Chapter 44 Secret Room Conversation
As the figure disappeared, before I could wake up from the shock, I felt my hands loose, and then two figures ran towards the exit, but the two people were obviously not so lucky. With a bang, two figures fell heavily to the ground. Obviously, the two people could not rush through the entrance. It was only then that I could see who the two people lying on the ground were, and they were He Jianqiang and his son.
So was Zhang Zuo who ran out just now? I naturally realized that it was only him and He Xiaojianqiang who reached out to the box to grab things, because He Jianqiang and I were both holding hands, and only the two of them had free of one hand. I really didn't expect that Zhang Zuo could actually grab things from He Xiaojianqiang's hands, and what was even more incredible was that he could easily pass through the entrance.
I didn't help He Jianqiang and his son. They had already climbed up from the ground quickly. He Jianqiang's face was quite excited, while He Xiaojianqiang had a gloomy face. Obviously, he didn't expect that Zhang Zuo had such a move. At this time, I naturally knew that even if I didn't hold hands with each other in the stone chamber, I just wanted to leave this stone chamber, but I was afraid that my help would still be indispensable.
He Jianqiang rushed over with a quick step, pulled me out, because his movements were too fast and too strong, one of my arms was pulled so painful that I couldn't help but shout, "What do you want to do?"
He Jianqiang didn't care about so much, and directly pulled He Xiaojianqiang and I to rush out of the entrance and exit, but at this time there was no one outside. Zhang Zuo had no idea where he ran, and He Jianqiang wanted to continue chasing. He Xiaojianqiang reached out to stop He Jianqiang and shook his head at him: "This person is so hidden so deeply that I have hidden it. I don't believe that he has no backhand. Moreover, his movements are so fast that he will definitely not be able to catch up even if he chases out now. It's better to maintain his physical strength first and think about what he should do next."
Only then did I realize that He Jianqiang wanted to pull me out of this stone chamber to track Zhang Zuo. After hearing He Xiaojianqiang's words, He Jianqiang looked unwilling, but finally sighed, let go of my hand, and sat on the ground with a helpless look on my face. I became more and more curious. What Zhang Zuo took away seemed to be extremely important to He Jianqiang. It is said that the last thing left in Pandora's box was hope, and I don't know if the box I just opened, the thing I stolen was disaster or hope.
But it is true that Xiao Jianqiang said that now we must think about what to do next, such as how to leave this place. We must know that we don’t even know how to come in outside. It was obviously a small room when we came in, but in a blink of an eye, I found myself in an underground stone chamber. It seemed that it was unlikely to go out from the same path. I couldn’t help but look at He Xiao Jianqiang. Among the three, he is the strongest of the three. Every time I encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, I thought of him immediately. As for other grievances, let’s put them aside.
Actually, there are many questions I want to ask, such as what is in that box, and what is Zhang Zuo? I remember that when I was about to enter this small house outside, He Xiaojianqiang warned him, and for example, why can Zhang Zuo run out from that entrance easily? Could it be that this place has something to do with him? There are too many questions, but the most important question is how to get out, so although I was so curious, I saw He Jianqiang and his son looking around with gloomy faces, so I had to hide all these questions.
The three of them walked carefully while checking, but found nothing. They gradually walked to the place where they first discovered He Jianqiang. This place was originally just a small room, but suddenly it turned into a huge stone chamber. No one knew what was going on in the darkness, and they didn't see Zhang Zuo along the way. I think he didn't know how to leave here.
Everything in the stone chamber was as old as before. Except for one person missing, He Jianqiang and his son still did not give up and looked at every corner, but they still didn't find anything. My heart sank. Could it be that I was going to be trapped in this place? At this moment, He Xiaojianqiang suddenly shouted: "Come here!"
I rushed over. I thought he had made some big discoveries, but I saw him squatting on the ground, pointing his finger to the ground, and saying, "Look at this place."
