Volume 2 Chapter 35 Blood Letter

The fat man laughed instead of getting angry. It seemed that he had already prepared a response. He said, “Of course not. There is another very important reason why I want to enter this heavenly gate. Do you know what it is?”

I said to him, “Who knows what you are selling in your gourd? You love to say no. Don’t forget that we are still in trouble. If it is something irrelevant, just forget it.”

The fat man said to me, “Don’t worry, what I’m about to say has a lot to do with our current situation. Didn’t you just hear the guy say that the walkway to the entrance is uphill, and the large room with the model of the Heavenly Palace is very high, at least a dozen meters high. Think about how deep the tomb is. I estimate that the ceiling of that room should be the top of the entire tomb. If we want to get out, we should use our brains from there!”

I I heard a light in my heart and hurriedly estimated that when I first went down to the underwater tomb passage, I had looked at the water pressure gauge, and at that time it was already 13 meters underwater. The room where the model of the Genting Palace is located is at most 10 meters from the bottom of the sea, just as the fat man said.

Just now I was so engrossed in the story that I didn’t notice these details. I couldn’t help but admire Fatso. This guy seems reckless, but in fact he’s very clear-headed. It seems that in the future, I can’t hide things from him. Thinking about this, I said to them, “Fatso is right on the mark this time, but knowing these things now won’t help. We’re unarmed. Not to mention climbing up a ten-meter-high roof, even if we climb up, we don’t have any tools in our hands. How can we get down to the upper floors? I think We still have to find some decent metal grave goods first, and implement the plan to fight back against the thieves as soon as possible. If we dawdle any longer, I’m afraid we’ll miss the low tide.”

I said Although I said this, I was actually unsure, because on the way here, I saw only porcelain and stone burial goods, not a single metal one. This seemed a bit unreasonable. I vaguely felt that maybe the tomb owner had deliberately arranged this. Now I can only go to the back hall to look for it. If I can’t find it there, then heaven really wants me dead.

The fat man laughed and said, “I’ve thought about this too. Aren’t there gilt copper mirrors with the character ‘fu’ (meaning ‘good fortune’) on all four sides of that big room? You are also antique dealers, you should know what this mirror looks like, right? We can take the legs off the mirror, it’s so heavy, it can definitely be used as a hammer.”

I just just heard the name and felt very familiar, and when he talked about it, I remembered that I had actually handled this kind of thing, but I couldn’t remember exactly what it looked like. Seeing that the fat man was speaking so confidently, it didn’t seem like he was making it up, so I couldn’t help but calm down and say to him, “That’s fine. we’ll set a date and get going right away. But when we get there, don’t touch anything. This place is full of traps. We still have a long time ahead of us. It’s not worth it to get ourselves killed over a few dead people’s things!”

The fat guy He nodded and said that he would not touch anything except the bricks. I asked him about the specific structure of the place and told him about the necessary measures to be taken in case of any problems. Then the three of us followed the plan and first found the gate to the sky. The fat man led the way, followed by the bottle, and I was in the middle, walking straight into the narrow sky road.

I had already heard about the scene in the sky road from I had already heard about the scene in the heavenly path from the story of the oil bottle, but going in myself was a different experience. At first I didn’t feel anything, just that it was a little narrow, like walking at night in the stone alley of Xitang, Jiaxing. But after walking for a while, there was no longer any boundary in front or behind, and I began to panic. I was in the middle, not afraid of the darkness, but it was too quiet. We were all wearing flippers, and the sound of our footsteps crackling in the narrow It sounded very strange in the narrow walkway, as if there was a monster following behind. The fat guy was not affected by this at all. He just complained, “Who the hell built this stone path? It’s obvious that it discriminates against us fat people. You say that the path to the heavenly gate is so shabby, and if the heavenly path is like this, Maitreya Buddha doesn’t have to go out.”

I said to him I said to him, “You can’t say that. He must have his reasons for designing it this way. This is a ship burial. There is a limit to how big a ship can be. I guess he had to save space in other places in order to highlight his own palace. And people who have been digging graves are always short and skinny. Who would have thought that a fat man could do this job.”

The fat man He was quite pleased with himself and said, “That’s right. When it comes to the Touching Gold sect, from ancient times to the present, let’s not talk about anything else. In terms of physical fitness, you, Uncle Fat, are still number one. But being fat doesn’t affect my skills at all. This is called—ouch!”

The fat man suddenly stopped moving as he spoke. I looked and saw that he had his shoulders against the stone walls on both sides and was stuck in the aisle. He laughed and said, “I told you to brag, and now you’re hitting yourself in the face.”

The fat man moved forward, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t get through. He was puzzled and said, “Xiao Wu, don’t laugh yet. It’s not right. I was walking quite smoothly just now, so why am I stuck?”

I looked around and said, “It seems that the stone path is not the same length and width. It may have been slightly wider when you first came in, but now it is gradually narrowing. You should take a few steps back and see if you can get out.”

The fat man took a few steps backwards, but it was still the same. He said, “No, no, that’s not the reason. This path is obviously narrower than before. I think there’s something strange about this wall. Xiao Wu, I’m afraid this is not a good thing.”

Just now I had been walking along the whole way without paying attention to the walls. After hearing him say that, I also felt that it seemed to have become a little narrower. So I supported each wall with my left and right hands. A strange feeling came over me, and I exclaimed, “No good, these two walls seem to be closing in!”

Muyoubing also touched the wall and nodded, saying, “It seems that there is trouble. There is no time. Let’s retreat and make plans!”

