Chapter 53: Rockland
I nodded knowingly, "But here's the problem, we're going down the stairs right now, and it stands to reason that ghosts won't hit the wall at all, but now we're really spinning in place." ”
Ba Jun touched his chin and said, "This tomb is inherently inconsistent with common sense, so we shouldn't use common sense." ”
I looked at the endless staircase, pursed my lips, a back and forth is about twenty minutes, they have now walked several times back and forth, everyone has just escaped from the mouth of the 'big zongzi', and in the blink of an eye into such a ghost place to consume physical strength, I am afraid that if I walk for a while, I will not even have the strength to stand.
But I don't believe in it.
"Grandpa, you stay here and rest for a while, I'll continue to walk forward and see if I can get out."
Grandpa didn't nod or shake his head, I saw that Grandpa was still hesitating, and just wanted to speak, but then Ba Jun said: "Otherwise, I'll go with Brother Qi, Grandpa, you and An Yi stay here, his legs can't exert too much strength now, so it's troublesome for Grandpa to take care of it first." ”
I looked at Ba Jun a little unexpectedly, but his eyes were surprisingly calm, and my grandfather nodded slowly at this time, which was considered to be agreed.
Gu Anyi looked at our figures getting farther and farther away, and I didn't know whether to tell my grandfather or say to myself: "Am I useless..."
Grandpa sat on the long steps, looking at the wound on Gu Anyi's leg, blood seeped out through the gauze, "Blood..."
"What?"
Grandpa shook his head, "It's not what you think, it's something that comes out of someone else's mouth, but at least in that kid's heart, you are useful, everyone has their own usefulness, and your usefulness lies in the fact that you can use the knowledge you have." ”
Gu Anyi smiled and didn't speak again.
Less than twenty minutes later, my grandfather heard the sound of wheezing behind him, and two trance-like figures came out of the wall, only to see me and Bajun running back panting, sitting on the long steps breathlessly.
"No, I couldn't walk out with Brother Qi, so I might as well run and try, but who would have thought that the whole staircase had changed just after running, from rotating all the way to the left to turning to the right at a corner, we both thought we wouldn't be able to come back, and after slowing down, we actually came back again."
I was also panting and didn't even want to speak, this long step was too weird, anyway, I was either starved to death or suffocated.
Just when we were all in despair, Grandpa suddenly took out a dagger and slashed at the palm of his right hand, turned to look at me again, I subconsciously wanted to hide my hand behind me, but Grandpa pulled it over, and also cut a hole in the palm of my left hand, Grandpa dripped the blood beads on his palm to the ground, I followed the example of Grandpa, the blood beads slipped from my palm, and the two blood beads naturally fused together.
I exclaimed, "Grandpa! What's going on? ”
Grandpa's expression was serious: "Don't talk nonsense, follow me down." ”
At my grandfather's orders, my grandfather's blood and I were dripping on a long staircase at the same time, and after walking about fifty steps, we walked out of the spiral staircase.
"It's really coming out!" Gu Anyi said in surprise.
I clenched my fist, Gu Anyi handed me a piece of gauze and asked me to wrap it to stop the bleeding first, and also gave a piece to my grandfather.
Ba Jun squinted his eyes and glanced at his grandfather, "Why can you use the blood of the two of you to get us out?" You two..."
Grandpa interrupted Ba Jun, "This is just a secret method that is not known, nothing unusual, if I hadn't seen the blood on Gu Anyi's leg just now, I wouldn't have remembered, this kind of secret method can be used by any two people, and I didn't know if it was useful in an emergency just now, so I didn't have time to explain, but this method turned out to be really useful." ”
Ba Jun obviously didn't believe his grandfather, but the stairs disappeared, and he couldn't confirm it anymore, so he could only keep an eye on his grandfather in his heart.
After getting out of the spiral staircase, a few of us walked not far before we got out of the first floor of the dungeon.
But as I went deeper and deeper, I always felt hairy all over my body, and a bad feeling arose.
"Do you think it's too quiet here?" Ba Jun suddenly asked, then glanced at the grandfather who was walking in front, and couldn't help but say: "Why is it that the more accidents happen, the more I feel uneasy?" ”
"Starling, don't talk nonsense, it's hard to calm down for a while, do you still want to have something to do?" I glanced at him angrily, shook my body, and just wanted to roll my eyes, but then my body suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute, it seems... There's something really wrong. ”
Ba Jun just reminded me that something was wrong.
When my grandfather, who was walking in front, heard my words, he couldn't help but nod and said, "You also feel it?" Something is wrong, it's a little too dry here. ”
"Judging from the left and right layout of this dungeon, as well as the composition of the local soil, the further down we go, the cooler and damper we feel, but now it is the opposite." Gu Anyi obviously knew it.
"It's unlikely." Grandpa shook his head directly and decisively.
"Is that because the owner of the tomb has specially arranged it?" Of course, Ba County is clearly much more humid and cool than the ground, but some ancient tombs will have their own unique design, because sufficient water is a major enemy of the underground palace, and if the groundwater is accidentally poured out, I am afraid that the entire underground palace can become a muddy pond.
"It's hard to say this, don't forget, although we are now in Su Shu's burial place, but this structure does not match Su Shu's official position, let's be cautious and take a look at the front." Grandpa squinted his eyes, as if he remembered something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just took us on the way.
Not long after walking, Grandpa stopped again.
"Huh? Why did it stop all of a sudden? I stopped and asked.
"Got to the place, what did you feel?" Grandpa followed the light and pointed to the somewhat ruddy ground in front of him.
"What's that? How is the color of the soil red? We looked in the direction that our grandfather pointed out, and when we saw the rocky land not far away, Gu Anyi couldn't help but exclaim.
"It looks like it's still steaming!" Ba Jun obviously looked more carefully, "This shouldn't be magma rock, shouldn't it, how deep is this underground, how can there be such a rock?" ”
Although I can't feel the heat of the rocky ground not far away, I can tell that the temperature is definitely not too low when I look at the heat above.
"Ahh Scalding... It's burned to death! ”