There was no light in the stone chamber, and the flashlight was only used to maintain the light. Even if it was a powerful flashlight, there was a limit to the light. I looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any name, but He Jianqiang shouted in surprise: "Return to the word mechanism?"
I don’t know what “replying to the word mechanism” is, but when I heard the excitement in He Jianqiang’s voice, I seemed to have found a way to get out. I was also overjoyed and said, “Can I go out?”
He Xiaojianqiang shook his head and said, "It's all up to the will of God."
I was anxious and asked, "What does it mean? Can you go out?"
He Xiaojianqiang waved his hand and told me not to worry. Then he sat on the ground and said, "I have to tell you what the 'returning to the word "mechanism" is. Do you remember when we first came in was in a small room? Later, I asked you to open the door and go out, but you touched a whole piece of wooden board, and you didn't touch the door at all."
I nodded. This has always been a problem that I couldn't figure out. I still don't understand why I suddenly came to a completely unfamiliar place. The small room is not that big. Could it be another place similar to the ghost village? This seems reasonable. After all, it is the seventy-third room, and it should be a little mysterious.
He Xiaojianqiang shook his head and said, "Actually, we were indeed in that small room at the beginning, but later there was an accident during the fight. Someone touched the mechanism. The room landed on the ground like an elevator, so you couldn't find the door in this process. After landing, the wooden boards rose quietly. The floor we stepped on at that time should have fallen into the ground of the stone chamber where we are now. Naturally, there may be more complex changes in it, but it is roughly the same. This is the so-called "huizi Machine". The underground stone chamber is a larger word "mouth" and the small room above is a smaller word "mouth". This kind of mechanism is most used in the ancient tombs of the emperor."
I heard him say so much, but still didn't talk about how to get out. I couldn't help but ask, "How can I get out?"
He Xiaojianqiang smiled bitterly and said, "This is what I meant by God. Since the mechanism was coming down from above, if we want to go up again, just press the mechanism from below and press it. However, I searched for it for a long time and this mechanism had been used by Zhang Zuo once. In other words, if we still want to go up, unless someone above sat down again. Zhang is indeed not simple as this person. It seems that we landed in this stone chamber because of his reasons. After all, he is the last one to enter the small room, and only he has the best chance to start the mechanism."
I was suddenly in despair. At this time, no matter who activated the mechanism, I just thought that I had spent countless time exploring the so-called truth. I didn't expect that after finding No. 73, a mysterious place that seemed to be closely related to me, I had to end my life here. I didn't think that anyone could come in easily in this place, and I happened to find this place and discover the mechanism, and finally rescued us. This probability is really zero.
He Xiaojianqiang also sat on the ground, looked at me, and said, "It's pretty good. Even if I'm really going to die, I'll have companions on the road." I also smiled bitterly, followed him and sat on the ground, and said, "Do you have any cigarettes? I suddenly want to smoke a cigarette."
As soon as he said something, he suddenly saw the expression on He Xiaojianqiang's face change, and he shouted: "Smoke!" His tone was full of surprise.
I was stunned at first, and then shouted: "Smoke!" I was also filled with surprise, because at this moment I suddenly remembered my experience in the underground secret room of Gexi Village. This place is the same as that, and I am also in the ground, but the air is not turbid at all, but it is very fresh. This shows that there must be a ventilation vent in a place we have not discovered yet. With this ventilation vent, with He Jianqiang's ancestral tomb robbery, I am afraid that it will be easy to get out. In this way, as long as he turns back and opens the mechanism, we can go out safely.
When we thought of this, we immediately became energetic and immediately started looking for such a ventilation vent, but after searching for a long time, I didn't find it. When we were in despair again, I even wondered if this was the effect of the formation. However, He Jianqiang and his son shook their heads and denied it. They just couldn't find the ventilation vent. Even if we wanted to make a fire and use the fluidity of the smoke to determine the location of the ventilation vent, it was not feasible. After all, this place was too big, and there were not many things that could be lit on us. Even if we took off our underwear, it would not be possible to support it for too long.
