He said that this was also a story he heard from his grandfather’s generation when he was a child. It said that when a group of local masters went to the tomb, they took a new apprentice with them and asked questions along the way. The tense spirit was a little irritated by his questioning. In addition, there were many traps in the tomb and you could be caught accidentally. Moreover, the tombs at that time basically had some smoke or some kind of poison that grew in the tomb. Plants have hallucinogenic effects and can easily cause people to become fascinated.
Appearance is actually a hallucination, being attracted by the things in the illusion, and then falling into a trap.
As a result, the young apprentice became obsessed with his appearance, covering his head and shouting about where there were rice dumplings or ghosts. Everyone was already very nervous, but he made such a noise that everyone panicked, and the mechanism was triggered. , not one of the dozen or so people came out.
Regardless of whether this incident is true or not, there is indeed a saying that burglars should not make loud noises in the tomb. However, there are different opinions on the reasons, and no one dares to make a final decision and say that he is right.
After telling this story, Lao Sun said earnestly: "At the end of tomb passage No. 2 is an artificial lake. If you want to cross the artificial lake, you must swim across it. Let me remind the brothers that there is something in the water."
San'er trembled when he heard something. The big snake in the river cave just now made him fearful of water.
Erlong was worthy of his nagging. He rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it just a water monkey?"
Lao Sun said: "Yes, there were eight of us in the group, and only three of us left in the end, losing five brothers..."
After listening to Lao Sun's narration, San'er said: "Brother Sun, give that box cannon of yours a shot and I won't believe it will survive."
Erlong retorted: "The water monkey is very fast and difficult to hit."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was gloomy.
The bearded man threw the can in his hand: "Quickly? Can we pass the bullet any faster? Then we can hold it down, and Lao Sun can just shoot him. How can a water monkey make you so worried?" Besides, there’s nothing to eat or drink there, so the water monkey might have died long ago.”
After some rest, we set out again.
The passage to Tomb No. 2 is not long. You can see the reservoir about one kilometer away. A set of steps leads to the bottom of the artificial lake. There is also a set of steps at the other end of the artificial lake. Climbing up the steps is a hidden stone door.
There is no light in the tomb, and the range of the miner's lamp is small, so it is impossible to see the entire spatial structure clearly.
Xiao Wu said: "Brother Sun, Second Brother and the others are here..."
Lao Sun nodded and took out the cannon box: "I'll go first."
He had a pistol in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and then went down the steps.
A few of us followed closely behind.
Just when we were about to approach the water, Xiao Wu suddenly pulled me.
As soon as I turned around, Xiao Wu said, "Shopkeeper, do you see something on the water? Isn't that a water monkey?"
I squinted my eyes and looked, but there was nothing. I was confused and placed three fingers on his pulse gate. Everything was clear to me. Then I motioned to him not to panic and just pretend not to see it.
In fact, I smelled a smell since I entered Tomb No. 2, but I was never sure. It was only now that I was sure it was the smell of datura flowers.
This kind of flower has a strong hallucinogenic effect. The smell it emits enters the body and travels through the Shaoyin Heart Meridian in the hand. It travels up the esophagus and connects to the eye system. It can easily cause hallucinations and allow people to see what they fear.
Now I am very doubtful whether there are so-called water monkeys here. The water monkeys that Lao Sun saw last time were either something else, or they killed their teammates as water monkeys after hallucinating.
Wow——
Lao Sun had already entered the water. He floated his backpack on the water and made a silent gesture at us, which meant that we should swim quietly over.
This small lake is not wide, less than five meters away.
Halfway through the swim, Lao Sun seemed to be pulled into the water by something. He disappeared and the miner's lamp on his head flickered a few times and then lost its light.
I slapped Xiao Wu on the back of the head: "You go and follow Da Long and the others, and I'll save Lao Sun."
After saying that, I didn't care about Xiao Wu and plunged in with a fierce thrust.
Because the miner's lamp is waterproof, I can still roughly see Lao Sun's figure after diving. The water here is a little clearer than that of Zhushan Reservoir.
At this time, there was something the size of an iron pot attached to Lao Sun's head, and he couldn't pull it off even with his hands.
I reached him with my hands and feet, and stabbed him directly with the saber in my hand. Suddenly, a stream of sticky liquid covered my face.
I stretched out my hand to wipe off the mucus on my face, and lifted up Lao Sun's collar.
When I got out of the water, I took a private look and saw several more of these big things approaching us.
Lao Sun said: "Shopkeeper, you go first, I'm going to fight these water monkeys."
"Fart." I slapped him on the face, which immediately shocked him. I said, "See what that is for yourself."
As I said that, I stabbed it out with a knife, lifted it up and lifted the thing out of the water. Green slime flowed down my arm.
Lao Sun said: "Corpse? Come on, this thing grows so big to eat people and suck their blood."
In fact, he didn't need to tell me, I was already swimming towards the shore.
The zombies that followed behind me were killed one by one by Lao Sun and me.
After landing on the shore, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was the first time I saw this thing and I was also scared.
Lao Sun suddenly took a breath of cold air: "Shopkeeper, behind me..."
I pushed him to the ground and took a look. There was a huge corpse clinging to his back. After I stabbed it in with my knife, Lao Sun shouted again: "This is a vicious dog. It hurts so much when it bites."
"Just bear with it."
"It's okay, just do it." Lao Sun took the bandage next to him and bit it in his mouth.
I took a saber and pried off the corpse, and then Lao Sun reluctantly shot it.
He took the bandage from Lao Sun's hand, sprinkled it with white medicine and bandaged it.
For such a big corpse cricket, they probably thought it was a water monkey last time.
I washed away the blood on my hands, lit a cigarette for Old Sun, and asked: "Old Sun, don't you think there is something wrong with the three Dalongs?"
"what is the problem?"
"First of all, the three of them didn't act nervous at all after the boatman disappeared. Either they knew that the boatman would leave us in the river cave, or it means that they knew the tomb clearing better than you in advance; both of these two Either situation means one thing..."
I deliberately let it slip.
Lao Sun's pupils shrank: "Someone other than us is eyeing this place."
"It's okay to keep an eye on this place. I'm afraid they're targeting us." I tightened the schoolbag behind me and signaled to Sun that he could leave.
