Chapter 35: Blood Words

The fat man smiled instead of getting angry, as if he had already prepared a way to deal with it, and said: "Of course not, Fatty, I want to enter this Heavenly Gate, and there is another very important reason. Do you know what it is ?" I said to him, "Who knows what you are up to? You can say it or not. Don't forget that we are still in trouble now. If you want to talk about those irrelevant things, it's better to forget them." The fat man said to me, "Don't worry, what I want to say is closely related to our current situation. Didn't you hear what this young man said just now? This corridor leading to the Heavenly Gate, It is an uphill slope, and the large room with the model of the Heavenly Palace is very high. It is at least ten meters high. Just think about how deep this ancient tomb is. I estimate that the top of the room should be the top of the entire ancient tomb. If we want to get out, we should use our brains from there !" When I heard this, my mind was brightened and I hurriedly estimated. When I first went down to the underwater tomb passage, I looked at the water pressure gauge. At that time, it was already thirteen meters underwater. The bottom of the pool where we are now is ten meters lower than this, which means that we should be between twenty and thirty meters underwater. In this way, the top of the room with the model of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace is less than ten meters from the bottom of the sea, which is exactly as the fat man said. I was just listening to the story and didn't notice these details. I couldn't help but look at Fatty with a new eye. This guy seemed reckless, but he was actually very clear-headed. It seemed that I couldn't hide anything from him in the future. Thinking of this, I said to them, "Fatty is right this time. But knowing these things now is useless . We are unarmed. Not to mention that we can't climb up to the top of the treasure that is ten meters high, even if we climb up, we don't have any weapons in our hands. There are several layers of bricks on the top. How can we get down to the ground? I think we still have to find a few decent metal funeral objects first, and implement the plan to counter-drill the tunnel as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we will miss the time of low tide." Although I said so, I was actually unsure, because all the way here. The funeral objects I saw were porcelain and stone tools, and there was not even a piece of metal. It was a bit unreasonable. I vaguely felt that it might be specially arranged by the owner of the tomb. Now I can only look for it in the back hall. If there is nothing there, it's really God's will. Fatty laughed when he heard what I said. He said, "I've thought about this. Aren't there gold-plated bronze mirrors with the word "Fu" on the four sides of the big room ? You are also an antique dealer, so you should know what this mirror looks like , right? Let's take down the legs of the mirror. It's very heavy and can definitely be used as a hammer." I felt very familiar with the name when I heard it just now. When he mentioned it, I remembered that I had indeed handled this kind of thing before, but I couldn't remember what it looked like exactly, seeing that the fat man was very confident.

 

It didn't seem like nonsense, so I felt relieved and said to him, "Okay, let's make it like this. There's no time to waste, so we'll act right away. But when we get there, don't touch anything.

 

"Oh no, this place is full of traps. We still have a long time to live. We can't die here just for a few dead people's things !" Fatty nodded after hearing this. He said that he would never touch anything except bricks. I was afraid that he was still thinking about those night pearls, so I emphasized it several times and only said it to annoy him. I asked them about the specific structure of the place again, and told them one by one about the possible situations and necessary measures to be taken. Then the three of us acted according to the plan. We found the Heaven Gate first, and then Fatty took the lead, followed by Menyouping, and I was in the middle, and walked straight into the narrow Heaven Road. I had heard about the scenes in the Heaven Road from Menyouping's narration, but it was a different feeling to go in by myself. At first, I didn't feel anything. I just felt like walking in Shipi Lane in Xitang, Jiaxing at night . It was just a little narrow, but after walking for a while, there was no edge in front and behind, and I started to panic. I walked in the middle, I was not afraid of the darkness, but it was too quiet around. We all wore flippers, and the footsteps were crackling, which sounded very strange in the narrow corridor, as if there was a monster following behind. Fatty was a big-headed man, and he didn't feel anything about these, but this road was too narrow, and he felt very uncomfortable walking, and he kept complaining: "I don't know who built this stone road, it's obvious that we fat people are discriminated against. How can this road leading to the gate of heaven be so shabby? If the tunnels in heaven and earth were like this, Maitreya Buddha would not have to go out ." I said to him: "You can't say that, he must have his reasons for designing it this way. This is a ship burial, and no matter how big the ship is, there is a limit. I guess in order to highlight his heavenly palace, he had to save space as much as possible in other places. And the tomb robbers have always been short and thin, who would have thought that fat people could do this business. "The fat man was quite proud of what he heard, and said, "That's right. When it comes to the tomb-robbing school, throughout history, regardless of other things, your physique is the best. But even though I'm fat, it doesn't affect my skills at all, right? This is called - Ouch !"

 

