The years of reselling the haunted house

Meng Baolu bowed deeply to me: "Master, people of Sanyangpu Village, thank you. We pray together, Master, you can come back triumphantly, and the whole village will celebrate your achievements at that time."

Pang Dahai also said with concern: "Boss, you have to promise me that you will come back safely."

I smiled: "Don't worry. I'm not a fool. I'll retreat when I see danger. I'm sure of that."

After finishing speaking, I waved to the little mason: "Shi Jin, let's go."

I held the ladder with my hand, stepped on the wooden stick on the ladder, and moved down the hole step by step.

When I went down to a depth of about two meters, the little mason Shi Jin also stepped down from above on the soft ladder.

At the same time, he grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and threw it down from above.

The glutinous rice fell down from behind me without a sound, as if it disappeared in the air, and there was no sound of landing.

I think maybe it's because it's so high from the bottom that the glutinous rice can't hear any sound when it hits the ground.

As I went down slowly, I illuminated it with my headlamp, and found that the inside of the cave wall seemed to be very wet, and there was a layer of water vapor on it.It feels cool to the touch, a little icy.

As time went on, I got farther and farther away from the entrance of the cave.I looked up from below, and beyond the body of the little mason above, I could only see a ray of light coming through the hole. This feeling of sitting in a well and looking at the sky is very bad, and I feel that I am entering an unknown and isolated world.

And as I get closer to the bottom, the light coming in from the hole gets dimmer, and I seem to be swallowed by darkness.Only the light from the headlamp above my head can make me feel a little bit at ease.

At this time, I was very lucky to let the little mason come down with me.Otherwise, if I was the only one in this cave, the loneliness and the fear of the unknown would be enough to break people's spirits.

This fear is all because of that unknown.How can it be possible to say that you are not afraid?Even if I came down with sufficient preparation, this kind of process is enough to make people dread.Sometimes, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the process of dying, that kind of suffering is absolutely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

My heart was beating more and more violently, and the stone gold not far from my head didn't know if it had my fear.Fortunately, he kept grabbing the glutinous rice and sprinkled it down. This kind of glutinous rice can pull out the poison of the corpse and also have some effect of warding off evil spirits.Although I don't know how effective this is, it can give me a little comfort, at least it's better than doing nothing.

As we went further and further down, there seemed to be no weird sounds under the cave.Instead, the surroundings were eerily quiet.At first, I could still hear their voices above the burrow, but now that's gone.

This kind of stillness, for me, can only escalate my sense of fear.I also understand that when Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang came down, they must have encountered the same experience. I don’t know if they would choose to take the risk to go down the cave if they were given another choice.

Thinking of this, I smiled wryly, this assumption no longer exists.They don't have a second chance to choose, and I'm doing the first.In this situation, I still have the time to think about others.

All I could hear was my own heavy breathing and even the beating of my heart.On the contrary, Shi Jin's breathing was still very even, as if his mood hadn't been affected in any way.

I raised my head and asked in a low voice: "Shi Jin, how is your side?"

"Brother, I'm fine here. What's the problem?"

"No. It is estimated that we are about to reach the bottom of the cave. I remind you to be careful. How much glutinous rice is there?"

"There's still half a bag left. I guess it should be enough."

"That's good. Remember, when it's over, don't come down first, and watch the movement before talking."

I explained to Shi Jin again, and continued to hold on to the ladder, heading down towards the bottom of the cave.

What should come will always come, suddenly my feet sank, my heart moved, and I tried my best to explore the ground below. The ground was very solid, and I stopped easily, which meant that I should have reached the bottom.

I shone my headlamp upwards and shook it, indicating to Shi Jin that my side had come to the end.

The headlight shone back on the ground, and sure enough, I saw the dark ground, with potholes and moss growing in many places.

I took two deep breaths and found that the air below was not very fresh, and there was a smell of dampness and corruption.But this is also normal, there is no sunlight all year round, and it is underground, so it is good to have air to breathe.

I seized the time, took out another piece of Buddhist incense from my bag, squatted on the ground and lit the incense.

The incense was lit up, and a puff of green smoke came out.

I watched the blue smoke nervously, and found that the smoke lingered around the incense burner for a while, then rose slowly and drifted towards the top of the cave.

I breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was the same as when I was at the entrance of the cave, which meant that the evil spirit below was no longer so heavy.

Shi Jin above also noticed that the green smoke was going upwards.So he also walked down the ladder step by step according to our original agreement, and stepped on the ground of the cave.

"Brother, everything is normal." Shi Jin said something, and he was reporting to me.

I nodded, and shone a little farther away with my headlamp.

Under the halo of the headlights, a long and narrow passage extends to a farther direction.

Obviously, there is a hole in the sky below. The position under our feet is just the first stop of this mysterious cave.

And of course our task is not just to stay here.

I gestured towards the narrow passage ahead.

This boy Shi Jin is very smart, he quickly understood what I meant, he reached out and grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, and sprinkled it in the direction of the passage.

