Chapter 9: The Strange Wooden Man

"Let's go. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he picked up the luggage on the ground, then took out a flashlight from his bag and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Jiang Botong also wanted to take the flashlight, but he was worried that the battery of the flashlight would not be enough, so he gave up, so he got a glow stick, bent it and brightened it and walked towards the cave.

Wu Qin watched that the two of them were gone, and after looking around in the same place, one hurriedly chased after them.

Li Xuyang carried a backpack on his shoulders and a flashlight in his hand to shine at the entrance of the cave, and after making sure that there was no danger, he took the lead in entering the cave.

The walls inside the cave are smooth, probably because they don't see the light of day all year round, and they become a little shady and damp. The cave is not wide, and two people can barely pass it side by side, but if they are fat, they can't pass through at all, and they will be stuck somewhere.

Originally, the entrance to the cave was a little drier, and the further you went, the wetter it became. The top of the cave above the head also grew taller, and the walls on both sides became wider.

After walking a distance, Li Xuyang turned his head and saw that Jiang Botong and Wu Qin were also following him closely, but when he looked back, he couldn't see the entrance to the cave.

"What time was it when we came in just now?" asked Li Xuyang.

"It's seven fifty-five. Wu Qin interjected at this time.

"Well, remember this time, we can't predict where this cave will lead, so we can only rely on time. ”

Usually when you don't know how far ahead, you can choose another way to use time, but you have to move forward at a constant speed, so that you can be actuarially accurate.

After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he continued to move forward. After about ten minutes, there were three forks in front, and when they came to the fork, Li Xuyang and the others stopped together.

Go that way, it's a problem.

"How to go?" Li Xuyang turned to look at Jiang Botong and asked.

Jiang Botong stepped forward and checked the situation in the three caves. After a while, he said, "Middle." ”

"Why?" Li Xuyang was puzzled.

"The other two holes have some bad smells, but the one in the middle doesn't. And the smell was like the smell of rotting corpses, not that strong, but there was still that smell in the air. Jiang Bo touched his nose with his fingers and said.

"If there is a smell of dead bodies, then it proves that someone has gone in but not come out, or that they cannot come out because of some relationship until they die. ”

"Yes, so it should be reliable to go in the middle. Jiang Botong stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air. "Go in the middle, it should be right. ”

"What if it's wrong?, will we also ...... with those people," Wu Qin muttered in the back, although his voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Jiang Botong. Jiang Botong came directly to his side without saying a word, and then struck him the head with his hand and blamed.

"There is no case, if it is true, it can only mean that we are lucky, okay, less nonsense, and take the middle road. After Jiang Botong finished speaking, he ignored Wu Qin, took a glow stick, and took a picture of the road in the middle before walking in.

For a while, except for the sound of Li Xuyang's feet on the ground, all the sounds in the cave disappeared, and of course there was everyone's breathing, and the breathing became a little heavy.

"There's less oxygen here, you can breathe with your mouth as much as you can, and talk less, understand?" Jiang Botong continued to walk, and then said to Li Xuyang and Wu Qin behind him.

"Hmm. Li Xuyang and Wu Qin replied in unison.

As they walked further and further, the mountain wall became wider and wider. Finally, after walking some distance, a bright light appeared in front of them, the light was pale blue, but it looked a little strange in the darkness.

"There is a bright light. ”

Needless to say, Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong had already discovered that light blue light, and they should be more cautious at this time. No one knows what kind of crisis will be buried after the light.

But Wu Qin spared Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong when they were stunned, and then walked directly towards Liangguang, and the pace under his feet became faster and faster.

"Hey, what are you doing?" When Li Xuyang reacted, he wanted to catch him, but he reached out and grabbed him.

Hearing Li Xuyang's words, Jiang Botong also reacted, but when he reacted, Wu Qin was already almost at the bright mouth.

"Catch up with him. After Jiang Botong finished speaking, he ran towards the bright place, and Li Xuyang hurriedly followed.

When he caught up with Wu Qin, he was looking at the bright light in a daze, with a surprised expression on his face.

When Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong looked at it, the two of them also made the same expressions as Wu Qin, and what they saw was simply another world.

Right now, inside a cave that's not too big. The walls are inlaid with a lot of glowing stones, and the stones glow pale blue. Under the walls, there are a lot of wooden people, and the wooden people are also busy, doing their jobs.

