Seeing that Li Xinwen was also injured, Liu Xiaoge was taken aback, because Li Xinwen was an all-powerful spiritual leader in their three-person team. There is basically no problem that can be difficult for her, and her skills are excellent, Liu Xiaoge can hardly think of any danger that can make her hurt.
But this time she was really injured, Liu Xiaoge felt that the Dinghai Divine Needle in her heart had been pulled out, and she had an inexplicable fear of this mysterious and strange Minyue King. This fear is not the fear of facing the moment of life and death, but the fear of despair born of a sense of powerlessness.
Liu Xiaoge began to think for the first time about whether their group could walk out of the tomb of the King of Minyue safe and sound, just when Liu Xiaoge's heart was extremely chaotic. Li Xinwen had already struggled to crawl inside, and the bronze terracotta warriors outside couldn't climb in at all because they were too tall, so they could only stay outside the cave and stare dryly.
But the strange thing is that they didn't attack the entrance of the cave, this is very similar to the scene when Liu Xiaoge escaped last time, they seem to have a strong sense of territory, as long as they are out of their territory, they will not pursue. Sure enough, it didn't take long for these bronze terracotta warriors to begin to retreat in an orderly manner.
Although the bronze terracotta warriors left, the three did not dare to return to the main burial chamber again. Li Xinwen gritted her teeth, took out gauze from her backpack, beckoned the little monkey to come up, cleaned the wound with liquor, and then bandaged it with gauze. The wound was very deep, and there was no way to stop the bleeding in time with such emergency treatment, and soon after the gauze was bandaged, it was stained red with blood again, so I had no choice but to change another roll of gauze.
Although Liu Xiaoge's shoulder was also injured, but fortunately, the force of the impact was not very large, and after examination, it was only red and swollen under his eyes, and there were no obvious signs of fractures, as for whether there was a bone crack, there was no way to judge. The three of them rested for a while, and Liu Xiaoge began to observe the hole that his group had drilled into.
The hole is dug by hand, and it looks a bit similar to the robbery hole when you came in, but it doesn't make sense, if this is a robbery hole, why do you have to seal it with bluestone bricks to hide it? Li Xinwen saw Liu Xiaoge's doubts and explained: "Look at the color of the soil and this reinforcement method. When she said this, Li Xinwen brushed away a piece of dirt on the cave wall.
Revealing the already green bronze bracket inside, he continued: "This may be a special escape passage dug by the craftsmen who built this tomb of the Minyue King in ancient times. As soon as he heard the escape route, Liu Xiaoge's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said happily: "Then what are we waiting for, let's go out first." Anyway, the little monkey was rescued, and the purpose of our visit was achieved. ”
Li Xinwen frowned and did not answer, but silently crawled towards the passage. Liu Xiaoge looked at it and was overjoyed, and then it seemed to him that Li Xinwen's silence should agree with him. The three of them crawled out of the escape passage for dozens of meters, and a dried corpse appeared in the passage dozens of meters later.
The corpse's clothing had completely decomposed, and based on the preservation of the corpse, it was roughly inferred that the corpse was estimated to have been dead for about a hundred years. It is very Ken Neng is the corpse of the last group of tomb robbers who came to the tomb of King Minyue, and the corpse is curled up in a ball. Although his skin had dried up and shrunk, he could still make out the person's expression when he died.
The boss with his eyes wide open, staring straight ahead, although his eyeballs were rotten, he could see through the deep sunken eye sockets that the deep despair that this person had revealed when he died. It was as if I had climbed here with all my hard work, and found that there was no way out, but strangely enough, this was not the case.
The rear of the three leads to the main burial chamber, and there is a deep passage inside, which is not impossible to walk no matter how you look at it. Could it be that this escape route has collapsed and blocked? Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoge's heart became nervous, he wanted to find out, even if he was really blocked, it might not be a dead end.
Unlike this trapped predecessor, they have complete tomb robbery equipment, whirlwind shovels, sapper shovels and other equipment, and even if they collapse, they can dig a passage. Li Xinwen carefully examined the corpse and found a very badly decayed bag under the corpse.
Pushing it open with his fingers, he found some rotting food and a badly corroded whirlwind shovel. Seeing all this, Li Xinwen's face changed slightly, and the three of them looked at each other without speaking, and continued to crawl forward, and climbed out of dozens of meters later. There were two paths in front of me, one up and one down, and the one facing up was similar to the one that was passing under my feet.
The lower part of the soil is fresher, and the hole is smaller and has a completely different shape, this escape passage is square, while the downward passage is circular. Although Liu Xiaoge is not very experienced, he can also judge that most of the one facing down is the thief hole that the corpse dug up to the escape passage just now.
Then this thief hole facing down is very likely to lead to the lower underground palace, seeing that Liu Xiaoge crawled straight towards the upward escape channel, he was no longer willing to stay in the tomb of the king of Minyue for a second longer. After Liu Xiaoge climbed out of three or five meters, he did find that Li Xinwen and the little monkey did not follow.
