Chapter 157: I didn't even know who the villain was for a while
The hearts of the people were shocked.
It was the seventh everlasting lamp on the left, and the original cyan lamp was dyed red with blood at this time, and it seemed to come to life in the beating light, which was really weird.
At the same time, a strong smell of blood also came, and what was even more strange was that the ever-bright lamp next to it was also glowing with blood.
Qian Lao sniffed lightly, and his expression changed suddenly: "Hurry up and light the light!"
A disciple subconsciously turned on the flashlight, and Xu Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Stupid, it's these ever-bright lights!"
Everyone reacted and lit those lamps with all hands and feet, and the blood on the previous two lamps immediately retreated.
"No more, no less, exactly forty-nine ......" At this time, someone noticed something strange.
Senior Qian's eyes swept over these ever-bright lights one by one, and suddenly sighed: "Old man, I am really old, if it weren't for Brother Xin's caution, we would probably have to be all here." β
Xu Hui said the question in everyone's hearts: "Uncle Shi, what is going on?"
Qian Lao's eyes were far away, as if he had fallen into a memory: "You are not very old, I'm afraid you haven't heard of the name of this 'Blood Phosphorus Gu'."
Fifty or sixty years ago, when I was a teenager, I had seen the power of the hole digging with my first master. β
"Uncle Shi, you used to be a tomb robber...... Xu Hai subconsciously answered, and immediately realized the contempt in his words, and quickly covered his mouth.
Qian Lao didn't care, and said with a smile: "The previous days were not as relaxed as they are now, and those who are in chaos can only live on this."
At that time, I followed Master into a group of people, and a group of people sneaked into an old mountain and entered an unnamed tomb.
This tomb is really strange, there is everything in it, that is, there is nothing that indicates the identity of the owner of the tomb. β
Everyone was captivated by his story.
Gangneung said: "Many of the tombs found now are like this, and it is up to archaeologists to do their best to solve these mysteries." β
Qian Lao nodded: "That's right, so we didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and when we entered the tomb, we were stopped by the countless gold, silver, jewelry, and rare antiques inside."
At that time, one of us divided dozens of pounds of treasuresβyes, it's about poundsβand was about to quit happily, but was stopped by one person.
He pointed to the coffin in the middle and said that the funeral goods outside were so precious, and the things inside were even more remarkable, so he asked us if we wanted to open the museum. β
"Greed is not enough, snakes swallow elephants. Speaking of this, remorse flashed in Qian Lao's eyes, "It would be nice if we ignored him, but unfortunately everyone was fascinated by the treasure at that time, and they were a little impatient when they heard this."
However, my master kept an eye on it, quietly stuffed a nasturtium into my pocket, and told me, 'Brother, you wait in the graveyard outside, and if the situation inside is not right, find someone to collect the body for us.'"
At that time, I listened to Master's words the most, and although I was also curious, I ran out anyway.
They closed the door of the burial chamber, and I couldn't see what was going on inside, but before long I heard a loud movement coming from inside, and the Master was priing the coffin with an iron hammer, and then there was a heavy dull thud and their cheers. β
An irrepressible flash of horror flashed on the old man's face, and his voice trembled.
"But then it became very quiet, so quiet that it was eerily quiet, and I listened intently for a long time, but there was still no movement at all, and I wondered if they were poisoned?
Just when I couldn't resist wanting to go inside and take a look, I heard a chewing sound, much like a person eating something.
I crept over, leaning on the crack in the door to look inside, the strong smell of blood penetrated my nostrils, I was inexplicably frightened, I didn't dare to continue looking, but in the end I couldn't help it......"
Da Da Da β
Qian Lao teeth fought.
Bai Xiu didn't know what kind of fear it was, but it made people like Qian Lao afraid to be like this.
Xu Hui also noticed Qian Lao's abnormality, and hurriedly helped him: "Uncle Shi, don't think about it if you can't think of it, it's important to hurry." β
The trembling body suddenly stopped.
Qian Lao took a deep breath and looked at him with a smile: "Old man, I will be seventy years old soon, and I don't have any face, I can only let go of the things of the year when I tell them......
At that moment, I was really scared stupid, the skeletons behind the door, the flesh on it was still not clean, and the white bones were stained with red minced meat, and I was so frightened that I vomited.
Later, the master's face was also revealed, and half of his body was rotten, and he got up from the pile of bones and blocked the crack in the door, and he didn't know what was in the way.
He said to me, 'Brother, find Master Wen, go find Master Wen'!
My mind was blank, and I subconsciously ran out, and by the time I came to my senses, I was already out of the mountain.
At that time, I wanted to go back, and if Master died, I would also carry his bones back.
But the things inside are so powerful, even the master can't deal with them, what can I do?
