This should be the first time this happened in his memory.
The training for the gold-touching sect is: Don’t touch the gold when the rooster crows and the lights go out. This is a bit of a mystery. It just means that the incoming people have disturbed the tomb owners, giving them a little shock and making them retreat in the face of difficulties.
From a scientific point of view, the oxygen concentration in the confined space is too low and it is no longer suitable to stay here.
But for Lin Yi, this was an abnormal event after all.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Just as he picked up the candle and was about to light it again, he heard a dull sound starting not far away.
"Zi, Zhi, Zhi~~~"
The sound sounded like someone was dragging something heavy and rubbing it on the ground.
"Old Lin, did you hear that?"
Wang Qiang shouted softly towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi hummed softly, clicked his hand, and pressed the lighter button.
As soon as the fire appeared, the voice disappeared immediately.
Lin Yi held up the lighter and looked around, but found nothing strange. In the distance, he could only see the outline of the pavilion-like coffin room, and could not see anything else clearly.
He held the lighter and paused for a while. The plastic parts on the lighter were almost burned, but the sound never appeared again.
"It's okay, don't be surprised all the time."
Saying this, he placed the candle on the flame and lit it again.
This time he used a lighter to toast the cotton wick of the candle for a while, and heard a subtle popping sound coming from the candle head.
"I said, why did this thing go out? The candle end was soaked in water for a long time."
Lin Yi took a long breath and placed the candle in the southeast corner. After watching it burn completely, he just turned around and saw a person standing straight behind him.
"Fuck, you fucking want to scare me to death?"
When he saw it was Qian Sheng, Lin Yi cursed and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, he stood on the spot, as if his whole body was electrified.
Qian Sheng had just walked around the Gate of Hell. He was so weak that it was difficult to stand up. How did he get to his side?
When he thought of this, Lin Yi subconsciously went to look for weapons in his backpack, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Qian Sheng beside him suddenly disappeared again.
Then in the faint candlelight, Wang Qiang could be seen sitting Qian Sheng down, taking out a piece of compressed biscuit and giving it to him. Wukong also squatted next to him very sensibly, waiting to be fed.
Lin Yi was confused: Could he be hungry? All hallucinations!
Thinking about it this way, I really felt empty in my stomach, so I walked up to them in a few steps:
"Leave a mouthful for me. By the way, where did that sound come from just now?"
Wang Qiang looked at Lin Yi with a blank expression, stretched out his hand and handed a piece of compressed biscuit to his hand.
"What sound? Why didn't I hear it?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid with me. Just now you were the first to ask me if I heard a sound."
"I'm asking you? When did I ask you? Hey, Shopkeeper Qian can testify. We just watched you go to the corner to light candles. Shopkeeper Qian said he was a little hungry, so I dug out something to eat from my bag without talking to you. ah."
Qian Sheng on the side nodded slightly.
"That's right, Mr. Lin, the two of us were really silent. Mr. Wang carried me all the way here. I told him to put me down and rest for a while, and I didn't say anything again. Maybe you misunderstood."
Did you get it wrong?
Lin Yi couldn't help but reached out and took out his ears.
"What's wrong with me? Is it an auditory hallucination or a visual hallucination?"
Wang Qiang sat down on the ground and chewed compressed biscuits.
"Tell me, what did you hear just now? What did you see again?"
Lin Yi raised the compressed biscuit and took a bite.
"I went over there to light the candle first, but it didn't light up the first time. As soon as the candle went out, I heard the sound of something heavy rubbing against the ground, as if someone was dragging something. Then I heard you ask me, Did you hear any movement?
Then I pressed the lighter and the sound disappeared immediately.
Then I put down the candles and was about to come over to find you when I saw Shopkeeper Qian standing behind me. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared again. "
Wang Qiang gathered the compressed biscuit crumbs in the palm of his hand, poured it into his mouth, and said with unfinished meaning:
"You are just hungry. You may be a little hypoglycemic. I was so hungry just now that I felt dizzy. Just take a few mouthfuls of cushion and I'll be fine."
Lin Yi nodded, gulped down the compressed biscuits in several mouthfuls, then tilted his neck back and drank half a bottle of mineral water.
You don’t need to eat a lot of compressed biscuits. Just eat a small piece and drink a sip of water. You will feel full.
"I've never found this delicious, but this time is an exception."
Lin Yi clapped his hands, knocked off the residue on his hands, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"You're a bit wasteful. I should have known I wouldn't have given you so much."
Wang Qiang looked like he wasn't full.
"Gone?"
"Isn't it gone? I rummaged through the box and found a pack like this, and it cost us four cents. Tell me, in those big vats, it would be great if there were pickled pickles, crispy radish strips, and two pieces of sweet garlic. , and some more cowpeas, lotus flowers are white, tsk tsk tsk, it smells really good."
"What are you thinking about? How about I give you some aged liquor in that vat, and you can have a few drinks with the pickles? In the other vat, I'll simmer the hooves for you."
"Oh, that's great!"
Wang Qiang became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
The two of them were getting excited when they were suddenly interrupted by Qian Sheng's voice.
"Masters, did you just say how many large tanks there are in this main tomb?"
Qian Sheng had just been concentrating with his eyes closed and didn't pay attention to what was in the tomb.
After eating and drinking for a while, I heard their conversation and immediately jumped in and asked.
"Yes, four large jars. They are almost as big as my waist. They formed a circle outside the stone coffin. I don't know what is in there. Could it be gold, silver and jewelry?"
As soon as these valuable things were mentioned, Wang Qiang dismissed the matter of starvation.
Unexpectedly, when Qian Sheng heard this, his eyes widened and his arms trembled, trying to push himself up from the ground.
"Go, go quickly! Get out of here!"
Seeing Qian Sheng's reaction, Wang Qiang and Lin Yi looked at each other, quickly lifted Qian Sheng up and rushed out of the tomb door.
Then I saw a square door stone suddenly falling from the top of the tomb door.
It almost touched the tip of the noses of the three of them and fell down. Wang Qiang's feet were just two centimeters away from the stone.
If hit, his foot would be destroyed on the spot.
"Back off, there's more up there!"
Lin Yi used both hands to hold the two of them and quickly took half a step back.
Several top door stones fell one after another from the top of the head, sealing the entire "Duanmen".
These top door stones are square and square, like sleepers.
But the weight of each stone bar must be calculated in tons at least, not to mention that the three of them cannot move an inch in their current state.
Even if the three of them had enough to eat and drink, and had tools, they wouldn't be able to pry open these door stones.
The voice Lin Yi heard just now appeared again.
This time, all three of them really listened.
