10. Ancestral Grave (7)

I struggled to my feet and shone my flashlight into the pit. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info flood shot out, like a pile of, countless maggots rolled wildly, and accompanied by a foul smell, almost choking people's eyes.

"Sure enough, I didn't expect it to be exactly what I thought. The old man was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to show me, "Do you see how far can maggots be from the top now? ”

I was choked by the water, and then I realized that the maggots were not only not rising in the deep pit, but gradually sinking. It seems that there is a flood outlet under the pit, and the water washes away the maggots.

I patted the old man on the shoulder, "It's very good, the Cong family is really capable, and there were flush toilets at that time." ”

"What kind of mechanism is this?" Brother Qiang leaned over and asked, and the old man turned around and pointed to the way outside, saying, "If the place we came in is not open, then we can only go down from here." ”

"What are you talking about? From this point on, isn't this brain burned out and jumping into the pit?" I hurriedly waved my hand when I heard this, this kind of proposal was simply too exciting.

The old man said in a deep voice, "I am a tomb robber, where there is danger is the right way, if you are willing to stay here and wait for death, then you can do whatever you want." ”

Brother Qiang could only run around to see if the jade was still there. Before Brother Qiang came closer, he walked backwards dejectedly. As soon as I saw him like this, I knew it must be a dead end.

There was still a foul smell from the bottom of the pit, but the water was gradually slowing down, and the old man kept staring down, so I asked the old man where the water came from. The old man pointed outside, "Don't you remember there's a waterhole outside? It was made into a water tank, and it was used to open the mechanism here. ”

I was originally a contractor, and this principle is not difficult to understand, but it is not easy to do so finely that there is still no trace of water leakage after so many years.

Look at the maggots below gradually sinking with the red water, I can't tell what it feels like in my heart, I have an inexplicable fear of the deep pit, for fear that after going down, I will be bitten by maggots like that corpse, "Do you want to find another way, do you really have to go down from here?"

The old man nodded, and simply sat aside and closed his eyes to recuperate. Brother Qiang's name is really not in vain, his eyes looked at the bottom of the pit without blinking, and not long after, Brother Qiang said to me, "The maggots are gone, and the water is much smaller, maybe the waterhole outside is empty." ”

The old man opened his eyes, tightened his clothes, and then tied the rope to the stone on the side, "Prepare to go, I brought some water this time outside, and I didn't even bring a pack of compressed biscuits, at this time it was already dawn, and I missed breakfast again." ”

I looked at the pit, and the light was shining brightly on it. The contrast with the surrounding darkness is extremely striking. I gritted my teeth, tied the rope buckle around my body, and motioned for Brother Qiang to go down first. Although this guy is reckless, he is fortunate to be bold, and he can play with a pot of maggots for a long time.

It may be that after too many years, there are no traces of artificial excavation in this deep pit, and you still see a lot of maggots still struggling in some stone crevices. I was just about to put my hand on the stone when a maggot hurriedly retracted and scolded, "Old man, the depths of this toilet can't be a septic tank." ”

I rubbed my nose, hoping that I didn't have a sense of smell now, and that the smell in this pit was not as good as that of a latrine. I poured a piece of cloth over my nose and scolded indistinctly.

Originally, I expected that I would have to walk a long way at least under this deep pit, but it didn't take long for the deep pit to start slowly rising, "Old man, this terrain is not right." Where did all that water go before?"

Brother Qiang turned around and smiled, "Septic tank, are you still smart?" It's a good job to do without drawings. ”

The old man stomped his feet "all flowed through the cracks in the stones, and the design was painstakingly designed here, but I don't know why." ”

Brother Qiang has come to the end, and looking up, we are at the bottom of the pit. I looked up, and the position we are now in is the toad at the bottom of the well, and the sky I see is as big as the mouth of the well, but on the top is the picture of the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

"Good boy, are we fighting?" The old man touched his head curiously, and Brother Qiang tried the width of the pit, and climbed up a little bit with his hands.

Brother Qiang climbed to the top, first used a flashlight to shine around, and then scolded for a long time and rolled up. For a long time, I think it's been a long time, and Brother Qiang has not moved on it.

I panicked and called out to him, but a pale face appeared on the mouth of the deep pit. I was startled, and just wanted to shout but found that this face was Cong Shuya's, "Scared me to death, I thought there was a female ghost on it." Why are you so white? ”

I thought to myself, thinking that women are trouble, do I have to wear some sunscreen in the next bucket?

Brother Qiang smirked and hung a rope from it, and after we went up, Cong Shuya told us what we had seen on the top of the mountain.

Just after we came down, it was pitch black outside, and there was no moonlight, and Cong Shuya hid behind the stones and watched. But at two or three o'clock in the second half of the night, Cong Shuya found a few flashlights under the mountain. I thought it was people from the neighborhood passing by, but I didn't expect these people to go straight to the top of the mountain.

