Chapter 54: The Centipede and the Fire

I was still thinking about how to get out of this group when suddenly there was a "Ah! The ground screamed.

The sixth master stood up abruptly and looked down. I also leaned over, but I couldn't see what was going on under the thief hole a few meters deep.

The man below shouted again, "Rope...... Rope! ”

A few men next to him quickly reacted, pulled the rope, and dragged him with the bamboo basket. After coming up, he was helped aside, and he only squatted on the ground and did not say a word.

The sixth master and a group of people surrounded him, stared at him for a long time, and spoke: "I said that you are not missing arms or legs, what are you calling blindly."

The man only crouched there, not saying a word, far away, and looked at his face with something strange, and they were so close that they could only see the top of their heads. This silence provoked the sixth master to anger, and kicked the man over.

It doesn't matter if you don't kick, as soon as you kick him, he will lie down and never move again. His face had turned black from purple, and pus and blood were coming out of his eyes and nose.

I subconsciously hurriedly shouted: "Stand back!" I regret it after shouting, I don't take advantage of the chaos to help them here?

They seemed to have come to their senses as soon as I was reminded of them, and they all took a few steps back. The scene became awkward for a while, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but they were all in a panic.

The sixth master looked at me: "Do you know what's going on?"

Anyone with a little common sense knows what else could be wrong with this: "He's poisoned, and it's highly poisonous." By the way, hurry up and open the doors and windows! In case it's poison gas! ”

The group of people under him seemed to be very sorry for their lives, and they didn't wait for the sixth master's instructions, so they quickly opened all the ventilation places nearby, and the sixth master may feel justified and acquiesced.

After the toss was over, everyone came back here again, and they looked at each other again.

The sixth master asked me, "Do you know what kind of poison this is?"

I thought to myself where I would know where to go, so I had to answer, "This must be a poison that can make people die so quickly," and I thought of his scream just now, "Could it be a poisonous snake underneath?"

I know that there are a lot of poisonous snakes here in H Province, and the most famous one is the five-step snake, but even if it is a five-step snake, the poison cannot be so fast.

The sixth master obviously also thought of this: "Impossible, the snake venom didn't die so quickly." You said you want to help Lao Tzu, is there any way? If I can't help it, I'll send you down to see it. ”

If you want to talk about the method of drug testing, examining the wounds of the corpse is one way, but who wants to do this unlucky errand? I must have gone if I brought it up, and it was too dangerous. Other methods...

"Do you have a spotlight oil lamp here?"

He beckoned to his men and brought two oil lamps that looked well-prepared, and covered them all around them so that the light could gather in one direction.

I beckoned the two of them to go over and help me turn on the lights, they both hesitated and didn't dare to go, I looked at the sixth master, the sixth master glared, and the two obediently walked over. Seeing that there was no danger after they were in place, I followed them, the thief hole was brightly beaten by the light, I and the sixth master went over, looked down, and found that in addition to the soil, it was still soil, and there was no shadow of snakes and snake holes.

I looked down again, and suddenly I saw that there seemed to be a small piece of golden light in the low mound of earth, like a small piece of gold.

Could it be that this is a poisonous hairpin, which he stepped on?

But, to my surprise, the little nugget looked like it was moving!

I took a closer look, and sure enough, it looked like I was drilling into the dirt. I said in my heart that gold can be refined in this year? I looked up at a few people around me, and they should have seen it too, all looking up at each other.

"Housheng, you know this thing." The sixth master asked.

I shook my head: "I just came to Guibao Land, how can you know a lot about underground things, what do you say this is?"

He snorted and sneered, "Golden-headed centipede."

Golden-headed centipede? I can't believe it, snake venom may not be able to poison people like this, centipede venom is so big?

"Sixth master, what is a golden-headed centipede?" Before I could ask, a slightly fat guy next to me asked first.

"It's a highly poisonous centipede, many years ago, when I was about the same age as this kid, I met it with the master, but fortunately, the master quickly flattened it with a shovel, otherwise I might have confessed back then, so I always remember this thing. The master said that this thing only builds a nest in a place with good feng shui, sucks the aura of heaven and earth, and after a long time, it can become a centipede essence. I didn't expect it, I can still meet it today, it seems that this tomb feng shui didn't say, there must be something good. ”

Hearing this, I felt that the hesitation on the faces of several people around me just turned into excitement, but soon everyone realized a problem, how to deal with this thing underneath?

"Sixth Master, you are well-informed, do you know what can be done to kill it?" I asked him in a tone of feigned reverence.

"Hmph, you kid learn a little, a centipede is also a centipede. You two, go put two buckets of water, and you, go and pick up some lime from the extra building materials in the backyard. "Once it's arranged, we'll wait next to us.

