Chapter 154: The Dark Well
Liu Shangang said to me: "All the communication equipment in the company is specially designed by the old Baotuo people, including the walkie-talkie and the code transmitter you have seen before, and almost no sound will be made when receiving information or connecting it." ”
As he spoke, he connected to the walkie-talkie, and on the other side of the walkie-talkie, Senior Brother Bao's voice immediately came: "Ang, is there a way by your side?" ”
Liu Shangang didn't speak, and directly handed me the walkie-talkie.
I took the walkie-talkie: "I'm here, Senior Brother Bao." ”
Senior Brother Bao let out an "oh" and said, "A few of you hurry up to the northwest corner of the village, by the way, did Master Chai leave something like something for you when he left?" ”
What does Senior Brother Bao want a magic weapon for? I wondered in my heart and responded to him, "No." What's wrong? ”
I heard Senior Brother Bao say: "We found a dark well in the northwest corner, there is corpse gas in it, and now Uncle Chai is not here, you three should come over for a while." I heard that you had a bronze armored corpse when you entered the industry, is this true? ”
I said, "Yes, I was living with Skinny Monkey and Houzai at that time......
Before I could finish my words, Senior Brother Bao said, "That should be no problem, come over quickly." With that, he terminated the communication.
I didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly rushed towards the northwest of Huangjiazhuang with Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai.
When I came to the northwest corner of the village, I saw Senior Brother Bao and Zhang Dafa holding a sapper shovel and guarding next to a well.
It was indeed a dark well, and I saw that the mouth of the well was full of mud shoveled by sappers, and there was a very thick old locust tree beside the well.
When Senior Brother Bao saw us, he immediately beckoned to us and motioned for us to come over.
When I came to him, I could feel the yin qi constantly emanating from the well, which was also mixed with a faint corpse qi, although the corpse qi was weak, it was very uncomfortable, and what was even more strange was that although the wellhead exuded corpse qi, there was no rancid smell that is often found on evil corpses.
Senior Brother Bao said to me, "This morning, Lao Zhang interrogated Zhu Hongguang. According to Zhu Hongguang's confession, when Huang Changgui asked him to transport those Gu worms into the village, he mentioned an old locust tree in the northwest of the village, and Huang Changgui also said that there was a passage under this tree, and he planned to escape from this passage, and asked Zhu Hongguang to try to pick him up. Because of this, I ran here with Lao Zhang and dug this well. I just took the instrument and measured it. ”
As he spoke, he took out a gauge from his pocket and showed it to me, I didn't know what it was for, but I could see that the hands on the dial were shaking violently.
Senior Brother Bao said to me: "This thing is specially used to measure corpse qi, if you look at the watch hand on the top shaking like this, the corpse qi below must be very heavy." ”
I nodded at Senior Brother Bao, leaned over to the well, and looked inside.
This well is very deep, as far as the eye can see, there is pure darkness, Brother Bao took a flashlight and shone it into the well, he used the kind of searchlight flashlight that penetrated very strongly, but it still could not reach the bottom of the well.
But as the light of the flashlight passed over the wall of the well, I suddenly saw a very harsh metallic sheen, which disappeared from my eyes after only a moment.
I frowned, took the flashlight from Brother Bao's hand, and shone it towards the shiny area just now, and saw that there seemed to be a nail nailed to the wall of the well, but it was so far away from me that I couldn't tell exactly what it was.
I touched the wall of the well again with my hand, and it was very damp and at the same time very smooth.
I turned around and said to Senior Brother Bao, "It's too deep to see the situation below." Moreover, the wall of the well is too smooth, it is certainly impossible to go down with bare hands, and a rope is required. In addition, it is best to find a heavier stone, the volume of the stone can completely press the entire wellhead. ”
Senior Brother Bao nodded, and didn't ask too much, so he asked Zhang Dafa to make arrangements.
The reason why I want such a stone is mainly because I am worried that there will be flying stiffness in the well, with my current Taoism, plus the black water corpse coffin behind me, even if I can't control the flying stiff, the flying stiff should not be able to help me, but in case the flying stiff flies up from the well, no matter how well-trained Senior Brother Bao is, it is difficult to deal with this kind of inhuman thing without weapons.
After I went down the well, Senior Brother Bao had to use the stone to press the wellhead to prevent the stiffness from coming out of the well.
Zhang Dafa was very efficient, and twenty minutes later, he came back with six other people, carrying a boulder weighing at least 1,000 catties, two of whom still had long ropes on their shoulders.
They put the stone aside, and tied the rope together, I visually measured the length of the rope, about a hundred meters, and nodded to Senior Brother Bao: "This length is enough." ”
Brother Bao then asked them to trap one end of the rope on the locust tree and the other end on my waist.
