It should be noon, but the sky is gloomy and gray, giving people an ominous premonition.

We saw that the soil in the distance was indeed as Xiao Zhao said, showing a disgusting reddish-brown color, like the dirty color of red paint and black paint mixed together, but not mixed thoroughly.We hadn't walked over yet, and we felt a gust of wind blowing towards our faces.

At the same time, I also saw those small mounds, counting about dozens of them, arranged together, which is reminiscent of the landform after the eruption of underground lava. If you look down from the air, it may make people with dense phobia Very uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhao said, let us concentrate on our journey and not pay attention to any movement around us.

In fact, it's fine if he doesn't say anything, but once he said it, Shen Er behind me trembled like he had epilepsy.He also patted me on the neck and said: "The little ghost reminded us on purpose, I'm easy to be psychologically suggested. Oh my god, this place is too eerie. If I had known, I might as well have stayed at home and listened to the old ladies! "

So you came out with us to escape from your sisters?

This place was originally Shinto, but now it is completely impossible to see that there was a large mausoleum here.

Xiao Zhao said that this is because after the reform and opening up, a group of black businessmen wanted to come here to develop the land. They demolished all the buildings on the ground and dug up many dead tombs. Some people were so frightened that they went crazy and had to give up.

Pointing to the mounds, he said that only these were left untouched, the other part had been filled in.

I became curious again, and asked, "Then what about the large mausoleum before? Since it is a huge mausoleum, the mausoleum on the ground has been demolished, so there should still be a huge tomb underground, right?"

Xiao Zhao said: "Some tomb robbers came here to rob the tomb after that, but there seems to be no results. It is said that the ancient tomb was buried very deep, it was too old, and the underground soil has changed a lot over thousands of years. Large digging tools can't dig down."

"That is to say, is that an ancient tomb thousands of years ago?"

"The legend is like this, but who knows if it is true?"

Although I probably have had a lot of contact with people who are fighting against each other recently, and I heard that there are ancient tombs, I can't bear it anymore.But the atmosphere here is so creepy that people don't want to stay for a moment.

Originally, if we followed Xiao Zhao and hurried on, we would be able to walk out of this wet dark red soil in a few minutes.But for some unknown reason, the incense burner suddenly jumped off the donkey and walked towards the mound.

We were all taken aback, "Censer! What are you doing?!"

The incense burner walked into the mound without saying a word.

Whenever this happens, I really hate his silence, always doing some unimaginable things, so that we other people can only do things in a hurry.

I saw him walking straight into the depths of the tomb without looking back, and I was suddenly worried that something would happen to him, so I didn't dare to think too much, and jumped off the donkey to catch up.

I ran over in three steps at a time, and grabbed him: "What are you doing, Xiao Zhao said you can't stay here for long!"

The incense burner didn't look back, I couldn't see his expression, but I could vaguely feel that his body was trembling slightly.

"Let me stay for a while, just for a while."

His voice was soft and cold, but there was a deep pleading in it.

I let go, and he stood there for a while, did nothing, just stood there blankly for a long time.

Suddenly, Shen Er screamed: "There, there are people!"

He pointed at my back, I was startled, I looked back, but there was nothing.

A chill ran up my spine, and I pulled the incense burner with a stiff neck: "Hey, let's go quickly?"

Shen Er yelled again: "Ah, Xiao Wang, I'm going towards you!"

I shivered all over, turned around again, and still saw nothing.The more this happened, the more creepy I felt in my heart. If I saw something behind me at this time, I would not be so scared.

I don't know if Shen Er misread it, or if there was something unclean, and my heart was furious.

The incense burner finally turned around: "Let's go."

We quickly got back on the donkey and drove the donkey faster.Shen Er was so frightened that his face turned green and then pale, and he used the donkey whip to drive the donkey skillfully. Sure enough, human potential can be stimulated under certain conditions.

We ran for about half an hour and finally stopped by the reed lake.

The donkey couldn't get through the water, and the lake was full of tall reeds. When the wind blew those reeds aroused thousands of waves, it was impossible to see what was on the other side of the lake.

There was a bamboo raft on the bank, and Xiao Zhao said that he would take it to the other side of the lake.

Although we felt that he might deceive us, we had no choice but to follow him.

The bamboo rafts are rough and the carrying capacity is not very large, so we had to filter and discard some of the luggage we brought.

Xiao Zhao swings the bamboo raft and circles around the reed lake. Without these reeds, we can see the situation on the other side from the shore here, but it took a full hour to cross the lake.

When we reached the opposite bank, we then found that there was a city wall of amazing scale blocking our way.

Xiao Zhao dragged the bamboo raft ashore, but sat on it leisurely, looking at the three of us exhausted from the journey, the expression on his face seemed to be a little gloating: "I only take you here, and the rest of you want to do more for yourself." Good luck."

