Chapter 21: That Thing

"Slow down." Shen Qiming suddenly turned around, pulled my forehead hair and nodded at the center of my eyebrows. Sour and numb, I busied myself to dodge and scold him for being neurotic. But he told me not to speak, and he twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while: "You just said that you saw a shadow?" That may not be a shadow. ”

"Yes......"

"It's that thing!"

OMG!

At this moment, I had the urge to recite the Buddha, but I didn't believe in the Buddha, and the Buddha's light couldn't shine on me. I thought of King Jianglong, and chanted a few times: "Xiangrui Imperial Exemption." "Local religion, the county official is not as good as the current management.

In any case, we are already here, and there is no reason to go back halfway. As soon as my heart crossed, I lifted my legs and stepped into the waterway of the underground space.

To my surprise, the ground beneath my feet was almost level with the coffin. So much so that I squatted in and stood up before the water reached my legs. Of course, Shen Qiming is almost out of knees, and he doesn't have to worry about being swept away by the current, so he can't help but be happy.

At this time, the light was shining upward, and the straight beam illuminated a very high, very high top, and the light of the flashlight was only a large round spot at the bottom of the bottle. The current position is half wider than the section of road that Mr. Fu and they walked, but compared to the longitudinal height, it still seems narrow and oppressive.

Compared to the hanging animals I had feared, this place is not so frightening. Although I can't see the whole picture clearly, the part I see is only the arched top of the blue bricks, on which there are black symbol-like lines stacked one by one, and the scalp is numb to see.

"That's why I said that Mr. Fu is stupid." Shen Qiming explained: "Those above are incantations, which control the balance of the channel. ”

"Which? Is it a pressure difference or a ......"

He quickly replied, "I don't know." "Wade through the water and go the other way.

The entire passage is raised and widened in steps, and is currently the second level, and there should be a stone gate between the real destination. At first, we didn't find anything, so we thought it was a sewer, and our hearts were a lot more relaxed.

One of us leaned aside, wading cautiously through the water. Just a few steps away, I kicked something, like a round rumbling jar. Shen Qiming was careful and hurriedly ran over. The sound of ticking water, he fished something out. I just glanced at it and quickly put it down.

"Bad luck!"

"What?" I wanted to go over and take a look, but I was not paying attention and almost tripped over my feet. The thing sank and "gurgled" up, I was curious, the flashlight shone through, it was a gray jar......

Shen Qiming shook his hand and said with disgust: "The ash altar." ”

I don't believe it, when the Bai family moved out thirty years ago, there was no cremation, even if the leaves are falling, they shouldn't have chosen the tomb in this water-filled hole, right?

There is a big difference between the ash jar and the pickle jar, and this one can be seen at a glance with a dead breath. The gray-white jar was a little rough, and a yellow silk rune paper was tied with hemp rope on both sides at the mouth of the altar. The runes of the cinnabar were soaked in water, and I could neither read nor understand them.

"Do you want to ...... or not"

He half-crouched down to check the stagnant water, only to find that there were more than a dozen such jars under the water. Facing the wellhead, in the middle of the passage, some of them fell, but some of them did not break. All these regular arrangements are like formations

"Put it down! Put it where it is! ”

He suddenly burst out of his voice, and I realized that things were not good, and the more I dared not act rashly. The water beneath his feet was dark and deadly, and he couldn't tell where he had just fished the jar. I was still looking for a place with a flashlight in my right hand, and suddenly there was an itch in my back, and I was still holding the jar with my left hand.

The slender jar slid down the placket of my clothes, and my hands were empty, but I had no ability to react.

I have to say that Shen Qiming is clever, and he snatched the jar in his hand and suspended it on the water. I was in a cold sweat from this change, and my damn back didn't itch anymore.

He carefully put the jar into the water little by little, stood up slowly at first hand, and sighed and was frightened.

"Is this where it is?"

"......" He stiffened, slowly raised his head to look at me, and I looked at him speechlessly. The two of us are a pair of fools at this moment.

I pulled him to my side, and two flashlights shone at the jars. On the right-hand side is a gray and yellow gate, under which a dozen or so altars are placed as sacrifices. Forming a very strange formation, I have to say something like, from our current point of view, like Roman numerals: VI.

Looking at it this way, the one I picked up just now was indeed misplaced, and at the tip of the V-shape, it was put closer by Shen Qiming and became a W.

Shen Qiming took a few steps back, her back pressed against the wall, and she seemed to be quite afraid of these ashes.

"It's six, do you know what it means to be six?"

Originally, he was in the same space as the ashes, and he said such sensational words, and I really couldn't answer for a while. He was a very knowledgeable family, and he had done a lot of homework before he came, and after thinking for a while, he came up with a terrible fact: in his family, six was a very ominous number, representing a disobedience.

"Kuiwei?" I don't know: "Are you saying that these friends were all tall when they were alive?" ”

He pulled me and tried to retreat, but the space was cramped, and there was no room for it. I held him down and asked him to explain clearly, no matter what, we are two big living people, and it would be too embarrassing to be scared back by a few columbariums.

"Tell me quickly, are you trying to kill me in a hurry?"

Hearing me ask, he finally stopped a little, and let out two hums, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. Unconsciously grabbed the stainless steel buckle of the mountaineering rope around his waist, and took several deep breaths before saying to me: "Look behind me, is the passage still there?" ”

As soon as I pushed him away and took a flashlight, the place where the coffin should have been turned into a concrete wall!

This is not scientific, in just ten minutes, the two of us almost did not change positions. I couldn't figure out what was going on, my palm against the wall, cold and slippery, completely original. The problem is that you haven't heard any sound.

I flexed my knuckles to knock, but I didn't hear the slightest hollow sound except for the pain of my hand.

Missed the seizure?

"There's UFOs here, are they people or ...... So what? ”

He kept the position of being pushed aside by me, looked up and stared at me, and didn't let out a fart. When I saw his confession, my fear went a little away. It's all come to this point, and at least one of the two of us has to come up with an idea. It's all messed up, but I really can't get out.

I searched back and forth a few times, and even the gate was touched, but I found nothing. His hand groped for his belt and grabbed the rope.

I saw that I understood, didn't I hit a nail at the mouth of the passage before? One end of the climbing rope hangs there, can't you find it back by holding the rope?

Standing firmly, I grabbed the rope and looked for it, not thinking how long it was. I walked for a long time without seeing an end, and when I looked up, it was dark to the left and right, and I really didn't know where I was if I didn't have this rope in my hand.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt terrible, but I still didn't want to. I finally paralyzed myself and continued to move forward, not paying attention, and my head was firmly bumped into a soft thing.

What's that? It didn't look very solid, and I felt like I was going to fall when I hit it. The sound of water rattled twice, and I hurriedly turned on my flashlight to take a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

Shen Qiming clutched her stomachache and bared her teeth: "Why did you find it again?" ”
