Chapter 136: Mulberry Coffin
I stepped on the blood of the mastiff on the ground, walked out of the cabin, and looked around by the light of the flashlight, and found that there were five or six giant mastiff corpses left on the ground, and some other giant mastiffs had dispersed, so I hurriedly beckoned Huzi and Zhang Wuxing to come out of the cabin.
"It seems that we are here with a plan that is not a long-term solution, hurry up and find the entrance to the tomb, and it may be safer to go down to the tomb."
Huzi and Zhang Wuxing hurriedly nodded in agreement, but after we checked the surrounding environment, they were all in trouble, although this valley is not very huge, but if you want to find the entrance to the ancient tomb here, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky, and it is now dark night, the light source of the flashlight is limited, and it is impossible to see the trend of the rock veins around the valley, and it is impossible to guess the location of the dragon veins.
Looking at the messy environment, Huzi sighed and said, "If only the Seventh Master were here!" ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard Zhang Wuxing's shouting, Huzi and I hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhang Wuxing's shouting, only to find that when Huzi and I were still surveying the terrain, Zhang Wuxing didn't know when he had walked out dozens of meters, seeing him shouting now, I couldn't see what was going on, so I hurriedly ran over to see.
I looked at it and found that not far from the place where we found the cabin, there was a trace of a burnt bonfire, I walked over and touched it, some of the blackened charcoal wood still had a trace of temperature, look at the valley The moon is dark and the wind is high, if someone really built this bonfire not long ago, it must be the seventh master will not be wrong.
Huzi held a torch and carefully observed the surrounding environment, and found that the grass on the ground to the east had been trampled on, so we set out towards the east, all the way to the stampede, about half an hour or so, and came to the edge of the valley, in front of a huge rock wall, and the trampling marks disappeared here.
Huzi and I took a closer look at the rock wall, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then I turned on the flashlight to shine up, and this photo suddenly found that there were many neatly arranged grottoes more than ten meters above the rock wall, and the edge of the grotto seemed to have traces of people climbing, and the edge of a grotto appeared half a foot shoe print, to see that the soil on it was still very fresh, it should have just passed.
Huzi took out the mountaineering rope and tied the grappling hook, and said, "It seems that the seventh master has been here, but why didn't he contact us first?" ”
I shook my head, I don't know why, maybe he didn't notice us, look at the traces, he is always one step ahead of us.
Huzi threw the climbing rope on the rock wall, I first grabbed the climbing rope and began to climb up, Zhang Wuxing followed me, Huzi was at the bottom of the hall, just climbed up more than ten meters, came to the edge of a grotto, I grabbed the climbing rope in one hand, and held a flashlight in the other hand to shine inside, and found that the rock wall was polished very smooth around it, and there was a black wooden coffin in the grotto, looking at the lines on it, this coffin should have a history of hundreds of years.
After I entered the grotto, Zhang Wuxing and Huzi also walked in successively, after Huzi saw the coffin, he basically lost the ability to think, took out the sapper shovel, and was about to pry the coffin, after trying twice without success, he shouted at me, "Hey, I said Lao Bai, you are a hand?" ”
After I looked at the entire grotto with a flashlight, I looked at Huzi and said, "The seventh master has obviously been to this grotto, and he hasn't touched this coffin, so let's not touch it, in case something big comes out, we can't deal with it." ”
Huzi glared, and just wanted to refute, Zhang Wuxing immediately took over and said, "Yes, like this coffin, there is no coffin outside, and the material used is also ordinary wood, and there will be nothing valuable inside." ”
Listening to Zhang Wuxing's words, Huzi pouted and didn't pay attention to continue to hit the coffin, but Zhang Wuxing's words reminded me!
When I first entered this grotto, I felt that this coffin was not quite right, but now I finally understand that this coffin is actually made of mulberry wood!
Thinking of this, I can't help but be surprised, when I was in the Xiliang Tomb, the Seventh Master said, the ancients customs, do not plant mulberry before, do not plant willows later, do not raise ghosts in the courtyard to clap their hands, this mulberry, willow, poplar is the three most taboo wood of the ancients, will never use these wood to make coffins, in the Xiliang Tomb that willow ghost coffin, now I am still afraid, I didn't expect to meet the mulberry coffin here.
I was shocked, no wonder the seventh master did not open the coffin, and even stayed here for a short time, the footprints only remained at the edge of the cave, and there were no footprints in other places, I am afraid that it was because of the discovery of the material of the coffin that he did not stay longer.
After noticing that something was wrong, I hurriedly beckoned Huzi and Zhang Wuxing to go out, this kind of mulberry coffin belongs to yin, and it will be absorbed when it encounters yang energy, and the corpse in the coffin will soon be corpsed, we have not yet reached the edge of the grotto, we heard that there was movement in the coffin, and the sound of banging made people's scalps numb, and they only felt that there was a big zongzi to jump out of the coffin.
After Huzi and Zhang Wuxing heard this voice, where did they dare to stay here, one ran faster than the other, grabbed the climbing rope and began to climb up.
After climbing another five or six meters, I came to the edge of another grotto, I turned on a flashlight and shone it in, and found that there was no coffin in this grotto, but it was very deep, and the light with the flashlight could not reach the end.
As soon as I wanted to go in, I felt that the climbing rope was shaking very violently, and I hurriedly looked down, only to see a skinny zongzi emerging from the grotto just now, and my hands were swaying from side to side of the climbing rope, and the three of us were swinging around on the climbing rope like a swing.
Zhang Wuxing scolded, "It's all your money obsession, wake up this!" Now, it's playing monkey tricks on us! ”
The rope swung more and more, and then we were almost so dizzy that we were about to fall off, and I immediately thought that it might be more dangerous to fall, and that it would be better to jump into the grotto to have a look.
Thinking of this, I took advantage of the rope to the edge of the cave, let go of my hands, jumped forward, and jumped into the grotto.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wuxing and Huzi saw me jumping in, and they also jumped in one after the other following my example.
I saw that they all jumped in, turned around and looked at the rope again, and found that it was still shaking, I walked to the edge of the grotto and leaned out to look down, only to see that the skinny zongzi was still holding on to the rope, relying on its own arm strength, it actually began to climb up little by little.
I pulled out my saber and cut off the climbing rope without hesitation, the zongzi had already leaned on the mountaineering rope all the body, and the mountaineering rope was cut by me, and the zongzi fell into the valley together with the mountaineering rope.
I only felt that the place where this zongzi fell, caused a commotion, and it took a long time to quiet down, I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat in my heart, it seems that there are really a lot of powerful guys waiting for us below, if any of the three of us fell just now, I'm afraid I would have gone to see Hades by now.
