Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Something Strange
"Look at your serious appearance, lie to you, when I came here that year, grandpa didn't let me go down. So I don't know what's in there. Venster laughed, a look of underbearing.
So that's it, kid. I said, how can this pit lead to that burial chamber? If it really does, Venster will tell us when it comes down to it, why wait until now?
After walking a little further, we could already see the roof of the Yin-Yang Inn. It's just that the Yin-Yang Inn, which was supposed to be brightly lit, was only lonely with a few horse lamps on the eaves at this time. When you walk in, the door of the inn is closed.
"Boss? Boss? Venster stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response from behind it. Venster didn't give up, and knocked a few more times. As before, there was still no response......
"Is there anyone in here?" Boss Ye waited a little impatiently, rushed up and slammed the door a few times, "Hey, is there anyone, it's business!" ”
Boss Ye knocked hard every time, but he didn't call the owner of the inn, but smashed the door open.
We were all stunned for a moment......
Boss Ye also stood in place embarrassedly, and then turned around, looking embarrassed: "I didn't expect this door to be so unstrong......
Forget it, since it's all open, you can't close him anymore, right? We had to walk in......
It was pitch black in the hall, and I felt for the light behind the door from memory. finally touched the switch, and at the moment when the light was turned on, the people behind him suddenly exclaimed.
I was a little strange, when I turned around, I saw a person hanging on the chandelier in the hall, it was the boss! I thought I had seen it wrong, and after rubbing my eyes a few times, I saw that the boss was really hanging on the chandelier, his eyes were wide open, his face was pale, and he had an expression of disbelief.
He's apparently been dead for a while......
Just when we were stunned, Ah Cheng and Yuan An worked together to put the boss down from the chandelier.
As I thought, this boss has been dead for a while. Ah Cheng speculated that he died shortly after we left, and the cause of death was strangled from behind, because in addition to the traces of the hanging rope on his neck, there was also a strangulation mark that did not coincide with it.
"When we left, was there anyone else living in this inn?" I muttered to myself and began to remember.
All I remember was that the inn was brightly lit and almost every room was lit up. But at that time, it seemed that there was no one else but the boss and us. At least, I didn't see anyone else.
At this moment, Ah Cheng suddenly put his hand on the boss's face and groped.
"What are you going to do?" As soon as I opened my mouth, I saw Ah Cheng facing a place, scraping gently, and then pulling the upturned thing and pulling hard. A camouflage mask was pulled down. And underneath the mask, is a familiar face.
It turned out to be a yin guest!
I was instantly stunned: "What's the matter, didn't this guy take the coffin away?" Why are people still here? ”
In the next second, I remembered that the appearance of the Yin people was the same, and it might be other Yin people.
After Ah Cheng took off the mask of the Yin Manke, he rolled up the sleeve of the Yin Renke again, and when it was rolled up to the elbow, a shocking wound was exposed.
"Ah Hao, Boss Ye, do you remember when we were in the snake girl tomb below, we met a Yin Man guest?" Ah Cheng stared at the knife wound and asked about us.
But before we could answer, he suddenly drew the sword from his back and gestured at the wound, and I saw that the shape of the blade and the shape of the wound basically matched. At the same time, Ah Cheng said: "This is the ...... I injured him at that time"
No wonder, when we came in, the boss used his left hand to serve us tea and pour water, it turned out to be like this!
At the same time, it was also determined that the dead yin guest in front of us was the guy who dealt with us the most!
"Well, that's all there is to the corpse, there is no other clue. I've also checked each pocket, it's empty......" Ah Cheng said and put away the knife and stood up, "Old man, do you have any inferences?" ”
Old Man Wen, who had been looking at the corpse, slowly shook his head: "No, I thought that after finding the boss, our people would be able to be saved, and if it was none of our business to save people, we wouldn't interfere." But now it looks like it's starting to get complicated. ”
"What's complicated, old man, you take us to the pothole, why don't we stuff a few bombs into it and blow those guys out." Boss Ye said with a disdainful expression.
"The cave is at the back of this inn." After Old Man Wen said this, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the back room, "You come with me." ”
After leading us through a corridor, Mr. Wen came to a door. The door was hidden, and there was a chill behind the door. Old Man Kewen didn't care, opened the door directly, and walked in.
door, connected to a cave......
Old Man Wen took out a lighter and lit it a few times in a place on the stone wall. Suddenly, the oil lamps on the stone wall were lit one after another.
