I screamed in fright, retreated to Meng Yingjiu's side and said, "There's a person in front of that!" ”

Zou Zhou took the flashlight, looked at it and said, "Please, it's just a statue, don't be startled, scare me to death." “

I said, "Are you sure, he just appeared in front of you out of nowhere." ”

Zou Zhou said: "Take a closer look! He's still there! ”

I looked over there again, and sure enough, the man was still there. Zou Zhou dangled the flashlight on the man, and the man didn't move.

Meng Yingjiu said: "It was a bronze statue. Hearing him say that relieved me.

Zou Zhou said: "Hey, forget it, let me lead the way, just like you, I have to be frightened by you." ”

I walked up to him, gave him the lamp and said, "Come!" Here you go! I don't dare to go ahead anymore. Zou Zhou took the miner's lamp and walked towards the statue, and we followed him to the statue.

When I walked up to the bronze statue, I found that it was the same as the huge silkworm statue inside, except that the statue was not that big, only about two meters high, and it stood barefoot directly on the ground. And it was not holding a box in its hand, but something like a twig.

Zou Zhou asked, "Is this also a statue of a silkworm?" ”

Zou Xin looked at the bronze statue and said, "Well, this is also a silkworm cong." “

I said, "So what did he get this time?" “

Zou Xin said: "He is holding a magic staff, which is a symbol of the power of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Legend has it that this staff was originally a branch of the sacred tree. “

It turned out to be really a branch. Zou Zhou said: "I remember that my grandmother also told me the story of the sacred tree. Grandma said that the sacred tree is a tree with magical powers, it can make people hallucinate, so that people can confuse people, make people close to it, and then it will eat people. “

I asked suspiciously, "This should be a tree demon, how can it be a sacred tree?"

Zou Zhou said: "You listen to me, but if people's will is strong enough, they will not be confused by the sacred tree." Then you can get close to it, make a wish to it, and it will grant your wish. ”

This is not the same nature as the Dryad. I said, "Has anyone made a wish to it?" ”

Zou Xin said: "The silkworm cong made a wish to it. “

Zou Zhou asked, "What did he wish?" “

Zou Xin said: "Only he knows this." People only know that when he became the king of the ancient Shu Kingdom, he cut down a branch of a sacred tree as a staff. “

I said, "Maybe he just made a wish for the sacred tree to give him a branch?" ”

Zou Zhou said: "No, I think he must have made a wish to the Divine Tree, hoping that he can live forever." ”

But in the end, he still didn't be able to live forever, saying that he turned into a god and went to heaven, not just the beautification of him by later generations. The Chen family really believed that there would be a secret of immortality.

We continued on until we reached the gate of the second wall. Unfortunately, my backpack does not appear here, nor does it have Grandma Zou Zhou's diary. I sighed and said, "I'm daydreaming again." I thought he would hear us and be kind enough to give it back to us. ”

Zou Xin said: "Don't be discouraged, there is another door, maybe there is your bag there." “

This time we didn't rest, but moved on. Out of the second gate, the outside was still the same potholed flat ground as the inside. Zou Xin said that this is also the ancestral spirit land, and they should all be buried here after they die. But since the death of the patriarch, the rules have been broken, and no one is buried here anymore because it is no longer safe.

In those years, the Chen family and the Zhang family took a lot of things out to buy here, and it was inevitable that the news would leak, so a small number of people in the antique circle probably knew that there was such a place, so there would be tomb robbers from time to time later.

Many people came, but few people walked out alive, and some people met the spirits, so there is a legend of the ghost cave. However, the roads in the cave are intricate, and when their ancestors built this place, they set up mechanisms and dug many forks in the road, so few outsiders can come here.

With that, we walked out of the third wall, unfortunately there was no longer my backpack here. And 10 meters outside the city wall is the rock of the cave, and there is no exit. I asked, "Why is there no door?" ”

Zou Xin said: "You have to activate the mechanism to open the door. ”

When we got to the cave, I could still see where the door was. Zou Xin told Zou Zhou to press a raised stone on the ground in front of us. If I had come to look for it, I wouldn't have seen that this stone had such a big secret, it was no different from the gravel on the ground next to it.

