8. Ancestral Grave (5)
The head twisted a few times, as if he was not sleeping very comfortably, and turned his neck. The pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info can be rotated with the head of the person, and the magnet slag on it falls downward. A large number of maggots suddenly poured out of the human head of the Heavenly Spirit Gary.
I yelled, turned around and crawled back desperately, "Old man, I was wrong. Your house is not a place to raise corpses, I think it is specially used to raise maggots. I'll bring you some when I go back, and stir-fry a plate is also a famous dish. ”
Brother Qiang yelled, and suddenly the surroundings became bright and bright, and as soon as I turned around, the dazzling light wanted to make my eyes hurt instantly, and my eyes were white. Brother Qiang actually used a flare again, and he was so bold that he actually stuffed the flare into the heavenly spirit cover of the human head.
The flares ignited flames that could be two or three feet high, billowing smoke rising upwards. I turned around and folded my hands as the brim of my hat to look back, and the smell of meat rose along with the thick smoke. This aroma is very peculiar, and if you close your eyes, it will taste better than the smell of grilled meat.
"Brother Qiang, you are roasting meat sprouts, this dish should be nutritious, serve a plate to the old man, take it back and let him drink. "The light was too strong, so I could only keep hiding backwards, babbling in my mouth and repeatedly scolding Brother Qiang for not saying a word in advance.
Although this flare is relatively long-lasting, it is only a short time, and when the light gradually dims, there are only a few flames left in the place where the human head is half-burning.
A pile of maggots had been burned to black charcoal, and only a few of them who had crawled out of the previous step were still writhing and struggling.
Brother Qiang stretched out his head to look at the waterhole below, and said to the old man, "How long does it take to get to the bottom with such a step, or you can go down with a rope, or simply jump into the water." Hey, old man, isn't your relative taking a bath? Why is it gone?"
I stretched out my head to see that the zongzi that was kicked down by Brother Qiang before had disappeared, and all I could see was the calm water surface like a mirror, without the slightest wave, "He was originally a zongzi, and it was normal to sleep enough." ”
I estimated the distance, at least more than 40 meters high, "Go down the wall, these two steps are frightening, and the three steps and one dumpling are really unbearable." ”
Brother Qiang didn't care what the old man meant, he threw up the rope and tied it. With a rope buckle pinned to his waist, he jumped down and disappeared into the darkness, and after a while, Brother Qiang shouted "Smart, come down." The Cong family is really rich. There is a dragon tower treasure hall underground. ”
I climbed down with the old man once, and when I got to the bottom, I saw the appearance of the Dragon Tower Treasure Hall that Brother Qiang said.
It is really magnificent, and the entire ground floor is completely surrounded by a circle of palaces carved from jade. Although the palace is not high, only three or four meters, but the crystal clear jade reflects the jewels, we are used to seeing mountains of gold in the gold pit, but in any case can not compare with the majestic atmosphere here.
The old man opened his mouth wide, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, "This is so beautiful." According to the ore vein excavation and carving, how much manpower and material resources are required. ”
"Old man, your family is too rich, if you take it out and sell it, it will be rich to rival the country. "I can't help but sigh that a person like me is simply a poor peasant of 80 generations.
Brother Qiang took two steps forward, "Let's go, go in and have a look." This time it can be regarded as an eye-opening with this old man. ”
The carving inside the jade building is more fine, and every thing and every piece of jade is finely polished. The flashlight shines like entering an igloo.
"The pattern here is not ordinary, according to the gossip of the Nine Palaces. We are now in the city of Law. The old man was cautious and cautious, and at this time he took out the compass and looked down, "Something is wrong, the magnetic field here is disturbed." ”
I looked up and said, "Someone doesn't want us in because they're afraid we'll find something." So all the way we came to the ground was full of magnet powder, and your compass is no better than a watch. ”
"Isn't this a bit of an attempt to cover up, this is also a deep pit, and we can deduce from the direction of the outside according to what direction we are, and I just want to see the compass more precisely. The old man shook his head, feeling that this method was too shoddy.
Brother Qiang touched the jade with his eyes shining on the side, and the hara in his mouth almost flowed to the ground. Once this person has a family, he begins to think about how to save some money for a good life. Brother Qiang rubbed the jade with the corner of his clothes, and pretended to appreciate it with a flashlight, "In the art of war, fiction is real, and reality is virtual." Maybe someone deliberately made this kind of thing to cover up and guide us somewhere. Since the old man came down, he has always regarded himself as a Cong family, and if it is an outsider, I am afraid it will not be so particular. Open a few coffins first. Only by making this mess can you get your attention. ”
Brother Qiang's words still have some truth, and I said, "Old man, in the past, when we met zongzi, we didn't chase after us like mad dogs." But the zongzi here in your house, it seems that they are deliberately avoiding us, the first zongzi you encountered was hidden in the corner to hide from you, you said that this zongzi was deliberately hiding and didn't want you to find out. ”
When I said this, it was like waking up the old man, "That's true, I've always felt that something was wrong, we met a group of zongzi, although they all knew me before they died, but that doesn't mean they don't attack me." ”
I said again, "Think about it, which zongzi took the initiative to find us, and it wasn't all the stupid people who Brother Qiang provoked." I turned my head to look at Brother Qiang, "What did you do to those zongzi, touching people's buttocks?"