The ancestral tombs of the Cong Yu family are not together, but divided into two jade pits. These people searched nearby, and then cautiously entered the ancestral tomb of the Yu family.

Cong Shuya was curious, so she looked over to see it. At this glance, he was surprised to find that these people were carrying a heavy iron coffin.

I asked the old man curiously, "Cong Yu's funeral is the second half of the night?"

The old man shook his head, "No, I usually go out in the morning and send the iron coffin into the ancestral grave in the afternoon." ”

I asked Cong Shuya to continue, gesturing with both hands to the appearance of those people, and these people carrying the iron coffin all said Dressed in white clothes and white coats, not only the eyes of the upper and lower faces of the body were exposed.

Cong Shuya saw that everyone had entered, so the cat followed behind. After the men hung the iron coffin, everyone climbed the rope and descended to the bottom of the stone pit.

"Are you saying this is the ancestral tomb of the Yu family?" I don't think it's right, Cong Shuya obviously entered the ancestral tomb of the Yu family, how could he meet us, I turned around and looked at the pit behind me, could it be that this pit was specially designed to connect the ancestral tombs of the two families?

Cong Shuya nodded, "I still want to know if you didn't go to the ancestral tomb of the Cong family? Why are you here, are you ......?"

The old man also looked back twice, "I have never been here before under the ancestral grave, and the others don't know the situation below." It seems that this secret passage was specially designed to connect the two ancestral tombs that could be excavated. ”

The old man motioned to Cong Shuya to continue, and asked Cong Shuya why he came down to the bottom.

Cong Shuya followed behind them, but she didn't dare to turn on the flashlight to look, she could only see where the other party had gone through the weak flashlight of the other party.

Several people dragged the iron coffin into one of the layers, and after a while, they turned around and walked backwards.

Cong Shuya was afraid of being discovered, so she could only hide in a corner. But after a long time these people still did not appear, he was curious, and the cat came out to see where these people went.

A few people whispered something around the pool at the bottom of the pit, and suddenly the pit trembled, and the small pool formed eight or nine whirlpools, and the pool water quickly converged towards the whirlpool, and it only took about a quarter of an hour for all the water in the pool to run.

Underneath the waterhole was a sand table, which Cong Shuya described as if it was the one drawn on the map.

Cong Shuya nodded, then shook her head again, "It's very similar, but this is not a sand table." I didn't see it very clearly above, it should be a swarm of bugs. ”

Cong Shuya patted her chest, and said that it was too terrifying, "Those people circled around the waterhole a few times, and then they put ropes around them and hung them on top of the waterhole alone. It was supposed to be something to be taken out of the center of the waterhole. ”

"That's when I found out there were bugs in the pool. As soon as the man put his hand in, the bugs bulged high like a pile of sand. The man fell into the pool, and it only took a dozen seconds for the man to be left with only a skeleton. ”

"Damn, this is a man-eating maggot?" I think the insects described by Cong Shuya should be maggots, and there should be a lot of them in the ancestral graves of the Cong Yu family.

The other few people in white were very strange, and if they died, they should at least shout a few words of pain, but these people laughed and chatted softly on the side. It was too far away for Cong Shuya to hear what they were talking about, but when the man became a skeleton and the worm climbed down from the skeleton, another person climbed up the rope and took a box from the pool.

Cong Shuya wanted to wait for them to open it and see what was in the box, but at this time, zongzi appeared behind Cong Shuya, and Cong Shuya had to find a place to hide these things. When Cong Shuya threw off the zongzi, those people had already left.

Cong Shuya climbed all the way to the bottom of the Yu family's ancestral tomb and didn't find those people, and when she felt strange, she found a jade palace. Driven by curiosity, I walked in, but I didn't expect to run into us as soon as I came in.

"Looks like there's something important in that red box. The old man muttered to himself, turned his head and asked Cong Shuya, "You don't know these people?"

Cong Shuya shook her head and said that she didn't see the looks of these people at all, and the rest was just a skeleton, and even the clothes were eaten by insects.

"I think the place on the map that they took away has a lot to do with that place. It's not good to say that this time the next bucket can be encountered. Brother Qiang gritted his teeth: "I have to skin these people if I catch them." Alas, I don't know how Emperor Wu is now. ”

I patted Brother Qiang on the shoulder to reassure him and motioned for the old man to leave here.

The way out of the jade palace is extremely smooth, and the structure here is the same as that of the ancestral tomb of the Congjia. The four of us drove to the top floor.

"These people know we're here, and they can keep the door open for us. "When we reached the entrance of the ancestral tomb of the Yu family, we found that the hole that should have been covered with stones was wide open.

"Interesting, let's go around the mountains and take a look at what they want, and I want to know what these rabbits are trying to do. The old man chuckled twice and walked out of the hole.
