The cave was pitch black, and Qi Lu had no choice but to ask Lao Wu: "Did you bring a flashlight?" ”

Lao Wu replied in a low voice: "No." ”

Qi Lu wanted to borrow the light of his mobile phone to see the situation in the cave, but then he thought that the mobile phones of the three of them were inexplicably out of power, so he had to beckon the two of them to come out of the cave, find a dead branch, and use a lighter to waste a long time before lighting it, and then he carried the torch into the hole.

After entering the cave, he found that it was a deep hole, and Ding Xiaolan said fearfully, "How do I feel like I have entered a grave?" ”

The walls of the cave are smooth, and the ground is flat, and it really looks like a long tunnel.

They walked for about ten minutes and still didn't come to the end, Qi Lu was nothing, but Ding Xiaolan was a little impatient, and said, "Qi Lu, let's just go back, it is estimated that there is nothing in the cave." ”

"Okay, let's go back." Lao Wu wished he had left this ghost place as soon as possible.

"Don't make a mess" Qi Lu didn't finish his words, he felt that he stepped on something with his right foot, and then he fell forward all of a sudden.

Lao Wu, who was following behind, reacted quickly and grabbed his arm, so as not to let him fall into the dirt.

"What's wrong with you?" As soon as Ding Xiaolan finished asking, her mouth opened wide, and her face was stiff and full of fear.

She saw a corpse lying on the ground. The clothes on his body had been torn to shreds, and his body was twisted into a ball in an incredible position. The blood on the corpse's face had coagulated, and the death was terrifying.

"Ahh Ding Xiaolan finally couldn't help but scream.

"I'll just say there's something weird in this hole, or wouldn't it be boring for those little ones to lead us here."

Qi Lu squatted down to inspect the corpse, and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, he recognized that it was the scent of grass again, and then he found that there were a few pine branches scattered around the corpse, he picked up one of them and put it in front of the torch to examine it carefully, and found that the front end of the branch was stained with blood.

Ding Xiaolan closed her eyes and asked, "Is it a human or a monster who died?" ”

"It's an ordinary person, probably murdered, and the murder weapon is this firewood."

Qi Lu also found that the fatal wound of the deceased was on the top of his head, as if he had been smashed into a big hole by a heavy object, and the blood in his body had already been drained, but it had not yet completely coagulated, so his hair looked wet and unkempt.

Lao Wu rolled up the deceased's trouser legs and looked at them and said, "There are no corpse spots, which means that the person has just died, and it will not take more than two hours." ”

"Hmm." Qi Lu suddenly felt a thick nausea, and still couldn't get used to seeing the bloody corpse, so he had to endure the feeling of wanting to vomit and said, "The deceased is wearing famous brands all over his body, and he seems to be a rich man." ”

Lao Wu said in surprise: "Just this wooden stick can punch the head out of this big hole, and the murderer's strength is too great, right?" ”

"How can ordinary people have such great strength, maybe the person who killed him is a monster."

"It's possible." Lao Wu was rummaging through the clothes pocket of the corpse, hoping to find the documents to prove the identity of the deceased. But in the end, he was disappointed, and the deceased had nothing with him, not even a wallet.

Qi Lu said at this time: "The situation is a little wrong, the soil on the deceased's pants is not the same as the soil in the cave. ”

"Then this hole is not the scene of the crime, the deceased was killed by the murderer and dumped here."

Qi Lu was puzzled and said, "I wonder why the flying squirrels brought us here?" You must know that it is impossible for the flying squirrels of Tianchi to pay attention to the death of an ordinary human. ”

"Hell, there have been too many strange things these days."

When the torch was about to run out, Wu picked up a pine branch and lit it in front of the torch, and then walked forward with a new torch to see if there was anything stranger in the cave.

After only a few steps, the cave turned a corner, and Lao Wu also walked to the end of the cave, and there was a light through. preference

At the end of the cave, there was a stone crack that only allowed one person to enter and exit, and the light came in from the outside, and Lao Wu hurriedly beckoned Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan to come over.

"What about the corpse?" Qi Lu asked hesitantly.

"Leave it alone, let's get out of the cave first."

Qi Lu had no choice but to straighten up and walk towards the crack in the stone. Ding Xiaolan covered her nose while following him closely, and the expression on her face could already be described as terrible.

The three of them cautiously walked out of the crack in the stone, and suddenly it became clear in front of them that there was a farmland in front of them, and because the light was too dim, it was impossible to see what crops were planted in the field.

In front of the farmland, a large mound of five or six meters high is faintly visible to the naked eye.

Qi Lu patted the dust on his body, subconsciously glanced back, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

The crack in the stone was gone, and not only that, but the strange hill was gone, and in its place was a field of farmland, and he stood on the edge of the field.

"What the hell are we doing?" Ding Xiaolan also discovered this strange scene, and her little heart was already pounding.

"Ghost hitting the wall?" Qi Lu's answer was obviously a lack of confidence.

"It can't be a ghost hitting the wall." Lao Wu corrected his mistakes: "It's like an illusion set up for us by a certain god to achieve his ulterior purpose." ”

Qi Lu was speechless, Lao Wu's explanation was logically more convincing than his answer, and more importantly, if it was a ghost, he didn't have the ability to confuse himself and Lao Wu.

"Look over there!" Ding Xiaolan said in a low voice, with an indescribable expression in her eyes.

Qi Lu looked in the direction her hand pointed, and the whole person was stunned.

A fire appeared in the grass farther ahead, very similar to the one they had begun to encounter, except that there seemed to be a few people sitting next to it. Due to the distance between them, it is impossible to distinguish whether these people are men or women.

