Chapter Thirty-Eight: Escape
Strange to say, this underground palace has been at least 2,000 years old now, and the years have changed for many years, and the earth's crust has moved countless times. It's still as strong as ever, but it's going to collapse today. A few of us were lucky enough to buy lottery tickets.
A piece of rubble fell and hit the top of my head, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I almost passed out, but fortunately the stone was not too big, and the top of the tomb was not high, so I didn't get smashed on the spot, but a stream of heat still overflowed from the top of my head, and I touched it with my hand, and my hands were bright red. The blood shed today is more than the sum of the past 20 years, and this trip back home, I can't recover if I don't raise it for more than half a year. The three of them didn't notice it, so I covered the wound and begged it to stop the bleeding.
"Hide in the sarcophagus!" Hua Xia put away his backpack, pulled a woman in each hand, and jumped into the sarcophagus. Can there be four people in the sarcophagus? The ground shook violently, and every time I stepped on it, it was like stepping on cotton, and it was difficult to walk, and when I finally came to the sarcophagus, I was really surprised when I looked inside.
When I started to get so close to the sarcophagus, I didn't realize that there was a hole in it. In the middle of the coffin is a giant lotus flower, exuding a unique luster of bronze, I hung on the inside of the sarcophagus and jumped down, this is the place where the tomb owner died. Under the lotus flower is a bronze flower stalk of nearly two meters, supporting the giant lotus on the head, and there are dense barbs on the flower stalk, which is jaw-dropping to see. This level of craftsmanship is unique even now, and the thousand-year-old monster has been lying in the lotus for nearly two thousand years. The designer of this tomb is really a wonderful flower, the sarcophagus was originally a flower shelf, fixed in a small cave with a special method, if someone comes in and touches the mechanism, the sarcophagus will rise vertically, and then put it flat on the ground. At the same time, the mechanism is activated, and the part of the sarcophagus that coincides with the ground is opened. If the designer of this mechanism is still alive in the contemporary era, he will at least have a double doctorate in civil engineering and mechanical engineering, or even surpass it, but even more.
As soon as the tomb robbers who knew a little bit saw the battle of this legal burial, they knew that the one lying in the coffin must not be a good stubble, and they couldn't afford to provoke it. Zuihou can only make up his mind around the sarcophagus, or he can take a few things without going through the empty space and make a small fortune. If the thief with a big heart hits the idea in the coffin, the chance of encountering a corpse is 99.9 percent, and there is no life out of 10.
Besides, this lotus flower has always been deified, and has symbolic meanings such as holiness, rebirth, and Buddhahood. The lotus platform under Sister Guanyin is a lotus flower.
The treatment of this old boy is really good, but he thinks too much, and with the idea of becoming an immortal, he sleeps directly in this giant lotus. It is estimated that the Buddhas from all walks of life are also jealous of it, so let us take care of it for us.
In the small cave, a complete set of gold silk nanmu furniture and all kinds of bronze utensils, as well as ceramic pieces, let us a few people dazzled, here a random piece of utensils dragged out, that is the value of the connection.
Lu Jieyu took my hand, pulled it and said, "The blood is all gone!" ”
I came to my senses and wiped the blood off my face. Huaxia on the side, looking at all this in front of him with his mouth open, his saliva was about to flow out, I knew that this kid was beating these things again, so I raised my leg and kicked him in the ass. The gravel still kept falling, and he jumped in with Huaxia, thinking that there was an exit, but it seemed that he still couldn't escape the life of being buried alive.
Like ants on a hot pot, we began to rummage around, and finally found a hole more than half a meter high behind a large bronze vase against the wall. Needless to say, it was the craftsmen who repaired the tomb back then who left a secret passage for escape. Without saying a word, we pouted our butts one by one and drilled in. As soon as I entered the cave, I was blocked by a collapsed boulder from behind. If there is no way forward, we will have to wait for death.
I crawled hand and foot side by side for more than half an hour, there was no light in the secret passage, and I didn't have the energy to open the eye again, the front suddenly turned sharply, my hands climbed into the air, and I lost too much blood, and I was already weak. After losing his balance, he rolled against the ground. The three of them followed too closely, and they all rolled down one by one. All three of them pressed on me impartially. The worst thing is that someone's big ass sticks to my face. A foul stench wafted into my nostrils, and tears were about to come out of my eyes.
I pushed the ass aside in disgust and scolded, "Huaxia, do you believe that Lao Tzu sewed up your asshole with a needle?" ”
Huaxia, who was pushed aside, smirked "hehe". I continued to scold: "You can still laugh, don't think I don't know it's you, there's an onion smell in your fart, you stupid *! ”
Xu Mingxiang snorted, sat up from me and said, "It's really blind and blind, no one is afraid of death." I'll open the way! ”
Lu Jieyu may have touched the black ball in the bag with her hand to see if it was pressed, and the black ball snorted twice weakly, it seemed that it was not injured. This little guy's life is quite hard, and he can be a warning or something. As long as we are safe, we are sure that it will follow us to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and they are all comrades-in-arms who have lived and died together and have shared hardships!
