Chapter 147: The Bronze Iron Gate
The footsteps and singing behind us were getting closer and closer, and none of us dared to stop, but rushed forward with all our strength, and at last at the moment when the sound was about to catch up with us, several of us rushed to a large square burial chamber and escaped from the long tunnel behind us.
The moment we stepped into the space in front of us, the song behind us stopped abruptly, and the footsteps disappeared as if they had never existed at all.
"What the hell is going on?"
I gasped for breath, gently put the girl on my shoulder down, and helped the old man beside me to calm down.
The old man shook his head, staring horrified at the long tunnel behind us, quickly tugging at my arm and pointing to the space ahead.
"Keep following me ahead, it's still too dangerous for us to stay at this entrance, I'll explain it to you when it's safe."
I didn't waste time, but immediately beckoned to the three of them to come with me.
A few of us approached the middle of the burial chamber, and finally came to the old man's so-called safe place.
A few of us breathed a sigh of relief, and the old man took out a white cloth and gently wiped a stone in the middle, and then invited a few of us to sit down.
It's quite clean here, maybe it has been dealt with by the old man before, I nodded and didn't shirk, and thanked the old man and then took the opportunity to do it.
A few of us sat in a row, and the old man sat next to us, still panting for breath. I didn't rush them, and after they slowly calmed down, they were talking to us about the situation in the future.
After nearly half an hour, the old man came to his senses, and the old man walked up to me with the girl and bowed slightly to me.
"Thank you, if you hadn't helped the two of us just now, maybe we would have been caught up by that thing right now."
I waved my hand so that they didn't care, and at the same time asked the old man again, what was chasing us in that passage just now?
In fact, there were a few times when I wanted to look back at what was behind us, but unfortunately in a panic, there was only one thought to rush forward.
In that case, if I had turned back, the thing behind us would have caught up and wouldn't give me any more chance to escape, so there weren't many options in front of me at the time.
The old man sighed deeply, and then he took out his phone from his body and stuffed it into my palm.
The old man helped me click on the screen, and after swiping on the screen, a picture appeared in front of me.
The moment I saw the content on this picture, I couldn't help but open my eyes in surprise.
"What is this?"
Directly in the center of the picture, there is a tall figure, to be precise, this figure is nearly two meters tall, almost three meters high.
The figure took on the shape of a humanoid, except that on the figure's body, a woman with long hair lay on its shoulder.
The woman's eyes were red, and the woman's arms were tightly wrapped around the body of the three-meter-tall figure, and her lips were lightly raised as if she was singing something.
When the old man saw that I could see clearly, he immediately slid backwards again, and then brought up a video for me to watch the content of the video.
A strange piece of music sounded, because the person in front of us seemed to be running, so we couldn't see the scene recorded in the camera at all, and could only faintly see through the light of the flashlight in this person's hand, and vaguely saw that the figure should be the one I just saw on the picture.
The person who shot the video seemed to be running for his life, the speed was constantly increasing, and he was shouting for help, but unfortunately the person did not escape.
He was quickly caught up by the figure behind him, and the next second the camera was blurry, and he was soon covered in a patch of blood.
The phone fell to the ground, I don't know which corner it rolled to, and then the camera vaguely recorded a person lying on the ground, dragged out by the tall figure just now, and quickly disappeared into the camera.
The old man looked at us with an ugly face, so he sighed deeply at us.
"This was one of our companions, and we actually heard the same sound in that tunnel. At that time, a few of us wanted to go and see the situation, and he was the vanguard of our team, so this guy took the lead to check the movement ahead, and a few of us stood by. ”
The old man said, his face showed a little regret and helplessness, and even a little sadness.
"But none of us thought of it. This thing is murderous, and just as our companion went to check the source of the sound, he suddenly shouted at us, "Then let's run." So a few of us quickly grabbed our things and turned around and ran towards the tomb. ”
I nodded, in fact, I don't need to say it from the old man, I also know the situation behind. Eighty percent of the people who started should have no life to survive, and as for this mobile phone, when the old man returned to the passage again, eighty percent was picked up by them.
As expected, the second half of the video remained recorded until the faint singing disappeared, and then a series of messy footsteps came from ahead.
A scream ensued, apparently that they had found blood on the ground. But at this time, it was too late, the old man squatted down to pick up the phone, and then clicked the end button, and the video ended completely.
The old man looked at the four of us, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little envy.
"Truth be told, you boys are in good luck. If you hadn't met us, you might have died in that tunnel by now. ”
As he spoke, the old man patted me on the shoulder, his gaze quite open.
I understand what the old man meant, I saved them just now, so the old man is telling me that they also saved our lives, and neither of us owes anyone a favor.
This old man is also open-minded, and he didn't hide it when facing us, and I actually feel quite relieved to work with such an old man.
I nodded and thanked the old man, took my phone and silently sat down on the stone with them, quietly observing the surroundings.
I took my flashlight and shone it on the surrounding stone walls, and soon found a few large boxes in the depths of the burial chamber directly in front of us.
It's just that these boxes are still tightly closed at this time, and it seems that these old men did not open these boxes after they came.
In addition, in the center of the back of the chest, there is a huge bronze stone door, and the door is carved with various patterns, but it is a little far away and it is not very clear.
When the old man saw that we had finally noticed the bronze door, his eyes became a little complicated when he looked at me again.
The old man quickly stood in front of me, clasped his hands into fists and pleaded with me.
"Chen Xiaoman, logically speaking, I can be regarded as a person of your grandfather's generation, I shouldn't have begged you like this, but my ability is really limited, and I can't open this door in front of me. So I have a fate to meet you today, and you are also going down, can I get a touch of light with you? Let's figure out how to open this bronze door. ”
I have a congenital affection for this old man, and this does not conflict with our purpose originally, plus the things that the old man needs are completely different from us.
Make a friend here, and then it will be a little better under this tomb.
Of course, I didn't excuse myself, so I nodded.
"No problem, but you haven't introduced me to your real name just now, and what do you call this granddaughter of yours?"
The old man smiled and stroked his beard, and pushed the little girl in front of me.
"My granddaughter's name is Wang Nuan, and my name is Wang Liguo. You can call me Lao Wang, and my granddaughter should be a few years younger than you. ”
I nodded, and then looked at the other entourage beside Lao Wang, and he also introduced us one by one.
The names of these retinue kings are also arbitrary, and they are named after the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest.
After speaking, the old man's eyes flashed a little bit of loss, and he muttered to himself.
"It's a pity that Hongzhong, who came with us, didn't survive smoothly, otherwise I would have introduced that guy to you. He has a bold personality and is sure to match your eyes. ”
I looked at the old man's mobile phone in his hand, and the video I shot just now was dragged away by the weird giant figure.
This old man is really interesting, this is an addiction to mahjong, and the people under him have this name.
I greeted them, and prepared to take them to the bronze gate, and find a way to get out of here as quickly as possible.
The slender tunnel behind us was uncovered, though the old man told me that the strange shadow hadn't continued after they had run to the tomb.
It's likely that the thing was afraid of something in the house, so it didn't dare to come in. But I always felt that this speculation was too arbitrary, and if there was a mistake, it would be the end of the few of us.
We need to get out of this place as soon as possible, and after entering the bronze stone gate, we can completely shake off the strange figure.
I took Cui Hao to the bronze stone door with great strides, and asked him to help me hold a flashlight and carefully slow down every corner of the bronze stone door.
"How is this door so similar to the one outside that opens underwater? Do you need to take these bronze pieces off the door and let them rearrange them? ”
I felt that the structure of the door here was very similar to the water gate outside, so I reached out to see if I could remove the bronze block from the bronze door.
