Chapter 56: Stone Shadow of Qionglong
The crockpots in the pit were so broken that the patterns on them were tangled in hair, and I couldn't see them clearly.
Seeing that Yuchen had already gone away, Wu Xiaoxie also hurried to catch up.
The two walked forward for more than twenty meters, and Wu Xiaoxie suddenly stepped on something under his feet, making a crisp sound.
When I looked down, I saw that it was a broken pottery shard, and when I looked forward with a flashlight, I found that the passage in front of me was full of similar broken pottery shards.
A few meters further on, the ground was littered with clay pots that stretched to the end of the passage.
What makes people feel creepy is that at the mouth of those clay pots, there is an irregular spherical object the size of a white melon.
In the yellowish light of the miner's lamp, countless black hairs like cotton wool spread out from these ball-like objects, spreading out like a carpet, densely covering the entire passage, even on the surrounding cave walls.
Wu Xiaoxie and the two were silent instantly, and even their breathing eased.
The whole cave was cold, and the pores that were still sweating were hit by this cold air, and goosebumps immediately exploded on his skin.
Wu Xiaoxie felt a tingling in his scalp, his voice tightened, he swallowed his saliva, and asked in a low voice, "These are all ...... Head?"
Xie Yuchen didn't speak, only lit a fire fold, shook his hand and threw it in.
As soon as they touched the flames, the hair that had spread to the edges immediately made a slight creaking sound, as if it had come to life, curling and shrinking a little inside.
Because he was wearing a gas mask, Wu Xiaoxie couldn't smell the special burnt smell of the fire-roasted protein.
With half-squinted eyes, he took a closer look at the clay pots through the gaps in his hair, and saw that the patterns on them were somewhat familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered, "I've seen these jars before, and there are more of them than there are here."
Xie Yuchen looked over when he heard this, "Where have you seen it?"
Wu Xiaoxie said: "The first time I saw this kind of jar was when I went to the Snake Swamp before, in the Devil's City in the Talmuda Desert, we found a wreck of a shipwreck, and the cabin was full of this kind of jar, which contained many heads, which were specially used to cultivate the Corpse Turtle King, and then offered it to the Queen Mother of the West for sacrifice."
"The second time we met, we had entered the palace of the Queen Mother, under the altar of the underground river that was close to the throne, where the clay pots were piled up, and we did not dare to open them, but went around them directly."
Xie Yuchen sighed lightly, "This is trouble."
He turned his head to look at the iron-clad ancient corpse standing in the cave behind him, and said, "In this way, that iron-clad may be a protective clothing to protect against the kind of insects you mentioned, as well as the hair of these unknown means of attack, which may have been worn by the craftsmen at that time when they placed these clay pots."
Wu Xiaoxie nodded, and as soon as the mining lamp shone, in the open space in front of him, there were countless broken shells of the red corpse turtle king mixed in those hairs.
Xie Yuchen looked around, and then didn't know what he found, and pointed the lights in his hand to the cave walls on both sides, "Look there."
Wu Xiaoxie looked over and found that under the hairs covering the cave walls, there were many pits hidden in different shades.
Some of the pits were empty, and it seemed that the contents had been taken away, and Wu Xiaoxie felt that the most critical silk books translated by Jin Wantang must have come from here. ….
Some of them are full of things, and they can be roughly identified as bamboo slips and the like, and there are a lot of them, like the scripture caves in ancient temples.
In the back of the day, the light in their hands won't shine.
"How did you say they got in?" Wu Xiaoxie frowned and asked, "You can't step on these jars."
But it doesn't look like it, the material of this clay pot is very rough, and it will inevitably become brittle after a long time.
If so many people had to step on it, it would have been impossible for the jars to be intact.
Xie Yuchen tied the miner's lamp in his hand to his arm, moved the joints of his hands and feet, and smiled at Wu Xiaoxie, "For them, it couldn't be easier to get in from here."
Wu Xiaoxie looked at him and laughed a little teasingly, and didn't understand what he meant for a while.
Then he saw Yuchen backhandedly pull out two arm-length sticks from the backpack behind his back, pick them up, and then take off his gloves.
