Chapter 281: Deep in the Pit
Everyone knew very well in their hearts that if they walked down this tunnel, they didn't know when they would encounter corpses, and they had to make all the preparations in advance.
Finally, at Master's suggestion, I counted everyone's equipment again and confirmed that there were no problems, and then we entered the tunnel.
This tunnel is very spacious, and several people can walk away even side by side, but a large number of stone stalactites are grown on the ground and at the top of the tunnel, and the further you go, the more dense the stone stalactites become, and the ground is slippery, so it is not easy to walk.
When I walked to the second half, there were some dark pits in the stalactite forest, I walked in front, and every time I encountered a dark pit, I would use a green steel sword to carve a cross-shaped mark on the stone stalactites next to the pit to remind the people behind.
I don't know how long I walked, until I heard the sound of running water in front of me, and I knew that we should be almost at the end of the tunnel, and beyond the tunnel, there should be a waterfall or a dark river.
But when I was almost about to walk out of the tunnel, the sound of rushing water came to my ears, but a dark pit under my feet aroused my idea.
Most of these puddles are puddles located in the shadow of the stalactite forest, some are large and some are small, some are deep and some are shallow, and the edges of the puddles are slippery, and it is easy to plant one's head when you step on them.
But the pit in front of me, the edge of the pit is surrounded by palm-sized stone bricks, those stone bricks are directly embedded in the ground, and the diameter of the pit surrounded by them is about half a meter.
I turned on my flashlight and shone into the "well", the water was so deep that I could see a school of fry swimming through it by the refraction of the water and light.
I immediately turned around to greet Senior Brother Feng, and when Senior Brother Feng came over, I raised my chin towards the well.
Senior Brother Feng gathered in front of the well and looked down with me, and after a while, another group of fish fry swam through it.
I asked Senior Brother Feng, "What does it mean that the tomb builders put a well in this place?" ”
Senior Brother Feng thought for a while and said, "There are fish swimming in it, which means that there should be a dark river under this well, and we have been walking in the tomb for so long, and we have never seen any signs of life, but there are creatures in this well...... This well should be a marker, and if there is life, it means that the road we are walking is the way of life in the tomb, and if we leave the way of life, we may be a dead land. ”
In other words, the road we have walked is a life path left by the tomb builders, and it is difficult to say whether the way of life is life or death.
At this time, Senior Brother Feng said again: "There is no obvious chaotic Qi field in this place, but the magnetic field is very chaotic, you look at my compass." ”
As he spoke, he took out the feng shui plate, and I saw that the hands on the compass were shaking irregularly, and the frequency of shaking was very high.
Senior Brother Feng said: "The Qi field is not chaotic, which means that the leylines here themselves are very problematic, and the people of ancient times will not use the Qi field, but they have a deeper understanding of the leylines than later generations, and I estimate that they should have built the main structure of the tomb near this kind of leyline." To put it simply, only after leaving this life path can you officially enter the tomb built by the ancients. ”
I noticed that Senior Brother Feng's tone seemed to be warning me not to leave my life.
I kept looking him in the eye, and he looked at me, and after a while, he spoke again: "In our Tunmeng lineage, there are three kinds of tombs that belong to the forbidden land and are absolutely not allowed to enter. One of these is this ancient tomb built on an anomalous leyline. ”
"Then we can't get in?" I asked Senior Brother Feng.
Senior Brother Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You can enter, but you can't be too far away from the path of life." ”
I asked him again, "But what if the corpse goes into the tomb?" ”
Senior Brother Feng shook his head and said, "The corpse can not be suppressed, but such a tomb must not be penetrated. Moreover, if the corpse goes in, we will save trouble, so the tomb, even if the corpse goes in, there is no way to get out. ”
Hearing Senior Brother Feng's words, I was a little hesitant in my heart, it took so much effort to come to this place, and I was about to see the corpse, did I want to return in vain?
At this time, Liang Houzai walked over with Master on his back, and Master also heard the conversation between me and Senior Brother Feng before, and when he came to my side, he said to me: "Your Senior Brother Feng is right, that kind of tomb is indeed not allowed to enter. Let's just take a stroll around the periphery, if we can find the corpse, let's take the town, if it enters the tomb, we don't care about it. ”
I asked Master, "Master, didn't you remember that you said before that Master Ancestor had entered this ancient tomb?" Moreover, the ancestor also instructed you not to go to the tomb easily, saying that there are many mechanisms in the tomb. But we didn't see any mechanism along the way, so I was thinking that Master must have entered the depths of the ancient tomb, and the mechanism in his mouth was seen there. ”
Master nodded: "Your ancestor's situation is different from ours, he had a friend by his side when he was young, that is an old Si of Miao Jiang, he is the same as Li Liang, he is also a descendant of the Yelang clan. Every time your ancestor wants to go down to the ancient tomb, Lao Si will be there, these descendants of Yelang are proficient in witchcraft, and they have the capital to save their lives when they walk around in the tombs that are too old. When I was in my twenties, the reason why your ancestor asked me to go to the Yungui generation to look for Li Liang was also because I found an ancient tomb, and at that time, Lao Si passed away, and in order to go to the tomb, we had no choice but to pull Li Liang into the gang. ”
While listening to Master's words, I turned my eyes to Liang Houzai's side, Liang Houzai came into contact with my gaze and immediately shook his head at me: "My main energy in the past few years has been on the Chenzhou Fu, as for witchcraft, I have only learned a little bit now. If you're going to go to the grave, I probably won't be able to help much. ”
As soon as Liang Houzai said this, there was basically no hope for going to the tomb.
