Hit the yin and yang road
Chapter 72
When entering through the narrow hole, you need to bend over and get short, and it took about five or six minutes to paddle the bamboo raft before the field of vision gradually widened.Chen Yang could stand up straight, but he could still touch the ceiling of the cave with his hand, and he couldn't stand up.
The inside of the cave is narrow and tight, and you can't see your fingers.Kou Xuanling took out three headband flashlights and handed them to Chen Yang and Lu Xiuzhi, who put them on and turned on the flashlights.
The walls of the cave are wet, and the wall above the head is still seeping water.The water surface under the bamboo raft was pitch black and bottomless.There was a fork in the road ahead, Kou Xuanling asked Chen Yang: "Which way to go?"
Chen Yang took out the map to check: "On the right."
Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi rowed the bamboo raft to the right and entered from inside.It was quiet in the cave, and the water surface was also very calm. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of water. Chen Yang looked down, and the water surface had returned to calm.Kou Xuanling said, "Is there something under the water?"
Chen Yang stared at the water surface vigilantly: "Obviously. Give me a fire talisman." Kou Xuanling handed him a fire talisman, and Chen Yang took it and ignited it and threw it three meters away from the bamboo raft. The fire talisman was on the water surface Start a big fireball.Lighting up the entire cave and water surface, they could clearly see countless black crazy surges in the water surface away from the fireball.
"There are black snakes in the water, they are afraid of light." Chen Yang withdrew his gaze, and as the bamboo raft moved forward, he saw a corpse by the crack of the cave where only one person could stand, and the black snake was wrapped around the corpse.As soon as the light shone, the black snakes wriggled away from the white bones. "Let's go quickly, these black snakes eat human flesh."
Kou Xuanling: "Okay." The three speeded up the boat, but found that the bamboo raft was getting heavier and heavier, until it was almost impossible to row. "What's going on?" Kou Xuanling lowered his head, looked down from the gap in the bamboo raft, and a dark shadow flashed under the water. "The back of the bamboo raft is full of black snakes."
Those black snakes entangled the bamboo raft under the water, densely packed, almost all rushed over.The bamboo raft became too heavy and began to sink, and it would not be long before it would directly capsize.Although the black snakes are afraid of lights, they are hidden behind the bamboo raft, so the lights can't reach them.
Chen Yang: "It seems that these black snakes are entangled on the back of the bamboo raft, making the bamboo raft overturned and entangled on people to eat them up. I brought wormwood, which can be used to ignite the wormwood and the fire talisman. Using the two together should be able to Drive away the black snake, let's hurry up during this time."
Lu Xiuzhi also took out the wormwood from the cloth bag: "I also brought some wormwood, Ah Xuan, how about you?"
Kou Xuanling: "I brought realgar wine."
"Enough." Chen Yang said calmly. "Old Kou, wait for the black snake to leave the bamboo raft, let's paddle quickly, and then use the fire talisman to ignite the realgar wine. Throw it to the place where the black snake gathers on the water surface."
Kou Xuanling nodded: "Okay."
Lighting wormwood can make snakes soft and dizzy, which is better than realgar powder and realgar wine.Realgar has a pungent smell. Snakes hate this smell but will not be harmed. This group of black snakes grew up eating meat, so they are probably much more vicious than ordinary snakes.Realgar alone may not be able to drive them away.
Chen Yang lit the wormwood, and everyone held the wormwood to infuse the water, and soon the cave was filled with the smell of wormwood.The black snake under the bamboo raft began to squirm uncomfortably, its tail flapping against the bottom of the water non-stop.Water splashed all around the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft almost fell over due to instability.Chen Yang and Lu Xiuzhi stabilized the bamboo raft, and the black snake under the bamboo raft gradually left.
Kou Xuanling slowly rowed the bamboo raft away, and looked back to see densely packed black snakes on the water.The group of black snakes were all fainted by the wormwood.Chen Yang: "Old Kou!" Kou Xuanling reacted quickly, picked up two jars of realgar wine, threw the fire talisman into the wine jar, and quickly threw the wine jar to the place where the black snake floated.
The wine jar exploded on the water surface, spreading a layer of fire on the water surface, most of the black snakes floating on the water surface were ignited, and the stench of burning was wafting from the air.Kou Xuanling held his nose: "Sure enough, it's an evil creature that eats flesh and blood. It smells so bad from being burnt."
Chen Yang looked away and asked, "Do you have any explosives?"
"No." Kou Xuanling rowed the bamboo raft and said, "The temporary decision is quite hasty. If you want to buy explosives, you have to go through a special channel." While rowing the bamboo raft, he leaned in front of Chen Yang to look at the map he had spread out on his lap: " Are you thinking about how to open the tomb door?"
"Correct."
"I wanted to use explosives, but I was worried that the explosives would blow up the cave and landslide. Forget it, let's talk about it when we get to the place." After folding the map and putting it away, Chen Yang said, "Keep moving forward. From here, when you turn a corner, your vision will It's getting more open. The map looks like it was drawn decades ago, so the difference shouldn't be too big."
When turning ahead, the field of vision really becomes wider, like a big lake.The roof of the cave is about four meters high from the water, and you can see the ground when you stand up.The three looked at the ground, ignoring the back.At this time, a thick shadow like a bucket appeared on the bottom of the water behind, moving silently towards the bamboo raft.
Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he noticed that the bronze coin in the center of the red line between his wrists was shaking violently.At the same time, the compass pointer in Kou Xuanling's hand also began to shake chaotically, and then it went straight to the rear.
The three looked calm, and the next moment the water shook violently and splashed everywhere.The bamboo raft was lifted up by a huge black snake. The black snake was as thick as a bucket and had an unknown length.He was trying to overturn the bamboo raft and shake the three people on it into the water.The three of Chen Yang shot at the same time, Kou Xuanling threw the mahogany sword to Lu Xiuzhi, Lu Xiuzhi took the mahogany sword and stabbed it into the gap of the bamboo raft quickly and mercilessly.It stabbed hard into the black snake's body, and the black snake swayed more violently in pain, and the water boiled like boiling soup.Chen Yang pulled down the red rope and threw the corroded stone pillar above his head. The other end was tied to the bamboo raft to stabilize the bamboo raft.
