The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 45 The Hanging Tomb

When they returned to the tent, supper had already been set up, and as if nothing had happened to them, they laughed and talked quietly, ate their meals from time to time, and praised the supper cooks for their skill.

After dinner, Chen Fangyuan ordered everyone to rest early, saying that he would go to the tomb early tomorrow morning, and strive to find the tortoise shell as soon as possible and then go back early.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next morning, Qiu Yan woke me up and secretly stuffed me with a packet of medicine, "Today is the third day, drink the medicine, just in case." ”

After drinking the medicine and washing up briefly, we joined the team to put on the gear.

For breakfast, I ate last night's leftover mutton soup, plus bread, and during breakfast, Chen Fangyuan made a simple arrangement.

The injured brother and the interpreter stayed, and the rest of the people, including Qiu Yan, all went to the grave, carrying the same lot of equipment, and those who should have guns still had to bring guns.

In this way, after everyone finished breakfast, they didn't need to be specially ordered, so they walked towards the underground entrance in groups of three.

Entering this muddy passage again, I was a little nervous, and the scene of escaping from here the day before yesterday flashed in my mind from time to time, although Chen Fangyuan and they repeatedly confirmed that those zombies did not come back to life, but I was always worried that if I entered it, I would see sixteen living statues.

Qiu Yan was in front of me, she was small, but she was flexible in the passage, looking at her writhing circle. The shapely ass also relieved some of my tension somewhat.

Maybe I was familiar with the road, but I felt that it didn't take long for me to get out of the passage, and when I came out, I saw several people lying at the mouth of the hole and poking their heads inside.

"Brother He, come and see, these statues are really not moving!" As soon as they saw me come out, the men pulled me to the entrance of the cave and pointed at me in the hall.

I stretched out my head to take a look, and sure enough, I saw that those statues were still standing where I left the day before yesterday, and there were some footprints under their feet, which were human footprints, probably left by Chen Fangyuan and them yesterday.

After a while, Chen Fangyuan and several other old men in the back crawled out of the passage one after another, and after coming out, they sat on the ground and rested for a while, and then Chen Fangyuan ordered: "Okay, let's go separate according to yesterday's established policy!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Laodao took the lead in entering the hall.

Although when discussing the plan yesterday, everyone's opinions were only divided into two categories, but in fact, several people still went their own way, Luo Laodao was still squatting next to his gossip map, talking about the formation with Old Man Guo, while Chen Fangyuan, Old Man Li and Professor Ouyang each took a sapper shovel, knocking here and there to see, Mr. Bi stood in the middle of the hall, looking at the hall in circles, while Qiu Yan and I were observing next to those statues, and the rest of the people were divided into several groups, holding guns and guarding next to several old men.

If you want to say that among these old men, Luo Lao Dao is the best at tossing, I saw him and Old Man Guo discuss a few words, and then opened his bag and took out a lot of things from it, among these things, there are peach wood swords, sandalwood, rune paper, and dust, and so on.

Luo Laodao put these things on the ground and placed them neatly one by one, and then he took out a few incense sticks, and inserted three clusters on the ground for every three sticks, and then, he raised the peachwood sword to his brow, and put the other one into a sword finger in front of his mouth, and then hummed and chanted.

Qiu Yan and I had never seen this kind of posture, and for a moment our attention was attracted to the past, and we wanted to know what this old Taoist priest wanted to do.

Luo Laodao recited for about a minute before stopping, and after stopping, I saw him kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times, and then counted out more than a dozen pieces from a pile of rune papers.

Then, I saw Luo Laodao stand up from the ground, he put the more than ten pieces of rune paper in a fan shape in his hand, and held the peach wood sword for a long time, and then, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the sentence "Hurry like a law" was drunk in the hall like thunder, and then he threw out the rune paper in his hand.

This time, the rune paper did not burn, nor was it thrown out like a stone like last time, but floated slowly in the air.

I thought that Luo Laodao's trick was nothing, but after a closer look, I found that those rune papers could change direction in the process of fluttering, and the movement trajectory of each rune paper was different, as if these rune papers had become alive one by one, they were finding their own foothold, and then I found that the three clusters of incense inserted next to Luo Laodao didn't know when they were lit.

I looked at the runes in a daze, trying to see where they ended up, but after a while, I saw them fall straight down the air as if they had suddenly lost their lives.

I didn't know why, I immediately looked at Luo Laodao, only to see him shaking his head at Old Man Guo, his face was full of disappointment, and then the two of them returned to the gossip map and continued to discuss.

"This is the tracing technique, Lao Luo's special skill, he can find anything with life or spiritual power." Mr. Bi didn't know when he came over, and his cold explanation startled Qiu Yan and me.

"Spiritual power?" Qiu Yan asked.