Qi Lu and the three of them looked at each other, and Qi Lu finally made a decision, no matter what strange things would happen, they would go to the fire to see what was going on.

Qi Lu extinguished the torch, and the three of them tiptoed towards the fire, getting closer and closer, Qi Lu finally saw that there were two middle-aged men in their forties sitting next to the fire.

It was very quiet tonight, there was no sound of insects chirping around, and Qi Lu had already heard the conversation between the two men.

I only heard a man in a black casual suit say: "I've been waiting for a long time, why hasn't that guy come yet?" ”

"Wait another ten minutes, and if he doesn't come, we'll go back to sleep." Another man in yellow was also a little impatient.

"Look, he's coming." The man in black happened to turn his head to Qi Lu's side at this time, and saw Qi Lu and his party walking towards them.

"Why are there three people, and a woman?" The man in yellow wanted to mumble a few words, but the man in black motioned him with his eyes to stop talking.

"What should I do?" Ding Xiaolan saw that the two men in front of the fire had already gotten up and walked towards them, and she was a little panicked.

Qi Lu bit his ear at Lao Wu and said, "Maybe they are waiting for someone, but it's a bit strange to wait for someone so late." ”

"It's just a matter of waiting for someone, they seem to think of us as the ones who are waiting." What the two men said just now, Lao Wu also heard.

"What are you afraid of, let's go over and have a look first."

There is no yin qi on these two people, which means that they are not demons who take advantage of the dark night to haunt them. Since they are human, Qi Lu has no psychological burden, even if they have bad intentions, they will not be their opponents.

Qi Lu then walked towards them calmly, and Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan didn't want to say anything more, so they had to follow him.

"Who are you?" When the man in black saw Qi Lu's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and there was a little panic in his eyes.

"We are" As soon as Ding Xiaolan said half a sentence, Qi Lu cut off his words. "We are the ones you are waiting for."

"Huh?" Ding Xiaolan just wanted to pull the corner of Qi Lu's back coat to remind him not to talk nonsense, but was secretly stopped by Lao Wu.

"You're not the one I'm waiting for." The man in black said coldly: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

Qi Lu smiled slightly, and followed his words: "If it weren't for your mess, who would have come to this ghost place in the middle of the night?" ”

"Are you really sent by Mr. Hong?" This time it was the man in yellow who was questioned, and it could be seen that he was not as urban-minded as the man in black.

"Yes." Qi Lu didn't dare to speak more, for fear that he would reveal more flaws.

The man in black glared at the man in yellow and then asked, "Why didn't Mr. Hong come?" ”

"Because there was a temporary out-of-town customer who wanted to sell a valuable cultural relic, he went to buy it overnight."

When he touched it just now, Qi Lu had already squinted and saw a snakeskin bag next to the fire, and a tile-shaped shovel was exposed at the mouth of the bag. He immediately understood that this was a Luoyang shovel for archaeology and tomb robbery.

Qi Lu also found that these two people were not wearing ordinary casual clothes, but a strange suit with a hat attached, with tight cuffs and trouser legs.

has been dealing with the three sects and nine streams for many years, and Qi Lu is also well-informed, and he recognized this as a special mouse suit for tomb robbing. Archaeologists would never run out into the wilderness in the middle of the night with tools to wait for someone, these two people are most likely tomb robbers.

Now that he saw the famous hall, Qi Lu also made up the reason why Mr. Hong went to other places to buy cultural relics, but he kept beating the drum in his heart, hoping that he wouldn't guess wrong.

It turned out that Qi Lu was really right, and the man in yellow relaxed his vigilance when he heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Boss Hong just loves this thing, and we are counting on him to sell the goods today at a good price." ”

"It's not early, let's hurry up and get to work, otherwise everyone won't want to get rich when the day dawns." The man in black had already picked up his bag and was ready to leave as he spoke.

"Let me mention it, and I'll count on the two of you to help me later." Qi Lu took the bag with a smile on his face, feeling heavy, by carrying the bag on his back, he had already seen the contents of the bag, in addition to the Luoyang shovel, there were candles, flashlights, axes, sapper shovels, and even special iron cones. Good fellow, all the tools for tomb robbing are readily available.

"Why are there three people, and a woman?" After the man in black extinguished the fire, he asked Qi Lu again, and it could be seen that he was still suspicious.

"There is a lot of strength in numbers." Qi Lu said quietly: "Don't underestimate them, this girl has night vision, and she can see the movement of a hundred meters away at night, and we can't be safer when she lets her go." ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Hong to have such a talent." The man in black then said, "But when I say something ugly, no matter how many of you come, you can't share more things." ”

"I started to say okay, you can't regret it." The man in yellow also spoke on the side, a typical look of a wealth obsessive.

"Brother, I didn't come out on the first day, and Mr. Hong also took care of him before going out, how could we go back on our word." Qi Lu hurriedly dispelled their suspicions.

The man in black stopped talking, and asked Qi Lu and the three of them to follow him closely and walk towards the darkness.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the moonlight to death, and only the man in black who led the way had a flashlight in his hand, barely illuminating the road ahead.

His flashlight is also a special tool for tomb robbing, and the front of the lamp head is covered with a black hard-shell plastic, with a hole the size of a copper coin. In this way, the light emitted by the flashlight will not diverge, and can only shine straight on the front section, and people who often walk at night use it to illuminate the road, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others.

Qi Lu and the others followed the two tomb robbers in the potholed grass for about ten minutes, and then came to the place where they began to walk out of the cave.
