Three hundred and fifty-seven Downtown
The people searched around the city, but they could not find any way down, as if the city had not been prepared for people to go up and down.
From the head of the city to the white boulder maze below, there is at least a drop of dozens of meters, and if you want to climb the edge of the raised ashlar stone, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for others except Han Da'er and Ye Ling. But this city seems to be safe, but it is not a place to stay for a long time, not to mention that everyone is in their own nightmares, this situation is too strange and unpredictable, and it is necessary to climb over the city walls and the white labyrinth as soon as possible, so as not to change later.
The white boulder walls of the labyrinth, each of which is closely connected with the city wall, forming countless passages, only a dozen meters on the city wall, there are seven or eight passages under the city wall, if you choose the wrong way to go a dead end, you have to go back to the original road, and then choose again, if you are trapped in it and get lost, it is even more unimaginable.
Han Daring looked at the city for a while, although the wall built of this ashlar is very high, but the walls and roads of the labyrinth below are all the same color, the warm white maze can only be distinguished under the shadow of the light, where is the road and which is the wall, after looking at it for a long time, it will be dizzy, if you want to distinguish the road from a high place, it is extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the light of this underground world is all based on the glow on the roof of the cave, not daylight, and it will not cause daylight to skew, causing the shadow of the maze to change, otherwise even if you are blind, you may not be able to find a feasible path.
Han Da'er observed for a while, then silently remembered, and let his eyes slow down a little, so as not to be disturbed by the maze and difficult to distinguish. Mei Ruohong, Ye Ling, Wang Weihan and Cheng Feiyang also looked down carefully, hoping to find a way that could lead directly to the white tower or directly through this labyrinth.
Han Da'er remembered the road and had found that from where he was, there were two roads in the labyrinth, and although it seemed that there were many forks in the road, as long as the road turned correctly, it was very likely to go under the tower.
At this time, he glanced at it, but saw that Fan Tong was also observing the maze, he stared at the maze intently, and his thumb seemed to be clicking back and forth on the other four fingers.
Han Daring said in his heart, this guy is really not simple, is he using some special method to calculate the direction, or looking for a way out of the maze.
Who knows, at this time, Fan Tong suddenly vomited out with a mouthful of "wow", this mouthful of filth smelled unpleasant, and fell directly from the city into the maze dozens of meters below, and the filth was scattered and splashed, but most of it fell on one of the passageways that Han Da'er had already chosen.
Then Fan Tong rolled his eyes, and he wanted to faint, and he fell into the labyrinth under the city. Li Huan, who thought about it on the side, was quick with his hands, grabbed him and led him back by force, which made him inevitably fall down the city wall and die.
Chen Feiyang had something to do with two mouths, so he woke up Fan Tong, and Fan Tongyi woke up and vomited again, and he couldn't stop scolding:
"This Nima, it's all stuff, look at it for a while, it's dazzling, dizzy and disgusting!"
Then he suddenly touched his mouth and asked:
"Who hit me just now?"
Chen Feiyang turned his head and smiled evilly, but Li Huan saw that there were a lot of blood stains on Fan Tong's hand, so he asked:
"You're bleeding on your hand, you're hurting?"
Fan Tong scratched his hand on the placket a few times, and then used his thumb to clasp the other four fingers, and continued:
"I ran and jumped from the time I came in, and I had to climb up and down, and my fingers were full of flesh thorns and blisters, which were painful and itchy!"
Han Daring took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that Fan Tong had a lot of flesh thorns and blisters on his hands, some of which had been broken by him, and his fingers were full of blood, and he kept scratching with his thumb.
When I saw him looking at the labyrinth under the city, he seemed to be calculating something with his fingers, was it just a coincidence? Han Daring thought to herself.
At this time, Fan Tong grunted, as if he couldn't help vomiting, so he lay on the head of the city, vomiting wildly downward, and he didn't know how much food residue he had in his stomach, and the filth from the vomit was scattered down, making the stench below, and almost all the surrounding more than a dozen roads were stained with filth.
