Chapter 69: A Locust Tree
In front of Su Yu, there was a magnificent iron gate more than 100 meters high.
The door was rusty and old.
Two thick iron cables stretched along the knocker into the unknown abyss behind them.
Su Yu sat in front of the door, holding his cheeks and staring at this behemoth.
How it looks like a prison door.
He had tried all kinds of methods, but the tininess of manpower was not enough to shake it.
After thinking about it, Su Yu decided that the iron gate was definitely not a product of the yang world, but no one would waste time and effort to make such a thing if they were touched with a little yang energy.
Su Yu was lying on his back, still couldn't help but wonder, what could such a huge door be closed?
There was a faint glimmer of light above his head, and Su Yu's eyes widened.
The light grew brighter and brighter, so that one could not open his eyes.
Su Yu covered his face with his hands, squinted his eyes slightly, and felt a warmth sprinkled on his body under the strong light.
Slowly moving his palms, the sunlight outside the window shone directly on his face, and the kettle on the stove was steaming.
It turned out to be a dream.
Su Yu turned over, his brain was still a little unconscious, and he felt a little confused.
"Brother, if you don't wake up, your sister-in-law will get married!" The little fat man showed a chubby face from outside the door, looking dejected.
Su Yu's voice was a little hoarse and said, "Wake up." ”
"Really awake?" The little fat man ran over in disbelief.
Seeing that Su Yu's eyes were a little dull, he stretched out three fingers and asked seriously, "How much is this?" ”
Su Yu slapped his hand away and asked, "Fatty, what time is it today?" ”
"On November 23rd, you slept for two whole days." The little fat man looked at him helplessly.
"November 23, so tonight after 12 o'clock is the first day of the winter month." Su Yu sat up and muttered.
"Get me something to eat."
"Properly dropped."
After eating and drinking, Su Yu also regained his spirit.
Su Tangxue must have been arrested by Qinghe, and now the tomb is bound to go.
Even if the little fat man now has a magic technique, Su Yu still doesn't have a bottom in his heart.
The strength shown by Qinghe is far beyond that of ordinary ghosts, otherwise he would not have been suppressed by people with a large tomb.
It's just that Su Yu, one of his paper doppelgangers, can't cope with it now, let alone enter someone's lair, where it must be even more dangerous.
But even so, the two did not delay any longer, and under the leadership of the little fat man, they found the col with ease.
At this time, the snow-covered valley was very clean and refreshing, and there were no strange paper figurines.
There were only traces of animals on the ground.
According to the direction that the old blind man once said, Su Yu's gaze has been wandering to the west of the mountain col.
The terrain is gentle, except for a raised cliff wall that separates the upward path.
The cliff is steep, and the wind and snow have not been able to hide its full view.
Su Yu's eyes were raised, there was a groove with an incision upwards above the cliff, and the hole was piled with snow, which was really difficult to find from below.
Su Yu patted the little fat man and stretched out his finger to point to the location of the hole.
Under the cliff, it belongs to the position of the wind outlet, and if you really open the mouth, I am afraid that it will pour a cool breeze into the stomach.
The little fat man immediately understood, and followed Su Yu to climb up from the path next to him.
Fortunately, the rope was prepared before coming, and the entrance of the cave was not far away, and Su Yu took the lead in sliding into it from above.
Although the entrance to the cave is small, the inside is very spacious, and a downward corridor will not feel crowded even if the two of them walk side by side.
There are no traces of artificial carving in the cave, except for a little light under the feet, the surroundings are very dark and quiet.
There is a very oppressive feeling when walking inside.
After walking for about a few minutes, the terrain beneath my feet became completely gentle.
"Suzi, the hole is so deep, eight or nine are not far from ten, this is it, right?" The little fat man asked aloud.
Su Yu has been silently calculating the distance since entering the cave, and said when he heard the words: "This is it, we have walked all the way to a distance of nearly two hundred meters, according to the direction, we should be located in the mountain at the moment, the downward passage is so long, it is definitely not a natural cave." ”
"And I didn't feel uncomfortable breathing here, and the people who built this place must have been well prepared."
"Ready? What is the preparation for building a tomb? The little fat man obviously didn't understand too much.
"In case the Qinghe Ghost King has the possibility of getting out of trouble, prepare for people like you and me, lest people suffocate to death from lack of oxygen before they go in."
"So, the people who built the tomb are in the same group as us?"
Su Yu nodded and said, "At present, it seems that he has the same purpose as us, but I don't know why he went to great lengths to suppress the Qinghe Ghost King a hundred years ago and chose not to get rid of him." If the strength of the Qinghe Ghost King a hundred years ago was so strong that it was impossible to kill, then why was he trapped here? ”
Su Yu casually took out a few transmission notes and handed them to him and said: "You can take these talismans with you, the terrain is deep, if you accidentally separate, it is better to keep in touch."
After walking a short distance, the cave suddenly opened up.
A square burial chamber is visible in the open view, and the burial chamber looks extraordinarily simple, with a floor-to-ceiling coffin in the center of the main chamber.
Unlike traditional tombs, the coffins are not made of strong, corrosion-resistant bronze, but from ordinary wood.
The coffin was not even painted with any lacquer, which was used as a wood embalm.
The same is true of the transepts on both sides, where there are no burial goods, and two coffins identical to the main chamber are placed.
The little fat man banged on the coffin in the main room, and at the end he leaned up and sniffed it.
The little fat man let out a surprised cry: "Suzi, come here." ”
"What's wrong?"
"You said that the Qinghe Ghost King has been suppressed here for hundreds of years, right? Even if there may be a discrepancy in this time, my master found out that there was a large tomb here a few decades ago, right? ”
Su Yu nodded and motioned for the little fat man to continue.
"Let's just talk about this coffin, Suzi, do you say it's possible that the wood won't rot at all for decades?" The little fat man questioned.
"And the tomb is cold and damp, and the coffin doesn't even smell moldy, but has a unique aroma of wood, which is a bit outrageous."
Su Yu gently wiped the lid of the coffin a few times with his hand, and twisted the dust in his hand, only a thin small layer.
"Since the entire cave has been ventilated, even if it doesn't become moldy, it's enough for decades to oxidize its surface." Su Yu patted the dust off his hands.
"That's the fucking hell, it's the first time I've seen this kind of strange thing." The little fat man sighed.
Su Yu took a flashlight and tried to see what was buried in the coffin along the gap, but the whole coffin was tightly sealed, and the coffin lid and the coffin as a whole were natural, not to mention what could be seen through the gap, even if it was a needle to get in.
Su Yu raised the flashlight and blew lightly on the lid of the coffin.
After the floating ash was blown away, Su Yu stood on the side and took a closer look, and soon found that the texture on the lid of the coffin seemed to be different from the front.
"Fatty, come over here and get a flashlight."
Su Yu handed him the flashlight and jumped up holding the coffin.
"Follow here." Su Yu pointed to a direction, lying on the coffin and observing carefully in the direction of the light.
Sure enough, the angle of the light saw things differently.
After a long time, Su Yu stood up, his eyes full of confusion.
The texture on the coffin depicts a locust tree.
