Chapter 60: The Human Pangolin
Boom.
Hu Bulai got into the pit and disappeared, and the gravel on both sides instantly fell down the passage drilled out by the "human pangolin".
The thick hemp rope balls on the ground quickly opened one by one, and slipped down the tunnel, and at this moment the big hole was no longer blocked by gravel, but like the huge mouth of a monster, slowly opening and devouring the fire.
Zhuang Zhengde was about to step on the hemp rope ball with one foot to prevent Hu Bulai from falling down and falling all over the place, but before he got off his foot, the hemp rope ball had stopped.
Staring at the entrance of the cave for a long time, Li Sifu put the torch in his hand to this opening, only to see that the torch was instantly blown by a whirring sound, and after seeing that the compass in his hand was not abnormal, Li Sifu tried to pull the end of the hemp rope.
Hu Bulai at the bottom probably received the signal and hurriedly dragged a few handfuls. Li Sifu struggled in his hands, turned his head and said, "This nonsense chief is really bold, and he is not afraid of going straight down and falling into the mud." Let's go down in turn, and climb up the rope after finishing our errands in a moment. ”
Zhuang Zhengde nodded, untied the hemp rope ball, tied it to the vermilion lacquer coffin and tied a knot tightly, pulled a few handfuls and tried it, and it felt very solid.
Raising the torch above his head, Li Sifu squatted next to the entrance of the cave, grabbed the rope with one hand and slid down carefully, and Li Sifu's voice came from the entrance of the cave, "Come down, spiral tunnel." ”
After confirming that it was correct, Gray Xiaoshu glanced at Zhuang Zhengde and slid down like a follower. After a few pulls on the rope, Zhuang Zhengde stopped dragging it, tied the big package and hung it around his neck, and pushed his butt into the pit.
There was a rope pulling, and the sliding speed was not so fast, Zhuang Zhengde took advantage of the light of the torch to take a closer look around the tunnel.
This sliding tunnel seems to have been dug by a gravedigger before, and the walls are very smooth, and there are some green damp moss hanging on the wall path. As Li Sifu said, the whole channel spirals downward.
I don't know how many times this spiral circle, and Zhuang Zhengde, who turned straight, was dizzy.
With a pop, Zhuang Zhengde came back with a butt and landed in a very embarrassed manner.
Turning his head to see, the three people who came down first were looking at themselves with a smile, feeling a little embarrassed, Zhuang Zhengde hurriedly got up and patted his buttocks, and after the passage came down, he was facing the gate of this tomb.
Compared to the shabby burial chamber on the previous floor, it is enough to be stunned to see a burial chamber door not far ahead.
The strange needle in the compass Tianchi has become a sinking needle, shaking slightly, it seems that there is still some yin qi in it, Li Sifu paused and said, "I just looked, this layer of tomb has also been dug up, and the mechanism of the gate has been opened." Presumably, there should be little mechanism left, and the air circulation in the tomb is very good, and I don't know where the hall wind came through. ”
The four of them stood in place and discussed, and decided that Thunderbolt Archmage Hu Bulai would continue to carry his bags to open the way, and the other three would follow the formation in a zigzag.
There are two white stone lions on both sides of the tomb door, and the couplets are carved on both sides of the stone gate, but they are older, and the stone lions and couplets have been somewhat weathered.
No one thought that this tomb was actually made according to the construction method of the Yang Mansion, and at first glance, they thought it was the remains of some town. When the four of them reached the gate, they found that the stone gate had been pushed open by a gap one person wide.
Hu Bulai stopped, took a look at the torch into the crack, and didn't see anything strange, "Mr. Li, what is the situation with the compass?" Someone must have visited this place, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to know that we were going to open the door wow, haha. ”
Picking up the compass and taking a look, Li Sifu confirmed that it was okay and nodded.
Hu Bulai was not in a hurry to go in, slowly took a few oil bottles from the big package and came out, and threw the gourd scoop into the gap in the door, only to hear a few popping sounds, Hu Bulai took the fire fold and skimmed it in, and a fire suddenly ignited inside.
The lighting of the fire in the tomb can be regarded as a bit of a statement, not only to get rid of some strange smells, but also to say hello to the evil inside. When the fire is everywhere, it must be a great prosperity of yang energy, and if there is some obscure energy, it can be dispelled in an instant.
