417. Herb feast

They carefully counted the number of sarcophagi, 15 on the left, 4 on the front, 10 on the right, a total of 29, 13 of which had corpses in the sarcophagus, all of them were young women, all like living people. The other 16 sarcophagi were empty, and Li Xu believed that there were corpses inside, but he didn't know where they went.

They looked at the empty sarcophagus and remembered the old news that Lou Mingjiang inquired about before, there was a male villager in Moon Bay who didn't know whether to live or die carried a female corpse home, thinking that it was carried out from here, and then a series of terrible things happened, causing the villager's cousin Dai Mingming to change into a person, that is to say, the process of "borrowing people to return the soul" of the Leixia people does not necessarily have to happen in this tomb, but can also happen outside, and the corpse in the sarcophagus is the key.

As they stood in the middle of the hall, looking left and right, Jane saw the shadow of the female ghost, and she was startled, screaming that there was a black whirring man leaning on the wall to sneak up on the wall, and then retracted with a snort.

Chen Jin Ziyu is really here.

There are three doorways on the right hand side at the end of the front, all of which are chiseled out of the complete wall, arched, and behind each doorway are labyrinthine tombs made of black walls, which are very narrow, and two people walking side by side will be very crowded, Lin Qiliang quickly looked at the tomb map and said: "The three doors can be walked, but the leftmost one leads to the D cemetery where we don't have a map, it's not safe, the other two tombs have maps, you can go through any door, anyway, several tombs can be walked through in all directions." ”

They chose the doorway on the right and walked in, and Lin Qiliang and Lou Mingjiang walked in the front; Fu Yuxin took Li Xu's hand and followed; Behind them were Liang Fatzi and Jenny, who was slightly frightened by the ghost figure who was poking her head out just now, and did not fight to go to the front as before; Ding Ping and He Zhiqin walked at the end, but He Zhiqin still insisted on spraying fluorescent paint on the wall as a mark.

Qu Li turned around and walked dizzily for about half an hour, and suddenly smelled a messy fragrance, so fragrant that he choked tears, a group of people hurriedly put on gas masks, Li Xu bit the mouth of the inhalation mask, and sneered in his heart, if it was really poisonous, the poison smelled just now would probably be enough for them to die several times.

A few more steps on, and after two turns, they arrived at Cemetery B.

The cemetery was as big and tall as the previous one, but there were no sarcophagi, no corpses, and lush plants everywhere the light of flashlights and torches went.

There are plants everywhere, one by one, clusters and clusters, one by one, red, green, white, blue, purple, black, yellow, all kinds of flowers, dense to the point that they can scare people to death, real colors, real purple and red, real flowers and thousands of flowers blooming.

There are also lighting grooves on the walls on both sides of the B cemetery, but there is no sarcophagus to step on here, and one person can't reach the height, so Jenny took off her backpack and cooperated with Liang Fatzi, who made a ladder underneath and carried Jane up, and easily lit the fire, brushing it brightly, but the situation was a little different from the hall just now, the fire here only burned the wall behind them and on the left, but did not turn along the corner to ignite the lighting grooves of the other two walls. Liang Fatzi and Jenny searched strangely with flashlights, and saw that there was also a bowl-shaped notch on the other side of the wall that ignited the fire, so they walked over and lit it again, and there was a straight fire burning from one end of the hall to the other.

But the front wall was not burned like the hall just now, and it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Liang Fatzi said that it may be that the groove has been disjointed and disconnected for too long, or it may be that the wall has not been made as a lighting groove in the first place, and the specific situation has to be found out by walking over and seeing.

Fortunately, the people who made this tomb were not stupid, and they knew how to leave a path more than two meters wide in the middle, and then leave a narrow path at the place leading to each doorway, otherwise a sea of plants would have to make wings to fly over.

When he walked forward cautiously, Li Xu carefully looked at the surrounding trees, grasses, flowers, fungi of various shapes and colors, etc., etc., etc., there were more than a dozen woody plants, some tall and some short, and the varieties were different, some flowering and some not flowering, some bearing fruit and some not. The cultivation used to grow these things was white sand and humidity, and I thought that there must be water in the grotto, otherwise they would not have survived. Thinking again, this is the world recorded in Yu Tianguang's medicine book, how many miraculous plants, curing people or causing death, are probably things that are reversed.

Lin Qiliang was so excited that he almost died, his hands were dancing, and his eyes were full of fire, as if he had been under a spell.

Like the grunt in the movie "The Lord of the Rings".

Li Xu thought to himself, if Lin Qiliang's purpose was only here, it might not be a bad thing, because whether these things are beneficial or harmful to human beings, unless they are completely destroyed, someone will always need to study them, and it would be perfect for the police to supervise him to set up a special laboratory. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he was afraid that he still had some ulterior motives.

