Chapter 267: Underground Tombs
Liu Xuyang's words surprised me, I asked him when he had been here, and he said that it had been several years. I said, since you've been here, why haven't you found the forbidden book on death? Liu Xuyang looked at me again and said meaningfully: "There are some things that you may not be able to find the first time you look for them. And what we're looking for isn't necessarily a death ban. ”
"What's that?"
"Don't ask so much." Liu Xuyang said: "You have to remember, no matter what you find, you have to give it to me, and also, in the main burial chamber we will encounter a hanging coffin, and the evil thing in the hanging coffin can only be dealt with by the Yin and Yang Knife, which is why I want you to come with me." ”
Wu Lele looked across the river, it was pitch black and there was no end in sight, and said that the river was so wide, how could it be passed?
Liu Xuyang didn't answer her, walked to the river and looked at the river, suddenly, there was a sound of water in front, I shone the flashlight there, this photo, I was surprised, I saw a monster sitting on a stone in the water in front of me, about the same size as a baby, covered with white runes, light blue, with clear fins on the body, and then looking at us along the electric light, with blue eyes.
Mi Junfei sighed, and hurriedly approached my side, I was very depressed, a big man was afraid of being like this, Wu Lele and Xia Mengyao were not afraid of being girls at all. But my heart chuckled a little, too.
Wu Lele drew his bow and was about to shoot, but the monster was frightened and jumped into the river, like a frog, with a tom sound, making a sound of water, and after a while it disappeared into the water.
Liu Xuyang said with great dissatisfaction: "That's the water spirit, although it looks terrifying, but it doesn't hurt people, but if you hurt it, it's not easy to mess with." Then he looked around, and said that he would rest here tonight, and took out the field tent from his backpack, and after making one, he said that the woman would go to the tent, and the man would be spared. Mi Junfei and I were extremely dissatisfied, and we blamed him for not bringing a few more tents, but we didn't say this, after all, our journey was far away, and the mountain road was rugged, so it was really inconvenient to bring things.
Mi Junfei and I lit a fire, everyone sat around the fire, and after eating something, Wu Lele and Xia Mengyao entered the tent, Mi Junfei glanced at the tent, and whispered: "Boss, if Brother Yang is not there, we will be one person and one beauty, and we can spend a very romantic night." I replied: "Yes, it's a pity that Brother Yang is here, we can only open our eyes." Mi Junfei glanced at Liu Xuyang and suggested in a soft voice: "Why don't we put Brother Yang down, and then we all go to the tent." "I said your suggestion is a good one, but if we go into the tent, we will both have to be put down. Mi Junfei asked why. I said helplessly: "Because the two of us can't beat the two beauties inside." ”
"Alas! It's really sad......" Mi Junfei sighed.
We talked nonsense again, and when we saw Liu Xuyang sitting there with our eyes closed, we went to break some branches and spread them on the ground, and lay down on the leaves and fell asleep slowly.
Maybe I was too tired, I slept very deeply, until I was woken up by a loud noise the next day, Mi Junfei and I were awakened at the same time, and sat up from the ground one after another, only to see Liu Xuyang, Xia Mengyao and Wu Lele standing by the river, and there was a raft in the river, and the sound just now was the sound of the raft falling into the water.
The raft is very large, one zhang long, one meter wide, I really don't know where Liu Xuyang found such a big tree, I don't know how he cut down this big tree, and then made him into a raft, from cutting down the tree to the completion of the raft, it should not take more than three or four hours, Mi Junfei and I came to the river, completely shocked by the raft, I had to look at Liu Xuyang with admiration.
After eating something casually, we all jumped on the raft and sat carefully in the middle of the raft, looking at the river water, clear and calm, and there were a few fallen leaves of aquatic plants floating on the surface of the river, drifting with the wind, very poetic. Liu Xuyang filled a bottle of water in the river with a leather kettle, and Mi Junfei asked if the water could be drunk? Liu Xuyang said that when we got to the ground later, let alone this water, we could even drink urine, and asked us to fill the kettle with water. Mi Junfei and I hurriedly opened the backpack and found that there was indeed a leather kettle that was exactly the same as Liu Xuyang's, and after washing it, it was filled with water. I took a sip and felt that the river water was sweet and better than bottled mineral water.
The surface of the river is about three zhang wide, after crossing the river, there is a big mountain in front of it, the mountain is high and majestic, the top is lush and green, many are still thousands of years old trees. Liu Xuyang took the compass in front, walked and stopped, looked around from time to time, there was no road up the mountain, I only waved a knife in front of the road, walked up for about a mile or two, and suddenly appeared in front of a wide field, about the size of a classroom, the wide ground was full of gravel, there was not even a single grass, and there were several thousand-year-old trees growing around the wide land, and the branches and leaves were luxuriant and towering into the sky.
