Chapter 56 Underground
This chill is not because of the ominous feeling in my heart, but because I actually feel that the temperature in this well is much lower than outside, and it feels colder the further down I go. I can't help but start to shiver, and it's on top of my head.
Zhang Zuosheng was also so cold that he couldn't help complaining: "***This is just Fengmen Village, not the bottom of the Heartless Valley. How did it get so cold!"
Complaints are complaints. Now that I have reached this point, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue. Every time I slide down one more meter, the chill on my body becomes deeper. Gradually, I actually hear the sound of running water. It turns out that I thought this place is no good.
It's a well, and the water is just some underground water, but the sound is actually an underground river?
I lowered my head and looked down with the searchlight in my hat. Sure enough, I saw an underground river, but it wasn't big. I landed on the ground as fast as I could, looked around, and saw the space inside.
It's huge, and it's all rocks, but it doesn't look like there's any trace of man-made stuff. It should be natural. So many people have been to Fengmen Village before, but no one has ever discovered such an underground river. Now that I'm in it, I can't help but feel a little nervous.
.
At this time, there was a sound behind him, and Zhang Zuo also fell to the ground. He stood next to me, staring blankly at the space we were in with his mouth wide open. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, "Where should we find him?"
Only then did I wake up from the shock. There was an underground river in front of me. He Xiaoqiang could either go down the river or go against the current. These were the only two options. I just didn’t know which direction he chose, but from
Judging from his previous actions of carving words on the stone and sending the stone up to us, he should have left some marks here. I motioned to Zhang Wei to look for it.
The two of them searched separately, one on the left and the other on the right. I was looking in the upstream direction, and Zhang Zuo chose the downstream direction. Because the underground space was relatively large, it was not that easy to find. I was a little frustrated and started to wonder if it was possible.
When I thought wrong, Zhang Zuo suddenly shouted: "Here it is!"
I was so happy that I strode over there. Suddenly, I stepped on a few small gravels and almost fell down. Fortunately, I reached out in time to hold on to the stone wall on the side, which allowed me to maintain my balance.
, but at the moment when I turned my head, I suddenly found that there seemed to be something strange on the stone wall I was holding on to. I hurriedly looked closer and found that there was an area there that had obviously been hit with stones, and there were still a lot of stones left on the ground.
Debris, I just accidentally stepped on it.
The color of the damaged areas on the stone wall is obviously different from that of the surrounding areas. Obviously, the time that the stone wall was damaged should not be long, or even very short. Otherwise, in this extremely cold and humid place, it would only take less than an hour for these items to be destroyed.
The place where it has passed will start to become moist, but now I touch it with my fingers and find that most of the place is still quite dry. In other words, the person who smashed this stone wall must be He Xiao who just left here not long ago.
Qiangqiang, maybe it’s because this place is too far from the wellhead, or maybe it’s because He Xiaoqiang used other methods unknown to us, so neither of us heard any sound from up there.
What exactly is on this stone wall? Why did He Xiaoqiang destroy it? Questions suddenly arose in my mind, and my wariness towards He Xiaoqiang, which had gradually faded, rose again.
This piece of stone wall has been completely destroyed, but I refused to give up. I searched everywhere with searchlights, hoping to find something else. After searching for a while, I finally found myself about three meters away from the damaged stone wall.
There, new discoveries were made.
At this moment, Zhang Zuosheng's voice came over again: "Hey, why haven't you come over yet? Did you find anything?" As he was talking, I saw the lights over there flickering, and he was already walking towards me.
I hurriedly walked forward and said, "It's okay. I accidentally stepped on gravel just now and almost fell. My foot was a little crooked, so I rested for a while. Now I'm okay. I can go." As I said that, I deliberately raised my foot.
He got up and stomped lightly on the ground, indicating that nothing was really wrong with him.
Zhang Zuo's face was full of doubts. He looked at me, then raised his head and looked around. I was very worried. The stone wall destroyed by He Xiaoqiang was right behind me. I wasn't worried that Zhang Zuo could find it, but on top of it
But he can't let him see that thing. Zhang Zuo has too many secrets in his body. I will never know what his trump card is, let alone whether he will suddenly come to me behind my back like Yang Zijiang.
Just like this.
So I hurriedly said: "What did you find over there?"
Zhang Zuo was interrupted by me and stopped looking at the stone wall. He said, "I saw the words left by He Xiaoqiang, saying that he went in that direction, but..." Zhang Zuo's expression seemed a little hesitant.
