I finally understand a little bit in my heart now why the bamboo pole insists on the two of them going: first, there are many forks in the coffin, there are many people, and there are many opinions, and when the team is in chaos, everyone is bound to act separately, and it is naturally best to find Jinding, but most of them will end up in their own ways and trapped in the coffin; Second, he was also worried that he would not be able to get out of the way, so he tied me up to prevent the people outside from joining forces to fight back, and at that time, just a few of them in Waseda might not be able to be the opponent of Wang Puyuan and his party.

I said, "Since you've investigated so clearly, there should always be a way, right?" "Because we were wearing gas masks, we couldn't see each other's faces, but I always felt like he was glaring at me at the moment.

"Yes, yes, not reliable." He finished and walked on. I stopped him and said, "Although the class camp is different, I have a good idea of you in terms of professional knowledge. Since we've come in together and want to find out something, can you speak more directly? "If you want to talk about trust, I have absolutely nothing to him, but not cooperating at the moment is no different from waiting for death.

"Light, extinguished." He turned back to me and said this. I didn't understand what that meant, and he repeated, "Flashlight, turn it off." ”

I hesitated, but obediently extinguished the flashlight. The bamboo pole said seriously: "If you want to live, you can't light up at all, remember." With that, he put out the light in his hand with a snap. In the blink of an eye, we were plunged into endless darkness.

I don't know what he's doing this, but I've never heard of this way of finding a way. To prevent him from making any dangerous moves, I quietly moved my position and pressed my body in a straight line with the wall. In the dark, I only heard the sound of rustling fabrics, and I didn't know what this kid was doing. Soon, a glowing green light slowly brightened up in the darkness, and the bamboo pole held a piece of linen cloth in his hand, the cloth half-covered and half-concealed what was inside.

I asked, "Didn't you just say that you can't see the light?" He carefully held the luminous object in his hand and said, "It is the one who cannot see the light." "I leaned over to take a look, it was quite familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, and I thought about it, isn't this the half of the phoenix arm entrusted by Master Yu? But I immediately realized that the half in front of me was different from what I had given to Shirley Young. The bamboo pole seemed to be disappointed, and silently turned around and said: "There is a lot of resonance between the spiritual objects, this phoenix arm has been separated from the mother body for hundreds of years, and now it is all relying on it to guide the way." ”

The tone of his voice was quite helpless, and it seemed that he had been forced to a dead end to come up with such a non-reluctant solution, and at the same time realized that he had deliberately sold a pass. He didn't say that he would lead the way with the phoenix arm, but suddenly took out something to test my reaction, if the phoenix arm was hidden on me at that time, I would definitely subconsciously look for it, and he could take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, I can't help but be glad that I handed over the phoenix arm to Shirley Yang for safekeeping in advance.

Regarding the phoenix arm that Master Yu desperately snatched in his hand, I have never had a chance to study it well, and before he died, he repeatedly told him not to uncover the sackcloth. Right now, the bamboo pole is holding the genuine product in my hand, and I can't help but lean in and take a closer look. When he saw me probing, he simply handed over the things. I didn't expect him to be able to deliver the key to the enemy so easily, and it always smacked of conspiracy.

When he saw that I didn't answer, he made a gesture to take it back, and I hurriedly grabbed the sackcloth bag. Anyway, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and if he really wants to poison me, he has to wait until he finds the golden tripod, at least now we are still allies.

I learned some news about the Qin King Jin Ding from Professor Li, Master Yu and Wang Puyuan, and I knew that this Ding was made by imitating the Miaodi Ancient Ding, which was intended to refine immortal medicine. After a few laps, the phoenix arm on the ding and the golden dragon of the Qin people traveled overseas one after another. Half of it has been kept in the palace, and later it was lost to the tomb of the mother and became a funerary object, and is now hidden by Shirley Young; The other half became Wang Puyuan's collection many years ago; As for the golden dragon, it was buried in the submarine tomb.

