The years of reselling the haunted house

I didn't go into his room for two days, and I was shocked when I saw him.

Lao Qu hadn't seen him for two days, he was haggard a lot, his face was full of tiredness, his eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, and his beard had grown a lot. Maybe he didn't sleep much these two days.

Ma Di walked over and asked, "Old Qu, is it done?"

Qu Kangcheng shook his head.

Ma Di was taken aback: "Why? I don't think your progress is going well? Didn't you recover successfully?"

Qu Kangcheng unfolded the blueprint, feeling a little sad, and said, "I've let you down. Before, I was confident that I could recover to 80.00%. At the beginning, it was indeed smooth. According to the initial progress, I could even recover to 90.00% %. But later on, the progress slowed down, and now, it’s not bad to have 60.00% of the original picture.”

I saw Qu Kangcheng's redrawn drawing, which was already full of criss-cross lines, and many signs were marked inside.It looks like a complete architectural drawing.

In my layman's opinion, the drawing is already quite complicated.

And such a complicated blueprint, according to Qu Kangcheng, only recovered 60.00%.

I questioned: "Old Qu, how can this underground building be so complicated? This is not an underground palace. If it is really built according to the drawings, it will not be much worse than the palace on the ground."

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "Whether the underground building was completely built according to the blueprint, I can't say. But this blueprint is indeed drawn like this. In fact, I have already restored the big frame of this blueprint. What I mean by 60.00% means that I cannot fully restore the facilities and structures in each channel, each room. Therefore, if we want to go down to the underground palace, there will be many potential dangers. We must do well Sufficient mental preparation."

"That's good. Knowing the big picture, we will avoid a lot of detours. As for the danger, we can only play by ear." Ma Di said.

I looked at Ma Di and asked, "Old Ma, listen to what you mean, do you want to go down too?"

"Of course, Lao Qu and I are going down. This is a rare project, and I will complete it with Lao Qu. Didn't he say that this may be his last chance to make something famous." Ma Di said.

The fat man hurriedly said from the side: "Boss, you can't stop me this time. I blamed myself for not going down with you last time. This time Ma Di and Liang Yue are back, so I don't have to wait on the top to meet you." .”

Huang Wenbai also came over and said timidly: "Master Sai, this underground palace involves the ancestors of my Huang family, look at me..."

I know what Huang Wenbai means. This is where the ancestors of the Huang family, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, stationed their troops. This underground palace was probably built by them.In fact, we are all outsiders, and only Huang Wenbai is the one who should go to see the underground palace the most.

So I smiled: "Old man Huang, if you are not afraid of danger, you can go down if you want. But, I really can't guarantee the safety."

Huang Wenbai smiled: "Master Sai, you should have seen it too. The only wish left in my life is to know about the mysterious mission of our ancestors of the Huang family and to vindicate our ancestors of the Huang family. The abyss, mountains of knives and sea of ​​fire, I will go to explore without hesitation. Last time, you said you asked me to drive the car to pick them up, so I didn't say anything. This time, you must take me with you."

The people in this room made me laugh and cry, and said: "I said, everyone, this is not a trip to the underground palace, it is an adventure. No one can predict what will happen next, and you are still so scrambling to go on. What else can I say?"

Pang Dahai nodded: "Anyway, this is the situation, so we should dispatch all the members, and anyone who wants to go down can go down."

At this time, Meng Baolu suddenly opened the door and walked in through the door.A young man came in with him.

Meng Baolu brought the man up to us and introduced him, "Everyone, he is my nephew, his name is Meng Daqing. He is 23 years old this year. You can call him Daqing."

Meng Baolu pressed Meng Daqing's neck and made him nod to us all.

I asked puzzledly: "Old village chief, what are you..."

Meng Baolu explained: "Aren't you going to explore the cave? I thought, you are doing things for our village and taking risks for our village. We can't be so indifferent, can we? So we also try our best. Daqing is My nephew learned kung fu for a few days when he was a child, and his skills are not bad, so I asked him to go down with you, and let him do any dangerous and strenuous work."

I was taken aback: "Old village chief, we are willing to explore this crypt, so you don't have to feel sorry for it. It's really dangerous down there, and we're almost out of manpower. There's no need to send people to follow us down."

