Chapter 34 Riding the Wind is Feasible
When we were frightened, we began to observe the stone chamber.
The stone chamber is a polygon that is almost circular and is almost circular because of the many sides. In addition to the one we entered, there were twelve other passages that spread out from this stone chamber. Each corridor is the same as the one we came, vaulted from beginning to end, but the rest of the corridor is not as wide as the one from which it came.
It's like twelve tributaries that converge here into one. It can also be said to be a ray of light, which is scattered here into twelve rays and shoots out.
There is nothing special in the stone room, but there are a lot of cobwebs, if you don't use your hands in front of you, it is estimated that after a few turns in this stone room, you will be entangled in cobwebs and can't walk.
The fat brother asked, "There are so many roads, which one shall we take?" â
His question happens to be the question in my heart, in this kind of underground tomb, there may be mechanisms and dangers all the time, cage trapping, fire, we have also experienced, if we choose the wrong way, the next test of us will definitely be more difficult than before.
As the saying goes, the big question of an exam paper is always at the end. So it's best to choose a paper that we are good at in the subject to do.
The most difficult thing now is to try to find clues from the clues of each road and continue walking. There were no signs of horses here, but there was a lot of spider silk, and I looked along the twelve paths, one of which had almost no spider silk in it, and the others were covered with spider silk as in the stone chamber.
I was just about to say my choice when I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.
Before we could dodge around the spider silk, we saw the four men with night vision devices running in. The visitor ignored us and just chose a path and walked in.
The last man, who seemed to have an injured arm, bandaged his arm as he ran, and before entering the corridor, he looked back at us and said, "Go." Then he walked away.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were more footsteps in the large corridor where we had run, accompanied by gunshots and cursing on the street.
I knew it was the bandits, so I motioned for everyone to leave quickly, originally the fat brother and they were about to follow the direction of the previous four, but I stopped them. "It doesn't matter if it's friend or foe, it's better to stay away from them." I whispered.
The others listened and agreed with me.
Yan Qiu asked a little anxiously: "Then which one do you say to go?" â
I pointed to the one with fewer cobwebs and said, "The one without cobwebs, go that one." â
It dawned on everyone that I had already observed a few paths. The choice of the one without cobwebs is obviously the most correct, not because there are no spiders, but because there are people who have passed, and the grave keeper will definitely clean the cobwebs on the road he has walked.
Sister Hua also gave me a thumbs up to express her praise for my carefulness.
Without further ado, we ran down the road into the darkness. After running for about two or three hundred meters, we came to a stone chamber.
This stone chamber is much smaller than the previous one, like a fork in the road, it is completely used to connect the fork in the road, it can hardly be called a room, counting the road we came over, there are a total of six paths leading to this intersection.
This makes us worried, there are so many roads, and we don't see any difference, is it just to make a six-by-twelve? Definitely not. So what is the designer designing this for? I really can't figure out why for a while. If we can't think of a reason, we can't continue to move forward, and if each path is designed with different mechanisms, wouldn't we have to taste all of them in order to find the right path?
I asked Yan Qiu, "Do you know which of the things related to Cao Cao mentions the number six?" â
Yan Qiu thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem to be particularly important, right?" Only Cao Cao's poem mentions that he rides six dragons and rides the wind. It seems to be talking about Cao Cao's travel, and I don't understand it very well, because it's not the point. Cao Cao is most famous for "Short Song Xing". â
A smart person is good at finding the huge mystery behind the small clues. I immediately turned all the crossings, and stood for a while in front of each one. Finally I found the right way and said to them, "Go this way." â
Everyone was puzzled and came to me to ask me why.
I said to them, "Cao Cao said, ride the six dragons and ride the wind." If these six roads are regarded as six dragons, then the windy one can be walked. I just felt it at every Yongdao crossing, and only that one had a wind blowing. â
The fat brother was a little unconvinced, so he said: "Six roads are six dragons riding the wind?" That's a coincidence, isn't it? Let's go through something else first, try it, and if there is indeed a problem, then prove your guess correct. With that, the fat brother walked towards one of them.
We were waiting for him outside the corridor.
The fat brother said as he walked inside, "Look, it's actually nothing. â
We didn't listen to him, but stared at the corridor with all our attention, afraid that something would happen to the fat brother. The result was good, the fat brother had just taken two steps into the road, and something seemed to be flying in front of the fat brother.
Zhao Tie's eyes were fast, and he pulled the fat brother out of the corridor with one hand.
A large arrow more than one meter long flew out of the fat brother's back, and with a buzzing sound, it was pierced on the stone wall opposite the Yongdao crossing. The strength is amazing, not to mention that it is very deep into the stone wall, and the tail of the arrow does not even tremble.
We stood close to the wall of Yongdaokou, at this time the fat brother was already soaked with cold sweat, his body was trembling, and his mouth kept chanting: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." â
It's really dangerous, if the fat brother goes a little deeper, the arrow will come over, unless you are lucky enough to dodge, otherwise even people will be nailed to the wall.
But soon, the theory of good luck doesn't make sense, because there is no zĂ i luck here. From that corridor, there were more than 30 arrows of that kind shot out of different heights, some of which were pierced into the wall, and some of which were shot into the opposite corridor. No matter how good your luck is, unless it's a bug, you will never survive.
After such a time, none of us dared to move anymore, our legs could not take a step at all, and all of us just stood against the wall, staring at each other, with our mouths growing, and we had no breath in or out.
Lu Shan slid down the wall, squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, and cried vigorously.
The arrows had stopped, but no one moved, or Zhao Tiesuo shouted to us: "It's okay, hey, we're all scared, right?" â
I just came back to my senses from the thrilling just now, punched the fat brother and scolded: "If you want to listen to me, you won't listen, and I will give you a shot again." Then the tears flowed.
The fat brother's body stiffened and punched me, there was no problem, maybe it was because he was so scared just now, his legs were weak, I punched down, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, let me scold him, his eyes were blank, and he looked up at me with his mouth open.
Sister Hua immediately went over, helped the fat brother up, and helped him smooth the air behind the fat brother's back with one hand, and did not say a word.
It took a long time for the fat brother to scream "ah", close his mouth, and then gasp for breath, accompanied by a crying humming sound.
We all sat in a row against the wall, and no one said a word, just looked at the ground under our feet, and it took about half an hour before we recovered.
Yan Qiu said: "Either follow what Zhan Xiao said, take the windy Yongdao." Either go back the way you came, think about it and go again. â
Walking back is tantamount to sending a gun to the muzzle, so I made the difficult decision to go: "Go, don't look back." â
In order not to let the danger expand, I decided to explore the path alone, which was an easy choice, but now it has become a life-and-death decision. After all, I chose the road, and it was natural for me to explore the way, but everyone still tried every possible way to block it. Zhao Tiesuo had to go to explore the way for me, and finally I was angry again, and everyone stopped talking.
I took Zhao Tiesuo's backpack, put it on my chest, and then held the flashlight in one hand, and walked into the corridor with difficulty, stopping and looking back at each step, because this was probably the last time I looked at everyone.
Everyone also gave me worried looks.
Fortunately, after walking more than half of the road, there was no danger, and my pace slowly accelerated, and it seemed that it was safe here. When I was about to reach the end, I noticed that there seemed to be something on the wall of the exit of the corridor.
By the faint light of the flashlight, I seemed to see a woman, lying on the wall, with only her face exposed, peeking at me.
