We didn't turn on the flashlight, so we went to the top of the mountain in the dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Brother Qiang searched around and came back, "I didn't see anyone, did you think we were sent by the king to patrol the mountain, and we were scared away." ”

The old man pointed to a stone pass at the bottom of the mountaintop, "The entrance is there, it's a natural patio." ”

The patio is not small, four or five meters wide, and three or four meters below is a stone face, and I don't see any holes or anything like that.

The old man ran behind a boulder a hundred meters away and tinkered for a while, and when he came back, he arranged for us to go down. I looked around, my eyelids kept jumping, as if something was going to happen, and I was always worried in my heart, "Old man, let's go down and let Cong Shuya watch the door above." We went in, and once someone blocked the entrance from above, it was really for the funeral. "The old man also agrees with me, after all, I saw someone on the top of this mountain just now, and arranged for Cong Shuya to nest behind a rock.

Getting down the stone pass is like jumping into a pond, and the water in it can be half a meter deep, "Old man, you said earlier, we brought waterproof equipment, and before we went in, we all became toads." ”

The old man tinkered in the crack of the stone on one side for a while, and then beckoned us to come over and push the stone together.

The stone was heavy, I estimate it could be more than half a ton, and the stone turned sideways to reveal a hole more than half a meter wide. I looked inside curiously, and it looked like a cave, with a radius of at least forty or fifty meters, which seemed very wide.

"That's when they put you in an iron coffin and were going to throw you in here?" I asked the old man, who just nodded and walked in first.

The area around the cave is like a corridor, completely cut out of the solid stone wall. In the middle of the cave is a deep pit with a diameter of more than 20 meters. I shone down with a flashlight, and I could vaguely see that there seemed to be a pool at the bottom.

"How do you go down? Jump, how deep the water is, shouldn't it become a meatloaf as soon as you throw it down?" "Brother Qiang, looking at the depth of this stone pit, is a little staggering" Such a big pit, how much jade had to be mined at that time, no wonder your Cong family is rich and exploiting the class. Brother Qiang's words were sour.

I'm okay, my ancestors are at least a prominent family in one county, and Brother Qiang is ordinary, and the ten generations are also from poor backgrounds. But in front of the old man, the two of us can be regarded as eight generations of poor peasants, how can we compare with a family engaged in the jade business.

"You're jealous? Look at the sour mouth you have. "The old man waved his hand" This jade business is not profitable, it is used every year, and the two Cong Yu families still get rich by inverting the bucket. Ancestors have been doing this for generations. ”

I stuck to the edge of the pit and wanted to look down, and the corridor by the pit went round and round until it reached the depths. It's like the body of a bug, section by section.

"Old man Ye, how many times have you been here, can you tell me how the Cong family carried the iron coffin in, and fished it directly?" The old man looked back at the stone cave and said, "The iron coffin was brought in from here, tied with a rope, and then hung on there." The old man pointed to a black mass on the dome, and I shone it with a flashlight, and found that it was a group of machines that resembled pulleys.

"After that, it has been drooping downward, and I don't know where it hangs, but there is a special person in charge of the specific operation. Most people don't even get a chance to look down. I didn't know what it was like down there. Finally, the extra rope was extended all the way out of the cave. This is what I feel most curious about, like I'm afraid that people won't know that there is a secret door here. ”

Brother Qiang is definitely a doer, he has already tied the rope to the stone pillar, beckoned at us, and signaled to carve it down.

"Old man Ye, where did you go down before?" "The third and fourth floors, the first two floors are nothing special, the coffins on the third floor are starting to get old, and my map was found on the fourth floor." ”

"Then let's start on the fourth floor and look down. I nodded to Brother Qiang, and Brother Qiang hung down first.

The old man was about to go down, and I asked, "If we want to find out what's strange in this ancestral tomb, we'd better open the coffin and see, after all, the valuable things are still in the coffin." ”

The old man nodded, "But there are three chapters of the Offer Law, the first must not touch the device, the second must not blaspheme the ancestors, and the third must be restored to the original state." ”

"Look at what you think of us, we won't take your things yet. I laughed twice, Brother Qiang had already gone down to the fourth floor, shining a flashlight back and forth, constantly urging us.

The fourth level is no different from the top, with a corridor around the crater. There is a circle of stone caves on the wall of the corridor, and most of the stone caves have a coffin. Some are iron coffins, some are black stone coffins. In front of the coffin was a one-foot-high spiritual seat.

The old man pointed to the black stone coffin and said, "These are all magnetic coffins, we haven't opened them to see, why don't we open them and take a look?"

I looked at the old man strangely and asked, "You don't have any names on your ancestors?"

There are only two characters written on these spiritual seats, and although they are different, they are all stems of heaven and earth.

