Chapter 201: Crypt Suspicion (1)
Obviously, such a "cycle" is arranged here for its purpose. Zhu Sibo thought that it might be that the owner of the tomb wanted to protect himself from being disturbed by the outside world.
However, my second senior brother and Ouyang De have similar opinions, and they feel that there are other intentions in this arrangement.
But what the specific intention was, the two of them couldn't guess. But the three of them didn't want to care, they wanted to continue to explore the tomb in depth. But now another problem has arisen. When we got to the fourth pit, there was no stone gate on the other side that could be passed.
That is, they are trapped here.
If you want to get out, you have to go back the way you came. But there are big man-eating rats over there, and poisonous snakes, and the most important thing is that even if you go out, there are still bloody corpses outside.
The three of them stayed at the edge of the narrow pit, considering a way to get out.
But even if they wanted to break their heads, they didn't know how to get out.
And on the fourth pit, the stench of the rotten corpse liquid under the pit made them dizzy. Zhu Sibo didn't hold back, his body bowed slightly, and he spit out several times. And it seems that there is a certain toxicity in those gases.
So, after a brief discussion, the three of them decided to leave the fourth pit first and return to the third pit.
Inside the third pit was the Blood Vine, which did not attack them, and crawled quietly at the bottom of the pit.
The three of them stayed here in the third pit for more than two hours, and Ouyang De, who was angry, lost his temper and looked very angry. Zhu Sibo's face was pale and depressed.
On the contrary, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou is quite calm......
When he said this, Zhu Sibo, who was lying on the hospital bed, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Sibo, don't worry, let's drink saliva first. Wait a minute. I said to Zhu Sibo.
Zhu Sibo nodded and drank a little water.
But I know that my second senior brother and the three of them eventually got out of the pit. But how to get out, I don't know. Wait a minute, Zhu Sibo will tell me.
I'm thinking about the snake figure right now. When I was at Wen's house, I entered the collection room and stared at the snake figure's eyes, and I had hallucinations in my mind.
The hallucination led me into a deep pit.
The pit is supposed to be the pit where the poisonous snakes are. At that time, I had the feeling that I was in the middle of the scene, surrounded by poisonous snakes, and I could die at any time. But how can illusions create scenes inside the pit?
After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the snake spirit.
By the way, poisonous snakes are also living beings, and they will have souls after death. In other words, the snake spirit was simply made of a dead poisonous snake. Its spirit had previously hidden inside the snake figure, leaving its memories inside the "Dan Red Pearl".
With the help of the red beads, the snake spirit introduced the illusion into my mind, which in turn affected my consciousness.
Does that mean that, for some reason, the spirits of the dead vipers can survive? According to Chu Liang, the native master, after he and his companions entered the tomb, they should have not found the terrible "circular" pit.
They saw a lot of snake figures, and the snake figures seemed to be guarding something.
Does it mean that those snake figures have snake spirits in them? When this thought came to me, I suddenly felt terrible in my heart.
Even, I came up with an even more terrifying ideaββββ the "loop" pit was not meant to prevent outsiders from entering the tomb at all, but to say, through this cycle, to collect snake spirits.
There are also the three words "Silver Snake Sect" on the tail of the snake man's wooden carving, maybe it was the people of the Silver Snake Sect who arranged that terrible "loop". β
But what kind of sect the Silver Serpent Cult is, I still don't know at all.
At this time, Zhu Sibo spoke again and said, "Brother Qin, don't worry about Daoist Jiang and Daoist Ouyang, the two of them are profound, I think there will definitely be no problem!" Still, just in case, I'd like you to visit that tomb. That's why I'm calling you. β
I wish Sibo a few years younger than me, and it's okay to call me "Brother Qin".
I nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'm definitely going to the tomb." Moreover, you may not know that the thief cave you entered was left behind by Tufuzi. And I've already seen one of the stolen men digging holes. As for the other two, they had already died in that tomb. β
"And ah, I'm afraid that tomb is not just a tomb, I am afraid there are other conspiracies. In the middle, it is related to a sect called the 'Silver Serpent Sect' in ancient times. β
Unexpectedly, after listening to my words, Zhu Sibo's reaction turned out to be very big: "Silver Snake Sect? ... You even know about the Silver Serpent Cult! ... In this way, the Tufuzi must have seen those human-headed snake figures. β
I nodded: "The tomb that Tufuzi entered before you went to the same path is also different, they should not have encountered those deep pits, but encountered snake figures." As for what the snake statue is guarding, I don't know. β
"Also, this time, when I go to the tomb of Wulao Mountain, I will also bring that Tufuzi, and when the time comes, he should be able to help a little."
