Chapter 19: The Ancient Well
The ancient well mentioned by Yi Daxi God is actually a hole made of gray stone bricks.
The mouth of this hole looks more than a cut away from the ancient well, and it is no exaggeration to say that if someone hadn't led the way and said that this was an ancient well, I would have thought it was a pile of stones.
Directly above the wellhead, there is a large stone slab covered with moss, weighing about two or three hundred catties, if this is carried up by Yi Daxi God himself, then I can't help but admire him
Standing by the well, Yi Lin looked left and right, wrinkled his little nose and sniffed for a while, and nodded: "The corpse qi down here is very heavy, much heavier than the last time I came." ”
"Shall we go down in a moment?" Qibao asked cautiously, standing on the edge of the well, poked the slate with his hand, and looked at us worriedly: "It's not dangerous, right?" ”
"Since the Great Joy God asked us to come over, then there is definitely no danger." I laughed and said, "Even if he can take us on a risk, he can't take his own grandson on the risk." ”
In this process, the fat uncle didn't speak, he circled around the ancient well twice, I don't know what he felt out of his pocket, and patted it on the corner of the broken slate.
"Move from this place, first warp the slate, and then it's easy to do."
"Why?" Qibao was a little puzzled: "The burrs over there are stinging, and they are carrying their hands." ”
"I don't believe you'll try." The fat uncle smiled, took two steps back, and motioned for Qibao to move.
Qibao's character is very stubborn.,It's definitely the kind that doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.,I think there's nothing wrong with it.,It's useless to let others persuade you.。
Walking forward, Qibao clasped his hands together and buckled them to the more rounded edge of the slate, and then slammed into it.
Let's get it!
"Not almost."
Qibao said, his forehead was bruised, and his arms kept trembling: "I think if I work harder, this stone slab will be able to fly."
Hearing him say this, no one said anything.
The fat uncle and I stood on the side smoking and watching the play, and Yi Lin did the same, watching Qibao make a fool, he couldn't stop laughing.
After less than ten seconds, Qibao calmly let go of his hand, walked to the gap that the fat uncle said, and continued to lift the slate.
"Let you pretend." I smirked, "You know it's awesome, right?" ”
"The slate is too heavy to move normally, so I don't believe it can be done here."
As he spoke, Qibao raised his hand suddenly, and directly lifted the two or three hundred catties of stone slabs into a crack.
Although the overall movement is not big, and the slate has not been completely lifted, this is a great improvement from the previous situation of not moving at all!
Seeing this scene, not to mention Qibao wondering, I also couldn't figure it out.
Although Qibao's strength is not as strong as that of a humanoid monster like Chang Longxiang, his strength is also much greater than that of ordinary people.
Not to mention being able to remove the slate at once, it should be possible to move it slowly.
But if you think about it, the previous situation of not moving at all is not logical at all.
"Uncle, did you do something?" Qibao put down the stone slab, raised his hand to look at it, and asked curiously, "You smeared these red powders?" ”
I couldn't help but be curious, I went up and took a look, I don't need to touch it to know that these red powders are cinnabar.
"There are too many corpses below, and most of the corpse qi can't be dispersed, so I sucked the stone slab." The fat uncle smiled: "This gap is the only place that can vent the corpse qi, take a touch of cinnabar, temporarily drive away the corpse qi, won't you be able to lift it?" ”
"No, isn't there a seam on the side?" Qibao pointed to the gap next to him: "It's not enough to vent the corpse here?" ”
The fat uncle glanced at it, shook his head, and said that it was not enough.
"Not enough."
As he spoke, the fat uncle slapped Qibao and urged him to move the slate away quickly, otherwise he would have to let the corpse breath suck in for a while.
This time, it wasn't just Qibao who moved it alone, plus me and Uncle Fat, and the three of us worked together to move the slate.
Although the process is quite painful, but overall it is not bad, the standard handle is gentle, and it is not directly thrown off.
