Chapter 808: The End of the Tunnel
It was a very thick candle with a plastic wrap on the outside, as if to prevent the wick from getting soaked with water.
Did Wu Lin leave it to us again? I looked at Liu Shangang with confusion, but most of Liu Shangang's body was in the shadows, and I couldn't see his expression clearly.
He seemed a little hesitant and stood there for a moment, but finally tore off the plastic wrap and lit the candle.
Not counting the bright light of the fire that can illuminate the scene within two meters, leaving this range is almost pitch black, Liu Shangang pointed to the candle and asked me, "What is Wu Lin going to do?" ”
I could only reply, "I don't know." ”
Now I have a faint feeling that the light source that Wu Lin left us to guide us seems to be to lead us into the depths of the tunnel.
But I can't tell what he did it for.
It's true that this man is not a friend, but I have a feeling that he is neither a friend nor an enemy, what the hell is he going to do?
At this moment, the white phosphorus burned out, and the road we had traveled before fell into complete darkness once again.
Now that we're here, no matter what's in front of us, let's take a look at it again, maybe Wu Lin left these two things to us, and he also did it behind Renqing's back.
Liang Houzai frowned for a moment and said, "Wu Lin seems to have other purposes for coming to this place. ”
I nodded: "Indeed, I remember that when he went to the power plant, he said that he went to the power plant just to retrieve his black copper cup, in fact, at that time, I was thinking that the reason why Wu Lin came to this place seemed to have some ulterior motive, and what he was looking for didn't seem to have much to do with Luo Zhongxing and Renqing." ”
Hearing my words, Liang Houzai fell into deep thought and didn't speak again for a long time.
After a moment's hesitation, I waved my hand at Liu Shangang: "Keep going." ”
The flame of the candle is very unstable, a little stronger wind can blow it out, Liu Shangang can only deliberately slow down the pace in order to keep the candle flame burning normally, Liang Houzai and I followed behind him, and the span of the pace was also reduced to half of the usual time.
It wasn't until halfway through the candle that I could faintly see a faint reflection at the very edge of the firelit area, where there was either a wall or another stone door.
Liang Houzai took two quick steps and patted Liu Shangang, Liu Shangang turned his head to look at him, and he waved his hand and signaled Liu Shangang to stop moving forward.
After that, Liang Houzai took out the golden bones, and Liu Shangang and I immediately understood what he meant, and quickly took out the weapon.
After walking for so long, Renqing and Wu Lin didn't show up, and now that they were almost at the end of the tunnel, it was impossible for the two of them not to show up.
I squinted my eyes and looked closely at the nearby caves, and I always felt as if there were people in each hole, and there seemed to be two pairs of eyes staring at us in each hole.
Liu Shangang observed for a moment, then took out an iron ball-like thing from his backpack, threw it out with a flick of his hand, and then there was a sound of the iron ball and the stone wall hitting from the opposite side.
Because the sound source was out of the range of light, the naked eye could not see where the iron ball had fallen, but Liu Shangang could judge where the iron ball had hit just by hearing, and he raised his gun and shot at a very fast speed.
The sound of gunfire and explosions rang out almost simultaneously, and a small burst of fire erupted three or four meters away, and the flames were cast into several holes, and I saw three figures reflected on the inner wall of one of the holes.
We immediately rushed towards the entrance of the cave, and when Renqing and Wu Lin learned that their whereabouts were exposed, they quickly carried the Great Witch out of the hole.
Because Liu Shangang was running too fast, the candle flame went out as he ran.
As soon as the fire disappeared, I could only run following Liu Shangang's footsteps, and when I arrived at this place, the sound was no longer blocked, and I could not only hear Liu Shangang's footsteps, but also the sound of Renqing and Wu Lin running away.
At that time, I was five or six meters away from the stone wall at the end of the tunnel, and Liu Shangang fired a shot, but it didn't seem to hit the target, and then I heard the sound of something being pushed.
I don't know what happened, I just ran forward with my head down, and I didn't run a few steps before I hit Liu Shangang, who screamed "oops" and hit something hard.
Listening to the dull crashing sound, he must have hit the wall.
But how could he hit the wall, weren't Renqing and Wu Lin in front of him?
At this time, Liu Shangang lit the candle again, and I saw that less than a meter in front of me was a stone gate that was one person high and half a meter wide, and the stone door was inlaid in the center of the stone wall, exuding a strange chill.
Liu Shangang wiped the blood from his nose while carefully observing the door.
I asked him later, "What about Renqing and Wu Lin?" ”
Liu Shangang pointed to the door: "I went in, they were very fast, and the door closed before I could react." ”
I walked to the stone door, and when I saw that there was no handle on the door, I pushed it hard, but the door and the stone wall seemed to be dead, and I couldn't push it at all.
