Lao Chu didn't respond, he just smoked the cigarette silently, one puff after another.
In the blink of an eye, half the cigarette was burned out.
“Hey,” Lao Itch sighed again, “Old Wu, actually, it’s about how I got here three years ago, and I don’t count it.
--I'm lying to you."
"What happened is---this is what happened."
"Three years ago, I, a group of us, indeed found some things from the Qing Dynasty in the valley behind Jiazi Valley."
"Later, we searched---searched in the valley and found a tree---a tree hole."
"The tree hole leads to the ground. We drilled in and walked down. Finally, we walked to the bronze tree."
Lao Itch said, taking two puffs of his cigarette, and then said, "The road to the tree hole is very dangerous. In the process of reaching the bronze tree, we lost no-no
Few people."
"Then at the Bronze Tree, the remaining people, including me, encountered the collapse."
"I was lucky enough to survive. I had no choice but to go back the same way I came."
"It took me a long time to discover this secret passage next to me. I walked all the way to this tomb. Then, we followed the route we took this time.
, and left alive.”
"This is my --- my complete experience here three years ago. It's all true. I promise."
After Lao Chu finished speaking, he threw away the few cigarettes left in his fingers, looked at Wu Xie, and waited for Wu Xie to say anything.
Wu Xie didn't say anything immediately, he just blinked and continued to stare at Lao Itchi with solemn eyes.
Stared for a while.
"I hope what you just said is really the truth."
"If I find out again soon, you're still fucking lying to me."
"Then no matter what, we brothers have nothing to do."
Wu Xie opened his mouth and solemnly stated his attitude.
Lao Chu smiled and said, "It's all the truth, I swear."
"Ha," Wu Xie sneered, and stopped pestering Lao Itch for lying to him, "Then the great benefit is at the Bronze Tree, that's what you mean, right?"
Lao Itch nodded, "Yeah."
Wu Xie took advantage of the victory to pursue, "What is it specifically?"
Lao Itch didn't take the bait and shook his head decisively, "I still can't tell you now. You will know when you get there. Seriously, just believe me once."
Wu Xie: "Haha."
Smiling coldly again, Wu Xie withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Lao Chu, and turned his gaze to the secret passage, "What is the situation inside this secret passage? Are there any mechanisms? How long does it take to walk?"
Lao Itch didn't pay attention to Wu Xie's sneer, and immediately answered in a sincere tone, "The secret passage is a bit long. I estimate it will take half an hour to walk."
"There shouldn't be any mechanisms inside. The last time I left, nothing happened."
"However, the temperature at the end of the secret passage is relatively high. I don't know the specific reason for that."
Wu Xie: "How high is the temperature?"
Lao Itchy thought for a while, "It's almost the same as --- the indoor-- outdoor temperature in summer."
Wu Xie didn't ask any more questions, his expression was thoughtful.
Seeing this, Lao Itch said, "Under that kind of temperature, we definitely can't have a good rest. I suggest that we take a break here, eat something, and take some supplements."
Get some strength and go down again."
Hear this.
Wu Xie did not answer and turned to look at Ding Ze.
Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled, "Then let's take a rest."
Wu Xie: "Yeah."
soon.
The three of them sat casually on the ground, took out the food, and started eating.
-----------------------
[Your ancestor] in the live broadcast room.
A group of night owl type spectators saw this scene.
"As expected, those who engage in tomb robbing are not ordinary people. There is a coffin next to it, and there is a corpse in the coffin. The three anchors actually started eating midnight snacks like this... Awesome!"
"Everyone is evil!"
"It's outrageous! I once thought that those guys who danced on the graves were outrageous enough! I didn't expect that there are mountains higher than the mountains. I admire them!"
"Tell me, if the host and the others are eating, and the black-haired guy in the coffin suddenly sits up and says, "I've been lying down for hundreds of years, I'm hungry, give me some," what will it be like?
?”
"(⊙o⊙)...... Brother upstairs, your imagination is too open, aren't you afraid that everything in your mind will leak out?"
"??????Brother, is this how you understand the word "brain hole"?"
“╮(╯▽╰)╭, I often feel out of tune with you because I’m not cool enough!”
"..."
In the middle of the night, a group of spectators did not sleep, and each one was more excited than the other, showing off his or her side.
In the tomb.
I ate something simple and rested for ten minutes.
"Let's go, finish things early and go back early!" Wu Xie stood up first and said.
Ding Ze and Lao Chu had no ink marks, and Ma Liu stood up.
The three of them walked to the entrance of the secret passage.
"I'll go ahead, you just follow me, that's all," Lao Itch said.
Ding Ze and Wu Xie nodded in agreement.
When Lao Chu saw it, he didn't hesitate, held the flashlight, stepped on the stairs in the secret passage, and moved down slowly.
Wu Xie followed and walked down second.
Ding Ze walked last.
Didn't take a few steps.
Ding Ze felt the hot wind blowing up from the darkness below as described in the original novel.
In this regard, because the original work did not explain the high temperature below, he was actually a little confused.
'What is going on down there? How did this high temperature occur?'
'Is it the same as the underground river before? There is a warm rock vein underneath?'
'If so, where did King Mu of Zhou hide the dragon-patterned stone box, and wasn't he afraid that the baby inside would be cooked?'
Ding Ze let his mind wander and started thinking wildly.
Time flies by in my wild thoughts.
unconsciously.
About twenty minutes passed.
By this time, the temperature in the secret passage was already a bit exaggeratedly high.
Due to the high temperature, there was basically sweat on the faces of the three of them.
"Old itch, how long will it take to arrive?" Wu Xie raised his arm, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked.
Lao Itch didn't look back, "It's coming soon, a few---a few minutes at most."
About five minutes later.
"We're here!" Lao Chi, who was the first to leave the stairs and step onto the ground, said with some excitement, then turned around, took out a lighter, and lit the torches on both sides of the secret passage exit.
The flames rose.
By the light of the fire, Wu Xie, who was now beside Lao Chu, immediately opened his eyes wide and looked forward.
Ding Ze had the same behavior.
Only seen.
What suddenly opened up was the bottom of a huge circular vertical shaft.
A rough estimate shows that the diameter of the entire bottom is about sixty meters, which is quite astonishingly large.
The bottom is not flat, but sunken, a deep pit.
In the deep pit, a huge, thick, and terrifying bronze tree stood quietly!
