Chapter 40: The Hanging Staircase

This illustrates one thing, and when I think of this, my legs start to tremble uncontrollably: we are walking on a single-plank bridge, and there may be an abyss on both sides.

"Hey, the end." The fat man at the front suddenly stopped and shouted, "No", he had been walking carefully with his head down, so the miner's lamp didn't find a little farther away, and now he saw the bottom, and when he looked up, he saw the diagonal top, "How can there be an upward staircase here?" ”

"Surely this is the way out," the monkey looked over.

"It's not like it, it's pitch black and something seems to be in the way, and it's only this height, I guess this path should lead to a tomb, but why is this tomb so hidden?" The fat man said that he wanted to turn his head and ask the big head's opinion, but the light of the miner's lamp on his head accidentally slipped over the right side of the bluestone staircase, and just like that, several of us saw a lot of white bones piled up below. And realize that until now, you are walking on a single-plank bridge.

"Holy shit, this is a mass grave." The fat man scolded, and the light slowly moved forward, and in order to better see the situation below, several of us also shone the miner's lamp downward.

"There's a huge building there." The smoker was not afraid of death and lit a cigarette.

I looked at the place where the smoke ghost lamp was shining. Sure enough, the soil was much higher than normal, and when the light shone a little in front of the bones beneath our feet, I seemed to see a stone door.

"Everyone, how do you feel like an ancient tomb down here?"

As soon as I finished saying this, I suddenly caught a fleeting flashlight beam out of the corner of my eye, and following the beam, I immediately looked at the center of this ancient tomb buried nearly forty or fifty meters underground, yes, I read it right, the light of the flashlight appeared again.

"Look, there's someone down there!" I gestured to them to look at where the flashlight appeared, not realizing that gesturing was useless in the darkness.

"Mosquito, you're blind again, you can still see people when you're so far away? What's more, who has nothing to do and runs down there to do something? ”

"Don't worry, look closely."

Suddenly, a flashlight beam swayed towards us, and it was supposed to be the miner's light that caught the attention of someone inside. However, this time everyone finally saw it.

"Damn, there are really people, so to speak, there is really an ancient tomb underneath, and there are tomb robbers who have already taken the lead?" The fat man hated it so much, "Don't take out all the treasures." As he spoke, he shouted to the big head, "What's the matter, it doesn't look that high, let's all carry ropes, let's go down." ”

The big head silently gathered the light on the bluestone staircase that was obliquely upward, and thought about it for a moment, "The ancient tomb is not in a hurry in advance, it is obvious that the core of the entire tomb just walked is diagonally above, if you don't go to the bottom, how can you do it." After speaking, the big head added, "Maybe, all the treasures are hidden there." ”

"Really." The fat man expected to fall for the trick easily, "Then don't rub it, I'll lead the way, you don't have to hold on to the taro, your ointment is very effective, the ankle doesn't hurt much, it's still okay to walk." ”

I looked at him with a big grin and hurriedly reminded, "Be careful, if you fall, you'll be doomed." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured."

It's no wonder that you can rest assured.

After a while, the fat man left us far away, and climbed to the top of the bluestone stairs by himself, and the top of his head was pitch black, as if he had reached the end, only to see him raise his hands, trying to push the things on his head away, "click" twice, and the push seemed to have some effect, but unfortunately it could not be fully opened. By this time we had already followed.

"Smoker. Come and help, I can't push it alone. ”

The width of this staircase is limited, so there is no problem to accommodate one person, but if you want to have two people next to side, I am afraid it will be enough. The smoker looked down and estimated the width, and thought that there should be no problem, so he walked up to the fat man, and stood side by side, both of their feet almost on the edge, and I couldn't help but shudder as I watched from behind.

Under the full force of the two of them, a series of 'click' sounds sounded, and then the entire dark board above their heads was overturned by them, smashing out a "bang" sound.

Seeing that there was an entrance, the fat man took a few small steps upward, stretched half of his body in, and shone around with a miner's lamp to confirm that there was no danger before he climbed in and beckoned us to come in quickly.

"Big head, you're playing tricks on me again, what's the treasure in here, it's just an empty room." After the fat man entered, the first thing he did was to wander around looking for a mountain of treasures, but the area of this room was not large, and the six of us stood in it, all of which seemed a little cramped, probably about the same size as a bedroom in an ordinary family, and it didn't take a few minutes to walk around.

"Don't worry, let me take a look."

In the small room, the light of the six people was reflected by the stone wall, which was quite bright, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing special about this room, it was empty and covered with dust.

When the big man entered the room, he began to look up and down, left and right, and we saw that he was busy, so we had to stand to the side, and the fat man's head swayed back and forth with the movement of the big head.

After a long time, he suddenly smiled proudly and said, "No matter who built this whole showroom, it is really resourceful, such a small room separated by such a distance, they have put a lot of thought into camouflage,"

"Come, you see, when we go up the stairs to look at this room, is it a long distance, and if we stand in this and look at it, the right side of this opening will soon reach the wall. That's where their brilliance comes in, the two-story wall. ”

With that, he walked to the wall not far from the entrance, took out a steel cone, slammed it in, knocked out a brick, and bent randomly so that the light of the miner's lamp could shine in. "Sure enough, there's a bunch of walls in there."

"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and knock this broken wall down. These people are really bad, they actually play yin. ”

"Wait." The smoker hurriedly walked over, "Don't knock randomly, this wall is a load-bearing wall, you don't know the rules, if you knock randomly, the roof will collapse immediately if it loses its weight, and everyone will be stoned to death." You see how big the bricks are used for this roof, and that's the purpose. Get out of the way, I'll come. "Knowing this powerful relationship, who would dare to meddle rashly, so he had to let the smoker perform alone. When we stood up, he lit a cigarette unhurriedly, starting from the brick knocked out by the big head, carefully pumping out one brick after another, until the opening became bigger and bigger, and it was enough for a cat's waist to enter, and then he stopped and said to us, "The design of this load-bearing wall is a bit strange, as if it is not allowed to enter the inner layer at all, and now such a hole is already large to the limit, and there is a danger of collapse at any time." ”
