Chapter 16: The Skeleton Warrior

Gradually, a ray of sunlight appeared through the crack in the doorway, and appeared in front of me, as if I saw a hope, a hope that I had a chance to grasp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It gradually lit up, as if the dark door could no longer be blocked. I was filled with courage that supported me to stand up and open this door and walk out towards hope.

On this day, as usual, I got up early and went out, followed the road I had walked many times into the mine, numbly picked up my iron pick, and walked to the familiar Cave 16. But the difference was that no one noticed the glint of excitement in the eyes of me and the tree.

Throughout the morning, there was a ding-dong knocking sound in the cave, and the guards were still lazy, not going to their respective construction holes to supervise at all, but still sitting together, drinking, gambling and bragging. They only care about whether you finish your work by the end of the day, and they don't care about herding sheep during the work. Time ticked and walked unhurriedly, and finally it was time to eat, and after eating our own food, Big Tree and I went into the cave and waited.

"It's almost over, everyone is done eating and getting started. I listened carefully to the sound in the cave, and when I heard the sound of everyone working, I made up my mind to escape, so I gave the big tree a look, "Let's go!"

The two of us took the torches from the hole, removed the small hole that had been blocked, and went into it one after another. In order to delay time, let others find it quickly, and after entering, the hole was covered again.

Da!

In the empty tomb passage, there was originally silence, but the sudden footsteps were particularly harsh, which was incompatible with this quiet tomb passage. After a while, the fire flashed around the corner, and two people came over, which was naturally me and the tree.

"The last time I walked here, I didn't go in again," I said, gasping a little, "let's go, and keep going." ”

"Ah Lin, what kind of place do you say this is, why is it so big, it feels a little scary!"

"This is supposed to be someone's graveyard, and this person is quite rich. I replied, "Don't look at me like that, the last time you said it was a dungeon, it shouldn't be." The scale of the dungeon will definitely not be like this, and there will not be such a neat tomb road built up and down, so the cemetery is more reliable. ”

Thinking of something, the big tree cracked his mouth and smiled, "If only we could pick up some gold jewelry from here, even if we didn't, we could pick up some of the other ones." ”

"Come on, don't have money to spend. I took a torch to light the way and wiped the sweat from my forehead, "There must be a lot of organs in this kind of tomb, don't accidentally lose your life, besides, whether you can find an exit and get out is still two words." ”

"Ahem, even if you don't have a life, it's a kind of happiness to lie here and die with gold, haha, ah??"

The tree suddenly screamed behind me, and I was so frightened that my legs went limp and I almost fell to my knees. When I looked back, I saw that the big tree was staring at the top of the tomb in a daze. I hurriedly raised the torch as well, and when I looked closely, I really gasped.

The top of the tomb was originally made of relatively smooth adobe, and it was almost the same all along the way, but I walked past it without paying attention to it just now, and when the big tree happened to pass by, I found that the top was different, because it was carved with a huge picture.

The picture is divided into four parts, the first picture is a mountain peak with a man walking down the mountain with his back to him, and there is a child next to him, the whole mountain is covered with clouds and mist, and nothing can be seen clearly; the second picture is surrounded by heavy brushes, wrapping the whole picture together, and only the child in the picture is meditating, as if he is cultivating; the third picture is still the mountain, on which lightning is spreading, but there are dark red lines drawn in the corners, outlining a strange picture, this picture is just on the top of the big tree, I should have lost my voice when I saw this picture just now; the strange thing is that the last picture, which seems to be not finished, seems to be finished, and it seems to be finishedThere are only a few simple lines in the whole picture, maybe it's lightning, maybe it's something else, or it may be added at random, in short, I can't guess what it means.

"Okay, okay, this picture is easy to understand, it should be that the master took the apprentice down the mountain to learn the arts, and after the apprentice finished his studies, he went somewhere to show his might, it should be like this. "After reading it, I didn't know what it really meant, so I might as well talk about it and let the big tree come back to his senses from the fright.

"Ahem, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, but it is scary to suddenly see it in this place, and now it is nothing. ”

"Well, keep going. "After this episode, I also paid attention to the top of the tomb, in case something happened, it was too late to regret it.

