Chapter 227: The Underground Ancient City II
The two of them stood in front of the long road, Ma Xiuying forgot to look at the black and white double swords on Zhu Chongba's back, and after looking at Zhu Chongba's back for a while, she asked: "This, what's going on? Just now, it was obviously two forks in the road, and why are these green lights ......?"
Ma Xiuying was so excited that she couldn't go on, and Zhu Chongba said for a long time: "Miss, I heard my master say that there is a Taoist technique in the world, called the blind eye method, just now we may have fallen into that monster's blind method, and we were deceived by him to turn around, wasting our time." ”
"Tricks?" Although Ma Xiuying is not as good as those eldest ladies who do not go out of the door and do not step out of the second door, she is also Guo Zixing's eldest lady after all, and her knowledge is limited, where have she heard of such things.
Zhu Chongba knew that Ma Xiuying couldn't understand such a thing as a blindfold, but in fact, he had never seen it himself. didn't try to explain, just said: "Miss, since the obstacle has been broken, let's hurry forward, hoping to get out as soon as possible." ”
Speaking of that monster, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but look at the monster that was cut in two under the corner of the wall, and after just one look, she screamed, turned her head, and didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Zhu Chongba heard the scream, turned around and saw it in a different place, and said in his heart, I have been busy for a long time, but I forgot about you. He walked over again, crouched down, and examined it carefully.
"Such a disgusting thing, you still look at it!" Ma Xiuying turned her face and shouted urgently: "Let's go quickly." ”
Zhu Chongba agreed a few times, but did not stand up, what is this monster in front of him? Why do you want to use a blindfold to stop the two? Zhu Chongba faintly felt that this monster had a lot to do with the exit in front of him, so he wanted to try to find out the secret of this monster, which might be of great help to the unknown road ahead in the future.
After a few closer looks, the monster was completely limbed, and if it weren't for the fact that it was white, with no eyes and no nose, it was basically the same as a human. Kenneng is the reason why it has lived underground for a long time, its skin is as white as white paper, I don't know if it doesn't need eyes and nose underground, so it doesn't have long eyes and nose at all, and there is no hair on the whole face, and the big head is a narrow slit except for two small ears, which should be its mouth.
However, it seems that it is still wearing clothes, Zhu Chongba looked carefully, and it turned out to be wearing fine silk clothes, compared to Ma Xiuying, the eldest lady, when it comes to luxurious clothes, it is not much better.
Looking at the ground again, there are scattered internal organs and flesh and blood, except for the green and thick blood, the internal organs are basically the same as ordinary people. "Could it be that there are really any cavemen in the world?" Zhu Chongba thought to himself in his heart, he clearly remembered that his master told him at that time that there were strange things and various legends in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and there were records of cavemen in it.
Zhu Chongba tried hard to recall, but he only remembered that what the master said was quite general, only saying that there was a kind of caveman in the hundreds of miles underground, but what it looked like, but what it was said vaguely.
However, for the time being, there is not so much to do, and the most important thing is, why does it stop itself from going on? Why can Ma Xiuying see it, but she can't?
Suddenly, a small accessory hanging on its clothes attracted Zhu Chongba's attention, Zhu Chongba held it in his hand, and looked carefully, it was a small bronze disc, the size of a copper coin, no more than three points thick, but it was heavy in his hand, quite weighty.
With the green light on both sides, there are patterns on the bronze discs, faintly looking like a big tree, the strange thing is that this big tree, half of the branches and leaves are dense, half of it is only dead branches, the root system is very huge, Zhu Chongba looked at it for a while, and he didn't know what it meant.
The disc turned over and there were some strange symbols engraved on the back, like words, and like patterns, and they were even more incomprehensible.
Zhu Chongba was about to rummage over what else was on it, when Ma Xiuying urged repeatedly, Zhu Chongba made a slight effort in his hand, pulled the bronze medal off, and put it in his arms. After a rough flip, there was nothing else on it, and Zhu Chongba left.
"The dead body of a monster, what's so beautiful, disgusting to death, you still watched it for a long time. Ma Xiuying pursed her mouth and said angrily.
Zhu Chongba had long been accustomed to this kind of resentment, he didn't speak with a smile, and walked quickly in front, Ma Xiuying was helpless and hurriedly followed.
This time, through the green light on both sides of the tunnel, she could vaguely see the surrounding situation, but after experiencing so much just now, Ma Xiuying didn't dare to leave Zhu Chongba too far.
The tunnel is very long, and after walking for more than an hour, it is still boundless, leading straight to the depths, I don't know how far. Zhu Chongba secretly calculated to himself, he went out to find Peng Da early in the morning, and then went with Peng Da to save Guo Zixing, and then fell into the tunnel, until now, at least twelve or thirteen hours should have passed, that is to say, he and Ma Xiuying have a full day of water and rice without entering, and there is no rest. The worst thing is that I don't know how far we are ahead, and I don't know how long this bad situation will last.
I have been poor and wandering since I was a child, and I am hungry and full, but Ma Xiuying's family is a young lady, and she also follows her, I really don't know if she can last until the end.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba couldn't help but look back at Ma Xiuying, only to see her following her with one foot deep and one foot shallow, with a look of grievance, clenching her silver teeth, it seemed that she was struggling to persevere.
"Miss, why don't we rest here for a while?" Zhu Chongba said softly: "It's just that there is no food and no water, Miss must be thirsty, right?"
"You still need to say it!" Ma Xiuying glared at Zhu Chongba and said angrily: "It's better to continue on the road, and if you rest again, you will starve me to death here." ”
Zhu Chong's eight hearts were the same, so he stopped talking. The two of them continued to walk forward in silence, gradually, the tunnel felt a big bend, at this time, the walls on both sides became rammed earth walls, every time they walked a section, there would be some huge pillars on the wall, as if they were the structural columns when the wall was built, but it was not very similar, the time was too long, each pillar was covered with something similar to the root system of plants, deeply rooted into the hard soil around it.
As we move forward, there are more and more such columns, and at the same time, the roots of the climbing vines on each pillar are becoming denser and denser, and the roots are tangled, as if they are full of strange-shaped snakes, and under the green light, it is indescribably weird.
"What is this?" Ma Xiuying glanced at it a few times, and then didn't dare to look at it again, "It's like a bunch of snakes, it's disgusting." ”
"I think it's the wall pillars left behind when the tunnels were excavated, and after a long time, they are full of tree roots, and they become like this. Zhu Chongba stepped forward and looked carefully, but he didn't see any clues.
"What the hell is the place ahead, how can there be so many pillars, how can they be so far away?" Ma Xiuying glanced at it, but didn't dare to look at it again.
Zhu Chongba has no parents since he was a child, when he was a child, he herded cattle for the rich man, he was hungry and ruthless, and he also followed people to dig deserted graves and dig Yongdao, but where had he ever seen such a long tunnel, he himself muttered in his heart, even if it is the legendary mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, known as the largest tomb in the world, it will not be so long and so deep, walk for more than ten hours, and it should be in the end.
Thinking of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Zhu Chongba's heart moved, he was busy lying on the ground to take a closer look, and he was still lying on the walls on both sides to watch carefully, sure enough, there was nothing on the floor, and the wall was more than ten inches higher than the ground, and there were faint some strange lines, which didn't seem to be drawn by a sword, as if it was carefully polished and carved by a master craftsman.
These patterns are very shallow, don't lie in front of your eyes and look carefully, you can't see it at all, after a few glances, Zhu Chongba remembered one thing, and hurriedly took out the bronze medal in his arms, and carefully compared it under the green light, sure enough, the patterns on the wall are quite similar to the patterns on the bronze medal, but I can't understand it left and right, and after looking at it for a while, forget it.
"Zhu Chongba, you said it's dark and deep here, there won't be ghosts, right?" Ma Xiuying looked left and right, her two big eyes were spinning around, and she couldn't help but lean closer to Zhu Chongba's side again.
"Miss, what the hell is there. Zhu Chongba hurriedly stood up, hid the bronze medal, comforted Ma Xiuying and said: "If there was a ghost, we would have met it a long time ago, so do we have to wait until now?"
"Maybe the ghost is just ahead? Also, you said there is no ghost, what was that thing just now?" Ma Xiuying could believe it.
"This. Zhu Chongba was speechless. I had to say again: "Miss, you see, there are more and more changes in the tunnel, it is obvious that we are about to reach the end, whether it is a blessing or a curse, let's go and see it as soon as possible." ”
"Okay. Ma Xiuying raised her head and said helplessly.
After walking for a while, Zhu Chongba suddenly had a happy face, and said loudly: "Miss, listen, there seems to be the sound of water in front of you." ”
"The sound of water, where is it?" Ma Xiuying was bored for a day, she was already depressed, and when she heard the sound of water, she suddenly became interested.
"It should be just ahead. Zhu Chongba hurriedly pointed ahead and walked quickly with Ma Xiuying.
Sure enough, after not walking a dozen steps, they turned another corner, and their eyes lit up, and the waves in front of them were rippling, and it turned out to be a huge lake, which was more than ten miles in circumference. The periphery of the lake is still every certain distance, there is a green lamp, countless green lights illuminate the lake, and reflect in the lake, the green light flickers, the waves are sparkling, the lake surface is like a huge jade, and it is like the stars in the sky are brilliant, making people feel like in a dream.
Unexpectedly, there was such a mysterious and bright lake underground, and the two of them suddenly brightened, and the stuffiness in their chests was swept away.
Ma Xiuying cheered, broke free of Zhu Chongba's hand, and ran quickly to the water's edge, first took a picture of her makeup on the surface of the lake, and swept the messy hair on her sideburns with her hand. She had not eaten or drunk all day, and was already thirsty and hungry, and now when she saw this large area of water, she felt even more thirsty in her throat, as if she was about to burst into flames, and she could not help but stretch out her hands to pick up water from the lake to drink.
