Hundreds of corpses are buried, and hundreds of ghosts welcome the bride.
The scene is really spectacular, I wonder what will happen when the two meet...
However, the two of them had no such intention at this moment. Instead, they quickly pushed open the closed stone door and got in.
Bang!
The stone door was slammed shut, and everything outside the corridor seemed to be cut off from it.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile happily.
"It's really exciting..." Ren Xiaofan smiled bitterly, and then looked around.
There is a lot of space here, at least as much as two football fields.
The majestic imperial city stands tall in front, with city walls, pavilions, and an underground moat surrounding it. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ren Xiaofan would never have imagined that there was such an existence underground...
"Junior brother?"
As he was looking ahead, a voice suddenly sounded from the moss-covered city wall in front of him. Then a familiar face appeared on it.
"Senior Brother Li?" Ren Xiaofan opened his mouth in surprise. Isn't this Li Xiaofei whom he hasn't seen for a long time since he passed through Huanghua Village?
"Oh my god, it's really Junior Brother Xiaofan!" Li Xiaofei was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhengqing, Lin Chengren and Qiao Xiaoyue also appeared on the city wall.
"Fellow Taoist Ren."
"Brother Ren!"
Ten minutes later....
"This is what happened, so we don't dare to go out at all now..." Li Xiaofei explained to Ren Xiaofan while stuffing bread into his mouth.
The Tao Qi in the Dantian here cannot be used, and the little fat man has been hungry for four or five days.
"So counting you, there are only nine people in the city now?" Ren Xiaofan asked thoughtfully.
There are 26 people, and there are still 9 left. To be honest, considering the lineup of hundreds of corpses and ghosts just now, it is already good news.
"Yes, when those zombies appeared, we happened to be very close to this stone gate, otherwise we would have died tragically." Li Zhengqing sighed.
Even though he has been traveling all over the country for so many years, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. If he had not been lucky, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Although Lin Chengren and his wife did not speak, their faces showed lingering fears.
Although these people are monks, the Tao Qi in their Dantian cannot be used, so they need food to replenish their energy. Otherwise, when the Tao Qi in the meridians is exhausted, Ren Xiaofan will appear like he was unable to move before.
Fortunately, Ren Xiaofan and Shangguan Shanyue bought a lot of food before coming back, which will come in handy at this time.
In addition to the four of them, the remaining five people include three archaeologists, a young couple scholars and an old professor, while the remaining two are middle-aged warriors.
At this time, they were on an attic in the city wall. The food they brought had been eaten just a day ago. If Ren Xiaofan and Shangguan Shanyue had not arrived in time, they would have faced the crisis of starving to death...
"Hey, it's our fault for causing trouble to everyone..."
The old professor's name is Gu Chunfeng, and he is the first person in charge of the Qingbei Museum in the imperial capital. I never expected that an excavation and rescue work would be so dangerous.
"Professor Gu, don't say that. This kind of thing is beyond your control. If you want to blame it, just blame the hateful tomb robber." Shangguan Shanyue said to comfort him.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
She originally studied archeology and was quite familiar with Professor Gu Chunfeng. The old man was highly respected and took great care of his younger generation, and he had a well-known name in the archaeological community.
"Having said that, if my guess is right, there should be a lot of people sent behind, right?" Gu Chunfeng sighed, then looked at Shangguan Shanyue and Ren Xiaofan: "I wonder if you can contact the outside world and warn them.
Don't send any more people down..."
Although there is only one stone door between them, they can still hear the guns, ammunition and screams coming from the corridor outside in the past few days.
"We can't contact the outside world either." Ren Xiaofan shook his head. In this place, let alone the cell phone signal, even the walkie-talkie has lost its function.
The excavation of ancient tombs is not casual, most of them are rescue excavations.
This means that it was first destroyed by tomb robbers, and then the official work was carried out to protect the integrity of the tomb.
Therefore, it was not Gu Chunfeng's original intention to come to the tomb this time, but most likely out of helplessness.
The Imperial City is not that big, but for this place, it is quite big. After distributing the food in the Qiankun Bag to them, Ren Xiaofan climbed down the city wall alone and went into the city to look for clues to get out.
There can't be only one exit for such a big tomb, right? Otherwise, it will be suffocating even if you hold it in, and there will be no air flow...
As for Shangguan Shanyue, she put on oxygen equipment and sneaked into the underground moat to see if there were any clues by taking the water route.
The construction specifications in the city are somewhat similar to those of the ancient Central Plains, and are completely different from the architectural styles of the Western Regions in TV series.
Could it be that... the owner of this tomb is still a Han? And if it is really a Han, how could it be built here? You know, Ren Xiaofan and Shangguan Shanyue came by desert SUV and helicopter...
The further he walked into the city, the more suspicious Ren Xiaofan became. Because he discovered that there were traces of living people here. It was not recent, but the kind of ruins where people had lived...
