Chapter 18: The Quicksand Pit (I)
Diao Nan ran in front of the three of us, and behind me was Yu Tianyi and the two, Diao Nan jumped up and slapped his palm towards the flying coffin lid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć With a bang, the coffin lid covered the black coffin again, and Diao Nan pressed it with one hand, grunting very slightly.
Every time the coffin lid was about to be lifted, Diao Nan pressed it hard, and the words in his mouth were a few points faster. We can't hear what Diao Nan says, even if we hear it clearly, we can't understand it. But obviously the shaking of the black coffin became more and more slight, and finally Diao Nan withdrew his hand sweating profusely and looked at us strangely.
Diao Nan wiped his sweat: "Why don't you leave? If I can't figure it out, plan to stay and bury me with me?"
I smiled awkwardly and pointed to the stone cave behind the black coffin, "I was afraid that it would affect your relationship, so I didn't dare to let go of the gun, if you want to go over, you can either use the gun to knock it down, or ask the gourd baby to help defeat this goblin." ā
The stone cave was only two meters wide, and the huge toad had completely blocked the road, and its hideous and fleshy face was facing us, as if it was asleep in the middle of the road. Diao Nan sighed, "What kind of species is this, and what can you eat to grow so fat." Stunned for something, he shot it out and then rushed forward with all his might, and the armored corpse behind him couldn't enter the tomb. ā
I took a few steps closer and shot the toad in the head, and the toad gave off a strange smell and then stopped moving. The black coffin behind him was awakened by a gunshot, and the lid of the coffin fell to the ground with a clatter.
A few people could only step on the toad essence and run towards the inside of the stone road, I couldn't help but glance back, and the zongzi in the black coffin sat up, wearing armor and golden helmets. The two eyes burned with pale yellow flames, which was extremely eerie.
I was shocked, my feet slipped, and I almost fell. Hold it up with your hand. After running a few steps, I realized that something was wrong, and I completely lost sensation in my entire left hand.
After running over, there was no movement behind us, we stopped, hunched over and gasping for breath, I said, "Bear paw, that toad essence is poisonous, my hand is unconscious." Diao Nan dragged my hand over, Brother Qiang came over with concern, and Yu Tianyi looked at it curiously. Diao Nan took out a knife, made a cut on my hand, squeezed out some blood, sniffed and licked it again.
Diao Nan said, "It's okay, it's no different from the poison of an ordinary toad, it'll be fine after a while." Hehe, the girl of the Yu family cares about you very much. ā
Yu Tianyi spit out, squeezed out a very disdainful look at me, sat down against the stone wall to rest, Diao Nan asked, "Yu family girl, since we are a cooperative relationship, should you talk about the situation in this fight, information must always be exchanged." ā
Yu Tianyi said, "There are some things involving the Yu family and the Cong family, I can't say." In fact, we don't know much about the specific things of this bucket. Yu Tianyi stood up with the other three, "You guys rest, we can't afford to wait." ā
There were only three of us left in the dark, Brother Qiang hid in the shadows and seemed to be resting, Diao Nan said, "The attitude of the Cong Yu family is a little delicate, we just have to make a fortune in silence, and we can't be involved." "I know Diao Nan is reminding me that Douli is not a place to talk about love.
Brother Qiang asked Diao Nan what whispers to the zongzi in the coffin. Diao Nan smiled weirdly, "I told him that I am a mausoleum guard, and if someone goes in and fights, I have to get them out." Brother Qiang smiled and said, "It's not a lie, it's almost like a ghost." There is a problem with the IQ of this zongzi, and the nonsense of the bear's paw can also be believed. ā
Not far forward, there were three forks in the stone road, and I didn't know much about the situation in the fight with Brother Qiang, so we looked at Diao Nan.
Diao Nan frowned, "This bucket can't be analyzed according to the normal regulations of the Ming Dynasty at all, or let's guess which way the coin decides?"
