Chapter 55: Escape
The time of Kunlun Jinque is too long, and it is impossible for us to promote what happened here from the only remaining broken ice blocks and a few destroyed ice coffins in the ice room, the only thing that can be determined is that buried in these five ice coffins, the dead with noble status disappeared into this mysterious ice coffin like a ghost.
Tian Ji said that as long as he didn't suddenly run out and scare people, he quickly swept away all the jade and jewelry buried in the five ice coffins, and we retreated back to the ice room where the ice coffin of the Yellow Emperor was placed.
Tian Ji dragged his backpack on his shoulder and panted on his shoulder, and when I took out the last dry food and handed it to him, I looked at him with strange eyes: "After eating this meal, we will run out of food, do you think it is possible to take these things out?" ”
"Don't say sad words, people from forty years ago didn't go out, not to mention that there are five dead people who can climb out, look for them after eating, there is no endless road." The appearance of the field chicken is very optimistic.
"Even if you are lucky enough to find an exit, but we are running out of ammunition, how far can you go in the ice and snow with these jade jewels that cannot be eaten." Gong Jue took a bite of the compressed biscuit, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Tian Ji was stunned for a moment, hesitated anxiously for a long time, and still didn't put down the backpack behind him: "No matter, if you can't get out, or die outside, you remember to bury these things with me, I didn't get rich before I was alive, and I have to be tied to my waist after death." ”
"You're dead, why do you need these things?" I laughed happily.
"Money can make ghosts grind, and it can be used to make dots below, Lord Yama is happy, and maybe I will be reincarnated to find a good family in the next life." Tian Ji replied seriously.
"How much do you hate your parents, it's not easy to raise you so big, why are you so angry when you mention your parents." I lay on the ground bored and looked at the top of the ice room, where the ice water pooled like a waterfall fell into the pool in the middle.
"My mother is a good person, my father is old and stubborn, I have to listen to him for everything, what I should do and what I shouldn't do since I was a child, nothing I can call the shots, he arranged it." The field chicken also lay on the ground, eating the last biscuit in his hand. "In a word, he is right in everything, I am wrong in everything I do, and then I will work with him."
"Unfilial things, you are born in happiness and don't know blessings, you still have your parents to hurt, I ...... with the palace lord" I sighed heavily.
"What did your dad do?" Gong Jue asked curiously.
"My dad...... Don't talk about him. Tian Ji wanted to speak and stopped, looking a little guilty, and whispered to himself next to him. How would he react if he knew that I had found the tomb of the Yellow Emperor......"
I kicked the chicken, lazily handed him the kettle, and asked him to get some water, and the chicken got up and put the kettle in the middle of the pool platform, and the water on the roof of the ice room just fell into the kettle.
"Do you think the feng shui here is good?" The field chicken came back and lay down next to me. "In case we can't get out, there is a ready-made coffin inside, and one person chooses one to lie inside."
"You're buried inside, and no one else knows who you are." The palace lord replied lazily.
Tian Ji was stunned as if he thought of something, and quickly took out a knife and squatted on the edge of the pool, we heard the sound of the knife carved on the ice, I was too lazy to get up and lie down and ask what he was doing, Tian Ji said that the names of the three of us and the experience of discovering this place were engraved, in case this place was discovered in the future, the three of us can also go down in history.
"We are tomb robbers, and you still expect to leave a name for eternity, but you can figure it out." Gong Jue smiled weakly. "Don't engrave my name, you can't afford to lose this person."
"Yes, if you want to stay, you will be left alone, with your literary style, I suggest that leaving four words is enough." I laughed.
"Engrave what?" Tian Ji asked in front.
"Come here." As soon as I spoke, the palace lord and I burst out laughing.
I didn't hear the sound of Tian Ji, under normal circumstances, he would probably scold back, I didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned my head and said to Gong Jue, if Kunlun Jinque has a way out, it should be here, I have to find a way to find it as soon as possible, Gong Jue nodded and propped up his body from the ground, the whole person froze, and then looked around in a panic.
"What's wrong?" I looked up and asked suspiciously.
"Tian ...... The field chicken is gone. Gong Jue's voice was alarmed.
I got up in surprise, there are only two of us left in the whole ice room, and the field chicken that was still engraved on the ground just now has no trace, we quickly stood up, shouted and walked in the ice room, at first I thought that the field chicken was joking with us, and when we finished looking for all the places, we realized that the field chicken really disappeared in the ice palace.