"Hehe, this is Lao Luo's statement, you can understand spiritual power as a remnant soul."

"Then if these talismans fell, does it mean that he didn't find the soul?" I asked.

Mr. Bi shook his head, "No, if there are no souls, his talismans can't fly at all, these talismans fly up first, and then fall, which means that there are too many souls left here, and Lao Luo can't tell how these souls are distributed." ”

Mr. Bi's explanation coincides with what I saw in the dark world before, if the white lines and human forms I see are souls, then this hall is indeed full of remnants of souls.

"What about you? You don't see anything? I asked.

"No, I use Gu, and I don't have their expertise in these yin and yang gossip and the like."

After Mr. Bi finished speaking, he looked at Luo Laodao and them for a while, then looked back at me and asked, "What about you, did you think of anything from Batumu?" ”

From the moment I entered the hall to the present, at the beginning, I focused on those statues, I was always afraid that these statues would suddenly wake up, and later, my attention was attracted by Luo Laodao, and I didn't think about the tortoise shell at all.

"Hehe, I haven't had time to think about it, besides, isn't it you? It doesn't matter if I want to or not! ”

Mr. Bi was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a "jingling" sound, we looked at the source of the sound, and found that it was Chen Fangyuan and a few people who made the sound.

We hurriedly walked over and asked them what they were doing, only to see Old Man Li and Chen Fangyuan each put their shovels into the crack of the floor under their feet, and replied while prying hard: "Dig it up and see if there's anything down here!" ”

I looked around and saw that my eyes were full of stones and slabs, and I thought to myself, although this is a bit stupid, but it is a good idea, and who knows what is hidden behind these stones?

So I took the shovel from Chen Fangyuan's hand, motioned for him to step aside, and then worked with Old Man Li to pry it up.

Seeing this, a brother with a gun over there also took the shovel in Old Man Li's hand, and followed, and another brother also took the shovel in Professor Ouyang's hand and joined in.

The three of us worked hard to finally pry out the slate a little, and Old Man Li quickly took out a short steel drill from his bag and inserted it into the gap we pried out.

"Come, come on, lift this slate and see what's underneath!" Chen Fangyuan commanded.

In fact, after prying for so long, I can tell from the feel that this is a slate, it is clearly a big stone, but the surface part has been bulldozed.

I let go of my shovel and stepped aside, giving up my spot to another brother who had taken over.

After a long time of prying, the whole stone slab was finally loosened, but at the moment when the stone was loosened, the whole hall shook, and the shaking was accompanied by a dull friction sound, like a beast roaring.

Everyone was stunned by the movement, and everyone stayed in place, holding a fixed position, and at first glance we looked like the statues that were fixed.

At this time, because we were all wearing thick jumpsuits, and we were wrapped from head to toe, we could not feel the flow and temperature of the air in the hall, but I could clearly see that the strap of the backpack that one brother had placed next to the gap in the stone slab because of his burdensomeness was being blown by a gust of wind, and this wind seemed to be blowing through the gap in the stone slab.

"Look, there's wind down there!" I pointed to the gap and shouted.

When everyone heard the sound, they immediately looked at the gap, and even Luo Laodao and Old Man Guo over there ran over.

"Haha, I'll just say, how can there be any formation, or our method works!" Old man Li laughed.

There was a lot of talk about it, and they all thought that the real burial chamber had been dug up, and even I was a little surprised.

Old man Li called two people, walked to the gap and continued to pry, just when the stone slab was about to be pried out, there was another tremor in the hall, followed by the floor of the hall suddenly fell down, bringing all of us down, and the stone slab that was almost pried out suddenly sank down at the moment when the floor of the hall fell, and then, a hole with a red light appeared in the position of the stone slab.

Everyone was lying on the ground holding their heads, only Mr. Bi and I found the hole, I quickly got up and wanted to go over to take a look, but found that the floor under my feet seemed to be soft and shaky.

I ignored this, and ran over in two big strides, and saw that there was an abyss under the hole, and at the end of the abyss there was a fiery red light, because there was a mist underneath, and I couldn't see what those fiery red things were, but I could feel a hot wind fluttering from below through the mask.

Not only that, but I looked around the cave and saw that the entire hall floor was covered with an abyss, as if the hall was the whole overhead on this abyss.

Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

At this moment a scream broke the silence of death in the hall, and woke me up, and I looked in the direction from which the sound had come from, and saw a brother with his hands firmly on the floor, and one head on the floor screaming for help, as if he had most of his body buried under the floor.

I reacted immediately, and eighty percent of the floor over there had also fallen.

The man next to him ran over and pulled him up, and then I saw them standing still, staring motionless at the bottom of the floor.

"Don't move, everyone, the whole hall is in the air!" I hurriedly shouted.
