Chapter 33: Underground Terracotta Warriors
The square exit can accommodate almost two people, and Cui Hao climbed up to my side and glanced down side by side with me.
He aimed his flashlight at the ground below, and the white flashlight soon hit the ground, casting a shadow.
"Oh my God, so tall?"
I couldn't even look at it at a glance, and I didn't know how deep it was.
I shone my flashlight around again, wondering where this place had been dug through to create such a deep cavernous ravine.
I raised my flashlight again and shone it on it.
I saw that above our heads, there was also a zigzag stone brick protrusion like this, and it looked like we could climb up from here.
Cui Hao snorted.
"The man crawls below, and the soul chases above. If I climb down, I think I'll have to have a belt here for half my life. ”
I nodded, feeling the same way.
There is no place to use it as a handrail here, and I slowly climb down purely with my own ability and strength.
If you accidentally slip on the soles of your feet, there is a high probability that you will have to fall directly from here and fall to pieces.
When I think about it, I feel a little uneasy.
I dug into my backpack and found a soul scrabbing nail and a thick hemp rope.
"Do you still have rope on you?"
I looked at Cui Hao's backpack, and he nodded and pulled out a bundle of rope from it.
"Absolutely."
I nodded and directly nailed the soul suppression nail into the wall next to me, staring down hard for more than ten centimeters.
After confirming the stability of the soul straining nail, I tied the rope in my hand.
"It's too high up there, and it's too risky for the two of us to climb up, and I don't know what's on it, I'll talk about it when we get back." Let's climb down and figure out what's down there. ”
It's easier to climb down than up, so I decided to go down and get some experience before turning around and going up.
Cui Hao nodded and stuffed the bundle of rope into my backpack.
"You open the way first, and I'll follow you from above."
I took out two safety clasps from my backpack, pulled them out and fastened them to the ropes, and then handed one of them to the fat man and asked him to tie it around his waist.
"Be careful, don't slip your feet, otherwise if you fall, there will be no bones left."
Cui Hao nodded at me, and immediately began to lock the buckle on his body.
After I buckled it, I took a deep breath and looked at the soles of my feet, inserted the flashlight into the net pocket I was carrying with me with the bottom down, and lowered the bottom of the net bag to the space below me.
Although it is said that hanging the light with a net will be blocked to a certain extent, and the line of sight will not be too wide.
But at least I can keep my hands free and crawl slowly down the stone wall.
I stared cautiously down, and finally took a deep breath and grabbed the stone bricks on the wall, holding the other end of the rope in one hand, and slowly stepped on the stone bricks.
The ground is cold, and the stone bricks are bone-chilling.
I grabbed the stone bricks, only to feel a stream of coolness rushing down my palms to the bottom of my heart.
Slowly, I felt my palms become more and more stiff, and several times I almost couldn't grasp the stone bricks on the wall, and my hand slipped and almost fell down.
Fortunately, the stone bricks on this wall are zigzag-shaped, so all limbs can be stepped on and grasped on them.
I was able to stabilize my body and avoid falling directly from it.
Cui Hao also faltered several times.
Along the way, he kept cursing.
"What kind of little king can come up with such a layout, and build a magnificent palace well, isn't it good for him? Just made such a, who is this fooling? ”
Cui Hao scolded and scolded, but fortunately, nothing big happened.
It took the two of us nearly half an hour to move down the wall a little bit, and we finally got to the bottom.
With the help of the flashlight, I can see almost completely the space underneath.
At this moment, under my feet was an uneven stone cave floor, with layers of stone bulges interspersed with the ground, and there was silence all around.
But there seems to be an air outlet underground, and whenever I look down, the oncoming cold wind makes me shiver.
I kept cheering myself up in the bottom of my heart, and as long as I persisted for about seven or eight minutes, I should be able to finish to the end.
It's just that I didn't expect that when we were almost seven or eight meters above the ground.
Maybe it was because of the physical exertion that Cui Hao's hand slipped and the soles of his feet were unstable, so he took them off directly from the top of my head.
He tightened the clasp rope in an instant.
But even so, he hit me head-on.
Before he could react, his whole person fell down.
You must know that the ground is densely packed with raised stalagmites, and the tips of stalagmites are like needle tips.
I'm going to fall like this, and I'm going to have these stalagmites piercing my guts, and I'm unlucky enough to be planted here.
