Chapter 736: Meat Kui
Speaking of this, Liang Houzai actually threw an inquiring look at me, and I couldn't answer this question, so I could only ask him: "Why?" ”
Liang Houzai pondered for a while before speaking: "Perhaps, the things that made your first ancestor mess up didn't come from this tomb. It's an outside thing...... Ran to this tomb. ”
I nodded, looked at the writing on the wall again, and said to Liang Houzai, "Let's go further, maybe we can find other clues." ”
Liang Houzai also nodded at me.
Next, we slowed down our pace, walking cautiously as we watched for clues on the stone wall.
After about five or six minutes, Liang Houzai found a blurred line of text on another piece of the scroll.
He leaned over to the stone wall and made a careful look at it for a moment, then frowned tightly.
I asked him what was wrong, and he frowned and pondered for a while before he said to me, "What does this mean...... The air duct is meatless. I don't know how to translate this text in the vernacular, but if it is translated into classical Chinese, it is 'the wind does not have meat', or 'the meat does not go out of the wind'. ”
I asked Liang Houzai, "What do you mean?" ”
Liang Houzai shook his head: "What your ancestor may mean is that poisonous meat will not appear in windy places. It doesn't seem quite right, alas, and I don't know how to explain it. ”
Speaking of "wind", I remembered what Senior Brother Feng said before that there will be a big wind tunnel in the tomb, and the wind tunnel here and the wind tunnel in Senior Brother Feng's mouth will mean the same thing?
I turned around and asked Senior Brother Feng, "Senior brother, have we come all the way and seen the 'wind tunnel' you mentioned?" ”
Senior Brother Feng touched his chin and pondered for a moment before responding to me: "Probably not." ”
I looked at Liang Houzai, and Liang Houzai also understood what I meant: "The wind duct is the meaning of the wind tunnel?" ”
I nodded, "Possibly." ”
Liang Houzai pondered for a while, with a noncommittal expression.
And I didn't ramble anymore, and continued to go deeper with the flashlight, Liang Houzai still looked at the stone wall from time to time, but he didn't find any new clues along the way.
At the end of the tomb there are strange reliefs on the stone wall, which is made of square stone bricks half a meter wide, with only a small door less than a meter high added to the corner.
The door also had signs of being opened, and there was a narrow gap between the rusty door panels, as if the first ancestor had walked in a hurry when he came out of it, and did not close the door completely.
I walked over to the door and tried to pull the door panel, the rust at the bottom of the door had stuck to the ground due to the perennial rust, and I applied three times before I heard a crisp click, and the door panel was completely pulled open by me in a violent shaking.
After that, I pulled the other door open with a few more slams.
Liu Shangang was the first to come up, slapped the light into the doorway, and then said to me, "There seems to be movement inside." ”
I frowned: "What's the movement?" ”
Liu Shangang listened sideways for a while, and then shook his head at me: "I'm not sure, the voice is too quiet, it comes and goes, but I feel that it seems to be ...... A thick pad of flesh was smashing against the wall one by one. ”
"I'll go ahead, you and Liu Daxi will take care of Mao Xiaoxi together."
As I spoke, I leaned over and slipped into the doorway.
In order to take care of Mao Xiaoxi, Liu Shangang retreated to the back of the team, followed by Liang Houzai, followed by Dawei and Senior Brother Feng.
The space inside was very narrow, and the air was warm, giving it a very stuffy and dry feeling, but fortunately, the passage to the doorway was very short, and after a few minutes, I crawled out of the other end of the passage.
Right now, there is a spacious cemetery, the humidity here is very heavy, the temperature is about 40 degrees, not long after I entered, I felt like the pores all over my body were blocked, obviously I was sweating all over my body, but I felt that the sweat could not come out at all.
Liang Houzai slapped the light around, and also complained: "It's so stuffy, it's like an oven." ”
I said, "Wearing clothes and going to the sauna, that's probably what it feels like." I have to find my way out quickly, Mao Xiaoxi's body is too weak to stay in this kind of place for too long. ”
As I spoke, I felt pain in my left arm again, and the pain came so quickly and violently that it hurt into my bone marrow, and I couldn't help but gasp.
At that time, Liang Houzai also protected his arm, squeezed his eyes hard, and there was a bitter cry from Senior Brother Feng in the passage.
The pain came and went quickly, and it disappeared in just a second or two.
Liang Houzai rubbed his left arm and said to me, "I don't know how far we are from the place where the flowers bloom on the other side." ”
I shook my head: "Who knows, did the First Ancestor say how to break the blood curse on our body?" ”
Liang Houzai shook his head: "She only said that the blood curse was the key to seeing the flower on the other side, but she didn't say how to break it." ”
At the gap between the two of us, the others also came out one by one, and Senior Brother Feng frowned a few times when he came in, muttering, "It shouldn't be." ”
I asked Senior Brother Feng, "What shouldn't you?" ”
Senior Brother Feng said: "I have seen feng shui before, and I said that the desert should be a wind tunnel, but why is this place so stuffy, and I can't hear the wind." ”
Liu Shangang handed Mao Xiaoxi to Liu Daxi, and said while walking towards me: "The strange voice I heard shouldn't be the wind, right?" ”
Senior Brother Feng asked him, "What kind of voice are you talking about?" ”
Liu Shangang thought for a moment before responding: "It's just, bang, bang, bang, it's a bit like the movement of the heart beating, I always feel as if something is hitting the wall." ”
Senior Brother Feng glanced at me and shook his head.