The further I went, the wider the passage became, and the crampedness of the beginning was gone. Slowly, we were able to walk upright, and we could still see a faint light ahead. I know we're not far from the exit.
Huaxia couldn't wait to run forward, I didn't know if I was about to go out, I was very excited, or I was in a hurry to rush back to pull Lin Hongzhi back from the ghost gate. However, after a few steps of running, he fell off his head. We hurried to catch up and pull him up from the ground. Hua Xia rubbed his chest and said, "How many times have you fallen here, and you still fall when you get to this point." "If you look at the ground, I feel like I stepped on something and slipped before I fell.
When we looked to the ground, it turned out to be a leg bone that had been broken in two. What was even more surprising was that there were no less than twenty human skeletons lying on both sides of the secret passage. Their clothes had rotted down to rags.
"These people should be the craftsmen who repaired the tomb back then, and they couldn't escape when they saw the exit." Xu Mingxiang said with some sighs.
I think what Xu Mingxiang said is very likely to be right. These people are all the people who dug the secret path together back then, but there is no reason why they all reach the exit and will die. If the pursuers had arrived, this secret passage would have been sealed long ago. I believe they couldn't have died of natural causes, so at least one of them didn't.
I told them these thoughts. They nodded silently. Hua Xia picked up a dagger from not far from these skeleton shelves and threw it at me without looking, but fortunately I was still agile and caught it with one hand. Huaxia said: "Laizi is right. At least one of the group survived, stabbing them clean with the dagger. This skill, this guts, one can play twenty, even if it is not as good as Bruce Lee, it is also at the same level as Donnie Yen's Ip Man. ”
I held the dagger and looked closely, and the dagger was about twenty centimeters long, and the handle took up a small half. The knife is two fingers wide, and the two sides are open, and now it has long been weathered and corroded. For now, I guess cutting a watermelon is enough to choke.
There was also a word engraved on the hilt, which was a little blurry, and I spat on it and wiped it with my clothes to see it clearly. It turned out to be a "hate" character in the style of Lishu.
"Let's go, hurry up, if you don't go back, my uncle will really go to the west to learn the scriptures." Huaxia is in a good mood and can make jokes about his uncle. Lu Jieyu rolled her eyes and walked towards the light at the entrance of the cave.
I put the dagger in my bag, asked Huaxia for three cigarettes and lit them, raised them above my head and bowed to them three times. I silently said "xiexie" in my heart. I put the cigarette flat on the ground, and I followed them.
The few beams of light at the entrance of the cave penetrated through the cracks in the vines and plants, and it was not easy to pull out the messy rattans and branches. As a result, we were dumbfounded.
The exit of this secret passage is open on the halfway of a cliff, and there is really no way to go up to the sky, and there is no way to go down to the ground. The four of them want to stay where they are, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't have any ideas. A ringing of my cell phone startled me, I hadn't heard the phone for a long time. It's Huaxia's mobile phone ringing.
"Copycat phones are cows!" Huaxia didn't forget to make a small advertisement and then pick up the phone: Hey, what? Can't do it anymore? If it doesn't work, we have to hold on, we'll be back in a few hours at most.
Wait, someone on the phone should have told Huaxia that his uncle was dying, but the time was wrong, and he could at least last another day. Cold sweat broke out of the vest. We have been in the mountains for more than ten hours, and it should be dark now, and it is broad daylight in Weishenme. If the phone works, the compass should work. I looked up at the sky, and it was blue. I pulled my compass out of my bag and saw that we were facing due west and I didn't see the sunset. At the end of the day, we had been in the heart of the mountain for about twenty-four hours.
I pulled Huaxia and leaned out half of my body to look, and found that just above the entrance of the cave, there was a big tree that was long and diagonally, and my hand was less than a meter away from being able to reach it. I beckoned them to leave what I could carry in my backpack at any time. So he broke the four backpack straps, tied the dead knots together, and formed a rope nearly three meters long, and then bowed to the skeleton shelf a few times again. Picked up the dagger in my hand and tied it to the rope, walked to the hole and threw the end of the dagger tied to the rope out of the hole, swaying from side to side, when the rope swung left to one hundred and eighty degrees, my hand shook, and one end of the rope took my hand as a dot, and swung up perfectly and wrapped it around the tree, I pulled it with my hand. Nothing is a big problem.
originally wanted Huaxia to be a victim for an experiment, but considering that he usually asked this kid to do something, he was crooked and dodged. What's more, with such a life-threatening and difficult action, it is estimated that he will not be fooled. So he carried forward the role of vanguard and exemplary leadership, always walked at the forefront of the team, and held the spirit of not going to hell and who will go to hell, and went up in person.
