44 Holes in the earth
You must know that everyone entered the front hall under the leadership of the ink remnant, and the old man of Qingzhu clearly came in with everyone at that time; when everyone watched the mural, the old man of Qingzhu also reminded him that the mural clearly painted those black-robed people, but after the ink remnant Kong extinguished all the torches, everyone no longer felt the existence of the old man of Qingzhu. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this moment, seeing the old man Qingzhu actually appeared from outside the stone room, and said what "I have been waiting outside the house", Xie Yixiang thought for a while, and suddenly laughed dumbly, diluting the grief and anger when he saw Hai Yisu seriously injured.
It turned out that when the mechanism in this front hall was activated, whether it was the hallucinogenic drug in the mural or the strange laughter of the woman, the safest place was naturally to leave the stone chamber of the front hall and return to the previous tomb, and the two stone doors of the front hall had not been closed since everyone entered, and it was of course extremely easy to exit.
It's a pity that in such a thrilling situation at that time, people with slightly weaker concentration have been disturbed by drugs and strange laughter, even Xie Yixiang has not been spared, and Lu Santong, Mo Xuankong and others, who are slightly stronger, are also a little panicked, coupled with the darkness in front of them, no one still thought of this.
Therefore, the appearance of the old man Qingzhu at this moment is clearly that he has used the best of the thirty-six plans when the organ is launched, and he has fled straight back to the tomb; at the same time, he also took Mayor Wu and Jin Zhutou out together, but he was worried that these two guys would encounter an accident in the front hall, thus cutting off important clues.
At that moment, Lu Santong and Mo Wankong immediately glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but show a wry smile on their faces, and Mo Wankong even said: "Teacher Qingzhu is really wise, but it's just ...... But since you have already figured out a way to leave the front hall, why didn't you call us? ”
The old man Qingzhu immediately "hummed" twice, and quibbled to himself: "Why are you leaving?" I have never come in...... I have heard the laughter of ghosts in this stone chamber, and I have called out to you several times, telling you to retreat into the tomb and take refuge...... but you yourselves do not hear. ”
Nalu Santong didn't want to continue to entangle this matter with the old man Qingzhu, so he immediately took the topic away and asked, "Teacher Qingzhu, do you know who hurt the chief of the sea path?" The old man Qingzhu knocked out the dry smoke on the ground, shook his head, and said, "I have heard your words outside the stone room...... The palm that injured the cow's nose was so strong, naturally I didn't do it...... As for who actually injured the bull's nose, I don't know. ”
As a result, everyone still failed to find the murderer who seriously injured Hai Yimi, and for a while, everyone present looked at me and me, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in their hearts. Lu Santong was worried that everyone would be suspicious because of this, and hurriedly said: "As Teacher Qingzhu said, we can't see anything in the dark, and with the strange laughter from the black round pipe, the situation can be described as extremely chaotic. Even when Teacher Qingzhu took Mayor Wu and Jin Zhutou away from the front hall, we didn't notice it in the dark. Based on this, it is not impossible to speculate that if a foreign enemy takes the opportunity to sneak in and then poison the chief of Kaido. ”
But I heard the old man Qingzhu say in a strange voice: "You old zombie, you still don't understand what you say, when did I escape from this stone room? I haven't been in at all since the beginning...... Forget it, I don't care about you...... If you want to say that the person who is qualified to plot against the bull's nose, in fact, in addition to the few people we are here, there is actually one person, how can you forget?" Everyone didn't understand what the old man Qingzhu was referring to for a while, Qu Baoshu groaned slightly, and immediately asked, "You mean Dai Laoqi?"
Xie Yixiang heard Dai Qi's name, and then remembered that there was Dai Qi who was one step ahead of everyone. Now everyone didn't see Dai Qi in this front hall, thinking that he went straight through the stone room of this front hall, because he didn't stop to look at the murals on the wall, so he didn't touch the mechanism here. But if it is said that Dai Qi hid in the dark just now, and then seriously injured Hai Yisu, Xie Yixiang couldn't find a motive because of reason, and refused to believe anything.