After a while, everything was in place, the sixth master asked people to mix limestone into the water, and two buckets of lime water poured directly into the cave, and we continued to use the lamp to look underneath, and after a while, there was really something floating on the muddy water, okay, it is estimated that it must be thirty centimeters long, and the whole body is as red as a flame, only the head is golden.

Seeing this, the sixth master picked up a Luoyang shovel, aimed the metal head at the centipede and put it down, raised his head and shouted at us: "Get out of the way!"

One of us counted one, and we took a few steps back, and we probably knew what he wanted to do.

Sure enough, he slowly lifted the Luoyang shovel, and the golden-headed centipede was hanging on it, and sure enough, what the sixth master said was right, the animal instinct of the centipede was fully possessed.

I saw that the sixth master took the Luoyang shovel out of the thief hole, adjusted the angle in front of the body, and suddenly, with the Luoyang shovel, he pressed the centipede to the ground, knocked it in half, and flattened the back half of the body, and a lot of transparent and yellowish liquid came out of the ground. But the centipede's head was not smashed because it was in the recess wall of the Luoyang shovel, and it actually dragged half of its body to the root of the wall.

The sixth master is indeed a character, he jumped over, flew over and stepped on the fast-crawling half-centipede with a single kick, presumably when he was young, his skills must have been better. If it weren't for the inappropriate scene, I really wanted to applaud him for this set of actions.

The obstacle has been removed, and the work of digging holes must continue, until the lime water has penetrated. We went back to work one by one, but this time the sixth master sat aside to help turn on the lights, although he still couldn't see very clearly, but he could only do so much. But just as the person in charge of digging was about to go down the cave, I thought of another question: "Sixth Master, there won't be this thing down there, right?"

"The offspring is the offspring, the centipede does not live in groups, the nest chosen by the golden-headed centipede is the same as the cemetery where the living candidate is selected, here is its own."

When the burrowing man heard this, he put down his burden in his heart, tied the rope and went down. They are also very particular when digging holes, and it is estimated that all tomb robber gangs have deliberately trained. The original three-person group of three people who dug the hole is now working in groups of two, taking turns to go down, and the rest of the people form an assembly line that pulls soil with bamboo baskets, loads sacks, transports sacks, and pours sacks, basically carrying out tomb robbery activities with the highest efficiency.

After more than a meter down, the man below suddenly raised his head and asked the sixth master: "Sixth master, take a look, is it here?"

The sixth master poked his head over and looked at it carefully for a while: "You come up first, you can't see clearly."

The man was dragged up with a rope, and he put it down, shook his arm, lit another cigarette, and smoked it. The sixth master shone it with an oil lamp again and said, "It should have arrived." After speaking, he picked up a slender awl and handed it to the guy who came up just now: "You go down and see how thick the bricks are."

"Sixth Master, wait a while, let me smoke a cigarette and take a rest."

The sixth master didn't speak, but the expression on his face had already answered. The man couldn't take the awl, so he could only tie the rope again, and go down with the cigarette he had just lit.

The sixth master continued to turn on the lamp, watching his every move, I was also curious, and followed to the side, the bottom is a slightly arched face, which should be the top of the tomb or ear chamber, I pretended to be very admired and said to him: "Sixth master, the location of this thief cave is your exploration, it is really accurate."

"I can't do this little thing, I'm too old to be so old. Next time, you will also show your hand with an iron hammer, so that I can also see and understand. ”

I said in my heart that you were still serious, and before I could reply, I saw an abnormal light in the corner of my eyes, very strong, and seemed to contain great destructiveness.

I subconsciously dragged the sixth master next to me to lie back, turned to look at the thief hole just now, where the two of us were facing just now, a column of blue flames rushed up, just about the same height as us, and there was a heart-rending roar from below.

"Pull the rope!" I hurriedly got up and beckoned to a few stunned guys next to me, they only remembered this stubble when they heard me shouting, however, it was already too late, we pulled up the rope and pulled, only one rope head was pulled up, and it had already been burned off.

"Go fetch water!" The sixth master also stood up and yelled at a group of people, and the two people hurriedly rushed out with buckets, but before they came back, the person below had no movement.

The two men were about to splash down with buckets, but they were stopped by the sixth master.

One of them was really anxious, and tears came out: "Sixth master, that's your ......!"

The sixth master interrupted him with a slap. He dropped the bucket and crouched in the corner crying

The sixth master seemed to be trying his best to calm down, and after a long while, he said: "It's hopeless, don't waste your efforts." After the gas is released, let's go in and be safe. ”
