Chapter 57: The Hole Under the House (2)
The narrow hole was black, and with an arc-shaped circle of light shining down, a layer of red and black powder emerged, and fine dust rolled and gushed under the light pillar of the wolf's eye flashlight, gradually drifting up.
Qin Wufu poked his head over, his palm stirred the air to the tip of his nose, and sniffed carefully.
"Hmm...... There is no smell now, and the dansha should be dissolved and you can go down. Qin Wufu nodded and said.
After saying that, he took the lead in carrying the shovel to his shoulder, tied a nylon rope to his body, and climbed the cave wall a little down.
Descending to the bottom of the cave, Qin Wuyong stepped on the mercury sulfide produced after the reaction with Dansha with his shoes, making a creaking sound, he pushed these red and black powders with a shovel, and below were a few glazed tiles that had been broken by steel balls, so he directly used a shovel to lift the glazed tiles, revealing the bottom sealing mound and the neatly arranged tomb bricks.
Bang!
Qin Wufu slammed the shovel downward, inserted it into the sealed mound for more than an inch, and then pried back the area, dug out the sealed soil from below, and shoveled it into the box handed down by Wang Hao.
After the mound was cleaned up, Qin Wufu reached out and touched the row of tomb bricks, the edges and corners were neat and thin, so he used the tip of the shovel to cut in, only to hear a loud sound, the tomb bricks became loose, and then he slammed down, and a complete tomb brick was knocked into two.
Qin Wufu picked up the broken tomb bricks one by one and threw them into the box, and the third barrier of the underground palace was also destroyed, and finally, when he took out the seventy-second tomb brick, a cold wind poured up from the ground.
"You stay on it, and Lao Qin and I will go down to investigate." Wang Hao said to A-Ning.
A-Ning bit his lip, and a pair of eyes with the tail of the fox stared at him, moist and shiny.
"You want to go down too?" Wang Hao asked.
A-Ning nodded: "I'm here alone, I'm afraid." ”
Wang Hao thought for a while, and shouted towards the cave: "Old Qin, can you let A-Ning come down with you?" ”
There was no response in the cave for a long time, and after a long time, Qin Wufu's muffled voice came: "Okay, let her follow us closely and be more careful yourself." ”
Wang Hao hummed, and asked Ah Ning to follow him down to the hole, and when he went down to the bottom, a large piece of the tomb brick was hollowed out, and Qin Wufu had already taken the lead in entering.
Wang Hao was carrying Qin Wufu's blue travel bag, the backpack was bulging, and Qin Wuwu contained some medicines, diet, tools, batteries and other things in it.
With a plop, Qin Wufu jumped down from the entrance of the cave and knelt on one knee.
Below the tomb bricks is a narrow road, the floor tiles of the green clay slab are paved, the corridor is pitch black, cramped and dark, and the five fingers can not be seen when you reach out and stick it to your eyes.
Qin Wufu felt that the temperature under this was a little low, rubbed his arms, took out a pocket flashlight from his trouser pocket and put it on his mouth, and the flashlight light swept around the place, seeing the surrounding scenery clearly.
The road is straight, extending from a distance and running through the other side, there is the sound of rushing water in the ears, two ditches of equal length are dug on both sides of the road, and the water flow of the underground river is led out of two diverts into the ditch. On both sides of the ditch, that is, on the walls of both sides of the tomb, a huge stone dragon head appeared every few meters, and the dragon head was facing the road, and there were water jets gushing out of the dragon's mouth, smashing into the ditch and splashing continuously.
At the same time, looking into the distance, the long road gradually rises, the ditch is also raised in the first step, dozens of hundreds of dragon heads play with water beads, and the gushing waves will turn the originally gently flowing underground dark river into waves, and at a glance, it is like the road to heaven that everyone is pilgrimage to.
"There is a road in front, there is a dragon on the side, there is water on the left and right, there is a lean on the front and back, you can find a living water in the dark underground to fill your own leyline, and artificially create a unique terrain to hold the dragon, it seems that the owner of this underground palace is not simple." Qin Wufu muttered to himself.
When Wang Hao and A Ning came down, they saw Qin Wuwu holding a flashlight and slapping around with a shovel, and the sound of ping-pong echoed in the empty corridor, like striking iron.
"Old Qin, what are you doing?" Wang Hao asked.
"Look for traps." Qin didn't need to raise his head.
Wang Hao walked around the neighborhood with his hands in his hands, carrying Qin Wu's navy blue travel bag, like a sightseeing tourist.
The wolf-eye flashlight in his hand illuminated the distance of more than ten meters in a radius, and Qin Wufu put away the extremely small flashlight.
After a while, Wang Hao saw that Qin Wufu was tinkering with something, walked over to look, and found that he was fiddling with a black oval box, and the surface of the box was wet.
"Hey, Lao Qin, what's the use of the things in your hands, dirty?"
"This is called the turtle shell, the turtles that have lived for more than a hundred years are spiritual, after their dead turtle shells are polished and dried, they can divinate yin and yang with the eight strands of fluorene in the Maoshan technique, the wetter the turtle shell, the heavier the yin qi, and the deeper the evil qi." Qin said uselessly.
After saying that, he continued to walk towards the road upstream of the canal with the turtle shell in his hand.
Wang Hao tightened the shoulder straps of his backpack and beckoned A-Ning to follow, and the three of them walked side by side, the sound of water rushing in their ears.
The wolf-eyed flashlight emitted a miserable white light in the pitch-black corridor, and the tomb wall illuminated by the pillar of light beside him also reflected a strange variety of postures, and in the mottled light and shadow, the bricks and stones solidified on the tomb wall seemed to come to life, as if to blame these intruders who disturbed the night's sleep.
The road was long and dim, even if the strong light of the wolf's eye flashlight was dazzling, but when it was illuminated in the distance, only a hazy point of light remained at the end, and the dragon's head was still swallowing water, but Qin Wufu felt that the road under his feet had become a little strange.
The original smooth road seems to have come to an end, the feet are very strange and steep, the shoes can feel the uneven ups and downs on the ground, Wang Hao's wolf eye flashlight shines on the ground, and finds that the ground has become potholes, and all kinds of pebbles are embedded in the road, some places are slightly flattened, and some places are crooked to the heel can not stand steadily, and there is a feeling of big ups and downs along the way.
Qin Wufu felt a little uneasy in his heart, his pace gradually slowed down, and he wanted to pass the wolf-eye flashlight in Wang Hao's hand to carefully look at this road, and at the corners of the inlaid pebbles, there were several crooked scraping lines that were directly divided into several sections, horizontal and vertical, left and right, and connected with several other scraping lines, looking like a totem.
Seeing this, Qin Wufu suddenly raised his right hand into a fist and shouted at the two people in front of him: "Don't go forward, there is a problem with this road!" ”
