Chapter 128: Exploration and Discovery
Luo Qiu nodded, and couldn't help admiring Qin Su's erudition in his heart.
The two of them rested for about ten minutes, and after Luo Qiu was active and almost returned to normal, he didn't dare to slack off and continued to chase in the direction where the village chief and the others had left.
Luo Qiu also sighed at the magic of this snake soup grass when he walked, the muscles were so seriously strained, but he didn't expect that it would only take so much time to return to normal.
Thanks to this snake soup grass, when the two came to a bush pile, they couldn't help but stop where they were.
Although it is not clear how far the village chief and the others have gone in this direction, they should have disappeared around here, because the cluttered footsteps on the ground have almost disappeared here.
Right!
It's just gone, the dense footprints are clearly visible on the ground because of the rain yesterday, but these footprints have never spread out of the bushes, and seem to have disappeared here.
Qin Su exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered it, "What is this?" ”
"There's a stone tablet here, and under this stone tablet, it seems to be covered with something." While speaking, Qin Su lay on the ground and looked sideways.
A trace of consternation flashed on Luo Qiu's face, and he followed to see it.
I saw that under the stone stele, there was a pile of stones, in the shape of an arc, like a dry well.
"A well, the well is covered with stone slabs, you say, don't you think this situation is a bit dramatic, for example, in Journey to the West, I remember that there is such a bridge, is the king of Wuji Country like? Isn't there some secret hidden in this well? Qin Su seemed to be a little half-joking.
Luo Qiu spread his hands and said, "It seems that most of these guys have gone down from here." ”
Qin Su nodded and said, "If you go down or not, just open it and see." ”
Qin Su patted the stone tablet and signaled not to talk nonsense, and hurriedly started.
This stele is quite thick, Rao is our two big men, and it takes the boss's strength to move, after the stele is removed, I see that below this, there is a deep and huge well.
This well is a little abnormal, the general village well Luoqiu is not unseen, the diameter is generally about one meter, but the wellhead of this well, but it is more than three meters wide, it is like a hole in the ground.
Obviously, this well does not look like a draft well, if I have to describe it, it feels more like a mine, because its wall is also inlaid with stairs, like the iron ladder when climbing in and out of bed in dormitory accommodation.
It was about too much time, and the ladder was covered with a thick layer of yellow rust, and Qin Su lit the lighter and shone it down, but he couldn't completely probe the bottom of the well, only half of the well.
However, with such a little light, you can clearly see the bryophytes growing on the wall of the well, these plants are densely clinging to the wall of the well, but there is a group of dense footprints among them, which rubs off many mosses.
Xin said that this group of villagers had really discovered this tomb a long time ago, and this was clearly a robbery cave.
Qin Su on the side only felt very strange, and said: "This well is obviously not like a water well, but like a mine, brother, what do you think there will be in this poor country?" ”
Luo Qiu shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said, "Not necessarily.... Not a vein .... It's something else....."
"Something else?"
Qin Su was a little stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, is this place really the place where the village chief said to rob the tomb? But this is too simple, isn't it true that the tombs of ordinary princes are all resplendent in them?
Seeing Qin Su like this, Luo Qiu couldn't help but smile in his heart, and immediately corrected: "The cemetery is not something that can be seen outside, and this is not the so-called tomb of the Central Plains royal family, but a tomb that is directly buried deep underground in the style of a foreign tomb.... Interesting, I haven't seen it, so let's go down and take a closer look. ”
As soon as Luo Qiu said this, Qin Su also nodded in agreement, he was obviously not a peaceful master, and the reason why he was very reluctant to help at the beginning when he was on the bus was more because he had a family and had a wife and children, so he naturally had more worries. Maybe because of his wife's death, he had already put life and death aside, and for this mysterious and weird thing, he was obviously very excited, which Luo Qiu could see.
Seeing this, Luo Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
But at this moment, a scorching burning sensation suddenly appeared in Luo Qiu's palm, and the long-lost pain emerged, which made Luo Qiu couldn't help but be surprised.
"This challenge, steal the blood god jade from the tomb of the county king!"
There was only a simple sentence, but in Luo Qiu's heart, it set off huge waves, and he didn't think that the ultimate goal of this challenge was this cemetery.
