The number of branches in the tunnel changed from three to five, which originally meant that it had become more complicated. Yan Xing also studied it carefully. At first, he heard the little Lolita say that there was an intruder, and he was a little unable to react at first.
Intruder Intruder...
Little Loli's words were swirling in his mind, and his eyes were still scanning the five tunnel entrances. After about half a minute, his thinking paused: "Little Loli, do you think there are others?"
When Le Yun said there was an intruder, she calmly turned on her hearing and smell, listened to the noise in the tunnel, and judged how far the other intruder had gone from the smell left in the air. After a while, she almost heard Handsome Yan's reply.
I want to say something to him, but his reflex arc is really long.
"Yeah."
"Are there really grave robbers?"
"How did you know it was a tomb robber?" How could handsome guy Yan decide that he was a tomb robber? What if he accidentally fell in like they did?
"If you're not a thief, why would you come to a tomb like this?"
"According to what you say, you are also a tomb robber?"
"I was just passing by." Yan Xing finally understood why the little Loli's tone was a bit harsh. It was because he and she were also in the underground tomb. He said that the people who came to the maze were all tomb robbers, which included them.
Le Yun stopped arguing with handsome guy Yan and was more serious with the Yan people. She was the only one who was angry. She listened around and heard no vibrations, which meant that the person had gone far away and there was no need to continue reconnaissance.
She didn't have much curiosity. Whether it was a tomb robber or someone who entered by mistake, there were only three possibilities for entering the Jiuqu Corridor: First, there were professionals who could find the route to the Shengmen Gate or the route to the center of the array. Then,
No matter what, she and they will meet eventually;
Secondly, if those people don’t have enough food and can’t find a way out, they can only be trapped in the middle of death; thirdly, uh, it refers to very unlucky people who make improper choices and accidentally enter the door of death. They step on the mechanism and are killed in minutes.
Kill them, or accidentally enter the center of the mechanism, trigger the mechanism to change the formation, and finally trap yourself in the enchanted corridor with no way out. The ending is still a dead end.
Therefore, Le Yun has no intention of looking for other intruders. If there is no danger, she will take the other intruders out when she retreats. If there is danger, of course she will grease her soles and run away.
Don't blame her for being cold-blooded. After all, saving people is out of humanitarian spirit, not legal obligation. From a moral perspective, there is a moral obligation to save people, but from a legal perspective, there is no obligation to save others.
What's more, she is the only daughter of the Le family, and she has a father and a new mother to support her. If something happens to her, her father will find it difficult to survive without his mental support.
The others no longer knew which corner they had gone to, so what were they waiting for? Le Yun no longer hesitated, held her head high, and headed straight for the first tunnel on the left.
The little Lolita was in a trance, taking the lead and vowing not to look back. Naturally, Yan Xing followed her lead without hesitation and followed her non-stop.
The two of them either go in tandem or go hand in hand, passing through the intricate and endless tunnels, appearing and missing each other, and enjoying it.
The tunnel, which has not seen the light of day for many years, is cool and empty. Occasionally, water seeps out in some places and stalactites are condensed. In some places, there are even tiny moss. In other places, a layer of white dust is condensed. If someone observes carefully,
, maybe you can find that there are actually murals carved on the stone wall.
However, due to countless years of vicissitudes, the carvings on the murals are light, and the pictures are hidden in the color of the stone wall, making it difficult to show the true face. The tunnel looks like it has been dug neatly.
In a tunnel, four backpackers were walking like ghosts, each carrying a large black backpack and wearing waterproof and moisture-proof black hiking clothes.
The four of them are all men, one of them is about fifty years old, relatively voluptuous, with a shy beer belly, holding a small mahogany sword in one hand, and a compass in the other. They lead the way, occasionally mumbling something, but there is no one there.
Listen clearly to what he is reciting.
The other three are all between thirty and forty years old. Two are neither fat nor thin. One has a Chinese-shaped face and is relatively fair, giving people the impression of an intellectual. The other is a dark-faced man, as if he has been in the sun all year round.
, is a healthy red and black color; the other is a thin man, the shortest among the four, which is what people say that concentration is the essence.
The four people's faces were slightly pale, their lips were scorched, a bit like they were dehydrated, their hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, there was a layer of grease, and their hairstyles were messy. Everyone had a blue shadow around their eyes, obviously due to lack of sleep.
There were also bloodshot eyes, which made him look even more tired.
The group of people did not walk fast. The old man with a beer belly had strong steps. The man with black face and the thin young man were short of breath and had weak steps. The man with white face felt more top-heavy and his steps were frivolous.