Shen Er was exhausted enough, seeing Xiao Zhao's provocative expression, he couldn't help being furious: "Don't tell me that such a broken wall is the Shen family's old house?!"

Xiao Zhao pointed at the city wall: "Climb over this wall, and you will be able to see the Shen family's ancient house, but you have to be mentally prepared, the wall is at least thirty or forty feet long by my grandfather and I, although the wall is There are recessed footwells, but climbing up is not as easy as rock climbing, and if it is not done well, it may touch the mechanism!"

I looked up, and the city wall stood in front of us, like a towering mountain pressing down on us, making it hard to breathe.

Shen Er seemed to remember something, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "I remember! No wonder the internal structure diagram of the Shen family's ancient house in the notebook is like that!"

I asked: "What?"

Shen Er said with a bitter face: "You know what our family's ancestral business does, and this business has been passed down to the present, and there are still people in the family who are doing it, that is to say, this is the tradition of our family, and there are people from generation to generation. Inheriting this business has never been broken. I can’t find any records of when the ancient house was built, but it has been taken care of before, and it has been built many times until it was in the hands of my grandfather. I read the notes that said, Shen Jiagu When the house was first built, it was designed as a huge mechanism fortress, with various mechanisms and secret passages distributed inside. There is a trap in ten steps, and a death hole in a hundred steps. You must be careful every step of the way inside. Organ trap plotting."

I sighed: "I guessed that."

What Shen Qianjiu's descendants built was not an ancient castle of the undead, in which lived an army of gold-touching rice dumplings that were said to have disappeared in the thousand-year-old tomb. I think it is a blessing!

Shen Er looked up at the city wall: "Besides, if you climb over this wall, there is a moat directly behind the wall. When my grandfather decided to close this ancient house, he blocked all the entrances. Now the only way to get in is to go through Go to the drainage channel under the moat."

I rubbed my temples, really stressed out about what was going to happen next.

"No wonder you brought diving equipment." I sighed.

Shen Er said: "I have prepared three sets of diving equipment, but I should only need two sets now."

"……why?"

Shen Er showed me a congratulatory expression: "I don't think I can climb such a high wall even if I die, you two work hard!"

Depend on!This is called not being afraid of an enemy like a bear, but being afraid of a companion like a pig!Get cold feet at the critical moment, Shen Er, you two, dare you not let me look down on you so much!

Shen Er obviously understood my gaze, but he pretended not to see it, and sat down on the ground: "Also, I've been feeling dizzy since just now, do you think I can walk with you like this?"

As he said that, he put his hand on his forehead and pretended to be weak. I looked at him speechlessly, but Xiao Zhao said, "Brother, you must have been poisoned by the corpse's qi, right?"

"Huh?!" Both Shen Er and I looked at Xiao Zhao in confusion.

The incense burner suddenly walked to Shen Er's side in twos and threes, stretched out his hand to probe the side of his neck, and then quickly pierced a very thin silver needle into the back of Shen Er's head with gestures.

Shen Er didn't understand what happened, and was ordered not to move around by the incense burner as he struggled.

I asked the incense burner: "Is he really poisoned?"

With a serious expression on his face, the incense burner stood up and said, "Well, I'm afraid that when I passed that grave, I sealed his jade pillow acupoint to prevent him from hallucinating." There is a medicine needle inserted, don't touch it."

Shen Er just wanted to reach out and touch the back of his head, but he stopped hastily.

When I said this, I remembered that in the tomb, Shen Er said he saw someone. It seems that he had already started to hallucinate at that time?

"Then does it matter to him?" Shen Er is my old friend after all, knowing that he was poisoned, I was very worried.

The incense burner is always silent at critical moments.

Shen Er looked at me miserably, and handed me the interior map of the Shen family's ancient house: "Xiao Wang, I will leave the rest to you. Don't let me down to your expectations, or I will die with regret."

Seeing his ruddy complexion, I sighed and patted him: "I believe you can live a long time."

Although I'm afraid that Xiao Zhao has something wrong, I don't know if Shen Er will be plotted against if he stays, but I don't object to watching the incense burner. Although he is indifferent to others, he is still very responsible for his teammates who act together, so I think it should be no problem.

Later I asked the incense burner why I was not poisoned by the gas of the corpse.Xiao Zhao has passed through that area all the year round, so he may have developed an immune constitution early on. I am not surprised that the incense burner is immune to all kinds of poisons, but I have a similar physique as Shen Er. In terms of disease resistance, he is a little stronger than me.

Although the incense burner didn't answer me, I thought to myself that it might be the effect of the blood jade brought out from King Ming's tomb.
