Tomb Raiders

Shen Liaobai was startled, and looked around, but found no trace of Song Qiancheng.

In the tomb room, a needle could be heard for a while, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay, silent.

After a while, Chu Yuyang opened his mouth and said, "He was the last one when he came in just now?" When he said this, his pale eyes stared at Shen Liaobai unabashedly.

Shen Liaobai was not guilty, and replied bluntly: "That's true. He was originally asked to advance. Unexpectedly, the knife on his back was stuck in the hole, and he couldn't get in anyway. Hearing Hanzhang's urging, he Then he got up and adjusted the position of the knife, and let me go in first, it was my negligence."

Chu Yuyang stopped Hanzhang and the two who had a very bad face, and motioned them not to speak. He glanced at the hole and said, "There is nothing useful in this tomb, but it is very important where Mr. Song is now. Let's first Go back to the tomb passage and have a look."

Wen Hao frowned and asked, "Then this coffin is not worth it?"

Chu Yuyang glanced at the dilapidated coffin lid, "Let's go."

Hanzhang and the two of them obviously followed Chu Jianyang, so they didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the tomb door.Shen Liaobai took a last look at the bare tomb, feeling strange, there are usually seven nails in a coffin, called "descendant nails", and the length and position of the two long nails in this coffin are not only the position No, it doesn't look like a craftsman's handicraft, but more like someone hastily re-nailed it.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and was the last one to climb out.Hanzhang stood guard at the entrance of the cave, heaved a sigh of relief when he came out, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't lose another one. Mrs. Shen, you and Dalang, I and Wenhao, we are here to look for Song Qiancheng. "

Shen Liaobai nodded and walked towards Chu Yuyang who was standing not far away.

Chu Yuyang stood straight in the middle of the tomb passage, with his head lowered slightly, his gaze fell obliquely to the floor tiles of the tomb passage, Shen Liaobai also looked over, and before he saw anything, he heard Chu Yuyang say: "Let's go, go left."

The left ear room is where Wen Hao and the two inspected it. After entering, it was as Wen Hao said, there were some iron halberd soldiers piled up inside, all of which were stained with rust, and the whole ear room was clean except for that. A place where people can hide.

It was the first time for Shen Liaobai to see weapons in the army. He walked over and moved a copper ax leaning against the corner with his fingertips. His fingertips were immediately covered with copper rust. He was lowering his head and rubbing away the copper rust when suddenly After hearing this, Chu Yuyang sternly said: "Come quickly!"

Shen Liaobai stepped back subconsciously. Unexpectedly, just as he lifted his feet, the brick under his feet shook violently. He couldn't stand for a while and fell to the ground. At the same time, there was a movement under the square brick, and he stood up suddenly , Shen Liaobai who was on top immediately slid down along the brick surface, this series of accidents happened in the blink of an eye, at last Shen Liaobai only caught a glimpse of the khaki roof of the tomb, and then hit the back of his head hard on something, Immediately, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took before Shen Liaobai woke up vaguely. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a pain in the back of his head. He reached out to touch it, but someone grabbed his wrist. Shen Liaobai was not yet fully He was sober, but was startled by the hand holding him, and just about to struggle, he heard a familiar voice say: "Don't move."

Shen Liaobai was startled, and asked cautiously: "Chu...Yangyang?"

Chu Yuyang was silent for a moment, then gave a faint "hmm", and then said: "Don't move for now, and stand up slowly after the pain subsides."

Shen Liaobai responded, and after relaxing, the pain became more and more obvious. Enduring the pain, he frowned and looked around. This is another new tomb passage, and it is much more delicate than the one above. Shen Liaobai blinked, but there was no candle, so where did the light come from?

Chu Yuyang seemed to see the doubts in his heart, and took out a small gauze bag from the bag wrapped around his waist. As soon as he took it out, the green light more than doubled immediately, and the whole gauze bag was like a small and exquisite lantern.

"This is?" Shen Liaobai looked at the gauze bag curiously, and could vaguely see something slowly wriggling inside.

"Penghuo." Chu Yuyang untied the gauze bag, took one out lightly, and placed it in Shen Liaobai's palm.

It was a soft worm as thick as a little finger. What was strange was that green spots of similar size were evenly arranged on both sides of its body, and the greenish light was emitted from these spots.

Chu Yuyang took out another gauze bag from his waist pouch, took a few worms into it, tied it up and said to Shen Liaobai: "This is a tomb within a tomb, just in case, just take this."

A tomb within a tomb, as the name suggests, is a tomb inside a tomb. A virtual tomb is generally set up above the real tomb. Only when a specific mechanism is triggered will the real tomb passage be opened. If you enter the wrong tomb passage, you will be trapped to death.Because of the huge amount of work, this kind of tomb cannot be built by ordinary people.

Shen Liaobai took it and carefully put it in his waist pocket.Can't help but ask curiously: "Why don't you light the lamp on the wall?"

Chu Qianyang said: "There are traps everywhere in the tomb. If it is not necessary, no matter whether it is the tomb passage or the tomb chamber, it is better not to touch the things inside."

Enduring the pain in the back of his head, Shen Liaobai stood up slowly, and asked, "What about Hanzhang and the others?"

Chu Yuyang narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the tomb passage, and said, "There should be more than one flap like this above, most of them have also come down, including Song Qiancheng."

"But when we checked just now, we walked around and didn't trigger the flap?" Shen Liaobai asked.

