The years of reselling the haunted house

Although it was a short distance, Lao Qu ran a little too fast, and when he ran into the passage, he was still out of breath, and even coughed a few times violently.

I asked with concern: "Old Qu, your body..."

Qu Kangcheng waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm getting old and have a lot of old problems."

In half a minute, we will arrive when we talk about it.As we spoke, the wall behind us closed again.

It seems that the builder opened two doors on the wall.These two doors slide left and right, somewhat similar to our modern side sliding doors.Moreover, when the door slid to both sides, there was not much sound.This made me admire the uncanny workmanship of the ancients again.

But at one point, after we entered this extra passage, it was pitch black, without the oil lamps on both sides of the wall.

I hurriedly took out half of the torch from my backpack and lit it again.

The flames rose up, making the space a little more bright.By the light of the fire, I noticed that the passage we were in was a kind of dome structure, and it could be seen from the wall that it was made of stones.The width of the passage is also much narrower than the one outside, roughly only about two meters.

And this channel has been extended forward.Looking further ahead, it is also pitch black.

When Qu Kangcheng coughed just now, there was already an echo from the depths.I didn't yell at Fatty and the others again, because I believe that if they were here, they would definitely be able to hear us.

It's a pity that we made a lot of noise after we came in, but we didn't get any response from them.

This made my heart hang again.

"Maybe they continued to go inside in order to find us. Let's go inside again." Liang Yue suggested from the side.

Qu Kangcheng also said: "Based on my experience, building such a passage must have a strong purpose. The place the passage leads to should be very important to the entire underground palace. Maybe they stumbled into this place by mistake. , On the contrary, it provides us with a shortcut. Otherwise, it may be difficult for us to touch the core area of ​​this underground palace. If this is the case, then we will be considered a blessing in disguise."

I nodded, no matter what the purpose is, since we have already entered, we must go further.

I held the torch, Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng followed behind me, walking step by step towards the depths of the passage.

The temperature in the underground palace was originally very low. We have gone through so many things, which made our hearts hot, and we have already adapted to the temperature here, so we don't feel that cold.

In the empty tunnel of the underground palace, the footsteps of the three of us came out, one after another, high and low.

To be honest, before I came down to this underground palace, because of the incident of Da Zhuang Er Zhuang, I thought that there must be many evil spirits under this underground palace, and once people came down, they would definitely encounter a vicious fight.With luck, you can defeat evil spirits.If you are unlucky, you may be harmed by evil spirits.

But since walking down, except for the group of zombies wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, I haven't encountered any other evil spirits.

Even the zombies did not attack in groups, only one of them spotted us.And now those zombies are gone.

Relatively speaking, we are very safe at this moment.I just don't know whether this safety is temporary or the calm before the storm.

Due to the smaller space of this passage, whether it is the walls on both sides or the roof above the head, it gives us a great sense of oppression.

This sense of oppression was unprecedented in the passage outside.

Sometimes, this kind of invisible pressure can persecute people more fiercely and stronger.We didn't take a few steps outside, and in this extremely cold underground passage, we all broke out in a lot of cold sweat.

Despite the inexplicable pressure, none of us stopped and kept moving forward steadily.

We were moving forward when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from the front.

The sound of footsteps was obviously not from the few of us, and it disappeared quickly.The footsteps were crisp, and it sounded like someone was trotting past.

I shook my head, and we stopped at the same time.In this environment, even the slightest turmoil will make us feel like we are in danger.

I wiped the sweat from my brow and whispered, "Could it be Fatty and the others?"

Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng shook their heads at the same time. I don't know if they mean no or they don't know.

Think about it too, such a question will definitely not get an answer.If you want to know the answer, you have to go and check it out.

We walked some distance further, and the footsteps never appeared again.Instead, a faint light appeared directly ahead.

In such a dark environment, the little light is particularly dazzling.

And the further we go, the brighter the light becomes, and there is nothing to stop us.We were able to walk out of this passage without incident.

We didn't expect that when we poked our heads out of this narrow passage, what kind of grand scene would be displayed in front of our eyes?

The space here is incomparably large, and like the passage, it is a dome structure.

