I said, "Since there is this wooden sign here, it should not be wrong, and besides, this is either a beach or a volcano, and the rest is this jungle where people can be buried, where else can he go if he is not here?" ”

Jin Hu said: "That's right, but I think this wooden sign is so obvious, as long as you are a knowledgeable person, you can know if there is a tomb below with a shovel, according to what Lao Qin said, Guigumen is such a powerful organization, will make such a low-level mistake?" So it's either a trick, or there's something else going on. ”

Professor Wu was suspicious: "Brother Qin has already said just now, the content on this sign itself is very unique, do you have any other understanding?" ”

Jin Hu continued: "In this hellish place, it rains almost at every turn, how much effort does it take to repair the tomb here?" Unless the tomb is repaired elsewhere, and then a secret passage is made here, it makes sense, and this sign is at most used to guide the way. ”

"It's not impossible, what Guigumen is best at is designing mechanisms and secret passages, and most of their disciples used their identities as carpenters to cover themselves." Qin Xuanling affirmed Jin Hu's statement.

I glanced at Professor Wu to seek his opinion, and he said noncommittally, "In that case, let's look for it first, maybe there will be something to discover." ”

Then, according to the division of labor given by Professor Wu, Qin Xuanling took out a paper and pen and began to further speculate on the meaning of the formula, and Siyan and I followed Jin Hu to randomly hit shovels around to test the situation underground. Han Sen and the others were arranged by Professor Wu to rest, so that they could take turns to work after finding out the tunnel.

At this moment, Uncle Long, who was on guard in the distance, suddenly shouted loudly: "It seems that someone is coming, everyone be careful!" ”

I hurriedly dragged the gun behind my back and loaded it, and Qin Xuanling also stopped the activity in his hand and felt the knife in his hand vigilantly.

I saw a figure in the distance running towards us quickly, there was no one else on this island but us, who could it be?

It wasn't until the figure got closer that we saw that it was the owner of the ship, and that he hadn't been back since he got off the ship, and that we had almost forgotten about him for the past two days.

I hurriedly went up to him and asked him what had happened, and he gasped and said in a panic that he had just seen a big snake swimming on the surface of the sea at the bow of the boat, spurting blood and constantly demonstrating at him.

Qin Xuanling frowned, and said softly, "That's my pet, he won't hurt you." ”

The shipowner exaggeratedly said: "Mother, such a big snake is scared to death, how do I know if it will hurt people." ”

Professor Wu said helplessly: "Since you're here, let Xiao Xu take you to the camp, it's safer there, and we still have to investigate here." ”

The owner shook his head, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Why should I be left alone, I will be with you!" After speaking, he scolded a few foul words in Hokkien.

When Jin Hu heard this, he was useless, and picked up the pickaxe in his hand and prepared to loosen his bones.

I hurriedly stopped the golden tiger, and then said to the shipowner: "It's okay to stay here, but you can't interfere with our activities, go and help us stand guard from a distance." ”

The shipowner shook his head like a rattle again, and said very resolutely: "No, no, no, I won't go if I am killed, I will be with everyone." ”

When I saw that this guy was so ignorant, I immediately pointed at Ah Wei and said, "Now you only have two choices, either stand guard with that big guy, or he beats you up and ties you back to the boat, choose for yourself!" ”

Ah Wei in the distance understood, raised the guy in his hand, and walked towards us casually.

The shipowner glanced at Ah Wei, who was stronger than Schwarzenegger, and suddenly lost his temper, so he picked up a pickaxe and went to the distance with Ah Wei to sentry in the distance.

I breathed a sigh of relief, if this guy had been by our side, he might have been in the way, and he would be a burden at every turn.

I asked Qin Xuanling how his research was, and he said that he already had eyebrows, as if this mantra was to draw a point around according to the five elements of footwork, but the actual operation was a bit complicated, and it would take several more tries to be sure.

