Chapter 43: Testing

I stared at the few black and white faces that suddenly appeared in the darkness, and I was startled for a while, and then I looked closely, and it turned out that there were many people sitting in front of me, all with masks on their faces, blocking in front of us.

When everyone saw what it was, they weren't so scared, and they couldn't help but wonder for a while, how could there be such a person here? Obviously, these must not be living people, they are stuck here, what is strange?

Everyone was worried about deception, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and Zhong Gong, who was walking in the front, became a pathfinder, and slowly stepped forward. As the light got closer, we also saw the situation in front of us, only to see that on the stone steps in front of us, there were many dried corpses crowded down one after another, and most of the clothes on these dried corpses were integrated with the corpses, staggering and staggering, covering the space in front of them. Behind the corpse, there was no way to go, and huge rubble blocked the way.

Tofu put Ouyang Xuan aside and said with his shoulders down; "Why are all these people dying here?"

Zhong Gong tried to move a few stones, and found that the collapse of this passage was very powerful, and it had been completely blocked. Zhang Wen said: "It seems that these people should be trapped here, with no way out, so they died here." ā€

Tofu said, "Wearing a mask when you die? ā€

I said: "This is not strange, many local funeral customs have a mask covering, after the death of the ancient princes and generals, some will also carry the amount of jade noodles, I think these people probably know that death is inevitable, so they wear masks." ā€

Zhang Wen nodded, agreeing with my speculation, at this time, Zhong Gong said: "It's completely blocked, this doesn't look like a natural landslide, I think, it looks like some kind of mechanism caused it." You see, these people were all in the same place when they died, obviously prepared, and I suspect that they may have started this self-destructing mechanism. ā€

Tofu showed a look of enlightenment and said, "If you say that, it's really possible." This ancient country of Yaofang was destroyed in the war, and the things in the palace were also looted, and eighty percent of the enemies broke into this place. Not good...... So how are we going to get out? ā€

I couldn't help but scold my mother, saying: "This road doesn't work, it seems that you still have to start from above, no matter what, you have to find a way to get the little zongzi down." ā€

Tofu sat on the ground dejectedly, and said gloomily: "The incense is also invited, and I don't use it at all." I think a few of us are going to be planted this time, who will recite the mantra of the past? While you're still alive, give us a little more in advance. ā€

I kicked him and told him not to disturb the morale of the army, and said: "There is no endless road, if that little zongzi wanted to harm us earlier, it would not have waited until now, I think its original intention should not be to kill us, what is the purpose." ā€

Tofu poured cold water on him without fear of death, and said: "I think its intention is to trap us, and then turn us into zongzi, stay here with it, and the movies are like this." I raised my foot and wanted to kick it, but Tofu was busy covering his ass to dodge, and said aggrievedly: "We're all going to die, can't you be gentle with me?" ā€

I sneered, "Then wait until you're dead." ā€

Zhang Wen said: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, Brother Chen, what you just said is more reasonable, that little zongzi doesn't seem to be harmful, you said that it had to leave us in this place, what do you want to do?" Everyone was puzzled, but it was really disturbing to stay with this group of corpses. Zhong Gong was standing in the corpse poison at this time, and when he returned, he naturally fell last, it was estimated that the corpse pile was too dense, and when he moved, two of the corpses fell down, and rolled down the stone steps, and rolled to my feet.

The corpse was covered with corpse oil, probably because the nose was immune, and I didn't feel much smelly, but at this moment, I suddenly found that the corpse that rolled down to my feet was very different, it had an ornament-like thing hanging around its neck, and a black brand was hanging underneath, which made me look familiar, I picked out the brand with a dagger, and as soon as it revealed its full appearance, I instantly recognized this thing, it was a magic card representing the shaman, and the appearance of the divine wood square earrings of Princess Geger I got before was very similar, It's just that what is engraved inside is different.

My heart moved, and my heart said: Could it be that this corpse is also a shaman? At this time, I heard Zhong Gong say in surprise: "Why did this corpse fall down on its own, I didn't move." As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became very strange in an instant.

