Tomb Raiders

Everyone groped in the tomb for a long time, but found nothing.

In fact, if we talk about the exit of the tomb, besides returning to the original way, there must be another exit. Since the water in the main tomb is running water, it must have been brought in from the outside. Maybe I can go out, but I don’t know how to find the source of the water for a while, and there may be something dangerous underwater, and I will fall into it if I can’t hold my breath. Unless it is a last resort, I will not go this way.

A large part of the cave was covered by darkness. Shen Liaobai and Chu Yuyang carried the bonfire and walked deep along the canal. They never thought that there was a narrow passageway that could only pass through the sarcophagus right behind the sarcophagus. corridor.

Chu Yuyang and Shen Liaobai walked side by side, staring at the dark place ahead, this is an ordinary corridor, the stones on the stone wall are still pointed, and there are some broken stones scattered on the ground on both sides, there is no artificial modification trace.

"Do you feel that something is wrong with Song Qiancheng?" Shen Liaobai asked while twisting his cuffs.

Song Qiancheng has been reticent since he entered the main tomb, which is not in line with his usual personality. It stands to reason that he should be the happiest person to get the Taiping Jing. Uncertain, it seems that he doesn't care about this matter, which is confusing.

"Song Qiancheng is a person who speaks both truth and falsehood. He seems to act rashly, but he is actually very careful. Every time he encounters a problem, he makes a mistake. It must not be a coincidence." In addition to the Taiping Jing, there is something else he wants."

"But he clearly knows that the rest of the things have been taken away by another group of people, but he still doesn't seem to give up. This thing should be very important to him." Shen Liaobai paused, sighed, and said : "If he wants anything, he can take it. Anyway, we don't need it. Just give him fame and fortune."

Chu Yuyang stood with his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly to look at him, and said, "How do you know that I don't need it?"

Shen Liaobai was stunned for a moment.

Chu Yuyang showed a rare smile, and patted Shen Liaobai's cheek lightly, as if it was a long-standing habitual action, "Go on."

Being tricked... Shen Liaobai smiled angrily, but heard Chu Yuyang say again: "I heard Song Qiancheng mention King Ding several times, but he didn't mean to respect him. I think he is probably just using King Ding as a cover. , In fact, this thing is only what he personally wants. What purpose he has has nothing to do with me, as long as it does not hinder me, I will let him go. "

This corridor is not long, and it will soon go to the end. The deepest part is a hard and seamless stone wall. Shen Liaobai tapped on it with his fingers, and the echo was dull. It is indeed a solid stone.So what is this corridor for?If it was left by the craftsmen who built the tomb, it would be too conspicuous and the scale would be too large.Maybe it's just a natural formation, and the builders didn't bother to plug it up and put it here?

It seems unlikely. Judging from the experience from the entrance to the present, every design of this tomb is purposeful. It is impossible to destroy the overall layout of the tomb by leaving a passage for nothing.

Shen Liaobai wanted to ask Chu Yuyang's opinion, but saw that Chu Yuyang was looking at him with narrowed amber eyes, and then slowly approached, his face blushed, and he was about to back away.

"Don't move." Chu Yuyang stretched out his hands to hold Shen Liaobai as he said.

The previous few times he was in deep tension, maybe it didn't feel so obvious, but now there is no crisis, and the two of them are alone again, the surroundings are dark, only the bonfire is shining.Chu Yuyang's warm breath sprayed on the neck, and Shen Liaobai could feel the warm blood rushing straight to his cheeks and then flowing to the base of his ears.

But Chu Yuyang said he couldn't move, so he stood still, even having difficulty breathing, "What, what's wrong?"

"Your hair is moving." Chu Yuyang suddenly said a nonsense.

Because of the dangers along the way, the bun has long been scattered, and a few strands of temple hair hang down on the cheeks.Shen Liaobai turned his eyes with difficulty, looking at his slightly fluttering strands of temple hair.

Chu Yuyang straightened up, ignored Shen Liaobai, and leaned against the wall as if looking for something.

It's the wind.Shen Liaobai suddenly realized that this was originally a sealed tomb, where the wind came from, it must be a place connected to the outside world.

Chu Yuyang searched to no avail, so he stopped and looked above his head.The top of the tomb is so high that you can't see the end even if you hold the bonfire.He bit the fiery gauze bag, tested the firmness of the stone wall beside him, and then climbed up on the uneven stones.

Shen Liaobai watched Chu Yuyang climb up a very high distance from below, leaving only a rough outline, "Chu Yuyang, be careful."

The gravel fell rustlingly, Chu Yuyang climbed down, Shen Liaobai stepped back a few steps to make room for him to get down.