That's not the wind.
I shot a light deeper into the graveyard, and the beam of light hit the damp wall, reflecting a greasy glow of water.
"Let's take a walk, maybe there will be a fork in the road." As I spoke, I glanced at Liu Daxi, who had already carried Mao Xiaoxi on his back and tied Mao Xiaoxi with a steel cable to himself.
After that, I didn't hesitate any longer, and continued to move forward while probing the light with a flashlight, Liu Shangang returned behind me, and Dawei and the others pulled away from us by five or six meters.
Everyone was divided into two teams, although this was the conclusion calculated by Senior Brother Zhuang, but I always felt that such a detachment was not very reliable, in case something happened in the back, we were five or six meters apart, and we couldn't support Dawei and them in the first place.
However, Dawei and they seem to agree with Senior Brother Zhuang's proposal very much, and as long as they have the opportunity, they will distance themselves from us a little, and I don't say much about this, so I can only pay attention to Dawei's situation on their side often to ensure that there are no problems.
As we go deeper, the moisture in the air becomes heavier and heavier, and the temperature rises at a very slow rate.
I felt more and more out of breath, but there was a very strange smell wafting in front of me.
The smell was stuffy, it smelled like soy sauce mixed with coptis water, and it was like a heavy mush.
At the same time, I also heard the strange voice in Liu Shangang's mouth.
He was right, the movement was like a heartbeat, fast and slow, but it gave people a very thick, heavy feeling, and I also felt as if there was a thick pad of flesh in front of me that was pounding on the stone walls on both sides of the tomb.
Whether it's the visual experience of the dark environment, the touch of the dampness, or the weird sounds and smells, nothing seems to be normal here, except for the Qi field.
In this graveyard, I could not sense any evil spirit. And this is the most abnormal place, in such a place, how can there be no evil spirit?
Liu Shangang seemed to have a premonition of something, he became nervous, silently took out a sniper rifle, replaced the regular bullet with an armor-piercing bullet, and took two grenades from his backpack and hung them on his chest.
His actions made my heart flutter too, but I also deliberately made a very calm appearance and continued to walk forward with everyone.
I don't know how many years I haven't had this kind of stubborn feeling, it seems that this tomb in front of me has aroused my most instinctive fear of claustrophobia, and after so many years in the industry, I thought that such fear had completely disappeared from my personality.
"Slow down!"
At this moment, Liu Shangang suddenly approached me and grabbed my arm.
I looked at him, but he didn't look at me, just picked up the flashlight and flashed the light straight ahead: "The reflection is not right." ”
I followed his beam and saw an unstable luster more than ten meters away from me, like a wave, slowly changing shape.
"Alert." I said this to Liu Shangang, and then pulled out the green steel sword and slowly touched it towards the reflection.
I walked cautiously forward, while Liu Shangang picked up his sniper rifle and lit me up.
As I got closer, I finally saw what it was, and in an environment with no natural light, I couldn't see what color it was, just by the light of the flashlight, I just felt like it was a huge lump of flesh, and when I saw it, it was expanding and shrinking at a fixed frequency, like a beating heart.
Liu Shangang moved the light of the flashlight upward, and saw that on this large piece of "meat", there were also a large number of translucent tentacles, and those tentacles were very long, about the thickness of my little finger, and there were countless of them.
From a distance, it looked like a giant anemone, and the tentacles on the lump were slowly shaking, and as the lump swelled, they touched the zenith with a dull crashing sound.
Liu Shangang approached me and said to me in a very small voice, "What is this?" ”
I shook my head and said to him, "Look at the back, there seems to be a road." ”
At this time, Liang Houzai said in the back: "This should be poisonous meat." ”
Is this thing the "poisonous meat" that Yi Shizu said, but although its appearance is a little terrifying, there is no evil spirit on it, not to mention, something like this, but it should be able to deal with it with the grenades and guns brought by Liu Shangang, and it doesn't seem to be a big threat to us.
Liu Shangang hit the flashlight on the right side of the poisonous flesh, and on the wall on that side, there was indeed a very narrow fork in the road, and there were some narrow vegetation hanging on the wall around the intersection, which looked like dried aquatic plants.
"In the past? There seems to be wind over there. Liu Shangang said as he turned his head to look at Senior Brother Feng.
I also looked towards Senior Brother Feng, and I saw Senior Brother Feng nodding at me. I looked at the "poisonous meat" not far away, and it still did the same as before, and it didn't seem to notice our presence.
"Let's go." I said this very briefly to the rear, and walked towards the fork in the road.
Because the poisonous flesh was so large that it almost blocked the entire tomb passage, we could only turn sideways, tiptoe, and tuck our stomachs when we walked past it, trying not to touch it.
Due to its thick body, I accidentally rubbed it while moving, but it still didn't respond.
This time I was much more relieved, and the amplitude of the movement was a little larger, just when I was about to turn the road of the drilling rig, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound behind me, and then I heard a bang, and the stone wall on my side shook violently twice.
The sudden abnormal noise made me stunned for a moment, and when I turned to look behind me, I saw a large number of tentacles behind Liang Houzai, and those tentacles were pressed against the wall, crushing large pieces of the stone bricks on the wall, Liang Houzai fell to the ground sideways, and Liu Shangang took his hand and tried to get him to stand up.
