Chapter 60 Forks
fork
It's not so evil to catch up with ghosts blowing out lanterns again. Besides, we are still crawling in the long robbery cave. We are still far away from the underground palace of the ancient tomb. I touched the simple gas mask on my mouth. It shouldn't be my breath.
and action to extinguish the candle.
Could it be that there was airflow passing through the hole? I took off my gloves and tried around, but I didn't feel any strong airflow. I ignored it and tried lighting it again.
I struck a match and wanted to light another candle, but found that the ground in front of me was empty. The candle originally inserted on the ground had disappeared. At this time, my scalp suddenly stood up. I thought it would be easy to enter the underground palace through the previous robbery hole.
When I was searching for something, it was really a ghost this time. The candle right in front of me disappeared out of thin air the moment I was distracted in my thoughts.
I reached out and touched the place where the candle was originally inserted. The tentacle was hard, but it was a flat stone slab. Where did this stone slab come from?
I didn't care much, pulled off the gas mask, patted the fat man's leg and said to him: Climb back quickly, something is wrong with this robbery hole.
Big Gold Tooth was lying in the back panting. When he heard my words, he hurriedly curled up, turned around and crawled back. This time, the fat man suffered a lot. He couldn't turn around in the robbery hole, so he had to drag the two bolts backwards.
Hold the rope of the big goose, put your elbows on the ground, and crawl backwards.
We turned around and climbed back for less than five meters. The big gold tooth in front suddenly stopped. I asked from behind: What's wrong, Mr. Jin? Grit your teeth and hold on. Climb out and rest. Now is not the time to take a breather.
Da Jinya turned around and said to me: There is a stone gate in front of Mr. Hu. The road is blocked and there is no way to get out. His face was so frightened that there was no color left. It was not easy for him to speak out.
I used my wolf eyes to look at the path in front of the Thief's Cave through the big gold tooth. Sure enough, there was a large flat stone. Every time I took a step forward, I looked carefully and found no mechanism like a stone trough.
, the walls of the cave are made of flat soil, and I don’t know where the heavy stone slabs came from, blocking them all in front of me.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, and there was no way to stay where I was, I had to signal to Big Jinya to ask him to turn back, and then pushed the fat man from behind to let him crawl forward.
The fat man didn't know why. Seeing him moving forward and backward, he said angrily: "Old Hu, you are fucking trying to kill me. I can't crawl anymore. If you want to crawl again, crawl over me."
I know that we have encountered something unusual. I can't explain what it is now, but we must not stop. I don't have time to explain to the fat man, so I keep urging: You are talking so much nonsense, let you go forward.
All you have to do is crawl forward, hurry up, obey orders and follow directions.
The fat man heard that my tone was wrong and knew that the situation might have changed, so he stopped complaining and crawled forward again with both geese in hand. He hurriedly crawled forward for nearly two hundred meters and suddenly stopped.
I thought he was also tired and wanted to take a rest, but I heard the fat man say to me from the front: "Old Hu, there are three holes in the front, which hole should we drill into?"
The three caves have always been one and the same. I have never heard of a fork in the road. At this time, I couldn’t figure out what was going on even if I had two more heads.
I asked the fat man to crawl into the robbery hole directly in front of him, and made room for me at the fork in the road so that I could check the situation of the three connected robbery holes. When I came to the middle, Big Gold Tooth also climbed over, and he
Already too tired to speak, I told him not to worry and to rest here for now, and then I would discuss the details after I understood the three holes.
I carefully looked at the three robbery holes in front of me. These three robbery holes and the one we drilled into were like a crossroads. The walls of the robbery hole in front were the same as before, neat and smooth, and they were dug leisurely.
However, the work on the other two sides was extremely messy. It was obvious that the people who dug these two holes were in a hurry, but judging from the techniques, they were basically the same as the smooth robbery hole. There was a lot of soil piled up in this hole, which was obviously made by digging this hole.
When there are passages on both sides, it accumulates here.
I wondered if this was dug by the senior who funded the construction of the Fish Bone Temple. Could it be that after he opened the robbery cave, he went to the underground palace to get the treasure, but the escape route was blocked by the stone gate, and he could not go back, so he dug it from both sides.
Got into a hole and wanted to escape
There would be no results from such speculation. I asked Fatty and Da Jinya to rest and wait where they were. I tied a long rope around my waist and climbed into the robbery cave on the left to explore the situation. If anything happened, I would
Blow the whistle and let the two fat men pull me back.
I was just about to get in when Big Gold Tooth stretched out his hand to hold me, took out a golden Buddha from his neck, handed it to me and said: Mr. Hu, put this on, it has been opened, just in case you encounter it.
You can defend yourself against any dirty things.
