As the clock ticked, the sun set again, and the night fell, and the villagers of the ancient city returned to their rooms.

After making sure that there was no one around, we dared to come out of the room, looking at the empty alleys in the ancient city, and then thinking of the previous signs, I only felt an inexplicable sense of fear rising from the bottom of my heart, and the whole person became nervous.

As night fell, the entire ancient city was dark, and only a little moonlight sprinkled down, and I could barely see the road clearly.

At this time, it is really like what the seventh master said, there is not a trace of light in the entire ancient city, this is just eight o'clock, it is the time for every family to enjoy dinner and enjoy the joy of family, but the whole ancient city is quiet and terrible.

Recalling all kinds of speculations during the day, I can almost determine now that the middle-aged man with a flat shoulder I met before is the corpse keeper, according to the description of the seventh master, this is a secret technique in Xiangxi, and there are very few people who will use it, and it is a secret that is not passed on, I think it should be that this middle-aged man's family is all from Xiangxi, and the old man in the village mentioned to us before that there is an older person, who was once the only person in the ancient city who can contact the outside world, and that person should be the father of this middle-aged man, Their family raised a city of corpses in this ancient city!

It's an absurd idea, but it's the only one I can think of now, and the one I can explain, and I can't think of a second convincing reason in an ancient city with no food, no light, and so dead silence.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a bold idea again, and asked the seventh master, "Seventh master, do you say that the middle-aged man's family is the tomb supervisor of the Qing Dynasty back then?" ”

After hearing my words, the seventh master thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "It's possible!" ”

At this time, I thought of the Northeast man who came to the antique shop to sell Chaozhu before, and then I felt that the person was a little weird, although he was very loyal and honest when he spoke to you and me when he sold things, but thinking about it carefully, that person's eyes never dared to look at me, and he was avoiding my eyes from beginning to end, just staring at what he was selling, and he had reminded me more than once that the wooden box should not be opened easily, it would bring bad luck, could it be that the Northeast man knew about things here?

After thinking about it, I only feel that things here are too strange, and all kinds of signs tell us that this ancient city, this ancient tomb, and this dry well connected to the ancient tomb are too weird, and the descendants of the tomb supervisor always reveal a sense of evil.

At this time, the seventh master waved his hand and said, "No matter how evil this ancient city is, we are here to fight, not to study the secret art of Xiangxi, the most important thing is that the unicorn eye is in this ancient tomb, it is absolutely wrong, and this ancient tomb has been discovered in the Qing Dynasty, and even sent a tomb supervisor over, but in the end the ancient tomb was not excavated, which proves that this ancient tomb is a dragon vein, and it cannot be broken easily!" ”

The seventh master is right, all kinds of signs show that this is a great tomb, how many secrets are hidden under this dry well, the Qing Dynasty treasury was empty, and a batch of money relief was urgently needed, and the existence of this ancient tomb had been discovered, and it suddenly stopped because of the dragon vein, all of this is too strange, it seems that this unicorn eye is nine times out of ten, it is in this ancient tomb, it will not be wrong!

The four of us came to the dry well again, the seventh master took out a jar of black dog blood from his backpack, and poured it along the edge of the dry well, in order to avoid being discovered, this time the seventh master's technique was very clever, and he was very careful when pouring, and from the outside, there were no traces at all.

After doing all this, the seventh master took out his saber again, cut his fingers, and then stood on the edge of the dry well, dripping the blood from his fingertips, and then quietly observed the changes in the dry well.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the dry well did not move again, and the seventh master waved his hand at us, and said, "It's okay, let's hurry up, remember not to leave any traces on the ground, don't tie the climbing rope, this wellhead is not big, let's hold it with our hands, and slowly slide down, it should be no problem." As he spoke, the Seventh Master began to prop up the edge of the dry well with his hands and feet, and began to slide down.

I followed and also entered the dry well, this time there was no strange phenomenon before, we arrived at the bottom of the dry well smoothly, but when my feet stepped on the ground of the dry well, I suddenly heard a crisp click, I seemed to have stepped on something, the bottom of the well was black and I couldn't see my fingers, I don't know what I stepped on, because the whole ancient city is pitch black, if I turn on the flashlight first, the wellhead of the dry well is probably like a large searchlight, in order to avoid being discovered, The seventh master used a very thick blackout cloth to cover the top of our heads to prevent the light from leaking out, so that I dared to turn on the flashlight.

When the flashlight was turned on, I looked down and couldn't help but gasp, it turned out to be more than a dozen skeletons! Judging by the degree of corrosion, it should have been some years.