The overall construction is mainly made of stone.The stone wall of the dome adopts a structure with a round sky and a square place.

The ground is square, but the side length of this square is roughly estimated to be five to sixty meters away.

On the dome, there are countless light spots, and the distribution of those light spots is not regular, in twos and threes.

Qu Kangcheng looked up at the dome, and said in a low voice, "My heaven, the light spots on it are all stars."

Only then did I realize that the dome was like the sky, and the light spots were like stars.The ancients still did a lot of research on astrology, and believed in it.

Chapter 1044 Stone Cauldron, Sarcophagus

Unexpectedly, this kind of natural astrology was completely moved into this underground palace.

It can be seen from this that the builder of this underground palace, or the initiator of the construction of the underground palace, has some ideas.

This is true in the sky, and the decorations on the ground are even more staggering.

In this square space, many things are placed.In the middle, there is a huge stone tripod.

The stone cauldron looked to be more than ten meters high, and it had a unique shape, standing on the ground full of momentum.

Since we are still some distance away from the huge stone tripod, some details of the tripod have not yet been clearly seen.

And around the stone cauldron, surrounding the big cauldron, there are mouthfuls of sarcophagi.

The size of the sarcophagus is not small, and it looks cold in the eyes.

A thick iron chain is tied to each sarcophagus, and the other end of the iron chain is tied to the huge stone tripod.

The sarcophagi were covered with lids, so there was nothing alarming about them.

But the aura displayed by the stone tripods and the sarcophagus in the whole space will make people feel inexplicably small.

The reason why we can see these things clearly is because there are dozens of oil lamps on the surrounding walls.Those oil lamps are much brighter than those in the previous passage.

Although the light in the whole space is not too bright, it can also provide enough lighting.

I observed it again, and it seemed that there was no fourth person in this space except the three of us.

Who are the footsteps we just heard?

The three of us stood in place, staring at the scenes in front of us, for 5 minutes.

If Liang Yue and I saw this structure and scene, we were more shocked.When Naqu Kangcheng saw this, it was as if he had discovered a new continent.

He was so excited that he took out a small camera from his backpack, which was not much bigger than a matchbox.

"It's spectacular, it's amazing, it's a miracle..." Qu Kangcheng held up the small camera, and while taking pictures of the dome and the sarcophagus, he walked forward, gradually passed through the sarcophagus, and walked towards the stone tripod in the middle walked over.

"Hey, Old Qu." I wanted to remind Qu Kangcheng to be aware of the danger, but Qu Kangcheng didn't care about it, and walked into the depths on his own.

There was no other way, so Liang Yue and I had no choice but to follow behind.Of course, I also want to see the real face of Shi Ding.

Seen from a distance, this stone tripod is full of majesty, it should be a rare thing in the world.

We passed those sarcophagi, and although the lids of the coffins were covered, my intuition was that the coffins would not be empty.

But one more thing is worse than one less thing. At this moment, I have no plans to open the coffin.Although I really want to open that coffin and see who is lying inside?

There is no precedent for curiosity killing the cat, and I am trying my best to restrain my desire.

Qu Kangcheng, who was in front, had already come under the stone tripod holding his camera, and Liang Yue and I followed closely.

Observing the stone tripod at a close distance, I found that the stone tripod was far away, unattainable.

There are many patterns and characters engraved on the stone tripod, and the craftsmanship is unparalleled.

What attracted our attention even more was that the stone tripod was round rather than square, and there were some dragon bodies carved around the stone tripod.

We circled the stone cauldron for about ten minutes.

After inspection, there are a total of nine dragons climbing on top of the stone tripod.Each of those dragons has different shapes and shapes.

But the carving of each piece is surprisingly exquisite, and the stone dragon is lifelike, with its head up and its tail up, as if it is about to soar into the sky.

Stone dragon and stone tripod complement each other.It makes you unable to see whether the dragon is supporting the tripod or the tripod is setting off the dragon.

I also noticed that the other end of the iron chains tied to the nine sarcophagi was tied to the stone dragon's tail.

So there are nine dragons here, so there must be nine sarcophagi.

Standing in the middle of the stone tripod is surrounded by nine dragons, and nine coffins are tied to the nine dragons.

