Chapter 18: The Cave


The voice of the chant was very subtle, ethereal, as if it were far away in the sky.

And at this time the shaking of the earth continued, and the fat man and I were almost in an earthquake, and where could we afford to listen to this difficult song.

The fat man was still in an emotional breakdown, and even when we were in danger of falling deep into the cracks, he was indifferent.

I had no choice but to continue to hold him with one hand and grab desperately to both sides with the other, trying to catch something that would slow down the downward trend, so as not to fall so directly and kill us.

After many strokes, I finally grabbed something that resembled the roots of a tree, and the fat man and I paused in mid-air, but unfortunately the fat man was too heavy, and before we could stabilize our bodies, the roots were torn off, and we continued to fall down.

Luckily, not long after this fall, I felt my body slow down, and instead of rolling straight up and down like before, it felt like I had rolled on a slope.

After a while, there was a "bang" in front of me, and the fat man seemed to have hit something, and before I could react, I also bumped into the fat man, and then finally stopped.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything, and there were crumbs of earth and rocks rolling down from behind and hitting me.

I didn't know where I was at the moment, but I also knew that it was still out of danger, I gasped for breath and gritted my teeth to get up, but the pain in my body made my limbs weak, and I finally got up, and was about to call the fat man, but suddenly felt my leg go weak and fell to the ground again.

This time I had no energy at all, and my head was still blackened for a while, and I couldn't move anymore.

There was still the sound of sand and stones rolling around, but it was much calmer than before, and faintly, the ethereal chant of the previous could still be heard, but this time the content of the singing was even more difficult, and I couldn't even understand it at all, I only felt that it was sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low.

When it is high-pitched, it seems that a hundred birds are singing, which makes people happy; When it is low, it is like a yellow warbler crying at night, which makes people unbearable and sad.

I don't know how long it took, but the voice that lingered in my ears finally fell silent, and my eyes went black, and I finally passed out completely.

When I woke up, before I opened my eyes, I felt an incomparably sore pain in my body, I couldn't move even if I wanted to, and there was a hot stinging pain on my left hand.

When I rolled down just now, I was holding the fat man in my right hand, and my left hand was scratching around, and it was probably at that time that my left hand was cut by something.

At that time, the situation was crisis, and I didn't feel any pain, and it didn't hurt until then.

On top of that, the place where my left thigh touched the ground was a bit cold and slippery, as if the ground was very wet.

I didn't pay attention at first, until something moved against my thigh, like a snake or an earthworm, and climbed up my thigh.

Now I was so frightened that I didn't know where the strength came from, so I jumped up with a "poof", kicked my legs desperately, and it took me a long time to throw that thing down.

I'm afraid that the thing will climb on me again, I want to run, but it's dark all around, and I don't know which direction to run, not to mention that I was with the fat man when I fell down just now, and now it's quiet, and I don't know if the fat man is still here.

"Fat man......

Fat ......"

While guarding against the thing just now crawling on top of me, I whispered the fat man's name, but after shouting for a long time, I didn't get any response.

In the end, I had no choice, I pinched the jade ring around my neck and shouted several red shadows, but she didn't appear, and even I felt that the jade ring was not as cold as usual, and there was an inexplicable feeling that the red shadow was not in the jade ring.

I stood there alone and thought about it for a long time, and finally I came up with a way, carefully groped the ground around me with my feet, found a few small stone-like things, carefully hooked them with my feet, and then picked them up and threw them one by one.

While losing, I continued to shout fat.

After throwing a few stones in all directions, I was sure that I was in a relatively open area, the north side was a slope, which should be where we rolled down, the south side was very wide, and I threw the stones hard and didn't hit the wall, the west and east sides hit the wall, but the difference was that the west wall was very close to me, and the east side was very far away, and after a second or two of the stones were thrown, there was a sound of hitting the wall.

With this method, I figured out that I should be in a north-south corridor, closer to the west wall.

And judging from the fact that it was completely pitch black all around, the gap above should have been buried after we rolled down, otherwise there would not be no light at all.

Once I had determined my surroundings, I calmed down a little and groped my way to the west wall, where I collected some small stones with my feet and threw them at the place where I remembered I had just gotten up.

I didn't throw a few times, I heard a muffled sound of "bang", obviously different from the sound of smashing to the ground, I was happy, quickly shouted the name of the fat man, shouted a few times, no response, I continued to throw, and shouted after throwing.

After a long time, a muffled snort finally came from there.

I never felt that the fat man's voice was so beautiful, and tears of excitement were about to flow out, so I quickly asked him, "Fat man, are you awake?"

” Before the fat man could reply, I heard him scold, ", what the hell is this?"

” Then there was a chaotic sound, probably because the fat man was like me, and he just woke up and found that he was lying on his stomach with that kind of clammy and slippery thing, and he was frightened.

After a long time, the fat man stopped his movements, gasped and asked, "Sanwa, is it you?"

What's going on, what's going on around with black holes?

” As he spoke, the fat man's voice lowered, probably remembering what happened before he fell unconscious.

