Chapter 14: The Ancient Tomb

The cave in front of me was about one meter three high, no more than two feet wide, and it was close enough for one person to pass through, so I had to let Jing Jing pull the back of my little jacket and slowly move inside.

In the cave, I took out the flashlight I took from Jingjing's house, installed three No. 1 batteries, and slapped the flashlight a few times before emitting a beam, which was slightly bumpy and did not light up.

"Sister Jing'er, your flashlight has become an antique, and it is too unreliable to go out from time to time." To ease the tension, I jokingly made a few jokes.

"Sister Qingnan, I bought this flashlight when I was a teenager, and I used it to touch it, and I have been using it for five or six years." Quietly listening to my tone, I slowly calmed down.

Ahead, several powerful flashlights also lit up, it seems that it is the military flashlight that Zheng Guodong and they are carrying, which is many times stronger than the one in my hand.

As I walked forward, I noticed that the road was slowly sloping downward, and the cave was opening up, much larger than when I first entered.

Except for the place where the flashlight shines, the rest of the place is completely dark. Walking in it, I can't help but feel a little oppressive. And the wind blowing from time to time in the confined space, combined with the dim and quiet environment around me, made my heart start to beat rapidly.

After groping and walking for half an hour, I estimated that I had gone dozens of meters deep into the ground, and the road was still tilting, it seemed that the scale of this ancient tomb was not small, and the owner buried in it must have a great background.

Although the cave was gloomy and dark, fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, which also made my hanging heart gradually return to calm.

Suddenly, a terrifying white face appeared in front of my eyes, and the two white miserable eyes were so terrifying under the light that I almost fell to the ground in fright. After I saw clearly that it was the ghost Li Chunlan, I patted my throbbing chest and scolded angrily: "Li Chunlan, didn't you scare me with pure heart?" Today your blood food is gone, and if you are so elusive, you will definitely be severely punished! ”

"Quack, woo lala......" Li Chunlan listened to my words with a look of grievance, said a series of ghost words, and gestured with her fingers, so that I understood that the road ahead was cut off.

"Uncle Zheng, the house ghost told me that there is no road ahead." I hurriedly shouted to the front, but the empty echo startled me.

"Got it, I've gone to the end, Xiao Zhao, come and have a look." Zheng Guodong's words came back from the front.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of walking, I saw that the cave in front of me was blocked by a stone door, and there was no bifurcated hole around me.

"Could it be that this door is the dragonstone of the tomb?" I crossed over Zheng Guodong, reached out and stroked the cold stone door, and muttered.

"Sister Qingnan, this... What can I do about this?! Quietly speaking in a crying tone, he hurriedly asked me.

"Uncle Zheng, you all grope around to see if there are any buttons or something."

I thought for a moment, talked to Zheng Guodong, and also shone a flashlight at the wall, and glanced at it carefully, all of them were traces of artificial excavation after rammed earth was pressed, and the rammed earth was as hard as a stone wall after being crushed, and it was cold to the touch with my hands, and there were no buttons on the wall.

Could it be that the route recorded in Grandma's notes is wrong? I couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Captain, there is a wind blowing through the crack of the door, and this door doesn't seem to be a whole!" Xiaojing's voice came from the door, attracting us all to look over.

I also carefully looked at the stone door for a while, and finally found the clue, this door is actually open, there is a faint gap in the middle, if it is not for my face close, there is a trace of yin wind blowing from the gap, I really can't find it.

Zheng Guodong stretched out his hands, exhaled loudly, and pushed the door, but the stone door only shook slightly. He immediately said to the Xuanmen policeman behind him: "Come and help, this stone gate is too heavy!" ”

Under the joint push of everyone, the stone gate made a low friction sound, and bursts of dust poured down.

Ga... Crunch... Creak......

The stone door on the left was finally pushed open a little way, and when they could pass through it sideways, everyone let go of their hands.

At the moment when the stone door was opened, a fierce wind blew out, and I shivered again and again, as if I had suddenly walked into the cold storage in the summer.

As soon as I stepped inside, the first thing I saw was a huge stone monument erected in front of the wide passage. And Zheng Guodong was full of shock, standing in place.

I saw that this huge stele was completely black, about three meters high, carved with many strange and incomprehensible ornaments, and the middle line of seal characters written with vermilion pigment was particularly eye-catching under the symmetry of the black stone.

"The coffin of the white tiger, the hundred generals protect the tomb, disturb my peace, and if you enter it, you will die!"

I have studied this kind of seal, passed on its physics, and applied it endlessly. It seems to be a small seal of a small country during the Warring States Period, and it took me a long time to understand the content on it.

"It's actually the small seal of Wei during the Warring States Period!" Zheng Guodong came back to his senses and muttered his opinion.

Looking at the blood-like vermilion seal on the black lacquer stele, I felt as if I had walked into the Netherworld, and a chill rose from the bottom of my heart, making my hairs explode.

