Chapter 874 Family Burial

"Not long after entering the ancient building, when they were confused by hallucinations and confused, I sneaked away and waited for you around here. That fake Li Qing should still be in Zhao Qili's team now, and I saw them carrying the coffin and hurrying all the way up. Deng Shi said, "That Zhao Qili is very capable, he is the most sober of all, I suspect that he should have something on him." ”

Li Qing's feet paused slightly, at this time, the faint fragrance in the air was almost invisible, and in front of the two of them was a stone wall, and next to it was an open stone door.

"What do you mean he brought?"

Deng Shi pondered for a moment before speaking again: "In short, he was not disturbed by the illusion at all, otherwise the casualties of that team would definitely not be more than that." I guess he must have brought something with a strange fragrance such as herbs to protect his mind. ”

Li Qing's cheeks changed slightly: "Can a strange fragrance block the confusion of that fragrance?"

"Pretty much, after all, this trick of the ancients was subject to the living conditions at that time, and the effect was not as great as we imagined. Moreover, ancient books have always had the saying that musk, sandalwood and other things ward off evil spirits. ”

"Oh, then, Rain and Smoke should be fine, those women will carry these kinds of things with them. ”

Deng Shi rolled his eyes: "Captain, can we distinguish the key points in our speech, and where have you turned again?"

Leaning against the stone wall, Master Deng knocked on the relief with a flashlight, pointed to the entrance and said to Li Qing: "I've only been here the farthest, and I don't know what else I will encounter if I go up." ”

"Just go in and have a look. Li Qing said and turned into the stone gate on his side, and Deng Shi followed, and the two of them walked up the stone steps.

"Since you got lost, how did you get around?" asked Deng Shi casually.

Li Qing's face changed slightly: "I met Gu Zhou." ”

"Huh?" Master Deng's body stiffened suddenly, and he turned around suddenly, "That old immortal is still alive, it must be more than a hundred years old, right?"

"I didn't see him for what he really was, but by feeling, it should be him. What's more, in the process of fighting, I also pulled off his prosthetic leg. ”

Deng Shi smiled: "Did you win?"

"Lost. Li Qing said in a sullen voice, "I was knocked unconscious by him, and when I woke up, I was in a stone room on the cliff, and climbed down along the traces of the previous plank road before I arrived here." ”

"This old guy's body is about to fall apart, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. The corners of Master Deng's mouth rose slightly, "I really want to see it, that's the greatest legend in the Blood Skull Killer Hall." ”

Li Qing's face darkened: "I'm itching my teeth with hatred now, can you not put on a stinky face of admiration?"

"Well, I do have a little bit of a frown. But you also have to understand that you are the only one in our first team who was brought out by Gu Zhou, and the others have never even seen what he looks like. If I say I don't want to see him, I'm afraid you won't believe it. ”

The flashlight hit the dusty stone steps, and there was an old smell in the air, Li Qing pursed his lips and did not speak again.

Stepping on the last stone step, the two of them came to the second floor of the ancient building.

The criss-crossing corridors divide the entire space, like a labyrinth, making it seem dizzying.

Deng Shi turned his head to look at Li Qing: "Captain, how to go?"

"Follow the footsteps of others. Li Qing said lightly, walked slowly forward through the bronze tripods on both sides of the corridor.

Deng Shi jumped up, climbed the ears and propped them up in the air, turned on the flashlight and looked inside. Inside the bronze tripod was a thin and withered corpse, which looked like a young child, whose skin and flesh had already been dried, showing a strange blue-black color, which seemed to have been poisoned to death.

His pupils shrank slightly, Master Deng jumped down from the tripod, raised his hand and pointed to the row of bronze tripods in front of him: "There should be corpses inside, I have long heard that there was a system of burial of boys and girls in ancient times, and today is an eye-opener." ”

"It's not necessarily a funeral, after all, the Immortal Ancient Building was not built for King Zhou to make a mausoleum. Li Qing said lightly, "There were few large-scale burials in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and I think this is more like a ritual." ”

"Ritual?"

"Well, that's just my guess, though. ”

Deng Shi turned his head and looked around, and sighed softly: "If this is really a doubtful tomb, it is really amazing." ”

Li Qing suddenly stopped and kicked open the door of a room beside him.

It was too old, the corrosion was too serious, Li Qing didn't use too much strength, and the entire door stepped down, slamming on the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust.

"Ahem, ahem. Deng Shi leaned back, covered his mouth with his hand, and choked on a cough.

Li Qing raised his hand and fanned his nose, and then walked in. The room was empty, except for a coffin in the center.

