Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 403 Taking Mountains as Mausoleums, Earthworms

The giant rat behind him didn't have the strength to follow, so he didn't care to confirm whether he was still alive or not. Everyone was still waiting for us in the tomb. Batu still hadn't woken up. Lian Haitang grabbed his pulse and said, "It's okay, I just fell into a coma due to the impact."

Among those who grabbed Batu, the old nine, Batu finally woke up, saw Lian Haitang's face, and stood up abruptly: "What's the matter?"

"The giant rat has retreated temporarily." Tao Ran said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Batu still had no strength to walk, Dong Hai supported him forward, and Lian Haitang silently retreated to the side. This underground tomb has no fixed pattern. After leaving the tomb just now, he returned to the tomb passage. The high wall, Lao Jiu said: "Bricks to seal the door."

There are seventeen layers of this door-sealing brick. The upper two layers are laid horizontally and staggered, and the lower fifteen layers are built vertically and sideways. Each brick is very huge, weighing more than ten kilograms!
"There are traces of re-building." Lao Jiu said as he pulled out the door-sealing brick in the middle, pulling it out little by little: "The person who built the wall reserved a space."

We worked together to pull out the door-sealing brick. It stands to reason that behind the door-sealing brick is the tomb door, but behind it is a pile of dirt!

Lao Jiu was dumbfounded at the moment: "It's Fengtu."

Huacheng said: "What is the Lord?"

"The so-called sealed soil is actually what is commonly known as the tomb. Tombs before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not have sealed soil. Since the ancients were superstitious about the soul, they had to pray to their ancestors first. It is better to pray directly in front of the tomb than to pray in the temple. For easier identification Knowing the location of the ancestor’s tomb, they piled soil or planted trees on the top of the tomb as a sign, but later it became a sign showing the status of the owner of the tomb.” Lao Jiu took out a tool shovel and shoveled it in, his expression changed: "wrong."

It was Huacheng's first visit to the tomb, and he was already impatient: "What's wrong?"

"Quickly dig up the soil." Lao Jiu said, digging up the soil vigorously. The soil was very sticky, and it was very laborious to dig. Everyone except Batu moved together. After digging, he saw that the other side was The solid rock wall, I couldn't help being stunned: "Using the mountain as a mausoleum?"

Lao Jiu said: "That's right, the traditional mountain is the mausoleum."

The sealing soil looks like a simple pile of soil on top of the underground tomb, but the inside is very particular. The top of the tomb is rammed with layers, making it a square cone with a small top and a big bottom, just like an inverted bucket, because Its upper part is a square flat top without a pointed part, which is called the base soil for the mausoleum.There is also a Baocheng Baoding, because the sharp edges of the square-shaped mound are easily eroded by windshields and become round and blunt, and the shape of the mountain is difficult to be square, which looks like a steamed bun.

What we see in front of us is a typical mausoleum made of soil, using the hills and peaks of the mountain as the tomb of the mausoleum. That is to say, what we see in front of us is actually the tomb. And the tomb is just a blindfold, the next step is the tomb!
A hole had already been blasted in the rock wall inside, but the entrance was blocked with rocks. Lao Jiu broke through the rocks and saw the scene inside and couldn't wait to get in. We got in one by one. The scenery in the cave is quite different from the outside. Although it was a stuffy smell at first, there was a scent of fragrance immediately. When the light of the headlight passed, the cave was full of exotic flowers and plants, green and green. In the midst of the murmur, various flowers poked their heads out, staring at the visitors curiously. For a while, everyone couldn't tell whether this was a fairyland. Tao Ran murmured: "What a beautiful place."

"Beauty is beauty, but the more beautiful, the more unusual dangers." Lian Haitang turned around suddenly: "Who?"

Lian Haitang was shocked, we were really startled, and turned around, the grass behind us was still shaking, something just swam past, I took out my gun, approached cautiously, and suddenly saw a pair of red eyes , was about to shoot, the thing squeezed through the grass and came out, it turned out to be a rabbit!
I breathed a sigh of relief and put down the gun: "It's scary."

The rabbit was not afraid of people, it walked leisurely through the crowd, and walked towards the grass on the opposite side. A rabbit sniffed hard in the tree trunk, and then left happily. Tao Ran looked over suspiciously, and blurted out when he saw something in the bark: "Dipterocarpus!"

There are silver traces inside the opened bark, which are in the shape of dragons. There is a scent in the trunk that goes straight into people's noses. Tao Ran immediately took out a knife and scraped the trunk and put it away cherishingly: "This is what my mother-in-law once mentioned. The processed dipterocarp can refresh the mind, and it can also be used in the cultivation of Gu worms."

I really can't help this woman, when will I still be entangled with this, "This is the cemetery of Yelu Chu and Xiao Xuan, where is the coffin?" Lao Jiu looked around: "This is the inside of the mountain, and the surrounding stone walls are purely natural. It's not artificial, find a coffin quickly."

