Chapter 26 Two shadow figures, ghosts?
When Xie Fei heard Xiaoya's words, his face turned red. He thought, 'You can't just pretend you don't know and don't tell me.' But now he probably understood that something must have been painted on this passage.
The material actually has a sound-insulating effect.
Hearing that Xiaoya was okay, Xie Fei also climbed to the top of the coffin, shrank his body, and jumped down. However, he was not as lucky as Xiaoya and had Old Wu to cushion him. After a while, a "bang." came out,
There was no light at all in the darkness below. The passage was two stories high. Before he could prepare for the buffer, his feet had already stepped firmly onto the ground, making him feel numb from the shock.
When Lao Wu saw Xie Fei coming down, he felt a little excited. He hugged Xie Fei and almost cried. "I knew you were a person who valued friendship."
Xie Fei agreed wholeheartedly, "Yes, yes. I met a traveling Taoist a few years ago. He said that my forehead lines were particularly deep and I looked like a person who values love and justice. In the end, the Taoist asked me to buy him one.
The lunch box says that a person like me who values friendship will definitely buy it for him, and he won’t eat what others buy.”
After hearing this, Xiaoya felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, thinking that these two people were really good. If there was no other way, who would be willing to jump into the fire pit.
After a while, Xie Fei asked for the lighter, lit the lamp again, and carefully looked at the two passages below. The two passages were arranged left and right. The passage on the left was uneven, with different heights, and there were
It's nearly two stories high, and the shorter one must be three or four meters tall. There are stalagmites of different sizes hanging down from the top of the cave, like a purely natural underground cave. The passage on the right is shorter, but it's still as tall as two people.
, and the excavation is also very neat, but it is obviously old, and even the carving marks have begun to weather.
"Which way to go?" Xiaoya asked
"Needless to say, we must take this route." Old Wu stretched out his hand and pointed at the artificially dug passage.
"No, why do I feel it's not that simple? If it's just to build a secret tunnel for escape, then the simpler the better. When we came in, we happened to be on the mountainside. This mountain may not be big, but it's not small.
Yes, the day before we came in, my second uncle, Xiaoya and I went to the top of the mountain to see. The distance from the mountainside to the center line of the mountain is about one thousand meters, and that’s just the plane where the sorghum field is. Now we’re digging down.
Nearly a hundred meters, which means that our current location is 2.5 kilometers or five miles from the ground."
"Five miles away?" Lao Wu couldn't believe it. "It's true or false."
"Mountains are piled up, not erected on one pillar. Generally speaking, the mountain will not collapse unless its vertical height and longitudinal width are one to two. One thousand times two is two thousand meters, and we
Another hundred meters were dug, which is one point one times two, which is two point two thousand meters, and two point two times two, which is four and a half miles. If that side is the exit, four and a half miles will be dug.
It is a big project to move soil over such a long distance, but it is difficult to transport soil outward without being discovered. Moreover, the cave itself is formed by the corrosion of limestone when it encounters weakly acidic water. Under normal circumstances, there are
There are underground rivers in the caves, and even if this is not a real underground passage, I think it will be easier for us to find a way out."
"If there is a road, we have to think of other ways. It's really taxing. Besides, we don't have oxygen bottles. How can we walk through the underground river?"
"This is my own opinion. If we have to take another path, then I won't object."
Xie Fei looked at Lao Wu, but Lao Wu turned to look at Xiaoya and asked her opinion. Xiaoya looked left and right, and finally jumped to Xie Fei, picked up one of his arms and said, "I choose Xie Fei."
No.".
"Why?" Xie Fei asked
"Because you look white."
Lao Wu was speechless for a while, thinking, 'What's wrong with my dark appearance? Can you blame me?' However, when he saw that Xiaoya had already walked over to Xie Fei, he began to hesitate.
"I'll go over there first to see what the cave looks like, and I'll come back after I see it." After finishing speaking, Old Wu started walking towards the cave.
Lao Wu was walking in front holding the lamp, Xie Fei was behind, and Xiaoya was sandwiched in the middle.
"Hey, what is this?" Xiaoya pointed towards Old Wu in his pocket.
Old Wu reached into his pocket and took out the 'Merman Tear'.
"Ah, the Night Pearl? Is this the Night Pearl?" Xiaoya's mouth was open enough to swallow an egg, and she could see that it was still emitting a misty white light in the dark tomb passage.
"Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Really?." Xiaoya held it in her hand and played with it. She had long heard that Empress Dowager Cixi had such a thing. Later, when the great warlord Sun Dianying blew up her tomb, she still had it in her mouth.
This thing was later used as a favor by Sun Dianying in order to please Chairman Chiang, but Commander Chiang gave it to his wife Song Qingling, and finally it was embroidered by her on her embroidered shoes. Did the second uncle ever
Having said that this thing is priceless, even if you have money, you can't buy it. Thinking of it, Xiaoya suddenly realized something and gave it back to Lao Wu. "I can't take such a good thing, you should keep it for yourself."
After saying that, he couldn't put it down and gave it to Lao Wu.
"I'll let you play with it. There's no point in keeping it anyway."
"That's not okay, I can't have it." After Xiaoya said that, she glanced at the 'mermaid's tears' again, but she only thought that it was a luminous pearl. If she knew its true identity, she would probably drop it to the ground.
"How about you use it to illuminate it first? Don't burn out the oil in the lamp again."
"Don't worry, this lamp won't be extinguished even if it burns for another ten years." Xie Fei said.
"Ah..." Xiaoya looked at the oil lamp in disbelief. She just thought that the lamp was about the same size as a dining plate. She didn't expect that it was also a treasure.
"I don't know how Uncle Second and the others are doing." This sentence suddenly came out of Lao Wu's mouth.
In fact, this is what puzzles Xie Fei the most. In such a big place, you can hear a fart even if you fart, but Cui Yuan and the others make no sound at all.
"Let's move forward. Now we can count on our ancestors to open their eyes."
Old Wu was holding the lamp in front, while Xie Fei carefully observed the passage. The passage was more than two meters wide. There were stalagmites formed on the ground and the stalagmites on the top of the passage. They were facing each other. They looked like a pair of sharp peaks.
The teeth were so black that one couldn't even see his fingers. Walking in the passage felt like he was walking towards the throat of a giant beast.
It felt like there was a downhill slope ahead. Xie Fei was still dazed and accidentally stepped on Xiaoya's heel. "Yes..." Xie Fei was about to apologize, but Xiaoya covered his mouth with one hand. It felt slippery.
Smooth and tender.
Xie Fei thought something was wrong with Xiaoya again, and quickly glanced at her. Xiaoya didn't say anything, and there was a slight sweat on her forehead. She stretched out a finger and pointed at Lao Wu in front of her.
Xie Fei glanced at Old Wu, but didn't notice any changes in him.
"What's wrong?" Xie Fei asked as quietly as possible
"He...has...two shadows." Xiaoya said tremblingly.
Xie Fei was shocked and quickly glanced at Old Wu again.
