Chapter Seventy-One: The Terracotta Army
Gu Wenmin staggered, her expression turned pale, it was really not what I wanted to treat her like this, but I knew that I couldn't go on like this, I had already killed Tofu, I couldn't hurt her anymore.
"Chen Hang, what are you talking about?" She wiped her tears, then smiled reluctantly, and said, "I don't think I heard these words, we ......" She said as she approached me, and I looked at her fragile expression, as if I saw her going to death because of me.
"Get out."
“………… Chen hanging? ”
"It's okay if you don't roll, stay five meters away from me, don't come near me."
There was a deathly silence in the tomb, the beating tongue of fire became weaker and weaker, everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak out anymore, Gu Wenmin pursed his lips, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, I could only force myself to shift my gaze, glanced around at everyone, and said lightly: "A person has died, he can't die in vain." This time the operation continues, and no difficulties can be stopped. ”
Professor Lin moved his lips and covered his face, and said, "I should have stopped you at that time, and I was to blame for it." "Now that the tofu man has gone, I don't want to dwell on these meaningless things, at the moment I only have two goals, first: to get the ** seal and leave here, and second, to find a way to break the curse of the ghost face. If I don't find something for myself and set a goal, I'm sure I'll be crushed.
Ji Qì Ren No. 1 said in a deep voice: "What are your plans now?" At this time, he didn't bother with what to do with Tofu's corpse, and probably planned to go with me.
I glanced at the crowd and said, "We're missing one person from our ranks." ”
Professor Lin nodded heavily and said, "Sidong is gone." ”
Ten people, nine coffins, all nine of us were pulled into the coffin, why is there one less coffin?
Why did Wu Sidong disappear? Where did he go?
In the great grief, I feel that my brain is so clear for the first time, probably when people are hit hard, it is easier to stay out of the matter, I recalled the previous events, and suddenly remembered Wu Sidong's resentful eyes, and I couldn't help but have a guess in my heart: Could this qiē be related to Wu Sidong?
I put forward this conjecture, Professor Lin and Duan Fei immediately refuted, and Duan Fei said, "Impossible. Brother Chen, I know that you are not on the right page with him, but although he is stingy, he is not that kind of person, and it is impossible for him to harm us, let alone the teacher. ”
I was thinking very clearly at this moment, and when I heard this, I immediately said, "What if he is not Wu Sidong?" ”
Professor Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Have you ever heard of ghosts? I don't think he's going to harm us, but I suspect that he was accused by something, and the current Wu Sidong is not the previous Wu Sidong. ”
After I finished speaking, Duan Fei looked a little scared and said, "Ghost upper body? It can't be, there are ghosts in this tomb? ”
At this moment, Ji Qì Ren No. 1 suddenly spoke, with a stern expression, and said in a deep voice: "There are indeed ghosts in this place. After a pause, he told us about an incident that happened to coincide with my experience.
This happened in the first burial chamber where we were located when we first entered the underground palace, when I hung a gecko palm on the top of the tomb, and when I looked up, I saw a huge human face in the bronze mirror, and I thought it was my own face at the time, but later I realized that something was wrong. In the process of climbing later, the machine Qì Ren No. 1 suddenly glanced at the bronze tripod.
Jiqì Ren No. 1 recalled that he had just climbed to the top of the tomb and suddenly felt very uncomfortable behind his back, which was a strong sixth sense. He was a soldier, and his vigilance was easy to be human, and his intuition was very sensitive, so he immediately looked up. At that moment, he also saw a face in the bronze tripod. The bronze tripod seems to have become a mirror that can be reflected, and it also reflects a huge face.
That face disappeared in an instant, so much so that Jiqìren No. 1 wondered if it was an illusion caused by his nervous nerves, so he never mentioned it.
I didn't expect him to have the same experience as me, and now it seems that the giant face is not something that is dazzling, but something is clearly at work. It was in the cursed chamber that the thing stared at us and followed us all the way.
Duan Fei was shocked and frightened, and said, "What do you mean, is that thing on Wu Sidong's body?" ”
I nodded, didn't speak, and glanced at Gu Wenmin, who stood silently on the side, as if it was none of her business. I know that the first qiē just now hit her very hard, although I have known her for a short time, but I know her character, she is not a person who is afraid of things, if I tell her the truth, I am afraid that she will not only not leave me, but will be involved in this matter.