"There is an exit above," Chu Yuyang said with a frown, "It's just blocked by a big rock. There is no point of strength on it. I'm afraid three or four people won't be able to push it away. Go and meet Hanzhang first. He has something there." It can be opened."

When the two returned to the tomb, Hanzhang actually climbed onto the top of the sarcophagus, squatting there looking at something, when he saw Chu Yuyang coming back, he jumped down from the sarcophagus lightly.

"What did you find?" Chu Qianyang asked.

Hanzhang patted the dust off his clothes, and said, "Dalang, I just heard Mrs. Shen's description was not very clear. I went up to have a look, and there was a big hole in it, which seemed to be split open by life. I walked through the hole. Looking down, the coffin boards are all broken."

The coffin is made of locust wood, which is extremely hard. Even after hundreds of years, it will not rot. It may not be broken immediately with an axe, not to mention how powerful it is to be split by life .

"Zhang Jiao's dead body." Song Qiancheng said sinisterly, he was standing behind a huge stalagmite, only half of his face was exposed, and his face was a bit ghastly reflected by the miserable green fire.

"If his body is dead," Chu Yuyang actually followed his words, "then where is he now?"

It was impossible for him to follow the waterway they came in, the waterway was too narrow, and as a mindless corpse, it was absolutely impossible for him to swim out of the waterway.And this tomb is particularly empty, except for some stalagmites that can only block half of the body, there is nothing else.

Song Qiancheng smiled softly, "If you want to live, you better hurry up and find a way out."

Hanzhang naturally couldn't understand Song Qiancheng's face, and was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Chu Yuyang, who could only give him a hard look.

"Hanzhang, give me the saltpeter." Chu Qianyang said.

Hanzhang obediently took out a large package of kraft paper-wrapped things from his waist pocket, and spread them on the ground. He rubbed a little on his fingertips and said, "It's not soaked in water, so it can be used."

Chu Yuyang nodded, picked up the bag of things, walked into the tunnel just now, thought for a while, and then said to Shen Liaobai who was following behind: "You stay here, Wenhao, take care of him."

Seeing Shen Liaobai standing near the corridor worriedly looking around, Wenhao stepped forward and pulled him back behind the sarcophagus, saying: "Master, don't worry, Dalang has his own measure."

Shen Liaobai looked at the black powder on the ground, which fell from the bag of kraft paper just now. He rubbed it with his toes, and the powder was mixed with the soil, "What is that?"

Wen Hao glanced cautiously at Song Qiancheng, who was alone behind the stalagmite, and replied: "The powder made of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal was originally used by Taoist priests in alchemy, but Hanzhang accidentally discovered that this thing caught fire. It has a lot of power, if the weight is enough, it will not be a problem to blow up this sarcophagus."

"So powerful?" Shen Liaobai became interested in this thing.

Wen Hao stood by Shen Liaobai's side, blocking Song Qiancheng's occasional gaze and said, "It's powerful, but it's also very dangerous, that's why Da Lang won't let you follow, he can guarantee that he will run out safely, but Your safety cannot be guaranteed."

"I understand." Shen Liaobai said.

As long as he was around, Chu Yuyang would be tied up. Somehow, Shen Liaobai felt a sense of frustration. He leaned on the sarcophagus boredly, and a drop of water fell from the top of the tomb, which happened to fall on the black powder. In the imprint, a small burst of sparks appeared from the crushed powder, which startled Shen Liaobai.

When the flames were burnt out, he squatted beside the scorched mark, quite surprised, "Hey, this thing is really powerful."

Wen Hao hurriedly pulled Shen Liaobai up, and said, "No, powder will burn only when it meets fire."

Hearing what he said, Shen Liaobai raised his head subconsciously, two red spots of light flashed past and disappeared quickly, he thought he was dazzled, but when he turned his head, he met Shang Wenhao's affirmative eyes.

"What?" Shen Liaobai asked a little nervously.

If it's something unclean, he should have a feeling, and because he doesn't feel it, he relaxes his vigilance.

"Hanzhang," Wen Hao shouted to Hanzhang at the other end, "we have to get out of here quickly."

Xu Shi realized that something was wrong with Wenhao, so Hanzhang turned around and walked towards this side.

Then something unexpected happened, a thing twice the size of a normal person jumped down from the top of the tomb, bit Hanzhang's shoulder, lifted him up, and then shook his head, throwing him off There was a muffled sound towards the sarcophagus, and he quickly climbed up the stalagmites and jumped to the dark place above the tomb to hide.

It was almost just a blink of an eye, Shen Liaobai watched it happen in a daze, but he didn't have time to stop it at all.

"Hanzhang!!" Wen Hao's voice choked in his throat was finally piercingly yelled out.

The author has something to say: =-= This is the end of the story, well, it’s almost over, I really don’t want to say goodbye to everyone...
