The Ghost of the Tomb Chapter 16 The Contract
At this moment, I saw something crawling out of those cracks in the corner of the wall, and the dense strands of silver-white hair continued to extend out, hanging down to the ground and squirming towards the old master, I was suddenly shocked in my heart, it turned out that the roots in the black water of the first burial pit were these things, and they were now stimulated by the fishy smell of the blood hole on the old master's head and writhed like a snake, and when they were wrapped around him, they immediately curled up, wrapped him layer by layer, and in a blink of an eye he was wrapped into a cocoon, he kept shaking in the cocoon, and the bright red blood seeped out in the cracks of the roots, and was soon absorbed back by the rootsγ Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
I looked creepy, and remembered the fist-sized white thing on the lamp holder of the first burial chamber, damn it, it must be the bloody man who disappeared out of thin air, he was actually entangled in such a small ball, thinking of this, I broke down in a cold sweat, since it was not a bloody person, then since the second burial chamber, those movements that have been lingering around me, what is it that came out?
The old five monsters took me to the tunnel, and scolded in their mouths: "These roots will smell people, and if you don't leave, they will entangle us." β
I still took out the dagger, and tried to cut open the cocoon to save the old master.
The old five monsters hurriedly waved their hands and said: "I can't help it, you will also be entangled, you have seen my rotten flesh, you don't want to be like me." β
I was shocked, and when I looked back at the disfigured face of the old five monsters, I suddenly understood something in my heart.
I was finally pulled into the tunnel by the old five monsters, he touched the top of the tunnel for a while, pressed a mechanism, and the door of the tunnel slammed shut.
This tunnel is a paved step made of green bricks, straight down, I followed the old five monsters in it while sweeping around with a flashlight, I looked at the back of the old five monsters, and a trace of doubt flashed in my heart, this person has a problem.
I asked, "Who the hell are you?"
The old five monsters stopped, he was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I am the youngest of the five monsters in Luoyang. β
I said, "If I'm not mistaken, what you said about the old one blaming the four of them for being burned to ashes by the ghost fire at the escape hatch is false. β
The old five monsters said in a low voice, "Yes, it is impossible for this ancient tomb to produce that kind of ghost fire, because of the existence of that kind of roots, the entire ancient tomb is full of that kind of small gaps, and it is impossible to produce a completely sealed environment." β
I laughed and said, "You can really fool and pretend to be like the escape port." β
The old five monsters also smiled: "The one in your team called Uncle Guang is the real power, I guess he saw my routine early, so he threw fire into the escape port so boldly." β
I said, "But in the ancient tomb, you still suffered a change. β
The old five monsters looked back at me and said, "Yes, there is that kind of voice here, one of them is crazy, two of them committed suicide, and one has disappeared forever in this ancient tomb, but I am not bewitched, their blood attracted that kind of roots, and I was also entangled, and when I cut the layer of cocoons and fell out, my whole body has become like this, originally I was covered with blood and could not escape, that kind of roots and tendrils were entangled when they saw blood, and then I heard the sound of running water, and escaped from the tomb by fighting the robbery hole, and jumped into the underground river before rushing out." For many years I couldn't figure out why they were like that, only to find out that only people who were deaf in one ear were not affected. β
I heard the sound of the overtone, and my heart was cold, and I sighed.
The old five monsters asked rhetorically: "Why are you sighing?"
I said, "You have followed us from the village, and then mixed in with us, the purpose is to let our people give you a thunderstorm, and those teams that have gone and have not returned over the years have ended up like us, and when there are more dead people, you will find that only those who are deaf in one ear can not be bewitched by that sound." β
The old five monsters nodded and said, "Very good, you have such an awareness," and then looked at me with a very strange look and muttered: "I didn't expect you to be so young, and the city government has gone to this level, but it's not surprising that the people they fancy will not be ordinary people." β
I was stunned, not knowing what he meant.
The old five said: "You are the core of this team, but you have been pretending to be the lowest person among them. β
I was a little surprised, my face turned red, and I said, "No, I really can't mix it up." β
The old five monsters looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Your name is Zhuang Yin." β
I nodded and said, "Yes, this name was given to me by my mother before she died." They made fun of me and said that this name was very worthy of me, and said that if I can't mix it up, I should not come out and be embarrassed, and I should live in seclusion like Zhuangzi to avoid ridicule, so I called Zhuang Yin. β
The old five monsters also laughed at this statement, and said, "They will blush in the future because they misinterpreted this name." β
I really couldn't understand what the old five monsters were talking about, and said with an embarrassed face: "You lifted me, I've always been like that." β
The old five monsters shook their heads and said, "Tell you, including Qingkui's gang, I arranged it, and anyone who wants to enter this ancient tomb must die until I find you and help you get that thing." β
I feel more and more that the old five monsters are abnormal, thinking that the old master just now also said a lot of nonsense to me and then attacked me, I stared at the disfigured face of the old five monsters, the more I looked at it, the more I felt bottomless, I was afraid that after he said a lot of compliments and raised me, he suddenly came up and gave me a mallet.
I quickly fiddled with the plugged left ear, and the right ear tried to listen to the sound of whining nearby, the surroundings were quiet, I suspected that I had been bewitched too deeply, picked up my right hand and slapped myself hard, the scene in front of me did not change, and I was about to slap the second time, the old five monsters grabbed my arm, and said, "Although I don't know who you are, but they must not be mistaken," he pointed to the place on my arm that was bitten by the rouge Gu, and said: " I've been waiting for you here for years, and I've been watching everyone who comes here, and I've found that if they are bitten by that kind of bug, they will all turn into monsters like that without exception, except for you. β
I saw that he was thinking clearly and sincerely, not like an evil or a lie, and said, "Okay, then tell me, what are you looking for me?"
