Volume 1 Chapter 102: The Stone Pit
We squatted under the fireproof cloth for about half an hour, and when our legs began to go numb, Master Cao opened a gap and looked out.
"How about Master Cao, have those ghost fires drifted away?" I couldn't hold it anymore, so I asked very anxiously, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and move.
Master Cao's face was ugly, and his tone was very low: "I didn't leave, and all those ghost fires stopped outside, just like when we came in just now, they stopped in the middle of the canyon." ”
After hearing this, the eldest sister also opened a gap and looked at it, but she was silent and did not speak, as if she was thinking of something.
And I saw the scene outside through the gap opened by the eldest sister, those ghost fires were quietly suspended in the air, although there was no abnormal movement, but we didn't dare to make much movement.
For fear that the ghost fire that had finally subsided would be disturbed again.
But the situation is very awkward, and we can't stay here and not be able to move.
"There are planks on the cables ahead, so you don't have to pass through them like you did just now, but you have to find a way to avoid these ghost fires." Master Cao said.
I looked at Master Cao in amazement, he was the last in the team to come to this stone platform, and as soon as we arrived, we immediately covered the fireproof cloth over our heads. Even if I arrived before him, I didn't have time to observe the surrounding environment, but I didn't expect Master Cao to remember all the surrounding environment in just a dozen seconds.
The butterfly nodded and said to us, "Actually, it's not difficult, the reason why these ghost fires are floating is because there are too many of us..... The mass of these ghost fires themselves is very, very light, and the white sand is in front of us, so it will inevitably pass through here, but when we arrive, the ghost fire is very quiet, which means that he will not disturb the ghost fire when he moves here alone, and we can avoid alarming these ghost fires by passing here one by one. ”
"There are thirty-six stone platforms, and the average time it takes each person to pass through is at least twenty minutes, and there are eight of us. If nothing goes wrong, it takes three hours, which is too slow. The eldest sister frowned, not agreeing with this method.
I really want to refute the eldest sister, although the time is a little slower, but at least it is the safest way now.
Even if we don't plan to move forward now, it's impossible to go back the way we came.
The iron rope at the time of arrival was not like the iron cable in front of it, and it was equipped with wooden planks. And the iron rope has been burned by the heat of the ghost fire just now, and if we go back the way we came, our hands will have to be burned off.
"Boss, it won't take that long to be practical, Wen Nan and Wang Zhuxiong (one of the guys) and I will only spend about eight minutes per person on average after walking through these thirty-six stone platforms, and it will only take us two hours to survive..... This is the safest way to do it right now. ”
Butterfly swore to the eldest sister, and I took the opportunity to persuade the eldest sister to pass like this, and stop trying to think of some quick but very dangerous way to pass.
The eldest sister's face is cloudy, it seems that she is very sensitive to time, I don't know why she is in such a hurry, is it because Baisha is in front of us, she is afraid that in the end, everything will be taken away by Baisha?
But in my heart, I think the eldest sister and the second brother have different styles of fighting, the second brother is only for money, and the eldest sister doesn't regard money as important, so why should she be afraid that Baisha will take the treasure of the destination?
Could it be that she just wants something of it, and Baisha is very likely to fight her?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is.
The eldest sister weighed it for a few minutes, and finally chose this seemingly safe method.
The butterfly, the best of our group, took the lead and stepped on the iron rope in front of her, stepping on the wooden plank of the iron rope and making a creaking sound.
It makes people feel like the plank will break at any moment.
But fortunately, she did not alarm any of the ghost fires when she went out alone, they were quietly suspended in the air, and the faint blue light illuminated the area very strangely.
The butterfly was really fast, and it took her almost five minutes to walk through all the stone platforms.
Next was Wang Zhuxiong, followed by the eldest sister, me, Master Cao, Wen Nan, and the last two guys who didn't know what they were called.
It was not difficult to pass, so it didn't take everyone twenty minutes, and it basically only took ten minutes to reach the end safely.
We were standing in the last pavilion, and in the center of the pavilion there were also two stone statues of one or two of the seventy-two earth-shatterers.
The ghost fire had apparently decreased a lot since I got here, and I was finally able to see what it looked like in the recessed oval on the other side.
Actually, it's not a groove, it's a very big pit!
Although we couldn't shine it with a flashlight over there, through the blue ghost fire here, we could vaguely see that there were countless figures standing in the big pit, and there were at least hundreds of them at a glance.
I was taken aback, thinking to myself that the big pit opposite the fuck was full of zongzi?
"My mother-in-law, what's in there over there?" I couldn't help but say, but as Wen Nan took out a signal strong and shot it in that direction, I couldn't help but say again: "......"
The black shadow in the pit is not a zongzi, but a group of stone figurines, just like the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit in Xi'an, the scale is not smaller than Xi'an, I even suspect that we can not see the whole picture of the pit where we are, maybe the stone figurines in it are bigger than the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit!
Master Cao said: "If Old Man Chen sees this, he will have to die of excitement, and he will become the archaeologist who discovered the second large stone figurine pit.....
At the mention of Professor Chen, my mood suddenly sank, and I don't know if he and Gao Zheng and others were found by the eldest sister's subordinates.
"I didn't expect this tomb owner to have such a great ability to build a stone pit no less than the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, this is the ninth wonder of the world, right?" Wen Nan couldn't help but sigh.
It didn't take long for the flare to go out, and the crater ahead was dark again.
"Prepare to go over, the tomb should be behind the stone pit."
The butterfly did not hesitate, followed the words of the eldest sister, and immediately passed the last iron rope, and we hurriedly followed, but Master Cao suddenly shouted: "Run!" ”
When I looked back, my souls were scared away, and I don't know when all the ghost fires behind us gathered and were floating towards us.
"I guess that fired that flare gun just now alarmed the ghost fire...... Hurry up, let's go, we won't have any ashes left after those things burn! "I scolded and ran.
After a few of us rushed to the other side, we hid directly behind the boulder, and the ghostly fire stopped where we had stood, and no longer fluttered in our direction.
It seems that there is something here that they are afraid of.
