Chapter 16: Separation
After Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he walked in that direction, and Zheng Wen and I also got up and followed Uncle Zheng and walked over there. Neither of us had a flashlight in the water, and now all three of us were following the faint light under Uncle Zheng's flashlight.
"Uncle Zheng, something is wrong, I seem to have been to this place." I grabbed Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen who were in the process of moving forward, this place I did come to, because this place is the place where I fell.
"Where?" Uncle Zheng asked a little puzzled.
After I finished my thoughts, Uncle Zheng just laughed and said, Now we are looking for the mausoleum of Concubine Pan Shu of Nanqi, and the place where I fell is the mausoleum of Jiuluan Hai, since I walked on it, it is normal to have been to this place. Although Uncle Zheng's explanation is very reasonable, I still feel that something is wrong in my heart.
Because when I fell, there were a lot of arms around me, and there was a big crack in the ground. But now it looked clean in the light of the flashlight, and the floor was smooth, and there were no signs of cracks.
Following Uncle Zheng, I cautiously walked past the place where I had fallen, and walked past the place where I had been separated from the big head. And after walking forward for a while, Zheng Wen and Uncle Zheng in front of him did not leave. Just as I was about to ask, I saw the anomaly in front of me.
I saw silkworm chrysalis like things appear on the ground in front of me, and after looking closely, I found that it was actually a person, and it was none other than the dead members of Zheng Wen's team. Haven't they already been pulled down the cracks, and another one has been torn alive, how could they be here in this way?
"Corpse chrysalis." Uncle Zheng screamed a little out of shape, but when he saw those who were motionless, he boldly stepped forward to take a look, and poked the flashlight in his hand. Then he patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not alive." ”
Zheng Wen's face was a little unnatural, these people all came in with him, and they fell from here with him. Although he was a spy, he and these river diggers had worked together for a long time, even from birth to death. It's a little sad to see their bodies like this now.
I stepped forward and patted Zheng Wen on the shoulder, not knowing what to say. After all, these people also came in with me, and now they are dead here. And among the other people who came in with us, Cold Knife and Mouse are also dead. Kong Sanye, the life and death of Datou and Datuan are uncertain. Grandpa and Zhang Dahai don't know where they are now, even the three people who came in with Uncle Zheng have died, and the remaining two are gone.
Seeing them, the feeling of escaping before was suddenly gone, and all that was left was deep helplessness, and I didn't know if we could get out of this cemetery. I believe that Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen also have such thoughts at this moment.
"Uncle Zheng, you can't go down here, it's here that the rat is possessed by a resentful spirit, and now there is such a situation again." I pointed to the corpse chrysalis on the ground and said, "I can't go any further, that is where Kong Sanye was dragged down by the body of the mouse, and there is a ghost qi nearby." ”
Hearing me say this, Zheng Wen also nodded in agreement, he has also experienced the ghost aura over there, and of course he knows how powerful it is. At first, Uncle Zheng didn't think so, but after hearing that we met Yan Qixue, he became solemn, and it seems that he also knows a lot about Yan Qixue.
After some discussion, we decided not to go down from this side, after all, the mausoleum of Concubine Pan Shu of Nanqi is really too dangerous, and there is already such a situation above, so you can imagine how dangerous it is below. Although I really wanted to go over there, from the place where Kong Sanye fell to the bottom, maybe I could still find the news of Kong Sanye.
However, there is a danger on this side. In the end, we decided to go down from the middle, that is, to the mausoleum of Princess Tongchang. First, this place is close to the mausoleum of Concubine Pan Shu of Nanqi, and secondly, the danger is relatively small. After making a plan, Zheng Wen and I followed behind Uncle Zheng, and as for the matter of finding the way, it still has to be left to a veteran like Uncle Zheng to do.
Since I met Uncle Zheng, I have found that I have trusted him more and more, although I don't know which force he belongs to, but the kind of trust that has been cultivated after experiencing life and death together cannot be replaced by anything else.
Uncle Zheng walked very slowly this time, and he was paying attention to the movements under his feet without taking a step, and I also paid attention to the changes in the jade pendant and the bronze medal. Since coming up, the jade pendant and the bronze medal have been silent, and there has been no change. This means that there have been no ghosts in the upper echelons so far.
Although this is a good thing, my heart is not so steady. The feeling is like the calm before a storm, and once it erupts, it can get out of control.
Besides, the cracks that appeared on the ground could be so neatly and cleanly, as if they had never appeared, which was particularly abnormal.
When I was thinking about the problem, Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen in front of me suddenly stopped, and I almost hit my head, and I hurriedly stopped.
