Chapter 34: Choice
Qin Shi is the name of that photographer. If you have already got your hands on it today, it is relatively safer to return the way you came, after all, we know the situation. However, when Team Liu came, there were many road mechanisms, and they fainted for a period of time in the middle, and they did not know the path, relatively speaking, it would increase a lot of unknown risks.
Now, whether it is to save people or to escape, they have to follow the original path of Team Liu.
This three-story stone platform is located in the center, and above it is the figure of the person who controls the mechanism. On the opposite side of the portrait, there was an arched passage, and the flashlight hit it in the dark, and Team Liu said that he came out of that passage.
When everyone heard this, they didn't delay much, packed up their equipment, and Team Liu led the way in front and entered the passage.
This arched passage has no signs of collapse, there are no cracks around, it looks relatively solid, surrounded by walls, there are also many reliefs carved, mostly some mythological stories, silkworms and fish motif themes, the figure looks ancient and simple, but the carving is extremely detailed, even after so long, there is no trace of rough edges.
While walking, Team Liu introduced us to the situation ahead, the current section of the road we are taking is relatively safe, there is no mechanism,
At the end of the passage is a large, heavy stone door, which is a single manipulation, that is, it can only activate the mechanism from the outside, and we are now inside the door. However, Team Liu and the others had already known that this was a single mechanism in their previous experience, so when she opened the stone gate to enter this passage, she specially put some iron tools under the stone gate, so that the stone gate was not completely closed, leaving a gap for one person to climb through.
I lay on the ground and struck the light behind the stone gate, which was an upward staircase as Team Liu described, and we climbed out through the gap that flowed out at the bottom. The structure of the stone steps is straight, only about thirty or forty steps, and when the light goes up, you can see the head.
At the end of the stone steps, there is a large iron gate, which shows that at that time, 01 was extremely important, and every ten meters is almost a gate. However, the iron gate is not as good as the stone gate, and now it has been crumbling due to decay, and it has been destroyed by the Liu team with iron tools before, so there is a hole in the middle that can be drilled in and out of the middle.
The one-eyed dragon touched his head and said, "We're climbing and drilling, and we're drilling gophers." ”
The inverted bucket was originally called the 'earth mouse', and it is appropriate to compare it to a drill gopher, and we drilled through the iron gate, and behind the door was a slightly larger round arched space, facing an arched wall, which looked very strange. Who would build the stone chamber like this? It was as if a circle had been cut in half from the middle, and now we were facing away from the straight line, and the stone wall in front of us was in an arc.
It's the first time I've seen such a structure, and I don't know what the meaning is.
In the light of the flashlight, I saw that there were six passages on the arched door in front of us, and it seemed that we wanted to choose the same.
The one-eyed dragon couldn't help but hiss, touched his chin and said, "No, there is something wrong with this structure." ”
I nodded in agreement. In fact, in large tombs or some hidden buildings, such methods of deception are very common, often in several passages, only one path is correct, and the rest are all mechanisms.
But the problem now is that we are coming in the opposite direction, and it stands to reason that the route we are on now should be the correct route, so it is impossible for us to have several passages in front of us. The real direction of development is that we go all the way out of the passage, and then we realize that we have walked out of one of the passages before.
But now, the whole process is completely reversed, and a multiple-choice question that shouldn't be there is in front of us, so at this point, we should not be thinking about which path to choose, but what is going on with this strange structure.
If we compare our place to the end, it means that these six passages, which extend from different places, finally converge where we are now.
What's the point?
I asked Team Liu directly what she saw at the time, Team Liu frowned, pointed to a passage facing us, and said, "I came out of this passage, as for the previous incident, I don't know, I fainted at that time, it was Qin Shi who carried me." ”
I said, "So in this passage you came out, are there any other secret passages or secret rooms?" ”
Team Liu looked at me strangely, shook his head and said, "Of course not, it's safe inside." ”
Safe? I couldn't help but sneer and said, "So, since Qin Shi entered this passage with you on his back, and there are no secret passages and secret rooms in the passage, the end of the passage is where we are now, and the whole thing is a road, in this case, how did Qin Shi disappear?" ”
Team Liu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in his expression, obviously lying.
