Chapter 419: Behind Bars
"Wronged...... We are wronged......"
The grandfather's brows suddenly frowned slightly, Xiao Laodao looked at the grandfather and whispered: "It seems that these unjust souls don't want to let us go easily, brother, what can you do to avenge them?" ”
The master said: "I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to avenge them, but as long as we can find the formation that traps them and release them, the resentment will naturally disappear." ”
Xiao Laodao looked helpless, "But in this cave, except for the current shaft, there is no other place, where will the formation be?" ”
The master pondered for a moment and beckoned Xiao Laodao and a few people to leave.
Soon, several people passed through the animal burial pit and came to the front of the maidservant's burial pit, and the grandfather beckoned a few people to stop, and walked to the front of the burial pit with a torch and looked at the dried corpses in the pit.
Seeing this, Xiao Laodao walked to the side of the master in a few steps and asked, "Could it be that you think the formation will be at the bottom of this pit?" ”
The master glanced at Xiao Laodao and said, "Shicai Eleven and they are all lying at the bottom of the pit, if there is a formation, it should be related to this burial pit." With that, the master walked down the steps to the bottom of the pit.
Xiao Shisan, who was on the pit, didn't understand what the master was going to do, and urged: "Senior Brother Liu, what are you doing, let's leave quickly." ”
Wang Da and Wang Er also hurriedly agreed: "Liu Daxia, the ghost screams in this cave are too scary, let's go." ”
The master ignored them, Xiao Laodao looked at a few people, and said, "You guys are waiting above." After that, Xiao Laodao also came down the steps.
At this time, the master had already cleaned up the dried corpses at the bottom of the pit in the middle of the pit, and after Xiao Laodao came over, he took the torch from the master and lit it up for the master.
Soon, the master cleaned up the dried corpse in the center of the bottom of the pit, and at this time, Xiao Laodao held a fire and took a picture on the ground at the bottom of the pit. The bottom of the pit is paved with stone, but in the center of the pit bottom is a round stone slab, the size of a grinding plate.
The master squatted down and looked at the talisman, he didn't know it, and, unlike the talismans on the pillar before, this talisman looked more evil than those on the pillar, the talisman was not a "command", but a beast head that had always been terrifying, with fangs erected and fierce eyes, which was somewhat similar to the beast head that spit black water and white water before.
Xiao Laodao also squatted down with a torch, looked at the stone slab, and said to the master: "With my brother's many years of experience, this should be a cover board, and there should be something underneath." After that, he beckoned Xiao Shiyi above and threw a crowbar down, but Xiao Shiyi did not throw down the crowbar, but directly took two crowbars down.
Seeing this, Xiao Laodao asked for the crowbar in his hand, and whispered to him: "Go back to it, a few of them have so many belongings, I'm afraid that they will have an outside heart." ”
Xiao Shiyi hurriedly nodded, turned around and went back. Xiao Laodao handed a crowbar to the master, and the two joined forces to slowly pry the round board up.
When the two men put down the crowbar and looked down with torches, they saw that there was indeed something covered underneath, which was a half-large water tank that had been sealed.
Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger from his arms, touched the seal of the water tank with the handle of the dagger, and said, "The top of this water tank mouth is sealed like a ...... Human skin! ”
The master glanced at Xiao Laodao in astonishment, and Xiao Laodao said: "This water tank is not a good thing, I have seen it in an ancient tomb in the past, but those are small jars sealed with human skin, and the inside of the jar is sealed with five poisons, snakes, scorpions, geckos, centipedes, toads, and five poisonous curses, just to curse us gravediggers." ”
The master looked at the water tank and hesitated: "I don't think this should be a curse, it seems to have sealed something." ”
Xiao Laodao's face suddenly changed slightly, "Brother, you don't want to open it, do you?" ”
The master said, "Since you promised those ghosts, it is necessary to take a risk. ”
As soon as the master's voice fell, Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground with a "Teng", and said, "Brother, do you remember the old man who asked for food?" ”
The master glanced at Xiao Laodao and asked, "Is there a poisoned one on your leg?" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Lao Dao said matter-of-factly: "The poison in this jar is much more powerful than that old man's rice, if this is opened, I am afraid that we will not be able to get out of this ancient tomb, and we will all die of anger!" ”
The master smiled faintly, "Brother Xiao, you believe me, this must not be a poisonous curse." ”
"How so?"
"Just open it and you'll know."