Fortunately, I was still clever at that time, and I immediately remembered who this Master Wen was, so I went to Tianjing Peak non-stop, and used the golden lotus flower as money to ask him to come over to help.
As a result, we walked around the mountains for three days and three nights, but we couldn't find the tomb, and then after another month, I gave up.
That Master Wen may have felt a little reluctant not to help me, or he saw that I was really pitiful at a young age, so he accepted me as an apprentice, and he is my master, your great ancestor. β
Xu Hui was shocked when he heard this: "Uncle Shi, that monster is the Blood Phosphorus Gu? What the hell is this? What does it have to do with this bleeding lamp?"
Qian Lao sighed: "I'm ashamed, I still don't know what it is, I only know that it is very subtle like mycelium at first, and once a person gets close, it will smell the wind and grow, and gradually become something like water." β
Cheng Lu exclaimed: "In other words, the blood that came out of the lamp just now is Blood Phosphorus Gu?!"
"Yes, Blood Phosphorus Gu is afraid of fire, that's why I let you light these lamps. Qian Lao stroked his beard and looked at Bai Xiu, "Brother Xin is really knowledgeable, thanks to you, we don't have the Tao here." β
Bai Xiu shook his head: "I just happened to notice the abnormality. β
Jiang Ling glanced at Ling Cang: "So, Brother Ling doesn't know either?"
As soon as these words came out, others cast questioning glances at the latter, and their expressions were also quite dissatisfied.
Cheng Lu took the opportunity to sneer: "I don't want to say it even if Brother Ling knows, then we will all be swallowed by this blood phosphorus, and everything is not all his!"
Ling Cang laughed angrily: "I want to kill you, I have a chance, why should I follow you into danger?"
Cheng Lu snorted coldly: "Heaven and Earth Bell can restrain that corpse sacrifice array, what other treasures can you have to protect yourself from being attacked by Blood Phosphorus Gu, we are defenseless when we come here, don't you have a better chance of winning?"
Even if we do, you can excuse us by saying that we triggered the trap so that we don't get suspicious!"
Ling Cang was speechless.
Seeing that he seemed to acquiesce, everyone else was vigilant.
Bai Xiu's purpose of planting and dividing the wedge had been achieved, and at this time he finally spoke: "We may have misunderstood Brother Ling." β
Cheng Lu glared at him, and said hatefully: "This kid has been squeezing you before, why are you still talking to him?!"
Jiang Ling knew that Bai Xiu would not say this for no reason, so he took over the conversation: "You talk about it." β
"I don't know if all this is Brother Ling's arrangement, but the reason why this Blood Phosphorus Gu 'came alive' is because someone sowed blood bait, in fact, the fact that Blood Phosphorus Gu should be awakened by people's breath is just a rumor. β
He turned his head to Qian Lao and said, "Old man, back then, your master and they would not have attracted blood phosphorus Gu, but someone did it on purpose. β
Qian Lao frowned and said, "Are you saying that the white bones I saw at that time were not owned by everyone in them, and someone took advantage of this to escape?"
Bai Xiu sighed: "Maybe it's greed, maybe it's other purposes, he used the Blood Phosphorus Gu to bury the whole truth, and one thing is for sure, he is extremely familiar with that place, and he also knows the Blood Phosphorus Gu extremely well." β
"Could it be that he ......" Qian Lao seemed to have thought of something, but when others asked, he changed the subject, "What is this blood bait?"
Bai Xiu was not curious about this old man's concealment, and explained: "Blood phosphorus Gu is actually a kind of algae, and blood bait will make them mutate.
In the process of this mutation, Blood Phosphorus Gu will secrete an extremely corrosive substance, but this substance will no longer be harmful after burning, which is why they are afraid of fire. β
The Blood Phosphorus Gu that can corrode several people must have a certain weight, and that person can burn down the tomb in a short period of time by setting a fire and igniting the residual Blood Phosphorus Gu, and he only needs to deal with the traces on the ground to hide from the world. β
Qian Lao's face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he had cleared his mind.
Everyone could understand his mood, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little dull.
Cheng Lu's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and suddenly said, "Who will be the person who secretly sowed blood bait?
Eventually, he stopped his gaze on Ling Cang: "In terms of familiarity, you are the one among us who knows the most about this place, and in terms of purpose, I also said it just now...... The surname is Ling, is it the ghost you did?!"
"I haven't even heard the word Blood Phosphorus Gu. Ling Cang shot back coldly, "If you want to talk about the purpose, which of us here doesn't have such a mind."
Besides, if it was really me, would I point all the fingers at myself?"
There was no doubt that Ling Cang's words were to the point.
Bai Xiu interrupted everyone's thoughts at the right time: "The matter has come to this, mutual suspicion will only make things worse, I don't know what else is in front of us, we can only get what we want if we work together." β