After Zou Zou pressed down hard, he heard the sound of a machine operating in the cave wall, and soon, a rock almost 3 meters high and 4 meters wide in front of us sank down, and a tunnel appeared in front of us.

Zou Zhou and I were stunned, before the mechanism was activated, we couldn't see the stone gate at all, it was perfectly hidden in the stone cracks of the cave.

We walked into the tunnel, Zou Xin asked Zou Zhou to press a stone in the corner, the stone door closed, and he was invisible again. I couldn't help but ask, "How did those two tomb robbers find out about this mechanism?" If I had come here, I would have thought it was a dead end, and I would have returned. ”

Zou Zhou said: "Me too, when the time comes, I will definitely think that the map is wrong." ”

How did Meng Yingjiu open this place? I asked him, "Meng Yingjiu, how did you find out about the organ?" ”

Meng Yingjiu said: "When I arrived here, the door was open. ”

Zou Xin said: "It may be that the pervert opened it, and when he caught Sister Lin in, he forgot to close it." “

Meng Yingjiu asked Zou Xin: "Is this the only door here that can enter inside?" “

Zou Xin said: "Actually, no, it's just that there are a lot of deadly mechanisms in other passages, and if you walk there, there is only a dead end." So that's the only entrance. “

Speaking of deadly mechanisms, I think of the "Wooden Stick Array" I saw. So he asked Zou Xin and said, "Brother Zou, I saw a place in the ghost cave where the ground was full of wooden sticks, and these wooden sticks must have flown out of the wall, but how can wooden sticks hurt people?" Shouldn't it be an arrow? “

Zou Xin said: "Wooden sticks." He thought for a moment and said, "No, those sticks should have been arrows, but maybe the arrows on them were taken." ”

I said, "But with so many sticks, it's too much trouble to take the arrows off each one, right?" And, why would anyone take those arrows?

Zou Xin said: "I don't know about this. It's just that it shouldn't be a stick. “

It's incredible, but no one should be bored enough to take off the arrows one by one, how much time does it take? So many sticks.

We walked out of the tunnel and found that we were coming out of one of the intersections of an intersection. Zou Xin showed us the way and told us to go straight. Zou Zhou said: "The correct road is set up like this, it is easy for people to guess correctly!" ”

Zou Xin said: "Not necessarily, when ordinary people see such an intersection, they will not choose to continue to go straight." They subconsciously think that since there is a fork in the road, they should change direction. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, if it were me, I would choose to turn left, or turn right." “

Zou Zhou said: "It seems that sometimes, it is better to be simple. “

I took it for granted, if it weren't for your big brain and complicated thoughts, this incident wouldn't have happened. Of course, if I didn't meddle in my own affairs, I wouldn't have suffered all this anymore, and in the end, I still blame myself.

Under the guidance of Zou Xin, we walked through 3 intersections and 3 three-way intersections. I can't help but sigh, if I didn't know the way, I would really get lost and die in it.

Walking like this, Zou Zhou suddenly shouted in front: "Huh! “

His sudden cry startled me! Zou Xin asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zou Zhou bent down and picked up something from the ground and said, "There's actually a lipstick here!" ”

I said, "Lipstick? You bring it to me and I'll take a look. “

Zou Zhou took the lipstick, and I looked, isn't this my lipstick! I said, "This is my lipstick!" “

I turned my head to look around, and it seemed familiar! I asked Zou Zhou to help Zou Xin, and walked forward with the miner's lamp, and Meng Yingjiu also followed. After walking about 10 meters, I saw my backpack on the ground!

I exclaimed, "I see my bag!" Then I immediately ran over and looked through my bag, and it was all there! Nothing less.

I picked up my bag, patted the dust off it, put it on my back and said excitedly, "Great! I don't have to re-apply for those papers! ”

Zou Zhou and Zou Xin also came over, and Zou Zhou said, "Are you stunned by perverts here?" ”

I looked around and said, "yes, this is it, I remember that after I noticed someone was following me, I just ran through an intersection and I was stunned by the pervert." “

Zou Zhou said: "Your luck is so good, you can choose the right path when you run around." “

I smiled and said, "Of course, you don't want to think about ......" Before I could finish speaking, a picture flashed through my mind.

I put away my smile and said, "No, I remember!" I chose to go this way because I noticed an arrow on the wall to guide me!"
