Chapter 600: Huangquan Road
The abnormal noise in the Robber's Cave made me think that there was a big problem during the excavation. This situation is very dangerous. I have almost been buried alive before, and I know how terrifying it is. I threw the teapot in my hand and walked away.
He rushed forward, pushed away Wushuang who was lying at the entrance of the cave, trying to see clearly what was going on inside, and loudly asked about Lao Bai's safety.
There was no movement inside for a long time.
"Give me the rope!"
I took the rope from Wushuang that was used to pull out the soil, and was about to get in when I heard Lao Bai coughing from inside.
"Um...I'm fine here..."
Lao Bai muttered: "But...it seems we don't have to dig all the way in. It seems...it's connected here? Damn it, I don't know how to explain this situation. You'd better come in and take a look for yourselves."
Lao Bai has done a lot of digging and fighting, but when it comes to complex situations, he is really beyond his ability to handle them. All I have to do is be good at it. This is my job.
"Wushuang, Brother Yaozi, you two go in with me first."
I greeted the two people who came over first, and then told Zhang Xinya, who had just poked his head out of the sleeping bag: "You and Xiaozhi pack your things. The situation inside may be different from my guess. Maybe we don't have to keep digging."
Got it!"
Zhang Xinya nodded to reassure me.
"Stay in there and don't move!"
I yelled loudly into the thief's cave. After thinking about Lao Bai's playful temperament that caused trouble, I felt a little uneasy, and then warned: "Think about the black fog we encountered on the edge of the Yellow River at that time. This place may be the worst place we have ever seen."
This is the most dangerous place we have ever experienced, don’t be so damn stupid, or even the King of Heaven and I will not be able to save you!"
"knew!"
Lao Bai said angrily: "Come quickly, this place is really weird. There is such a place dug out under the city wall. I am already here now, but I won't move, just waiting here."
Hearing his answer, I felt relieved and woke up the Tianguan Blade. Wushuang also carried the big box containing the Mo Dao on his back, and then the three of us got in together.
The robbery cave is not a big project. We are all veterans and the digging speed is very fast. However, the length of five days is already quite long. It probably penetrates half of the mountain. After crawling inside for a long time, we finally finally
The end.
There was a dark hole in front of me. When I shined a flashlight on it, it looked like a tunnel.
Climbing into the corridor from the gangster cave, I saw Lao Bai, who was sitting on a big rock smoking...
"You are really not afraid of death."
I was a little angry when I saw his careless look, and said helplessly: "I have always been confused. People like you can't survive three episodes on TV, and can only survive three years in the world.
Do you know how you have survived these twenty years? This place has obviously been covered in dust for thousands of years. If you don't keep it safe, there is some flammable gas in it. How dare you smoke? If you are unlucky, it will blow you up."
Lao Bai grinned and boasted that on the day he was born, purple air came from the east and his whole body glowed with golden light. It was obvious that he was a person favored by heaven...
I didn't have time to listen to such nonsense, so I interrupted him rudely and asked him to explain the situation.
"Well, didn't you see everything?"
Lao Bai raised his chin at the big rock under his butt: "I was digging a hole, and I dug and dug, and I found this big rock. I didn't think much about it at first. After all, you chose this bird.
The place is too far away from the road. We have dug out a lot of rocks in the past few days. We dug out whatever we could and went around if we couldn't. I thought the situation was the same, so I used a crowbar to tilt the stone, and then
Pushing forward, the stone suddenly fell into the corridor..."
This is weird.
The reason why a ghost town is a ghost town is because all the people in the city are dead. Even if an earth dragon turns over and is buried, it is essentially different from a tomb. The emergence of tunnels is indeed a bit different.
Pretty normal.
However, being able to dig this tunnel is indeed a matter of luck. As long as we dig the tunnel a little further away, we probably won't be able to find it.
"You said...is this a secret passage?"
Brother Yaozi rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said: "In the past, many important people in the ancient cities would dig secret passages. Once the city was surrounded by enemies, these people would shout in front of them that they were patriotic and wanted to live and die with the city, deceiving everyone.
Helping ordinary people who had nothing to do with them to rush to die, and then after the enemy broke through the city, they got into the secret passage and ran away, leaving a lot of ordinary people to watch eagerly and let the city be massacred and humiliated..."
When I thought about it, this explanation seemed interesting.
Indeed, this kind of thing happened frequently in history.
The most famous one is definitely the secret passage in Jinling Ming Palace.
