Chapter 15: The Iron Box

After a few rounds, Black Snake was finally killed.

Zi bit the head of the black snake with his mouth and dragged it into the darkness with great difficulty. I kept shining a flashlight on it and dragged the snake behind a stone, shone it in all directions for a while, and then asked Zhong Ling'er: "How to break?" To go in or to get out? Zhong Ling'er said let's go in. I admire her courage, she was not afraid of a poisonous snake, and she had to go in, it can be seen that she is amazingly courageous, and has the spirit of self-sacrifice, such a ** child is worth having.

I handed the flashlight to Zhong Ling'er and walked ahead with a lighter. Slowly walked to the opposite side of the stone chamber, and found that two holes appeared in front of me, one left and one right. Both openings are more than two meters high and one meter wide, and there are traces of artificial excavation. I looked back at Zhong Ling'er and asked her which way to go, Zhong Ling'er's eyes kept looking at the hole on the right, I thought she wanted to take that one, so I walked in.

I only took two steps, and suddenly there was a sound behind me, I immediately turned around and shone it with a flashlight, and found that there was a **** standing two meters away from us, and there was blood at the corner of its mouth, which was the **** that had just fought with the black snake. It looked at me with a pair of white eyes, as if it had something to say to me.

Zhong Ling'er also stopped and looked at the **** in great surprise.

Is this little guy here to ask us for a favor? Although I knew that it couldn't understand human speech, I still asked in a matter-of-fact manner, "Little brother, thank you for saving us just now, do you need us to do anything for you?" ”

Zi just looked up at me, naturally he didn't say a word, didn't come, and didn't leave.

Because Da Hei was hanged by the **** Gu**, especially the hideous appearance of the **** who hanged at the same time as Da Hei has been lingering in front of me, so I have a kind of vigilance against **** subconsciously, but this **** is different, maybe it saved us, I think it is very good, so I took a step forward and wanted to ask, but it took a step back and turned around and ran into the hole on the left.

"Huh?" Zhong Ling'er frowned slightly, I asked her what was wrong, and she said that the **** seemed to be leading us in.

I think it's weird, it just saved us, and now it's leading us into that hole, what the hell does this little guy want?

Could it be that it is trying to lead us to the soul of the Great Black?

"Go in?" I asked Zhong Ling'er.

Zhong Ling'er nodded.

After walking about a dozen steps inside, there was a sudden emptiness in front of me, and I looked down with my flashlight, and there was a stone path in front of me, and there were three black objects lying on the road. I shone a flashlight at the black object, and I couldn't help but pour a breath of cold air, it turned out to be three dead bodies!

The three corpses were close together, their heads facing this direction, as if they were about to run up from the bottom of the stone steps, but they fell to the ground and died before they could reach the top.

I have a natural fear of the dead, if Zhong Ling'er wasn't here, I would have turned around and flashed a person, but seeing Zhong Ling'er standing beside me and not moving, I was embarrassed to go.

Zhong Ling'er used a flashlight to shine at the bottom of the stone steps, and found that the stone steps continued to extend downward, seemingly endless, and the ground below was pitch black, as if leading to hell.

I remembered the legend about this cave again, it seems that the legend is true, there are indeed dead people in it, but what makes me very puzzled is that the **** brought us here just now to ask us to see the dead?

Zhong Ling'er walked slowly, and I hesitated for a moment to follow.

When I came to a dead body, I saw that it was ****** withered, its clothes were old and rotten, and it seemed that it would turn to ashes when touched, but the hair was still there, and it was very permeable, which showed that they had been dead for many years.

I saw that there was a box under the body of this dead body, which was held by both hands and tightly protected in front of **, so I squatted down and took a lighter to take a photo, and found that the box was only the size of a shaving box, copper, covered with dust, I muttered: "What is this, this person holds it so tightly, is it a treasure inside?" ”

Zhong Ling'er also squatted down and shone the tin box with a flashlight.

