An incomparably strong smell of blood mixed with raw smell poured in through the crack in the door, and my nose and throat tingled and I wanted to retch.

But a large number of armored corpses were in the hole behind me, and I didn't dare to make too much noise, so I forcibly resisted the desire to vomit and spit out a long, long breath.

I tried to spit out the smell of blood that rushed into my nose, but the smell kept coming at me, and finally I couldn't hold it back, and my mouth let out a retching sound.

I haven't eaten since the afternoon, and finally I only vomited two mouthfuls of sour water, my stomach kept twitching, and my throat was stimulated by sour water, and I felt like I had been burned.

The smell of blood in front of him was much stronger than the smell in the pool of blood.

After that, I could only cover my mouth and nose with all my might, and then pushed the stone door open with my foot, and looked out of the stone door.

I saw the bronze chain that crossed from the top of the stone gate over my head and extended towards the dark distance, and I took a few steps in the direction of the extension of the iron chain, only to find that less than ten meters away from me was a huge abyss, and the smell of blood and life came from the bottom of the abyss.

At this moment, the anger was almost imminent, and I had a faint feeling that at the bottom of the abyss, there seemed to be a behemoth hidden, and while I looked down at the abyss, it was also quietly watching me.

Xian'er got out of my shoulder and whispered to me, "What now?" Do you want to go back to Chai Ye? ”

I glanced at the abyss again, and shook my head: "Let's take a look at what's in front first, the people of the old Huang family are all following, in case there is danger ahead, we people alone may not be able to protect them." Xian'er, you take the lamp and take a look at the front. ”

Hearing me say this, Xian'er's expression became a little disgusted: "Why is it me again?" ”

"You're a ghost, and nothing happens to you in general." I didn't seal my breath when I spoke this time, and the smell of blood poured into my mouth again, causing my stomach to tumble again.

Although Xian'er was a little reluctant, she still took the lantern and said to me: "Anyway, I can't be too far away from you, just a hundred meters, I'll walk a hundred meters forward and come back." ”

I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't speak, but I just nodded at Xian'er.

Xian'er gave me another blank look, and then drifted to the top of the abyss.

The fox fire illuminated the bronze chains, and I saw some notches on the chains, which seemed to be some kind of very old sigil.

According to some accounts of the ancestors, the master also deliberately drew the pattern of that kind of rune in the "Walking Corpse Record", that is, two yin and yang fish with opposite heads and tails in a circle, and in the center of the two fish, there is also a tree root-like thing.

The rune on the copper lock is very similar to the kind of rune drawn by the master, and it is also two yin and yang fish in a circle, but in the rune in front of him, the thing that crosses the yin and yang fish is not like a tree root, but more like a narrow saw.

After the fairy floated forward for a moment, the fox fire was already able to reach the end of the chain, and at first I only vaguely saw that there seemed to be another stone platform at the end of the chain.

But when Xian'er floated forward for some distance, the scene illuminated by the fox fire made me dumbfounded.

It was not a stone platform at all, but the base of a stone tower, and as far as I could see, dozens of chains passed through the abyss from different directions, connected to the stone pedestal, and suspended the tower, which towered into darkness, along with its base, in mid-air.

I don't know where the chains came from, but in the area lit by the fox fire, I could only see a small part of them connected to the stone tower.

I don't know how tall the tower is, and the fox fire can't reach the top of it.

Mrs. Huang said that Su Santong discovered this evil tomb in the Guangxu period, in other words, this tomb was built at least a hundred years ago, and with the productivity and construction technology at that time, it was impossible to build such a stone tower suspended in the air by chains in such a place!

I wanted Xian'er to take a closer look, but by this time she was too far away from me, and my legs began to weaken, and my mind swelled a little.

Xian'er could sense my discomfort, and she slowly floated back and asked me with some concern, "Are you okay?" ”

I waved my hand at Xian'er, then glanced at the darkness where the stone tower was located, and finally decided to go to my master first.

Maybe Master can explain what the hell is going on with that tower, and the thing hidden at the bottom of the abyss, without Master present, I will definitely not be able to deal with it alone.

When I went out of the tomb, Master and they were waiting for me outside.

I told Master in detail about the situation on the other side of the tomb, and when I mentioned the stone pagoda, Master also had a surprised expression, it seemed that even my Master had never seen such a thing.

But just as I was talking, I noticed that the expression on Old Lady Huang's face was a little uncertain.

