Chapter 22: Catch the Demon and Go Down
After getting ready, Uncle Li coughed, took the shining bronze mirror, and was about to drill into the black hole, but then stopped and looked back at Yang Yi: "What, you move those powder kegs in first." ”
Seeing that Yang Yi puffed out his cheeks and didn't speak, Uncle Li realized that Yang Yi still had a sip of wine in his mouth, and couldn't help but laugh: "Spit it out, the bronze mirror has been opened, and those miasma will naturally disappear." ”
Spit out the wine in his mouth, Yang Yi moved all the three powder kegs to the entrance of the cave, and then according to Li Shu'er's instructions, he first picked up a powder keg and followed it into the black hole.
Uncle Li walked in front, although the black hole was full of collapsed stone slabs, but Uncle Li was familiar with walking, and many times he walked like a fly without the help of the light of the bronze mirror, which couldn't help but arouse Yang Yi's suspicions, could it be that Uncle Li had been here before, otherwise how could he be so familiar with walking in his own corridor?
Yang Yi held a powder keg, and from time to time along the way, he had to bypass the stone slabs or stones stacked together, which was very physically exhausting, but after walking for more than ten minutes, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a spacious closed tomb road large enough to accommodate the next car appeared in front of him.
The tomb road is square, the dome on it is painted gray and white, the left and right sides are full of gray murals, although the age, the soil on the surface of the mural has peeled off, the facial expressions of those characters on the picture appear mottled and hideous, but if you look closely, you find that the characters and backgrounds/scenes on the murals are basically based on marching battles and triumphant celebrations, and in those endless murals, there is always a armor wearing a bright silver scarf and wearing armor. The general with a spear is depicted slightly larger than the others, and it can be seen that this was deliberately done by the painters to highlight the importance of this general.
The shade in the tomb, and under the light of the bronze mirror in Uncle Li'er's hand, those murals constantly reflected strange colors, making the mural characters who already looked strange because of the peeling paint more and more hateful, and always reminded him of the murders of those corpses discarded in dry wells or abandoned pipes that he had investigated before, as well as those disgusting pictures that he didn't want to think about in his life, so that his breathing became heavy.
Uncle Li noticed Yang Yi's changes, turned around and asked with concern, "What's the matter, it's a little unbearable to move the bucket, right?" ”
"Mmmm, it's okay, uncle, where are we going?" Yang Yi was embarrassed to say that he was a little scared, so he responded vaguely, and at the same time quickly changed the topic.
"Well, I think it's almost the same, so, you go back the same way, move the rest of the powder keg in, let's bury the powder keg here, and then set up the lead, and when we bring the snake demon up, we will light the fuse from the outside, detonate the gunpowder, and blow the snake demon into flesh and blood." Uncle Li looked around, and finally said his wishful thinking.
Yang Yi also moved the remaining two powder kegs in, and Li Shu'er instructed him to place one of the two powder kegs in a dark corner near the cave, and the other about 200 meters away from the entrance of the cave, and then asked Yang Yi to bring the third barrel of gunpowder and sprinkled a fuse composed of gunpowder powder between the two powder kegs.
"When the snake demon comes up, let's climb up along the entrance of the cave, and then throw the fire fold down, bang, it's a hundred, and when the time comes, you can take Miss Lu back and continue...... Mmmm, haha" Uncle Li looked at the gunpowder fuse, looked at Yang Yi with a relaxed and obscene expression, and smiled.
"Rub, it's that simple?" Yang Yi's old face flushed, and he looked at Uncle Li and asked rhetorically.
"It's as simple as that, you see, how easy it is to catch demons, isn't it?" Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi with blinking eyes, and that expression made Yang Yi instantly more vigilant.
"Pull it down, I haven't heard the truth in my mouth since I hit you, it's strange if it's simple." Yang Yi rolled his eyes at Uncle Li, he was really suffering from this old liar's conditioning (Northeast dialect: deception), and he would rather believe in the daytime than believe in Uncle Li's mouth.
"How do you say this, it's really that simple, you'll know in a moment, let's go." Uncle Li was a little bored, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the grave road in front of him.
Yang Yi followed behind Uncle Li, laughed secretly, and said in his heart, Xiao'er, you still want to play with me, save you.
However, if he could have known in advance that there would be such a series of dangerous experiences that were almost hanging by a thread, Yang Yi would never have laughed at this moment, not only could he not laugh, but he would also turn around and run as soon as possible, and after running back to the ground, he would hold the hair of the old liar and press him to the ground, and he kicked his head and melon seeds, kicking his nose and bleeding, and he had to scold while kicking: "Let you fucking lie to Lao Tzu, cut you to death!" ”
But at this time, because there was no cumbersome powder keg in his hand, Yang Yi, who felt relaxed, was still in a good mood, so that he was still in the mood to admire the murals on both sides of the tomb.
