Chapter 33, Underground River


A stone tablet is placed on the most important part of the body.

It is supposed to be the most valuable thing among the funerary objects.

Could it be that this stone tablet has a great background?

"What happened later" Seeing that Zhuzi didn't continue, I hurriedly asked. otbnkotgt "Nothing happened later.

The body was bought by a European at that time, and the coffin was smuggled out of China.

The strange thing is that Wu Dong disappeared after making this transaction.

Anyway, we have not seen each other to this day.

Pass him.

I don't know what this pattern represents, but it appeared at that time, and Wu Dong made a lot of money.

The weirdo under Xuanming Temple is also related to this pattern.

I think it might be a tomb or something.

Similar places” I have said before that there are three levels of business for people in this industry.

Opening coffins and robbing tombs does not belong to the profession of selling ghosts and monsters, so if you can't accept it, you won't accept it.

But profit comes first.

The three of us are short of money, so we can only bite the bullet.

"In this case, since that weirdo was injured, I don't think he can recover so quickly.

How about we give it a try?"

The fat man expressed his position.

He and Zhuzi stood on a united front.

I shook my head and said helplessly: "Well, let's line up the ladder first and try to make a fortune tonight."

At that time, we all used bamboo ladders with two iron hooks tied to one end and hung on the edge of the well.

In my opinion, although the things of the older generation are not necessarily convenient, they are very durable.

Compared with the stainless steel ladder that Fatty and I later used, the old bamboo ladder was actually sturdier.

The ladder extended all the way to the bottom of the well.

Beads went down first to lead the charge, I was in the middle, and Fatty took the rear.

When I was on the bamboo ladder, I glanced down.

The giant turtle's body was still there but had not been eaten by the weirdo.

It just gave off a fishy smell, like the rotten smell of rotten fish and shrimps in the market.

I covered my mouth and nose with my sleeves.

The wooden door was open.

Apparently the weirdo didn't have time to close it when he entered.

"I went in first, holding the flashlight in my mouth, and then I found a way to fix it on my body after it passed through the stone slabs in front."

I said something, then got into the wooden door with a flashlight in my mouth.

There was a long period of darkness, and the air exuded a strong smell of blood.

I even used the flashlight to shine on the blood stains left on the ground.

After Zhuzi came in, he didn't crawl at all.

He bent down and followed me easily.

Poor fat guy, he tightened his belly and climbed up like a big bear.

I looked back and shook my head with a smile.

Shake his head.

After passing through the low stone slabs and entering the large hole at the bottom of the well, I held a flashlight and looked around.

No trace of the weirdo was found, and the green light he saw last time was still flickering on the ground.

Looking around warily, Zhuzi walked to the green light source and picked it up from the ground with his gloved right hand.

I looked at it from a distance and was about to ask him if it was the Night Pearl, but at this moment, Pearl's gloves were suddenly ignited by a terrible green flame, and then burned like crazy.

"Brother Zhuzi, what's going on?"

The fat man asked in surprise.

Zhuzi hurriedly took off his gloves, but the flames had already burned his arms.

I rushed over quickly and saw obvious burns on Zhuzi's forearm, which was a large red area.

"Is everything okay?"

I asked quickly.

"Damn it, it's a fire bug, not a night pearl" Zhuzi cursed, took out a small bottle he carried with him, and sprinkled some medicinal powder on his hand.

The powder was crystal clear and looked like white snow.

After falling on Zhu Zhu's hand, the burned area seemed to be significantly improved.

"This is ground with the inner core of snow wood.

It is useful for burns."

He put away the vial and stepped on the burning gloves on the ground.

But I saw that green light source crawling quickly on the ground, like an insect on the ground.

"Still running"

Zhuzi chased after him and stepped on the green light source.

The flames burst out again in the green light and spread to both sides.

Zhuzi took a few steps back, and strange green flames illuminated the surrounding walls.

I heard a strange cry coming from the ground, like the sharp scream of an insect.

The flames spread outward from the center around the bead.

