Chapter 181, Passage Stone Gate
I slowly took her hand and said, "Don't worry, my life is big, I don't die so easily, I have come back to life these two times, what else can I be afraid of?" I was ashamed to say that I had been panicking all the time.
Jenny slowly pulled her hand out and said, "Just pretend, look at your face just now, it's almost bloodless, and you're still pretending, you're completely stupid, right?" ”
"You're very boring, you have to open which pot you don't mention? Don't talk nonsense with you, we have to move on. As I spoke, I barely supported myself and stood up again.
Jenny quickly grabbed me, "Can you do it?" Why don't you take a break? ”
I shook my head and said, "No, we have to go, there's no time to delay any longer." ”
"Don't be reckless, in case you encounter the mechanism again, you won't have the strength to hide." What Jenny said makes a lot of sense, if there were any more mechanisms in front of me, then I wouldn't be so lucky, these two times were pure luck.
But I think that there should be no more mechanisms in this passage, there was only one mechanism in such a long passage before, and now I have encountered two in a row, it must be about the same, if there is a more dangerous mechanism than this, even if I can predict it, I may not be able to avoid it.
"The mechanism should be gone, I'll just go inside." I'm going to take a gamble, anyway, I've always been a bet every time, Jiao Ba is not here, and I have no way to find the mechanism, so I can only go carefully all the way.
"Is this going to work? If there were any more mechanisms, wouldn't you be finished? Jenny didn't quite agree with the idea.
I walked up to the big rock and looked at it, then turned my head and looked into the passage and said, "This is the only way to do it, if you are lucky, the mechanism will be gone, and if you are unlucky, I may not be able to avoid the mechanism again, you can also see, I walked forward so carefully, or almost hung up." ”
"That's at least saving your life, don't be reckless, you can't make a mistake now." Jenny seems to be relying on me a lot right now.
I looked at her and said with a wicked smile, "Looks like you need me very much, but what if I die?" ”
"Don't make such boring jokes, okay? We'll get out of here safely. She didn't answer me directly, but said very tactfully.
"You still stay here, I'll go over and explore the way first, and I'll let you know if it's safe in front." Without waiting for her to speak, I cautiously walked forward.
"You have to be extra careful." Jenny reminded me of that.
This time, I no longer threw the knife forward, but walked forward step by step, with each step, I would try to step on the stone slab under my feet, whether it was useful or not, I tried to be safe first, not for myself, I also had to do it for Jenny.
About ten meters away, I saw that the front of the passage was still dark, how long is this road, why is it so dark inside, I have no bottom in my heart, the longer the passage, the easier the mechanism, at this time, I really hope Jiao Ba can be by my side.
But when I took a few steps further, I was dumbfounded, and finally understood why it was pitch black in front of me, and the entrance of the emotional passage was actually a dead end, and there was a pitch-black stone wall in front of me, no wonder I couldn't see the end at all.
I looked at the stone wall in front of me, my head was 'buzzing' and hurting, God opened a door for me, I thought there would be an exit, but I didn't expect that even the window was sealed, now there is really no way out, a dead end in front, a cliff behind, waiting for me, what else can there be besides death?
I stood in place, stunned for several minutes, and finally came over at the risk of death, but what I got was this result, how could I bear it.
"Zhongyi, why don't you leave? Did you encounter a trap again? Jenny saw that I had been in the same place for a long time, and asked me.
I turned around and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go, it's a dead end, we have no way out." ”
"What? Impasse? How is that possible? Jenny didn't wait for me to speak this time, she hurriedly ran over, anyway, the road is safe, let her be.
When she saw the stone wall in front of her, she was also a little overwhelmed, "What? How can it be a dead end? It shouldn't be. ”
"The facts are already in front of you, so is there any falsehood? The two of us are finished, Mai Lao and the others also think that we are dead, and it is estimated that no one will come to save us, and now there is no way out, if we don't do it, we will starve to death here. I squatted down and said helplessly, starving to death is much more uncomfortable than shooting.
"I don't believe this is a dead end, if it is, why make it an underground passage, there are many mechanisms in it, is it to protect this dead wall? Do you feel right? Jenny said as she looked down at me.