At this time, Huzi suddenly squatted down, looked carefully at the clothes on these skeletons, and said, "Hey, damn it, why do I feel so familiar with these clothes?" ”

Hearing Huzi say this, I also looked carefully, and before I could see any clues, Wang Chuyi said, "It's the same, it's the same as our guide before, Liu Yuan, yes, it's him, the clothes on these skeletons are similar to what he wore before, the material, the style, are the same." ”

For clothes, women always know more than men, Wang Chuyi told us that the clothes worn by these skeletons are all hand-knitted, and the workmanship of the threads and corners is almost the same, which is very different from the clothes we buy in the store on weekdays, and it is easy to distinguish, and the clothes worn by Liu Yuan before are this kind.

After listening to Wang Chuyi's words, Huzi nodded, oh, and said, "I understand!" ”

"What do you understand?" I asked him.

Huzi said, "I understand why the people in that village say that there is no entry and exit in this ancient city, and they are all fucking dead here, can they still get out!" ”

I thought about it, Huzi was right, Liu Yuan also told us before that this ancient city is not ordinary, you can get in, you can't get out, it seems that it is not only because of the unique construction method of this ancient city, but also because there is a potential danger hidden here, once an outsider breaks in, you will be trapped in the ancient city, and after being killed, you will be thrown into a dry well.

I'm afraid that all this was done by the middle-aged man's family, in order not to let outsiders discover the secrets here, I think he must also know that there is a huge ancient tomb hidden here, hundreds of years of inheritance, they are no longer the original tomb supervisors, I am afraid that the middle-aged man is also playing the attention of this ancient tomb, and also wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, but he can't find the entrance to the ancient tomb, plus at the beginning of the construction of this ancient city, it was built to protect the ancient tomb from being discovered, and at this time, the only entrance to the ancient tomb was used by him to destroy the corpse. Naturally, he would not enter this dry well, and he would never find out where the ancient tomb was.

At this time, the seventh master patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, hurry up and find the location of the mechanism, there must be a hidden passage in this dry well." ”

Huzi nodded, and began to grope around on the wall of the well, the diameter of this dry well is only two meters, the four of us stand here, it seems very crowded, almost not enough space to turn around, even though the current Huzi is very familiar with the mechanism, but to find out where the mechanism is, it still takes some effort.

After the tiger went around the bottom of the well twice, he reached out and pressed a square brick on the wall of the well, and then I felt that my feet were suddenly empty, and in an instant, the whole body was suspended in the air, and I began to fall down.

"Fuck it, bad!" Huzi scolded, only to hear a pop, the sound of falling water, the next second, I myself fell into the water, when I struggled to swim out of the water, I found that there were many white bones floating on the water, all of which were the remains of the bottom of the well before, I quickly raised the flashlight to shine upward, and found that above my head, about five or six meters high, the bottom of the dry well was slowly closing, it seems that the tiger touched the mechanism just now, never expected, the entrance of the ancient tomb turned out to be at the bottom of the dry well, and we fell down directly without warning.

I held up a flashlight to observe the surrounding environment, this is an underground dark river, the river flow speed is very slow, two or three meters away from us, is the river beach, I secretly rejoiced in my heart, fortunately did not fall on the river beach, otherwise I would have to vomit blood.

At this time, the seventh master packed up the corpses floating in the river, took them to the shore, and said, "Since they have fallen, let's bury these corpses, they are all poor people, and it can be regarded as helping them to settle in the ground." ”

I nodded in agreement, after burying the remains, we walked along the bank of the underground dark river about a few hundred meters forward, a wide tomb door appeared in front of us, the tomb door is nine meters high, six meters wide, semicircular, looks very quaint, there are two giant stone lions on both sides of the door, about two meters high, the tomb door as a whole looks more like the house of a large family, the relief on the tomb door is also extremely luxurious, the left side of the tomb door is a dragon pattern carving, the right side is a hundred birds and a phoenix, through this pair of relief carvings on the tomb door, It is almost surmising that this is a joint burial tomb.

Huzi and Qiye have begun to study the opening method of the tomb door, Wang Chuyi and I are observing the surrounding situation on the side, about ten minutes, Huzi sighed, scolded, "Damn, this tomb door is too heavy, it is a one-sided mechanism, and it is only closed, not opened, once the tomb door is locked, the spring tongue of the internal mechanism will be pressed underneath, this fucking trouble." ”

Listening to Huzi's meaning, the mechanism of this tomb gate is actually disposable, once activated, the tomb door is closed, and the mechanism is invalid.

It seems that the method of opening the tomb door by finding a mechanism will not work, and all our hopes are pinned on the seventh master.

I saw that the seventh master lingered in front of the tomb door for a long time, and almost all the tools used to open the tomb door in the bag were used, and there seemed to be no progress, and it took a long time for the seventh master to stand up from the tomb door and said, "No, it's too thick, this tomb door is at least nearly two meters thick, the hook lock can't pass, it's not that long, even if the stone glass behind the tomb door is opened, relying on the strength of a few of us, we can't push open this tomb door." ”
