Chapter 93 Shaanxi Tomb Ancient Burial 22
What I was most worried about happened, the candle finally burned out!
But just at the moment when the candle was lit, I suddenly heard a popping sound above my head! This sound came very coincidentally, just a second before the candle was about to be lit.
As soon as I raised my head, the candlelight went out, but at this moment, I saw a big square hole on the top of my head!
To be precise, it was not a big hole, but a square passage. The passage was completely dark, and the candlelight could not shine in at all.
However, this discovery immediately made me feel happy, because I finally understood why Li Dandao and the others disappeared when they arrived here. They must have climbed up.
But what made the noise just now? I held my breath and waited for five minutes, but nothing happened.
Where did this sound come from? Why did it suddenly sound above my head? Ever since I entered this ancient tomb, I felt weird, as if someone was always reminding us how to go deep into this ancient tomb!
But we didn't see anyone, so what's going on?
Weird! It’s really weird! After thinking about it for five minutes, I couldn’t think of a reason, so I stopped thinking about it.
At least I am somewhat certain, that is, I will definitely not be in danger for the time being.
"This passage is at least five meters high from me. How am I going to get up there?" Although I found the passage, I was worried about how to get up there!
Now the candles have been extinguished and the surroundings are pitch black without even a trace of light. Without light I can't see at all.
My mind quickly recalled the scene when I checked the wall just now, trying my best to recall the surrounding scenes.
Gradually, my mind began to construct the surrounding scenes!
According to my recollection, this passage is about as wide as four or five people standing side by side, and the width of the entire wall is the same as the width of the passage.
There are no decorations on the walls, the stone bricks are neatly arranged, and there are no furnishings around the walls. It can be said that except for behind me, the three walls are bare.
In other words, there is no stepping stone around, and there is nothing that can be moved over.
The square passage above my head is only about one person wide. If I can climb up there smoothly, I can use my hands and feet to support the wall and climb up.
But there is a full five meters distance, and it is impossible for me to jump up. Even if I can reach it with my hands when I jump, there is not enough height for me to support my body.
If I want to jump from the same place and have enough height to support my body, then I have to jump at least 7 meters high! Because the entrance of this passage is a full 5 meters from the ground, plus my height is about 175, if
If I can't jump 7 meters, it's impossible for me to hold on to the wall!
But it is obviously impossible for me to jump 7 meters high on the spot!
"What to do! How to get up there?" I thought rapidly, one idea after another passed before my eyes, but I rejected them all. Almost all of these methods were based on the availability of tools.
But I have nothing on me now, except for two pistols and a rifle!
"If Li DaDa and the others can go up, there must be a way to get up here!" I frowned and thought.
"By the way, there must be something wrong with the wall!" After thinking for five minutes, I finally set my target on the wall.
But there was no light around, so I could only touch it with my hands. According to what I just recalled, I started to touch brick by brick! Although the progress was very slow, the effect was excellent.
Without the light, I feel that my touch is more sensitive. Now I feel very strange. My body is not tired or painful, but my touch is several times more sensitive than before. I can feel the subtle changes in the tips of my fingers.
This feeling is very wonderful.
Just like this, I touched the stone bricks one by one, starting from the soles of my feet and touching all the way up. Because there were so many stone bricks, it took a lot of time!
In this dark place, although I had a watch, I couldn't see the time, and I didn't know how much time had passed. In my opinion, it must have taken a long time.
Just when I touched a stone brick at my knee, I suddenly discovered the problem!
This stone brick is completely different from the ones I have touched before. Almost all the stone bricks I have touched before are rectangular, each one is 20 cm long and 5 cm high, but this stone brick is only 5 cm high and 5 cm wide.
!
"Hey!" This sudden discovery surprised me!
The stone bricks on the wall should be of the same specification, so as to ensure the stability and firmness of the wall, but a significantly smaller stone brick suddenly appeared here. There is absolutely no reason for this.
Then I immediately touched the side of this stone brick, and sure enough, I touched 3 more stone bricks of the same size on the side of this stone brick, a total of 4 pieces side by side.
When these 4 stone bricks are put together, they are exactly the same size as a normal stone brick!
"Why did it suddenly change to 4 stone bricks? Could it be...!" I suddenly thought of a possibility, so I pressed it hard.
Sure enough, with this press, I actually pressed down the two stone bricks in the middle, and a groove suddenly appeared on the entire wall! This groove is just big enough to fit a palm or the sole of a foot!
"So that's it!" This sudden discovery immediately made me ecstatic, and I hurriedly touched the side.
Because there was no light, I didn't touch very quickly, but soon I touched 4 more identical small stone bricks in the upper right corners of these 4 stone bricks.
In the same way, I pressed down two of the four bricks. After ten minutes, I found dozens of places on the wall, and I could press down two stone bricks at each place.
In the blink of an eye, a row of "ladders" made of stone holes appeared on the wall. Now I finally know how Li Dadan and the others got up. It seems that she and Anna Liu discovered this mechanism earlier than me.
However, these rocks can only be pushed in for about a minute. Once more than one minute, they will automatically rebound, so I have to climb up as soon as possible.
Now that I have a solution, I will think more about it, and then I will reach out and start climbing upwards. At the same time, I am looking for stone bricks while climbing.
In this way, I climbed up step by step, like a rock climber, and soon I climbed to the passage above my head.
Because there was no light around, I could only reach out and feel it while climbing. After climbing another seven or eight meters, I finally felt the four cold walls around my body.
"Okay!" I felt ecstatic, and then I started to climb up using my hands and feet.
Climbing up in this passage using your hands and feet is much simpler than climbing a wall like rock climbing just now, and the body's center of gravity is easier to control.
At this moment, I was like a gecko, climbing up quickly. After climbing for about three or four minutes, I suddenly felt a tightness on the top of my head. I knew that I should have hit the ceiling.
When I felt that I had reached the top, I immediately supported the entire weight of my body with my feet, and then freed my hands to touch the front.
Under this model, I found that there was a wall in front of me, and my left and right sides had already touched the wall when I used my hands to support it. So there were walls on three sides, so I must have a passage behind me.
Thinking of this, I turned around and touched back! Sure enough, I didn't touch anything behind me. There really was an entrance here.
So I hurriedly used my hands to support myself, released my feet, and climbed in with the strength of my arms.
Chapter completed!
