At the end of the walk, there is a thick darkness. The ink is so black that it seems to absorb the light. The miner's lamp, which usually has a strong penetrating ability, shines out at this moment, but it cannot shine to the end, and can only shine for two or three times.
meters away.
The entire tomb passage was dark and quiet, with only the sound of the footsteps and breathing of a few of us walking, which made people feel frightened.
I walked very slowly and followed closely beside Hua Bubai, followed by the footsteps of Eleven and Mo Yibai. I really wanted to say a few words to relieve the depressing atmosphere, but the silence and darkness in the tomb passage made me feel uncomfortable.
It was like an invisible pressure that tightly pressed my throat, preventing me from even breathing loudly.
Hua Bubai felt the same as me. His nervous forehead was covered with sweat. In addition to excitement, there was also a lot of fear. After walking for a while, Hua Bubai said that this place was a bit weird and asked us to be careful.
I said: "You don't want to back off, do you? Since everyone has come in, there is no reason not to go and find out what's going on."
"Who said I gave up? I, Hua Bubai, am that kind of person!" Hua Bubai suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you? I don't know who is dead or alive."
If you refused to come down, why do you want to go in now?"
I really refused to come down before. I didn’t want to cause more troubles on this road. As An An told us at the beginning, our road was already full of dangers. If we were not careful, we would lose our lives. Why should we give ourselves more time?
To cause trouble. However, since we have already descended from this tomb, there is no reason not to go there once. This is my personality. I don’t like to go into muddy water. If I do go into it, I have to go through it even at the risk of my life.
, never take a detour.
As I said that, I wanted to go back and ask Eleven and Mo Yibai if what I said was right. Even though I was down, I had to go and see if it was true. After all, I am also a descendant of Old Master Long. I entered the tomb and escaped.
Wouldn't that be a joke for nothing? Even if he wasn't laughed at, he would probably have to be laughed at by my grandfather. Anyway, the matter of the Immortal Tomb is not urgent. Now that I know that my grandfather's cunning fox is still safe,
Maybe he is not a human being, so I have nothing to worry about.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw that there were still figures of Eleven and Mo Yibai. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't even see my fingers.
I said: "Eleven, Mo Yibai, are you following?"
My voice echoed emptyly in the tomb passage, but there was no reply from Eleven or Mo Yibai.
At this time, Hua Bubai also turned around. The miner's lamp on Hua Bubai's head was shining towards the back, only a distance of two or three meters was illuminated. Any further away would be incomprehensible darkness, and these two or three meters
Within the distance, there were no shadows of Shi Yi and Mo Yibai, and my shout was neither light nor heavy. Even if there was no light in the tomb passage, my voice could still penetrate it, and there was no answer from the two of them.
Hua Bubai looked at me with a pale face. His already fair face had a layer of paleness added to it, as if he had been smeared with a thick layer of flour. He looked particularly scary in a dark place.
I said, don't look at me like that, they might be studying antiquities in the back. Isn't Shiyi an archaeologist? Archaeologists like to dawdle, unlike you, who just go in and pick out the good things. If you don't do it smoothly,
Even if you don't look at it, what people pay attention to is culture. Even if it is a broken earthen pot, it can talk about history and culture endlessly.
"No." Hua Bubai paused for a moment, then whispered, "Didn't you hear it just now... I clearly heard them following us all the time, and I heard their footsteps all the time, so I
It never stopped. Just when you stopped, I heard the footsteps coming very close behind you. The sound was definitely from behind us, one meter away. If that sound was not theirs... then
Whose?"
When I heard what Hua Bubai said, my heart got excited and I felt chills running down my spine. I heard the footsteps just now, so I always thought that Mo Yibai and Eleven were following us. Saying that,
Where did the footsteps come from?
I said, don't scare yourself, maybe you heard wrong. If there is a ghost, can I not find it?
In fact, I don’t have any confidence in my heart. Although I am an exorcist and have caught a lot of ghosts, my moral skills have never been high. Just like when I met the princess and the old man from Loulan Kingdom, I didn’t know how to do it at all.
There is a way to detect it. This ancient tomb looks quite old at first glance. If there is a ghost, it must be a thousand-year-old ghost. I really may not be able to deal with it.
Of course, you can't scare yourself at this time. If you mess up your position, you'll scare yourself to death.
Hua Bubai said that he heard it right. There was no way he heard it wrong. We didn’t talk much. Working in ancient tombs was very dangerous. He has always been very sharp and clear. In such quiet conditions, there was absolutely no way he heard it wrong. Moreover,
He didn't feel it just now, but now that he thought about it, when he heard that sound, he always felt a chill on his back.
I said, "Calm down, shouldn't you be more familiar with this place than me? If you are so courageous, I really wonder if what you said before was all lies."
When I doubted his ability, Hua Bubai immediately became unhappy, "I've just never encountered such a situation."
