Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Footprints

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and there was a lot of loud noises, and our feet were numb from the shock.There is too much black liquid accumulated in the temple, but there is no place to release the flames. Now the female tree must have been fried into French fries, and the apse has also begun to collapse. If it stays any longer, it will definitely become an unjust death.At this time, Nick suddenly pushed me hard, a boulder fell in response, and Nick was also rushed aside.The loud noise just now was so powerful that the Tianshan Temple could not be kept. I originally wanted to go out and explain the situation here to the people in the museum.

"Why did you save me? How are you doing?" I wanted to go over to help Nick up, but he made a gesture, telling me not to go over. "It's okay, you believe me, I never thought of taking possession of your country's things." Nick said with difficulty, "Let's run away, this place will collapse soon!" "Where are you going to escape? There is no way here. Do you want us to go back to the underground cave, and we will still wait to die there!" Chen Jing said anxiously. "There is an exit here, and I entered the temple through this exit." Nick said with difficulty, as if injured.

I looked around again, is there really an exit? There are solid stone walls everywhere. Where there is any exit, it is almost the same if there is an entrance.However, Bauer had stayed on the stone wall here for a long time before. It seemed that he was indeed waiting for someone here, but he died before waiting for someone. It seemed that there might really be an exit here.Didn’t anyone know what Xu Fu said on the bamboo slips? How could Nick know that he was a foreigner, so he couldn’t possibly be a descendant of Xu Fu. "There are just four of us here. Let's go to each of the four pillars. Quick!" Nick gritted his teeth, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Now that things have come to an end, we can only trust him. Anyway, the Donghuang Bell is thrown away, so it is useless to say anything now.According to what Nick said, we came to the side of the four stone pillars. At the same time, I finally discovered why I always felt that something had been changed when I ran back to the apse just now.It turned out that a black stone protruded from the bottom of the four stone pillars at some point. "Press that black stone down hard. Remember, the four of us must press it down at the same time." Nick instructed. Following Nick's instructions, we pressed the black stone carefully. As soon as the stone was pressed down, there was a loud bang, and a hole appeared in the middle of the apse, a deep hole, which should be the exit.I am very happy in my heart, if I don't have to die, everyone will be happy.However, I still think about the words Xu Fu carved on the bamboo slips. Didn’t he say that the people who built the exit didn’t find it?However, the design mechanism for the exit of the apse could not have been completed by Xu Fu alone. That is to say, the exit design at that time was used to escape Qin Shihuang’s extermination. Xu Fu should not be the only one, so why did he say he was the only one? Does anyone know the exit?

I stared blankly at the entrance of the cave, thinking about the words Xu Fu carved on the bamboo slips. It seems that the cave entrance was indeed made by the craftsmen who built it for myself to escape. In order to prevent Qin Shihuang from finding out that they built a secret passage privately So I specially made four mechanisms, and you have to press them at the same time to find out that there is another mystery here.However, wouldn't this conflict with Xu Fu's words?He is the only one who knows the exit, but I remember that Xu Fu said it was a natural exit, and this place is man-made. Could it be that the exit Xu Fu mentioned is somewhere else.

"Let's go in quickly, this place will collapse soon!" Nick shouted anxiously. "Is that really the exit?" I thought about Xu Fu's words, and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?" "Don't worry, it's no good for me to lie to you now, is there?" Nick said with a smile, but he didn't smile as naturally as before, and he didn't know why. "Go ahead, Jinwei." Xinhong said to me, but he was unwilling to leave, after all, Uncle Zou's death was very strange.How did Uncle Zou know about this Tianshan Temple? Did he really come here for the Eastern Emperor Bell?What is the meaning of the words he wrote before he died? Did he think I would do some bad things, but I have always respected him very much, and I would never do anything to offend him.

The air in the apse became scorching hot, and the original shade was no longer there. The fire of Mie Quenhua was beyond my imagination. If we don't escape, we will be burned in red.Nick asked Chen Jing to go down first, and the three of us followed behind. The hole seemed to be dug hastily, so there were many messy marks on the wall of the hole, and the hole was not very big, just big enough for two people to walk side by side.Nick took out four more fluorescent sticks, and each of us took one for walking.Xinhong and Chen Jing walked in front, and Nick and I walked behind.I don't know if there is an exit at the end of this hole. If there is no exit, we are really doomed. Besides, everyone hasn't eaten for a long time. If we can't find an exit, we will starve to death.Beef, which I didn't like the most in the past, if I have a big plate now, I won't complain about it being bad, and I will definitely eat it right away. Unfortunately, it is absolutely impossible now.I don't know if I still have the chance to eat my least favorite beef, but I hope I still have this chance.

