Chapter 14: The Stone Gate of Poisonous Insects
"Damn it!" I cursed in a low voice, but this thing kept playing tricks on me.
I was sure it was dirty, so I grabbed the rope and spun around as it rushed at me behind my back, trying to tie it to me with the rope!
Just as I was spinning around, I heard a squeaky and then a fleshy thing was tied up on my body! I felt sick at once, but I held back.
The thing was behind me, I gritted my teeth, pulled the rope hard, and soon, I heard the footsteps of Zhao Zhiqiang and Ma Xu from the tomb, and they quickly found me.
"Little brother, ...... you" I saw Ma Xu and them coming over, but their expressions were very weird.
I twisted my eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" Not yet! ”
It was the black jacket that reacted quickly, and the black jacket barely reacted at all, and ran straight for me.
The black jacket pulled a knife out of his boot and walked towards me, and I was puzzled when I heard him smack twice, and then there was an animal wail behind me, and then my rope was untied by the black jacket.
I quickly turned around and saw a yellow, hairy thing lying on the ground, bleeding from its leg.
It's a weasel. I could tell at a glance that it was this thing doing the trick.
"I didn't expect it to be doing the trick." I sighed, then cast a grateful glance at the black jacket.
The black jacket glanced at me, then stared at the weasel fiercely, and scolded fiercely: "Picking off one of your hamstrings today is a lesson for you, don't provoke us in the future!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the weasel got up, limped away, and soon disappeared at the end of the graveyard.
"It's really evil, it turned out to be a weasel." Ma Xu followed up and said like an afterthought.
Zhao Zhiqiang also limped up, then patted me on the shoulder and asked, "Little brother, are you okay, I saw just now that an old lady was tied up behind me by you, and Ma Xu and I were stupid." ”
"Old lady? It looks like you're obsessed with weasels. "I immediately understood what was going on, and they all said that this weasel was very spiritual, and it seemed that the weasel who cultivated in this tomb had become a refiner.
I patted the stench left by the weasel on my body and frowned in disgust.
"Let's go, we still have important things to do." I took a look at them, and my main purpose here was to protect the black jacket, but also for the treasures in the cemetery, because only by doing these two things well could I get the money. Outside, my father is still waiting for my money to be cured.
When I think of my father, I can't help but feel a trace of melancholy on my face.
Probably guessing what I was thinking, the black jacket walked up, patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, "It's okay, I can get out alive, if the benefits are good this time, I can give you some more money." ”
I quickly put away the look on my face and nodded faintly.
Here, I have to put away any distractions, otherwise let alone money, I'm afraid I will easily die here to bury the owner of the tomb, I don't want to, I still have my father and sister.
With this belief, I firmly believe that this trip to the tomb will definitely lead to a complete victory.
Soon, I and the black jacket came to the door of the dungeon, the gate of the dungeon looks very grand, like an underground castle, and there is a plaque hanging on the towering gate, which reads four big words: "Heaven, earth, man and god." ”
The two pillars are carved dragons and phoenixes, and there are several gems inlaid on them, which sparkle in the deep and dark tomb. Two large stone doors, which look thick and heavy.
Ma Xu stepped forward a little greedily and touched the gems on the stone pillar, and said with a smile: "I finally saw the baby, this trip is not in vain." Ma Xu said, and gently wiped the gems with his sleeve.
The black jacket twisted his eyebrows a little unhappily, this Ma Xu is always so uncontrollable.
"Don't move the things here, be careful of losing your life!" The black jacket has been to many tombs, and he knows that the things on the gate of the underground palace cannot be moved casually, and there is not necessarily a mechanism on anything, and he can kill the tomb at any time.
When the black jacket said this, Ma Xu withdrew his hand a little unwillingly.
The black jacket looked at me for a long time, looked back at me, and asked in a humble voice, "Little brother, do you see something?" "He was polite and more like he was asking me for advice.
I approached the stone gate and looked at it, the carvings on it were still in the style of the Western Han Dynasty, and I immediately began to doubt the initial judgment, could this really be the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty?
I stretched out my hand and gently touched the stone door, the stone door was very thick, the pattern on it was written in small seal script, and the white marble used looked very exquisite, but I always felt that something was strange.
It was at this moment that I suddenly felt a tingling sensation coming from the palm of my hand.
"Shhh I couldn't help but snort, and then quickly withdrew my hand to take a look.
I only saw a small red dot in the palm of my hand, and the pain quickly disappeared, but I didn't underestimate it. It's certainly not that simple.
"What's wrong, little brother?" The black jacket hurried up to look at it, grabbed my hand, and saw the little red dot.
I shook my head, indicating that I had never seen such a situation, and then said in a solemn tone: "It looks like it should have been bitten by a bug, and I'm worried that this thing is poisonous now." ”
"Toxic? Quite possibly! I'll take the antidote pill, you eat one! Black Jacket's eyes widened immediately, and he took a pill out of his bag and shoved it into my mouth. Actually, I probably know it in my heart, but I have already eaten my father's hundred poison pills before I came, so it should be fine, but since he gave it, I will eat it, and it doesn't matter if I eat more.
Seeing that I was all right, the black jacket walked towards the stone gate, and then approached, wanting to take a closer look at the stone gate, but I stopped him.
"Don't get closer, this stone gate is weird!" When I said this, Black Jacket and Ma Xu and Zhao Zhiqiang immediately became a little nervous, and then looked at the stone gate with strange eyes.
I slowly approached the stone gate, and then turned my head and shouted Ma Xu, Ma Xu heard me call him, immediately rushed over, and then asked me cautiously: "Little brother, how can I help?" ”
"Do you still have the sulfur powder you were given before?" I said lightly.
Ma Xu's eyes lit up, and then he quickly took out the paper bag containing sulfur powder from his backpack, and then hurriedly handed it to me and said, "Here, I still keep it!" ”
Without saying a word, I took the sulfur powder from Ma Xu's hand, then opened the paper package, and gently sprinkled the sulfur powder on the stone door.
The black jacket immediately understood something, he twisted his eyebrows, and said with a solemn face: "There are bugs on this door!" ”
"That's right, I was bitten by this bug just now." I said calmly, the wound didn't hurt anymore, but I opened my palm to see that the wound was purple, fortunately I had taken two antidote pills, otherwise, I would have probably gone to see Hades by this time.
Seeing this situation, Ma Xu and Zhao Zhiqiang became even more nervous.
"Bugs? Why didn't I see where this bug was? Ma Xu cautiously approached the stone gate, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see it.
So I explained to Ma Xu: "This thing should not be visible to the naked eye, whoever touches the stone gate, it will bite whom, and then it is highly poisonous, so the person who touches the stone gate will definitely die." ”
Hearing me say this, Ma Xu and Zhao Zhiqiang immediately gasped and remained motionless in place.
"We don't have enough sulfur powder on us, so we have to find a way." I sighed, looked at the little sulfur powder left in the paper bag, and fell into deep thought, if I had known that this was the case, I would have taken more with me when I went out.
Ma Xu slapped his thigh and said regretfully: "I knew that I would have collected a little more just now, but now that I think about it, it has wasted a lot." ”
"It's useless to regret it, we can't go back and collect sulfur powder, so let's find another way." The black jacket soon shattered Ma Xu's illusions.
