Chapter 465 Siguniang Mountain (25)

465 Chapter 465 Siguniang Mountain (25)
I grabbed the rope and squatted down, holding on to the hole, turned over, got into the hole and started to climb down.

When I was halfway down, I heard Qi Tiezui from below reminding me: "Qilin, please slow down, the rocks are all tilted up now, making me stumbling."

I responded to him, and then paused for a moment before landing. He gave me a hand underneath and helped me land safely.

After landing smoothly, I observed the environment inside. The area under my feet was indeed much wider than the one above. It seemed to be part of a passage. One end of the passage had collapsed and was blocked, with dirt, gravel, and debris. Bricks are stacked densely, and this place is built with the stone used to grind stone powder.

The place that Qi Tiezui mentioned was turned over was the area under my feet, and it was also the edge where the damaged part of the passage combined with the intact part.

The stone slab under our feet was cracked by the surrounding masonry debris, and most of it was tilted up.

The remaining part of this passage is only five or six meters long. The intact end has a square hole more than one meter high.

Qi Tiezui said to me: "There is a small stone room over there, and everyone is in it."

But I just looked at the entrance of the stone chamber curiously, but I still wanted to wait until I saw my brother before talking, so I didn't go over, I just moved away a little, and I said to him: "Wait for them."

After a while, sister Li Yue, brother Bai Hao and Zhang Rishan had climbed down one after another. After Zhang Rishan came down, I raised my head and kept looking at the rope. After a while, even the rope became still. I I still didn't see my brother following me. Although I knew he was already on top, I was just worried.

But at this moment, I vaguely heard the footsteps of someone walking over. It was very light, but very familiar.

Following me, I saw the rope suddenly shaking and being pulled upwards. A few seconds later, a figure moved down quickly. Only then did I see the belated figure of my brother. As soon as he came up, he saw me looking at him with a frown and a puffed-up mouth.

Zhang Qiling knew from the look on the little girl's expression that he was worried, but the girl didn't say anything. She just walked up to him with her lips pouted, her head tilted slightly and she continued to look at him.

Li Yue smiled and said, "We've arrived, you can leave now."

I immediately took his arm and we walked towards the small door of the stone room together.

Qi Tiezui stretched out his ears and listened in the direction he had just come down. Then he quickly followed up and said: "The movement outside was much quieter. The movement just now was too permeable. This tree is more terrifying than those bats. Fortunately, there are Such passages and stone chambers can give us some shelter."

Bai Hao said: "If we didn't have such a place to hide and were outside, we would probably have formed takraw balls. When we came in, the outside was already heavily surrounded. Now it should be basically There is no way, and the entrance of the cave we entered must have been entangled with roots and branches again."

Qi Tiezui said: "Not only do we have no way back now, but we also enter a tomb inside this island. This island is suspended in the air, and there is an abyss below."

Bai Hao said: "It looks like this at this stage."

Qi Tiezui stammered: "Then, then...how to get out? What if there is no way?"

Bai Hao sighed carelessly and said, "Just take one step at a time. There's no point in hurrying."

Qi Tiezui looked at him in shock, but he knew it could only be like this, so he sighed helplessly.

We walked into the small stone room. As soon as we entered, we felt that it was much colder here than outside. As soon as I opened my mouth to breathe out, I subconsciously curled up, pressed closer to my brother, and hugged him tightly. arm.

I looked around and said, "There must be several degrees of temperature difference between this and the passage." After saying that, I shivered and rubbed my nose that was suddenly itchy due to the cold air, followed by several sneezes.

I thought about how my brother had given me his shirt before, but now he was wearing very thin clothes. I looked at my brother and asked him, "Brother, are you cold? Why don't you put on some clothes?"

He said to me in a very sure and gentle tone: "I'm not cold."

I saw that he really didn't look cold, so I said "oh" in doubt.

Brother Bai Hao saw that my cold hands were retracted into my sleeves and said to me: "I don't understand. Generally speaking, men are more cold-resistant than women."

I looked at him, my eyes asking him "Why?", and he said to me: "To tell you something simple, people with more muscles on their bodies are more resistant to cold than people with more fat. People like us like Qiling have amazing muscle density. Those who are strong and healthy can naturally withstand the cold, but for someone like you, the only thing on your body that is water is fat, so you will definitely get colder when exposed to cold and heated up when exposed to heat."

I thought he was going to educate me on science, but he took the opportunity to hurt me, so I gave it to him with a fierce look.

Li Yue patted him and said, "Actually, there are many factors that determine whether you are afraid of the cold. It's not just this aspect. Some men are also afraid of the cold. The main reason is the difference in the physiques of men and women. You can ask Yu Jing if he can explain this when you go back. clearly."

Bai Hao said with a half-smile: "Well, I'm not afraid of the cold anyway. I have been exercising and have a lot of muscles. When it comes to my figure, I am still very confident. My explanation is not that unclear, right? .”

Liyue said to him: "Are you exercising? Uh..."

Bai Hao turned his head and looked at her and blinked. Li Yue looked at him with a mischievous expression, and then suddenly opened her mouth slightly. Bai Hao whispered a few words: "Don't, don't...".

