"What? Did I just take out my mobile phone?" I asked in surprise. "What happened just now? I...how did I..."
At this moment, the scenes I had experienced before, the people I met, and the incredible events that happened collided back and forth in my mind, making it almost impossible for me to distinguish between reality and reality. Another fantasy.
My head hurts more and more, as if another ten thousand wild horses are trampling over my head.
I curled up on the ground and gasped for air, hoping to use this method to relieve the pain, but to no avail.
In the darkness, Xiong Ming didn't seem to realize my pain. He stood aside and kicked me and said, "I said Hu Tian, what's wrong with you? Why are you taking out your phone? This is Are you going to show off your new Nokia to the thousand-year-old rice dumpling here, right? Or are you going to ask the thousand-year-old rice dumpling here for his phone number, and then send him a text message or something if you have nothing to do?"
Hua Muling interrupted Xiong Ming's words in a deep voice and said word by word: "When are you still thinking of joking? Let's see how Hu Tian is doing first!"
After saying that, Hua Muling slowly knelt down and carefully groped in the darkness for a while before she touched my body.
Hua Muling slowly lifted me up, let my head rest on her arm, and asked softly: "Hu Tian, how do you feel? What happened just now?"
I gasped for air, and it took a long time for the suffocating headache to ease. I gritted my teeth and said word by word: "I...I seem to have experienced a lot of things just now, and I don't know what those things are." It's reality... Those are illusions... Everything is too real... Even now, I am still in the illusion... or have returned to reality... I can't tell..."
After Hua Muling heard what I said, she suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "Could this be..."
Xiong Ming asked on the side: "What is it?"
Hua Muling said: "Is this the reason why the one-eyed old man said that no matter what you experience in the corridor, you should not believe it?"
Xiong Ming said from the side: "Fourth girl, don't say it, I seem to have really heard the old guy say this."
Hua Muling continued word by word: "Illusion! An illusion that exists like reality! People can't tell whether it is reality, and they are still in the illusion. Those with slightly weaker mental strength will be directly trapped in the illusion. You can never wake up again. Even if a person with stronger mental strength wakes up, he will question whether he is still in the illusion. In the end..."
Xiong Ming hurriedly asked: "What happened in the end?"
I patted my head on the side with my hand, and then gasped and said, "In the end, I was tortured and went crazy."
After I finished speaking, I took a deep breath and said in a slightly thankful tone: "Fortunately, Master, I woke up. Fortunately..."
Just before I finished speaking, there was suddenly a harsh metallic friction sound from the dark corridor as the gears rotated.
The sound made one's teeth ache involuntarily, but it appeared in such a dark and narrow corridor, which was so strange that it sent chills down one's back.
I asked hurriedly: "What is this sound?"
Hua Muling shook her head and said, "I don't know! Just after you made that little light, this sound started."
Xiong Ming added from the side: "Not only that, this sound seems to be getting closer and closer."
I asked in surprise: "Getting closer? What does this mean?"
Xiong Ming said: "To put it another way, that thing seems to have been following us since we entered here, and when you get that little bit of light, it starts to become extremely active."
I frowned and said, "Is this why the one-eyed old guy didn't let us get some light here?"
Hua Muling said: "Maybe! But now is not the time to think about those things."
As soon as Hua Muling finished speaking, the tooth-searing friction sound suddenly came over again. Sure enough, this time it sounded like it was closer to us.
After hearing this voice, Hua Muling began to urge: "Hu Tian, how do you feel now? Can you leave?"
I shook my head vigorously, and the headache that made me want to die was relieved a lot, so I gritted my teeth and stood up and said, "No problem! Let's go! This is not a place to stay for a long time. What's the matter?" Let’s talk about it after we get out.”
Hearing what I said, Hua Muling nodded and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, Hua Muling roughly figured out the direction in the darkness, and then took a step forward, but at this moment, Xiong Ming suddenly shouted from behind: "Hey, I told the fourth girl to wait first!"
Hua Muling was stunned, turned around and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Xiong Ming asked seriously: "Fourth girl, do you still remember how many steps we have taken?"
Hua Muling thought for a while and said affirmatively: "Of course I remember!"
After saying that, Hua Muling turned around and walked forward first.
