Chapter 63: Down to the Grave
After summing it up, Zhou Qing asked Li Heizi to prepare a torch for himself, and asked the villagers to cut a few long bamboo poles from the shore of the lake to the stone gate between the mountain walls.
"Daochang Zhou, will I go to the tomb with you?" Uncle Yao was also a little curious about the ancient tomb under the lake, and he had seen Zhou Qing's skills last night, so he wanted to follow the tomb to see it.
"The inside of the tomb is different from the outside, and I don't know what's going on inside this time, so I can't guarantee that you will be able to leave with your whole body. ”
The meaning of Zhou Qing's words was already very clear, Yao Boqi nodded silently after hearing this, and finally he stood by the lake and watched Zhou Qing step on the bamboo pole and walk into the stone gate on the lake wall.
Behind the door was a stone road on an oblique slope, Zhou Qing stood at the stone door and lit a torch, and then went into the road.
Above the end of the road was a stone room, entering the stone room, Zhou Qing glanced at it by the light of the fire, and found that there was nothing else in the room except for some porcelain vases and bowls with carved patterns, and a half-open stone door.
Walking out of the stone room with a torch, a corridor in front of the stone door appeared in Zhou Qing's eyes, he stood at the door and glanced left and right, without thinking too much, and went straight to the left side of the corridor.
After walking some distance to the left, there was a staircase that turned upward, and when Zhou Qing stepped up the stairs, he saw a shirt on the ground against the corner of the wall.
It was a coarse cloth garment, and it was clearly not the same fabric as the one he had worn last night and the three zombies he had encountered six years ago.
Zhou Qing was not surprised that someone had been to this tomb before, he had been thinking before that the dead body he saw by the bottle lake six years ago should be the person who had gone down to this ancient tomb.
At that time, the man must have met a zombie in the tomb, and when he fled, he led the zombie out of the tomb six years ago.
Therefore, Zhou Qing didn't pay much attention to the clothes that were abandoned on the ground at the moment, he just glanced at it, and then walked up the stairs with a torch.
On both sides of the stairs are carved earth walls with strange patterns, and after Zhou Qingzai looked at the patterns on the wall a few times, he found that the patterns were very messy, and he couldn't see the reason at all, so he didn't pay attention to the paintings on the walls.
Moved up the stairs, didn't take a few steps, a strange sound came into Zhou Qing's ears, he looked up and looked forward, and found that on the dirt wall next to the stairs, there was an evil spirit bound, and the strange sound he heard just now was made by this evil spirit.
I saw that this evil spirit was dismantled, completely covering its face, but between the black hair, two black hole eyes were exposed. The demon wore a long white dress and was bound to the earthen wall by a chain that shimmered white.
This is an evil spirit locked in an ancient tomb to guard the tomb, so most of these evil spirits are spirits with no thinking memory.
"Sister!"
Seeing the evil spirit tied to the earthen wall, Zhou Qing tried to call her to see if she would react.
As a result, the evil spirit just let out a sneer, and did not give Zhou Qing any reply, from this point of view, this evil spirit was a poor ghost who was taken out of the ghost spirit and trapped here to guard the tomb.
"I don't know how many years you've been trapped in this tomb, and I don't know if you still have a trace of memory, but your ghost has been stripped away, and it is impossible to be reincarnated, if you want to find a liberation, you can give me a signal, if you want to stay in this tomb, then I will naturally not touch you. ”
Zhou Qing's words came out, and the evil spirit in the sneering stopped suddenly, only to see her spirit body struggling forward, and let out a faint low whining sound at Zhou Qing.
"Sister is looking for relief?"
After opening his mouth to confirm a sentence, Zhou Qing saw that the evil spirit nodded again and again, and the low whining sound became a little faster.
"Well, I'll give you a liberation today. Zhou Qing took out Phantom Wushuang from his side, and with a movement of his mind, Phantom Wushuang condensed a long sword, which he held in his hand and stabbed into the evil spirit body.
"Woo~"
The evil spirit bound to the earthen wall let out a cry of relief, and then her spirit dissipated into a faint glow in the tomb.
After following the evil spirit's will to help her get free, Zhou Qing's curiosity about this ancient tomb became even stronger, which was not only a corpse tomb, but also a tomb keeper.
And from the time Zhou Qing went down to the tomb to the present, the scale of this ancient tomb is extremely large, and it is obvious that this tomb is very unusual.
After the evil spirit's spirit disappeared, Zhou Qing continued to walk up with a torch, and it didn't take long for him to come to a platform.
On the ground of this platform, there were also two coarse cloth shirts, which were obviously left here by the people who went down to the tomb before, in addition to these two coarse cloth shirts, Zhou Qing also saw three open doors.
The door that opened on the opposite side of the staircase was a corridor inside, and behind the doors on the left and right sides was a stone chamber, and in the two stone chambers, there was a faint light.
"That thing is a fluorescent. Seeing the faint light emanating from the stone room, Zhou Qing looked at the light source and saw the stone embedded in it on the top wall, emitting light.
Regarding the fluorite, Zhou Qing had seen it once before.
There is a rich man Xie in Jinling County, because something strange happened at home, so he asked Zhou Qing to help at that time, and in the house of the rich man, he saw the fluorite once.
The fluorite in the rich man's house is much smaller than the fluorite in the tomb now, but the shining light of the stone body is comparable.
However, at that time, Zhou Qing learned from the rich man Xie that his family's piece of fluorite was obtained by him for spending thirty taels of gold and finding a business partner.
Although the light of the stone is dim, but it can shine at night, it is also a treasure, if you can get a piece of this stone, then there is no need to prepare oil lamps and the like at home, if you want to rush the night road is also much more convenient.
Thinking of the benefits of the pearl stone, Zhou Qing was moved, he moved into the stone room on the left side, and saw a large coffin standing under the pearl stone, thinking that this must be the person who went down to the tomb before wanted to steal the top gem, so it was placed here.
Stretched out his hand and pushed the standing wooden coffin, the standing wooden coffin fell to the ground, Zhou Qing raised his feet and jumped, stood on the coffin, and then took out Phantom Wushuang, condensed a spear and stabbed directly at the top of the wall.
After Zhou Qing's tossing, the crystal stone that was the size of Moyo's fist on the top of the wall finally fell down and was grasped by him.
Although the light of the fluorite is not as bright as that of the torch, it is much more convenient than the torch.
Since the torch in his hand had not been extinguished, Zhou Qing put the stone into the Qiankun bag on his side first, and then glanced at the stone room with the torch, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he went to the stone room on the right.
In the stone chamber on the right, Zhou Qing found that except for the different positions of the coffins, everything else was exactly the same.
As for the fluorite in the stone chamber on the right, Zhou Qing didn't bother to take it down, because it was quite troublesome for him to take the fluorite just now, and one was enough.