The corners of Sister Liyue's mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were curved like crescent moons. Without blaming him, she continued to say to me: "Your fever hasn't gone away yet, so you're even colder. Wait for me." Sister Liyue looked out of her bag. Taking out an instant hand warmer, she tore open the package and held the hand warmer in her hands for a while. She was stunned for a while, tested the temperature, and then handed it to me.

The moment I took the hot pack into my hand, I felt a cold air immediately being sucked out from the top of my head, and warm currents gradually flowed down my palms to my body.

I called Liyue in a low voice and said to her, "Sister, does this exist in this era?"

Liyue thought for a while and whispered in my ear: "This kind of thing seems to have only been around in the 70s, but it will be around in a few years. It'll be fine."

Qi Tiezui looked at us curiously, and Li Yue said to me, "Leave it to me."

I looked at this area again. It must be a tomb. The entrance to the tomb is the center of the trunk of the tree with thick and twisted branches.

This tomb is about ten square meters in size, which should not be considered too big. The walls in the stone chamber are quite plain. There are some ordinary clay pots on the ground. There is another door hole on one of the walls, which is the same as the hole we entered. It's relative. You should leave through that doorway soon.

I turned around and looked at my brother's other hand. He had been holding the stone box he took out from the base. He didn't know what it was used for. Everyone calmed down and prepared to set off. From the stone chamber Go through the other doorway.

My brother held the box and handed it to me. He lowered his eyes and looked at my small backpack. I immediately picked up the pocket of the small backpack and opened the mouth of the bag.

Qi Tiezui said: "The box is as big as one side of the bag, so it won't fit in."

I took out a bag with a drawstring in my bag, untied the drawstring, unfolded the bag and started to pull out the edge of the bag.

The side of the pocket was unfolded and enlarged like a fan. I opened the opening and put the stone box into my pocket, tightened the drawstring again, and then started stuffing it into the much smaller satchel pocket. .

Logically speaking, it was impossible to stuff it in. However, I easily stuffed the bulging cloth bag with the box back into the small compartment of the satchel, and the bag was still as flat as before.

Qi Tiezui's eyes widened and he watched the whole process intently. He pushed up his glasses with a puzzled look on his face and said, "This is a shell bag as big as a palm."

I smiled and pinched the strap knot on the side of the bag with both hands and said: "I brought it back from my trip before. It is said to be a handmade cowhide bag from Nepal. Brother Bai Hao paid for it and helped me pick it out. Isn't it cute?" I said. Then he blinked his eyes.

I knew what he was wondering about, but I refused to mention the relevant matters. Qi Tiezui muttered: "It's not... that..."

Bai Hao said: "Speaking of the bags brought back from Nepal, I have a few more. Is Mr. Ba interested?"

Taking advantage of the time, my brother led me to the doorway. I gave him a light, and he put his head out to see the situation. Seeing that he was very calm, I followed suit and went out to watch.

I saw a long masonry corridor outside, with no end in sight on either side. One side of the corridor near the stone room was an empty corridor, and the other side was strewn with countless storage pots, all of which were sealed. I always feel like there is something inside.

My brother said in a calm tone: "Don't touch those jars." We followed us into the corridor.

I followed my brother in the direction I was walking. Anyway, it was probably a corridor-style tomb with a corridor. Tombs are generally square, and the corridor usually surrounds the tomb, so I can always get to where my brother is looking.

It's very humid here. There are watermarks on the walls. The damp marks are as short as one meter high. If you look closely, there are still water droplets on the jars.

There is a square hole a few steps away from the top of the wall. There are holes like this on both sides of the wall. However, the location of the hole is high on the outside and low on the inside. There are some suspicious marks on the edges of the square hole. The higher side It seems like some powdery stuff remains on the edge of the outer square hole, and there are water stains on the lower side.

There were rows of sealed and high clay pots placed around me. I always felt that these things were crumbling, and I felt very scared.

As we walked, the corridor began to have some slopes, and the stone slabs under our feet gradually turned into stone steps, but the slope was very gentle.

In addition to the musty smell, the air here also smells of moist earth, which is not stuffy at all.

After passing two corners, we came to a relatively open area with a good view. On the left and right, on one side was a dark stone path, I don’t know where it leads, and on the other side was an exquisite stone door, which was very large. Generally speaking, This is the main tomb chamber. Directly opposite the gate, there are three symmetrical stone door openings on both sides. This should be what they call the side chambers.

We walked to the nearest doorway, which was only half a person's height and had an arch shape, but to me it looked like a firewood-burning Yantai.

There are many murals on the surrounding walls. There is a painting on each brick. They are all small and small. There are many rows from top to bottom. The depictions are quite detailed, but most of them are of the tomb owners. daily life.

Going to the main tomb chamber should be the first thing to do immediately. They were already at the gate of the main tomb chamber trying to figure out how to open it.

The door of this tomb looks like it is made of jade, but it also has some metallic luster. It is black with green, and it is impossible to tell what kind of jade it is.

The door was easy to open. They took a metal rod and quickly pried it out. However, as soon as the door opened, a layer of white powdery substance "popped" and rushed out from the door with the air flow. .