Liu Shangang saw that I couldn't shake the stone door after adding force a few times, and he also frowned: "What's the matter, Renqing and Wu Lin obviously went in at once, could it be that this door was hidden just now, and they locked the door inside after they entered." ”
Liang Houzai came up, he looked at the door, and shook his head: "No, the two of them should have just arrived here, it is unlikely that a stone gate like this is hidden, you pay attention to the traces around the crack in the door, it is tightly sealed, indicating that it has never been opened." ”
When he said this, I was puzzled: "It has never been opened, so how did Renqing and Wu Lin get in?" ”
Liang Houzai touched his chin, and he also had a confused expression: "I don't know, maybe when this door is opened, it is different from what I imagined." ”
I didn't understand what he meant: "What do you mean?" ”
Liang Houzai pursed his lips and shook his head, but he didn't respond to my question, just said, "We have to find a way to get in, the next day the Great Witch is still in their hands." ”
I didn't talk nonsense, let Liu Shangang push it away a little, and then leaned in front of the door and carefully inspected the door panel that was only half a meter wide.
The door was cut out of a large stone slab, which looked unusually flat, but when I touched the door panel with my hand just now, I noticed that the touch from above was very strange, and the palm pressed against it, as if it was pressed against a piece of sandpaper with a very fine surface.
In other words, the surface of this stone gate seems to have a fine layer of sand attached.
Thinking of this, I immediately took out the green steel sword and tried to slap the door panel with the blade of the sword a few times, and with a few muffled sounds, the door panel shook violently a few times, and the sand attached to the door panel also fell off one by one.
I stopped halfway through and asked Liu Shangang if the "click" sound he heard when he first entered the tunnel was from the stone gate.
Liu Shangang pondered for a while, and finally nodded at me.
There is a mechanism on the door.
This was the first thought that popped into my mind after Liu Shangang's affirmative answer to me.
Considering that the mechanism on the door may have been arranged very delicately, and the disrepair for many years, those clever arrangements are likely to be fragile, so I was much more careful in my next move, and I didn't dare to slap the door with the blade of my sword again, so I could only scrape the sand off the door little by little.
As the "sand layer" was cleared by me, the door revealed two grooves of different shapes, one of which was square and the other like a palm print with five fingers open.
I cleaned the sand out of the groove again and found that although the two grooves were different in shape, they were of the same depth.
The palm print was very large, almost the size of my entire chest, and the square indentation was similar in size to the surface of the Fantian seal.
As a rule of thumb, if you fill the two grooves with the right object, you can touch the hidden mechanism in the stone door, but we are not sure what will happen when the mechanism is touched, maybe the stone door will be opened, or maybe a deadly trap will be hidden in the dark corner.
Liu Shangang's voice sounded in my ears: "Isn't this the severed palm of the mountain god?" ”
I looked over to Liu Shangang, and I saw that Liu Shangang quickly ran to a nearby hole, and the firelight followed him, illuminating the entire hole.
Only then did I realize that there was a severed arm hanging from the edge of the cave, that is, the severed arm of the mountain god, and before that, it and the bottle of blood had been hanging on Renqing's waist.
Because the mountain god's palm was too big and his fingers were too long, Renqing also tied the entire palm with a wire.
Liu Shangang first carried the broken arm out of the hole, and then poked his head into the hole.
Liang Houzai couldn't help but remind: "Be careful!" ”
Liu Shangang didn't respond verbally, but soon he turned his head, and there was an extra claw of a water cat in his hand, the claw was very sharp, the color of the claw was very dark, it must have been coated with poison, and there was a steel wire tied to the root of the melon, this claw was originally on Wu Lin's body.
The two of them, why did they leave these two things here? I thought the severed arm and the long claws of the water cat were very important things for them.
Liu Shangang looked at the two things and asked Liang Houzai and me: "Could it be that this is left to us by Wu Lin again?" ”
I couldn't help but frown: "What the hell is he going to do?" ”
Liu Shangang shook his head, and Liang Houzai said: "First leave the lamp, and then leave these two things, how can I feel more and more that Wu Lin seems to be deliberately trying to lure us here." The mountain god palm corresponds to the palm-shaped dent, and the square dent should correspond to the Fantian seal. Brother Dao, I have a feeling that they deliberately lured us here, just to open this door with your Fantian seal, Wu Lin and Renqing should still be hiding nearby. ”
"They went in," said Liu Shangang, "and I can pack a ticket for this, although I couldn't see anything just now, but my ears are still very smart." ”
I touched my chin: "In other words, Wu Lin quietly threw these things out the moment he entered the door, and he wanted us to follow suit?" ”
Liang Houzai: "But what is his purpose?" ”
I have already asked this question just now, and now I have asked it again, which shows that not only me, but even he can't see through Wu Lin.
Liu Shangang frowned: "What's the matter now, can't you open this door?" ”
The next Dan Dawu is still in the hands of Renqing and Wu Lin, if I don't catch up quickly, I'm afraid that the next Dan Dawu will encounter accidents, but Wu Lin's mind is really unpredictable.
After thinking briefly for a moment, I decided to open the door, no matter what Wu Lin was thinking, I had an obligation to protect the life of the next Dan Dawu.
"Open the door!" As I said this, I untied the fire silk cloth.
Liu Shangang also cut the wire that bound the palm of the mountain god.
We are also not sure which one should be filled in first, and we are also not sure whether it will be useful to press the Fantian Seal and the Mountain God's palm up, after all, although there is no Fantian Seal and the Mountain God's Palm just now, both dents are filled with a lot of fine sand.
But now I can't care about this, after I untied the fire silk cloth, I quickly pressed the Fantian seal into the square indentation, and Liu Shangang quickly pressed the severed palm of the mountain god into the palm-shaped groove.