The water splashed and drenched everyone, and the black snake's huge strength brought everyone and the bamboo raft to roll underwater.The bamboo raft was fixed by the red rope again, and it soon lost its support and made a "cracking" sound.Chen Yang: "The bamboo raft is about to split."
Lu Xiuzhi bowed his head and pulled out his mahogany sword.The black blood instantly stained the entire water surface, but the water was also black, and there was no visible change at all, only the strong smell of blood.The giant snake sank into the bottom of the water to peek at the small bamboo raft on the lake, but the strong smell of blood concealed its whereabouts.The bronze coin vibrated violently in the air until it almost formed a phantom, and the compass pointer was in a mess, making it impossible to figure out the exact location of the giant snake.
Lu Xiuzhi lowered his eyes and looked calmly at the seemingly calm water. When he pulled out the mahogany sword, a few drops of blood splashed on his face.He said, "I'll go down and kill it."
"No." Kou Xuanling immediately objected, holding Lu Xiuzhi's hand: "It's too dangerous."
Chen Yang said: "If that black snake attacks again, the bamboo raft won't be able to hold on."
Lu Xiuzhi looked at the hand that was holding him, broke free and held Kou Xuanling's hand backhand, squeezed it and said with a smile: "Don't worry." After speaking, he jumped into the water and sank to the bottom.Kou Xuanling looked at the water anxiously, Chen Yang took back the red rope and said, "Don't worry, Brother Du said that Lu Xiuzhi is hiding something. I think Lu Xiuzhi himself is confident that he can kill that black snake."
Kou Xuanling frowned: "I'm worried that he will be injured."
Chen Yang stared at the water: "Let's go ashore first." It's just a black snake that hasn't developed its wits, and Lu Xiuzhi can handle it.Besides, he felt that with Lu Xiuzhi's cultivation, he didn't need such a complicated method as launching into the water to deal with the black snake.The opponent's goal was probably Kou Xuanling, and the old Kou was easily fooled.
After the two went ashore, Chen Yang took a leisurely look at the environment, while Kou Xuanling stood on the shore and watched the calm water.Not long after, the calm of the water surface was broken, and Lu Xiuzhi got out of the water, his black hair was disheveled, his clothes were soaked, and the body of the black snake floated up behind him.
Lu Xiuzhi, who was slowly walking towards him, was extraordinarily sexy, and Kou Xuanling coughed twice and looked away from the lively look on his face.His cheeks were a little hot, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Xiuzhi.He thinks his brother is a bit delicious... No, that's not what he meant, he just thinks the color is good.Kou Xuanling excused himself in his heart and tried his best to look at the beauty of his good brother with an open and pure heart.
"Ah Xuan?" Lu Xiuzhi waved his hand in front of Kou Xuanling, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing." Kou Xuanling was taken aback, and quickly answered him.Seeing his wet clothes and hair, he took off his short-sleeved jacket and put it on Lu Xiuzhi: "Put it on, don't catch a cold."
Lu Xiuzhi took the short-sleeved jacket and looked at Kou Xuanling fixedly: "Thank you, Axuan." His voice was deliberately lowered, as if he was wearing a hook, to seduce people's hearts.
Kou Xuanling was so teased that her face was blushing and her heart was pounding, and then she blamed herself so much that she was about to bury herself in the soil.He felt guilty, how could he think of a good brother like this?
Oh, good brother.Chen Yang looked away with a sneer. Just now, he quickly took a picture of the scene where Lu Xiuzhi came out of the water to deliberately seduce Kou Xuanling, and then sent the photo to Du Shuo: [Wet body temptation, old Kou will not be safe at night. ]
After a while, Du Shuo sent a sentence: [Not serious, delete. ] Below is a picture of the emperor showing off his abdominal muscles to show off his beauty.Immediately after the picture, several sentences were posted almost non-stop: [Look at mine, don't look at him. ], [No integrity, ugly. ], [Stay away from them. ]
Chen Yang twitched the corners of his mouth, saved the photos of Lao Du showing off his beauty, and then sent a message back: [You single young people have no morals, black belly and shameless. ]
The emperor frowned, staring at the phone screen with an extremely serious expression, and even stopped processing official documents.Chen Xiaoyang became more and more courageous, he just scolded others, but he even scolded his own man.It's getting worse and worse.
The Great Emperor was thoughtful, swiping the screen of his mobile phone, and saw the picture of Lu Xiuzhi's wet body sent by Chen Yang.I just felt hot eyes, so I quickly deleted it.Send a few words of warning: [In the future, if you encounter such a thing, remember to turn around and look away.It hurts the eyes a lot, so I want to see it. ]
After sending it, I saw Chen Xiaoyang's indifferent reply: [Oh. ]
The emperor was so angry that Chen Xiaoyang was getting more and more outrageous.
The 72 divisions below secretly looked at the emperor, but seeing that the emperor's expression became more serious, they thought he was reviewing official documents and encountered some serious case.He had looked like this before, and he was furious at that time.Therefore, the 72 subordinates were all frightened, fearing that the emperor would suddenly get angry.Fortunately, the next moment they saw the emperor's amiable face, and his breath became relaxed and cheerful.
Secretary 72 secretly winked, knowing in his heart that it must be the call from his sister-in-law.It's strange to say that the emperor's partner should be honored as the Empress of the Underworld, but I don't know when it spread throughout Fengdu's underworld that the affectionate title of 'Sister-in-Law'.
Chen Yang found the door of the tomb according to the map. The door of the tomb was a stone embedded in the wall of the cave.The diary describes in detail the appearance of the tomb door, with a hole in the middle that can be opened with a key.Kou Xuanling touched the moss-covered tomb door and asked, "Are you sure this is the tomb door?"
"Look for holes."
Kou Xuanling wiped off the moss, and indeed saw a T-shaped hole in the center of the tomb door: "There is a hole here."
Chen Yang looked at the hole, and after confirming that it was a key hole, he said, "This is the door of the tomb."
Kou Xuanling: "How to get in? Is there anything written in the diary?"