Before Wu Xiaoxie could react, he suddenly held the long stick with both hands and pushed it to the open space in front of him, and the whole person rose into the air with the help of his strength, and turned over like a juggler in the narrow space, and suddenly appeared diagonally above Wu Xiaoxie's head.
Then, under Wu Xiaoxie's shocked gaze, he turned sideways upside down in the air, and with a stretch of his long legs, he stepped into a pit on the wall of the cave on the side.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and in the blink of an eye, the stick on the ground had been withdrawn by him, and it had reached the pit where he stepped on, and before he was about to lose his balance, the entire stick body bent out of an arch, and Xie Yuchen was bounced up again, and flew lightly to the other side of the cave wall.
After that, he repeated the actions just now, and in a very short time, Xie Yuchen had already relied on the magic stick and flew out dozens of meters away, like an elf jumping in the flowers.
Wu Xiaoxie's jaw dropped in shock, "Damn!"
This is also Mrs. Tai Niang's cow batch!
Compared with the methods of Chen Pia and the others who carefully groped for the past from the mechanism, this kind of miraculous trick is simply more than one grade higher.
How the hell did he fly over the pinch?
While he was thinking, a whistle was heard from there, echoing in the empty and deep cavern.
Xie Yuchen waved his arm tied to the miner's lamp outside, "I've arrived."
"How?" Wu Xiaoye hurriedly asked.
"It's okay." Xie Yuchen said, "It's not as difficult as I thought, it's easy to come."
Wu Xiaoxie was furious, "Easy you fart, you flew over, what should I do?"
He lifted his foot and jumped on the spot tentatively, so embarrassed that he couldn't even make the first move.
There was a chuckle from there, "You stay there and don't move, I'll go inside and see what's going on, and then I'll find a way to get you over."
Wu Xiaoxie had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart.
After a few seconds, Xie Yuchen's voice came from the other end, "I saw something, it's a little strange."
"What's that?" Wu Xiaoye hurriedly asked. ….
There was silence for a while before Xie Yuchen said, "I don't know, I can't tell."
Then came a dull metal knock.
Wu Xiaoxie's curiosity had been aroused, but there was no sound on that end.
It has been quiet for a long time, and Wu Xiaoxie was so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks, and shouted inside, "What the hell is it? You describe it."
"A huge iron plate, very large, a bit like a bowl, with a lot of strange lines on it." Xie Yuchen suddenly hissed, and his voice became softer, "God, this thing is moving, and it is spinning on its own!"
"What?" Wu Xiaoxie didn't understand what he meant, what was turning? The iron plate?
According to Xie Yuchen's description, he tried to imagine it in his mind, but for a while he couldn't imagine what kind of thing it was, and his heart became more and more anxious, "You don't care about that first, find a way to get me over first."
"Wait, something is wrong, don't act rashly just yet." Xie Yuchen spoke quickly, and then there was no movement.
Wu Xiaoxie was anxious to scold, "What's wrong?"
However, this time he didn't wait for Xie Yuchen's reply.
Wu Xiaoxie turned around a few times in place and shouted a few more times, but Xie Yuchen still didn't answer, but there was a sound of metal knocking over there, and it was amplified by the echo, hovering into people's ears, making people annoyed.
"!" Wu Xiaoxie scolded in a low voice and yelled inside, "If you don't speak again, I'll find a way to get over by myself."
The knocking sound over there was getting louder and louder, and it sounded like it was destroying something with a lot of force.
Wu Xiaoxie was desperate and wanted to roll his eyes, and then thought again, no, they are all adults, how can they not be stupid enough to lose their temper on such a dangerous occasion, could it be that what happened to Xie Yuchen's side, which caused him to be unable to speak, and he was knocking on the metal to ask for help outside?
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoye hurriedly shouted inside, "Xiaohua, is something wrong with you?"
After a while, the percussion sound over there paused for a few seconds, and then there were two "bangs", as if answering Wu Xiaoxie's question just now.
Damn, there's a door!
He shouted to Xie Yuchen again, "Xiaohua, let me ask you a question, if it is, you can knock it once, if not, you can knock it twice, how about it?"
"Bang-"
There was a knock over there.
OK, Xiaohua said okay.
Wu Xiaoxie thought for a moment and continued, "Are you speechless now?"
Xie Yuchen knocked.
