Chapter 163: Skeleton Patrol, Yin Soldiers Exploring the Path
"Zila——kachi——"
"Move over, pull over."
Zhou Shi and Yu Heng stood against the wall, closed the fire folding box, and blended into the darkness.
Are there guards in this corridor? Since they can make sounds, they must be ghosts...
Zhou Shi quickly took out Duke Hu and sprinkled the Yin wine on the two of them to cover up the Yang energy.
Wait, supposedly at a distance where the sound can be heard, the evil ghost should pounce upon it as soon as it touches Yang Qi. Why is it still moving slowly?
Yin Qi eroded, and Yu Heng's teeth chattered up and down, and the sound he made was no better than the abnormal sound that was getting closer and closer.
Zhou Shi made up his mind and said softly: "Conquer 'them'."
"Ah?"
"Wait for my command - come on!"
Yu Heng suddenly swung the burial shovel and hit the target, making a crisp sound of "ding, ding, clang".
He himself was also surprised that the hand felt so light, and it didn't look like it hit the human body at all.
Zhou Shi raised the fire folding piece and came forward to check it.
"Not a human, not a ghost."
He stood up, holding a piece in his hand——
"It's a skeleton."
——Bones.
Yu Heng leaned over by the firelight and saw a bunch of bones wrapped in rags scattered on the ground, which happened to be the skeletons of two people.
The abnormal sound just now was the sound of bones colliding with each other and rubbing against the ground.
"Can skeletons move?"
"Maybe they were driven by the corpses buried nearby that turned into skeletons. Haven't we seen it before?"
He was referring to the floating corpse controlled by Lady Xu and the walking corpse in the Yichunyuan corpse fraud case.
Is it man-made, or is there such a defense mechanism in this tomb?
"They...are you."
Zhou Shi looked at Yu Heng who said this in shock.
"Ah, I mean they are just like you." Yu Heng pulled out a half-burned candle from the rag, "They are all tomb robbers."
The candle used to confirm whether the tomb can breathe... is indeed a standard equipment for tomb robbers.
"It seems that they were tomb robbers. After entering this tomb, they didn't know what happened and turned into skeletons. They can only wander in the dark corridors forever and ever, looking for uninvited guests like them..."
This guy might as well be a storyteller... Zhou Shi rubbed his hands and said: "It seems that this is the defense mechanism of the tomb itself, turning the tomb robbers who died inside into guards. I wonder if there will be more ahead."<
/p>
At this point, he glanced at Yu Heng, who was still studying a femur.
"Didn't you say that this tomb has not been touched?"
Yu Heng threw away the bones and said, "That's what Mu Ye said. It's inevitable that his eyes will slip sometimes. And since this tomb turns grave robbers into guards, there must be no living person who can run out to report the news."
Indeed... Zhou Shi let go of his doubts that "this is a trap set by Yu Heng" and continued to move forward.
After walking another hundred steps or so, a wall blocked their way and blocked the corridor.
"Hey, there's no way."
Zhou Shi went up to take a closer look and found that the wall was entirely made of earth.
"It's not the wall, it's the landslide that cut off the corridor." He said, "80% of it was the hole dug by the two men just now."
If we didn't have a burial shovel, we probably wouldn't be able to get out... He didn't say these words.
"I'll open the passage." Yu Heng showed out the burial shovel, but was stopped by Zhou Shi.
"Follow the procedure, let's investigate the other side of the wall first." He was still worried about his recklessness when entering the robbery cave.
"It's so blocked, how can we detect——oh?"
Yu Heng was stunned, and saw Zhou Shi rubbing his head, taking out a piece of hair and blowing it to the ground, and recited a mantra.
The hair twisted and burrowed into the earth wall like an earthworm.
"This seems to be a witchcraft method?" He felt that Shopkeeper Zhou was really good at surprising people.
Zhou Shi was not in the mood to answer, and used all his strength to control his hair to burrow into the earthen wall. He had just learned how to become a soldier with his hair cut off from Mr. Mo, and even after practicing for an entire night, he could barely control one hair.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he tried hard to see clearly the aura on the other side of the earthen wall through his hair.
After a while, he nodded and said: "Excavation——"
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and a piece of earth was thrown behind Yu Heng.
With just one shovel, a square and square passage appeared on the earth wall, big enough for two people to enter side by side.
"This guy's methods are really powerful..." Zhou Shi secretly sighed, holding a fire stick to lead the way.
"Are we going up?"
"Well, it should be to prevent groundwater from pouring into the tomb, so the corridor was built to slope upward." Zhou Shi replied, "This means we are on the right track."
Soon, a double-open bronze door appeared in front of you.
The bronze surface is mottled, but the ferocious animal head carved on the door knocker is still very eye-catching. This is the door leading to the tomb.
"Damn it, I can't push it open." Yu Heng tried to open the door with brute force.
Zhou Shi reluctantly stopped him and said: "It's useless. After the tomb is completed and the body is placed, the workers will use a rope to pull a stone slab through the door and let the stone block the door from the inside. So..."<
/p>
"So we should pull it open, right?" Yu Heng grabbed the door knocker held by the beast's head and pulled hard, successfully "snatching" the door knocker.
"This thing is worth at least a hundred taels."
"Ah...how should I open it?"
Zhou Shi didn't say anything, but softly called a name.
At the same time, Yu Heng felt a chill on his back and quickly turned his body, holding the corpse shovel horizontally in front of him.
And all he saw was the dark corridor.
What's going on? Are you overreacting? But I clearly felt it just now...
He turned around and saw a woman wearing a red hijab standing in front of him.
"Ah!"
Why is there a bride in this corridor?
It’s a ghost!
Before he could attack with a shovel, he was interrupted by Zhou Shi: "It's one of our own!"
Yu Heng took a few steps back and distanced himself from the ghost bride.
"Xiao Lin, go behind the door and open it."
Xiao Lin turned around and blended into the bronze door with all his grace.
Then, there was a sound from the other side of the door. The dust that had accumulated for centuries fell off the door, and it slowly opened.
"Thank you for your hard work, please."
However, Yu Heng has not recovered from the shock.
"Then, is that... a ghost?"
"Yes. Xiao Lin, say hello to Mr. Yu."
The Ghost Bride nodded slightly, her two bony palms still held on her lower abdomen.
"Real or false..."
"Don't yell, this is my secret soldier." Zhou Shi said, "Xiao Lin, please step back first. I'll call you if anything happens."
Xiao Lin walked towards Zhou Shi and disappeared when he touched his body, as if he had merged into his body.
"Can you borrow Yin soldiers?" Yu Heng knew that borrowing Yin soldiers was the most powerful method in the Yin Sect, but he was more surprised than that.
What surprised him was that Zhou Shi's dark soldiers were actually ghosts!
He had never heard of Yin soldiers, and he had even seen them once with his own eyes, but they were all dead soldiers, ordinary ghosts. How could someone turn evil and terrifying ghosts into Yin soldiers?
"Hey, are you coming in yet?"
Yu Heng quickly followed up, but he was making calculations in his mind.
If Zhou Shi really has this kind of strength, maybe his plan will have to change...
