Chapter 13 Lamp Oil

What killed him?

Coming to this courtyard, although there are many incredible places, there doesn't seem to be anything that can be fatal, so much so that I let my guard down. At this moment, as soon as Liu Shishi said this, I woke up suddenly.

It was from this courtyard that those man-eating tomb beasts came out, and under that deep passageway, there might be a lair for these tomb beasts.

"Say, is this really a water prison underground?" I pointed to the secret passage and asked Liu Shi. Listening to Liu Dongxi's description before, these tomb beasts seem to only feed on the dead, and they must be generated in the ancient tombs, so the water dungeon undoubtedly meets the conditions.

"Definitely not!" Liu Dongxi said very conclusively: "You see that this secret passage opens towards the main seat, how can it be cultivated into a water prison." It's okay, who is going to make an urn for yourself in your own home? ”

I thought about it, so I didn't say anything, and I remembered in my heart that Ge Haoran didn't move when Lu Yan opened the secret passage, and I always felt that Ge Haoran should have died when the secret passage opened......

Thinking of this, I felt that my mind was a complete mess, and then Liu Dongxi said: "Brother An, let's go down?" ”

"Let's go! Be careful! Since I didn't understand, I didn't need to think about it anymore, so I turned around, turned the aperture of the flashlight above my head, turned around and walked towards the dark passage.

This dark passage is not deep, and going down more than ten levels is a turn. I stretched out my head and shook the flashlight for a while, and there should be more than ten levels to the end, almost half a zigzag. The ground looks fairly solid, with no reflections from the water.

The hole that was knocked out by the hammer was filled with wind whirring, which also improved the air underground to a certain extent. As I passed by, I glanced into the cave, and I couldn't see anything, it must have been a large space not far down, and there was a lot of water in it, and there was a strange smell coming out. I didn't dare to look any more, so I shrank my head and continued to walk forward. Ever since I came out of the ground, I have always felt that there are always things in this world that we must not touch, why is there such a huge liquid space under that 10,000-year-old tree? I don't want to think about it......

Standing at the bottom of the stairs, I spun around and scanned the space. It's about a hundred square meters, and not far from us is another staircase, which looks a little newer than where we came down, vaguely like modern materials. Other than that, it's empty, it's not a water dungeon, and there's nothing that can kill a big living person, only eight large oil lamps surrounded by walls, and I don't know if it can be used!

Liu Dongxi looked over, stretched out his hand and picked at the oil lamp, and walked over with a disgusting expression: "Looking at this family's luxury, I thought I could see agar whale oil, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of thing!" ”

I saw that his hands were black, and a rather strong smell of kerosene spread, so I asked, "Is it kerosene?" ”

Liu Shiwu leaned in and sniffed, his face changed, "It's really kerosene!" ”

The appearance of kerosene is definitely not short from now, but it is not long, and it is really unbelievable to appear in the underground of this ancient mansion at this moment, what is going on, and I really can't find the answer for a while.

Liu Shiwu was also a little in a daze, it was estimated that he had seen this chaotic situation for the first time, and just wanted to push him to leave, but he suddenly opened his mouth.

"I've seen this before!" Liu Dongxi rubbed the kerosene on his hand and said.

It turned out that Liu Dongxi had robbed a large tomb in Shanxi, and after entering it, he found that there was no trace of theft at all. What's more coincidental is that because the things learned are different, and those of the same sect often find the same type of tomb, it is extremely common for apprentices to eat the rest of the master. Therefore, many sects have set up rules such as taking only a few pieces, which seems to be benevolent and righteous and obedient to heavenly virtue, but to put it bluntly, they are afraid of starving their apprentices to death, and some large tombs can even support the disciples for several generations.

Of course, this is all gossip, but it is said that at that time, Liu Dongxi and the others were fortunate but found something wrong, and there was a problem with the smell of the lamp oil used for the ever-bright lamp in the tomb. Out of curiosity, Liu Dongxi carefully investigated and found that the ever-bright lamp was filled with alabaster. This is simply nonsense, a group of people thought it was a haunting, and they withdrew without daring to take a single thing. After discussing for a long time, there was no conclusion, so Liu had no choice but to ask his father for help, who was rich in theoretical knowledge.

After a phone call, I learned that this tomb had been stolen by Liu Dongxi's grandfather many years ago. Everything was going well at that time, but when the coffin was finally opened, I don't know why all the electric rods suddenly broke. At that time, the copper flashlight used at that time would go out when it was slightly damp, and the dampness underground, which was normal, but there was no light in the tomb and it was impossible to work.

It's a big taboo now, Liu Dongxi's sect pays attention to taking people's property and not destroying people's food and clothing, you burned other people's sesame oil and paid it back? Liu Dongxi's grandfather was furious and frightened, and hurriedly led people to run away, but he didn't think that the originally dug thief hole couldn't be found!

A group of people were dumbfounded, but the thief hole that was obviously opened next to the coffin could not be found, seeing that a dry person was about to suffocate to death in this underground palace, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to force the guy who lit the lamp to burn a finger alive on the lamp, seeing that a good finger was slowly burned into charcoal, but the thief hole did not have the meaning of reappearing.

In fact, at that time, he could have chosen to fight the thief hole and go out, but the people at that time were very superstitious, and they had already broken their courage when they saw the thief hole disappear out of thin air, so they could still think of this. At this time, a guy brought up and said that the owner of the tomb was angry because we burned his sesame oil, and we should make up for it again!

This is also true, but whose family robbed the tomb and went down with a pot of sesame oil. But it's really a coincidence, Mrs. Liu bought a bottle of balsam for Mrs. Liu before going to the ground, don't look at this thing is inconspicuous now, it was a luxury at that time, and I was afraid that I would keep it in my arms. At this time, I just took out the ever-bright lamp and wiped it full, which can be regarded as accepting the frightened mind, and leading the guys to fight against the thief hole and get out.

Liu Dongxi knew the story of the year, but recalled that there was not the slightest trace of robbery in the tomb, so he knew that this tomb was by no means simple, so he led people to retreat overnight.

After listening to Liu Shi's story, I couldn't help but be a little funny, I had never seen a grandfather tease his grandson to play such a big formation. Asked Liu Dongxi: "You mean that there are also people here who have come to light the lamp, and they are afraid that the gods will blame them and make up for kerosene?" ”

Liu Shixi heard the meaning of laughter in my words, "Brother An said that he laughed, what I mean is that someone must have been here in this place, and they have done something here, so they added oil to this ready-made oil lamp!" ”

I said in my heart that you are insane, who can't see this, it's worth telling such a long story, is it time to tell a story?

But complaining and complaining, after Liu Dongxi said that someone had done something here, a name suddenly popped up in my mind-

Zhang Guoqing!
