Chapter 110 The choice of intersection
110 1Chapter [-]: Choice at the intersection
They planned to rest at the place where Wu Xie fell, and then think carefully about the meaning of the third uncle's message.

After running around for so long, they remembered that they hadn't eaten anything all day.Pan Zi took out the wind lantern from his backpack, lit it to keep them warm, and prepared to get food.

They opened their luggage and discovered that the bags were almost full of equipment, including ropes, claws, hooks, fire tools...necessary supplies for adventures for both young and old.

They counted the food they had brought, and it was obvious that it was not enough, and several of them had bad expressions.

They all sat there and ate something. Fatty had a big appetite, and after finishing this meal, he had nothing left.Seeing that this meant that I had eaten one meal but not another, I muttered: "Don't be afraid. What are you afraid of? There is really no food. I am a living granary."

The little brother sighed and I said: "Don't worry, little brother, I know that I can't reveal my identity. I will give it away when it is really necessary. And even if it is given, of course it cannot be too exaggerated. It's just the two of us." That little equipment doesn't look like how much food I brought, and the weight of it will not be discovered. Isn't this still a certain thing? Just think about it."

Pan Zi said to them: "When Chen Pi Asi distributed our equipment, he kept a hand. All the equipment was carried by our people, and the food was carried by their people. In this way, no one on either side could hold the other down. You can’t run away by yourself, I really didn’t notice this move.”

The fat man laughed and said: "What the hell did you notice? Fortunately, I didn't expect you and your third master. Every time I meet you, you will make a loss. I expected this day on the train."

Pan Zi took a sip and said, "Don't you fucking say sarcastic words. You're not a good person either. If you don't cause trouble for us, I'll be the one who cares about you."

When the fat man heard this, he got angry: "Oh, I..." Shunzi was afraid that they would start to quarrel and stopped them, and said to them: "Boss, if you have the energy to quarrel, why don't you think about what your third uncle said quickly?" What's the meaning?"

Wu Xie also patted Pan Zi to tell him not to be angry.He turned around and asked Shunzi, "Third uncle came to see you at that time. Please tell us in detail what happened." As soon as Wu Xie spoke up, Fatty and Pan Zi calmed down and looked at Shunzi together.

Shunzi said that a month ago, the third uncle mixed with a group of tourists going to the snow mountain and came here.He was the one who led people up the mountain.Later, when he spent the night in the mountains, his third uncle suddenly called him out and told him in a very mysterious way that he was going to the snow-capped mountains by himself. He told him not to tell anyone, and then gave him some money and asked him to go there. At this time, I am waiting for a man named Wu Xie at the foot of the mountain to take them into the mountain. As long as I can bring them to him, I can give him a large sum of money.Then he said that reminder, and it was emphasized that as long as it was Wu Xie, he would understand it immediately. "

Wu Xie was confused now. He couldn't figure out whether he was alive or dead, and he seemed to be in a daze.Several people were stunned for a while.

At this time, the aisle my brother and I were walking began to gradually widen, and after a while, we arrived at the exit.

The little brother looked outside, turned back and said to me: "I'll go out and take a look, wait for me here."

In this situation, I could only look at him eagerly and say "yes" in agreement.Following the little brother, I climbed out first, and I followed him a little further toward the entrance of the cave, and then I huddled beside the entrance of the cave and looked at him outside.

The little brother looked around outside, reached out and grabbed the little moon, turned around and bent down and gave it to me who was already shrinking in fear, and said to me: "I'll be back soon." After that, he took out his flashlight and walked far away Walking away, I held the little moon in both hands, huddled up at the entrance of the cave, and waited for him obediently. This was much scarier than the time I stayed in the light channel of the underwater tomb. On one side was a long row of black holes, and on the other side was darkness. unknown area.

The fat man asked Shunzi: "Then how did you know how to tell us these things after paying off Chen Pi Ah Si?"

Shunzi chuckled, showing a completely different expression from before, and said to Wu Xie: "I'm not a fool, your third uncle told me your number of people, and said that if the number of people is wrong, I can only pass the message to you. People listen. As soon as I saw you, I felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in your group. It seemed that there were two different groups of people mixed together. I didn’t know what you were doing at the time, so I had to pretend to be stupid first. What happened? I collected other people’s money, and it would be bad if I didn’t do it right and delayed your affairs.”

Wu Xie finally understood now. No wonder Shunzi seemed to be calmer and calmer the further back he went. This was his true face, and his honesty all the time was just an act... Really, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

After hearing this, Pan Zi's face darkened and he said, "It's not that simple. I think you know something else?"

Shunzi smiled faintly: "I served as a soldier here before retiring. I walked a lot in the snowy mountains. My parents are native Xian people. They fled here from North Korea during the July 718th turmoil and hid in the mountains. Several years. In this mountain, there are many legends from ancient times, and we encounter many strange things. Every year, countless people come to the mountain with various strange purposes. If you want to say that I don’t know anything, I still know something. , so when I saw you walking towards this mountain, I guessed what you wanted to do." He paused and glanced at Wu Xie meaningfully, "If it hadn't been for your third uncle's instructions, at the place where the avalanche happened on the mountainside, I will never let you go any further."

I thought to myself, what am I talking about? This person must be very smart.At this time, I heard footsteps, which was in the direction where the little brother walked away. It seemed that the little brother was coming back.I hugged Little Moon tightly, unable to breathe heavily, and looked at the place where the sound came from, trembling.

After a while, I saw him coming back with a flashlight on. I felt happy and looked at him with a smile. He stretched out his hand and pulled me out of the hole.

I saw a large, deep square pool just a few steps in front of me. There was another one not far away. I asked him, "Brother, what is this pool?"

