Volume 2 The Ancient City of Mojiang 0093 The Road to Hell
"More than ten years ago, in my impression, there should not be many people in the rivers and lakes who could talk to Bai Dao. Apart from you, Yan Feiyu, and Jiang Zhonghanren, I can't think of anyone else. Xu Qingyun said.
Bai Qianyu shook his head and said: "The rivers and lakes are so big, there will always be masters we have never seen, Shen Qianjue went from being unknown to being born out of nowhere, and it didn't take just one night. ”
Xu Qingyun pursed his cheeks and said, "That's right." He casually flipped through the corpse and found that there was a yellow-skinned briefcase hidden under the corpse. Cheng Ruxue took out the briefcase and opened it, and found a notebook inside.
Turning the first page, there are a few lines written on it, the font is in block letters, and it is written with great charm: "Archaeological Notes, Zhang Weidong, June 29, 1995. In the afternoon, we found a flat-headed mountain with a huge crack in the mountain that seemed to lead to a deep place. According to the ancient documents we have previously consulted, there are signs that there are large mountains in the vicinity of the ancient capital of Pozi, which may be a new breakthrough, and with the unanimous agreement of Professor Zhang and Professor Yang, we are ready to explore it in depth. ”
And on the second page, the handwriting suddenly scribbled.
"On the evening of the 29th. It's too dangerous! It's horrible! There are so many man-eating bugs and monsters in the valley! A lot of people died, and the remaining team members were less than two-thirds of the original ones! Mediterranean almost died there in order to save Zhang Li, thanks to the presence of a master brother, we were able to survive...... Now we're in a sealed stone chamber to avoid the bugs, and the master brother is cracking the mechanism, hoping for results as soon as possible...... I want to reflect, at first I was really disgusted by the addition of these supernumeraries, but now I am ready to say sorry to the senior brother, many things in the past really did not mean to offend......"
Seeing this, Bai Qianyu immediately snapped his fingers and said, "Sure enough, I said that there must be someone in this team to help." ”
Xu Qingyun also said: "And it seems that this master's ability is not small, he can survive from the hands of Po Tuo and Sha Paraly, and his ability is at least not under the spider." ”
Cheng Ruxue put her hands on her cheeks and said thoughtfully: "I think we can read all the contents of this notebook, maybe it can help us in the next step." ”
Several people nodded in agreement, and Dong Que turned to the next page, changed his tone, and continued to relay the next content as if he was telling a story. However, things progressed slowly for the next few days, and it was not until July 3, 1995, that the archaeological team arrived at the temple where everyone was currently located.
Dong Que couldn't help but say: "Good guys, they didn't fall behind for the crimes we suffered before, fortunately there are many of them, otherwise they would have died a long time ago." These people only know how to point to this master brother for everything, and if I were this buddy, I would be angry with them. ”
And after entering the temple, the next thing is what they are more concerned about.
Dong Quede continued: "On the evening of July 3, we conducted a large-scale investigation around the ancient temple, which is supposed to be a sacrificial place built by the ancient country of Pozi to worship the gods of the sun and hills, and Professor Zhang speculates that it was probably completed more than 2,300 years ago. The master brother found a mechanism on the mural on the left side of the entrance, and when he opened it, he found a corridor, which was very dark inside, and the stone walls on both sides seemed to be painted with light-absorbing paint, and our flashlight could only shoot out less than a meter away. The master brother said that this is likely to be the last way to the ancient kingdom of Pozi. ”
Several people glanced at each other and walked outside the incense hall together, Xu Qingyun groped twice on the mural, and suddenly said, "This is it." ”
I saw him press his finger on the wall twice, and a stone door suddenly opened slowly, and the passage mentioned in the note gradually appeared from behind. Everyone tried to look inside, and it was really as dark as the book said, let alone a meter, even a little meter away may not be able to see clearly. Bai Qianyu said: "Fourth master, this time it's a mess, right?" If you don't break the flashlight, we'll at least be able to broaden our horizons. ”
Xu Qingyun scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "This...... At that time, I had to make the spider think that it was really difficult for me to get him, and that he really relied on his own skills to escape. Besides, in this case, it is more true than the three meters or two, does it make sense? ”
Dong Que asked, "Then should we go in?" Cheng Ruxue said: "It's better to read the rest of the book." ”
Dong Que nodded and turned another page, and from this page on, the handwriting became intermittent, and he felt that the writer's mental state seemed to be a little bad.
"In the early morning of the 4th, the master brother took four people to form a vanguard team, and entered the Yongdao to investigate first, and I and others stayed in the temple to rectify, and completed the finishing work of the temple by the way. The exploration took longer than we thought, and it was possible that the tunnel had reached a great distance, and by the hour and a half after their departure, there had been no news from the corridor. ”
"At five o'clock in the morning, Mediterranean tried to contact the senior brother by radio, but the other party was silent. Brother Hu Zi wanted to take someone in to check, but was opposed by most people, as long as we stepped into the corridor, we would be completely swallowed by the darkness, and no one could see the shadow at all, and no one dared to go too far. Everyone is a little worried about whether the vanguard team has had an accident, but with the performance of the senior brother along the way, he should not be in danger......"
