Chapter 169, Xiaoqiao Abyss
After the steamed bun finished speaking, Jiao Ba said with a side face, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, I have roughly calculated this way, and there will be nothing missing." ”
Mai Lao said behind him, "Little Ba, let's be cautious, but don't be in trouble because of this carelessness at this time, something big happens." ”
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what you said, let's continue to move forward like this." ”
At this time, I reached out and patted Li Xin in front of me, she looked back at me and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Seeing those arrows just now, if you break through, you will probably turn into a very beautiful hedgehog." I looked at her flushed face, stunned and smiling, this girl has always been arrogant and cold, and her thinking reaction is fast enough, this time it is a mess.
"Laugh if you want to, don't hold back." Li Xin was still expressionless, cold as frost.
"Forget it, I'm not going to make fun of a woman, be careful, Sister Li Xin." I reached out and patted her again, and raised an eyebrow at her.
Li Xin suddenly showed a very gentle smile, and I was puzzled, but in the next second, her face changed, she snorted coldly, and almost gritted her teeth and said, "Fortunately, you held back, if you dare to laugh, I will kill you with a knife." ”
After she finished speaking, she turned her head directly, hey, this woman is really interesting, I just made a joke casually, she wanted my life, and I didn't want to save her at the beginning, it's really a hot face and a cold ass.
Jiao Ba followed his method again, and continued to lead the way, the rest of the road was smooth, and there were no more ambushes, it seems that what Jiao Ba said was quite accurate, and we are safe for the time being.
After we walked hard for a while, we finally walked out of this passage, not to mention it took more than half an hour, the big guys are tired and can't do it, this way of walking, who can stand it, originally we planned to sit down on the edge of the passage to rest first.
But when we came out, the scene in front of us was once again difficult for us to accept.
"It's... What the hell is this place, and where have we been? "I looked at the scene in front of me, and my head was ringing, this is another big problem.
In front of us was a small wooden bridge less than a meter wide suspended in front of the passageway, and only two wooden stakes with the thickness of a bowl were holding the small bridge in place.
On both sides of Xiao Qiao, there are handrails made of hemp rope, there are only two ropes, all of which are suspended in the middle, and below is the wooden plank, which is also linked by rope little by little, each wooden board is about ten centimeters apart, and it is arranged to the opposite side.
The color of the plank has become scorched black, and there are obvious large cracks, it seems that it has been corroded very seriously, the small bridge shows a downward bending form, looking like that, it is estimated that there is a possibility of breaking the bridge at any time, it is too thin.
The bridge is about forty meters long, and there is a dark underground passage on the opposite side, which seems to be about the same size as the passage we walked before, but I don't know where it leads.
And around Xiao Qiao, there is the bottomless abyss, except for the darkness, there is nothing, just like the night sky, except that there are no stars and the moon, the darkness is endless, nothing can be seen at all, and from the top down, it is the same, as if it is in outer space.
On top of this abyss, there is a thick layer of gray mist, this mist is in a state of flux, and if you look closely, you can see that the mist is slowly flowing, just like water vapor, enveloping the entire space in the cave.
The first feeling I had here was that it was like a cliff between the top of the mountain, the fog above the head was like a cloud in the sky, and the abyss around the bridge was a cliff, but it was more terrifying than the top of the mountain, and it would make you feel timid.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a good place." Mai Lao looked at the scene in front of him and said.
"Oh my God, this place is so weird, you see, the sky and the earth here are as if they are connected, with the sky above and the earth under your feet." Jenny said in surprise, presumably she has never seen this formation in her life, and of course I haven't seen it either.
"Yes, with the sky above his head, his feet on the ground, and the surroundings are pitch black, just like the ghost gate in his mother's legend." I cursed self-deprecatingly, this hellish place is really not for people to come to.
Li Xin said lukewarmly, "This should be the place that really leads to the cemetery." ”
"How do you know?" I turned my head to look at her, Li Xin seemed to have something to say.
"Don't look at me with such suspicious eyes, I'm just guessing, it was Jiao Ba who said that there was a cemetery before, but I didn't say that, plus the passage we walked through just now, it was obviously a threshold, and after passing through it, I was qualified to enter." Li Xin's tone of voice is the same as that of an automatic broadcaster, without any emotional component, bland and scary.
