The tall and thin man took out a box gun and aimed it at the second uncle, at this critical juncture, we were betrayed by the second uncle, and we couldn't hide it anymore, so we came out of the darkness, and at the same time raised the gun at them, the short and fat man also took out the gun, and the six people looked at each other like this, and the air was full of the smell of gunpowder, and it was about to explode. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In these few seconds, it seemed to me that a long time had passed, and everyone was looking at each other, vigilantly observing the movement around them, and we could hear each other's breathing. Zhang Lao was on crutches, and the short and fat man carried a bamboo basket with two sleeping white geese in it.

The second uncle broke the silence and hurriedly raised his hand: "A few of you be careful, be careful that the gun goes off, if you have something to say slowly, you should report your name first, maybe we are all people on the same road, and it is not good to be injured and angry." ”

Zhang Lao said: "You report your name first." ”

There must be one party who wants to say it first, and the second uncle said: "Don't be nervous three of you, if we want to kill you, we will do it behind the stone gate just now." ”

Zhang Lao felt that what he said made sense, glanced at the tall and thin and the short and fat ones, and signaled them to be careful, don't let the gun go off, and both sides will lose.

The second uncle said: "We originally came here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but I didn't expect to come here by mistake, I saw that the scenery here is good, so I came down to have a look." "The second uncle is really good at breaking around.

Zhang Lao laughed contemptuously: "You guys, don't tell the truth, think you can hide it from me?" Look at your outfit, it doesn't look like it was brought by travel, I think you're here to steal the weapon, right? ”

The second uncle laughed: "We are really here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, why don't you believe us?" I vouch for my personality. "I said in my heart, second uncle, your personality is too cheap and worthless.

Zhang Lao said: "Luoyang shovel, flashlight, diving suit, neat equipment, tell the truth, let's discuss, don't tell us that you are here to fish." ”

Our equipment was too conspicuous, exposed to the outside, and made such a low-level mistake, the second uncle saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "I won't hide it from you, a few of us are here to fight." So what are you guys here for? ”

At this time, Humpty Dumpty said: "Elder Zhang is our master, and the tall and thin man is my fellow senior brother, and we came this time just for the Ming Weapon in the tomb." ”

Zhang Lao said: "That's right, we have been here for a week, and we have never found the entrance. It's good for everyone to make friends and take care of them along the way. If you find the Ming weapon in the end, and the Ming people don't say dark words, everyone will add two to five, how about dividing it equally? ”

The second uncle asked Tong Xiangyu and me to put away the guns, and then said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, we are now advancing and retreating together in adversity, and everyone has put away the guns so as not to go off." ”

We all put our guns down and walked against the outside of the stone steps, which were pitch black. We are now in a tower, at the top of the tower, with a stone staircase spiraling down the outside of the tower. Our left side is the outside of the stone steps, and our right side is the inside of the stone steps.

Zhang Lao's flashlight swept to the steps and reminded everyone: "Everyone walk slowly, this place is very weird, everyone should be careful." ”

Zhang Lao took a step and took the lead towards the stone steps below. As we cautiously touched the wall and walked down, I realized something was wrong.

When Mr. Zhang saw me stop, he asked me, "Little brother, why don't you leave?" ”

I said, "Now it's obvious that the steps are spiraling down, which means we're going down around the inside of the stone steps, right?" ”

Zhang Lao estimated it in his heart, touched his beard, nodded and said, "Little brother, you are right. ”

I then said to Mr. Zhang: "We just kept walking on the periphery of the stone steps, but we didn't notice what was on the inside of the stone steps, because we felt that the outer side was the brightest, so our instinctive reaction was to walk along the outer side. ”

Humpty Dumpty suddenly panicked, and said again and again: "This little brother is right! ”

He turned on his flashlight and looked at the inside of the stone steps, and found that it was pitch black, with no reflection, and nothing could be seen.

The stone steps extend a long distance downward, and when we think of what is on the inside of the stone steps, we walk on thin ice, as if we are walking on the edge of a mountain cliff, and we don't even dare to lean over there, but we shrink on the outside of the stone steps, and look at the inside of the stone steps with our eyes wide open.

I shone my flashlight in that direction, and the glow of the flashlight seemed to be absorbed by something. Whatever it is, it's a little bit reflective, and if there's nothing there, the light from the flashlight can't reach the other side, how empty it must be, at least there should be a wind blowing.

I walked boldly over the stone steps, step by step, and only then did I see that the inside of the stone steps was a cylindrical wall, and the surface of the wall seemed to be coated with a layer of substance. I gently touched it with my hand, it was very slippery, and everyone was relieved to see that I didn't react.

Zhang Lao walked over to this side with great interest, and put a pestle on the cylinder with one end of his crutch, which was an entity, and immediately felt at ease, and his two apprentices also went over to see it together, as long as it was not a cliff.

Eager to see what the surface of the cylinder was, Humpty Dumpty touched the stone wall with the back of his hand. Zhang Lao said to me: "Little brother, try it with your short knife." ”

I knew what he meant, he wanted to see what was inside the cylinder. I poked it in with a short knife, as he said, and it was some gravel, and the surface of the cylinder was covered with black paint, so we could only see a black patch.

Zhang Lao glanced at the gravel on the tip of the knife and laughed, this earthen wall is a cylinder composed of gravel, coated with a layer of absorbent material.

I asked, "How could the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago have such a substance?" ”

Zhang Lao smiled and said, "At that time, there were many alchemists, and in addition to alchemy, they also knew alchemy, so it is not surprising that we saw these materials in this ancient tomb. Don't make a fuss, let's just go down the stone steps. ”

The flashlight shines six or seven steps ahead, and you can't see it clearly further away. We walked and walked, and I don't know how long we walked, Tong Xiangyu stopped: "We have now walked down 2,000 steps, and the thickness of one step is 0.2 meters, which is a total of 400 meters vertically down." ”

This distance of 400 meters, if placed on land and tiled, is a very close distance, and it can be completed in five minutes. If you convert that to height, it's a little scary. 400 meters at an altitude, how tall does that have to be? The thousand-year-old snake cypress we saw was only more than 20 meters, and it was already very tall. No building has been built more than 200 meters in the world, so if you change it to a depth, 400 meters underground, what is the concept?

The atmosphere grew dreary, and his two apprentices were reluctant to go any further, saying that it might be dangerous.

Humpty Dumpty said, "Master, this place is simply an abyss, like hell, and there is no bottom, it seems to be a bottomless pit, if we continue like this, will we go to the eighteenth layer of hell?" ”
