Episode 20 Hundred Ghost Festivals

"What's going on? What about Wuchang Mausoleum? ”

Seeing this, we were all silent!

Yao Fei was silent for a while, then picked up the end of the rope that was originally tied to Wu Changling's body and looked at it. "There is no sign of a tear or cut of the rope," he said. It should have been unraveled. ”

When we heard this, we looked at each other! Could it be that Wu Changling untied the rope by himself? But why did he do that?

After thinking about it, there is only one answer. That is, there really is an ancient tomb under this swamp that no one knows about!

"What now?" He Dazhuang turned his head to Yao Fei and asked.

Yao Fei hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'll go down and have a look first!" You are waiting for me here. Wait a minute, you pull back the rope and take a look. If the rope is untied naturally, then I'm fine below. But if the rope is cut by a knife, don't linger here and leave at once! ”

"Yao Fei!"

Hearing Yao Fei say this, I felt that my nose was a little sour.

Yao Fei glanced at me and said, "People always have to go through some choices in life. It's a gamble! Hope I didn't make the wrong bet! After saying that, he went down the swamp without looking back.

My heart also slowly drooped to the bottom with Yaofei's sinking.

The mountaineering rope was tightened again and again as Yao Fei sank. Then, once again, it was loosened.

We couldn't wait to retract the rope and check out the other section of the rope. I was surprised to find that the rope was intact! We couldn't be happier! It seems that there is indeed an ancient tomb under the swamp! Everyone is now jumping on the bandwagon!

Now that the ancient tomb has been found, then Alai and Wentai's task is complete. After I gave them the rest of the money, I stuffed some money into Wentai, which was regarded as a settling-in fee for Wutai. After all, if Wu Tai hadn't stopped me in the first place, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here.

Just in case, everyone rechecked the equipment again.

Gangzi took things from his mountain-like backpack and said to everyone, "After we go down in a while, no one should walk around." Until everyone arrives and sets off together. ”

Naturally, everyone did not refute this.

Gangzi threw me a diving oxygen mask and goggles and said, "Bring this with you so as not to suffocate!" ”

I looked at my phone and asked, "So what do you do?" ”

Gangzi smiled and said, "In addition to you, there are also experienced people here." Who else can use this! ”

When I heard this, I was relieved.

Next, one by one, we began to dive into the swamp.

Swamps are not water! No matter how large your lung capacity is, once you enter the swamp, it will be in vain!

Although I had the oxygen mask and goggles that Gangzi gave me. However, as soon as I entered the swamp, I immediately felt a strong sense of discomfort. The pressure from all sides seemed to squeeze the bones of my body. No matter how much my lung capacity is, I can't help but start suffocating in the face of such pressure. The whole body is about to be compressed together.

At this moment, I really panicked! Look through the goggles at the pitch black around you! Feeling the indescribable pain in my body, I felt fear like never before!

Just when I couldn't help but want to shout out, suddenly, my body tightened, and the whole person suddenly went into a suspended state. I actually fell out of the swamp!

I was first shocked, and then I was in an ecstasy like never before! Hurriedly turned on the high-powered flashlight and shone it around. Only then did I realize that I was now in a large burial chamber. As far as the eye can see, the walls are covered with large vines. I don't know how many years these vines have grown, and they are the thickness of adult thighs!

"Hey! Are you kid going to stay there as a chandelier? ”

At this moment, Gangzi's voice came from below.

I looked down, and then I saw Yaofei, Gangzi, and Xue Qinglian standing six or seven meters below me looking up at me.

Yao Fei said loudly to me, "Xingyu, quickly untie the rope and come down." ”

Hearing his words, I didn't think about it, and directly untied the rope around my waist.

All of a sudden, I fell straight down. There were a lot of vines just below me, plus the height wasn't very high. So, I wasn't hurt.

As I stood up, I said to them, "You put these vines here?" ”

Yao Fei shook his head and said, "No, it was already placed here when I came down." Look at the incision of this vine should have just been cut. It seems that it was made by Wuchangling! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "How did he do it in such a short period of time by himself?" ”

Yao Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't figure this out either. ”

Gangzi spoke on the side and said, "He is a mystery in the first place!" How can it be so easy for you to see through him? But how did this swamp float on it? It's nothing short of a miracle! ”

We can't help but nod and sigh!

Just when we were sighing for the floating swamp above our heads, the monkey, He Dazhuang, and Li Ping also came down from above.

Everyone reunited, but Wuchangling was nowhere to be seen.

