Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Man in the Wall
The ground here was slippery, all soft dirt, and I landed on my feet so that I slipped and sat down in the mud with a thud.
This feeling is very uncomfortable, the upper body is soaked by the waterfall water, and the lower body is wrapped in mud, which is unusually muddy.
I was a little tired, and I didn't feel dirty, so I sat by myself, rubbing my hair with both hands, and splashing out all the water in it.
The iron donkey was half-squatting and taking a deep breath, originally looking at the meaning, he wanted to come over and pull me, but it was really dark in the water curtain hole, he first took out a flashlight and shone it inside.
Then he sighed, frowning at the dirt road that stretched in. I felt that he was acting abnormally, and in curiosity, I struggled to get up and come to him.
I'm not stupid either, and I quickly found the anomaly.
The dirt road in front of me is very smooth, and it has a mirror-like feeling. I said in my heart that if Jiang Shaoyan and his party passed by here, they would have to leave footprints.
I discussed it with the iron donkey, but I didn't have a good opinion, but there is a concept that can explain this weirdness, that is, Jiang Shaoyan and they are all ghosts, floating over this dirt road.
In the end, the iron donkey was too lazy to ponder, and said to me, "Apprentice, no matter what is strange about this road, it is important for us to find crows, you come with me." ”
He led the way with a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and the two of us went deep one after the other.
I don't think it's enough to have a flashlight from him, especially since I'm following behind, one foot deep and one foot shallow, which makes a lot of mud stick to my shoes, which is very heavy.
I also have a flashlight around my waist, so I take it out.
The iron donkey was responsible for shining forward, and my flashlight swept back and forth, taking the opportunity to observe the environment on both sides of the cave wall.
I found that on the cave wall here, a monk and child were drawn at intervals, taking out different postures and concentrating on alchemy. In addition, I have to say that the eyes of these monks and children are very real, and they are still inlaid into them.
I took advantage of the time to lean over the wall of a cave and touched my eyes with my hand. My feeling, it was wet and moving, and it was very soft and elastic, which shocked me, and I said that it can't be made with real eyes, right?
So how many people's eyes do you need to meet so many monks and children's paintings along the way? And what does the Demon Heart Arhat use to keep these eyes moist and not dry all the time?
The iron donkey saw that I was lagging behind, and he didn't mean to keep up, so he urged again.
I don't hide it, I say what I think, these eyeballs always give people a strange feeling, should we stop and study?
I'm afraid that there will be traps or something, the iron donkey thought about it, shook his head and said no.
He has his reasoning, Jiang Shaoyan must have walked through here, and the trap has already been activated, so let's not have distractions.
He also deliberately patted the mp5, and indirectly told me that with this gun, don't be afraid of anything.
I finally relented and continued on my way, but I hadn't gone far when there was a muffled noise.
We were both stunned, especially in this environment, and the sound made my heart tremble.
We stopped, pointed our flashlights in one direction, and shone them over.
The tacit and unified movements of the two of us made me believe that I had heard correctly, and that the sound was indeed coming from the wall of a cave.
There is a fat monk carved on the wall of this cave, it is said that the child is fat, and it should look very cute, but this monk has a wicked smile, not only is there no cuteness at all, but it highlights a wicked atmosphere.
Of course, according to normal analysis, it is just a petroglyph, without life, and it should not be it that the sound is made, but I have an intuition, this monk said.
We weren't in a hurry to do anything, and we kept tasting quietly. After a few seconds, the sound reappeared.
I don't know if I was hallucinating, but at that moment, I clearly saw that the monk's eyes rolled.
I asked Iron Donkey, did you notice this anomaly? The donkey replied no, but he knew I wasn't joking, and immediately lifted the mp5 again.
The iron donkey was very polite, and he didn't care about this bit of ammunition, and shot the fat monk boy in the eye.
His eyes immediately exploded, and a stream of soup flowed down the monk's cheeks. It made me a little sick, but I didn't have the energy to care about this, because this bullet actually made a hole appear in its eye socket, and even from a distance, there was a faint light coming out.
This gives me a very ridiculous concept, there is a world and a space in this cave wall, and there are people living in it, and they made the muffled sound just now.
The iron donkey shifted his footsteps, bringing himself closer to the cave wall.
I took out the Ban Viper pistol while I was free, in fact, I didn't plan to shoot, I just felt that holding the pistol like this gave me a sense of security.
The iron donkey winked at me and told me to go over and have a look.
I took a few deep breaths, nodded in response, and when I got over, I casually touched the wall of the cave, and felt that it was no different from ordinary stones, so I knocked again. Now I heard a somewhat empty voice.
It's like saying that the walls of this cave are not thick, and if there were a sledgehammer or a shovel or something, I could smash it with an iron donkey.
