Chapter 839 Semicircular Tunnel

In the crypt, there is boundless, bottomless darkness, not even a little light.There was no sound either.The most terrifying thing in the world is indeed darkness, that is, seeing nothing!
Even the subtle skylight at the entrance was gone, and Fan Jiannan felt more and more bored and restless.He felt like he was back in the past, that ignorant child, his mother died early, and his father was away all year round.Every night he squatted on the edge of the cold bed alone, listening to the sound of his own heartbeat, feeling lonely and afraid.He is afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of this boundless loneliness.

"Fan Jiannan, where are you?" Feng Yuan brought him back to reality from his memory with a crying voice.On the opposite side of the abyss in the crypt, Feng Yuan was sliding down the rope.Fan Jiannan could see the miner's lamp above Feng Yuan's head shaking in the darkness, but he didn't feel joy at all, on the contrary his heart sank.

"I'm here. Be careful, don't come over." Fan Jiannan responded.

"Jiannan!" Feng Yuan exclaimed, and immediately moved towards him.

"Be careful, stand there and don't move, the bridge in the middle has collapsed, you can't get across." Fan Jiannan shouted immediately.

"How are you? Are you injured?" Feng Yuan tremblingly said, "Wu Jinshan said that you were injured during the landslide."

Fan Jiannan sighed in his heart, Feng Yuan was still fooled by Tetsuya Fukuyama after all.He said softly, "I'm fine, just stand opposite and listen to me. You were fooled just now. Wu Jinshan is the great priest of the Eastern Mimori Heavenly Dao. He trapped me here and tricked you out again." .Now we're all trapped here."

"Wu Jinshan is Japanese?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have suspected him for a long time, that's why I let you stay on the top, and didn't let you down. However, I was still careless, and he took advantage of the loophole." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "Are you okay?"

Feng Yuan nodded and said, "I'm fine, how are you?"

"I got a little injury, it's okay." Fan Jiannan said calmly. In fact, he was seriously injured, but it was mainly an internal injury caused by hemorrhage in his body, which couldn't be seen on the outside.Thanks to this, Fukuyama Tetsu couldn't see that Fan Jiannan was already a strong outsider but a middle-ranking official.In fact, he didn't need to play any tricks at all just now. If he did it directly, Fan Jiannan probably wouldn't be able to hold on for a few minutes.

Feng Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Just wait, I'll find a way to come over."

"Don't come here, it's too dangerous." Fan Jiannan said.

"No, even if I die, I still want to be with you. I've been obsessed with you for the rest of my life, don't even think about abandoning me!" Feng Yuan gritted his teeth.

Fan Jiannan smiled bitterly and said, "Can we stop talking about death? I haven't lived enough in my life, so naturally you can't die either. Wait a moment, I'll think of a way, maybe there's another way out." He raised his head with The miner's lamp shone on the stone wall behind him, and suddenly saw the old copper ring on the wall.His heart moved slightly, and he immediately said, "Feng Yuan, do you have a lifeline on you?"

"Yes." Feng Yuan nodded and said, "I brought down a bundle of rope. It seems that there is another bundle on the ground here. It should be that Wu Jinshan left in a hurry and didn't bring it up."

"That's easy." Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Wait a minute, you tie the rope left by Tetsuya Fukuyama with the rope you took down. The length should be enough. Check it out before you There should also be a kind of copper ring on the stone wall behind you. You try to tie one end of the rope to the higher copper ring, and throw the other end to me, and then I will fix the rope here. There will be a height difference."

"You mean like a zipline?" Feng Yuan had a flash of inspiration.

"That's right, you should still be wearing a safety belt, tie it to a rope, and you can slide to my side." Fan Jiannan explained, "Your side is not safe anymore, the only exit has been controlled by Tetsuya Fukuyama , As long as he is on the top, he will never let us out alive. But Tetsuya Fukuyama doesn’t know, I found a few caves here, and if I’m lucky, there may be other ways out.”

"Are you ready?" Fan Jiannan asked.

"I'm tying a knot." Feng Yuan said, "But this bundle of rope is very heavy, how can I throw it to you?"

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember the Taiyi Divine Number you learned? Divination, as long as you find the right direction and throw at the right time, you will be able to throw the rope over."

Feng Yuan tried several times in a row, but he couldn't throw the rope over.After all, she is a girl with limited strength.He couldn't compare with Fan Jiannan in terms of spell ability. After trying it a few times, he almost cried out of anxiety. "Fan Jiannan, I can't do it..."