Before his death, Master Yu repeatedly told the phoenix arm not to see light, and I only regarded it as a superstitious legend. But the bamboo pole had just ordered me to extinguish all the lights, and it seemed that there were secrets in it that I didn't know. I carefully observed the phoenix arm in my hand, the object is not large, the whole body is in the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings, the same style as Qin Long, the tail of the phoenix has an unknown pattern, and the overall size is equivalent to an ordinary ancient book bound by threads. Looking at it this way, the volume of the golden tripod itself will not be so large, far from what I imagined in advance. If there is anything special about the phoenix arm, it must be said that the light emanating from its body at this moment. Beams of light emanated from within, casting a hazy glow in the air, a bit like summer fireflies, without any temperature to the touch.

Professor Li once introduced that the golden tripod is made by fusing and refining the nine tripods of King Zhou, but I have never heard of any metal that can emit light on its own. I can't help but be full of curiosity about the phoenix arm in my hand.

"Hurry up, the phoenix arm has a limited time, and once it is exposed to the air, it is equivalent to directly consuming its lifespan." After the bamboo pole finished speaking, he reached out and snatched the burlap bag back. I didn't know that there was such a statement, so I hurriedly asked, "What happens if it takes a long time?" ”

"No one has seen what it will look like. Why, you didn't hide that half? ”

When he came up, he took my words, so I naturally couldn't be fooled, so I smiled and said, "No problem, I'm just curious." ”

The phoenix arm is bright and dark in the dark, and the bamboo pole constantly changes the direction of travel along the peak difference between light and dark. I reckon the closer this thing gets to the mother, the brighter it shines, but I don't know why the bamboo pole didn't take it out in the first place if it really looked so good. Could it really be as he said, once exposed to the air, the phoenix arm itself will cause immeasurable damage?

We groped in the dark coffin the whole time, relying on the light from the phoenix arm to quickly move towards the final goal. I glanced at the zippers on my pants and kept carving marks into the walls along the way. First, if Shirley Yang and the others can subdue the archaeological team outside, they will inevitably enter the coffin and come to me; Second, no matter whether I can find Jinding or not, I must leave a way out for myself. Fortunately, the bamboo pole was focused on distinguishing the road and did not pay attention to my small movements. I counted it carefully, from the moment I entered the coffin just now, we have successively passed a total of four coffin wooden walls, not to mention the whereabouts of the golden tripod, not even half of the Ming artifact has been found. I am even more sure that the owner of the tomb was not an ordinary Ming Dynasty concubine, but more like an ancient safe buried underground, covering up unknown secrets with loess and coffins.

The bamboo pole suddenly stopped walking, and when I took a closer look, the light of the phoenix arm was slowly fading.

"The wrong way?"

He shook his head and said, "I can't hold it anymore." The phoenix arm is too badly worn. If it goes on like this, if you don't find the golden tripod, it will be broken first. As he spoke, he wrapped the gradually dimming phoenix arm again. We turned on the flashlight at the same time, he took off his mask, sweating profusely, and said, "The rest of the way is on our own." ”

I had long been suffocated by the gas mask, and I couldn't care so much about it at this time, so I simply removed the mask together. I don't know if it's because I'm used to the surrounding environment, and when I breathe the air in the coffin directly, I don't have the burning sensation that I was about to burn at the beginning. I thought about it, took out the rope in my bag, and said, "Let's go separately and make a mark where you are, so that you won't find the way back." ”

The bamboo pole shook his head and said: "I said a long time ago that this is useless, walking separately will only get more and more chaotic, and we must think of other ways." ”

It had been ten minutes since we entered the coffin, and I was in no mood to wait for him to come up with some ideas, and I was in the mood to wait for him to come up with some ideas. I dropped the rope and said, "We'll drown when you come up with an idea." That's the way, if you like to go or not, don't drag Lao Tzu back. ”

"I never do something I'm not sure of."

I didn't bother to explain to him that there was nothing in the world that could be 100% successful, and he didn't dare to come out to rob the tomb without any sense of risk. I now feel more and more that this man is not only conceited, but also stupid, and that he has not read Marx's thought properly. I ignored him, turned and walked away. He probably knew that he couldn't solve the problem by waiting to die, so he could only pick up the rope and follow.

I said, "If you realize the problem earlier, you're wasting everyone's time." He opened his mouth to say something, and all of a sudden, the flashlights in the hands of the two of us began to squeak, and I looked down to see it, and I heard a bang, and the two flashlights stopped almost simultaneously.
