Chapter 44: The Secret Passage



As the soft silk stopped moving and the visibility increased, the fat man quickly understood what was going on, and suddenly showed a palpitating expression, and asked me if I was okay, I shook my head, and when I opened my mouth, I found that my voice was weak and hoarse: "I want to have something, can I still sit here." ”

Soon, we found out that something was wrong with Heqing, his biological brother, who was fine one moment ago, but his head flew in the next second and was cut into pieces of meat.

We didn't know how to persuade him, so we had to let him slow himself.

But after a long time, Heqing also looked like a puppet, we began to sit still, I was afraid that he would be stimulated to be stupid, and I thought about saying two words of comfort, but I haven't opened my mouth yet, the Zhang family has begun to comfort Heqing, the first to speak is Jinjing, it is useless to finish speaking, and then Zhang Tangrui, it is still useless, the Zhang family still has the river water left, and it is also comforted, it is still useless.

In the end, Zhang Tangrui frowned, slapped He Qing's face twice, and he stared at He Ming's head like a dead man, his face expressionless and his expression was dull.

The fat man looked at it and said, "It's over, stupid." ”

Jin Jing couldn't help but reddened his eyes, and said, "The parents of the two brothers died in an operation, and they have been dependent on each other since they were children, and now they ......."

The rest of us looked at each other, everyone had sweat on their faces, and they hadn't recovered from this stimulation for a long time, and after a while, Zhang Tangrui stabilized his emotions, looked at the stone room behind us again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did these organs suddenly stop?" ”

The fat man said: "It's in disrepair, this time it's the blessing of the ancestors, otherwise...... Naive, Second Master Wu knows that he will split the fat master and I will bury you with you. ”

At this time, Heshui, who had not spoken, suddenly shook his head and said, "No. I saw a man. He had a face that was very similar to that of the stuffy oil bottle, but he didn't have the indifference and calmness of the stuffy oil bottle, and his expression was a little shocked at the moment.

See someone?

Because of these words, all of us pulled our eyes back from Heqing and looked at the river.

He Shui pointed to the opposite corner of the stone chamber and said, "When I lay down and ran for my life, the floor tiles there suddenly flipped over, revealing a stone door, and there was a figure inside, he seemed to wave at us, and then the tiles flipped back again, and then the mechanism stopped." ”

I was dumbfounded.

How could there still be people here?

No, maybe there is. But in my speculation, if there are any living people here besides us, it will be only the stuffy oil bottle.

They must have been here two years ago, and their people can't stay in this place for two years, which means that there shouldn't be anyone else here.

Who was that figure that river saw?

Stuffy oil bottles?

If it's a stuffy bottle, why didn't he come out to see us?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "What does he look like?" How tall? How skinny? What to wear? He Shui was stunned and said with a wry smile: "The situation is too bad, where can I notice this, but ...... Looking at the figure, it should be a man. ”

I looked at the fat man, and the fat man said, "It's a little brother?" ”

I didn't say a word, I thought about it for a while, and then said, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." ”

The fat man hissed in his mouth and said, "It's not a little brother, is it a zongzi?" Zongzi saved us? ”

I was upset and said, "You are not a relative of Zongzi, what does it do to save you?" ”

Obviously, Zhang Tangrui and I have similar thoughts to the fat man, and we almost all agree that the person who stopped the mechanism is probably a stuffy oil bottle. But what is puzzling is, if it is really a stuffy oil bottle, why didn't he show up? Don't you want to see us?

Suddenly, I thought of another reason, perhaps, he didn't want to see the people around me, such as Zhang Tangrui and others. I believe that after so many proofs, he should have recovered a longer memory, so he should have a deep understanding of Zhang Tangrui and others, the obvious characteristics of the Zhang family. Could it be that they have opinions on Zhang Tangrui and others?

I thought about it, and I couldn't help but frown.

