However, Sister Meng didn't seem to be afraid of this poisonous straw sandal sole. She broke away from my hand with some boredom and said, "It's okay!"
I turned on the flashlight and shined it on Yan Sheng. After the commotion just now, the soles of the straw sandals had long since disappeared. Sister Meng seemed to want to catch the bug, so I helped her find it.
Fatty Yu asked: "I said, why are you looking for that poisonous insect?"
"If you want to help me look for him, then look for me. If I don't want to look for him, I'll go away." I was also very anxious. Although Sister Meng didn't say why she wanted to use the straw sandal soles, she always felt that she could save Yan Sheng, so she started looking for her without saying a word.
Seeing that I was so serious, Fatty Yu also lowered his head to look for me and said, "Hey, is it okay to die?"
Sister Meng said anxiously: "No! There is a unique venom on the head of the straw sandal sole. Once the head is stepped on, the venom will be gone. Then Yan Sheng will be in trouble."
Fatty Yu paused for a moment and said, "So this thing can save lives? Then I have to search hard to see if there are many. Maybe I will be able to use it, Fatty!"
I listened to his chatter over there and said impatiently: "Fat man, you are thinking very far. Don't worry, if you are talking nonsense, I will definitely put you in there after you die."
Huai Rujin on the side looked at them looking for something on the ground and asked, "Li Rui, what are you looking for?"
"Straw soles!"
"You probably won't find it if you search like this. I have a solution."
"Oh?" As he said that, Huai Rujin took out a small metal box from his pocket. I recognized it at a glance, "Isn't this the snuff bottle?"
Huai Rujin opened the snuff bottle, laid it horizontally on the ground, and asked everyone to disperse. Everyone held their breath for a while, and sure enough, the sole of the straw shoe climbed into the snuff bottle by itself. With quick eyesight and quick hands, I immediately closed the snuff bottle and said happily: "This is really a good strategy, but it's a pity that you have such a good snuff bottle."
Huai Rujin smiled and said, "We are friends, so helping a friend with a snuff bottle is nothing!"
"Miss Huai is generous!" I quickly handed the snuff bottle to Sister Meng.
But while everyone was immersed in joy, we all ignored the greater danger that was quietly approaching.
"Great!" Sister Meng laughed happily, but then her face turned serious, "Is this... insect fragrance?"
Huai Rujin looked at Sister Meng in surprise and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Sister Meng even knows the fragrance of insects. I really admire her."
"Oops!" Sister Meng's face changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "The fragrance of insects is a strange fragrance, and hundreds of insects flock to it. Once it is opened, it will easily attract other insects."
As I said that, my heart skipped a beat, and there was already a creepy crawling sound in my ears. Huai Rujin was even more shocked after hearing this. She looked at me in surprise and didn't know what to do.
"Run!" I shouted, "Don't be stunned!"
I just felt like there were countless feet crawling in my ears. In the darkness, a pitch-black mass was coming towards us. The sound was getting louder and louder, so I ran away quickly. We ran for about ten minutes, and when we stopped, we couldn't tell where we were. Dao Zi was also panting heavily. He was carrying Yan Sheng as he ran all the way, which was naturally not easy.
Huai Rujin looked back and saw that nothing was catching up behind him, but Lord Gui's expression was still serious. He closed his eyes and seemed to be listening to something. We didn't dare to say anything. Suddenly, Lord Guihou raised his hand, and everyone looked in the direction of his hand. With a "swish" sound, another sleeve arrow flew out and shot straight towards the wall.
I took a closer look and found that the head of a pair of straw sandals was nailed to the wall by an arrow from Lord Guihou. Why are you running?"
Fatty Yu was also stunned by Gui Houye's miraculous Kung Fu. He ran over with a smile and said, "Master Gu, how did you master this Kung Fu of walking through a tree with a hundred steps? It's so damn amazing. If you go Participate in some talent show and be sure to charm thousands of girls."
"Go, go, go." I quickly pulled him away and said to Mr. Gu: "Master Gu, we have two wounded people now. The situation is not good. I think it's not too late and we have to find the main coffin room quickly. Get out after completing your mission.”
"Li Rui is right, Master Gu, we really need to tighten our grip." Huai Rujin also said.
"Okay, in that case, let's set off now." Lord Ghost ordered. "Yansheng and Xixi will be taken care of by me and Fatty. Sister Meng will cooperate with Daozi to explore the way in front, and our two teams will merge into one."
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud "bang" and the ground shook violently. Everyone immediately fell to the ground. Suddenly a large amount of dust rose up from the tomb, and their heads were covered with debris. Although the vibration was not very destructive, the sound was so loud that it made my ears ring and I couldn't hear anything clearly for a while.
I couldn't believe my eyes, "Master Gu, the ground in front has collapsed!" I turned to look at Gui Houye and Huai Rujin. They were also surprised. Everything happened without any warning.
Fatty Yu got up from the ground in disgrace and cursed: "What a damn unlucky thing. An earthquake happened while you were fighting?"