At the same time, Jing Jing, who was timid by nature, also hurriedly hugged my arm and begged, "Sister Qingnan, I... Let's go back, this stele is so horrible, I'm so scared! ”

"Go back? There is no way out, there are 100,000 Yin soldiers outside, even if you stay in Zhangzhai, you will be assimilated into a yin corpse, except here, there is no way to live at all! ”

After I finished speaking, I took Jing Jing's hand, bypassed the stone tablet with vermilion seal characters, and an open space appeared in front of me, and at the end of this open space, it was abruptly cut off by a bottomless cliff!

I looked down the cliff by the light of the flashlight, and I couldn't detect the bottom of the cliff at all, and the cliff under my feet was smooth and flat as a whole, almost impossible for people to climb down along the way, five or six meters wide cliffs, no pontoon bridge is undoubtedly a dead end!

After looking around, I muttered: "It's really weird, the ancients have always believed in the afterlife, and after the mausoleum is completed, there will definitely be a way to live, otherwise how can the feng shui situation of the tomb be formed?" ”

"Uncle Zheng, don't be idle, let's explore around to see if there are any mechanism buttons on the walls around us, this will definitely not be a dead end, otherwise grandma will not record that this place can lead to the outside world!"

Saying hello to Zheng Guodong, I took a flashlight and groped along the wall little by little.

After a while, I don't know who shouted, and then a dull sound came out, and I was so frightened that I quickly pulled and hid quietly behind the ghost, thinking that the whole passage was about to collapse.

Thundered......

A dull sound, echoing through the gloomy, cold tomb.

After the sound, nothing terrible happened. The opposite wall slowly cracked left and right, and the spacious hole was like a cracked monster mouth, and a yin wind blew out from it, cold, biting, and cold all over the body.

The yin wind blew across both sides of the wall, and suddenly lit up an oil lamp, showing a green light, which was particularly weird and terrifying.

By the light of the oil lamps, I found that the entire corridor was made of bluestone, and the walls were carved with dense patterns, with inscriptions, seals, and some special symbols, but none of the characters I could recognize.

"Be careful, who was so reckless just now and pressed the button without saying hello?" Zheng Guodong looked at his subordinates reproachfully.

"Team... Captain, I didn't mean to, I was pushed by Xiao Wang at that time, and I pressed it on the wall casually, who knew that it was to open the mechanism here. I was wrong, ask the captain to punish me! A young police officer stood up and reported what had just happened.

"Okay, what a big man, and so frizzy! Cheer up, coming here is not a playhouse, and it is possible to lose your life here! Xiao Zhao, let the powerful ghosts you raise go and explore the way. ”

Zheng Guodong reprimanded his subordinates a few times, and then looked at me again.

"Li Chunlan, if there is anything abnormal ahead, come and report to me as soon as you find out, don't fall in love with the war, go!" I gave a few words, and let the house ghost go ahead.

After a while, the house ghost floated out of the corridor, and I understood her gestures, and there was no danger inside.

Zheng Guodong walked in first, and as soon as I walked into this corridor in the back, I felt a strong depression in my heart, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at me all the time.

As the group continued to move forward, I found that the road had been sloping downward, not only secretly. Together with the previous distance, we have already walked about five kilometers, and the slope is about 100 meters deep underground.

"Captain, there is no road ahead, it is cut off by a river, what can I do?" There was a noise ahead, and I eagerly ran ahead to see what was going on.

After a while, I came to Zheng Guodong's side and saw a river about ten meters wide cutting off the entire road in front of me, and Zheng Guodong and his party all looked at the surrounding walls with a worried face.

With the bright lights shining on the river, I looked towards the river. After seeing it clearly, my expression changed drastically, the water was black and inky, and the strong light could not shine at all, and it looked like an abyss from a distance.

"This ...... Is this the Netherworld Yellow Spring? I recognized it for a moment, and I couldn't help but exclaim.

"Netherworld Springs? Xiao Zhao, can you talk about it carefully? Zheng Guodong was also taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"The netherworld is called the underworld in the mouth of the people in the yang world, it is the place where the ghosts live, and this netherworld yellow spring water is said to be the river across the two worlds of yin and yang, according to legend, the netherworld yellow spring is bottomless, there were many legends in ancient times, the yellow spring water color is like black ink, can not be carried, people and animals step into the no. Isn't the river in front of you exactly black ink? ”

"So wicked? Xiao Zhao: Where did you learn about this knowledge? Zheng Guodong looked stunned. The rest of the Xuanmen policemen were all in disbelief.

"What? Don't believe me, Uncle Zheng, borrow the pipe in your hand. "When I saw that all the people didn't believe what I said, not only did I feel angry in my heart, but this Netherworld Yellow Spring Water was of great benefit to those who practiced the ghost path, and it was recorded many times in my grandmother's books.

"Ahh Xiao Zhao, this weapon is not a tube, but a unique standard weapon of my Xuanmen police, called the soul extinguishing gun, the front tube poke is extremely sharp, it is forged from the latest alloy development, after penetrating the body, just press the button at the handshake, and there is a special potion sprayed out of the tube, which has some powerful effects on ghosts and corpses. Zheng Guodong introduced the use of the weapon, showed it again, looked proud, and finally handed it to me.