Chen Feiyang covered his nose and scolded:
"Lao Fan, what you eat here, what you spit out tastes better than what you pull out! Look at it, can there be people down here, smoky people! …… That's pretty clean! ”
At this time, looking below, only Han Dada'er chose the other of the two paths in his heart, which was still clean, with only a small amount of filth on the edges.
Han Da'er's heart sank! Although his doubts about Fan Tong are getting stronger and stronger, he can't be sure whether Fan Tong's vomiting just now is intentional or unintentional, as if he is using his own methods to show everyone a way.
Although Han Dada'er was suspicious, but now that he is in the same boat, Fan Tong should not point out a black road and send him to death with everyone, besides, this road that is still clean was also chosen by himself, so he arranged the rope and tied the rope to the huge ashline that bound the thick rope when everyone came up before, and then everyone slowly slid down the back of the city wall along the rope and came to the white labyrinth under the city wall.
Han Daring and a few men are not good, Mei Ruohong and Ye Ling are both girls who love to be clean, for fear of rubbing vomit on the city wall, so they are cautious and come to the ground of the maze for a long time.
As soon as Mei Ruohong stepped on the ground, he found that the ground was very hard, but it was also paved with the same white ashlar as the city wall and the labyrinth.
The walls on both sides of this labyrinth are very high, and when you look up, it seems that the height is not inferior to the narrow corridor behind the Qingyu Gate. Moreover, the road in the labyrinth is not wide, only for three people to walk in parallel. Under the squeezing of the towering white walls on both sides, when you look up, the maze seems to meet the white clouds above, and you will be dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
Mei Ruohong Road:
"When I came down just now, I found that these labyrinth walls are more than ten meters high and more than one meter ......thick."
"And the top of the wall is all pointed! Can't get a foothold! ”
Ye Ling interjected.
Han Daring nodded and said:
"I also saw it, and I would like to think that if I get lost in the maze, I can climb the wall and walk on the wall together, so that I am not afraid of getting lost! But when I came down just now, I touched it casually, and found that the slopes of the sharp corners of the wall were polished very smooth, as if to prevent anyone from climbing up.
It is estimated that even if it is my light body kung fu, I may not be able to walk in the city, let alone other people!
We only have Ye Ling here, and we should be able to barely move on the wall! ”
Ye Lingdao:
"If we get lost, I'll try to climb over the wall and find a path for you!"
Han Daring said:
"If it really doesn't work, we'll have to go back the way we came and find another way, so we have to leave markers along the way!"
Everyone groped their way forward, and it was still Han Daring who opened the way in the front, followed by Mei Ruohong and Ye Ling, then Wang Weihan, then Fan Tong, Chen Feiyang, and finally Li Huan.
Although the walls and the floor are all white, this is not bright white, but under the lack of light above, it is gray, otherwise this boundless white, I am afraid that after a long time, it will cause damage to people's eyes, or temporary blindness.
Chen Feiyang pulled out a short shovel and wanted to carve an arrow mark on the wall as Master said, just in case he couldn't find his way back. But he picked up a short shovel and was about to chisel, but he seemed to see some strange shadows on the wall, so he hurriedly beckoned Master Han Daring to come and take a look.
Han Daring turned his head to look at Chen Feiyang, and saw that the wall was only white, and when he walked over and touched it with his hand, he found that there were already some traces of chiseling on the wall.
Because the wall is white, you have to use a dark ink pen to write on the wall, if it is only a chisel mark, it is not in a specific light and shadow position but it is not clear at all.
Han Daring leaned closer to the wall to watch, and gently stroked the wall with his hand, and found that the white wall was uneven, far less smooth than the sharp corners at the top of the wall.
There are also some patterns carved on the walls, and when you reach out and touch them, there are all large and small circular shallow pits. The big ones were the size of a fist, and the small ones were the size of silver dollars. They are all very regular and round, like many flat-bottomed petri dishes embedded in the wall.
These circular pits are slightly different from Shen Qian, not only in the place where Chen Feiyang found them, but when he touched the wall with his hand, almost the entire labyrinth wall was covered, but these pits were dotted on the uneven labyrinth wall, and there were no rules for arrangement.
