Xiangxi Suspicious Tomb Chapter 10 Double-Faced Corpse (1)
The moment I pulled the trigger, my mind went blank. Hearing a bang, I leaned back, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: it didn't hurt at all. Then I felt that something was wrong, there was a dead end of two walls behind me, and there was no extra space for me to fall.
But by the time I reacted, it was too late, and I felt a pain in my back, and I didn't know what I had hit, so I fell down with my eyes closed. When I opened my eyes again, I found that it was pitch black and I didn't know where the gun had fallen. I pulled out the lighter and lit it several times. As soon as the firelight came, I saw an old face full of wrinkles in front of me, and I was so frightened that I quickly put down the lighter. I don't know exactly what happened, except that I was waiting to die in the venom-filled graveyard a second ago.
"You kid has a big life, meet me, cough cough." It sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember who it was. At this moment, a cold light lit up in the darkness, and I saw an old man leaning against the corner, waving weakly at me. I stepped forward to take a look and found that it was Master Yu, who had been missing for a long time. He was covered in blood, and several blood blisters came out of his mouth as he spoke. Only then did I realize that he had saved me, and he was busy helping him to sit up and taking out the kettle from his bag.
Master Yu was much more haggard than he was two days ago, and his originally sturdy body was shriveled and unhuman. I don't know what kind of treatment he has suffered in the past two days, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that he will not live long. At that moment, I had a lot of questions in my head, and I wanted to ask them in one go, but he didn't give me the opportunity. The old man squeezed my hand and leaned towards me. His expression was surprisingly hideous, his body was so thin that there was almost a piece of skin wrapped around the skeleton, and his two eyes glared at me without blinking: "Destroy, you must destroy it, you can't let them find it, you swear, you ......-
I couldn't understand what was going on for a while, Master Yu went down to Niangniang's grave with us, and he had disappeared as early as when he was looking for the burial pit, and we also speculated that he had already betrayed the revolution and went to the wild food by himself, but in front of me, I actually met this long-lost old-timer in the No. 2 tomb, and I suddenly didn't know what to say. The old man was very excited now, and he might braided his hair at any time, but I didn't dare to stimulate him, so I repeatedly promised him that whatever he found would be destroyed. I don't have a clue who he says - it - and - they - are. The old man - you, you, you - for a long time, did not take his last breath, closed his eyes and went. I was startled and sniffed out to see that he had just fainted.
I found my flashlight and turned it on for a long time before it was faintly shining. In the past, in order to save electricity, I was always responsible for lighting everyone, but now this flashlight is finally unable to support it because of the long working hours. I looked around and saw that it was a very well-designed darkroom. There is a flap door on the wall that can only be pushed open from the inside, no wonder we have been looking for so long and have not found a way out. I sat Master Yu aside and found that there were a lot of blood stains on the ground, most of which were left by him along the way when he walked over. It made it easier for me to find a way out, but I don't know where he hid from and if he could join Shirley Yang and them.
I stood up and found that this dark room was even smaller than I imagined, only about three or four meters wide, and there was a narrow passage, which could only be used by a single person to pass through the guò sideways, and there were blood stains on both sides of the passage, and Master Yu probably squeezed it from there. I checked the canvas satchel that Master Yu was carrying, and pulled out an object the size of a palm, which was wrapped in layers of linen, and I couldn't tell what it was for a while. I subconsciously glanced at Master Yu and hesitated to open it to take a look. It stands to reason that this is someone's private property, and I really have no reason to peek at it, but his words before were like his last words, and if I don't investigate it clearly, I seem to be sorry for others.
I said to Master Yu, who was lying on the side, "Otherwise, if you don't want me to see it, just snort." If you don't say anything, I'll have you acquiescing, how about it? ”
I waited for a long time wrapped in sackcloth beside him, but the old man remained silent. Naturally, I was not polite to him, and confidently uncovered the linen cloth layer by layer. As the package thinned a little bit, a familiar smell slowly wafted out, and I knew in my heart that it was the unique smell of rotting corpses, and I couldn't help but stop the movement in my hand. I don't know if the smell came from the contents of the package, or if the burlap itself came from some strange place. I put my flashlight aside, held the package in one hand, and slowly uncovered the last strip of linen with the other. My heartbeat increased little by little with the movement of my hand, and suddenly, the already faint light jumped for a moment, and then went out completely. In the darkness, I felt a cold wind quickly touch the back of my neck, and my whole body shivered, and I immediately reached for the lighter in my pocket.