I'm telling the truth, knowing that there are many crises down there, but there are more and more people.If things go on like this, they will soon form a platoon.

As for going down to the crypt, it's not that the more people there are, the better, and it's not about fighting in groups. It's not necessarily a good thing to go down with so many people.

But Meng Baolu waved his hand: "Master, let Daqing go down with you. Otherwise, we will feel uneasy, right?"

Liang Yue tugged at me behind me, and said, "Okay, old village chief, let Daqing follow along."

Meng Baolu nodded: "Okay, then I'll take him to get ready."

With that said, Meng Baolu took that Meng Daqing away.

After watching them leave, Liang Yue said: "You still don't understand? The old village chief is worried about us, and sent someone around us to follow us. It's more like watching us than following us. .”

"No... no way? Although we have our own goals, we are also helping their village. Besides, what do we have to monitor?" I was very puzzled.

Ma Di said from the side: "Liang Yue girl is right. I think that's the case too. I guess we've been talking about underground palaces or something. The old village chief may have thought that gold and silver treasures might be found down there." Something. If there is a treasure, he is afraid that we will take it to ourselves. He thinks that the treasure below the village must belong to the village, and if he sends someone down, he will have an eyeliner."

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Oh my God, I haven't left a single horoscope. This old village chief really thinks far enough."

Chapter 1028

Ma Di nodded: "Other than that, I can't think of any other possibility."

After our analysis, Meng Baolu's intention is basically the same.I was impressed by Meng Baolu again. Since he thought of shuffling the 24-character mantra for others to identify, I thought his thinking was not simple, but I didn’t expect it to be applied to us now.

But this is not a big deal, and we don't have any intention of embezzling any treasure.Besides, there is no certainty about what can be found below, so why talk about treasures?

During these two days, the entrance to the crypt has been sealed with the bluestone slab.The person sent to guard also reported back the news, but there was no movement from below from the beginning to the end.

That little mason, Shi Jin, seemed to have disappeared since he got into the stone gate.

And our preparations for going down to the crypt again are also proceeding in an orderly manner.Gathering so many people, we haven't found other benefits for the time being, but it gave us a little confidence in our hearts. After all, there are more people, more strength, and more courage.

We prepared separately that day, and since we didn't know what we would encounter after going down, the equipment we had to carry was also different.But this is also good, there are many people going down, and when you need to use some equipment, you can also change them.

Of all people, only I have traveled the farthest in the crypt.And I just met mummies and those jackal-faced bats.According to my description, just bring that kind of net with you again.That net is still effective against jackal-faced bats.

At first, I thought that most of the jackal bats had been caught by Liang Yue with a net, and they were all dead.There are only a few left below, so it shouldn't be a problem.

But Qu Kangcheng said that as long as the bat king of the jackal-faced bat is not dead, more jackal-faced bats can be summoned.There should be more than one place in front of the stone gate in the underground palace, so the precautions must not be relaxed.

On the third morning, all of us gathered behind the small ancestral hall.

I counted roughly, I, Liang Yue, Pang Haihai, Ma Di, plus Qu Kangcheng, Huang Wenbai, and Meng Daqing later, there are seven people in this line.

When we arrived at the scene, we found that it had been decorated by Qu Kangcheng.There are many colorful flags planted around, and the top of the bluestone slab is also covered with red cloth.

There was also a table with a jar and some porcelain bowls on it.

Seeing us coming, Meng Baolu came up and said, "You guys are going to go down to the cave soon. I made a simple arrangement to make a good fortune. In addition, I prepared Zhuangxing wine. Let's drink it first to cheer up. When you come back triumphantly, I will set up a big banquet for you to celebrate. Come, pour wine..."

Meng Baolu yelled, and someone came up and removed the mud seal from the wine jar, and opened the lid.

The man dumped the wine jar and poured eight bowls of wine into the porcelain bowls on the table.

A scent of wine permeates, and the smell is intoxicating.Although I don't like drinking very much, in this atmosphere, I had to take a bowl of wine.

The seven of us stood in a row, each holding a bowl of wine, and Meng Baolu also held a bowl and stood in front of us.

This scene seems familiar, and I have seen it more than once in TV dramas. I wonder if the whole movement is a bit crazy?

Standing in front, Meng Baolu was very imposing, and mobilized us, comparing us to a strong man going out to fight, and the whole village will remember our kindness and so on.

