Chapter 46: Cracks in the Wall
Speaking of this, Cui Hao's gaze quickly fell on several other stone tablets.
"That is to say, if we go to several other tombs, there must be treasures in the two corresponding to the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu."
As he spoke, Cui Hao had already walked in front of Jingmen without hesitation.
"Little Manye, let's go here!"
As he spoke, Cui Hao pressed the switch above, and a hole appeared in front of us in an instant.
I shook my head.
I immediately dragged Cui Hao back.
"Wait, don't rush to make a decision yet."
I pointed to the cavity underneath and explained my guess to him.
"Although there are treasures down there, it also means that the risks below are higher. I think it's best for us to focus on Southeast Dumen next. ”
You must know that Jingmen is one of the eight gates, in addition to the door opening, the door of remission, and the door of birth, there is another Jimen.
So I think it's probably a lot safer here, but I still think I should go through the most dangerous places first.
Only then will it be more likely that the corpse clothes will be the first to be found.
"We're all going to go through it anyway, and since we're almost halfway there, we're definitely going to have to explore the remaining half. In that case, we might as well start with the most difficult one, so that we will have less difficulty exploring it later. ”
The longer we spend here, the more physical exertion the two of us have.
If we put the most difficult ones behind, I'm afraid that the two of us will be too tired to get out of it.
After hearing my explanation, Cui Hao was silent for a long time.
Finally, he nodded at me.
"Okay, little man. You have more experience than me, and I will listen to you in this matter, so we will go to Dumen. ”
As he spoke, Cui Hao had already walked to my side and reached out to detain Du Men's mechanism.
Once again, the hole opened in front of us.
I lowered the rope again and climbed onto it.
It's cold down there.
A damp air spread from the air around me, and a faint amount of moisture rushed towards me.
"Fatty, be careful. This is in the southeast direction, and it is also the last Zhongping gate, and the things inside are very dangerous, so you should be careful. ”
Cui Hao responded, with a little gasp in his tone.
"I'd be happier if you could let me rest and stay outside and not run around."
As the two of us spoke, we had climbed down from the rope.
With my feet on the ground, I cautiously raised my flashlight and shone it around me.
This space is almost the same size as before.
The surrounding area is still cold stone walls.
But the moment I stepped into this place, I immediately felt a sense of murder and rushed towards me.
Vaguely, I even felt the sword light around me, as if there were several killing intentions hidden in the dark.
"There's something wrong with this place, don't move around."
I didn't dare to move, but stood cautiously in place, pointing a flashlight at the surroundings and shaking it carefully.
Cui Hao nodded at me and silently followed me and looked around.
After a long time, he spoke.
"I think this place is quite normal, there is nothing abnormal, just some ordinary stone walls, Xiao Manye, are you too nervous?"
As he spoke, Cui Hao got up and wanted to go around the four circles.
His movements startled me.
I immediately stopped.
"Fatty, listen to me. If you want to move, I don't care if you die below. ”
Cui Hao was startled by my voice.
His body shook, and he didn't dare to move.
I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look around.
My flashlight flickered on the walls around me, and the rock walls here looked unpolished.
However, if you go around the gap in the rock wall, you can vaguely see that there are many holes on the surrounding rock wall.
Especially at the edge of the depths of the cave, it seems that there are still things filling in it, but it is only faintly not very clear.
"Fatty, follow me. But if a mechanism is touched, you must lie on the ground to hide from it as soon as possible. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I lifted my feet and took a step forward.
When I landed, I put gravity on my right foot to avoid touching the mechanism.
After making sure that my left foot was on the ground and didn't touch any mechanical calculations, I slowly shifted my weight to the ball of my left foot.
I slowly moved a few meters to make sure that I was safe and that there was no ambush.
I pulled out the dagger from my body, pinched it in my hand, and shone my flashlight at the wall not far away.
Cui Hao saw that my expression was not so serious, and walked to my side with a smile.
"Little Manye, I just said that you are too nervous, how can it be so dangerous for us to come in just now."
As he spoke, he probed his head to look at the top of the wall.
"But what the hell do you think about the cracks in the wall, the cracks look irregular, but why do I always feel like there's something inside?"