Raising his hand to gently wipe off the dust on the surface, Li Qing took a closer look at it by the light of the flashlight, the wood was already very old, but the age was by no means thousands of years ago.

"Captain, what are you doing here?" Master Deng followed behind, staring at the coffin in front of him and was surprised, "Interesting, there is a coffin parked here, whose is this?

Li Qing said in a low voice: "Look and see if there is any engraving on it." ”

The two of them circled around the coffin twice, didn't see a word, looked at each other, and their faces were a little unnatural.

"It seems that this coffin has not been thought about for too long, and it was brought in later..."Deng Shi hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"Take a handle and open it. ”

"Huh?" Deng Shi's eyes widened, "You want to open the coffin, right? The people here are sleeping comfortably, what if they have the gas to get up?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just going to see what age this coffin is. ”

Deng Shi pursed his lips, grabbed the coffin lid and pressed it hard, and the two of them almost lifted the entire coffin, but they couldn't move the coffin lid away.

Squinting his eyes, Master Deng took a closer look again, and shook his head slightly: "This large row of iron nails has completely sealed the coffin, and we want to open it unless it is violently broken." ”

Li Qing also looked helpless: "Forget it, disturbing people and being clean is already disrespectful, and it would be too immoral to be outright." ”

Taking two steps back, Li Qing bowed in a good way to apologize, and then beckoned out of the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you keep sleeping. Master Deng waved his hand and followed Li Qing out, "What does this mean?"

Li Qing didn't answer, he raised his hand and tore open the door of the other room, and there was indeed an almost identical coffin inside.

"Holy, isn't it?

"Well, the structure of the building here is very strange, as if it has been artificially modified by later generations. Li Qing nodded lightly, "So I just saw the coffin, and I suspect that this place has been changed into a family cemetery." ”

"Which family could it be?" Deng Shi blurted out, and suddenly found that Li Qingzheng turned his head and stared at him without blinking, and immediately a strange look appeared on his cheeks, and he waved his hand lightly, "I understand, it must be the Gu family." ”

"It's just speculation, it's more likely. Li Qing said casually, his footsteps did not stop at all, "For a hidden family like the Gu family, where to bury it after death is also a big problem. If they secretly transformed this place to place the deceased clan elders, it would be logical. ”

"Then Gu Yue still dares to bring people here to disturb the purity of the ancestors?" Deng Shi couldn't help but speak, "She is really not afraid of being punished by God." ”

Li Qing said in a low voice: "This is what Gu Zhou meant, as for what this old guy is thinking in his head, I'm afraid only he knows." ”

"Did you hear any movement?" Li Qing suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Huh, what's the movement?"

"Gunshots. Li Qing stretched out a middle finger and pointed to the ground, "It's coming from below, and someone is coming again." If I'm not bad, it's the Ram group. After you went down with Zhao Qili, Ram attacked the men he left behind. ”

Master Deng's eyes rolled: "So, Ram is here to find trouble?"

"It should be, let's just let him go first. ”

The two men had made up their minds, and then slipped into a room on the left, hiding behind the coffin in the middle of the room.

After waiting for more than an hour, the sound of messy footsteps finally sounded outside. Li Qing took a deep breath, planning to wait for this group of people to pass through, and then follow Master Deng again.

At this moment, there was a messy burst of gunfire outside, and suddenly a loud roar came: "Stop!"

"It's Li Qing!" said in a foreign language, followed by a roar in Chinese.

"Catch him! Don't let him run!"

The footsteps outside were scattered, and Li Qing and Deng Shi glanced at each other, both of them could not hide the surprise in their eyes.

"What's going on?" Li Qing pursed his lips and hooked his fingers at Master Deng, and the two of them moved out from behind the coffin and slowly moved towards the door.

It had fallen silent again, and it was clear that the group had run away.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Li Qing looked at Master Deng beside him: "I heard me right, right?

"It seems to be. ”

Deng Shi nodded, the two looked at each other again, and immediately realized, and said in unison: "It's that fake!"

"Let's go, follow and see. Li Qing's face changed slightly, pushed open the door and squeezed out sideways. One after the other with Master Deng, he followed in the distance where the voice came.

Gunshots were still ringing out ahead, sounding quite clear, and it didn't seem too far away. Li Qing and the others turned off their flashlights, and quickly followed the direction from which the sound came in the darkness, and gradually a faint light appeared in their field of vision.

Slowing down his footsteps, Li Qing and Deng Shi faced each other in the dark, and then the two separated, slowly approaching the light source from both directions.
