Chapter 169 It's up
With the lighting of the torches, Ren Xiao and the others were able to see the appearance of the valley floor clearly. There are all kinds of armor and weapons thrown around, and it is like a war readiness garbage factory. The two of them watched their feet as they walked in the direction of the current.
As soon as he took two or three steps, Ren Xiao suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned around, and through the faint light Ren Xiao saw the rectangular sarcophagus just now, but after thinking for two seconds, emotion still overcame curiosity. Ren Xiao left the sarcophagus without looking back, as for who was inside and what else was there, these were left to the people who came here later to explore!
"I now know why the house on the map is blank, and it was a warning. Sycamore said, reflecting on what had happened before. After walking for a while, Ren Xiao suddenly stopped, and then said to Wutong, "Did you hear any sound?"
Sycamore pricked up his ears, and sure enough, he heard movement, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Ahh Ren Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to Wutong: "I guess, the scream just now should have been shouted by someone!"
Wutong's expression was also almost distorted, and his teeth chattered: "I guess I won't die if I fall directly from above!"
"What do you mean, should we go over and have a look?" Although Ren Xiao said this, he couldn't take a step under his feet, and he didn't even dare to turn his head after making up some pictures in his brain.
"If he's still alive, let him come to us!" Apparently Sycamore didn't want to see the picture in his mind. The two trembled and walked forward for a while, and finally saw the flow of water.
"Let's go upstream with the current, hoping to find an exit!" Wutong had begun to shiver uncontrollably because of the cold, and the shawl and apron made by Ren Xiao were placed in Zilan's room by Wutong because of sleeping, so they were not brought with him at this time. After Ren Xiao heard Wutong's trembling sound, he took off his coat and put it on Wutong.
After putting on Ren Xiao's clothes, Wutong instantly felt much more comfortable. The two of them walked along the stream for a while, but the way was blocked by the cliffs in front of them, and the streams flowed down the cliffs. "There's no way!"
Ren Xiao, who was unwilling to give up, looked around carefully, touched every stone carefully, and after a while, he really made a discovery. I saw Ren Xiao overjoyed and said, "Come on, there's a button here!"
Wutong looked at the place where Ren Xiao's hand touched, and sure enough, there was a ring-like thing embedded in the stone. "But how do you use this?" Sycamore didn't know anything about this thing, and he didn't know why there was such a thing here.
Ren Xiao said: "I found a sarcophagus there just now, and it is obvious that the coffin did not fall from above, so I speculate that there must be a way or method to go up here." After speaking, Ren Xiao threw the chain out of his long sleeves, threw it to Wutong and said, "You stay a little farther away, I'll pull this pull ring, if something happens, we can help each other." Sycamore took the chain and nodded, then stepped back.
Ren Xiao grabbed the chain with one hand, and pulled the ring out with the other.
The "Click" pull ring was pulled out by Ren Xiao little by little, and the iron chain with the thickness of the wrist inside had been rusted in a large area. When he pulled out about a meter or so, the latte suddenly stuck, Ren Xiao knew that he had reached the end, and then quietly waited for the change.
After a while, there was still no change in the surroundings, and Wutong cautiously asked, "What's going on? Nothing happened." Ren Xiao threw the iron ring in his hand on the ground, and then said angrily: "Damn, it seems that this thing is broken." After speaking, Ren Xiaoyi stomped his foot.
Just like this, there was a sudden shock under Ren Xiao's feet, and the stone slab under his feet suddenly rose, and the impact of being overweight made Ren Xiao almost kneel on the stone slab, but fortunately, the iron chain in his hand pulled the sycamore. The sycamore, which was pulled upwards, held on tightly to the chain and did not dare to let go, and the traction of her arm made her feel that she might not be able to hold on for a while. When Wutong was about to give up, the speed of the slate rising slowed down, and at this time, Ren Xiao could already see the bottom of the three huge warehouses when he looked up. Wutong took advantage of the slowing down of the stone slab to quickly climb the stone slab, moved his strained arm, and then said, "This thing is too bluffing!" Taking advantage of this gap, Wutong also saw the shape of the stone slab clearly, and the square was obviously built by someone.