Fatty and I hurriedly backed away, only to see strange murals appearing on the walls of the cave illuminated by the flames.

When I came down before, it was too dark, and all I could see was the polished cave wall, but this time, I saw more.

The murals looked interesting, but very rough.

This is completely different from the photos of Dunhuang murals I had seen at that time.

However, even though it is rough, it is very old, and at least it has been proved that there were people here.

There must be some kind of secret hidden under the Xuanming Temple.

The strange green flame slowly extinguished, Zhuzi waved to us, and Fatty and I hurriedly walked up.

He raised his feet.

On the ground was an insect that looked somewhat similar to a hermit crab.

It was carrying a stone on its back, but the stone had been crushed by beads.

The insect body had also been torn into pieces.

I asked strangely: "Brother Zhuzhu, you just called it a fire bug.

Do you know this thing?"

Zhuzi nodded and said: "I have seen this thing before.

I don't know its scientific name, but people in the industry call it fire bugs.

They eat dead bones for a living, and a green stone will slowly form on their back.

In case of danger, fire will be released from this stone, which is us.

The green flames we just saw are usually killed immediately when we see them, because it is easy to be hit like I just did.

Once the flames jump on the body, half of the life will be lost.

I was careless.

I didn't expect it.

There will be such unclean things under this temple.”

I noticed that the beads said it was an unclean thing at the end, so I couldn't help but ask one more question: "What do you mean by saying it is an unclean thing?"

"Oh, let me tell you this, places with this thing are generally not clean."

Zhuzi didn't say it clearly, but Fatty and I understood a little bit.

The so-called unclean things might be evil earth beasts or even ghosts.

I strapped the flashlight to my shoulder so that I could hold the dagger and shovel in both hands.

Zhuzi looked forward and saw that it was pitch black, but the terrain extended downwards at a certain angle.

In other words, if we continue to move forward, we will most likely end up going deeper underground.

"Let's go."

The fat man took the lead and walked forward.

It was very quiet underground, and only the aperture of the flashlight could illuminate the surrounding scenery.

And that quietness makes people feel uneasy.

I don't have psychological problems such as claustrophobia, but in this place where weird people may appear at any time, it would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.

I walked forward for a while, and Zhuzi suddenly said: "Stop."

After standing still, Zhuzi looked both ways, then thought about it and said, "We may be walking on a dry underground river."

Neither Fatty nor I reacted immediately to these words, and looked at Zhuzi in a daze.

"Wells are generally dug to draw groundwater.

There are underground rivers underground in cities.

The well in Xuanming Temple must have been dug on the underground river.

But then the underground river dried up and the well dried up."

Zhuzi said this to me.

Both Fatty and I knew that.

Seeing that we still didn't respond, he frowned and explained in more detail, "If we are walking in such a dry underground river, then first of all we We don’t know where the underground river leads to.

Secondly, we don’t know how wide this underground river is.

Finally, if combined with the murals we just saw, maybe this underground river was artificially drained and cut off.

Then we walked.

The direction may lead to a built place, and I just looked at the murals carefully, and to be honest, they look a bit like those left by a cult."

Only then did Fatty and I finally understand.

According to Zhuzi, the cult might have drained the underground river and built some kind of building under Xuanming Temple.

At the same time, a temple like Xuanming Temple was used as a cover.

"Be mentally prepared if we really encounter this situation.

If we don't protect everything, some monsters will appear.

Some monsters are more terrifying than ghosts."

After Zhuzi finished speaking, he took the lead and continued to move forward.

Fatty and I hurriedly followed.

After all, he was well-informed.

These words made me feel slightly chilled.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the road ahead suddenly stopped.

The three of us separated to find a way out.

I walked along the stone wall with a flashlight for a while.

I seemed to hear some kind of sound vaguely, because we were in a quiet underground space. , so you can hear clearly.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu" There was a sound like something rolling.

I frowned and looked back.

At this moment, there seemed to be something in the darkness.

Not far in front of me, a long and thin thing was slowly rising from the ground:
