After dealing with the wound on the fat man's hand, Zhang Qixun also told him about the things they encountered along the way, and when he talked about the waterhole in the cave, the fat man said that they had made a major discovery there.

The fat man touched the jade wall a few times, and he felt a burning pain in his palms, and when he saw it, he found that his hands were rotten, and he immediately reacted to the poisonous powder on the wall.

Then they found a lot of bones in the shallower pool, human beings, all kinds of unknown beasts, and they tried to scoop up the bones with tools, trying to find some clues on them, and found that the bones were very fragile, almost to the point of breaking when touched.

There were still many small holes on the surface of the white bones that seemed to have been filled by ants, and there was no blood and flesh foam left on them, and they analyzed that it was likely that there was some kind of tiny creature in the water that could not be detected by the human eye, which also made them even more afraid to go into the water to check.

If the water doesn't work, then you can only find another way out.

At this moment, they heard what seemed to be someone knocking nearby, but they didn't listen carefully, and they thought that someone was trapped inside through the wall, and there happened to be a detonator in the fat man's backpack, so they decided to blow up one side of the cave with explosives.

And because I remembered that Zhang Qixun had said before that there was a Milota that would hunt according to the temperature in the mountain, they prepared a strong alkali that they brought in together, put on protective clothing, and then determined the location to bomb.

The wall was thicker than they had imagined, and it took the fat man to use up most of the explosives he had hidden before he could blast a hole in the wall, which was equivalent to using directional blasting to dig a short tunnel directly into the mountain.

There was more than one cave, which Zhang Qixun had not expected before.

Fortunately, the fat man came over, to be honest, there is only the fat man who has the courage and ability to "blow up a way out", and the others just want to blow up, and they don't have so much inventory.

The arrival of the fat man also proves that this is indeed the end of the stone road, and the entrance to the Zhangjia Ancient Building is here.

But this is like a multiple-choice question, since there is more than one cave, no one knows whether the cave with the entrance is the one they are in now.

They weren't equipped enough to carpet all the caves, so they still couldn't figure it out.

The fat man looked left and right, and suddenly had an idea, "Hey, you say, the reason why we came here is that we have fallen into some unknown trick, just like a ghost hitting a wall, the mechanism is hidden, and it will definitely not work if we are so hard to find it." ”

Huo Xiangu looked at him and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"The fat master suspects that the situation we encounter now is the same as when we were in the Genting Heavenly Palace." The fat man sat down cross-legged and began the enumeration method.

"Let's boldly assume several possibilities, first, there is a maze mechanism in this tunnel that we can't understand, similar to Qimen Bagua, or a more complex mechanism, which can support the operation of the entire mountain."

The fat man held up two paws wrapped in gauze, and his chin touched the ground, "Come Muyu, you help me write on the ground." ”

Zhang Qixun took out a marker pen and wrote it according to his meaning.

The little brother had been staring at the wall, and when he saw this, he also sat down.

"The second possibility." The fat man deliberately lowered his voice and said quietly, "That is, Zhangjia Gulou is actually not in our time and space, it has surpassed the time and space limit, but the passage to that time and space has not yet been opened, or that time has passed, but unfortunately we missed it too late." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became a little weird, and they didn't believe it, but there seemed to be a voice screaming in their heads telling them, that's it, that's it, otherwise how could they encounter such a nonsensical and unexplainable situation.

The atmosphere was solemn, and even Huo Xiangu couldn't help but start to doubt this possibility, the fat man cleared his throat and said the third possibility, "There is another possibility, that is, the ghost covers the eyes, we met a ghost thing that is the same as the black ghost child, or more powerful than it, and we are trapped in the ghost wall." ”

What the fat man said was serious, and everyone couldn't help but follow his train of thought and began to think about it, compared to the second unbelievable possibility, it was easier for them to accept the mechanism and the ghost hitting the wall.

"How do you verify it?" Huo Xiangu asked.

"Simple." The fat man shook his head, "If it's a ghost hitting the wall, let's test it by burning the rhino ghost." ”

As the old saying goes, "The rhino does not dare to burn, but it has a strange fragrance when burned, and if it is stained with clothes, people can communicate with ghosts."

The fat man decided to sacrifice his gold talisman again, and looked up and motioned for Zhang Qixun to take it out from his neck.

Zhang Qi looked for it, took it out and took it out, only to find that there were two.

One is that after the rhino horn touching gold talisman in Genting Heavenly Palace was burned, he used his spare time to borrow Pan Zi's hand and received a pitch-black golden talisman from the old tomb robber of the northern faction who had already washed his hands in a golden basin at a high price, which is said to be the ancestral heirloom of his family.

It is not clear whether it is ancestral or not, but it is indeed a real pangolin claw, black and shiny, and extremely hard.

The other one was much newer than the one he gave the fat man, model-like, rubbing black, and inlaid with a layer of gold runes on it.

"Both are pangolins?" Zhang Qixun didn't take it down, "Then burn a hammer." ”

"The new one is a fake." The fat man explained, "The fake gold talisman last time was bought in front of the big gold tooth, I went to the girl to settle the account, and pulled out another one from his hand, looking at the old boy's thief's eyebrows, I knew that this must also be fake." ”

Zhang Qi took out the new one, took out the lighter and lit it, and then held the burning rhino horn around everyone, and the small blue-green flames shook people's hearts.

After walking around the stone path, he went to the cave again, and stayed at the end of the cave for a while.

Everyone held their breath and quietly followed him three meters away, probing their heads to look around.

However, the results were disappointing, let alone ghosts, and even the ghost shadow was not found.

The rhino horn touched the golden talisman and burned most of it, and Zhang Qixun extinguished the fire and returned the remaining half to the fat man.

The fat man rubbed his chin with the back of his hand and muttered, "Is it that this time the ghost hiding skill is too powerful, and he is not afraid of rhinoceros horns at all?" ”

"What then?" Huo Xiaoli said anxiously, "Is there any other way to get rid of evil spirits?" ”

"Of course there is a ...... in addition to that" The fat man was just about to say something, his mouth stumbled, and before he could say anything, he turned around, "Yes...... There is black dog blood, big roosters, black donkey hooves and small glutinous rice, and fighting ghosts on the top and under the dumplings. ”

Huo Xiaoli looked at him speechlessly, and said with a sad face: "Fat master, it's time for you, don't be joking, no matter how useful what you said, we don't have it on hand now." ”

"Then there is no way." The fat man put away his horns and walked back to the place where he had just written in the stone path, "The third one is crossed out, let's verify the first two." ”

Huo Xiangu looked at the little brother and Zhang Qixun a few more times with some uncertainty, and just wanted to speak, but Zhang Qixun took the lead.

"Don't think about it, the unicorn blood is only anti-poison and anti-insect, and it is useless against ghosts."

Every drop of the little brother's blood is very precious, even if it is useful, he will not let the little brother bleed, not to mention that there is no black ghost child here at all, bloodletting is pure waste.

The fat mother finally used all kinds of big tonic soups to make up a little bit of blood for the little brother and him, and there was nothing left after a knife stroke.

Although Huo Xiangu was skeptical, she didn't say much.

The trap was denied by the fat man, and he realized when he blew up the cave that if the trap wanted to operate unconsciously, then the trap buried in the wall would definitely not be large, and the place where it would be placed would not be very deep.

But the jade wall is more than six meters, there is nothing in it, and the little brother also said that there is no mechanism here.

Second, they have no choice, not only physically, but also mentally and psychologically exhausted, they have already decided that they can't get out, they don't even have a glimmer of hope, and waiting for death is the only choice.

Even Huo Xiangu felt a trace of despair, she refocused her gaze on the waterhole, and just as she was about to speak, the fat man suddenly jumped up, "There is another way!" ”

didn't care about the people next to him, the fat man pulled up Zhang Qixun and the little brother, "Come on, come on, let's verify the fat man's conjecture together." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Zhang Qixun and the little brother towards the entrance of the cave, and said while retreating: "We have people standing at both ends of the stone road, and the people at the entrance will not change, if the exit of the stone road will move, when you go back in the stone road, the mechanism will be activated, and the person guarding the entrance will definitely see the scene of the stone road moving." ”

After speaking, with the hand whose fingers were not completely wrapped in gauze, he smiled and made a cheering gesture at Zhang Qixun in front of his chest.

Zhang Qixun looked at the fat man who had stepped back two or three meters, and the moment his eyes met the other party's eyes, his heart was shocked, setting off a terrifying wave, he was a little incredulous, but the fat man's eyes told him a positive answer.

The fat man already knew, and with a long-term tacit understanding, he guessed it.

So he took the opportunity of the verification agency to let Zhang Qixun and the little brother leave the team and do what they wanted to do with confidence.

The cave is indeed the end, the end point left by the little brother and Zhang Qixun to the fat man.

His eyes were suddenly a little sour, Zhang Qixun lowered his eyelids and took a light breath, "Little brother, let's go." ”

The little brother nodded silently, and the two turned around and walked into the cave step by step.

Huo Xiaoli leaned against the stone wall, holding the compressed biscuits weakly, thanks to his previous experience in the ancient building waterway at the bottom of the lake, although he was a little desperate, but he did not completely collapse, he thought about it when he saw this, and then trotted over to catch up with the fat man, "Fat man, I'm with you." ”

Huo Xiangu waved her hand, and Huo Chushi immediately brought someone and waited in the middle of the stone path.

On the other side, after Zhang Qixun and the little brother entered the cave, they did not stop, bypassed the waterhole on the ground, and walked straight to the end of the cave.

The two of them finally stopped at a place where Zhang Qixun was holding the burning rhino horn in a circle, and stayed a little longer.

"Turn off the lights." The little brother said softly.

Zhang Qixun turned off the flashlight, and the miserable green jade light in the cave suddenly surrounded the two.

The little brother moved his shoulders a few times, his arms made a shrug and brought them inward at the same time, and at the same time his body twisted a few times strangely, only to hear a few soft clicks, and the whole person lowered suddenly, and then squatted down to deal with the trouser legs of the protective suit, got up and looked up at Zhang Qixun slightly.

"......" Zhang Qixun couldn't help but glance at Xuan'er above the little brother's head a few times, then looked at the green wall, stretched out his hand and gestured, okay, it really has to shrink to such a point.

Immediately, he also moved the large joint, shrugged his shoulders to dislocate the bone, and then quickly reassembled, as did the other joints.

Well, now both of them have become 1.5 meters.

The little brother closed his eyes, reached out and touched the wall, and then directly slammed into the wall, and crashed into the fluorescent piece at once, and the faint green light swallowed him directly, and there was no trace of his existence in the entire cave.

Zhang Qixun snorted softly, then closed his eyes as well, touched a narrow gap in the jade wall, and also drilled sideways.

They still had their eyes closed, and they walked forward little by little, and the space here became wider and wider as they went back, and Zhang Qixun estimated that he should have walked more than fifty meters.

Suddenly there was a void under his feet, Zhang Qixun didn't expect this to be the case in front of him, he staggered for a moment before stepping on it, opened his eyes, there was no longer the fluorescence of jade here, and there was a little black shadow in his eyes, he was standing in front of a stone pillar, looking at something intently.

He walked over to take a look, and realized why the little brother didn't turn on the flashlight.

The stone pillar was carved with ancient and simple patterns, but these patterns were not all the focus, there was a fluorescent line from the top of the stone pillar, shuttling down in some of the patterns, converging on the bottom of the stone pillar.

The space here is larger than the cave of Fangcai, the size of two basketball courts, slightly higher than a one-story bungalow, and is a confined space.

There are many similar carved stone pillars at the back, which were carved into regular columns using stalactites that originally hung from above to the ground.

As far as the eye can see, the stone pillars here are densely packed, and there is no rule in the arrangement.

So if you want to go out from here, the focus is still on the fluorescently marked lines on the stone pillars.

The little brother had already turned to look at the second stone pillar nearby.

Zhang Qixun also picked a stone pillar and carefully pondered the lines on it.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing abnormal in the place marked by fluorescence, Zhang Qixun's gaze followed the fluorescence, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately turned to look at the pillar that the little brother had just seen, and traced the void on it with his fingertips, and then went to look at the third one.

"No, it's not." Zhang Qixun muttered in his mouth and walked in a little, "Strange, this is not either." ”

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

No, he can draw this pattern backwards even if his eyes are closed.

Wait, draw it backwards!

He immediately turned his head to look at the little brother, but found that his surroundings were unexpectedly flooded by stone pillars at some point.

The little brother who was only an arm's length away from him is gone!

Thanks to the reward of the [the most naïve when I was young] the big guy, more than a super big heart ()
