Top Secret Army - Memories of a Secret Army Veteran

Chapter 24 The Mystery of the Secret Path

However, we didn't discuss any results after all. The water instructor said helplessly: "Let's take a rest and eat something." So we found a huge rock, and everyone sat down and began to rest.

I saw that Jiao Yiming didn't eat after sitting down, but looked thoughtfully at the pond where the mosasaur entered the water.So I walked over and sat beside him, and asked, "Brother Jiao, do you really think there should be a secret passage? Could it be some kind of mechanism? I think if it is, then it must be in this cave." near the pond." Jiao Yiming looked at me and said helplessly, "I know that too, but I walked around and checked carefully, but I didn't find any mechanism or news. kind of thing,"

At this time, Zhang Li, who had been by my side all the time, suddenly said: "Brother Jiao, do you think it is possible that this ancient race has other ways to control this mosasaurus, for example: witchcraft or other spells? Instead of What other methods like secret passages."

Jiao Yiming's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.He sighed and said, "Even if, as you said, some witchcraft or spells were used to control the mosasaurs, we don't know."

"Oh!" I also let out a long sigh.To be honest, we all really have nothing to do now.That Mosasaurus is really powerful and ferocious, we can't compete with it.

Zhang Li flashed her big eyes and said, "Maybe I have a way to try."

When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at her.Seeing so many people staring at her together, Zhang Li seemed uncomfortable. She blushed and hid behind me, saying in a low voice, "My master is a strange man from Miaojiang. In fact, he also taught me a lot of witchcraft, such as It is said that there is a kind of witchcraft called "###", (to be honest, I didn't understand) the Miao language means mind control. It is similar to the hypnotism we are talking about now. If you can control the spirit of Mosasaur and make it sleep temporarily, We may have a chance to break through. I don't know if this method will work. But according to my master, she used this witchcraft to control some animals, such as snakes and weasels."

When we heard it, it was incredible.Witchcraft is so amazing!Animal behavior can be controlled, but can this big guy be hypnotized?

Instructor Shui pondered for a while and said, "Now we have no other way, let's try Zhang Li's witchcraft." Everyone looked at each other and said that there was no other way, so they had to try this.At this time, Pang Xiaotai suddenly said in a low voice: "Then shall we wait for the mosasaur to come to eat again and perform witchcraft, or shall we dive to the stone forest and deal with it? Those human-headed creatures are terrifying, and I don't want to go into the water." go."

Everyone heard it right, those human-headed creatures in the water don't know what they are, if they enter the water, there are a huge number of these things, what if they attack us again?

At this moment, Jiao Yiming said, "These human-headed things, if my guess is correct, are the blood shed from the dark tank of the perennial sacrifices thousands of years ago, and the spirits of the dead flowed into the water. The pond, and the genitals derived from the fusion of some microorganisms in the pond, should be a kind of organism with a sense of resentment. Judging from the black blood that flows out of it and the stench it emits when we smash it, these things have corpse poison in their bodies .And this pond, I don’t think it’s too small.”

"Then what should we do?" Xiaowenshu said in a hurry, "Then we have nowhere to go!" Suddenly, I looked at the four walls of the cave helplessly, and excitedly said to everyone: "I figured it out!" We can’t go down, we can go up.” Everyone looked at me with one voice and said, “What? Go up?”

I said with certainty: "Yes! Go up. Everyone knows rock climbing? We use this principle to climb over the rock walls on both sides of the underground cave! I observed carefully, and the surrounding rock walls are not flat, but There are many stone buds and stalactites, as well as uneven rocks, we can be careful and climb over."

Everyone heard it right, why didn't you think about it.So everyone started to discuss enthusiastically, observing the rock walls on both sides, and designing the best route.After some discussion, it was decided to act immediately.Because of Xiaowenshu's light body and agility, everyone unanimously decided to let him be the first practitioner, and everyone surveyed the route for him below.

The climbing rope brought by the water instructor was wrapped around Xiaowenshu's shoulders, and he tried to use the rope to connect the remote climbing points while passing by, because there are women like Zhang Li who have no martial arts among us.She needed rope balance and transitions to climb over.

Based on the rock climbing route we observed, Xiaowenshu carefully climbed forward step by step along the rock wall on the left side of the pond. Everyone looked at him nervously and reminded him of the best place to stay. point and hand hold point.For about five or six minutes, due to the very wet and slippery rock walls of the cave, the small instrument moved very slowly.Everyone couldn't help becoming anxious. If our method is not successful in practice, it will be really difficult to handle.

Just as we were slowly feeling disappointed, when the little document suddenly stepped on a foothold, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air with a low cry!The girls below us were taken aback, everyone hurriedly called the name of Xiaowenshu, and I greeted everyone, and climbed up the rock wall directly, ready to find him.

Just as I had just climbed up a few steps with my hands, suddenly there was a sudden sound inside the rock wall, and the rock wall was also a little shaken.I was shocked, jumped down quickly, took a few steps back with everyone, and looked at the rock wall nervously.

In a matter of tens of seconds, a stalactite near our side of the pond began to rotate slowly by itself, and a huge boulder on the rock wall next to it slowly moved from top to bottom following the sound inside the rock wall. Swipe down.Slowly, a hole that allows a person to bend down and pass through is revealed.