Thinking of this, Luo Qiu smiled even more wryly, he didn't expect that the danger he had experienced before was just an appetizing dish, and the next thing was only the main thing. Once he thought of the ghosts, landslides, and so on in front of him, it turned out to be just foreplay, Luo Qiu's brows couldn't help but wrinkle, this tomb shouldn't be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Without waiting for Luo Qiu to speak, Qin Su had already started to make torches very cooperatively, there were some oil and cloth hidden near the house, it seemed that it should have been prepared by the village chief in advance, and it seemed that there were still some left. Qin Su relied on the leftover cloth and oil wrapped around the wooden sticks to barely make a torch.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Luo Qiu stood next to this well, and he felt a gust of wind coming from below.
"I hope it's not too dangerous inside...."
After thinking that this tomb was a place that had to be visited, Luo Qiu's courage was much stronger, as for Qin Su, although he said that he had joined the army, Luo Qiu looked at him like this, and estimated that he should not be an ordinary soldier. It was really vigorous to do things, and the torches wrapped in oil were quickly done.
In order to prevent accidents, although the rest could not be made into extra torches, the remaining cloth and oil were still packed in the back basket that the village chief and others put in the corner, and Qin Su carried it directly without saying much.
After doing this, Qin Su didn't say much, so he took the lead to go down, lit torches, climbed the iron ladder, and began to move down the well.
In order to prevent accidents, Qin Su did not let Luo Qiu go down with him, but made it clear to himself that he would go down to see the situation first, and then call Luo Qiu if there was no problem.
The firelight gradually melted into the dark mine, this shaft was quite deep, and at the beginning, it could still be lit by firelight, and Qin Su's figure could be seen clearly, and the later it was, the figure could not be seen clearly, and only a dim halo could be seen.
The faint halo of light was particularly weak in the darkness, as if it would be swallowed up at any time, and those who watched it always felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, Qin Su seemed to have reached the end, and the light source paused in the darkness, suddenly becoming smaller and smaller, and then disappeared suddenly!
Hey?
What's going on!
Luo Qiu was nervously waiting for Qin Su's feedback, but as soon as the fire was extinguished, it was really shocking that some souls flew out of the sky, at this moment, Luo Qiu even made up the scene of Qin Su being attacked by the monsters in the tomb below, or could it be the village chief? I couldn't help shouting at the wellhead: "Brother Qin! What's going on! How are you! ”
After shouting the first time, no one responded, and when the second shout, the firelight that had suddenly disappeared reappeared, and then I heard Brother Qin shouting below: "There is no danger, come down!" ”
Seeing this, Luo Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help muttering: "This guy is too scary." ”
However, hearing Brother Qin shouting below, Luo Qiu didn't dare to delay for too long, so he turned over and went down, because there was only one torch, so Luo Qiu had almost no other weight on his body at this time.
The further down it goes, the cooler it seems to become, and the air appears extremely humid and cold.
When I got to the bottom of the well, there was no water below, but it was very dry, and the soil on the ground was very strong, probably because it was frequented by the village chief and others, and the whole ground seemed very solid.
The light of a torch is limited, but there is nothing to be done at this time, although Luo Qiu has a lighter on his body, but a small lighter here can play a little role, and the lighting time is also very limited.
When Luo Qiu walked to Qin Su's side, the visual range instantly became larger, and at this time, he realized that there was actually another place at the bottom of this well, and there was a huge cave below, and he couldn't see the front and back.
The position where Luo Qiu and Qin Su are located, above their heads is the wellhead, but if you take a few steps to the side and walk out of the range of the wellhead, there is a rock layer above your head.
Seeing this, Luo Qiu immediately understood, and said, "The sudden disappearance of the firelight just now was because Brother Qin, you walked away, right?" ”
Qin Su didn't feel anything, but then nodded and said, "I heard your cry and hurried back, but I didn't expect that there was such a place under this well, and I was a little curious for a while. ”
It was pitch black, and there was no end in sight, and I didn't know how big the cave was, and where the entrance to the tomb was.
"Brother Qin, this place is so dark, there is a high chance, we will meet with the village chief, Brother Qin, what do you think we should do now?"
Qin Su should have had a wealth of knowledge of survival in the wilderness and said: "We carry torches, and they also carry torches, in such a dark place, no one dares to extinguish or give up the torches." And their torches are large and the light is strong, so naturally their perception of faint fire light will also be weakened, so when our two teams meet, we must find them first, let's not separate, let's explore the situation of this place first. Qin Su's words were quite correct, and besides, Luo Qiu didn't have any torches on his body, so he could only gather together immediately, holding torches and starting to explore the cave under the mine.
