Chapter 34: The Shadow of the Serpent
It was dark ahead, and I asked him, "Is the snake still there?" ”
Zhen Ji said: "I ran forward in a flash, Xiao Zhong Bacheng has been ......" Zhen Rui stared at the darkness, and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are not so easy to die." After saying that, he made a gesture and walked ahead first, and everyone walked through the dense grass and trees, the surrounding vines were crowded one after another, and the cold mist shuttled between the plants and trees, making the qiē in front of them hazy under the light.
At this moment, a dim light suddenly appeared in the dark grass and trees in the distance.
Could it be Zhong Gong?
Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, but when they got closer, it was a small wooden house, standing among the grass and trees, with a large open wooden door, squeaking and hunting in the yin wind blowing from nowhere. It was pitch black inside the door, but the light we had seen before came from a broken lantern in front of the wooden house.
The lantern fell to the ground, and it should have been extinguished, but it was still on. Tofu glanced at the lantern on the ground, gasped violently, and said, "Old Chen, there is a wick in this lantern, but there is no lamp oil." "How can a lamp come on without oil? I couldn't help but glance into the lantern, and sure enough, there was only a lone blackened wick inside, dancing with flames.
As the distance closed, I smelled a strong fishy smell in my nose, and the source of the smell seemed to be in the wooden house in front of me. Everyone was a veteran, and they looked at each other, and then they all aimed their weapons at the wooden door. I turn on the headlamp I wear on my head, which is more power-hungry and can free my hands, and in general, we try to use flashlights as much as possible, unless we don't have any hands to turn on the headlights.
The powerful light penetrated the black fog and shone directly into the inside of the wooden house, I thought that there would be a snake in this wooden house, but I didn't expect that after the light was turned on, there was a person lying inside, it was Zhong Gong.
Zhen Ji was shocked, and immediately snatched out, helped Zhong Gong up, and reached out to probe the pulse of his neck.
Zhen Rui asked, "How's it going?" ”
The rest of us didn't rush to see Zhong Gong, the situation in this place was too weird, and we paid more attention to this strange wooden house when Ji Ji moved.
He said, "I'm still alive, but the man has fainted, bring me water." Gu Wenmin threw out the water bag from the equipment bag, and I scattered with Tofu and Zhen Rui, and quickly touched this small wooden house, it seemed that this was a temporary rest room. Perhaps the building area of the Lishan Treasure Hall is too large, so in the interior of the hall, there are some places for people to rest, of course, ordinary people are definitely not qualified to enter here to rest, and only the overseers are qualified.
The wooden house was covered with cobwebs, scattered with heavy dust, and Tofu was choking on the dust while coughing, at this moment, his cough suddenly stopped, hissed, and said: "Lao Chen, when you told me, what was the name of the person in charge of supervising the cultivation of the treasure hall of Yashan Mountain?" ”
I said: "My name is Wu Yanshi, he is a feng shui master in the Ming Dynasty, who is good at public opinion and knows how to find the pulse, what?" ”
At this time, I found Tofu's gaze, staring directly at a dusty desk against the wall, as if there was something on it, I couldn't help but take a closer look, and for a moment I only felt a chill in my vest, because there was a fallen tablet on the desk, and the handwriting on it was faintly legible, and the book read: Wu Yanshi's spiritual position.
Tofu swallowed his saliva and said, "How come there is still a tablet in this place?" Isn't this Wu Yan Master in charge of the overseer responsible for the construction of the Yashan Treasure Palace? Could it be that he died here in the end? ”
This was all hundreds of years ago, who can still say clearly. I was also confused for a while, so I speculated: "The geological structure of this place is complicated, maybe there was an accident in the process of supervising the construction, and he died here, so this tablet was set up for him." ”
Tofu didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes rolled wildly, and after a while, he said, "Then his body, will it be buried here?" ”
Corpse? I said: "Of course you have to bury it if you die, these hundreds of years have already rotted in the swamp, don't think too much." "Although it is comforting tofu, I am also a little stunned in my heart, even if there is really an accident, people like Wu Yanshi must be hiding in a safe area, and the probability of death is still relatively low, could it be that he is infected with some disease?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xiao Jing let out a loud scream, everyone was cautious, and suddenly heard this sound, and they were shocked, but they didn't find Xiao Jing at a glance. At this time, Gu Wenmin's eyes were sharp, and he said, "There is a door in the back, she went to the back." With that, he drew his gun and rushed towards an open door in the right corner.
