Chapter 36: The Secret Path
The old ghost saw that Lisa was really angry, so he hurriedly apologized and said, "Political Commissar Wu, don't be angry!" Am I not here to relax everyone? In such an environment, if you make the atmosphere so tense, you won't let people live, don't you say? Besides, you originally had a good face that was shy of the moon, and this anger is not good-looking. ,.”
Seeing Lisa angry, I naturally couldn't hold it on my face, and I started this thing. At this moment, seeing that the old ghost was paying compensation to Lisa, he also said smoothly: "Yes, Political Commissar Wu, you are the command center of our army." You can't be in a bad mood! If you are in a bad mood, our military will be in chaos, and then you won't be able to eat and walk away! ”
Lisa was not so angry when she saw that we both apologized to her. When she raised her head and was about to say something to us, suddenly, her face turned white! As soon as he shouted, he covered his mouth.
Seeing Lisa's reaction, I knew what was going on and knew there must be something behind us. The old ghost is not stupid, and naturally knows what is going on. The two of us still had a tacit understanding as usual, and neither of us looked back, just stood quietly on the spot.
My body didn't move, but my hand instinctively touched the cross on my chest. As soon as I grasped it, I threw the cross behind me. I heard a "ah~" behind me, and then it was like meat sticking to a red-hot iron plate, making a sound of "ah, ah".
There was an immediate stench from the end of the nose, like the smell of rotten meat being burned, which made people feel disgusting. Feeling that there was no one behind him, he immediately shouted to the old ghost and Lisa, "Run!" ”
The three of us immediately looked like wild horses on the loose. It's blazing fast. In a hurry, I picked up a crystal and dodged forward. I just wanted to get the other piece again, but the old ghost started first. This crystal was just so cold that it couldn't be approached at all. But after a while, it is already possible to hold it by hand.
"Yo, Captain Shi, your hands are fast enough!" I joked about the old ghost.
"You're not an idle person!" The old ghost said to me.
"Hahahaha......" We all laughed.
Now that you've got the crystal stone, what's there to stay? "Thirty-six plans to go for the upper plan", escape!
The three of us together. Immediately run towards the staircase from which you came. But. When we came to the staircase, we found that the original staircase had been sealed for some time! There was no way out for a while, and the three of us were like ants on a hot pot. It's so anxious that it's all around.
As a last resort. We turned back to where we had put the crystals.
"We're going to die this time!" The old ghost said angrily. "What a bad luck! Why are we so unlucky? ”
Lisa looked at the old ghost's face, glanced at him, and then said to me, "Fang Yu." Let's take a look around and maybe find a way out. I don't believe that there is no emergency escape in such an important place. Look at these frescoes......"
"the mural!" The more the old ghost listened, the more angry he became, and raising his foot against these murals was a heavy kick!
"What are you sending ......" Lisa was about to complain about the old ghost's rudeness, when she suddenly heard a strange noise.
"Click!" It's like the sound of a mechanism opening and closing.
Then there was a "click, click, click......" sound of the gears turning, and finally "dang" the sound stopped. Immediately after that, there was a "click", and the platform where the crystal stone was originally placed was split into two, revealing the entrance of a black hole below.
"Owner, there's a secret path down here!" The old ghost said in amazement.
The three of us immediately stepped forward and shone in with spotlights. But this secret passage looks so deep that there is no bottom in sight, only a step that extends downward.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but sigh: "Captain Shi, your 'shadowless foot' is really a different world!" ”
When the old ghost saw me praising him, he proudly said, "That's it!" This is a family handicraft, and in front of others, I don't show it lightly! ”
"Say you're fat, you're really panting!" I say.
The old ghost asked me, "Boss, can't we go down and have a look?" ”
At this time, Lisa exclaimed, "Not good! The female ghost is chasing after her again! Let's go down quickly. ”
Before we had time to think about it, the three of us immediately rushed down. In order to prevent the priestess from chasing after us, I removed the cross from my neck and hung it at the mouth of the hole.
Entering the hole, we descended step by step. This stone step is made of large bluestone, and it seems that it should be some years old. But these bluestones are unusually flat and wide, just like the flat granite in Times Square now. But from the point of view of workmanship, it is handmade.
We are amazed by these crafts in front of us, and we are all very strange, how did the ancients do it?
Lisa said, "What's so strange about that? Don't forget, the civilization of the Atlantean era was much more advanced than the civilization of our current people! Our society had airplanes, and they had airships in their time! This forging process is a piece of cake for them! ”
Lisa's words, I and the old ghost nodded yes again and again. Man is the smartest creature, and his wisdom is immeasurable. However, later, not knowing what happened, it turned social civilization backwards.
We looked at the stone statues and decorations in front of us, the intricate patterns, which are simply incomparable to the current architectural style. No wonder it is said that Atlantis is an ancient and holy empire. Its civilization has reached an unprecedented height. But I don't understand why this priestess, who is favored by the gods, has stayed in this gloomy environment for thousands of years and refused to leave. So I threw all the doubts in my mind to Lisa.
Lisa said to us, "In the ancient Atlantean Empire, the status of the priestess was the highest. They have supreme rights, and their authority is sacrosanct. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and the responsibility to protect the safety of the entire people of Atlantis falls on their shoulders.
Atlantis was destroyed, and they had an inescapable responsibility. It may also be a nostalgia for the homeland, or it may be a punishment for oneself in exchange for the consolation of the dead and dead. However, one thing is beyond doubt! ”
"What?" I asked.
"That is, their territory will never be allowed to be invaded by outsiders!" Lisa said, "And our arrival disturbed the peace of the place, and we became the most unwelcome guests......
While Lisa was explaining, there seemed to be a little movement at the entrance of the cave. (To be continued......)
