Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Belly of the Mountain
He looked into the cave again, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
He pondered in his heart: "It is estimated that it is really related to Fu Kaitian, if it is really him, the prohibition inside should be almost destroyed." ”
He has now determined that Chen Hao does not have his own thoughts, and he may be able to get the treasure first, so he decided to gamble immediately, turned his head to Chen Hao and said: "Chen Daoyou, we can't beat their brothers and sisters, it's better to try, in case there are not many treasures in it, the one who goes first will definitely get it first." Chen Hao was puzzled and looked at him suspiciously.
Wang Liang said with a smile: "It's still Xing Daoyou who is smart, and the treasures inside are naturally returned to the first." But he sneered in his heart: Even if you get the treasure, you will be killed and robbed by us in the end!
Before Chen Hao could ask again, Huang Yin glanced at him, pulled him and stepped into the tunnel, Wang Liang and Wang Rong brothers and sisters saw them enter the cave, glanced at each other, and sneered in their hearts.
At this time, on the mountainside, the treasure hunters in the air on the top of the mountain have not yet taken action because they can't find a way to get in.
The two of them walked into the tunnel where they couldn't see their fingers, and Chen Hao's snake tail dragged the ground, making a "rustling" sound. The two of them each used their spiritual power to explore the surroundings, and they felt that this tunnel was very deep, and they couldn't see the end in front of them.
After a while, the ridicule of Wang Liang's brothers and sisters came from outside the cave, the two ignored it and continued to walk forward, Chen Hao spoke first: "Xing Daoyou, you know that they want us to die, why do you want to come in first?"
Chen Hao was shocked when he heard this: "How do you know?"
The two walked along the cave for about ten miles, only to see some light at the front door, and they were immediately happy, but they were also afraid of any danger, so they did not dare to speed up their pace, and still observed while walking.
Walking again, the light in front of them is getting bigger, and they can already see that this light is the golden light, the two of them went out of the tunnel, and in front of them is a semi-circular mountain belly space, the space is huge, there is a big hole in the center of the dome, and the huge golden light is shot from here into the top of the mountain.
The two of them didn't dare to approach the golden light, so they looked carefully under the golden light, and saw that the golden light was shooting from the center of the space and the ground, and they knew it in their hearts, and said to Chen Hao: "Chen Daoyou, this golden light is shooting from under our feet, look carefully, there should be a way to get to the bottom." ”
Chen Hao said yes, and together with Huang Yin, he rummaged around with the golden light, looking for treasures while looking for the passage down.
There was a lot of black ash on the ground around the space, Chen Hao rummaged in the ashes, touched a hard object, took it out and said to Huang Yin: "Daoyou, look at what this thing is?" Huang Yin took it and took a closer look, but saw that this object was only a few inches long, scorched black from top to bottom, and only a little white in the middle, and said: "This should be a bone." Chen Hao shouted: "Then the ashes around here should be the ashes left over from the burning of corpses!"
The two of them were frightened, and stopped rummaging for treasures, concentrating on finding the passage that led to the bottom.
Finally, Huang Yin found a stone staircase in the north of the mountainside space, which only allowed one person to pass through, and led to the bottom in a rotating manner, and hurriedly greeted Chen Hao.
Desolate Yin took the lead, and the two slowly went down the stone stairs, and when they reached the second floor, they saw that the situation on the second floor was the same as the first layer, and the golden light was still shooting out from the center of the ground, but the space was much smaller, and there were many corpses and ashes on the ground around them.
They continued to explore, and found another stone staircase in the south of this second layer of space, and the two of them went down the stone staircase again, and found that the third layer was exactly the same as the first two layers, except for the ashes of the corpse, there was nothing, but the space was much smaller, and the stone staircase was still found in the east of the space.
......
All the way down to the sixth layer, except for the layer of corpse ashes under their feet, the two still didn't find anything, Chen Hao said: "This space is getting smaller and smaller, and it's getting closer and closer to this golden light, do you want to go down?"
"It turns out that this is a cave. ”
"yes, there's a lot of ash on the ground!"
"Oh no, this is the ashes of the corpse after it was burned!"
“......”
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of human voices overhead, and the two knew that the treasure seekers had entered.
Huang Yin said: "The others are coming down soon, we have to go down quickly!" Chen Hao nodded and said: "This is no longer the belly of the mountain, we don't know how many miles deep it is underground." ”
When they entered, they were on the mountainside, which was not high from the foot of the mountain, and then they went all the way down, and it was already much higher than the height of the mountain, and at this time it was indeed under the mountain.
The two hurried to the stone staircase in the southeast corner. They have found the pattern of stone stairs, and the stone stairs on each floor are according to the east, south, west, north, north, and southeast...... These directions are arranged in this space.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, something was hidden, he reached out and picked it up, and saw that it was a token, which was also scorched black, with the word "will" written on the front, and the word "moving" on the back, Chen Hao said on the side: "This should be a general's token, and this general should be in this pile of ashes." "It should be." He gave the token to Chen Hao and asked him to put it up.
The two continued to walk down the stone staircase......
Straight to the ninth floor, this floor is smaller, very close to the golden light in the center, the two of them are close to the surrounding walls, for fear that the golden light will be close to the illuminated soul.
The two of them looked intently, and saw that there was a black coffin in the golden light on the ninth floor, and the coffin board was opened, and the golden light shot out of the coffin.
Huang Yin said: "Brother Chen Dao, this ninth layer is the bottom, this entire cave is funnel-shaped, and the upper layer is bigger than the first layer. ”
Chen Hao nodded and admired: "Xing Daoyou is like a god, the big hole on the top of this mountain is indeed man-made, someone entered here and opened this coffin, and the golden light rushed out, burning the corpses of the nine layers into ashes!"
Huang Yin glanced at the top of his head and said, "Chen Daoyou, is there a way for you to get close to the coffin, the people above are coming down soon, and if it's too late, there will be no chance." ”
Chen Hao's expression suddenly looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I don't know if it's useful." He took out a large black cauldron from the bag of his arm, two feet in diameter, and even the thick soot left by cooking could be seen under the cauldron.
Huang Yin's face darkened when he saw it, and said, "This is obviously a big pot for your family's cooking, can this also be used?" Chen Hao said embarrassedly: "My grandfather said it can be used." ”
He heard the footsteps of the people above getting louder and louder, obviously the treasure hunter went down a few more floors, and hurriedly urged Chen Hao: "Try it quickly!"
Chen Hao picked up the black cauldron and threw it upside down towards the golden light.
The black cauldron instantly rushed into the golden light, and the two looked worriedly, but seeing that the black cauldron was not pierced by the golden light, Chen Hao was overjoyed and said: "Grandpa really didn't lie to me!"
The black cauldron became bigger and bigger in the golden light, and instantly covered the entire coffin, blocking all the golden light that shot out, and the entire cave suddenly became pitch black.
