Chapter 291 The noble man appears
The number of branches in the tunnel changed from three to five, which originally meant that it became more complicated. Yan Xing also studied it carefully. When he first heard the little Lolita say that there was an intruder, he was a little unable to react at first.
Intruder Intruder…
Little Loli's words were swirling in his mind, and his eyes were still scanning the five tunnel entrances. After about half a minute, his thinking paused: "Little Loli, do you think there are others?"
When Le Yun said there was an intruder, she calmly turned on her hearing and smell, listened to the noise in the tunnel, and could tell how far the other intruder had gone from the smell left in the air. After a while, she almost heard Handsome Yan's reply. I want to say something to him, but his reflex arc is really long.
"Yeah."
"Are there really grave robbers?"
"How did you know he was a tomb robber?"
How come handsome guy Yan is so sure that he is a tomb robber? What if he accidentally fell in like they did?
"If you're not a thief, why would you come to a tomb like this?"
"According to what you say, you are also a tomb robber?"
"I was just passing by." Yan Xing finally understood why the little Loli's tone was a bit harsh. The reason was that he and she were also in the underground tomb. He said that the people who came to the maze were all tomb robbers, which included them.
Le Yun stopped arguing with handsome guy Yan, and was more serious with Yan Ren. The only one who was angry was herself. She listened around and heard no vibration, which meant that the person had gone far away and there was no need to reconnoiter.
She didn't have much curiosity. Whether it was a tomb robber or someone who entered by mistake, there were only three possibilities for entering the Jiuqu Corridor: First, there were professionals who could find the route to the Shengmen Gate or the route to the center of the array. Then, No matter what, she and they will meet eventually.
Secondly, if those people don’t have enough food and can’t find a way out, they will only be trapped and die.
Third, uh, that refers to very unlucky people who make improper choices and accidentally enter the door of death. They step on the mechanism and are killed in minutes, or they accidentally enter the center of the mechanism, trigger the mechanism to change the formation, and finally trap themselves in the ecstasy. There is no way out in the corridor, and the ending is still a dead end.
Therefore, Le Yun had no intention of looking for other intruders. If there was no danger, she would take the other intruders out when she retreated. If there was danger, of course she would grease her soles and run away.
Don't blame her for being cold-blooded. After all, saving people is out of a humanitarian spirit, not a legal obligation. From a moral point of view, there is a moral obligation to save people, but from a legal point of view, there is no obligation to save others.
What's more, she is the only daughter of the Le family, and she has a father and a new mother to support. If something happens to her, it will be difficult for her father to survive without mental support.
The others have gone to nowhere, so what are they waiting for?
Le Yun no longer hesitated, held her head high, and headed straight for the first tunnel on the left.
The little Lolita was in a trance, taking the lead and vowing not to look back. Naturally, Yan Xing followed her lead without hesitation and ran along without stopping.
The two of them either go in tandem or go hand in hand, passing through the intricate and endless tunnels, seeing and missing each other, and enjoying it.
The tunnel, which has not seen the light of day for many years, is cold and empty. Occasionally, water seeps out in some places, and stalactites are condensed. In some places, there are even tiny moss, and in other places, a layer of white dust is condensed. If someone observes carefully, , maybe you can find that there are actually murals carved on the stone walls.
However, due to countless years of vicissitudes, the carvings on the murals are light and the pictures are hidden in the color of the stone wall, making it difficult to reveal the true face. The tunnel looks like it has been dug neatly.
In a tunnel, four backpackers were walking like ghosts, each carrying a large black backpack and wearing waterproof and moisture-proof black hiking clothes.
All four of them are men, one of them is about fifty years old, relatively voluptuous, with a shy beer belly, holding a small mahogany sword in one hand and a compass in the other. They lead the way and occasionally mutter something to each other, but there is no one there. Listen clearly to what he is reciting.
The other three are all between thirty and forty years old, two are neither fat nor thin, and one has a Chinese-character face, which is relatively fair and gives the impression of an intellectual.
One is a dark-faced man, as if he has been exposed to the sun all year round. He is swarthy, a healthy red-black color.
The other one is a thin man, the shortest among the four. People say that concentration is the essence.
The four people's faces were slightly pale, their lips were scorched, and they looked a bit like they were dehydrated. Their hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and there was a layer of grease. Their hairstyles were also messy. Everyone had a blue shadow around their eyes, which was obviously due to lack of sleep. There were also bloodshot eyes, which made him look even more tired.
The group of people was not walking fast. The old man with a beer belly had strong steps. The man with black face and the thin young man were short of breath and had weak steps. The man with white face felt more top-heavy and his steps were frivolous.