"Explosives. It says to use explosives, but I am worried that it will cause the cave to collapse. You can see that the soil is wet and the surface is soft." Suddenly a drop of water dripped from the cave in front of Chen Yang, and he looked up at the door of the tomb. After a while, he took the map and diary to Kou Xuanling for safekeeping: "I'll go up and have a look."
After saying that, he climbed the wall of the cave to the top of the door of the tomb, and saw a pit above the door of the tomb. Under the pit, there was a hole about ten centimeters in diameter, which was conical in shape.Lying on it, you can see the scene behind the door of the tomb. Maybe this pit was dug out by tomb robbers before.Chen Yang shouted to the two people below: "There is a hole in the top, you can go in by digging it."
Kou Xuanling went up to look and agreed with Chen Yang's proposal: "Use the detonating talisman." He took out the folded talisman from his pocket: "It's less powerful, but it's a bit more powerful than a firecracker, and it won't kill anyone." He posted a sticker near the entrance of the cave. He picked up nine magic symbols, and then jumped to the ground with Chen Yang to detonate the magic symbols.
The sound was not too loud, but it still echoed in the cave.Looking up again, the original small hole has now been enlarged enough for a person to get into.So the three entered the tomb one after another.Behind the door of the tomb is a five-meter-long corridor, and outside the corridor is a long horizontal corridor.The stone bricks on the promenade were intact and undamaged, and the oil lamps on both sides were not lit.
Chen Yang wiped some oil from the oil lamp with his index finger, his face was a bit solemn: "There is still oil on it, and the wick also has traces of ignition."
If this is an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period, the oil in the oil lamp would have dried up long ago.The wick should not show signs of being used unless there is still something living in the tomb.Kou Xuanling stared at the porcelain oil lamp, and suddenly said: "It should be a copper bowl oil lamp during the Warring States Period." Porcelain oil lamps became popular in the Song Dynasty because they were fuel-efficient.
After being reminded by Kou Xuanling, Chen Yang discovered that the oil lamps on the corridor were all porcelain oil lamps.They continued to walk forward, and when they heard the sound of gurgling water, they walked out of the promenade and their eyes suddenly opened up.There is a bottomless pool in front of it, and there is a river in front of the left side of the pool, flowing to the group of tombs.
Chen Yang and the others raised their feet and were about to walk along the river towards the group of tombs when they suddenly heard movement from the pool behind them. 'Plop', 'Plop', like the sound of bubbles popping out of the water and then bursting suddenly.Looking back, I saw wet corpses dressed in white floating in the pool at unknown times, and wet corpses emerged from the pool one after another.
These wet corpses were all dressed in white, including men and women, old and young.I don't know whether it was the attendant who was buried with him or the craftsman who was killed in the construction of the mausoleum. He was buried in the pool for a long time and became a wet corpse that did not rot.
These wet corpses were soaked in water until they were swollen and transparent, and their black hair was floating in the water.When Chen Yang moved his foot, the group of wet corpses in front of him suddenly turned their heads to face him.The fuzzy face couldn't see the facial features, but it seemed as if he could see the three of them.This scene is undoubtedly terrifying and treacherous. There are dense wet corpses floating in the pool, and these wet corpses are all staring at you.
Next, Chen Yang and the others found that the wet corpses floating on the top had been pulled off, and it was the other wet corpses at the bottom of the pool that pulled them off.The other batch of wet corpses were not wearing white clothes, but dark clothes similar to those of the Warring States Period, so dirty that the original color could no longer be seen.They took off the wet corpse above and lay down on the surface of the water, staring straight at Chen Yang and the three of them.
Suddenly, the group of wet corpses let out a shrill howl and crawled towards the shore.Originally, the speed was quite fast, but scrambling to step on each other slowed down the speed instead.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of Chen Yang quickly ran along the river.When I looked back, I could still see the group of wet corpses crawling ashore with twisted hands and feet, crawling like wild beasts.
The three stopped panting until they were far away from the water pool and could not hear the wailing of the group of wet corpses.Kou Xuanling panted and said, "Why do I feel like there are people from two ages? The bronze coffins, characters, and deep clothes from the Warring States Period, and the porcelain oil lamps, white clothes, and Buddhist scriptures from the Song Dynasty. Tiewei Mountain, Eight Great Hells , combined with the hints from the ancestors, is it possible that the tombs are from two dynasties?"
Chen Yang: "It's very possible. The original ancient tombs of the Warring States Period were a 36-pass evil bureau. There are at least 36 ancient tombs in Tiewei Mountain. The entire Tiewei Mountain is a group of ancient tombs. Pingcheng is a prosperous capital city, and many dynasties All the nobles will choose Pingcheng as the burial site. Therefore, it is very likely that when the cemetery was built, the ancient tomb of the Warring States Period at level 36 was excavated, and the result may be unfortunate. Maybe everyone who witnessed this ancient tomb at that time was not spared and all died In the ancient tombs, those things that were originally buried with the new tombs were also collected in the ancient tombs of the Warring States period."
Kou Xuanling: "So at that time, there was something in the ancient tomb."
Chen Yang's expression was solemn, and they might have guessed in their hearts.Who would bury the bronze coffin within the scope of the Kou family's ancestral tomb, reset the 36-level evil situation, and create Iron Wai Mountain and the Eight Great Hells?Nothing but what was in the ancient tomb.
When they came to the end, they found a stone niche, which was sealed, and they didn't know what was enshrined in it.Behind the stone niche is a staircase, and walking down from the staircase is the auxiliary tomb.The attached burial chambers usually contain funerary objects, but it may be that the ancient tomb they entered happened to be unusual, so the attached burial chambers were not burial objects, but human sacrifices.
Many grooves were cut out of the walls of each tomb, and in the grooves were deformed corpses.The outside of the groove was sealed with a bronze block, and the people inside could only be seen through a finger-wide gap.These grooves are obviously much smaller than an adult, but the human victims are all adult slaves.
So it is extremely painful for these adult slaves to be stuffed into the groove, and the bones of their whole body may break during the stuffing process.When the groove was sealed, they could not move, starved to death, and died of great pain.
Even the souls of these people who died were imprisoned here, with great resentment, they were very difficult hungry ghosts.Due to customs and concepts, these human sacrifices were slaves during their lifetime, and they were also slaves after death, obeying the words of the owner of the tomb.
