Finale (Part II) Chapter 5 The head is cut off
I can't bear to go into the rest of the process. I only know that the blood that flowed from Mrs. Huo's wound was black. We got a couple of backpacks and packed everything we needed to take with us into one of them. In the little brother's backpack, we found two strange rings, and at a glance, we knew that they were the initiators of the two seals we had just seen in the coffin. This thing is in my brother's backpack, so it must be very important, so we stuffed it all into the bag.
The stuffy oil bottle still hasn't woken up. I carried him on my back and tied him to my body. My brother's weight is actually moderate, and his body has a lot of muscle, so although his body looks very thin and well-proportioned, his actual weight is much heavier than the last time I helped him.
The fat man carried everything else and Mrs. Huo's head on his back. Our plan is to go back the way we came. Before leaving, we sent all the people who still had breath back to the chamber. Knowing they wouldn't be able to wait until the next time we came in, we left some water and food: if they survived, like the ghost, there was a glimmer of hope.
Seriously, it's hard to make that choice, and it's hard for me to feel bad. But I told myself – I'm just an ordinary person, there's only so much I can do.
I went down from the hole that was burned out and came to the level I had walked on before.
I asked the fat man if he wanted to go any further. The fat man said: "Dog's day, our purpose is to come in and save the little brother, and now the little brother has been rescued, why don't you slip away?" Even if there are countless big Russian girls dancing pole dancing on it, I will definitely not go up! ”
There are many floors above the Zhangjiagu Building, and there should be all kinds of strange situations on each floor: but at this time, I also rarely have a sense of fear that suppresses all my curiosity.
We cautiously walked all the way back, and soon we reached the ground floor.
I was already sweating profusely, and my feet were shaking unconsciously. Usually this kind of rough work is done by fat people. Now I feel like I'm almost going to die, I didn't expect to be so tired from carrying a person on my back.
The fat man is also tired enough to carry other things. He stopped to light his cigarette and said, "Wait a minute." We can't go back the way we came, that thing must be waiting for us there, even if it doesn't wait for us. That layer of quicksand is hard to walk into. With so many strange bugs, we're going to be out of luck. We need to find a way for the little brother to come in! ”
The bronze door was closed, little brother, they must not have come in the way we came.
I said in my heart, how to find it, this guy is now in a deep coma!
The fat man suddenly said, "Look at the ground! ”
I looked down and saw that the floor was full of messy footprints. I cast a bewildered look at him. He said, "You're with me." I think you're slowly getting dumber, you look at the door here. ”
I looked at what the fat man said, and realized what he was talking about. When I came in at the door, there were only two clear footprints. At first glance, you can tell that it is me and his.
"Little brother, they don't seem to have come in through the door." The fat man said, "You see, the footprints here are very messy, and now we can find out where they came in according to the pattern of the soles of the little brother's shoes." ”
I looked down at the countless footprints under our feet and understood that the fat man's method worked.
We followed his method backwards and soon came to the middle of several pillars. We found that the footprints of the stuffy oil bottle actually came from a pillar.
"Could it be the pillar man who came out of the pillar?" I rubbed my chin in confusion. The fat man pressed his face up at once, and looked closely at the details of the pillar.
on this pillar. It is carved with Pixiu style patterns, which is really quite rare in ancient tombs. I'm pretty sure it's Pixiu—but on these Pixiu, I found some unicorn scales. I think it might be a new hybrid beast. Either the style is wrong, but the carving is so serious that it feels unlikely.
The fat man touched the buttocks of those Pixiu, and suddenly let go, turned to the other pillar and touched it. Touched back and forth dozens of times. He said to me, "The temperature is different!" The material of the two pillars is different, and this one seems to be wrapped in some kind of metal, but it is deliberately made of exactly the same lacquer work as the other one. ”
"So, there's a mechanism in there?" I said.
"Needless to say, the little brother's footprints came from here. There must be a mechanism here. This place may be the official secret passage in and out of this ancient building. The fat man said, "You let me press it better." There is one of them. There must be something strange: "Speaking of the fat man, he has to take off his coat and study it carefully."
I hurriedly stopped: "As soon as the dust here gets sweaty, your whole body will itch." It tasted worse than death. And as soon as you scratch it, a piece of skin will follow, and you will touch the butts of these Pixiu, and you may not touch any mechanism. "When the fat man heard me say this, he could only wrap himself in clothes. But he didn't care about the mechanism, tiptoed up, and said: "There are no particularly deadly mechanisms all the way, I don't think you have to worry about this, just be careful, fat man, I am also very experienced." ”
Saying that, the fat man studied the details on the Pixiu one by one, and it was so careful that it was a little obscene, but no matter how he studied it, he felt that these Pixiu were dead and could not be pressed.
Just as we were wondering, the bottle of stuffy oil on my back suddenly moved: I saw his hand reach out.
I looked back at him. He was extremely weak, his eyes were still closed, and he didn't know if he was fully awake.
The fat man also looked back at him and asked softly, "Little brother, do you want to do it?" ”
"I'll come." The stuffy oil bottle on his back whispered.
I understood what he meant, and I took a few steps forward. His unusually long fingers pressed against the cold pillar, and then he slid his fingers lightly over all the patterns.
I carried him on my back and quietly walked around the pillar again and again. No sound dared to come out. When we reached the twentieth circle, we heard the stuffy oil bottle say, "The thirteenth in the first row, the sixth in the second row, and the seventh in the third row." Gently tap each one. Remember the order"
After saying that, his hand immediately drooped.
The fat man immediately complied. After finishing it, I suddenly saw that the pillars began to rotate slowly. Turning around, a gap appeared in the middle of the pillar, which could only be passed sideways by one person. Inside the gap is a passage, all the way down, straight to the ground.
On the inner wall of this pillar, there are climbing footpegs.
"There is a brother in the family, if there is a treasure!" The fat man said.
The two of us put down the equipment in our hands, and I passed the little brother to the fat man first, went down sideways and carefully, and then caught the little brother. When we went down to the bottom and took a lighter, we couldn't help but be surprised - we saw a room made of stones, and looking at the surrounding situation, this should be an underground palace.
"Is this also part of the Zhangjia Ancient Building?" The fat man asked. I nodded, according to the previous practice, in the underground palace of this ancient building, it should be the tomb of the ancestors of the Zhang family. I'm afraid that the people buried in this place are all old-timers who are quite old-timers.
"What should I do?"
"The little brother came out of here, obviously the import and export is here! Little brother. You're a good guy to do it to the end, and then GPS. The fat man said to the stuffy bottle.
The bottle of stuffy oil didn't respond to my back, and it looked like he was asleep again. The fat man could only shake his head when he looked at it, and said to me, "There is no electricity." ”
"Let's go, let's be careful. Since the way out is here, we can always find it. I said, "When we meet mountains and open roads, we build bridges when we meet water, and we take one step at a time." I'll put my little brother down, let's take a look around first. ”
There is no dust here, and you can rest well: I saw that the fat man was also panting quite hard, so I asked him to put everything down first.
I've really never been so tired. The little brother got off my shoulder, and I immediately felt dizzy. I rubbed my shoulders and followed the fat man around.
When we looked around, we realized that the only way out ahead was a stone gate. The stone door is closed, but traces of it being opened in recent times can be seen underneath the door. (To be continued)