I said to Senior Brother Bao again, "When I go down the well, you will seal the mouth of the well with stones, and if there is no signal from me, do not remove the stones." ”
Senior Brother Bao nodded first, and then asked me again: "The wellhead is suppressed, how do you give a signal?" ”
When I thought about it, the well was so deep that the mouth of the well was pressed down, and I just shouted from the inside, and I was afraid that no one outside would hear it.
Senior Brother Bao thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you take my walkie-talkie down, this thing is specially made, the power is very large, and it can also send a signal at a distance of fifty meters underground, after we let you go down, you try to see if you can contact us, if it works, I will press the stone on, if not, I will pull you up first, and then we will think of another way." ”
Liang Houzai on the side said with some concern: "But once the stone is pressed, will the signal not be sent?" ”
I heard Senior Brother Bao say: "Fifty meters of soil can't block the signal of the walkie-talkie, such a stone shouldn't have much impact." ”
I nodded, and asked Senior Brother Bao to let me go down the well.
Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai originally wanted to go down with me, but I considered that in case the stones couldn't suppress the things in the well, Liang Houzai would stay with Senior Brother Bao and them to help, as for Liu Shangang, I really didn't want him to follow me down the well, I was afraid that the things in the well would be too difficult to deal with at that time, and I wouldn't be able to protect him.
I also knew that the two of them were afraid that I would be in danger, so I said to them, "I have a black water corpse on my back, and the evil corpse cannot get near me." You two just wait on it, just such a rope can't bear the weight of the three of us. ”
After saying that, I took the flashlight from Senior Brother Bao's hand and jumped into the well, Liu Shangang stretched out his hand to pull me, as if he didn't want me to go down, but I moved fast, and his fingers only touched my back.
After that, Senior Brother Bao and the others began to slowly put the rope.
When I looked down from the well, I thought the well was a few hundred meters deep because the light in the well was so dim, but in fact it was far less deep than I thought.
Brother Bao, they lowered the rope very slowly, but after a few minutes, my feet had already touched the bottom of the well.
I shone my flashlight around and it seemed to be a very large space, and no matter where the flashlight shone it, I could only see darkness.
The corpse qi should have come from the deepest part of this space, I had reached the bottom of the well, but the surrounding corpse qi had not become thicker, and the same as outside the well, what I could perceive was mainly yin qi, and the corpse qi was only mixed in it, almost dispensable.
I grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and put it in my hand, and when I shone it with a flashlight, I realized that it was pure black, it was a very pure black, almost non-reflective, and when the dirt spread out in the palm of my hand, it was like a small black hole in my palm.
Throwing the dirt aside, I shone the beam of my flashlight at the wall of the well, trying to find the thing that glowed with a metallic sheen.
It wasn't hard to find, I just scanned the wall of the well twice with a flashlight and saw a steel nail-like thing within my reach.
I walked over and took a closer look, only to find that the shape of the steel nail was very similar to the bullet that Senior Brother Bao had shown me before, it was also half an index finger long, and it was also covered with small holes for bearing the wind, but the steel nail in front of me seemed to be thicker. I reached out and tried to pull it out of the wall of the well, but it was nailed so tightly that I couldn't.
After that, I turned on the walkie-talkie again, and after a busy tone, Senior Brother Bao's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Youdao, are you at the bottom of the well now?" We don't feel your weight. ”
I responded, "It's at the bottom of the well, it's not too deep, but the soil inside is not reflective." In addition, there is a steel nail on the wall of the well, which is very similar to the bullets you took out from Daochang Li last night. ”
It is precisely because this kind of soil is not reflective that when Senior Brother Bao took a searchlight flashlight to shine in, he had the illusion that the light could not reach the bottom of the well.
Senior Brother Bao asked me, "Can you take off that steel nail?" If you can, it's best to bring it up and let's look into it. ”
I said, "No, it's nailed too tightly." ”
Master Bao paused for a moment and asked me again, "Do you want to press the stone now?" ”
The corpses in the well are not very thick, and it can be expected that even if there are evil corpses here, there should be a long distance between it and the mouth of the well. However, in order to protect Senior Brother Bao's personal safety, I still replied affirmatively: "Press it." ”
A moment later, I heard a roar overhead, followed by scattered pieces of dirt falling from above.
When I looked up, I couldn't see the small piece of sky above the wellhead.
At this time, Senior Brother Bao's voice came from the walkie-talkie again: "Youdao, can you still hear me now?" ”
"I can hear it, I know it very clearly." I replied on the intercom.
I heard Senior Brother Bao say to me: "We are waiting for you above, you be careful, don't turn off the walkie-talkie, contact me at any time." ”
I let out an "um" and slipped the walkie-talkie into my breast pocket, then untied the rope from my waist and groped my way towards the pitch-black area ahead.
