Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen Clues

Among the three levels of caves, this level is relatively less dangerous, but we lost our troops and seriously injured two people.Looking at Hu Songshan in front of me, I felt very uneasy.I didn't expect that the girl who was going to kill me this morning because she found out that she slept in the same coffin with me would block an arrow for me with her back. At this time, Hu Songshan was leaning on my shoulder, only listening to her upper teeth and lower teeth, and her mouth said that she was cold.I hugged her, hoping that she would be warmer. I didn't say anything, but I thought this girl was really nice.After a few minutes, I saw that Hu Songshan was still cold, so I carried her into the tomb on the left.I dragged down a coffin, pushed the lid off the coffin, and then used the Xingxiu knife to light the small pieces of wood that had been cut into pieces.As the fire was getting bigger and bigger, I ended up burning the entire coffin lid.

Since Hu Songshan's clothes were torn and couldn't cover his skin, I took off my shirt and put it on for Hu Songshan.After a while, Jiang Qiankun carried Lord Dou on his back.I looked at Lord Dou's injury, and turned over his uninjured right eyelid, only to see that it was a little red, but it was normal.Although Lord Dou was also injured, at least it wasn't an arrow wound, so it was much better.I tore off a piece of cloth from Dou Ye's body and wrapped his injured eye, saying: "Let him rest for a while, otherwise it will definitely hurt even more when he wakes up. If he doesn't wake up after half an hour, pinch him." Wake him up."

Jiang Qiankun nodded. Seeing me burning the coffin, he smiled and said, "You are so bold, you burn everything." While talking, Jiang Qiankun walked towards the coffin I tore down with a torch, only to hear him say, "Hey, why is there only one head here?" I heard what Jiang Qiankun said, and I walked over, and I saw that there was only a shriveled and uncorrupted head inside the coffin, as Jiang Qiankun said. I said, "It should be the one with the headless corpse." After speaking, I slowly walked in front of Hu Songshan.After taking off my clothes, I was already shirtless, so I couldn't hug Hu Songshan in front of Jiang Qiankun, so I had to let her lie by the fire first.

At this time, Jiang Qiankun squatted on the ground and picked up something. He took a picture of it with a fire and said, "Yishui, is this the button on your body?" I looked at the button in Jiang Qiankun's hand, and saw that the button was dark and round, and it wasn't mine.I looked at Hu Songshan, and saw that she was wearing sportswear without buttons, and said, "It's not mine, and it's not Hu Songshan's." Jiang Qiankun said: "Master Dou and I have just entered this room, so it is definitely not ours. If this is the case, someone has been here before, and it is just recently."

"But the people who came don't know whether they went out or became the food of the fox fairy." I said. Jiang Qiankun said: "That's right. If it's daytime, it's still possible to go out; if it's nighttime, I'm afraid I'll hang up. One water, will you see this button? When did you think it was buttoned?" I took the button, and saw that the button was rough in workmanship, and it didn't look like the style that was popular in recent years in terms of craftsmanship. I said immediately: "I saw this button on the clothes my grandfather wore at that time, and it was more similar to that one. Then it came In the 1980s, buttons were mostly dog-toothed, pursuing form; in the 1990s, the colors and styles of buttons changed.”

Jiang Qiankun smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to know a lot. Yes, this black and round button is indeed from the 1960s. It originated from the Chinese tunic suit. Later, it was also worn by people in the 1970s, but it was just an old man." .Whose button do you think it belongs to?" "It can't be Liu Xuan's?" I said. "It's Liu Xuan." Jiang Qiankun said excitedly, "Others don't know this place at all, and they can't come here. Didn't you see that few people came in those few layers of caves? Most people met him when they reached the first few mountains. It's dangerous, only Liu Xuan can come here."

Hearing what Jiang Qiankun said, I seem to understand that although I can't strictly conclude that it is Liu Xuan's, at least it is almost the same.I asked, "Is Liu Xuan dead?" Jiang Qiankun said: "Now he must be dead. It has been nearly forty years, and if he is alive, he will be ninety. But it is hard to say whether he will die at that time. Since he is seeking immortality and Taoism, and intends to live forever, I am afraid... "Suddenly, Jiang Qiankun rushed to the coffin board, then stepped on the fire on the coffin board with his feet, and spit on it a few more times.I didn't know why he was behaving so strangely, but when I heard him say, "Come and help me!" I realized that he must have found something.

Immediately, I also came over to step on the coffin board, stepping on the part with words under Jiang Qiankun's feet like a tap dance.Although the coffin was not trampled out, the words under the feet could be read clearly, and the words "Disciple Liu Xuan came here to seek immortality and Taoism" were written crookedly on it. Looking at these words, I couldn't help but picture such a character in my mind. An old man with a long beard, a scruffy appearance and a stooped figure prayed to God and Buddha here.But Jiang Qiankun was very excited, and only heard him shout: "Great, we finally found a clue, that old Liu Xuan really came here."

