Chapter 186: Poisoning
Everyone tossed for most of the day, and they were all injured by Chu Yingying, and they were already very tired.
"Let's look again. Su Qian said.
Once you rest, you don't want to move anymore.
After another search, but found nothing, Feather and the other three returned to the cave exhausted and lay down.
There is a lot of space here, and there are permanent lights, so it is the perfect place to rest.
"I'm dying of thirst. Zong Ze's voice was a little hoarse, "I knew I would have brought two bottles of water." ”
They didn't expect this to happen, and they didn't bring anything or water.
Of course, they are all cultivators, but they are a little uncomfortable, if they are not injured, it is no problem to survive for ten days without eating or drinking.
"You will rest, and I will look for it. Su Qian said.
He's not bad, but he has important things to do.
After making two turns along the passage, making sure that the feathers did not follow, they directly entered the stone dragon space and drank a few sips of ambergris.
Feather and the others can't be counted on, he must recover his strength quickly, and then find a way to take them out.
"Do you really have a way to deal with this wraith spell?" he asked Xiaolong.
Hearing Senior Brother Li say that before, I was still a little worried.
Later, Xiaolong said that it had little impact on him, and he was slightly relieved.
"When I come out of my shell, these things are small things. Xiaolong said lazily, "Besides, even if you ignore it, the impact on you is very limited." ”
Su Qian has dragon blood on his body, which specializes in restraining yin and evil things.
Even if the Wraith Charm can attract some unclean things, it will not dare to approach him, but it will have some effect on the people around him.
"Then when are you coming out?" Su Qian asked, staring at Shi Long.
Even if it doesn't have any effect, a jet-black handprint on his chest is disturbing to look at.
"It's still early, you think it's so easy to recover, it's all your fault for beating me in the first place. Xiaolong said resentfully, "When the spirit stones are used up, let's get some more." ”
"Got it. Su Qian said, "Is there any other way to break the Wraith Curse?"
"You can let the people of Yumen do it, you have helped them so much, they won't be able to do this. Xiaolong said.
"Okay, do you know how to get out?" asked Su Qian.
"You and I are a jack of all trades, the entrance and exit are blocked, just dig an exit, anyway, you have the strength. Xiaolong said.
“……”
Su Qian came out of the space speechlessly, feeling a lot of energy.
He returned to the cave and thought that what Xiaolong said was a solution, better than sitting here and waiting to die.
"Why don't we dig an exit. He suggested.
"Where to dig from, if it hits the mountain, wouldn't it be in vain?" said Senior Brother Li.
He also thought about this problem, but now that they are injured and their physical strength is very poor, if they dig in the wrong direction, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.
"Let's find a place that's closest to the ground and not rocky above. Su Qian thought for a while and said, "This place is located on the dark side of the mountain, and there was light rain in the whole county the day before yesterday, and it was cloudy in the past two days, so find the wettest place in the passage, which is almost the closest place to the ground." ”
The basis of this theory is that the soil will absorb water layer by layer, and the thinner the channel from the ground, it should be wetter, and where the soil layer is thicker, the rainwater is often absorbed by the upper layers of soil and fails to penetrate down.
If there is a rock formation above, it will be harder for rainwater to penetrate and drier below.
"There is some truth, although not very accurate. Senior Brother Li thought for a while and said, "There is no better way at present, so let's follow this method." ”
The four of them acted in two groups, Su Qian and Yu Feather looked for the front, and Senior Brother Li and Yu Ze went to the rear passage to look for it.
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart. Feather said, licking her dry lips.
"That's it. Su Qian knew that she was thirsty, but he didn't dare to give her ambergris.
She is a cultivator, and she will definitely find a problem when she drinks it, and then she will be in trouble.
So he won't expose ambergris until he has to.
They touched the walls of the passage and walked slowly forward, comparing the degree of dryness.
"The further forward I go, the wetter it gets. Feather said.
Su Qian nodded, and finally felt very damp in the place where it was sealed by the boulder.
He asked Senior Brother Li and Yu Ze to come over and feel it, and finally thought that it was the wettest place.
"Rest well, and I'll take care of the rest. Su Qian saw that they were extremely tired.
He went to the cave, took down a bronze lampstand with a long lamp, bent the sides slightly into a claw shape, and found some stones to stand on tiptoe to make sure that he could stand on it and reach the top of the passage.
"This place must not have been dug up by Yi Daochang himself, maybe it was an ancient tomb before, and after he discovered it, it was transformed into what it is now. Senior Brother Li said, "That cave may be the main burial chamber. ”
I don't know which person is unlucky, and when he dies, his tomb is robbed, and he has no peace.
"Quite possibly. Zong Ze said, "This is a big project, and it is too extravagant to use it for escape." But if it was, then where did the coffin and the body go? He couldn't have all been removed, could he have burned?"
Inside the cave, except for the traces of their burning of the evil cat, there was no sign of burning.
After Yi Daochang can't burn it, he will clean it up, and he doesn't look like a person with a habit of cleanliness.
"Then there is another possibility, that the boulder is not blocking the end, but part of the passage, and on the other side, there is a burial chamber. Senior Brother Li speculated.
"Don't scare me, senior brother, if that's the case, what if something dirty flies over there and makes trouble for us?" Yu Ze said.
"It's still a long time coming, besides, isn't there Brother Su Qian, his blood is more evil than anything else. Senior Brother Li said with a smile.
"Damn, you treat me as a blood bank. Su Qian said while digging the soil, "By the way, the three of you must help me keep this secret secret, and you must not tell it to others, not even your master." ”
"Okay, let's not say. Feather said, "But you are really powerful, you have been tossing for so long a day, and you are still so energetic." ”
"It's better to be young. Senior Brother Li and Zong Ze were also quite envious.
It stands to reason that Su Qian's injuries are more serious than all of them, but now he seems to have recovered a lot, which is really a freak.
"Envy, youth is capital. Su Qian said with a smile and continued to dig.
After the excavated soil is just solid, stand on it and continue digging, raising the ground as you dig.
"There is a question, I don't understand very well, after Chu Yingying drowned, the body was salvaged, why was it not cremated but buried?" asked Feather.
Fortunately, Su Qian used blood to burn Chu Yingying's body, otherwise once he ran out, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
"Although cremation has been practiced for many years, there are still some places where people secretly bury them. Senior Brother Li said, "Especially in some remote places, there are even some places where there are secret marriages." ”
"Bad habits are harmful!" Yu Ze said.
Su Qian continued to dig with a copper hook, felt a light on it, and hurriedly jumped to the back.
Crash!
The dirt on top collapsed, and the moonlight shone in.
"It's a success!" the crowd suddenly became more energetic.
They trampled on the dirt and climbed up one after the other.
Unbeknownst to them, on the other side of the boulder, at the end of the long passage, was a large bronze door covered with sealing runes.
