Chapter 55: The Tomb of the Spirits
With a bang, the fire extinguisher burst, and nothing could be seen in the dry powder sprayed tomb, Bai Maxiao could only see the faint fire through the thick white dust, and the heart-rending cry of the stunned, he drew out his sword and prepared to save, but the tomb was not wide, and when the sword was drawn, he didn't know where it fell, and there was a bang, and suddenly his feet were empty, and the whole person entered a state of weightlessness defenselessly, and before he could scream, his ass had fallen heavily on the ground.
This fall was not light, covering his butt and lying on the ground for a few minutes before he eased up, his hands were on the ground and wanted to stand up, and suddenly he touched a living thing, like a small insect like a cockroach, he was startled, and subconsciously withdrew his hand, but the insect reacted faster than him, and slipped away from under his hand before he withdrew his hand, and then the whole ground made a squirrel, like the sound of hundreds of insects running.
Bai Maxiao hurriedly touched the flashlight, only to find that the flashlight had just fallen down and was thrown away, in this dark unknown space, darkness became the most feared thing, he took out a notebook from his pocket, tore off a page, and lit it with spiritual power, the faint light of the fire illuminated a small area around him, the brightness produced by the burning of a page was extremely limited, and it was quickly burned to half, he didn't have time to check the environment, and first lay on the ground to find his flashlight.
Soon, a page burned out, and Bai Maxiao quickly clicked another page, and searched all the neighborhoods, there was no shadow of a flashlight at all, and the second one was burned out after a while.
Although he didn't find the flashlight, after looking for it this time, Hakumashi roughly figured out what this place was. This is a stone chamber smaller than the burial chamber that filled the altar just now, and the difference is that this room does not have anything, just an empty room. Actually, it can't be considered a room, because it is like a dirt pit, except for the bricks on the top, the four walls and the ground are mud floor, like a temporary cave.
At least knowing that this place is empty, there is no threat. Bai Mashi leaned against a corner, lit the third piece of paper, and opened the two bags he had brought down with him to see if there was a spare flashlight.
One bag contained compressed biscuits and canned water, and the other contained a shell gun, a box of ammunition, two empty **, three notebooks, a dagger, a folding shovel, six glow sticks, six flares, and a can of metal cans for unknown things. This metal can is quite interesting, with two cloth straps tied to it, like two straps, as if it can be used to tie this jar to the arm. There is a rubber tube attached to the top of the tank, and at the other end of the rubber tube is a device similar to a breathing valve of an oxygen tank, so it seems that this is a small oxygen tank?
Looking at the weight of these two bags, it is not the two bags that Bai Maxiao has been carrying, it should be that when he just escaped from the tomb in a hurry, Jin Santu took two bags to him casually in a panic. But it's really caring, a pack of emergency food, a pack of emergency equipment, as if he knows that he will be left behind.
It's a lot like the last time he was at the Sand Sea Palace in GSG, and Hakuma Shino was left behind for the second time, but that time it was a game - although I didn't know it at the time - and now it's a real adventure, and no one can guarantee his safety, in this case......
"It's really a good exercise. Bai Ma Xiao muttered, but there was some joy in his tone that this time the team brought him growth opportunities, although he was in the same situation as GSG at that time, but this time he was obviously motivated to fight, and compared to him at that time, Bai Ma Xiao at this time was no longer a useless camel.
He took out the glow stick in his bag and swiped it vigorously, and the bright green light illuminated the surroundings, different from the previous scene illuminated by the dim firelight, the bright and broad light source suddenly made him realize that there was a hole in the earthen wall opposite.
The hole was similar to the one they climbed when they went down to the grave, it was small, but big enough for one person to crawl through it.
As long as there is a way out, it is not considered cornered.
Before the action, Bai Maxiao checked every item in his bag and made a plan in his mind: first of all, food and water would be enough for him to stay for a long time, at least for a week, although this time it should not be so unlucky. Secondly, the emergency equipment in the other bag is enough for an ordinary person to deal with a lot of emergencies, for him, the gun that should be the most important is the most useless, his no sword finger can be replaced, and the ammunition is much more sufficient than this box of bullets, so the important thing should be flares and glow sticks, and the folding shovel can be used to temporarily dig holes, although he will not dig holes, but at least with tools, it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and rice is more important than a Qiao woman.
Make an impression that each of the available resources is applicable, so that you will not be unable to think of using them when the disaster is imminent.
After all the classification is completed, there are only three notebooks left that do not know what to do. Bai Ma Xiao looked at it curiously, and found that these were Jin Santu's notes, it turned out that this bag was Jin Santu's, but he didn't expect that in the chaos, the guy actually threw his own bag to Bai Ma Xiao.
There are a lot of common traps, traps and structures in the ancient tombs recorded in the notes, Bai Maxiao read it very carefully, and when he turned to the third book, he found that there were detailed notes about this tomb, and the most intuitive thing was a plan of this tomb.