"At eleven o'clock in the morning, we had lunch, Brother Hu suddenly said that he heard some voices in the corridor, as if someone was talking, we thought it was a master brother and they came back, and they all went to the door to answer, but no one came out after waiting for a long time. I shouted twice, but there was no response. But in fact, except for Brother Beard, none of us heard that voice, and after a while, Brother Beard said that it didn't seem to be a human voice, but he couldn't say what the specific sound was, and it was even a bit like the whispering of a ghost in a horror movie. I think it's because he's so nervous, and there's really a lot going on along the way......"
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, the master brother is back! But he was the only one who returned. We asked him about the situation, and he said that he had only been in and had been separated from the others, and that it was too dark inside to see the road ahead, and that there might have been other forks in the road, and that the others had accidentally walked in. Brother Gao didn't find the ancient kingdom of Pozi, it turned out that he had been circling in the dark for such a long time, and it was really good to be able to find it back in this situation. Seeing that no one else had returned, the master brother planned to go in again to look for him, but we didn't agree, and we were afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back, but he didn't accept our suggestion, and after a brief rest, he walked in alone again. ”
"It's been a long wait, but if I could, I'd rather keep waiting like this, so that nothing else would happen. Two hours later, the master brother brought people back, to be precise, the corpses of those people, they were all dead! Their heads were gone, only their bodies were left from the neck down, and they were not hit by a trap, but by something unknown! It shouldn't be those bugs, it's not those humanoid monsters, and the people they kill are not like that at all! It was so horrible that their spines were ripped off and left their bodies along with their heads......"
Dong Que had to read this, and he felt a little unable to speak, he timidly glanced into the corridor twice, and involuntarily took a few steps back. Everyone's hearts are also a little fluctuating, it seems that this is really not that simple.
"Did they go in at last?" Cheng Ruxue asked, Dong Que shook his head, pointed to the notebook and said: "It is not written on it, but they all feel that it is too dangerous inside, and most people choose to give up, wanting to try to find an exit on the way here." But the last paragraph of the sentence was only half written by this person and came to an abrupt end, and the remaining half of the paper was stained with blood, and I guess it should be that the sand paralysis suddenly appeared, and this person died like this. ”
Cheng Ruxue thought for a while and said: "Then I think they probably chose to go in the end, there is only one corpse here, and the rest of the people are likely to panic in order to avoid the insects, and Yongdao has become their only choice." ”
"Could it be that those bugs just rushed out of the tunnel?" Dong Que asked again, Cheng Ruxue shook her head and said no: "In that case, the first few people who went in would not be that kind of death." ”
At this time, Zheng Xiaofeng, who had been silent, suddenly raised a question.
"Why didn't we see those headless corpses? Shouldn't they be here too, as the notes say? ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning, yes, this is indeed a very strange question. Xu Qingyun didn't know why he subconsciously glanced at the statue in the incense hall twice, but quickly withdrew his gaze again.
"Actually, no matter how much you discuss these things, it doesn't necessarily make sense, it's time to make a decision." Bai Qianyu said, "Shall we go in?" ”
Xu Qingyun wrapped his arms around him, leaned his shoulders on the mural and said, "Anyway, I definitely want to go in, I'm here, it's a pity not to see what the ancient country looks like with my own eyes." I suggest you all come with me, I've looked carefully at the way I came, it's no show, although the situation is unclear in front of me, but at least it's worth a try, I can't think of any situation that our lineup can't handle. ”
Bai Qianyu nodded silently after hearing this, Xu Qingyun's words were very authoritative, he said that if there is no play, 10,000 percent is no play. Zheng Xiaofeng said: "It's okay to go in, but we have to be prepared, whether to go in batches, or go in together, how to avoid danger if we go in together, and how to prevent everyone from getting separated." ”
Dong Que pondered for a moment and said, "If you go in, you must go in together, we can tie the climbing rope around our waists, so that we can prevent everyone from getting separated." ”
But Dong Que had just finished speaking, and the other four people immediately said no, Dong Que was directly stunned and asked, "Why?" ”
Bai Qianyu said: "Once an emergency occurs, all of us are connected, and our actions are bound to be limited, and we may not be able to run when we have the opportunity to run, and this is the reason for the iron cable." I'm so good, I can't be implicated by you and sent to death together. ”
"Uh......" Dong Que was speechless for a while, although he felt that this sentence was very unpleasant, but it seemed to be the case after careful tasting. There's no way, whoever makes the family a magician, you can only stand up to whatever people say.
Cheng Ruxue said: "I have another way, we line up, one by one on the shoulder to walk in, the front person is responsible for exploring the way and commanding, so as to ensure the maximum degree of compactness and prevent anyone from touching anything dangerous." ”
Everyone nodded their heads this time, they all felt that this plan was good, Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask Ying to be the first, and no one objected, after all, he was the biggest among these people. Bai Qianyu followed closely, and the two became partners. Dong Quede and Cheng Ruxue stood in the third and fourth respectively, and Zheng Xiaofeng chose the queen of the palace.
After making some mental preparations, several people walked into the corridor one by one, and as soon as they took a few steps, they felt first-hand what it was like to be blind.