Now even Huang Wenbai couldn't take it anymore, he shouted loudly: "I said, Lao Meng, we are not doing well, why does it sound like we are gone forever? Don't mess with this, it's useless, drink some It doesn't matter if you are strong and courageous after drinking, you hurry up and say it, and we can set off after drinking."

Meng Baolu smiled shyly: "Okay, let's do it!"

After that, we all had a sip of wine each.The wine smelled very fragrant and tasted very spicy. I only took a sip, and I felt my chest and lower abdomen burning.

After the others finished their drinks, they all followed what they saw on TV and dropped their wine bowls.My heart moved, and I asked Meng Baolu: "Old village chief, is there any more wine?"

"Yes, you haven't had enough? Give you two more bowls?"

I waved my hand: "That's not what it means, you put this wine in a wine bottle and bring me two bottles."

Meng Baolu nodded: "This is easy to handle. Master, you really have a good eye. This wine is our nearly 20-year-old wine."

As he said that, someone found two wine bottles and put the wine in the jar into them.

I took those two wine bottles and brought one for myself and one for the fat man.I feel that this wine may be used underground.

After drinking, Meng Baolu lifted the red cloth covering the bluestone slab and asked me: "Master, when do you think we will open this slate?"

I looked at the sky, the sun had just risen at this time, and it was the process of Yang Qi rising and Yin Qi sinking.

I waved my hand: "I don't need to look at the specific time, if everyone is ready, you can go down the cave now."

Meng Baolu nodded: "Okay, unseal."

Someone lifted the bluestone slab again.

As in the past, as the bluestone slab was opened, a gust of wind came out from inside again.I stood at the entrance of the cave and sprinkled the freshly prepared glutinous rice.

Then he waved his hand: "Go up the ladder and go down the cave."

The ladder was thrown down from the entrance of the cave, and that Meng Daqing volunteered: "I'll come first."

Who knew that Meng Baolu gave him a hand from the back: "You fart first. There is a master here, listen to the master. After you go down, you can't act without authorization. All actions must follow the master's arrangement, do you hear me?"

Meng Daqing could tell that he was a relatively naive and straightforward person, and he probably didn't have that much thought in his heart.However, Meng Baolu's move obviously did not want Meng Daqing to go down first and take risks.

After all, in the previous two times, something happened to both the big and the strong.He didn't want his nephew to have such an experience again.

But this is also a bit too obvious. It sounds nice on the lips, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Fat Dahai muttered beside him, "You don't look like a man. Boss, I'll come first."

As he said that, Pang Dahai grabbed the ladder and lowered himself into the hole.

Meng Daqing glanced at Meng Baolu, his face flushed, obviously he blushed because of what the fat man said.This time he was afraid that everyone would look down on him, so he followed Pang Haihai and went down the ladder.

I reminded them: "When you get below, light the torches and wait for everyone to arrive before acting."

The fat man responded.

Because we were afraid that the ladder would not be able to withstand it, we did not go down all at once, but in batches and batches.

Chapter 1029

Fortunately, I have experience. After sowing a lot of glutinous rice, those jackal bats that can pose a threat to us should not attack us so soon.

Ma Su and Qu Kangcheng were old and were arranged to go down last.I, Liang Yue, Huang Wenbai, and I followed Fatty and Meng Daqing down the ladder to the cave.

Relatively speaking, I can be regarded as familiar with the road.So in the process of going down, there is no strange feeling.

When I got down to the ground, I found that Pang Dahai and Meng Daqing were each holding a torch, shining light into the depths of the corridor.

I quickly reminded: "Don't take random photos. Those bats flew out of that corridor. It is not sure that there are no other jackal bats left in the corridor."

When they came, they held the torch, and we followed the other people, stepping on the soft ladder from above to the ground one by one.

Don't look at Ma Di's age, but he often goes out into the wild, and his physical strength is not bad.But Qu Kangcheng's physical condition is very worrying.He came down from the top at a very slow speed, and he gasped for a while after coming down.

When all the people were standing under the hole, it was actually a bit crowded.

The space below the hole was not that big, and seven people rushed in all at once, and it was a bit difficult to even turn around.Most of them went down the cave for the first time, but they didn't have the fear they imagined.

