Chapter 16: The Enemy Is Dark and I am Clear
Several people searched for a long time on the six arches, but there was not a trace of clues, the door was the same, the road was the same, there was no difference. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fat man gloated and said, "I don't think it was written in your book this time." β
I turned around and looked at everyone, all looking at me, I sighed in my heart, I didn't think about this kind of thing, the fat man's crow's mouth was indeed not wrong, and the book did not record the current situation.
I said to the villager of Yamashita a little helplessly: "Mr. Muraman, you have enough walkie-talkies here for everyone, but I don't know if the rope is long enough." β
The villager thought for a moment and whispered a few words to the white-haired old man beside him, who took out the rope from each bag and threw it on the ground.
I picked one up and tried it in my hand, the rope was very thin, and it was placed on the ground in several bundles, each two or three hundred meters long. I grabbed both ends of the rope and tried it secretly, and it was very strong. It is estimated that it is the product of some kind of advanced American technology.
When the villager saw me holding the rope in my hand and looking at it over and over again, he thought that I was not worried about the quality: "Mr. Zou, you can rest assured that the strength of this rope is not a problem even if it lifts all of us here." β
The fat man took the rope in my hand with an incredible face and pulled it vigorously, but there was no change at all, and he was surprised. He asked me again what the rope was for.
I didn't expect that this Japanese villager would bring such a high-end thing here, which seems to be worth a lot of money, and it also shows that he is determined to get it this time.
No matter what he plans to do, if he kills Old Man Sun against his men, I will do everything I can to keep him here permanently. But I can't let the fat man know my plans for the time being, or his impatient nature will be bad sooner or later.
I took the rope and said to the villager, "Mr. Villager, you must have seen all these doorways, almost all of them are the same, there is no difference, even if I know the art of feng shui, it is difficult to see any clues on a blank piece of paper." β
As I spoke, I stole a glance at Yamashita Villager's expression, and he frowned deeply and showed a hint of displeasure. I had already guessed that he would not believe it, so I continued: "These six doors must be dead and alive, and it must be nine deaths to enter rashly, but fortunately, there are many of us, and everyone walks through different doors with a rope tied around their waists, and if there is danger, pull the rope, and the people outside will pull him out." β
After listening to what I said, the deep frown of the Yamashita villager eased slightly, and it was only for a moment, and the brows furrowed again, this time it was my turn to be puzzled, and the Yamashita villager asked: "Then Mr. Zou thinks who is waiting here?" β
This old thing, who is actually worried that I am harming him here, will inevitably think too clumsy about me, I smiled and said, "It's simple, you wait here, let's go in and explore the way." β
The villager shook his head again and again: "No, no, I have to follow in, or choose someone else." β
I looked around and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Villager, I really can't find a more suitable person here besides you, or you should choose yourself." β
After thinking for a while, the villager said, "There is only one woman here, just let Miss Lan wait here, let's all go in, what does Mr. Zou think?" β
I looked at Miss Lan that the village man under the mountain was referring to, the woman who was stripped of her clothes by me at Old Man Sun's house before, I had the heart to object, but I really couldn't find a good reason to refuse, so I had to nod and agree.
Except for this woman surnamed Lan, the rest of the people were divided into six groups, and they entered different arches, and as soon as they stepped into one foot, the villager stopped me: "Mr. Zou, you are all battle-hardened warriors, and you must have more experience in ancient tombs than me, I hope you can send a friend with me, I can use my bodyguard to exchange with you, his skills are very good, and he will definitely be able to help you." β
I secretly cursed the old fox in my heart, this is afraid that I have chosen a way to live, and he is taking a dead road, pulling a companion of mine, or at least a backrest, his bodyguard is not so much here to help, but to spy on me. This looks at things, with sinister intentions, but can always say so beautifully.
In desperation, I had to let the fat man go with him, in the words of the poison-eyed dragon himself, he was a powerless literati, let him follow the Japanese villagers, that is called nine deaths, and then rely on them to have more guns and threaten and intimidate us. Isn't that poison-eyed dragon very wronged, I am very confident in the fat man's skills, no matter how powerful this villager is, the fat man still has the ability to escape.
Coming, I made a look at the fat man, after many years of tacit understanding, the fat man immediately understood what I meant, laughed secretly, and walked towards the village man under the mountain. I hope he didn't misinterpret me.
He said to the fat man to be careful, turned around and walked in with the Poison-Eyed Dragon and the bodyguards of the villager under the mountain, and the rest of the people followed into the arch in front of them.
