Chapter 33
Chapter 32
Everything returned to silence, and Xiao Tang folded his arms with tears in his eyes.
"Why is it always me who gets hurt every time?"
Lin Qiang glared at him coldly: "Who made you the weakest!"
"Professor Shen, I won't be poisoned, right?"
Shen Kodan comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all right."
Shen Mo said: "Although the black gnat Gu is not a powerful Gu, it is quite vicious. In addition to being controlled by the person who cast the Gu, the person who is infected by the Gu will be covered with scales if he leaves a certain range, turning into a human head and a snake body. The monsters, which gradually dried up and died, are usually used on captives. It’s safer to take two more medicines with the students when you go back.”
"You don't mean the Gu you just caught, do you?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't want it!" Xiao Tang wanted to cry but suddenly had the urge to vomit. He would rather have bugs crawl in from his body than eat them from his mouth!
Jiang Xiaosi looked around and asked, "Aside from this Gu worm, are there no other organs and traps in the tomb?"
"The excavation went very smoothly, and there were basically no other human obstacles."
"Strange, how did those people transport the plasma underground?"
"Plasma in the ground?"
"Well, directly below, very deep."
Shen Mo frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought: "There is a cliff not far away."
Everyone returned from the tomb and came to the edge of the cliff. Looking up, I can only see a vast sea of clouds and mountains in the distance, like a fairyland of ink and wash. The green pines hang upside down on the edge of the cliff, and you can touch the floating clouds with your hands.
Jiang Xiaosi walked to the edge of the cliff, helped the tree and looked down. The mountains are surrounded by mountains, and the clouds and mists below linger all the year round, making it hard to see clearly. No one knows how deep the bottom of the cliff is and what lies beneath it. Jiang Xiaosi was blowing the biting cold wind that poured in, his body seemed to be floating, and he had the urge to jump into the sea of clouds.
Shen Kodan called out the kitten and let it float down to investigate. The kitten floated into the cloud, and soon merged with the cloud and disappeared.
After more than ten minutes, the kitten came back and said: "There is a plank road on the cliff leading to a cave below."
"Plank road? Xiao Tang, you are injured, and you and Jiang Xiaosi are on guard." Shen Mo felt the direction and lowered the rope.
"I'm going!" Jiang Xiaosi didn't want to be thrown on top at this time.
"It's okay, let her go, Xiao Si, follow Dad and don't run around." Jiang Liu said suddenly, for him, Jiang Xiaosi is the safest only in front of him at all times.
The father had already spoken, so Shen Mo didn't say anything more.
Lin Qiang took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket: "I'll stay here, you guys go down."
After all, someone needs to be here to watch the rope to ensure that they can come back safely, and at the same time prevent people from escaping. There are too many weird things in the tomb, and a gun may not be able to solve the problem, so it's better not to go in and hold back. And leaving Xiao Tang here alone, in case of any danger, he won't be able to run away.
Shen Mo climbed down the rope, and the kitten floated beside him. Going down the cliff for more than 20 meters, I finally saw the plank road. It is very old, but it is obvious that it has been repaired recently, so it is solid.
The wind was very strong, he carefully supported the cliff and walked a few steps forward along the trembling plank road. After confirming that there was no problem, he greeted a few people to come down.
Jiang Xiaosi was very nervous, clinging to the cliff like a gecko, moving his steps carefully. This ancient plank road is like a belt tied around the waist of the high cliff. Walking in the clouds, it seems that if you are not careful, you will fall into the bottomless abyss.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the plank road twisted and slowly extended downwards, and a dark hole was seen.
After entering, I found that this place is not as narrow and long as the previous passage, and the inside is quite empty, and many bats were awakened by the searchlight.
"This is a natural cave, there should be a road leading directly to the bottom of the tower tomb." Jiang Xiaosi followed behind Shen Mo and Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu was holding her hand, and Shen Koudan was behind marking the circuit.
"Dad! Look, there are so many glowing little mushrooms!" Jiang Xiaosi let go of Jiang Liu's hand, and ran forward bouncingly.
In the darkness in the distance, the glowing sparks meandered forward like a flowing river, forming a path leading to a deeper dark place.
"Xiao Si, don't touch it, it's poisonous." Jiang Liu warned.
Jiang Xiaosi hurriedly jumped aside, not daring to step on it casually.
"That's why we need to build pipelines." Jiang Liu pointed to the traces of pipelines left by the roadside.
"But it's not easy to transport it to this mountain."
"It was transported by helicopter. This person has a lot of money, but if it is Meizhai Tianfu, it is entirely possible to do it."
Several people walked slowly along the glowing mushrooms along the road. The road was artificially repaired, so it was still easy to walk. The temperature inside the cave was much higher than outside, as if it went from winter to summer in an instant, and several people couldn't bear the heat, so they all took off their coats.
"The road has been going downwards. I guess we have all descended to the bottom twenty or thirty floors of the tower, right? How deep is this tower?" Shen Kodan dressed up this time as a little girl about the same age as Jiang Xiaosi, with a crisp voice Yes, Shen Mo has long been familiar with the strangeness, but Jiang Liu is still not used to it.
Just as he was talking, a huge circular arch appeared in front of him. On the door, there were nine lifelike three-clawed golden dragons engraved on it, shining brightly in the dark.