The slab was stuck in the stone next to one side of the cliff, and the two straight and neat cracks in the stone seemed to be the track of the slate. "How does this slate move?" Wutong, who does not move the mechanical principle, can only express his amazement. Ren Xiao said disdainfully: "It's very simple, there must be a gear set mechanism in this stone wall to pull the stone slab up and down, if people in the past can build such a difficult building as a machine room, then it should be easy to build a simple rising platform." ”
Gradually, Ren Xiao and the others were already close to the first warehouse. "It seems that this platform is connected to the first warehouse. Ren Xiao looked up and saw the black-pressed warehouse site and explained. "Isn't that right? We also don't have to escape the labyrinth of the second warehouse. Sycamore's arm had eased.
"Click, poof!" The slate under their feet took Ren Xiao and they directly into the first warehouse, and the slate fit the floor of the warehouse just right.
"Don't you think it's strange? If this slab is an elevator, why is it down there? Could it be that someone has gone down before and never come up. Wutong's question made Ren Xiao shudder, who would do this?
Fortunately, Ren Xiao adjusted quickly, the situation in front of him was not as simple as they imagined, and the predicament made Ren Xiao have no time to think about the slate. It was a small, confined space, without any stone doors or anything like that.
"It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and a wave of unevenness rose again and again. Ren Xiao's sigh was full of helplessness, but this question was not enough to break him. Soon all his attention was on finding the exit.
After a pillar of incense, Ren Xiao sat on the ground, looked into Wutong's eyes and said to her, "Do you have a dream?" Wutong was asked by Ren Xiao coldly, but he didn't know how to answer. Seeing that she didn't speak, Ren Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Anyway, I can't find an exit, and I'm idle, so it's better to talk about something." ”
Wutong also sat on the ground, fiddled with his clothes and said: "I don't have any dreams, living a little is a day! My life is either chasing and killing others or being chased and killed by others, I am used to it, life and death have long been looked down, dreams or anything have no meaning to me." Listening to Wutong's words, Ren Xiao was a little silent, remembering that when the two of them were about to come to Mobei, they spent the night under the boulder, and at that time Ren Xiao wanted to ask Wutong about the past, but he was refused.
"You want to ask me about the past, right?" Wutong saw Ren Xiao's thoughts, this young man was heartfelt to anyone, and he never hid it at all. Looking at this bewildered teenager, Wutong giggled: "Why are you so cute!"
This time, Xiao blushed and hurriedly turned his head, avoiding Wutong's gaze.
"In your mind, I used to be a heinous and bad person, my father died so early that I have no memory of him, and my mother, I watched her be humiliated to death, and the man who killed my mother raised me and raised me to be a killer. He naively thought that I had no memory of the past, but how could I forget, for so many years, I would wake up from my dreams every time, and the scene before my mother's tragic death seemed to have happened yesterday. Later, I took revenge by killing that person. But at that time, I didn't know anything but killing, plus the people I killed before, I killed people while avoiding being killed, until I was captured by the guards of the capital. ”
"Why do you want to kill people after you kill your enemy? At this time, you are fully capable of being an ordinary person!" Ren Xiao not only likes to talk, but also likes to listen.
"Hehe, be an ordinary person? I can't cook, I can't plow, how can I be an ordinary person. Besides, the relatives and friends of those people I killed are also looking for revenge on me, so I can only kill them again. In short, at that time, I seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool, killing and being killed. ”
"And now? What about your enemies now? Have they ever come to you?"
"You are a quick catcher, you don't know the horrors of the dungeon! Since I entered the dungeon, those who seek revenge on me will surely give up this idea of their own accord, for two reasons: first, they cannot rush into the dungeon and kill me, and second, a person who enters the dungeon is like death. ”
"And how did you get out? And you came out unscathed. I've heard that even if you were to be released from the dungeon, you would have become a wreck, both mentally and physically. "Ren Xiao heard some legends about the dungeon when he was doing fast hunting.
"Haha, it's thanks to you that I can come out!" Wutong remembered that someone had ordered him to kill Ren Xiaolai in exchange for letting him out. "What does it have to do with me?" Ren Xiao said curiously.
Wutong smiled and shook his head, but did not speak. "Don't talk about it again, I don't want to hear it, if you can get out of here, will you still kill people?" Ren Xiao felt some sympathy for Wutong, but he didn't want her to continue on the old path after she went out.
Wutong shook his head and said, "After you go out, I'll help you deal with these Hun barbarians first, and then I'll follow you whatever you want to do!" Ren Xiao smirked: "Okay! After solving the Hun barbarians, I will go back to the Central Plains to find my friends, and then we will help the capital to calm the world." ”
At this moment, the two of them seemed to hear a familiar voice through the stone wall.