Brother Qiang was stunned, a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to take advantage of the fact that you didn't find out, I secretly opened a coffin to see what was going on, and a group of people came out of it." ”
The location where we were indicated was a small cottage with a stone cave that led to the back of the palace. The old man pointed and said, "Let's go, go in and see the situation." ”
Turning around the stone cave, there is no longer a jade structure inside, and it seems that the ore veins outside are only a thin layer of four or five meters.
The stone cave is very large, with a diameter of at least thirty or forty meters, and it seems to be a karst cave inside, and the dome has not undergone any carving, which should be naturally formed. In the stone cave, there were several rows of figures sitting in rows as if they were worshipping the courtiers, and all of these figures were covered in white cloth. This image reminds me of a person, that person at first glance.
At the top of the cave, a person carved in jade sits on a jade bed. The whole sculpture looks a little fat, with big ears and a high forehead, just like the birthday star in a New Year's painting.
"Old man, this is your ancestor, how is it like a birthday star. I walked forward along the central axis curiously, and Brother Qiang grabbed me, "Smart, why don't you see what these things are below?"
Brother Qiang pointed a dagger at the people covered in white cloth, "How do I feel so much like that person." ”
The old man picked his chin and motioned for Brother Qiang to check. Brother Qiang stretched out his hand and pulled the white cloth back, without the slightest sound, but the white cloth was grabbed by Brother Qiang and pulled out of a hole. A human face appeared under the hole, with its mouth wide open, glaring at the eyes.
However, it was already shriveled and unpresentable, and his eyes were only cloudy, and a foul stench spread out with a strange aroma.
"It's been long enough, and the cloth has turned into powder. Brother Qiang picked a few times with the dagger, and easily drew a gap. A few pieces of white cloth floated to the ground and broke into small pieces in a strange way.
"Old man, I'm afraid this is not from your Cong family. I pointed to these corpses, the corpses were all sitting on a stone pier, and behind these corpses there were still many stone piers empty, "If it is the Cong family, you can understand a little bit of clues." ”
"Not necessarily. The old man walked over to the last corpse and gently ripped off the white cloth. There was no sign of decay in this white cloth. And the corpse under the white cloth unexpectedly maintained a fresh appearance, although it was also angry and smelled of incense, but it was certain that this corpse had not been dead for long.
"I guessed right. The old man looked at the appearance of the corpse, suddenly knelt down and thought about the corpse, and solemnly kowtowed, "This is the head of the Cong family, when did he pass away, I don't know." ”
"You're not a member of the Cong family, don't you know?" Brother Qiang joked, and suddenly felt that he had been stabbed in the sore spot of the old man, and smiled awkwardly, "I don't mean anything else, just kidding, don't take it seriously." Perhaps your family master feels that his time is short, and it is possible to come here to sit and relax. ”
I suddenly flashed lightning, and I had a strange guess, "Old man, do you think that person is the head of the Cong family, or the head of the Yu family." ”
Before, the Cong Yu family had been talking about how that person had hands and eyes, so that the Cong Yu family had to bow down. But there's too much to do here. If the two families are in good health, it is better to say, but since ancient times, they have been riddled with curses, and it is the golden seal provided by that person who brings the curse. People like Inverted Dou Faqiu are relatively light in life and death, and they are all a little bloody.
A person who can threaten the life and death of his family, a strange curse that threatens the whole family, how can he make the Cong Yu family obediently obey their orders. And every time it comes out at a critical time, how did the news come about.
Since that person has reappeared, why didn't he show up as soon as I got the golden seal, ask for the golden seal, and put it back to the tomb of Concubine Quan. Instead, we waited until we got out of the gold pit and came out before showing our faces.
The old man understood what I meant, and just shook his head, "The training we have received since childhood is to rob tombs, and the secrets of the Cong family are not involved at all, and I have never met that person, and even heard of his deeds relatively rarely." It's quite possible that you're talking about this kind of thing, but you can't jump to conclusions based on the white cloth corpses here. ”
Brother Qiang pointed to the jade carving on the top, "Who is that person, if it is your ancestor, why is it not a corpse, but a jade carving." Looking at it like this, it's rich, isn't the Cong family having good food?"
The old man walked over, looked around the jade carving for a while, and then touched the back of his head, "This person shouldn't be from the Cong family, no matter how you look at it, it's a birthday star." ”