On the contrary, it seemed like a group outing, and when they arrived at a curious place, they started talking in twos and threes.

Ma Su and Qu Kangcheng, Huang Wenbai and Meng Daqing, Pang Dahai and Liang Yue divided into three groups, pointing to the corridor not far ahead, chatting in low voices.

Instead, I was left alone.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I quickly waved my hands, lowered my voice as much as possible, and said, "Don't talk, everyone, can you let me say a few words?"

Fortunately, these people still listened to me. After listening to me, they each sealed their mouths and looked at me together.

I said with a bitter face: "I repeat, this is a crypt. Although Mr. Qu said that this may be some kind of underground palace. But it is underground after all. It has been 200 years since now, and anything can happen. There is nothing here. It is no exaggeration to say that every step you take in a leisure place may be dangerous. So I ask everyone to cheer up, but don't be so relaxed. Right in front, I found blood, which is Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang What is left. There is also the earthen gun that was broken in half, which was grabbed by the bat. And these are just the beginning, there is still a long way to go, let's get together, can we have some organization and discipline? ? At least don’t chat so unscrupulously? Can you at least give the creatures in this underground palace a face and don’t look down on them so much?”

The few people I faced were Lao Ma, Lao Qu, and Huang Wenbai, who were old seniors, and I couldn't speak too harshly, lest they would not be able to step down.So when it comes to later, my half-joking sentence also makes them smile easily.

I kind of regret that I should have told them this before going down the hole.I really didn't expect that it would be difficult for seven people to integrate together.If you continue to move forward in such a chaotic manner, without organization and discipline, and if you really encounter danger, the consequences will be really unpredictable.

Pang Dahai stood up at this time, and said in a low voice: "My boss is right, we can't be so disorganized and undisciplined, since we are together, we are a whole. A man can't walk without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head. I recommend The boss is our temporary captain, do you have any opinions?"

Everyone recognized me very much, and the fat man raised it, and no one objected.After all, I have already gone to the crypt once before them.

But I waved my hand: "Captain, I can't do it. Although I walked down here for a while, it is only an insignificant distance for the entire underground palace. But it is true that a leader is needed. I recommend the song Mr. Kang Cheng Qu is the captain, and I can cooperate with him. Because the map was drawn by Qu Lao, Qu Lao knows the terrain and structure below me much better than me. In addition, he also has similar experience, so please don’t decline .That's it for now."

I know that Qu Kangcheng is not a competitive person, let alone this temporary captain, he is even less likely to want to be the captain, after all, being the captain will bring more responsibilities.But I also know that in this case, some things need to be handled arbitrarily.So what I said didn't leave Qu Kangcheng room to maneuver.

Everyone agreed with what I said.Sure enough, Qu Kangcheng wanted to decline, but after hearing my attitude and everyone's reaction, he finally agreed.

The seven people quickly selected the leader, and the next step is to really step into this mysterious underground palace.

Qu Kangcheng took out the restored blueprint from his body, and said, "According to the instructions above, the hole we came down from was not a real passage, but should have been left as a vent at that time. Come down from here." , as you have seen in front, there is a corridor. Li Yang has already walked through it, and this is the only passage from this vent to the depths of the underground palace. So now we need to pass through that corridor to reach a stone gate in front .”

I nodded and added, "I'm the jackal-faced bat that I encountered in front of the stone gate. Now the Bat King is still here, everyone, be careful."

Qu Kangcheng added: "Because our team has a large number of people, there may be a distance between the head and the tail when we are marching. So everyone must pay attention, and we must not get separated. But in the process of marching, we must not be close to each other. If it’s too close, keep a distance of about two meters between every two people, so that in the event of an accident, other people will have time to rescue. In addition, if you find anything unusual, you must ventilate in time.”

It seems that I chose Qu Kangcheng to lead the team, and I chose the right person.Judging from the steps he arranged, he did have a lot of similar experiences.

I waved my hand: "Everyone, don't be too intimidated. I will walk through this passage, at least nothing will happen until I reach the end. How about this, I will open the way first, and everyone will follow me."

I took out the Jianglong wooden sword, took a torch, and walked into the corridor first.

Liang Yue followed me closely with the net for catching bats.Behind them are Pang Dahai and others.

Since I have already walked into the passage, I can't see what arrangement is behind it.
