Chapter 148: A Secret That Can't Be Contained
Yuan An seemed to listen to me very carefully, then nodded and said a strange word, "I hope so, but sometimes I can't help myself!" Maybe you don't even know yourself anymore. β
I thought this was a bit strange, and I wanted to ask clearly, but Yuan An continued: "You asked me just now, why did the four major families enter Gurbantunggut twenty years ago, and then go to the ancient country of Shanhuan, I can tell you that what we did was basically similar to them," said, Yuan An pointed to the war scene on the mural, "Eternal life or resurrection can also be called resurrection, for anyone, it is an irresistible thing, and we are no exception, now I think about it at that time It was also naΓ―ve, how can eternal life be so simple, throughout the ages." , Thousands of years of history, who can really do it, occasionally someone touches a little bit of the skin, but how miserable the end is, the shaman of the island tomb and the Huan found in the ancient country of Shan Huan are living examples, people are not ghosts, and they will eventually disappear again. β
Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and asked: "But that Huandu and the shaman wizard, the wind and horses and cows are not related, I can understand that Huandu has a glimmer of heaven, but what about the shaman archwizard, a wizard of the northern nomadic people, how can he get such a secret!" β
At this time, the second uncle looked at us and said, "Do you remember what I once told you about the incident of the 'Huns in the south' in history? β
I blurted out: "In other words, after the demise of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, it was the Xiongnu who got this secret?!" β
After saying this, I suddenly had a splitting headache.
I remember that a long time ago, probably after that experience in Qilian Mountain, I had a feeling that behind those inextricably linked events, there was a huge secret hidden! But I didn't expect that now, when I finally saw a hint of the secret behind it, I found that it was so huge that it seemed to be too big for my brain to fit in!
I rubbed my head, leaned on the stone wall and didn't want to speak, originally I had a lot of questions in my head, but I didn't expect to suddenly get so many answers and clues today, so many that I even forgot all the previous questions! My mind was a mess, and I decided to take the time to summarize it and sort it out when I got back!
I leaned against the wall, resting with my eyes slightly closed, trying to empty my mind and get enough rest. In such a place, in addition to ensuring the supply of nourishment, the most important thing is to rest and relax, and pay attention to decompressing yourself, otherwise your spirit will be tense all the time, and it will be easy to collapse once you encounter a sudden situation.
For a while, no one spoke, so I sat quietly, and the excitement I had just felt gradually calmed down. I wanted to take a nap, but I couldn't sleep.
Suddenly, I heard a strange and business, short and powerful voice, and I couldn't help but open my eyes with a spirit, it seemed to be a sound of Kui!
I turned my head to look at Wen Mo, who obviously heard the voice too, and sat up straight vigilantly. In this way, I was not wrong about what I heard, and I immediately said, "Everyone, be careful!!" That one came along! β
As soon as I said this, everyone became nervous, Yuan An got up and glanced at the darkness behind him, "Everyone get out of here as soon as possible, go forward, quickly!" β
We hurriedly picked up the equipment, and the Cass stove and pot that Yuan Jiji took out to prepare to boil water next to him had no time to put away, so we had to discard them. Tian Laosi scolded, "Burn a fart at this time!" Can you die if you drink less hot water? While urging everyone to hurry forward.
We trotted all the way down the passage. But we soon discovered a problem, the passage was very long, and it was fundamentally flanked by solid rocks, and as the sound of the Kui behind us got closer and closer, we didn't even have a place to hide.
Lantern Xiao complained while running, "I knew that I wouldn't rest just now, just run away, the province is so embarrassed now!" β
Tian Laosi was immediately unconvinced, "You don't come here as an afterthought, when you were resting just now, you ate more than anyone else!" β
Lantern Xiao was suddenly a little speechless, and waved his hand, "I think it's really not good, let's turn around and fight!" β
However, according to my understanding of the Lantern Festival, nine times out of ten, he is still thinking about Kui's skin, but he can't do anything to kill everything, but if he is forced to do it, then it is another matter.
At this time, the footsteps behind Kui are getting closer and closer, just when it feels like we are really going to fight Kui. An arch appeared in front of the passage!
This situation gives us hope again, and although we don't know what's behind the arch, it at least brings a little bit of a turnaround.
When we got closer, we clearly felt that this arch was much taller than what we had usually seen, including the two stone doors carved with yin and yang coupling patterns that we had just passed, which were also surprisingly tall. These seem to be tailor-made for that one.
