Chapter 21: Thousand Coffins Fire Dragon Array

Master Liang waved his hand, saying that this is not clear, but he said that there are not as few five-grade officials in the Qing Dynasty as I thought, and most of the guards with knives in the palace are five-grade, and there are also thousands of people, plus the palaces and all special units in various places, the number is far more than here. Besides, we haven't opened all the coffins here, and we can't be sure that all the corpses inside the coffins have peacock feathers.

The Manchurians do not have the custom of cave burial, these people to move the corpse here, I am afraid it took a lot of trouble, if it is really as Master Liang said, such a large-scale massacre unrelated to the war, must be to cover up some dangerous things that are well known, thousands of people here, I don't know what they saw or heard, to a certain person in power to erase.

Master Liang said that there is a layer of Qing Dynasty tombs under the thousand coffin caves, maybe the secret is there, after all, there are only a few layers of green bricks in the two places, no one believes in coincidences, if you want to know more details, you can only enter the ancient tomb.

Of course, we can reach the entrance of the tomb.

After I listened to him, I felt more and more that the ancient tomb below was mysterious and unpredictable, Master Liang did see the torch slightly, and told me some allusions very briefly, but I had never heard of it, at this time the old itch came to beckon us to hurry up on the road, and I didn't want to bother anymore, so I said to Master Liang while walking, and the three of them got up and stepped on the broken coffin and human bones to the other path.

At this time, we have determined that the corpses here are completely decomposed, and there is no need to taboo those coffins, so we no longer follow the order listed in the coffins, but rely on the compass on the master's watch, while looking at the surrounding terrain, while pondering how quickly and easily to break the shortcut to this coffin array.

As I watched from the top of the cliff, I remember that our destination was on the side of the entire circular cave. One side is attached to the cave wall, so as long as you step over these coffins and walk along the cave wall, there is absolutely no problem in getting there, but we are now in the array, if we still follow the coffin back and walk back to the cliff, maybe there will be more trouble, it is better to make a decision immediately. It can be a little faster to climb over the coffin walls one by one here.

At that moment, let Master Liang hold the torch, we took the lead, stepped on the coffin on the side, and walked to the edge of the cave, and when we encountered the dilapidated coffin along the way, we directly pushed it down, and the well-preserved one was lifted and put aside. It didn't take much effort to force a passage in the labyrinth of the coffin array.

When carrying the coffin, because the bottom of the coffin is the most rotten, so the corpse inside often leaks out of the bottom when it is lifted, we study while walking, and find that these people are wearing official robes when they die, and the silk clothes have all turned black and mildew here, but occasionally some can still distinguish the lines on it, Master Liang was surprised while looking at it, saying that the people here are all military attache uniforms, and it seems that they are all soldiers.

In addition to these, sometimes a few litters of small mice come out, all of which are very large, and we ignore them all in order to avoid any extraneous branches.

Strangely, after passing through six or seven coffin walls, there was still no sign of the end in front of me, and I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that walking like this still couldn't escape the coffin maze of this donkey? At this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and the three of them were nervous, so they still had to go down.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the cave wall finally appeared in front of us, at this time the torch was already very weak, the burning head was only half the size of a fist, and our visible range was also reduced to an indescribable point, Master Liang calculated the direction, and said to us, if we estimate according to the direction, the open space should be around us, but I don't know which direction.

I raised the torch, trying to take advantage of this to shine a little farther, but the surroundings were even darker, and the old itch said don't expect torches at this time, we still have high-tech, and as he spoke, he took out his flare gun and raised his hand to the head to shoot it.

The meteor-like signal flare shè was in the air, I subconsciously looked up, waiting for him to start burning, but I didn't expect the meteor to fly, suddenly snapped, rebounded, and fell straight down.

When I saw it, I groaned, and my heart said rì you plank, forget that this is a cave, and hit the roof of the cave before it starts to burn.

The flare fell down quickly, until it almost hit the ground before it burst out, this is the phosphorus pentoxide signal flare used by the expedition, it can burn for about 50 seconds, the initial ignition temperature is very high, I look at the distance between it and the ground, I know it's going to be bad, sure enough, it only a few seconds after it landed, and the fire has already ignited on that side.

I kicked the old itch and scolded him for being brainless, but luckily the coffins here were all wet, otherwise we would have to run back to put out the fire. Before I finished speaking, Master Liang patted my hands and shouted: "Two grandfathers, this time it's going to be bad!"

I looked back, only to see the place where the small fire had just started, suddenly a wall of fire sprang up, unbelievable, this wall of fire was spreading along the path between the coffins at an alarming speed, for a while I saw a fire dragon walking close to the ground in the dark cave, everywhere I went, the coffins on both sides of the path made a burst sound.

When Master Liang saw this scene, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and when he smelled it, he shouted: Fire oil! Oil was poured into the mud!

