Chapter 13: Dissolution (II)

Everyone was waiting anxiously, and suddenly an arrow broke through the clouds, and with a sharp roar, it shot straight into the air, and it was the two people who visited the tomb who gave a signal—there was no poisonous mirage in the deep valley under the top of the mountain.

The group of thieves cheered, and each rolled up his arms and sleeves to ask Ying to go down to rob the tomb. Chen Blind has been a thief for a few years, and he knows that this is not Song Jiang's time, if he wants to convince the public, he can't just talk about it, in addition to fighting righteousness and squandering money, he must also take the lead in the soldiers, share the hardships and hardships, and when robbing the tomb, he must do it himself, and he must not hesitate to risk his life, only in front of his subordinates shows the real excellence, this golden chair can sit firmly. Twenty or thirty good hands with sharp hands and feet were immediately selected, and he personally led them to carry the centipede down the ladder.

The poison in the deep valley may just be afraid of the sun, or temporarily driven back by lime and hidden somewhere in the tomb, and now it is still too early for all of them to enter the underground palace to carry treasures, so we can only bring some elite people who dare to die down to completely clear the hidden dangers in the deep valley.

These dozens of people hung on the mountain ladder with soft rope hooks and centipedes, and climbed the cliff to penetrate the clouds and fog, and the gravel and soil in the turquoise crevices were scraped down by the bamboo ladder. The distance between the cliffs on both sides is narrow, and a small stone can also make a big movement when it falls, and the ears are full of echoes, and there are many slippery mosses and vines on the stone wall, as long as there is an accidental stumbling, slipping and falling, or the bamboo ladder is not hung firmly, it will fall into the deep valley and fall to death. This is a double test of mental and physical strength, but the bandits are all outlaws, and they follow the title and climb to the bottom without a sound.

After passing through several layers of clouds and mist, the darker the light, the water beads seeped on the walls, the cold air was pressing, and the thieves estimated that the closer they were to the underground palace, the heavier the yin qi, and the ancient tomb was hidden in sight, but the spirit was lifted. At that time, the main lighting methods in the mountains were burning bamboo chips, pine candle torches, and horse lanterns using foreign oil, which were not affordable for everyone. However, in addition to horse lamps and gas lamps, the tomb robbers also bought mining lamps from the owners of Oriental mines, and there were all kinds of them, and there was no unified equipment. At this time, they turned on the miner's lamp and horse lantern tied to their bodies, and for a while, dozens of fireflies seemed to be lit up on the damp and dim mountain wall, and the stars were up and down, swaying up and down.

Only Chen was blind, he had night eyes, and he didn't need a lamp or candle to explore the way, he went down first, and he had already reached the end of the deep ravine. This crack on the mountain of Bottle Mountain becomes narrower and narrower the lower it goes, and the narrowest place is that the two of them can't turn around side by side, although it is said that it is to the bottom, but the crack cuts through the belly of the mountain and continues to extend downward.

The belly of the mountain is exposed to the cracks, and there is a large karst cave, which is extremely deep and wide, and only the evil wind is blowing, although you can't see the distance, you can sense that the gloomy atmosphere inside is extremely deep. A large hall with heavy eaves is under the cracks, this hall is tall and solemn, paved with glazed tiles like fish scales, and a hole has collapsed under the cracks in the mountain, and the wooden rafters under the tiles are exposed, and a lot of lime has just been thrown on them. There is a layer of mercury frost hanging on the roof of the cave, and it seems that there was a lot of mercury stored in the underground palace before, because the mountain has cracked, and it has long been wiped away, leaving only many black mercury spots. Chen Blind landed lightly on the rafters, caught his footsteps, walked to a stable place, and then whistled, wanting to contact the live monkey who came down first and the two people jumping in the ground.

But the top of the main hall of the underground palace was full of clouds and mist, and there was no shadow of those two people. At this time, Hua Maogui took the rest of the people 6 and followed, Hua Maogui looked at the situation left and right, and asked, "How is the big shopkeeper?" ”

Chen Blind said: "It's a side hall." The whereabouts of the two brothers who came to visit earlier are unknown, so you should take a closer look and search the roof of the temple first. Hua Maogui knew that the dungeon was full of dangers, so he hurriedly made a gesture, and the group of thieves showed their equipment, picked up the lantern, leaned over and pasted on the glazed tiles, groping for the two missing accomplices.

The group of thieves scattered and touched the past, from the top of the collapsed hall to the other side, and there was no single figure, two big living people were born and died, but not long ago, they also shot arrows from the bottom of the valley, if there was an accident during the time when the group of thieves came down, with the sensitivity of Chen's ears, it was impossible not to hear movement in the rift valley of this sound, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart that this bottle mountain is a medicine mountain, and I can't wait to look at it, there is nothing in the ancient tomb, once there is something, it must be ruthless, thinking of these, I feel that the eerie teaching people in the underground palace are explosive.

