Chapter Ninety-One: Flowing Fire
When the old ghost and Qian Cheng heard me say this, they immediately understood what I meant, and hurriedly began to knock on the wall with their hands. The three of us knocked on the wall together to see if there were any suspicious tiles around. However, the three men knocked almost every brick in the burial chamber, and there was no hollow structure as we expected.
This result was really something we didn't expect, and all three of us couldn't help but feel a little unspeakably frustrated.
At this moment, I heard a 'fluttering' sound, and the fire oil flowed directly to the remaining sparks that had just exploded. In less than a second, it immediately burst into flames. I don't know what the composition of the oil is, but I saw that the sparks were far away, and a raging fire suddenly ignited.
Seeing such a scene, the three of us shouted in our hearts, it seems that this time it is more auspicious. It is impossible to turn back, and the current situation is that if you want to move forward, you can't move forward, and if you want to retreat, there is no way back. There is only one truth in front of us: only waiting for death, waiting to be buried in the fire. We are like prey trapped in a cage, waiting for death to come.
Until this moment, I couldn't calm down anymore, and the mood I had just packed up collapsed in an instant at this moment. The thought that we were about to return to the West made me feel very depressed. We could only watch the fire in front of us grow bigger and bigger, but there was nothing we could do.
In a fit of rage, I threw the torch in my hand to the ground and scolded, "What a bad thing, brothers, accept this reality." We have come to the end of our day, and I am honored to be with you. Wait......"
As soon as I said the words, I felt that something was wrong. The moment the torch in my hand hit the ground, it didn't seem right to me. It's just a matter of a moment, but. I still hear something unusual. This sound is definitely not the normal "tuk-tuk" sound of a physical touch, but a particularly hollow-sounding sound.
Without waiting for the old ghosts to react, I quickly squatted down to check. The old ghost and Qian Cheng didn't understand my actions at first, but when they saw me stomping the ground with my feet, they immediately understood. Just like me, I stomped the ground with my feet.
At this time, I could only hear a very hollow sound of "Bang Bang" under my feet. It is in stark contrast to the sound of "tuk tuk" under the feet of the old ghosts. On closer inspection, sure enough, the gap in the stone brick under my feet was relatively large. See this scene. Where can I still think, I just lowered my head and picked at the crack in the stone, trying to lift the slate. However, my power alone is limited after all.
The old ghost and Qian Cheng also heard the abnormality. And he walked up to me. Join me in picking at the slab. The three of them used all their strength to slowly lift the stone. When the old ghost and I saw that there was a gap between the stone and the ground, we didn't care if our hands and feet were in pain, so we hurriedly shoved our feet into it. This is done because there is nothing else at hand, and at this time, there is definitely no way to let go and find the mat object. I only used my own feet to pad, and I didn't think about whether I would get hurt at all.
Human potential is unlimited, see there are gaps. The strength of the three of us seems to have suddenly risen by three points. I shouted, and the three of them worked together. He lifted up the slate. In this way, we found that there were some stone steps leading to the bottom. The steps look very old, as if no one has stepped on them in years.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the three of us didn't care about any danger or not, so we rushed in together. Qian Cheng's eyes were quick, and when he was about to enter the cave, he picked up a torch from the ground that had just been put down and had not been extinguished. Immediately, the dimly lit stone chamber was illuminated, a narrow passage that led in no known direction.
At this time, the flames behind him actually flickered and "chased" towards us. The three of us have no time to have any scruples, so we can only move forward. Could this be the legendary "Flowing Fire"? Sure enough, this posture is like having eyes, coming straight to our heels. We barely had time to dodge, and we were almost burned by the flames. At this critical moment, a sound of "Zi Hao" was heard, and the flames that rushed over were extinguished by a burst of water.
When Qian Cheng and I saw this scene, we hurriedly raised our eyes to check. As a result, it was the old ghost who was lifting his pants and said, "Ah, it's so cool!" Lao Tzu is about to suffocate to death, this pee is cool enough! ”
Seeing this scene, Qian Chengzhen and I were so angry and funny that we shook our heads. Before this, the old ghost had already tried this trick, and it was really tried and tested. At such a time, there is really no other way than this method. The old ghost also shamelessly said that this is "doing one's best and obeying the destiny of heaven", which is also the most primitive method. Whether from the perspective of ease of learning or from the moral aspect, there is nothing to deny.
We heard the old ghost say this, and we did not deny it, and walked forward. I don't know if it's because the old ghost's urine output is too small, or because the fire outside is too strong. The flame actually crossed the place where the old ghost had just peed and "chased" directly after us. At first, we didn't notice it, until a fire came from behind us, burning the heat behind us, and then we realized the danger behind us. The three of them hurriedly jumped away, so they were not injured by the flames.
The flame did not come directly from us, as expected, but rushed straight past us. Strange to say, what kind of mechanism is this? The flame continued all the way, rushing straight ahead, forming a "fire dragon" that meandered and circled.
Seeing such a strange scene, the three of us could no longer control the curiosity in our hearts, and followed the flame and chased after it.
Almost in less than a minute, we were left behind by the rapidly advancing flames. That's a good thing. Because this continuous flame has invisibly lit the way for us to go. Whether we can get out or not, there is no road behind us anyway, and we can only follow the flames to move forward.
This is also a fortunate thing, because it can at least show one thing: since it can catch fire, it means that there is still air ahead. As long as there is air, we still have a way to live, and if there is a way to live, we should go on. Without much thought, the three of us followed the flames along the way.
The chase came to a narrow hole, and the three of us stopped. The three of them looked at each other, looked at each other, understood each other, and decided to follow the flames into the cave. So, the three of them drilled hard into the narrow hole. (To be continued......)
