I suddenly thought of the monkey, and was startled. I asked Ban Cuntou if he had seen him. But he shook his head and said that he only saw a white shadow after he came in, and he didn't find anything else.
Now is not the time to be surprised at this tomb, the key is to find the monkey. Ban Cuntou and I walked side by side into the main tomb in the middle. The inside is larger than the side chamber outside. There is a dark wooden coffin on the central coffin bed.
There were several corpses lying around.
It was expected to see a coffin inside, but what was strange was that the coffin was tied up with several chains, but they had already been broken.
The two of us looked at each other and tied the coffin with chains. This was the first time I had seen such an arrangement. What was its special significance? I looked at Ban Tou and focused his attention on the bones, and asked him if he had any
What discovery? In the end, he said something surprising. These people are all tomb robbers like us, but we just don’t know why they died here.
I saw a cloth bag next to a corpse, so I walked over and opened it to take a look. Sure enough, it was filled with tomb robbing tools such as pry bars and hammers, which further proved the identities of these people. "What do you think?
How did many people die?" I asked him.
Ban Cun glanced at the black coffin and grinned. "Hey, this place looks a little evil."
I understand what he means. He must think that there is something unclean in the coffin. In fact, I also have this idea in my mind. Tying the coffin with chains is definitely not to prevent tomb robbers. Since it is not to prevent outsiders, it is to prevent tomb robbers.
The things inside, dead things don't need to be like this, so there is only one explanation left, it turns out there is a living thing inside.
We walked to the coffin and took a look, and found that there were twenty-four holes made by coffin nails around the coffin. This density was a bit abnormal, as a normal coffin only has eight holes.
There are only a dozen nails at most, but twenty-four are too many.
Now, both from a practical point of view and from a logical point of view, we are told that this black coffin is very problematic. I say it is better for us to provoke it less. We are not here to scrape the land for the purpose of fighting. What is here?
None of this stuff has anything to do with us. Let’s get out of here as soon as we find the monkey.
Ban Cun nodded, but when we were about to leave, a muffled sound suddenly came from the coffin, as if something was hitting the coffin wall hard.
"Bang, bang..." The sounds became louder and faster each time. I heard sweat on my forehead. I turned to look at Ban Cun Tou and found that there was no nervous look on his face. I couldn't help but secretly praise him.
This person who has served as a special forces soldier is different. Even his psychological quality is much stronger than others.
"What's going on? Let's run?" I said. But as soon as I finished speaking, we suddenly heard intermittent shouting coming from inside the coffin.
"Help, help, Tiger Head..."
It turned out to be the sound of a monkey. I was shocked. I didn't know how he got into the coffin, but we couldn't care less at this time and hurriedly ran over and opened the lid of the coffin.
The person lying inside was indeed a monkey. At this time, he was closing his eyes tightly, knocking on the coffin walls on both sides with both hands, and kept mumbling in his mouth. The clothes on his body were in tatters, and he was covered with blood stains, like
It was caught with the claws of wild animals.
We were about to lift him out of the coffin, but at this moment, a white shadow suddenly came out of the darkness next to me and rushed directly towards my face.
I didn't expect this situation at all, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment, but Ban Cuntou beside me was already prepared. He shouted "I've been waiting for you for a long time", and I saw him suddenly raising his hand and holding a dagger.
He stabbed the thing hard and then nailed it to the coffin board.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of that thing out and about.
Shocked, I quickly got up from the ground. Only then did I realize that this thing that had always been considered a "ghost" was not a ghost at all, but a very weird-looking creature.
It looks like an ape, with long white hair all over its body. It is only about one meter tall, with long legs and arms, sharp and long claws, a pair of eyes as red as blood, and two fangs at the top and bottom exposed outside its lips.
It looks very ugly and vicious.
"Mom, what the hell is this?" I couldn't help but shudder as soon as I saw those bright red eyes.
"This is charm." Ban Buntou said.
I said no, Mei looks like this? This is too ugly. Isn’t the legendary Mei a kind of very lovable ghost? He often transforms into a woman, with beautiful flowers and endless charm.
Ban Buntou curled his lips and said that they were all legends after all, and how many of them were true. This thing was indeed a charm. The sound it made was like the sound of a woman crying. It moved quickly and came and went invisible. It was a kind of ghost.
Weird stuff between creatures.
