Chapter 85: A Night Visit to the Mausoleum
The water was pitch black, and it was impossible to fish with a net, and the saliva of the giant tadpoles was poisonous, and it was no joke to be bitten, and it was impossible to go into the water to catch them, so they could only be lured by the light of the fire. Also due to the sluggishness of the giant tadpoles, the progress of the capture is not fast.
The water was rising, and it didn't take long for them to stand before they had to take a few steps back.
It's a daunting task.
This cave is cold and windy, and the Dragon Boat Festival is shivering.
"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to leave soon."
When the Dragon Boat Festival gritted his teeth and insisted, Chongyang silently came to say that, and the Dragon Boat Festival smiled and said freely: "With the care of the little lady, my husband's heart is warm, what is this cold!" ”
At the back, the water rose more and more, and they retreated directly to the entrance of the cave, and finally, regardless of whether the task was completed or not, the water rose up, and they had to leave.
Almost as soon as they exited the tunnel, the water flooded the tunnel.
Facing the bat overhead, Chongyang still silenced the Dragon Boat Festival.
When I got outside, the temperature grew, and the body shook during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was comfortable!
"It's a good harvest." After glancing at the harvest, Chongyang said. Although there is still some distance from the target, this amount is enough.
Back in the village, the village chief had already fallen asleep, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was still waiting for Chongyang to come back. Chongyang took about an hour for their trip, and the stalactite cave would be vacated with the water receding during this time, and the rest of the time was underwater.
No one knows why there is such a rule, the water is freshwater, but it is not ruled out that it may be related to the rise of the sea, and the villagers do not care about this. The people in the village didn't know what a giant tadpole was. Occasionally, I would catch and eat, and although the saliva was poisonous and the big head was cut off, the rest of the meat was still good and tender.
The bats in the cave also taste good.
It is all meat that the villagers beat their teeth for.
Unloading the back basket, Chongyang dried the giant tadpoles in the yard, and the Dragon Boat Festival went to take a bath, taking a natural open-air hot spring bath, and the moment it entered the water, the Dragon Boat Festival sent out a comfortable **.
Chongyang is busy. The Dragon Boat Festival had a lot of fun playing in the bath. It is to blow out the lamp and sleep.
Under the shroud of darkness, there was silence, and in the calm breathing of the village chief's youngest son, the Dragon Boat Festival who had already fallen asleep. Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
He took advantage of the night. Took a torch. Head straight to the cave you went to before.
What is he going to do? Naturally, it's time to find the entrance to the mausoleum! Chongyang said that the mausoleum was under Xiaonan Village, and he had observed the cave in its underground pattern. It is most likely the entrance to the mausoleum!
The stalactite cave with giant tadpoles has been flooded, he is looking for other caves, under the squeak of bats overhead, and from time to time he will throw a few pieces of, Dragon Boat Festival found a lot of large and small holes in the cave, Dragon Boat Festival did not hesitate to choose a hole that people can pass through and drill in.
After exploring, I found that this cave is complex like a labyrinth, and the cave leads in all directions, and ordinary people are likely to get lost in it, facing the unknown ahead, there will be fear, and the villagers dare not come here to explore. As you can see, the Dragon Boat Festival is even more convinced that this may be the entrance to the mausoleum! This labyrinth alone can be prohibitive, excellent defense.
However, this can only work for ordinary people, the Dragon Boat Festival is not an ordinary person, he uses his means to find what he wants in the labyrinth.
As he fumbled, the minutes passed, and the sky gradually brightened.
In the boundless darkness, the torches of the Dragon Boat Festival have long been burned out.
Suddenly, a light appeared in front of him.
It was also at this time that behind him, a silent hostility attacked him.
The feet of the person who came were silent, and the action of raising his hand when he was about to do it drove the airflow, and the Dragon Boat Festival noticed this subtle airflow!
Almost when the blade was about to stab the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival disappeared strangely!
The person who attacked him pounced in the air, and in surprise, the Dragon Boat Festival appeared behind him, and without giving any time, the Dragon Boat Festival slashed at the back of the man's neck with a hand knife.
Supporting the man, the Dragon Boat Festival gently put him down, not because he was afraid that the fall would hurt him, but because he didn't want the sound of him falling to the ground to alarm others.
Dragon Boat Festival smiled brightly, "It seems that this is it." ”
Looking at the light ahead, the figure of the Dragon Boat Festival disappeared into the darkness, and there were still people staring at him in the dark, and at the moment when they lost their goal, they thought they had seen a ghost.
However, in the next moment, the people lurking in the shadows fell one by one, who plotted them, no need to guess, it must be the Dragon Boat Festival.
The killer has a unique assassination method, as the top killer of the Dragon Boat Festival, he has his own set of means to hide his figure, just like Chongyang's cloud vertical step.
The emperor's mausoleum is still a mausoleum with a tomb keeper, and when the Dragon Boat Festival heard the news, he was very interested. Be interested in the funerary goods inside, but also in the grave keepers who live in the catacombs.
Like the villagers on the ground, there is also a group of grave keepers underground. There were not many people, about twenty people, women and children, and it was dawn, and it was the time of their activities, and the sunlight leaked through the cracks in the high stones, providing the necessary light source for the platform where a dozen stone houses were gathered.
It's hot here, much hotter than above, and the people here are just covering the key areas, revealing large areas of skin, which are going to be immersed in the pig cage when this is changed......
A path leads to the grave keeper's dwelling, surrounded by a dark ravine.
If you want to go deeper, you must walk through this road that crosses the ravine, and the moment you walk up, you must be exposed to the sight of the grave keeper.
Dragon Boat Festival glanced around, and silently retreated into the darkness.
When he came out again, he was transfigured into the face of one of the people he had killed, and he was dressed in the clothes of the people here. Eh, it is said to be a dress, but in fact it is just a shy skirt, when you put it on, the Dragon Boat Festival is actually shy, but, for the sake of the purpose, he endured it.
He clutched his arms and his throat with one hand, blood oozing from his fingers. He hurried to his dwelling, and when a woman saw him, she met him and asked, "What is the matter?" ”
The Dragon Boat Festival didn't say anything, after all, he pretended that his neck was also injured, just to avoid exposing his mouth. He blushed and rushed forward a few more meters, and suddenly collapsed.
"There are intruders!"
Now the people in the settlement became nervous.
The alarm bell sounds, the child enters the house, the woman comes out with a weapon in hand, and what about the other young men? Didn't show up.
The women stared at the road, waiting.
The Dragon Boat Festival was helped up and retreated to the rear for treatment.
There are only a few people around, and when they open their eyes during the Dragon Boat Festival, they solve the troubles around them in minutes. In the face of these women, the Dragon Boat Festival is really a little uncontrollable.
Dragon Boat Festival sighed: "For the sake of a mausoleum, I have been living in this kind of place, and when necessary, I have to block the road of the intruder with my body and guard it with flesh and blood, what a crime." The lord has decided, the lord will destroy this mausoleum and give you freedom! ”
Nodding with a sense of justice, he affirmed himself, left the house during the Dragon Boat Festival, and continued his expedition.
Everyone's attention was on the possible intruders ahead, and the Dragon Boat Festival passed the first hurdle and embarked on the suspended road leading to other places.
This road is narrower than the previous one, and when you walk on it, you can feel the hot wind blowing up from below, and you can feel the fear of the unknown below. (To be continued......)
