"Well, it's a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid the curse. Now that we've reached this point, we can only climb the tall building with a helmet on and go up!" Chen Tao held up the torch and walked into the corridor first.
"Hey, hey, wait for me, you!" Haozi glanced at Ye Rong, and both of them followed him.
call......
The corridor is very deep and is surrounded by huge dark red rocks. It is not known where this stone was originally moved. There are obvious traces of artificial cracks on the stone wall. As far as the eye can see, there is a kerosene lamp embedded in the height of the stone wall every few meters, and the lamp oil inside has been burned out.
The corridor is very long, and the lighting range of the torches is limited. It is impossible to see the end. At a glance, the darkness below is straight into the heart. The three of them were close to each other, no more than an arm's length away from each other. Everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme, and they would run away immediately if there was anything wrong.
"Damn it, those gangsters didn't follow." After about ten steps, Chen Tao turned back and glanced outside. He saw the bearded man and his men constantly looking into the corridor, and no one came in. mean.
Snapped!
Seeing Chen Tao and the others stopped, Big Beard picked up his rifle and fired a shot at the top of the three men's heads. The bullet hit Chen Tao's head and shot out, creating a spark on the top of the corridor and splashing gravel. The blow on Chen Tao's face was so painful.
"Don't wait! Get in quickly!"
"I'm going to fight with them!" Haozi cursed, glanced at the bearded man outside the hole, turned his right hand, and found a long nail between his fingers.
"don't want!"
At the critical moment, Chen Tao grabbed Haozi's wrist. Haozi clutched the long nail tightly in his hand, and his teeth gritted loudly.
"Damn it, Taozi, we'll fight them!"
"Can you calm down!" Chen Tao broke out in a cold sweat. He knew Haozi's temper. He could make him so angry. It showed that he was really angry and could explode at any time.
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. We are not afraid of them, but because we are too disadvantaged now and have no chance of winning." Chen Tao took the nail from Haozi's hand and put it into his pocket, "We are now, Just endure the humiliation and bear the burden, work hard and wait for the opportunity!"
"Chen Tao is right, the more times like this, the more calm you have to be." Ye Rong also looked at Haozi seriously and said.
"I......."
As a result, Haozi felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, let's not talk about you. I am also very angry and have nowhere to vent my anger. It's just that now we have to bow our heads under the eaves!"
Chen Tao told the two of them to be more careful, and the three of them continued to go deeper along the corridor.
call.......
A thin breeze suddenly blew out from the depths of the corridor. The wind was not cool, and even felt a bit sultry, but it blew an extra layer of cold air on the person. He only felt a chill on the back of his neck and his whole body. It's a thrill.
The fine breeze is also mixed with a stuffy smell, which is very light but very obvious. It can be smelled in the nose.
There was a feeling of nausea in my body, like bacon that had been dried for many years and was stuffed in a jar.
Chen Tao swallowed, raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the dark corridor. This evil wind was very evil, making people feel indescribably weird.
"There should be vents or something like that below. Maybe the passageway was opened outside and the wind blew through the heart." Chen Tao muttered something, not only for Haozi, Ye Rong and the others, but also for himself. of.
"They seem to have come in too!" Haozi pricked up his ears, then turned his head and looked behind him, "These grandsons finally couldn't hold it any longer, they're afraid the three of us would run away."
Hearing this, Chen Tao looked back and saw torches lighting up not far behind him. Big Beard and his men also followed in. However, they did not come up directly, but met Chen Tao from a distance. They were separated by dozens of meters.
Under the flickering firelight, both sides could only see each other's flushed faces. They didn't know whether it was due to the firelight or the effect of the dark red stones in the corridor.
The corridor started with a section of stone steps, and went down to a large flat passage. Chen Tao and the others walked along this passage for a long time, and there was a section of stone stairs again under the corridor, which was larger than the one they came down at the beginning. Even steeper.
Now that people are here, the stuffiness in the air has become much less intense, and cool breezes are blowing around. Although there is a strange smell, it is much better than the scorching sun in the desert outside. It is simply a miracle that there is such a place in the depths of the inaccessible desert.
"After passing this stone staircase, we will probably reach the bottom, so be careful!" Chen Tao warned.
"It's really deep! What do you think those Tatunaans are doing digging such a deep basement under the temple to escape the heat?" Haozi said.
"Don't tell me it's really possible. Maybe there's iced Coke, iced watermelon, and cool and delicious nectar waiting for you down here!" Chen Tao blinked and said seriously.
"I wonder if you, a college student, have spent all your studies in a dog's belly. You don't have to think about it. What dynasty are the Tatunaan people from? Can they drink iced Coke?"