Regardless of whether it was a ghost or a ghost, it finally couldn't run away. I picked up a pry bar from the side and smashed it several times to kill it. This thing is a disaster if it is left here. I don't know that it has already caused harm here.
How many lives have been lost? It is estimated that the pile of bones we just saw were the evil done by it.
Ban Cun Tou and I moved the monkey out. He didn't even wake up when there was such a big noise here. He kept mumbling something, but he couldn't understand it.
"He may be too frightened. We have to get him out quickly. We can't stay here any longer," Ban Boutou said.
We carried him to the exit, but how to get up became a problem. I looked at Ban Cun Tou, but he smiled, took out a spray gun and fired three shots at the entrance of the hole. After a while, a rope hung from it.
When I got down, I tied the rope around the monkey's waist, and then climbed up.
After returning to the ground, we didn't dare to stay here any longer. The fat man picked up the monkey on his back and we quickly rushed to the other side of the ridge.
After about half an hour, we finally came out of the ghost ridge, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn’t expect that there were some evil things in that small ridge. Fortunately, there was no big trap. Although the monkey passed out.
, but I think the problem shouldn't be big, he will wake up naturally after he has slept enough.
After leaving Lingzi and walking for more than 20 minutes, we found two villages connected together. There is only one road between them. The place here is relatively remote and the roads are all dirt. However, it is not difficult to walk even if it is not raining.
.
We didn't stay here longer, and went straight through the village. The deeper we went, the higher the terrain became. About two o'clock in the morning, we finally saw the rushing river, which is the Xiaoshui River. Wang Kui
It is said that you can reach Daoxian directly from this river, but our destination is not Daoxian, but the deeper Nanling, which is why we choose to take the water route.
We stopped by the river to rest. The monkey still showed no sign of waking up, but his mood had stabilized, at least he no longer talked about those nonsense.
After waiting for more than two hours, and it was just after the third watch, we saw a faint light appearing on the upper reaches of the river, which became clearer and clearer as time went by.
Not long after, a ship about ten meters long stopped in front of us. It looked like a cargo ship, with only a single floor. The cargo hold was covered with long wooden boards, turning it into a very wide deck. The owner of the ship was a four-story man.
A middle-aged man in his teens with dark skin greeted us warmly when he saw us.
Ban Cuntou said that the attitude of the ship owner was entirely based on money. The price we rented the ship for was not low, and it was enough for the owner to carry freight for several days. How could his attitude be bad?
We got on the ship. There was a place specially designed for people to live in the cabin. There were three rooms, one large, two small, and the small one could only sleep one person, so it was left to A Xue and Wang Kui. Fatty and I lived in the big one.
This boss is definitely not a particular person. The place where he lives is in a mess. The small beds are like dog kennels and exude a musty and stinky smell. The fat man has sharp eyes and even took out a few pairs of smelly socks from under one of the beds.
, this is much more serious than athlete's foot, and it was so disgusting that several of us almost vomited.
After a long night of tossing, we were all very tired. I helped the monkey to lie down on a bed. Then I looked at the place where I was sleeping. I simply threw the quilt to the ground and just lay on the bed with my clothes on.
Above. The weather has gradually warmed up now, the cabin is well sealed, and it is not very cold lying on the bare deck.
Just when I was a little dazed in my sleep, I suddenly felt someone shaking my arm. When I opened my eyes, I saw the fat man squatting in front of my bed and blinking at me. When I woke up, the fat man grinned.
He smiled and said to me in a low voice: "Little prince, get up quickly, something is wrong with the mud monkey."
I was shocked and hurriedly sat up. I immediately saw the monkey opposite me sitting on the edge of the bed, staring motionlessly at us. His eyes were dull, but there was a weird smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. The scalp of those who looked at it was numb.
"When did he start acting like this?" I asked the fat man.
"It's been like this since you fell asleep. It's been almost an hour. My young prince, do you think the Clay Monkey's head was frightened and turned into a broken back?"
"Screw you, uncle, can you have some integrity and morality and stop saying these disgusting things?"
"Then what do you think is going on?"
"I guess he was holding in his urine."
"This is even more unreliable. He is not a child. How can he not know how to urinate when he has to urinate? Besides, he is so anxious to pee that he wants to see what you do? Do you think you can stop urination?"
"Ivory cannot come out of a dog's mouth, no, a pig's mouth." I cursed, but I also had a strange feeling in my heart. If he was fine, why would he get up and sit there staring in the middle of the night?
