Chapter 60 The Yellow-haired Monkey
060 Chapter 60 Yellow-haired Monkey
When Fatty saw Aning falling, he thought it was a pity, and kept muttering: "Actually, I just love teasing her. Her little appearance is quite fun, and I don't really want to do anything to her. What do you think of her falling?" Yes, it's quite... ugh... it's a pity, it's a pity, but don't tell Xiao Wu yet, he will feel bad if you look back."

The little brother glanced at him coldly, then continued to look around, and the bells around him gradually stopped.

Suddenly, the little brother seemed to have thought of something, and he picked me up in a daze, turned around and walked towards the center of the altar.

When the fat man saw this, he hurriedly asked: "Oh, what's the matter? What did you remember? Say something." He quickly followed the little brother's footsteps.

We arrived at the center of the altar. There was a square stone platform. On the stone platform was a carved bronze tripod. It was not very big. The little brother stood there and looked at it and said, "This is a mechanism." He signaled for the fat man to do it.

After hearing this, the fat man said "Ah" and then looked at the cauldron. He stretched out his hands to support the cauldron and turned around. Hearing a "clack" from his feet not far away, a secret door opened, which was as wide as one person. Rough stone steps appear in front of you, and the passage leads directly to the bottom.

The fat man hurriedly took a photo inside, followed by the little brother who held me in his arms and walked out first. The fat man followed behind and gave us a light.

The road was winding and winding. We walked in the passage for a while. The further we walked in, the higher the temperature around us felt.The fat man asked: "We should be under the mass grave now, but it's getting hotter and hotter."

After walking for a while, there was a green brick wall in front of me. The little brother slowly put me down and let the fat man hold me. After the little brother stretched out his right hand and touched the wall, he touched a brick. Suddenly he exerted force and pushed the brick away from the wall. He pulled it out and carefully placed the brick on the ground. After checking that there was no mechanism or anything like that, he immediately handed it over to the fat man for further processing.

The little brother helped me back and took me back. The fat man walked forward, rolling up his arms and sleeves, as if he was preparing for a big fight.

The fat man first looked at the brick wall, gestured at the position and angle, then began to move his arms and shoulders, cleared his throat, strengthened his belief, and then began to slam into the wall with all his strength, shouting He said: "Let's go!" The brick wall was knocked to pieces by him in two or three blows.

The fat man supported me, and the younger brother entered the stone room first and had a brief look, then went to the entrance of the cave and picked me up.

There is no decoration inside this stone chamber. There is a square vertical well in the center of the stone chamber that leads to a deeper place below. There is no water below.

The stone chamber next door has collapsed due to the fire outside. The fire outside is quite fierce. I am afraid that this stone chamber will not last long. The little brother looked at the vertical well and found that the well had a slight slope and went downwards.

They looked at each other. The younger brother got into the well first, holding on to the edge of the well, and asked the fat man to stuff me into the well entrance. The younger brother hugged my legs. The fat man held on to me first and asked the younger brother to let go. The fat man slowly Then he sent me inside, and when he saw that it was almost done, the little brother shouted: "Let go." With a "swish", the little brother took me to slide down first, and the fat man waited for a while and slid down.

The mouth of the well slid down to a flat piece of ground. The moment the boy landed smoothly, he let go of my legs, turned around, caught me, and quickly led me to the side. Not long after, the fat man let out an "ouch" and fell down. On the ground we just avoided.

The fat man stood up slowly and said in surprise: "Damn it, what kind of place is this?"

The little brother looked around and found that there were many complicated wells around, and said: "This is the drainage well of the ancient tomb, part of the drainage system."

The little brother took a photo and said to the fat man: "Look, this shaft has been blocked by the collapsed rocks. The top of the shaft should be under the open space in the mass grave."

The fat man also looked around and asked: "Then what should we do now? Wherever we go, there are holes everywhere."

The little brother shook his head and said to him: "I have an impression, but I'm not sure. You take care of her first. I'll go take a look." The little brother handed me over to the fat man and went to find the way alone.

The little brother must have remembered something. He checked several most likely wellheads and found that one of them had a mark carved by himself on the edge of the wellhead. To be on the safe side, the little brother said hello to the fat man and went in first to explore the path.

After a while, the fat man also started to yawn, but he still didn't let down his guard because he wanted to take care of me. After waiting for almost half an hour, the little brother finally got out of the marked horizontal wellhead and decided to take this route. .

Then he was thinking about how to transport me there. The fat man thought for a while and said "Ah": "I have a sleeping bag. Just put the girl in it and we can drag her over." Then he took out the sleeping bag from the bag. , the two of them stuffed me in. The younger brother went into the well first to take me in, and the fat man followed behind, one pulling and the other pushing. The well had some slopes and extended upwards. There were several turns on the road, and it was probably After walking for a quarter of an hour, I vaguely saw the entrance of the cave right in front of me. I walked a little further, and the little brother suddenly stopped. He jumped out of the hole first and asked the fat man to slowly send me out. He caught me and followed me. Fatty comes down by himself.

