Chapter 36: The Dead

Everyone crowded on the platform halfway up the mountainside, the heavy rain poured down, and the pillars of light emitted by the headlamps were shrouded in white fog stirred up by the rain, and the visibility was no more than ten meters!

The scream that came from the top of the mountain before really scared everyone, but after careful discernment, I found that it was not Cai Changsheng's voice, could it be that there were other people on the top of the mountain?

Just when we were nervous, we suddenly saw our climbing rope falling from the sky and falling to the bottom of the cliff, and everyone was even more terrified when they saw it...... Not only was there a man on the top of the mountain, but the man had cut our ropes!

At this moment, the black shadow that cut our rope in the Tomb King Ding appeared in my mind, and I don't know why I suddenly thought of this, is it a similar situation, or an inexplicable intuition?

"What to do! Someone cut us off! Huang Shaoze said in a trembling voice, his tone was very slow, as if he was a little desperate!

Lao Wang and Xiao Lizi also panicked, they stood with their backs together, and looked at the top of the mountain from time to time: "Who is it!" Who is trying to harm us! ”

"Don't panic, everyone!" Wen Chengyu immediately said: "Depending on the situation, something must have happened on the top of the mountain, but everyone must believe in Lao Cai, he will definitely find a way to solve it!" Wen Chengyu wiped the rain from his face and said, "Let's quickly pack up our luggage and go to the tomb to make plans!" ”

Wen Chengyu took the lead and jumped into the sarcophagus as he spoke, only to see him squatting with his legs and his head rushing in, and the whole person went in several meters!

The monkey and I glanced at each other, knowing that the only way to do this was to go to the tomb first, and we couldn't stay here in the rain forever, so I thought about it and went in one by one. Then Huang Shaoze, Lao Wang and Xiao Lizi also followed into the tomb.

As soon as we entered the tomb, we smelled a pungent and unpleasant putrid stench, which was so bad that I felt sick and wanted to vomit...... At the same time, I also felt a sense of worry, maybe it was the corpses of the previous group of archaeologists that were decomposing!

Everyone turned their headlamps to the brightest and immediately glanced at the environment in front of them, only to see that we were in a stone room, and on the walls of the stone room, there were eight identical stone doors, the layout of which was consistent with the description in Dad's manual.

"I'm cāo! There are dead bodies in front of them" only to hear the monkey suddenly scream, which frightened everyone to tremble.

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked forward, and saw a highly decomposed corpse lying on the floor in front of the stone chamber.

When Huang Shaoze and Wen Chengyu saw it, they immediately leaned forward, and the monkey and I followed closely behind, I didn't hold my nose to look at it, and suddenly I felt that my scalp was numb, goosebumps, and I saw that the dead body was highly decomposed, and the clothes on the body had been rotten with the flesh and skin, which looked yellow and black, and from time to time emitted a foul smell!

Although Huang Shaoze and Wen Chengyu were born archaeologically, although they are used to seeing all kinds of dried corpse mummies, they are somewhat resistant to such a shocking scene at this moment! I saw them holding their breath and putting their breathing to the slowest level!

I resisted the stench and took a closer look at the corpse's form, only to see the corpse face down, arms stretched forward, legs curled up, revealing a hideous crawling state!

Seeing this, the monkey sniffed a few times on the side: "I'm cāo, this smells ......" Before he finished speaking, he spat a few more mouthfuls, and then asked: "This person...... Is it from your archaeological institute? ”

Huang Shaoze and Wen Chengyu didn't reply, but looking at their heavy expressions, I already knew the answer.

"This is Zhou Yonggui, the data clerk in the previous team!" Huang Shaoze looked at the corpse in front of him and said slowly: "He is...... My brother! There was frustration in his tone.

Wen Chengyu patted Huang Shaoze on the shoulder to comfort him, and Huang Shaoze just sighed, without too much sadness, maybe they have experienced this kind of scene countless times.

Huang Shaoze adjusted his feelings, and then said: "My senior brother, they must have encountered something terrible in the depths of the ancient tomb, looking at his form before death, it seems that he is trying his best to escape!" Huang Shaoze frowned as he spoke: "I just don't know why he died here!" How could a corpse decompose to such an extent? ”

"He's got sulfuric acid!" I saw Lao Wang come forward and say, "You see, the decay of various parts of the corpse is different, and there are signs of blackening and burning!" ”

"It's a trap!" Wen Chengyu was suddenly startled, as if he had thought of something: "Everyone be careful, don't move, there is a mechanism to trigger sulfuric acid!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their nerves immediately tensed!

The monkey looked at the corpse in front of him and suddenly said, "In this way, this week Yonggui triggered the mechanism when he fled out, and he died here!" In this case, the trigger point of this mechanism should be near the corpse! ”

"Quite possibly! And there must be more than one mechanism here, and the location of the trigger mechanism will definitely be different! Wen Chengyu said and looked around again, he seemed to have found something!

Then I suddenly remembered what my father said in his manual, that the eight doors in the stone chamber were arranged according to the direction of the eight trigrams, and in the end they judged that the entrance to the tomb was the door in the southeast corner.

So I immediately took out my compass and sat down to see that the door was in front of us on the left! I was about to explain to everyone, but I saw that Wen Chengyu was also holding a compass-like thing in his hand, but the thing he was holding had a few more disks than my compass, which seemed to be more complicated!

I saw him fiddle with the things in his hand, and his face was surprised or surprised, as if he had discovered something! He took a long breath and said: "From the analysis of the Heaven and Earth Xuanpan in my hand, the eight doors in the stone room are arranged in the direction of the eight trigrams, and each door seems to be a mechanism set up according to a certain method. That is, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sound, light, and life! Among them, only the raw gate is the entrance! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately came over, Wen Chengyu was still twisting the Xuanpan in his hand, he was in the position of Dingshengmen!

In the end, his eyes also fell on the southeast corner, only to hear him say firmly: "That door is the door of life!" ”

Everyone immediately looked in the direction that Wen Chengyu was pointing, and at the same time, all the headlamps also shone on the door...... With a withered hand!