Holding the rope in the hand, walking in the dark all the way, although the rope is long, it is only a hundred meters to everyone's hands, and it doesn't take much effort to reach the end, and there is still a black rumbling in front of us, and there is nothing.
I asked this Japanese bodyguard to wait for us in the same place, although it was very difficult to communicate, but fortunately, there was a poison-eyed dragon by his side, and after some pointing, he roughly understood what we meant.
I continued to walk deeper with the poison-eyed dragon, although our side was calm and did not encounter any danger, it seemed that this path was not wrong, and fortunately at the same time, I began to worry about the fat man.
It was just the two of us, and I asked him again how he had come across them, and what had been the loud noise before. The poison-eyed dragon said that they had encountered the big snake and the giant baby fish at the mouth of the cave, and when they saw that the child fish was about to be swallowed by the big snake, their appearance actually made the big snake loosen its mouth, and the snake and the fish turned the finger at them.
It is also said that this Japanese villager is well-equipped enough, and even brought a flamethrower, which is so hot that these two guys were unexpected, and they were burned to charcoal in an instant.
The rope between me and the fat man fell to the bottom, and they naturally chose the bottom of the two holes, and they came to the end without walking a few steps, watching the rain on the ground continue to flow in, and the Japanese villager let the white-haired old man blow up the stone gate with explosives. That's where we had the loud noise we had before. Everything that followed began to flow in the way we had traveled.
The two of them walked a short distance away, and suddenly a figure appeared, which startled me, and the poison-eyed dragon hid behind me and shivered. I wondered, could it be that someone else had been here before us? Why is there no trace left?
I was about to tiptoe forward to take a look, when the poison-eyed dragon pulled me and whispered: "Master Zou, let's go back, if we get on the road, no one will save us." β
I made a quiet gesture to the poison-eyed dragon: "Brother Si, you are also a member of our industry, you have to earn a face for Master Zu." β
In the face of my cynicism, the poison-eyed dragon smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zou, I won't tell you, I have poured a lot of dark weapons in this tomb, but I have never entered the cemetery, this is the first time in my life, I am not afraid that it is bluffing others, I dare not be a good man in front of you..."
As the Poison-Eyed Dragon spoke, I suddenly covered his mouth with my hands, winked at him, and motioned for him to boo.
The poison-eyed dragon stared at a pair of frightened eyes, his head kept pointing, I slowly let go of my hand, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak at this time, his upper and lower teeth trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Hiding behind me and whispering, "Zou, Zou Ye, what the hell is it." β
I said, "Brother Si, why don't you come and take a look, I really can't see what this thing is." β
As soon as the poison-eyed dragon heard that I wanted him to stand in front, he clung to my clothes, and his head shook like a rattle, and he didn't dare to come forward to take a look.
I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, grabbed his shoulders and pressed his hands up, his feet left the ground, he screamed, his legs fell to the ground as soon as he was weak, he couldn't stop shaking, and his mouth almost begged all the gods he knew, not to mention how funny it was.
I leaned over and whispered to him, "Brother Si, it's a stone statue, what do you worship him, I just can't tell what it is, let you see it." β
I guess I was frightened, and I reluctantly opened my eyes and saw the stone figure in front of me clearly, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
I smiled and said, "Brother Si, I didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts." β
The poison-eyed dragon took a long breath: "You are laughing, Zou Ye, not everyone is like you, not afraid of heaven and earth, I am a dealer who resells antiques, and it is a joke to be afraid of ghosts." It's just that when I was a child, I didn't hear my father talk about the inverted fight, and when I really got here, I was afraid of touching the zongzi, which was not easy to deal with. β
I smiled and didn't speak, after all, we are in the tomb now, and I don't really attract zongzi, otherwise even if we don't die, we will have to lose our skin.
The poison-eyed dragon looked in front of the stone statue, touched it, and was about to take off the gas mask, but I quickly stopped him. It doesn't matter if you can't see it, it's not worth losing your life. The bird I was carrying when I came in was taken by the woman surnamed Blue, and no matter what I said, they just wouldn't give it back to me.
The poison-eyed dragon also knew the power of this, and there was no too much entanglement, so he smacked his mouth for a long time: "Master Zou, if you want to say that you are lucky, this is a tomb of four or five thousand years." Although I don't know what kind of tomb this is, based on this stone carving, I dare to conclude that this cemetery is still a prince or something, at least a prince. And he's a great general. β
I wondered: "General? Don't tell me you're seeing it from this portrait. β
The poison-eyed dragon smiled: "I can't hide anything from you, you're right, this portrait can only see two or three points, plus the things in front, it can be eight or nine before." β
On the left and right sides of the passage in front of the boulder gate are warriors wearing armor, and there is a strong atmosphere of generals everywhere, plus the half of the tiger talisman that Old Man Sun gave us before he died, all of which show that there is a military general buried here, and he can enjoy such a high-standard burial system, I have to say that this person is by no means simple.