I nodded and said to Senior Brother Feng, "Then let's walk around the life road, if you can't touch the corpses...... By the way, didn't Uncle Xia say that this time we will go to the tomb and we will definitely be able to find the corpse? ”
As I spoke, I turned my gaze to Master.
Master was reminded by me and said, "That's true. ”
As Master spoke, I felt that everyone's expressions had become a little heavy.
We can't go any further, we can only investigate near the way of life, but Uncle Xia said that we will definitely be able to find the corpse. That means the corpse is now not far from the tunnel.
She was very close to us.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely oppressive, I took out the green steel sword and handed it to the master, who hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to take it. He turned his head, beckoned to Luo Fei, and said, "Luo Fei, come to me, prepare the spirit flag." ”
Luo Fei pulled out the spirit banner from his backpack and came to my master, who said to me, "Keep walking." ”
I nodded earnestly and was about to walk out of the tunnel, when Master told me from behind me, "Be careful. ”
I didn't look back, but I still nodded, and then I walked out of the tunnel with the green steel sword, and before I came out, I left a mark at the exit of the tunnel.
Beyond the tunnel is a cave that has obviously been excavated by artificiality, the hole is so deep that the fox fire cannot reach its end, and on the floor of the cave, there are puddles of different sizes, small ones, only the size of fists, and large ones, but they can almost be called waterholes. Each puddle is full of water, and the surface of the water is extremely calm.
Senior Brother Feng reminded me again: "The leylines here are abnormal, don't go too deep." ”
I didn't reply, I sank and kept walking.
Although the cave is filled with a large number of puddles, there is not much moisture in the air, and the humidity here is even lighter than in the tunnel.
At the same time, the ground is not as slippery as expected, but walking on the ground, whether you will step on some gravel, those stones are hard and sharp, and through a layer of rubber sole, it feels a little awkward.
We walked slowly, leaving a mark on the ground for each part of the way.
During this time, I passed by a large puddle, which was about three meters in diameter, almost a small waterhole.
Unlike other puddles, the ground near this puddle is covered with a lot of water, and the ground is slippery, so we have to be careful when passing by it.
After this puddle, we walked some distance further, and still found no trace of the corpse.
At this time, Senior Brother Feng came up to me and said to me, "It's been six hours since the last time I rested, so let's take a break and eat something." ”
I looked at the people in the team, and everyone's faces were a little tired, so I nodded to Senior Brother Feng and led the team towards the tunnel.
We're definitely not going to rest here in the cave, after all, it's very likely that the corpse is nearby, and who knows if it will suddenly appear while we're resting. At present, the safest option is to go back to the tunnel first.
On the way back from the same path, I passed the three-meter-wide puddle again, and I noticed that at the edge of the puddle, there was still a large amount of water overflowing, and the water surface was shaking slightly.
This time, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The other puddles are calm and full, but they do not overflow. This one alone was as if something was hiding in it, squeezing out the water in the depression.
What's hidden inside?
There's something hidden inside!
As soon as this thought came to my head, I felt my heart tighten all at once.
I immediately raised my hand to signal the person behind me to stop, and then crept up to the puddle and watched cautiously into the puddle.
I had a flashlight in my hand, but I didn't dare to turn it on for fear of disturbing what was in the water, but I couldn't see what was under the water just by the glow of the fox lantern.
In fact, I know very well in my heart that if there is really something in the water, it can only be a corpse.
I took two steps back and threw the very man on his knees as I made a few gestures to the others, signaling them to lie on the ground as I did.
It wasn't until I was sure everyone was lying down that I turned on the waterproof flashlight and threw it straight into the puddle, then quickly pressed my ears to the ground.
It was said to be a puddle, but in fact the water inside was very deep, and when the flashlight fell into the water, it stirred up a wave, and after a while, I heard a faint "bang" sound from the bottom of the water, and the sound was so weak that it was almost imperceptible if I didn't listen carefully.