The little brother said: "This is the aqueduct, be careful and follow me."

As he said that, he led me along the ridge of the river to a stone bridge not far ahead, and then walked a short distance to the other side.

The little brother didn't stop. As soon as we reached the other side, he pulled me and turned a corner. It should be a turn along the direction of the current.

It didn't take long for him to stop. Now I have a conditioned reflex. As long as he stops in front of the stone wall, I will look at my feet first. Sure enough, there is a square hole with a very regular square shape on the stone wall beside the river ridge in front of me.

He put away the flashlight and took the little moon from my hand. As soon as he let go, the little moon flew up. I knew he was going to drill in, so I waved my hand and clicked. The little moon was waiting at the entrance of the hole, and followed the little brother to get in. .

After getting through, I saw in front of me a tomb made of black rocks. It was quite wide inside, but the height seemed a bit short. I didn't have any problem. The little brother seemed to be able to stand up straight. There were many neatly placed around it. There were many earthen jars, each half as tall as a man. "What kind of jars are these? Water jars? Not sealed, wine jars?"

The younger brother took me and looked at the reliefs on the surrounding walls, which depict scenes when the emperor was hosting a banquet. On the left and right walls of the tomb, there was a stone gate, and behind it was a dark corridor.The little brother saw that I was still looking at the jars and asked softly: "Open it and take a look?"

I blurted out: "No." I thought to myself, who knows what is inside, if there is something terrible, I don't want to look... I looked at the two dark corridors, I stretched out my finger, one finger While asking: "Um, which way should we go?"

The little brother looked at me for a moment, then tilted his head to one side. I waved the little moon in, and he pulled me and walked over.

When I arrived at the entrance of the corridor, I asked him: "Don't you need to leave a mark?"

The younger brother said calmly: "I have kept it."

The fat man saw that Wu Xie couldn't figure it out and asked him: "Is it possible that this reminder is related to what happened in your own family before? So only you people in the Wu family know?"

Wu Xie shook his head: "I understand Third Uncle's personality. He is not the kind of person who tells a super complicated code and then asks us to guess it. Since he asked Shunzi to pass the message, the meaning of this sentence is definitely very clear. There must be something wrong, we thought wrong."

Pan Zi said: "But since the third master said that it is "you" who can know it at a glance, and not "we", it must be a code about what you have in common. Why don't you think about it? It would be nice if they had something in common.”

Wu Xie frowned and thought hard, and came up with many strange things. He and his third uncle were a little confused when they saw the woman... No, this is too vague, and the third uncle himself would not admit it even to death.My third uncle and I both have the surname Wu, but this probably has nothing to do with the code... Also, we both live in Hangzhou, and our main place of living now is Hangzhou.

When Wu Xie thought of this, he suddenly trembled and said, "Hangzhou..."

When I heard this, I said with a smile: "He finally thought about Hangzhou." With that, we had already entered the corridor.

I saw that it was very wide inside, and there was still wind blowing, and it was still cold wind: "Why is it so much colder than outside? Where does this wind come from? There are traces of cars on the ground."

After walking forward for a while, we found that the ground was collapsed and broken, and the black stone slabs were also tilted. There were coiled columns with single dragons carved on them, and many of them were cracked.

As I walked, a black stone door appeared in front of me.The younger brother pushed it and said, "This is not a door, it is a sealing stone."

"Oh, it's made into the shape of a door." After a quick look, there were many patterns carved on it, including dragons and lions, which I couldn't understand. The one carved on the right door... I don't recognize, and the one carved on the left door was... Sheep, I said "Hey": "Brother, look at the belly of the sheep. There is a hole. The cold wind blows out from here."

"It exploded." The little brother said calmly.I looked at the probe and was about to get in. After he passed by easily, he turned around and came to help me. As soon as I stretched out my hand, I felt that it was colder over there than here... I shivered after passing by: "It seems to be colder." cold"

As we said that, we continued to walk forward, and there was another sealing stone in front of us. It was not as complicated as the previous one. There was also a hole blown in the sealing stone, which was bigger than the one before.

After we passed through three such stone seals in total, a crossroad appeared in front of us and we stopped.

The small moon shines through, and there are a large number of bright red murals in this tomb passage. The top of the tomb passage is also full of colorful murals.

I looked at him and asked, "Which way are you going this time?"

The little brother was stunned for a while and shook his head.I thought to myself, isn't it... If you go to the wrong intersection, you'll be in trouble: "Then I'll check it out in my own way." As I said that, I closed my eyes. As soon as I closed them, I opened them again and looked at him and asked, " Can you look in all three directions?”

He shook his head and said, "Just look at both sides."

"Oh, okay." Then I closed my eyes and felt it carefully. After a while, I said to him: "There are stairs on the left and a room on the right. There are piles of things in it, and there seem to be a few more." One..." I looked up at him, and he asked me to continue: "It's like there are people sitting, there are many of them."

The little brother frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. Anyway, he didn't speak for a while.

My brother used my senses to hear Shunzi talking about the group of people his father brought into the mountains ten years ago and never went back. He thought it might be those people. Those people died there, and I'm afraid that What's on the side.

"Brother, do you want to go over there where there seems to be a corpse?"

He nodded, and I asked again: "Is it important? And it may be dangerous?"

He nodded again. I thought for a while and said to him: "Brother, I will leave a teleportation point here and on the left. If we encounter danger on the right, I will take you to teleport away immediately. Don't worry. , I’ll protect you. Do you think it’s reliable?”

I blinked at him, and he knew I was serious, and looked at me with soft eyes, but I seemed to feel that he was laughing on the inside... He marked two positions with me, looked at him and said, "Let's go. "