"If there is no ice cola, there should be ice wine. There is a cloud in the poem. There is a luminous glass of grape wine. After drinking one glass, there will be another glass. I wonder if this God of War Nala Casa is tired from fighting. Come back and enjoy the cool breeze. Let’s have a few sips of wine and feel better before we continue fighting.”
"I don't have much education, so don't lie to me. What the hell is this the same thing? I cut my butt off with a knife in a war. You still have the heart to drink?"
"Okay, okay!" Ye Rong really didn't want to hear the two of them continue to talk nonsense, so she held a torch and squeezed past Chen Tao, "Hurry down, maybe you can find something."
Seeing Ye Rong raising her feet to walk down the stone steps, Chen Tao reflexively grabbed Ye Rong's wrist.
"what are you doing?"
"Um..." Chen Tao was instantly panicked after being stared at by Ye Rong's beautiful eyes.
Is my mind filled with sand? Why are you holding this female seductress' arm when you have nothing to do?
"It's dangerous down there, I'd better leave first." Chen Tao suppressed
She blushed, but fortunately the firelight flickered around her, and everyone's face looked similar, which saved her from being embarrassed by being seen.
"Yo! Yo yo yo yo!" Hao Zi got excited and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, don't you know how to show mercy to women? What's the matter, I'm afraid that a thousand-year-old man will suddenly appear below. Did Old Xianyu hurt this beautiful girl? Then..."
Haozi had a mocking look on his face, but before he could finish his words, Ye Rong pinched his waist and ribs hard, causing him to cry out in pain.
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll kick your balls out!" Ye Rong's pretty face was slightly angry, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth again, making Chen Tao tremble in his heart.
Damn you, I almost forgot, this person next to you is also a difficult person to maintain!
Haozi was pinched several times by Ye Rong. He was so painful that he begged for mercy. He called her a good sister for mercy and called her dearer than calling her mother.
"snort!"
Ye Rong snorted coldly, glared at Haozi, and retreated behind Chen Tao with a look of astonishment on his face.
This female enchantress actually listened to her own words?
"What are you looking at? Let's go!"
"Oh...oh!" Chen Tao regained his concentration, coughed awkwardly, straightened his chest, and walked cautiously down the stone steps.
Seeing that there was no danger along the way, the bearded men and others at the back relaxed a lot and began to speed up. The two waves of people were not far apart, and soon they caught up with Chen Tao and the others.
As everyone went down, the vague stench became more and more obvious. When they reached the end of the stone steps, they saw a large porch in front of them, with two rat heads embossed on both sides. A kneeling human figure with both hands raised, holding a large stone plate, with a stone lamp on each stone plate.
In front of the porch stood twelve guard stone statues with rat heads and human bodies, about the same size as ordinary people, with stern expressions and a pair of slender eyes solemn and solemn. They were all wearing battle clothes and holding spears and axes in their hands. Symmetrically distributed.
The fire in the corridor was dim, and at first glance, I thought there was really a group of people guarding it. Chen Tao walked closer and raised his torch to light the stone lantern on one side. Although the lights inside were all extinguished, there was still a lot of solidified kerosene.
As the stone lamps lit up, everything around them became brighter. In addition to these stone statues, there were also many murals and texts carved on the stone walls around the porch.
"Damn it! These weapons are real!" Haozi knocked the battle ax in the hand of a stone statue with his hand. The dust fell, and the weapon that had been there for many years still glowed with a long cold light.
"No wonder Tatunaan can run rampant in this desert. These weapons alone show how prosperous and powerful the country was at that time." Chen Tao also touched one of the spears. The blade was sharp and the spear shaft was Carved with the God of War Nakarosa and several giant beasts that Chen Tao didn't recognize. After wiping off the dust stains on it, the entire spear did not show much rust.
These are thousands of years old objects. They have been preserved so well after so many years. If you take them out casually, they will cause quite a shock.
“These words are engraved with scriptures, they are
It is specially used to save the souls of the dead and achieve blissful rebirth. "Ye Rong touched the words carved on the stone wall of the porch and said.
While they were talking, Big Beard and the others had already arrived at the location where Chen Tao and the others were. They saw Big Beard raise his hand and four or five men surrounded him in an instant, each raising their guns and aiming at Chen Tao and the others under the porch. .
The bearded group didn't have the leisure time that Chen Tao and the others did. They just took a quick glance and saw that there were only some stone statues around them, so they ignored them. Instead, they pointed their guns at Chen Tao and the others and headed towards the porch.
The porch was about two meters deep. Chen Tao and the other three walked through the doorway, and the space behind them suddenly opened up. The light from the torch shone through, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed in shock.
"Oh my god, how many dried salted fishes are there! They are all so crowded!"