This makes people feel incredible. Could it be that some relative of the emperor came here to live in seclusion with his subordinates in order to avoid the emperor's pursuit?
I have to say, this idea is really possible...
Due to the restriction, Ren Xiaofan could not use the Cunfang Technique and other movement techniques, so he could only walk slowly step by step in the city.
"Junior Brother Xiaofan."
Behind him, Li Xiaofei's voice suddenly came. Ren Xiaofan turned to look at him, "Are you full?"
The little fat man has lost weight due to hunger in the past few days, and his whole face has lost weight.
"I'm full..."
Without the blessing of Tao Qi, Li Xiaofei's physical strength dropped significantly. The distance from the city wall to here was only a hundred meters, and he was panting from exhaustion.
"When you're full, go and rest to save your energy." Ren Xiaofan shook his head and threw him a pill to restore his injuries and physical strength.
Li Xiaofei was not polite to him, and stuffed it into his Qiankun bag after taking it.
He said: "We have searched here before. Except for the main palace of the Imperial City, we have not found any clues to get out."
"Oh? Then why don't you enter the main hall of the imperial city?" Ren Xiaofan asked doubtfully.
Li Xiaofei shook his head, "Junior Brother Xiaofan, it's not that we don't want to go in, but Brother said that there are probably the same zombies hidden there as outside. Otherwise, you said that people living in this city will go there after they die.
Where is it? It can’t be the ones outside, right? Otherwise they wouldn’t have come in long ago.”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The purpose of him chasing Ren Xiaofan was to tell Ren Xiaofan not to get close to the main palace of the Imperial City, otherwise if there were zombies, wouldn't the game be over?
Ren Xiaofan thought about it and felt that what he said was true, so he looked at the somewhat dilapidated main palace of the imperial city, he hesitated and said: "Then let's wait for now, wait until Shan Yue comes...
"
Since Professor Gu, a professional, said there were no clues to get out, we could only wait for Shangguan Shanyue to see if taking the water route was feasible.
This underground moat looks calm on the surface, but after going down, you will find that there is a lot of rapid water below. If you are not careful, you may be sucked into it and unable to extricate yourself.
Therefore, Shangguan Shanyue just searched around the surrounding area and did not dare to dive further.
"Oh, then we just have to wait for death?" Ren Xiaofan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Unable to use Tao Qi, he can't even hide himself now. Even if he wants to open the stone door and escape without telling the zombies and ghosts, it's impossible.
"Oh, I can only hope that a Taoist master will come forward, otherwise I will really be waiting to die..." Li Zhengqing sighed again.
This was the first time he sighed.
After joining the monastic world for so many years, the old man encountered a situation where he could only sit and wait for death for the first time.
But it's not all bad news. Although Shangguan Shanyue didn't find any underwater passage, she found a lot of fish in the river, which at least ensured that she wouldn't starve to death.
It was not Ren Xiaofan's character to wait for others to rescue him. After staying away from the main palace wall of the Imperial City for a long time, he wandered around the stone wall in this space to see if there was only one stone gate.
However, after spending a whole day, he discovered that there was really only one stone door.
Do we really have to leave our hope of survival to God?
Ren Xiaofan glanced at the main palace of the Imperial City with a tangled look on his face.
Shangguan Shanyue kept watching him from the corner of her eye, knowing in her heart what he was thinking.
Another five days passed, and this time even the food that Ren Xiaofan and Shangguan Shanyue brought had been eaten. If they didn't want to starve, they had no choice but to go fishing.
"We can't wait any longer. The upper level of Dao Sect is dealing with the matter of Yin Gui Sect. Who will care about us? We must save ourselves."
Ren Xiaofan reached out to stop Shangguan Shanyue who was about to enter the water, and Ren Xiaofan said in a deep voice.
No one has come for so long. I guess this time will be like last time in Huanghua Village, waiting for nothing.
"Little brother, what do you think we should do to save ourselves?" Gu Chunfeng asked.
Ren Xiaofan looked at him and said, "Professor Gu, I'll go inside to investigate first. If there are no zombies inside, then I'll ask you to follow me in to look for clues. How about that?"
"This..." Gu Chunfeng hesitated. In fact, he had the same guess as Li Zhengqing. They both felt that there were zombies in the main hall of the imperial city. Otherwise, it was just Li Zhengqing's idea alone. Duan Ran couldn't stop him and would have gone in to investigate long ago.
.
"If Professor Gu doesn't say anything, then I'll take it as your acquiescence."
Ren Xiaofan didn't give him time to think about it. After saying this, he jumped off the city wall and ran towards the main hall of the imperial city. No matter how he and Li Zhengqing yelled from behind, they didn't stop.
In fact, it's not that Ren Xiaofan likes to seek death, but that he really can't stand the feeling of leaving his fate in the hands of others.
You have to work hard on your own in everything. Even if you really can't save yourself in the end, you won't have any regrets.
