Chapter 22 The Stone Gate of the Organ
There were no other forks in the cave, and a large road paved with stone bricks led almost all the way to the end.
Nothing to say all the way.
At this time, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and walked very fast.
The deeper I went, the more lush the roots of the thick trees around me became. Some of the thick roots of the trees were so rooted in the soil that they even blocked the stone brick path, so we had to bypass or climb up and keep going.
Because I have been in the dark, I have no concept of time, so I don't know how long I have been walking. I thought to myself, next time I come to a place like this, I'll have to bring a pedometer and see how many steps I can walk along the way, and then I start scolding - Bah, Baba Blah, Crow's Mouth! I can't come back to this kind of place when I die.
I walked with my head bored, and slowly suddenly felt cold on my body, I tugged at the collar of my coat, thinking to myself that it was impossible to blow the wind in this cave, where did the chill come from?
was about to mutter, when he saw Xiao Rong, who was walking in front and carrying a man with a mole on his back all the way, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" The girl asked.
Xiao Rong didn't answer, but stared at a certain place, and after a long time, he pointed to the depths of the darkness, "Look there." ”
A group of people immediately looked at the place where he was pointing, and saw that it was pitch black in the depths, and there was nothing to see except the roots of the trees.
"There's a house there." Xiao Rong prompted.
I said to myself, what kind of eyes is this, I can't see anything even if I stare out, how can he see that there is a house there? But along the way, looking at Xiao Rong's performance, I am still willing to choose to believe him.
"House? What kind of house? I asked Xiao Rong.
"I don't know, it seems to be...... Wooden house. Xiao Rong replied uncertainly.
"Would you like to go over and have a look?" The girl asked.
I hurriedly said that we can pull it down, let's not get into trouble, it's important to hurry, and then we have to continue walking. Who knew that Dadong suddenly stretched out his hand to hold me down and beckoned: "You wait, I'll be back immediately." Then, without saying a word, the wind rushed towards the "house."
Watching the light of the Dadong flashlight run farther and farther, I was very depressed, and I said that this kind of knot, don't cause any more trouble. After waiting anxiously for about ten minutes, Dadong's flashlight light appeared again in the darkness.
I watched the light slowly come over, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly realized that something was not right, only to see that in the dark, the light of Dadong's flashlight moved very slowly, and it shook very strongly.
As the flashlight slowly approached, I heard the strange sound of "boom-boom-" and "hum-buzz-" coming from a distance. The voice sounded like cloth and metal...... I can't tell, but it felt like something was being dragged on the ground.
This gave me a bad feeling all of a sudden.
My first instinct was that something was biting Dadong's leg, and he struggled, dragging it along with him to move this way. But then I dismissed the idea, because if there was danger, he could have screamed for help.
Why didn't he say a word?
The others may have thought of something, their expressions were tense, and the girl even pressed her hand on the small pistol at her waist. We waited anxiously for a while, until Dadong really appeared under the light of our flashlight, and we looked at each other and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that Dadong got a hemp rope out of nowhere, and the rope was tied to a huge linen package, I don't know what it was, but it was enough to be a man high.
"What is this?" The girl hurriedly asked.
"Something will be useful later." Dadong said, tearing open the corner of the package. When I saw it, it was actually a bronze object.
I said, don't toss around, copper is not worth much now, and it can be sold at the scrap station for a maximum of a hundred yuan, and it is useless to bring it back, and it is in vain. He scolded me for farting and told me to hurry away and not be nosy. I pouted and ignored him.
The group moved on.
Dadong dragged that thing away, and the noise of "buzzing" along the way gave me a headache, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I came behind him and riveted enough to help him carry it together.
Dadong said: "You kid is actually very good, but the old chirp is crooked, and there are ...... Looks too underwhelmed. "Then he said that I had a little white face, and I looked like a 'second master' across the street from his house.
I scolded, "Get out of the calf, don't come to disgust me, you are only the second master's face, you look at your body for yourself, but I don't know how many rich women are vying for it!" ”
Dadong continued to hurt me, saying how could I understand the market so well, and whether I had really done it.
I'm really angry, to be honest.
I always suffer a loss when I fight with Dadong, but I definitely can't beat him, he holds the Miao knife that ordinary people can dance with their hands, just like taking a lollipop. If I clash with him head-on, I can't guarantee that I won't end up with a knife.
I was so angry that I vomited blood and quarreled with the girl, but I won a few games, but talking to Dadong almost made me angry to death.
I decided to ignore him and continued walking.
I don't know how long I walked, but Xiao Rong in front of me suddenly shouted. When I looked up, I saw an adobe wall three or four stories high in front of me...... No way?!
Dadong and I put down the bronze together, and were about to ask what was going on, when we looked up and saw that at the end of the road, a stone door appeared on the adobe wall.
The stone door is bare, there is nothing, there are three steps in front of the door, there is a stone platform under the steps, with a flashlight, I saw that there are three holes on the stone platform.
