Chapter 18 Bluestone Solitary Bridge

A group of people filed in and entered the passage through the entrance of the cave. After entering, they felt the slight flow of air. The firelight shone through the humid air. The space inside was much larger than they imagined. The spaces on both sides were

The wall showed some traces of artificial excavation. This was indeed not a natural cave, but probably part of a large ventilation system. It seems that the clues this time are absolutely true, and the tomb of the Wei and Jin Dynasties should be inside.

"Brother Bai, look! What are all those black shadows in front of you?" Yao Jingli followed the firelight and pointed at the bud-shaped black shadows hanging down like stalactites on the wall at the top of the passage ahead, and screamed.

Bai Wuyan quickly made a silent gesture and reminded in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, maybe it's bats. You wake them up again."

"Is there such a big bat? It's too scary!" Yao Jingli was thinking in her heart, she couldn't believe that it was a bat.

The three people moved forward cautiously, and only when they got closer did they take a closer look. The bud-shaped black shadow was made up of reddish-brown wings closed together, but it was more than three times larger than the average bat, most likely

It is an ancient species of bat. It seems that the pheasant was scared back by this creature. At this time, no one wanted to find out whether it was a bat or some other animal. They just wanted to pass quickly and stay away from them.

Far away.

After passing the long passage filled with unknown creatures, the road began to go downhill. There seemed to be a faint sound of gurgling water. The three of them continued to move forward following the sound, but they could not see it.

Some kind of water flow or underground river appeared. However, the passage became wider and wider, until finally the walls on both sides were no longer visible.

Bai Wuyan said alertly: "Everyone, be careful. Let's gather around and walk slowly. Something feels wrong here."

"Master Bai, it's so strange. Where does this sound of water coming from come from? Why can't I see it even if I keep walking?" Jiang Qianfeng asked curiously.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's continue to move forward slowly according to the path we can take."

Although Jiang Qianfeng was puzzled, he still responded and continued to explore slowly. Suddenly he shouted excitedly: "Look, there is a bridge ahead, but there is still no water below."

Bai Wuyan walked a few steps quickly after hearing the words, and caught up with Jiang Qianfeng who was exploring the road ahead, and looked towards his eyes. The bridge was made of bluestone, about as tall as a person, and there was no decoration on the bridge.

There are no patterns on the railings, not even steps. However, the bridge deck looks very wide, which can be roughly enough for two carriages and horses to pass parallelly. There are only traces of rivers or waterways under the bridge arches, giving people a sense of

A feeling of great ingenuity and inefficiency.

"It's strange that this bridge is alone here. Should we explore the boundaries around it?" Yao Jingli also observed it for a long time and suddenly suggested.

Bai Wuyan agreed and added: "Okay, let's do this. It feels very big here. The three of us will start from this bridge. In addition to the way we came, we will each choose a direction to explore. We will not go more than five steps at a time.

Come back after ten steps and exchange information once, so that we won't get separated and we can keep in touch with each other."

The others had no objections, so Bai Wuyan lit two more torches, gave one to Yao Jingli, and encouraged her: "You choose first, don't be afraid, we are not far away, if anything happens, you can

Just run back and gather together, we are all here."

Yao Jingli took the torch and responded: "Don't worry, I choose the front."

After she finished speaking, she raised the torch, strode onto the stone bridge with her head held high, walked forward without hesitation, and left without looking back.

"Then I choose the left." After Yao Jingli moved forward, Jiang Qianfeng also made a choice.

"Then let's take a look and see what we will find when we are separated." After Bai Wuyan said to Jiang Qianfeng, he walked towards the remaining right side.

Yao Jingli just stepped off the stone bridge. After taking a few steps, she suddenly regretted it. She felt as if she had been swayed by Bai Wuyan. She couldn't get up and down, so she had to make a brave gesture. When she turned back to look at the stone bridge

When we got to the bridge, there was no one on the left and right sides.

The two of them left very quickly. I am a girl of fifteen or sixteen, but I have never been to such a dark, humid and weird place. Yao Jingli felt bitter in her heart. After complaining, she became stronger.

She thought to herself, forget it, it would be even more scary to go back and face that weird stone bridge alone. Besides, she couldn't make up a lie to deceive them about what I had here. What if they didn't notice it later?

If this doesn't match what I said, wouldn't it be more embarrassing? This place actually doesn't look that scary. Except for those bat-like creatures, it doesn't look like a tomb anywhere. Otherwise, I'll go to the front and take a look.

At first glance, it turned out that Jiumei's wandering soul said there was another gate. If I could find it, those two would no longer think I was timid.

With her mind set, her steps became more steady, and before she knew it, Yao Jingli counted to fifty times. However, there was still endless ground in front of her, but there were some strange stone grooves on the ground. On the left

There is a horizontal linear groove, but on the right is a different arc groove. In front of her feet is the connection between the two grooves. The groove is very deep, but it is empty inside, and she has no idea what it is used for.

Yao Jingli thought to herself, let's go back to gather together and share this discovery. Maybe they would find something there. When she returned to Shiqiao, Bai Wuyan and Jiang Qianfeng were already waiting there.

It sounded like the two of them had been arguing for a while, and the eyes they turned to were full of expectation, expecting her to verify who was right and who was wrong.

It was Jiang Qianfeng who spoke first, and for the first time he said with such a strong competitive spirit: "Master Bai said that he found an arc-shaped groove on the ground over there, and I said that I happened to find a straight-line groove here.

, I thought the two must be related, but Master Bai said that the two have nothing to do with each other. What did you find over there? Tell me about it and see if you can tell which one of us is right."

After hearing this, Yao Jingli described his findings in detail. Everyone analyzed that it seemed that the grooves on both sides met together in the front.

However, although Bai Wuyan admitted this fact, he still insisted on his own opinion, so he suggested: "I think it is too early to draw a conclusion now. Let's continue to explore fifty steps forward in our own direction, and come back

Say it again."

Generally speaking, the current situation is indeed a bit blind, and it is meaningless to argue because it is unclear, so everyone continues to explore according to what Bai Wuyan said.
