Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus Chapter 222

Play Speak

Wu Xie turned around and saw the fat man stumbling over. He didn't even bother to ask Shunzi if he knew the skeletons on the ground.

Wu Xie reached out his hand to steady the unsteady fat man, "Fatty, did you see wrongly, so you are back to the starting point? It is possible that you walked back to the original path without paying attention."

The fat man panted heavily and waved his hands, "Impossible, my eyes are among the best, how could I have missed them? And there is only one way to go, there is no second way, how could I go the wrong way? If you don't believe me, you can ask Pan Zi, he went with me to explore the way."

The fat man shook off Wu Xie's hand in indignation, pointed at Pan Zi, and asked Wu Xie to ask Pan Zi if he had seen it wrong.

Wu Xie didn't have the energy to care about Fatty's emotions anymore, so he walked over to Pan Zi, who also had a terrified look on his face, and said, "Uncle Pan Zi, did you and Fatty really not see any hidden paths around when you went exploring? I seem to have heard Uncle San talk about it, that kind of path where you can only see one path and keep going forward, but in the end you can never find the original place again. But that's only recorded in books, it's never happened in reality!"

Pan Zi frowned, his eyes full of confusion, "We didn't see it wrong, we just kept walking along this road, but as we walked, we suddenly found that there was no road ahead. And when we looked back, we found that the road we had walked on before had disappeared, leaving only darkness."

Wu Xie still didn't believe it, so he asked Pan Zi to take him through it again. The moment they stepped out of the stone door, Wu Xie found that the surrounding walls seemed different from before they came.

"Uncle Pan Zi, do you still remember the mural painted with red paint on the stone wall when we first entered the passage?" Wu Xie pulled Pan Zi and made him look at the empty stone wall around him.

Pan Zi also looked around carefully for the first time. "Indeed, I remember when we entered the tomb passage, there were paintings on the walls with a red paint, which seemed to be scenes of sacrifice or narrative. Why are they gone now?"

Wu Xie pondered for a moment and said, "There must be something strange about this tomb passage. Let's go and take a look. We'll discuss everything after we come back."

Wu Xie and Pan Zi walked in the tomb passage with flashlights for a while. Wu Xie saw a light coming from the front and was happy but then depressed again. Because he saw the fat man standing at the door and Shunzi was silent behind him.

The fat man looked at the two people who returned empty-handed. He wanted to mock them but then he thought that they were now grasshoppers on the same rope and neither of them would say anything to the other.

"Fatty, when you were exploring the way just now, did you notice the situation on the surrounding walls? How long did it take us to enter the tomb passage and reach this room for the first time?" Wu Xie stood in front of the fat man and asked seriously.

"This fat man didn't notice it, did you notice it, Pan Zi?" The fat man scratched his head and turned to look at Pan Zi.

Pan Zi shook his head, indicating that he didn't notice it either.

"It will take us no more than five minutes to get from the tomb passage to this room. How long is the total distance? If you take a slightly bigger step, it will only be about ten steps. How much longer can it be?" The fat man replied to Wu Xie after recalling the past.

Wu Xie looked back at the endless tomb passage behind him and frowned, "But when Uncle Pan Zi and I just walked out, there were no murals on the surrounding stone walls. And before I set out, I checked the time and it took us about fifteen minutes."

The fat man exclaimed: "Fifteen minutes!"

Pan Zi also frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Wu Xie took a deep breath and analyzed calmly: "If we calculate based on the speed we walked before, this section of the road can be completed in a few minutes at most, but now it takes three times as long, and the surrounding environment has also changed... Could it be that we have entered a maze?"

The fat man widened his eyes and said in surprise: "No way, why is there a maze here?"

Pan Zi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Perhaps, the owner of this ancient tomb deliberately set up such a mechanism in order to make intruders lose their way and get into trouble."

Wu Xie nodded, agreeing with Pan Zi's point of view: "It seems that we have to be careful and not take risks easily."

The three of them remained silent, thinking about how to get out of this maze.

Shunzi was crying silently when he heard that they were trapped here. Wu Xie looked up and saw Shunzi crying silently, "Shunzi, don't worry. Since we can get in, we must have a way to get out."

Sunja just shook his head, "Impossible. How could we possibly have a chance to get out?"

Wu Xie also frowned, puzzled as to why Shunzi said that it was impossible for them to have Li Hui go out.

Wu Xie carefully comforted Shunzi who was a little emotionally broken, "Shunzi, have you discovered something? You can tell us and we can think of a solution together. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! We still have four people here, at least we can be one and a third of Zhuge Liang."

Fatty didn't care about being sad anymore, "Yes! Brother Shunzi, did you see something or remember something? Just tell me, although I haven't read many books, I am a man of loyalty."

Shunzi wiped away his tears and pointed to one of the skeletons behind him. "That's my father! The clothes he was wearing were sewn by my mother. He only wore them once and I never saw him again after that. I always thought he was still alive. Maybe he was injured and didn't remember us, so he couldn't find his way home."

Shunzi wiped more tears, "But I would rather he was injured and lost his memory and didn't remember us, than to hear that he is now a pile of bones."

Wu Xie and Fatty didn't know how to comfort Shunzi at this time. When Pan Zi heard that the skeleton was Shunzi's father, he had already walked over to check the equipment and supplies on the pile of bones.

"Their equipment is complete, even their warm clothes are there." Pan Zi looked at Wu Xie and the fat man with an unnatural expression on his face.

"Then how did they die? If everything is complete, we should be able to find a way out!" Wu Xie's mind had not yet figured it out, but the fat man had already thought of something and his face turned pale.

"Wu Xie, they starved to death. Or, in other words, without any food source, they might..." The fat man spoke with difficulty and explained to the young man who grew up under the red flag.

Wu Xie had already guessed what was not said in the end, and his face turned pale. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Pan Zi, his eyes full of despair and helplessness. Although Pan Zi was a little reluctant, he finally nodded to indicate his consent.

Wu Xie only then realized that the work his uncle was doing was so cruel and ruthless. He felt as if he was tightly bound by an invisible force and could not break free. At this moment, he was like a headless fly, walking around outside again and again with a backpack on his back, wandering aimlessly.

Until Pan Zi stopped him and said in a firm tone: "Master San, what we need now is to calm down, not run around like a headless fly."

Wu Xie's emotions were close to the edge of collapse. He tightly grasped Pan Zi's clothes with both hands, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then do you have any way to get us out? How can you let me calm down? I haven't found my third uncle yet, and I'm trapped here! If I had been a step later, what might have happened to my third uncle?"