Hongmao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Beauty, we are all rough people, we don't know what to pity and cherish jade, if you don't want to suffer hardship, you can think clearly about it." Team Liu looked wolf, his eyes rolled a few times, and finally he was deflated, and said, "It's me who is too nervous to say it." I did come out of this passage, I don't lie to you, but Qin Shi, he, he...... He also died. ”
The one-eyed dragon frowned, "How did you die?" ”
Team Liu took a deep breath and said, "I killed him, and after I came out, I hid his body there." This time, she pointed to another passage, apparently throwing the body inside.
I couldn't help but say, "Why? "We are a group of people who have blood on our hands, and I am not surprised that she kills, but I am surprised that she has a motive for killing.
My words seemed to touch some forbidden area, her body trembled, and after a moment she spoke, her voice was hoarse: "I said, he was insane, at first, he kept carrying me forward, and then suddenly stopped and began to choke my neck, so I used a dagger to ......" As she spoke, she seemed to be in extreme pain, pulling her hair and squatting down. For an ordinary person who has never killed anyone, such a killing experience is indeed enough to make people go crazy in pain, not to mention that before that, the photographer saved him.
The reason why she called Qin Shi missing seemed to be because she didn't want her murder to be exposed.
We looked at each other, and in the end, in order to confirm, I asked the lazy guy and the red hair and others to wait outside, and went to the passage where Team Liu pointed out to hide the corpse.
Walking more than ten meters away into the passage, she saw Qin Shi's corpse, as Team Liu described, Qin Shi was pinching her neck at that time, so in a hurry, she pulled out a dagger and stabbed the other party's back.
Qin Shi's back was bloody, he was stabbed several times, the whole person was already stiff, the passage was filled with the smell of blood, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be dead.
It is estimated that no one expected that they would die in an ordinary expedition.
I looked at the one-eyed dragon and finally shook my head, and then I felt the solid fuel sprinkled on Qin Shi's body, and then lit the fire.
The fire burned brightly, and the one-eyed dragon read the message in his mouth: "Brother, go on the road, all the way to the west; There is Yan Jun in the underworld, and the Buddha is in Bliss; Accumulating blessings and virtues, the consumer security guard is happy to ...... "The fire is getting bigger and bigger, I stared at Qin Shi's gradually charred corpse, and my heart felt like a boulder.
If what Team Liu said is true, then is Wen Min also ......
The smell of burnt corpses was so bad in the passage that the one-eyed dragon and I had to go out before the corpses were burned. At this time, the fire was bright, and the situation in the passage became clear, but I saw that there were many reliefs on the wall, and the content of the carvings was different from what I had seen before.
I intuitively felt that there was something strange about this passage, so I walked out quickly with the one-eyed dragon, although the red-haired and the others were waiting outside, they also saw the firelight, and I talked to the one-eyed dragon more, and several people also knew the situation. At this time, the lazy man was looking at these passages. He went through every passage, not deep, but he seemed to have mastered some rules.
He pointed to the passage where Team Liu came out, shook his head and said, "Wrong." ”
Wrong? Could it be that Team Liu is lying again?
Immediately afterwards, with the lazy man's next words, we realized that the mistake he said was not that Team Liu was lying, but that she and Qin Shi chose this channel to enter in the first place, which was a mistake in itself.
He said: "The reliefs inside are evil ghosts, mountain stones, monsters, gods, human figures, and eyes. ”
The one-eyed dragon said: "What is the special meaning of these? ”
The lazy man clasped his hands around his chest, stood lazily, and said: "I don't know, the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom is originally very peculiar, if we are here at the end of the eight passages, then the starting point of the eight passages must be in different locations." The way they chose to enter the dungeon was wrong at the beginning, which is why they encountered so many dangers. ”
Team Liu blinked and said, "So that's the case...... That path is my choice. As she spoke, she seemed to lose her strength and sat on the ground.
The one-eyed dragon touched his head and said, "In other words, the path chosen by Team Liu is wrong, so shall we still go?" ”
The lazy man said very frankly: "The ancient Shu Kingdom worships the eye, so the right way should be this one...... No believer in any religion would play tricks under the nose of the gods. Now that we know the right path, we can't go down the wrong path. ”
The one-eyed dragon looked at me and said to the lazy man, "But Officer Gu, they're still ......," he said halfway, and didn't continue.
The lazy man still stood lazily and said, "I can't risk it for two corpses, Zhen Rui came to me just to help you find the eye of the sky, but not for me to send him to death." ”
At this moment, all eyes were on me.
Do you just follow the right route and go out, or do you go back to the dangerous route and go in search of the two corpses?
