A few of us hung on the cliff, neither found the shadow of the fourth master, nor lost contact with Linglong. Where are the four masters? What's going on?

Although the wind here is not strong, we hang on the cliff with ropes, and the shaking amplitude is not small. For safety, several of us clinged to the cliff wall and stood on the edge of the hanging coffin.

The scholar said: "Mr. Xia, where do you say the fourth master can go?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Let's just use the elimination method." The top and left and right sides can be excluded, and when I came down, I paid special attention to them, and there was no trace of them at all. Moreover, the slide locks and hooks of several of them are at this height, and the fourth master should have been here. Excluding the top and left and right, where else will it go? ”

The scholar said: "Are you stupid, except for these few directions, there is only the following." Yes! Could it be, you mean, the fourth master, they fell?! ”

"At first, I speculated, but the fourth master, Lao Xu, Ah Shun and Sangda, four people, some of them are first-class, some are experienced, and some are familiar with the terrain, even if they encounter danger, can the four of them have an accident at the same time? This is unlikely. Besides, the gunshots rang out at that time, and the sound was muffled. And the time between the time we heard the gunshots and the time we came down was very short. Even if the fourth master and a few of them are at the bottom of the cliff, they can't go far now, and the gunfire shouldn't be so muffled. ”

"Mr. Xia, you are going around and around, and the Sprinkle family has been completely blinded. Don't intervene, sprinkle the family and sort it out. What you said, Mr. Xia, there was no trace of the fourth master above and on the left and right, and there was only one direction left below, but you said again, if it was below, the gunfire would not be so muffled. You're a two-headed block. There are four directions in total, up and down, left and right, and you have all denied it. Fourth master, can they still go to the diamond head? ”

I smiled and said, "Banren, you said the wrong thing, and you said the right thing. ”

Now scholars, Zhao Ming, Wang Yong, Sun Fei and Zhang Shijun are all in the circle. The scholar said: "Mr. Xia, can't you not go around in circles?" Straight up, what exactly did you come up with? ”

"You said that there are four directions, up, down, left and right, which is wrong."

"Damn, can you be serious? How many directions can there be, not four? ”

"Board man, the four directions are in two dimensions, such as a square. But we live in a three-dimensional space, and in any place, it can be described by a cube, that is, there are not only up, down, left and right, but also front and back directions, or it can be called 'inside and outside'."

I looked at the five of them thoughtfully, and then said, "The sentence you said correctly is 'Fourth Master, they got into the stone'. That's what I'm talking about inside and out. If they descend according to the fourth master and face the cliff, then the front is the inside, that is, the direction of the stone wall, and the rear is the outside, which is the direction of the suspension. Obviously, the fourth master can't go in the direction of the outside, they can only go inside. ”

The scholar's eyes widened, stared at me, and said, "Mr. Xia, you mean, they got in?" As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the cliff.

I saw that the scholar's surprised look was very funny, so I reached out and flicked the scholar's finger down.

The scholar shouted, "Hanging coffin? Coffin! You mean the fourth master, they got into the coffin?! ”

"Right. If I'm not mistaken, there must be something strange about this ghost sarcophagus, and there should be a mechanism. ”

According to my deployment, let Zhao Ming and Wang Yong, the two best marksmen, retract the zipline upwards, lock the slide handle, and hold the gun in two directions, left and right, a little higher than us. The four of them, Scholar, Sun Fei, Zhang Shijun and I, carefully groped around on both sides of the ghost coffin, looking for organs.

Not to mention Sanda, the skills of the fourth master and Ah Shun are outstanding, and Lao Xu has rich archaeological experience, even they are all on the road, and even use guns, it can be seen that if I guess correctly, this ghost hanging coffin is by no means good. I keep reminding everyone to concentrate and be cautious.

But after a long time of searching, I didn't find any mechanism. The scholar was a little deflated and asked me: "Mr. Xia, you are also a little Zhuge . I'm afraid the horse will miss this time, right? From the point of view of the Sprinkle family, this ghost hanging coffin is nothing remarkable, it is just a big wooden coffin, and some ghost texts are painted on the lid. Otherwise, let's pry it open. ”

"You're talking lightly, we don't have a crowbar in our hands, what are we going to pry open? Besides, you see, this hanging coffin has no traces of prying at all, and the fourth master should not have prying it either. There should be other options. ”

At this moment, suddenly the sound of gunfire began again, and this time we heard it from the vicinity of the hanging coffin. We all hugged the hanging coffin on one side of our faces, and even patted and knocked, but there was still no response.

The scholar and I lowered the zipline down and down, clinging to the hanging coffin, and now on the gentle slope of the cliff wall, we pushed the hanging coffin hard. Sun Fei and the others didn't know why, but they also came to help us. The four of them worked together, and the coffin made a crisp sound of "clang", and we actually pushed the lid open. We were also stunned, seeing that the coffin lid was pushed open a small crack, afraid that there would be a mechanism or corpse poison, we all flashed aside. After waiting for a while, there was no other reaction, and then they came over and pushed the lid of the coffin together.

