Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Mandate of Heaven
Chapter 69 Destiny of Heaven
We're now in a place about 100 meters underground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI don't know if it's because of plate collisions or other reasons, there have been many large fault zones.
I'm at this point now, I'm afraid I've reached the center of many fault zones. If there is movement in this position now, our hundred-plus or so people will be squeezed to death under it.
"How's it going?" I picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.
"They've traveled so deep that they can't see it anymore." The voice of a fat man came over the intercom.
I glanced at Lan, who was half-leaning against the rock wall and napping, and then at my men who were sitting on the ground resting behind me. After thinking about it, he asked the fat man again: "Can you give a rough estimate of how long it will take them to get there?" ”
There was silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, and then the fat man said, "It's hard to say." No one has been here. If one can't get a good way, I'm afraid that more than 10,000 people won't have enough to eat. ”
"Got it. You keep following. Mark along the way, and we'll follow with you. ”
"Roger."
Hang the walkie-talkie back on your chest and wave behind you to move on.
I haven't been able to explain anything about this. Or maybe I've always avoided mentioning it.
Buried underneath is an emperor.
The emperor of the first emperor of the ages.
The first emperor of the ages, the builder of Afang Palace. The holder of the Emperor's Jade Seal. Truly ordained by heaven.
It is absolutely impossible for a person who has reached such a height to be buried according to the specifications of an ordinary emperor when he dies. And the location of the burial is even more incredible.
Raising the world's soldiers to cast twelve bronze statues, this kind of courage is not something that anyone can have.
Less than an hour later, I suddenly noticed that there were many small mounds of earth not far ahead.
On closer inspection, these small mounds turned out to be wells that are common in rural areas. And the fat man, who was standing on the edge of the well at this time, seemed to be waiting for us to pass.
"What's the situation, why are there so many wells?" I asked. "Didn't you follow them, why did you stop?"
The fat man took a flashlight and drew a circle among the many wells behind him, and said, "All down." ”
I was stunned, I didn't understand what it meant. I just wanted to ask, but I saw Lan walk to a nearby well, pick up the wolf's eye and shine inside.
"How long have they been down?" Lan asked.
"About half an hour." The fat man thought for a moment and said. "I'm afraid you don't know the situation, so I'm waiting for you to come over there."
I looked at him and asked, "Did any voices come up after they went down?" ”
The fat man shook his head when he heard my question: "Except for the sound of talking, everything feels normal." The fat man paused as he spoke, and then added, "But according to the echo that came from me, it is estimated that the well is quite deep." As he spoke, the fat man kicked the rope fixed to the edge of the well: "Oh, hug the one who is downhill." ”
He Tao picked up a stone from the edge of the well, threw it down, and then tilted his ears to listen.
Looking at his movements and the expression on his face, I suddenly thought of the situation when I was standing on the plank road of a thousand coffins.
At that time, I also wanted to find out how deep the bottomless pit was, so I broke a stone from the wall and threw it down. As a result, I couldn't even hear a sound.
Will these wells be the same as those in the ancestral hall?
"There was no sound." He Tao said: "However, it is also possible that the well is too deep, and the bottom of the well is mud, and the sound of the stone falling is too small to be transmitted." ”
I nodded, straightened up and looked at the wells around me again.
There are definitely no less than twenty of these wells. And the density is too high. According to common sense, when dealing with the same dark river, in fact, every 100 meters between the wells drilled is still rich. Besides, there is no way to live down here. In other words, when digging wells, there is no need to think about people at all.
But what are so many wells being dug in the same place? If it is a normal well, then the dark river at the bottom of the well is bound to link these wells together. In this way, it is enough to dig only one well. There's no need to go through that much effort.
But what if that's not the case? If this is not an underground river, but a passage......
The passages under these wells are independent of each other. I think the only reason for this is to prevent tomb robbers.
The entrance to the labyrinth.
My heart said.
There are more than 20 wells, and each one should correspond to an inlet. One of these entrances may be right, and perhaps none of them may be right.
As long as you enter below, the mechanism below will easily kill people.
I told the fat man what I thought, and they nodded in agreement.
"So what now?" The fat man asked, leaning at his waist.
I looked at the fat man and saw that he was already panting slightly.
"There's no road ahead." The fat man noticed that I was looking at him and thought I was waiting for him to speak. He continued: "Before you arrived, I went to see the fat man." If you go forward in this place, it will be a dead end, and you will not be able to get through. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to go down. ”
I nodded, and just wanted to ask Lan's opinion, when I suddenly felt the fat man giving me a look. It means that men should be assertive.
Your sister.
I cursed in my heart.
"There are more than 20 wells, which means that there may be only one or many of them that are safe. Of course, if I were the owner of the tomb, I would not allow such a thing to exist. In other words, there is only one safe road down here. We now have two options. ”
As I spoke, I saw the fat man grinning at me.
"Laughing at what?" I asked.
"It's nothing, you go on - oops, my Ah Cheng actually has a brain." The fat man said.
I gave him a blank look and ignored him. Go on: "There are now two options. One is divided into twenty groups of about five people each. Then go into each well separately. After entering, life and death have their own destiny. ”
"What about the other one?" The fat man asked knowingly.
"The other is to choose a well, and let's all go down. Of course, life and death are still their own destiny. ”
When I said this, I saw He Tao's mouth move slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he still didn't say it.
"But the probability of success in the second option is too low. If you are not careful, this one may be the total annihilation. So I decided to go with the first option. ”
As I spoke, I turned to look at my men behind me, and the strange feeling in my heart suddenly rose again.