Two of the four of them had their headlamps on, illuminating the road. As they walked together in the empty tunnel, the sound of footsteps of different weights echoed, giving people a feeling of being alone in the apocalypse.
The long darkness has no edge, and five more tunnels appear in front of the tunnel.
The four of them walked slowly to the fork they needed to choose. The old man with a beer belly faced the tunnel in the middle, adjusted his compass, and analyzed the direction and angle. Soon, he selected the lucky direction and walked into the second tunnel on the right.
The three men behind him followed closely and walked into another endless long road.
"Master Ao, can we... really make it out?"
The long blackness infects the surroundings, and also infects people's hearts, and the voice of the speaker is filled with despair.
They have been walking for five days, and every time they thought that the end of the tunnel would be the exit. However, the reality is always so cruel, the end of the tunnel is still a tunnel, endless.
Five days, not five hours, five whole days. I don’t know how far I have walked, but I am still in the tunnel. You can imagine how much pressure everyone has in their hearts. It is so great that people are about to collapse and despair.
Do you really want to be trapped in this strange place for no apparent reason?
Everyone's emotions are on the verge of collapse, but their hope for life keeps them strong. They tell themselves over and over again that they will get out, and they will definitely get out!
"Four eyes, we will definitely be able to get out."
"Four eyes, don't worry, we will definitely find Shengmen."
Before Master Ao spoke, Monkey Spirit and Black Potou comforted Si Yan. Si Yan was the nickname of the fair-skinned man. He originally wore glasses, so he was jokingly called Si Yan.
Monkey King is the nickname of a short and thin man. He is lean, short, and as agile as a monkey. People in the industry call him Monkey King. Men with black faces are euphemistically called black pot heads because they are born with dark complexions that never look white no matter how much they are taken care of. They look like the bottom of a blackened pot.
Master Ao is a person in the world, nicknamed Yi Gua Ling. When he helps people tell fortunes, read Feng Shui, etc., he only predicts one hexagram and never two hexagrams.
The four of them are not old acquaintances. Four Eyes, Black Pot Head, and Monkey Spirit are old acquaintances and part of a team. Master Ao is an explorer who works alone. They meet in an accident while exploring an ancient tomb and form a temporary team. Team.
Four people mistakenly stepped on a mechanism in an ancient tomb and fell into an underground river. They were washed to a shoal and then found a tunnel. They walked into the tunnel to find a way out, but ended up trapped in it.
Now, five days have passed, and the tunnel is still endless. Because there is not enough food and water, the hope of Siyan is being wiped out bit by bit, and the hope of survival becomes increasingly slim.
Although the monkey spirit and the black pot head no longer have much hope of getting out of the maze, they still try to calm themselves down and comfort their companions. They cannot be confused. If their minds are confused and their power to survive disappears, there is really no hope.
"Brother, don't panic, we can get out."
Master Ao also understood the mood of his companion, and walked forward without looking back, explaining as he went: "I made a calculation when I was washed here by the water. Even though I went through a lot of hardships on this trip, there were no dangers. Once the opportunity comes, flowers will bloom on the willow bank.”
"Master, when will the time come? It will be evening soon."
The black pot head held a dark face, and he was a little weak.
"The opportunity should be with the monkey spirit brothers. The monkey spirit brothers are destined to meet a noble person today at the time of fortune. With the blessings and blessings of the noble person to protect us, we will definitely turn the bad luck into good luck and have a bright future."
Four Eyes heard that monkey spirits are lucky to have noble people, and when they meet noble people, they can turn bad luck into good luck. The decadent spirit was lifted, and there was motivation in the heart. The feet felt lighter, and walking was no longer as heavy as lead.
"Am I lucky enough to be a noble person?" Monkey Spirit was stunned. He was just an ordinary person who ran a small business to support his family. He had not made a lot of money or suffered a lot of losses in these years. Generally speaking, he could afford to support his family. As for the so-called noble people, he had not met any so-called noble people. Been there.
"You have." Master Ao smiled meaningfully: "A noble person does not necessarily mean someone who can bring you great wealth and wealth, and the luck of a noble person does not mean that you will embark on the road to wealth and wealth from now on. Whose luck can you borrow? The thing that allows you to avoid disasters is your luck. The person who can keep you safe and sound, whether he is an official, a farmer, or a passerby, is your noble person. ”
"Oh." The monkey spirit understood that noble people are not judged by status, but by whether they can borrow someone's blessings to protect them at that time.
"Master Ao, it's already four twenty-three in the afternoon."
