Chapter 22 3 River Festival

Qiao Yan and the others formed a circle, each of them held a beef tendon in their hands, and chewed it expressionlessly.

"I finished eating another one, here you are." Lao Lin handed the iron skewer for stringing beef tendon to Su Ji who was squatting in front of the stone platform, pushed his glasses, and then took out another one from Xiaobai's backpack, He continued chewing expressionlessly.

Su Ji was holding a bunch of iron drills, and was trying to screw those things together.

The atmosphere in the entire tomb was lifeless, and everyone's heart was also lifeless at the moment...except for Xiaobai who was eating happily.

"Oh, my old teeth, who is this bar from? It's not a bar, it's obviously rubber!" Boss Liang shouted, clutching his teeth.

Chu Li silently bit off a large piece and chewed vigorously, "Don't complain, okay, if the tools we can use to pry the stone platform are not in the hands of three people on the other road, we wouldn't be here like this In a situation full of crises, it is unusually joyful to sit here in a circle to eat beef ribs and save iron brazing, tsk tsk tsk, tomb robbers like this, just think about it."

"Hiss..." Boss Liang bared his teeth and turned his head, "Qiao Yan, I said your daughter-in-law...is there anything else in the bag? This tendon is killing me."

Qiao Yan ignored him, Chu Li threw Su Ji an iron spit that he had just finished eating, passed Qiao Yan and reached out to flip it over, "There are also spicy small snails, but the ice used for freezing has melted into water, Do you want it?"

"...Forget it, I'll just eat my gluten," said Boss Liang, sinking his head into the struggle.

Xiaobai tilted his head, looked at Qiao Yan's still angry face, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and asked nervously, "Yanyan, are you still angry with me...I'm sorry, I...I I won't be taking these things with me in the future."

Qiao Yan chewed and chewed, but ignored Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai lowered his head, a trace of sadness flashed across his stiff face, "I thought this time it would be like the outing on TV, where you can live in a tent and have a picnic...I'm sorry."

Qiao Yan continued chewing...

"Yanyan, let me tell you a joke. You will feel better after hearing it, so don't be angry anymore." Xiaobai carefully looked at Qiao Yan's expression, and then said, "A dog saved Luo The cat in the river, guess what the cat will say to the dog when it lands?"

Lao Lin held up the iron chisel and hurriedly replied, "The cat said thank you for saving me."

Xiaobai shook his head.

Chu Li raised the iron chisel and quickly replied, "The cat said that your dog planing skills are really good."

"..." Qiao Yan chewed viciously.

Xiaobai continued to shake his head, and raised a finger, "The cat said..."

Everyone poked their heads and stared at Xiaobai with full curiosity, "What are you talking about?"

"Meow~" Xiaobai opened his mouth, "Meow~"

Qiao Yan's cheeks that were still chewing froze for a moment, and several red bloodshot eyes burst out instantly. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a thud, Qiao Yan's throat moved, and finally swallowed the strong beef tendons in his mouth smoothly.

"Cough cough cough, I rely on this is really rubber, cough cough cough, I can't even open my mouth and keep chewing, cough cough cough" Qiao Yan coughed while covering his throat, and passed a bottle of water beside him, Qiao Yan He hurriedly took a big gulp from the hand holding the water, and then saw Xiaobai holding the bottle, with a disturbed expression on his face, he didn't dare to look up.

Sighing slightly, Qiao Yan reached out and rubbed the top of Xiaobai's head, "You... Forget it, let's have a real outing when we go back, and you are allowed to bring these things then."

Xiao Bai raised his head, and suddenly broke into a smile, his eyes sparkled... Qiao Yan suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"No need to eat, the tool is ready." Su Ji shouted, and everyone threw all the bars in their hands in an instant, throwing them as far as they could.

Su Ji firmly inserted the sharp end of the chisel into the gap of the stone platform, Qiao Yan and Chu Li stretched out their hands to push the stone platform, and the rest went to the other side and pressed the other end of the chisel hard.

