"You will die if you enter the tomb, why don't you go in?"
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Jiang Wuji was asking for the opinion of the little-footed female corpse, but to outsiders, the sudden self-questioning and answering was no different from that of a madman.
"elder brother……"
Feeling the weak and boneless hands, Jiang Wuji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Little Taoist Master, you are actually quite scary sometimes..." Cao Li bared his teeth with a wry smile on his face.
Jiang Wuji did not refute. He knew his own situation best, and it was inevitable to scare the people around him.
After explaining the matter in a few words, Jiang Wuji suggested that Cao Li and Xiaoyu stay outside the tomb while he went in alone.
But this proposal met with strong opposition from both men.
Xiaoyu was naturally worried that Jiang Wuji would go down alone. As for Cao Li, although he said he wanted to go down and see the world, he was actually afraid that Jiang Wuji would be in danger and become isolated and helpless.
Unable to defeat the two of them, Jiang Wuji no longer struggled too much, but reminded: "Then the roe deer owl is probably related to this tomb. Be careful when you enter."
"Yeah!" The two of them agreed in a serious voice.
Jiang Wuji took a deep breath, put his hand on the half of the stone door, and then pushed hard!
"Boom boom boom!"
A low and empty roar sounded, and pushing open the half stone door was much easier than imagined.
When the stone door was pushed open, bursts of cold air hit their faces. What appeared in front of the three people was a darkness that seemed to be unable to illuminate even the light, a darkness that was so profound that it was extremely deep.
"Little Taoist Master, there is a ladder!"
At the junction of the ground and the stone gate, there is a soft ladder hanging.
A ladder is a rope ladder, but the ladder in front of you is made of rope, even the pedals, and it looks rough and very unstable.
Cao Li grabbed a handful of soil, squeezed it and smelled it, frowned and said: "Little Taoist Master, the surrounding soil has been disturbed, this ladder should have been hung by those horse bandits."
Jiang Wuji nodded and said, "Get ready to unload something. I'll unload it first in a while, and you can follow."
…
Climbing down the ladder carefully, Jiang Wuji found that the tomb was completely different from what was shown on TV. Before his feet even touched the ground, the surrounding darkness was like a tide, completely covering the three of them.
engulf.
Moreover, the temperature of this space is very low, making it feel like a large, empty ice cellar! The blood in the body seems to be solidifying.
"call!"
Jiang Wuji used fire sticks to light the torches prepared in advance to disperse the darkness and the shadows in the darkness.
But when the steep rock wall was illuminated by the fire, the scene that appeared in front of you made your scalp numb and your hair standing on end!
There is nothing wrong with the rock wall itself. The problem is that the mud layer is embedded with a pair of pale human bones!
Some of these bones are kneeling and sitting cross-legged, some are lying on their stomachs or lying flat, and some are standing or hugging each other.
The firelight cannot reach the end of the rock wall, and there seems to be no end to these dead bones...
"Little Dao Master, I think we should have been deceived." From Cao Li's voice, it can be heard that he is very scared now.
Jiang Wuji climbed down the ladder and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"The bandit leader is talking about the tomb, but there shouldn't be so many sacrifices in the tomb. If I guessed correctly, this should be a murderous tomb!"
As more and more dead bones were found in the rock wall, Cao Li's voice began to tremble.
"What is the evil tomb? Is it related to evil spirits?" Jiang Wuji asked while looking down.
"I just heard other people say this." Cao Li swallowed and continued.
"When some powerful nobles are building a cemetery, if they encounter bad weather or the tomb collapses repeatedly, they will choose to bury living people in the ground as foundation stones and lay piles.
Ensure that the coffin will last forever and the tomb will not fall down."
Cao Li's words made Jiang Wuji's scalp feel tight.
This kind of thing is completely feudal superstition, and it is the poor and powerless people who are persecuted in the end.
It's just that if this matter is placed in this world, there may be another explanation...
For some reason, Jiang Wuji suddenly felt a little sorry for Master Qiu. It was really not worth living in this world for a person like him.
…
After climbing down the rope ladder for about as long as a cup of tea, the rope under my feet was no longer soft, but was replaced by uneven stone bricks.
Jiang Wuji took off the rope he had prepared in advance, wrapped one end around the ladder, and the other around his wrist.
Although you can't see clearly, you can feel that this underground space is very large. If you lose your way, it's no joke.
Maybe the female corpse with little feet could do something about it, but the female corpse with small feet was a female corpse with small feet. It was impossible for him to leave nothing behind and put everything on the female corpse with small feet.
"Let's take a look around first."
At Jiang Wuji's suggestion, the three began to explore aimlessly in this dark space.
As the scope of exploration became larger and larger, some burned out candles and oil lamps appeared one after another, as well as some scabbed blood stains.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the edge of the fire!
"Plop! Lala..."
Something was thrown to the ground, making a sound of bones breaking.
Immediately afterwards, a sound like spitting came out. Although it was very harsh, you could still vaguely distinguish it as a person's voice and a person's groan!
Jiang Wuji tightened the steel knife in his hand and walked towards the direction of the sound.
Not long after, a monster with a black body and bulging eyes appeared in the flickering firelight.
"Evil!!!"
Cao Li's blood suddenly surged, and he raised his seven-ring sword and was about to rush forward to chop him, but Jiang Wuji shouted to stop him.
"Wait! This is not evil!"
Cao Li looked at Jiang Wuji and said with some surprise: "Little Taoist, what are you talking about? Zombies are also evil."
"This is not a zombie either..."
"Um?"
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu, who was frowning, said, "This seems to be... a horse bandit."
"Horse bandit?!"
Cao Li put away his seven-ring sword and looked at the so-called "evil spirit" again, and found that the clothes on the other party were very similar to those of the horse bandits last night.
Those horse bandits have been to the tomb, so it is not surprising that horse bandits appear here.
But why did the horse bandit in front of him become like a man or a ghost? It doesn't look like he was born from starvation.
Just when the three of them were still sizing up the horse bandit in front of them, a black shadow suddenly fell down, pierced directly through the horse bandit's chest and abdomen with a pop, and dragged him into the darkness.
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground that was submerged in the darkness, Cao Li asked with a pale face: "Xiao Dao Master... what was that just now?"
At this time, Jiang Wuji's face was also ugly.
Because he saw that thing just now, and he even saw it very clearly.