The old five monsters took out a small black cloth bag from their arms, turned out a piece of yellow silk from it and handed it to me, and said: "30 years ago, a mysterious organization with a black background bought us the Luoyang Five Monsters with a lot of money, this is a contract, you can see for yourself." β
I took the piece of silk, grabbed it in my hand and felt it, I knew that it was a good material, opened it and looked at it, and the contract read:
Now the five monsters of Luoyang received 1 million taels of gold from their own family for errands, if something happens, the five monsters of Luoyang will do their duty to protect this place, until Zhuang Yin arrives here, to assist it.
Underneath the contract are several red handprints.
The old five monsters took back the silk silk, kept looking at me, and said, "You believe it now." β
I'm skeptical.
The old five monsters said again: "I have long seen that your team is not one heart, there are obviously two groups of people, each with ill intentions, so I didn't tell the truth at first, and then find a way to separate you from them, the old master in the tomb above deserves it, he must die, I will only take you away, and when you get that thing, the contract will be completed," he paused and continued: " This ancient tomb is built very strangely, with the same twists and turns as those caves outside, you will get lost when you walk inside, you can't get out of it if you are trapped inside, and you can't go out of the cave back, because the whole tomb is covered with that kind of dragon oil, which will burn up as soon as it is pierced. β
I immediately thought of the safety of Uncle Guang and Li Taohua, and said anxiously: "There are our own people in the team. β
The old five said strangely: "There is no so-called own person." People are profit-seeking, because interests are linked together, and because interests betray each other. Now I have a community of interest with you, so you can trust me for the time being. β
I looked at the old five monsters coldly, and Uncle Guang said the same thing.
The old five monsters took me to continue walking in the tunnel, there was no abnormality here, after walking for a while, I couldn't help but be stunned, a tomb door appeared at the end of the tunnel, and the tomb door opened a gap slightly, revealing a faint white light inside.
The old five monsters scolded in their mouths: "Damn, is there something unclean in it?"
I see that the brightness of these white lights is very stable, and it feels very familiar, if I am not mistaken, there should be a lit mining lamp inside, I said to the old five monsters: "It shouldn't be a ghost, someone is in it." β
Seeing that I was not afraid, the fifth strange man was also a lot more determined, and he jumped to the door of the tomb, and he asked outside the door, "Who is inside?"
No one answered.
After waiting for a while, the miner's light inside suddenly dimmed, and after a few seconds, it returned to its brightness just now, such a change in light and darkness was not like the flickering of the miner's lamp malfunctioning, and I had an ominous feeling in my heart that there was something else in this tomb.
The old five monsters still wanted to shout inside, I waved my hand at him to signal him not to, I tried to listen to the movement inside, but it was quiet inside, and there was no sound.
It wasn't a way to go on like this, the old five monsters looked back at me, and motioned for me to be ready to push the door in, I nodded to him and pulled out my pistol. We were all standing in front of the door, and I raised my gun to the inside, and the old five monsters kicked the door open.
This is a simple square burial chamber built with stones, there is no one in it, there is a miner's lamp in the corner, it is emitting a miserable white light, I recognize this imported miner's lamp, the price is very expensive, and it is relatively heavy, and it can continue to illuminate for about 2-3 weeks when fully charged to the darkest gear.
The old five monsters muttered: "It must have been left by the group of people 2 weeks ago, what are they coming from, they didn't die in this maze, they really touched here, is there still a feng shui master like Lao Yiwei in the rivers and lakes today?"
I remembered the two big bags on the edge of the corpse pit in the ghost forest, one of which was equipped with a machine similar to a geological exploration instrument, and I finally understood the function of those things, and said to the old five monsters: "Looking at the formation, they should not be traditional Tufuzi, it is not a feng shui exploration technique, they use high-tech instruments, so it is not surprising that they can find this place." β
There is also a bag next to the miner's lamp, it seems that it was also left by that group of people, I opened it to see, there was some equipment and food inside, and there was a pile of folded paper inside, which was stained with fresh blood, I trembled and opened the folded paper to take a look, I couldn't help but feel happy, this is actually a set of drawings of this ancient tomb, drawn by computer, very finely done, and there are a lot of manual notes on it.
The old five monsters looked straight and sighed: "I can't imagine that 30 years have passed, there are already such powerful things in the world today, the ancestors' jobs are going to be smashed, if things change to now, that mysterious organization will not find our Luoyang five monsters because of the old monster's feng shui knowledge, maybe they can escape this catastrophe, and the will of heaven will be difficult to disobey." β
This set of maps shows that this ancient tomb was built on the basis of karst landforms, the scale is very large, each cave is built into a burial chamber, large and small burial chambers at least more than 100, all intricately distributed in this place, the lower layer of the ancient tomb has a huge cave, there is a deep crack at the bottom of the cave.
I finally found the tomb we are in on one of the maps, the map shows that there is an exit on the top of the tomb wall on the east side of this tomb, I used a flashlight to go over, there is indeed a secret door there, but I still have a feeling in my heart, because the moment the flashlight flashed just now, I saw that there seemed to be a person in the blind corner under the secret door that the miner's light could not illuminate.
