Chapter 39 The Tomb Under the River: The Corpse

The old ghost shouted twice, but the figure stood upright, motionless. We cautiously approached the man, who had his back to us, and when we got closer, we saw that he was wearing the clothes of the construction team, his body had dried up, his yellow face was very shriveled, the constricted skin wrapped around the bones, and his whole body seemed to be dehydrated.

"The essence is sucked dry." I said with a heavy expression.

The old ghost sneered: "I've seen a lot of dried corpses, but it's the first time I've seen them sucked dry." ”

Ever since he finished speaking, the passage had become eerily silent, and no one had spoken again. Especially Su Mo, after I noticed that she saw the face of the dry corpse, I first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became worried. We've found a body, and who knows if the other seven, including his father, were killed as well?

"Let's go." I said to a few others.

"Don't rush yet." After saying that, the old ghost took out a black hoof from the cloth bag on his back and stuffed it into the mouth of the corpse just now, I think this is the black donkey's hooves necessary for tomb robbers, which can prevent corpses.

I glanced at his full backpack and casually asked, "How many did you bring?" ”

"Exactly eight." After saying that, the old ghost gently pushed the corpse and fell straight to the ground.

We continued along the passage for dozens of minutes, but the road was unharmed, and the passage finally came to an end. What catches your eye is an enclosed burial chamber, more like a cave than a burial chamber, where there are no coffins but stone walls carved with frescoes.

Our flashlights shone around each other, and when I was focusing my eyes on the murals on both sides, Su Mo suddenly hugged me from behind, let out a scream, and pointed to the black shadow in the far corner and shouted, "That, what is that?" ”

I was also startled, and when I looked closely, I found another corpse lying on the ground, and below it was a flowing spring, and the upper body of the corpse was now soaked in this spring, which was only the width of a table.

"I'll see if it's missing."

Chen Qiang volunteered to walk up, and he confirmed that the corpse was a popular costume at the moment, and it might be a college student who came in with him, which made Su Mo breathe a sigh of relief again. Just as he turned to talk to us, I suddenly smelled a thick smell of blood, and almost instantly, the corpse stood upright behind Chen Qiang.

"Run!"

We shouted at the same time, but no matter how fast Chen Qiang reacted, he was standing in front of the corpse, and the corpse of the corpse grabbed Chen Qiang's neck as soon as he stretched out his hand, and the amazing strength made the green tendons on Chen Qiang's neck burst out. The zombie was fierce, and opened his mouth to bite Chen Qiang's erect neck, who expected that Mrs. Guo's wrist on our side flicked, and a glass ball-sized bead flew into the zombie's mouth. With a loud "bang", the zombie's head was blown apart, splashing Chen Qiang's stinky flesh and blood.

"Damn, why is this alive in an instant." Chen Qiang tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and said with palpitations while wiping his body. After wiping, he also hugged his fists to Mrs. Guo and thanked him.

The old ghost walked over to the spring, and by this time the clear spring water had been mixed with bright red blood, which had just flowed through a small hole in the wall with the thickness of a bowl.

"The blood flowed into the corpse's mouth, so the corpse was raised." The old ghost explained.

I thought, "If we can flow in, we can definitely go out, and these murals should be organs." ”

Everyone agrees with me, because the only thing in the cave that looks like a mechanism is these murals. On the stone wall on the left is an ancient map with some ancient towns marked. The mural on the right is divided into two parts, one is a war scene of soldiers in Han Chinese uniforms fighting each other, and the other part is a post station-like place, where a group of people grovel around the general to change his ornate yellow robes.

"This ...... It seems to be the Chen Qiao mutiny. Ma Zhenren couldn't help but wonder.

The old ghost nodded: "That's right, Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added!" ”

Chen Qiang smiled on the side: "Yo, look at what this means, this is still an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty?" ”

I looked at the mural on the right, then at the map on the left, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the capital of the Song Dynasty?" ”

Su Mo glanced at me and said, "Kaifeng Mansion, I've learned all history lessons." ”

I hurriedly walked to the map, found the place marked Kaifeng, reached out and touched it, and found that there was indeed a trace of abnormality, it seemed that this piece was loose and should be able to be pulled out. I found a small gap in the wall with my dagger, used it to pick out a stone brick, and then looked around, but there was no sound.

"What's going on...... I was at a loss in my heart, since I could take it down, it means that this is an organ, how can it not work?

At this time, Su Mo came over, stared at the map on the wall and said in surprise: "Kaifeng Mansion shouldn't be here, Kaifeng is in Henan." ”

I looked at this ancient map and suddenly realized, and glanced at Su Mo with a little blush, how could I forget such obvious geographical common sense? I hurriedly groped for the real location of Kaifeng, and sure enough, I also picked out a stone brick, and after the two were replaced, there was a "boom" sound around immediately, only to see a stone door appear at a blank wall, and slowly retreated to the side.

"There are two hits!" Su Mo patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile.

There was a sound of rushing water from inside the stone gate, and we walked inside, and immediately found a stone staircase only one person wide leading to an open hole on the top of the cave, and below the stone staircase was a turbulent dark river, in which two mutilated corpses floated on the left and right, and a group of fish gathered around them were gnawing, and the blood just now flowed from here.

I asked Su Mo with my eyes, she smiled and shook her head, although the body had been gnawed beyond recognition, she could still make out from the clothes and body shape that the deceased was not her father. At this time, Mrs. Guo saw us standing by the river, and pulled us back, reminding us that the river is very fast, pay attention to safety.

Chen Qiang asked suspiciously: "This dark river should lead to the river outside, if there is a piranha here, how can it not be found outside?" ”

The old ghost shook his head and said, "This is not a piranha, it's just an ordinary fish that has caught the yin qi of the tomb and fallen into a demon." ”

I also agreed: "The yin qi in this river is too heavy to stay for a long time, so let's go up quickly." ”

Ma Zhenren asked nervously: "What about the hooves of the black donkey, hurry up and plug it, don't cheat the corpse again in a while." ”

The old ghost glanced at him with disdain and said, "The corpses are almost gone, what are you cheating?" ”

After that, he led the way up the stone stairs, but as soon as he reached the middle of the stone stairs, his feet suddenly did not dare to move, and he shouted with a little panic: "Not good! I stepped on the trap. ”

We looked around, and saw a secret door open next to the hole above our heads, and from the door swarmed out countless centipedes, all yellow-brown with long venomous jaws. Seeing this, the old ghost was suddenly taken aback and said, "Go back, it's a worm!" ”

We retreated down the stone stairs in a panic, but the old ghost was in a higher position, and when he ran in a hurry, one of his centers of gravity was unstable and he fell, but fortunately he grabbed the stone staircase with his quick hand. He propped one hand on the stone staircase, and below it was a raging river, and above it was a large number of meanders rushing down the staircase, and immediately fell into a dilemma.

Chen Qiang took out a pistol from his pocket and fired two shots at the group of worms, killing a few of them. The worm seemed to be a little afraid of the sparks shot by the warhead, but because there were too many of them, the worms behind kept pouring up, not a thousand but hundreds, pushing the worms in front of them who were frightened by the firelight and continued to move forward.

But since they're afraid of fire, it's easy to deal with.

I took out my peachwood sword, wrapped a layer of rotten cloth around it, and then pasted a few pieces of rune paper, and suddenly a magic fire was formed. I brandished my torch-like peachwood sword and tried to scare the worms away from the stone stairs, but the old ghost shouted at me, "You don't have to come!" ”

I didn't see fear in the old ghost's eyes, and he, who had been through a hundred battles, must have thought of something.
