Chapter 36 I'm Sorry

036 Chapter 36Sorry
By this time, the rosin had completely melted. The little brother and the fat man lifted up the stone slab. The little brother looked at it and said, "This is a burglar's cave." His expression didn't look good, so he went to check the body again. .

The fat man looked at it and said in surprise: "Oh, is it a robbery hole? Then this is a master. He dug directly under the coffin. It's amazing. This is Hai Dou. How did you dig this robbery hole?" Then he was confused again. Looking at the hole, he said: "Oh, but that's wrong. If this tomb chamber has an elevator structure, then there should be another tomb chamber under the coffin. How can there be space to accommodate such a deep hole?" Suddenly his expression relaxed: " Ah! The elevator statement is wrong."

The little brother said: "It seems that the rotation and lifting that the girl mentioned is more likely."

The fat man was a little nervous: "The situation of nourishing qi and hiding the corpse has been broken. Although the corpse has been waxed and can no longer transform into a corpse, the transformation of the spiritual point will become a failure point."

The fat man thought those words might be the key, so he traced them down first. At this time, he heard the little brother squatting next to the female body suddenly shout: "Oops!"

The fat man turned his head and saw that the little brother's left hand was tightly grasped by a small white-haired hand extending from the corpse.The fat man let out a frightened "Ouch" and immediately took the gun and aimed a dart at the belly of the female corpse. It seemed to hit the right place. The little brother broke free immediately. The fat man wanted to hit again, but the little brother shouted: " You can't be beaten to death! Run!" After saying that, he pulled the fat man into the hole in the coffin.

At this time, there was a strange sound coming from the pool next to me. Wu Xie quickly grabbed me and hurriedly shined his flashlight on it. I saw bubbles rising in the corner of the pool. Wu Xie immediately picked up his gun and stared at the bubbles nervously. The place.

After a while, a round and white thing emerged from the water. When I looked at it, it turned out to be a fat man. He was shirtless. What was just now was his big belly. He gasped and said, "Oh, my mother." Yeah, I almost...suffocated...suffocated myself to death!"

Another person appeared very close to us. I recognized it immediately and shouted: "It's brother." He raised his head and took a big breath. When he saw us all busy here, he asked: "Is this the left or the right? "

I remember this, Wu Xie said it just now, and I immediately blurted out: "The left side."

The little brother breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. I ran forward and called: "Brother." I followed me and saw him covering his wrist, so I asked him quickly: "What's wrong with your hand?" I looked at him. On his wrist, there was a black claw mark.

The little brother gasped and looked at me and said, "I'm fine."

The fat man panted for a long time before he recovered. He held his stomach and sighed. Wu Xie asked them how they got here. He spat a few mouthfuls and said to us: "Don't mention it. Fortunately, you didn't see it. It scared me to death. Fortunately, the coffin There is a robbery hole down there, otherwise we would have died there.”

Wu Xie asked in confusion: "What is so scary?"

The fat man roughly recounted what he had just experienced.After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked, "Brother, what is that gadget? Why don't you just give it a shot."

The little brother touched his wrist and said: "That's a white-haired drought demon. You can kill it by cutting off its head, but a lot of corpse poison will evaporate as soon as it dies. We can only use this little air, no?" A good deal.”

The fat man said in surprise: "That little thing is a drought demon! Oh my god! Legend has it that this thing can cause severe drought, and it is also said that zombies may turn into demon demons if they stay in the corpse raising ground for a long time. It is eye-opening to see it now." "

Wu Xie also found it unbelievable and said: "It is said in the Book of Songs that droughts and demons are tormenting people, as if they are as worried as burning. I didn't expect this to appear here."

I looked at him and kept covering his wrist and said to him: "When you encounter such a dangerous thing..." I said in my heart, it seems that the injury was serious this time, and I was trying to be brave.I stood in front of him, took his left hand with my left hand, looked at him and said, "It hurts, right. Show me."

At first, he just looked at me indifferently, but when he saw that I persisted, he let go of his right hand.

I dragged his left hand with my left hand, gently grabbed the spot with the paw prints with my right hand, and closed my eyes.

The little brother kept looking at me quietly. He only felt a trace of warmth in his wrist. There was a warm current flowing around his wrist. It was a very gentle and comfortable warm current. Gradually, the pain in my wrist became less painful and I felt better. Relaxed.

I could feel that his arms were vigorous at first, but now they gradually relaxed.I slowly opened my eyes and whispered to him: "Are you feeling better?" He nodded slightly, and I smiled faintly when I saw that he was getting better.

The fat man in the distance suddenly said "Hey" to the two of us and said, "Why are you two holding your little hands? Have you had enough? What are you doing now?"

Wu Xie shined a flashlight on him to signal him to stop making trouble.

The little brother pulled me to sit next to him. I kept holding his hand for fear of getting separated from him again.

