Chapter 174: The Dark Shadow Underground
Huang Changsheng took a flashlight and shone it back and forth in the corridor, and I found that this corridor, like the one leading to the blood pool, was also artificially built, and the top was also supported by a four-lined brick arch, and there was also a canal in the center of the corridor, in which there was a surge of liquid.
After Liu Shangang came out of the thief cave, he asked Liang Houzai endlessly: "Why are you still afraid of heights?" ”
Liang Houzai smiled a little awkwardly and didn't say anything else.
After that, Huang Yulian took out a few headlamps from her backpack and distributed them to everyone.
Actually, I don't know if it's called a headlamp or not, it's an elastic hood with a square white light inlaid on the forehead.
Huang Changsheng put the hood on the door of his head, first turned on the light, and then pondered on the feng shui compass for a while before pointing to one end of the corridor and saying to the person behind him, "This way." ”
After saying that, Huang Changsheng walked into the depths of the corridor, and we followed him, turning on the lights on our heads one by one.
We walked along the right side of the hallway, and seven lights reflected on the brick wall in the same direction, illuminating the walls of the hallway in a huge white light. But on the other side of the wall, where the light could not reach, there was a large area of pitch black.
In this long tunnel mixed with black and white, apart from the sound of our footsteps, we can only hear the sound of flowing water.
The place is perennially connected to waterways, so that the air is very humid, and in addition to the diffuse moisture, you can smell the smell of rotten tree roots.
As we went deeper and deeper, the temperature gradually became a little muggy, and I saw that Liu Shangang unbuttoned it casually and opened his arms directly.
I quickly patted him and whispered to him, "Get dressed!" ”
Liu Shangang glanced at me, didn't speak, and fastened the button again.
Although there is no evil qi in the tunnel at present, it does not exist now, which does not mean that there will not be in the future. I'm afraid that if the corpse qi suddenly appears, Liu Shangang will open his arms, and the skin on his heart will directly contact the corpse qi, if the corpse qi is too violent, it will directly enter the heart through the skin, and Liu Shangang will be poisoned by the corpse on the spot.
Corpse poison is not very harmful to people like me and Liang Houzai who have been practicing since childhood, but for Liu Shangang, it is different.
The master also noticed Liu Shangang's actions, and he took out a piece of Shouyang candy from his pocket and stuffed it to Liu Shangang: "Hurry up and eat it!" ”
Liu Shangang opened the sugar coating, stuffed the sugar cube into his mouth, and then laughed stupidly: "Sweet!" ”
My master gave him a blank look: "Don't speak!" After that, they took two quick steps to keep up with Mrs. Huang's pace.
Liu Shangang was lectured by my master twice, as if he was very unconvinced, he chewed sugar in his mouth, and rolled his eyes at my master's back, fortunately, this big white eye was not seen by my master, otherwise I don't know how to clean up Liu Shangang.
Since entering the mountain, it has always been Huang Changsheng who has taken the lead, and after Huang Changrong broke off, this time is no exception, and like last time, Huang Changrong also held the long whip in his hand, vigilantly paying attention to the environment around us.
We walked all the way down the corridor, and after about an hour, a stone wall appeared in front of us, and after walking along the path pointed out by Huang Changsheng for so long, we finally came to a dead end.
Huang Changsheng pressed his face against the damp wall, as if to listen for movement on the other side of the stone wall.
A moment later, he patted the wall again, and I heard a thump,
Huang Changsheng turned his head to my master and said, "There is a lot of space on the other side, so I shouldn't have taken the wrong path." ”
Master nodded and responded, "We don't have much time, tear down the wall!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Yulian immediately took out three black round cakes from her backpack, and Old Lady Huang motioned for us to retreat.
After a dozen or so steps back, I saw Huang Yulian fiddle with the round cakes a few times and stick them against the wall, after which she grabbed her backpack and quickly retreated to us.
The hallway was quiet, and I could hear a faint "tick" sound coming from the cakes, which began to shake rapidly as the sound became more and more rapid.
After about ten seconds, a puff of dust suddenly rose on the surface of the stone wall, and then the entire stone wall suddenly shattered, and a large amount of stone powder collapsed from the wall, revealing a large hole two meters wide.
Liu Shangang asked Huang Yulian a lot: "What is that, at first I thought it was a sticky explosive." ”
Just listen to Huang Yulian said: "Micro resonator, disposable product." ”
I saw that Liu Shangang seemed to be talking again, so I turned him with my elbow: "Don't talk when you go to the tomb!" ”
Liu Shangang nodded sullenly and closed his mouth.
