Chapter 184: The Devil's Embryo (16) No Escape
I jumped out of the coffin. Since the passage of the main tomb cannot go out, I can only look at the Ascension Gate.I walked to the Shengtian Gate, picked up the flashlight and looked at it, and was delighted to find that the place where we came down from the Shengtian Gate still had the rope we coiled outside.It's just because I could get down from the Panlong pillar just now, so the position of the rope is relatively high, and it is not easy to grasp.

But with a glimmer of hope, I immediately dug out Tao Ba's luggage and took out all the contents. To my surprise, there was a flying claw inside.

Flying claws are generally the best tool for stealing hanging coffins.The earliest flying claws were hidden weapons, which began in the Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.Flying claws are made according to eagle claws, with a total of four toes, three in the front and one in the back.Each toe is two joints, which can be freely retracted.In ancient times, flying claws were an excellent weapon for climbing walls.Later, after being improved, it was used in the tomb-robbing tool.Especially in the Bashu generation, there are mostly hanging coffins, and without flying claws, it is difficult to get close to the coffins.

Tao Ba's flying claw is naturally used for tomb robbers. I tried to estimate it, and quickly found the trick.The front of the flying claw is very sharp. Under the action of external force, it can drill through walls and rocks. When the front of the flying claw penetrates into the wall, there is a mechanism on the other end of the rope. Pull it back, and the toes behind the flying claw will turn. , rotate and stretch the front three toes of the flying claw to form a second layer of protection, so that it can basically bear the weight of one or two people and can be used as a climbing tool.

After researching the function of the flying claw, I immediately swung it up, but after several swipes, I couldn't get it right.I looked at the structure of the flying claw again, and this time the flying claw drilled into the right position accurately.I pulled the mechanism on the rope, and the flying claw got into the wall firmly.I pulled hard a few times to make sure that the flying claw was fine.Then I climbed up bit by bit along the front wall.

Never climbed before, especially with only one rope.I feel like two arms are going to break, but this is the only way out of here.He had no choice but to grit his teeth and move his body forward vigorously. After a lot of effort, he finally came to the rope hanging from the Ascension Gate step by step.I swung forward with all my strength, reached out and grabbed the rope, and stepped on the walls on both sides with my legs.

It’s easy when you come down, just like a child taking off his pants, grabbing the rope in a numb manner, but it’s really hard work when you go up, not to mention the two hands to bear all the strength, and the two legs to support the balance and center of gravity.

As the opening of the Ascension Gate gets closer, I feel that the two sides are getting narrower.When approaching the entrance of the cave, my two legs and my body were almost shrunk together.

I suddenly discovered a problem. When we came down, we took the Shrinking Bone Golden Pill, but when we went up, I felt like I couldn't get in at all.But he went higher and higher towards the entrance of the hole, and finally got out.

When I came out of the Ascension Gate, I realized what was going on.

In fact, the so-called shrinking bone pill has no effect, it just makes people think that their body has narrowed.The opening of the Ascension Gate is indeed small, but it is a spiral opening.From the outside, it is indeed difficult to accommodate a person, but when you drill in, your body spirals down with the hole and enters the hole.It’s like a box, if you want to put a rope much longer than it is, if you throw it all in, you can’t put it in at all, but if you arrange it in a spiral form, you can put it all in.

It was midnight and I made my way down the mountain along the loop.It's a pity that the way down the mountain is hard to find. I turned around and got lost. I don't know how long I wandered in the woods. I finally came out and saw a lonely house at the intersection in front of me.It seems to be a house built by a mountain guard.

After tossing under the tomb for most of the night, I was already hungry.The dry food he was carrying before was also lost, and he didn't even drink his saliva.I didn't care about anything else, so I ran over and knocked hard on the door.

Half a day later, the lights came on inside, and an old man opened the door.

I even said with a picture that I was passing by here, lost my way, and needed to stay overnight. The most important thing was to eat and drink some water, and I could give him money.

The old man opened the door and let me in.

I was really hungry. The old man warmed me a bowl of porridge and took two hard steamed buns. I devoured them all before I recovered.

After dinner, I had a brief chat with the old man. The old man's surname is Deng, from Ningcheng. When he was young, he worked in Yucheng Forestry Bureau all his life. After retiring, he came to Fengming Mountain.

The old man arranged me to sleep in the back room, and he slept outside.Because there is no electricity in the house, there is only one kerosene lamp, which is placed outside.

Anyway, I'm tired enough, it's good that I can sleep in it.I was going to leave early the next morning, so after entering the back room, I fell asleep right away.

