"Fourth master, what is this? Do you know this thing? Lao Xu looked vigilantly at the ball of meat lying motionless on the ground in front of him and asked.

"This thing is called 'Infant Corpse', I've heard of it, but I didn't expect to encounter it today." The fourth master continued: "This infant corpse does not exist in nature, it is artificially 'made'. Looking for nine pregnant women who were about to give birth on the same day, they used extremely vicious soul-snatching nails to seal the fetus's heavenly spirit before the fetus showed its head and inhaled the first breath of yang energy. After the baby is born, quickly lead away the two souls of heaven and earth among the three souls of the baby, leaving only the soul of life and the seven spirits, and then feed it a special elixir, and after forty-nine days, bury the nine babies together in the land of extreme yin, and after another eighty-one days, take it out and become the corpse of the baby. The fetus was waiting for reincarnation in the mother's womb, and it was supposed to be reincarnated as a human being. But he was forcibly robbed of the opportunity and separated into three souls and seven spirits. As soon as the two souls are gone, the fate and soul are inseparable, and the way of heaven cannot conclude that the baby is dead, and the three souls do not enter reincarnation. And the baby does not decay because of the pill fed, and the seven spirits are difficult to disperse. Buried in the underworld, the nine babies gathered their grievances, and the souls and seven spirits that remained in their bodies began to gradually become agitated and violent. Eighty-one days later, the nine babies overlapped and overlapped, and their respective souls and seven spirits gradually devoured and merged with each other, and finally formed such a monster. ”

"How did this infant corpse end up here?" I asked the fourth master.

The fourth master said: "This thing itself is extremely resentful, and with the addition of yin qi, it is very powerful. The owner of the tomb doesn't seem to be a good person, and if he makes this kind of corpse against the sky, he will be punished by heaven. He was not afraid of retribution and put four infant corpses, it seems that there are some rare treasures in the tomb, so he used this to guard the mausoleum. ”

The fourth master told us for a long time about the origin of the baby's corpse, but the four meat balls were lying quietly like that, not at all as powerful as the fourth master's mouth.

"Ah, these four... Oh no, it's thirty-six cubs who are still tossing in the coffin, why are they all good babies all of a sudden? Could it be that you are afraid of our four masters? The scholar didn't move when he saw the baby corpse, so the heart that was hanging just now slowly calmed down.

"Don't move, be careful, this thing is not as cowardly as you think, don't be careless." The fourth master still looks like he is facing a great enemy. A few of us didn't dare to be sloppy, and we all stared at the meat balls in front of us.

Suddenly, the four balls of meat flicked together in a tacit manner, and many small hands around them waved one after another, and then began to accelerate and roll towards us. After the infant corpse in front of me rolled two or three meters away from me, it suddenly revealed its crooked features from between a pile of small hands. Under the flashlight, I couldn't see where it came from, but a black liquid shot out and went straight to my front door. I didn't expect things to change so quickly, my heart was suddenly shocked, and I subconsciously squatted down, and the liquid flew over my head with a fishy smell, and shot directly on Lao Xu, who was originally back to back with me. Fortunately, Lao Xu was carrying a backpack, and the backpack that the black liquid touched directly corroded a big hole.

I hurriedly removed Lao Xu's backpack and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that there was no problem with his back. I felt guilty about Lao Xu in my heart, and almost killed Lao Xu because of my knee-jerk reaction. Everyone did not dare to be careless, and we really had no choice in the face of the four infant corpses that were not far from us. Under the stele is black liquor. The area above the stele is limited, and there is no obstruction. We stand here like condemned prisoners, waiting to be executed.

The fourth master didn't speak, and suddenly pulled out the camping tent from the backpack that Lao Xu had unloaded on the stone tablet, shook it forward, and then flew down the stone tablet, stepping on the tent spread on the ground and coming to the infant corpse in front of him. The three of us used our backpacks to cross in front of each other, and then turned around and used a flashlight to provide the fourth master with a vision. I saw that his hand shook, and the soft sword had already drawn a beautiful sword flower. The infant corpse was cut off in part. However, it only barked in a kitten-like voice, and it was not a big deal.

Immediately afterwards, the infant corpse continued to spew black liquid from its mouth, and the fourth master tossed and turned very flexibly on the cloth of several square meters of tent. Unexpectedly, this thing that has become a bad thing, there is still a little wisdom, and the remaining three infant corpses obviously feel that the fourth master is a greater threat, so they all turn around and go straight to the fourth master. The three of us all raised our throats in our hearts, and we wanted to help but couldn't rely on it, so we could only watch the four corpses besiege the fourth master. If it comes to fighting alone, the fourth master can still be entangled for a while, but now it is four against one, and the fourth master is in constant danger. Several times he was shot by black liquid, and his clothes were corroded into large holes, revealing black skin and constantly oozing blood. I think maybe we ate Huisheng Zhi before entering the tomb, and at this moment, the fourth master may have died of poison. But for the sake of the three of us, he did not hesitate to restrain the four infant corpses, and we had to do something about it.