As the fat man was talking, he suddenly stood still and couldn't move. I looked and found that his two shoulders were against the stone walls on both sides and he was stuck in the walkway. He laughed and said, "I told you to brag, but you hit yourself in the face." The fat man moved forward, but couldn't get through. Wondering, "Xiao Wu, don't laugh first. Something's wrong. I was walking smoothly just now, how come I'm stuck?" I looked around and said, "It seems that this stone path is not of the same length and width. Maybe the section just after you come in is a little wider, and now it's gradually getting narrower. You step back a few steps and see if you can get out." The fat man twisted his butt and moved back a few steps, but he was still the same. He said, "No, no, that's not the reason. This path It is obviously narrower than before. I think there is something wrong with this wall. Xiao Wu, I think this may be bad. "I just walked forward with my head covered and didn't pay attention to these walls. After hearing what he said, I also felt that it seemed to have become a little narrower, so I supported a wall with my left and right hands. Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me, and I exclaimed: "Oh no, these two walls seem to be closing together !" Men Youping also touched it, nodded, and said: "It seems that something has changed. There is no time. Let's retreat and make plans!" When I heard this, I thought to myself that this was not a joke. If I was pressed by these two wall panels, I would probably be turned into three pancakes. So I turned around and ran. The fat man saw that we were running so fast. He turned sideways and shouted anxiously: "Wait for me, wait for me, don't just take care of yourself." I have never run so fast. I almost rolled and crawled, using up all my strength. When I ran to the exit, the two walls had obviously closed together again. Even I had to turn sideways to pass through. Fatty was even worse. He could only walk sideways like a crab. Menyouping reached out to open the secret door and tried it twice. Suddenly he cursed, turned around and said to me, "Someone stuck the door hinge outside !" When Fatty heard this, his face turned green and he cursed, "This damn Tianmen, it's over now, you guys think of a way, otherwise we will be back today!" I was so angry that I watched the stone wall pressing down on me little by little. It was really worse than death, but what could I do for the time being. In this situation, unless there is a miracle, there is nothing a Daluo immortal can do. He said, "What can we do? Run forward. If you run fast, you may still have a chance of survival!"

 

Menyouping grabbed me and shook his head, saying, "It will take at least ten minutes to get there. It's too late. Let's look up !" He then pushed his feet against the walls on both sides and climbed up. I looked up and saw that it was still pitch black, and there was no sign of the ground getting wider. I didn't know what the point of climbing up was, but at this point, it was better than waiting to die here, so I thought about asking Fatty to climb with me. The corridor became narrower, and climbing up was as convenient as walking. We went all the way up and climbed more than ten meters in just a few minutes. The fat man couldn't help but exclaimed, "This guy is really quick-witted. Now we can jump off the building and commit suicide before we are crushed into a meat pie! To avoid the physical pain." I couldn't tell whether the fat man was sincere or not, but I felt sick at the thought of being crushed into a meat pie. This is not a quick way to die. You might even hear the sound of your skull being crushed. I would rather fall to death than be crushed to death. At this time, Menyouping shouted from above, "Don't let your imagination run wild. We still have time. Do you remember the hole under the coffin ?" The fat man said, "Of course I remember, but what does it have to do with us? "Relationship?" As soon as I said this, he said, "I understand. You mean, we should learn from his spirit and never give up until the last moment, right?" Menyouping said, "No, there is no tomb robber in this world who would leave the underground palace and drill holes in the walls of the underground palace. If so, there is only one reason, he encountered some difficulties and had to drill a hole in the wall of the underground palace to escape." I understood it as soon as I heard it, and my heart moved, and I said, "You mean the person who dug this hole, like us, was forced to dig this thief hole in this situation ?" I had to admire Menyouping's quick thinking, and I also knew why he climbed up. The floor and the two walls were made of Qinggang stone. Unless there was a de- tona -tor, there was no way to make a hole. The only possible place to start was the invisible ceiling. As we were talking, we had climbed to the top. There was a layer of blue bricks above. I knocked it and was overjoyed. We guessed it was right. It was hollow. This kind of brick can be pressed but not chiseled. With the right tools, it should be very convenient to drill a hole. But I looked around and saw nothing but darkness, no trace of the robber's hole. Fatty said, "It's bad, little brother. This stone path is so long. What if he made the entrance at the other end of the aisle ?" Menyouping said, "Anyone who encounters this situation will definitely run to the exit first, and then find that the exit door is stuck, and then they will resort to the last resort of counter-drilling the robber's hole. So the robber's hole must be near here. If he made it on the other side, we will have no choice but to accept it."

 

This was very convincing. Fatty and I nodded, cheered up and started to search the side. At this time, the situation of me and Menyouping was not bad. We could still put a fist in front and behind us when we turned sideways. Fatty was almost at his limit. He had to shrink his stomach to move in this gap. I could see that this put a lot of pressure on him. I comforted him and said that the compression ratio of fat was still very large. As long as the wall didn't hit your bones, it wouldn't be a problem. He turned pale and waved his hand to tell me not to talk nonsense. We started from the outside and climbed more than ten meters inside, but we didn't find anything. In fact, climbing sideways is more physically demanding than climbing high. My feet have begun to weaken and I almost slipped down several times. I knew that if the two walls were a little closer, my knees would not be able to bend, and it would be more difficult to move. It was pitch black in front of me. I didn't know where the thief's hole was. If it was really like Menyouping said, if it was at the other end of the corridor, then I really didn't know how to face this kind of death. If I had known this earlier, I might have been more comfortable being bitten to death by sea monkeys. Many people say how scary the zongzi ghost is. Now I would rather encounter a dozen zongzi than be crushed to death here with no way out. At this time, the oil bottle in front of us suddenly shone a flashlight on me and signaled us to go over. Fatty and I thought we had finally found him. We were overjoyed and rushed to his side. When we looked up, we were stunned to see a line of bloody words written on the blue brick above our heads: "Wu Sanxing harmed me, and I had nowhere to go. I died unjustly. Heaven and earth are my witnesses - Jie Lianhuan." I was terrified and thought this was not a martial arts novel. I asked, " What does this mean? Who is this person? Why do you say that Uncle San harmed him?" Oil bottle said, "This Jie Lianhuan is also a member of the archaeological team. He is the one who died in the coral reef with the snake-browed bronze fish in his hand." I screamed and my mind was in a mess again. Oil bottle pushed me and said, "Since he left a word here and Han was not trapped here, it means that the robber's hole must be nearby. We don't have time to think about what he meant. Let's move forward quickly." I climbed a few steps with him and suddenly remembered, Jie Lianhuan, why is this name so familiar? I seem to have heard my grandfather mention it.