Some are moving stones, picking them up from one place, then moving somewhere, picking them up, moving them back to where they were, and so on and so forth. Some of them are spinning in circles, and as for why they are spinning in circles, no one knows, only where the wooden man keeps spinning.

"What is this?" asked Jiang Botong as Li Xuyang looked at the wooden man who was busy below in shock.

"This should be considered a trick. Jiang Botong said with his eyes squinted.

"But why is there a trick here? Isn't this abnormal?" Li Xuyang asked again.

"What does this look like?"

"Tomb. ”

"Yes, it's indeed a tomb, but why isn't there a coffin? instead, it's a group of wooden people?" Jiang Botong asked Li Xuyang rhetorically.

Li Xuyang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"I don't know, then go down and have a look, don't you know?" After Jiang Botong finished speaking, he stabbed Wu Qin, who was still in a daze on the side, with his arm and said, "Hey, how long are you going to be in a daze?"

"Uh. Wu Qin looked at Jiang Botong with some surprise, and then said slowly, "Oh, it's okay." ”

"It's weird. After Jiang Botong finished speaking, he walked down. Wu Qin also hurriedly followed.

When Li Xuyang was about to leave, he suddenly found that there seemed to be handwriting on the wall on the side, so he shone it with a flashlight. Sure enough, there were crooked words written in four lines: "Eight coffins are placed in the No. 1 pit, and hundreds of rivers are stored in the No. 2 pit." Pit No. 3 has half of the picture, and pit No. 4 is printed on the upper end. ”

These four sentences are very much like a poem, and above the poem there are three big words: "Martyrdom Tomb." ”

Is the Tomb the name of this tomb, and what do the four verses mean?

Without thinking too much, Li Xuyang followed Jiang Botong and them, standing on the ground and looking at those busy wooden people, only to find that these wooden people are of different heights, the shortest ones are like five or six-year-old children, and the tallest ones can be two meters.

The faces and expressions of the wooden people also vary, some seem to be laughing, some seem to be crying, and some seem to be sad. In short, the expressions that ordinary people can do can be seen on the faces of wooden people.

Not to mention how long it will take to make these wooden people, it will take at least half a month just to paint these wooden people with vivid expressions. Of course, you can also see the care and pursuit of the people who make wood.

It takes at least a day to make a complete piece of wood, and at least half a day if you are a skilled craftsman. But what makes Li Xuyang very puzzled is that since he made a wooden man, and he also used some means to make the wooden man move, why did he deliberately draw expressions? This is completely redundant, could it be that the person who made them is not only a person who can do tricks, but also an artist?

"Squeak, squeak. "The joints of the wooden men make a sound with every movement they make, like a machine that has been used for a long time and has not been greased.

Just as they were watching the strange movements made by these wooden figures, suddenly a strange movement immediately caught their attention.

When the wooden man wanted to lift the stone again, he suddenly put it down again, and turned towards the place where Li Xuyang and them were, although the movement was slow, it was not difficult to see that it was indeed heading towards them.

Li Xuyang looked at the wooden man in disbelief, and Jiang Botong also locked his eyes on the wooden man, they were all thinking about the same question.

"Can this wooden man see them?" Or rather, "Can the wooden man here see them?"

"Squeak, squeak. The sound from the wooden man was getting closer and closer, and it was moving faster and faster.

Finally, the sound stopped, and the wooden man also stopped in front of Li Xuyang and them, gesturing with his hands.

"He asked us who we were and why we were here. Wu Qin, who had not spoken all this time, opened his mouth to translate the body language of the wooden man.

"Do you know dumb language?" asked Li Xuyang Wu Qin.

"Understand, but not much, some simple. Wu Qin nodded and said.

"Then you tell it that we are not bad people, we only need to find the bronze box, and see if he knows. Li Xuyang told Wu Qin.

"Good. After Wu Qin agreed, he took two steps forward and came to the wooden man, and also made several movements with his hands and arms, one time his hand was pointing at himself, and the other was gesturing the shape of the bronze box.

After reading Wu Qin's strokes, the wooden man made a few strokes himself, but there were few movements.

After a while, Wu Qin turned around and said to Li Xuyang, "It said he knew the box, but not here. ”

"Where is that?"

"After passing through these wooden people, where. As soon as Wu Qin finished speaking, he hurriedly added, "It says there are eight such boxes." ”

"What eight?" Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong showed surprised expressions at the same time.

At this time, the wooden man seemed to understand Li Xuyang's words, so he nodded at them, and the expression on his face was smiling all the time.