Jin Jing said in a low voice: "If it's not the patriarch, who will it be?" Could it be that someone got here before we did? ”

I said, "The people who came here before us came here two years ago, but they can't stay here for two years, unless the so-called ultimate power takes a long time to receive. ”

Zhang Tangrui was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "It's not impossible. After a pause, he said: "When the patriarch came to the mainland, it was also for the ultimate, and since then, he has disappeared without a trace, and we sent people to the mainland to inquire about the news in the second year of his disappearance, but at that time, it can almost be said that there is no trace, and the mute Zhang has not yet appeared on the road." I suspect that the patriarch must have been in this place for quite some time when he first came here, so he didn't leave any clues. Perhaps, as you said, the power here will take a long time to receive. ”

I couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, and I only felt heavy in my heart. Are they really still here?

No!

It is impossible, if it is them, no one else will be allowed to enter, it is a blessing not to kill us, how can it be possible to save us?

We sat in the safe zone, and we couldn't figure it out for a moment. In the end, I said, "No matter who it is, but since there are people who can be hidden, it means that there is a secret passage, so we might as well dig it up and take a look, it is better than pushing the door one by one." ”

After speaking, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Seriously, the ancestors of your Zhang family are too perverted, this organ, we were originally going to be wiped out, and the next stone door, I want to ask, do you still have the courage to push it open?" Anyway, I don't have it now. "This is definitely the truth, the mechanism designed by the Zhang family is clean and murderous, just like these soft silks, from starting to stopping, to dividing Heming's body, the whole process definitely does not exceed 40 seconds.

How many people can do it in 40 seconds?

Their mechanism is too sharp, there is no room for respite at all, as long as you push the door open, what you are facing must be a face to face with death, and it can be expected that the next mechanism, just like playing a game, is bound to be more dangerous than the other, even the mechanism in front of us, we are unable to pass, what qualifications do we have to push down a stone door?

I'll admit that I'm a little scared, but that's definitely not the main reason. The real reason is that I realize that this endless attempt to break through one mechanism after another is a complete act of suicide and does not contribute to our purpose in any way.

And now, we've found a clue, maybe a shortcut, to avoid the procedure of breaking through the level, so why not give it a try?

After I asked, Zhang Tangrui was silent for a long time, and finally he said, "Go and dig out that secret tunnel." "When we came to an agreement, we cautiously moved to where the river was pointing. During this period, Ha Qing still did not react, like a puppet, I was very worried, because this is not on the ground, this is underground, in his state, once there is any emergency, I am afraid that he will definitely die.

Soon, we arrived at the location where the river was pointing, and since the situation was unknown, the next thing was handled by the more professional Zhang family. There is no need to repeat the process, after Zhang Tangrui went through the investigation, he said: "It seems that this is solid, and there should be no secret passage." However, it is not excluded that there is a situation where the brick layer is thickened, creating the illusion of solidity. But be careful, we can't force it. ”

The fat man said: "What should I do, you speak out, let's work." ”

Zhang Tangrui said: "You can't do this job, just watch from the side and take care of him." He pointed at Ha Qing.

Immediately afterwards, they began to move, using a very small chisel to finely chisel through the brick joints, and then, they slowly clamped out with the strange fingers of the Zhang family. Zhang Tangrui and others are sideline, the so-called no pressure has no motivation, so they don't practice the Tao, and the river water is a direct line, and the fingers can be clearly seen to be different from ordinary people. After Zhang Tangrui and others chiseled the brick joint, he slowly pulled out with two strangely long fingers, looking very focused, as if he was feeling something through his fingers

I subconsciously glanced at the fat man and saw that he was also looking at me, and it was clear that we were reminded of our shared memories.

In addition to his personality, in other aspects, he is too much like a stuffy oil bottle, especially now this focused demeanor, which reminds me of the time when I went to the palace of King Lu and smoked floor tiles from the stuffy oil bottle.

At that time, I was young, I didn't have any pressure, I was completely curious and insightful.

At the time, I looked down on the stuffy oil bottle, but now, we are brothers in life and death.

At that time, where would we have thought of today's ending?

The events of life are so unpredictable, and a person you meet inadvertently by chance may be involved with you for a long, long time. And the person who has been involved with you for a long time, you think you know him well enough, but in the end, you find that he has so many secrets, such as the third uncle, the second uncle, and more people I am familiar with, I thought I knew them very well, but I never knew that behind them, there were many heavy burdens.

By the time everything is seen through now, it's already too late.
