Chapter 53: The Mass Grave

Xia Longsheng was still very nervous, and he asked uneasily, "Has the corpse poison really been completely removed?" Why don't I apply it a little longer. ”

Huang Yixian smiled and said: "Hehe, it is not good for you to apply it for a long time, not to mention that these glutinous rice flour have been eroded by corpse poison, if you keep applying it on your body, if you don't do it well, the corpse poison will regurgitate your body, wouldn't it be troublesome." ”

When Xia Longsheng heard this, he didn't wait for me to come forward to help, and hurriedly picked up all the glutinous rice noodles on his chest.

After a fight with Mao Zhuang, it took more than half an hour unconsciously, Huang Yixian raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowned and said: "In less than half an hour, the mausoleum is afraid that it will turn again, everyone don't rest yet, hurry up and find the mechanism to open the stone gate." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately got up and searched around the stone gate.

After about ten minutes of searching, Seabeard found a bluestone brick that could be pressed near the top of the tomb on the outer curved wall.

This time it should be right!

So Seabeard rode on Xia Longsheng's shoulder again and carefully pressed the stone brick.

However, after a burst of sound from the mechanism activating, the stone door to the left side of the chamber was opened.

Curious, he walked to the stone door, looked inside, and didn't know what he saw, suddenly let out an exclamation, and quickly took a few steps back.

Huang Yixian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Cheap, what's wrong?" ”

The cheap man pointed to the burial chamber opposite the stone gate, and said with a frightened expression: "Li...... It's good inside...... Lots of skeletons......"

Huang Yixian frowned, immediately took out a few ghost exorcism talismans from his satchel and squeezed them in his hand, and clenched the peachwood sword that had been bitten by Mao Zhuang, and slowly walked towards the stone gate.

Out of curiosity, except for Liu Chengwu accompanying Li Song, the others also followed closely behind Huang Yixian, wanting to see what was going on.

As soon as the group stepped into the stone door, they were immediately shocked by the situation in front of them, this is also a fan-shaped tomb, but the arc of the tomb is much larger than the tomb just now, and from the position where we are standing, we can't see the other end of the tomb because the arc is too large.

However, what shocked everyone was not the size of this tomb, but the fact that in the entire tomb, there were actually ragged corpses lying all over the place, and I am afraid that there were hundreds of corpses as many as possible.

After being stunned for a while, Xia Longsheng asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" There is a 'mass grave' in this tomb! ”

Professor Dong said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, they must be the workers who built this mausoleum, and Shao Yuanjie killed them all in order to prevent the secrets in the mausoleum from leaking out. ”

"That's fucking ruthless!" Xia Longsheng gasped.

"In order to help Emperor Jiajing refine the elixir of immortality, Shao Yuanjie once sacrificed the pill with the blood of a boy who was less than three years old, which can be said to be extremely vicious, so it is not surprising that he designed to kill the workers who built the mausoleum." Professor Dong said, turning his head to look at Huang Yixian: "Mr. Huang, you thought that the resentment in the lotus pond in their school came from this mausoleum, could it be related to these corpses?" ”

Huang Yixian nodded: "I'm afraid it's not unrelated!" ”

He crouched down, examined it carefully, and said, "Their bones are black, they must all have died of poisoning!" Presumably, because the death is not clear, it will lead to resentment. ”

"Then does Old Mr. Huang have a way to resolve their grievances?" Professor Dong asked.

Huang Yixian said: "Now I only have to do a ritual to collect all the unjust souls trapped in it into the soul bell, and after I get out, I will find a chance to surpass them for them." ”

"Then without further ado, hurry up and ......" Before Professor Dong's words were finished, Xia Longsheng, who was standing on the side, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned, Professor Dong hurriedly reached out to help him up, but he pushed Professor Dong away, and then looked at his appearance, he looked very painful, his body twitched violently, his face was hideous, the corners of his mouth overflowed with white saliva, his eye sockets were full of bloodshots, and his eyeballs bulged out.

As soon as I saw this situation, I immediately understood what was going on, when I was a lowly ghost, this is what I looked like!

In fact, before entering the tomb, in order to prevent being invaded by ghosts, Huang Yixian pasted a cleansing talisman on everyone's body, but Xia Longsheng tore off the purification talisman and threw it away by himself because of his anger with Huang Yixian, which is why so many of us have only him being ghosted.

Huang Yixian naturally saw what was going on, he quickly took out a ghost exorcism talisman, quickly pasted it on Xia Longsheng's forehead, and took out a cleansing talisman and pasted it on his chest.

Xia Longsheng's body twitched more violently, and his expression became more hideous, Seabeard didn't know what was going on, and he was startled, thinking that he was not having a sheep epileptic attack.

