red tomb

Jiang Siqi was the first to recover. "Is this really a screen wall?" He asked suspiciously, "There are so many, isn't it... more like some kind of building material, just like adobe?"

"Just go and see the other side." Su You made a quick decision.

So the three fell back, passed the door again, and walked to the other side.But the result disappointed them—from the other side, after the turn, there is also a long corridor composed of screen walls, which is also too deep to see the end.

"I don't think it's right," Jin Sheng said suddenly, "These two corridors don't seem to be the same?"

Su You and Jiang Siqi couldn't help but take a closer look when they heard the words.Then they discovered that Jin Sheng was right——

Go around from the left side of the screen wall, turn the corridor to the right; go around the right side of the screen wall, and turn the corridor to the left.If the corridors on both sides are the same, when they stand at any one corner, they should be able to see the wall on the opposite corner.

but none.The corridor stretched silently into the distance, and the gluttonous heads protruding out were lined up neatly one by one, as if something was waiting to devour them ahead.

"...Visual illusion?" Jin Sheng managed to hold back a sentence.

Except that the logic is wrong, there is no problem with the two corridors-the sculptures are the same, the angles are the same, the walls are the same thickness, and the zenith is the same.But if the logic is wrong, it is a big problem-how can there be two corridors in a space that is only enough for one corridor?

"I don't know." Su You replied. "But now comes the question - which way to go?"

This is another problem.If it is a different corridor, at least there is a difference to consider; if it is exactly the same...

"Just go together." Jiang Siqi said coldly. "Although there may be other accidents, I think it's best to go as before, the three of us chained up and walking."

"That's right." Jin Sheng nodded faster than Su You - or should be described as inevitable, "When you don't know anything, walking together can better preserve your strength."

"What if you run into some kind of trap?" Su You objected. "Wouldn't it be equivalent to annihilation of the whole army if you lose one?"

Jin Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at Su You.Su You has always been the most courageous among them, but now he is more cautious than anyone else. It may be because of others—that is, him and Jiang Siqi. "Then don't tie it into a dead knot," he compromised, "Is this the head office?"

Su You couldn't find any other reason, so the matter was settled.The three of them didn't bother to turn back to the left turn, and went in directly from the right.

There was no light source in the corridor, it was pitch black, and it stands to reason that a flashlight would not be able to illuminate the surroundings clearly.But based on the special fluorescent properties of the stone, it seems that as long as there is a little candlelight, it is enough to illuminate the road for several miles.It's just that the stone's fluorescence is a light green color, which is quite scary.Especially those relief carvings, they look like they are alive when they are exposed to light, their eyes are green and their teeth are cold.

"It looks really cold." As Jin Sheng walked, he felt pimples on his skin protruding out uncontrollably.He also knew that this was a psychological effect, because the temperature inside such a thick stone building was almost constant, so it was impossible for him to feel the cold until this time.

"It's true to be careful." Jiang Siqi said.He had a general feeling about the corridor, and he also had a general feeling about Taotie, and he was all focused on possible traps—the situation was very dark, and he had a bad feeling.

But at the same time, he couldn't deny that he had another feeling—expectation, agitation, eagerness to try.Just like the sudden joy when he first stepped on the sand, he didn't know how the anticipation came from - this place doesn't look good at first sight, does it?

So, that must not be his perception.And if you have to say who it is...

Jiang Siqi thought of the vision he saw when he was in Jiangyingzi. An emperor who looked exactly like him smashed Jiuxiaoqin.

He certainly couldn't have imagined it himself, so it could be a fact, or it could be a hint.After that, he checked secretly.Judging from the color of the clothes and the style of the palace, the emperor is the emperor of the former Qin Dynasty.In addition, the saint was the respectful name for the emperor at that time, so there is no problem in calling him Qin Sheng.

There is also a fact that it is the Qin Sheng that Su You and others saw when Paiyun Mountain.He was possessed and unconscious, but Qin Sheng's face was the same as his, and he had heard of it...

Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng; throwing the piano, playing the piano...

So are they three, or two, or one?He is now going deep into this ancient city, and whose expectation is it?

"……Ouch!"

The cry of pain brought Jiang Siqi's attention back.It was Jin Sheng, who bumped into a wall while walking. "I said it's an optical illusion, right?" He said angrily, touching his blushing forehead, "It seems that there is still a way!"

"It looked like there was still a way to go." Su You said.He took two steps forward, touched the invisible wall, and turned his head to see a new square road intersection where the stone wall was originally on the side. "We've been walking for about ten minutes, so it's definitely not the earliest Zhaobi."

"Well," Jiang Siqi said, "Go on."

Jin Sheng curled his lips and continued to move forward.This time he kept his eyes open and began to move back and forth in front of him with his alpenstock.It's funny to dance around in the air, but it's better than hitting the wall again.

It worked.After another ten minutes or so, they encountered a second hidden ninety-degree turn.