The last thing I wanted to do was to look in the empty eye socket of the monk, because it was very dirty near the eye socket, and I didn't want to put my face so close.
But after thinking about it, there really is no other way.
I cautiously leaned in, and was about to look through the hole when I noticed something rapidly approaching my eyes, accompanied by a buzzing sound.
I don't know what it is, but my gut tells me it's dangerous.
I hurriedly took a step back. It's dangerous! As soon as we left, a percussion drill bit poked at us, reaching through the loophole. The drill bit is still spinning rapidly.
I broke out in a cold sweat, and I couldn't imagine what would have happened if I had been half a beat slow just now and had been poked in the eye by a drill?
But this drill bit also relieved me and the iron donkey.
I think of Lei Tao, these tomb robbers, they carry this electric drill. To put it bluntly, the wall of this cave is just a compartment, and Jiang Shaoyan and Lei Tao should be on the opposite side.
I wanted to wait for the drill to be removed, and then shout at the loophole to remind the people on the other side not to accidentally hurt me and the iron donkey, but the iron donkey has a better way.
He leaned over to the cave wall and slammed his fist at the top a few times.
Soon there was movement on the other side, I guess it was Jiang Shaoyan, who also responded in a way of three long and two short.
As I said before, I didn't have anything to do with the iron donkey to smash the wall, so I had to wait. But on the opposite side, there was a lively "construction", and with a clanging sound, the cave wall was broken little by little, and finally a big hole was revealed.
The first to connect with us was a subordinate of Lei Tao, I saw that he was carrying an impact drill on his back, and I guess it was this bastard who almost blinded me just now.
We were also half acquaintances and said hello to each other. He was very curious, and asked me if I was not guarding the small waterfall with the iron donkey. Why did you come in?
I don't want to explain too much and deal with it with a sloppy eye. Then I went to the other side of the cave with the iron donkey.
Jiang Shaoyan and Lei Tao are all there, I counted them, and there was no one less, but there was a strange phenomenon, Lei Tao and his men were wandering around, lying around here and not leaving, as if they were looking for something, and someone also smashed the cave wall with a small hammer. Although Jiang Shaoyan was not so active, he also looked around from time to time.
I thought to myself, there's nothing weird here, huh? Why did you stop marching? I came to Jiang Shaoyan and asked. Jiang Shaoyan said what happened.
After they came to the Water Curtain Cave, they were slowly going deeper with a flashlight, and Lei Tao said that he suddenly saw a strange doll running in the distance.
The doll was wearing a small red cloth bag, with strands of red thread on her hands and feet.
They followed the strange doll and kept an eye out for the footprints left on the ground. When coming here, the footprints are gone. Under the wall of a cave, there is also a red thread, as if the doll has gotten into the wall.
They discussed it, but they didn't analyze the reason, and even a tomb robber was more superstitious, not to say that this was a ginseng doll, and they caught it and got it back, so it was sure that it was an old ginseng that had become a climate.
They wandered around here, trying to look for it, but they didn't expect the iron donkey to shoot and make a hole in the cave wall, which made the misunderstanding just now.
Of course, I definitely don't believe the ginseng doll's statement, but I also wonder why this doll disappeared inexplicably when it came here? Could it be that there are compartments in the walls of other caves, and the doll has fled to another place?
I don't understand this question, so I can only put it away first, and then with the iron donkey, you and I will say a word, and read the previous conversation with the Demon Heart Arhat to Jiang Shaoyan.
Jiang Shaoyan touched his forehead as he listened. Iron Donkey and I both persuaded Jiang Shaoyan to withdraw from the Water Curtain Cave while there was no danger now.
Jiang Shaoyan's expression was very entangled, and he seemed to agree with what we said, but at the same time, there was a stubbornness.
He fiddled with the palm of his hand, there was a red thread here, which must have been left by the "ginseng doll". In the end, he couldn't help but mutter, "The Demon Heart Arhat actually said that I am a three-legged golden crow? Still trying to catch me? It's funny! If you want me to say, he is the three-legged golden crow! ”
I was confused, I didn't know why he and the Demon Heart Arhat were so evil, and they both "scolded" each other for being a three-legged golden crow.
At this moment, a tomb robber shouted that he had made a discovery, and attracted all of us to it.
He crouched in front of a cave wall, holding a stone in both hands, which seemed to be normal, just a protruding stone. When we had gathered around, he let his companion light it with a flashlight and broke the stone with all his might.
I saw that under his force, cracks appeared in the roots of the stone. There was still a red thread in the crack, and when he withdrew his strength, the stone was carried by a force, and the crack was squeezed up.
We don't have time to worry about whether the doll is ginseng or not, and now we all have one idea, quickly break the stone and see if the doll is hidden in the cave wall and the stone!
