Chapter 14 The Fourth Camel

According to Camel Laosi, he was originally a miner at the Dushan Xiqiao Mine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and why did he fall into a coma in this place? He said that a few days ago, he had occasionally found a grave hidden under the mine and had evil thoughts, so he and several other miners went down to find gold. As a result, there was an accident, and everyone else fled for their lives, and he fled here in a panic.

He said it very simply, but I heard a lot of loopholes. It was obvious that he was lying, not to mention how he got here as a miner through the dungeon above, and I could roughly guess what he was doing just by looking at the thick coffin cocoon on his hand. However, in his current situation, he must be wary of anyone, and he will not easily spit out his heart.

I saw that he looked quite pitiful, so I was embarrassed to ask him anything more. Seeing that he kept staring at the cowhide bag in my hand, I understood what was going on. He stared at it, and I was embarrassed to use it for myself, so I simply returned it in its original form.

The fourth camel general looked at me suspiciously and took the cowhide bag. I thought he would remain silent, but he asked.

"How could a few people who seem to be decent people come to a place like this? I don't think a few people are on the road, what? How many people are also interested in the unsightly act of touching the corpse upside down? ”

Cassia smiled and said, "What you said, several of us have already arrived here, could it be that we are still here for sightseeing?" The big guys are all understanding people, so why bother to say it? Don't look at us as newcomers, we all know the rules. ”

When the camel heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Master asked him what he was going to do next.

He shook his head and said, "Calculate the time, I've been in long enough, and now I don't know what the situation is outside." As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "When you came in, did you see anyone?" With a gold talisman, about twenty years old. ”

I thought about it, but I was completely unimpressed, so I shook my head.

As soon as the camel saw me shaking his head, he lowered his head and sat on the ground decadently, staring at the ground with his eyes lost.

"Retribution, it's all retribution."

I didn't understand what he meant, and I didn't know how to comfort him, so I asked him if he had ever seen two people pass over the stone bridge. The camel elder shook his head and said that no one had been here except him before he fell unconscious. As for what happened after the coma, he had no memory.

Time is of the essence, and we do not intend to stay here any longer. Master said to him, "Since you have woken up, we still have urgent matters to deal with, so we will take our leave."

When the camel came back to his senses and saw that we were going to cross the bridge, he said, "You want to go in?" It's a labyrinth, and living people can't get out as long as they get in. ”

As soon as Cassia heard this, he knew that there was a way, and hurriedly asked him, "How do you know?" Have you ever been there? ”

The camel Lao Si smiled bitterly: "How many people think, why did I end up like this?" When I went in, I was trapped in the maze for two whole days. If it weren't for the fact that I figured out the direction of the veins here, I'm afraid I would have to be trapped in it for the rest of my life. ”

"Direction of the veins?"

The fourth camel nodded: "According to my observation here, that labyrinth is actually a huge ancient mining system. The trend of the jade veins here in Dushan is very special, although it seems difficult to figure out on the surface, but careful observation can still figure out a little sign. And, empirically, it is likely that there is more than one burial chamber hidden under this mountain. ”

"Oh?" Cassia became interested and asked, "What do you say?" Is there another tomb down here? ”

The fourth camel nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I won't hide it from you." After decades of fighting, I can still see this way. Judging from past experience, this should be the 'mandarin duck mound'. In the dungeon above the head is buried the woman, and there must be another dungeon under the labyrinth, and the real treasures are actually in it. ”

The burial custom of "Mandarin Duck Mound" is actually closely related to the tomb system of the royal family of the Han Dynasty. In the royal family of the Han Dynasty, even husband and wife could not be buried in the same tomb. What impressed me the most was the "Mandarin Duck Mound" of King Liang Xiao and Queen Li of the Han Dynasty, the tombs of the two were separated by mountains, and King Xiao of Liang was suffering from missing, so he ordered the craftsman to dig a Huangquan Road from the back room that was connected with his wife's tomb.

Since there is a precedent, it is very likely that the owner of the tomb buried in Dushan learned from the experience of the tomb of King Liang Xiao and secretly dug a "Huangquan Road" in Dushan. However, the difference is that due to the restrictions of the Dushan jade vein, there is a layer of hollowed-out jade veins between the two tombs, and the tomb owner happened to use this complex ancient mine road to make a labyrinth to block people with bad intentions towards his dormitory.

At this point, I suddenly remembered that the guards had mentioned "entrance" before. In this way, the master and the guards may have known that there is a chain tomb underneath, and the underground palace above should only pass by, but the real purpose is another underground palace hidden under the labyrinth.