Turning around, he saw that both of them were standing silently, as if watching him leave. Liu Xiaoge felt a hint of something wrong, and forced a smile on his face: "What are you waiting for, hurry, go out first." You see, we are all injured now, and the lower underground palace is in crisis, even if we want to go down, we have to go out to adjust and adjust first. ”
Speaking of the second half, Liu Xiaoge was already a little convinced, because he could see that neither of them seemed to be willing to leave, Li Xinwen didn't leave Liu Xiaoge can understand that this woman's thinking has always been different from normal people. And the little monkey actually chose to stand on the same side as Li Xinwen at this time, and he didn't leave, Liu Xiaoge was a little puzzled.
He knows the character of the little monkey too well, although he is greedy for money and likes to take advantage of small advantages, but he is definitely not the kind of person who will work hard for money. Liu Xiaoge turned around and climbed back, tugged at the little monkey's clothes and said, "Little monkey, why are you stunned?" Let's go together. ”
The little monkey's expression was a little unnatural, and he stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xiaoge's hand lightly.
The tone was flat but with a sense of resoluteness, and he said: "Little brother, I won't go, if you really want to go, you can go by yourself." After hearing this, Liu Xiaoge was stunned at first, and then said inexplicably a little angrily: "Okay, little monkey, your wings are stiff, and you don't listen to my words, right?" Come with me. ”
As he spoke, he was about to grab the little monkey's arm, but the little monkey turned his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Xiaoge's eyes, but he still repeated: "I really don't want to go, it's difficult to go to the grave once, I don't want to go like this." Although the little monkey turned his head quickly, and the light in the cave was relatively dim, Liu Xiaoge still keenly captured a trace of the little monkey's micro-expression.
Seeing Liu Xiaoge fall into deep thought, the three of them fortunately rested in place, but this time the atmosphere was completely different from the previous ones. No more laughter, no more discussion and debate, just silence. The three of them fell silent with their own thoughts, and Liu Xiaoge stared at the smokeless stove on the ground and began to ponder.
Liu Xiaoge majored in archaeology in college, but he worked as a street fortune teller for a long time, so in order to improve his business ability after going to college, he specially chose this criminal psychology. Although I am not specialized in a few years, I have quite a lot of experience, and the most important part of criminal psychology is people's micro-expressions.
No matter how powerful the criminals are in acting and camouflage, but this micro-expression is often directly ordered by the subconscious, that is, the real self, and the micro-expression will not deceive people. So although it was fleeting just now, Liu Xiaoge still saw that the little monkey in front of him had changed a little from the little monkey he knew who was giggling all day long and had no heart and lungs.
Liu Xiaoge has no way to judge the specific changes, but he vaguely feels that the little monkey may have some unspeakable secrets. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoge began to recall all the bits and pieces since he went to the tomb from the first time he saw the little monkey to the present. This memory immediately thought of something wrong, first of all, when the little monkey first appeared.
When they were in the burial chamber, first the cold noodles suddenly appeared, and then the little monkeys also suddenly appeared. Recalling Leng Jiang's method of facing Fu Jiang's big head, it can be seen that Leng Mian is a ruthless person, especially in the face of betrayers. Based on this premise, he began to speculate and think about the words of the little monkey and the cold face.
At that time, the situation was urgent, Liu Xiaoge did not think about it carefully, and now that he recalled it, he immediately found a flaw. First of all, Leng Mian mentioned the word cooperation, and then just shot down the little monkey's pistol, with Leng Mian's ability, he could kill the little monkey in seconds, but he didn't have to do it.
Again, the little monkey's answer was also very strange, and when combined with Liu Xiaoge, he immediately came to an astonishing conclusion. Cold noodles seem to deliberately test the little monkey, but the little monkey passed the test. This shows that the little monkey is likely to have reached an ulterior cooperation agreement with the old target and his group when he went to the tomb, but Leng Mian couldn't believe the little monkey's ability, so he deliberately designed and tested the little monkey.
After the little monkey passed the test, Leng Mian immediately proposed cooperation, although he proposed cooperation, he did not mention a word about the details of cooperation, and Liu Xiaoge thought that Leng Mian had no time to explain. Now it seems that the details of this cooperation may have been discussed a long time ago, and Leng Mian wants the little monkey to be the middleman to tell the details of the cooperation.
But the little monkey has not mentioned any details of cooperation until now, and Liu Xiaoge is already very uncomfortable when he thinks of this. He was very reluctant to doubt his good brother like this, but now when all the impossibilities were eliminated, the only remaining impossibility was the truth.
Betrayal, concealment, and conspiracy were countless words lingering in Liu Xiaoge's mind, and Liu Xiaoge closed his eyes in pain. The painful expression of the little monkey just turned around appeared in his mind again, and at this moment, Liu Xiaoge seemed to see a kind of firmness in this pain.
Yes, the little monkey will not betray himself, so many lives and deaths have come. How can I, as a big brother, not help him when he is in trouble right now, there is a saying in the Bible that says: If you suspect that someone else has betrayed you, you have betrayed someone first. (I can't remember the original sentence in a nutshell.) )
Okay, you're an old target, you're a tomb of the King of Minyue, your Grandpa Liu is really out of the way, and I'll see what you want to do with this 100 catties of meat to the end.