Zhu Sibo nodded and said, "You can take him with you!" ... That Tufuzi may be much more familiar with that tomb than we are, and if he helps, Daoist Jiang and Daoist Ouyang should have no problem. β
"It's just that when we entered the tomb before, we thought that we would be able to come out soon, so we didn't prepare too much food and water, and I don't know how Daoist Jiang and Daoist Ouyang are doing now."
It's useless to talk about this now, you can only worry in vain.
I said to Zhu Sibo: "Brother Sibo, you should tell me what happened later, and let me be mentally prepared." You, my second senior brother, and Daoist Ouyang should have left those four deep pits, right? β
Zhu Sibo replied: "That's right, we left that pit. β
"We had to be stuck in the third pit for half a day, and all three of us were very impatient. At this moment, Jiang Daochang seemed to hear something, and it came from behind the soil layer not far from us. β
So, I used a shovel to dig up the soil. Not to mention, I dug a few meters away, and I found a path. There were no bloody corpses in the path. We were quite happy in our hearts, so we hurriedly left the third pit. β
"That path and the path where the blood corpses are located should still be connected, because when we walked through that path inside, we came across a few blood corpses scattered and scattered. However, those bloody corpses were nailed to death by Jiang Daochang with jujube pits. β
"By the way, the bloody corpse's head is his weakness! ... As long as the consciousness in his head is destroyed, the bloody corpse is no different from the dead corpse. β
"At that time, we followed the path and also found a burial chamber. At that time, I thought that there would be a lot of burial goods in the tomb, but when I entered the tomb, I found wooden shelves one by one. On the wooden shelves are many snake-shaped swords, spears and other weapons. β
"Several yellow booklets were also found. But because the inside of the tomb is a little damp, the handwriting on the yellow pamphlet is still very blurry. However, in a yellow booklet, Daoist Ouyang found an introduction to the Silver Snake Sect. β
Saying this, Zhu Sibo raised his finger and pointed to his backpack placed there not far from the windowsill.
"Brother Qin, that ancient book is in my backpack and was brought out by me."
When I heard this, I was surprised and immediately sat up from the bed. I dodged to the window, opened Zhu Sibo's backpack, and I pulled out a tattered thread-bound book with a light yellow cover.
"Many of the pages in the book have been damaged, and the handwriting is not clear, Brother Qin, be careful when you read it, don't break it. The research value of this thing is still very high. β
I nodded, opened the ancient book, and took a casual look. However, I didn't find an introduction to the "Silver Snake Sect", because there are still a lot of words in it, and it is not easy to find them word by word.
"The introduction to the Silver Serpent Sect should be in the middle. I heard Daoist Ouyang say that the Silver Snake Sect was a sect in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was extremely evil. They worship the snake god, claiming that as long as they are protected by the snake god, they will be blessed and live a long life. β
I flipped through the ancient book to the middle and found a bit about the Silver Serpent Cult.
However, I didn't look closely, so I put the old book in my backpack.
"Brother Sibo, you better continue to talk about it, I'll read this ancient book later. I need to know what happened to you now, why did my second senior brother and Ouyang Dao Chang get trapped in the tomb? ... Also, how did you escape? β
Zhu Sibo continued.
Although Jiang Tianzhou, Ouyang De, and Zhu Sibo found the tomb, they didn't find any treasures. Aside from the rotten serpentine weapons on the wooden shelves, and a few broken books, nothing useful was found.
At that time, all three of them realized that maybe this place was more than just a tomb.
So the desire to explore is even stronger.
However, after not walking for a long time, a forked path appeared in front of me, with passages on the left and right sides. My second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou suggested going to the left, but Ouyang De suggested going to the right.
The two of them were a little angry because they hadn't found the burial goods in the tomb just now.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of "stomping" in the path on the left, which was very similar to the sound of bloody corpses walking, and there were quite a few of them.
So the three of them chose the path on the right-hand side.
However, not long after entering the path, the three of them found two decomposing corpses.
The corpse was dressed in modern clothes, dressed and carried, and at a glance it was clear that they were two tomb robbers.
However, judging from the extent of the decomposition of the bodies of the two tomb robbers, it should not have been too long to die. However, what is disgusting is that the stench emitted by the corpse is even worse than the smell of "corpse liquid" in the fourth pit.
Their stomachs have been opened for some reason, and rats are eating in their stomachs. The appearance of the three people naturally scared the rats away.
But when I looked at the cause of death of the two people, I found that they were not bitten to death by a bloody corpse. It has nothing to do with rats or poisonous snakes.
Rather, they stabbed each other to death with knives and opened each other's stomachs.
Judging from the fierce and hideous faces of the two people, when they died, there may have been some kind of quarrel or something, which caused the conflict.