I I heard this and thought to myself, this is no laughing matter. If I get crushed by these two wall panels, I’ll probably end up like three pancakes. So I turned around and ran as fast as I could. The fat guy saw us running so fast and quickly turned around, yelling, “Wait for me, don’t just go off on your own!”

I’ve never run so fast before. I had never run so fast before, almost crawling, using almost all my strength. When I reached the exit, the two walls had obviously closed together a lot, and even I had to lean over to get through, let alone the fat guy, who could only walk sideways like a crab. Mian Youping reached out and opened the secret door. After a few attempts, he suddenly cursed and turned to me and said, “Someone outside has jammed the door shaft!”

The fat guy He turned green at the mention of it and shouted, “This damned door is now closed! You guys have to think of a way out, or else we’re all going to die today!”

I was so angry that I could feel my heart beating in my chest. I looked at the stone wall as it slowly closed in on us. It was more painful than death, but what could we do? Unless we had a miracle, there was no way out. I said, “What can we do? Just run forward. If we run fast, we might have a chance!”

Muyou Bottle grabbed me and shook his head, saying, “It’ll take at least ten minutes to get there. We’re too late. Let’s go up and take a look!” He then kicked his feet against the walls on both sides and started to climb. I looked up and saw that it was also pitch black up there, and there was no sign of it getting any wider. I didn’t know what the point of climbing up there was, but since we were here, it was better than waiting to die here, so I told the fat guy to climb up with me.

The path The path became narrower, and it was just as easy to climb as it was to walk. We climbed all the way up, and within a few minutes we had climbed more than ten meters. The fat man couldn’t help but say, “This young man is quick-witted. Now we can jump off the building before we are crushed into a pancake!

I I didn’t hear if the fat guy was being sincere, but the thought of being crushed into a meat pie made me sick. This is not a pleasant way to die. You might even hear the sound of your skull being crushed. I really would rather die from a fall than be crushed alive. At this time, the stuffy oil bottle called from above: “Don’t think too much. We still have time. Do you remember the hole under the coffin?”

The fat guy said, “Of course I remember, but what does it have to do with us?” As soon as the words he said, “I understand. You mean we should learn from his spirit and never give up until the last moment, right?”

Muyoubing said, “No, no one in the world would leave the underground palace without going through it. On the contrary, they would drill holes in the walls of the underground palace. If that’s the case, there’s only one reason. He must have encountered some kind of predicament and had to escape by drilling a hole in the underground palace wall.”

I I understood immediately and couldn’t help but be moved. I said, “You mean the person who made this hole was forced to make this hole in the same situation as we were?”

I had to admire Mian Youping’s quick thinking and I knew why he wanted to climb up. The floor and both walls were made of greenstone. Unless there was dynamite, there was no way to make a hole. The only possible place to start was where you couldn’t see the ceiling.

While we were talking We had already climbed to the top, and then there was a layer of blue bricks. I knocked on it and was overjoyed. We were right. It was hollow. This kind of brick can be pressed but not chiseled. With the right tools, it should be very easy to make a hole. But I looked around and saw nothing but darkness. I couldn’t see the thief’s hole. The fat man said, “Oh no, little brother, you said this stone path is so long. What if he hits the entrance at the end of the walkway?”

Muyou Bottle said: “Anyone in this situation will definitely run to the exit first, and only when they find that the exit door is stuck will they use the forced method of hitting the thief’s hole. So the thief’s hole must be near here. If he hits the other side, we will only have to accept it.” This was very convincing. Me and Fatso nodded in agreement and started searching around the edges. At this point, my situation with the oil bottle was still okay, as I could still put a fist in front of and behind me while leaning sideways. Fatso was already almost at his limit, and could only move in this gap by shrinking his stomach. I could see that this was putting a lot of pressure on him. reassured him, saying that the compression ratio of fat is still very high, and as long as the wall does not hit your bones, it is not a problem. He listened and his face turned pale, waving his hand and telling me to stop talking nonsense.

We We started from the outside and crawled inwards for more than ten meters, but we didn’t find anything. In fact, crawling sideways is more exhausting than climbing up. My feet were already starting to go limp, and I almost slipped down several times. I knew that if the two walls closed in a little more, my knees would be unable to bend my knees, and it would be even more difficult to move. It was dark in front of me, and I didn’t know where the hole was. If it was really as Muxiyouping said, and if the other end of the corridor was there, I really wouldn’t know how to face this death.

If I had known I would have been better off being bitten to death by a sea monkey. People say that the ghost of the rice dumpling is terrifying, but now I would rather encounter a dozen rice dumplings than be crushed to death here without a way out.

At this At this moment, the mummy in front suddenly shone a flashlight at me, signaling us to come over. The fat guy and I thought we had finally found it, and we were overjoyed. We hurriedly squeezed over to him, and when we looked up, we were stunned. On the blue bricks above our heads, there was a line of blood-red characters: “Wu Sanxing harmed me, I had nowhere to turn, I died unjustly, heaven and earth are my witnesses – solve the mystery.”

I was shocked, and I thought to myself, this isn’t a martial arts novel. I asked, “What does this… mean? Who is this who is this person? Why is it said that Uncle San harmed him?”

Muyoubing said, ‘This Xie Lianhuan is also a member of the archaeological team, the one who died on the coral reef with the snake-browed bronze fish in his hand.’

I let out a sound, and my mind was in a mess again. Muyoubing pushed me and said, ‘Since he left a message here and was not crushed to death here, it means that the cave must be nearby. Now there is no time to think about what he meant. Let’s move on.’

I I climbed a few steps and suddenly remembered that Xie Lianhuan, that name was so familiar, it seemed like I had heard my grandfather mention it.