Tofu swallowed his saliva and said, "Could it be ...... Did it roll down on its own? Then he said to the corpse, "Big brother, are you looking for us?" ā€

Of course, the corpse couldn't speak, so I asked Tofu not to interfere, and then I looked carefully at the shaman's magic card, and found that it was engraved inside, which was also a spiral-shaped thing, but this spiral was different from the spiral shape we saw before, because in this spirulina, there were two blood-red things.

I pointed to the sign and asked Tofu, "What do these two red ones look like?" ā€

Tofu thought for a while and said, "Like a pair...... Eyes hidden in the dark, looking weird. ā€

At this time, Zhen Rui said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, this is a pair of eyes." ā€

I understood what he meant, and said, "Do you think that behind the golden gate, there is probably a living thing?" He didn't look angry, nodded slightly, squinted, and seemed to be thinking of a way. Tofu said: "Won't it be a sleepy dragon again?" ā€

At this time, Zhen Rui seemed to think of something, and suddenly, his brows furrowed violently, and then he stretched out his tongue and licked the skin of his mouth, which felt very weird. I thought there was something evil in him, but then I heard him say, "Perhaps...... I know what's behind the gate. ā€

Tofu hurriedly said, "What is it?" Zhen Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure now, I need a real yĆ n, come with me." "He said let's go, and we had to hurry up, and after a while, out of this passage, Zhen Rui went all the way, and he was heading towards the location of the golden gate."

I felt very puzzled in my heart, but I also knew that Zhen Rui was not an unreliable person, so I didn't ask more. Suddenly, the golden gate appeared in our eyes again, and the distance between us before was about twenty meters away.

At this time, Zhen Rui stopped, suddenly looked at Tofu and said, "You just stand in this place, don't move." ā€

Tofu was confused, but nodded anyway.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand, extinguished the head of the tofu, told him not to open it, and then said, "All of a sudden, the rest of us will go to the gate, and we will turn off the lights, and in three hours, you will come back to meet us, remember, no matter what happens, you must not advance or postpone it." ā€

Zhen Rui's words were like listening to a book from heaven, I couldn't think of any meaning at all, Tofu glanced at me, and his eyes were obviously asking: Do you want to do what he says? I frowned, nodded slightly, and motioned for Tofu to follow the arrangement.

Then, as planned, we entered the area of the fan-shaped gate, and this time, the Whirrel did not attack us again. The illumination range of the lamp head is only about 20 meters, so standing in front of the golden gate, I can only vaguely see the vague outline of tofu in light and darkness.

Immediately after, we turned off the lights as planned.

Darkness gives people a sense of fear, because it is human nature to fear the unknown, and darkness is the unknown. The moment the lights went out, I felt a chill behind my back, and the pair of blood-red eyes couldn't help but pop up in my mind, and in an instant, I even had the illusion that there was a pair of blood-red eyes peeping at me inside the gate behind me. I couldn't help but turn my head to look, and it was still dark behind me, and there were no eyeballs.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness, which was obviously coming from the location where Tofu was. I wondered in my heart, didn't I tell him not to move? What are you doing now? Immediately afterwards, Zhen Rui next to me turned on his headlamp again, and Tofu walked over with Ouyang Xuan on his back and the corpse fairy, confused, and said, "Three hours have passed, what are you going to do next?" ā€

I looked at Tofu's innocent face, and for a moment I was stunned, and something suddenly flashed through my mind.

To confirm, I said, "Xiaodou, are you sure you waited for three hours?" ā€

Tofu was a little angry. He said, "It's so dark, and you won't let me turn on the light, if it weren't for the wood next to me, I'd be scared to death...... Pervert, why do you look like you've seen the hell? Why are you looking at me like that? I know I'm handsome, but I'm not a, and even if we're good buddies, I'm not going to give in! I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say a word, Tofu said he had been waiting for three hours, but God knows, the rest of us, just walked in, and sat down for less than five seconds.

Where did these three hours come from?

Tofu doesn't lie, that is, after we walk into this area of the golden gates, our time is different. It was only at this point that I finally understood why the corpse of the jack-of-all-trades had changed like that.

A phrase popped into my mind: It's only been a few months in the cave, and it's been a thousand years in the world.
