Chapter 59: A Never-Ending Crossroads 01
In addition to the darkness, there is a crossroads in front of me and Qianjue.
"Don't move, there's something strange about this place."
Qianjue was stopped by me and stopped in place, the light of the flashlight streaked a few lines in the darkness ahead, except for the gray-white slate and the gray-white slate wall, there was nothing else.
"Boss, the situation ahead is the same as here."
I shook the flashlight, and the sense of light was weak in the darkness, "Let's go over and take a look, watch your step, and try not to touch anything." β
"Okay."
We walked straight forward along this passage for about ten meters, and there was another intersection in front of us, I stood in place and observed the situation around with a flashlight, and sure enough, the place in front was still the same as here, with gray-white stone slabs embedded all around, forming a stone slab secret passage.
I turned off my headlamp and turned on the enhanced flashlight's strongest light perception and ultra-long distance, although the consequence of doing so was to double the power consumption, but I had a vague sense of the weirdness here, and I had to do it in order not to get into trouble.
The sense of light is enhanced, and you can see farther, but it is still the same to see the past, and the gray-white stone slabs engraved with repeated patterns are spliced one by one, which makes people look at it for a long time and will have visual fatigue.
Qian Jue also sensed the strangeness here, he began to call Jiang Yuan on the walkie-talkie, but Jiang Yuan did not respond, but Bai Yun sent us a message on it, it turned out that Dacheng had found Yu Xuewen and Jiang Yuan, and at this moment they had already made peace with Bai Yun above.
I immediately shouted into the intercom, "How did you get up?" β
Bai Yun's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "It was Dacheng who brought them up, and the exit is on the other side, about fifteen meters away from this hole." Hurry up, we'll be waiting for you here. β
I shone my flashlight on the gray-white slate around me. Suddenly a question came to mind and asked, "Dacheng." Is there anything special around where you guys go up? β
Bai Yun said: "Dacheng said, the place where they came up was full of silt, by the way, when you came up, you brought the Witch King Golden Bottle Stone Statue by the way." β
I looked at Qianjue, took off the walkie-talkie and said to him, "We're lost." β
He heard what Bai Yun said just now, and he was also staring at the front at this moment, his face was a little solemn, "Yes, we are clean and spotless here." It's not mud but slabs under our feet, boss, I think we have to go back the way we came, as long as we go back to the place where we fell, we will have a chance to go out along the hole we came into. β
"Okay, that's it, you turn on your headlights, you don't need to save electricity now, we have to go out as soon as possible." I'm very calm though. But I panicked in my heart, and I had an ominous premonition.
Qianjue turned on the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Yuan'er, the boss and I need to go back the same way." You are waiting for us at the entrance of the cave with ropes. β
Bai Yun replied, "It's okay, you guys hurry up." β
I was inexplicably angry in my heart, put on my headphones and shouted into the microphone: "Jiang Yuan." You kid is not dead, talk. β
Qian Jue smiled helplessly. Holding a flashlight to lead the way, we followed the path we came. Because we have been going straight and there are no turns, normally we will soon return to the place where I fell and follow all the way to the hole we just came down, but the problem is that we walked for a long time, and one intersection after another appeared in front of us, and I started to panic.
At this time, Jiang Yuan's voice came from the earphones, "What are you doing?" β
I snorted angrily, "Walk." β
Jiang Yuan turned off the radio on my side and switched to Qianjue's side, Qianjue handed me the headphones, and Jiang Yuan on the other side said, "Qianjue, where are you and why have you been here for so long." β
I returned the headphones to Qianjue, and slowly continued to walk forward with a flashlight alone, and Qianjue behind me said to Jiang Yuan as she walked: "We seem to be in trouble." β
"Tell me more about it." Jiang Yuan's tone was a little anxious.
I stopped and looked back at Qianjue, who deliberately turned on the public broadcast of the walkie-talkie so that I could hear Jiang Yuan's voice.
Qian Jue looked around with a flashlight, and said to Jiang Yuan: "The walls on both sides of the ground here are all gray-white stone slabs with carved lines, we have walked for a long time, and we have constantly encountered crossroads, and now we can't find the direction." β
Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Have you carefully observed the situation of the slate, and you know how to do this." β
Qianjue let out an "um" and continued: "Yuan'er, do you have an answer in your heart, what did we encounter?" β
Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice: "I'm not sure yet, you go and see the situation of the slate first, and then draw conclusions." β
Qianjue hung up the call line and began to carefully observe the situation of the slate, and I was on the side to help, observing these in fact, I am also very good at it, but I don't show off in front of Qianjue.
Suddenly, Qianjue's flashlight flashed twice, and then the engine went out and struck.
I hurriedly followed, under the flashlight, Qian Jue's face was a little pale, he slowly turned his head to look at me, and squeezed out word by word, "We may have met the Ghost Ten Formation." β
I blinked, not understanding what he meant, "What? Ghost Circle? β
Qian Jue picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground and replaced it with a backup battery, and the power was fully charged instantly, but it was only half an hour.
The flashlight was concentrated on a stone slab inlaid on the wall, and the intricate patterns made my eyes very tired, I lowered my head and pinched my eyebrows, and after a while, I looked again, and this time I felt better.
Qian Jue held up a flashlight and pointed it at me, "Boss, look at the lines on these stone slabs, will you never see the end." β
I didn't understand what he meant at first, until I stood a little away and looked at it, and suddenly I realized that from a distance, the lines on the stone slab were similar to the labyrinth of the world.
I stared at it for a while and said, "Sure enough, there is no end to it, no matter where I start from, the pursuit will be endless, there is no end at all." β
Qianjue changed a stone slab to observe, and sure enough, at my distance, it was still a maze, I tried to find it from a line, and followed this line to chase it all the way, but the result was still in vain, not only did not find the end of this line, but made my own eyes fall into a high degree of fatigue.
Jiang Yuan's voice came again, "Qianjue, how is it." β
Qian Jue leaned against the wall a little weakly, and his voice also revealed a kind of exhaustion, obviously when he observed the stone slab lines just now, he consumed a lot of physical strength to control his will, and he had to maintain the sharpness of his eyes with a high degree of concentration, which was very difficult to do.
"Yuan'er, let's go."
Jiang Yuan didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" β
Qian Jue sat very tired against the wall, I immediately rushed over to get the walkie-talkie, and said, "Yuan'er, we have met the ghost array, do you have a way to crack this kind of mechanism?" β
When Jiang Yuan heard my voice, he first paused, and then said lightly, "No." β
"That'sβ"
"Drip-Drip-Drip-Drip-"
"Hey, bastardβ"
The signal was interrupted, and I threw the walkie-talkie in anger and scolded: "This bastard boy, what the hell does he want to do?" β
Qian Jue opened her eyes and looked at the walkie-talkie that I threw aside, shook her head helplessly, and said: "If you break the walkie-talkie, we can't get out, the so-called ten absolutes, that is, ten deaths, it seems that the two of us are in a catastrophe." β
I stood up and raised my flashlight to look at the stone slab one by one, and said while looking at it: "What is ten deaths and no life, you kid don't spread these negative energy in front of Lao Tzu, you remember, no matter how powerful the mechanism is, the secret path is also man-made, and the wisdom of the ancients can be created, and the wisdom of our descendants can be cracked." β
Although I said it in a very imposing mouth, in fact, I had already begun to scold my mother in my heart. (To be continued.) )