It is such a structure that fills the entire space.

Qu Kangcheng finished taking pictures, put away the camera, and continued to look up at the stone tripod.

I walked over and asked in a low voice: "Old Qu, will this be the center of the entire underground palace? Is this the only stone tripod placed in this underground palace?"

Qu Kangcheng shook his head: "This is definitely not the center. But this place should have played an important role in the entire underground palace, and the purpose of building the underground palace should come from here."

I looked at the space of the dome structure, and it seemed that there was no other exit except the entrance we came in.

But this is not necessarily the case, there must be many institutions in the underground palace.The reason why we can find this place is not because we discovered other passages by chance?

I took a look at Qu Kangcheng, the old man was holding a flashlight, carefully illuminating the surface of the stone tripod.

There are a lot of characters engraved on it, which looks like Manchu, and I must not be able to read it.But I know that the old man Qu Kangcheng is proficient in many languages, including Manchu.

Looking at the writing on the stone tripod, he might be able to figure out the secrets of the stone tripod, the sarcophagus, and even the cave.

"Da da da……"

We were observing under the stone tripod when suddenly a series of sounds came from the surrounding walls.

The sound was very much like the footsteps left by someone running past quickly.

But when we looked around, we didn't find half a person.

Isn't that exactly what we heard when we were in the tunnel?At that time, I still suspected that it was Pang Dahai and the others.Now that the voice came out again, it made me dispel this doubt.

Because there is no one here, the sound of footsteps is even more impossible to talk about.

"Li Yang, why do I hear this voice as if it came from that sarcophagus?"

Liang Yue suddenly pulled my clothes and said.

"In the sarcophagus? How can..." I replied subconsciously, but before I finished speaking, I heard another rattling sound.

This time, the sound came from the sarcophagus closest to us, and we heard it clearly.

So I swallowed my words before I finished speaking.

It was not the sound of footsteps coming from the coffin.

In fact, we have experienced so many things, we have no fear of coffins.The coffin is just a way of preserving the dead body after death.It's like the bottles and jars we use every day, but the things they hold are different.

So even though we came here and saw nine strange sarcophagi, we didn't pay much attention to them, we just wanted to reveal the secrets of the stone tripod and sarcophagus as soon as possible.

But there was movement in the coffin, and we were a little worried.

Could it be that the corpse in the coffin has changed again?After all, we just brushed shoulders with that Qing dynasty zombie.Bao Buqi's coffin here is also that kind of zombie.

Chapter 1045 Crimson Worm

Liang Yue and I quickly moved our bodies together, held the wooden sword in our hands, protected Qu Kangcheng behind us, and stared at the sarcophagi vigilantly.

But the old man Qu Kangcheng completely ignored the sarcophagi at this moment, but focused on the writing on the stone cauldron, muttering something in his mouth.

It's true that things of a kind flock together and people form groups. Qu Kangcheng's attitude and posture in researching things are exactly the same as the strange professor Ma Di.

I know this kind of person. At this time, unless you pull him away from Shi Ding by his ears, he will probably not move even if he is struck by lightning.

Qu Kangcheng must have discovered clues from the writing on the stone tripod, so he wanted to learn more from it.

Liang Yue and I stared at the movement of the sarcophagus.The sound of da da da came from the sarcophagus in front of us, more like a signal.Immediately afterwards, the other sarcophagi also made similar sounds.

It's just that the sounds from these coffins are not exactly the same.There are high and low tones, some are dull, and some are high-pitched.

This reminds me that there is a physical phenomenon, the same several glasses are placed side by side, and water of different capacities is poured into them. , can play a beautiful tune.

Could it be that this is the reason why these coffins make different noises?I was thinking wildly in my heart, and I couldn't find a suitable answer.And the sound from the coffin still continued.This voice sounded chaotic to me, and there was no pattern to follow.

"Look, there's something coming out of it." Liang Yue suddenly pointed to a coffin in front of us and shouted.

I was startled, and looked closely.

Sure enough, under the lid of the coffin, groups of black shadows crawled out of it.

There should be a gap under the lid of the sarcophagus, and the things inside crawled out of that gap.
