Xu Qian looked around, and there was silence all around.
The black blood in the wound where I was bitten by the zombie bug has begun to solidify, so it seems to be nothing serious.
"There must be some secret passage here, otherwise the banshee wouldn't have disappeared out of thin air." Xu Qian judged.
"Is it possible that you can walk through walls?" I replied half-jokingly.
Sister Meng and Da Di have already begun to look for clues separately to see if they can find some secret passages and the like. Judging from the current situation, this golden coffin was carefully planned and designed by the snake-headed succubus. She was just waiting.
This moment of recovery.
"Sister Qian, I still don't understand. What is the use of this white devil? Even if it can really come back from the dead, it will just become a monster. What is the difference between this white devil and the puppet we met before?
It’s just a new year.”
"This Baisha is different from the puppet. The puppet is just a wisp of ghost, while the Baisha has its own body and soul. However, the mind of this Baisha has been lost. The so-called soul is actually just a thread that supports the activities of the body.
After all, it’s a void." Xu Qian said.
"Don't talk about it now, let's go look for it!" Da Di urged, "I think this banshee is a bit evil. She will always be a disaster if she keeps it."
"Okay!" After taking a few steps, I felt something hit my feet, like a stone, but it made a crisp, mechanical sound.
"Hey, what is this?" I bent down and picked up a small, boxy machine with several buttons on it.
Although it was covered with dust, it was vaguely visible that it was a voice recorder. I wiped it with my sleeves, and a small screen appeared on the machine. Xu Qian came over to take a look and shook her head, "We shouldn't have brought this in."
.”
Then she noticed the corpses in the coffin and said, "It should be theirs."
I pressed the somewhat rusty button hard, and after waiting for a while, a sharp complaint came from the machine, "Lin, don't push yourself too hard. I respect you as the mayor, but your heart
It’s too big, aren’t you afraid of stretching yourself to death?”
"Mayor?" I was shocked. The tape recorder unexpectedly recorded the conversation between the old mayor and someone else. I didn't want to think too much about it, but another voice appeared in it. It was the accent of the old mayor, "Ba
Geer, I don't want to listen to what you said. You said that if you came to this ghost cave without me to open the way for you, would you have been able to do so smoothly? Just the sound of the roaring machine, I could call a police officer to destroy public property.
The charges will be withheld from you."
Following the old mayor's words, the man named Bagel was silent for a while, as if thinking about something.
I guessed in my mind that the two of them were probably doing some kind of deal, and the old mayor might have made the other party dissatisfied by asking for an exorbitant price.
"The old mayor is really not a good bird!"
After a moment of silence, the man named Bagel spoke again, but his tone was much gentler, "Mayor Lin, you did help a lot when you came in this time, but you also know that we have eight brothers here this time.
, four are dead and two are missing. These are all brothers with families! The family comfort money alone is a lot. There are a lot of treasures in this tomb, but you have to live to take it, right? You
I’ll give you the jade pendant you want. I’ll give you an extra 20,000 yuan for the rest. What do you think?”
Jade pendant? I thought about it and figured out the reason. It must be that the old mayor used his identity as mayor to lure the wolf into the house and colluded with these people who were fighting against each other.
The treasures that came out were divided among several people.
"Haha, the old mayor was still talking nonsense to me, saying that the jade pendant was a treasure passed down from his ancestors. He thought I was blind all the way and was a fool. I worked so hard for him that I caught you this time. Let's see what you do.
manage!"
"Eh, that's not right." Sister Meng was very attentive and immediately noticed something was wrong. "Isn't the jade pendant already in his hands? Then why did he trick us into coming down?"
"That's right." Da Di also felt something was wrong, "Besides, how did he know that we would fall into a trap?"
At this moment, a violent scream suddenly came from the recorder. I was caught off guard and my hand shook, and the recorder fell to the ground.
"Damn it, this is scaring people to death without paying for it!"
The one who screamed like a pig in this recorder was probably that Bagel. Such a miserable cry, either his ancestral grave was dug up, or his life was fatally threatened.
"You're not going to trick the old mayor!" I muttered, "The old mayor has ulterior motives. Sister Qian, do you think we are on the right track this time?"
"I saw something was wrong with him early on." Xu Qian said calmly, "I just took advantage of the situation."
"oh?"
"It is said that people die for money and birds die for food. The purpose of the old mayor is to seek wealth. But look, except for this golden coffin, where are the treasures here?"
"Could he be here for the golden coffin?"
"People who seek wealth have existed since ancient times, but the most terrifying thing is not seeking wealth."
"what is that?"
