This was the first time I met Zhou Xiaoshe. He was about the same age as me, and this guy who kept claiming to be the chief disciple of Maoshan actually came down from Maoshan.
It's just that other Maoshan disciples exorcise evil spirits and promote righteousness, but he, the chief disciple, is a professional grave digger. According to him, the most powerful one was digging a Ming Dynasty tomb with his master, because there were really no burial objects.
, in the end, they even stripped off the tomb owner’s clothes and the shame cloth (the ancient name for underwear).
Of course, this is all a story for later...
My eyes fell on Zhou Xiaoshe's face. This guy had a playful smile and said nothing serious. He had followed us all the way and Dahuang and I didn't even notice him. This shows that this guy is quite capable.
Zhou Xiaoshe smiled at Li Wenhai and said, "You guys, some great professors, are going down. I happen to be on the trail and I'm thinking, why don't we get together and go down together so we can take care of you."
Li En responded: "Huh, whoever wants to team up with you will tell you that you are not a good person."
"Hey, beauty, it hurts your heart to say that. Xiaodao can guarantee you that Xiaodao is definitely a good person, but it's hard to say whether he is serious or not..."
"Humph, Mrs. Wang is selling melons and boasting. Chen Huafan, let me ask you, will you take us down?"
I touched my nose, not to mention that I was quite conflicted. If Zhou Xiaoshe hadn't come out halfway, I would have rejected Li En and the others right away. But that's not possible now. If I agreed, this Zhou Xiaoshe with unknown origins would
Xiaoshe, I must have led them down there...
At this moment, I unconsciously remembered what my damn dad said before.
He said, "Looking for the dragon's cave, there is no turning back after entering the battle. Don't come down to this cave at any time, unless I am capable enough, otherwise, no one will collect my body after I die."
I unconsciously took out another Plum Blossom cigarette. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoshe asked me for one and even lit it for me after asking.
Just like that, two people who had never met before, with opposite ages, one handsome and one ugly (the handsome one must be me), started talking face to face at close range. Although they didn't speak much, there was a spark in their eyes.
It is indispensable to look at each other.
Li Wenhai and the others on the side were also surprisingly silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became very quiet.
After a long time, I took the last drag of my cigarette, then stepped on the ground hard, and said: "Entering the cave depends on destiny, and it is not appropriate to have too many people. Professor Li, there are seven of you in total. Let three of you go back and leave four."
Let’s go together.”
Li Wenhai and his party plus his daughter, there are seven people in total. If you include me and Zhou Xiaoshe, there are nine people. When entering the robber cave, fewer people are better than more people, and odd numbers are the most taboo, so let Li Wenhai go over.
It would be safest to call three people back.
When I say this, Li Wenhai is okay, but his daughter Li En is not happy about it.
"Why can only four of us go? We came together, so we have to go together." Li Endao.
Facing Li En's gaze, I did not dodge and said word by word: "If you want to go down the hole, you have to listen to me!"
Zhou Xiaoshe hurriedly stepped forward to be the peacemaker: "Beauty, listen to this old man, we have to go down a hole. It's not good if there are too many people."
Li En muttered a few words, but as soon as Li Wenhai heard my promise, he immediately asked his daughter to go back with the other two students.
But her daughter was unwilling to do anything, so Li Wenhai had no choice but to sigh and let Li En stay.
Just like this, the number of people who went down to the cave must be good. The other student who was called back by Li Wenhai kicked me a few times angrily before retreating unwillingly.
I don't care at all. Those who have studied a lot in school and read tomb robbing novels seriously have no idea what real tomb robbing is like. The people lying in the tomb are all dead people.
A dead man is as fierce as a tiger, how can it be so easy for us living men to get in?
Everything was ready, but Rhubarb suddenly started barking.
I quickly patted Da Huang on the head and comforted me: "Good boy, let's go down and take a look, just once."
"Woof woof woof..."
Rhubarb was still barking, and it looked like he was determined not to let me go down. After all, the last time he and I came down, he was the one who dragged me back.
