Chapter 009: Numbers

It's dark down there, more like a bottomless pit. At this time, the thoughts of the three of them began to be confused, and they didn't know what the result would be, and they stayed for half an hour, and the horn began to be uncontrollable.

"We can't leave yet, what are you doing here?"

Chen Xie frowned,

"There is no way, we can only go down, there is no way back, this is our only choice, otherwise, let's wait for death here."

The fat man took out a cigarette, lit it, nodded his head, and did not say much.

The three of them began to get busy, and because it was dark underneath, they couldn't see how deep it was, so they opened the bag and took out a 200-meter-long climbing rope, one end of the rope was fixed to the inner wall of the sarcophagus, and the rest of the rope was put down. Chen Xie is walking at the bottom, followed by the fat man, and the number is the last one. With the help of the power of the rope to go down, very tired, if you are not careful, you will slide directly, they move down very slowly, Chen Xie moved down step by step, looked at the table below It was already ten o'clock in the evening, he used a flashlight to shine around, but the result was still the same, it was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything clearly. It's been moving down for half an hour, and another question comes, how deep is it down here, Chen Xie feels that the rope is coming to an end, if you go down further, what if the rope is not enough. Chen Xie began to worry, or walked down, within a few minutes the rope had reached the end, and the bottom was not yet to the end, at this time, Chen Xie hesitated, he didn't know how to go down, it was impossible to climb up, the only way was under his feet, yes, he had to jump down, maybe this was the best choice to get rid of death, Chen Xie smiled, he was thinking about how many dangers he had encountered along the way, and death was enough, but what he couldn't let go of in his heart was his cousin and friend, and his eyes began to blur, Tears trickled down his hand from time to time, and he mustered up the courage to jump off......

"Huh-huh-" A cold air blew on Chen Xie's face, his fingers moved, as if he had a sense, slowly he opened his eyes, it was dark in front of him, he couldn't see anything, he moved down, one hand searched around, fortunately, his backpack was still there, he opened the backpack, took out the flashlight, the moment he turned on the light, he was stunned, but he didn't see the horn and the fat man in front of him, instinctively reacted that he looked behind him, but there was still no shadow of them. Hey, a question came again, didn't the fat man and the number come down with him, logically speaking, their landing sites should be the same, no, they fell elsewhere, Chen Xie began to have a bad premonition in his heart, but fortunately he was still alive, Chen Xie smiled bitterly.

Chen Xie shined on the wall with a flashlight, the workmanship on the wall is very fine, the surface is very smooth, and there are some patterns engraved on it, which are very clear, and these patterns are some snake statues up close, snakes are curled up, upright, various forms, strange, there are some characters next to it, I can't understand it, but it looks like an oracle bone inscription, although Chen Xie is more fond of archaeology, but he is still at a loss for these words, he can't understand it, from which he only understands one word "snake" word, and what does this mean, will you encounter a snake cave, Chen Xie became scared.

He got up and stood up, it was a straight road, leading in different directions, and he had to make a difficult choice, and he remembered that he seemed to have done the same thing in his dream, it was messy, and he didn't remember it very clearly. Chen Xie didn't hesitate any longer, he chose his own front, he had the courage to continue to move forward, walking very lightly and slowly, it was very cold underneath and there was cold air blowing from time to time, Chen Xie's back was in a cold sweat, the surface of the ground was very damp, very wet, walked for about ten minutes, Chen Xie kept panting in his mouth, it may be that there was not enough oxygen, he was very tired, this road was very long, and he didn't know where it led.

On the way, Chen Xie sat down and rested, drank a sip of water, and gestured to look at the table below, the time was just zero o'clock, it wouldn't be so coincidental, Chen Xie was a little flustered, but he still closed his eyes, but at this moment,

"Boom-boom-"

There was a sound in Chen Xie's ears, he was awakened all of a sudden, he began to be vigilant, the voice came from the front, it sounded like the stone gate was moving, Chen Xie was not very sure, he was very excited and instantly became highly vigilant, it would not be the fat man and the trumpet, Chen Xie thought of them directly. If it weren't for them, who would it be, and if there were others?