Tofu has already had an accident, and I can't let her get involved anymore. Thinking of this, I touched Tofu's corpse, which was cold to the touch and stiffened. At this time, the nine ghost coffins had been almost burned, the fire in the tomb dimmed, and everyone was talking about Wu Sidong, thinking about what to do next.
At this moment, my eyes turned and I suddenly found that this tomb, which originally had only one entrance, had an additional entrance at some point.
The entrance was to the southeast, and there used to be a terracotta warrior standing in that place, but now, the terracotta had disappeared, and behind the terracotta warrior, a black passage was revealed.
I was taken aback, and my heart said, when did this passage mouth appear?
I asked the rest, and they shook their heads, apparently unsure. I was so immersed in grief that I couldn't feel the passage of time, and during this time, the rest of the coffins were set on fire. There were dead people in the procession, and everyone was depressed, and no one noticed how the passage came to be.
Now it seems that there should be a mechanism in that place, but we didn't find it before, but why the mechanism suddenly opened is unknown.
Duan Fei speculated: "Could it be related to these coffins?" ”
I didn't answer her, now it's just a guess, it's useless to say more, and in this case, I really don't want to say more, if it weren't for forcibly suppressing the grief in my heart, I guess I wouldn't be able to discuss things with everyone at this time.
It doesn't matter where the mechanism is, the main thing is, where did that terracotta army go? Where does this new passage extend? Is it too weird to suddenly open so silently?
At this time, Ji Qì Ren No. 4 suddenly hammered his hand and said, "I understand, we were thinking in the wrong direction just now." He analyzed that we always thought that this channel was opened silently after Tofu's death and when everyone was immersed in grief, but from another angle, could it have been opened before Tofu's death?
I immediately understood the meaning of the number four, when everyone was pulled into the coffin, if according to the previous guess, Wu Sidong is really no longer Wu Sidong, then, this passage, will it be opened by Wu Sidong after we were pulled into the coffin? Since that thing has been living in this ancient cemetery palace, it's not surprising that it knows the mechanism here, right?
Later, after I came out of the coffin, I only thought about saving people, and I didn't observe the surrounding environment at all, and the rest of the people were also focused on dealing with zongzi, and it was normal not to find this passage.
Could it be that this channel was actually opened by Wu Sidong?
There is no other way here, the way back is the way back, although the stone gate is closed, but we still have explosives on hand, it is easy to exit, but the way forward, it seems that there is only this one in front of us, what will be waiting for us ahead? Everyone looked at each other, and did not delay, the death of a companion brought the group in addition to grief, but also the determination to win, if you give up halfway, tofu will die in vain.
After a while, we made up our minds, took out our headlamps, put on our headlights, and entered the graveyard in front of us with weapons in hand.
To our surprise, except for the first section of the road, which is relatively dark, there are light troughs on both sides of the road dozens of meters away, and the lights in the light trough are still on. This road is straight, the tomb bricks are huge and blue, simple and simple, and everywhere shows the simple and atmospheric architectural style of the Qin Dynasty.
Tomb bricks to the later period, has also derived a lot of patterns, there are tiles, text bricks, picture bricks, dark turns, empty bricks, sandwich bricks, etc., in the ordinary tomb, and more than the bricks, and since entering this underground palace, all the way, we see the tomb bricks are not any patterns or text records, it looks simple and heavy, exudes a solemn feeling.
Since I was carrying tofu on my back, I was the last one, Duan Fei walked in front of me, Gu Wenmin kept her head down, and neither of us was willing to cover up anymore, so she walked in the front. At this moment, Duan Fei in front of me suddenly hissed, lowered his voice and said, "I remembered something, you said, the entrance to this tomb was originally a terracotta warrior, why did the terracotta warriors disappear?" ”
Her question made me stunned, I only cared about doubting Wu Sidong before, so much so that I forgot this detail.
yes, where did that terracotta go? It's a dead thing, and it can't move, how can it suddenly disappear?
Could it be that Wu Sidong took it away?
What's the use of him bringing a terracotta?
Duan Fei speculated: "That terracotta warrior, will there be any special use?" ”
I shook my head, thinking it was unlikely. This kind of terracotta warriors, imitating the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang, the role is to guard the tomb, in fact, it is made of clay, a dead thing, what special role can it have? I was thinking about it when Duan Fei suddenly sighed, stopped, turned around, looked a little scared, and said, "You say, will our passage be opened by the Terracotta Army?" ”
When Professor Lin heard this, he shook his face and said, "Nonsense, how can the terracotta warriors move." ”