I was afraid that he would be sad, so I quickly opened my mouth and told him what happened after I woke up, and told him what kind of situation we were in, and told him to be careful and go west, and after touching the wall, he would meet me.

The fat man also knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he did as I said, just kept his mouth shut and never spoke again.

I didn't think it would be a problem to go on like this, so when he came up to me, he asked him what we were going to do next.

The fat man was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "It's so dark, the place where we came down must be buried, but since we can still breathe, it means that there must be oxygen here."

Didn't you say that the south side is a passageway, let's go that way, maybe we can find the exit. ” According to the current situation, there is no need to discuss at all, and I also know that there is only one way to the south, and the reason why I asked the fat man is also to ask him to talk more, don't be too sad.

After the discussion, we held on to the wall with our hands and cautiously leaned forward with our feet.

Although it was dark all around, the road was quite flat, and the road was quite stable, the only accident I encountered was that as I walked, my hand accidentally touched a wet and sticky thing on the wall, which was similar to the thing I was lying on my lap when I first woke up, and it almost scared me to death.

I didn't dare to hold on to the wall on that part of the road, so I had to move my feet little by little, but fortunately, apart from this little episode, I didn't encounter any other accidents.

I don't know how long I walked, the road began to twist and turn, and the fat man and I went around a semi-circular road, because of the dark environment around us, the previous sense of direction could not be found at this time, so I had to follow the road, blankly walked forward.

Because we had been walking for so long, the fat man and I were almost desperate, but at this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in front of us.

After being in the dark for such a long time, the fat man and I couldn't care about whether the light in front of us was a blessing or a curse, and Bicai was a little excited, speeding up the speed of his feet and walking quickly towards the light.

What made us even happier was that the light, although far away, seemed to be approaching us, and at first we saw a point of light the size of a soybean, and after a while, it felt like a candle in front of us.

After walking for a few more minutes, we finally saw clearly that in front of us was a group of people with red torches in their hands, walking towards me.

If you can hold a torch, it must be a person, not the two monsters we met outside before, and the fat man and I were finally relieved now, and stretched out our hands and shouted over there.

In the dark and quiet environment, the sound could easily travel far away, and the people over there quickly heard the sound and sped up the speed towards us.

When I walked to him, I saw the old Taoist priest who was following Old Man He, the only torch that emitted light was in his hand, in addition to him, there were several other people, ranging in age, but they all looked younger, and they were the people who were digging the grave with the fat man and his father outside.

However, Old Man He, the other old man beside him besides the old Taoist priest, and the middle-aged man whose arm was torn off were not here.

The group of people obviously saw us clearly, and the old Taoist priest asked, "Are you the two little dolls outside?"

” When we saw someone, the fat man and I finally felt less frightened, and hurriedly walked over and told the old Taoist priest what happened after we fell.

After finishing speaking, the fat man also asked about his father's situation, and asked the old Taoist priest if he had seen his father's body after he fell.

Strictly speaking, we can still survive until now, it was the fat man and his father who exchanged his life for it, although it is uncertain whether we can survive in the end, but at least we are still alive now.

The old Taoist priest sighed, then shook his head, saying that he had not seen the body of the fat man's father.

Then he gave them a brief explanation.

After they fell, the old Taoist priest was lucky enough to fall not far from this group of people, and even more fortunately, a car also fell with them.

The group took the gasoline out of the car, poured it on their clothes, and tied it up with sticks to make a rudimentary torch.

After checking the information on both sides, the old Taoist priest sighed, "I felt the flow of air here, and thought that the exit was in the direction you came from......

Now it seems that the previous fork in the road should have gone wrong, let's turn back. ” After speaking, he also specially explained, "You two little dolls follow me, don't be too far away from me." ” When he had given the order, he led us on the way back. didn't walk for long, and sure enough, I came across the fork in the road that the old Taoist priest said.

As soon as I saw this fork in the road, I understood why the old Taoist priests had chosen the path to our side before, I am afraid that it was not at all what he said to distinguish the flow of air.

At the other junction, the ground was not as flat as ours, but there were a few low stone pillars standing on the ground, as if they were arranged in a messy unknown pattern.

What's even more different is that around the entrance of the fork in the road, there are actually a few egg-sized beads, inlaid on the rock wall, exuding a faint light, which makes people feel cold in their hearts at a glance, as if this place leads to the Nine Shades Yellow Spring.

Not to mention that the old Taoist priest is a capable person, even if he is an ordinary person, he can see that this cave cannot be easily broken into.

"Liu Dayi, you light the torch and go in first to have a look."

The old Taoist priest quickly gave the order.

Immediately afterward, someone from behind lit a fire with a lighter, and a young man walked out with a freshly lit torch.

The old Taoist priest was very prestigious, and after giving the order, the young man did not dare to disobey, and walked in hard.

Strange to say, the young man had a torch in his hand, and the entrance to the cave was surrounded by pearls, but as soon as he walked in, his figure disappeared from our sight.

Then, before we could react, we heard a scream coming from the mouth of the cave.

We were in a hurry, so we hurriedly walked up to look inside, only to see a torch falling to the ground with a "bang", the flames on it were burning, and the young man named Liu Dayi disappeared without a trace......