"one two three!"

The stone platform made a sharp rubbing sound, and was slowly lifted up. Qiao Yan and Chu Li gritted their teeth and pushed the stone platform away until it was big enough for people to jump in before letting go.

"Listen to the sound below and the water flow. Let's go down hand in hand. Remember not to separate. If this is built according to what I know, then the water channel will eventually lead to the outside. The most important central position of this tomb is a A relatively large pool. If we want to find the main tomb, we have to go up that larger pool." Su Ji said.

Because of Su Ji's special physique, she took the lead, followed by Chu Li, Xiao Bai, Qiao Yan, Lao Lin, and Boss Liang.

A group of people held hands and went down slowly. The water was not very deep, just up to waist level, but the water was so cold that Qiao Yan shivered.

There was no light at all under the waterway, and Qiao Yan couldn't see anything in front of him. Here, his hearing was infinitely amplified, and everyone's footsteps and even the sound of rapid breathing were very obvious.

Walking forward in the dark, the water began to become turbulent. Qiao Yan felt Xiaobai's hand tightening constantly, so he squeezed his hand to signal him not to be nervous.

The underwater ground was very slippery. Qiao Yan and the others wanted to walk slowly, but being pushed forward by the increasingly rapid current, they could only try their best to keep their balance.

Suddenly, Qiao Yan felt something brush against his leg under the water, the slippery and cold feeling was very obvious even in the water.

"Wait, do you feel something underwater? The body is slippery and cold." Qiao Yan yelled.

Chu Li's body was startled suddenly, and he shouted, "No, it's the water demon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Boss Liang's shrill cry, but Qiao Yan couldn't see anything in the dark, he could only feel that the whole body of Lao Lin he was holding was trembling.

"Help me!!! That... that thing is crawling on me!!!" Boss Liang shouted with a trembling sound, and Qiao Yan heard the violent thumping sound behind him.

The Soul Slashing Sword was hanging on Qiao Yan's waist. Amidst Boss Liang's increasingly shrill cry, Chu Li's mind moved quickly, and then he shouted, "Boss Liang, if you want to survive, listen to me. I'll call out later!" You immediately let go, and we lean against the wall to let you follow the water to me, and I will be responsible for stopping the water demon on your body, and then Qiao Yan stabs the water demon with your sword."

"No, I can't see at all." Qiao Yan denied.

"Qiao Yan, you can see it, just like when you and Xiaobai dealt with the red tongue, there is no time to die, and if you drag it on, Boss Liang will die, and then the water demon will tear us apart one by one! Boss Liang, Let go now!"

Boss Liang yelled to let go of his hands. The water flow drove him forward, and Qiao Yan and the others pressed their backs against the wall.Boss Liang quickly passed Qiao Yan along the water and came to the front. Chu Li made great movements. Amidst the splashing of water splashes, there was an extremely sharp, childlike scream.

"Qiao Speak!" Chu Li shouted.

Qiao Yan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, let go of his hand and quickly drew out the sword hanging from his waist, and swung the sword directly following the strong feeling in his heart.The sword pierced something, and Qiao Yan heard the sound of his skin being torn apart. The water flow became more turbulent at this moment, and his body was involuntarily moved by the water flow.

"Little Bai! Chu Li! Su Ji! Are you all right?" Qiao Yan clasped his hands on the wall, but it was too slippery, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't grasp it.

"It's fine for now, we can't control our bodies now, Qiao Yan, be careful, there is more than one water demon underwater!" Chu Li's voice sounded from the front.

The few people were floating like flat boats in the stormy sea. Qiao Yan stood in front of him with his sword in his hand, and would stab at him whenever he felt something strange.They drifted all the way, until they suddenly fell into a larger square pool, and the water flow became calm.

