Chapter 368 Pathfinder
I caught a handful of sulfur and showed it to No. 12 and said, "It seems that someone wanted to blow up here but failed?"
12 frowned and said, "It may also be the explosives used when opening the channel. Because the hole collapsed, the explosives that had not burned out leaked and were scattered in the channel."
"No!" At this time, No. 2 said, "How much explosive do you think it takes to blow up a hole?" The ground is full of these powders, which shows that the amount of explosives was particularly large, so I support 10.
"Then who on earth wants to blow down this channel? What's the reason?" I said.
No.2 narrowed his eyes and said, "This doesn't matter, right? Maybe they found the danger in the tomb, so they wanted to blow up the tomb so that others would not come in and be killed.
I nodded and said, "It should be right. Anyway, there must be great danger hidden in this ancient tomb."
After saying this, we continued to move forward, but we were a little cautious.
This channel is not narrow, about two meters wide, and the steps are not steep. It is inclined down at a 45-degree angle.
It's just that there is a strange place in this passage, that is, there is no place to put lamps. Only a small hole will appear at a distance from the wall, and I don't know what lighting was placed before.
Experienced tomb robbers can see the age of the ancient tomb from the bricks on the wall, and some can even see the approximate identity of the tomb owner.
Generally, such a large tomb is exquisite on the wall tiles, but I think this tomb brick is simple and unpretentious, and the surface is very rough. I don't know whether it has been weathered or has no carved patterns in the first place.
In the past, when I went to the grave with Nobita, because they were all insiders, I could also discuss why the tomb bricks were like this, but now they are all laymen, and I can't find someone to talk to. I'm confused.
We walked down silently, because we wanted to catch up with the pace of the big column, so we walked very fast and soon came to a corner of the channel.
From this corner of about 30 degrees, the corridor below begins to soften, but it still goes straight forward.
Although our vision is not particularly good, we can also see that there is a tomb door at the end of this straight passage in front of us.
I was about to see if there was anything special about the tomb gate when I said on the 12th, "You see, this straight passage is different from the one that fell at first. The color of the wall brick seems to have changed."
My thoughts were interrupted by his words and hurriedly looked at the wall tiles next to me. Sure enough, I found that the wall tiles here were all gray.
And there is also a pattern on the brick, which seems to be a bird pattern.
Because we didn't want to go down to the ground at all, there was no lighting in our box.
So I said to No. 2, "Can you bring the light source closer? I want to see what is painted on this wall tile."
Of course, No.2 has no problem with this, so he gathered the fire spark in his hand and lit it up for me.
At this time, I saw a simplified bird totem painted on the wall, which loomed in the fog, surrounded by a round of sun and a bright moon, which looked ancient and mysterious.
Unexpectedly, the unlucky man on the 12th actually said, "How do you know, what if they have fallen into the hole and died?"
I poohed and said, "How do you talk? Their father and son are pitiful enough, and you still say so."
No. 12 curled his lips and stopped talking.
I know that Dazhu's attitude towards us has not been very good before, and it's really unpleasant to grow up like that, so I guess I don't have a good impression on them on the 12th.
While talking, the ghost had run to the front of the tomb door along the straight passage in front of him, safe and sound all the way.
I didn't see any traps, so I said, "I guess it's not dangerous. Let's go quickly."
2 shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, maybe it's just because the ghost's weight is relatively light, so he didn't touch the mechanism."
No.12 said, "That's easy. I'll do it. Even if there is any danger, I can change my position."
No.2 thought for a moment and said, "Well, if there is really any danger, change your position with me."
No.12 was stunned for a moment and obviously wanted to refute, but looking at the resolute expression of No. 2, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay!"
At this time, I squeezed my eyes on No. 12. He seemed to see me and gave me a thumbs up.
I know that even if there is only one life left on the 2nd, it is still very strong. I want to do everything first.
But if he really folds here, we will lose the hope of fighting against the Toad King. When the Toad King and the black duel occurs, the villagers in ten miles and eight townships will die, so we must protect No. 2 now.
No.12 walked step by step in the direction of the ghost and carefully stepped on the stone bricks on the ground.
As long as the stone brick is loose or the sound is wrong, he immediately shrinks his neck and stops moving under his feet, which can be said to be very careful.
However, it seems that there is no danger along the way.
In the gap between his exploration, I saw that there were actually some small holes in the wall, but it didn't seem to be the opening of the arrows, but like the decoration we saw before, I don't know what it was for.
In a blink of an eye, No. 12 is about to walk to the ghost.
But suddenly at this time, the ghost began to scream for some reason, and then danced and jumped around.
No. 2 and I were shocked. I don't know what's wrong with the ghost.
This situation lasted for three or four seconds, and No. 2 said nervously, "Dead monkey, are you convulsive?"
The ghost turned a deaf ear and continued to dance and scream.
When I saw this scene on the 12th not far away, I was so nervous that I didn't dare to move, and my face was full of inexplicableness.
At this time, the fire used for lighting in No. 2 suddenly made a squeak, as if it had burned something floating in the air.
When we looked at the light source at the same time, we found that some small particles were flying around the industry. From time to time, one or two of them hit Mars and made a creak.
"Are those sulfur and saltpeters floating up? Is there wind here?" I asked strangely.
No.2 almost frowned and said to me, "No, the karma fire will only burn until it burns something alive. These are not ordinary powders. Be careful!"
While he was talking, suddenly the No. 12 in front said, "Huh? I know why ghosts dance!"
