After Steamed Bun finished speaking, Jiao Ba turned his head and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I've done some rough calculations along the way, and there won't be any mistakes."
Mai Lao said behind him, "Xiao Ba, we'd better be more cautious, and don't get into trouble because of our carelessness at this moment."
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Okay, let's just follow what you said, Mr. Mai, and let's continue to move forward like this."
At this time, I reached out and patted Li Xin in front of me. She turned back and glared at me and said, "What are you doing?"
"See those arrows just now. If you try hard, you'll probably turn into a very beautiful hedgehog." I looked at her blushing face and was holding back a smile. This girl has always been arrogant and cold, and her thinking was very slow.
It was fast enough, so I was quite embarrassed this time.
"Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in." Li Xin remained expressionless, as cold as frost.
"Forget it, I won't make fun of a woman, be careful, Sister Li Xin." I reached out to pat her again and raised my eyebrows at her.
Li Xin suddenly showed a very gentle smile, which made me confused. But the next second, her expression changed, she snorted, and said almost through gritted teeth, "Fortunately, you held it in, if you dare to laugh
, I will kill you with one knife."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head away. Hey, this woman is really interesting. I just made a joke and she wanted my life. It’s a shame that I didn’t risk my life to save her in the first place. It’s so hot-tempered.
My cold butt.
Jiao Ba followed his method and continued to lead the way forward. The rest of the way was smooth and there were no more ambushes. It seemed that what Jiao Ba said was accurate and we were safe for the time being.
After walking hard for a while, we finally walked out of this passage. It took more than half an hour at least. Everyone was exhausted. Who can bear this kind of walking?
, we originally planned to sit down on the edge of the passageway and rest first.
But when we walked out, the scene in front of us was once again difficult to accept.
"This... what the hell is this place? Where have we gone?" I looked at the scene in front of me, my head pounding. This was another huge problem.
What is in front of us is a small bridge made of wooden planks, less than one meter wide, hanging in front of the entrance of the passage. It is shaky and has only two wooden stakes as thick as a bowl to fix the small bridge.
On both sides of Xiao Qiao, there are handrails made of hemp rope. There are only two ropes, and they are all suspended in the middle. Below are the wooden boards. The wooden boards are also connected bit by bit with ropes, and each wooden board is separated from each other.
About ten centimeters, arranged all the way to the opposite side.
The color of the wooden board has become charred and black, and there are obvious large cracks. It seems to have been severely corroded. The small bridge is curved downward. Looking at it, it is estimated that the bridge may break at any time. In fact,
It's too thin.
The total length of this bridge is about forty meters, and there is a dark underground passage on the opposite side. It seems that the size should be similar to the passage we walked through before, but we don't know where it leads.
And around Xiao Qiao, there was the bottomless abyss. There was nothing but darkness. It was almost like the sky at night, except that there were no stars and moon. The darkness was endless and nothing could be seen.
It's the same when you look at it from top to bottom, as if you're in outer space.
There is a thick layer of gray mist above the abyss. This mist is in a flowing state. If you look carefully, you can see that the mist flows slowly, just like water vapor, covering the entire space in the cave.
My first impression here is that it is like a cliff connecting the top of the mountain. The fog above my head is like clouds in the sky. The abyss around the bridge is like a cliff. However, here is
It is more shocking than the top of the mountain, and it will make you feel timid.
"I don't know either, but I guess... it's not a good place." Mai Lao said as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Oh my god, this place is so weird. You see, the sky and the earth here seem to be connected. The sky is above your head and the earth is below your feet." Jenny said in surprise. She must have never seen this before in her life.
Of course I have never seen this formation before.
"Yeah, with the sky above my head and the ground under my feet, it's pitch black all around, just like the legendary Hell Gate." I cursed at myself, this ghost place is really not something humans can come to.
Li Xin said nonchalantly, "This should be the place that really leads to the cemetery."
"How do you know?" I turned to look at her. Li Xin seemed to have something in her words.
"Don't look at me with such suspicious eyes. I'm just guessing. Jiao Ba said before that there was a cemetery, but I didn't say that. In addition, the passage we just walked through was obviously a threshold.
Only when you have passed through it can you be considered qualified to enter." Li Xin's tone of voice was just like an automatic announcer, without any emotional content, and it was flat and scary.