This is a passage. There are stone steps extending upward in the passage. They pulled me out of the sleeping bag first. The fat man put away the sleeping bag. The younger brother picked me up and continued walking along the stone steps. It took 10 minutes. , a hole appeared in front of me.

There were some vines hanging down at the entrance of the cave, like a door curtain. The fat man hurriedly helped to push them open. When we walked out of the cave entrance, there were many such vines hanging on the walls of the cave. There were some small caves above, but At most it's a hole.There were some large stone tables in the cave, with some bottles, cans, small boxes and the like on them. Fatty Dian Dian ran over to see if there was anything worth taking away.

The little brother looked around and found nothing unusual, so he put me on the edge of a stone platform so that I could lean on it. He supported me with one hand and reached out with the other hand to touch the back of my head. Then I felt a bit of pain. When I saw it, my brother saw that there was a round bump as big as half a table tennis ball on the back of his head. It was quite a bump.

Then he opened my collar again and looked at the place where I was pinched on my neck. I could clearly see the big handprints bleeding under the skin. The boy sighed and asked me to lean on the stone platform and take out the small bag from my bag. Take the medicine bag, find the ointment and apply it gently on me.

The fat man was holding some small objects in his hands. He glanced sideways at my injuries and said, "Hey, my grandson must have pinched me. This was a very cruel hand. Look at the little neck of our sister that was pinched. There are big fingerprints all over it." Oh, girl, are you okay?"

The little brother applied medicine to me seriously, without any expression but just shook his head.The fat man sighed and said: "It's okay." He was stunned for a while and then said: "You said this place is quite big and there is nothing good. This whole place is just a big pit, just this little gadget." He said I picked up a small box, blew some dirt on it, and felt it was in good condition, so I put it in my bag.

After looking around for a while, the fat man asked the little brother: "Hey, last time you came here, did you find anything good here?"

The younger brother said calmly: "I don't know."

The fat man asked again: "Then why did you come here last time?"

The younger brother still said calmly: "I don't remember."

The fat man looked at him helplessly and asked: "Then you know how to go from now on, right?" The fat man saw that the little brother didn't respond, and sighed: "You said you don't know anything about this question, I'm so worried, this little brother Wu Zan didn't find it either, the girl was injured again, that..." The fat man saw that the younger brother was only focused on giving me medicine. He looked at my appearance again and sighed: "Sure, you get busy first. I’ll take a look over there.”

The little brother was afraid that I would be in pain, so he gently applied medicine to me. After a while, he applied the medicine, packed the medicine bag, and let me rest here.

The fat man looked around for a while and found that there was nothing to see, so he came back and sat aside.When the little brother saw the fat man coming back, he stood up and continued to look around.

The fat man had nothing to do, so he stood up and came over to look at the handprints on my neck. Suddenly he smelled the smell of the ointment, the faint floral fragrance. The fat man muttered with confusion on his face: "Why does this smell seem to be somewhere?" I've smelled it before, where did it come from?" He frowned and thought for a moment, then moved closer, leaning forward, closing his eyes, and wrinkled his nose to smell it hard.

At this time, I opened my eyes in a daze and saw the fat man's big face three or four inches in front of me. I unconsciously slapped his face with my hand. Suddenly, he said "woo" With a sound, I put my hand on his big face and pushed him outward.

The fat man quickly stood up, cleared his throat and said to me: "Well, girl, what kind of medicine are you using? I smell this scent and am very familiar with it. Last time I was in Lu Palace, when the group of corpse crickets swarmed up, it seemed like it was... This kind of fragrance is wafting around. I must be smelling this. You must have made it. What kind of medicine are you using? It’s so powerful. The medicine you gave them to treat injuries and detoxify before was probably the same thing."

I just stared at him blankly, and then he asked me: "It seems that there were a lot of red bright spots floating that day. Oh, what are they?"

First, I can't answer questions about Qilin City to people other than my brother, just like I can't tell them about my brother.Secondly, I can’t say it’s all made of my blood. Anyway, it’s really hard for me to speak now, so I’ll just look at him, thinking, if the fat man asks, if I insist on not answering, it will be over soon. Fortunately, it was not Wu Xie who asked this question. It would be troublesome if he got caught.

When the fat man saw that I didn't respond, he winked and made a few faces at me. Seeing that I still didn't respond, he reached out and pinched my face and said, "Mute Zhang, your little mute Zhang is really mute. She is still stupid, why is she ignoring me?" My head felt dizzy and painful, and I didn't dare to move even if I leaned there.

The little brother happened to come back and stood quietly behind him, glaring at him fiercely. When the fat man turned around, he happened to catch that look. He was startled and said, "Ouch," and said, "Why are you walking so silently?" Well, you scared me to death."

The little brother walked towards me, bent down and looked at me, and asked softly: "How are you doing? Are you feeling better?"