The three of them were exhausted, but once again fell into a desperate situation. Everyone was sitting on the ground and panting. I glanced at He Jianqiang and his son and said, "Maybe we really have to explain here this time. If we die, we have to be a clear understanding. What is in that box?"
He Jianqiang and his son shook their heads at the same time, and I cursed: "I don't know what it is, but you can steal it. What if it is something like a poisonous snake, scorpion, black widow, it depends on whether you still have life!" He sighed and said dejectedly: "But now it's almost the same, and this life is almost the same no longer belongs to me."
He Xiaojianqiang said: "I didn't want to grab the things in the box at first, but I found that Zhang Zai had reached out to get it first, so I instinctively wanted to stop him and wanted to get this thing first."
Speaking of Zhang Zuo, I immediately remembered He Xiaojianqiang's guard against him all the time, and couldn't help asking: "When did you find something wrong with him? I haven't noticed that he is abnormal."
He Xiaojian said: "When I saw that mirror, I found something wrong with him. Anyone, as long as he suddenly saw a strong light in the dark, would instinctively close his eyes or cover his eyes with his hands. Even if he had received strict training, he must be sure when the strong light would appear to see what is inside normally. Otherwise, no matter who it is, he would definitely close his eyes unexpectedly. This is determined by human physiology and cannot be changed. Even if I, I would close my eyes first and then barely open it.
Even though I opened my eyes so quickly, I only saw the last picture in the mirror, and I didn’t even see who the person inside was. If he hadn’t known early in the morning there would be a strong light inside and there would be a mirror, it would never have been possible to see more than me.”
He Xiaojianqiang said this with great confidence. I didn't care where his confidence came from and said, "It turns out that you pretended to be a ghost and were just lying to me."
He Xiaojianqiang said: "At that moment, I felt Zhang Zao's hand tremble slightly. Obviously, it was because he was too excited that I deliberately did this. I wanted to know what he had discovered, but I still couldn't be sure if what he said was true. And it was from that time that I found that he seemed to know a lot about traditional Chinese things. Although he was more wary of him in his heart, he did not expect to underestimate him. It seems that he has always been familiar with this place and has been prepared for a long time. That's right, since he can see the soul of the so-called building, he can naturally see the existence of No. 73, but he has been pretending to be stupid with us before."
Some of the previous doubts finally resolved. Seeing He Xiaojianqiang's appearance, I hated and admired Zhang Zuo. I sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't know what is inside the box."
Since Zhang Zuo spent so much effort to snatch this thing, it can be seen that the value of this thing must be extremely high. Now the thing has been taken away by him, and there is probably no possibility to recover it. It would be like the person who looked very similar to me hundreds of years ago. I would go to the Holy See to snatch that thing back. Besides, I don’t know where Zhang Zuo would bring this thing. I sighed and said regretfully: “It’s a pity that I’m going to die and I don’t know what that thing is.”
"Hope, there is hope inside."
I was shocked. The sound was made by He Jianqiang. I quickly turned my head and looked at him, thinking that you wouldn't really think that this is Pandora's box, leaving a hope in it at the end.
Anyway, I was about to die, so I was not so afraid of their father and son. I looked at He Jianqiang with contempt and sneered, "How old are you? You believe it when they say it casually." But with a word, I suddenly realized something was wrong. You must know that He Jianqiang couldn't suppress his excitement when he saw the box first. It can be seen that he still had a certain understanding of the box, otherwise it would not be like this. More importantly, he obviously went to the ancient tomb where no one knew where, how could it appear here again? It was connected between the front and back, but I was afraid that he really knew what was in the box. So he said before that he didn't know, but he was afraid that he was a lie. Now he knew that he was going to die, so he stopped hiding it. It turns out that he was good at saying that he was about to die.