I was so anxious that I circled around the stone tablet, not knowing what to do. The scholar and Lao Xu were also anxiously concerned about the situation of the fourth master at the moment. I used a flashlight to shine a light on the stele, hoping to find something that would be right for me. On this stone tablet, there is a small protruding sign near the back, and I think this may be the god tablet. I picked it with my hand and found that the god position card was also made of stone, and it was a little shaky. I used my hand hard, and with a lot of force, I actually broke it off the base. I said in my heart: Dude, don't blame me, we really have a problem today, these little cubs you raised are too dishonest. Now take your tablet and use it, and when I finish teaching these cubs, I will put them back for you.

I held the stone tablet in my hand, looked at a meat ball attacking the fourth master from behind, roared, and threw it with all my strength. The god card slapped on the meat ball in the blink of an eye with the sound of the wind, and I slapped a few rolls with a "squeak". The scholar shouted: "Good fight!" ”

I was still proud in my heart, but I didn't expect a sudden change. Someone in the stele at his feet sighed as if desolately, and then the stele began to tremble! We were caught off guard and fell to our knees, and Lao Xu almost fell. Everyone had to sit on the stone monument and lower their center of gravity. The fourth master didn't have time to take care of us, and he was still entangled with those meat balls, but he was obviously at a disadvantage.

The stele shook for a while, clicked, moved to the left, and under the original position, a large hole was revealed, and I looked down through the light, and the entrance of the cave obviously had steps winding down. I think the fourth master and his physical strength are exhausted, and I am afraid that there will be more luck and less luck in this way. With a shout, everyone hurried down the steps. Although I don't know where this staircase leads, I have to take one step at a time when facing danger. Get out of here and then consider the rest.

I saw that the scholar and Lao Xu went down first, and hurriedly greeted the fourth master. The fourth master turned his back to me and said, "You go first, I can follow." ”

Seeing that I couldn't help, I had to withdraw first. When I went down to the steps, the fourth master kicked a meat ball away, then jumped back hard, pushed the stone tablet with his hand, and took advantage of the situation to rush into the hole. I saw that he was covered in wounds, and blood was soaking through his clothes. I couldn't help but feel sour, and hurriedly helped the fourth master. The fourth master waved his hand, but he couldn't say a word, but the two of them walked down the steep steps as fast as they could. We don't know if the god card triggered this trap, or how to close the hole. Now, the four of us retreated into the hole, but the hole was wide open, and I didn't know if those meat balls would follow.

The scholar and Lao Xu were not far below, and the fourth master and I were holding on to them. After a short walk down the steps, you reach the bottom. It turned out that this place was almost exactly the same as the top, as if it were a two-story building, and the layout was almost the same from top to bottom. It's just that the place where we came down should be the location of the stone monument upstairs, but the corresponding position downstairs is actually nothing.

We looked at the surroundings and found nothing abnormal, so we quickly asked the fourth master to lie down, and Lao Xu took out a first-aid kit from his backpack and began to treat the wounds of the fourth master. We surrounded the fourth master and untied our clothes, only to find that almost all of the fourth master's body was black liquid residue. Lao Xu wiped the body of the fourth master with a medical cotton ball, disinfected it with alcohol, and finally sprayed Yunnan Baiyao on the place with a large wound area. The scholar took out a spare jacket from his backpack and put it on for the fourth master. The fourth master nodded and said it didn't matter. It's a small injury. Just use some hemostatic drugs, and disinfection is not necessary. The effect of Huisheng mushroom can detoxify all kinds of poisons.

From time to time, we used our flashlights to shine on the steps above, for fear that the balls of meat would roll down. Fortunately, the four infant corpses somehow did not follow. The scholar said that those little cubs must be afraid of heights and dare not come down. In short, we, especially the fourth master, urgently need to take a break. The four of them drank some water, lay on the ground horizontally, and rested for a while.

The fourth master is worthy of being a member of the Holy Dragon Gate, his body is different from ordinary people, and through pranayama, he quickly recovered his state, and then said: "The layout here is exactly the same as the dormitory just now, such an ancient tomb structure is very special." ”

Lao Xu replied: "It is indeed special. It stands to reason that if it is a treasure site with excellent feng shui, some ancient tombs of different ages may be located in the same place. In this way, without knowing it, it is possible to build tombs on top of each other. But these two places are clearly artificially created in the upper and lower layers. From a feng shui point of view, it is extremely unfavorable to the tomb owner. Almost no one would build a cemetery for themselves like this. It's weird. ”

I said, "Could it be a grave of doubt?" Legend has it that Cao Cao set up 72 tombs in order to prevent his tomb from being stolen. ”

"It's not impossible, if it weren't for Xia Nan inadvertently triggering the trap, many tomb robbers would have died in the dormitory above. It's just that the god card is obviously placed there, and the tomb robbers will also play its idea, and eventually they will also discover this secret passage and go to the next floor. Lao Xu said.

We discussed it for a while, but we couldn't get the point. Just rest for a while and wait until your strength is well enough to explore this place carefully.