"They were used to worship the stone niche above, and many people died in this ancient tomb." The more noble the owner of the ancient tomb, the more burial objects, and thousands of people were buried.Especially in the earliest period, slaves were like livestock.Chen Yang said: "Since there are sacrifices, there will be sacrifices. I am afraid there are more sacrifices in the cemetery. I think we may have arrived at the main tomb of the ancient tomb group."
Of the 36 ancient tombs, only one is the main tomb, the tomb of a nine-year-old girl.
At this moment, there were intermittent, extremely subtle 'clicking' sounds in the tomb.Kou Xuanling: "Did you hear the sound?"
Chen Yang looked at the groove, the bones inside were still, and suddenly his arm moved, and then there were continuous 'clicking' sounds, one after another. "Alive, run."
The human animal in the groove pushed away the bronze block and crawled on the ground.Some crawled on the walls and the roof of the tomb at an unusually fast speed.As soon as Chen Yang retreated to the door of the tomb, a human animal jumped in front of him and opened its jagged mouth, making a strange whistling sound.Chen Yang whipped it away with a red rope, pasted a Five Thunder Talisman to detonate it, and left the tomb smoothly.
After running out of the tomb, they found that all the animals in the other attached tombs came out to chase them. They should have sensed the yang energy before launching the attack suddenly.After Chen Yang strangled a human animal with a red rope, he wrapped the red rope around his palm and shouted, "Go back to the stone niche and go to the main tomb."
There is the real owner of this ancient tomb in the main tomb, and this group of people dare not offend the main tomb.Lu Xiuzhi escorted Kou Xuanling back to the stone niche. Kou Xuanling waited for Chen Yang to come up and slapped the detonated talismans on the front human sacrifices, detonating them to buy himself some time.
They ran forward, passing the east and west ear chambers where the funerary objects were placed, and reached the gate of the tomb.The main tomb and the auxiliary tomb are separated by a tomb door, which means that the upper and lower are different.The tomb door is closed and cannot be opened for the time being.The people behind crawled to the east and west ear chambers with their hands and feet, stopped to watch them, bared their teeth and let out threatening roars from time to time.
They dare not go any further. Slaves are not allowed to enter the main tomb, even near the door of the tomb.Kou Xuanling turned his back to the tomb door and asked Chen Yang: "Can the tomb door be opened?"
Chen Yang: "There is no hole, not a key. It should be a mechanism, look for it."
They were looking for the mechanism, but there was no response from the main tomb for a long time.The group of animals outside seemed to have had enough of waiting and watching, and suddenly bared their teeth and let out a loud roar. Two or three of them couldn't bear it and ran across the two ear chambers.
Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling killed the human animal that jumped up to bite them, and Lu Xiuzhi said later: "I found the mechanism to open the door. Be careful."
With a loud bang, Lu Xiuzhi opened the door of the tomb.But a section of the road ahead suddenly collapsed, Chen Yang grabbed Kou Xuanling in time and pulled him back, the road continued to collapse.The three rushed into the main tomb before the road collapsed, and the door of the tomb fell. Before falling, they saw a huge stone falling from the top of the tomb. If they failed to enter the tomb in time, they would be crushed to pieces.
The author has something to say:
The patriarch of Lao Kou in the article is a fictitious character. I dare not YY the real patriarch in history, and I don’t feel very respectful.
Found an important word: [wet body temptation] was actually blocked.
PS: I saw some comments saying that this chapter is like "Ghost Blowing Lantern · Yunnan Insect Valley" and "Tomb Raiders Notes", so let me explain.
Let me talk about "Tomb Raider" first. I bought this book, but I haven't read it.The reason may make some "Tomb Raiders" fans unhappy, because I can't read this book.My classmate told me it was scary, so I bought it, but I just couldn't watch it.It has been four or five years since I bought it, so if it is like "Tomb Raider", I am very wronged.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also bought. I bought it seven or eight years ago, but there are only the first three stories. PS: I have a strange habit. Once I read the paper first, I cannot accept the electronic version.At that time, the only way to buy books was in bookstores, and if they couldn’t find them in bookstores, I didn’t read them again.
Then I saw something like "Yunnan Insect Valley", and I re-watched it in the afternoon, because I actually forgot about the plot, and I was too young when I read this book, so I didn't understand many parts.
Then let's stroke it,
1. For the bamboo raft section, "Yunnan Insect Valley" is also available.But here I am a black snake, and there are human figurines, and there are insect eggs and Gu in the human figurines (this is more scary, after reading it, I wonder why I can’t think of such an interesting stalk.)
In this section, my arrangement is because of the black snake scene in the previous chapters and ahem, let Lu Xiuzhi show something.
In addition, the bamboo raft is arranged to go under the undercurrent, because I read an ancient high school article, the climbing cave becomes narrower and narrower, and the narrow and narrow place feels suffocating and makes me feel a sense of fear.
PS: After I finished the comparison, except that the bamboo raft enters from the river, the plot is different afterwards.
2. ... I thought that the section of the bamboo raft was not the same, but then I found that the figurines in "Yunnan Insect Valley" split open, and the eggs inside became water hornets and entangled under the bamboo raft.This is really just a coincidence, and I really have no impression of this plot.
The reason why the black snake was entangled under the bamboo raft was that the picture in my mind was scary and interesting.
3. Human sacrifice, I haven't seen any human sacrifice yet.Human sacrifice is because there were tombs in ancient times, which is a scary point.Originally it was intended to be an evil ghost, but after careful investigation, it was found that the name of this evil ghost did not come from folk or Taoism, but was not used in a book.
I checked and bookmarked the page, and I wanted to share it with you.But the update at noon was too hasty, so I forgot.
In general, these points are mentioned at present. Regarding whether this has hit, I re-read the previous paragraphs of the chapter "Yunnan Insect Valley". Insect Valley".Because I found water hornets, human figurines and a green python, I have no impression at all.
But after checking, "Yunnan Insect Valley" is the third chapter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the book I bought has the first three chapters.
Let me take a look again. I suspected that I was unknowingly influenced by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but I know the origin of each stalk, and I really have no impression of the collision after watching it.