"Xiao Yi, this place is not too far from your house, and no one usually comes?" I asked curiously, and when I stood at the mouth of the well and looked inside, I saw a dark scene everywhere I could see, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Yes, but no one has touched the slate, because my grandfather said that there are ghosts down here, and they are not clean." Yi Lin spread his hands: "In addition, no one can move the slate, and over time, no one will be curious about this well." ”
"The entrance of the cave is a little small, I don't know what the situation is below" Qibao is not afraid of danger, lying on the side of the well, taking a flashlight to the bottom of the well: "The space is quite large, but the top is a little narrower, and it is difficult for the fat uncle to go down." ”
"There aren't so many people, I'll just go down alone." Yi Lin said with a smile, untied the joyful gong from his waist, and said to us with great interest: "I haven't controlled a corpse for a long time, this time I want to have a good time!" ”
Without waiting for us to stop him, Yi Lin ran to the edge of the well, looked inside, and asked us to help pull the rope, and he could go down alone.
Not to mention that the fat uncle is not at ease, even me and Qibao are a little worried, looking at each other for a while, and finally I said to accompany him down, and the remaining two are outside.
Before coming, Yi Daxi God instructed us to bring a thick hemp rope, which seems to be used now.
One end was tied to the trunk of the big tree, Qibao and Uncle Fat watched and helped us pull it at any time, and the other end was tied to Yi Lin and carefully put him down.
When he fell to the bottom of the well and shouted at me to come down, I climbed down the rope.
The contents of this well are richer than I imagined.
The bottom of the well is not a mud floor, it should have been built artificially, the ground is covered with a layer of green bricks, and there are some patterns of dragons and phoenixes carved on it, but it is not clear to see, and the outlines are a little blurred.
Holding a flashlight and looking left and right, the situation here is indeed similar to what I thought, like a bell mouth, big above and below.
At the bottom of the well, only there was a big black hole in front of me on the left, and the rest of the place was a stone wall, which was completely sealed.
"Big brother, you can pay attention for a while, just follow me." Yi Lin said, also holding a flashlight in his hand, carefully leading the way in front: "This is the first time I've come down to this place, let's be careful." ”
Seeing his calm appearance of a little adult, to be honest, I think this kid is very cute and responsible!
If I have children in the future, like him, I don't know how much I can save me.
"Xiao Yi, how many corpses do you control at one time?" I followed Yi Lin and asked curiously.
"Not much." Yi Lin said helplessly: "The more corpses, the more difficult it is to control their souls, my grandfather can control a large number of them, but I can only control two or three at most." ”
"Two or three?" I was stunned: "I thought it was a dozen!" ”
"I can catch that much just by chasing corpses, but isn't that to take them to fight?" Yi Lin said embarrassedly: "Fighting and rushing are two different things." ”
"That's right, it's definitely a lot more difficult." I laughed.
Walking through the big hole at the bottom of the well, there is a tunnel inside, but it is not long, about 20 meters to the end.
Actually, I was a little confused at that time, because this place is not like a modern one, but like a relic left over from ancient times.
At the end of the tunnel is a stone door, which is two meters high and one meter five wide, and there is a stone statue on each side of the stone door.
The stone sculpture on the left is half a meter high, with a humanoid torso, but there is a skull on its neck, and the other is the same, except that its skull has a lot of flesh that has not yet decayed and disappeared.
"What is this?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it either" Yi Lin's voice trembled a little, probably scared, looked at the two stone statues with a pale face, and dodged to me: "How can this door be opened?" ”
"You ask me??" I looked at this kid in a daze: "Where do I know where to go??" ”
At this moment, I only heard a crisp click, and the two stone statues placed outside the stone door opened their mouths very abruptly.
Only then did I realize that the two stone statues did not seem to be solid, but hollow
"There's a word here."
Yi Lin said, gently tugging at me and motioning for me to look up.
Following what he pointed out, I looked up and saw two words engraved on the door frame of the stone door.
Caverns.