No matter how hard we tried this time, the coffin board didn't move. The scholar said: "No, the strength of the Sprinkle family is so strong that it is impossible not to push the lid of this coffin." I'm afraid there's something in there, right? ”

I pulled out my laser flashlight from behind my waist and shone it through the gap. There seemed to be something moving in the coffin, and the gap was too small to be seen.

The scholar stabbed it inside with a dagger, and the coffin lid suddenly bounced up. We were caught off guard and flipped out, but luckily we were able to secure the rope to the cliff wall, otherwise we would have hurt ourselves if we slapped on the rock.

I tried to stabilize my body and approached the hanging coffin, only to see that it was bare, and there were no corpses. There is only one hole at the bottom, and it is impossible to see it in the dark.

The scholars also came over one after another. The scholar said repeatedly: "Hey, it's really strange. The Sprinkle family clearly saw something moving in the coffin just now, but now there is nothing. Hey, no, there's a hole there? Could that thing in the coffin just now get into it? ”

"Fourth Master and Brother Shun, they may also be inside." Zhao Ming said.

"Let's go, let's go in. But we can't walk clean like the fourth master, so we have to leave some instructions above. "I adjusted the zipline, lowered it into the coffin, stepped on it, and saw that it was stronger, so I unfastened the lock, then took out a pen and paper from my waist bag, wrote down the situation and where we were going, and then tied the letterhead to the rope with a strap, and then got into the hole in the corner of the coffin.

This hole is very cleverly designed. Who would have thought that there was a hanging coffin on the cliff wall of Wanren that was an empty coffin, and this empty coffin was cleverly placed on a protruding stone, and this protruding stone had a cave connecting the empty coffin and the stone wall. If there is no chance meeting, it is difficult for outsiders to find this place.

There must be some secret hidden in such a clever and hidden design, which makes me feel a little surprised and excited. But the disappearance of the fourth master and the gunfire just now made me uneasy. My intuition tells me that there are many dangers in this cave, but in order to find the fourth master and Lao Xu them, I can't take too much care of them now.

Originally, I wanted to leave one person to guard outside, but firstly, I didn't know what was going on inside, and there was always a response when there were many people, and secondly, people outside had to face threats such as volume consumption and air turbulence. After discussing it for a while, we should advance and retreat together, and after leaving a note for Linglong and them, the six of us entered the cave.

As soon as I entered, I saw neat steps. This directly indicates that this place should be built by man, not by nature. There is a high probability that there will be a deadly mechanism in such an artificially set up hiding place, so I told everyone to be very cautious, and all of them took out their guns and moved forward vigilantly.

The intercom was still a little sound at first, but now it is completely out of signal. Everyone in my unit got lost, so I asked everyone to turn on the laser flashlight and adjust it to the state of astigmatism illumination, one followed by the other, and the front and back were taken care of.

It feels cool all the time, and the sweat on my body is dried after a while, which is very comfortable. The scholar said that this situation indicates that there should be other sources leading to the outside.

The scholar whispered: "Do you think there will be ghosts here?" I knew that I was going to drill this hole, so I took the blind guy down with me. ”

"Banren, if you talk nonsense again to disturb the army's heart and hurt my morale, I'm welcome. You are also a newspaper reporter, trained by the proletariat for many years, and you actually believe in strange forces. ”

"Your uncle, Xia Nan! Sensei and the sprinkle family are online on this platform. Have you seen too little along the way? The brainless people of the ghost tribe, the big zongzi of the chieftain tribe, can you explain it to me with science? The scholar argued with reason.

"Definitely, this is not a place to talk to you in vain, let's find the fourth master and talk to them first."

I think that the appearance of such a cave out of thin air in the middle of this cliff is difficult to do much in terms of ancient productivity. Surprisingly, this cave is indeed not small, and I can't really imagine how ancient people did these feats.

The height of the cave is average, but the space is tortuous, and you can't see what kind of structure it is at a glance, only the layers of stone walls can be seen, like a labyrinth.

I was thinking about which way to get in when suddenly a white shadow flashed in front of me, as if something had come out of front right and disappeared. I was afraid that I would be dazzled and mistaken, but the scholar and Zhao Ming both said that they had seen it too. Looks like there's something.

Without my call, everyone held their pistols tightly in their hands and turned on the safe.

Zhao Ming said: "Xia Ye, Han Ye, the terrain here is complex, the space is tortuous and repeated, try not to shoot without very special circumstances, otherwise it is easy to accidentally injure your own people by stray bullets." "Zhao Ming is very experienced, and he was afraid that we would not understand, so he told us in advance how to use firearms at close range.

I was also afraid of my hands, in case it would be easy to hit my own people if I missed, so I silently turned off the gun safe, stuck it behind my waist, and took out the general's stabbing dagger casually.
