I turned the headlamp up, and the light went straight through the hole above, its visible range was six meters, and the afterglow could reach eight meters, and there was nothing in the line of sight, and I don't know where it was, but according to previous estimates, it should belong to the center of the underground palace. The mysterious man seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he didn't know where it came from, maybe he would know something.

These thoughts flashed in my heart, and I didn't dare to delay, I climbed up along the entrance of the cave with three times and five divided by two, and as soon as I came out, before I could see the surrounding environment clearly, in the darkness, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "Who are you?" I was stunned, turned abruptly, and looked in the direction the voice came from.

Immediately after, I saw a topless man.

The man was shriveled and wore a green mask on his face, which was the same green mask that the Hanging Corpse Array wore before we entered the dungeon, with a wide nose and square ears, covering the entire face.

I knew to myself that this was the person who had just saved me, and I thought he was trying to avoid me, but now it looked like he was sitting here waiting for me.

There was a gap of about five or six meters between the two of us, and he sat cross-legged on the ground, with his back against the tomb wall. It was only then that I had a rough glimpse of the structure of the burial chamber, which was relatively large, and there were some things piled up around the corners, which seemed to be funerary goods, but the hasty view and the obscure lighting made it not very clear.

This glance swept over, and my gaze returned to the man, and I said: It seems that he has no intention of making trouble, so it is better to find out the details of the other party first, so I said politely: "Thank you for saving me just now." As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly shouted: "Who are you!" Although I couldn't see his expression, just listening to the voice was very different from the first question, and he roared angrily, as if he would kill me if I said another word that was not relevant to the question.

My heart jumped, and I took two steps back quietly, and said, "My name is Chen Hang, an ordinary person, you may not have heard of it." ”

The man sat in the corner of the wall, and he didn't see any weapons at hand, his face with a turquoise mask lowered and he muttered, "Chen hang...... What are you doing here. ”

I was stunned, and said that there was something wrong with him, what else could he do in the ancient tomb? Aren't he and I fellow travelers? I stared at the mask on his face, and I chuckled in my heart, and a strange thought came to me: he had the mask of the Zimu people on his face, could it be the remnants of the Zimu country? It's been more than a thousand years, it's unlikely, right?

I hesitated, and the answer was slow, and he immediately repeated the question, just like the imperial army interrogating the Eighth Road, and his tone was very violent. I already noticed that he didn't seem to be upside down, and I didn't dare to tell the truth, so I said: "I am from the archaeological team, and I came here to inspect a treasure hall, and who knew that I followed the treasure hall all the way to here." ”

The man was a little nervous, and muttered again: "The archaeological team ......" Immediately after, he suddenly raised his head, the cyan mask was facing me, and shouted: "Get out of here!" ”

I was startled, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, but I knew that this person was not simple, and he could scare Xiao Jing away, I was afraid that it was not something I could deal with, so I turned around and said to him: "I'll go, I'll go, but I don't know the way to leave." ”

The man said angrily, "I know, I'll take you out." ”

I cautiously asked, "Looks like you're familiar with this place?" ”

The man did not answer, but stood up and walked straight to the west, and I looked in the direction he was walking, and found that there was an open stone door on the other side, and the scrawny masked man was hurrying towards that side, and when he saw that I did not move his feet, he roared angrily: "Come along, I will send you out!" ”

I could only follow, but I thought to myself, grandpa hasn't been found yet, wouldn't it be a waste to go back like this? Besides, the legendary seven magic lamps, I am also really itchy, I want to see it, to see if it is really that powerful, but I can't really be sent out by him, I have to find a way to drag it out.

In the process, I asked the man a few questions, such as his identity, why he was here, but no matter how much I asked, he would not answer, and even if he did, he would be very angry, and it seemed that I was only allowed to accept his messages, and he was not willing to answer my questions.

This made me a little discouraged, and my heart turned back and forth, seeing that this person was familiar with the way, opened several secret passages, and took me around the underground palace, avoiding dangers one by one, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. At this moment, the scrawny masked man suddenly paused and said, "There is the breath of a living person." ”

Breath of life?

Where are the living? If I go, can this man smell by his nose?

At this moment, in the dim tomb passage, I suddenly heard a small footsteps in the distance, as if someone was approaching us, and at the same time, a person's voice sounded from the darkness, the sound was as small as a mosquito and a fly, but I still heard it, it seemed to be Zhong Gong's voice.