PS: I am more sensitive and concerned about collisions and the like, so don't dislike me for being long-winded.
The inside of the cave is narrow and tight, and you can't see your fingers.Kou Xuanling took out three headband flashlights and handed them to Chen Yang and Lu Xiuzhi, who put them on and turned on the flashlights.
The walls of the cave are wet, and the wall above the head is still seeping water.The water surface under the bamboo raft was pitch black and bottomless.There was a fork in the road ahead, Kou Xuanling asked Chen Yang: "Which way to go?"
Chen Yang took out the map to check: "On the right."
Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi rowed the bamboo raft to the right and entered from inside.It was quiet in the cave, and the water surface was also very calm. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of water. Chen Yang looked down, and the water surface had returned to calm.Kou Xuanling said, "Is there something under the water?"
Chen Yang stared at the water surface vigilantly: "Obviously. Give me a fire talisman." Kou Xuanling handed him a fire talisman, and Chen Yang took it and ignited it and threw it three meters away from the bamboo raft. The fire talisman was on the water surface Start a big fireball.Lighting up the entire cave and water surface, they could clearly see countless black crazy surges in the water surface away from the fireball.
"There are black snakes in the water, they are afraid of light." Chen Yang withdrew his gaze, and as the bamboo raft moved forward, he saw a corpse by the crack of the cave where only one person could stand, and the black snake was wrapped around the corpse.As soon as the light shone, the black snakes wriggled away from the white bones. "Let's go quickly, these black snakes eat human flesh."
Kou Xuanling: "Okay." The three speeded up the boat, but found that the bamboo raft was getting heavier and heavier, until it was almost impossible to row. "What's going on?" Kou Xuanling lowered his head, looked down from the gap in the bamboo raft, and a dark shadow flashed under the water. "The back of the bamboo raft is full of black snakes."
Those black snakes entangled the bamboo raft under the water, densely packed, almost all rushed over.The bamboo raft became too heavy and began to sink, and it would not be long before it would directly capsize.Although the black snakes are afraid of lights, they are hidden behind the bamboo raft, so the lights can't reach them.
Chen Yang: "It seems that these black snakes are entangled on the back of the bamboo raft, making the bamboo raft overturned and entangled on people to eat them up. I brought wormwood, which can be used to ignite the wormwood and the fire talisman. Using the two together should be able to Drive away the black snake, let's hurry up during this time."
Lu Xiuzhi also took out the wormwood from the cloth bag: "I also brought some wormwood, Ah Xuan, how about you?"
Kou Xuanling: "I brought realgar wine."
"Enough." Chen Yang said calmly. "Old Kou, wait for the black snake to leave the bamboo raft, let's paddle quickly, and then use the fire talisman to ignite the realgar wine. Throw it to the place where the black snake gathers on the water surface."
Kou Xuanling nodded: "Okay."
Lighting wormwood can make snakes soft and dizzy, which is better than realgar powder and realgar wine.Realgar has a pungent smell. Snakes hate this smell but will not be harmed. This group of black snakes grew up eating meat, so they are probably much more vicious than ordinary snakes.Realgar alone may not be able to drive them away.
Chen Yang lit the wormwood, and everyone held the wormwood to infuse the water, and soon the cave was filled with the smell of wormwood.The black snake under the bamboo raft began to squirm uncomfortably, its tail flapping against the bottom of the water non-stop.Water splashed all around the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft almost fell over due to instability.Chen Yang and Lu Xiuzhi stabilized the bamboo raft, and the black snake under the bamboo raft gradually left.
Kou Xuanling slowly rowed the bamboo raft away, and looked back to see densely packed black snakes on the water.The group of black snakes were all fainted by the wormwood.Chen Yang: "Old Kou!" Kou Xuanling reacted quickly, picked up two jars of realgar wine, threw the fire talisman into the wine jar, and quickly threw the wine jar to the place where the black snake floated.
The wine jar exploded on the water surface, spreading a layer of fire on the water surface, most of the black snakes floating on the water surface were ignited, and the stench of burning was wafting from the air.Kou Xuanling held his nose: "Sure enough, it's an evil creature that eats flesh and blood. It smells so bad from being burnt."
Chen Yang looked away and asked, "Do you have any explosives?"
"No." Kou Xuanling rowed the bamboo raft and said, "The temporary decision is quite hasty. If you want to buy explosives, you have to go through a special channel." While rowing the bamboo raft, he leaned in front of Chen Yang to look at the map he had spread out on his lap: " Are you thinking about how to open the tomb door?"
"Correct."
"I wanted to use explosives, but I was worried that the explosives would blow up the cave and landslide. Forget it, let's talk about it when we get to the place." After folding the map and putting it away, Chen Yang said, "Keep moving forward. From here, when you turn a corner, your vision will It's getting more open. The map looks like it was drawn decades ago, so the difference shouldn't be too big."
When turning ahead, the field of vision really becomes wider, like a big lake.The roof of the cave is about four meters high from the water, and you can see the ground when you stand up.The three looked at the ground, ignoring the back.At this time, a thick shadow like a bucket appeared on the bottom of the water behind, moving silently towards the bamboo raft.
Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he noticed that the bronze coin in the center of the red line between his wrists was shaking violently.At the same time, the compass pointer in Kou Xuanling's hand also began to shake chaotically, and then it went straight to the rear.
The three looked calm, and the next moment the water shook violently and splashed everywhere.The bamboo raft was lifted up by a huge black snake. The black snake was as thick as a bucket and had an unknown length.He was trying to overturn the bamboo raft and shake the three people on it into the water.The three of Chen Yang shot at the same time, Kou Xuanling threw the mahogany sword to Lu Xiuzhi, Lu Xiuzhi took the mahogany sword and stabbed it into the gap of the bamboo raft quickly and mercilessly.It stabbed hard into the black snake's body, and the black snake swayed more violently in pain, and the water boiled like boiling soup.Chen Yang pulled down the red rope and threw the corroded stone pillar above his head. The other end was tied to the bamboo raft to stabilize the bamboo raft.