As he spoke, Cui Hao picked up the flashlight and pointed it at the gaps, poked his head over, and looked carefully along the edge of the gaps.
Suddenly.
Cui Hao exclaimed, shook off the flashlight and threw himself to my side.
"What's wrong with you?"
I realized that something was wrong, and quickly rushed to Cui Hao's side, pulling him away and looking his body up and down.
"Did you come across something?"
Cui Hao shook his head at me, and stretched out his hand to point to the crack on the side.
"No, I didn't touch anything. It's inside the crack, and when I just looked into it, I saw an eye. ”
I took a breath.
It's just the two of us who are gasping for breath in the ground.
If he saw eyes inside, it was someone else.
Either that, or there's something more dangerous underneath the earth that is watching us in the dark.
I swallowed and spat, and walked over to Cui Hao's side.
"Be careful, I'll go take a look."
As I spoke, I immediately picked up the dagger and cautiously raised my flashlight close to the gap.
Coming to the edge of the gap, I aimed my flashlight into the gap.
At this moment, there was a faint feeling as if something was shaking.
As I got closer, the things inside shook more and more violently.
I pressed my flashlight against the edge of the gap in the wall, didn't dare to get too close, and watched carefully from the side.
Suddenly, I clearly saw an eyeball looking out through the gap, it was bloodshot inside, and the eyeball rolled upward, looking terrible.
I quickly retreated, closing the distance between me and the gap in the wall.
"What the hell?"
I looked back at Xiang Cui Hao, and he shook his head at me, his expression full of horror.
"I don't know."
I carefully discerned this eyeball, but I always felt that it should be the eyes of a living person.
It's not like the eyeballs of other creatures.
I thought about it for a moment, and shouted directly at the gap.
"Is there anyone on the other side?"
In an instant, there was a scratching sound from the wall.
It's clear that the opposite side is responding to us.
"You're alive?"
Cui Hao was incredulous, and shouted at the other end of the gap.
Soon, the scratching sound became more intense.
I thought about it, and then there was no way to communicate effectively.
I knocked twice on the wall.
"Can you understand our questioning? But you can't speak now, right? ”
After saying that, there was another scratching on the other end.
I organized my words and shouted again.
"So, if you agree with me, then scratch the wall, and if you don't, scratch twice. If you think this is the way to go, can I ask you a few questions? ”
After hearing my shout, the other side immediately scratched the wall.
Cui Hao stood beside me in surprise.
"Little Manye, the person on the other side can understand, he obviously understands what we are saying."
I nodded, and just as I was about to speak, Cui Hao interjected.
"Then the first question, are you alive or dead?"
There was silence on the other side, apparently not knowing how to answer.
I slapped Cui Hao on the back of the head and pushed the person aside.
"You can only ask the question of yes or no, you have a multiple-choice question, how can people answer?"
With that, I organized the language and asked another question.
"Are you a living person?"
The opposite side scratched the wall.
I was immediately relieved that as long as there was a living person on the other side, then we didn't have to worry about what threat he would pose to us.
Cui Hao was also obviously relieved.
"It's a living person, so how did you get this guy in?"
I thought about it for a moment and reached out and knocked on the wall.
"You've only been locked in the last few days, haven't you?"
There was another sound of scratching on the other side of the wall.
Cui Hao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What do you mean, this guy is a modern man, and he has only been sealed to the other side of the wall recently, right?"
I nodded, it seemed that it should be.
After all, even if the Warlocks under the Emperor are extremely powerful, I don't believe that they can keep a person incorruptible for thousands of years.
I was even able to live to the present day, standing on the other side of the wall to communicate with us.
And most importantly, this guy can clearly understand what we are saying, and you must know that the language has changed a lot over the millennium.
Not to mention the various slang and dialects, plus the transformation between ancient texts.
Originally, the ancient language must have been very different from what we have now.
The guy on the other side was able to clearly understand what we meant, and could give us an accurate answer.
This is enough to prove that he should be a modern person, at least he should not be buried here for too long.
After realizing this, I knew how to communicate clearly with the guy on the other side.
