Chapter 18: Wang Erniu's Jianghu Road IV
We walked for a long time, and all we saw on the road were tombs, and the more we walked, the more depressed our hearts became.
"Master Xiao, we've been walking for an hour, and we haven't found the way yet, and it's still so dark, why don't we go back and look for it in another direction!" Finally, someone couldn't help but say, it was Lao Li who said, in fact, everyone wanted to go back and find a new direction, because the torches in everyone's hands were about to burn out, but there was still no difference in front of them, and their eyes were full of graves.
"No need, we're already back" Xiao Dart Master suddenly stopped standing and didn't leave, his whole person looked stiff, and he saw his arm pointing forward and said.
When we looked up, we saw a tombstone lying reclining and scattered footprints around it, and soon we found the remains of a nearby fire.
"Ah......h It's a ghost hitting the wall! Someone couldn't help but say out loud with fear in his heart, his voice full of fear.
The others were silent, desperate in their hearts, the wood they had picked up before going to bed was about to burn out, and they lacked water and food, and if they stayed here, nothing but despair awaited them.
"I took a look, except for a tombstone here, the other places are exactly the same, so there must be some clues here" Xiao Dart Master said his opinion a little quietly.
"Then what to do, Master Xiao, we all listen to you, you have read the book, you must know what to do!" Everyone looked at Xiao Dart Master and said, pinning their hopes on Xiao Dart Master alone, after all, Xiao Dart Master is the most well-informed person among them, and he has also entered the school before.
"Since this is the only place that is different from other places, let's look carefully and see what is different here" After speaking, he stepped forward to look around the tombstone and the tomb next to the tombstone, sometimes squatting down and touching the tombstone and the soil underneath it.
The rest of us also stepped forward to take a closer look, and after a while, Lao Li noticed that there was something different on the ground.
"Look, the color of the soil here is different from other places, it's new soil," Lao Li said loudly, pointing to a place not far from the tombstone on the ground.
"Hey, really, it looks like it's freshly dug up" We went up to look, and sure enough, it was new soil.
"Dig, dig up the dirt and see what's inside!" Xiao Dart Master also came forward to take a look at it at this time, and then asked everyone to excavate, and everyone took out the weapons they carried with them and began to dig up the new soil.
After a while, digging half a meter deep, I felt something underneath, and began to carefully wipe the dirt off the top with my hands.
"It's Chen Dart" After picking up the dirt above, he saw that there were clothes underneath, Chen Dartmaster's clothes, pulling the clothes up hard, and the dirt on his body kept falling down, and he couldn't see all his faces clearly after getting people on it.
Seeing that Chen Dart's face was blue, his pupils were dilated, as if he had seen some great horror, Xiao Dart Master took a torch and stepped forward to check it carefully, and did not shy away from the difference between men and women, directly checked the corpse with his hands, and then shook his head at everyone and said: "No fatal wounds were found, they were all abrasions caused by friction."
"How did you die, you can't die for no reason, and it's just been out for a while, even if you can hear something!" Li Peng said to Xiao Dart Master with a puzzled face, and then seemed to think of something, and said in a trembling voice: "It can't be that I met ominous!" ”。
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt that the air seemed to be colder, and they all held their breath and didn't dare to breathe, and after a while, they heard the sound of exhalation.
"Master Li, don't scare us, there are no ghosts in this world, they are all legends, which of you have seen it with your own eyes, ah, which of you TM has seen it with your own eyes!" The other dart master gradually became louder as he spoke, and the whole person seemed to be extremely frightened and afraid.
Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at the corpses on the ground, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts, but everyone was already very frightened in their hearts.
"Judging from the current situation, Chen Yu is scared to death!" Master Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and said to everyone at this time, and everyone's thinking returned to reality at this time.
"Master Xiao, what should we do now" Li Peng asked Master Xiao, obviously not wanting to discuss the corpses on the ground, but how to escape from this ghost place.
"Carry the tombstone away, then dig it, dig this place three feet into the ground, since Chen Yu Dart Master is buried in the ground, there are no clues on the ground, then there may be underground, and several tombs around it have also been dug up!" Xiao Dart Master clenched his fists and said sharply, obviously his heart was also very uncalm.
Then everyone began to carry away the tombstone, centered on the original position of the tombstone, and began to dig down continuously, even if the surrounding tombs were all dug up, everyone's heartstrings were tense, and no one dared to relax at this time.
After about two hours, the entire surrounding ground was dug up, and except for the tombstone, the rest of the tomb was empty, just a dirt bag, and there was nothing in it.
"It seems that only this one with a tombstone is the real grave, and the others are fake." Master Xiao looked at the mahogany coffin in front of him, and said to everyone in a deep voice, the next is the opening of the museum.
Everyone is still more convinced of Xiao Dart, under the instructions of Xiao Dart, we used weapons to pry open the coffin, but there is only a set of red wedding dresses inside, nothing else, we can't help but look at Xiao Dart.