I took the golden Buddha and took a look at it. It was old and it was an antique. I said to the big gold tooth: This golden Buddha is very valuable. I’d better keep it for you two to defend yourself. Cave-robbers are very powerful, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
The ghost may be some kind of mechanism that we have never seen before. I will go to the caves on both sides to investigate. It will be fine. Don't worry.
Da Jinya was no longer as panicked as before. He grinned, reached into his collar, and took out more than twenty pendants. They were all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Guanyin, and the like, as well as some Taoist paper charms. The pendants were gold and jade.
Some are ivory, some are emerald, and they are all different. Daikin said to me: I have a bunch of them, they are all polished, and they are not afraid of any amount of dirt.
I thought to myself that no wonder this grandson insisted on entering the underground palace. He was not afraid at all. It turned out that there were these treasures as a backstage. I said to him: Yes, if you are afraid of ghosts, you will not fight backwards.
Things, that would be difficult to deal with, but I’m not sure yet, I’ll wait until I go to the cave here to have a look.
After saying that, he took the golden Buddha that Big Gold Tooth gave me and hung it on my neck. He thought to himself: During this period, I have been exposed to a lot of ancient objects, and my eyesight is not as good as before. I don’t think this consecrated golden Buddha is fake.
Damn it, don’t give it back to him yet. The two gold-touching charms he gave to Fatty and me last time were both imported from Xibei. Maybe I didn’t go well with gold-touching in the past few times because I wore fake charms.
It made Grandmaster unhappy. Those fakes are better than having them. It might be better not to wear them than to wear them. We will pay him back after the big gold teeth are bought for us in exchange for real gold-touching talismans. This will be regarded as a deposit first.
The wind can be clearly felt in this section of the cave, and the airflow is very strong. It seems that it is connected to somewhere, so there is no need to worry about the air quality. I told the fat man to follow the contact codes from previous times.
Fatty and Big Gold Tooth stayed where they were to rest. I explored the path to the left, with a rope attached in the middle so that they would not get lost. If either party encountered a situation, they could pull the rope or blow the whistle to convey information.
Everything was properly explained. I put on a gas mask, used wolf eyes to illuminate it, and got into the hole on the left. This hole was obviously dug in a hurry. It was narrow and difficult to walk through. It could only accommodate one person crawling. If the mental quality was a little worse,
It's easy to have a mental breakdown here because it's too low and depressing, as if you were buried alive underground.
I was worried about the lack of air in the depths of the cave, so I didn’t dare to stay too long. After all, the gas mask could only protect the mouth and nose from inhaling harmful gases, but it left my eyes and ears unshielded. If there were toxic gases such as fog and miasma, they would all go away.
The five senses are connected to the seven orifices, and if the eyes are exposed to the outside, they will be poisoned.
The narrow cave made me completely lose my sense of direction and distance. I didn't climb far out based on my intuition, and then I encountered another thick stone slab in front. The thickness of this stone slab was incalculable, and it was different from the surrounding stone slabs.
The soil seemed to have grown into one piece, rather than being buried later, and its size could not be determined. The entire exit was completely blocked.
The end of the thief's cave suddenly expanded. It was obvious that the man wanted to dig a way out from below or around it. He dug very deep on all sides, but the huge stone slab seemed to be so big that it had no edge. It was difficult to find the entrance and dig a passage out.
Possible things.
It wasn't just once or twice that I got trapped. Although it was strange, I didn't feel discouraged. I immediately climbed back the way I came. When Fatty Jinya saw me crawling back, he asked how to get through to where.
I roughly told what happened at the end of the passage. The three of them were all puzzled and couldn't understand. Could it be that this huge stone slab was naturally born in the soil, but it was so neatly made? It was artificially cut into stone that weighed several kilograms.
Slate is also extremely difficult.
The most damn strange thing is that when we got into the robbery cave, why didn't we find this stone slab? When we went back, it appeared out of thin air. It is said that there are many mechanisms in the ancient tomb, and they can't be so powerful. I can only say it is strange.
Now there are two holes in front of us, one is a robbery hole going downwards, and the other is similar to the narrow hole I just entered. I guess the situation inside is similar to the narrow hole I just entered. There are also stone slabs blocking the way, so there is no way around it.
.
But I’m a person who won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River. Damn it, this is a bit unlucky. This place is not far from the Yellow River. If I don’t give up, I won’t cry until I see the coffin. But this is a robber hole for fighting.
It's not far from the Ancient Tomb Palace, so there will naturally be coffins and coffins in the ancient tombs. This time, we really have reached the end of the world, and all the coffins and coffins from the Yellow River are there.
I didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this time, I was most afraid of scaring myself. I rested for a few minutes and followed the same pattern as before. I got into the burglar's cave on the right. Whether it was also sealed by a big stone, you have to see it to know.
If this road is dead, try to find another way to deal with it.
I climbed to the end of the narrow cave, and sure enough, there was still a huge boulder. I couldn't help but want to curse, but suddenly I found something unusual here. Book Alliance