The cave is not deep, and we can see the end from here. And at the end, there is a big hole in the ground.
We didn't say anything more, but walked straight to the edge of the cave, and four or five flashlights shone into the hole.
Boss Ye sighed and couldn't help complaining: "Come on, I just came out of the sea on the other side, and this will go down again." Baixiao
Seeing this, Ah Cheng and Yuan An took out the rope from their bags and wanted to find a place to put up the rope. was stopped by Old Man Wen: "This hole is not just going in and out casually, it's not time yet." ”
"And when can I go down?" Ah Cheng stopped what he was doing and looked at Old Man Wen.
"Do you have a bronze mirror for moving mountains?" Old Man Wen asked.
Venster didn't answer, but looked at me. That's when I remembered that the Bronze Mirror was in my bag.
So, I hurriedly took out the bronze mirror from my bag and handed it to Mr. Wen.
Old Man Wen used the bronze mirror to be very skillful, and after a while, there was a picture in the mirror.
But it seems to be due to the light. The picture in the mirror is not clear. You can barely see a stone door on the picture, the stone door is closed, and there seems to be some patterns engraved on it......
But soon, all of a sudden, the mirror was completely darkened. At the last moment of the picture, the mirror suddenly lit up, and a human face flashed out, and then, the bronze mirror exploded with a "bang".
The fragments of the bronze mirror fell to the ground, and some of the broken fragments even scratched Old Man Wen's hand.
Seeing this, Venster wanted to help Old Man Wen's hand deal with it, but was stopped by Old Man Wen.
Old Man Wen sighed, flicked the broken bronze mirror on the ground with his foot and said: "It's the same as that time, it doesn't matter, there are some places that can't be seen by the bronze mirror, it's good if it's broken, otherwise it will be ruined." ”
When Mr. Wen said this, I was thinking about the face that appeared at the end of the picture just now.
If I'm not mistaken, it looks like a woman's face......
Thinking like this, I asked Boss Ye next to me, "Did you see the picture just now?" Is there a woman's face at the end? ”
Boss Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at me with a strange expression: "It was so dark just now, I saw a stone gate, where did the woman's face come from?"
"Didn't it light up a little at the end, didn't you see?" Now it was my turn to be surprised. I then asked the others again, and the answer I got was exactly the same as what Boss Ye said.
I had to think I was dazzled.
On the side, Old Man Wen didn't say much, just asked about the time, and then thought about it. About half a minute later, Old Man Wen said lightly: "It's not much worse, it should be okay to go down now." ”
So, Ah Cheng and Yuan An began to set up ropes......
During this period, Old Man Wen talked about the reason why this cave had to be timed: "Isn't this cave said to lead to another world, and only a group of Yin people enter and exit from here." At that time, the boss told me that I had to go around the third watch or the fifth watch to avoid the ghost road. Of course, I didn't go down at the time, but when I was laying out, the boss said ......"
This makes it clear, that is, this pit is a ghost gate. Aren't these yin people just ghosts?
I told Mr. Wen about this. Old Man Wen didn't say anything, just nodded slightly: "I may have dealt with Yin Renke less often than yours, so I don't know what the origin of these people is, and I'll know after I go down." ”
is also said, according to the previous statement, the place under this cave should be their home, or some kind of stronghold.
At this time, Ah Cheng and Yuan An also hung the rope down. After Yuan An tested the sturdiness, he was the first to climb down the rope. Then came Ah Cheng, Boss Ye, and then me and Venster.
Although Mr. Wen is older, his skills are very good. Climb up the rope and be no worse than us......
The hole is not deep, and I estimate that it is less than ten meters. There is no cumbersome road at the bottom of the cave, only a slightly downward passage.
We went straight into the passageway.
It went surprisingly well, and we only walked for a few minutes before we reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage was the stone door reflected in the bronze mirror, but at this moment the stone door was not closed, but half-hidden.
The pattern on the stone door glows a strange blood-red color under the flashlight, as if to say that this door is not to be entered......
Venster suddenly muttered: "Ah Hao, this pattern, it seems to be the pattern on that seal?" ”
"What seal?" I didn't understand what Venster was referring to.
"Kyanite glass box, the seal inside ......," Venster said word by word.
Hearing this, I hurriedly took out the seal from my backpack and compared it with the stone door......
"It's the same pattern!" I was surprised.
As soon as I finished speaking, the stone door suddenly opened......