Just as we all looked at each other, Xiaowenshu's head stuck out from the inside, looked at us with a smile and said: "Comrades, the secret passage has been found! I think this is the entrance to the secret passage!" It seems that Xiaowenshu The foothold that I stepped on was the mechanism of the secret passage, and I accidentally opened this secret passage.

Everyone's excitement really can't be expressed in words. It's so happy to be able to avoid this pond and the ferocious ancient monster Mosasaurus!

I was the first to jump on the boulder that had slid to the ground, pushed the little document in, and bent down to get in.Others also quickly filed in and walked into this secret passage.

This secret passage is very spacious, and four or five people can walk side by side. Judging from the fact that both sides of the ground are made of flat stones, this secret passage is artificially built.It’s just that in that era, how many people had to polish so many stones of the same size and very smooth!The wisdom of the ancients does sometimes surprise and confuse us moderns.

The entrance to the secret passage is very clean, without any display items, except for a semicircular groove every few meters on the walls on both sides, in which there is a pottery oil cup, but there is no oil in it.All of us can only turn on the flashlight and walk forward slowly.

The secret path is not very long, and after walking about a few hundred meters, it will end. At this time, we can see that two opposite doors made of bronze are abruptly inlaid on the stone wall in front of us. A bronze medallion, engraved with a strange animal.It looks like a unicorn, but it has black hair all over its body, a single horn on its head, and two wings on its body.Everyone didn't know what kind of animal it was, so they asked Jiao Yiming if he knew.

After a careful look, Jiao Yiming said: "This animal should be called "Xiezhi". It is a famous divine beast produced under the ancient divine system, and it is also called "Dharma beast". According to the ancient book of my adoptive father, , the big one is like a cow, the small one is like a sheep, and its appearance is roughly similar to that of a unicorn. It has thick and dark hair all over its body, its eyes are bright and energetic, and there is usually a single horn on its forehead. It is said that those who break the horn will die. It has been seen to have wings, but most of them have no wings. They have high intelligence and can understand people's language. They will use their horns to resist dishonest and unfaithful people. Because of the extinction of this kind of animals, ordinary sheep are often raised in later generations. In temples, it is used instead of Haechi."

Then he paused and said, "Look at this animal carved on the bronze plaque on this door. Behind the door should be the temple of a race or a kingdom."

I observed the bronze door carefully, and found that the door made of bronze had two knockers, which should be used to open the door.

At this time, Pang Xiaotai came over and asked Jiao Yiming: "Brother Jiao, what do you think will be behind this door? Is there such a monster or other dangers?"

Jiao Yiming smiled and said: "It's hard to say, since we entered the cave from the west mountain, danger exists at any time. No one can predict what is behind the door and what will happen. However, if my guess is right , This secret passage is so secret, behind this door must be an important place of an ancient tribe, due to the secret nature of the secret passage, and there is no obstacle when we pass through the secret passage, the danger should be relatively small."

When we all heard this, our hearts relaxed a lot. I asked the instructor Shui and Jiao Yiming for their opinions. After they agreed, Pang Xiaotai and I stretched out our hands on the left and right to grab the two pull rings on the door. , ready to forcefully open the door.

At this moment, Jiao Yiming suddenly shouted: "Slow down!"

Pang Xiaotai and I let go of our hands in astonishment, and stared at him blankly.Jiao Yiming frowned, as if he was thinking about something.Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he thought of.

Jiao Yiming suddenly turned around and walked back along the secret path, still counting "1, 2, 3, 4...".

The water instructor beckoned, and we all followed him back in confusion.After a while, they came to the entrance of the secret passage again.Jiao Yiming stopped there, and murmured: "Seven seven 49, shouldn't it? My foster father said that where the temple is located, there must be floor tiles numbered nine nine 81 from the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of the temple. Why is there seven What about July 49? Could it be that you haven’t entered the entrance to the temple? Or is there some other reason?”

I saw him talking to himself while squatting down to touch the square stones on the ground.

We all looked at him wonderingly, what were we thinking about?Everyone illuminated him with flashlights, and followed him step by step, squatting on the ground and moving forward.About halfway through the secret passage, he groped around on a stone on the ground, then stopped, raised his head and let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said to all of us: "It's so dangerous!" Fortunately, in front of that bronze door, I suddenly remembered that my adoptive father once told me about an experience when he was young, otherwise we would definitely encounter unimaginable danger at this moment!"

After finishing speaking, ask Pang Xiaotai to point to the stone he touched on the ground and say to us: "From the entrance of the secret path to here, all the stones are smooth and smooth, only this one, the one above There is a crescent-shaped trace in the carving, which is the real entrance to the secret passage! And that bronze door may be a passage, but it may be a dangerous trap! It is definitely not the entrance of the so-called temple that we saw, and it is absolutely Not that we should go."

While talking, Jiao Yiming lightly pressed his hand on the crescent-shaped protrusion of the stone, and then we felt a slight vibration of the ground, and then heard the rumble of the mechanism below.

Then suddenly the neat eight floor tiles on which the few of us were standing fell together.

As the floor tiles fell, the hearts of each of us were raised in our throats.What's next?What magical or weird things will we see?

Gradually, everyone's whole body fell into the ground, in the darkness, our flashlights only illuminated the void, it seemed that there was a very empty and huge space beyond the rock we were standing on. Leaning tightly together, back to back.The stones under his feet are still sinking, and there is a slight wind in his ears. The breath of the wind is very fresh and pure, without any peculiar smell.