"How dare I doubt you? What if you are unhappy and kill me again?" I said a little embarrassed.
"Humph, you just know. It's best not to make me angry." Li Xin rolled her eyes at me and stopped talking to me.
"Okay, I'm talking too much." I don't know why, but since I went down to this cave, Li Xin has returned to her previous coldness towards me, and is even worse than before. After all, I haven't offended her, this woman.
Falling out, really falling out faster than turning over a book.
But I have to admit that what she said makes sense. It was indeed Jiao Ba who was the first to suspect that there was a mausoleum here. I also agree with this. This mysterious island must be the next stop on the navigation chart.
.
Mr. Mai walked to the edge of the small bridge, looked around and said, "Why is this place so evil? There is actually a small bridge made of wooden planks. The surrounding area is pitch black. What could be underneath?"
Shunzi casually found a relatively large piece of gravel nearby, stretched out his hand and threw it in. We waited quietly for a while. After the gravel fell from above, it took almost a minute and there was no sound of it hitting the ground.
Or the sound of falling water.
"It seems that there is really a bottomless abyss around here. If we want to get across from here, the only way is to cross this small bridge." Chang Shan looked around and said with a heavy face.
Jenny looked around and said, "That's true. There is no other way around. It seems we can only cross the bridge."
I shook my head gently and said, "This small bridge looks like it is old. The wooden planks and ropes are obviously corroded. It would be very difficult to walk across the bridge. It is too dangerous."
"Brother Yi is right, I also feel it's too dangerous. This bridge looks so dangling, don't say it's over. If you fall halfway, it'll be all over." Shunzi said casually.
Swearing, he rarely uses swearing unless he is really in a hurry.
"But there is no other way now, we have no choice." Chang Shan said with a helpless sigh.
"Let's try not to take risks. Good luck can't always follow us." Then I looked at Mr. Mai again and asked, "Old Mai, what are your plans? Do you want to get over here right away, or...
..”
"Let everyone rest here for a while. We are all too tired and can't hold on any longer. We might as well take this opportunity to think about how to cross safely. This bridge is indeed too dangerous." Mai Lao said.
Then he walked to the side and sat down.
Afterwards, everyone also sat down outside the entrance of the passage. Along the way from the jungle to here, we have experienced too many incredible things, fear and exhaustion, which have been suppressing all of us.
Everyone seems to be a little absent-minded. Everyone's face and look are a little dull. They don't know what they are thinking. Facing a desperate situation, it is very difficult for people to be strong. This is because there are still many of us. At least we have
I have a companion, otherwise I can’t imagine that I could easily be tortured and go crazy.
And I have been thinking that maybe this is the tomb of the mistress of Fengpei. As long as I find the mistress of Fengpei, I will be able to solve all the previous mysteries.
Of course, it may also include who the two men in black are. I haven't seen those two men in black since arriving on the island. I really feel a little uncomfortable and miss these two people.
This time I feel that as long as I walk through this place and reach the target, I should not be far away from the secret of this navigation chart. No matter what conspiracy or plan is hidden behind it, there is also the secret of me.
The curse must be lifted.
However, there is only half of this nautical chart, so who has the other half? There are two routes on this half of the nautical chart.
While on the island, I suddenly figured out something. The two points drawn on this half of the nautical chart are very suspicious. The most important thing is that there is an extra downward arrow. So after calculation,
That's three o'clock.
If all this is related to the Ming Dynasty, then we should not find the Qing Dynasty shipwreck. This Qing Dynasty shipwreck was discovered by Mai Lao and Shunzi at the same time.
Because it is very close to the Ming Dynasty shipwreck, I just said that I found the wrong shipwreck at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, it should not be the case. The location of the Qing Dynasty shipwreck has actually been drawn on the nautical chart.
Later, something happened, pointing all the fingers at Shunzi. Jiao Ba had also doubted him before, but when the coffin was salvaged from the Ming Dynasty shipwreck, Jiao Ba overturned this suspicion again. He also believed that
Maybe someone is trying to blame Shunzi again.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for a Qing Dynasty shipwreck to appear on a Ming Dynasty navigation chart. How could something from the Qing Dynasty appear on a Ming Dynasty navigation chart? I had never thought about this at first, but after thinking about it again, I still have doubts.