"I don't know the specifics, the last time I came in, everyone had some speculation, but no one could say why the tablets were written like this. The old man touched the dust twice, and the tablet in front of us was engraved with the word Wu Chou.

I rubbed the soles of my feet, which looked heavy and wet because of the water in my shoes before. But there was a layer of black powder on the stone surface under his feet, and it was even heavier when it stuck to his feet, "What are these things? ”

The old man squatted down and twisted a little and put it under his nose to smell, "Magnet powder, this thing is not poisonous, but this mine is a pit that produces jade, how can these things appear." ”

"Didn't you notice it before?" the old man shook his head, "I didn't have these things last time, could it be that I just sprinkled them?" ”

"It seems that there have been people here in the past few days, and your ancestral grave has become a living room. "Brother Qiang is going to drag a wooden coffin on the side" This thing can't be opened in the hole, drag him out first, look at the remains twice and then stuff it back. ”

But Brother Qiang broke it hard, and actually ripped off a wooden board from the coffin. The old man said angrily, "Are we here to fight? ”

Brother Qiang sneered, and used a flashlight to shine inward from the mouth that was pulled out, "Smart, this is not a person." ”

"Of course not people. "I didn't take Brother Qiang seriously, Brother Qiang stared at it with his head tilted, but the angle was not good, after all, it was just a small hole the size of a fist" There was a guard lying inside. ”

When I heard this, I suddenly came to my senses, and stepped back to Brother Qiang aside. Only half of the coffin could be seen, but there was only a shriveled dragon tail inside. The scales on the dragon's tail have yellowed and decayed, and they are softly bent inside.

"Old man, can a curse make people grow tails?" I really wanted to tear open the wooden coffin and take a look, but because of the old man's face, I couldn't really do it.

The old man leaned over, "It's really a guard, the person it parasitized has all been melted away, and only a tail remains." ”

"This virus is too powerful, there was a jelly brother in the tomb of Concubine Quan before, and it seems that he was infected with this strange virus. "I take it for granted that this kind of thing is a virus, and I really can't think of a more plausible explanation than that.

Brother Qiang gently broke the coffin, wanting to put his hand in and touch it, but the hole was too small, even if his hand could reach in, his thick arm would not work, "Let's open it and take a look, your ancestors have already flown away in a bubble of urine, so why bother with this broken coffin." ”

The old man hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded. As if he had received the holy decree, Brother Qiang immediately tore it with his hands, and took off a large piece of wood that had already rotted and decayed.

Brother Qiang stretched out his finger and pressed it, "It's not very hard, it's bacon." ”

I drew my dagger and scratched the scales, leaving a white mark and the dragon's tail unscathed. I was speechless, "What kind of material is this, body armor?"

The old man came over and stabbed the dagger hard, and the dagger only stabbed in about an inch, and turned out a long gap in the back.

", old man, how can it be maggots. "I took a step back, and the most disgusting thing about me was these maggots.

Brother Qiang shook his hand, flipped over and looked at it repeatedly, for fear that he would reach out and touch any of the dexterous ones that crawled on his body just now.

The old man flicked twice with the tip of his knife, and these maggots had lost their moisture, and they were all very shriveled, like a pile of rice bran, "Clever, something is wrong, he can't have been eaten by maggots, but it was originally made up of these things." ”

I rarely hear the old man shouting, a person's life experience and experience have become sophisticated, some amazing things have long been strange, but the old man stared at the gap tightly, and stabbed in with a dagger.

With the movement of his hand, a clump of maggots was turned out, and the entire thick dragon tail did not even have half a bone, and it was all stuffed with these maggots.

I covered my mouth and felt very sick to my stomach, "You mean Wei is not a simple life, but a collective formed by so many bugs. It's like a swarm of ants, and a guard is an ant nest, what does that mean?"

The old man sat down on the ground, "What the hell are we looking for? These things are just taken to the laboratory for study, and I'm afraid there will be no results when I close my eyes." ”

The old man's expression was a little lonely, and he seemed to be muttering to us, "Are we for the curse on our body? For the so-called people who care, I'm afraid I won't fight again and again, and Yu Tianyi is also safe now, we are all safe, but we will die sooner or later. ”

I sat down next to him, and I thought about this question many times, but every time I told me to fight, I still didn't blink my eyes and immediately left. I didn't have a positive answer myself, Brother Qiang looked at the maggot on the side, turned around and said, "Actually, I said this a long time ago, when the bear paw died, I said that I didn't want to fight, but I was smart and didn't listen." ”

Brother Qiang snorted and kicked me with his toes, "You're not for others, you're for yourself." Is it you who want to find the answer to the curse, do you think you can find it? The Cong Yu family has no clue for so many years, and the Xu family is the same, as well as the gang of guys who eat zongzi in the golden pit. How many people have died underground for the truth, but why do we have to pounce on it? ”