The water splashed and drenched everyone, and the black snake's huge strength brought everyone and the bamboo raft to roll underwater.The bamboo raft was fixed by the red rope again, and it soon lost its support and made a "cracking" sound.Chen Yang: "The bamboo raft is about to split."
Lu Xiuzhi bowed his head and pulled out his mahogany sword.The black blood instantly stained the entire water surface, but the water was also black, and there was no visible change at all, only the strong smell of blood.The giant snake sank into the bottom of the water to peek at the small bamboo raft on the lake, but the strong smell of blood concealed its whereabouts.The bronze coin vibrated violently in the air until it almost formed a phantom, and the compass pointer was in a mess, making it impossible to figure out the exact location of the giant snake.
Lu Xiuzhi lowered his eyes and looked calmly at the seemingly calm water. When he pulled out the mahogany sword, a few drops of blood splashed on his face.He said, "I'll go down and kill it."
"No." Kou Xuanling immediately objected, holding Lu Xiuzhi's hand: "It's too dangerous."
Chen Yang said: "If that black snake attacks again, the bamboo raft won't be able to hold on."
Lu Xiuzhi looked at the hand that was holding him, broke free and held Kou Xuanling's hand backhand, squeezed it and said with a smile: "Don't worry." After speaking, he jumped into the water and sank to the bottom.Kou Xuanling looked at the water anxiously, Chen Yang took back the red rope and said, "Don't worry, Brother Du said that Lu Xiuzhi is hiding something. I think Lu Xiuzhi himself is confident that he can kill that black snake."
Kou Xuanling frowned: "I'm worried that he will be injured."
Chen Yang stared at the water: "Let's go ashore first." It's just a black snake that hasn't developed its wits, and Lu Xiuzhi can handle it.Besides, he felt that with Lu Xiuzhi's cultivation, he didn't need such a complicated method as launching into the water to deal with the black snake.The opponent's goal was probably Kou Xuanling, and the old Kou was easily fooled.
After the two went ashore, Chen Yang took a leisurely look at the environment, while Kou Xuanling stood on the shore and watched the calm water.Not long after, the calm of the water surface was broken, and Lu Xiuzhi got out of the water, his black hair was disheveled, his clothes were soaked, and the body of the black snake floated up behind him.
Lu Xiuzhi, who was slowly walking towards him, was extraordinarily sexy, and Kou Xuanling coughed twice and looked away from the lively look on his face.His cheeks were a little hot, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Xiuzhi.He thinks his brother is a bit delicious... No, that's not what he meant, he just thinks the color is good.Kou Xuanling excused himself in his heart and tried his best to look at the beauty of his good brother with an open and pure heart.
"Ah Xuan?" Lu Xiuzhi waved his hand in front of Kou Xuanling, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing." Kou Xuanling was taken aback, and quickly answered him.Seeing his wet clothes and hair, he took off his short-sleeved jacket and put it on Lu Xiuzhi: "Put it on, don't catch a cold."
Lu Xiuzhi took the short-sleeved jacket and looked at Kou Xuanling fixedly: "Thank you, Axuan." His voice was deliberately lowered, as if he was wearing a hook, to seduce people's hearts.
Kou Xuanling was so teased that her face was blushing and her heart was pounding, and then she blamed herself so much that she was about to bury herself in the soil.He felt guilty, how could he think of a good brother like this?
Oh, good brother.Chen Yang looked away with a sneer. Just now, he quickly took a picture of the scene where Lu Xiuzhi came out of the water to deliberately seduce Kou Xuanling, and then sent the photo to Du Shuo: [Wet body temptation, old Kou will not be safe at night. ]
After a while, Du Shuo sent a sentence: [Not serious, delete. ] Below is a picture of the emperor showing off his abdominal muscles to show off his beauty.Immediately after the picture, several sentences were posted almost non-stop: [Look at mine, don't look at him. ], [No integrity, ugly. ], [Stay away from them. ]
Chen Yang twitched the corners of his mouth, saved the photos of Lao Du showing off his beauty, and then sent a message back: [You single young people have no morals, black belly and shameless. ]
The emperor frowned, staring at the phone screen with an extremely serious expression, and even stopped processing official documents.Chen Xiaoyang became more and more courageous, he just scolded others, but he even scolded his own man.It's getting worse and worse.
The Great Emperor was thoughtful, swiping the screen of his mobile phone, and saw the picture of Lu Xiuzhi's wet body sent by Chen Yang.I just felt hot eyes, so I quickly deleted it.Send a few words of warning: [In the future, if you encounter such a thing, remember to turn around and look away.It hurts the eyes a lot, so I want to see it. ]
After sending it, I saw Chen Xiaoyang's indifferent reply: [Oh. ]
The emperor was so angry that Chen Xiaoyang was getting more and more outrageous.
The 72 divisions below secretly looked at the emperor, but seeing that the emperor's expression became more serious, they thought he was reviewing official documents and encountered some serious case.He had looked like this before, and he was furious at that time.Therefore, the 72 subordinates were all frightened, fearing that the emperor would suddenly get angry.Fortunately, the next moment they saw the emperor's amiable face, and his breath became relaxed and cheerful.
Secretary 72 secretly winked, knowing in his heart that it must be the call from his sister-in-law.It's strange to say that the emperor's partner should be honored as the Empress of the Underworld, but I don't know when it spread throughout Fengdu's underworld that the affectionate title of 'Sister-in-Law'.
Chen Yang found the door of the tomb according to the map. The door of the tomb was a stone embedded in the wall of the cave.The diary describes in detail the appearance of the tomb door, with a hole in the middle that can be opened with a key.Kou Xuanling touched the moss-covered tomb door and asked, "Are you sure this is the tomb door?"
"Look for holes."
Kou Xuanling wiped off the moss, and indeed saw a T-shaped hole in the center of the tomb door: "There is a hole here."
Chen Yang looked at the hole, and after confirming that it was a key hole, he said, "This is the door of the tomb."
Kou Xuanling: "How to get in? Is there anything written in the diary?"
"Explosives. It says to use explosives, but I am worried that it will cause the cave to collapse. You can see that the soil is wet and the surface is soft." Suddenly a drop of water dripped from the cave in front of Chen Yang, and he looked up at the door of the tomb. After a while, he took the map and diary to Kou Xuanling for safekeeping: "I'll go up and have a look."
