Volume 5 Qinling Evil Ghost Chapter 412 Hundred Corpses and Thousands of Ghost Cellars
Considering that Hongxing's concerns were very reasonable, several people discussed it again, and finally decided that Bai Yang would climb to the top of the nearly thirty-meter-high thief hole dug by Xun Qinjiao, and hang the rope down again.
They only had a few thin rolls of nylon rope in their backpacks, but they all brought special tools for climbing the nylon ropes.
So Poplar put down his backpack and only brought a roll of nylon rope, and then the iron ox squatted on the mound of earth that had been spilled from the hole above, and sent Poplar's entire upper body into the not very spacious thief hole on the top of the tomb in the way of a human body.
The thief hole was dug by the Qin sect, and the four walls of the thief hole were naturally all relatively hard and deep soil. But no matter how hard the deep soil is, it can't be as hard as masonry.
Poplar first used a dagger to dig a deep pit on the left and right sides of the lower part of the robbery hole, and then dug two deep pits above the shoulder, and then pressed his two elbows against the upper two deep pits, slowly curled up his whole body into the robbery hole, and pressed his knees against the two deep pits below.
Then release your elbows and straighten your waist, support your body on both knees, and dig two deep pits further up with your dagger.
In fact, it is more difficult to hang the body into the thief hole at the beginning, and then you can directly kick the deep pit with your toes, which is relatively much easier.
Of course, the cave wall is just dirt, and if you are not careful, you will step on it, and in the process of slowly moving up, Poplar once slid down, but soon Poplar held the cave wall with his hand to stabilize his body.
In the past, in the tomb of Wang Jiutang, the poplar followed the vertical passage made of bluestone bricks, and quickly climbed out by relying on the friction between his hands and feet and the cave wall.
So the thirty-meter vertical robbery hole, Poplar took less than twenty minutes to reach the top.
Even though his physical strength and endurance were superhuman, Poplar still lay down and rested for a while.
There was a sloping passage of nearly twenty meters further up, and after a little rest, Poplar heard the iron bull shouting loudly below.
Poplar hurriedly answered, telling them that he was safe, and then got up, trying to climb up the sloping passage to see if the entrance to the cave was blocked.
But he didn't expect Fang to get around, and he saw a thick rope thrown on the ground, which was the rope they hung up before, and the top of the rope was still firmly nailed to the ground by a few iron drills.
It seems that the gang knew that if Poplar had the ability to climb up from below, it would make little difference whether this rope existed or not, so after collecting the rope from below, they threw it on the ground.
So Poplar hung the rope down the cave again, and then followed the sloping passage until it reached the exit.
Sure enough, the exit had been blocked by a stone slab, and Poplar tried to carry it on his shoulder, but he couldn't carry it.
And with the weight of this stone slab, which is not too thick, since the aspen can not carry it, it can only mean that the group of people who were frightened by the lizard monster and fled in embarrassment pressed dirt or large stones on this bluestone slab.
It can be seen that what this group wants to guard against will never be the lizardmonster, because the lizardbaspon is neither that smart nor has the ability to jump directly from the tomb below into the two-meter-high thief hole, and then climb up the vertical thief hole.
So what this group of people should guard against is a few of them. Or to put it more explicitly, they want to put Poplar and others to death.
Poplar couldn't help but feel secretly angry in his heart, thinking that this group of people was really so vicious, and they had to block a few of them in this tomb. When you get out of this big tomb, you must find the Qin Sect and ask for clarification.
But the anger didn't help, and Poplar had to follow the same path back to the vertical hole of the thief, and then climb down the rope.
Hongxing and Chen Xiaopang opened their mouths to ask what was going on with the poplar, but Ding Lingling knew that the poplar must be affected a lot, and she wanted to rub her shoulder and arm for the poplar, but the girl's family was embarrassed.
Fortunately, before Ding Lingling hesitated, Tie Niu had already stood behind Bai Yang, and silently patted and kneaded Bai Yang's shoulders and arms.
Ding Lingling was no longer entangled, and hurriedly took out a kettle and dry food to quench the thirst and hunger of the poplar.
In fact, several people were already a little hungry, so they all sat down, drank water and ate, and listened to Poplar give a brief introduction to the situation above.
Several people were all hated and angry, Chen Xiaopang said: "I said before that these people took away the rope, probably to prevent the lizard monster from climbing up the rope, but now it seems that they completely want to put a few of us to death! This can't easily spare them, and after they go up, they must be made to pay!"
Bai Yang nodded and said, "We have been delayed for so long, a few hours have passed, I think we have to speed up the progress, and if we want to find these bastards for revenge, we have to finish the tomb first!"
A few people had no opinion, but Ding Lingling couldn't help but whisper: "You just climbed up and down, will you be too tired?
"It's a little tired, but it's not a big problem!" Bai Yang said truthfully and smiled at Ding Lingling.
Ding Lingling's face turned red, so she didn't ask any more.
A few people walked up to the large rock that had fallen down, and found that a large piece of the wall on the left side of the stone had collapsed—
The collapse was so obvious that a few people had already noticed it when they jumped over it, but they didn't bother to stop and take a closer look.