Her words are not unreasonable, I was a little dizzy just now, and I didn't analyze this matter carefully, a mountain passage full of mechanisms, it stands to reason that it will not be a dead end, if it is really a dead end, there is no need to make such a cumbersome mechanism.
I patted my face with my hand to calm myself down, there are more mechanisms in this passage than I have walked before, there is no reason why it is a blocked road, presumably this mystery should be behind this wall.
"I thought about it, this should be a stone gate, and behind this stone gate, there should be a road." I jerked myself to my feet, startling Jenny.
"Oh, why are you so startled and scared me." Jenny slapped her chest with her hand, and I almost hit her head on her chest.
"As soon as you said this, I just reacted, behind this stone door, there is either a way out, or it is the tomb of that cave as Jiao Ba said." I said with a calm face, looking back and forth on the opposite wall.
"Well, I think so too, I don't know if it's a tomb, but it's definitely not a dead end, but what do we have to do to open this stone door?" Jenny was talking and fumbling around as she spoke, probably trying to see if there were any mysteries or anything like that.
I knocked on the wall with my hand, it was so thick that I couldn't feel that it was empty inside, I put my ear to it, and knocked it hard, listening carefully to the sound in the wall, the sound was slightly reverberating, if it was a completely dead wall, I could only hear a dull sound.
"Yes, this is indeed a stone door, but this stone door is thick, and it shouldn't be that easy to open, how about it? Did you find anything? I turned on my flashlight and shone it in Jenny's direction.
Jenny turned around, shook her head helplessly and said, "No, nothing, it's like a dead wall, you can't even find the handle of a mechanism, this is trouble, let's think about it, it's not so easy." ”
I stretched out my hand and groped around, but I still found nothing, there are two possibilities at present, one is that the stone door is closed inside, and if you want to open it, you can only be inside, and the other is that you don't want to leave the mechanism at all, and directly seal the stone door, and no one can enter.
This is terrible, if there is really no mechanism outside, we will not be able to get in, "Let's look carefully, if there is no mechanism, this stone door will not be able to be opened." ”
Jenny nodded, and the two of us followed the route just now, and searched for it thoroughly, but around this stone gate, except for the cold walls, there was really nothing, and I even checked the top of the stone gate, including the top of the surrounding area, but still found nothing.
"What should I do, Zhongyi, nothing, it seems that we are really trapped." Jenny was still a little excited just now, but now she has a bitter and bitter face.
I looked down at my feet and said to myself, "If it's a stone gate, can we dig a gap from below?" ”
"What did you say?" Jenny didn't seem to understand what I was saying.
I looked up at her and said, "If this is really a stone gate, can we try to dig a gap from underneath?" ”
Jenny rolled her eyes and said, "You can try, there is no other way now, the key is that the stone slab under your feet, can you pry it open?" ”
"Just try it." As I spoke, I pulled out my diving knife, crouched down and began to pry the stone slabs, I was going to open all the rows of stone slabs at the stone entrance, and then dig a small pit to see if I could find a way to lift the stone door by hand.
The stone slab built by the ancients is no worse than that of modern people, although it is not made of cement, but it is also very strong, and it took me a long time to open a stone slab, and it is still scarred.
"Fuck, why is this slate so strong?" I wiped the sweat from my forehead and cursed.
"Don't worry, take your time, look at the sweat in your head." Jenny also squatted on the ground and lifted the slate, looked at me and said with a smile.
"You're in a good state of mind, aren't you? In case we can't open this stone gate, it's really over, and it's almost the same if we don't die. I opened another slate and took a breath.
"It's useless to be anxious, so I can only calm down, everyone has their own lives, if we really can't get out, it's also providence." I didn't expect Jenny to be so open-minded and look at things so openly, I don't know if this is to comfort me or herself.
Fortunately, this slate is not too thick, if it is a slate of more than ten centimeters, it is difficult to think of opening, about an hour or so, the two of us opened all the slate in front of the stone door, and then I began to dig the ground with a diving knife, and the ground is much easier than the slate.
Although this is in a cave, it is not as bad as I thought, and it didn't take much effort to dig a small pit underneath, and sure enough, it was a stone door, and when the pit was dug out, it happened to form a small semicircle with the stone gate.