Jiang Xiaosi smiled brightly: "Which emperor is the one who won't be buried? There must be a lot of funerary objects. Let's take some more and go back to the bone incense sale. This time we will make a lot of money!"
Although Miao Yan often helps them, but that miser always charges money, and the price is scary, plus her father always loves to do good deeds and donates a lot of money, the store is always unable to make ends meet. This time, I can pay off all the debts owed to that female ghost! Hahaha! Jiang Xiaosi smiled happily while thinking, wishing he could pounce on the gold powder on the door right now.
But how to open this door? Jiang Xiaosi inspected it carefully, but he didn't find even the slightest gap, and he didn't see any mechanism on the door.
Shen Mo squatted down, looked at the few drops of dark red stains on the ground, picked up a small amount of dirt, and smelled it on the tip of his nose. He carefully checked the dragon carving on the door, then turned his head and asked, "Jiang Xiaosi, are you type B blood?"
Jiang Xiaosi nodded.
"You drop a few drops of blood in the mouths of these nine dragons."
Jiang Xiaosi pursed her mouth and wanted to bleed again. She had already lost 400cc before, and she hasn't eaten it yet! Reluctantly, he made a small cut on his index finger and dripped a drop of blood into each of the nine dragons' mouths.
When the last one was dripped, the dragons seemed to come alive, swimming quickly on the door wall, as if they were about to fly out into the sky at any time. A few dragons coiled into a strange shape, and there was a click sound, and the giant door began to slowly lift upwards.
A gust of wind blew inside, and the four of them couldn't help shivering.
"careful!"
Feeling danger, Jiang Liu stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Xiaosi, who was foolishly rushing to the first one for the treasure, but he didn't expect to catch her in vain, Shen Mo had already quickly stepped aside with her.
Five black fingers that were as dry as dead branches grabbed towards him, Jiang Liu jumped back slightly, and fell like a feather one meter away. Taking a closer look, two zombies, a man and a woman, stood in front of them. They were very standard zombie images, with cheongsam, mandarin jacket, flowerpot soles, shoes and big braids, and two **** of carmine on the face as if powdered and white paper.
Jiang Xiaosi didn't care about the danger, hugging his stomach and laughing loudly, their master has watched "Zombie Daoist" too much, dressed like this? She has seen countless zombies of the same kind, but none with such typical characteristics.
Shen Mo took her and threw her into the corner behind him, and then went forward to clean up the zombies with Jiang Liu. To deal with this kind of unconscious zombie, there is no need to talk nonsense, just start fighting directly.
These two little zombies met two Taoist priests and a thousand-year-old zombie this time, and they were really unlucky for eight lifetimes. , standing on both sides like door gods.
After cleaning up the two gatekeeper zombies, everyone had time to look around seriously. It is not as dark as the outside, the inside is a completely man-made secret room, with luminous pearls inlaid on the four corners, and what is neatly stacked in the corners is not a treasure box, but one piece of weapons and armor. Yiyi reflected a dazzling cold light.
The four continued to walk in, and several rooms were piled up with weapons.
"Uncle, are we already in the tower tomb?" Shen Koudan asked.
Shen Mo shook his head: "Around the tower tomb, it seems that another underground palace has been built."
Jiang Xiaosi fumbled around and looked around: "How can someone build the underground palace in such a deep place, it's impossible to dig, and it's even more difficult to go from the cliff."
"If I'm not mistaken, this place should be an extinct volcano. The owner of the tomb built an underground palace in the crater, and then built a tower tomb according to the size of the crater, and then filled it. After many years, it finally became what it is now. "
Jiang Xiaosi clapped his hands and laughed: "If the volcano erupts, the burial will become cremation."
"Before the construction, there must have been a good survey of the geology to confirm that there will be no more eruptions. Besides, as long as the time is long enough, there is no place in this world that is an eternal paradise."
Hearing Shen Mo's words, Jiang Liu couldn't help but look up at him. Jiang Xiaosi's gaze always followed his figure along the way, his expression was sometimes excited and sometimes jumpy, very much like Liu Zhi's appearance when he first fell in love with Zhao Bing. It is self-deception.
It would be too late if he didn't stop, Jiang Liu decided to go back and move to another city. It has long been a habit for him and Jiang Xiaosi to wander around. In his mouth, he said that he hoped that Xiao Si would fall in love, but in terms of selfishness, he didn't want her to fall in love with anyone, change her current state and leave him. So he will help Shen Mo and the others find the purple seal first, and then take Xiao Si away.
There was obviously a formation in the tomb, but Shen Mo and Jiang Liu found the Shengmen very quickly, and the four of them entered the tower tomb. This floor is much larger than the one above, and is divided into several chambers. Shen Mo speculated that it should be the bottom floor, and estimated that the tower has at least thirty floors. But this mountain is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, which is nothing to say.
Several tombs were quite gorgeous, Jiang Xiaosi was dumbfounded, drooling. The walls are filled with gems and pearls of various colors, and the boxes are filled with jade, gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, swords and bows, and some bottles and jars that should be medicinal materials. Jiang Liu flipped through it casually, and found that many of them were tributes.
"This tower tomb belongs to the Song Dynasty." Jiang Liu frowned slightly, feeling ominous in his heart.
Suddenly, a strange and ethereal voice came from nowhere.
"Shen Mo?"
