Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 302
Looking at the hundreds of corpses with long hair and clothes in the dry pit, running black and yellow in the water, the fat man smacked his teeth and said, "Such a big pit should not be regarded as opening a coffin, and candles can't be opened." Forget it. We agreed to touch Captain Jin, but now we have to touch the bones..."

Hu Bayi unloaded the backpack beside him, and took off the bulky and thick cotton coat, leaving only the sweater. He moved his arms and said to everyone: "Before it's too cold, take off the coat first. Wait until you start sweating before taking it off, or you will catch a cold."

Following Hu Bayi's example, several other people put their backpacks and clothes aside, carried shovels and flashlights, and were ready to start working.Hu Bayi briefly arranged the task, he and Xiao Ran went down to the pit to send the bones up, while Xu Er, who was relatively thin, and the fat man, who was too heavy, stayed on top to help.

Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi tied ropes around their waists, and dug some grooves on the wall of the pit as they walked down, using them as temporary ladders.It wasn't until they were completely in the pit that Xiao Ran realized what a huge project they were facing.

Looking from above the pit, there was a certain amount of visual error, and the sky had already darkened, so I felt that there were just some bones piled up in the pit.But now when I went down to the edge of the pit, I found that these bones were mixed with the mud and water plants at the bottom of the pool, and they had piled up like a hill.The feet of these corpses were all chained to the depths of the pit. No wonder they would float in the pool when there was water, and even their hair looked like water plants.

The only good thing is that these bones have been rotten for at least hundreds of years. Although it looks disgusting, there is no smell of rotten meat, maggots, and rotting corpses that destroy the senses, etc., and pig bones, beef bones, Dead branches are not much different.

Hu Bayi took a deep breath in his fist, picked up the shovel and said, "Brother Xiao, let's start!"

Xiao Ran nodded, and he and Hu Bayi waved a shovel to search through the piles of bones.At the same time, Fatty and Xu Er were also trying their best to shovel the soil at the edge of the pit, trying to dig a gap as low as possible so that they could throw those bones on top.

Fortunately, the depth of the pit itself is only five or six meters. Fatty and Xu Er tried their best to shovel and smash the edge of the pit. Most of the broken soil was shoveled aside by them, but a lot fell into the pit .

"Fatty! Watch out! Are you going to bury Brother Xiao and me alive to keep these dead bones as companions? Are there any distant relatives of yours here?"

The pit was full of dust, and a lump of soil almost fell on Hu Bayi's head.Hu Bayi quickly jumped to the side, protesting dissatisfiedly.The fat man smiled "hehe" when he saw this, and said, "Look at their hair is so long, maybe there is your little lover from the previous life in them, if you are really buried here, it is God's will..."

"Bah, bah, bah! You shut up and work hard!" Hu Bayi shouted.

While digging through the bones, Xiao Ran's ears were not idle.As Hu Bayi said, the black blind man is not blind. He must have a plan for jumping into this former pool and sending Xu Er away.But after listening to it for a long time, there was no sound of ancient objects, only the daily bickering of those artifacts.

On the other hand, Suohun Dinglingzhu said in a rare way: "Bayan, the souls of these corpses are still there, but the resentment is very heavy, and the voice is really... annoying."

Ever since Xiao Ran descended into this pit, he felt restless for a while, even in the Ghost King Temple just now, or even the place full of human heads under Xia Niang Temple.Presumably, it was because of the resentment of these hundreds of corpses that made him feel uneasy.

Strange to say, it seems that since he established contact with the Soul-locking Lingzhu, although he could not hear the voice of the soul clearly like the Soul-locking Lingzhu, he gradually began to sense the restlessness of the soul.

He walked to the north wall of the pit, dug a groove with the tip of a shovel, put the Yin-Yang Mirror upright, and said, "Master Dao, can you handle the grievances of more than 100 water ghosts?"

"Do...definitely...the good people mean to let me save them? It's easy to say, but it's the second time for such a large-scale ritual ceremony. The first time is actually in that old forest. Those are good souls. It's much easier to just seek salvation by myself. This time, they are all resentful souls, I'm afraid... to..."

Yi Jiugui smiled badly and said, "Look! The stinky Taoist is begging again! You can't start work if you don't have food!"

"That's easy to say!"

After being told by Yajiu Kuo, Xiao Ran immediately understood the meaning of Yin Yang Mirror, turned his head and shouted to Xu Er: "Xu Er, get me a box of canned fruit, a bag of compressed biscuits, and canned pork from Fat Brother." One and canned mutton, and another piece of jerky. Wrap them all in paper! There is too much soil under here, we have to eat it later.”

Xu Er responded and went to the fat man who was cleaning up the mound behind to ask for supplies. After a short while, the fat man handed the canned meat jerky and biscuits wrapped in oiled paper to the edge of the pit, and smiled at Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, are you planning to go to the pit next time?" Let’s start a business, or do you want to engage in feudal superstition?”

Xiao Ran walked to the edge of the pit, raised his hand to take the things and said, "I'm afraid of bumping into ghosts if I walk too much at night, besides, brother Hu and I have already entered this ghost pit, if I don't handle it like this, my back will feel a little chilly... Fat brother, what is behind you!"

Xiao Ran's expression changed suddenly, and his voice raised a lot. The fat man staggered in fright and almost fell into the pit.It wasn't until he saw Xu Er holding back his smile that he realized that he was being played by Xiao Ran.

"What are you laughing at! Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, Fatty is not timid, but highly vigilant! This brother Xiao..."

Listening to the fat man in the pit trying to save his face, Xiao Ran walked to Hu Bayi with a smile, and asked for three more cigarettes and matches.Hu Bayi looked at the yin and yang mirror on the wall of the pit, and remembered that when he was in Ganggang Yingzi, the yin and yang mirror had played the role of breaking barriers and saving souls, so he stopped cleaning up and waited for Xiao Ran To set up the super table.

Xiao Ran dug another hole under the yin and yang mirror, and placed canned fruit and compressed biscuits respectively, and the dried beef, pork, and mutton in the middle were placed in the shape of Chinese characters, representing the three animals.Three more cigarettes were inserted in front of the yin-yang mirror to light, and the blue-white smoke rose slowly from the pit.

"Daozhang, let's start. These three animals are already beyond the standard. If any dead ghost doesn't know what to do, please tell me, and I will give him a physical supernatural power." Xiao Ran said.

"Ha! What a forceful rescue! Good people are indeed lenient and strict, and then I will hand it over to the poor, and I will rescue them across the river!"

Yin Yang Jing's voice was very brisk, and although he misunderstood what Xiao Ran said, there was no difference in meaning.The few people beside them also temporarily stopped their work, waiting for Xiao Ran to announce the end of consciousness, they should take a rest.

Hu Bayi flicked a cigarette to the fat man above, and said, "Let's join in the fun, drink some incense, take a break before starting work."

A burst of ups and downs chanting sutras began to spread into Xiao Ran's mind.The tops of the three cigarettes kept flickering, as if someone was actually smoking them.