Suddenly, Nick staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, I was quick enough to hold him up.Nick looked haggard and pale, and he looked no better than us.It's this time, and I can no longer lose my temper and lose my temper.I supported him to move forward, but when my hand was on his back, it felt wet, as if it was still a little sticky. Although when we first met Nick, his clothes were wet for some reason, but the fire was so big just now, his clothes were already dry, why is his back still so wet now?I am also embarrassed to ask questions at this time, so I have to follow them.This hole is quite long, and after walking for a long time, I didn't see any light ahead, but I hope the exit is not far away.

"Nick, do you have any accomplices?" Xinhong walked in front, and he suddenly turned around and asked. "Don't worry, I intercepted the message that Ball sent to my sister later. She still doesn't know where the temple is, but she already knows that Ball and you came in." Nick gasped and said with a forced smile . "Why did you do this?" Chen Jing also turned her head and asked, "Don't you want the Eastern Emperor Bell?" Nick didn't answer Chen Jing, he looked at the ground intently, and the three of us looked down at the ground when we saw Nick like this, thinking that there was something wrong with the ground.This hole has come here, and the surroundings are already covered with soil, but now there are four pairs of footprints on the ground, which of course are not ours.

Of the footprints, three pairs were wet, and these three pairs should be of adult humans, and the other pair should be of animals, which appeared to be the footprints of a dog, while the dog's footprints were dry.These four pairs of footprints seem odd to me.Because there are three pairs of human footprints, two pairs of wet footprints are going towards the apse, and the other pair seems to be a person returning from the apse, so there are three pairs of human footprints here, and the pair of dogs Footprints, only footprints from the apse, could this dog be Bauer's big dog.No wonder I never saw it again after being dispersed by the crowd. It turned out that it was taken away by someone, and it was the only one left among the three big dogs.

"Is there a row of footprints that belong to you, Nick?" Xinhong asked looking at the footprints on the ground. "That's right. But I came in alone, and it's impossible for someone else to come in." Nick was also surprised. "You really didn't lie to us?" Chen Jing still refused to believe what Nick said, and of course I didn't quite believe it either. "Why don't you believe me, at least you should believe that there is an exit ahead from this footprint." Nick said panting. "The two of you came in together, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?" After I finished speaking, I let go of Nick's hand and walked to Xinhong and Chen Jing. I felt that the hand holding Nick was very wet, so I wiped it on my clothes, trying to clean it, but when I raised my hand, it was covered with blood, bright red and dazzling blood! I looked at Nick in horror, and said tremblingly, "This...you...how do you have..." Nick frowned in pain, spit out a lot of blood, and fell to the ground. I immediately remembered the scene where Nick rescued me in the apse.I ran over nervously, helped Nick who was lying on the ground, and said, "What's wrong with you, why is there so much blood on your back? When did you get hurt? Was it when you were in the apse just now? It fell down, and you pushed me away, but you were injured?" Nick smiled reluctantly, as a tacit consent. No wonder Nick has always looked very uncomfortable from just now to now. It turns out that he has been injured long ago.However, he was unwilling to say it out. Could it be that he was afraid of delaying our escape time? It seems that I really misunderstood Nick. "We'll take you out right away," I said guiltily, only to notice that Nick's pupils had slowly dilated and his signs of life were fading. "No need, it's too late..." "But you...you have so much blood..." Xinhong was also a little worried. "I'm sorry, lady. I know you want to bring Donghuang Zhong back to the Red Cliffs, but it's impossible now." Nick said with a smile. "Forget it, it's over, don't talk about it." Chen Jing wanted to pretend to be free and easy, but she still cared. "I'm really sorry," Nick said with a relaxed smile, "I'm afraid it will burn there for three days and three nights, and the Donghuang Bell will never exist again, and no one will come to snatch it." "Why are you doing this? Don't you want the Eastern Emperor Bell?" Chen Jing asked curiously. "I said earlier that I don't want the Eastern Emperor Bell," Nick vomited a little more blood, and he broke it with difficulty, "I'm afraid I can't do it anymore, so I'll tell you all about me and Ball. "