I asked him why he couldn't be a king, but a general.
The poison-eyed dragon said: "I guess you didn't understand the words engraved on the gate, 'Under the gate, trespassers, be the three generations of guardians', isn't what the gate says is the identity of the owner of the tomb." According to my estimate, this should be a group burial tomb, a general who has been a general for several generations. β
Suddenly thinking of the tiger talisman, he asked him: "Brother Si, is that tiger talisman still in your hand?" What is the matter with the three generations of the guardian and what the old man Sun said before, the generational guardian? β
The Poison-Eyed Dragon shook his head and said, "Don't worry, that half of the Tiger Talisman is still on me, and they didn't search me in a hurry, just wondering how they found me." Well... Then there are the three generations of the guardian and the generational guard, I don't know what is going on now, maybe it will tell us. β
I pulled the poison-eyed dragon around the stone carved statue and continued to walk, anyway, I have been asked to guard the spirit for three generations, and it is not much different from the generation of guards, all based on his empty words.
The long and narrow passage, and walked a long time, estimating the footsteps, before and after we should at least have crossed the distance between the two mountains, Baishan County is a big mountainous area, the word Baishan is also named after this, if it is normal, it takes more than half a day to cross a mountain, now we are really in the belly of the mountain, some are almost straight lines, compared to much faster.
By this time we were both a little thirsty, and we couldn't help but curse the damned Japanese villager, if we hadn't taken the bird away from us, we would have stopped and drunk some water, smoked a cigarette, and rested. At the moment, we can only look at the kettle in our hands, we dare not open it to drink, let alone stop to rest, once we stop, I am afraid that neither of us can stand the dry mouth.
Suddenly my feet loosened, the stone bricks on the ground sank, I was stunned for a moment, and was about to turn back to stop the poison-eyed dragon from continuing forward, but who knew that it was still a step too late, the poison-eyed dragon and I collided with each other, my feet were unstable, I took a few steps back, both of them fell on the stone bricks, and the stone bricks sank down again.
The Poison-Eyed Dragon was about to retreat back when I grabbed him, "Don't move, watch out for the mechanism." β
As we spoke, the stone bricks on the ground sank down again because of the movements of the two of us. The poison-eyed dragon looked extremely calm this time: "It's okay, Master Zou, you have ideas, I will cooperate." β
I couldn't help but take a second look at the Poison-Eyed Dragon, it seems that this old boy is still a little bold, if he has my experience, he will never be worse than me. It's just that his father really hurts him a lot, so it's okay to keep scaring children with zongzi. Looking at the shadow of his childhood, he can't erase it now.
I looked at the stone bricks on the ground, they were two meters long and wide, and the place where they had sunk was exactly a square, and now the degree of sunken was only ten centimeters. But as our movements stopped, so did the speed of the sag.
Holding a flashlight to shine in all directions, it was pitch black all around, and there was no head in sight from front to back, and it was only two or three meters high from the ground to the top, but now it seemed to be shorter.
The poison-eyed dragon is worthy of everyone in the antique shop, the eyes are poisonous, and he saw the problem at a glance, pointed to the top of his head and said to me: "Hey, Zou Ye, do you see if there is a stone protruding from the top." β
Following his fingers, I looked up, and there was a stone protruding from the top, the size of a stone brick sunken under our feet, and it was so dark that it would not have been noticed without a flashlight.
The poison-eyed dragon looked at it for a while and laughed and said that if we had held a torch, we probably wouldn't have seen it.
It seems that the ancestors in front of four or five thousand did not calculate that we would have flashlights. This is thanks to the old American man who invented the flashlight.
Fortunately, the Poison-Eyed Dragon's words poured a basin of cold water on my head: "Master Zou, don't be too happy, we don't know how much this thing has to do with us getting out of the trap." β
I looked at the few things I had in my handβa walkie-talkie, two solid fuels, glow sticks, a flashlight, an automatic rifle, a bronze sword, two sapper shovels, and a water bottleβand my head suddenly grew bigger.
I thought about it for a while, took the walkie-talkie and debugged it, and tried to call other people, but after turning all the backup channels, there was always a murmur, and we had no choice but to give up the plan to ask for outside help.
Looking at the boulder above his head, the poison-eyed dragon muttered to himself, "Why didn't he fall down such a big stone?" What kind of mechanism does this have to be, so advanced. β
I looked at it for a long time, stood up, and jumped lightly on the stone bricks twice, staring at the stones above my head, and as my feet fell, the stones on top also fell.