I told Zhong Ling'er that this cave used to be a bandit's den, and although it was swept away by officers and soldiers, I don't deny that there are all kinds of treasures stolen by bandits, maybe this box is a priceless night pearl, and then proposed: "No matter what is in this box, those who see it have a share, and we will divide it equally." Zhong Ling'er said: "It's all for you, I don't want it." ”

Very good.

I put my hands together and said to the dead body: "Senior, you have protected this box before you die, it must be your precious treasure, now that you have ****, let me keep it for you for the time being, I have no malice, don't be surprised." After speaking, he looked left and right, hoping to find a wooden stick, **** or something to pick out the iron box from the hands of the dead corpse, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't even find a piece of wood slag, so he had to "explain" to the dead corpse again, and carefully picked up the iron box from its hands.

The iron box is very dusty, it is estimated that it is related to copper, I blew off the dust on it, and found that the iron box is engraved with relief, which is a very strange pattern and seal ** very ancient words, the reason why it is said to be ancient, because I don't know these words, and Mongolian is a slight similarity.

I flipped it over and over again, and the strange thing was that the tin box looked like a whole **, and it couldn't be opened at all.

Zhong Ling'er also observed the iron box curiously, I handed it to her, she shook her head and didn't answer, I said this can't be Pandora's magic treasure box, maybe there is a demon locked in this box? I'll leave it alone for now, and I'll look into it when I get out.

Standing up, I looked under the stone steps, and asked Zhong Ling'er if she wanted to go down, Zhong Ling'er said to wait for her to take a look first, she said while taking out the paper with the eight characters of Da Hei's birthday from her pocket, looked at me, and told me to turn around, I asked her **, do you want to relieve yourself? Zhong Ling'er said: "I use his birth date to see if his soul is here." "I said, look, what did you tell me to turn around? Zhong Ling'er said that this is a secret technique, and others can't look at it. I snorted and said I couldn't understand it, are you still afraid that I will steal from the teacher to learn the arts? Zhong Ling'er's face sank, obviously unhappy, and I had to turn around boringly.

Zhong Ling'er squirmed behind my back for a while, I was curious, and I wanted to sneak a peek at how she got it, but when I thought of Zhong Ling'er's straight face, I had to hold back. It took five or six minutes to hear Zhong Ling'er say, "Okay." ”

I quickly turned around and asked, "Is the spirit of the big black here?" Zhong Ling'er shook her head slowly.

"Absent?" I found beads of sweat on her forehead and asked her why she was sweating, Zhong Ling'er didn't answer me, just said lightly, "Let's go out." After saying that, I turned around and left, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Didn't your mother say that you were here?" Zhong Ling'er said as she walked: "My mother said that in a dark place, it is not necessarily in this cave. "I'm so depressed, since I'm not sure it's here, where is it? It's so dangerous, if it weren't for the **** to rescue in the stone room, I'm afraid that we will both die in Shekou! And you used Da Hei's birth date to test whether his soul was here at the beginning, isn't it too late?

But I didn't say this, judging from the beads of sweat on Zhong Ling'er's forehead, it was not easy for her to use Da Hei's birth date to measure whether Da Hei's soul was here. She believed in her mother very much, preconceived, and thought that Da Hei's soul was here, so she came in, but after coming in, she didn't find Da Hei's soul, and there was a poisonous snake in it, and now she encountered an endless downhill road, so she had to use the last trick - Bazi to measure the soul.

Later, I learned that this soul measurement with eight characters is indeed a laborious thing, ordinary goddesses can't do it, and it is not easy for Zhong Ling'er to know this trick at such a young age.

"Where's the big black soul?" I looked at Zhong Ling'er and asked.

Zhong Linger said she didn't know.

I was very disappointed, I thought that Zhong Ling'er would succeed when she went out, but I didn't expect to find an iron box that couldn't be opened, Da Hei's soul was still missing, I thought Da Hei's mother would be even more sad.

I went out of the cave very depressed, it was already dark, and I saw a kerosene lamp at the entrance of the cave in the distance, and the light was swaying. I looked around for a while, grabbed my hair and asked, "Where is Wu Lele?" ”