Gong Jue subconsciously turned his head to look at the ear chamber on the right, looking at his panicked expression, I guessed what he was thinking, in this ice room, there were five dead people who crawled out of the ice palace by themselves like field chickens, and they didn't feel anything before, but now they are a little creepy in retrospect.
Gong Jue and I went back to the place where Tian Ji squatted before he disappeared, and he really carved our names crookedly on the ice, the last name was his, and the last stroke of Tian Qi's words was not finished, that is, Tian Ji was still carving these names before he disappeared.
"Kettle?" I caught a glimpse of the platform that had been placed in the middle of the pool before I saw the chickens.
I walked to the edge of the pool in surprise, my mind was confused, the pheasant had put the kettle here before it disappeared, but now there is nothing on the platform, how could the pheasant and the kettle disappear so suddenly in an instant.
I reached out to get some water to wash my face, trying to sober me up with the cold snow water, and when my hand stopped the water jet flowing from the top, I was surprised to find that the water in the pool immediately sank.
"Palace ......"
I turned my head to remind the palace lord, and then the whole person opened his mouth in horror, I was now the only one left in the ice room, and the palace lord who was squatting behind me just now was gone.
Suddenly I felt my scalp hairy, I couldn't help but squirm my Adam's apple, I didn't even dare to call their names out loud, and I felt a chill overflowing through my heart, and I tried to calm myself down, thinking about what I had overlooked.
I wiped a handful of water on my face, and suddenly raised my head, the field chicken disappeared after receiving water from the kettle, and the palace lord disappeared when I took over to wash my face, I hurriedly looked at the water flowing down from the top of the tomb, and remembered that when I received the water just now, the water level of the pool was falling.
This shows that there is a drainage place in the ice room, otherwise the ice water will overflow and flood the entire ice palace, we have seen the connected underground river at the bottom of the Kunlun Golden Gate, and the ice water should eventually flow into the dark river, but the ice palace is all made of ice, and we have not found a channel for drainage along the way.
My eyes fell on the pool again, since the water surface can be lowered, the drain should probably be in the pool, I immediately took out another kettle, put it on the platform in the middle of the pool, the water surface of the pool was blocked and immediately slowly sank, I stepped back and stood to the place where the chicken was engraved,
Cha!
I heard a sound under my feet, and before I could react, my body seemed to fall from the sky, and the whole person instantly spun and fell rapidly in the ring ice track, I shouted loudly out of fear, and the smooth walls had no place to grasp, and I didn't know what was going on.
When I looked outside through the ice, I found that I was now inside the tall all-over ice tower, and suddenly I realized that the huge and towering icicle was the pillar of the core of the Kunlun Golden Gate, and the ice chamber where the Yellow Emperor's ice coffin was located was just above the icicle.
There is a passage in the middle of this icicle, which is the only way out of Kunlun Jinque, the water flow is blocked, the water level in the pool drops to a certain extent, and the mechanism of the channel will be opened.
With the rapid fall, it didn't take long for me to hear the sound of rushing water, and I could faintly hear the shouts of Tian Ji and Gong Jue in front of me, and I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
Poof!
I fell from the passage into the cold and biting river, and when I swam out of the water, it was pitch black all around, this should be the dark river under the Kunlun Jinque, I was washed forward with the current, I shivered in the ice water and cursed secretly, who would build such a perverted and exciting passage.
After drifting for a long time, I suddenly saw a faint light in front of me, which should be the outlet of the dark river, there was a feeling of seeing the light of day, the more I went forward, the brighter it became, I finally saw Tian Ji and Gong Jue in the glacier, the two of them grabbed a cut tree in the river and waved to me, I was very relieved to see that they were safe and sound.
The water in front of me suddenly became turbulent, I saw Tian Ji and Gong Jue waving to me while saying something, they looked a little excited, but unfortunately the sound of the water was getting louder and louder, I couldn't hear it clearly, I was somewhat relieved, I haven't seen it for a long time, look how much they think about me.
When I was rushed to their side and firmly grasped the branches, I realized that the faces of the two of them were not the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe, nor did I see the worry about me, and I finally heard what Qing Tian Ji and Gong Jue shouted at me.
Don't come......