"Come and help!" Dadong greeted, and I stepped forward and unwrapped the ragged linen cloth with him.
The bronze vessel was fully exposed, and I looked at it, and it was a bronze incense burner in the style of a three-legged tripod.
Dadong asked me to help him lift the incense burner, and then slowly move it to the stone platform. I immediately realized what he was going to do.
We moved quickly, and in three or two strokes, we lifted the incense burner up the stone platform, and the three feet were just aimed at the three holes, and we put it down. Suddenly, I heard a series of stones rubbing against each other, as if some mechanism had been touched. I was startled, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a stone slowly protruding from the adobe beside the stone gate.
Everyone present froze in place.
I was afraid that I had touched something again, and I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the friction sound died down. Cautiously approaching, he saw a pattern carved into the stone, a human head with a long tongue sticking out.
"What do you mean?" I asked Dadong.
"It's an exit, press the stone of this person's face, and the exit will open. Outside the exit is a stretch of road," Dadong said, "but only one person can enter at a time." ”
"Why?" The girl shouted, "You can only go one at a time, who stipulates this?" ”
"Because if two people go in together, one of them will have his head cut off." Dadong said it plainly, but I couldn't believe it.
"How is that possible!" I frowned and shook my head, "Is there infrared heat sensing in this?" Otherwise, how would it know how many people we were going in at once? ”
"I say this, believe it or not." Dadong said, turning to look at Shimen with a thoughtful expression, "I've been to this place, I couldn't know it better." To tell you the truth, I surmise that there are at least nineteen roads in it, and every time we go in, we are led to different paths by this gate. After going out, the exit locations are also different, and some of the exits are far apart. In other words, when we walked through this door, we were completely separated! Everyone...... Ask for more blessings. ”
"What?!"
I screamed, and I said, this can't be done, first of all, the girls are still counting on my blood to go back to the door, if they are separated like this, how will they go back in the future? Secondly, Uncle Meng and I are powerless, and if we encounter a flood beast, wouldn't we die without a place to be buried? Again, the equipment is limited, so many of us only have one compass, and if we get lost, we don't know how to die.
I remembered the experience of being left alone by them on the meadow outside the city, and I still had palpitations, I said that if I want to go, we will go together, this door must not enter!
"Once you're inside, you can shoot flares." Xiao Rong said.
I immediately glared at it, and said to myself, you kid is a traitor! Dare to love your martial arts, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, it doesn't matter where you go, you don't care if we are minions or die?
"Well, there are quite a few flares, and this method works." The girl agreed.
"No, no, I'm so insecure like this. I won't talk about it myself, Uncle Meng's leg is broken, what do you let him do? As I spoke, I looked at the leech man and said, "I think we have to think of some strategy, I think so, I'll carry Uncle Meng inside, it's always okay, right?" And the two of us are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and we can take care of each other, and after we go in, we will find a way to meet, how about it? ”
"On your back?" Dadong snorted coldly, "Do you think that with the back, the two of them are considered one person?" ”
"Why, the back is still not carried by people? Bullying people with disabilities or what? I exclaimed, "I want the five of us to go in on top of the Arhats!" Hey, I don't believe he really has infrared heat, I went in on two legs, how could he tell the difference? ”
"Okay," Dadong continued to stink me, "You look down on the ancients, you are a fool when the ancients are stupid, then you carry Lao Meng away." It has nothing to do with us if either of you has a head off, and don't blame me for not warning you both. ”
"Little Master......"
The man looked at me and wanted to say something, but it was hard to speak. I was thinking about what to do, when Xiao Rong jumped up the stone steps first, and pressed the raised stone without thinking. I saw the heavy stone gate open, and the dark corridor appeared behind the stone gate.
"I'll go in first." Xiao Rong said, looking at me, "Brother Yang, wait in place after you go out, I will find a way to find you." With that, he got up and walked into the corridor, and before he had taken two steps, his figure was swallowed up by darkness.
The stone door closed automatically, and I looked at the door and was stunned for a long time.
"Yes, I'm leaving."
Dadong said, stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, then walked over to the man, pulled out his Miao knife, and handed the scabbard to the other party.
"With this, you can use it as a crutch." Dadong said, "Don't die! ”
The man took the scabbard, nodded, and opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything. I looked at him and thought to myself that I must be looking like him at this moment. The overall situation has been decided, both horizontal and vertical are dead, rather than dwelling here, it is better to make a decision early.
The girl gave me the flare gun and gave me some equipment.
Tidying up, I sighed and said, "I'm leaving." ”
"Well," the girl looked at me Zhile, I didn't know what she was happy about, she said, "Don't worry, you can't die, the 'Rong family' is right, don't jump around if you're fine, just wait honestly when you go out, this palace will ensure that you're okay." ”
I grass, my heart said, you also left a note last time saying that the surroundings are safe, and the result?
Get! I'm too lazy to talk to her, and it's not like my style.
"Be careful, too." I looked at her, turned and walked towards the stone door.