"Obsession."
"Obsession?"
I suddenly reacted, "Could it be that..."
"There must be something pitiful about a miserable person."
At this time, Sister Meng and Da Di noticed the top of the grotto. The light source that had just been extinguished was always a mystery.
"Besides Gu, the most core element of White Evil is another essential thing." Sister Meng said.
"It's the light from above."
"The light of extreme cold?"
"Yes, I have never seen this extremely cold light. I have only heard Master Gu talk about it once or twice before, saying that a long time ago, a practicing Taoist priest found a phosphate mine in a mountain in the Kangba area.
"
"Phosphate rock?"
"That's right, the Taoist priest accidentally lit the phosphorus stone in the phosphate mine. He thought that the fire would burn the entire mine. Unexpectedly, the phosphorus fire gave off an unusually bright light, but the light was extremely cold and chilled the heart.
.”
"What's the point of this?" I was a little confused. "Isn't light and heat an exothermic reaction? So it might be unusually cold?"
Xu Qian explained: "Sister Meng is right. This extremely cold light phosphorus stone is called ten thousand year phosphorus fire. It is the same as the mermaid grease in the deep sea. Once it is dyed, it will be immortal for ten thousand years."
"There is still such a thing."
"Therefore, this ten thousand-year-old phosphorus fire is often used by tomb masters to make everlasting lamps, because it is very cold and is particularly suitable for placement in tombs, and it is safer than open fires."
"But since it is immortal for thousands of years, how did this fire get extinguished?" I couldn't figure it out.
"This is the ingenuity of the design of this ghost cave. Everything here is symbiotic. Once the golden coffin is opened and the white evil inside escapes from the grotto, the ten thousand-year phosphorus fire above the grotto will
If it is extinguished, the White Evil Gu will die."
"So, the builder of this ghost cave is indeed an expert."
"The snake-headed succubus is most likely the leader of a tribe and a religious leader. She must have mastered the white evil poison in Miao territory, so she carefully designed this ghost cave for herself."
At this time, I thought of a key point in my mind, "The recorder fell here, which means that the person who was fighting and the old mayor came here, and the deal may have been made here." I knocked on the Tianling cover hard.
He said with sudden realization.
"What Lin Kun said makes sense." Sister Meng thought deeply. "I also think it was a gangster attack. Maybe it was because after the old mayor came in, he knew he couldn't achieve his goal on his own, so he tricked us into coming in."
At this time, the coffin, which had never been moved at all, suddenly moved. The bottom of the coffin weighed several hundred kilograms at least. To be able to move it, it was still difficult to push it from below. If it were a person, it was definitely a skill.
A connoisseur of strength.
The thick coffin board made a sizzling sound as it moved in contact with the ground due to its age, and a large amount of debris was carried down by the uneven ground.
Those empty, blood-red eyes appeared in my mind again, as if they could suck people's souls away, and frightening sharp claws grew on their slender purple fingers.
My eyes blurred, and a very thin black shadow quickly passed by my ear. When I reacted, I felt my ears were a little cold.
When I touched it with my hand, it was all covered in blood.
I quickly turned around and looked, because at the same moment, there was a crisp sound of broken glass behind me, and on the brick wall three to four meters away, a spider web crack appeared like a pistol shot, but there was a hole in the middle.
But not as big as a bullet.
It's too late, but it's too soon. I was like a donkey rolling along the ground. I have to admit that I was lucky. If the needle-shaped concealed weapon moved a few centimeters to the side, then either the wall or mine would be broken.
Head.
After a while, I heard no sound.
"Under the coffin!"
"quick!"
The few of us didn't dare to delay, so we worked hard together. The bottom of the golden coffin was indeed not sealed, and a circular cave gradually appeared in my sight.
"Sister Qian, it's really empty down here."
"Be careful."
"Um."
At this time, I couldn't help but take a few steps back nervously.
"According to my inference, since the snake-headed banshee has left a way for herself to survive, it means that the layer above this ghost cave will collapse sooner or later. After she leaves here, everything here will be buried.
Ground."
I gritted my teeth, held the dagger in one hand, clenched my fist in the other, looked at the fist as big as a sandbag, and said, "We are not afraid of her, but this thing cannot let her live in the world, no matter who she is, in the face of the laws of nature
No one is exempt!"
"What if I want to live a long life?" Xu Qian suddenly said this again, which made me a little confused and didn't know what to say, "Well, this..."
"Tch, I'm kidding you." Xu Qian snorted and smiled heartlessly, "When I become an old woman, you will probably no longer want me."
"How can this be!"
Chapter completed!