Huang Yulian then walked to the hole in the stone wall and placed a device shaped like a walkie-talkie next to the hole, and after a while she put the device back in her backpack and said to us, "The air is poisonous." ”
In fact, just as the hole appeared in the wall, I could feel a faint corpse qi emanating from the hole. There is no need for Huang Yulian to say that I am until, the poison in the air is a slight corpse poison.
My master also told Huang Yulian that it was a slight corpse poison and that it was not a big problem, and then the master took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and asked me to share them among everyone.
Old lady Huang seemed to know what this milk candy was made of, and he frowned slightly when he took the candy, but after hesitating for a moment, he still put the candy in his mouth.
As mentioned before, the main purpose of this milk candy specially prepared by us is to dispel yin and replenish yang, and in terms of the effect of this sugar itself, the effect of removing corpse qi is actually very limited. However, the Yang Yuan in the human body itself has the ability to dispel corpse qi, and after eating this sugar, Yang Yuan is stable, and it is difficult for corpse qi to invade the body.
After eating sugar, Huang Changsheng took the lead, and after Huang Changrong's palace, everyone lined up and drilled into the hole in the stone wall.
After passing through the stone wall, there is a large cave, and there is some light coming in from the top of the cave, but the hole seems to be closed, and it is not known where the light is coming in.
There is a very large pool in the middle of the cave, which is the source of the water in the corridor.
Huang Changsheng didn't stay in this place for long, and after crossing the pool, he walked straight to the cave wall covered with vine branches, and Huang Yulian cut off the vine branches, and a hidden stone door appeared in front of us.
The door was more than a meter high and half a meter wide, and it looked like a dog hole with two door panels closed.
Huang Changsheng tried to pull the doorknob, but couldn't pull it, he beckoned to Huang Yulian, who immediately understood and took out two black round cakes from her backpack.
But just as Huang Yulian was about to stick the two round cakes on the stone door, my master suddenly grabbed her, turned her head at the same time, and made a silent gesture over everyone.
At that time, I also felt that deep in the ground under our feet, an unusually large aura swam through, and it was a strange aura mixed with evil qi and anger.
It's hard to describe, it's as if I was paddling a very small boat to a stop on the seemingly calm sea, and in the deep layer below the boat, a huge black shadow moving in a northeasterly direction suddenly appeared, and at that moment, I almost stopped breathing and my heartbeat.
The aura moved very fast, but due to the huge area covered, it wasn't until ten minutes later that it left the area under our feet and headed northeast.
Master frowned, and the expression on his face was very solemn.
Old lady Huang had a frightened expression, and he was silent for a while before he whispered to my master, "What was that just now?" ”
Master shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen such an aura...... It's hard to say that there's a big guy in the evil tomb, so be careful. ”
After saying that, Master walked straight to the narrow stone door and beckoned to me again: "Youdao, come and help!" ”
I immediately walked up, and the master held the doorknob of the stone door left and right, and pulled violently, the two bronze doorknobs were directly inlaid on the stone door, after many years of corrosion, the doorknob was already very fragile, just listen to the snap, snap twice, the handle could not bear the strength of me and the master, and was torn off by the two of us.
However, the stone gate was also opened by us with a gap two fingers wide.
The pungent smell of blood wafted from the crack in the door.
Master and I grabbed another door panel, and there was another tugging, I don't know how hard Master used, anyway, I was sucking at the time, and I finally let the stone door completely open.
After the stone door was opened, the bloody cold wind continued to pour into the cave where we were from the other side of the door, and I saw that the people of the old Huang family were constantly shrugging their noses, and everyone had an uncomfortable expression on their faces.
Huang Changsheng endured the extremely pungent smell of blood, and was the first to enter the door, and after we followed him in, it was still Huang Changrong behind the palace.
There was a very short, narrow tunnel in the door, and after passing through this tunnel, we were dumbfounded by the sight that appeared before our eyes.
At the exit of the tunnel was a stone platform that barely held the seven of us standing, and looking down at the stone platform, there was a pitch-black abyss.
Nine bronze chains as thick as an adult's waist stretched from the opposite side, connected to the stone platform, and the place was so big that the lamp above our heads could not shine on the other side, and we didn't know where the chains came from, as if they had grown out of the darkness.
Huang Changsheng stared at his feng shui compass for a while, and after a while, he turned his head and said to my master helplessly, "The magnetic field in this place is very strong, and the compass is out of order." ”
Master nodded, then walked to the edge of the stone platform, stretched out his fingers, and tried to touch each of the chains, frowning and pondering for a moment every time Master placed his finger on those chains.
I knew that Master had used the technique of "carrying corpses" when he touched the chains, and I could feel a slight chill coming from his back.