To the edge of the top of the hall, you can see that the cave behind the hall is all built with stones, surrounded by some wells, railings, cloisters, and rockeries made of lake stones, like a garden, the recesses are accumulating a lot of foul-smelling sewage, and there are many rotten woods. There are many stone troughs built on the roof of the cave, but I don't know what they are used for. The thieves saw that the entrance to the side hall was blocked, so they had to return to the place where the roof of the temple collapsed. The flower ant threw an inch of phosphorus down, and burned the dark hall to the sky, only to see that the vermilion lacquer pillar in the hall was brilliant, and it was not much more than the palace, so that the inch phosphorus could only be illuminated for a moment, and it was extinguished before it could be looked closely.

Chen Blind made a move, and immediately two thieves dragged over a bamboo ladder and hung it down the wooden rafters under the tiles, and a few of them were bold enough to carry the German-made twenty rings, and the head of the machine was wide open and went down the bamboo ladder to the hall.

Although he knew that the air was circulating, in order to prevent the mirage bandits, he still brought a pigeon cage with white pigeons. As soon as they arrived in the temple, the pigeon in the cage seemed to be frightened, and fluttered endlessly, and everyone looked at each other, and their hearts hung in their throats, and they carried a lantern in the temple, and immediately saw that the situation was different, and they were busy, so please come down and check it.

Blind Chen shook Xiao Shenfeng upside down and led people down the bamboo ladder, only to see that the few thieves who came down first were all colorless. It turns out that there is no coffin in this side hall, the ground paved with purple stone bricks is placed with armor, knives, spears, bows, shields, axes and arrows, as well as dozens of sets of saddles, it is really like a warehouse, I think it is the burial things of the dead soldiers and generals, but when you look at the hall, even the blind man Chen feels that the back of his neck is cold.

I saw that the clothes and shoes of the two of them were spread flat on the ground, and the buttons of their clothes were not unfastened, and the pigeon cage they brought was thrown aside, and the cage door was closed and there was no damage, but the pigeon inside was gone. Seeing this situation, Chen Blind and Hua Ant and the others immediately remembered the legend of the place where the corpse was moved from Bottle Mountain: When the corpse enters this mountain, it will turn into a stream of yin qi, is it true that there is such an evil thing?

Chen's blind man's mind moved, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pick up the lights and pull the pile of clothes with his feet, and suddenly saw the light of the little god blade flickering, and he knew that there was something strange in the palace, so he hurriedly looked around, stretched his ears, and listened carefully, although he didn't notice anything wrong, but there were patches of cold chestnuts on his skin, but he seemed to be silently urging: "Run!" Run!"

Chen's blind man has encountered many thrilling incidents, and his intuition about danger is the experience gained from escaping death again and again, in exchange for his life, to say that he is seventy or eighty percent accurate, where can he still take care of those clothes, whistle and lead the crowd to reflexively retreat. He was in the center of the temple to check the clothes of the two missing thieves, but at this moment he turned around and retreated, and just took a step, he suddenly felt that someone grabbed him on the shoulder behind him.

Although Chen Blind was not a frightened bird, but when it happened suddenly, he never expected that someone would dare to pat him on the shoulder, but he was frightened and shivered, and when he came out, he was even more shocked when he looked back. It turned out that Hua Ma, who was following him, somehow had her face full of pus, as if her whole body was dripping with candle oil.

Hua Antchean was frightened and painful, pus also flowed from his mouth and nose, and he couldn't speak, so he had to grab Chen's blind shoulder, and after a while, the flesh and blood of his outstretched arm were all festering, and even he couldn't believe it, and he raised his hand in front of him to watch, just like that, in the blink of an eye, he watched his arm turn into pus inch by inch like a wax body when it was hot.

The group of thieves was frightened to death, and they didn't know what to do, and in a moment, the head of the ant was already rotten, and the headless corpse was not able to fall down, and then it dissolved and dissolved, and a set of empty clothes fell on the ground, among which only a large pool of pus remained, and this living person "melted" in an instant? No one could see what had happened to him.

Hua Maogui is a cronie of the leader of the group of thieves in Jieling, and his status among the group of thieves is quite high, and he didn't expect to be killed like this, which made Chen Blind feel cold in his heart: "Isn't this kidnapper hitting the yin qi of the corpse removal ground?" is so evil, ...... "Rao is changeable, and it is difficult to deal with unheard of upheavals, so he can only withdraw first and then do it."

