piecing together the soul

Chapter 123

For five seconds after falling into darkness, we too were silent.

But after five seconds, I came to my senses and said, "I told you to turn it off to save battery! You must listen! How are you doing now?"

Master Xu didn't seem to be worried at all, and said, "Don't you think I'm not in a hurry at all?"

I did see it, but only just now.

"Can you do it?" I asked back.

"Heh." He laughed, which sounded like a sneer, but I couldn't see the expression, so I don't know if it was.

I asked again: "What are you laughing at?"

"Didn't I just say that the one stuck in the groove is the slate."

slate?What can that explain?
"The stone slabs are relatively thin." After saying this, I heard the sound of Master Xu unzipping his backpack, "Generally speaking, they can all be knocked open."

With Brother Xiu's faint light, I saw Master Xu take out the engineering shovel he used before, and I couldn't see what he was holding in the other hand.Then, I heard a "ding", like the sound of metal stuck in the middle of the stone.Then there was the knocking sound of "Dangdangdang". The sound was very harsh in this small space, but at this moment, I didn't care whether it was harsh or not, and I just wanted to get out quickly.

After knocking like this for about seven or eight times, the stone shattered with a "crash", followed by dust. Although I was far away, I was unprepared and choked.

Brother Xiu seems to be subconsciously standing in front of me. Although he still only has his head, left and right hands, and right leg, at this moment, I seem to feel his not-so-broad shoulders and not-so-warm embrace.If he was a living person, he would hug me to help me cover the dust, right?Even if he is a Virgo cleanliness.

Master Xu also turned his head and covered his mouth and nose, and kept cursing: "Shit! I didn't expect the smoke to be so big. I knew I was wearing a mask."

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help answering: "Wearing a mask is useless? Now I feel like I can't have it anymore!"

"Oh, it seems so. When I brought you here before, your blood was all on my arm." Listening to his tone, he felt that he disliked me very much, "At most, I have a little dust on my body, you..."

"Stop talking!" I couldn't bear it anymore, "Can we hurry out? Is there anything else? If not, can we go back quickly?"

"Let's go now." Master Xu said, and moved forward, "Be careful, the stone fragments on the ground are quite sharp."

"No steps or anything?" I asked.

"No, there is nothing, it's flat ground."

Listening to his guidance, I squatted down and rubbed forward with peace of mind, and finally got out of the hole. I finally stood up, and I quickly straightened up and stretched my waist.

It feels so good to stretch out!
It was still pitch black all around, and I didn't know what kind of place it was. I only knew that Master Xu had said that this was the legendary main tomb.However, the hole we entered from the side hall just now is flat ground. We climbed down the hole and climbed up a step to get here. Is the main tomb higher than the side hall?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly my arm was grabbed, and Master Xu said, "Let's go, what are you thinking about?"

As he spoke, he pulled me against the wall and walked to the left.

"I really want to ask you, is this side higher than the side hall?"

"No. You think the difference is because of the robbery hole just now? The robbery hole has a slope. Don't you think it's more difficult to climb to one side than to climb to the other side?"

If I'm being honest, I really don't think so, but it seems to explain the difference in the time it takes to go back and forth.But didn't Master Xu say he adjusted the time?Maybe there is not such a big gap in the time of going back and forth, but the gap he deliberately made is a little bigger?Forget it, these are not important.

Still, I'd really like to see what it's like here.So I gave Mr. Xu a hand and asked, "Should we just leave when we go out? I want to see what this place looks like!"

"I want to see it later, but this time I'll forget it." As he said, Master Xu pulled me hard and then pulled me forward.

"What's the difference between watching this time and watching it next time?" I asked back.

He still pulled me away, and walked faster and faster.He said in a low voice: "I always feel a little strange this time. I don't know who installed the stone slab just now, and what happened if it wasn't in place. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I didn't bring everything with me this time. I'll come to find out next time." .”

We walked one after the other, Brother Xiu followed beside me.With brother Xiu's dim light, I saw a change in the stone wall next to it. It seemed like a door frame, but it was still stone.The whole stone gate is blocked by a wall made of large stone bricks. This should be the place where the main hall is closed, right?
I inspected the wall very curiously, and found that some bricks in the lower part of the wall seemed to have just been laid in. Although the bricks were all the same, they were obviously a little looser than other places.I tried to push one of the bricks, but I didn't know whether it was because the brick was heavy or because it was stuck to the surrounding bricks, so I couldn't push it at all.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that Master Xu hadn't spoken for a long time. Before I could ask, Brother Xiu spoke first: "Xiaohan? You must have said it here, right?"
