Chapter 177: There is no cave
The master said unhappily: "Needless to say, I have been with Brother Xiao for more than a year, and I almost understand Brother Xiao's way of behaving and doing things, but today's matter, Brother Xiao has gone a little too far." "It's a draft, let's change it tomorrow.
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he laughed even harder, "I don't do too much, brother, you can't just look at the surface of everything." ”
"Surface?" The grandfather said: "That uncle's leg suddenly itched, has something to do with you, right?" ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and nodded, "Yes, it was the poisonous weed I asked Eleven to find, and it will itch when you apply it." ”
The master said again: "There are no ghosts around him at all, but you sing a harmony with Eleven, so you scare him with Xuanxuan, the purpose is to let him lead the way and dig this tomb, right?" ”
Xiao Laodao nodded again, "Yes." ”
"You're doing this for the sake of what's in this tomb, aren't you?"
"That's right, but it's all superficial."
The master followed up and asked: "Then what is not superficial, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and you are a little unscrupulous in doing this." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he immediately suppressed his smile, "Brother, brother, I still said what I said just now, you can't just look at the surface of everything." Xiao Laodao paused for a moment, and then said: "That old brother's leg seems to be almost good, but there is still residual poison in it, and if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that it will recur, so I can only pick up the skin and flesh and take medicine again." It will definitely hurt if the skin is picked up, so it's better to make him itch than to make him hurt......"
"Then why did you lie to him that he was followed by the ghosts of his accomplices?"
Xiao Laodao said: "His three accomplices, how can you say that they are also walking with me, if one day in the future, I am hit by the organ and die in the tomb, can you bear to leave my body in the tomb?" ”
The master was silent and silent, Xiao Laodao continued: "Even if you bear it, I am still unwilling to be buried in the tomb, in the past, I had several accomplices, all of whom died in the tomb, and I dragged them out one by one and buried them!" Xiao Laodao said, sighing, "I asked that eldest brother to bring us over, firstly, for the things in the tomb, even if we don't come, someone will come again in the future; The second is to bury these peers in peace, although the people who steal the graves and dig the graves are innocent, but who wants to bury the dead hundreds of years ago. ”
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Xiao Laodao said: "You have an upright temperament, I told you in advance, and I will definitely show it to others." ”
Hearing Xiao Laodao say this, the master didn't say a word, picked up the guy, and dug the pit with Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, Xiao Laodao turned around, and walked towards the thief hole, and then lit a fire and drilled himself into it alone.
When the three of them were about to bury the three corpses, Xiao Laodao came out of the thief hole again.
After burying the corpse, Xiao Laodao said to my grandfather: "Brother, you go to the river and inform the old brother, and say that you are going to do a soul-sending ritual on the slope, and let them wait a little longer." ”
The grandfather was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "Do you remember that old brother said before that the coffin in the tomb is not on the main seat. ”
The master was stunned, and Xiao Laodao continued: "I went inside just now, there is indeed a coffin in the main tomb, that is the main coffin, this wooden box they opened, except for the mechanism, there is no goods in it!" ”
The grandfather hesitated when he heard this, "Okay, I'll go and tell the uncle that the tomb owner can set up such a vicious mechanism, which means that he shouldn't be a good thing in his lifetime." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled, "That's right." ”
The master won't lie, he returned to the river and barely said a few words, at this time when he was always asking for food, he was already in a mess, and what the master said was what he said.
When the master returned to the hillside, Xiao Laodao had already taken Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi into the tomb, and when the master came to the tomb, he saw that the three masters and apprentices had already been planed in the tomb, and the master also took the guy and planed it with them.
I dug down about a foot deep, and suddenly I ran into a hard object, and when I opened the floating soil, I saw that it was actually a stone slab.
At first, Xiao Laodao thought it was the top of the coffin, and when he completely opened the stone slabs, he saw that there were actually two large stone slabs side by side.
Then, the four of them worked together and pried the two stone slabs open, and they saw that under the stone slabs, there was actually a stone step, which made Xiao Laodao feel incredible.
A few people didn't rush down, they lit a candle at the entrance of the steps, tested the air, and waited for a while, but the candle was not extinguished, indicating that they could put people inside.
Xiao Laodao immediately ordered a few people to put their moves on the spot, if there can be such a vicious organ above, the mechanism below must be even more powerful.
After speaking, Xiao Laodao was the first to go down with a torch, and when the master saw this, he hurriedly followed, and behind the master, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi followed closely and also came down.
There are only more than ten steps, and when they come to the bottom, everyone is a little stunned, and they see that the bottom is completely different from the top, all of them are made of stone bars, and the space is not large, but there are several strange-shaped stone statues inside, which are about the same size as life-size, and the whole looks gloomy.