Everyone was puzzled by these strange groups, but Wang Weihan was the only one, and he was not very interested, he was only anxious to hurry through the labyrinth, for fear that the group of people in front of him would take the lead and find the Abacus City of the Endless Country first.
In fact, the people were extremely tired at the head of the city, and after resting for a few hours, they were already far behind the group in front. If it weren't for Wang Weihan, who was already exhausted at that time, I am afraid that he would have entered the labyrinth first and chased after the group.
At this time, Han Daring and the others were observing the strange pits on the wall, but Wang Weihan had already taken the lead in walking towards the depths of the labyrinth road.
Wang Weihan walked a short distance forward, and came to a fork in the road, and there were two roads in front of him, but he didn't know which one was correct. He took out another handful of fluorite balls, put them on the ground as a signpost, and walked towards the fork in the road on the left.
After walking not far, I saw a dry bone on the ground!
The dry bones were all shriveled up, and all the flesh and skin were rotten, leaving only a pile of white bones wrapped in dirty and tattered clothes.
The tendon fascia at the junction of the white bones has long since rotted away, and this skeleton is scattered on the ground, and the clothes wrapped in dry bones are not the clothing of modern people. Although the clothes have long been decayed, and the places where the dry bones fell were soaked black by the rotting corpses, it can be vaguely recognized that the style of this clothing is not the clothing of the former Qing Dynasty, but more like the clothing of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, there is an armor on the outermost layer of dry bone clothing, which is obviously not the armor of the Qing Dynasty bannerman, but chain mail. In addition, next to the human head and skeleton crooked on the ground, there is also an iron helmet with a round brim and a rusty goose feather knife, which is enough to prove that this is a dry bone of the Ming Dynasty!
Wang Weihan was slightly surprised in his heart, in fact, he knew that when the legend was in the Ming Dynasty, Yao Guangxiao had brought soldiers to explore the Abacus City of the Endless Kingdom, if that was true, it would not be surprising to find a dry bone of the Ming Dynasty here. What worries him is that if he finds dry bones in this labyrinthine path, either there is an accident and there is some huge threat lurking here, or this person has lost his path in the maze and is finally trapped here.
Thinking of this, not only did cold sweat break out on his back, so he wanted to go back, first go back and join Han Da'er and a few others, and then continue to move forward, after all, one person counts the shortness and the other counts the long, and when people get together to deal with the situation, the danger can also be minimized.
Han Daring and a few people found the pits on the wall, so they groped forward with the wall, and found that the walls of the maze were indeed scattered with similar pits, although the locations were completely different, but it is estimated that all the walls of this huge maze have the same circular pits.
At this time, Han Daring found that Wang Weihan was gone, and scolded in his heart, this Wang Weihan was lame, but he was in a hurry more than anyone else, and he must have taken the lead in moving forward.
The crowd was chasing after each other, when they heard a "bang" gunshot!
Han Daring knew that it was not the gunfire of the pocket pistol in Wang Weihan's hand, the gunfire was similar to the gunfire of the double-barreled shotgun used by Shicai, but Wang Weihan did not have a shotgun in his hand, could it be that he met the group of people who came down first in front of him, and there was already a firefight?
Wang Weihan's gunshot didn't go off, I'm afraid that he has already been created by the opponent's firearms!
Han Daring made a gesture and asked everyone to quickly pick up their weapons, and they all rushed out towards the gunshots and rushed to help.
When a few people came to the fork in the road, they saw that there was a fluorite ball on the ground, and they ran in the direction indicated by the fluorite ball. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Wang Weihan standing in place with a gun, and a dry skeleton of the Ming Dynasty with an ancient legend lying on the ground next to him.
Not far in front of him, a man was killed, dressed almost like the one devoured by the earthworm and killed by the vine. I saw that this person was lying on the side of the shotgun in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was facing him, and the smoke was slowly rising, and this person had a big hole in his face, most of his head was gone, and only a small pat of teeth was left on his chin, and his death was extremely tragic!
can look at the appearance of the corpse, it is said that Han Da'er, a veteran detective, even ordinary people can see that this person used a shotgun to crush his own head and committed suicide......
