Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 56 Sneak Attack
Lantern Xiao and I were like this, back to back, knowing that we saw a tomb wall in front of us.
Lantern Xiao reached out and touched it, "We've come to the end?" ”
"Phew!" I took three sips, "I said Lantern Festival, can you be auspicious when you speak, how can you tell us to come to the end!" At the end, it will be you at the end, and I still have a long way to go! ”
Lantern Xiao pursed her lips, "Yo, yo, when are you still paying attention!" Aren't you Faqiu sect calling yourself Faqiu Heavenly Official, paying attention to the blessing of Heavenly Officials, and there are no taboos. ”
"Yes," I nodded, "yes, if it were me now, this kind of scene would be trivial to our Faqiu Zhonglang General, but now that you are such a burden, I have to be careful." lest you be burdened. ”
Lantern Xiao sneered, "Say you're fat and you're still panting!" ”
"Speak of yourself!" As I spoke, I looked at the walls, and there were some murals painted on them, which looked brightly colored, but unfortunately the colors faded a little over time, but the contents of the paintings were clearly recognizable.
I touched it with my hand, and the picture fell off a bit, and my fingers were stained with some color. I looked closely at the walls after the picture had fallen off, and I knew that these frescoes must have been painted a long time after the tomb was built.
Lantern Xiao came over, "How did you find anything?" Is there anything wrong with these murals? ”
I pointed to the mural and said, "These should have been painted after Xu Fu came in again when he buried Xiongnu Shan Yu." ”
Lantern Xiao also walked to the wall and looked at the colorful pictures carefully, "How do you know, why can't I see it?" ”
I smiled, "Don't you forget what kind of major your buddy is?" ”
Lantern Xiao scratched her head, "Your major is called ...... Call...... It's called ancient Chinese civil engineering, what is it? ”
I stretched out my hand to interrupt the Lantern Festival, "Okay, that doesn't matter. ”
I pointed to the mural and said to the Lantern Festival: "Since this is an island, the moisture in the air will be heavier, although judging from the dry situation in the tomb now, effective moisture-proof measures must have been taken here, but the general environment cannot be changed." So if these frescoes are just built in the tomb, they are painted. Even in the process of building a tomb, it is painted while it is being built, so that the picture itself will penetrate and integrate with the wall more tightly, and the water will float outside. However, these frescoes and the tomb wall only have a layer of water vapor, which indicates that the tomb wall was repaired for a long time, and the water soaked into it before it was painted. This also makes these murals fall off when touched.
As I spoke, I used my flashlight to shine on the other pictures on the wall, "Fortunately, we are now in and can record the contents of these murals, otherwise in a few later years, I am afraid that these murals will fall off in large areas, and by that time, nothing will be visible." ”
Lantern Xiao didn't think much of my words, "I think you're just looking for some high-sounding reasons for your inverted behavior, Zhuo Ran, you always come to inverted with an archaeological mentality, and sooner or later you will be schizophrenic." Obviously a tomb robber, but you always have a sense of responsibility to protect cultural heritage, are you a professional disease! ”
I was stunned when Lantern Festival said it. Indeed, if the first trip to the ancient tombs of Qilian Mountain was an unexpected trip, then the current trip to Qinling on the island should be the first inverted operation that I took the initiative to participate in. However, I don't seem to have completed my transformation from an ordinary otaku to a tomb robber, and when we encounter danger and difficulty, the first word that comes to my mind is to call the police.
Lantern Xiao pushed me, interrupting my thoughts, "Zhuo Ran, let's hurry back and see if the second uncle has come back and if there is any gain." Besides, I think it's quite evil here, so let's go back and discuss countermeasures. ”
"Okay." I nodded, and the two of us started turning and walking back. Because of the incident of the small white handprint behind the Lantern Festival just now, we were very worried in our hearts, and a trace of fear spread in our hearts, so we were much faster than when we came, and at the same time kept looking behind ourselves to prevent something from sneaking up from behind.
As we walked in the dark tomb, Lantern Xiao asked, "Hey, Zhuo Ran, did you say that the second uncle and Wenmo have gone back now?" ”
I shook my head, "I don't know. But we didn't see the flashlight in their hands! ”
Speaking of this, I suddenly froze for a moment, and suddenly realized a very strange question in my heart, if this tomb is as big as the shadow hall above, it means that the space here is not particularly huge, in this case, why can't we see the second uncle's flashlight?
I thought as I walked, and for a while, we didn't speak.