I was shocked when I heard it, squatted down and pinched the soil, and sure enough, I was busy telling the old itch to put out the torch, and I felt cold in my heart, I didn't expect that there was such a powerful trick hidden in this coffin array. It's a miracle that nothing happened along the way, and if we accidentally dropped the torch on the ground just now, then Grandpa and a few of us would have been burned to charcoal.

The fire dragon in the distance did not slack off at all, I don't know when it has been divided into two roads, the flames are more than one person high, and the hole will be illuminated in a short time, I will take a look, and find that I can finally see the pattern here, only to see that the entire thousand coffins array has a vein path, not a big place, several places have coffins with different faces, it seems to be a mechanism used to create illusions in the dark, but the path is connected, this fire dragon will burn to us sooner or later, we must find a place to avoid.

I looked around anxiously, and saw that the hollow clearing was actually more than ten meters away from our left, but there was already a wall of fire in the middle, and the dirt inside had not burned, it seemed to be a good place to take refuge, and at this time the fire faucet was already rushing towards us, and there was no time to think about it, so I shouted to them: Don't look stupid here, that pit is there! Fuck rush over and go down to the dungeon!!

The two of them reacted, stepped directly on the coffin and rushed towards the clearing, I didn't know that I still had the potential to hurdle, I was able to step over the coffin less than two meters, and in just a few seconds I had already come to the wall of fire, and a scorching wave of air rushed to my face.

I wanted to rush over, but as soon as I got close to the wall of fire, I smelled the smell of burning my head, and I hesitated at my feet, and I wanted to stop, but unfortunately I was used to being very big, and I wanted to brake but couldn't brake, so I had to scream, and jumped over with my eyes closed, fortunately, the speed was fast enough, but I felt that my body was hot and had rolled to the ground, I rolled to extinguish the fire on my body, and then Lao Itch and Master Liang also rushed over, and rolled down to extinguish the fire.

At this time, I already knew why the ground here was sinking, and the oil and soil on the surface had been shoveled away, and I didn't have time to take a closer look when I rolled down, and the old itch had already rolled to my side screaming.

I hurriedly took off my coat and helped extinguish the fire on the old itch's body, and helped him up to see, the person was fine, but the eyebrows were burned, and when I turned my head, I saw Master Liang constantly rolling, but the fire on my body was not extinguished, I thought that it was probably because he had fallen to the ground, and his clothes were stained with fire oil, so he couldn't be extinguished, so I quickly threw him down and extinguished the fire with mud on the ground.

Master Liang screamed, white smoke came out of his body, I and the old itch stripped his clothes, only to see that there were a few places on his back that had been scorched, fortunately there was a lot of cold sweat, which played a protective role, generally speaking, it was not a cause, I opened the kettle, poured half a pot of water on his back, cooled him, and then looked up to see the situation around him.

The open space we are in has been blocked by the wall of fire, the outside is in a mess, the heat wave hits, all the hair on the body is curling sound, many coffins are probably because of the relationship between the water vapor steaming, keep bursting, the coffin board flies up half the air, I see that the general trend has gone, the thousand coffin holes must be completely burned, here is a low-lying place, wait a while The oxygen may be burned out, not simmered to death is also scalded to death, busy to find the old itch said that go to the "anti" thief hole, before a few steps, the old itch grabbed me, yelling: The big thing is not good, Don't copy - copy guys, Lord Yama is here by name!!

I don't know what he meant, I turned my head to look, and suddenly I saw six or seven big rats burned crazy to the fire, and jumped over the wall of fire, and went straight to my front door and bit over, I dodged with a cat's waist, and the old itch didn't wait for them to pounce again, a shot knocked one away, I raised the extinguished torch, and as a weapon also knocked a few that came over, but at the same time, another dozen rats rushed out like lightning, this time I was too close, scratched a few times on my back, and immediately rolled to the ground, and the old itch was a few shots, forcing them back, I looked up, and obediently, the coffin outside the wall of fire was already full of rats, large and small, all staring at us with red-hot eyes.

I screamed in my heart, these rats who jumped in were shocked by the sound of the old itchy gunshots, and they didn't dare to get close for the time being, but those outside the wall of fire, seeing that the place where we were standing didn't seem to be burning, would inevitably rush in one by one, more and more numerous, and in a few minutes, when they found that they had the advantage in numbers, they would inevitably rush up and eat us into skeletons.

I think it's not worth fighting hard here, pull the old itch, let him leave these rats alone for the time being, the most important thing is to find the thief hole, put Master Liang down first, and then plug the hole and be afraid of nothing. The old itch burned the green tendons, and I came to my senses as soon as I said it, withdrew the magazine, looked at the bullets, stuffed the gun to me, and then picked up Master Liang and walked to the center of the pit, I held the gun in one hand and slapped it with the other, and followed him.

I had only walked a few steps, the nearest few rats suddenly screamed, lightning pounced, I raised my hand and fired four shots in a row, hit three, and two had already pounced in front of me, I couldn't do anything, threw out the racket, a loud noise, and the two rats were volleyed into meat paste.