Professor Wu and the others also came over to listen to Qin Xuanling's explanation, only to see him pointing to the notepad in his hand and saying to us: "You can see that this five-element footwork drawn on paper is actually going around in circles, but according to the hints in the formula, it is different.

With the wooden sign as the middle boundary, the front facing the sea is the pressed water, the redwoods are surrounded by pressed wood, and the uneven height is the pressed soil.

Among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there is only no gold and fire, and I found a route after deducing it according to the formula. ”

Then he drew the route that didn't seem easy, and followed it all the way to the east side of the jungle under a redwood tree near the volcano.

There were bushes everywhere around, but this place was bare, and Qin Xuanling signaled that we might have found the right place.

Jin Hu and I hurried forward and dug a big pit in that place with the sapper shovel with all our might.

After digging for a long time, Jin Hu suddenly pointed to the root of the tree and said in surprise: "There is, there is a gap here, made of stone slabs!" ”

I picked up my pickaxe and struck it hard at the gap, and there were a few muffled noises in the ground, and then a lot of rocks fell.

If it was really here, Jin Hu and I excitedly dug up the surrounding soil, and after a while, we saw a narrow dark passage appear in front of us.

This dark passage seems to be very long, and there is no end in sight when the flashlight enters it.

Professor Wu asked Jin Hu and me to go down to explore the situation, but I didn't expect to step on a lot of Bai Sensen's skulls after just a few steps, and I almost fell in fright.

Qin Xuanling jumped down and said to us, "Be careful, there are usually many mechanisms in the secret passages designed by the Guigu Gate. However, these skulls should be used to scare people, so there is no need to be afraid of it. ”

As he spoke, he began to lead the way in front, Jin Hu and I followed, and the three of them walked step by step towards the depths of the dark passage.

When we were halfway through, we found that this underpass was extremely complicated, with a fork almost every five meters, and some sections had two or even three floors.

In the dark passage, the wide place can accommodate two people, and the narrow place can only pass through one person, and the height of most sections is less than one meter seven, and tall people can only walk in it.

There is also a pit in the cave wall every few steps for the permanent lanterns, which are all made of Bai Sensen's skull.

I thought we would get lost if we continued like this, so we decided to go back the way we came, and then walk the way ahead together when everyone came down.

Out of the secret passage, we introduced the details to Professor Wu, and then simply drew a sketch on the paper.

At this time, it was already noon, and Professor Wu asked us to rest and eat first, and then go down the secret road when we had enough spirits.

Xiao Qian, who had been idle next to her, hurriedly took out the food and distributed it, and everyone sat on the ground eating compressed biscuits and canned food, all a little excited in their hearts.

We've had a lot of hard time in the past few days, and this time we finally don't have to be headless flies anymore.

I don't know why, those skulls in the secret passage just now gave me a very bad premonition, even though Qin Xuanling said that it was all bluffing.

It wasn't until Han Sen asked me if it was dark in the dark passage that I remembered that I wouldn't be able to do it without a flashlight without a strong light in the future.

So I took him and Jin Hu back to the camp to get a flashlight, and by the way, I brought some needed equipment. By the time we walked back to the camp, we were drenched in sweat, so we had to sit in the shade to catch our breath.

At this moment, I inadvertently noticed that a figure in the distance disappeared in a flash, and at this time everyone else was resting at the dark passage, could it be that this was an army controlled by ghost-faced spiders?

Jin Hu and Han Sen chatted with each other, and my mind was completely attracted by the figure just now, if it was really an army, it would be a big hidden danger to us.

When we encounter wild beasts, we can attack them with fire and guns, and this kind of thing, which is completely beyond the common sense of nature, I am afraid it is not so easy to deal with.

But in order not to cause panic among everyone, I decided to just tell Qin Xuanling and Jin Hu about this situation for the time being, and let them pay attention to it.

After all, among our group of people, they have the most contact with this kind of gods and ghosts, and their psychological tolerance is naturally stronger.

After resting for a while, we found a flashlight and necessary tools, and Jin Hu took out some explosives from his backpack in case of emergency, and the three of them slowly walked back.
