"Guangyuan Foreign Palace Chapter 8 Fork in the Road"
The height of the road ahead was indeed higher, and it was easier for a few of us to walk.

It is also possible that the fat man could not carry me, and then he stopped and rested for a while, and I touched the right side of my face, and found that it was still that dizzy feeling, probably because the venom on the sharp arrow had not completely subsided.
At this time, the little brother looked at the passage in front of him, and then said I went to the front to see and left, and the fat man and I didn't stop it, after all, the little brother's ability is obvious to all, and if something really happens, he can handle it himself.
After the little brother left, there were only two of us left in the entire passage. The fat man came to my side and asked, "Wei Qi, how did you get the little brother here?" ”
I touched my face and said, "It's nothing, at the beginning, the little brother said that he couldn't come because of something, but then I told him about the expedition, and he agreed to come at that time." ”
"Something about the expedition?"
The fat man muttered in a low voice, and then immediately asked me, "Does the little brother know about the disappearance of this expedition?" I hesitated for a moment and nodded, and then said: "Who didn't know about this expedition thirty years ago, and now the state has specially organized an investigation team, so my little brother should also know about it." ”
Seeing the fat man squatting there alone and not talking to me, I continued to ask, "Fat man, what are you thinking about there alone?" ”
The fat man looked at the direction where the little brother left just now, and then lowered his voice and said to me: "I always think that the little brother is a little weird, since the last time I went to the ancient tomb, I feel a little abnormal, he knows the mechanism in this tomb, and this ability is about to catch up with Lao Tzu's grandfather." ”
After listening to this, I was also a little puzzled and said, "Isn't it that people know a little more, and it's not that what you said is abnormal?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "It's because he knows too much that I think he's a little abnormal." You think that everything he did for so long was orderly, and this grandma's even prediction was too accurate, right? ”
When the fat man said this, I also think he has some truth, but now I still have a very good impression of the little brother, if I really say that he is a bad person, I really don't believe it.
When I was thinking about this, the little brother also came back from the front, and the fat man and I quickly dropped the topic, after all, this matter is about the little brother, and he can't let him hear it.
The little brother looked at us and didn't say anything, but pointed to the passage in front of him and said, "There are two forks in the road, let's take a look first." ”
When the fat man heard this, he was also a little surprised and said, "Fork in the road? I asked the fat man why he was so surprised, and the fat man said: "Since ancient times, if the tomb has branched out, it must have passed through the tomb first, but we have not found the tomb until now, and it has always been in the passage, and at this time there is a fork in the front, which is really a bit too strange." ”
But even if we are here to speculate, it is not interesting, after all, this is the first time we have come to this tomb. After the fat man picked me up, he followed the little brother behind, the length of this tomb road is indeed not short, but I also admire the speed of the little brother, the distance between us and the fork in the road is at least a few hundred meters, but the little brother only walked back and forth in a few minutes, I really don't know how fast his speed is.
The passages on both sides of the fork in the road are exactly the same, so at first glance it is not clear which way to go. I glanced at my brother, but at this time he was also a little confused, as if he didn't know which way was true.
This fork in the road seems to lead to two completely opposite directions, and the fat man did not dare to draw conclusions easily, this ancient tomb is very exquisite, not only with deadly mechanisms, but also with a labyrinth that can trap people to death, which I experienced when I first went to the tomb.
In the middle of these two forks of the road is a stone tablet full of inscriptions. I looked at it with my flashlight, but I found that I couldn't read the words. This makes me feel a little strange, because when I was in college, I also studied a lot of ancient characters because of my major, and although I am not proficient, it cannot be said that I can't understand a word.
The fat man also found the stone tablet, and then asked me, "Wei Qi, what is written on it?" I shook my head, indicating that I couldn't read it. I looked at the little brother and asked him if he knew what was written on it, and the little brother shook his head after looking at it, indicating that he didn't know either.
Since the inscription on the stele is incomprehensible, and there is no explanation of the fork in the road, the fat man fortunately did not look at the stele and looked at the two forks in front of him in a blink of an eye.
The fat man looked at the fork in the road, and then walked to the fork in the road on the right and looked. Suddenly, he stopped moving, and then crouched down the passage on the right-hand side and looked at it, as if he had found something. I hurriedly walked over, and the fat man pointed his flashlight at the entrance of the passage and said, "There seem to be footprints here." ”
Not only me, but even the little brother walked over after hearing it, this footprint is not a person's, because it looks very messy, so it looks like a bunch of people walking over. The fat man looked at the footprints carefully and said, "These footprints look like they were just left, and there are quite a few of them. ”
When I heard this, I was also a little puzzled, and then I remembered the marks I had seen on the wall above, and said, "Could it be the person just now?" ”
The fat man nodded and said, "It should be them, but it looks like they're already in front of us." ”
I looked at the footprints and hurried to see if there were any clues in the other passage, the left passage was very clean on the ground, and there was no trace at all. I said to the two of them, "There is no trace of this passage, the one on the right hand should be real, right?" ”
The fat man nodded vigorously, and turned to enter the graveyard. At this time, the little brother suddenly said: "You two go to that one, and I'll go to the left one." ”
I saw that the little brother wanted to separate from us, and I couldn't guess what he wanted to do at the time, so I immediately asked, "Little brother, this passage has already been crossed by someone, is there any problem?" ”
The little brother shook his head, and then he took a flashlight and took a picture of the passage on the left and said, "It's nothing, although someone has passed by there, but I can't be sure now." ”
Seeing that the little brother has made up his mind to go through that passage, the fat man and I have not stopped it, the little brother has always been calm, and now if he does this, he probably has his own ideas.
The little brother threw me a hairball and said, "Tie this to yourself, if this passage is fake, I will go back to you." With that, he walked into the left-hand passage without looking back.