"If you can do it, concentrate and choose the direction of Xun Gua, then you can use the power of Xun Feng to throw the rope over. Don't worry, try a few more times." Fan Jiannan comforted her.

Finally, after Feng Yuan tried a few times, he found the right position and timing, and the rope was almost unfurled against the wind, as soft as a ribbon floating in the wind.

Fan Jiannan grabbed the other end of the rope and let out a long breath.Then he tied the rope tightly to the copper ring on the side and tied a few knots.The rope was stretched straight in the air, forming a sloping zipline across the abyss between them.

Feng Yuan fastened the safety belt on his body to the rope, and smoothly slid down the zipline to Fan Jiannan's side.She didn't bother to untie it, so she hugged Fan Jiannan and cried.

"Alright! Alright, it's safe now." Fan Jiannan patted her sobbing shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, "Take a break. Believe that we still have a chance."

"Yes." Feng Yuan agreed in a low voice, but the tears flowed down like they couldn't stop.

"Well, at least we are still together now." Fan Jiannan smiled, "Together there is hope."

After resting for a while, the two walked along the narrow passage to the depths of the cave that Fan Jiannan had discovered.This seems to be another aisle, but it looks much lower and rough, and there is dust accumulated over the years, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan proceeded carefully along this aisle.After walking for a while, Fan Jiannan suddenly frowned and said, "Feng Yuan, do you feel anything?"

"No?" Feng Yuan asked strangely, "What do you mean?"

"This corridor is like a tunnel. It was dug half a circle around the abyss in the stone wall, and it was obviously completed hastily." Fan Jiannan pondered, "Tell me, why did the people of Qin dig such a tunnel at that time?"

"Perhaps there are other reasons. The ancients always had many strange reasons or special customs for doing things, which is difficult for us to understand." Feng Yuan said casually.

"But no matter what you do, there must be a reason, right? This semi-circular tunnel can't exist without meaning, and the entrance is so secret." Fan Jiannan frowned, "It seems that he deliberately doesn't want to be discovered."

"But you still found it, didn't you? Besides, if the ancients wanted to hide something, it was impossible to dig such a semi-circular tunnel. Did it take such a lot of effort?" Feng Yuan frowned.

Fan Jiannan pondered, "No, when Fukuyama Tetsuya and I came down, neither of us noticed the entrance of this cave. Maybe the light was not good at that time, or maybe our attention was focused on the stone platform on the abyss Go up. But when I came back to think about it just now, I suddenly felt something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Feng Yuan frowned, "It's so dark here, it's normal that you didn't notice it for a while."

"No! It's not just for this reason. Apart from the problem of light, there are other reasons. I calculated carefully just now. This entrance is established at the location of Dumen. The master of Dumen is hiding. Just to clarify, the location of this entrance was intentionally set here, and it was taken into account that the weak sky light outside could not reach here." Fan Jiannan mused, "Perhaps the people who built this half-tunnel didn't want others to find this place."

Feng Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's meaningless to talk about these things now. I think even if there are hidden things here, we will find something new along the way. But the tunnel is almost at the end of the road ahead, and we found nothing. "

Indeed, the end of the tunnel was already more than ten meters ahead of them. It seemed that this was a tunnel that hadn't been dug through.Fan Jiannan struggled to pull out a metal object from the stone wall at the end, and illuminated it with a miner's lamp, "This severely corroded object should be the excavating tool at that time."

Feng Yuan took it over to have a look, and found that this thing had been severely corroded, and it was hard to see the original shape clearly.It's kind of like a pickaxe or pickaxe of some sort though.It should have been equipped with a wooden handle originally, but the wooden handle has long since rotted away.Only this piece of metal was left alone in the rock wall.

Fan Jiannan sighed, "It really is a tunnel that hasn't been dug through. I probably know why this tunnel looks so hasty and rough."

"Why?" Feng Yuan frowned.

"It is very likely that the workers at that time dug it privately." Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember the stone dock at the foot of Mount Tai? The stone workers back then probably also knew some knowledge of magic, so they knew how to open the tunnel. The entrance is set at the position of Dumen. I think that in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they must have blocked the entrance of the passage with wooden boards and covered it with a layer of soil. However, the original wooden boards have decayed over time. This tunnel behind."

"But why did the workers at that time build such a semi-circular passage?" Feng Yuan frowned.

"To escape." Fan Jiannan said calmly. "Qin law is strict, especially the secrets here, Qin Shihuang will never let others know. In terms of his personality, the workers who built these ruins will be killed. Maybe some workers realized this and dug This is a hidden tunnel to survive."