I looked around left and right, and couldn't help but ask Yaofei: "What about Wuchang Mausoleum?" Where did it go? ”

Yao Fei shook his head and said, "I didn't see him when I came down. ”

Gangzi was sorting out the package, and said nonchalantly: "Okay, with that guy's ability, you still need to worry about it here?" Let's hurry up and tidy up, so let's go! ”

I thought about it, so I stopped talking and began to pack my gear.

After everyone was in order, everyone set off again.

This burial chamber is not big, but it is not small. It's about the size of a football field. As we walked, we used a high-powered flashlight to shine on the walls around us. With the flashlight, we saw vines crawling everywhere on the surrounding walls. And the leaking wall is also carved with strange carvings.

Looking at it, I couldn't help but let out a "huh".

Hearing movement on my side, Yaofei hurriedly asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the people of the Yuan Dynasty don't all like murals?" Even in the late Yuan Dynasty, when the wealthy and wealthy built tombs for themselves following the example of the Han Chinese, they were carved with murals in them. But why is there nothing to be seen here? ”

I had just finished my question when suddenly, a voice came from the darkness in front of us: "That's because this is just a burial hall, not a real burial chamber." ”

We were all shocked when we heard this voice! Then Qi Qi shone the flashlight. I saw Wu Changling standing quietly in front of us and looking at us.

Seeing that it was Wuchang Mausoleum, we were also a little relieved. After all, we're in the middle of an ancient tomb now, and who knows what will suddenly come out!

Wu Changling looked at me and said, "There's nothing unusual here. However, the previous thing is enough to surprise you! ”

Hearing Wu Changling say this, we couldn't help but look at each other! Even Wuchangling said so, so it means that the thing in front must be very special! We can't help but be more vigilant!

I followed Wuchang Mausoleum for about five or six minutes, and then, I saw a huge sarcophagus standing in front of our eyes so shockingly! This sarcophagus is also more than 100 square meters. It's hard for me to imagine who would be lying in such a large coffin. There is such a big lineup!

"This ...... Could this be the Hyakki Festival? Xue Qinglian was also shocked.

"Hyakki Festival?"

I was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the Hundred Ghost Festival?" ”

"Come up and see for yourself!"

I don't know when, Gangzi has climbed on top of the coffin.

Hearing his words, we all climbed up the huge sarcophagus.

As soon as I approached the sarcophagus, I realized that the sarcophagus was filled with dense runes. These runes are very similar to those on the walls. It can be said that they echo each other.

As soon as I climbed up the sarcophagus, I couldn't help but gasp. He stumbled under his feet and almost fell off the sarcophagus.

I saw corpses lying all over the sarcophagus. The corpses were all dressed in ancient clothes.

"This ...... What's going on? Why are there so many corpses? ”

Xue Qinglian opened her mouth and said, "These are corpses from hundreds of years ago. It is believed that the prisoners of war at that time were forcibly placed here. ”

"Centuries-old corpses?"

He Dazhuang's eyes widened in surprise. It seems that he has never seen such a shocking scene!

Hundreds of years old corpses are still lying here, and they haven't decomposed?

Gangzi pointed to the corpses below and said to me, "Little Qiao, look at the faces of these corpses!" ”

When I heard the words of the freshly washed, I realized that all the corpses' faces were blue and black. This is a sign of poisoning!

"This ......"

I don't know what to say anymore.

Xue Qinglian said lightly: "This Hundred Ghost Sacrifice is a ritual used to sacrifice to the heavens in ancient times. It was made up of a hundred or more prisoners of war who had been given a special poison. The reason why they were given poison was because they needed to keep their bodies from decaying after a hundred years, and they would just lie in the tomb of the tomb owner and guard the tomb for them. It is not known when this ritual originated. However, it was most widely used during the Shang Dynasty and the First Emperor period! Later, when the Tang Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous, because Li Shimin felt that this way of worshiping the heavens was very cruel, he ordered that this kind of ritual should not be carried out. ”

"Why a hundred, not a thousand or some other number?" I interjected and asked.

This time, Wu Changling said on the side: "Because there is an ancient saying called 'one in a hundred miles'!" In other words, among these 100 corpses, there will definitely be one who can successfully raise the corpse! ”

"What? Raise the corpse! ”

Hearing Wu Changling say this, I was shocked.

Xue Qinglian nodded and said, "That's right! Because the people who died in the Hundred Ghost Festival were extremely angry! It belongs to the kind of death that is horizontally dead. If these grievances can't be vented, they will all enter the same corpse, and then this corpse will naturally rise to the corpse! These are legends, though. Whether it's true or not, we have no way of knowing! However, if the seniors of our Dao sect who have cultivated more advanced and opened the eyes of heaven, you can see that there is a lot of resentment here. ”

Hearing Xue Qinglian say this, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body!

"That'...... So what do we do now? ”