In this world, if there is a mistake, it will not be a thing, but a person. The good and evil of the human heart determine everything, if Lynch is kind-hearted and masters the fineness of these herbs, it is probably really as he said, it is a matter of overcoming difficult diseases and benefiting mankind, if he has evil thoughts in his heart, it is estimated that the next thing will be a world war, and it will be an unprecedented tragic battle.

Lou Mingjiang, who is also a biological expert, has always maintained his composure and vigilance, not at all as excited and crazy as Lin Qiliang, he is vigilant about everything, including the road under his feet and the walls on both sides, as if this place will collapse at any time, he walks a little on tiptoe, and at the same time has been holding their instruments to test the oxygen content in the air and do a poisonous gas reaction to determine that it is not toxic, but it is still not recommended that everyone take off the mask, for fear that the fragrance is too weird, and it may cause hallucinations or something.

Everyone else listened to Lou Mingjiang's words, and they were so careful that they couldn't take off their gas masks casually when they gasped and turned their heads. As soon as Lin Qiliang didn't listen, he took off his mask and respirator as soon as he saw that the air test results were confirmed to be non-toxic, because those things were in the way of his hands and feet.

Then, Lin Qiliang stopped, quickly opened the photocopy of the medicine spectrum assigned to him and began to look for it, there were a few times, he could barely control his hand, and actually tried to touch those flowers and grasses with unknown medicinal properties, He Zhiqin yelled at him angrily before he restrained himself, his eyes were gloomy, very ugly, unconvinced, and his eyes were a little ruthless.

He Zhiqin warned him that this visit to the tomb was only a rough investigation, and all the research and excavation work had to wait until the situation of the entire tomb was determined to rearrange personnel to enter the site.

Lin Qiliang lowered his head and remained silent.

After yelling a few words, He Zhiqin slowed down his tone and said, "Professor Lin, don't worry, as long as you act in accordance with discipline, the research work of these plants will be handed over to you, but don't make any messy tricks now, lest everyone look bad!" ”

Although the tone slowed down, the words he said were still as powerful, and Lin Qiliang could only be trained by He Zhiqin like a grandson, and there was nothing to say.

Li Xu didn't care what the expressions of the two of them were, but found that Fu Yuxin and Ding Ping's expressions and movements were a little wrong, Fu Yuxin looked completely out of the way, his eyes kept searching the plants on both sides, as if he was looking for something he was sure of. And Ding usually stared at Lin Qiliang fiercely from time to time, and looked back from time to time, with a complicated expression.

What does it mean for Ding Ping to walk at the back of the line and look back frequently? Was it just out of panic in a huge unfamiliar space, or was there really someone behind him? Or are there ghosts?

Li Xu was more and more nervous.

Jenny looked at the doorway of this hall, there was one on the left side of the north, two on the right side of the middle of the room, and there seemed to be three or four more doorways at the very end, maybe more than that, too far away to see really.

This place is so big that you can't see the head in sight, so you have to keep your heart in your throat, lest there be any unexpected situation and even be surprised.

Li Xu was half focused on the external environment, and took a little time to take a closer look at the tomb map, there were two doorways leading to the A cemetery they had just walked over, with different routes, and three other doorways could lead to the C cemetery by a route that could not be reached, and one or several doorways led to the D cemetery that lacked drawings. Where they were now had a route to quickly reach the circular E burial area in the middle of the tomb, where Li Xu was most curious, and always felt that if there was anything most magical, it should be placed there; If the weirdest thing happens, it should be there too.

Because it's the central area.

A few steps further, suddenly a piece of land was vacant, and a huge black stone pillar that required three or four men to hold together rose from the ground and went straight to the top, and after looking around, it was an entrance, for there was an almost straight staircase like the place where they had just come down, and on both sides there were stalagmites and dead vines to cling to.

Lin Qiliang compared the location of the tomb map and the Chenjiawu map and was convinced that this was the entrance in the locust forest that had been sealed for hundreds of years.

In other words, they are now under the ground of the locust forest in Chenjiawu.

He Zhiqin hurriedly warned everyone that if something happened, they couldn't run up here, the entrance had already been sealed, and there was only a dead end for crawling.

Then keep going.

Coming to a fork in the road with a narrow path, Jenny looked at the drawings and asked if she would continue like this or turn around and take the doorway on the right to Tomb C.

Li Xu thought for a moment and said to keep walking forward to see why there was no lighting groove on the wall at the very end of the front.

In her opinion, since there are lighting slots on all four walls of Cemetery A, Tomb B should be the same, unless there is some special purpose or design for that wall that will not be installed when it is rebuilt.

She guessed right.