On the top of the pool is a large stone slab, with a small hole exposed on one side, revealing a little gleam.Through the light, Qiao Yan could see that Boss Liang was leaning against the corner of the pool with blood on his clothes wet with water.

"How do we go up?" Su Ji was completely drenched, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Chu Li looked up at the hole, "Xiaobai, can you still use the soul rope?"

"My spiritual power has been greatly restrained in this place, and I can only use my best for a while." Xiao Bai thought for a while and replied.

Chu Li nodded, "Try to persevere. I'll go up first, try to pry the hole bigger, and use the soul rope to get everyone up."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yan saw a furry fiery red figure jumping up from the water and jumping directly onto his head. The big tail slammed fiercely on Qiao Yan's face, and the exquisite petite hoof kicked Qiao Yan's head vigorously. Jumped straight out of that hole.

"..." Qiao Yan's face was covered with red marks from the fox's tail, and he didn't know what expression to make at the moment.

Boss Liang closed his eyes in half-death and did not see such an astonishing scene, while Lao Lin, who was exhausted, seemed numb to such surprises, just pushed his glasses without any reaction.

The stone platform above was slowly pushed away by Chu Li, the light in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, Chu Li poked his head out, "Xiaobai, let's get Boss Liang up first."

Lao Lin and Qiao Yan dragged and dragged Boss Liang to the soul rope that Xiaobai used, and connected Chu Li above to get Boss Liang up.Then came Lao Lin, Su Ji, and Qiao Yan.

After Qiao Yan jumped up, he looked around and found that the tomb was surrounded by lights and there were many paintings on the walls.He didn't look carefully, turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Xiaobai up.

Xiaobai was hanging on the soul rope, his mouth tightly pursed, halfway through the pull, Qiao Yan suddenly felt the soul rope lighten in his hand, and it became translucent.

"Xiaobai has lost his spiritual power." Chu Li stretched out his body to pull Xiaobai, but he couldn't reach Xiaobai who was hanging in the air.

Seeing that the soul rope was about to disappear, Qiao Yan bent the sword he was still holding, holding the sharp blade tightly in his palm, and stretched out the short handle towards Xiao Bai, "Hold it quickly!"

Xiaobai clenched the short handle tightly, and the soul rope completely disappeared at this time.Qiao Yan frowned, and pulled Xiao Bai up with his arms. His palm was cut, and blood dripped down Xiao Bai's body along the blade of the sword.

The expression on Xiaobai's face changed from surprise to confusion, and something flashed in his eyes. Qiao Yan gritted his teeth and finally pulled him up. Spreading his palm, he saw that the deep gash was bleeding.

Xiaobai grabbed his hand, tore his clothes into strips, and helped Qiao Yan tie it up to stop the bleeding.His face was still pale and stiff, but the hand that bandaged Qiao Yan trembled uncontrollably.

"It's okay, it's really okay, oops, don't look like you're about to cry," Qiao Yan looked at his stiff face, and could see his emotions from it, "It's okay, be good."

Xiaobai didn't say anything, just grabbed Qiao Yan's hand and didn't let go.

After doing this, the physical strength of several people was almost exhausted. They sat on the ground and looked around.

This is an ear room, surrounded by some ghost objects, and paintings are painted on the entire wall.The continuous paintings seem to tell a story. There is a river with huge waves, and a hideous monster face is revealed in it. A group of people of different shapes are standing on the bank, holding weapons in their hands, as if they are fighting against it.

Looking at the painting on the wall, Qiao Yan seemed to feel that the people in the picture were moving, but when he looked closely, there was no movement.

Lao Lin picked up the object closest to him and looked at it carefully.

"Bronze drum? Boyangfu's tomb still has this thing?" Old Liang said with half-opened eyes.