Through the location of the thief hole, Hakumashi immediately found the tomb where they had entered. This burial chamber is the westernmost part of the entire tomb, and there is only one burial passage, which should be the burial passage where he and the troops were separated, and after walking through the burial passage, you will reach a large hexagonal burial chamber, each of the six sides has a burial tunnel, five of which are connected to five rooms of the same size, and the burial chamber they enter is the westernmost one. The easternmost tomb is connected to a large area, if the proportions of this map are accurate, then this space is at least a hundred times the size of the tomb just now, this huge room is evenly drawn dozens of circles, looking at this distribution may be columns, after all, such a vast room, load-bearing is very important. Further east, there was nothing left, and this oversized room was already the easternmost part of the entire tomb. To the north, there are two large rooms, arranged from north to south with the oversized room, the southernmost one being the largest room, the middle one being only half the size, and the northernmost one being the smallest.
There was also a small space to the west of the middle room, twice as large as the northernmost one.
Ancient Chinese architecture has always paid attention to the beauty of symmetry, but the tomb is not symmetrical, if the whole is only divided by region, ignoring the size, it can be regarded as a "dagger" structure, to be precise, the right half of the word "soil".
In the northernmost room, the word "coffin" is written, and a question mark is drawn next to it, while the middle room has a character "person" written, and the word is circled several times with a pen.
The word "coffin" Bai Maxiao can understand, it is nothing more than the coffin of the owner of the tomb is placed here, and a question mark drawn next to it may just be a speculation, and the coffin is not seen, it may be hidden. But the word "person" in the middle room is incomprehensible, does it mean that there are people in that room?
Speaking of which, if the northernmost room is really the tomb owner's bedroom, then it is normal for the room in the middle to have a supernatural creature guarding the tomb, but what does it mean to write a "person"? Could it be that the person who guards the tomb is a person?
It can't be a spirit, right?
Bai Maxiao instantly seemed to figure it out, whether this tomb would be the tomb of the ancient spirit, after the death of the tomb owner, his subordinates have been guarding here, and I heard the soul couple say that the "no feather person" thing, indicating that the spirit man may indeed cultivate to the realm of immortality, then this "person" may refer to the "person who guards the mausoleum".
If it is an ancient spirit person guarding here, it is indeed difficult to deal with, God knows what realm this guy has cultivated to after so long? If it is a thousand-year-old goblin, it is really not something that they can deal with as a modern spirit person, even if Bai Bird Ling is also a feather person, but it will not be more than a hundred years, after all, her spiritual power performance is only red, but it is not the same as the red of Jian Yin. The soul couple said that red and black are divided into red, black and red, sub-black, black, and extra black, and the red of the white bird feather is mixed with the black that is not light, and it is obviously the edge of the black realm. The red color of the sword sound is obviously a very pure and bright red, without a little black.
The more I thought about it, the more curious I became about this middle room, and I really wanted to see what kind of immortal this tomb protector was.
However, this map obviously does not draw the whole underground, because the area where Bai Maxiao is located is not drawn on the map, and even the thief hole in the wall in front of him does not exist. It seems that there are still many hidden areas in this tomb, which is far from being as simple as depicted on this floor plan.
Flipping through this page of the map, a photograph tucked away in a notebook appeared.
There are five people in the photo, four men and one woman, the man is Jin Santu, Ning Yuan, stunned, and although Bai Maxiao has never seen herself, but she has seen Ning Zhi of the soul, the woman has never seen it at all, she looks quite handsome, but she seems to be wearing a lot of makeup, especially the very obvious lipstick, which shows a very abrupt red on her pale face, like a vampire with blood on her mouth in the movie. Although there is nothing strange about the women's makeup, the clothes they wear are all mountaineering clothes, everyone carries heavy backpacks, some people have a mountaineering pickaxe hanging from their waists, and some people hold it in their hands, it seems that they were taken on the way to an adventure somewhere, and at such a time they wear such strong makeup, how much this woman loves beauty.
Taking out the photo, the notes at the bottom wrote about the preparations they made to enter the Shuiquan Tomb, and it can be seen that Jin Santu was quite well prepared, and Bai Maxiao thought to himself that when he wrote these preparation notes, he must not have expected to be trapped in the tomb for two months.
Jin Santu's notes are only useful to him on the floor plan, but the use is also limited, after all, the location he is in now is not on the map, if he climbs along the thief hole, it is estimated that the hidden area that does not exist on the map is also the place he goes.
Putting away the notes, Bai Maxiao resealed the sorted bag and prepared to open the way.
Suddenly, the wall behind him shook violently, and he was unsuspected, jumped up and stared at the wall, faintly hearing the sound of clanging and chiseling.
No one is digging a hole, is there?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a hole to break in the middle of the wall, and a head sticks out of the hole, and the moment they saw Bai Mashino, both of them were stunned.
"Aren't you the caving guy!"
"You are Wang Zi?!"
