I handed Gu Da Meinu's pistol to Tofu's hand and said, "If she comes over again, you will shoot." Tofu grabbed the pistol with his backhand, scolded and said, "Damn, she's a corpse, it's useless to shoot." ”

Behind him, Zhen Rui said: "People have weaknesses, corpses have weaknesses, as long as she dares to appear, you will shoot at her upper dantian." "The so-called dantian of traditional human body is divided into three dantians: upper, middle and lower, the upper dantian is located in the center of the human eyebrow, which is considered by the ancients to be the place where the soul lives, the middle dantian is located in the center of the chest, which is the life of the living person, and the lower dantian is located in the sea of lower abdomen, storing the essence of the human body. This traditional theory is in the same vein, so in ghost theology, the upper dantian is also one of the methods to eliminate ghouls.

Although Tofu scolded in his mouth, he did not flinch, and began to crawl forward slowly, I could only see his feet, and everyone untied the equipment bag and pushed forward, which was extremely difficult, and now, it was Tofu who became our pioneer. I climbed and cheered for the tofu, for fear that he would suddenly make a mistake and stay put.

About 20 minutes, we turned a corner in the Z-shaped thief hole, at this moment, Tofu was happy, said: "I saw the exit, hiss......" Then, he hissed violently, and then we heard a bang in our ears, the gunfire in the narrow thief hole, it was even more deafening, the thief hole was hit by this huge sound wave, for a time the broken earth rolled down, and the eyes of the fascinated people were hot.

I spat out the fishy dirt and coughed, "Xiaodou, she's coming?" ”

Tofu stopped in place and didn't move, but said: "No, Xiao Jing didn't see it, but we can't get out of the hole, there is a spider web, and there is a spider squatting on it that is bigger than a human head." ”

Spider?

Gu Wenmin was surprised: "There are spiders in the ground so deep? ”

I said, "I know of a kind of earth spider, which is said to be a remnant of the Cretaceous period, good at digging burrows, living very deep underground, and feeding on gophers, earth pythons, etc. Immediately afterward, I asked Tofu, "What does that spider look like?" Is there a white pattern on the head, like a Peking Opera mask? ”

Tofu said: "Yes, how do you know! ”

I said, "Don't be afraid, this is the earth spider, it doesn't eat people, did you hit that shot?" If you don't hit, give it another shot. "Actually, I say this to comfort Tofu, the earth spider is actually very ferocious, and it also feeds on other kinds, and is good at storing prey, and it is said that its spider silk is very sticky, and can trap a human child, and the most terrible thing is that it is highly poisonous, and a pair of large crows that have not yet degenerated in their mouths can secrete venom, and a bite can poison a big cow.

If I tell the truth, tofu can't be scared to pee my pants? At this time, the thief hole is narrow, and Tofu is blocked in front of him, and only if he is unstoppable, we can move forward, so I lied and encouraged Tofu to strike first, otherwise we will be very bad when the big earth spider crawls in.

Tofu is easy to fool, and when he heard me say this, he immediately became angry and said, "It turned out to be a useless one, look at me." After speaking, he heard another gunshot, and Tofu immediately said: "oK, I shot it away." So saying, he began to crawl forward.

After a while, everyone finally got out of the hole, and after suffocating in the cave for so long, as soon as they came out, everyone shook their hands and raised their arms to move their muscles and bones, and while moving, they observed the surrounding environment.

Outside the entrance of the cave was the spider that had been shot by Tofu, not yet completely dead, and several fluffy legs twitched a few times from time to time. By the light of the headlamp, we saw that the place we were in now was a gourd-shaped cave, and there was a narrow round-arched aisle not far away, like a thin waist in the middle of the gourd.

And above our heads, there is the treetop of the Huangquan ghost tree, the thief hole of grandpa and his party is really skillful, not only avoiding the poisonous needle, but also going straight to the ground.

This cave has very obvious traces of artificiality, and there are fire troughs dug into the shape of square holes on the surrounding rocks and soil walls, which should be the place where torches were placed thousands of years ago. Tofu hissed, looked around, and said, "This place seems to have been dug out by hand, it seems that the disappearance of Zimu Kingdom has nothing to do with the earthquake, otherwise this cave would have been destroyed in the earthquake." You say, what is such a deep underground cave for? ”

According to the height of the Huangquan ghost tree, we have already descended a hundred meters, and this depth is not terrifying. Thousands of years ago, why did the people of Guzimu build such a deep underground cave? Why did they suddenly disappear into history? Is there any connection between their disappearance and this underground cavern?

