Chapter Thirty-Eight: Eight Corners and Eight Gates
"No one here, except yourself, can be trusted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Xiao Ji said this in a rather serious tone, not like he was talking casually, and he was not the kind of person who joked casually. Su Lan's heart froze, and after Xiao Ji said this, he bypassed Su Lan and continued to walk down, appearing next to Mr. Zhao in less than two seconds, looking like nothing had happened.
Zhang Xuan turned around and greeted: "Su Lan, hurry up!" The whole team is the slowest you go. ”
"Oops, hey, here we are!" Su Lan answered, trotted down the stairs and came behind Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan asked: "Why are you stupid looking at the wall there alone?" ”
"I'm not looking at ......" Su Lan realized halfway through her words that no one seemed to notice that Xiao Ji deliberately stayed behind, and a thought quickly flashed in her heart: Could it be that Xiao Ji deliberately stayed behind just to tell me to be wary of these people? In this way, I exposed that he didn't die by himself, and changed his words halfway through, "Uh, haha, these stone carvings look quite novel, and I unconsciously look at it." ”
"The word silly can't sum you up, stupid cute is more appropriate."
“……”
Ten minutes later, the four of them came to the bottom of the spiral staircase, and Zhang Xuan ran to the bottom to take a look: "No road?" ”
"There are mechanisms on the walls. Octagonal and eight-sided, eight-sided and eight-faced. One door of life, the rest of the door of death. Su Lan didn't even think about it, so she directly talked nonsense, but Mr. Zhao actually bowed his head: "It should be like this." ”
"Wow, I can't believe you still have some water in your stomach." Zhang Xuan looked impressed.
Hehe...... It's just that I've read a lot of tomb robbery novels, and I still have an impression. Su Lan laughed dryly, but pretending to be successful in front of Zhang Xuan was still quite useful. Mr. Zhao stopped before walking to one of them with a wolf's eye lamp, and said to Xiao Ji, "There are marks you made on this wall. ”
Su Lan and the others followed, and sure enough, they saw a scribbled "S" symbol on the corner. Zhang Xuan said: "It's a good habit to make marks casually, but Mr. Ji, when have you ever been here?" ”
"Before." Xiao Ji said.
The answer is as if he didn't say it, and you can't say that he didn't tell the truth. Zhang Xuan's face turned a little green all of a sudden, Xiao Ji walked to the mark, squatted down, pressed his hand on the symbol, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "This is not a living door." ”
"What?" Su Lan was a little stunned all of a sudden, "Didn't you make a mark?" ”
"Your so-called octagonal eight doors are the method of Han people making tombs, and the Xuduan people only borrowed some of the Han people's tomb traditions in the architectural pattern, and in essence followed the ruthless style of the Qiduan people." Xiao Ji said lightly, "In order to bury the secret, the craftsmen who built the tomb and the people who sent the monarchs into the mausoleum after the death of the successive monarchs will be martyred. The eight-sided doors are all dead doors, only entering and not leaving, and there is no difference in essence. ”
After Xiao Ji said this, everyone immediately fell into a tragic atmosphere of gloom and mist. Zhang Xuan hesitated and said, "Then since they are all the doors of death, will we go in ...... Will it be dangerous? ”
"Nonsense," Su Lan rolled her eyes directly, "Where did you listen to the story that Mr. Zhao told just now." Needi to say anything else, as long as we go into that kind of fantasy called the maze again, I guess we'll have to finish it. ”
"But since Mr. Ji is standing here in a good manner, it means that at least he has survived these institutions before." Zhang Xuan comforted himself and said.
"Of course, that's Xiao Ji, if Zhang Xuan thinks you have his skills and reflexes, I think you will definitely have no problem. As for the others, they all folded here when they saw it. Xiao Ji, don't you say? Thinking of her father, whose life and death were uncertain, Su Lan's tone suddenly became a little aggressive.
"Yes." Xiao Ji answered.
I'll go, I said it's you?! Su Lan remembered the rumor that Su San said that only Xiao Ji came back alive from countless expeditions, and now that she saw it, it was simply a flag standing high. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this conversation could not continue, and said haha: "Now, Mr. Zhao, since your subordinate Xiao Ji said so, isn't my rookie going in to die?" You see......"
"If we leave you in, it's a dead end for you to stay alone." Mr. Zhao said simply.
It's a fucking reality. It's a uncomfortable feeling to be on a thief ship and not get off, like a fish in your throat.
"But don't be too discouraged," Mr. Zhao was the only one who wasn't affected by Xiao Ji's words, and his tone was as relaxed as if he was talking about the weather, "Although they are all dead doors, the mechanisms inside can be destroyed." Even if it is a reusable mechanism, it will not be as powerful as it was at the beginning after someone walks through it once. This road has been walked by Xiao Ji before, and that is enough. ”
As he spoke, Mr. Zhao pressed the mechanism, and the wall spun to the side, revealing the gloomy tomb passage. Xiao Ji watched Mr. Zhao walk in without saying a word, and then followed in.
Su Lan and Zhang Xuan glanced at each other, and successfully saw the same bewildered expression on her face as herself. Zhang Xuan was obviously still angry about Xiao Ji's words, and asked in a low voice: "You are also a person who learned archaeological knowledge from your father, do you think there will be danger in this tomb?" ”
"I don't know." Su Lan replied in a low voice. Please, is archaeology the same thing as tomb robbing? Not to mention that I didn't even study archaeology, after I went to high school, I was busy preparing for the college entrance examination, and I didn't know anything when I went to college, even my dad was sitting in the office to study porcelain restoration and restoration of ancient paintings, and he didn't know if you asked him about this.
"I don't think Mr. Ji is the kind of person who is alarmist."
"I don't think so."
"That ......"
"Oh, that's a lot. You are much better than me, if you hang up, I will definitely die a long time ago, and we are not lonely on the Huangquan Road. ”
", who's going to die with you." Zhang Xuan looked disgusted, bit her lip and stomped her foot to chase in.
"Hey! You all like to leave me behind as the last one! Su Lan chased after him, but he ran too fast, and suddenly felt that the bricks under his feet had sunken, and he sighed in his heart. Zhang Xuan shouted: "Be careful! ”
Damn?! I just ran two steps and stepped on the mechanism, which has to be a little back-Su Lan just felt that her feet were empty, and her arm didn't catch anything for a long time, and the whole person fell straight down.
