(PS: Brothers and friends, the new book is rising, please give me some patience, I will work hard to update, write better content, and at the same time ask everyone to vote for me with your precious recommendation!) )
"That's even more true, if I'm right, this ancient tomb may not be built in the Yang Chamber, but hidden in the Netherworld..."
"Ground... Hell? How could such a thing be? ”
"Old Itch" was infected by Wu Xie's tone, and looked at Wu Xie in disbelief.
"Do you remember what the village head Lao Liu said, the legend of the Huangquan Waterfall and the galloping soldiers in the mountains said by the Taoist priest of the Qing Dynasty?"
"That's... Of course, I remember that there is a yellow in Tianmen Mountain... Huangquan Waterfall, this waterfall is the yin and yang... The passage of the two worlds, don't you say it's superstition? ”
"No, now it seems that this is not superstition, but the words of our predecessors refer to something else, you recall, the waterfall we fell down just now, because of the relationship between the underwater hot springs, the water flow presents a strange yellow, if I expect it to be right, it is the legendary Huangquan Waterfall!"
The more Wu Xie spoke, the brighter his eyes became, as if he had discovered some new continent, and his tone was excited.
After hearing this, "Old Itch" and Master Liang felt very reasonable, and after talking for a while, the group of four decided to go into the water to find out.
Then the four of them ate something hastily, and then jumped into the water again, swimming into the turbulence below the waterfall.
"Little Third Master, when I heard you say this, when I jumped down just now, I seemed to vaguely see an iron chain under the whirlpool of this waterfall, could it be the iron chain used to guide the way?"
"Old Wu, I'm dropping... When it falls, plugs in... Inserted into the water five... Five or six meters deep, it seems to really look ... I saw an iron chain plugged in... Stuck in the underwater turbulence..."
Listening to Chu Mo's words, "Old Itch" also frowned, and then said that he had seen the iron chain.
The four of them held their breath, resisted the pressure of the current, illuminated the way with a flashlight, and dived all the way;
Soon he dived into the turbulence five or six meters below, and sure enough, he saw an iron chain hanging there.
Ignoring anything else, a few people grabbed the chain and went down vigorously, passed the turbulence area, and followed the chain, and sure enough, they reached the back of the waterfall.
Here, the "old itch" is not good at tricks, after all, if you accidentally put yourself in.
A natural cave appeared behind the waterfall, but there were traces of man-made repairs;
The front of the cave is full of stone figurines, and a section of bluestone-paved stone steps leads to the cave.
A few people walked up with the package on their backs, and in about a few minutes they entered the cave, where there was a rusty altar, which was supposed to be used by the people of the society to worship;
Not far behind the cave, a cliff more than 100 meters high appeared;
The flashlight illuminated the dark depths below the cliff, and in the faint light, I could only see the situation below the cliff roughly;
Beneath the cliff are two football fields, crisscrossed by wood-like things;
If you look closely, those are all white bones, one by one, which makes people's scalps explode, this is clearly a mass grave;
The hollow space of about twenty or thirty square meters below in the center does not even have a single corpse, which looks quite strange.
Wu Xie didn't know what he thought, and his face showed a cloudy and uncertain look;
On the contrary, the eyes of the "old itch" were full of excitement and eagerness, as if there was something good underneath.
Master Liang looked shocked, presumably he had never seen such a battle before;
"There's a burial pit down there, so it looks like it's not far from the real tomb..."
Wu Xie put forward his own opinions for a long time.
"Little Third Master, everyone is estimated to be tired enough, rest on the cliff for one night, and we will go down tomorrow?"
Listening to Chu Mo's words, Wu Xie also felt that he was a little tired, so it was better to recuperate on the cliff;
And even if there is an accident, I will have the strength to run away.
Although "Old Itch" was eager to go down immediately, he also knew that Chu Mo's suggestion was reasonable.
After eating and drinking enough on the cliff, the group left one person to keep vigil, and the others went to sleep.
About three or four hours later, the "old itch" woke up one after another.
After cleaning up, Chu Mo took the lead and climbed down the not very steep cliff, and "Old Itch" followed without hesitation.
Wu Xie followed behind the two, and as for Master Liang, there was a hesitant look on his face, and he really wanted to run away now;
But he had no food on him, no weapons on him, and if he couldn't get out, he would follow.
Descending to the bottom of the cliff, all the white bones that greet your eyes are forest, and there are many stone figurines;
The group of four looked around with a flashlight, and soon found the strange place they saw on the cliff.
Although there is a flashlight to guide the way, there is no so-called "ghost hitting the wall" in the original book;
But the light led those big rats over, and dozens or hundreds of rats rushed towards them in a dense crowd;
"I'm kao, what's this... Where does the consumption come from... Mouses? ”
"Old Itch" looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared and swallowed his saliva.
"You go first, I'll deal with the rats!"
Chu Mo shouted, and the horizontal knife in his arms came out of the sheath like lightning, and split the first mouse that pounced on him into two pieces with one knife;
With the death of one mouse, the other rats pounced on them even more fearlessly, densely packed and made people's scalps explode;
However, Chu Mo did not panic, slashing horizontally and vertically, constantly chopping the rats away;
Under one knife, all the heads are slashed, it can be said that one man is the key, and ten thousand people are not open!
But I don't know how many rats have accumulated in it, and after killing for more than ten minutes, it has not decreased, but there is a tendency to increase and more;
Seeing this, Chu Mo frowned slightly, if he continued to kill like this, he would be exhausted to death if he was not bitten to death;
Besides, he still has to save his strength to deal with the candle Jiuyin in the back, how can he have the kung fu to deal with these little minions.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo decisively abandoned those rats, took three steps and made two steps and went straight to Wu Xie and them.
After running for about three or two minutes, they arrived at the sunken open space where Wu Xie and the others were;
The soil on the surface of this sunken soil pit was shoveled away, and Wu Xie and several people were holding guns to kill the rats that pounced one by one to show deterrence;
Because of their own containment, the number of rats here is not very large, and they are not under great pressure;
But after a while, those fierce rats who are devouring their own kind are likely to chase after them, and then their own group is likely to be eaten into skeletons and be accompanied by the skeletons here;
Chu Mo knew that there was a thief hole here, so he raised his flashlight and looked around, and saw a dark hole in the middle of the pit;
"There's a thief hole over there, go down from which thief hole!"
Chu Mo snorted coldly, then took out the signal flare, and shot it out into the sky with a "snap".
The meteor-like signal flare suddenly shot into the air, sparks in all directions, and suddenly "snapped" and rebounded;
It seemed to hit something, and then it fell straight down, and the moment it almost hit the ground, it bloomed with a "poof".