"This is it." Liu Xuyang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to me: "Rest and rest first, and then start work later." ”
Liu Xuyang took out the kettle, took a sip, and then took the compass and went forward to investigate. I also took out the kettle and handed it to Wu Lele, Wu Lele took the water and took a small sip and handed it to me, I didn't dare to drink too much, so I also drank a small sip.
After a while, Liu Xuyang picked up the only iron hammer and threw it at me, and the iron hammer was firmly inserted into the ground in front of me, I was surprised, and thought that this guy wanted to PK with me here, but I didn't expect him to say: "Start work!" Take seven steps forward and dig! ”
I lifted the iron pull, but I couldn't lift it at once, it took a lot of effort to bring it up, I took seven steps forward, looked at the ground, it was all rubble, frowned and asked, "Are you sure the ancient tomb is down here?" Liu Xuyang said that it should be right. I shoveled it and found that there were stones underneath, not even a trace of dirt, so I asked, "Are you really sure there is an ancient tomb down here?" Come and see, it's all stones, and it's impossible for people's tombs to be buried under the stones, right? ”
Liu Xuyang said that digging three feet into the ground is a treasure, and it is right here.
Digging about two feet deep, gradually found the soil layer, Wu Lele came over and wiped my sweat with a towel, I was tired, seeing Wu Lele so considerate, the spirit was greatly lifted, and the whole body was full of energy.
Later, when I dug a meter deep, I was really tired, so I dropped the Luolian shovel and sat on the ground to rest, Liu Xuyang glanced at Mi Junfei, Mi Junfei naturally understood what he meant, and walked over to pick up the Luoyang shovel and jumped into the pit to dig. After digging for less than ten minutes, he said that he was tired, threw away the iron and sat on the ground to wipe his sweat, Liu Xuyang lifted the iron without saying a word.
The next thing Liu Xuyang was digging all the time, digging for about an hour or two, and digging a deep and wide hole underneath, suddenly, the iron flew up, and then Liu Xuyang was heard shouting: "Take my knife down!" "We hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the cave, good fellow, so quickly dug a foot deep, and there was a big hole below, about a meter high, half a meter wide, black ground, my heart moved, dug to the entrance!
And Liu Xuyang dug down diagonally, digging a pit every two feet, which looked like a ladder from below, I can't see that this guy is still very thoughtful, it is convenient to go down and come up.
We went down the pit, and I looked at the black hole, and saw that it was surrounded by stones, like a ramps, and then there was a wind blowing out of it from time to time, accompanied by a smell of decay, and the entrance of the cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see the situation inside.
"This is the entrance to the tomb?" I asked.
Liu Xuyang took the flashlight and the big knife and said, "It should be." "I said do you want to light a candle and test the air? Liu Xuyang said: "You don't need to try, the air here is very circulating, and there should be a tomb not far inside." He glanced at me and Wu Lele and said: "The things under the ground are strange, not to mention murder, even cannibalism, if you are afraid, wait for me above, if you are not afraid, follow up." With that, he plunged headlong into the hole.
I persuaded Wu Lele and Xia Mengyao not to go down, but Wu Lele snatched the flashlight in Mi Junfei's hand when he hesitated and drilled into it. Mi Junfei was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "My flashlight ......" Wu Lele said: "If you are afraid, don't come in." Mi Junfei immediately said, "Then I won't go in." So saying, he climbed out of the pit. Xia Mengyao and I glanced at each other, and I was about to persuade her not to go down, but she had already bent down and drilled in.
Because the hole was not high, we had to bend down to enter, and the air inside was indeed circulating, but there was a very strong smell of earth and decay, and the more we walked in, the heavier the smell of decay became.
After walking forward for about seven or eight minutes, we came to the end, and there was a burial chamber in front of us, about the size of a house, and we glanced in with a flashlight, and gasped, and the ground was full of dead bodies, no flesh, all skeletons, and some clothes that had not turned into ashes, and the ground was tattered, and we could not tell what age it was.
Wu Lele and Xia Mengyao were so shocked that they didn't make a sound for a long time, I asked why there were so many dead people, Liu Xuyang said: "I'm afraid it's the person who accompanied the funeral back then." "I greeted the ancestor of the owner of the tomb in my heart, the real tama is too cruel, so many people need to accompany the death when he dies, he deserves to be swept away by us.
Liu Xuyang said again: "Since this is a burial room, next door should be the main burial chamber, but why is there no way here?" As he spoke, he took out the compass and walked in, because he didn't look at the road, he clicked and stepped on a skull, and the skull was shattered, and Liu Xuyang still stepped forward without looking at it.
Wu Lele and I saw that our scalps were numb.
In the end, Liu Xuyang stood under a wall, then looked back, and said, "What about Mi Junfei?" "I said I didn't come down. Liu Xuyang shouted angrily: "Tell him to come down immediately, and take down the Luoyang shovel by the way." ”
When I turned around, I felt a black thing flash through the hole, it was so fast that I didn't see it clearly, I thought I was dazzled, and I didn't care.