At this moment, there was a sudden light sound in the gloomy hall, and the movement was extremely weird, and more than a hundred large centipedes with colorful patterns were all four or five inches long, with transparent saliva flowing from their mouths, crawling into the clothes of the ants and swallowing the pus. Closely followed by the gaps in the pillars of the palace, there are also many centipedes, spiders, and palace guards, and poisonous insects are full of red stripes, and the strange poison is incomparable.

It turned out that after the abandonment of the medicine furnace in Bottle Mountain, many medicinal herbs and gold stones were left behind, and after a long time, the medicinal gas dispersed into the soil and stones, causing the five poisons to gather. After the ancient tomb was cracked, these poisonous insects used the Yin Mansion as a nest, devouring each other on weekdays, passing poison, and borrowing the effect of medicinal stones, all of which were extremely poisonous. The venom in the human skin will instantly rot into pus and blood, as long as it is flesh and blood, hair, bones, tendons and marrow are not left, and often burrow into the tomb to bite the dead, turn the corpse into sewage and suck the pure earth, and the ignorance of the earth will move the corpse to explain this rare and strange phenomenon.

The poisonous insects were dispersed by the lime, hiding in the depths of the gap between the temple and the mountain wall, lurking and not moving, and it was difficult to catch people off guard at this moment. The group of thieves was in chaos, one after another, some people were poisoned, the venom was violent and abnormal, as long as a little body was splashed, it would instantly turn into pus, and the heart-rending wails and screams were heard in the chaotic hall. Someone pulled the trigger in a panic, and the bullets flew in the hall, and suddenly several people became accomplices, and the resentful spirits under the guns were all gone, and in the blink of an eye, the thieves who came with the thief were dead.

Although Kunlun Mole, the mute beside Blind Chen, couldn't speak, his mind was active, he saw the opportunity so quickly, seeing that this underground palace was full of five poisons, and he couldn't allow the living to stay, so he hurriedly dragged his master Chen Blind and retreated to the corner of the hall. Although his body is tall, he tends to retreat like lightning, and if he climbs the bamboo ladder straight out, he will be devoured by the poisonous insects that are rushing behind him, so he violently pulls the centipede and hangs on the mountain ladder.

The bamboo ladder was so strong and strong that he tore it off, and pulled off many of the rotten wooden rafters on the temple, and the bricks and lime on it fell together, splashing white smoke on the ground. Poisonous insects such as centipedes are afraid of lime, and when they choke on the lime, they will twist their stomachs and die, and when the lime splashes, they will all scatter in all directions, avoiding Ruby in an empty space.

Chen Blind and the others covered their eyes, mouth and nose to avoid this flying lime, and caught a glimpse of the destruction of the bamboo ladder, and wanted to escape from the palace gate, but the wooden rafters fell off a lot, and they couldn't bear a beam on the ceiling. This beam is one of the horizontal rafters in the "nine horizontal, eight vertical and one golden beam", although it is not the main beam, there are also several hug thickness, due to disrepair and often eroded by wind and rain, at this time it is "boom" with a lot of tiles and wooden blocks from the main beam inclined to slide down, directly according to the group of thieves smashed.

If this beam is smashed down, it really has the power of thunder, and even if it is avoided, it will be forced into a place without lime, and will be besieged by poisonous insects, so that all the people who enter the temple will die. Mute Kunlun Moeller was poor and wandering in his early years, received the favor of the blind man Chen, secretly vowed to follow the service with all his heart, at this time to save people's hearts, pushed away everyone, ripped off the horse steps of the stake, made a posture of the king of Tota, opened his big hand like a fan, and actually caught the falling wooden beam, the whole body was rushed down by inertia, even if the dumb natural Kunlun divine power also felt that his eyes were black, his throat was sweet, his eyes were sweet, and he almost vomited blood, and the horse lantern hanging on his chest was almost extinguished by this strong wind, and he broke his body and bones, leaving a way for the blind man to live.

Chen Blind was reluctant to let the dumb man who had been loyal to him for many years die in the underground palace and wanted to go back to pick him up, but the rest of the thieves knew that it was a trivial matter for the dumb to die, and it was the most important thing to take his life, if the thief died in this tomb, the group of thieves was a plate of loose sand without the dragons, and at this moment, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of the order of respect and humility, so he couldn't help but say that he gave up his life to drag Chen Blind Man, knocked open the door of the hall, and dragged him out.

Chen's blind heart was on fire, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, he couldn't shout when he opened his mouth, he couldn't shout, he saw that the dumb man could no longer support the weight of the beam, and he would vomit blood and die at any time, but several centipedes with mottled patterns had already taken advantage of the stone dust to settle down, and swam and jumped on his legs, I am afraid that before he was crushed to death by the beam, he would have let the highly poisonous centipede bite into a pus and blood.