After going back and forth, I used my spiritual power a few times to frighten and run away. It took a lot of energy and was very tiring. My eyelids started to fight, and I couldn't concentrate on listening to Wu Xie and the others studying the theft hole.

The fat man suddenly said: "Do you think Drought Demon can swim?" He stretched his head and pointed into the water, and saw a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the center of the pool. My brother and I stood up, and the four of us were nervous. Staring at the pool anxiously.

After a while, there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the pool. The water level in the pool began to drop. More than a dozen vortexes gradually appeared on the surface of the water. The coffin also began to spin with the water flow.

Wu Xie hurriedly looked into the pool with his flashlight and shouted, "Look." He saw a stone step spiraling down from the inner wall of the pool to the bottom of the pool.

The water fell very fast, and soon there was only darkness.There was a faint roar of whirlpools in the distance.This time, the sleepiness just now was driven away, and I had no choice but to sigh helplessly and hold my little brother tightly.

Wu Xie remembered that he had also brought a deep-water search light, and hurriedly took it out and each of us took one. We adjusted the light to the maximum and shined it in different directions, barely outlining the bottom of the pool. The pool was in the shape of a bowl with a wide top and narrow bottom, about 10 meters in diameter. It is about ten meters deep, and underneath is a circular plane with a diameter of about [-] meters. There are relief sculptures carved on it, but the water mist makes it difficult to see what is carved.

The fat man suddenly said: "Look over there, there seems to be a stone tablet in the middle of the bottom of the pool?" He pointed downward: "That's it."

Wu Xie looked down and said, "Okay, fat man, your eyes are poisonous enough, you can see this."

The fat man said: "That's it! Who am I! Tell me, where do these stone steps lead to? There may be other passages below. Let's go down and have a look!" As he said that, he jumped onto the stone steps.

Wu Xie hurriedly stopped him: "Don't worry, it's too dangerous to continue like this. At least we have to wait until the water mist below has dispersed."

The fat man couldn't wait and walked down several steps. He turned around and said, "How long will it take? Look at your courage. I'll go down and have a look. If it's not easy, I'll come back."

After walking a few steps, I heard the fat man shouting: "Hey, come here and take a look, this is in foreign language!"

Wu Xie didn't believe it and said, "That's nonsense. How can there be foreign writing in the ancient tomb?"

The fat man yelled angrily: "Tsk, hey! Even though my foreign language is not good, Fatty, I know ABCD. If you don't believe me, come down and read it yourself!"

Wu Xie deliberately teased him and said to him with a smile: "Whatever is engraved on it, please read it to me."

The fat man angrily scolded: "Get out, I want to understand, and I don't even have to ask you to come down! You're so quick!" Wu Xie jumped up on the stone steps. The stone steps were not very wide, and they could barely stand two people on them. They could only walk at a time. I was able to walk, so the little brother also jumped up. After standing still, he turned around and let me pass. I was a little afraid to jump, so he stretched out his hand and followed me. We lined up in a row and walked towards the fat man.

When the fat man saw us coming, he quickly pointed at the pool wall and said, "Look at this, if this wasn't in foreign language, I would have written the character "王" upside down!"

When Wu Xie saw it, he laughed and said, "Oh, this is really foreign writing."

The fat man asked: "Tsk, let me just say it's in foreign language! Alas, it couldn't have been left by your third uncle, right?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said with a smile: "No, my third uncle's English is no better than yours."

The fat man added: "I said there is nothing in this tomb. I bet it was the foreign brothers who got there first."

Wu Xie smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. People who write foreign languages ​​are not necessarily foreigners. Chinese people can also write foreign languages. These letters look like abbreviations. I think it may be a symbol. You can see that he carved them in a hurry. I'm afraid something urgent happened when he was walking down, or someone was urging him. In order to leave a mark for those who came after him, he carved a few letters here. And it looks a little bit... It's old, it may have been left by the archaeological team back then."

The fat man added: "Anyway, we still have plenty of time, why not go down and take a look, maybe we can find some bronzes to use as tools, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

The two of them were chatting happily. The younger brother was fascinated by the symbol. I also looked at it. It was a symbol I had seen before. I only knew that it was left by him, but I didn’t know the specific meaning. He Suddenly he said: "I seem to have been to this place before." After saying that, he didn't care about me and ran down quickly. I was afraid of losing him and quickly followed behind and said: "Wait for me."

When Wu Xie saw this, he also shouted: "Meng Youping, where are you going?" Seeing no one responded, he quickly chased after him.

I ran down with my brother and waded through the water. The water was quite cold. I passed a few things I remember called Dinghai Stone Monkeys and came to the stone monument. It was very dark down here and the water mist was very heavy. I thought, Fortunately, I followed closely this time... When I arrived in front of the stone monument, the little brother looked at it very seriously.

