Chapter 424: The Dry Well Hangs in the Shadows
Now that the entrance to the ancient tomb has been determined, the rest is simple, we waited until it was dark, led by the tiger, and quietly came to the path during the day, after a toss by the tiger, the mechanism on the path was successfully cracked, and our group of four people sneaked into the ancient city.
After entering the ancient city, because the night was dark, we didn't dare to use any lighting tools, so we could only rely on the sketch drawn by Wang Chu in one hand, and walked forward in black, and walked for a long time and still did not reach the location of the ancient well, I was a little anxious, according to the distance we walked, it should have arrived a long time ago, and it was impossible to walk for such a long time.
After walking for a while, we all felt that something was wrong, so we stopped to take a closer look at the surroundings, and finally Huzi found the clue, we actually circled around the center of the ancient city, and we have already circled twice!
I looked at the sketch of the ancient city in Wang Chu's hand, and marked the route we had just walked with a red pen, and sure enough, it was an irregular circle.
"Damn, this ancient city is really mysterious, obviously there is a map in hand, but I still got hit, it seems that this ancient city is indeed built by a master." Huzi complained, pointed to an ancient building behind us, and said, "I looked, this house is quite high, let's climb up and look down from the roof, we should be able to get out." ”
As soon as I heard it, it made sense, no matter what kind of maze, as long as we stood high and saw far, the lanes that confused us naturally broke down, and soon we climbed onto the roof, for fear of waking up the villagers, we all glued a layer of sponge to the sole of our shoes when we climbed, so that walking on the roof would not make too much noise.
When we climbed to the roof, I looked up and couldn't help but curse, the houses here are exactly the same height, even if we climb up, we can't get any help, and the roofs are all the same height as we see, which is not as convenient as we can get on the ground.
After seeing this situation, the seventh master was also at a loss, and after looking around, the seventh master said in a deep voice, "Most of the ancient buildings here are wooden structures, and according to my speculation, there must be fire prevention measures." ”
Speaking of this, my heart suddenly lit up, and I said, "Yes, most of the ancients built water canals for fire prevention, which can be both drinking and extinguishing, as long as we find the location of the canal and follow the water, we will definitely not get lost!" With that, we came down from the roof again and looked for a canal in the alleyway.
Sure enough, at the edge of each house, there will be a living water channel, and although the speed of the water is not fast, it can still be distinguished.
So we followed the stupidest method and began to move along the water, and as we walked, the seventh master held his ancient pattern gossip compass with his hand, and after turning seven or eight corners, we finally found the seven dry wells we mentioned earlier.
"This is it! Be careful! After the seventh master reminded him, he put the compass into his arms, and then carefully observed the surrounding situation, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered, "It is the penultimate dry well in the northernmost part, let's be careful when we go over, when I see the villagers fetching water during the day, they will avoid the dry well, far away from it, it seems to be very dangerous." ”
The seventh master's words of reminder made us inexplicably nervous, building such a complex ancient city is enough to make people big, and the villagers who live in this ancient city all year round are so in awe of this dry well, it really has to make people nervous.
I cautiously approached the dry well, only felt that there was an inexplicable wind blowing on my body, the closer I knew, the faster I felt the wind speed, and the wind was blowing upside down, blowing into the dry well from the outside, and when I got closer, the speed of the wind also reached the maximum, as if there was a suction, pulling me towards the direction of the dry well, the force was getting bigger and bigger, I was already a little unstable, and quickly grabbed the tiger on the side, and whispered, "This well is very evil, be careful, don't be sucked in." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Wang Chuyi took out a bundle of climbing ropes, tied them to a wooden railing not far from the dry well, and then grabbed the climbing rope and began to approach the dry well.
With the mountaineering rope as a borrowing, and Wang Chuyi's own weight is relatively light, he soon came to the edge of the dry well and began to lean out and look into the dry well.
I saw that she was facing away from me at this time, holding the climbing rope in one hand, leaning forward with her whole body, and her head was almost stretched into the dry well, because her body almost blocked the entire dry well, the evil wind blowing into the dry well weakened a lot, and Huzi and I also stood firm, waiting for the seventh master to approach us.
"How? In the first year of junior high school, what is the following situation? I asked.
But after waiting for a while, Wang Chuyi didn't have any reaction, which made me feel furious, could it be that something happened to me?
"The first day of junior high school! What's wrong? I shouted again anxiously, only to see that Wang Chuyi still maintained the same movement of looking down the well, motionless, and did not react at all.
Seeing this, Huzi and I were anxious, and understood that Wang Chuyi was in a hurry, so he hurriedly rushed over, I hugged Wang Chuyi's waist and began to pull back, but at this time, Wang Chuyi seemed to grow in a dry well, no matter how I pulled, she just didn't move.