The poison-eyed dragon waved his hand again and again to stop me: "Zou Ye, Zou Ye, don't jump, these two things are together, if we jump, we will be trapped here." β
The poison-eyed dragon is right, the reason why I jumped like this is to further confirm my conjecture, although it has been confirmed now, but I still can't figure out if this thing is too chicken to be installed here, the whole floor tile is only two meters wide, and it only takes a second or two to walk through normally.
At the speed at which he sank, let alone two people, even a company could pass safely.
The Poison-Eyed Dragon said that it was because of time, maybe this mechanism was in front of four or five thousand, as long as someone stepped in, it would immediately be buried by the falling stones, and today, four or five thousand years later, the mechanism will also age over time, so it will lose its effect.
We tried to step on the flat ground, stood still for a long time, and made sure there were no accidents, and then turned away. Before leaving, I glanced at the boulder on top again, and on the side of the boulder was showing out, and a strange smiling face was smiling at us.
I asked the Poison-Eyed Dragon why the stone figures inside and outside the cave were laughing, and what these smiles represented.
The Poison-Eyed Dragon said, "Who said it was laughing, in my opinion, it was a person at all, and all the portraits were depicting the same person." β
This makes me very puzzled, to say that like Qin Shi Huang, he was buried with thousands of troops and horses, so as to ensure that he went to another world and still had a large army to open the way for him to conquer another world. But what is the purpose of this portrayal of tens of thousands of themselves, is it possible that you want to command thousands of yourself to fight?
Listening to my nonsense, the poison-eyed dragon hurriedly stopped me: "Yes, yes, Zou Ye, you better stop, according to your guess, it is estimated that the owner of the tomb has already broken through the Yama Palace at this time, and the underworld is king." Let's take a look at it again, maybe there will be more clues. β
Walked a long distance along the way, and also encountered a lot of traps, because we were athletic, I have been solved one by one, objectively speaking, we are lucky, all the mechanisms have almost become very sluggish, and the fall and rise seem not so crisp, the poison-eyed dragon attributed this to thousands of years of unattended results.
Since it is an aging trap, there is naturally nothing to worry about, as long as they don't encounter monsters like wire mesh insects again, they shouldn't have any big problems with fat people.
I can't remember how many traps I've walked through. The road in front of me suddenly became wider, in the shape of a trumpet, and at the end was a small room, and in the room was a door.
The small room was empty, facing us with a total of five doors, the same as the previous one, and it was impossible to distinguish which door could be walked through and which door could not be walked.
I said to the Poison-Eyed Dragon, "It seems that we have come to the end, and the previous method is no longer applicable here, so we can only go back and see what they have encountered before making plans." β
The poison-eyed dragon nodded with some regret.
The two of them were dry, did not stop at all, turned around and walked back on the way back. I thought that I would have to go back with a familiar car, and there would be no big problem, but I never wanted to go all the way back, and the more I walked, the more frightened I became.
All the traps we've encountered in the past are gone, and I wonder if I'm on the wrong track. Fortunately, I saw the stone statue from afar, so I was a little relieved.
After bypassing the stone statue, I looked back, and the stone statue's original grinning face became extremely hideous, I thought I had seen it wrong, and I shook my head vigorously, and I was indeed not mistaken. I was so scared that a cold sweat broke out in my head.
I didn't tell the poison-eyed dragon, otherwise he would think it was a zongzi, and if his legs were weak, I would have to carry it on my back, and some of the gains outweighed the losses.
It didn't take long for us to find the string on the ground, and there was a section in front of and behind us, and I wondered in my heart, why didn't I just run into the Japanese villager's bodyguard, did he go first?
Picking up the rope and looking at it in his hand, it was a little wet, this passage was paved with large stones everywhere, and it was relatively dry, so there should be no water.
The poison-eyed dragon took a flashlight and shone it into my hand, and we both froze. Where was the wet water, it was clearly bright red blood, and the whole rope was stained red.
The poison-eyed dragon nervously raised his flashlight and looked around: "Master Zou, how long does it take for this zongzi to eat one person?" Can we still get out? β
My heart also began to drum, there was blood flowing everywhere on the ground, but the rope was not withdrawn, which means that the Japanese bodyguards didn't have time to react when they were attacked, and they were directly knocked down.
The corpse didn't know where it was being dragged to, and it would be self-deception to say that it wasn't frightened. The enemy is dark and I obviously need bait to lure out the secret enemy, but this only Japanese bait has already been eaten by the fish. (To be continued.) )