Since we have no ability to see in the dark, each of us puts our hands on the shoulders of the person in front of us, just like the game we played in childhood when we were riding a train. Hua Muling walked in the front, I was in the middle, and Xiong After the clear decision.
Hua Muling walked forward step by step in the darkness. She walked slowly, as if she had to make a lot of determination every step she took.
I have experienced the oppressive feeling brought by darkness more than once, and I also clearly know the almost desperate thoughts in Hua Muling's heart at this time.
"They say that there is nothing in this world that two people can really relate to."
There is nothing wrong with this, but it is not entirely correct.
I opened my mouth, wanting to say something to Hua Muling, but I didn't know where to start, so I had to give up.
The three of us walked forward in silence. Apart from the breathing of the three of us in the invisible corridor, there was the harsh friction sound that would appear every few minutes.
Depressed, extremely depressed, a kind of depression that can make people suffocate.
A few minutes later, I suddenly heard Hua Muling in front of me say, "We're here!"
"Are we here?" Xiong Ming and I almost said in surprise after hearing Hua Muling's words.
Hua Muling nodded and said: "Twenty-seven... forty-seven... seventy-six... If what the one-eyed old man said is correct, then this is the exit."
After saying that, Hua Muling stretched out her left hand and slapped the wall on the left three times.
After three heavy knocks, there was a sudden "click" half a meter in front of us. Then, the original stone wall suddenly rose up, and as the stone wall rose, there was a burst of decay. The wind of breath blew in my face.
Xiong Ming covered his mouth and nose with his hands and cursed in a deep voice: "What the hell is this place?"
I also covered my mouth and nose with my hands to prevent myself from inhaling air containing microorganisms and causing me to contract lung infections.
After a while, he felt that the putrid smell was much lighter, and then he slowly said: "It's so dark, who knows where this is? However, smelling the putrid smell all over the room, if nothing else happens It should be the main tomb.”
Xiong Ming cursed: "Grandma! After all this effort, I finally found the main tomb."
Hua Muling poured cold water on the side and said, "You can only know if it's the main tomb by going to see it first."
I nodded and said, "Fourth girl is right. Let's not speculate here. We have to go in to find out whether this is the place called Wang Meng."
After saying that, the three of us groped through the raised stone wall and walked into the still dark stone room ahead.
And just after the three of us stepped into the stone room, the stone wall behind us suddenly fell down again with a clang.
Xiong Ming was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned around to pat the stone wall, and even used his hands to press the gap left under the stone wall, hoping to open the stone wall.
However, no matter how much Xiong Ming tried, the fallen stone wall remained motionless.
After struggling for three to five minutes, Xiong Ming finally gave up. He slumped down on the ground and gasped, "I told you two to come over and help me! I'm alone here." Are you two embarrassed to be struggling here? Aren't you worried that you will never get out again? "
I frowned and said, "Although this stone wall is not strictly a dragon-breaking stone, the sound it made the moment it fell just now weighs about three hundred pounds. Even if you are When Lu Zhishen is alive, he is the reincarnation of Li Yuanba, so it would be difficult to move it away with bare hands."
Xiong Ming sat on the ground and cursed: "You kid already knew this, why didn't you stop me?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I can stop that bad temper of yours!"
And at this moment, suddenly the left and right sides of the originally dark tomb suddenly lit up with a little light.
The light flickered, bright but not dazzling, it was the light of an oil lamp.
Two o'clock, four o'clock, six o'clock...ten o'clock...fourteen o'clock...
In an instant, countless oil lamps lit up on both sides of the tomb.
The light from the oil lamp flickered and danced, illuminating the entire tomb as brightly as day.
I looked around the tomb and found that the tomb was very large, as big as an entire basketball court, and the overall shape was boxy.
The entire tomb has three floors, with the center being the lowest and the periphery being the highest. We are currently located to the east of the periphery, and in the center of the tomb hangs a black iron chain as thick as an adult's calf. The iron chain is very long and extends all the way to the top. When it reaches the ceiling, the lower end is tied to a large black coffin in the center of the tomb.
I couldn't help but frown when I saw the big black coffin locked with iron chains.
Hua Muling noticed the subtle changes in my expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
I shook my head and said, "It's okay! I've seen this coffin in the fantasy world before!"
Hua Muling said in surprise: "What? Have you seen this coffin?"
I nodded, said nothing more, and turned my attention to other parts of the tomb.
