Chapter 410: Mysterious Cave Corpse Transformation
Wang Da replied: "A few years ago, our brother came here, that is, with a few tomb robbers, among them, there are also people who understand feng shui, similar to what the Taoist said now, it is also said that there is a big tomb on the other side of the river, a few of us went, at that time I really found a cave on the mountain, after entering the cave, it was full of traps. After breaking the mechanism, we finally reached the main burial chamber, and who knew that the coffin inside turned out to be empty......"
Wang Er said: "Not only is it empty, but there are also mechanisms in the coffin, and the dead and wounded of those tomb robbers who died together...... In the end, only our brothers escaped, and on the way down the mountain, we saw a cave on the opposite side of the mountainside, and then we went to the cave, which looked like a big tomb, and there was no mechanism, but it seemed to be haunted......
"Haunted?" Xiao Laodao smiled when he heard this, "How can you be afraid of ghosts if you do what we do." ”
Wang Er said: "Master Dao, don't believe it, the ghosts inside are fierce, our brothers went in that time, and it was not easy to come out." ”
Wang Da continued: "Daoist, I saw that you have yellow paper incense in your baggage, as well as a peachwood sword, and you are a Taoist priest, can you exorcise ghosts?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at Wang Da, and asked instead of answering: "In addition to seeing our guy digging the pit and prieing the coffin, did you want to bring us here because you saw the objects in my baggage?" ”
The two hairs and the thief nodded, and Wang Da said: "As soon as we look at you, we know that you are a veteran who has traveled from south to north, righteous and benevolent, you must have a way to drive away the evil ghosts inside, find the tomb, and, and can share our share." ”
Xiao Laodao immediately waved his hand, "Then lead the way." ”
The two hairs and the thief were still familiar with the light, and soon found the road to the mountain in the valley, but the slope was a little steep, and it was very difficult to climb up, but fortunately there were many thick vines growing on the hillside, and several people grabbed the vines, and with great effort, climbed to the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountainside.
There is a depression in the mountain in front of the cave entrance, just enough for a few people to settle down, and the depression is also overgrown with plants, lush and green, half covering the cave entrance.
Xiao Laodao walked to the entrance of the cave, brushed aside the messy grass, glanced at the cave, it was pitch black, and said: "This hole looks quite deep." ”
Wang Da hurriedly said: "It's quite deep, and it's very gloomy inside, Master Dao, you can go in, our brothers are waiting at the entrance of the cave." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced back at the two Mao and the thief, and without waiting for Xiao Laodao to say anything, the master said coldly: "Since you are here, let's go in together, meet each other, share difficulties and blessings." ”
The faces of the two Mao and the thief changed suddenly, and they all looked at Xiao Laodao, as if they wanted Xiao Laodao to help say something. Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment and said: "The four of us master and apprentice are walking in front, and the two brothers and I, Brother Liu, are walking behind, if there is anything, my brother will naturally take care of them." ”
When the two Mao and the thief heard this, they immediately ate Coptis chinensis dumbly, and glanced at each other helplessly, but they did not dare to object.
Several people lit three torches, Xiao Shiyi took one, Xiao Shiyi took one, and Tai Ye took one. Xiao Laodao led the apprentices into the cave first, with the two Mao and the thief following behind, and the grandfather walking at the rear.
After entering the cave, everyone felt a little cold, at first the space of the cave was not too big, and there were no traces of artificial excavation on the cave wall, after going out of a distance inside, the cave space became larger, and there were obvious traces of excavation on the cave wall.
After walking about ten zhang or so, there are stone pillars supporting the top of the cave in the cave, the top is flat, and the surrounding stone walls are rectangular, just like a large hall, two rows of stone pillars are symmetrically arranged on both sides, and the ground has become extremely flat, as long as there are some people who have experience in robbing tombs, they can see that this is a huge and magnificent project.
On both sides of the cave wall, there are many small doorways, like stone pillars, which are also arranged symmetrically. A few people came to a small doorway and shone it with torches, and there was very little space inside, only a stone bed.
On the stone bed, there was a corpse in armor and a spear in hand, I don't know how many years had passed, the corpse had dried up and become a dried corpse. Looking at the other small doorways, they are all dry corpses wearing armor and holding spears, and there can be more than ten doorways in one row, and more than thirty in two rows.
Xiao Laodao and Xiao Shiyi wanted to pass the torch, walked into a small doorway, looked at the dried corpses inside, and after coming out, they said to everyone: "These dried corpses have no scars on their bodies, it seems that they all died of poison before their deaths." Then he said: "It can be buried with living soldiers, and it seems that the smallest of these places is also a princely tomb." ”
When the two Mao and the thief heard this, they were excited, but at the same time, they were worried.