At this point, it's too late to grab the buckle.
I quickly tightened the rope and pulled my body tight.
The rough surface of the rope rubbed against my palms, and suddenly my palms became slippery and sticky, and the first writing ran down my arm.
Just when I was barely half a meter from the ground, I stopped.
I cautiously looked down, found a relatively flat place without stalagmites, and sat on the ground.
I let go of my hands, only to see that my hands were covered in blood, and my skin had been scratched.
Cui Hao still held the rope tightly, and shouted down in extreme horror.
"How's it going, are you okay? Are there any injuries? ”
I shook my head and shook the flashlight upwards.
"It's okay, let's come down first. Come and help me bandage it, my hand is in a bad condition. ”
I barely bent my arm to take off my backpack, and just as I did, my arm inadvertently hit the raised stone bricks on the wall.
Now, my arm hurts, and my joints look like they're broken.
Every time I stretched my arm, I felt a piercing pain that spilled down my arm and down my body.
Cui Hao stepped on the stone bricks and slowly climbed down from the wall, and he jumped next to me, I had just opened my backpack.
I reluctantly took out the bandage and powder, and sprinkled a handful of powder on my palm.
My eyes turned white from pain, and I quickly gritted my teeth and wrapped my palms around my palms with bandages.
Cui Hao walked quickly in front of me, and after seeing the flesh and blood turned out of my palm, the whole person immediately panicked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't expect it to be so serious."
I shook my head and waved at him.
"It's okay, you didn't mean it, and I don't blame you. Do me a favor, it hurts too much. It's too hard for me to bandage it myself, so help me bandage it. ”
Cui Hao nodded hurriedly, and quickly took the bandage in my hand to help me start bandaging.
I used this time to point my flashlight with my teeth and look at my surroundings.
At this point, deep underground, I could see these stalagmites under our feet.
Some stalagmites were half a meter high, jutting out of the ground towards a small cone of the ground, with a sharp and faint cold glow above.
Fortunately, I reacted very quickly at the time, so I didn't fall directly, otherwise my life might really have to be explained here.
The ground is deep and dim, and I will climb up again with the key, I don't know what year or month, and when we go down to the Yin and Yang Tomb, then the grass on my grave may grow an inch taller!
Cui Hao seriously helped me with the bandage, and the bandaging was finally completed.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me apologetically again.
"I'm sorry Xiao Manye, I really didn't mean to, I just felt the soles of my feet slip, and then I didn't step on people and just fell off."
I waved my hand again and told Cui Hao not to take it to heart.
Even when I'm climbing, I'm not 100% sure I won't slide down.
It's just that I was lucky and grabbed it relatively steadily, so I didn't fall out of mid-air.
I asked Cui Hao to pick me up from the ground, and took a flashlight to look around.
The palms of my hands still hurt, but the surroundings were strange.
Looking in the direction of the stalagmites, a platform appeared in front of me, and there seemed to be a large space in front of me.
But I can't see what's in it.
There were several small black dots inside, like some kind of building, but the range of the flashlight's light was so limited that it was impossible to see what it was with the naked eye.
I took two steps forward and walked through the stalagmites to greet the fat man.
"Fatty, let's go. Go ahead and see, what are those things? ”
I looked around, and this was probably the deepest part of the hanging palace.
And it is no wonder that this palace towers in mid-air with the help of stone walls, which turned out to have dug through the mountain and made such a deep passage here.
It's so cold and cold, like a hell deep underground.
After we had passed through the stalagmites, we saw a large square stone platform in front of us.
This square stone platform covers an area of about 1,000 square meters, and it is almost impossible to see the bottom.
In the middle of the stone platform, close to me, I was able to see the layout of the place with the help of the light of a flashlight.
"My father, Xiao Manye, this scale is a few points stronger than the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang, so many clay figurines, this guy wants to command the side underground and become the overlord here!"
I nodded and looked at the figurines, the place was dark and deep, and they were all standing in a row, upright on the stone platform.
They also had a variety of weapons in their hands, and they looked like the guards who were guarding the garrison under the orders of the general.
I looked at these clay figurines, and I only felt a cool air in my heart.
The figurines are lifelike, about the height of a real person, and almost exactly like the dolls in the palace outside.
Thinking of those puppet maids who could move, I quickly dragged Cui Hao and took two steps back.
