Chapter 207: Funeral Ditch
Reaching out to probe Yan Xiaoying's forehead, he found that the latter was in a fever.
His body was shaking slightly, and his hands and feet were cold.
The centipede is a highly poisonous thing, its poison is not so easy to solve, if it weren't for the pill given by the second master on the top of the mountain before, I am afraid that the body has been poisoned by the centipede into pus and blood.
When I was in danger, I couldn't imagine that so many things would happen.
Falling from such a high place, Yan Xiaoying and I are both still alive, this is something I never expected.
In fact, when I blocked the sneak attack of the four-winged centipede for Yan Xiaoying, I already had the heart of death. It's just that I didn't expect Yan Xiaoying, a woman, to be so stupid that she actually jumped down.
I don't know what she thought at the time? At that time, I had already been deeply poisoned by centipedes, and with her intelligence, she knew that jumping down would not save me, so why should she jump? Isn't that stupid?
Thinking of her previous experience in the Underground Burial Lake and in the Secret Realm of Heaven, almost every time she was injured was because of me, and she wandered in front of the Gate of Life and Death several times, and she was also burdened by me!
How can I, Lao Tianyan, let her be so attentive, meticulous, and willing to take care of her?
Speaking of which, when I first met Yan Xiaoying, it was just a meeting in Pingshui.
At that time, the torrential rain continued for several days, and the dormant snake in the reservoir was ready to move, and it had the tendency to break through the embankment and become a Jiaojiao. I had no choice but to seek help from Old Lady Yan overnight.
But Mrs. Yan has an old grudge against the old man of my family, and she asks for help to no avail.
It was then that I met Yan Xiaoying for the first time......
In fact, it is not the first time, because we were classmates in elementary school and studied together.
It's just that at that time, I was still young and didn't understand anything, and since graduating from elementary school, Yan Xiaoying dropped out of school and didn't study.
Since then, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and he is equivalent to a stranger.
So when I met her, I was very impressed, not to mention me, I believe that many people who saw Yan Xiaoying for the first time should be very impressed, because it is really rare for a young girl to have a bald head.
At that time, I thought she should be a very unique person who is not easy to get along with.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that when I was blocking Jiaojiao alone, she would go up the mountain to help me, and secretly took the corpse poison nail of Old Lady Yan.
Later, I was hunted down by the Soul Messenger of the Netherworld, and she also helped......
We haven't known each other for a long time, but in such a short time, she doesn't know how many times she has saved my life, and if it weren't for her, I don't know how many times I would have died.
I said to Liu Xiaojiao before that mountain guards are a high-risk profession, in fact, if there is no Yan Xiaoying's help, how can I have the confidence to be the mountain keeper of Heavenly Mountain?
She ate the spirit baby fruit left to me by the old man, and said that she would compensate me, so many times she sacrificed her life to save her, she should have already compensated for it; On the contrary, if you talk about human kindness, I don't know how much I owe her......
However, at that time, the soul of the Heavenly Master was still dormant in my body, and in any case, I felt that the spirit infant fruit left by the old man was not for me, but for the soul of the Heavenly Master in my body.
Between life and death, the true feelings can be revealed.
I sighed, stood up with a flashlight, found Yan Xiaoying's corpse rope nearby, and then gently helped her up and wrapped the corpse rope around the latter's waist again.
At a glance, I saw the corpse of a centipede lying on the ground not far away, completely dead since the little girl took the demon pill.
Now that Yan Xiaoying is in this situation, I'm afraid that only Centipede Neidan can save her.
Although there is no Neidan, there is still an injured six-winged centipede in this mountain tomb, and the four-winged centipede has Neidan, and the six-winged centipede definitely has it.
I clenched my fists, and my joints rattled.
No matter how difficult or dangerous it is this time, I will kill that six-winged centipede, and use its inner pill to save Yan Xiaoying, even if I lose my own life.
The little red snake should have followed the six-winged centipede in at the beginning, I wonder if it succeeded?
If the six-winged centipede's Neidan is swallowed by the little red snake, it will be difficult to do......
And Liu Xiaojiao, is she really dead?
I don't know if she's dead or not, but there is one thing, I have the same fate as the little red snake, and if I am still alive, it proves that it is still alive.
It's just that this mountain tomb doesn't look like a tomb at all, but like an underground labyrinth, and I don't know how big it is, where are they now?
Although I am not a professional, in general, the structure of the ancient tombs of the princes and generals of the past dynasties is composed of tomb doors, corridors, halls, burial chambers, tomb roads, burial pits, drainage systems and other parts.
Whether it is the covered bucket tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties, or the stone tombs of the Wei and Jin dynasties, or the opening of the mountains as mausoleums in the Tang Dynasty, or the combination of ancient tombs and ground temple buildings from the Southern Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty......
No matter which dynasty it is, the tomb situation in China for thousands of years comes from the layout of the five elements of feng shui bred by the 64 hexagrams of Fuxi.
In fact, in the final analysis, it boils down to eight words: within creation, heaven and man are one!
But the mountain tomb in front of us is a bit contrary to common sense, if the stone gate we entered is the tomb door, then the next should be the front hall of the Yongdao Hall......