This time, I polished the lighter smoothly, but as soon as I looked down, I saw a shriveled human hand on my knee, my heart jumped, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be Master Yu, who woke up at some point, grabbed the things in the sackcloth bag with one hand, and didn't let me see it. I said helplessly: "Master Yu, remember to say it in advance the next time you get up, don't come out of the back and scare people to death." ”
He half-opened his eyes and said, "It wasn't me just now, this thing can't see the light, wrap it up quickly." They catch up when they smell it. ”
"Who are they?"
"You don't care about this, ahem." Professor Yu snatched the sackcloth from my arms, turned around and carefully wrapped the things in his palm, "Sometimes, knowing too much is dangerous, and I am doing this for your good." I didn't think you could find this place, even so, you should know about what is hidden in the mother's grave. He looked at me as if to make sure of my reaction.
I said, "The little devil came after you ran away, but now the situation has been brought under control." We did come down to find Ding, do you know something? Let's put it bluntly. ”
"Ahem, ahem, this is a matter of my ancestors, don't ask more. Those legends are all lies to confuse the public, listen to me, and when you find that thing, you must destroy it. Ahem, what about your children, separated? ”
It's good that he didn't mention it, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I remembered the mysterious disappearance of him in his mother's grave before. I asked him, "There is a group of Japanese who covet the contents of the tomb, and they came down a long time ago. Do you know about this? ”
I stared at his facial expression, looking for a flaw. Master Yu stuffed the burlap bag into his arms without changing his face, let out a long groan, and sneered: "Little devil of dog day." Just by them? Phew! ”
I didn't have much contact with Master Yu, but I felt that he was a person who valued affection, so I simply said directly: "Professor Li mentioned to me that the secret of King Qin's Jinding is buried in Niangniang's tomb. These Japanese people must have come for this national treasure. You're an old-timer in this industry, and you're definitely better informed than we are. To be honest, we were all deceived by Lin Fang, and we are so busy that we don't have a clue at all. If you want to, be sure to mention it. ”
Master Yu glanced at me, took out a candle from his satchel, and asked me to go to the corner and light it. I didn't know what trick he wanted to play, so I stuck the candle in the southeast corner of the dark room, according to the rules of Captain Jin. With the candlelight, the whole dark room suddenly lit up, and I asked Master Yu, "What are the raw materials used for this candle?" It's almost time for an incandescent lamp. He smiled and said nothing, only that he had made up the secret recipe himself.
Before, I only found the secret passage used by Master Yu to escape, but now there is light, and the whole room is in full view. The interior of the dark chamber is not made of masonry like the tomb tunnel, but is a more modest mud embryo. The walls are covered with neatly arranged storage pits, covered with dust. I fiddled around a few times to clean up the dust, and found that there were many jade jars and copper vessels with unique shapes placed in them. Master Yu asked me to find one for him, and I picked one of the jade bottles carved with flying owls and handed it over. The old man didn't look at the bottle, and threw it to the ground, and the jade bottle shattered. My heart twitched, Qin Shi's jade is rare, and his fall is worth the economic income of a production brigade for several years. Fortunately, the fat man is not here, otherwise he would definitely not be finished with him.
After the jade bottle shattered, many small vermilion pills rolled out of it, the size of a fast-acting heart pill. Master Yu said: "This is cinnabar pill, also known as medicinal gold, which is an inedible primary product in alchemy, and contains highly poisonous. ”
I don't know why he explained this to me, but the old man continued: "Since ancient times, princes have been so good at looking for immortals and asking for pills, and they want to use the art of outer pills to prolong their lives and even feather and ascend to immortals. What is hidden in this dark room are all ancient alchemy materials, and many of the recipes have been lost and need to be protected...... To tell you the truth, I brought those Japanese people in. ”