"Is this a square corridor?" Su You was very sensitive to the angle, "Are we always walking on the side of the square?"

"Perhaps," Jiang Siqi looked thoughtfully at the top and the ground, "it will probably be more obvious after walking around twice."

Jin Sheng had no other opinions, so the three of them moved on.Soon they discovered that every turn was in the same direction, that is, they were in a spiral.As less and less time is spent between each turn, the square spiral is contracting.

"This seems to be an inverted cone-shaped corridor," Su You gestured twice in the air, "The one with the big top and small bottom."

Jin Sheng and Jiang Siqi's three-dimensional geometry and industrial drawing are not bad, and it is easy to imagine where they should be.

"What will happen in the end?" Jiang Siqi asked.

"If we walked from the left just now, would it be this kind of spiral?" Jin Sheng asked.

Su You spread his hands. "I also want to know these two questions." He tightened the slipknot of the rope around his waist, "but now seeing is believing."

The angle at which the corridor shrinks is actually not obvious.But the problem is that its side length itself is not too large, so the tendency to become smaller is obvious.After two hours of trekking, the three of them arrived at the last checkpoint - a gluttonous head about half the height of a person.

The height of the corridor had gradually decreased before this, so low that they all stooped to reach the terrible head; for one person could block all, and had to take turns to see.

"It keeps its mouth shut," Su Yu said after the three of them studied it, "I only have a bad feeling."

"We have to get through its mouth." Jin Sheng said after him.

"Then drill!" Jiang Siqi felt that this problem was not a problem, because they would definitely continue to search. "What's behind? It can't be the corridor, right?"

This statement proved to be a crow's mouth.Because Su You easily opened the tightly closed entrance, revealing the still dark passage inside.Just as he was about to take a good look with the flashlight, he suddenly heard a few small sounds of breaking through the air, and immediately turned pale with fright: "Get down, get down!" Kicked down.

Because nothing happened along the way, the roar was unexpected, and both Jin Sheng and Jiang Siqi were taken aback.When they came back to their senses, they were already falling backwards, and something sharp and cold flew past——

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of iron objects entering the wall was clear and indistinguishable, making the three of them swell from hair to toe.After confirming that there was no more shooting out of it, they dared to determine what the shooting thing was——

It turned out not to be the dark arrow they had imagined, but three iron birds glowing with a dark and cold light.It is about four inches long, with streamlined wings that are thin and pointed, from the beak to the edge of the back are very sharp, and even the claws on the feet are made.

"As a hidden weapon, this thing looks too delicate." Su You almost stared straight at it.Putting on his gloves, he carefully removed one of the birds from the stone wall.I don't know where it moved, and the bird with its wings clasped wiped the ground and changed into a state of spreading its wings and wanting to fly.

This came so suddenly that the three of them were startled.Fortunately, the iron bird only made this action, and didn't fly up or spray out the arsenopyrite.

"Beauty is beauty," Jin Sheng pressed his frightened little heart, "If you get shot by it, you will die!"

Su You couldn't help but take another look at Jin Sheng.It didn't matter after seeing it, he immediately widened his eyes: "You are hurt!" Jin Sheng's forehead was probably scratched by the bird's claws, and at this moment, tiny drops of blood slowly ooze out, six obvious marks!

"What?" Jin Sheng himself was taken aback.

Seeing blood is not a good thing, so the three of them stopped caring about Tie Niao and hurriedly helped Jin Sheng treat the wound.Jin Sheng looked in the mirror and thought it was not a problem, but Su You and Jiang Siqi deeply felt that this place was weird, and it would be better to wrap up the bleeding.But Jin Sheng was determined not to do it.The final consensus reached was to rub the powder on the wound to stop the bleeding.

After finishing this matter, they will be in the mood to continue to study the iron bird.I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I was frightened again when I saw it—whether it was the one wrapped in the glove by Su You before, or the two stuck on the stone wall, they have all flown again.Not attacking is not attacking, but they are just like having eyes, spinning around on top of Jin Sheng's head.

"... They seem to be very interested in my head." Jin Sheng looked at those birds, thinking that this is really a tragedy—has he not done anything well!Why just stare at him!

Su Yu tried to help him catch it, but the iron bird seemed to have eyes, and it was able to avoid him accurately.Jiang Siqi also tried it, with the same effect. "It seems that you are more popular than us." He shrugged and laughed.

Jin Sheng gritted his teeth.A heartless little bastard!Still laughing at him at this time!

But inevitably, once the laughter comes out, the tension is lessened. "At least there is no danger," Su You comforted Jin Sheng, also comforting himself, "We'll just keep going in..." He turned his head while talking, and his eyes widened for the third time in just a few minutes: "... Why is there light down there?"

The other two were also stunned.When Su You just opened the gluttonous entrance, it was absolutely dark inside; they just dealt with some things, and then turned around and lit up?

What's down there?
