When we arrived here, all of us were nearly very tired, Huzi and Wang Chuyi had begun to set up tents, and the seventh master and I were using a strong flashlight to observe the surrounding environment, the whole valley seemed to have been artificially trimmed, the ground was very flat, and many places were paved with huge bluestone slabs, the scale was very huge, how large the area of this valley was, it was impossible to speculate now, but when I looked up, I found that the top of our heads was full of canopies, and we could vaguely see the stars in the sky when we stood on the stairs. But when I got here, I couldn't see even a star, it was all leaves.

I found some dry wood with the seventh master, and built a bonfire in the same place, and then Wang Chuyi helped me and Huzi to treat the wounds briefly, and prepared to rest, but at this time, I found that in a place about ten meters away from us, I don't know when, there was a red thing, about a dozen square meters.

"Be careful, there's something over there!" I hurriedly stood up and shone at the crimson thing with a strong flashlight, only to see that the ground was densely packed with a kind of crimson scorpion, which was very small, probably only the size of the nail cover of my thumb, but there were a lot of them, and so many years of inverted bucket experience told me that this kind of scorpion is bright in color, it must be highly poisonous, and it must be uncomfortable to be stung!

At this time, our physical strength was basically exhausted, and we really didn't have the strength to confront these scorpions again, so I beckoned Huzi to bring gas cylinders, and without saying a word, I lit them and threw them into the scorpion group.

The flames quickly spread in the scorpion group, and many scorpions were ignited by the flames, only to see a small beating flame scurrying in the scorpion group, and soon ignited the surrounding scorpions.

The scorpions, which had been burned by the fire, quickly dispersed and scurried into the woods deep in the col, where there were many waist-thick trees, and soon they were gone.

At this time, Wang Chuyi looked a little worried, and said, "Scorpions are very vindictive, we burned so many just now, I'm afraid we have to be careful tonight, I feel that these scorpions will come again." ”

At this time, the seventh master was also frowning, seeing that his expression was very ugly, I hurriedly asked, "Seventh master, what's wrong?" ”

The seventh master said, "This is the red scorpion, it is very rare, it generally lives in the dark and damp dense forest, and it is a solitary creature, it rarely moves in groups, the toxin of a red scorpion can poison a cow, if there are really one or two sneaking into the tent at night, it is really troublesome." ”

At this time, I also have a bad premonition, scorpions that live alone, move in groups? What changes their habits? You must know that the habits of a creature are difficult to change, unless it is through a very long evolutionary process, it will never change, plus scorpions do not have high intelligence, their living habits are completely for survival, and now they are infested in groups, I am afraid that there is a huge threat, so they have to haunt the group.

In order to prevent this red venomous scorpion from launching a surprise attack when we are resting, I said that the garlic I brought was mashed, and then mixed with urine, and then sprinkled around our tent, this liquid mixed with urine and garlic will emit a strong smell, and the scorpion generally does not approach.

With this layer of security in place, we still have one person left as a sentry to keep circling our tent to prevent individual red scorpions from creeping in.

I slept soundly until more than ten o'clock the next day, I was woken up by Huzi, fortunately, during this period, those red poisonous scorpions did not appear again, I quickly ate something, after replenishing my strength, the seventh master and Wang Chuyi have begun to pack up their equipment, at this time the light in the col is also bright, although there is no direct sunlight in, but at least we can not use flashlights and torches to illuminate again.

After packing up the equipment, under the leadership of the seventh master, we continued to march towards the depths of the mountain col, and I realized that the location we were in was not a mountain col at all, but a sinkhole, which was somewhat like a crater, but it was much deeper than the ordinary crater, if it was really a crater, I am afraid that now we are already in the magma.

We have been walking forward about a few hundred meters, during the road is quite flat, many places are paved with bluestone slabs, not so much here is a mountain col sinkhole, but rather a private back garden, but now it seems to be very dilapidated, most of the surrounding trees are two or three people hugging so thick, it is estimated that it has a history of thousands of years, the canopy above our heads is connected together one by one, almost all the sunlight is blocked outside, the more you go inside, the more dim it looks, We had to re-light the torches to light it.

"Fuck, what the hell is this place, so dark!" Huzi walked in front with a torch, and after complaining, he leaned against a tree and sat down to tie his shoelaces.