Professor Dong hurriedly explained: "Xiao Xia was caught by a ghost, and Mr. Huang is helping him exorcise ghosts. ”

Huang Yixian was busy for a while, and Xia Longsheng finally calmed down.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on the floor, and everyone was surrounding him, and asked in a daze, "How am I ...... What's wrong? ”

"You were caught by a ghost just now, but fortunately, Mr. Huang ...... in time" Seabeard had just said half of his words, only to hear a "boom", and the stone door behind us slowly closed.

Professor Dong suddenly reacted and shouted, "Oh no! Xiao Li and Xiao Liu are still in that tomb! Seabeard rushed forward and knocked heavily on the stone door, but there was no response.

"Mr. Huang! What can I do? Professor Dong turned his head and asked Huang Yixian.

Huang Yixian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the stiffness in that tomb has been resolved, as long as they don't touch the mechanism, there should be no danger for a while, and it's okay to avoid the unjust soul slipping out." It's better to wait until I finish the rituals, collect the souls in this tomb, and then find a mechanism to open the stone door. ”

Worried that Li Song and Liu Chengwu would press everywhere, Seabeard shouted loudly through the stone gate: "Li Song, Chengwu!" We're looking for a mechanism to open the stone door, so be patient and don't press it. ”

Soon Liu Chengwu's response came from next door: "Got it, Brother Hai!" His tone sounded relatively calm, and Professor Dong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Yixian was bending over to prepare for the things needed to do the work, the floor of the tomb shook slightly, and the whole mausoleum began to rotate again, after all, it had been experienced several times, and everyone was a little accustomed to it, but what made people feel strange was that this time it was rotating in a counterclockwise direction.

Huang Yixian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and muttered: "I didn't expect that the rotation direction of this inner tomb and the outer tomb is completely opposite, I'm afraid it's troublesome." ”

"What's the trouble?" Professor Dong hurriedly asked.

Huang Yixian said: "Because in this way, we are getting farther and farther away from the Dizhiwu Palace, and if we want to leave this tomb, we have to pass through other tombs. ”

Professor Dong nodded thoughtfully: "Makes sense!" If you enter other burial chambers, you don't know what evil things you will encounter. ”

"Hehe, but it's nothing, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it! Since we can even deal with stiffness, what else is there to be afraid of! Huang Yixian said, taking out the soul bell and a stack of soul charms from his satchel: "Let's settle the matter here first." ”

He shook the conjuring bell in one hand and pinched the conjuring talisman in the other, and walked slowly towards the center of the tomb. As he walked, he chanted a conjuring spell in his mouth, and from time to time he scattered a conjuring charm lit with white phosphorus.

After a while, there was a strange sound everywhere in the tomb, and it sounded as if someone was sighing, which made people shudder.

I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but take two steps back, but suddenly I felt as if I had stepped on something hard under my feet, I thought I had stepped on bones, I was startled, and hurriedly lifted my legs, and then looked down again, it was not a skeleton, but a short sword.

Out of curiosity, I stooped down and picked up the dagger, and took it in my hand to take a closer look, the dagger looked very exquisite, the body of the sword was about a foot long, the hilt and scabbard were dark gold, it seemed to be made of brass, but strangely there was not a trace of rust after hundreds of years in this damp tomb. On both sides of the scabbard is engraved a vivid flying dragon, which is quite imposing. The handle is carved with a pattern that resembles fine fish scales, making it very comfortable to hold.

At the top of the hilt, there was a dark red gem, and when I saw this ruby, my heart suddenly moved, and seeing that no one noticed me, I hurriedly and secretly put the short sword into my satchel.

After about half an hour, Huang Yixian finally finished the rituals, and calm returned to the tomb, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to everyone: "Okay, now you can find the mechanism to open the stone door." ”

Everyone immediately groped around the stone gate.

However, because the whole tomb was so big, everyone searched separately for a while, but they couldn't find a bluestone brick that could be moved, and just as they were wondering, Seabeard suddenly shouted: "Come here, it seems that the bottom of this floor tile is empty!" ”

Everyone hurriedly ran over, and Seabeard tapped the square floor tiles under his feet with the steel pipe in his hand, and the sound of "knock, knock, knock" sounded like it was hollow.

Huang Yixian pondered for a moment and said, "Pry open this floor tile and take a look!" ”

Seabeard immediately took out two crowbars from his backpack and handed one of them to Xia Longsheng, and the two of them squatted down and got busy.

Since the gap between the floor tiles was very small, it was not easy to get down the crowbar, and it took a long time for the two of them to finally pry the floor tile open.