To put it bluntly, when people are alive, they live in a yang house, and when they die, they live in a yin house. An ancient tomb is a house where the dead live, and the structure inside is generally similar to the house where the owner of the tomb lived in front of him.
It's just that since we entered the tomb gate, we didn't see any buildings except the iron suspension bridge, and it was clearly a huge underground cave.
However, in ancient times, when this place did not belong to the territory of China, there were many small countries here, and among the 36 countries of the famous Western Regions, there were several countries located in the land of Baiyue.
Different ethnic groups have different ways of living and burial after death.
Besides, the second master also said that the owner of this mountain tomb is a generation of demon generals, and since it is the tomb of the demon general, it is natural that there is no common sense to spend it.
However, only in places like Xiangxi can there be so many naturally formed and unknown underground karst caves.
This is a typical karst landscape!
When I was helping Yan Xiaoying find the rope that tied the corpse just now, I looked around and found that my current location was similar to that in a canyon where two mountains meet.
But it could also be in the cracks in the mountain, as there are steep cliffs on both sides.
The underground canyon is seven or eight meters wide, and although the air below is humid, there is no stagnant water, let alone an undercurrent.
At the moment, we are in the middle of it, and we don't know which direction is the exit, and we can't climb up the steep cliff like a little girl.
But we can't just stay where we are and do nothing, it's no different from waiting to die.
Besides, I don't know how long Yan Xiaoying can hold out, all in all, let's leave first, of course, it would be best if she could meet the injured six-winged centipede.
Now that I have absorbed the liquid of blood ginseng refining, I only feel that my whole body is full of strength, as if I can kill a cow with one punch.
After a little contemplation, I made up my mind.
Yan Xiaoying was poisoned by centipedes and was unconscious, so I carried her on my back and fixed her behind me with a corpse rope. It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, she has been in a coma like this in the secret realm of heaven, and she can be regarded as familiar with the road.
The beam of light from the flashlight couldn't tell the direction at all, so I could only find a direction in the dark and walk away.
At this time, my strength has increased greatly, and carrying Yan Xiaoying on my back is no different from carrying a backpack, and I don't feel that it is too difficult.
The faint beam of light only allowed me to see within 10 meters of my surroundings.
At this point, I don't know if I'm going deeper into the canyon or out of the canyon?
The canyon was wide and narrow, and it was very irregular, and after walking for about a few hundred meters, I suddenly saw the skeleton of a wild beast on the ground in front of me.
When I looked closely, I found that the shape was somewhat like the skeleton of a horse or cow, and some of them were difficult to identify because of the weathering and scattering.
I don't know how long the bones have been here, they fall apart at the touch of it, and some have rotted into mud.
I didn't stay long, I continued on my way, and then I saw the bones of several more beasts after death, until finally I saw a humanoid skeleton and slowed down.
As far as the eye could see at this time, there were white bones in front of him, and there were corpses everywhere, including human bones and animal bones.
When I saw this, I realized that this canyon was like a burial pit.
And these animal corpses in front of him are for the burial of the tomb owner, and since there is a burial pit, it should not be far from the mausoleum.
This burial pit should be formed naturally, and the owner of the tomb repaired his mausoleum with the help of geographical convenience, otherwise how could the burial pit of the princely tomb have such a deep reason?
In ancient times, there were many burial pits in the mausoleums of dignitaries and nobles, which were divided into two parts, one on the left and one on the right, one for the burial of livestock, and one for the burial of the items used by the tomb owner during his lifetime, and even valuables of gold and silver treasures.
In addition, the burial of the living is also a common occurrence, such as the one in front of us.
Burial pits are generally not far from the main hall, but at the moment this tomb is unusual and there may be exceptions.
It's just that at the moment, there are too many innocent lives buried by the tomb owner, and as far as the eye can see, it is simply Shura Hell.
After a little thought, I continued to walk forward with Yan Xiaoying on my back, stepping on the white bones of Sen Ran, clattering.
It's not that I deliberately want to offend my ancestors, it's just that the corpses in the burial pit are piled up, and there is no place to stay, so I can only trample on them.
After walking dozens of meters, there were countless bones underground, and the number of them was staggering. The most important thing is that the further you go inside, the more bones belong to humans.
Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the scale of this burial alone that the identity of the owner in front of him is not simple.
Fortunately, nothing strange happened along the way, and I was a little relieved and continued on my way, hoping to find the exit to the burial pit.
After walking for dozens of meters, I suddenly felt a tingling pain in the soles of my feet, and I thought that the soles of my feet were pierced by broken bones, because I was not wearing shoes at the moment, and I had been stabbed by bones several times before.
As long as you pay attention not to be pierced on the soles of your feet, this small injury will not have much effect.
Only this time it was quite serious, and when I leaned down to check, I found a large hole under my feet, and blood kept gushing out. There was nothing around to stop the bleeding, and I only had a pair of shorts on me, so I had to reach out and tear Yan Xiaoying's clothes behind my back and bandage the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding.
When I finished the simple bandaging and saw the end of the stabbing myself, I couldn't help but be stunned.
In the faint light of the flashlight, he saw that the person who stabbed the sole of his foot was actually a rusted bayonet, and he pulled the bayonet from under the ashes, and pulled out a rusty rifle with a rotten wooden handle......