Tofu and I followed, went in to take a look, and found Xiao Jing hiding behind Gu Wenmin in fright, looking like she was about to cry, and stammered: "Yes, there are dead people." ”
But I saw that this place was about a sleeping place, and this wooden bed was placed, and the tent on the wooden bed had already been **, but the most peculiar thing was that there was no bedding on the wooden bed, but a black coffin.
I think Xiao Jing didn't want to stay with us because of my business, so she broke into this room alone, and was startled by the coffin.
Gu Wenmin put away the gun, looked at the wooden bed, and said curiously, "Why is there a coffin in this place?" ”
My heart moved, and my heart said: Could it be that the person in the coffin is Master Wu Yan? If a person dies and is not buried, what is the coffin put here for?
I immediately took a few steps forward, walked to the bed, looked down, and suddenly found that something was wrong, the coffin lid was not tightly closed, and a coffin crack was obliquely exposed, and a strong fishy smell came out of the coffin, and the choking person was nauseous and vomited.
Just as we were looking at the coffin, Zhen Ji walked in with Zhong Gong in his arms, and Zhen Rui followed behind the two of them, asking us what was wrong, I pointed to the coffin, Zhen Rui is a smart person, and immediately understood. Tofu saw that Zhong Gong woke up, his attention was attracted, and he said, "Brother, you usually look like a, why did you stop cooking?" ”
Zhong Gong doesn't smile on weekdays, but he can't help but smile bitterly at this time, and said: "Brother Dou, don't make fun of me, people have misses, horses have stumbled." ”
Gu Wenmin asked, "What happened?" ”
Zhong Gong pursed his lips, and after a moment, shook his head and said; "I don't know. I stood at the door, and I had a strange feeling that something was peeping in the dark...... Immediately after that, you spoke in the temple and mentioned the previous head of the house, and I was divided for a moment......" At this point, he frowned, presumably regretting that he was too easily distracted.
"And then?" Tofu asked.
Zhong Gong shook his head and said, "Then the moment I turned my head, I smelled a smell, and the whole person was stunned, and then I was dragged out by something, and finally I didn't know anything." ”
Tofu immediately said: "The one who dragged you away must be the big snake that the Chihuahua saw." ”
Zhen Ji didn't bother to correct the nickname given to Tofu, and said: "It's possible, but the snake caught Xiao Zhong, how could he put him well?" Tofu touched his chin and speculated, saying, "Eighty percent of the snakes think they need to wash their hands before eating, so they go out to wash their hands." Oh no, it's going to have to come back in a while! ”
Gu Wenmin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said: "Xiao Dou, first, snakes don't have hands, and second, I don't think it was necessarily a snake that captured Xiao Zhong before, you forgot, Xiao Zhong said that he was stunned by a gust of smell." ”
Tofu looked at Zhong Gong and said, "The snake farted and fainted you?" ”
The corners of Zhong Gong's mouth twitched fiercely, ignoring the tofu, but looking at me and saying, "You can be a brother with this kind of person, I really start to admire you now." ”
I was speechless for a while, and after a while, I coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Wen Min is right, there are many doubts about this matter, but one thing is certain, that thing will definitely come back, no matter what, everyone should be vigilant." Now that the person has been saved, don't delay any longer and leave this place first. No sooner had I finished saying this than I heard a sudden click in the silence of the cabin, like the sound of a fish's tail beating on the ground as it was thrown ashore.
The vigilance of everyone was very high, and this sudden sound made us hold our breath for a moment, and when we listened to it, Tofu's eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed to the coffin in front of us, and the meaning was obvious: the sound came from the coffin. Immediately afterwards, Tofu made a mouth shape and asked us: What should we do? It seems that there are zongzi in it.
In a moment, there was another noise in the coffin, and then the fishy stench became even greater, as if something was fermenting inside. I made a gesture to signal that more is better than less, and to retreat. Everyone had no objections, and they all withdrew from the room where the coffin was placed, and were about to leave, but when they turned their heads to look, they suddenly found that the door that had been creaking in the wind was covered by a strong fishy wind, and it slammed shut tightly, blocking our retreat.
The moment the door was closed, I saw the lantern that had fallen to the ground outside the door was slowly floating in mid-air, and behind the lantern, there was still long black hair fluttering.
"Hiss......" Tofu gasped and said, "Why do the lamps and lanterns still grow hair?" "At this moment, the door has been closed, and the lantern with the long hair is no longer visible, but on the wooden door, a black shadow shines, the thickness of a bucket, with a triangular head, and a high upper body, as if it is about to break in.
Zhen Rui snorted and said to Tofu, "It washed its hands and came back." ”
Tofu cried and said, "Local tyrant, can we stop joking at this time?" It's not funny at all. ”