"That coffin," Chu Yuyang replied, "I was negligent. That coffin may be a switch. Once it is turned, it will trigger the mechanism of the entire tomb."

"Then shall we go to them first?" Shen Liaobai looked at the tomb passage with light. This tomb passage is much longer than the one above, and it is not straight. As far as I can see, it should be from narrow to wide. There is no end in sight at both ends, leaving the range of light, and then disappearing in darkness.

"Take out the map." Chu Yuyang said suddenly.

Shen Liaobai was startled, took out the map from his arms and handed it to Chu Yuyang, "What?"

Chu Yuyang unfolded the crude map, looked at it for a while, the corners of his lips raised slightly, showing a smile, and Shen Liaobai, who had been looking at him, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, this was the first time he saw Chu Yuyang smile.

The smile quickly disappeared, Chu Yuyang put away the map, "This is the place on the map."

Shen Liaobai said: "So the one above is just a suspicious grave?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, he carried the gauze bag to identify the direction, and said, "Go here."

Shen Liaobai followed Chu Yuyang obediently and walked towards the narrower path of the tomb.He didn't question Chu Yuyang's decision. From the moment he met and set off in Dingzhou, he clearly understood that among the five people, probably only he and Song Qiancheng had no experience. Thoughtful in preparation, meticulous in action, and agile in skill, one can tell at a glance that this task is not done once or twice.

Moving forward along the tomb passage, the two walked for a while, and finally saw a curved arched door on the right side of the tomb passage. Chu Yuyang stood by the door, took out a red translucent bead from his waist pocket and threw it in. After a long while there was no movement inside, Chu Yuyang just walked in.

Shen Liaobai was wondering what Chu Yuyang had thrown in, and as soon as he followed him into the arch, he could smell a faint fishy smell.

"Is this... the smell of blood?" Shen Liaobai sniffed, wondering.

Chu Yuyang glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be a little surprised, but he quickly turned his face away, and said softly: "It's blood, the blood beads will break when they touch the soil, and the blood inside is the little finger finger of a virgin when menstruation comes." Pointed blood, this kind of blood is full of yin and qi, which is a great attraction for certain things."

Shen Liaobai did not expect Chu Yuyang to give such a detailed explanation, he couldn't help but look at Chu Yuyang, but the other party was walking in front, and he could barely see the side of his face, without any expression .

Inside the arch is another small tomb passage. There are some broken porcelain and bricks scattered on both sides of the tomb. Shen Liaobai felt a little distressed.

At the end of this short tomb passage is a stone door, similar to the stone door of the main tomb above, a hole has been made by the person who came in front for one person to enter and exit, and it is also well blocked, Chu Yuyang did not stop , removed the bricks blocking the entrance of the hole, leaned over and went in first.

Shen Liaobai sighed, this day, he just drilled the hole several times, if it was Master Cheng in the school, he would have jumped a long time ago.

When he leaned close to the ground, Shen Liaobai sniffed lightly. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that there was something else in the bloody smell. Just when he wanted to distinguish a little, the green light at the entrance of the cave flashed twice. Next, Shen Liaobai knew that Chu Yuyang was waiting there, so he put it down for the time being and carefully drilled in.

After entering, he saw Chu Yuyang waiting by the door, and raised his hand to signal him to look forward.

Shen Liaobai patted the hem of his clothes, and looked forward with the light. For some reason, the light from the bonfire dimmed a lot after entering the tomb, so that the place he could see was only five steps in front of him.

However, Shen Liaobai was still surprised by what he saw within the distance of five steps. There were densely packed green-glazed porcelain pots with double ears seen on the tomb passage before him. The difference was that these pots were all intact. There is also a wooden board painted with tung oil on the porcelain pot. The two ends of the wooden board are perforated, and the slender and crystal-clear silk thread passes through the hole, wraps around the ears a few times, and is loosely tied.

"What are these?" Shen Liaobai stood against the door, and he couldn't help it. These porcelain jars were arranged closely, almost from the door to the back. Except for the door, it seemed that there was no other people in this tomb. place.

Chu Yuyang hadn't said a word since he called in, and Shen Liaobai's question hadn't been answered. Bored, he had no choice but to observe the porcelain pot in front of him.I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the wooden board covering the porcelain jar was vibrating slightly.

Shen Liaobai rubbed his eyes, and was about to take a closer look, but was grabbed by Chu Yuyang, "Go!"

Before he could react, he only heard a "pop", as if something broke, and then there was a sound like wings vibrating. Shen Liaobai couldn't help but followed the sound and saw the , there was a porcelain jar with a wooden board slanted aside, and several beetle-like things were crawling outward while vibrating their elytra from the jar.

"This is..." Shen Liaobai murmured.

"Shooting..." Chu Yuyang stopped his movements, and his voice was extremely low, "most of them exist in the mountains and streams of the south of the Yangtze River. They are one or two inches long and have a crossbow shape in their mouths. They shoot people with air. , ranging from sores to death. I have encountered it before, but at that time there were only a few dozens of them. Now this tomb, I am afraid that every porcelain jar is filled with water, full of these poisonous insects The archer can't see anything, but he is very sensitive to the smell of living things. At this time, if you don't move, they will definitely come to you."

In just this short speech, the sound of wooden boards vibrating one after another sounded in the tomb, which was especially shocking in the dead silence of the tomb.
