Chapter 31: The Shaft

Wu Xin was bold, jumped onto the sarcophagus, stood steady with his feet across the two eaves, and took out the ink fountain line from the ink fountain and put it on the neck of the dried corpse and slowly lifted it up.

Old Man Zhuo: "Girl, be careful of the corpse!" ”

Wu Xin: "It's okay, this dry corpse won't be transformed." ”

As the dry corpse broke away from the sarcophagus, it turned out that there was a large crack about ten centimeters wide hidden underneath, and I don't know where to pass through the crack, and there were several tentacles that they had met in the passage before, and they were all seven when they were counted, and they all grew together with the spine of the dry corpse, but now they were broken by Wu Xin's withdrawal, and they all seemed to have already died.

Seeing that there was no mechanism under the sarcophagus, Wu Xin withdrew the ink fountain line and let the dry corpse lie back.

Old Man Zhuo looked at it with wide eyes: "No matter how you look at this, it's a bit out of the realm of Taoism." ”。

Shen Jinsan: "Could it be that these tentacles are used to provide nutrients to the people in the coffin, so that they will live forever or achieve some purpose, but they did not succeed in the process, and finally became a dried corpse like this." ”

Old Man Zhuo: "Your idea is very special. ”

"Look there, there's a lotus seed that seems to be a lid that can be opened!" It turned out that Wu Xin was standing on the sarcophagus and accidentally saw that one of the several lotus seeds carved on the stone lotus seemed to be a lid embedded in the ground, because it was already very well concealed and the age had fallen a very thick dust, so everyone didn't notice it, and now Wu Xin found out and shouted in that direction.

Shen Jinsan stepped over a few steps to wipe away the dust on the ground, it was indeed a stone lid as Wu Xin said, and there were two copper rings embedded on it that could stand up as handles.

Shen Jinsan lifted the copper ring with both hands, rotated the lid a few times, and then lifted it vigorously and put it aside.

Sure enough, there was a shaft below, faintly crawling with tentacles, and there was a wooden ladder on the wall of the shaft, but it looked a little fragile, and I didn't know if it could withstand the three of them climbing.

Wu Xin pulled out a hair and pinched it with her thumb and index finger and put it at the entrance of the hole, the hair did not move at all, she leaned down to smell it again, and there was an extremely unpleasant smell from under the shaft, and then Wu Xin took out a coin and threw it in.

After the coin landed and there was an echo, she said: "The dark passage is at least twenty meters deep, and the air below is not circulated, and the smell is very strong, let's go down when it is breathable, Shen Jinsan, you go to my bag to find a rope to tie to the coffin lid and put it in the hole, and everyone will hold the rope and go down later, I am afraid that this wooden escalator is not strong enough." ”

At this time, Old Man Zhuo returned to the sarcophagus and didn't know what he was looking at, so Shen Jinsan hurriedly followed.

When the old man saw Shen Jinsan coming, he said to him: "Jin San, you see that there are a lot of stains on both sides of the sarcophagus that seem to be scratches, do you think this Taoist priest will become a dry corpse after being disemboweled and killed when he was alive, if this assumption is true, who is willing to take such a big risk to enter here to take the things in his stomach and destroy his plan to become an immortal, what is the relationship between the person who arranged this bureau and the person in the coffin?" In the past, I was really a frog at the bottom of the well, thinking that the Nine Star Sect Taoism was invincible in the world, and I couldn't imagine that the Taoism in ancient times was broad and profound, even if the master and his old man were here, he might not be able to understand it, but unfortunately there were too few Taoism in the world, maybe there was really a way to make people immortal and become immortals. ”

Shen Jinsan: "It's not impossible, but I think that immortality is not necessarily a good thing." ”

"Come here and help!" Wu Xin interrupted the conversation between the two.

Shen Jinsan and Old Man Zhuo thought that this girl was in danger, and rushed to her side in a panic, but they never expected that it was Wu Xin who took advantage of this moment to rummage through several bronze palaces and stuff the baby into his backpack, and now he couldn't take it and wanted the two of them to help.

Old Man Zhuo was angry: "Ghost girl, what are you doing with so many spiritual weapons, I was shocked, and I thought something had happened to you." ”

Wu Xin: "Are you not tempted to see so many good things?" The tools and medicines that Dad consumes every year are ridiculously expensive, and we don't rely on how to exchange them, every time we finish our work, as long as there are valuable things, we will take them away, besides, we don't have financial resources, Uncle Zhuo! ”

Shen Jinsan looked at the jewels in the bronze palace: "Your parents really didn't make a mistake with your name, it was really unintentional, but women are the same, they always pick and choose what they like, and they can't make up their minds, and it is estimated that the fat man is more ruthless than you." ”

In fact, Shen Jinsan said these nonsensical words just to remind Wu Xin that the main purpose now is to find Neidan to save the fat man, and the rest of the things can be avoided, and try not to make extraneous branches.

Wu Xin said to Shen Jinsan without cutting down: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, you can disagree, but please show a minimum of respect, act quickly if you want to take it, choose a few decent pieces, take as many as you can, and then go down to the dark road, there are not many opportunities for this!" ”

Old man Zhuo: "What the girl said is right, since you are here, you should bring a little bit each, the money is of no use to the old man, take away some of the power for you, you are still young, there will be a time when you will be useful in the future." ”

After choosing the baby, Wu Xin asked everyone to put everything on the stone lotus, don't take it down, for fear that the burden is too heavy, and then come up and take it away when the work is done.

Shen Jinsan laughed at her for doing this too much, why didn't she wait until she was done to come up and pick it up.

Wu Xin said that in case of an emergency and need to escape, where is there still time to choose, now that it is ready, it is not more convenient to pick it up and leave later.

Shen Jinsan thought to herself, this little girl not only has a lot of ghost ideas, but also has a very careful mind, and it seems that she has followed her father to the rivers and lakes.

Fiddling stopped, the three of them took out the masks prepared in advance and put them on, it was still the first formation, Wu Xin took the lead and went down the rope to the shaft, Old Man Zhuo was in the middle, and Shen Jin was behind the third hall.

The wooden escalator creaked as they stepped on, and the decayed part crumbled into sawdust and fell to the bottom of the well, but fortunately there was a rope to share most of the weight, otherwise this escalator alone would not have been able to bear it.

The shaft was made of stones, but it still couldn't stop the tentacles, some of them grew aimlessly through the gaps between the stones and stuck to the wall of the shaft, and some of them stretched directly to the opposite side and penetrated into another gap.

Countless tentacles criss-cross is very obstructive, Wu Xin can only use a dagger to smash these to descend a little bit, fortunately, most of them have already died, otherwise the juice spilled when splitting the tentacles will definitely disgust people to death.

However, the smell in this shaft is not much better, the deeper it goes, the stronger the smell becomes, even wearing masks can not resist it from penetrating into people's noses, and the three of them frowned, and their stomachs turned over for a while.

Fortunately, the sense of smell is easy to get tired, and after a long time, you get used to it.

At this time, the three of them also wondered what was stored underneath, and how could it be so foul.