"Move the coffin away!" Xiao Dart said sharply, the whole person seemed a little uncalm, maybe he was about to despair!
After hearing the words of Xiao Dart, we also did not hope to move the coffin away, let us be shocked that the coffin was a black hole, constantly bubbling out of the cold, the discovery of the cave made us feel shocked and thought that there was an exit, but when we looked inside, we found that we could not see the bottom at a glance, and the inner wall of the cave was extremely smooth, and there was no sound when a torch was thrown in, and we could only watch the fire in the cave slowly become smaller.
At this time, everyone was a little desperate, such a deep hole, we felt that this was not an exit, but an entrance to hell.
"Bring the tombstone over, we are taking a closer look, there is nothing else here except a tombstone, if there is a clue to escape, then it must be a tombstone" Xiao Dart Master said in a fierce tone.
We quickly moved the tombstone back and put it on the edge of the hole, and then we saw Xiao Dart Master holding a torch and checking the tombstone little by little, to see that if the frame could not find clues, it was estimated that the tombstone could be disassembled.
The rest of us sat around the tombstone boringly, and everyone was tired after tossing for so long, talking to each other, relieving everyone's hearts, and then slowly waiting for Master Xiao to find out the clues to escape.
After about half an hour, everyone was no longer patient, and they were a little irritable when they spoke, hoping to get away from here soon.
"Found it." Xiao Dart's leisurely voice suddenly sounded, startling everyone, feeling how Xiao Dart Master seemed to be a different person.
"Master Xiao, where is the clue, how to say it!" It took a while for Master Li Peng to react and ask.
But Master Xiao stood there silent, his whole face was a little hideous, and everyone was scared in their hearts, and he spoke after a while.
"There are some patterns on the tombstone, it is too dark to see clearly, you have to be very close to observe, I was just observing these patterns, and then guessing the meaning of them, and then combining the words on them to get a not very good result." Xiao Dart Master pointed to some light-colored lines on the tombstone and said.
We stepped forward to take a closer look, there were indeed some patterns on it, if we were not careful, it would indeed be used as a tombstone decorative line, only to see that the first pattern seemed to have two people on it, one jumped down the hole in the ground, and one person watched from the side.
In the second pattern, the man on the edge of the cave appears to be bitten by a terrifying monster; The third depicts a person jumping out of the cave escaping through the river below.
"Master Xiao, you can just say the result!" Li Peng, who had seen the picture, said in a lonely tone, as if he had expected the result.
"Then I'll just say it!" Xiao Dart Master said in a deep voice, then glanced at everyone, and then said: "The combination of pattern and text means that only one person can live if one person dies, and Chen Yu has already died before, which means that there must be three people between us to stay and die, so that the other four people can escape." Master Xiao said loudly.
"How so, I don't believe it! Why can't we all jump together! The other dart master said sharply.
"I don't believe it either, but which three people jumped last," Xiao replied in a deep voice.
Then everyone suddenly fell silent, although they didn't believe it, but they didn't want to be the last three, and then there was silence.
"Do it!" Xiao Dart Master suddenly spoke, only to see Xiao Dart Master, Li Peng Dart Master and another Dart Master suddenly attacked the four of us, several of us were Orions, and they were not their opponents at close range, and they were quickly taken down under the sudden attack and tied up with ropes.
"Xiao Xuanli, Li Peng, Chen Yun, you three brutes, let us go! ......" Lao Li shouted and scolded, and I, Wang Lei and Li Song also scolded, but the three of them were indifferent, I kept looking at Li Peng's dart master, hoping that he could let himself go for Wanqiu's face, but Li Peng's old brute was completely indifferent.
"Brother Xiao, why don't we throw someone to try first, anyway, there are four places in total, and it doesn't matter if you waste one." Another dart master, Chen Yun, said.
Listening to Chen Qi's voice, a few of us had a little hope again, and we were silent, obviously hoping to choose ourselves to try, maybe there was a glimmer of hope.
"Okay, try it with someone, and kill it when you go out!" Xiao Xuanli said in an indifferent tone, looking particularly ruthless.
Hearing Xiao Xuanli, a few of us scolded his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, watched Chen Yun slowly approach us, pulled Li Song over, and said at the same time: "Alas, brother, if you are not forced to be helpless, my brother doesn't want to hurt you!" Go down and find the way for us! As he spoke, he inserted the torch into Li Song's body, and then pushed it down hard, and at the same time, Li Peng and Xiao Xuanli also stretched out their heads to look inside the hole, and the result was the same as before, and there was no special change.
Xiao Xuanli thought for a while and said, "We still have to try, otherwise if we stay here without food and water, we will die sooner or later", and then jumped and the whole person entered the hole.
Li Peng and Chen Yun glanced at each other, and they both jumped into the hole one after another.
The three of us were tied to the ground, and we could only watch with desperate eyes as a few of them jumped into the hole.
