Chapter 0515: Wireless Loops, Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams
In the deep corridor, gusts of dark wind suddenly blew through, making the wind dance lightly as they burrowed into the ground for the first time, sending chills down the spines of Chen Haowen and Feng Hao...
However, when they thought that they might find an existence comparable to the ancient city of Loulan, they were filled with joy.
Cao Xiong followed the four of them, sighing and shaking his head!
Still digging clay pots?
Make a fortune?
You are lucky if you can save your life.
How can it be simple to hide a passage in such a strange place?
Liu Shiba and Liu Qianqian walked at the end, silently thinking about their own thoughts...
Qin Da took a flashlight, brandished an engineering shovel, and dug all the way in!
Everyone followed Qin Da extremely closely. In order of precedence, they were Qin Da, Chen Haowen, Feng Hao, Feng Qingwu, Cao Xiong, Liu Qianqian, and Liu Shiba.
Qin Da took the lead and Liu Shiba took the last one.
Most everyone has one of the high-powered flashlights on the Dongfeng Warrior. Through the light beam of the flashlight, everyone gradually sees clearly the corridor they are in. There is nothing weird about it, it is just tilting downward more and more.
Everyone's mood, from being nervous when they first entered the cave, has gradually relaxed now.
Maybe, this is just an ordinary ancient tomb...
The corridor is still a masonry structure, and the bricks were identified by Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong as blue bricks from the Han Dynasty.
The tops of the corridors on both sides are carried by thigh-thick beams. Although it is very old, it has been well preserved due to the dry climate.
The extension of the corridor is a bit weird, with sudden and inexplicable turns in many places, and sometimes it takes a long time to turn.
Sometimes, after walking a few meters, there would be a sudden turn. The group followed Qin Da who was leading the way, changing the direction of travel from time to time.
Feng Qingwu turned her head, looked at Cao Xiong and asked:
"Uncle Cao, how could there be such a tunnel in the deserted Gobi Desert?
Who built this huge project? I think it’s a mile or two deep underground, right?”
Cao Xiong raised his head. He didn't know how to explain to Feng Qingwu, so he could only say:
"Perhaps this tunnel was dug by tomb robbers, or it may be a branch of the ancient city of Loulan..."
Feng Qingwu covered her mouth and taunted in a low voice:
"Come on, Old Cao, if this tunnel is dug by tomb robbers, I will swallow it with the engineering shovel I am holding now."
Cao Xiong's face darkened, and his face turned blue and white after being said, but he didn't know how to refute Feng Qingwu, so he smiled helplessly and said:
"Do you know how long it would take one person to dig a hole that is two people wide and one person high?
Among them, the most difficult thing is not digging, but transporting the excavated soil.
According to the era at that time, it was impossible to have technology such as air blasting, and everything had to be done manually.
If there are three or five tomb robbers, it will take at least ten years to dig at a rate of ten meters a day."
Feng Qingwu winked at her, covered her little mouth and said:
"Was it that long?"
Liu Shiba couldn't help but interjected:
"Ten years is conservative. If there are only three or five people, just laying blue bricks and beams, I think it will take more than ten years."
"Hmph! You can't believe it, spending so much effort just to dig a burglary hole? According to you, it really took twenty years."
Feng Qingwu pursed her lips.
Next, the group stopped talking and only heard the sound of footsteps on the ground...
The corridor seemed endless, and even Qin Da, who had the best sense of direction, couldn't figure out how many turns he had made.
Fortunately, there are no forks in this corridor, so it is not difficult to return to the original path!
As the group of people were walking, Qin Da suddenly squatted down.
Liu Shiba's voice came:
"What's wrong?"
Qin Da's voice responded from the front:
"The corridor here has become shorter, and you have to bend down to get through."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The corridor gradually became lower and lower and narrower.
If I could barely walk along the corridor before, now I can only squat and move forward step by step.
"Take a rest! It takes too much effort to move forward like this."
Liu Shiba's voice sounded far away in the corridor.
After everyone heard this, they all sat down on the ground and calmed down, drank water quietly, and rested for a while.
Originally, the group of people kept moving forward. Although it was strenuous, it was bearable. However, just after sitting down to rest for a while, they felt the cold air in the corridor became even more alarming.
When you exhale, it turns into white mist!
The corridor gradually became a little eerie!
Next, Liu Shiba and his group began to move forward along the corridor!
I originally planned to rest for a while, but the biting cold air gradually became unbearable...
About ten minutes later, Qin Da's voice suddenly sounded, with surprise in his tone.
"We're at the end of the field. Is there a room or something in front of me? I can't see clearly!"
A group of seven people emerged from the corridor one after another!
Everyone began to examine this strange room carefully.
This room is about more than 100 square meters. The four walls of the room look relatively smooth, and I don't know what kind of rocks they are.
"Ah! What is that?"
Feng Qingwu pointed to a corner in the room and screamed!
The group of people were shocked when they heard this, and turned around to look, only to find a human-like black shadow flashing past in the corner of the room!
"Don't shoot, chase and see!"
Liu Shiba stopped Feng Hao who was about to shoot.
What is that?
Qin Da brandished the engineering shovel and rushed over first. Unexpectedly, he didn't even catch the shadow.
Just when Qin Da was about to take action again, the black figure suddenly accelerated and disappeared under everyone's eyes.
When Liu Shiba and others chased after him, they were shocked to find that there was another tunnel in the corner...
"What to do?"
Cao Xiong said solemnly.
Chen Haowen said in horror:
"This place is very evil. That shadow just now, that shadow..."
"What's wrong with the shadow? If you fart, hurry up and stop the ink stains?"
Liu Qianqian couldn't help but curse.
Qin Da's eyes twitched and his mouth cracked. This wife is so angry!
Chen Haowen whispered:
"I just accidentally saw that the black figure was a person, a child..."
"child?"
Liu Shiba and his group looked at each other in confusion.
Miles underground, with a child?
"You can't go back, you're going to die, so go after it and see!"
Liu Shiba was heartbroken and said sternly.
He had a feeling that this place might be related to the Zen Stone Sea!
Others didn't notice, but Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong tacitly understood it!
In the corridor ahead, everyone followed Qin Da around and around. It seemed that there was no pattern in the corridor, but it contained the method of setting up the Nine Palaces and Bagua Array.
Only Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong, who have the characteristics of Feng Shui masters, can see this obscure formation method.
The group of people chased along the corridor in the room for a short time before entering a place that was exactly the same as the previous room.
When Liu Shiba used the flashlight to see the layout of the room clearly, his expression changed and he pointed at the ground and said:
"What's on the ground?"
Cao Xiong took one look at it and was immediately stunned:
"footprint?"
Cold sweat dripped from Liu Shiba's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, isn't this the room we just left?"
Feng Qingwu screamed:
"Where is the entrance to the corridor we came in from?"
Everyone turned their heads and looked around. In the empty room, except for two identical passages, there was nothing else.
When I arrived, the dog hole I crawled into was gone...
