Chapter Ninety-Eight: If You Don't See a Rabbit, You Don't Scatter an Eagle
"Stop!" Feng Qiyun raised his hand and said: "Brother Cha, we seem to have been led into a bottomless alley by these footprints, how can there be such a long tomb, it is beyond our understanding." ”
Cha Wenbin Zhou's cold wall said: "I also have this feeling, like being hit by a ghost on the wall, I can't go this way, let's go back, follow the footprints and retreat, the more you go inside, the more unsteady your heart is." ”
Unfortunately, when they turned around, they saw a white ape that was about twenty meters away from them, and the branch in his hand was still grinning at them......
“**!” The fat man screamed and turned his head and chased after the monkey, Feng Qiyun didn't know what was going on, and the rest of the people had a look of unluck. But the monkey ran fast, and there was no trace of it after a smoke, and it didn't know where it had learned to do anything, so it quietly followed behind its ass to wreak havoc, but this time, it was a thick layer of silt, and the monkey could only leave a long drag mark behind it.
The fat man panted and crossed his waist and cursed, and at the end of the distance, the monkey disappeared into the distant darkness with a slight "squeak" of laughter. She was also speechless after explaining the origin of the monkey with Feng Qiyun, but she also said that the white ape is infested and there must be treasures.
At the moment, they can only follow the "map" that it has drawn in a mess, and it will be about half an hour, and they can return to the original point according to their foot strength, but this road has become an endless passage, and it seems that they can't finish walking. The branches on the ground were also painted with the footprints of several people, and the direction of the shoe prints was indeed reversed, proving that they had indeed been here before, but what about the hole? Why did it disappear!
"Don't worry," Feng Qiyun comforted Cha Wenbin and said: "Footprints don't deceive, the more anxious you are, the more you feel that there is no end, and I estimate that I am almost at the entrance." ”
"Monkey, monkey, you're such a fool!" The fat man sat on the ground with a helpless face, some old walls, everyone wanted to catch it and beat it, but just when you meant it was gone, it reappeared at the right time, grabbing a branch in its hand and scratching your ears and cheeks not far away. The fat man thought that he still had dry food in his pocket, so he thought of a bad idea, took out a piece of bread and nibbled it in his mouth twice, and then held it up to the monkey, and the monkey began to be a little tempted, and began to try to drag the branch to this side slowly.
Cha Wenbin saw that it was indeed cute, so he said to the fat man: "Don't hurt it, you saved our lives." ”
"Hurt it? I don't have that ability, I can't even catch the second guy in this guy, I just want it to lead the way, it seems to be much more familiar than us. ”
Three steps and two steps while walking and looking back, finally it still approached the fat man, but the expression in his eyes that was seduced by delicious food really made people laugh, it seemed to be a little afraid of the fat man, two or three meters away from it was no longer willing to approach, just kept jumping around, thinking that it was in a fierce ideological struggle.
"Eat, it's delicious." The fat man took a bite and said to it: "We have a condition, you take us to walk around here, you are not allowed to make trouble, from now on if you want to eat well, go to the bottom of the mountain to find this old man, he must be indispensable to your share, is this business done?" ”
The monkey didn't know if it understood, and after scratching its ears and cheeks for a while, it actually stuck out its tongue at the fat man, and then it boldly stretched out its paws and snatched the piece of bread from its hand.
The fat man stretched out his thumb and said, "Want to eat?" It's easy to do, lead the way, your conscience is great, and the good people are working hard! ”
After taking half of the cake again, the white ape began to twist its ass and walk slowly, it was no longer disappearing as quickly as before, and the piece of baked cake suddenly pulled into the distance between the man and the monkey. Apes are extremely intelligent, and scientific studies say that adult apes have the same IQ as seven or eight year olds, but this guy is completely an old fritter, and its pink ass is indeed very funny.
The group all followed the monkey silently, and God knows if it understood what the fat man was saying, but soon they noticed something different, the monkey flashed by a wall and disappeared. Fortunately, their eyes were pointed, and the monkey was scurrying upwards, and a very hidden entrance was above their heads. Because it was dimly lit, and the black vault blended in with the entrance, it was no wonder they hadn't
In fact, the upward opening was directly above the hole where they had entered, and the monkeys bared their teeth at them, as if they were a little dissatisfied with the slowness of their movements.
And the answer is also quickly revealed, why they feel like they are going in circles all the time, in fact, there is a ring underneath, and a huge ring. As soon as they climbed up, they found a tombstone standing in front of them, and a figure of 8 shaped burial chamber structure resembling a lying place stood prominently on this tablet, and they were now in the same position at the junction of the two rings.
"This is interesting," the fat man said, "How can someone still mark his tomb structure so clearly, is it because he is afraid that people will not find his coffin, and he specially pointed out the way?" ”
Indeed, no one would do that, and no one would build the tomb so huge, not even the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. So Cha Wenbin put forward an idea, he said: "I think we are a little preconceived, because it is underground, and there is a long passage, which makes it easy for us to think that it is a mausoleum, but so far, I have not found anything related to the mausoleum, but this tablet reminds me, where will such a clear map be marked?" ”
"City!" Feng Qiyun said: "Only the city will mark the map to facilitate the entry and exit of the people who live here, and we are now taking a 'highway', and this is an underground city!" ”
This is definitely a bold guess, building a city underground, for the distant ancients is huge and difficult to complete, but Feng Qiyun said: "According to records, the first appearance of Qingqiu should be in the Dayu period, Dayu saw all kinds of monsters here, these monsters and people live together, but they are all governed by a fox. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, after Jiang Ziya's successful defeat, the royal flag of Beiyan had been floated in the entire northeast, and Qingqiu Kingdom disappeared overnight, as if it had evaporated from the world. The world has never found any evidence that this country ever existed, because it left nothing. If it is said that this Qingqiu country is an underground kingdom, or if it was built such an underground city after the rise of Northern Yan to escape the war, it is still possible. ”
The fat man said: "If there is a city, there must be buildings, and it will not be who the people of Qingqiu Country are in this aisle, they also have to eat and drink Lazar, speaking of which, I think this matter is still unreliable, let's go up and get some shovels to explore the bottom?" ”
Feng Qiyun said: "This layer is completely different from the one we came to just now, there is silt on the ground on the next floor, I deduce that it may be their underground drainage system, and this entrance is a bit like our current sewer entrance, this layer may be where they really live, is there any trace of fire burning on your wall." ”
There are blackened patches every 10 meters or so on both sides of the walkway, which are typical of the marks left by fire, and there is still a small section of broken wood embedded in some walls, which indicates that there were once scaffolds.
Cha Wenbin also said: "It is impossible to burn in the tomb for such a long time, the sesame oil will always run out, these are not panicked before the last group of people disappear, at least both sides of this road are still very clean." ”
Since they were sure that this was not a tomb, then the hapless monkey led them to go shopping, and several people's dry food was contributed one after another, but it was a lord who did not see a rabbit and did not scatter an eagle, and he did not want to take a step if he did not eat. It's a little familiar with people, and it's starting to grow bolder, daring to get closer to them gradually, and even make a joke by touching it. In such an oppressive space, having such an ape can at least ease the atmosphere a lot.
Soon there were some small forks in the road, and the monkey would often get confused in front of some of the forks, and occasionally pout his butt to pee, which was making a mark. The aisles are no longer so flat, there are ups and downs, and what makes them look forward to it is that some buildings that resemble rooms are beginning to appear, and the recognizable doors can be turned into charcoal ash when you walk in, and every house has a flue, these buildings are very scientifically designed, and some hard stone-like grain blocks confirm their inference: there were people living here, and there were many people!