My heart chuckled, pounding, and surprised, I didn't expect to meet in this place, it was really unexpected, so I hurried towards the direction where the voice came, and the masked man didn't seem to stop me, standing still and moving forward at the same speed.

But soon, with joy, I was greeted by a thick wall. The sound came from behind the walls. I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that there was a mechanism, so I turned my head to look at the masked man who was following up. At this time, the voice behind the wall had disappeared, and I tried to call the names of Tofu and Gu Da Beauty, but no one answered me, not even Zhong Gong just now.

If it weren't for the masked man saying that there were living people, I would almost have thought that I was having auditory hallucinations.

At that moment, the emaciated masked man said, "The people in here are with you?" ”

The word in it made me immediately realize that behind this wall, there was probably another mechanism, and they were trapped behind. I nodded hurriedly, lowered my figure, and said, "Senior, at first glance, you are a capable person, we all broke in by mistake, you can let them out quickly." ”

The masked man still said in a hoarse and angry voice: "Those who trespass on the dungeon, die!" ”

I was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "Are you a grave keeper!" "There are two kinds of tomb keepers, the palace people and soldiers stationed outside the mausoleum in ancient times are the first type, and the second type is very rare, it is said that they live directly in the tomb, multiply and guard from generation to generation, leaving only a way to enter and exit, and this kind of people are often gifted and have very powerful means.

As soon as the words came out, the man said, "Not bad! ”

Immediately after, a thought flashed through my heart: those who trespass into the underground palace, die! Then why didn't this person kill me, but instead saved me from Xiao Jing's hands? Or even send me out of the dungeon? Isn't that right?

Of course, I'm not stupid enough to bring this up, what if he changes his mind if I remind him? So I continued to lower my body and pleaded: "Senior, we didn't mean to disturb the peace of the tomb owner, we really broke in by mistake, and I ask you to raise your noble hand, and we promise to leave this place obediently." ”

The grave keeper said, "There are no rules, there is no circle, and it is already an exception for me to let you leave." Listening to his firm tone, I knew that this man was hard-hearted, and I couldn't help but be annoyed, but I couldn't think of a way for a while, at this moment, behind the stone wall, suddenly there was a moaning sound, as if someone was injured.

I became even more anxious for a while, and hurriedly called the names of Tofu and others, but still no one responded to me. It seems like a strange mechanism, the sound behind the wall can come out, but my voice can't.

Damn, what happened to Tofu? I suppressed my anger and said, "What the hell is behind this?" If you don't want to let people go, then I can always save them myself, right? The grave keeper's face turned to me, the blue-green mask could not be seen, and his tone was still irritable: "Don't lie to me, the people behind have already done a lot of damage!" They are the ones who disturb the peace of the king! If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you together!" ”

He had already let go of his cruel words, but it was impossible for me to throw away the tofu and ignore it, and now I had to tear my face, so I stepped back slightly and pulled out the dagger.

He saw my movements, and stood still, but his shoulders thrust forward slightly, making a motion that seemed to pounce. But neither of us took the lead. I could tell that the grave keeper didn't seem to have much ill will towards me, but I couldn't figure out why.

Immediately afterward, I thought of the sentence that the trespasser died, and I couldn't help asking, "Fourteen years ago, there was once a group of people who entered the dungeon...... What happened to them in the end. ”

The grave keeper tilted his head and said calmly, "Of course it's dead." ”

"Killed by you?"

"Some of them I killed with my own hands."

I took a deep breath, took out a photo of my grandfather from my equipment bag, looked at him, and said coldly, "This person ...... Did you die at your hands? "My heart was pounding, and I wasn't as calm as I seemed, and if he answered yes, I don't know what I'd do next.

He stared at the photo, shook his head suddenly, and said, "I haven't seen this person." ”

I was stunned and said, "No?" ”

The grave keeper said, "Of the eight men in all, two escaped, and I killed the rest, but there was no one." ”

The first reaction in my mind was that something was wrong, why were there two and not three? Perhaps it was because the accuracy of that divination was too strong, and I was already subconsciously convinced that there would be three people who would survive, so when I heard him say this, I couldn't help but feel stunned, and immediately asked, "Who is it that escaped?" ”