After saying that, he climbed the wall of the cave to the top of the door of the tomb, and saw a pit above the door of the tomb. Under the pit, there was a hole about ten centimeters in diameter, which was conical in shape.Lying on it, you can see the scene behind the door of the tomb. Maybe this pit was dug out by tomb robbers before.Chen Yang shouted to the two people below: "There is a hole in the top, you can go in by digging it."
Kou Xuanling went up to look and agreed with Chen Yang's proposal: "Use the detonating talisman." He took out the folded talisman from his pocket: "It's less powerful, but it's a bit more powerful than a firecracker, and it won't kill anyone." He posted a sticker near the entrance of the cave. He picked up nine magic symbols, and then jumped to the ground with Chen Yang to detonate the magic symbols.
The sound was not too loud, but it still echoed in the cave.Looking up again, the original small hole has now been enlarged enough for a person to get into.So the three entered the tomb one after another.Behind the door of the tomb is a five-meter-long corridor, and outside the corridor is a long horizontal corridor.The stone bricks on the promenade were intact and undamaged, and the oil lamps on both sides were not lit.
Chen Yang wiped some oil from the oil lamp with his index finger, his face was a bit solemn: "There is still oil on it, and the wick also has traces of ignition."
If this is an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period, the oil in the oil lamp would have dried up long ago.The wick should not show signs of being used unless there is still something living in the tomb.Kou Xuanling stared at the porcelain oil lamp, and suddenly said: "It should be a copper bowl oil lamp during the Warring States Period." Porcelain oil lamps became popular in the Song Dynasty because they were fuel-efficient.
After being reminded by Kou Xuanling, Chen Yang discovered that the oil lamps on the corridor were all porcelain oil lamps.They continued to walk forward, and when they heard the sound of gurgling water, they walked out of the promenade and their eyes suddenly opened up.There is a bottomless pool in front of it, and there is a river in front of the left side of the pool, flowing to the group of tombs.
Chen Yang and the others raised their feet and were about to walk along the river towards the group of tombs when they suddenly heard movement from the pool behind them. 'Plop', 'Plop', like the sound of bubbles popping out of the water and then bursting suddenly.Looking back, I saw wet corpses dressed in white floating in the pool at unknown times, and wet corpses emerged from the pool one after another.
These wet corpses were all dressed in white, including men and women, old and young.I don't know whether it was the attendant who was buried with him or the craftsman who was killed in the construction of the mausoleum. He was buried in the pool for a long time and became a wet corpse that did not rot.
These wet corpses were soaked in water until they were swollen and transparent, and their black hair was floating in the water.When Chen Yang moved his foot, the group of wet corpses in front of him suddenly turned their heads to face him.The fuzzy face couldn't see the facial features, but it seemed as if he could see the three of them.This scene is undoubtedly terrifying and treacherous. There are dense wet corpses floating in the pool, and these wet corpses are all staring at you.
Next, Chen Yang and the others found that the wet corpses floating on the top had been pulled off, and it was the other wet corpses at the bottom of the pool that pulled them off.The other batch of wet corpses were not wearing white clothes, but dark clothes similar to those of the Warring States Period, so dirty that the original color could no longer be seen.They took off the wet corpse above and lay down on the surface of the water, staring straight at Chen Yang and the three of them.
Suddenly, the group of wet corpses let out a shrill howl and crawled towards the shore.Originally, the speed was quite fast, but scrambling to step on each other slowed down the speed instead.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of Chen Yang quickly ran along the river.When I looked back, I could still see the group of wet corpses crawling ashore with twisted hands and feet, crawling like wild beasts.
The three stopped panting until they were far away from the water pool and could not hear the wailing of the group of wet corpses.Kou Xuanling panted and said, "Why do I feel like there are people from two ages? The bronze coffins, characters, and deep clothes from the Warring States Period, and the porcelain oil lamps, white clothes, and Buddhist scriptures from the Song Dynasty. Tiewei Mountain, Eight Great Hells , combined with the hints from the ancestors, is it possible that the tombs are from two dynasties?"
Chen Yang: "It's very possible. The original ancient tombs of the Warring States Period were a 36-pass evil bureau. There are at least 36 ancient tombs in Tiewei Mountain. The entire Tiewei Mountain is a group of ancient tombs. Pingcheng is a prosperous capital city, and many dynasties All the nobles will choose Pingcheng as the burial site. Therefore, it is very likely that when the cemetery was built, the ancient tomb of the Warring States Period at level 36 was excavated, and the result may be unfortunate. Maybe everyone who witnessed this ancient tomb at that time was not spared and all died In the ancient tombs, those things that were originally buried with the new tombs were also collected in the ancient tombs of the Warring States period."
Kou Xuanling: "So at that time, there was something in the ancient tomb."
Chen Yang's expression was solemn, and they might have guessed in their hearts.Who would bury the bronze coffin within the scope of the Kou family's ancestral tomb, reset the 36-level evil situation, and create Iron Wai Mountain and the Eight Great Hells?Nothing but what was in the ancient tomb.
When they came to the end, they found a stone niche, which was sealed, and they didn't know what was enshrined in it.Behind the stone niche is a staircase, and walking down from the staircase is the auxiliary tomb.The attached burial chambers usually contain funerary objects, but it may be that the ancient tomb they entered happened to be unusual, so the attached burial chambers were not burial objects, but human sacrifices.
Many grooves were cut out of the walls of each tomb, and in the grooves were deformed corpses.The outside of the groove was sealed with a bronze block, and the people inside could only be seen through a finger-wide gap.These grooves are obviously much smaller than an adult, but the human victims are all adult slaves.
So it is extremely painful for these adult slaves to be stuffed into the groove, and the bones of their whole body may break during the stuffing process.When the groove was sealed, they could not move, starved to death, and died of great pain.
Even the souls of these people who died were imprisoned here, with great resentment, they were very difficult hungry ghosts.Due to customs and concepts, these human sacrifices were slaves during their lifetime, and they were also slaves after death, obeying the words of the owner of the tomb.
