Chapter 24: The End of the Story
The smoke man and the fat man looked for the entrance to the cave, but when the fat man was about to enter the cave to investigate, he was suddenly dragged by Fang Lao, and then said with a slightly solemn expression, "There is a voice in the cave." β
The fat man immediately stared at the hole in front of him, and after a while he heard a loud noise. From the swarthy hole, from far to near, and then a black shadow fell from the hole, and a lot of things flew on his body, the fat man subconsciously wanted to stretch out his feet and kick the black shadow, his legs had been stretched out in the air, and he stopped suddenly, and then with tears in his eyes, he excitedly picked up the black shadow on the ground.
This is the picture of my reunion with the fat man and others, when I was covered in blood I was already unconscious, and then Luo Dabeard also fell in, and then from the dark hole, a large number of sharp-toothed toads gushed out like a tide, Luo Dabeard beckoned everyone to run, and they carried me and Yue'er, who were unconscious, and ran back again. The winding passage effectively slowed down the pursuit of a large number of sharp-toothed toads, and everyone was lucky enough to run back to the burial chamber where the three coffins were placed, and closed the stone door to block the sharp-toothed toads from the outside. However, the passage that was supposed to go out was blocked hopelessly.
After listening to them tell the story of the before and after, I first expressed my gratitude to the cigarette man, thanking him for saving me many times, and the cigarette man said to me very freely: "Don't take it to heart." "I can clearly see that his attitude towards the fat man and me is different, it is estimated that the fat man always causes trouble, so that he is already tired and big, to be honest, ordinary people really can't stand the fat man's personality like a wild horse.
Now except for the master and the smoke man, everyone else is in good shape, and the injuries are not light, especially me, as soon as I move, the bones all over my body seem to be falling apart. I asked the cigarette man: "Is it better to call you Brother Smoke in the future, or call you Brother Yang?" β
The cigarette man coolly replied "whatever". I asked him again, "Is it now that you can't go out of the tomb?" What about the other directions? "To the south is the direction where we just ran in, and to the north is the dark room where the fat man came down before, and the dark room is still quietly guarded there with the door open.
Yan Nan nodded first, and then said: "I have also checked the east and west directions, but I don't see any doorways, it seems that I have to trouble you and Fang Lao to go over and see if you can gain something." β
I endured the pain and discomfort all over my body, stood up and said, "This is how it should be." Master, please go with your apprentice and find a way to get out. β
Master stroked his beard, stood up and stretched out his hand to support me, and I hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I can walk by myself." β
Luo Dabeard and the three monkeys stayed where they were and looked at Yue'er, I turned my head to look at the three coffins lying on the ground, and then walked towards the east closest to the coffin. Every step I took, my whole body was in pain as if I was going to be torn apart, and I really couldn't maintain the usual smile on my face anymore, the fat man immediately saw that something was wrong with me, he walked to me, supported me, and said with concern: "Lao Zheng, are you okay?" β
I smiled reluctantly, my expression was probably more ugly than crying, but I still said stiffly: "It's okay, I can't die for a while, and if I don't save Yue'er, I won't be willing to die." β
After listening to me, the fat man's mood became much heavier, and he didn't say anything, silently helping me forward. It was not a long distance, but because everyone tacitly slowed down and cooperated with me, I ended up walking for half a day to reach the end of the tomb road on the east side. I groped for the stone wall in front of me, and looked closely, and there was indeed a carved grass pattern on it, and there was nothing wrong with the east here.
The stone wall in front of him was tightly sealed, impermeable, and there were no buttons in sight, and there were no special signs. I shifted my gaze to the stone walls up and down, left and right, the ground was very solid, and I stomped my feet hard, but there was no hollow sound, and there was no sign of movement of the entire stone slab. The same is true of the stone slab on the top of the tomb, I looked at the stone wall on the left, there is a stone wall ornament I saw in the underground palace, that is, there is no head of the "Xingtian Dance Ganwei" carving, I did not expect this strange and evil ornament to appear on the stone wall of the tomb here.
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the tomb here, I dragged my heavy body again, limped to the opposite tomb, that is, the tomb on the west side, and then looked at the narrow tomb road carefully up and down, left and right, back and forth, but I still didn't see any problems, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the master beside me, only to see that he was also at a loss to shake his head, and it seemed that there was nothing to discover.
Everyone had no choice but to walk back to the center of the tomb, and Luo Bearded looked at us with a gloomy face, knowing that we had not found a way out, so he didn't ask anything. The monkey sitting next to him asked, "Have you found your way out?" β
I secretly thought in my heart, this tomb has four openings, one in the north-south direction is the entrance to enter, and the other is the exit to go out, and the east-west direction should also be the same, otherwise why dig two more tomb passages? If it is for the sake of aesthetics, it would be good to build two ear chambers directly, which will save time and effort. But I thought about it, maybe I was too naΓ―ve, and the strange and abnormal underground tomb could not be understood with ordinary thinking, so I would be too underestimate the mausoleum full of mysteries and mysteries!