I knelt down and rubbed Dahuang's head lovingly, and whispered: "I really want to know what kind of strange things are there in this place that can make my grandfather and ghost dad go crazy and disappear. Dahuang, this
I won’t take you with me for once, just follow them back to the village and wait for me to come back.”
Rhubarb has been with me since he was born, and it has been almost ten years. During these ten years, it has been dependent on me. I eat meat and it eats bones. I drink soup and it swallows dregs. But this time, I don’t plan to take it with me.
Taking risks, it’s time to spend its old age peacefully...
I patted the rhubarb a few times to signal it to go back.
Dahuang turned his head three times with one step, his eyes were wet, and I felt an indescribable heavyness in my heart when I saw it.
I turned around and didn't look at it. I only heard the humming of rhubarb gradually fade away and disappear...
A few minutes later, I glanced around Zhou Xiaoshe and Li Wenhai. Everything was ready. I looked at Li Wenhai and their two students, their faces were very excited. Then I looked at Zhou Xiaoshe, who was mumbling something.
, I guess I don’t know what I’m thinking about...
"Let's go." I shouted.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother." Li Wenhai smiled.
I didn't respond and grabbed the flashlight to lead the way.
It was so dark inside the cave that you couldn't see your fingers. Everyone wore masks and held flashlights, walking carefully. Their feet were covered with green algae, so they had to be extra careful every step they took.
I said without looking back: "Little Taoist priest, how long have you been squatting up there?"
"Hey, it didn't take long, only half a month."
"You are quite patient. You can squat in a pit for half a month."
"It's nothing. After three years of searching for dragons and ten years of fixing acupoints, I just squatted for half a month. I've already made a lot of money. Old man, what did you see when you came here last time?"
"I saw something I didn't want to see..." I tightened my mask and shouted to Li Wenhai behind me: "Be careful where you step, don't step on anything."
Li Wenhai hurriedly said hello, but his attention at the moment was completely around the cave. He flashed the flashlight several times, and the expression on his face became more and more interested. For him, after spending most of his life doing archeology, he should
This is my first time to explore a tomb in an underground cave...
I calmly took out a stone pendant hanging around my neck. According to my damn dad, this thing was left by my grandfather. Later he gave it to me. I have worn it for more than ten years now.
I touched the cold stone pendant, squinted my eyes and said, "Heavenly officials give blessings, and there are no taboos."
Ten minutes later, we had reached the depths of the cave, and this was exactly where I was dragged up by Rhubarb the last time I came.
I glanced around and found that this place was still the same as the last time I came here. The only difference was that there were more things underground...
Suddenly, a panicked cry sounded. I heard it seemed to be the sissy named Dahu.
I looked back, and sure enough I found the big tiger staring at his feet, his face turned pale with fear.
"No, no, that's not good...teaching professor...I seem to have stepped on something..."
Dahu yelled in a trembling voice, and I looked up with my flashlight, only to see a long-dead body lying at his feet.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, I could clearly see that the corpse's eyes were wide open, and that his body was covered with bugs, and even the facial features on his face had bugs squirming back and forth. I even saw his
There were many densely packed small holes on his head, and many bugs crawled in through his nose and eyes, and then crawled out of those small holes. The scene was extremely disgusting...
Li En couldn't help but retched a few times at first. Those densely packed insects were undoubtedly extremely lethal to the girls.
Zhou Xiaoshe watched with interest for a while. He stared at the corpse and said, "Old Tie, this corpse is rotten and covered with green mucus. Could it be..."
I said: "Yes, he was bitten to death by those black-headed snakes. A few years ago, we had an outsider. His death was just like this corpse. His body was full of venom. Be careful not to touch the corpse. And
, let alone step on a black-headed snake..."
I finished speaking, and suddenly, the big tiger spoke again.
But once, his expression suddenly changed!
Because I saw that right now under his feet, he was stepping on the baby of a black-headed snake...