If you look closely, you can see that the collapse extends into the left wall, and it is clear that the lower part is the one that crosses the passage above and is blocked by a large stone.
"Look at the soil layer on top of this, there is a danger of collapsing at any time!" said Hongxing.
She was right, because the walls were full of dirt, and the passage below had collapsed, and without the support of the slates, it was indeed in danger of collapsing at any time.
Poplar grabbed a handful of the collapsed soil top with his hand and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, after all, this is a very deep layer of soil, and the hardness and viscosity of the soil far exceed the surface soil! Haven't we seen tunnel warfare? Those tunnels can't be supported by stone slabs, and if there are so many collapses, there will be no way to carry out tunnel warfare!"
"That's a good point!" Chen Xiaopang nodded, "I also think that as long as we are careful, dig forward along the passage below, and try not to touch the soil layer above, it should not cause another collapse!"
"Then let's be careful!" Tie Niu had already rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, "It's up to me to take turns with Little Fat Brother, Lao Bai is just tired, just sit down and rest for a while!"
Because only Chen Xiaopang was holding a fine steel shovel in his hand, he had to dig down in turn.
So while talking, Tie Niu snatched the fine steel shovel in Chen Xiaopang's hand and dried it up.
Naturally, it was impossible to dig up all the collapsed earth, they just dug up the wall where they could see the passage below, and then they dug along the wall.
The iron ox is as powerful as a cow and can do it quickly, and twenty minutes later, Chen Xiaopang took over and worked for another ten minutes, and he was almost able to bend down and drill into the part of the passage below that did not collapse.
However, for the sake of caution, Chen Xiaopang carefully dug for a while, and several people got into the passage in turn.
Because the blood wolves and lizardmonsters had been drilled out of here before, several people raised their vigilance and walked forward.
But nothing happened along the way, neither any more blood wolves suddenly came out, nor any other monsters suddenly appeared.
It was easy to follow the passage into a strange burial chamber, which was very humid and had a waterhole in the corner of the burial chamber.
The pool is not too deep, but because it is buried deep underground, there are still a few water stains in the pool after 3,000 years.
"It seems that this is the place where the lizardmonster sleeps!" Ding Lingling was the first to speak, "It may be that the boulder fell and brought fresh air here, which is why the lizardmonster was awakened." Otherwise, three thousand years later, no matter what kind of monster it is, it would not have survived for so long. ”
Several people thought she was right, but Hong Xing said, "This is obviously the territory of the lizard monsters, but where are the two blood wolves hiding? If they are here, why don't they fight the lizard monsters first?"
"It's impossible to say where the blood wolf is hiding, it's possible that it was buried in the soil, and it smashed them out of the soil because the boulder fell! The tomb of Qingyunzi that we found before was shaken out of a big crack in the ground by the earthquake, and as a result, I stepped into the crack in the ground and was bitten by the blood wolf...... Is it poplar?" said Iron Bull, and finally sought support from Poplar.
Poplar smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Everyone else also felt that the hiding place of the blood wolves was not a particularly important thing, after all, with the size of the blood wolves, maybe they were placed in the passage to guard the passage.
So a few people didn't discuss it again.
In the corner of the damp burial chamber, there was another passage that was not too wide, and several people walked forward along the passage, without encountering any mechanism or the like, and smoothly walked to the top of the passage, and a stone door appeared in front of them.
"I hope that after this stone door, there will be the core tomb!" Chen Xiaopang said, squatting down and starting to look for the mechanism to open the door.
Everyone else searched up and down.
It didn't take long for Chen Xiaopang to find the location of the mechanism first, and as he pressed a slightly dented green brick, the stone door slowly slid into the wall on the left.
A few people came to the door and looked inside, but they couldn't help but feel creepy.
Although he has repeatedly experienced strange and terrifying things, and has encountered many strange tombs, including Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang, they have never seen a strange and terrifying tomb to this extent.
Several lampposts were projected into it, reflecting the white chirping walls of the tomb.
The walls were inlaid with gray-white human skeletons one after another, and their inlay forms were exactly the same as the two white bones in the previous children's burial chamber.
And it wasn't just one wall that was inlaid with skeletons, all three walls as far as their eye could see were covered with skeletons like this.
And these skeletons all have one thing in common, there is no skull.
"How can this be?" Iron Bull exclaimed first, "The two skeletons in the tomb in front of me have already created two ghosts, but with so many skeletons here, aren't there countless fierce ghosts, waiting to turn people into human ghosts?"
His words made several people even more furious.
Poplar quickly looked down at the ground of the tomb, and suddenly found that on the ground in the middle of the tomb, there was a huge clay pot buried.
"Hongxing said that the clay pot in the tomb in front of me is called the ghost raising pot, so what is this huge clay pot called?" Bai Yang couldn't help blurting out.
"This ...... Much like the legendary ...... Hundreds of corpses and thousands of ghost cellars!" Hong Xing said, trembling slightly up and down her body.
And just as Hong Xing's words fell, everyone heard one after another eerie and mournful screams burrowing into their eardrums.