The fire burned red, with an inaudible crackling sound, and after a long time the fire gradually went out.
Feeling that it was almost over, Hu Bulai took the lead and shouted wow, tied the robe into a short fight, and walked in from the gap in four directions, and the other three did not hesitate, and followed in one by one.
Sure enough, it is the tomb built according to the Yang house, after entering the door, there is a huge stone screen, engraved with a horse galloping map, and the stone lion outside this door is different, this screen is not weathered, the front of the horse in the lead is erect, the hooves are off the ground, and the action is vivid.
After passing the screen, there is a small courtyard, the rockery stone tables and stone benches in the center of the courtyard are arranged one by one, there is a stone wing room on the left and right, and there is a stone house without a door in front of it.
Holding a torch and turning around the yard, there is a small side door on the side of the main house, leading to the backyard, Zhuang Zhengde is not in a hurry to enter, he tried to push the stone door of the wing, and it turned out that it was carved out of one piece, not a real room.
Looking at the layout and style of the courtyard, Li Sifu picked up the compass in his hand and glanced at it again, there was still no other abnormality in the slight movement of the needle, "Looking at the Yin Mansion Mansion, it is indeed the style of the Shang Dynasty, but this upper tomb is also strange, it is still the style of the Shang Dynasty." This is a little strange, could it be that the owner of the tomb did it on purpose? To prevent gravediggers? ”
"It may not be possible to look at it according to the poor road, if it is a tomb under the tomb, it can't prevent people with hearts." After that, Hu Bulai took out the peachwood sword from his bag and held it in his hand, and pretended to dance a few times.
"Don't come here, you don't have to be foolish." Zhuang Zhengde was afraid that he would not come and talk nonsense, "It is difficult for us to come down this passage or to fight the pangolin." It's just strange, I can't see any traces of people in this tomb, could it be that the people in the tomb made the passage by themselves? ”
When the two were arguing, Li Sifu had already entered the main room with a torch. This stone house has all kinds of daily necessities, tables, chairs, benches and beds, but they are all carved out of stone, and it is impossible to tell what kind of person lives in the room layout.
After withdrawing from the room, Li Sifu stood in the courtyard for a long time without speaking, as if he was grasping a clue, but he really couldn't think it through.
Seeing Li Sifu thoughtful, Zhuang Zhengde didn't dare to disturb, leaned over to Gray Xiaoshu's side and asked softly, "Cinderella, can you feel anything strange?" ”
"Twitter, there's nothing strange about it. The strange thing is why my mouth is starting to be bald again, obviously at home is fine. When you go down to the tomb, you can't help it, you always have to chatter. ”
Zhuang Zhengde rolled his eyes, Gray Xiaoshu really couldn't answer what he said, it can't be said that a dog can't change eating.
Just when a few people were stunned, there was a sudden clicking sound behind the small side door, and Li Sifu shouted that something was wrong!
Before the words fell, there was a series of booming sounds from the gate of the Yin Mansion, and it was slowly closed.
"Who was in turmoil just now? Or just when you feel like you've stepped on something and you're stuck in it? Li Sifu knew that this click was the mechanism being opened, and hurriedly looked at everyone.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhuang Zhengde only took two steps and didn't feel like he stepped on anything. Needless to say, Gray Xiaoshu hadn't moved since he came in and stood aside, and the three of them couldn't help but look at Hu Bulai in unison.
Feeling three dazzling eyes, Hu Bulai smiled and raised his foot, "Fang Cai...... Fang Cai's feet were a little numb, and it felt like he had stepped on something......"
"Don't come, I'll ......, you rebel, I really want us to make it." Zhuang Zhengde is really angry, this nonsense is really a top trick.
"Don't be a master, I didn't mean to." Hu Bulai felt a little aggrieved, "Don't you believe it, ask Mr. Li, who can know where this organ is." ”
The incident had already happened, and it was useless to hold anyone responsible, Li Sifu hurriedly waved his hand to persuade the two, "If you come, you will be safe." Let's go to this backyard to have a look, since it is a mechanism activation, it must be possible to do it again. ”