Huzi on the side was also anxious when he saw this situation, and hurriedly came up to help, the two of us grabbed one of her arms and began to pull back, and finally the seventh master also ran to help, and the three big men pulled a woman, but they didn't pull.
At this time, the seventh master whispered, "No! There's something strange in this well! With that, the seventh master let go of his hand, walked to the well, and cautiously looked into the dry well, the wellhead of the dry well had been blocked by Wang Chuyi with his body, and the seventh master turned sideways, looked inward from the gap, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly retreated several steps.
Then he waved his hand at me and Huzi, and said, "Don't pull it, you two hurry back!" As he spoke, the Seventh Master took out a jar of dark red rooster blood from his backpack, and then quickly unscrewed the lid.
I don't know what the seventh master is going to do, so I can only do as he said, let go of Wang Chuyi and prepare to retreat, just as I was about to leave the edge of the dry well, I couldn't help but glance at the gap in the dry well.
This glance almost didn't scare my soul out, but I saw more than a dozen pale children in the dry well, staring at Wang Chuyi with a resentful face, grabbing Wang Chuyi's hair with both hands, and Wang Chuyi's face had begun to turn pale at this time.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated, and thought back for a moment, when I pulled Wang Chuyi's hand just now, I obviously felt her body temperature dropping, until I withdrew from the edge of the dry well, her hand was no longer bloodless, and it was cold, as if it was a dead person.
After retreating for a distance, I looked at Wang Chuyi from a distance, she still maintained her original posture unchanged, and the whole person seemed to be stiff, looking very scary.
At this time, the seventh master picked up the jar of dark red rooster blood, quickly rushed to the side of the dry well, and poured it into it along the gap at the edge of the dry well.
At the moment when the rooster's blood was poured in, he saw bursts of white smoke coming out, and Wang Chuyi's body suddenly trembled.
"Come and help!" The Seventh Master shouted in a deep voice.
Huzi and I hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Wang Chuyi's two arms again, and pulled her back, this time there was no sense of exertion just now, Huzi and I pulled Wang Chuyi out of the well at once, due to excessive force, all three of us fell to the ground.
I saw Wang Chuyi, whose face was bloodless, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Are there any injuries? ”
Wang Chuyi's lips were pale, the whole person was twitching, there was no spirit in his eyes, the whole person was in a state of mental distraction, no matter what Huzi and I asked her, she didn't react, just a strong convulsion.
I didn't know what to do, so I called the seventh master to come over and take a look, and as soon as I looked up, I saw that the seventh master was lying on the side of the dry well, and the posture was exactly the same as Wang Chuyi just now.
Seeing this, it really scared me and Huzi, could it be that the seventh master was also tricked? If that's the case, then it's over, for this kind of evil thing, several of us are laymen, if there is no seventh master to lead the way, I'm afraid everyone will have to die in this ancient city.
I looked down at the time, there were less than four hours before the sun rose, if we couldn't enter the dry well smoothly during this period, then we had to exit the ancient city, but at this juncture, the seventh master froze on the side of the dry well.
"Seventh Master! …… Seventh Master! I screamed twice in a row, the seventh master still didn't have any reaction, I had to leave the tiger to take care of Wang Chuyi, quietly touched the dry well, when I approached the seventh master's side, only to find that the seventh master's whole body was shaking rapidly, and the speed of shaking was very fast, and the mouth was still chanting some words that I didn't understand, as if it was a spell.
I patted the seventh master on the shoulder and asked him if he was okay, the seventh master didn't answer, just shook his body rapidly, I looked inward along the gap at the edge of the dry well, and couldn't help but be shocked, this time it was not the kind of child who was white, but a middle-aged man in a long shirt with a white face, because I was very close, even the stubble on the man's face could be seen clearly, at this time he was holding the neck of the seventh master tightly with both hands, and was trying to pull him down the dry well.
At this time, the seventh master's forehead has oozed beads of sweat the size of beans, and a few drops have dropped on the man's face, and it can be seen that the seventh master is now competing with the middle-aged man, I thought about helping the seventh master, so I took out the seedling knife from the backpack, and without saying a word, I stabbed it along the gap at the edge of the dry well, fortunately, my seedling knife was long enough, and the knife was directly stabbed in the middle-aged man's face.
I saw the blade of Miao Dao pierce the man's left cheek, directly opening a large hole in his face, leaking out two rows of big white teeth in his mouth.
The middle-aged man was stabbed by me, opened his mouth wide, and was about to bite the seventh master's neck, if he was really bitten this time, I am afraid that the seventh master's life will be explained here!
