Chapter 171: Falling Up
Thinking of that height, Xu Hui and Xiao Zou couldn't help but shudder.
The latter hesitated: "Is there no other way, these 'bridges' don't know how many years they have existed, in case they decay and break, and we are not eaten by the yin, we will fall half to death." ”
Cheng Lu said confidently: "You are young and timid, those bluestone slabs are all used glutinous rice syrup mixed with lime to die, and some ancient tombs use this anti-theft, and they have not been broken for thousands of years." ”
Xu Hui couldn't tell him, so he had to look at Jiangling.
The former was also a little hesitant, and finally asked Bai Xiu, "What do you think?"
Bai Xiu hurriedly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "It's also a way, it's really not good, I'll go up and try it first." ”
"Well, of course I proposed that I went. Cheng Lu was very righteous and didn't want him to take risks, so he grinned and said, "Seeing that I am short and concise, it is perfect to explore the way." ”
Bai Xiu had already made up his mind.
He had this plan before, it was too strange here, it was better to investigate first, so he said: "I'm familiar with the Yin, if they attack, it's easy to deal with." ”
Seeing that the two were arguing, Jiang Ling finally made a decision: "Then you can go together." ”
Of course, Bai Xiu didn't care, but Cheng Lu was embarrassed.
He shook his head and said: "It's okay now, if there is an accident, we really don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but we want to die on the same day and month of the same year......"
The two took the climbing rope and quickly climbed the bluestone canal overhead.
In fact, it is two meters wide above, but it is not difficult to walk, the main consideration is people's courage, the timid are a little bit, standing on it, ten meters high, I am afraid that I will be scared and faint.
Bai Xiu and Cheng Lu are obviously not such people, they don't go fast, but they are very steady.
In particular, Cheng Lu still had the heart to joke, and said: "Although I didn't get the fragment of the Tribulation Life Ding this time, it can be regarded as living and dying with Xin Fang, and it is worth the trip." ”
Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile, but secretly investigated carefully.
It didn't take long for them to reach the top of the pillar safely.
Cheng Lu first turned around and waved his hand at the three of Jiangling, and then said to Bai Xiu: "Let's go down here?"
Bai Xiu nodded, tied the rope with him, and slowly slid down the huge stone pillar.
Qian Lao and Xudao naturally also discovered their actions, and they had been waiting below for a long time.
As soon as Cheng Lu landed, he asked, "Old man, what's the matter with you?"
Xudao preemptively said: "It's all my fault, so that Uncle Shi and my ancestor are tired of me." ”
Qian Lao patted his head, and finally said to Bai Xiu and Cheng Lu: "It's strange to say, I found the void path and rushed back, but I don't know what's going on, we arrived here."
At first, I looked at the crevices and thought I had come to the place where I had come in, but I ended up here. ”
A flash of inspiration flashed in Bai Xiu's mind, and he asked in a deep voice, "You guys keep going up?"
When he asked, Cheng Lu also found something strange: "What's going on, you go up, we go down, but here, we are on top?"
Bai Xiu's thoughts were racing, and he faintly realized something, and seeing him with such a look, the others looked over inquiringly.
He said, "When they come over from Jiangling, let's discuss it together." ”
Not long after, the other three also descended to the altar.
Seeing their strange expressions, Jiang Ling couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? What did you find?"
Cheng Lu said that the matter was like this, and the three of them were also surprised, and just as they were about to speak, there was a tremor under their feet.
"What's going on?!" Cheng Lu swept the flashlight around, and suddenly exclaimed, ", what is that?!"
I saw countless thin lines hanging down on the bluestone canal at some point, and there was a black thing hanging at the other end of the thin line.
Cheng Lu walked to the edge of the altar, took a bold photo, and his mother crawled back with a bang.
When he came to his senses, he suddenly scolded: "It's disgusting, whoever wrapped the corpse in a black cloth and hung it on it, it was all rotten into a pile of cotton wool, and the corpse liquid almost dripped onto me."
Luckily it doesn't stink, otherwise we wouldn't have escaped, and we'd have been disgusted to death by these things!"
"Are those bodies standing or hanging upside down?"
"Those corpses are decomposing, but they don't smell?"
Bai Xiu and Qian Lao asked at the same time.
Cheng Lu looked left and right, and finally looked at Bai Xiu curiously: "How do you know that those corpses are hanging upside down?"
Bai Xiu said in his heart, and motioned to answer his next question.
Cheng Lu had no choice but to turn to Qian Lao and said, "Old man, can you also be unpredictable?" That's right, those corpses are so rotten that they can't do it, but they just don't have a taste." ”
"That's right...... Qian Lao looked up at the bluestone canals, "This is also an eight-star corpse sacrifice array." ”
Jiang Ling couldn't help frowning, obviously realizing that trouble was coming, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Qian Lao pointed to the top of his head, and then pointed to the black cloth wrapped in the corpse, and said: "Those bluestone canals are corpse beds, and the black cloth is an inferior talisman, which specifically binds people's souls."
The reason why the corpse is rotten and not smelly is that it is attached to a special cinnabar.
This cinnabar not only slows down the decay rate of corpses, but also cuts off the connection between the soul and the body, making them only for the circle to draw.
If my guess is correct, these corpses have been here for almost twenty years. ”
He walked over slowly, staring at one of them.