According to the old village chief, after Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang came down, about a few minutes later, there were exclamations and gunshots. It was obvious that something terrible happened to them at that time.

But we stopped in place for a few minutes, but neither saw nor heard anything unusual.Not sure if those sticky rice we sprinkled did the trick.

It's just that during these few minutes, the sound didn't seem to spread here, it was surprisingly quiet, terrifyingly quiet.

Chapter 1012

I took out the two zombie teeth from my body and handed one to Shi Jin.

Before I got this thing down, I thought about getting another one from the fat man.

Shi Jin didn't know what it was, so I asked him to hold it in his mouth and press it under his tongue, saying that it could suppress the yang energy in his body.If we encounter any evil thing, maybe it can start to work and prevent him from discovering us so quickly.

Shi Jin held it in his hand and looked at it. The thing had already been polished black and shiny by me and Pang Dahai, so Shi Jin probably didn't realize what it was.But when he heard what I said, he didn't hesitate, and put the corpse teeth in his mouth.

I lit the front with a headlamp, and Shi Jin lit the torch he had brought.Not because of insufficient lighting, but because I know that in this environment, an open fire is more suitable than a dead light.

What has always worried me is that we have not found any other unknown creatures from the beginning to the end.There doesn't seem to be anything special here except for the cold and damp.It is completely different from the situation that appeared after the big and strong two came down.

This actually made me uneasy, as if there was a feeling that some kind of monster was hiding here, waiting for a suitable time to rush out and attack us.

But we can't just stay at the entrance of the cave and wait, not to mention the depth of the long and narrow passage, which has an inexplicable attraction to me at this time.I really want to know what is hidden in that depth, so that it has stayed here for so many years.

Before we went down into the cave, Meng Baolu had given me the blueprint in his hand, so that if I really found a mysterious building underground, I could check it with the blueprint.

I don't know if there is really an underground building deep in this passage.If so, what does it have to do with the mysterious mission that the ancestors of the Huang family received back then.

There are too many mysteries about this underground building, so after discovering the passage, I made up my mind to go down the passage and solve all these mysteries.

After Shi Jin came down, he seldom spoke, but he just followed me wherever I went.

I slowly groped forward along the passage, and by the light of the fire, I found that the surroundings of the passage were not made of earth, but made of stone.Moreover, the walls of the cave are not smooth, and there are many protrusions of stones, which makes the interior of the passage more like a cave.

Shi Jin touched the stones in the passage with his hands, and said, "Brother, these stones should be natural. Someone carved a passage inside these stones."

This surprised me a lot.The age of this passage is long gone.If our deduction is correct, it should have something to do with the ancestors of the Huang family.In this way, it is also 200 years ago.

If artificially using the underground stones to dig out such a passage, both the workload and the technical content will be quite high.

You know, the level of technology at that time was incomparable to what it is now.At that time, this kind of work was undoubtedly done manually.

The height of this passage is also as high as a person, and there is no problem at all when walking in it with a straight waist.After we walked three to five meters along the passage, another amazing thing happened.

That is, in this passage, at intervals, there is a lamp dish standing on the wall of the cave.

Moreover, there were still faint flames burning in those lamp dishes.Although the flames were not very strong, due to the large number of these lights, looking around, the lights in the depths of the corridor were shining, densely packed like a starry sky.

This made me seriously doubt my previous judgment. If this passage was really excavated during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty 200 years ago, then how can these oil lamps be explained.What kind of lamp oil can burn for 200 years without extinguishing, it is simply a fantasy.

Suspicious in my heart, I walked over and raised my feet. The height was just right enough to see the inside of the lamp dish.

I don't know what kind of material the lamp oil in the lamp dish is made of. It looks white and has a smell when it burns.

I didn't dare to touch it with my hands until I figured out what was inside.

"Brother, what kind of lamp is this? It looks like it's quite old." Seeing me staring at the oil lamp in a daze, Shi Jin asked.

I tried to analyze: "Shi Jin, do you think there is such a possibility? It's just that this place was originally a closed space, isolated from the air. These lights were originally off, but a while ago, the village lifted the stone slabs above it. It’s turned on, so the air has entered here. And the material properties of this kind of lamp oil, once in contact with the air, it will spontaneously ignite, so this lamp is lit again.”

Shi Jin nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense. But even so, it has been many days since they opened the slate last time. This lamp oil can last for so many days, which is very different. It looks like An extremely special material, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated."

"Yes. So, this kerosene is definitely not ordinary kerosene. Leave it alone, let's try to walk forward." I waved my hand, ignored the oil lamp next to me, and continued walking along the corridor. march ahead.

We walked a few more steps, and Shi Jin suddenly called out in a low voice behind me.

I froze for a moment, turned around and found that he was staring at the cave wall next to him.

I had been looking at the road, and I didn't look either way, so I turned my eyes to the side now.

At this time, I found that there were dark red marks on the walls on both sides.

And those blots were all splattered, my heart sank, I hurriedly stepped forward and twisted it with my hands, the red thing had dried, but it was still a little sticky, smelling a little fishy, It's obviously blood.