Between the two stone figures, there was a small door, Xiao Laodao walked to the small door with a torch, and looked at the stone statues on the left and right, "Is this the legendary bull head and horse face?" ”
On the left side of the small door, there is a bull-headed human body, holding a steel fork, and on the right, a horse-headed human body, holding an iron chain, although all of them are carved in stone, but it makes people feel an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
The master looked at the stone man, subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the top of the small door, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, there seem to be words on this stone door." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he hurriedly raised the torch high, and a few people took a look at it by the light of the torch, and saw two seal characters engraved on the stone door - ghost door!
This made everyone's hairs almost stand up, how could there be these things under the tomb, could it be that this tomb leads to the underworld?
Xiao Shiyi pulled Xiao Laodao's clothes, gesticulated, and said: Master, don't go in, I'm afraid.
Xiao Laodao glanced at him unhappily, "You have been following me for so many years, and a few stone men have scared you?" ”
Xiao Shiyi hurriedly shook his head, and the master said: "I also don't feel right, after coming down the steps, I feel very depressed, this is not a good place." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and said: "The dignified dragon slayer hero can even say such a thing, otherwise, whoever is afraid will go up, I will enter this small door and take a look." I've been digging a tomb for so many years, but I've never seen a tomb like this! ”
Seeing that the master couldn't persuade Xiao Laodao, he had to accompany him in, and Xiao Shiyi was accompanied by Xiao Chujiu and followed behind the two of them.
Walk into the small door, in front of you is a road, look into the road, let people's scalp explode, you see the walls on both sides of the road, the nails are all dried corpses, one-to-one pairs, symmetrical nails, I don't know how many years, the shapes of the dry corpses are different, it seems that all of them were nailed after being tortured to death, one by one, one is more hideous and terrifying, there is only a distance of one person wide in the middle of the dry corpse, and people can barely pass through the middle.
Rao is grandfather's courage, looking at the long list of dried corpses in the corridor and wanting to retreat, Xiao Laodao held a torch and took a picture of the nearby dried corpses, without saying a word, he walked directly from the middle of the dried corpses.
The master gritted his teeth and followed behind him, but before he walked past a pair of dried corpses, the grandfather felt that the black holes of the dried corpses were staring at him, and after walking a few steps, the grandfather felt a chill in his back and felt uncomfortable.
The master couldn't help but look at Xiao Laodao in front of him, the grandfather didn't understand what kind of motivation drove Xiao Laodao forward, could it really be that people died for money and for the treasures in the tomb?
After walking forward, the road was gone, and at this time, Xiao Laodao suddenly turned around and asked the master in a low voice, "Brother, do you see it?" ”
The grandfather was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do I see?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "These dried corpses are a total of eighteen pairs, each two are the same, judging from their deaths, they don't look like the legendary evil ghosts who were tortured in the eighteenth layer of hell, when they first entered the door, the first pair of dried corpses, with a long strip in their mouths, is not it the tongue-pulling hell in the first layer of the ground, all those who abuse others in the world, judge the length of people, stir up right and wrong, and liar, will be sent to the first layer of hell, and then look at this ......" said, Xiao Laodao pointed behind the master, and when the master looked back, he saw the dried corpses nailed on both sides of the road, All the limbs were broken.
Xiao Laodao said: "This is the fifteenth layer, Cracking Hell, which is said to be specially designed to punish the deceitful teacher and the ancestors, the rebellious criminals, and the tomb robbers who dig up the grave of us. ”
When the master heard this, he looked at the two dried corpses carefully, it was quite terrifying, the corpses seemed to be divided by five horses, and the master said: "Since this is the case, let's quit." ”
Xiao Laodao said: "We have all come here, we will be safe when we come, and then go deeper to see what else there is, even if I die in the future and go to hell, I have a preparation in my heart." The master couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Xiao Laodao said, continued to walk forward, at the end of the road, connected to a large hall, there are dozens of stone figures in the hall, some kneeling and some standing, some holding weapons in their hands, some with iron chains tied to their bodies, although they are stone people, but they look lifelike, as if a group of real people are in front of you.
Passing through the stone man, the innermost part of the main hall, is a platform with steps, the platform can be one zhang high, on the platform, there is a large sarcophagus, the coffin head sits a tall and majestic stone man, the stone man holds an open bamboo slip in his right hand, and holds a strange-looking oil lamp in his left hand.
Xiao Laodao looked at it and muttered, "The right holds the book of life and death, and the left lifts the reincarnation lamp, and the one sitting on it is ...... Isn't it the 'King of Reincarnation' of the Tenth Hall of Yanjun? ”
On both sides of the tall stone figures, there are two stone figures with horns on their heads, one black and one white, Xiao Laodao looked at the two stone figures, "This is not the yin and yang ghost judgment in the underworld, the white judgment of yang, and the black judgment of yin ......"