The crowd continued to walk inside, and after walking a short distance, there was no road ahead, and it seemed that they had reached the end of the cave. Just before the master had time to wonder, Wang Da said: "This is not the bottom of the cave, just a stone barrier, and there is a big hall behind." As he spoke, he asked for a torch from Xiao Laodao's hand, and took the torch to a very inconspicuous place near the stone wall.
When they looked at it, they saw that there was a small door in the cave wall, but the small door was built with stones, and at first glance it was the same as the stone wall, but it was actually built with living stones.
Xiao Laodao said: "This small door has been opened. As he spoke, he looked at the two Mao and the thief, and Wang Er hurriedly said: "This was opened by our brothers in the past, and later we built it up again." ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, "Are you afraid that others will find out here after they come in?" ”
The two Mao and the thief glanced at each other, and Wang Da said: "It's not all right, after passing this small door, there is something wrong inside." ”
Wang Er followed and said, "Master Dao, our brothers don't dare to go in again, just wait here." ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at the two of them and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Haunted......" replied the brothers in unison.
Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, pointed at the master, and said: "I can't hide it, my brother Liu is the descendant of the famous master of exorcism on the edge of the Yellow River. ”
When the two Mao and the thief heard this, they glanced at the grandfather with an expression of disbelief, and the grandfather grabbed the two people as if escorting prisoners, and said, "Master, I have even killed the dragon king, so we don't have to be afraid." ”
When the two Mao and the thief heard it, they didn't believe it even more, this big talk was blown, and even the Dragon King had been killed, but the two Mao and the thief had experienced the power of the master, and no one dared to say anything because of the momentum of the master.
At this time, Xiao Laodao gave Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen a look, and the two of them walked to the front of the small door, and pushed the living stone on the small door open with three times and five divisions.
Behind the small door, it was pitch black, and it felt very gloomy, the two Mao and the thief were all excited, Xiao Laodao glanced at them and comforted: "Don't be afraid, with a few of us guarding you, nothing will happen." Saying that, Xiao Laodao was the first to pass through the small door, Xiao Shiyi and the three followed, and the master was one in one hand, pulling the two hairs and the thief, and finally passed through.
As the two Mao and the thief said, the small door is just a stone barrier, through the barrier, and there is a large space behind it, which is much different from the outside, and it is like a large hall, and there are stone pillars inside, but these stone pillars are no longer symmetrically arranged, but a ring, surrounded in the middle of the main hall.
In the middle of the circle of these stone pillars surrounding the city, there is a round pit that is a little deep, from top to bottom, the round pit is surrounded by steps, and you can go down to the bottom of the pit along the steps, but the bottom of the pit is not empty, and there are more than a dozen dried corpses wearing Luo skirts lying horizontally and vertically.
Xiao Laodao asked everyone to wait on the pit, he himself went down the steps to the pit, looked at a few dried corpses inside, and then returned to the pit and said to everyone: "This is the burial pit of handmaidens, unlike those soldiers outside, these handmaidens were all hacked to death by swords. Saying that, Xiao Laodao looked around, and said: "When a person dies, so many people are buried with him, I'm afraid that the tomb owner was not a good person during his lifetime......"
Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and suddenly, a cry came from nowhere, and it sounded like more than one person, whimpering, like crying, echoing strangely in the cave.
The two hairs and thieves were like frightened birds, and exclaimed: "Here it is! Daoye, they are coming...... "called, turned around and was about to run out, but the master was quick with his hands, one in one hand, and grabbed them again.
Xiao Shisan also seemed to be panicked at this time, and said to Xiao Laodao: "Master, crying...... This, this cave is really, really ghostly! ”
Xiao Laodao glared at him, "What's the panic, where is this crying, it's the wind!" Xiao Laodao turned his head and instructed Xiao Shiyi, "Let's see what's going on." ”
Xiao Shiyi actually looked confused at this time, he didn't even look at it, shook his head at Xiao Laodao, and gestured: "I didn't see anything." ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Find out where the voice came from." ”
Xiao Shiyi nodded, and was the first to leave the circle pit and find it in the main hall. Seeing this, the master let go of the two hairs and the thief, took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword in his waist, and walked towards a place where he felt suspicious.
After a while, the three of them searched around the cave hall, but they didn't find anything, but the cry was still whimpering, weird and infiltrating.
At this time, Xiao Laodao greeted the three people, "Don't look for it, the cry seems to come from the corpse of the maid in the pit!" ”
As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, the two hairs and the thief screamed as if they had been stepped on by someone, and they turned around and ran, Xiao Shisan also wanted to run, but he moved his body and didn't dare to take a step.
The three of them quickly returned to the edge of the pit, and when they looked into the pit, they saw that the arms and legs of all the maidservants in the pit twitched slightly, and with the convulsions, there was a sound of "quack" and "quack" like the dislocation of bones and joints, and then the whole body began to writhe on the ground, as if they were going to come to life.