"Does it have something to do with the big iron plate you talked about earlier?" Wu Xiaoxie asked again.
After asking, I immediately listened carefully with my ears sideways, and there was only one voice from there.
Wu Xiaoxie pondered carefully for a few seconds, then turned around and ran towards the outside of the cave.
It's already dark outside.
I got the walkie-talkie and woke up the guys who were already asleep below, and as soon as I told them about it, those guys immediately came up to support.
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Wu Xiaoxie realized that something was wrong, it took more than four hours to climb up from the bottom, and Xiaohua waited for the daylily to be cold inside.
Then he turned around and ran back to the cave, rushing to Xie Yuchen's side and shouting, "Xiaohua, I have notified the people below just now, they will come up immediately, is the place where you are staying now?" ….
There was one sound from the dark cavern, two ......
Wu Xiaoxie chuckled in his heart, and then he heard the third knocking sound.
"What's the situation?" Wu Xiaoxie wondered whether this was safe or unsafe.
Just as he was about to inquire carefully, there rang out three times in a row, then three more in a rhythmic manner.
Wu Xiaoxie has a black line in his head, is this an addiction to beating, or is Xiaohua unable to determine the situation over there, or is Xiaohua calling herself over?
Does Sansheng mean "come quickly"?
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxie also had a number in his heart, "You wait, I'll come to you right away."
Looking at the clay pots in front of him, Wu Xiaoxie gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and his heart said that he was mother, and he still had to rely on himself after tossing for a long time, and he fought hard!
Xie Yuchen, who was nesting in the depths of the cave, had just treated the wound on his shoulder, and before he could catch his breath, he heard Wu Xiaoxie say that he was coming in, and he was almost half angry.
Hurriedly knocked three times on the iron plate with a stick, "Don't come in!!"
After knocking, I immediately realized that something was wrong, damn, I was really angry, and immediately knocked twice, "Don't come!"
"It's coming, don't rush!"
Wu Xiaoxie was holding the pit on the wall of the cave where ancient bamboo slips were placed, and the whole person was like a gecko climbing the wall, hunched over and moved forward cautiously.
Secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, Muyu thought thoughtfully, and got him the old stuffy blood in advance, he had tried it before, and when those hairs met the old stuffy blood, they would immediately curl up and dodge like a mouse seeing a cat.
Apply some to gloves and clothing, and as long as you are careful when you climb and do not touch the crockpot underneath, you should be able to pass smoothly.
The distance between these pits is not small, but it is not big, the visual distance is almost one meter, Wu Xiaoxie tried a few steps and found that as long as he stepped a little bigger, he could barely pass it.
However, after climbing more than ten meters, he found that he was still naïve.
No matter how good the calculation is in advance, the physical strength is hard after all.
Coupled with the fact that the space he was in was too cramped, only his fingertips and toes were exerted, and he felt that his two arms were starting to tremble a little because of the sore detachment.
After climbing another seven or eight meters, Wu Xiaoxie felt that he couldn't hold on, and he couldn't reach the pit in front of him, so he had to use one
With one hand, he gripped at the edge of a depression above, and with the other he held a dagger and dug a hole in the cave wall.
I was relieved by prying off a small piece of rock, sticking the dagger back into my waist, and quickly grabbing the edge of the small pit that had been dug out.
If he doesn't rest, his hands and feet will cramp.
After pause, he caught a glimpse of the hairy stuff below out of the corner of his eye, and the closer look made him feel even more creepy.
For things like hair, Wu Xiaoxie has a deeper nightmare than others.
He tried his best to hypnotize the lump of balls beneath him as a mushroom, a mushroom that grew black mycelium.
Thinking about it like this, the feeling of horror in my heart has actually decreased a little.
Wu Xiaoxie tried his best not to look at the ghost thing below, and then concocted the same method, and slowly moved more than twenty meters inside.
The sound of the knocking inside hadn't been heard for a long time, and he wasn't sure what was going on, so he tried his best to speed up.
After resting, he wanted to continue crawling inside, but at the moment he turned his head, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Less than two meters in front of him, something seemed to block the light of the miner's lamp just now.
He immediately turned his head to look again, and at this look, his scalp immediately tingled.
Wo Nima, it's hair!
I don't know when he stood a man-tall hair essence!