"Right here, dig down." Uncle Zheng pointed to a certain location on the ground and said to me and Zheng Wen.
Taking out the shovel from the backpack, Zheng Wen and I dug it up at the place designated by Uncle Zheng. When he was digging, the jade pendant on his chest and the bronze medal on his waist became hot at the same time. I knew that this was to remind me that another ghost had appeared nearby, and when I raised my head to remind Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen, I realized that I didn't know when Zheng Wen and Uncle Zheng were no longer by my side.
When he looked around, he saw no sign of them. I was taken aback, and I shouted a few times, but they didn't answer. Suddenly, I felt a tremor on the ground, and a large crack appeared, and it was coming quickly towards me in the distance. I hurriedly picked up my bag and stood against the wall with a shovel, the crack was so large that it left me with only a pair of feet to tread.
But when I looked up, it made my scalp tingle. I saw Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen still digging down over there, and it was "me" standing next to Uncle Zheng, and that "I" was really laughing with Uncle Zheng.
I shouted loudly over there, but Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen didn't hear it at all, and they were still laughing and digging down with that "me". And that "I" glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and this glance shocked me even more, that person looked exactly like me, but a strange smile appeared on his face, just like the dark green grimace he had met before, and also like the dead Zhong Ah Si.
I estimated that the distance of the crack was probably less than two meters, and I should be able to jump through it deeply. I can't let that "I" hurt Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen, although they belong to the people of another force, but after all, they have experienced life and death together with me, and they can't be put in danger because of "me".
After calculating where to stay on the other side, I threw my backpack over and jumped out of it. Just when I thought I was going to land on the other side safely, I felt something grab my feet and pull them down hard. I was pulled into the crack.
As I fell through the crack, I saw the "me" above standing on the side looking at me with a weird smile, as if laughing at me. Then I fainted, and the last thing that came to my eye was the "me" and threw my backpack down.
I don't know how long it took for me to wake up. Looking at the dark surroundings, there was not a trace of light. I fumbled around, grabbed my backpack, took out a flashlight, and there was a lot of water coming out of it, and it looked like it couldn't be used. Luckily, there are a few glow sticks in my backpack that can be used for lighting.
Turn on the glow stick, and although the light is very dim, at least you can see something. After looking around, I realized that I was not in the tomb, but in a large empty space, and there were many murals on the walls around it. I looked at them one by one.
Look at the brushwork and color, it looks like the Tang Dynasty. The woman in the painting is plump, graceful and luxurious, and she can see the beauty of the country, and the crowd next to her hugs her, it seems that the woman's status is very noble.
Since the light of the glow stick can reach very small places, I can see it more slowly. But if you look at it and guess, you can also get a rough idea. Combining what is on the mural and what I know is just to know that this painting is the life and deeds of Princess Tongchang. Although Princess Tongchang was only twenty-one years old when she died, she was greatly praised in both the official history and the wild history, and it was well known.
After seeing the painting of Princess Tongchang dreaming of Concubine Pan Shu of Nanqi asking for Jiuluan Hairpin at night, it can be determined that this is indeed the mausoleum of Princess Tongchang. At the moment, my heart was relieved, since it was the place where Princess Tongchang was buried, there would not be too much danger.
At least compared to the place where Concubine Pan Shu of Nanqi was buried, it would be much safer. I didn't finish all the murals, although I wanted to see them too, but now that I've come down, the first task is of course to find the big head and the big group. The place where they and I were separated from it was the mausoleum of Princess Tongchang.
If they also fall, then they should be here. I began to look around the exit with a glow stick, and noticed several ajar stone doors.
When I see Shimen now, I am a little frightened. After all, the few stone gates on the side of the evil ghosts make me remember them deeply. Walking to the stone gate, he didn't rush in, but looked carefully around the door, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he slowly walked in step by step carefully, ready to evacuate at any time if something went wrong.
I don't know if it's my luck, or if this princess Tongchang has a good character, there is no danger in the stone gate. From the stone gate, you will enter the narrow tomb passage. The graveyard was cold, and it was even colder now that I was wearing the clothes that had been soaked in the water.
Now is not the time to dare to get sick, I stopped and took out a medicine from my backpack and ate it, took a sip of water, this water is still the bottle given by Uncle Zheng, and only after taking the medicine did I continue to walk forward.
This cemetery is very long, and it has not been completed after walking for more than ten minutes. I came across a fork in the road, and just as I was hesitating which way to go, I heard the sound of eager footsteps in the fork. And the jade pendant on my chest and the bronze medal on my waist were hot at the same time again.