The headlights above the heads of two of the four people were on to illuminate the road. As they walked together in the empty tunnel, the sound of footsteps of different weights echoed, giving people a feeling of being alone in the apocalypse.
The long darkness has no edge, and five more tunnels appear in front of the tunnel.
The four of them walked slowly to the fork they needed to choose. The old man with a beer belly faced the tunnel in the middle, adjusted his compass, and analyzed the direction and angle. Soon, he chose the direction that represented good luck and walked into the second tunnel on the right.<
/p>
The three men behind followed closely and walked into another endless long road.
"Master Ao, can we... really make it out?" The long black color infects the surroundings and people's hearts, and the voice of the speaker is filled with despair.
They have been walking for five days, and every time they thought that the end of the tunnel would be the exit. However, the reality is always so cruel, the end of the tunnel is still a tunnel, endlessly.
Five days, not five hours. I have walked for five days and I don’t know how far I have gone, but I am still in the tunnel. You can imagine how much pressure everyone has in their hearts. It is so great that people are about to collapse and despair.
Are we really going to die trapped in this strange place for no apparent reason?
Everyone's emotions are on the verge of collapse, but the hope for life makes people hold on, telling themselves over and over again that they will go out, and they will definitely go out!
"Four eyes, we will definitely be able to get out."
"Four eyes, don't worry, we will definitely find Shengmen."
Before Master Ao could say anything, Monkey Spirit and Black Potou comforted Si Yan. Si Yan was the nickname of the fair-skinned man. He originally wore glasses, so he was jokingly called Si Yan.
Monkey King is the nickname of a short and thin man. He is short and lean, and is as flexible as a monkey. People in the industry call him Monkey King. A man with a black face is so named because he is born with a dark complexion that never turns white no matter how much he maintains it. He looks like the bottom of a blackened pot.
Said black pot head.
Master Ao is a person in the world, nicknamed Yi Gua Ling. He helps people tell fortunes, and when doing fortune telling, he only predicts one hexagram, never two hexagrams, etc.
The four of them are not old acquaintances. Four Eyes, Black Pot Head, and Monkey Spirit are old acquaintances and part of a team. Master Ao is an explorer who works alone. They met in an accident while exploring an ancient tomb and formed a temporary team.
Team.
Four people mistakenly stepped on a mechanism in an ancient tomb and fell into an underground river. They were washed to a shoal and then found a tunnel. They walked into the tunnel to look for a way out, and ended up trapped in it.
Now, five days have passed, and the tunnel is still endless. Because there is not enough food and water, Siyan's hope is being wiped out bit by bit, and the hope of survival becomes increasingly slim.
Although the monkey spirit and the black pot head no longer have much hope of getting out of the maze, they still try to calm themselves down and comfort their companions. They cannot be confused. If their minds are confused, the power of survival will disappear, and there is really no hope.<
/p>
"Brother, don't panic, we can get out." Master Ao also understood the mood of his companion, and walked forward without looking back, explaining as he went: "I made a calculation when I was washed here by the water.
Even if you go through a lot of hardships and have no dangers, once the opportunity comes, you will definitely have a bright future."
"Master, when will the time come? It will be evening soon." The black pot head held the dark face, feeling a little weak.
"The opportunity should come to Brother Monkey Spirit. Today, Brother Monkey Spirit will meet a noble person at the time of fortune. With the blessing and protection of the noble person, we will surely turn bad luck into good luck and have a bright future."
Four Eyes heard that monkey spirits are lucky to have noble people, and when they meet noble people, they can turn bad luck into good luck. The decadent spirit was lifted, and there was motivation in the heart. My feet felt lighter, and I no longer walked like lead.<
/p>
"Am I lucky to be a noble person?" Monkey Spirit was stunned. He is just an ordinary person who runs a small business to support his family. He has not made a lot of money or suffered a big loss this year. Generally speaking, he can afford to support his family. As for the so-called noble person, he has no
Encountered.
"You have." Master Ao smiled meaningfully: "A noble person does not necessarily mean someone who can bring you great wealth and great wealth, and the luck of a noble person does not mean that you will embark on the road to great wealth and great wealth from now on. Who can you borrow your luck from?
The thing that allows you to avoid disasters is your luck. The person who can keep you safe and sound, whether he is an official, a farmer, or a passerby, is your noble person."
"Oh." The monkey spirit understood that noble people are not judged by status, but by whether they can borrow someone's blessings to protect them at that time.
"Master Ao, it's already 4:23 pm." Shen Shi, that is, from 3 to 5 pm, to 4:23 pm, which is also the end of Shen Shi. There is only so much time to meet
Noble?