, I asked hurriedly: "But what?"
Zhang Zuodi said: "He seemed to know that we would definitely come down, so after giving the direction, he added a sentence at the end, telling us to be careful."
What does He Xiaoqiang want us to be careful about? You must know that the doll has already moved forward, and He Xiaoqiang has been following her. We should have little chance of meeting her directly again. Even if she does come back with a counterattack, we should be able to do so.
As for He Xiaoqiang, there is no need for him to say things like be careful to us, unless he knows that besides the doll, there are other dangerous things here, but he didn't stay here for long. This dangerous thing
What will it be?
Zhang Zuosheng also frowned and couldn't figure it out, but my heart moved: Could it be that this dangerous thing is related to the damaged stone wall? But then he shook his head. If that is the case, everything has been destroyed.
, there is no need to remind us anything.
Since I couldn't figure it out, I just didn't think about him. I said hello to Zhang Zuo and walked in the direction of the underground river. After walking for a while, I saw a few words scrawled on a stone wall: "I am here."
"Be careful ahead", and then there is a big arrow, the writing is extremely illegible, and the carvings on the stone wall are also very shallow. If you don't search for it deliberately, you really can't find it at once. It seems that He Xiaoqiang must have been at that time.
Very urgent.
Thinking that he could leave us a message and remind us to be careful in such an urgent situation, I suddenly felt that I couldn't see through He Xiaoqiang at all. I didn't know whether he was good or evil to me, but I didn't have time to think about it at this time.
Zhang Zuosheng was already in front urging me to catch up with him.
I hurriedly quickened my pace to catch up with Zhang Zui, and the two of them walked down the underground river. Zhang Zui was in front and I was behind. After walking a few steps, I turned around and looked at the damaged stone wall.
Moving to the top, even though it was pitch black now that it was far away, I knew that in that darkness, there was a picture of a person, and that person looked like me.
I don’t know why a portrait of me suddenly appeared in this place, but what is certain is that the picture engraved on it has been around for many years, and some moss has even begun to grow on it, just because this picture was engraved on it.
It's very deep, and strictly speaking it can almost be regarded as a sculpture, so I can still recognize it the moment I find it. Who left such an old sculpture here? And it looks pretty good.
It happens to be what I look like now? Since I can find this statue, He Xiaoqiang must also be able to see it with his shrewdness. As I walked, a sudden thought occurred in my heart: Could it be that He Xiaoqiang's words "be careful"
Actually, he wasn't talking to us, but to Zhang Zuo? What he said about being careful, actually meant being careful about me. The things carved on that destroyed stone wall are related to me?
My heart was completely confused. If all the speculations are true, then the reason why He Xiaoqiang did this is easy to explain. He did everything for the sake of the overall situation. Maybe in his heart, he still didn't want to believe that the deaths of those people were related to me.
, but if Zhang Zui sees those things, there is no telling what he will think and do. And He Xiaoqiang has not completely given up on me, so he doesn’t want anything to happen to me, but he is not absolutely relieved.
That's why I expressed it in such a vague way. Now it seems that although I still don't know what is on the destroyed stone wall, I think it must be related to me.
Thinking of this, my good impression of He Xiaoqiang and Ma Shan recovered a lot. At this moment, Zhang Zuo suddenly shouted: "Look at what we should do next?"
Because I had been following Zhang Zuo and was thinking about my own problems along the way, I did not pay attention to the environment along the way. When I heard Zhang Zuo’s voice, I felt very strange and said: "
Isn’t there a mark?”
Zhang Zuodi said: "Come and take a look."
I took a step forward and saw that there was a fork in the road in front of me. One was still going straight forward, and the other was going to the left. What's more terrible was that there were arrows drawn on each of the forks. No wonder Zhang Zuo didn't know what was coming next.
Where should it go.
I was immediately in a dilemma, not knowing which way to choose. I looked at Zhang Zuo, wanting to hear his opinion, but found that his face was pale.
I asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Zuo's voice was trembling: "Tell me, is it possible that the person who left these words and guide signs is He Xiaoqiang's clone?"
I was startled and said: "Don't talk nonsense!" This underground world is mysterious and mysterious. Who knows what will happen. It is not a good thing if you scare yourself first. Then you will become suspicious and everything will be attacked.
, on the contrary, I would miss many clues that could have been discovered, so no matter what Zhang Zuo said, I flatly rejected it and refused to think about this issue.
Zhang Zuo muttered twice, but did not insist anymore. He just asked: "Then tell me, where are we going?"