After Zhu Yunwen came to power, he kept shouting about cutting the flags. Zhu Di begged and begged to no avail, and pretended to be crazy and stupid. It was no use. He was cruel and rebelled directly. He launched the Jingnan Campaign and beat Zhu Yunwen to the point where his grandfather could not even recognize him after he was resurrected.
By the time Zhu Di conquered Jinling, the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen had become a mystery.
The most common theory is that Emperor Jianwen set himself on fire.
Another theory is that when the city was destroyed, Zhu Yunwen ran away and later went to sea by boat. The famous Zheng He's voyage to the West was speculated by many to be Zhu Di looking for Emperor Jianwen...
The reason why this theory is tenable is that there is a secret passage in the imperial palace of Jinling that can lead directly to the outside of the city.
Zhu Di probably despised this kind of secret passage from the bottom of his heart, so after moving the capital, he did not build this thing in the Forbidden City. He left the emperor to guard the gate of the country and the king to die for the country. His words were carried out by his descendants, leaving behind the most courageous people.
A dynasty of...
There is no such thing in the Forbidden City, at least not in the Ming Dynasty, but it is undeniable that this is indeed something that the royal family often does. Basically every dynasty has such a way out, and only the emperor himself knows about this secret passage!
The tunnel we see in front of us is just under the city wall. It really conforms to the construction rules of secret passages specially reserved for important people to escape...
Thinking of this, my eyes lit up: "If this secret passage is really used for escape, wouldn't it mean..."
Brother Yaozi laughed and said: "It leads directly to that fortress!!"
This is 100% true. The rest of the buildings in the entire ghost town are mediocre, at least a little more exquisite, but very low. The fortress stands out from the crowd, like a palace. If the tunnel is really a secret escape route and does not lead there,
Is it possible that it can still be connected to residential buildings?
The so-called boulders are actually stones used to build corridors. They are very flat and look like they were cut and polished by hand. Lao Bai can think of this stone as an ordinary miscellaneous stone. There is really no one else. If it had been anyone else, it would have been like this.
One look at this stone and I knew that I had dug it in a serious place. It was right to call someone, but he insisted on causing trouble, which made people panic.
At this time, my master and Zhang Xinya came over dragging their heavy luggage.
As soon as I explained the general situation, my master pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "You and Yao Zi know these things best. Since you can save energy, you might as well follow this secret passage and see what's going on.
!”
I nodded, shared the luggage with the three of them, and walked ahead with Brother Yaozi to explore the way.
The corridor is very long and curved overall. I can roughly feel it.
After walking for a while, I gradually discovered some interesting places. The ground in the corridor was slightly tilted!!
This kind of design...is a bit interesting!
I can only speculate like this.
And Lao Bai has been bragging to my master about his achievements, saying that being able to find this place is all due to his luck, Lao Bai, otherwise he would not know how much effort it would have taken, until we saw him again
When the hole was dug, the bragging stopped abruptly, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Back again?"
The kite was startled and looked at my master subconsciously.
My master shook his head, indicating that it was not something unclean.
Everyone fell into silence. If it was said that they were nervous, it wasn't that much.
Because this situation is so common, this is a typical maze, like this kind of situation that keeps spinning in place, but who of us in this industry has never encountered it three or five times in our life?
Just talking about a few of us, this has happened to us more than once.
When I was burying the demon tomb, I passed by the ghost market and encountered such a situation.
However, the situation is the same, but there are countless possibilities for the cause. It may be a ghost breaking the wall, it may be a ghost covering the eyes, it may be Qi Men Dun Jia, or it may be some weird mechanisms, or even
So colorless and odorless hallucinogenic drugs are, in short, weird and weird. Just when you think you understand all the means to cause this situation, there will always be new means to show you that the world is very big.
If you want to resolve this situation, you must figure out what is causing you to spin in circles, so that you can crack it in a targeted manner.
The situation is clear, the robbery hole is right in front of us, and we can leave calmly. In other words, this is not a hallucinogenic drug, nor is it a ghost beating the wall or covering one's eyes. Otherwise, we will not be able to find a way out.
"Don't be anxious yet. It's not a life-threatening crisis. Just rest."
I sat down on the big stone at the entrance of the thief's cave, leaned against the cold corridor, closed my eyes and stopped talking.
In fact, my mind has been active. The architectural pattern of this corridor is a bit strange. I think this is probably the breakthrough. I have been thinking about the characteristics of all the places I have passed. When these are combined, this corridor