"How dare I doubt you, what if you are unhappy and kill me again?" I said a little embarrassed.
"Hmph, you know, it's better not to me off." Li Xin glanced at me and didn't pay attention to me anymore.
"Well, I'm too talkative." I don't know why, since I went down to this cave, Li Xin has returned to my previous coldness, even worse than before, I haven't offended her, this woman turns her face, it's really faster than turning a book.
But I also have to admit that what she said is very reasonable, it is indeed Jiao Ba who was the first to suspect that there is a mausoleum in this place, and I also agree with this, this mysterious island must be the next stop on the nautical chart.
Mai Lao walked to the edge of the small bridge, looked around, and said, "Why is this place so evil, there is actually a small bridge made of wooden planks, and it is pitch black around here, what can there be underneath?" ”
Junzi casually found a relatively large gravel nearby, reached out and threw it directly into it, we waited quietly for a while, after the gravel fell from above, it was about a minute to pass, and there was no sound of landing or falling into the water.
"It seems that there is really a bottomless abyss around here, and the only way for us to pass through here is to cross this small bridge." Chang Shan looked left and right, and said with a heavy face.
After looking around the neighborhood, Jenny said, "Indeed, there is no other way around, it seems that we can only cross the bridge." ”
I shook my head lightly and said, "This little bridge looks like it's been some years old, and the planks and ropes are obviously corroded, and it's too dangerous for me to walk across the bridge." ”
"Brother Yi is right, I also feel too dangerous, this bridge looks hanging, let alone passing, if you fall halfway, it will be over." Junko casually said a dirty word, he is a person who rarely swears, unless he is really in a hurry.
"But there's no other way now, we don't have a choice." Chang Shan sighed helplessly and said.
"Let's try not to take risks, good luck can't always follow us." Then I glanced at Mai Lao again and asked, "Mai Lao, what are you going to do?" Do you want to get over here right away, or?"
"Let the big guy take a little rest here, they're too tired to stand up anymore, let's take the opportunity to think about how to pass safely, this bridge is indeed too dangerous." As he spoke, Mai Lao stepped aside and sat down.
Then, the big guys also sat down outside the entrance of the passage, and all the way from the jungle to here, they experienced too many unbelievable things, fear and exhaustion, which have been suppressing all of us.
The big guys seem to be a little absent-minded, everyone's face and look are a little slanted, one by one I don't know what I'm thinking, in the face of a desperate situation, it's very difficult for people to be strong, this is a little more than that, at least there is a companion, otherwise I can't imagine it, it's easy to be tortured and crazy.
And I've been pondering, maybe this is the mausoleum of the hostess of Feng Pei, as long as I find the mistress of Feng Pei, I think I will be able to solve all the previous mysteries.
Of course, it may also include who the two men in black are, since I went to the island, I haven't seen those two men in black appear, I'm really a little uncomfortable, I miss these two.
This time, I feel that as long as I walk through here and reach the place where the target is, I will not be far from the secret of this chart, and whether it is any conspiracy or plan hidden behind it, and the curse on my body must be solved.
It's just that there is only half of this nautical chart, so who is in the hands of the other half? This half chart shows two routes.
During this time on the island, I suddenly wanted to understand one point, on this half of the nautical chart, the two points drawn are very suspicious, the most important thing is that there is an additional downward arrow, so if you count it, it is three points.
If all this is linked to the Ming Dynasty, then we should not find the shipwreck of the Qing Dynasty, which was discovered by Mai Lao and Shunzi at the same time.
Because it was very close to the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, it was just said that the wrong shipwreck was found at the time, but if you think about it carefully, it should not be the case, the location of the shipwreck of the Qing Dynasty has actually been drawn on the nautical chart.
Later, something happened again, pointing all the fingers at Shunzi, Jiao Ba had suspected him before, but when the coffin was salvaged from the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, Jiao Ba overturned this suspicion again, and he also thought that someone might have pushed things on Shunzi again.
It stands to reason that the shipwreck of the Qing Dynasty could not appear on the navigation chart of the Ming Dynasty at all, how could a navigation chart of the Ming Dynasty appear in the Qing Dynasty, I have never thought about this at the beginning, but after thinking about it later, there are still doubts