So who seriously injured Hai Yisu, even Mo Yukong didn't have a clue at this time. Of course, she understood what Lu Santong meant, and since she couldn't find the murderer, she had to fool the matter over, so as not to affect the rest of the trip. Seeing that the conversation between the old man Qingzhu and Qu Baoshu was about to arouse everyone's suspicions, Mo Zhikong immediately said: "Before we went down to the tomb, we heard a roar from the side cave, and I don't know if it was a human or an animal who made this sound. Therefore, in this Han tomb at the moment, there may not be no others, and if you go further, everyone needs to be more careful. ”
Mo Xuankong's words can be said to be of a very high level, and even Xie Yixiang suddenly realized, remembering the roar that came from the side cave before, which naturally shows that there are already enemies hidden in this Han tomb now. At that moment, everyone was no longer suspicious, and hurriedly sorted out the inventory and prepared to continue the journey.
After this battle, two of Lu Santong's subordinates were killed on the spot, Hai Yisu and two Mo disciples were seriously injured, and the rest were only a few minor injuries, but they didn't matter. As for the sarcophagus that fell from the roof of the front hall, most of them were parked the corpses of the witches who designed this Han tomb, but firstly, everyone had suffered from the organs in the front hall, and they were afraid that opening the coffin rashly would touch other organs; secondly, the purpose of this trip was to find the mysterious family on the shore of Poyang Lake, and the secret of 'immortality' in it, so according to the murals on both sides of the front hall, it had nothing to do with this witch, and she couldn't open her sarcophagus.
When everyone was ready, the ink remnant couldn't help but salute the hanging sarcophagus, which could be regarded as a tribute to this opponent who was separated by thousands of people. Everyone then pushed open the two stone doors behind the main hall, only to see that behind the stone gate was still a tomb of the same size, compared with the previous section of the tomb road, it seemed a little rough, and it was clearly built in a hurry.
After walking a few steps through the main hall, everyone re-lit the torches, and the entire tomb was illuminated in a bright light. Naqu Baoshu also put his own illumination orb into his arms, and bent down to carry Hai Yisu on his shoulder, and as for the mayor of Nawu and Jin Zhutou, they were handed over to the old man Qingzhu to take care of. And Mo Xuankong smelled that the fishy smell in the tomb was getting stronger and stronger, and he was worried that he would encounter those eyeless little red snakes in the back, so he immediately lit the "insect god incense" of the Mo family again, and walked at the front of the line with incense in hand.
There were no twists and turns along the way, and occasionally encountered a few small red snakes, and because they were afraid of the "insect god incense" in the ink remnants, they quickly fled and disappeared into the darkness. After about a meal, the crowd had apparently reached the end of the tomb by the light of torches. But I saw that the road under my feet, which was originally paved with large bluestones, collapsed here, forming a boxy hole, just like this originally horizontally oriented tomb road, which was suddenly broken vertically here, and became a downward extension.
Mo Xuankong and the four disciples of the Mo family raised the torches in their hands one after another, reflecting into the cave that had collapsed, but they couldn't see how deep it was, only smelling a large damp fishy smell coming from the cave. Obviously, the smell of fishy smell in the entire Han tomb came from the cave in front of you.
When Lu Santong's men threw a torch into the cave, the light of the fire became smaller and smaller, and finally it was drowned out by darkness, and after a long time, there was still no sound of the torch falling to the ground, it seems that the depth of this hole is really beyond everyone's imagination.
Could it be that after that, he would have to walk along the broken part of the tomb road to this cave? Xie Yixiang just had this idea, but saw that everyone didn't care about the hole in front of them, but stared ahead together. She hurriedly looked by the firelight, and saw that on the opposite side of this cave, about three zhang away, on the stone wall, two stone doors of a height of several feet were faintly exposed, but they did not close, revealing a gap a few feet wide in the middle, and the gap was dark, and it was impossible to see the appearance behind the stone door.
Although Xie Yixiang didn't know the layout of the Han tomb, the appearance in front of him expected that behind the two stone doors on the stone wall opposite the cave, most of them were the main room where the coffin of the tomb owner was parked as everyone said. Xie Yixiang's heart moved, and she couldn't help but be a little shocked, recalling the last mural she had seen in the stone room of the front hall before, the tomb passage, the cave in the ground and the main room, weren't they exactly the scene in front of her?
And on the last mural, there is clearly a dragon head poking out of this hole, and I don't know what it is. But right now, this hole in the ground is empty, except for the smell of a large fishy smell, where is there any faucet?