Seeing that we didn't speak, the monkey said mysteriously on the side: "I think the mechanism for going out must be hidden in the two coffins that have not yet been opened." After speaking, he tilted his head sideways, and a pair of small eyes rolled up and down the three coffins.
The fat man sitting next to him completely agreed with the monkey's statement, and nodded his head next to him and said, "I think so too." β
After listening to this, I said to the fat man angrily: "The things you agree with are definitely not a good thing, you can stop honestly for a while, and you can go up there and stay where it is cool." β
Hearing the idea of the fat man and the monkey beating the other two coffins, the cigarette man who was sitting on the side with a cigarette in his mouth and silently said coldly: "The coffin can't be opened." The smoke man said these words, as if wrapped in ice, so that the listener couldn't help but feel a chill.
The fat man ignored the cigarette man who spoke, but looked at me with straight eyes, I knew that he was waiting for me to give his opinion, as long as I nodded in agreement, he would absolutely ignore anyone's obstruction and open the coffin. I looked at the smoke man with a frosty face and a resolute tone, and my heart was also hesitant. It stands to reason that if there are no exits in the tomb passages on the east and west sides, the most suspicious place left is the remaining two coffins. But the smoke man's attitude is very tough, he will not insist on being positive for no reason, then the remaining two coffins must be in great danger, and it is best not to touch it as a last resort. But for a while I couldn't think of another way out, and if I stayed in this dim and unclear tomb with many organs, there would be a problem if it went on and on, and everyone would have to explain it here. I can't help but start weighing the pros and cons and expediency in my mind. At this time, the monkey on the side suddenly asked the smoke man: "Brother smoke man, why can't you open those two coffins?" You've got to give a reason so that everyone has a good idea. β
After listening to the monkey's words, everyone looked at the smoke man in unison, waiting for him to give an answer. As a result, the cigarette man ignored us, tilted his head, held a cigarette in his mouth, and looked indifferently at the coffin not far away, completely treating us as air.
Seeing the cold and arrogant appearance of the smoke man, a wave of anger rose, and his mind was now full of thoughts about taking Yue'er out for treatment, and any possibility that Sesame could go out was particularly important to him. Seeing the smoke man's unhurried and indifferent attitude, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano. Rubbing up from the ground, he pointed at the cigarette man's nose and scolded: "You have been smoking since you entered this tomb (Northeast dialect: nothing to do, idle and crazy, mental attitude has changed greatly. ), hot and cold, fat man, I've had enough of you a long time ago. Today, you will explain to me clearly why these two coffins cannot be opened, and if you can't give a reason for serving the public, you will stop me from opening the coffin. β
The smoke man still looked coldly at the coffin in the distance, ignoring the fat man who was threatening. The fat man's eyes were about to breathe fire, and the monkey who was standing on the side was not afraid of things also supported the fat man, waving the flag and shouting to cheer for the fat man, as if only the fat man couldn't help but do it, and he also had to follow the fat man's desperate posture. I saw the fat man's tense erection, the headache became more and more intense, just like there were countless ants in my head biting, and my eyes were like a thin film, I couldn't see the things around me clearly, I knew that this was the Gu poison left in the body, and I wanted to force my spirit to open my mouth to admonish the fat man, but I couldn't open my mouth to speak. In an instant, his body became light, and the surroundings began to become blurred, and in the haze, he seemed to hear the master scolding the fat man for fooling around. Then, with a thud in my ears, my head sank, and I fell straight back to the ground, and I saw everyone anxiously surrounding me, and then my eyes were black and unconscious.
I felt my body floating gently in the air, and I wanted to put my feet on the ground, but I couldn't do anything, so I floated in the air without a sense of gravity, and I couldn't see anything around me except the white mist. I don't know how long I floated in this chaos, but I suddenly heard the voice of an old man who was extremely vicissitudes, and kept repeating it: "Seven and a half pieces, end to end, ancient secret techniques in between; Graves are born, people love ghosts, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals; Half of yin, half of yang, this life wanders the two worlds; Whether you live or die, the thousand-year-old dream is shattered. β
Who? Whose voice was so familiar touched the soul of my soul deeply, making it throb inexplicably. I silently recited these words in my heart over and over again, thinking about what these words meant.
As a result, the sound suddenly stopped, and then the white mist around began to dissipate rapidly, and instead of appearing in front of him, a black vortex appeared, inexplicably Tang Wu. The black vortex kept spinning and gradually getting bigger, and my fluttering body was sucked in without any struggle, and was swept into the darkness.