I looked back and found that although we had walked a certain distance inside, due to our slow speed, we were only five or six meters away from the entrance of the cave at best.

Could this be the scene of the accident after Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang came down?

Shi Jin probably thought of this too, our bodies shook at the same time, and we hastily and subconsciously stood back to back and looked at the past in two different directions.The movement of the two of us was surprisingly consistent, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.To be honest, Fatty and I have known each other for so long, and we may not have such a tacit understanding.

It seems that I really have a little fate with this stone gold.

After discovering those bloodstains, my heart felt flustered, and I hurriedly used my headlamp to shine along the corridor.

In the depths of the corridor, it was pitch black, there was no movement, and nothing unusual was found.

1013 Sudden Attack

Looking at the bloodstains on both sides of the wall, the splatter shape is obvious, and it is not difficult for us to imagine how tragic what happened to Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang here.

At that time, it was Er Zhuang who went down the hole first. He only fired one shot, then let out a scream, and then there was no movement.

Afterwards, it is the same when it grows stronger.It's just that Da Zhuang only lost two legs. According to the old village head, Da Zhuang's two legs were injured by something.These splattered bloodstains seem to prove what happened to them at that time.

Da Zhuang's legs were severely injured, and the blood sprayed out and sprayed onto the wall.

This scene naturally emerged in my mind, even though the matter has passed, I still feel a little fuzzy in my heart.

"Be careful, brother."

Shi Jin reminded me in a low voice beside me.

I nodded, some things, even if you are extra careful, they will still happen, you have to face them after all.If we just turned around at this moment and climbed up the soft ladder, maybe nothing would happen.But if we still have to bite the bullet and go on, every step forward may be risking our lives.

And Shi Jin and I both understand that we must not turn back at this time.We have seen the blood of Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, at least we have to find Er Zhuang's body, which can be regarded as an explanation to the villagers of Sanyangpu Village.

I lit the headlamp, and handed the earthen gun in my hand to Shi Jin.Because of the kind of oil lamp next to him for lighting, Shi Jin also put out the torch in his hand, and stared ahead vigilantly with the earthen gun in both hands.

I held the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword in my hand, and tried to move forward.

Like a landmine, the two of us stopped to observe the movement every few steps we moved forward.

Soon, we found two more earthen guns on the ground by the light.

The earthen gun was similar to the one Meng Baolu gave me, and it was obviously left behind by Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang.It seems that there are many such guns in their village.

I kicked the two guns, one of which was still intact, and had a bag of iron sand and powder tied to the stock.I picked it up, and according to the method Meng Baolu taught me, I filled the barrel with gunpowder using iron rods, and then continued to add iron sand outside.

After I loaded the ammo, I strapped the gun to my waist.This is a weapon anyway, and I don't really want to bring this kind of gun down there.But in such a situation, one more weapon will always give yourself courage.Although this soil gun may not be effective against the things in this crypt, and it may not even be effective against my dragon-subduing wooden sword, otherwise Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang would not have ended up like that.But people are like this, with a gun in hand, no matter how lethal it is, it seems to be more confident.

The other soil gun on the ground was broken into two pieces from the middle.

The two of us didn't talk anymore, I held the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword, Shi Jin held the earthen gun, and continued to walk into the corridor step by step in unison.

The lights on the cave wall, following my walking, cast our shadows forward and backward, long and short.

And the sound of our footsteps stepping on the ground was very clear in the passage, and could be heard far away at once.

If there were any monsters down here, they would have heard from us long ago.Strangely, this time it didn't show up for a long time.

I don't think it's the steps I took that made a difference.The glutinous rice flour that Shi Jin sprinkled down, and the Buddha incense I lit, did not have such an obvious effect at all.

The only possible reason, perhaps, is that we both had our corpse teeth in our mouths, which covered up our yang energy.They haven't found us yet.

But if this is the reason, the situation may be worse.

Because if this is the case, it means that the creature below acts by identifying the yang energy in people, so it must be a kind of zombie itself.

So until we got here, it didn't appear, but it seemed a little abnormal.It also indicates that the further we go inside, the greater the danger we may encounter.

As more and more clues were discovered, our progress slowed down.

A few meters further along this corridor, another slightly larger hole appeared.There is no such lamp dish in the hole, it is pitch black.

Since I didn't hear any sound, I didn't pay too much attention, and just passed through the hole.

Who knows, just after I passed that hole, I heard Shi Jin behind me exclaim and at the same time a gunshot.

With a bang, a flame burst out.

When I heard Shi Jin's cry, I quickly turned my head to look.Just in time, I saw Shi Jin's muzzle glowing, and iron sand sprayed out, hitting a figure.

I don't know when this figure appeared here.I suspect that this person has been hiding in that hole, but because it was too dark there, I didn't find him when I passed by.After I passed by, he suddenly appeared, maybe he was going to attack me, and was discovered by Shi Jin, so he fired a shot in desperation.