Since they have walked through a section of the tomb, the murals here are no longer military themes, but have become scenes of life, but the protagonist is still the general he saw just now, but he has taken off his armor and replaced it with a purple round-necked and narrow-sleeved civilian clothes.
"Uncle, have you ever been to this tomb, I think you recognize the Tao." After walking for a while, Yang Yi saw that Uncle Li was walking fast in front of him, and he ignored those exquisite murals, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I don't understand this bit of common sense, since ancient times, looking for the dragon point is to sit in the north and face the south is auspicious, let's go south along the tomb road, you can walk to the main burial chamber where the coffin is stopped, what is new about this." Uncle Li didn't look back, "Besides, if you haven't entered a few ancient tombs, how can you still say that you eat the bowl of rice of cultivation, stupid." ”
"Okay, you cow break, my admiration for you is like the snot of the cold, it is endless, hehe" Yang Yi laughed.
"Shhhh Yang Yi's laughter caused a buzzing echo in the tomb, Uncle Li turned around and glared at Yang Yi sternly, Yang Yi quickly closed his mouth.
In the meantime, they had reached the end of the tomb on this side, and in front of them was a square door made of white marble, and there was also a monster with angry eyes on it, which looked a little like a lion.
"This should be the place where the coffin is installed, if the snake demon wants to absorb the aura of the treasures buried in the tomb or the grievances of the martyrs, he will definitely enter this tomb, and, you see, between this stone door and the ground, there are obvious scratches, it can be seen that this stone door has been opened, and the time is not long, so what, boy, come here, hit a few times and try first." Uncle Li squatted in front of the stone door, and after carefully inspecting it for a while, he waved his hand and motioned for Yang Yi to go over and knock the door open.
"No, how big is your heart, can I break through this door? It's about the same to blow it up with gunpowder. Yang Yi looked at the stone gate that was very thick with a bitter face, and said a little reluctantly.
"Hugh is going to be verbose, bang!" Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi, and what he said was categorical and unquestionable.
In desperation, Yang Yi had to gather enough strength and slammed it towards the stone gate, and then he simply bounced back, sat on the ground with his buttocks, held his shoulders and shouted: "It's over, uncle, my shoulder is dislocated, and the rest of the work depends on you." ”
"Fuck you, pretend to be a dead dog, get out." Uncle Li smiled evilly and kicked Yang Yi, who was three points in pain and seven points in pain, "I just want to verify whether this door can be opened with brute force, it seems that it is really not, hehe"
"You...... Okay, I'm playing with you again, I admit it. Yang Yi knew that his IQ would never be able to catch up with Uncle Li'er's cunning and cunning, so he had to get up from the ground full of mud and sand and listen to his next words.
"From this point of view, this snake demon's Taoism is really not shallow, and he actually knows the art of resisting ghosts, which is interesting, and this is really interesting." Uncle Li patted the stone door and said to herself.
"Boy, you have eyes today, and Uncle will show you a unique skill to resist ghosts, so that you can open your eyes." Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi and began to twist his waist and move his hands and feet.
"Unique, okay, if you pull the bubble poop yourself and eat it again, that's the unique job, hum" Yang Yi took a few steps back and muttered quietly.
Uncle Li didn't hear Yang Yi's ridicule, because he was busy pulling out magic weapons from his robe, which was nothing more than those Fa Ling, rune paper and the like, and then rolled his eyes, revealing a pair of frightened whites, and began to hum a spell: "Five ghosts and five ghosts, rushing and busy, charming hiding, impermanence, I am ordered by the edict to avoid the wilderness, if you dare to disobey, the bones will fly......"
As the incantation in Uncle Li's mouth became more and more urgent, Yang Yi was surprised to see that the stone door, which was as difficult to shake as if it had taken root just now, was really opened quietly.
At the same time, a cold, damp gas with a pungent musty smell gushed out of the door, and fine sand began to fall above the tomb, as if the opening of the stone door had caused a resonance.
Seeing that the stone door was opened, Uncle Li stopped chanting the incantation, took out a handful of paper money, lit it and threw it into the stone door of the black hole.
"It's called money that can make ghosts grind, and I was bargaining with them just now." Uncle Li glanced back at Yang Yi, who was looking at him in surprise, and said lightly.
Li Shu'er's words were somewhat joking, but Yang Yi didn't feel funny at all, because he saw that the paper ashes were sucked into the tomb by an invisible whirlpool, but the tomb road they were deep in was impermeable, where did this cyclone come from?
There is only one answer, there is indeed something unknown in that tomb, in other words, it is the ghost that Uncle Li said!