Suddenly, he sighed, and then his face changed drastically, and he looked back at everyone and said in disbelief: "This person seems to be the former owner of Mingyue Island, Mingyue Jian, who died violently twenty years ago?!"
"What?" everyone looked at each other, not expecting him to recognize the identity of the corpse, let alone that this person was Ming Yuejian, who died for no reason twenty years ago.
Bai Xiu swept his gaze, his voice was a little astringent, and he said in a daze: "Twenty years ago, the people of Mingyue Island went to the empty building, and even the owner of Mingyue Island died and couldn't see the body, could they ...... It's all here?!"
The others were a little speechless, and it was a little scary to think that an entire island of people would be killed without a word, and their souls would still be bound here.
After a while, Jiang Ling said mockingly: "Heavenly Dao cycle, retribution is not happy, their Ming family likes to kill auxiliary formations, but they never thought that one day they would end up like this." ”
Everyone was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, everyone was used to seeing life and death, and they were just a little embarrassed.
Qian Lao said: "It's too bad, there is an eight-star sacrificial corpse array here, and I don't know what to guard, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get out." ”
Although he didn't want to admit it, the situation he said was really something they had to consider.
Several people were preoccupied, and suddenly Xiao Zou pulled the placket of Qian Lao's clothes, looked at it cautiously and said, "Uncle Shi, that one over there seems to be moving......
The direction he was pointing was one of the corpses.
Hearing him say this, everyone has a hairy heart.
They were looking over there, but they suddenly heard Xu Hui exclaim, and turned their heads to look, where is his figure?!
"Hui'er!" Qian Lao hurriedly shouted.
Others were also on guard, and in the end, Bai Xiu found the clue: "On top!"
When everyone looked up, they saw that Xu Hui seemed to have fainted, and his head was hung in the air by a thin rope less than the size of the tip of the chopsticks.
Everyone's expressions changed, Cheng Lu swallowed his saliva, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that these ropes are alive?!"
Bai Xiu was still thinking about the previous question, but he was a little convinced, so he shook his head: "No, he fell on it." ”
Jiang Ling thought for a moment and said, "You mean, he was hanged by someone?"
Qian Lao said angrily: "Could it be that Ling Cang is a ghost again?!"
"......" Bai Xiu knew that now was not the time to explain, and said to Cheng Lu, "Let's go around to the top, you take a closer look below, if there is any situation, don't act rashly, it's important to save people." ”
Without waiting for them to ask, he led Cheng Lu to climb the stone pillar.
But Cheng Lu was a person who couldn't hold back, and asked while crawling, "Bai Xiu, what the hell is going on?"
Bai Xiu said helplessly: "I don't say it, I'm afraid that everyone will be afraid, there are a lot of puppets here." ”
Cheng Lu was dumbfounded: "A lot of ghosts? Could it be that the ghosts of the people of Mingyue Island are still lingering?"
Bai Xiu didn't bother to explain, nodded and said, "Almost, they are doing it." ”
When he reached the top of the stone pillar, he quietly handed Cheng Lu a small bag of things and told him in a low voice: "If something grabs you for a while, you can use this to sprinkle it on it." ”
As he was talking, the rope with Xu Hui hanging below suddenly shook, as if he was provoking them.
Cheng Lu got up, waved his hand and said, "You wait for me here, I'll meet it!"
Cheng Lu tied the rope to the bluestone canal on the side and fell down carefully.
Fortunately, the rope was not far from the stone pillar, and he soon hooked it.
As soon as he got started, he shuddered and scolded in a low voice: ", it's so cold!"
He hurriedly pushed back, but his body couldn't move for half a minute.
At first he thought that the angle was not right, but after adjusting it a few times, he suddenly realized that the reason why he couldn't move was because the hand holding the string was stuck by a strong force.
When he thought of Bai Xiu's words, he couldn't laugh or cry.
He had to sprinkle the contents of the paper bag with his hands like this, and hurriedly shouted: "Xin Fang, come on, I'm being pulled by something!"
After shouting a few times and not responding, he barely looked up to see that the stone pillar was empty, and there was nothing.
He panicked at that time, and was about to ask Jiangling for help, but he felt a sudden itch on his hand, and subconsciously took it and dragged Xu Hui over.
Cheng Lu didn't have time to think about it, grabbed Xu Hui and hurriedly climbed back.
Until he picked up Xu Hui and stood firmly, he still couldn't come back to his senses, and when he looked back, there was still a person on the string.
Am I carrying not a human but a ghost?
Cheng Lu was frightened by his own thoughts, in his opinion, any danger is not terrible, but the unknown is the most terrifying.
He couldn't help but look at the person on his back, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his back was so heavy that he could barely take a step.
And at this moment, the man hanging upside down on the string said with tears and laughter: "Why don't you go down yet?"
Cheng Lu was startled, but he felt that the voice was extremely familiar, and he turned his head to see that person was not Bai Xiu, but who was it?
He breathed a sigh of relief at the time, and immediately couldn't help complaining: "Didn't you tell me to spread that thing depending on the situation, why did you run there by yourself?!"
"Because I found that I just gave too little, and that dose couldn't suppress it at all, that's why Li Daitao stiffened......"
Bai Xiu said helplessly, "Go down quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it, if I leave, it will continue to pester you." ”