The Ghost Lord glanced at me, patted the dust on his body, and said, "It's not an earthquake. What we just walked through was actually the periphery of the tomb. This is the real entrance to the ancient tomb."
"Why did this door open by itself?" Daozi asked.
"It probably uses the principle of gravity induction. As soon as someone comes, the ground will collapse. This kind of mechanism has been designed for too long. It relies on the principle of leverage and is difficult to be accurate. Fortunately, there are many of us and the lever arm is relatively short, but Gravity was enough, so the mechanism started early."
Fatty Yu had admired Lord Gui very much since he showed off his unique skills, and he immediately flattered him and said, "Master Gu is right, fighting in reverse is a delicate job. The key is to be brave and resourceful, otherwise someone like me will become a direct winner." Buried with him."
"You fat guy, when did you become self-aware?" I teased.
"Don't say a few words, we are on our way." Lord Gui rolled his eyes at me, "You two are carrying the wounded, and if something happens to them, Lord Gu will never let you off lightly."
I carried Sissi on my back, thinking that now I was reduced to a logistics worker taking care of the wounded. I couldn't express my feelings for a moment, so I had to take a deep breath and sighed: "Fat man, stop standing there stupidly, carry it."
At this time, Huairu Jin came up and patted me on the shoulder. I thought she was going to say some words of encouragement, but unexpectedly she didn't say anything. At this time, it was better not to speak, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. However, I still appreciated it and nodded, saying nothing. After all, Huai Rujin's limelight was completely overshadowed by the Ghost Marquis.
We walked towards the sunken pit, taking very cautious steps, fearing that another collapse would occur suddenly. Only Guihouye and Daozi were calm and not worried at all. In fact, there is indeed no danger of another collapse. After all, this is an entrance, not a formal institution.
Daozi and Sister Meng walked to the entrance and looked down with a flashlight. The pit was sunk as a whole. No wonder the sound was so loud. The sunken ground became a slope below and extended into the entrance of the tomb.
There is a cold wind blowing out of the tomb passage. Even if the tomb has a vent, it is still impossible to blow out the wind. However, there must be something in this weird tomb, and it is not surprising that there is a dark wind blowing out.
There were also a few straw sandal soles in the tomb passage, but they were all taken away by the knife and Sister Meng in front of them. Some even had their heads removed, which was obviously intentional by Sister Meng.
The entire ancient tomb is still very simple as usual, and it looks like an unfinished project, with only a rough outline.
"Master Gu, does it look like this place hasn't been built yet?" Fatty Yu muttered.
"It's not that it wasn't built. I think it was done on purpose so that you could give up the idea as soon as possible."
"If this is the case, my life, Fatty Yu, is not in vain. I am lucky enough to be able to go to the grave with an expert like you." Fatty Yu began to flatter me, and even I could hear him. He shook his head, one behind the other, they looked like two different people.
The passage to the tomb was not too long, and we soon entered the tomb chamber. There was a small antechamber inside, but there were some burial objects. Fatty Yu looked at it, but found it incomprehensible. At this time, Dao Zi whistled, "It's the main coffin room." Lord Ghost rushed over immediately.
As soon as they entered the main coffin room, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. I saw coffins stacked one on top of another in the upper tomb. These coffins were neatly stacked together, just like a container warehouse. There is an aisle between every two rows of coffins, which can only allow one person to pass. You can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know how many there are.
"Oh my god, is this a coffin shop?" Fatty Yu exclaimed.
"What kind of coffin shop? This is a mass burial tomb. However, this burial method is really weird." The Ghost Marquis said, which made people feel a little guilty.
The Ghost Lord snorted coldly and said, "Don't be afraid that there won't be any rice dumplings here." He pointed at my feet, "The ground is covered with charcoal and lime, obviously to block moisture and prevent corpses from mutating."
"It's okay, it's okay, otherwise there would be so many rice dumplings if there were so many coffins!" Fatty Yu said happily.
I put Sissi down and looked around the tomb with a flashlight. The entire tomb was very large. I made a rough calculation and found that there were at least nearly a hundred coffins here. "With so many coffins, how many people must have died."
"It seems that these people died together, otherwise even a mass burial would not be able to reach such a scale." Huai Rujin analyzed, "It is estimated that the Yi people here encountered some major changes at that time, a natural disaster or a plague. "
"plague?"
I tried to open a coffin and found that the corpse inside was relatively well preserved and the skin was purple. "It's not a good thing if the corpse doesn't rot. How could it be preserved for so long without antiseptic technology?"
"Look at the clothes on these corpses, they are indeed the clothes of the Yi people." Huai Rujin said.
Lord Gui came over to take a look, and was a little strange at first, "There is indeed something wrong with these corpses, and they are a bit on the verge of turning into corpses, but..." As he said that, he looked at the inner wall of the coffin, because this kind of coffin Only the outside was coated with black paint, and the raw wood was exposed inside. It was obvious that Lord Ghost had noticed the material of these coffins.
He touched it with his hand, then went up to smell it, and then said, "That's it."
"These coffins are made of golden nanmu. No wonder these corpses have been preserved to this day and have successfully suppressed the transformation of corpses."