"Open? Open it and we're done! ”
The master took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from his waist, and when Xiao Laodao saw this, he grabbed his wrist, "Brother, you can think clearly, don't do stupid things!" ”
The master said: "I think the eyes are very clear, didn't you notice, after we uncovered the slate, the crying stopped, which means that we have found the right place." ”
Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, seemed to be listening to the sounds around him, and then looked puzzled, "I didn't pay attention to it, but at this time, the crying is really gone." ”
The master also stood up from the ground and said, "If Brother Xiao thinks that this vat is really a poisonous curse, we can try to cover the stone slab, I dare to guarantee that the cry will come again." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he stared at the master for a moment, and waved his hand, "Don't cover it, you can open it." ”
The master nodded slightly, squatted down, and used the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword in his hand to cut the cover on the water tank.
In an instant, an unbearable stench rose to the sky, Xiao Laodao hurriedly pulled the master to the ground, and at the same time rolled up his sleeve with his other hand and blocked the master's mouth, "Let's go, wait until the smell is gone!" ”
The people on the pit also smelled the stench, and raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, and the grandfather pulled Xiao Laodao's sleeves off his mouth and said three words simply and clearly: "I'm fine." ”
Xiao Laodao turned his hand and covered his mouth and said, "Maybe you're right, the smell of the Five Poisons Curse doesn't stink so much." Brother, do you see what's in the water tank? ”
The master raised his hand to block his mouth and nose, "I was pulled up by you before I could see it clearly, since it's not a poisonous curse, I'll go back and take a look." ”
Xiao Laodao pulled the master tightly, "It's not too late to wait for the smell to dissipate." ”
The two of them quickly returned to the top of the pit and joined a few people, at this time, Xiao Twelve, Wang Da and a few of them couldn't stand it anymore, Xiao Laodao waved their hands, and several people put on their luggage and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, the cave again sounded a whimpering cry, and the stench combined with the cry upset several people.
The master shouted at the cave: "You wait, the master will come back to save you later!" ”
When everyone passed through the stone barrier and came to the outer cave, the stench was reduced a lot, and at this time, the master stopped and said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, you all go out first, I'll wait here and go back later." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, how could he leave the master, and then ordered a few people to stop. A few people waited in the outer hole of the stone barrier to have a meal, and the stench became a little lighter. The master walked through the small door of the stone barrier, went to the inner cave and turned around, feeling that it was okay, he came out and said hello to Xiao Laodao, and the master wanted to go in alone.
Xiao Laodao disagreed at this time, Xiao Laodao said: "Brother, you go in alone, how can I rest assured, brother." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao instructed Xiao Shiyi and a few, "You just wait here, and I'll go in again with your senior brother." ”
Xiao Shiyi didn't say anything, Wang Da and Wang Er were obviously like arrows, after all, they had already gotten the treasure, and there was no need to waste time here.
Wang Da said: "This cave was also haunted before, and the corpses of the soldiers in these caves will also stand up and kill people, let's leave quickly." Wang Da said, Wang Er hurriedly echoed, "That is, as long as we go out, we can eat and drink without worrying about the rich and noble, what are we going back to do." ”
Xiao Laodao looked at the two of them, and then instructed Xiao Shiyi, "You now divide these gold and silver items among them according to the previous rules of Dao'er, and if they want to leave, tell them to leave first." ”
When Wang Dawang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
Taiye and Xiao Laodao cleaned up themselves, walked through the stone barrier together, and returned to the maidservant's burial pit the same way.
At this time, the smell of the burial pit was still relatively strong, but compared to before, it was already bearable. Taiye and Xiao Laodao each held a torch and went down to the bottom of the pit, and the two torches shone at the bottom of the pit at the same time.
Xiao Laodao frowned slightly, and saw that in the water tank in the center of the pit, there was half a tank of black liquid like ink, and there seemed to be wisps of something floating in the liquid. Xiao Laodao turned his head and said to the master: "I smell this smell, brother, do you know what the black water in this tank is?" ”
The grandfather shook his head at the black liquid.
"Human blood ......" Xiao Laodao said: "Didn't you say that this is a formation, then this blood should be these maidservants." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao took out a dagger, picked out a wisp of something from the liquid, and said, "These are the hairs of the maidservants." ”
The master nodded and said, "Human blood and hair, this is a vicious soul sealing technique in ancient times, but what is the use of the tomb owner sealing the souls of these handmaidens?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "What else can it be for, I still want to have three palaces and six courtyards after death." Saying that, Xiao Laodao's body shook for a moment, and he hurriedly asked the master, "Brother, don't you think your head is a little dizzy?" ”
Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and the grandfather felt a slight "buzz" in his brain, followed by his hands and feet, and in a daze, he saw Xiao Laodao planted on the ground, and then, the grandfather also lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, the master woke up slowly, he felt that the body was extremely cold, opened it and looked, what came into his eyes was a knife mountain, the master quickly stood up from the ground, looked around, he was actually in a dark canyon like a well, surrounded by steep cliffs, the cliffs were full of sharp blades, and the blades were gloomy with cold light, as if they grew out of the cracks in the mountains......