Chen Xie walked over with the voice, because the human spirit is highly concentrated when it is highly concentrated, it may be very sensitive to the things around it, and at this time Chen Xie suddenly felt the heat of the light, and he didn't think much about it, he felt that it must be a fat man and a number, in front of him he saw that a stone door had been opened, and when he came to the middle, the Yongdao became a "ten" character Yongdao, there was a stone door on each side, but it was closed, the stone door in front of him had been opened, Chen Xie was very excited, ran over, suddenly,

"Bang-"

There was a loud bang, and I saw that two stone slabs in the middle of the corridor had sunk down, and a figure had fallen.

The surrounding air was cold, there was a corpse lying on the ground, its face was already crawling with maggots, it looked disgusting, one thigh had been broken, the leg was covered with blood, and most of the clothes on the body were torn and torn. Another cold air blew, Chen Xie was directly awakened subconsciously, he tried to get up, because he fell his leg twice and couldn't move, as if he was broken, he couldn't see what was around, he reached out and searched to both sides, and touched something soft, hey, what is this, maybe this is a human instinctive reaction.

"Ahh

Chen Xie was startled, this soft thing seemed to move, and he threw it out directly. Relying on the strength of his body, he got up, walked two steps, and slipped under his feet, this time he broke it, and his waist hurt very much, Chen Xie wanted to get up again, he couldn't use his strength, and his mouth was panting from time to time, his head was very dizzy, and he almost fainted, and it tried to find out if the bag was still around, but the result made him very disappointed, the bag was not there, it looked behind him again, a hard thing, what is this, Chen Xie began to get nervous, but when he got it in front of him, his heart calmed down, hey, this is a flashlight, He lay down for a while, gritted his teeth, got up, turned on the flashlight, the scene in front of him made him almost faint, there were snakes everywhere, they were devouring a corpse there, Chen Xie was stupid, he didn't dare to approach, for fear of alarming the snakes.

From a distance, this corpse is very fresh, as if it has just fallen in, Chen Xie squatted and approached slowly, walking very slowly, very close to the corpse, there was a backpack next to the corpse, and carefully found that one of his hands was still dragging something, Chen Xie tried to pull his hand away, but a group of snakes were next to the corpse, what should I do. Chen Xie didn't think much about it, first opened the corpse's backpack, which contained some tools for tomb robbery and some food, obviously someone had come, looking at this corpse, it should be less than three days, after a simple overall good backpack, Chen Xie still didn't give up, he wanted something in the hands of this tomb robber, maybe this thing would be of great help to him.

Chen Xie's moving pace slowly leaned over again, it was already very close, Chen Xie was in a cold sweat behind him, his sense of vigilance rose extremely, he carefully pulled away the corpse's hand, his hand was very cold to the touch, a cool air was coming, maybe more scared, Chen Xie could hear the heartbeat of "pounding-pounding-" from time to time, his hands were trembling from time to time, his mouth was trembling, panting, once, twice, three times...... Chen Xie counted silently in his heart.

However, the snakes did not notice that the corpse was still there, and they ate it with relish. When he finished counting the last hits, Chen Xie breathed a sigh of relief and took out his things. This thing is a wooden board, however, you will be surprised to find that there is a string of numbers engraved on the wooden board, with some soil on it, Chen Xie blew to clean the soil, only to see a string of numbers written on the wooden board "666040", Chen Xie didn't understand what this string of numbers represented, it wouldn't be a string of passwords, Chen Xie scratched his head and thought.

Chen Xie memorized the numbers and put them in his backpack and looked around. There are walls sealed all around, and there is no exit at all, maybe he can only wait for death here, Chen Xie began to despair.

"Boom-boom-"

The direction of the sound came from above, Chen Xie was startled, and shone upward, a stone door was opened, and suddenly, a voice came,

"Who's it, who's down there."

A beam of light shone from the stone cave and slanted on Chen Xie's face, making Chen Xie unable to open his eyes all of a sudden.

"Chen Xie, you are still alive, is it Chen Xie,"

The voice came again, mixed with excitement and joy.

Chen Xie was already panicking at this time, and with his voice, it sounded like a trumpet, but he was not very sure,

"Who are you?"

"It's Chen Xie, boy, I can't even hear your brother's voice,"

The trumpet shone the flashlight in the opposite direction on his face.
