Chapter 14: Liu Shiye's Gambling
At the same time that Wang Yuan and the others began to move towards the cave, Liu Xingye and the others also began to grope along the passage in front of them, and Zhou An found that Liu Xingye seemed to be frowning all the time as he walked forward. "Mr. Liu, is there any problem?" Zhou An asked.
Liu Xingye said with some worry: "What do you say Wang Yuan and the others will do if they run into the group of people who came in before us...... I encountered this accident just now, and I actually forgot about it in a hurry. ”
"What now?" Zhou An said.
"If they're here to rob tombs or something, it's dangerous." Li Fangzheng said.
"Damn, mistaken, we need to get out of here." Liu Industrial said.
The three of them quickened their pace, this passage is not the same as the one Wang Yuanjin above, this passage is straight and oblique, there are steps one step at a time, the surrounding area of the hole is just a smooth stone wall, plus the blue and faint light, Liu Xingye tries to only look at the feet, because the surrounding environment has been looking for a long time makes people feel crazy.
"Do you remember the dogs back then? Could it be that he entered here by accident, and was scared crazy alone in this environment? Li Fangzheng said.
"Perhaps...... It would be crazy if he was unintentionally trapped here alone, and if that was the case, it seems that he got out in the end. Liu Industrial said.
Zhou An didn't speak, he kept looking around, as if he was afraid of missing something, as if he didn't have the anxiety of being trapped here at all.
The three of them walked like this for seven or eight minutes, and gradually they all had a feeling that none of them could say: at this angle, the road seemed to lead near the entrance from which they came. If this is the case, there are two possible outcomes, one is that they arrive at the exit first, which is the best. But they all felt that the second possibility was the second outcome, which was to be closed, like the entrance above, and then the three of them would be stuck in a dead end. With this suspicion, the three of them walked faster and faster, and Liu Shiye suddenly ran to the front, and after running a distance, he saw a stone wall at the end of the passage in the distance. And so it was...... The three of them were a little deflated, and squatted on the ground with pale faces.
"Do you really want to hope for four children?" Liu Industrial said.
"Why would you want to build this kind of passage, it doesn't make sense at all." Zhou An said that before this, he listened to what Liu Shiye said to Wang Yuan, and he still felt that he could go out, and he could fully appreciate the wisdom and labor achievements of this ancient, but this time it seemed to be dead, even if Wang Yuan went out, they might not necessarily find them.
"Build this kind of passage...... Liu Xingye repeated. That's right! Do you remember why the three of us are here? ”
"Nonsense, it's not falling yet." Li Fangzheng said angrily.
"No, I mean, why did we fall?" Liu Xingye continued.
"It's all at this juncture, don't sell it, what did you find?" Li Fangzheng said.
"The main thing is this big hole, think about it, who will build a dead end under this big hole." Liu Industrial said.
"Could it be that this big hole collapsed later?" Zhou An said.
"Yes, after all, it's a professor, it's different from Li Fangzheng's stupid hat." Liu Shiye said, Li Fangzheng was speechless for a while.
Liu Xingye said: "When the people of the Underworld built this place, the top was originally flat, and the original entrance was connected to the huge passage on the opposite side that we saw, which should be regarded as the main gate, but later it may have collapsed in the long years, and it became what we see now, so the last group of people used ropes to reach the opposite main gate." ”
"That makes sense, then our side should be considered ...... An outlet? Zhou An said.
"No, this should be an entrance in, we are down, we want to enter the dungeon, maybe we have to go back." Liu Industrial said.
"It's not that there's nothing when you go back, but the entrance can be turned into an exit, there must be a mechanism here, we can find a way to get out here." Li Fangzheng said.
"Even if there is a mechanism, the three of us can't figure it out with just the three of us. And a mechanism that can be used after 2,000 years must be similar to the gravity mechanism we used when we came in, and it is almost impossible for us to get out of here. Liu Industrial said.
"But going back is a dead end." Li Fangzheng said.
"...... in the water," Zhou An said.
"That's right, on the opposite stone wall, now flooded, let's go and see." Liu Industrial said.
"How do you get in the water?" Li Fangzheng asked.
"At least for now, we can only bet that the channel is not going all the way down." After Liu Xingye finished speaking, he walked briskly towards the road he came.
Although Liu Shiye said so, Li Fangzheng and Zhou An, who were following behind, did not seem to have much hope. At this time, they could only hope that Wang Yuan and they could get out smoothly, and then call the police to rescue the three of them.
It took the three of them less than five minutes to reach the hole where they had entered the passage at the beginning. Looking at the blue and faint water, Liu Xingye estimated the angle of this passage and the distance from the other side, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I'll take a look." ”
"No kidding, even if there is another passage, it must be going down, you don't want to live? And there are clawed snakes in this water, have you forgotten? Li Fangzheng said.
"If I can't come back, you guys just stay here honestly, maybe Wang Yuan and they will go out......" Liu Xingye said.
"Mr. Liu, you'd better not take risks, if you can't come back." Zhou An said.
Liu Xingye waved his hand and plunged into the water, swam to the opposite stone wall, looked back at the location of the hole, and then took a big breath and dived into the water, although from the outside it seems that the water seems to be glowing with blue light and seems to be very mixed, but after diving into the water, it seems that it seems to be seen farther under the illumination of these lights in the water. Sure enough, as Liu Xingye expected, he saw a hole not far away, it should be said that it was right in front of him, Liu Xingye began to calculate the distance while floating up, and after reaching the water surface, Liu Xingye found that the hole was only about three meters away from the water surface. According to his previous calculations, if it was extended down according to the angle of the passage on the opposite side, it would take six or seven meters to see the hole, but now it is only three meters, which can only mean that the passage does not extend down all the time, it must have extended down for a distance to become horizontal and lead here.
"How?" Li Fangzheng on the opposite side shouted.
Liu Xingye didn't answer, but held his breath again and dived, this time he entered the hole, as he guessed, the hole was horizontal. He walked some distance and found that it was pitch black in front of him, with almost no blue light, and the glowing material didn't seem to have spread much here. He swam a distance and felt that it was time to return, but he was not willing to go back like this, so he planned to bet on another distance, he held on to the stone wall and swam forward for more than 20 seconds, and suddenly he found that he saw the blue light faintly in front of him, he didn't care about leaving time for himself to return, so he swam towards the blue light, he was getting closer and closer to the blue light, just above his head, suddenly his hand holding the wall jumped into the air, and then he saw the blue light above his head, he knew that he must have entered a large space, he began to float up, Sure enough, his head was out of the water, he breathed heavily, and the scene presented in front of him made him dumbfounded: he was in a huge cube building space at this time, the volume was completely beyond his expectations, it was a cube with a side length of about a hundred meters, and the walls around it were densely packed with the kind of symbols they had seen before, these symbols emitted a somewhat gray blue light, as if there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at Liu Shiye in it, which was completely different from the light blue they had seen before. Liu Xingye swam towards the middle, and he found that around him in the distance was a circular structure, about forty or fifty meters in diameter, as if digging an inverted cone or inverted platform in the originally square ground, and there was a circular stone ladder leading into the water. Looking at the top of the circular staircase from the water, it appears to be a flat ground with countless statue-like statues of stones, which are not very visible below. There is also a stone pillar in the center of the circle, about ten meters above the water surface, just like the Dinghai God Needle in Journey to the West. But the most important thing for Liu Xingye is that he sees that at the top of the steps opposite, there seems to be a passage to other places.
"Gotta get them there." Liu Shiye began to swim towards the passage from which he came.