I asked Hua Bubai to be quiet, and we went back to look for Mo Yibai and Eleven. Maybe they were still in the tomb where we came in.
Just two steps back, I suddenly heard a thumping sound, as if something heavy was pressing down on the stone slabs on the ground.
"Wow, what is that!" Hua Bubai screamed.
A giant stone ball has appeared in our sight. It is like a stone ball the size of a tomb passage, rolling towards us. It weighs not more than a ton, but must weigh several thousand kilograms. If it is pressed down, then
If he wasn't going to be crushed into a pulp, he would have to be shattered into pieces. We didn't have time to care where he came from, so we turned around and ran away, regardless of whether there were dangers ahead.
The stone balls behind us were rolling after us. We both used all our strength and ran with gritted teeth. The tomb passage was a bit ridiculously long. We ran at a speed of 100 meters for almost four or five minutes and still didn't reach the bottom.
The long tomb passages are exactly the same, and it seems like we are walking in circles as we keep running.
Seeing that the ball behind us was getting closer and closer to us, we had nowhere to hide. There were no empty goals on either side. The ball was too big and there was no gap for us to escape when it rolled over. We could only run away.
"There is something wrong with this tomb passage!" Hua Bubai suddenly said.
I thought to myself, who doesn’t know that there is a problem with this tomb passage? If there was no problem, how could we be chased by this stone ball? Now is not the time to discover the problem, the key should be to solve the problem. If we keep running like this, we will lose our strength.
In five minutes at most, we have to go see the King of Hell.
Just when I was regretting that I thought that my tough life would be lost under such a broken stone, and it would be weird if I didn't turn around and let the king of hell laugh to death, suddenly there was a force on my right hand that pulled me over.
I fell so hard to the ground that I was staring at stars. I heard a loud rumble and the stone ball rolled past me. It was so dangerous that the soles of my feet were even rubbed against the stone ball.
I turned around and saw Hua Bubai standing aside. He had a handkerchief cut out of nowhere and was wiping the sweat from his forehead. It was Hua Bubai who had pulled me over just now.
I said that I had never seen a door here just now. How Hua Bubai discovered this door out of thin air and acted so quickly was astounding to me.
When Hua Bubai saw me praising him, his tail almost went up to the sky, "I don't even know who I am, sir, or what kind of place this is. This is a place where I spend more time than my home. How can I not be familiar with it?"
I think back then, I was..."
Seeing that Hua Bubai was about to talk endlessly about his deeds back then, I immediately stopped and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
"Who said I won't say anything? I'm just stretching the point..."
"You're going too far. I think our top priority is to find Eleven and Mo Yibai first." As I said that, I stuck my head out and looked outside. Seeing that I had no intention of listening anymore, Hua Bubai
Anxious.
He hurriedly explained, he said that he had encountered such a mechanism once, but what he encountered was a big iron ball, and the tomb passage was like this at that time. He also ran away, but it turned out that the tomb passage seemed to be round, why?
Running always feels like returning to the starting point. The more Hua Bubai runs, the more tired he feels. The more he runs, the closer the iron ball gets to him. The more he runs, the more desperate he becomes. He feels that he will never be able to escape.
I am afraid that I will die from this. But Hua Bubai is a person who loves to watch and has a handsome face. The thought of his face being crushed into pulp is simply more terrifying than letting himself die.
I was still sad, so I hit the wall without thinking, intending to understand myself before being crushed by the stone. What I didn't expect was that the collision did not kill me, but opened a way out.
It's a coincidence that the mechanism was just a breakthrough point, and Hua Bubai happened to hit it. Hua Bubai grew up eating fighting, and he knew that he would inevitably encounter similar mechanisms in the future.
So when I was safe, I started to study that thing. I didn't study the principle of rolling stones and how the tomb passage was created. However, I also found a way to get out of danger, which was good for Hua Bubai.
enough.
Hua Bubai was frightened by the footsteps behind him just now. He was thinking about the cold feeling on his back. He suddenly didn't remember that this tomb passage was similar to the tomb passage from back then. He waited until it was almost too late, and then he thought out of the blue.
I happened to see the breakthrough point again, so Hua Bubai dragged me and hit me hard. As expected, I escaped smoothly just like before.
Hua Bubai said that this was probably some kind of deception or illusion, or it could be a five-element spell that extended an aisle infinitely, or formed a circle that could not be exited. If someone didn't know how to do it, they would either run to death from exhaustion or be killed directly.
He was crushed to death by stones and could not even enter the main tomb chamber. He said that those who engage in tomb robbing business may not understand how the tomb chamber is constructed or how the mechanisms are formed, but they must know how to escape. This is what he has done every time he enters the tomb chamber.
In a tomb, even if no good things are found, the reasons will be carefully studied through the mechanisms in the tomb.
What Hua Bubai said is surprisingly consistent with what my grandfather once said. I think most tomb robbers think the same way, otherwise this tomb with many mechanisms would not have wiped out all the tomb robbers.
