Chapter 57: The Dry Well

The back row is the old meditation room built in the early days of the temple, which is more retro and very simple, and some of the doors have been broken and damaged. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The room where there was an unusual noise had an iron door that was locked from the outside.

Under everyone's vigilance, Xu Shenzhou opened the lock, slowly opened the iron door, and after pushing open the wooden door inside, he saw an old monk zombie pounce on.

This monk zombie has been hit with a blunt object, his chest is sunken into a large piece, one arm is missing, he is still a lame, and naturally he has little combat power.

Xu Shenzhou picked up an iron rod casually, stabbed it into the eye of the monk zombie and stabbed it into the skull, and then sent him to Bliss.

The room was a surveillance room with a few old computers, a mess of miscellaneous items, snack bags and wine bottles, and there were people who stayed there before the disaster.

After the anomaly was eliminated, everyone came to the dry well.

The dry well was very deep, and it was so dark that it could only be seen to a depth of about three meters, Xu Shenzhou picked up a stone and threw it in, and he could hear the sound of gurgling water inside.

Zheng Xinwei said: "Isn't it a dry well, why is there still water in it?" ”

He Mingliang said: "This is normal, there will be water overflowing at the bottom of the well in summer and autumn, but it is not deep, and it will dry up in winter and spring, and we don't need to go down to the bottom of the well, there is a secret door in the middle, and you can find it by going down the ladder!" ”

Xu Shenzhou looked around in the dry well, and found some footprints, some of the eaves were also equipped with monitoring equipment, and when he opened the door of the meditation room, he could smell a smell of sandalwood.

There are not many furnishings in the main hall, a few simple furniture, a Buddha statue in front of the table in the middle, a futon below, a small bedroom through a side door, clothes and bedding, household appliances and all basic daily necessities.

Xu Shenzhou found two flashlights and handed them to He Mingming, and said, "Let's go down to scout first, I guess there should be someone in the secret room that Mingliang said!" ”

He Mingming's expression moved, and he said: "In addition to our He family, as far as a few of my friends who used to play together know, maybe they may be hiding inside, I'll go first and take a look!" ”

After speaking, He Mingming's expression became a little excited, and he took the lead to go down the ladder, Xu Shenzhou told the others to be on guard nearby, and also followed He Mingliang.

The structure of the dry well is a bit peculiar, it is a pot-bellied gourd well, there are several stone pillars at the bottom to support the bottom load-bearing, and when there is water at the bottom, it looks like a pool, which can store a lot of water.

Xu Shenzhou followed He Mingliang down to a depth of seven or eight meters to the thin waist of the gourd, and when he turned his back, he could see a half-open stone door, according to the cement cracking and exposed cables near the stone gate, the opening and closing of this door should be controlled by electricity, and now the stone door is ajar, obviously opened by manpower.

Drill through that gap, inside is a circular corridor, you can see an arch halfway through the flashlight, the opening and closing of some arches are also controlled by electricity, and some waterproof and drainage measures have been made, all of which have been violently broken.

The corridor is very long, and after passing through a few arches and going deeper, it looks old and dilapidated, and there are no doors except for stone pillars.

After walking more than 50 meters of tunnels, there are strange rocks arranged, and there are some ancient patterns and decorations, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like the tomb door of an ancient tomb.

He Mingliang didn't mention that it was an ancient tomb, Xu Shenzhou followed back to the gate with doubts, only to feel that the neighborhood was quiet and secluded, and there was no sound or movement at all.

However, Xu Shenzhou's ears are sensitive, and he can hear a very subtle breath, which is obviously a nervous and rapid breathing sound, obviously someone is hiding inside.

He Mingliang shone a flashlight inside, and said loudly: "I am He Mingming, is there anyone inside?" ”

"Ah, it's bright, he's still alive, he's back to save us!"

Suddenly, a woman's excited voice came from inside, followed by a burst of footsteps, and someone ran to the door and cried: "Mingming, is it really you, I'm a cousin, help us out, woo woo......"

He Mingliang was a little excited, but also a little puzzled, why did he save them out, didn't his cousin hide in by herself?

Xu Shenzhou was meticulous, and found that the door was a plug-in groove type bolt with a flashlight, and now the bolt was closed, and the door could not be opened at all, so he pushed the bolt open, tried to push the door, and heard a boom, and the door seemed to have a pulley under the load-bearing corner, and after making a sharp muffled sound, it was easily pushed open.

After the door opened, a delicate figure came out of it, and when he came out of the dark, he suddenly hugged Xu Shenzhou and cried excitedly: "Bright, bright, woo......"

He Mingliang took a flashlight, and saw that the person who mistakenly thought Xu Shenzhou was his cousin He Mingyue, and three women came out of the back door one after another, and he also knew them, and the two were his classmates from elementary school to junior high school, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Tang Xiuqin, Yang Qiuyan, why are you?" ”

He Mingyue saw that she had hugged the wrong person, she blushed and hurriedly let go, and after confirming that it was her cousin next to her, she cried: "Mingming, we were tricked into here by Qian Chuanzi and Qian Bo's brutes!" ”

"Qian Bo?"

He Mingliang was very surprised, that Qian Bo was one of his friends when he was young, and he had a good relationship when he grew up, Qian Bo's brother was called Qian Chuan, but everyone in the town called Qian Chuanzi, how could he do such a thing?

As soon as Xu Shenzhou heard it, he knew that he might encounter the same ugly thing that happened to Yang Village.

After entering the inner room of the suspected ancient tomb, it suddenly became clear, the space inside was about 100 square meters, there were outer halls and inner rooms, the outer hall was higher, and there were many stone frames and open large wooden boxes, all of which were empty, and the stone carvings in some places were only half completed.

The inner chamber was divided into four small chambers, and in the center of the main chamber was a sarcophagus, next to which was a single stone slab, which was only half-carved, and was littered with stone blocks and rudimentary tools such as stone chisels and rusty knives.

Through some other decaying debris, Xu Shenzhou confirmed his guess that this should be a half-built tomb that was not completed, and was later diverted for other purposes, and became a place for important treasures and food to be secretly stored by large families in ancient times.

In modern times, it is supposed to be a treasure room used to store antiques and cash banknotes, as evidenced by some fingernail-sized fragments of Republic of China silver dollars and fragments of banknotes with RMB patterns.

"Qian Bo, Yu Guomin, I the eighteenth generation of your family!"

At this time, He Mingming's angry roar interrupted Xu Shenzhou's search and exploration here.

When he came out of the inner room to the outer hall, he saw He Mingming's face swollen red, his forehead bruised, and his fists clenched, like an angry and furious lion.

Upon inquiry, the woman named Yang Qiuyan cried and told the general story.

After Xu Shenzhou heard what happened, he couldn't help but sigh human nature, human nature, it has only been a few days since the disaster came, is it so distorted?