My head feels dizzy and hurts, and my neck hurts. Now all I can do is smile and blink.

The fat man took a look and said, "Little girl, you treat him differently. When you see him, you smile and look at your big eyes, blinking."

The little brother asked me: "Can you still walk by yourself?"

I blinked at him, and he gently helped me up and led me slowly toward a cave wall.

Soon, we came to this cave wall. There was a bronze door that was as tall as two people. The door was carved with the same relief paintings that we had seen in photos before, showing many people worshiping the sacred tree.

There is a circular turntable in the center of the door, and there are three rings on the periphery, of different sizes, nested together, with ancient characters engraved on them.The small disk in the center is carved with a human-faced double-bodied snake pattern. The overall shape looks very similar to that of the Nine Palaces and Bagua wheel, but the things on it are different.

The little brother said lightly: "Have you seen it? Here, it should be the mark I left before." As he said that, he pointed to the side of the mechanism to show us. This mark is very similar to the one seen in the undersea tomb. The little brother continued to tell us : "Although we took a detour, we are not far from the main tomb."

The fat man was about to ask something, but the little brother quickly made a gesture of silence. I saw something in the distance coming towards me. It was jumping up and down. The movements were like a human and a monkey. Both the little brother and the fat man stood beside me. Be on guard in front.

After a while, one, two, three, four or five yellow-haired monkeys emerged from nowhere, with strange masks on their faces. They kept approaching us.When the little brother saw that the situation was not good, he pulled out the ancient black gold sword and flew out. When the monsters saw the little brother flying towards him, they began to attack him one after another. The fat man found a few torches from the surroundings and lit them. He left me alone and asked me to stand there without moving, while he rushed out to help with two torches.

That thing was extremely powerful, and the mask on its face was very hard. They surrounded the little brother and the fat man. The little brother and the fat man were holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, looking for an opportunity.

These things seemed to be a little afraid of fire. The little brother and the fat man nodded. Suddenly, the little brother started to attack. The fat man mainly used cover. The little brother first turned his wrist, swung the black gold knife, and hit one of them on the head. The thing staggered and started to shake. Then he turned around and kicked one of them away.The remaining fat man used the torch to push outward, and then the two of them exchanged positions. The younger brother aimed at one and hit it in the chest with the torch. The only one dodged back and was about to pounce on the younger brother again. , the little brother slashed at the face of the one in front of him with a knife, and the mask on its face cracked with a "click". After the mask cracked, this one stopped attacking the little brother and the others, and began to cover his face and hug him. He held his head and struggled painfully. As the mask began to gradually break into pieces, the monkey seemed to have lost its attack power and immediately ran away in panic.

Immediately after, a man rushed up to attack the fat man, but the fat man slashed the mask's face with a knife. Unexpectedly, the strange-faced mask was quite hard, and the knife bounced off. The fat man quickly stabbed him in the face with a torch, scaring him to the point where he jumped. It backed away and when it turned its head, the little brother hurriedly swung the knife and hit it on the back of the head, then kicked it away again.

When the last two saw that this opponent was very fierce, they swung their arms and rushed towards them. The younger brother pulled the fat man behind him, jumped up and struck one of them on the head with a knife, and then slashed the knife towards the mask. , the mask cracked in an instant and began to gradually shatter. Then he turned back and kicked him away. After landing smoothly, he turned around and kicked the other one away.

They took advantage of this and hurriedly ran back to the bronze door. The younger brother reached out and turned the discs from the outside to the inside, clockwise and counterclockwise, just like playing the digital dial of an old telephone. Same, I finally pressed the circle in the center. The moment I pressed it, I heard the sound of gears turning and metal chains rubbing not far away. Then the door clicked and opened a crack on both sides.

The fat man stepped forward and pushed open the door. The little brother pulled me in and the fat man came over and quickly turned around and closed the door.The fat man asked: "What is that?"

The little brother said: "Those are monkeys parasitized by chigus bugs. Those insects are very ancient and can reproduce in the host's body. After the host dies, they will attach themselves to a certain place, waiting for the next host to approach, and then pass through If you parasitize it in some way, knock out or destroy the chigu, the host will regain its sanity. It seems that there are many such things here."

The fat man said in surprise: "It's so evil."

The area of ​​the stone chamber in front of me is not large. There is something like a tree trunk embedded in the center of the stone chamber, with some branches surrounding it.

The fat man took a look and asked, "Is this the giant bronze tree?"

Going further inside, we found a hole on the ground near the tree trunk that led downwards. We shined a light on it and found that it was a hole that went straight up and down, about two meters long. It was not too high, but the line of sight was not high. Well, no idea what's down there.

The little brother went down first to check and found nothing abnormal, so he came back and stood under the hole to pick me up. I sat down by the hole and jumped forward. The little brother caught me and put me down steadily. On the ground, he pulled me and walked in. The fat man said, "Hey, wait for me." Before he got down from the top, he jumped down helplessly.