At this moment, I only heard a few crisp sounds from the trunk of the tree, and thud... Bang bang... Bang bang bang ... It was very regular, which frightened the tiger who had just sat down, and he quickly stood up, drew his saber, looked like he was facing a great enemy, and said, "Damn, this tree is moving!" ”

The tree he sat on was as thick as two or three people hugging each other, and if it was really shaking, it would definitely fall down, and I didn't believe it, thinking that Huzi had a delusion, so I stepped forward and held the tree with my hand.

Sure enough, I felt a slight vibration from the palm of my hand, although this vibration was very subtle, but in the case of high tension, I could still feel it clearly, Huzi was not wrong, the tree was indeed shaking.

After hearing the news, the Seventh Master frowned, and said, "Go ahead, there must be something under this mountain col, but we haven't found the entrance to go down now!" ”

When Huzi heard this, he immediately became energetic and said, "What? Seventh Master, do you mean that there is an ancient tomb under this mountain col? ”

The Seventh Master nodded his head and walked forward, and said without looking back, "The main tomb must be below here, if I'm right, this entrance should be in front, right there!" ”

The seventh master raised his hand and pointed in the northwest direction, I raised my eyes and looked, only to see that the lush trees were all over, and there was no abnormality in the slightest, I don't know what the seventh master was referring to.

may have seen that we were all puzzled, the seventh master raised his finger again, and said, "Look at it." ”

I looked up, good fellow, the huge canopy of trees obscured the sky, and the most shocking thing was that such a large area of the canopy was actually on a single tree, such a large canopy, the diameter of this tree must be more than ten meters, or even more!

"The entrance is in this tree, let's get over there!" The Seventh Master urged and quickened his pace.

I have seen a similar description in an ancient book before, saying that ancient wizards and the like do not play cards according to common sense, and the tombs they choose are often unguessed by people, some choose to be buried in the sea, some choose to be buried in the desert, in short, it is different from ordinary people.

And this time it was even more eye-opening, after following the seventh master to the bottom of this giant tree, he found that a huge tree hole two meters wide had been dug out of the trunk of this tree, and it could be clearly seen by shining a flashlight in the past, there were downward steps in the tree hole, which extended down for a long time, and the light of the flashlight could not reach the end.

Seeing this, Huzi's face was full of excitement, and he said, "The seventh master still has the ability, and I can see at a glance that there is something wrong with this tree, it seems that this time I am really going to the main tomb!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huzi raised his feet and drilled into the hole in the tree.

I originally thought that the seventh master would stop the tiger and ask something, but this time the seventh master didn't make any moves, just followed the tiger in a muffled voice, it seems that the seventh master is also a little unbreathable this time, after all, after searching for so many years, there is finally a result, if it were me, I guess I should be more excited.

The steps went down about ten meters, and there was a turn, and then it began to spiral downward, and at this time, Huzi, who was walking in front, suddenly slowed down and whispered, "No, I feel that there is something wrong with this step!" ”

Although Huzi is usually reckless, his observation is still okay, and when he raised the problem with the steps, none of us had any suspicions, and immediately stopped.

I opened my mouth and asked, "What's the matter, Huzi?" What's wrong? "Along the way, I didn't find anything suspicious, and I didn't run into any traps.

Huzi shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, it's wrong, I can't say it, I feel very bad!" As he spoke, Huzi raised the flashlight to shine around, and the light of the flashlight quickly crossed the surrounding environment, at this time Huzi suddenly exclaimed, "It's the wall!" Something is wrong with this wall! ”

We are in this spiral down the steps, at the beginning of the wall is all bare soil, there are also many roots in the intertwined leakage of many roots, but after this extent, the roots gradually disappear, the surrounding mud walls also began to turn into stone, the surface has been artificially polished, because we have more tombs, for this kind of wall has long been accustomed to this, and did not care too much, Huzi said, I looked carefully again, and found that the wall is carved with some incomprehensible lines, there are not too many strange places, So he asked Huzi what was wrong.

Huzi scratched his head, the expression on his face was painful, as if he was desperately trying to remember something, but he couldn't remember.

At this moment, the Seventh Master suddenly spoke, "It's a death spell!" Engraved on this wall is a spell that reincarnates the soul. ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard it, the reincarnation of the soul is nonsense, and everyone understands the theory, but in fact there is no scientific basis for such a statement, and as an atheist, I firmly do not believe it.

But Huzi's face was also very ugly at this time, he turned to look at me, and said, "Lao Bai... I... I feel bad...... We just could... Exactly four people! ”

After listening to this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What, just four people?" What do you mean? ”