At that moment, a gunshot rang out from the depths of a stone path in the middle. Apparently there were people there, and with the sound of gunshots, it means that something was touched, and there was only one shot, so it was very likely that the problem was solved. I lifted my legs and walked into the depths. After a few steps, my feet loosened, and the stone slab on which I stepped turned over, revealing a black hole, and I shouted, and the whole person fell down.
My heart was cold, the mechanism in this ancient tomb was unguardable, and I thought that this was the end of my death. Then I fell on the rough rock, and my arms and face were bleeding profusely. I was secretly glad that there were no bladed spears under the mechanism, when a large amount of fine sand suddenly erupted from the stone walls around me.
A stream of dry and smelly sand sprayed right on my face, and my mouth, nostrils, and eyes were all stained with sand. The sand had buried my calf entirely, and I hurriedly pulled it out, but the sand was too dry and soft, and I sank deep into it when I stepped on it.
The sand gushes out from all sides, forming a funnel in a narrow hole.
After all, I was born as a contractor, and I mostly deal with sand and cement all day long, so I simply lie on it and roll around the flowing sand. The hole was not big, but it was not small, and the sand was almost full, and I could easily touch the stone flap on it while lying on the sand.
The sand was no longer flowing, and I shouted a few times, obviously Brother Qiang and Diao Nan couldn't take care of me when they encountered an emergency.
I rubbed my eyes, and it was extremely difficult to recover my vision. At this time, the wounds on his face and arms were covered with sand and hurt as if they had been sprinkled with salt. I grabbed a handful of sand and smelled it, there was no special smell, and I was praying in my heart that it would not be poisonous sand. I'm curious to grasp the dry sand, I don't know how the sand has remained dry for hundreds of years?
Unwillingly, he shouted a few more times, but there was still silence. I suddenly became frightened in my heart, remembering the scratches in the iron coffin, the handwriting in the sarcophagus, could it be that I was also trapped here, and finally left some last words on the flap above?
I touched all the stone walls around with my hands, and there were only two places where I could insert the exposed parts into my hands, which were the holes where the sand flowed out. I don't know how the ancient craftsmen used to forge these stones.
After being alone for a long time, I calmed down and carefully studied the structure of the reproduction mechanism, hoping to find a way to crack it. Touching the smooth flap in front of him, he suddenly found that the distance between himself and the flap was increasing.
Barely giving me time to think about it, the sand rushed downward, forming four or five depressions in the small space. I was in a hurry, and hurriedly rolled to the place where I had found the crack and grabbed the crack.
In about five minutes, the sand flowed out of the five black holes below, and I saw a huddled figure in a corner, aiming the miner's lamp at the figure, his clothes tattered and almost rotten. I jumped down and walked up to me, asked a few times and didn't respond, I thought to myself, I can't be dead. Kicked with his foot, this person actually fell down crookedly, he was really a dead man, looking at the costumes should be the clothes before the founding of the country.
The sand ran out, and the black holes seemed to be overwhelmed, and they spit out some liquid. I shone it with a lamp, and I was shocked that it was mercury.
If this place is filled with mercury, Brother Qiang will come to me in half a century, and he will be able to take away a rice dumpling with rich expressions. I thought to myself that it was over, that I really had to die here today, and hurriedly jumped up again and grabbed two stone crevices. The mercury gushing out from below came out about forty or fifty centimeters and then stopped. I pondered in my heart, in ancient times, it was hard enough to get this mercury, which is enough for two or three cubic meters, and it is a lot of money now.
I'm in a very awkward position right now, clutching at the top two holes with my hands, hanging above the mercury like this, and I don't know how long I can hold out. My hands were already shaking, and I had to shake my arms in turn, hoping that I could hold out until the moment when Brother Qiang and they saved me. I yelled, "Brother Qiang, bear paw." If you don't come to save me, I'll be a specimen, and you will only be able to see me in a bottle in the future. ā