"It says that it is used for sacrifices, and sacrifices to the earth." Lao Lin said, "the objects of sacrifice in the Zhou Dynasty were divided into three categories: heavenly gods, earthly gods, and human ghosts. The gods of heaven include Haotian God, Sun, Moon, and Stars, Sizhong, and Siming. , wind master, and rain master; the land only includes the land, the five sacrifices, the five mountains, the mountains, the rivers, and the four directions: humans and ghosts refer to the ancestors. The sacrifice is easy to understand, but why should the sacrifice be built underground. And Dege I have said that when they came in, they saw the coffin in the tomb, why did the sacrifices have to be held in the tomb? Doing so would only offend the gods."

"Yanyan, what's wrong with you?" Xiaobai suddenly shouted.

Qiao Yan looked at the mural on the wall expressionlessly, his eyes were dazed, his movements were stiff but firm, he got up slowly, and walked towards the mural step by step.

Xiaobai held his hand, but he walked without leaving his eyes as if he didn't feel it.

"What's the matter?" Chu Li also stepped forward to grab him, but Qiao Yan threw him away, and his body flew up and hit another wall.

Chu Li fell to the ground and vomited blood, "Damn, Qiao Yan, you are so dazed that you treat him differently! Why don't you hit Xiaobai!!!"

While speaking, Qiao Yan had already reached the wall. He lifted the hand held by Xiao Bai, and quietly stroked the paintings on the wall. A trace of resentment finally appeared on his expressionless face.

Suddenly he shook off Xiaobai, and swung the sword against the wall, again and again, the Soul Slashing Sword was different from usual, now it was glowing dark red, and a bloodthirsty aura came towards him.

Su Ji and Chu Li looked at each other, but they couldn't understand the current situation.

Qiao Yan swung his sword a few times before the wall collapsed, and there was another tomb in front of him. There was a huge coffin in it, and a stone tablet stood in front of the coffin.

Qiao Yan stood there straight, his eyes turned red, he slashed at the stele with a knife, but his body seemed to be hit by something invisible, rebounded heavily, and fell to the ground.Xiaobai rushed over to see how he was doing, but he pushed him away.

"What is written on the stele?" Boss Liang exclaimed.

Lao Lin narrowed his eyes, "This... this is written on it is Zhou Youwang Taishi Boyangfu. There is a long spell in the middle, and the content behind it says that this is the nine curses that will never reincarnate. What are the nine curses?"

Chu Li explained, "The Nine Resentment Curse is to torture nine people with extremely negative fates to death with nine extremely cruel methods. When they are about to die, their bones are sealed in an urn engraved with the eternal curse. , placed in the nine most yin places of the tomb. Doing so will turn the people in the tomb into ghosts and be trapped in the tomb forever. But why are the priests placed with such a tomb full of hatred?"

"If it's Ji Gongyan, it's not uncommon to do this." Su Ji said quietly, "The sacrifice is fake, and his real purpose of establishing this place is to suppress. Use the ghosts transformed from the spirits of the ten clans of Boyangfu to suppress the god of Sanchuan , he thought he would succeed, but the dragon veins were destroyed, and the God of Sanchuan no longer had any scruples, and finally he was furious and ruined the Western Zhou Dynasty."

There were bursts of wailing all around suddenly. There were men, women and children. Countless people seemed to have encountered a terrible thing, and the cries were almost loud.

Several people widened their eyes and found that the huge coffin was moving, as if something was struggling inside, trying to break through the coffin.

On this side, Qiao Yan stood up abruptly, swung his sword again and rushed towards the stele, or rather he rushed towards the coffin behind the stele, and was bounced back by an invisible force without any surprise.

The wailing and crying around became louder and louder. Boss Liang and Lao Lin tightly covered their ears, turned their eyes upwards, and blood slowly flowed from the seven orifices.

Su Ji, Chu Li, and Xiaobai's faces were equally ugly, and they gritted their teeth tightly, resisting the bursts of voices.

Qiao Yan's eyes were still dazed, he held on to the sword and remained motionless.

And in this chaos, no one saw the dark red slowly spreading from the top of their heads...