"They were used to worship the stone niche above, and many people died in this ancient tomb." The more noble the owner of the ancient tomb, the more burial objects, and thousands of people were buried.Especially in the earliest period, slaves were like livestock.Chen Yang said: "Since there are sacrifices, there will be sacrifices. I am afraid there are more sacrifices in the cemetery. I think we may have arrived at the main tomb of the ancient tomb group."
Of the 36 ancient tombs, only one is the main tomb, the tomb of a nine-year-old girl.
At this moment, there were intermittent, extremely subtle 'clicking' sounds in the tomb.Kou Xuanling: "Did you hear the sound?"
Chen Yang looked at the groove, the bones inside were still, and suddenly his arm moved, and then there were continuous 'clicking' sounds, one after another. "Alive, run."
The human animal in the groove pushed away the bronze block and crawled on the ground.Some crawled on the walls and the roof of the tomb at an unusually fast speed.As soon as Chen Yang retreated to the door of the tomb, a human animal jumped in front of him and opened its jagged mouth, making a strange whistling sound.Chen Yang whipped it away with a red rope, pasted a Five Thunder Talisman to detonate it, and left the tomb smoothly.
After running out of the tomb, they found that all the animals in the other attached tombs came out to chase them. They should have sensed the yang energy before launching the attack suddenly.After Chen Yang strangled a human animal with a red rope, he wrapped the red rope around his palm and shouted, "Go back to the stone niche and go to the main tomb."
There is the real owner of this ancient tomb in the main tomb, and this group of people dare not offend the main tomb.Lu Xiuzhi escorted Kou Xuanling back to the stone niche. Kou Xuanling waited for Chen Yang to come up and slapped the detonated talismans on the front human sacrifices, detonating them to buy himself some time.
They ran forward, passing the east and west ear chambers where the funerary objects were placed, and reached the gate of the tomb.The main tomb and the auxiliary tomb are separated by a tomb door, which means that the upper and lower are different.The tomb door is closed and cannot be opened for the time being.The people behind crawled to the east and west ear chambers with their hands and feet, stopped to watch them, bared their teeth and let out threatening roars from time to time.
They dare not go any further. Slaves are not allowed to enter the main tomb, even near the door of the tomb.Kou Xuanling turned his back to the tomb door and asked Chen Yang: "Can the tomb door be opened?"
Chen Yang: "There is no hole, not a key. It should be a mechanism, look for it."
They were looking for the mechanism, but there was no response from the main tomb for a long time.The group of animals outside seemed to have had enough of waiting and watching, and suddenly bared their teeth and let out a loud roar. Two or three of them couldn't bear it and ran across the two ear chambers.
Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling killed the human animal that jumped up to bite them, and Lu Xiuzhi said later: "I found the mechanism to open the door. Be careful."
With a loud bang, Lu Xiuzhi opened the door of the tomb.But a section of the road ahead suddenly collapsed, Chen Yang grabbed Kou Xuanling in time and pulled him back, the road continued to collapse.The three rushed into the main tomb before the road collapsed, and the door of the tomb fell. Before falling, they saw a huge stone falling from the top of the tomb. If they failed to enter the tomb in time, they would be crushed to pieces.
The author has something to say:
The patriarch of Lao Kou in the article is a fictitious character. I dare not YY the real patriarch in history, and I don’t feel very respectful.
Found an important word: [wet body temptation] was actually blocked.
PS: I saw some comments saying that this chapter is like "Ghost Blowing Lantern · Yunnan Insect Valley" and "Tomb Raiders Notes", so let me explain.
Let me talk about "Tomb Raider" first. I bought this book, but I haven't read it.The reason may make some "Tomb Raiders" fans unhappy, because I can't read this book.My classmate told me it was scary, so I bought it, but I just couldn't watch it.It has been four or five years since I bought it, so if it is like "Tomb Raider", I am very wronged.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also bought. I bought it seven or eight years ago, but there are only the first three stories. PS: I have a strange habit. Once I read the paper first, I cannot accept the electronic version.At that time, the only way to buy books was in bookstores, and if they couldn’t find them in bookstores, I didn’t read them again.
Then I saw something like "Yunnan Insect Valley", and I re-watched it in the afternoon, because I actually forgot about the plot, and I was too young when I read this book, so I didn't understand many parts.
Then let's stroke it,
1. For the bamboo raft section, "Yunnan Insect Valley" is also available.But here I am a black snake, and there are human figurines, and there are insect eggs and Gu in the human figurines (this is more scary, after reading it, I wonder why I can’t think of such an interesting stalk.)
In this section, my arrangement is because of the black snake scene in the previous chapters and ahem, let Lu Xiuzhi show something.
In addition, the bamboo raft is arranged to go under the undercurrent, because I read an ancient high school article, the climbing cave becomes narrower and narrower, and the narrow and narrow place feels suffocating and makes me feel a sense of fear.
PS: After I finished the comparison, except that the bamboo raft enters from the river, the plot is different afterwards.
2. ... I thought that the section of the bamboo raft was not the same, but then I found that the figurines in "Yunnan Insect Valley" split open, and the eggs inside became water hornets and entangled under the bamboo raft.This is really just a coincidence, and I really have no impression of this plot.
The reason why the black snake was entangled under the bamboo raft was that the picture in my mind was scary and interesting.
3. Human sacrifice, I haven't seen any human sacrifice yet.Human sacrifice is because there were tombs in ancient times, which is a scary point.Originally it was intended to be an evil ghost, but after careful investigation, it was found that the name of this evil ghost did not come from folk or Taoism, but was not used in a book.
I checked and bookmarked the page, and I wanted to share it with you.But the update at noon was too hasty, so I forgot.
In general, these points are mentioned at present. Regarding whether this has hit, I re-read the previous paragraphs of the chapter "Yunnan Insect Valley". Insect Valley".Because I found water hornets, human figurines and a green python, I have no impression at all.
But after checking, "Yunnan Insect Valley" is the third chapter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the book I bought has the first three chapters.
Let me take a look again. I suspected that I was unknowingly influenced by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but I know the origin of each stalk, and I really have no impression of the collision after watching it.
PS: I am more sensitive and concerned about collisions and the like, so don't dislike me for being long-winded.