After a while, Wu Xie and Fatty followed. When Wu Xie saw the little brother, he asked, "How is it? Did you remember anything when you saw this?"

I whispered to him: "Brother Wu Xie, look at that." I pointed to him the words on the cornerstone in front of the stele.

Wu Xie looked at it and then read out: "These sentences mean that the owner of the tomb here once built a heavenly palace, and the door to the heavenly palace is in this stone tablet. If you are destined to him, the door will be Open for you.”

The fat man looked at the stone tablet and said, "Door? Where does the door come from? Is there a fart door?"

Wu Xie deliberately teased him and said, "Look, you don't understand. This sentence is a bit like Zen language. Everyone understands this sentence differently. His original intention is not to say that there is really a door in this stone tablet. Maybe It means that the content on the stone tablet hides something. If you can’t tell, that means you have no connection with him.”

The fat man curled his lips and sighed, then leaned down and touched it in the water. While touching it, he muttered: "It doesn't matter that I have no fate with Tiangong, as long as I have fate with Mingqi."

Wu Xie smiled, looked at it, and found something that shouldn't appear in this environment, and couldn't help but say "Eh".

The fat man said: "What happened? What did you see?"

He thought he had seen it wrong, so he wiped it with his hand and said, "This... this is not right. How come there is such a thing? It seems to be a pattern." He suddenly said "Huh?" in confusion.

The fat man glanced at him with disgust and said, "No, if you have anything to say directly, don't be surprised."

Wu Xie shouted in disbelief: "This is a cartoon animal expression! It's also made of metal. Pasted on it... Such a modern thing should be from recent years, but the corrosion level is at least ten or twenty years old. This doesn’t match up, it’s still in an ancient tomb.”

The fat man smiled when he saw it: "Hey, this is new."

Wu Xie looked at it with confusion on his face: "This... is so strange."

I knew it as soon as I heard it. This was 100% what I had left here back then. I loved putting up stickers and the like and always used them as positioning marks, so I asked Qilin City to make a bunch of these small metal signs with all the patterns. It was different. At that time, I was following quietly, and I was relatively close. It was easier and easier to identify me by leaving this mark. If anything happened to me, Xuefeng, Bai Hao and others would be able to find me based on this mark...

I turned to look at my little brother, who was looking at me indifferently and tilted his head, meaning "That's yours, right?" I winked at him and smiled, "It's mine."

Wu Xie struggled for a while and had no clue. He turned around and continued to look at the stone tablet. There was no word on the front of the stone tablet. It was polished so brightly that a human figure could be seen. There was no other information. How could he find it? Where is the door.

The little brother was still recalling what happened back then, and his face was not very good. He was just staring at the stone tablet carefully, as if he was looking for something. I thought I should not disturb him for the time being, so I stayed by his side quietly.

At this time, the fat man clapped his hands and asked Wu Xie to look at it. He picked up a diving goggle from the water and said, "It seems that a lot of people have been here."

Wu Xie walked over to him and said, "When my third uncle went out, he didn't have any diving equipment on him. These things may belong to him. Check to see if there is any oxygen cylinder."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man took out a flattened oxygen bottle from the water. He looked at it and saw that it was a bad one. He threw it back into the water and said disappointedly: "It's full of junk down here. It's empty." What a joy, I think we should go up quickly, there is no guarantee when the water will come up again, and it will be too late to fly by then."

Wu Xie looked at the water level and felt that what the fat man said made sense, so he walked back to us.It turned out that the two of us were missing. He tried calling several times but no one responded. He suddenly felt a little panicked and hurriedly asked the fat man to look around together.

The little brother looked at it, then his expression suddenly changed, he turned around and left. I quickly followed him.

He walked to the corner of the pool wall and sat down, staring blankly ahead. I followed his gaze and tried to recall the memory I had recovered. This angle was exactly where he was.It seemed like he remembered it, but the look in his eyes... made me feel nervous.

I gently sat down next to him and looked at him quietly. I thought a lot, but in the end, I found that the only thing I could say to him was: "I'm sorry." After saying that, my tears fell down and I quietly lowered my head. Headed.

The little brother thought about what happened 20 years ago, and suddenly his calm eyes were gone. In an instant, as if he had lost hope in everything, time seemed to have been frozen at this moment, with those almost desperate eyes, staring blankly. Towards the distance.My "I'm sorry." brought him back from his despair. He turned around, looked at the little girl in front of him quietly, and held her in his arms.

Although the fog was very thick at this time, the place was not big. Wu Xie and Fatty had already walked around twice and finally found the two people sitting in the corner of the pool wall.

I saw the younger brother hugging the sleeping Xiaoxun, sitting there and looking at her quietly. The two of them felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, and looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.

Wu Xie asked softly: "What's going on?"

The younger brother looked up at him and said in a barely audible voice: "I remember what happened 20 years ago."