Shen Shi, that is, from 3 to 5 pm, to 4:23 pm, which is also the end of Shen Shi. How can I meet a noble person in such a small amount of time?
Besides, this is a tunnel that goes an unknown number of meters underground. Who would come here? If you meet a noble person, is it possible that that person will fall from the sky?
Heiguotou half-believes in numerology and the like. People like him have a very special nature of work. To put it bluntly, he is a back-fighter, and to put it more ugly, he is a tomb robber. He follows some old traditions of back-fighting and does not know how to Accept death.
It is inherently unethical to fight someone upside down. If you dig someone's grave, according to numerology, you will get retribution from the owner of the tomb. However, with so many people fighting upside down, how many of them will suffer retribution?
Not many people suffered retribution, but quite a few got rich overnight. Even if some were caught, it was because they were greedy and did not know how to stop, so they were exposed.
Those who made a lot of money died in a miserable state in the end. This was purely due to poor management of the family, causing family members to fight for the family property, or due to their own extravagance.
Therefore, Heiguotou sees clearly and does not despise the charlatans and feng shui warlocks. He believes in the charlatans and does not blindly believe in the charlatans and feng shui warlocks as if they were gods.
Master Ao heard the implication of Heiguotou's words and knew that he didn't believe his words very much and didn't explain much. He was very confident in his divination. The divination predicted that the monkey spirit would have luck for a noble person that day, and the auspicious time should be at Shen Shi. Then, when the time comes, Time will tell.
Master Ao stopped talking. Monkey Spirit and Black Potou kept their strength and followed Master to the other end of the long tunnel.
Yan Shuaiguo and Le Xiao, who were both walking in the maze tunnel, passed through forks one after another without any rush, and their speed was several times faster than Master Ao and his group.
Yan Xing followed the little Loli at a trot. When he found other intruders, the Little Loli said that he should speed up and rush to the center of the formation before evening to avoid accidents. As a military man, he had a lot of physical strength. Yes, running thousands of miles with a heavy load is a piece of cake, so he carried a lightweight backpack and trotted along effortlessly.
Not to mention Le Xiao, if she hadn't been taking care of Handsome Yan, she would have turned on the running mode and run forward by herself.
Walking through another fork in the road where she could choose one of five, Le Yun's sensitive nose captured the smells she had captured before. The smells scattered in the air rushed into her nose. Her brain was spinning at high speed like the dehydration barrel of a washing machine, analyzing and analyzing details. data.
With just a click of a finger, the information from the smell feedback to the brain analysis was finalized. There were four foreign intruders, all of whom were injured and had wounds on their bodies. Moreover, some of the wounds may not have been treated in time and had suppurated.
After collecting the information, Le Yun frowned and guessed based on the smell that the four were not too far away from them. If there was no accident, the two sides would meet on the way.
"Yan people, other intruders also entered this tunnel."
In order not to scare Handsome Yan when he suddenly saw someone, out of humanitarian spirit, classmate Le Xiao gave Handsome Yan a friendly reminder.
"Hey, you said others are there too?"
Yan Xing ran and ran with the little Loli. He was very surprised when he heard the little Loli mention the other people who had run into the maze again. Wasn't it? Other people had also arrived. Could it be possible that they would meet face to face?
To be honest, he doesn't want to meet other people, whether they are enemies or friends. Enemies may have to fight, but fighting is not terrible. What he hesitates about is whether to use all his strength when fighting with others, or whether he has the courage to fight with others. reserved?
If he meets an ordinary person, he may have to go on the same journey. He doesn’t want to team up with others. It’s just him and Xiao Loli. They share food when they are hungry and drink water when they are thirsty. His food is very willing to be given to Xiao Luo. Li chose others, who were strangers. He was not willing to contribute the small amount of dry food he brought to irrelevant people.
Generally speaking, knowing that he might meet other people, Young Master Yan was in a depressed and unhappy mood. He couldn't let the little loli mind her own business. If he had the power to dictate the little loli's affairs, he would definitely tell him no matter who he met. Ignore whoever they are, everyone takes their own Yangguan Road and crosses their own single-plank bridge.
"Well, let's go, maybe we'll meet him." Le Yunyun ran away calmly.
Young Master Yan had to keep up with the little Lolita's footsteps. The two of them jogged for a while, and sure enough they saw a bright light flickering in the darkness ahead.
Just when they saw the bright light looming, at the other end of the tunnel, Master Ao, who was leading the way, also saw a faint light in the distance, and was overjoyed: "Brother Monkey Spirit, your nobleman has appeared!"