My master noticed the abnormality of the old lady, and asked the old lady on the spot: "Old lady, when Su Sanye was alive, did he mention the stone pagoda in the evil tomb?" ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, it was indeed mentioned." Master Chai, now that we have arrived here, I won't hide it from you, I went to the tomb this time just to town the things in that tower. The third master once said that there is an evil jade on the top floor of the stone tower, as long as it is destroyed, the big demon in the evil tomb can be suppressed in one fell swoop, and it will not come out to make trouble again for a thousand years. ”

It's jade again! The last time we entered the tomb of the Dragon King, in the very central tomb, wasn't there also a broken jade? And when I heard the old lady say this, I suddenly remembered that the tomb where the black coffin was placed before was very similar to the tomb where Wang Dafu bent down all the year round, especially the two coffins of Chen in the tomb, which were almost identical!

At the same time, the old lady's words also confirmed my master's previous guess, in the evil tomb, there is indeed a big demon.

At this time, my master frowned, and asked Old Lady Huang again: "Third Master Su said that he didn't say it, there is a town in the evil tomb...... What kind of youkai is it? ”

The old lady nodded and said, "Back then, when the third master took people down to the tomb for the first time, he saw a big snake in the abyss under the stone tower, the snake body was a hundred meters long, and it had been crawling still. At that time, the third master entered the tomb, originally came to the upside down, they found the floating tower hanging in the air, and heard the third master say, there seemed to be light flashing in the tower...... It seems that this is the case, but it has been too long for me to remember it clearly. After they entered the tower, someone inadvertently touched the mechanism at the bottom of the tower, and then the big snake suddenly burst out and hurt people, and only the third master escaped alive. ”

The master listened quietly until the old lady finished speaking, and then he asked, "How did Third Master Su know that breaking the evil jade would be able to suppress the big snake?" ”

This time, the old lady shook his head: "I can't tell you this, but that's what the third master said at the beginning." When I was five years old, I was elected by the third master as the next head of the family, and the third master told me a lot of things about the evil tomb, but I was so young at that time, and I couldn't understand a lot of what the third master said, and many things were just a rough memory. ”

The master nodded helplessly and did not speak again.

After this, the master asked Liang Houzai to send a talisman to ward off evil spirits, and asked everyone to stick one on their chests to resist the corpse gas in the tomb.

I also thought of a very critical question when I saw Old Lady Huang sticking a spirit talisman on his chest, when Su Santong went to the tomb, if there were no people like us around, it seemed that there was no way to resist the yin qi and corpse qi in the tomb, if he was put into the body by the yin qi when he went down to the tomb, even if he escaped from the evil tomb, he would be killed within three days.

But after he left the evil tomb, he lived for ten years.

For ordinary people who have no Taoism, this is absolutely impossible.

I was thinking about these things when Master suddenly patted me and asked me what I was thinking, and I said everything I was thinking.

The expression on Master's face also became a little solemn, and he turned his head to ask Old Lady Huang, "When Su Sanye went to the tomb, did he bring a master with him?" ”

Who knew that the old lady Huang shook his head very decisively: "When it comes to fighting backwards, the old Huang family is all masters, but just like the little master just said, when we encounter the yin qi corpse qi, our old Huang family will become ordinary people, although the ancestors have also handed down some means to deal with the evil qi, but when we encounter such a heavy evil qi, we can't deal with it." ”

The master thought for a while, and then asked Old Lady Huang, "Are you sure that Third Master Su lived for another ten years after leaving the evil tomb?" ”

Old lady Huang nodded: "I can't be wrong with this." ”

At this time, Liang Houzai interjected from a long distance: "I think it should be more than a coincidence that Su Sanye ran into the evil tomb when he was fighting backwards. ”

After saying this, Liang Houzai didn't say anything, and my master waved his hand at him and said, "You go on." ”

I know why Liang Houzai stopped, what he said just now was to my master, but I didn't expect that as soon as the words blurted out, everyone's eyes turned to him at the same time. He is still as afraid of life as in the past, and if he is looked at like this by the people of the old Huang family, he will definitely be too shy to speak.

After being silent for a long time, Liang Houzai said with some twist: "I just always feel that Su Sanye built Huangjiazhuang near the evil tomb, as if it was not to guard the evil tomb, but to facilitate the tomb. ”

Hearing Liang Houzai's words, Old Lady Huang immediately frowned: "Why do you say that?" ”

Liang Houzai thought about it, and responded a little reservedly: "Because there is something that doesn't make sense, since the old Huang family has had a deep relationship with Shouzheng a long time ago, why after the excavation of the evil tomb, since Su Sanye wants to suppress the things in the tomb, why don't you find someone from Shouzheng to help?" ”

Old lady Huang glanced at my master at this time, but did not speak.

After that, Liang Houzai raised several doubts.

The first suspicion is why Su Santong wants to build a dungeon here that leads directly to the evil tomb, and the door of the dungeon can be opened, if he really doesn't want the evil tomb to be discovered again, it is obviously superfluous to build such a dungeon.