What happened to Fengming Mountain made me sleep uneasy, it was just a nightmare.At first, I dreamed that Lady Jiu was pulling me covered in blood, and then Fu Bo and Chen Mu were laughing grinningly.Later, he even dreamed that Chen Mu stabbed Zhao Shan's neck with a knife.

I woke up, sweaty and parched.

It was dark in the room, I turned over and felt that I bumped into someone.

"Who?" I asked subconsciously.

The man didn't speak, just gasped like a dog with its tongue out.

"Uncle Deng?" I asked again.

The person hadn't spoken yet, and in the darkness, only the sound of the other person's panting could be heard.

I fumbled around and took out the lighter, just lit it.

Before a black shadow could be clearly seen, the other party suddenly blew out the lighter.

"Fuck, who is it?" I was startled, and immediately rolled over from the bed.

The other party did not speak, huffed, huffed, still panting.

I lit the lighter again.

Pounce, that black shadow quickly rushed over and blew it out.

My back was covered in cold sweat, I reached out and took out a piece of talisman paper, made a decision, and threw it over.

The talisman paper crackled and lit up in mid-air, and landed on the black figure. The black figure leaped forward swiftly, bypassing the talisman paper.

The talisman is gone.

I saw the shadow clearly, it was something that looked like a zombie.

Whew, wheeze, the black shadow is still panting.

I suddenly remembered something, the lamp blower.

According to legend, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a feng shui master named Xu Yuanchang accidentally found a thing in an ancient tomb. off.Xu Yuanchang guarded the ancient tomb for three days and three nights, and finally caught the thing.

It coincided with Kangdi Sima Yue's death.Xu Yuanchang took the initiative to come to the door and said that he could provide the sacred object to guard the imperial tomb, and he named it the lamp blower.

The legend of the lamp blower spread quietly among the people, so countless tomb robbers searched for Sima Yue's tomb, but unfortunately they did not find the whereabouts of the lamp blower in the end.

Not only did the lamp blower disappear, even Xu Yuanchang disappeared from people's sight.

Although no one has seen the lamp blowing ghost, it left a reminder for the tomb robbers.

Could this thing in front of me be a lamp blower?

Perhaps the noise in the room alarmed Uncle Deng outside, and he came in with a kerosene lamp.

The room lit up, although it was dim, but the scene inside could be seen clearly.

"Is there anything else in the house?" I asked.

"The guest just needs to sleep peacefully, and leave at dawn. If not, please leave now." Uncle Deng's face was a little unhappy.

"This lamp blower has disappeared for hundreds of years, and I never expected to meet him here. Uncle Deng, it seems that you are not an ordinary mountain guard. Let me advise you, the Lord buried in Fengming Mountain is not an ordinary person. You still Take it easy." For the sake of giving me a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, I persuaded him.

Uncle Deng's face became even uglier, and his lips trembled, "You actually know the lamp blower? Who are you?"

"Anyway, the people in Fengming Mountain are not something you can offend. I'm leaving now, you can do it yourself." I picked up my clothes and walked outside.

Just when I came out of the back room, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Uncle Deng heard the knock on the door and pulled me.

"Passing by, it's too late, I want to rest here." The voice outside the door was very familiar, it was Du Cheng's voice.

I immediately shook my head, motioning to Uncle Deng not to open the door.

But Uncle Deng pushed me into the back room, walked over and opened the door.

I stood on one side of the back room and peeked out.

It was Du Cheng who came in.

"The house is not big, so I'm afraid we won't be able to keep people." Uncle Deng politely declined Du Cheng's request.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I just sit outside all night." Du Cheng smiled.

Uncle Deng was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, it's too dark, and the road down the mountain is not easy. I came here because I had no choice. This is for you, it's an overnight fee." Du Cheng took the money from him, but accidentally took out his Bagua mirror, He put it back again, fumbled for it, and took 100 yuan.

Uncle Deng actually accepted the money without saying anything.

Du Cheng started chatting with Uncle Deng. Uncle Deng chatted with him without saying a word, brought a pot of boiling water to the table, and poured him a glass.

"It's too cold, let's drink some hot water."

Du Cheng nodded, picked up the cup, but looked around.

Suddenly, he threw the cup to the ground and cursed, "What an old man, you actually attacked me. Even if you don't want to keep me here, you don't have to hurt me, do you?"

The hot water in Du Cheng's broken cup turned into worms on the ground.

"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't let you drink my black silkworm Gu." Old man Deng laughed.

Black Silkworm Gu?
I immediately covered my mouth, this old man Deng can play Gu?Then will the food I eat be a voodoo?Thinking of this, I began to feel that something was climbing in my esophagus, and I felt uncomfortable all over.