While observing, Tofu said, "Will Xiao Jing hide around here?" Let's not scatter and walk together safely. "This kid is timid, but I also have a taboo in my heart Xiao Jing, so I nodded and walked in front of the road. The place was empty, the ground was still a little damp, and I didn't know what it was for. While everyone was on guard, they walked towards the direction of the gourd's waist, and when they reached the waist, I couldn't see the Huangquan ghost tree behind me, but at this time, the corner of my eye suddenly glanced at the top of the cave, and there seemed to be a white thing hanging.

I was startled, stopped and looked up, and in an instant, everyone exclaimed, it turned out that on the cave above our heads, there were countless corpses in white clothes. These corpses are fluttering in white, and their shadows are hidden in the dark, and if it weren't for the brightness of our headlights, it would be really hard to find.

When I suddenly looked up and saw such a scene, I chuckled in my heart, and it sank like a stone had fallen. At this moment, Gu Wenmin's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly said, "No, it seems to be some dummies." "In the dim environment, I squinted my eyes and looked closely, and sure enough, I found that these hanging people were originally erected with wooden shelves, with a strange iron mask tied to the top of the shelf, and their bodies covered with white clothes, and at first glance, they really looked like hanged ghosts.

Gu Wenmin said: "These dummies are wearing masks, and they seem to represent the people of the Earth Ghost Clan. ”

Tofu said: "The whole dummy is here to scare people, it seems that the people of Zimu Country are not as terrifying as the legend says." ”

At this time, Zhen Rui seemed to think of something, glanced at Tofu, and said lukewarmly: "What do you know, this is called 'Hanging Corpse Array', which is a kind of evil formation in the ancient tomb, you see, these people are hanging on it, with their masks facing down, are they just staring at us?" "I looked up, and sure enough, the masks were tied to the wooden shelves, but the angle was a little drooping, as if the people who were hanging on them were looking down at us, even though I knew that they were dummies, but it still felt a little creepy.

I have also heard of the hanging corpse array, the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and in some large mausoleums, in addition to the anti-theft technology of the crossbow mechanism, some evil formations are often set up to block tomb robbers, such as the corpse raising bureau encountered in the tomb of Princess Geger and the strange jade bridge is one. The hanging corpse array, originally replaced by a dummy, hung at the entrance of the underground palace, to scare the tomb robbers, and later, it evolved into a burial array with living people, and then later, some evil spells were added, making the hanging corpse array from the beginning of scaring and warning tomb robbers, into a dangerous and abnormal evil formation.

And the hanging corpse array in front of us is a dummy made of wood, that is, it is still in the initial stage, and it mainly plays a threatening role.

I felt strange and said, "This hanging corpse array has been circulated for a long time, and it is all used for the protection of the underground palace, how can it appear here?" "My eyes can't help but look at ......the waist of the gourd, behind which is a wider space, and our lights can't shine on it." Everyone obviously thought of one place: there is a hanging corpse array here, could it be that behind the waist of this gourd, there is an underground tomb thousands of years ago?

Who is the owner of the tomb?

We ignored the primitive hanging corpse array above our heads, and instead walked into the space behind the gourd with cautious steps.

As soon as he entered, Gu Wenmin shivered and said, "It's so cold." Tofu also shrunk his neck and said, "This temperature difference is too strong." ”

We looked around and immediately found the source of the cold. To be exact, this is not cold, but yin.

The cave is an irregular rectangle, with a wide avenue in the center, flanked by a typical ancient animal burial pit, which at first glance is full of ceramic clay pots, sheep's heads and cow bones, and on the left and right walls of the cave, there are countless holes dug into square holes.

The pits were arranged in an orderly manner, layer by layer, like the checkered notebook I used when I was a child, and because of the location, we could not see how deep the pits were, but from what was faintly peeking out of the hole, there was a kind of black grate placed inside.

When I came here, I had a general understanding of the customs and customs of Guidi, and I immediately recognized that the black sliver was made from a plant similar to the dog's tail grass, called the black sliver, which has a fragrant taste and a natural insect repellent effect.

Guidi has many insects and snakes, mosquitoes and flies are big, the people of Guidi in ancient times used this kind of grass to weave into a mat, sleep under their bodies, they can be protected from mosquito bites in summer, until modern times, some remote mountainous areas, still far away from mosquito coils and insecticides, through the ancient method of guò, sleep peacefully in summer.

In addition to sleeping for the living, the common people have died at home, and when they enter the coffin, they will first wrap them in black slivers, indicating that death is like life, although there is no luxury of the emperor's mausoleum, but it has been passed down, and now with the compulsory cremation, and people gradually pay less attention to funerals, so the custom of wrapping the body in the black mat has been rare.

I was secretly frightened, and I said to myself, "Could it be that all these pits are wrapped in dead bodies?" As far as the eye can see, there are all square holes, which are dense at a glance, which makes people feel frightened.