"You are the lifesavers of Husi. A few people listen to my advice, turn back early, the following situation is definitely not something that a few laymen can handle. There are enough lonely ghosts here, look at what happened to me, this place is not for everyone. ”

Cassia said that we are also entrusted by others, and we are not greedy for treasures in the underground palace. Besides, before that, our people had already gone in. If it's the way you say, then we're going to have to get in.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade us, he sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I have nothing to say." However, the labyrinth below, you will definitely not be able to get out of it for a few days. It's definitely more complicated than you think. ”

Cassia and I looked at each other and asked Master softly, "What should I do?" ”

The master didn't speak, his face and forehead were wrinkled, and he didn't seem to dare to make a decision easily. But before the master could speak, the fourth camel said, "If you are really in a hurry to go in and find someone, I can take you in." ”

"Seriously?" I was surprised that the fourth camel would offer to take us into the maze. If that's the case, that's great.

Cassia suddenly asked the fourth child at this time: "Fourth, if our people are also trapped in the labyrinth, what should we do?" ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart said yes, the guard may be the first time to encounter this kind of maze, no matter how powerful he is, he is not familiar with life now, and it will definitely take a while to get out of it. And if we follow the camel Lao Si out of the labyrinth smoothly, we will definitely not be able to find him.

Standing at the head of the bridge, the fourth camel stared at the hole in front of him and said, "That's better." If you get lost, you must be stuck in that place. ”

Time was pressing, we didn't dare to linger any longer, and hurriedly let the camel take the lead into the maze. The fourth child did not shirk and took the lead in drilling into a hole directly opposite the bridge. Several people lit torches, and Cassia walked at the end of the line. The situation in the labyrinth is really as the camel Lao Si said, the traces left by the mining of jade can still be vaguely distinguished on the rock wall, and the more you go inside, the more complex the distribution of the jade veins, there are forks everywhere, and the most terrible thing is that some forks are crowded like a crack, and we must stick to the rock wall horizontally to squeeze in.

Camel Lao Si said that most of the mines here were left a long time ago, and there are quite a long time. There was more than one way out, but because it was so old, part of the mine collapsed in disrepair. The route we are taking now was only explored by him a few days ago.

However, Cassia couldn't stand this kind of narrow place the most, and he scolded while squeezing: "I don't understand, could it be that those miners were thin monkeys back then?" Where the fart is bigger, it's hard to turn around, how did they mine here? ”

The fourth camel already had a hunchback, but now he is squeezed in this rock crevice, which is even more uncomfortable. He took a breath, and then said in cassia: "What this little brother said is reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that life really can't go on, I wouldn't do this kind of business." ”

The master was also a little overwhelmed, so he slowed down and asked how long would this route have to go?

The fourth camel recalled a little, looked around, and said, "When I came out before, I marked each fork. At our current pace, we'll be at the exit in about three hours. ”

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly his tone changed, and I heard him "Huh?" "Yes.

"Several, wait a minute, ahead.. There seems to be something. ”

He came out of nowhere and startled a few of us. We are all crowded in the rock crevices now, and what is going on in front of us can only be seen by the fourth camel in front. And if we really encounter a situation in this kind of place, then I am afraid that a few of us will not even have time to escape for our lives, and we will be served directly in a pot, without discussion.

"What's that? Fourth, don't scare us with surprise. Cassia thought that the fourth camel was joking.

"I can't see clearly, there is light, it seems to be a night pearl."

As soon as Cassia heard this, he teased behind him: "Fourth, you must be dazzled, how can Night Pearl be in such a place?" ”

The fourth camel did not refute, beckoned us to follow him, and the group hurriedly moved forward. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I saw a baby fist-sized pearl of the night with a glowing green glow being stuffed into a rock crevice. I was almost stunned, such a big night pearl is definitely worth a lot.

But before he had time to be happy, the fourth camel said that this thing was a bit strange. The fourth person has experienced a lot of things in his life, and everything he sees is straight to the point, and he can see the essence of things at a glance.

According to the fourth, he had seen a record of this night pearl on the murals in the backrooms before. It stands to reason that this Night Pearl should be in the jade coffin in the Backrooms, how could it appear in this place?

I wondered, could that be the case? Someone stole the pearl of the night from the jade coffin and found the entrance hidden under the jade coffin, and then this person entered the labyrinth like us. However, the mine roads in the labyrinth are intricate, and in order to find the route out, he had to use this valuable night pearl as a road sign. In this way, we have picked up a big bargain.

Cassia was behind, and seeing that the fourth child was hesitant, he said: "I said that you are really strange, how can you be so worried?" Whatever it came about. Since gold fell from the sky, you should accept it obediently. ”

Finally, the fourth child still couldn't resist the temptation, and slowly took the night pearl from the rock crevice. However, when I stood behind him and saw him get the Night Pearl, my first reaction was very strange. He first picked it up and sniffed it, and then as if he remembered something, his face changed suddenly, and he looked panicked and stuffed the night pearl back again.

Cassia was inexplicably looking at it from behind, so he asked him, "Fourth, what are you doing when you put it back?" You can't be fucking illiterate, right? ”

The camel didn't pay attention to Cassia's taunt, but looked back and forth restlessly.

As soon as I saw his expression, I said something was wrong, and hurriedly asked him what was the matter?

"Guys, this is a big problem!"