I turned to look at Lantern Xiao, and found that Lantern Xiao looked around, while looking down and pondering, looking at him as if he was thinking about something, I didn't know if he was the same as what I thought, so I casually asked, "What do you want about Lantern Festival?" ”
Lantern Xiao pondered for a moment, "Hearing what you just said, I suddenly remembered that we hadn't seen the second uncle and their flashlight all the way, you must know that the space here is not so big that the flashlight can't penetrate." ”
Sure enough, Lantern Xiao and I thought about one thing, so I nodded, "That's right, I was thinking about this question just now, this matter is really strange." ”
Lantern Xiao paused and said, "Could it be...... Second uncle, they're missing too, right? ”
"Holy!" Hearing Lantern Xiao's words, my back was a burst of ice, "No!" It won't happen! How can someone disappear for no reason? ”
"It can't be for nothing," Lantern continued, "it's very likely that he received some kind of attack, like that little handprint patted behind me." ”
I shook my head, "Just that little handprint, even you can't hurt it, and you can still shoot the two of them missing?!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Lantern Xiao said seriously, "Maybe I have more than one monster that filmed me just now, it was a small monster that filmed me just now, maybe there is a big one over there." ”
I still think it's unlikely, "No matter what kind of monster it is, it is absolutely impossible for the second uncle and Wenmo to be taken down without saying a word." ”
"But," Lantern Xiao said with some hesitation, "How did I find out that the green light at the starting point that the second uncle set with the glow stick just now couldn't be seen?" ”
"No, it won't." I looked forward, and sure enough, I didn't see the green glow from the two glowsticks. This scene made my heart beat wildly, and my heart said no, is it really only the two of us left here, or is it actually only the two of us who are really missing? My mind began to be full of thoughts, and the two of us involuntarily began to speed up our pace.
Then we almost trotted forward, desperate to see if the two glowsticks were still there. Rather, we want to be sure where we really are.
We were running, and suddenly, a slight sound behind me caught my attention, I hurriedly grabbed Lantern Xiao and motioned him not to move, Lantern Xiao asked me nervously, "What's wrong?" What's going on again? ”
I motioned for him to shut up, and then listened carefully, but I found that the voice behind me had disappeared as well, and I raised my flashlight and shone it back, but I didn't find anything unusual, only the stone pillar and the lamp slave. Under the light of the flashlight, coupled with the strange sound just now, the stone pillar and the friendly lamp slave that seemed ordinary just now also began to become weird at this time.
I was looking around, and Lantern Xiao suddenly pulled my clothes, "Zhuo Ran, you see that the second uncle has gone back." ”
When I heard this, I was shocked, and I quickly turned my head and looked along the line of sight of Lantern Xiao, and found that not very far ahead, there were two glow sticks emitting a bright green light. And in that bright green light, a figure with a bag on his back was standing there.
"Hey, when we looked at it just now, it didn't seem to be there yet, why did it suddenly appear?" I asked with some curiosity about Lantern Festival.
Lantern Xiao also shook her head, "When I turned my head and turned back just now, I suddenly found that the glow stick was lit up in front of me. ”
Anyway, we were happy to see someone come back and hurried forward. At this time, we saw that the figure moved, but the speed of movement was a little slow, and the posture was a little weird, and he actually sat on the glow stick.
Lantern Xiao and I understood at a glance, no wonder we didn't find the location of the glow stick just now, it turned out that it was blocked by this person, but why did he do this, was he afraid that something would find here.
Thinking of this, Lantern Xiao shook his flashlight in that direction and said, "Hey, I said who is that!" Why is it still ......?"
Before Lantern Xiao's words were finished, I saw a black shadow flashing next to me, and then, Lantern Xiao was thrown to the ground, and Lantern Xiao could only make a "woo" sound, obviously covering her mouth.
As soon as I reacted, I wanted to reach out to help Lantern Festival, but as soon as my legs opened, my flashlight was held by something I don't know, and then it was turned off with a "snap", my eyes were dark, and I just wanted to scream, my mouth was immediately covered, and I was thrown to the ground at the same time.
I looked at your Lantern Festival in front of me, and the Lantern Festival was no longer moving. When I saw this scene, I was shocked, could it be that I had fainted or even died? The flashlight of the Lantern Festival has also been turned off, and my eyes are plunged into darkness. All you could see was the two glow sticks.
I fell to the ground and struggled desperately, when the man whispered in my ear: "Don't move, I'm your second uncle!" ”
