Night fell again, and the birds quacked and flew over the treetops in groups of threes and twos. In the mountains behind the ancient family, three people stood in front of the deep tomb entrance with torches and waited.
"Master, let's go three times?" Ma Fuxiang asked.
This time, Wushuang only brought Lan Caidie and Ma Fuxiang, and even Ma Erye was sent by him to spy on Gu Yue.
Wushuang said: "We are touching gold, not Faqiu, and the inverted fight pays attention to the means, not the number of people." Besides, if no one looks at the Gu family, I'm afraid that Gu Yue's kid will stumble with me behind my back. He walked in with the two of them with a torch.
The entrance to this tomb has been hanging out for several days, and the air in the tomb is much fresher than it was when it came down a few days ago. There is nothing unusual in the front part, and there are still many strange paintings painted on the tomb tiles on both sides of the tomb, but perhaps because of the long-term contact with the air, the corrosion of the paintings is obvious, and it has long been blurry and difficult to identify.
They walked all the way without any trouble, until they reached the sloping drawbridge. Mercury is volatile, and some of the mercury in the deep valley under the drawbridge has been diluted and evaporated by the air. Looking back on the scene at that time, Wushuang is still afraid, if it was not dealt with in time that day, everyone could have died of mercury poison. /
A rope slopes down the wooden door that opens diagonally above and is set up in front of the drawbridge. Wushuang looked at it, the position they were standing now was about three meters high from the wooden gate above the opposite bank, and the length was twenty meters, he pulled the rope, the rope was a thick hemp rope, although it was a long time, but the handicraft level of the Khitan people had reached its peak in that era, and this hemp rope was enough to bear about one hundred and fifty catties.
Although the rope was strong, it was nearly a thousand years old, and if something happened, the three would have to fall into the mercury pit under the drawbridge. To be on the safe side, Wushuang brought a crossbow this time. A sharp steel drill was inserted in the front section of the crossbow gun, and a safety rope was tied to the end of the steel drill.
He aimed at a large tomb brick diagonally above the wooden door, and shot it out with a thud, the steel drill embedded accurately in the tomb brick.
"You two are waiting here, I'll go up and have a look. "Blue Butterfly is the most agile of the three, and she is lightweight, so she is the most suitable to take the lead.
Blue Butterfly tugged at the rope and stood on tiptoe, the beautiful silhouette cutting a graceful arc through the dark graveyard, and finally she climbed up to the wooden door at the top of the opposite bank.
"Caidie, you have a glow stick in your backpack, is it safe to see if it's safe behind you?" Wushuang reminded her. In this ancient tomb that has been silent for thousands of years, there may be some danger waiting for them in the tomb, and one will accidentally catch the road, carelessly.
Blue Butterfly unscrewed the glow stick, activated the chemicals in the glow stick and threw it into the dark area behind her, and suddenly, a ghostly light lit up at the entrance of the tomb. Lan Caidie glanced back, and didn't know what she saw, her body suddenly froze, and then walked a few steps behind the tomb, as if she was looking for something.
"Butterfly, what's wrong? What do you see?" shouted Mushuang.
Lan Caidie walked back to the wooden door, glanced behind her differently, and replied: "No, it's nothing, maybe I was dazzled just now, and it's normal." ”
Lan Caidie is cautious, if she hadn't found something abnormal just now, she wouldn't have reflected it like this, Wushuang was afraid that this girl was inexperienced, so she hurriedly rushed to Ma Fuxiang and swung up.
"Master, you can pay attention to it!"
Among the three, Wushuang has the worst light skills, and it can even be said that he can't do light skills, although he has practiced for two days since he was a child, but this kid is playful, and practicing light skills is a time-consuming and laborious job.
He looked up, ouch, a deep ditch of about twenty meters, if he couldn't grasp it steadily, he would fall down......
He swallowed, grabbed the rope and took a few steps back, then jumped out with his eyes closed in a sprint. After jumping out, he only heard the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, and he barely opened his eyelids to take a look, it seemed that he was thinking too simply. The blue butterfly will work lightly, and when the body ripples in front of the wooden door, it climbs up along the rope. But his balance ability is not as strong as hers, and his weight is heavier than others, so the inertia when swinging over is also much greater, and before he can react, the rope actually swings back again.
And as the inertia became lower and lower, the arc of his swing above the mercury ditch became smaller and smaller, and finally hung down in a straight line above the deep ditch, and he could not go up or down.
"Master, you really should lose weight!Why are you so stupid?" said Lan Caidie.
"I don't want to! You treat me as you? I won't work lightly. ”
"Master, you hold it firmly, but don't let go. Ma Fuxiang looked frightened.
Just as Wushuang used the strength of his waist pole to slowly climb up the rope, he suddenly felt as if there was a yin qi surging upwards in the mercury ditch.
"Caidie, drag me up, there's something down there!" Wushuang shouted anxiously.
Wushuang's body was now in the deep ditch under the suspension bridge, and it was dark and he couldn't see anything below, but he could feel that the coolness was being used upwards, approaching his side little by little.
Lan Caidie clenched the rope with both hands and dragged him upward, but Lan Caidie was a girl after all, and she didn't have any internal skills, so her strength was limited, and it would be troublesome to drag him, a hundred and forty pound old man, up from twenty meters down.
"Huh?" Wushuang was startled, only to feel a tingling sensation coming from under his heel, as if something was wrapping around his ankle and climbing up. And the thing was dragging him down, too. Its strength was much greater than that of the Blue Butterfly, and as soon as it was pulled by that thing, Wushuang's hand holding the rope began to slowly slide down.
"Butterfly!
Lan Caidie was already sweating profusely when she was tired. "Oh, I know, but ...... Can...... But I can't hold you, I told you to lose weight, but you didn't listen!"
"Forget it, hurry, let down another glow stick, hurry!" Wushuang shouted.
Lan Caidie didn't know what Wushuang was going to do, but since Wushuang had ordered it, he must have a reason, she let go of the rope and took out another glow stick from her backpack, activated it and threw it in the direction of Wushuang. A ghostly light slowly sank, and Wushuang's eyes were fixed on the glow stick that had fallen into the mercury pit, and he finally saw it clearly when the glow stick fell to his ankle
