Chapter 35: The Hanging Coffin

"Go in, only the owner of the dragon's tooth can go in, and we will send someone to guard here. After the priest finished speaking, he looked at the necklace on the wood's chest, and led the three elders and Cuicui away.

"Ahh "On this big night, Mu looked at the torch in his hand and thought to himself that he would at least get a flashlight for him...... Also, isn't she going to be tortured? Did the priest forget? No, could it be that she was just a paper tiger to scare me?

I heard that I was looking for a big wolf dog, and I had already prepared the bait, a large piece of fragrant bones (coaxed from a little fat man of the Miao nationality, and the process of abduction will not be revealed...... He tied the bones to the sticks with vines and made them look like fishing rods, and swaggered into the forbidden land. Cuicui looked back and saw the funny appearance of the wood, covered her mouth and tried not to laugh, but she still laughed, and the priest glared at Cuicui sternly.

By the light of the torches, you can still see the stone walls on both sides of the sky, and as you walk, the firelight will not touch the stone walls - the canyon is getting wider and wider. "Could it be that the terrain here is hourglass-shaped?" said Wood to himself. "Hourglass, leaky, ......" echoes in the canyon almost startled him.

The bones on the "dog pole" are dangling, the fire is bright and dark, coupled with the cold at the bottom of the valley and the whistling breeze, the atmosphere is creepy.

"Isn't it just a dog, are you in such a hurry to find it at night?" Wood muttered in his heart, strange that they hadn't mentioned any holy relics along the way, and Wood didn't think much about it.

After 100 meters, the stone wall does not seem to continue to widen, it is not very irregular, some places are four or five meters wide, some places are seven or eight meters wide, and the height is nearly 100 meters.

The wood groped its way along the stone wall on one side, and suddenly his hands were empty, and he didn't touch anything. The canyon was silent except for a light wind, and he heard his own heartbeat and breathing, took a deep breath of cold air, calmed himself, and shone the empty place with a torch. It is a stone chamber less than two meters long and less than one meter wide and high, with many chisel marks, it seems that it is not finished, I don't know what it is used for, it is a bit like a grotto, but there is nothing in it.

At this time, the light of the fire dimmed, and Wood, thinking that the torch was about to be extinguished, looked up and saw that a full moon had risen directly above the canyon, illuminating the valley floor. By the light of the moon, it is incredible that the stone walls on both sides are full of such grottoes. There are many holes under the stone wall, and the higher you go, the fewer there are, and there are only three on the top, presumably because the difficulty of digging increases with the height.

The moonlight lifted the veil of the Black Dragon Gorge, and only the sound of a pounding heartbeat could be heard, and the subconscious of the human mind made the wood dare not make a sound, as if it was afraid of waking up the sleeping things in these caves. However, the quieter it became, the more sultry the mystery of the forbidden place became, and Wood soon realized that he had to enter these horrible grottoes to find him, if he couldn't figure out where the big wolfdog was hiding and falling asleep.

After inspecting the dozen or so grottoes below, they were all empty, and the wood crept up to the upper floor. Wood found a place to stay, then reached out and placed the torch in the upper grotto, and climbed in. The grotto was so low that he could only look into it with his waist bent, and he picked up a torch and looked inside, facing him was a wooden coffin. The grotto is about three meters deep, and the wooden coffin lies in the innermost part, which is very simple, with stones underneath. He was not in the mood to open the coffin to see that the big wolf dog could not open it, lie down in it, and close it again, the funny image only flashed in his mind.

There were many vines hanging from the stone wall, and he decided to look any higher, so he tied a torch to the vines, and by the moonlight of the night, climbed to the grotto above, and then pulled the torch up. In this way, after looking at more grottoes, there are also wooden coffins of the same style, and then I realized that this is also a cemetery, and these simple wooden coffins are hanging coffins.

There are at least hundreds of grottoes here, it is not a way to find it like this, the efficiency is too low, and the physical strength of the wood is also a little exhausted, he has not eaten since entering the Miao Village, and his stomach began to growl with hunger.

After resting for a while, thinking that Lao Wang was still waiting for him, and it would be okay to be hungry for a while. There was no dog flute, so Mu decided to wait for the rabbit, and the big wolf dog would definitely smell the bones when he was hungry, "Aren't you hungry big wolf dog? Accustomed to the silence and darkness of the place, as if there was no danger, the wood shouted loudly. He sat on the edge of a grotto near the top, holding a "dog rod", fishing for a big wolf dog in the canyon, and making a "tsk" sound in his mouth.

By the way, making a sound may lead it out, the wood first held his hands together, and blew up the stone that he had used to make a code since he was a child, but his lungs were blown up, and there was no dog shadow, so he had to keep knocking on the stone wall with a torch.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear some cricket sucking sounds, like the sound of rubbing, coming from the three highest grottoes.

Cuicui outside the canyon heard the sound of the wood blowing, and folded her hands with a worried expression, "I hope he's okay." And the priest remained expressionless.
