Chapter 32: Crossing the Passage
When they heard my words, they all looked nervously in both directions, and saw that the walls on both sides were indeed moving closer to the middle at a speed visible to the naked eye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'll go, the wall is really moving in the middle." Tianming only found out about this, and asked again: "Then what should I do?" Run? Where to run? ”
"Where else can I run, run forward, I can't believe I can't get out after walking for so long." The second uncle shouted from behind.
At this time, we all looked back and forth, and the exit of the passage was already far away from us, and if we ran back, we were already flattened by these two walls before we could run halfway, and the front was pitch black, and there was no end in sight.
But this time you have to die, the road behind is also blocked, and it is useless to go back, so you can only run forward desperately, and there is no hesitation at the moment, just rush forward.
We followed one by one, I don't know how far we ran, suddenly all the miner's lights went out at once, we couldn't even see the surrounding walls clearly, I couldn't even see where the master's back was, I could only hear the sound of footsteps.
"Kina, Kina, are you still there?" My dad shouted loudly from behind.
"Yes." I replied.
"You're all still there, reply." My dad asked again.
"Yes." I first heard the response of the second uncle and Tianming, and then I heard the response of Abu, and it seems that we have not lost it.
"Why is there no end to this passage, why are the walls on both sides unresponsive?" Suddenly, we noticed that the walls on both sides seemed to have stopped, and I shook my hands in either side, but I didn't touch anything.
After a while, the miner's lamp in our hands turned out to be normal again, and it lit up instantly. Neither of us understood what was going on, but when we shone the lamp in either direction, we couldn't see anything.
It turned out that we had run out of the passage at some point, and there was an empty clearing around us, surrounded by strange rocks and unknown plants. But at the moment, I immediately wondered again, how could there be plants in this tomb?
We shone the miner's lamp behind us, and found that there was a crack in the wall not far away, which looked very consistent with the gap in the previous passage, but there was no exit to the passage.
I looked at the gap and suddenly understood, it turned out to be the gap where the passage was closed, and we didn't know when we had run out of the passage, because there was no light, so we didn't know where we had run, so we just ran forward with all our might, regardless of whether there was a way out in front of us, and when we ran to this open space, we found that we were not in the passage at all.
Thinking about the moving walls in that passage, we're all a little scared. If this passage had been a little longer, we would have been crushed into meatloaf, but we still can't explain why the lamp went out.
Tianming breathed a long sigh of relief in front of him and said: "This Witch Spirit King is really not human, he can think of such a perverted design, and now those scientists and engineers really can't compare to him." ”
"Leave that passage alone, do you want to go back and do it all over again?" The second uncle said, "Let's take a good look at where there are places around where you can go out!" We're afraid we won't be able to find this witch king's main burial chamber for a while, so we have to find a way to get out as soon as possible. ”
"But where can I find this exit? Are we going to make a tunnel out of this mountain? I said helplessly.
"Let's look for it, maybe we can dig it somewhere." Abu said stupidly at this time.
"Okay, you're amazing." When I heard Abu say this, I thought so in my heart, but it was difficult to say it, I really didn't know if Abu was really stupid or fake, and where to find a place to dig a hole in this mountain.
If you dig up to the top, you can't reach it, and if you dig down, you can dig up to the underground river, isn't this digging a pit and burying yourself in it? And before we dig down, we're tired to death here, and this Abu really doesn't feel a backache when he stands and talks.
At this time, the second uncle also looked helpless, and even the little master's face showed a trace of worry, so I think we are probably really in big trouble, and there is really no place to go out inside this mountain.
"Hey, let it be!" My dad suddenly sighed, but I didn't expect that even my dad began to despair.
"Don't be discouraged, let's go any further, maybe we'll find another exit!" I walked to the front, turned to them, and looked at them with a serious face.
"Yes." At this time, only Abu replied to me, and the master nodded to me, but neither the second uncle nor my father spoke, but their eyes were shining, and they looked at me fixedly, and I also looked at them, and they were silent for most of the time.
A moment later, my dad came over, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Silly son, you didn't give up, how could we give up?" Besides, your second uncle and I have fallen for decades, and the fight for decades has been in vain? If it's so difficult, let's give up, so what's the fight, it's better to do a small business at home! ”
I heard my father say this, and smiled awkwardly, it turned out that I was thinking too much about myself, and with the second uncle, they all laughed, it was really bullying me for the first time I didn't know anything.
In order to resolve this embarrassment, I immediately looked at the strange plants and stones around me and asked, "How can there be plants in this mountain, and where are there so many strange stones?" ”
Some of those stones resemble some animals, such as cattle and sheep, some resemble jars and so on, like some pots, pots, etc., and some of them I can't even name, which is very strange.
The plants are completely red branches and leaves, as if they have just been dyed with blood, but the places where our miner's lamp can shine are really limited, and we can't see it very clearly further afield, but it is certain that the one in the distance is also this blood-red plant in front of me, anyway, I have never seen it so big.
As for its appearance, at the top is a peony-like flower, with a rattan attached below, and a few sparse leaves on it, and there are such plants everywhere that if you don't look closely, you think it's a snake holding a peony.
The plant in front of me suddenly reminded me of the carving I had seen at the bottom of the sarcophagus before, and that carving was not exactly this plant.
So I immediately said to my father, "Dad, this plant ......."
Before I could finish speaking, my father already understood, and replied: "Don't say it, I know, this plant is the carved pattern on the coffin of the silk book, but we have seen this plant, so what about the snake with horns and front feet!" ”
When my father finished speaking, I also remembered that in addition to the blood-red plant, there was also the serpentine with horns and front feet. But we never saw the animal at this time, so we could only pay attention to the changes around us, worrying about where the animal would suddenly come out.
So I replied, "Isn't it here?" That animal is so rare that it may have become extinct long ago. ”
"Huh! The things in this tomb can be said, since this witch king can control the souls of the dead, then this witchcraft must be amazing, maybe he really used some method to preserve these strange species. After listening to us, the second uncle glanced at the blood-red plants and said.
At this moment, Tianming's flashlight shone somewhere, and there seemed to be a platform in that place, and when Tianming saw the platform, he hurriedly pointed at us and said, "Look, what is that?" ”
We were all interrupted by Tianming's sudden words, and we were still thinking about the origin of these plants, but when we looked at Tianming's hand, we didn't have any more mood to pay attention to those plants.
When we all focused the lamps on that place, a stone platform was floating steadily in the air, and it was pitch black underneath, and there was nothing connected to the platform above, but the platform did not fall, and nothing else happened.
The underside of the platform was like an awl, plunging into the endless darkness below, while the top was as smooth as freshly laid concrete.
When we took a few steps further, we saw a bottomless abyss appear in front of us, and for the sake of safety, we all took a few steps back, so as not to slip under our feet and fall to the bottom of the abyss.
And when we looked back at the platform suspended in mid-air, we found that there was a blood-red coffin on the platform.