There is no passage up or down the mountain, which means that the coffin can only be here. We can only walk into the grass and walk through various trees. The group of people instantly turned into a search team. Tao Ran and I went to an area on the left Go, the grass on the ground is like vines, clinging to the ground, Tao Ran tripped, I quickly grabbed her: "Be careful."

"Yeah." Tao Ran said, "Lao Jiu's parents had already been here before us, and the looseness of the door-sealing brick just now is proof, but what happened to the giant rat in the coffin? Was it there before, or was it Lao Jiu?" Did your parents let it go on purpose?"

"The first person who comes in will definitely open the coffin for inspection," I said, "on the one hand, Lao Jiu's parents returned to the grassland to be chased and killed, and on the other hand, they wanted to come back here to rearrange. The latter is my imagination. But after all, they have been here before, and the first time they came here was to find something, and it is human nature to open the coffin."

"So they were the ones who re-nailed the coffin to seal the giant rat inside?" Tao Ran said, "Although that thing is dangerous, it is very useful from the perspective of anti-theft."

"Yes, Lao Jiu's parents are very capable." I said, "I'm really curious how they are..."

Before I could finish my words, the two sea hollies let out a long cry, and Tao Ran suddenly pushed me. Something ran between us, and a slippery thing hit my face, and there was a sticky The thick liquid remained, and I wiped it with my hand. I felt disgusted. The liquid was lighter than snot, but thicker, and it had an unpleasant smell. To put it bluntly, it was like a man's thing...

Tao Ran stood behind me vigilantly: "Where did that thing go just now?"

"What is it?" I was startled to myself. I was distracted when I spoke just now. It really was Tao Ran, who always maintained professional instincts when and where. I lowered my head and found a vine on the ground that was extraordinarily thick. In stark contrast, it appeared a bit abruptly. I was about to bend down to study it carefully when a gunshot sounded behind me. It turned out to be Dong Hai, who was pressing against Batu's body nervously: "Uncle Jiu, that thing has passed!"

There was a rustling sound in the grass, and the grass was trembling, and the thing was clearly moving towards Lao Jiu's legs. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Jiu wanted to back away, but it happened that there was a tree behind him, and his body was straight When it hit the tree trunk, Lao Jiu gave a "wipe" and fired continuously, but the thing was so flexible that Lao Jiu couldn't do anything with it. In a blink of an eye, the thing escaped the bullets and came to Lao Jiu's feet. Luo roared, "Run, run forward!"

It was too late, before I knew it, the sweat from my forehead dripped onto my lips, salty...

That thing "chucked" around Lao Jiu's left leg, that thing was not a snake!Tao Ran said unexpectedly: "Like an earthworm, it should not be lethal."

Yeah?Lian Haitang is approaching cautiously, that thing doesn't seem to bite, but it is tightly wrapped around Lao Jiu's leg, and the tighter it gets, Lao Jiu is trying to tear it off, no matter how much strength he uses In vain, the body of the thing is elastic, and the more you pull it, the thinner it is, but it won't fall off. The two sea holly circles around Lao Jiu but dare not make a move, after all, it will hurt Lao Jiu by mistake!

Lao Jiu let out a loud cry, stretched it with both hands, Lian Haitang finally made a move, cut the thing neatly with the knife in his hand, the thing broke in two, and the cut part fell into the grass, convulsing violently A few times, and then calm down...

The remaining two-thirds of his body were still on Lao Jiu's lap, and one side was already loose. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lao Jiu pulled it violently, flicked it, and threw it directly in front of Tao Ran and me. With quick eyes and quick hands, Ran took out the knife and stabbed it down forcefully. The blade passed through the thing's body, piercing the flesh into the soil. In this way, the thing was fixed on the ground!
Except for the part fixed by the knife, the rest of the body is still shaking vigorously. This thing is two meters long!Its body was shaking, and the mucus on its body was visible to the naked eye. Thinking of the liquid on my face just now, I stepped on its body angrily: "What the hell is this?"

"Big earthworm?" Donghai and Nanhai approached curiously, and suddenly the thing swung up and almost hit them. Donghai immediately hid behind Nanhai, and Nanhai said helplessly, "It came out of here in the first place, right?" ?”

Tao Ran and I nodded together. Tao Ran walked forward a few meters and stopped: "It was first drilled out from here."

I couldn't help but feel ashamed, the same here, but I realized it later, Tao Ran stretched out his hand to press the soil there, then pointed to the thicker vine on the ground and said: "The plants here are more lush than other places, even earthworms It is also very fat, indicating that the nutrients here are more abundant, why not dig it down and have a look."

Lao Jiu spat on the ground, nodded and said: "That's the only way. There are so many plants here, the Luoyang shovel is useless. The roots of the plants make it difficult for the Luoyang shovel to get down."

"It's a good thing for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse." Lian Haitang said.