Besides, this is a tunnel that goes an unknown number of meters underground. Who would come here? If I meet a noble person, is it possible that that person will fall from the sky?
Heiguotou half-believes in numerology and the like. People like him have a very special nature of work. To put it bluntly, they are fighting upside down, and to put it more ugly, they are tomb robbers. They follow some old traditions of fighting upside down, but they don’t know how to do it.
Accept death.
It is inherently unethical to fight someone upside down. If you dig someone's grave, according to numerology, you will get retribution from the owner of the tomb. However, with so many people fighting upside down, how many of them will suffer retribution?
Not many people suffered retribution, but quite a few people got rich overnight. Even if some were caught, it was because they were greedy and did not know how to stop, so they were exposed. Those who made a lot of money died more miserably in the end, purely because of their greed.
Poor management of the family causes family members to fight over property, or it may be caused by one's own extravagant spending.
Therefore, Heiguotou sees clearly and does not look down upon the quacks and feng shui warlocks. He believes in them when they should and does not blindly believe in the charlatans and feng shui warlocks as if they were gods.
Master Ao heard the implication of Heiguotou's words and knew that he didn't believe his words very much and didn't explain much. He was very confident in his divination. The divination predicted that the monkey spirit would have good luck for a noble person that day, and the auspicious time should be at Shen Shi. Then, when the time comes,
The time will tell.
Master Ao stopped talking. Monkey Spirit and Black Pottou didn’t talk nonsense. They conserved their strength and followed Master Ao forward to the other end of the long tunnel.
Yan Shuaiguo and Le Xiaoxiao, who were both walking in the maze tunnel, passed through one fork in the road without any rush, and their speed was several times faster than Master Ao and his group.
Yan Xing followed the little Loli at a trot. When he found other intruders, the Little Loli said that he should speed up and rush to the center of the formation before evening to avoid accidents. As a military man, he had a lot of physical strength.
Yes, running thousands of miles with a heavy load is a piece of cake, so he carried a not-so-heavy backpack and trotted along effortlessly.
Not to mention Le Xiaoxiao, if she hadn’t taken care of Handsome Yan, she would have turned on running mode and run forward by herself.
After walking through another fork in the road, Le Yun's sensitive nose captured the smells that had been captured before. The smells scattered in the air rushed into her nose. Her brain rotated at high speed like the dehydration barrel of a washing machine, analyzing the details.
According to.
With just a snap of a finger, the information from the smell feedback to the brain analysis was finalized. There were four foreign intruders, all of whom were injured and had wounds on their bodies. Moreover, some of the wounds may not have been treated in time and had suppurated.
After collecting the information, Le Yun frowned and guessed based on the smell that the four were not too far away from them. If there was no accident, the two sides would meet on the road.
"Mr. Yan, other intruders have also entered this tunnel." In order not to scare Handsome Yan when he suddenly saw people, out of humanitarianism, classmate Le Xiao gave Handsome Yan a friendly reminder.
"Hey, you said the others are here too?" Yan Xing ran and ran with the little Lolita. He was surprised to hear the little Lolita mention the other people who ran into the maze again, wasn't it? Others are here too, is it possible that they will
Let’s meet face to face?
To be honest, he doesn't want to meet other people, whether they are enemies or friends. Enemies may have to fight, but fighting is not terrible. What he hesitates about is whether to use all his strength when fighting with others, or whether he has the courage to fight with others.
Reserved?
If he meets an ordinary person, he may have to go on the same journey. He doesn’t want to team up with others. It’s just him and Xiao Loli. They share food when they are hungry and drink water when they are thirsty. He is more than willing to give Xiao Luo’s food.
Li chooses, others are strangers, and he is not willing to contribute the small amount of dry food he brings to irrelevant people.
Generally speaking, knowing that he might meet other people, Young Master Yan was in a depressed mood. He couldn't let the little loli mind her own business. If he had the power to dictate the little loli's affairs, he would definitely tell him no matter what he encountered.
Ignore whoever you are, everyone walks on their own Yangguan Road and crosses their own single-plank bridge.
"Well, let's go, maybe we'll meet each other." Le Yun ran away calmly.
Young Master Yan had to keep up with the little Lolita's footsteps. The two of them jogged for a while, and sure enough they saw a bright light flickering in the darkness ahead.
Just when they saw a bright light looming, at the other end of the tunnel, Master Ao, who was leading the way, also saw a faint light in the distance, and was overjoyed: "Brother Monkey Spirit, your nobleman has appeared!"