Passing through the archway, we stopped and looked around, only to find that there were stone walls on all sides, and there was still no place to stay or hide.
At this time, we can already hear Kui's footsteps more clearly, and its low roar. Compared to the calm when I first met, Kui at this time seems to sound a little manic. The sound of ping-pong metal hitting behind me sounded, and I knew that it must have been the Kas stove and pot we had just dropped were blown away!
This made my heart can't help but be surprised, not only manic, but also for the foreign objects that appeared in front of him, Kui also showed a stronger aggression, I don't know why the original docile and even some cute Kui, as soon as he entered here, such a transformation occurred, which is probably bad news for us!
Hearing the voice just now indicates that we and this kui are about to meet again. Lantern Xiao pulled up the bolt of the gun with a "swoop", "How is it?" Let's fight it! Let's fire together, it won't be able to withstand it! β
Now, I'm afraid there is no other way, I turned my head to look at the second uncle, but the second uncle didn't speak, and still kept running forward. Yuan An also did not express his position.
Lantern Xiao said eagerly: "Second uncle, Uncle An, you have a word!" β
Yuan An suddenly turned his head and said to the guy: "Cold fireworks, three, throw them outside the arch!" β
The guys of the Yuan family responded, and soon the three cold fireworks were thrown out, and the sudden white light made us who had adapted to the darkness feel very dazzling, and I couldn't help but turn my head over immediately.
Lantern Xiao covered her eyes with her arms and complained: "You guys are treating the symptoms but not the root cause, just delaying for a while!" β
The second uncle looked at Lantern Xiao and said, "What we need is time!" Stop talking nonsense! Come on! β
Being blocked by a few cold fireworks, making Kui even angrier. With its roar, we all ran forward with all our might.
Suddenly, we saw a bend in the passage ahead, and there a flashlight lit up and shook at us.
Second Uncle and Yuan An couldn't help but look happy, "Everyone speed up, just hold on to the front corner!" β
As I ran, I looked at the flashlight in front of me in a daze, and after looking at it for a while, I muttered, "The person in front, is it Wenmo?" β
The second uncle nodded, "As soon as we heard Kui's movement, we arranged for Wenmo to set off to investigate." β
"That's amazing!" I admired it from the bottom of my heart.
The second uncle sighed and said, "What should I do?" Lao Yuan and I can't run so fast with our old arms and legs, who else can we count on in the younger generation? β
"Hey!" The Lantern Festival next to him was not happy, and said breathlessly: "I, I said, second uncle, you, your old man is talking, this old run, the problem of running people is not good!" β
The second uncle glanced at Lantern Xiao, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't run faster, you just wait for the big guy in the back to talk!" However, with your physical strength, you are embarrassed to be afraid of a run?! β
Lantern Xiao was out of breath and couldn't speak, so he could only wave his hand.
Actually, I'm no better than Lantern Festival, and now I'm out of breath, the second uncle looked back at me and sighed helplessly.
I gritted my teeth and ran around the corner, deeply realizing what shortness of breath is, and the fatigue of the past few days and the lack of food supplies have made my already deviant physical strength even weaker.
I leaned against the wall around the corner, holding my hands on my knees and breathing a few times, but when I looked up, I was a little disappointed that there was still a dark passage ahead.
I turned my head to look at Wen Mo, "There's no place to dodge here, after a while, Kui will catch up, I'm afraid I will have to face each other." β
Wen Mo pointed to the front with a flashlight, "Not far from there, there is a place to hide!" Fast! β
I nodded, and took a few big breaths, since Wenmo said so, I think the credibility is still very high, so we continued to run forward for a distance, and sure enough, I saw that there were some things similar to cisterns built on both sides of the stone wall, and I saw that these things were not unfamiliar, and I couldn't help but think of the passage I entered when I just fell from the ground, and also remembered the moving human head. At that time, when I escaped from that passage, I fell into such a cistern-like place.
In this case, we can indeed use this to avoid Kui.
Everyone rushed a few steps, each looking for a place where they could hide. I came to the front of one of the cisterns, and was about to climb in, when I suddenly saw a humanoid carving on the stone wall behind the pool. Actually, I am also familiar with this carving, because I also saw this kind of cistern when I first saw it.
These carvings of these figures are so lifelike and so vivid that I remember the first time I saw them, I used to marvel at the way they were expressed. And this time, I immediately felt a chill just by looking at it.
