Chapter 37: The Hanged Man
I gritted my teeth, went down, and finally fell straight to the ground.
The bones of the body hurt, but fortunately, I didn't take my life.
The Ninth Master helped me up, I shook my head, patted the dust on my body, and exhaled.
Reach for the handlamp, turn the light to the best state, and shine it inward.
There is no humidity here, but the dry air is revealed, and the gloomy atmosphere makes people even more frightened.
I looked in through the light, and it was no longer a stone wall made of bluestone bricks, but narrow dry mud walls on both sides, and I touched it out of curiosity, and the mud may have been extremely hard after being washed away by the spring water for a long time.
In the distance, it looks like a Yongdao entrance, but at first glance it looks like a tomb opening, and this cave is still down.
I turned around and asked, "Ninth Master, it's really strange, could this be the mysterious tomb of the Heavenly Palace Garden again?" β
In fact, it is strange to say that we got the ancient map of the Heavenly Palace in the Cave of the Dead, however, the ancient map only depicts the construction of the Heavenly Palace made by the earth, and the structure of the tomb inside is not.
Listening to the scalpel, this hanging garden actually exists on eight floors, it is like a hidden pagoda, and it is located in an extremely steep cliff, fluttering like a fairyland.
And those so-called Buddhist temples, ancient buildings are also integrated into them, to put it bluntly, they are all illusions.
The Ninth Master fixed his eyes and said, "This Dali Kingdom is mostly trapped, I'm afraid that we will enter the wrong place again!" β
I didn't show fear on my face, but I smiled.
The scalpel stretched out his right hand, he knew some techniques of searching for dragon points, and with the addition of Taoist techniques, it could be regarded as two in one.
I saw the scalpel flick his fingers, his eyes glared forward, and he muttered a few times in his mouth, and after a few clicks, he signaled to the ninth master, "Is there movement inside?" β
As soon as the words fell, before I could react, the scalpel slipped in.
The ninth master knew the meaning of the scalpel, so without saying a word, he followed in.
I had some doubts in my heart, and I exhaled even more.
There were also some cracked and dry soil under my feet, and I dragged my body, and I also slipped down just now, causing some injuries to my right foot.
I looked around, and my heart was a little apprehensive.
Just as I expected, there was a descending ramp in the distance, and I slid down again.
After that, I was amazed.
It was dim and dark in the distance, my eyes were wrinkled, and my right hand was clenched with a short knife.
There is a hole below, looking through the light, the size of the hole can only drill into one person, listening to the scalpel, this hole seems to have been dug by someone.
The ninth master didn't care so much, he went directly into the hole.
I followed and entered the hole.
I was a little surprised by what happened inside.
What appeared in front of him were hanging ropes, a gallows on the right, a burning coal stove next to it, and a fully nailed cage frame on the left.
I asked, "Ninth Master, this is where prisoners are held, right?" β
Although I didn't see anyone, looking at these torture instruments for interrogating prisoners, my heart became furious.
The Ninth Master frowned and said in a low voice, "Look at how old this torture is, wait-"
Suddenly, the Ninth Master seemed to have discovered something, quickened his pace, and walked towards the right side.
Puzzled, I hurriedly followed.
It wasn't until I turned the torture instrument that I fixed my eyes and exclaimed, "Dead! β
At this time, a bald man in his fifties with a beard was tied to the gallows, but he had been poked in the chest with a knife and died.
The Ninth Master was also stunned, and he whispered in his mouth, "It's really evil!" β
But the ninth master was an acute person after all, and he touched it directly.
Closely, this person's death is also extremely tragic.
I took one look and asked, "Who killed him?" β
This man was dressed in modern clothes, which meant that there was a heat in his body.
Xihe touched his body and was stunned, "Is he still angry?" β
"What? Can you save him? The Ninth Master asked.
Xihe shook his head, looking helpless, "The knife has hit his vital point, he won't live long, it's a miracle that he can survive until now." β
The Ninth Master nudged the person and said in a low voice, "Hey, wake up!" Wake up! β
The scalpel stopped, "He's already very weak, wait a minute, I'll give him a pulse first!" β
The scalpel pushed the ninth master away, and the ninth master could only retreat back in a hurry.
The scalpel gestured at me, and I understood what he meant, and immediately untied the man.
Then, the scalpel touched the man's pulse, shook his head, and said lightly, "Time is running out!" β
The Ninth Master was a little hurried and said, "His grandmother, who did the poison?" β
At this time, the scalpel lightly pressed down on the man's acupuncture points with his hand, and the scalpel really had some skill.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
The man came to his senses, but a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.
He opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw us, he just smiled at us.
The Ninth Master asked, "Who framed you?" β
However, the man's lips moved slightly.
I saw the situation at a glance and reminded, "He seems to have something to say?" β
The Ninth Master hurried close and pressed his ears closer.
The man moved a few times, and after a few strokes, he died.
I was startled and said coldly, "He's dead?" β
Xihe asked, "Master, he, what did he say?" β
The scalpel smiled slightly and said, "I think eighty percent is a person's name." β
The Ninth Master glanced at the scalpel and said in a low voice, "How do you know?" β
It's strange to say that this scalpel has such good hearing?
The scalpel did not hesitate either, and continued, "I can see the shape of his mouth, if I guess correctly, Sambu? β
"Ahh!!h I exclaimed again.
How is Sambu again? Could it be that Sambu really didn't die?
The Ninth Master smiled gloomily, "That's right! β
I was puzzled and asked, "You mean Sambu killed this man?" β
The scalpel nodded.
The Ninth Master couldn't figure it out and asked, "What is his purpose?" Actually using the ancient torture instruments to torture the explorers who came to him, is he crazy! β
Xihe joked and said, "I see, he is a mental patient, and he is a perverted murderer!" β
The Ninth Master jumped and said, "Get out of the way, where are you going to, I see, this person is not an ordinary person, he can also kill Gesambule, and he is the one who controls the entire tomb pattern." I think we have to be careful. β
The scalpel continued, "Honestly, we are his pawns now, and every step we take, it is under his control. β
"That'...... If that'....... case, we're not going to die here," I worried.