As it turned out, I was absolutely right. I couldn't walk a hundred meters, and I noticed that the top was a little different. Slowly leaned over, and found that there was a large wooden stake hanging from the top, which weighed hundreds of pounds, and if it was smashed down, it would definitely be able to smash people flat. Slowly moving forward, I found that the first few cornerstones were wrong, and the stones next to it were not tight and had gaps, which seemed a little abrupt. But if you don't look carefully in the dark, you really can't see it, and if you accidentally step on it, hehe, I guess the stake is going to fall down.

Then I beckoned the tree to be careful, go around the cornerstones, and continue walking.

"Brother Alin, when do you say you'll get to the end, it's been almost an hour, and you can't even see a fork in the road, can't this be a road to hell. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, I don't think it's scary enough, right, do you want to find you a few dried corpses to accompany you." "I deliberately pulled my face to scare him.

"Don't, I'm just talking to relieve boredom, or I'm too aggrieved here. While walking, he scratched his head, "You say, have we walked this road, why do you feel a little familiar." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, just move on. "I also feel a little familiar, if you really go the wrong way and come back, it will be serious, in this environment can definitely make people's confidence a big loss, so I pressed it, and then let the big tree go forward, maybe I was wrong.

However, reality immediately shattered this illusion in me. Because the front is just that huge picture, exactly the same, you can't be mistaken.

"What the fuck, how can this be? Aren't we going to keep going?"

I pulled it up, "No, don't sit here." There's got to be something weird here, so let's keep going, make a mark every few meters, and see what's going on. ”

After I was coaxed and frightened, the two of them continued to walk, but after walking a few meters, they made a cross mark on the side with a stone. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see the strange foundation stone and the wooden stake on it, and it was really going in circles, so what the hell is going on? Anyway, let's move on. As we expected, we found the huge painting and the cross mark we had just made.

"Damn," I was too tired to do anything, and I fell to the ground thinking about this strange thing, damn, is there really a ghost in this?

"Brother Alin, I think, could this tomb be a big ring? You see that we have been walking around for so long, and it turns a little bit, then we can't feel it. ”

"Hey," he said, it made some sense, "maybe that's the case, in such dark conditions, there is no good sense of direction, this is really a mistake to go around in circles." ”

"But if that's the case, won't you find an exit?"

"No," I said confidently, "how can there be no exit to build such a large circular tomb passage, which must surround the main part of the tomb, and there must be an exit in the center of the tomb." ”

"Then how can you get in, you can't smash it open, can you? Besides, with our two of us, can we smash it open? Even if we do, we'll be exhausted. ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this. I thought I was smarter, so I hung my stomach and said, "You see that trap on the road, there must be such a trap somewhere else, but it must be a secret door that opens the main body of the tomb." I said, let's not rest, hurry up and find it, don't be able to do anything after the torches are extinguished. ”

When Dashu heard this, he also felt that the time was severe, so he immediately started work with me.

Under the desire to survive, more potential was stimulated, and the two of us were like mice, not letting go of any place, touching and touching, and finally found the location of the secret door.

It was a protruding stone, and when it was pressed hard, it made a "squeak" sound, and a large stone door next to it was revealed. The dust dispersed, and the two heads squeezed into it to take a look, dumbfounded.

Inside was a compartment with a stone recess and a skeletal shelf in clothes. I looked around carefully, and even checked under the corpse, but found nothing. It's just a secret door, not a door to the inside of the tomb at all.

"Don't be discouraged. After being silent for a while, I tried to boost my confidence, "Look, it's not nothing, isn't there a bronze sword here? Look at this sword, it's definitely not an ordinary product, maybe it's easy to use to cut this stone wall!"

I was still playing with the copper sword that had some weight, and the big tree turned his head, opened his mouth wide, and pointed behind me, "You, you, you... ”

Oh no, I already sensed the danger, jumped a few steps forward, and when I looked back, I was also frightened. The skeleton shelf sat up at some point, its hollow eyes staring at us, white light coming from it, and just staring silently ahead.

The torches were about to be extinguished, and gradually, darkness came back.