"It's unbelievable that he can do such an unbelievable thing." I sighed. Jiang Qiankun said: "Now is not the time to say whether he has mental problems, let's see if there are other clues." Hearing what Jiang Qiankun said, I remembered that I still need to find out the whereabouts of my fourth uncle.So I picked up the torch and went to look at the other parts of the coffin, but there was no other writing on it.I climbed to the pile of coffins, but still saw no other traces left. Jiang Qiankun said: "Strange, why is it gone?" I also feel very strange, why is there only one sentence?Now I looked for the wall again, but I still couldn't find other writings.I slumped on the ground and finally gave up hope.Jiang Qiankun comforted me and said, "Don't worry, we still have a long way to go! You see, we have only reached the third floor, and there are still six floors above, and we will definitely find some more clues. If we find you here Fourth Uncle, he is definitely not the living Fourth Uncle. We haven't found it now, which proves that he is still alive, right?"

Hearing what Jiang Qiankun said, I was enlightened and immediately regained my spirit.At this time, Hu Songshan was lying beside the fire, smacking his lips incessantly, probably very thirsty, but where did the water come from here? If he hadn't eaten something from Chen Daohe during the day, he still wouldn't know how hungry he would be.Now it would be nice to have something to eat and roast it over the fire.Thinking of this, I became physically exhausted again, I sat next to Hu Songshan, I didn't care about Jiang Qiankun's opinion, and hugged Hu Songshan in my arms. Hu Songshan looked at me, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word.I asked, "Are you thirsty and hungry?"

She shook her head, and I knew she didn't want to embarrass me.Seeing her like this, I picked up a fire stick, carried Hu Songshan on my back, and said to Jiang Qiankun: "Uncle Jiang, let's not rest anymore. If I meet a ghost, I will kill the ghost. If I meet a demon, I will kill the demon. Otherwise, Hu Songshan will die of thirst." .” Jiang Qiankun saw that I seemed to be determined to rush to the top of the tower, and said: "Okay, we will live and die together, and we will not nest here." So Jiang Qiankun also picked up a wooden stick and carried Dou Ye on his back. , rushed up with me. We went out of the small door, walked up a dozen folding stairs, and saw the small door on the fourth floor.I saw a wooden door blocking us, I kicked it, and the door flew into the hole, and followed us into the hole on the left.According to our past experience, the left side is the place where the coffins are stacked, and the right side is the place where these people work. Sure enough, under the illumination of the torches, a coffin pyramid can be vaguely seen in the distance.However, this tower is relatively low, with only four floors, and it seems that two floors are missing. Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder, but since I came here with arrogance, I naturally had to come out with arrogance, and I shouted: "Are you big ghosts or little ghosts, white-haired ghosts or red-haired ghosts, headed ghosts or no ghosts?" Head ghost, come out to me. I’m here to pick up your tricks.” If it’s a martial arts movie, at this time, the other party must laugh and fall from the tree to the ground, but this is not martial arts, and the plot does not appear as I imagined. , but a piece of silence. Even Jiang Qiankun wondered, "Other houses are brightly lit, so what's the point of this dilapidated house being dark? Are all ghosts dead?" Jiang Qiankun put Master Dou on the ground, and then walked towards the coffin. There were three coffins scattered about on the ground, he nodded and said, "So it fell to the ground, no wonder there are only four floors." Jiang Qiankun looked at the coffin lid with a torch, let out a "huh" in his mouth, and lowered his body to the coffin. Looking down, I saw writing on the coffin lid.I saw Jiang Qiankun found out again, and walked over with Hu Songshan on his back, only to see that the words "disciple Liu Xuan came here to seek immortality and Taoism" were still written on it. Looking at other places, still nothing else was found.Immediately, I split off two coffin boards with a knife and lit them up to make new torches.Ordinary wood is not easy to ignite if it is not covered with tar, and even if it is ignited, it is not resistant to burning.However, this kind of coffin board is a famous oily shrub in the southwest mountainous area. It is anti-corrosion and flammable, so the burning fire is relatively large. At this time, I heard a long moan coming from the cave, and Jiang Qiankun and I immediately became alert when we heard this sound.At that moment, Jiang Qiankun was in front, and I was carrying Hu Songshan on my back, and walked towards another cave that was moaning. Probably hearing our footsteps and seeing the light from our torches, the groan lasted only a few seconds before stopping abruptly.However, Jiang Qiankun and I still went in. Jiang Qiankun first threw a torch and went in after seeing that it was very quiet inside.At this time, we saw a few shriveled corpses lying on the ground. They seemed to have been hit by a lot of force, and all of them were limp.There are some textile items placed in the far distance of the cave, and several jars of wine are stored nearby.Judging from the funerary objects, these must be the burial layers of craftsmen. From the moment we entered the cave, we could feel the strong smell of blood in the room. I held a torch and looked to the ground, only to see blood was everywhere on the ground.I thought it was the blood on those mummy bodies, but I saw that there were no wounds on those mummy bodies at all.At this time, I heard a rattling sound behind me, and I was terrified in my heart, so I turned around immediately.Behind him was a man in gray clothes lying on his back in a hole in the wall, his head drooping, and blood dripping from his neck. Suddenly, I heard heavy footsteps next door.I didn't think so, so I immediately put the torch in front of me, ready to deal with sudden accidents.Unexpectedly, under the firelight, what I saw was Master Dou walking over vigorously, and I saw his green eyes fixed on the blood on the ground.Jiang Qiankun also saw that it was Lord Dou, and he was obviously surprised that Lord Dou woke up suddenly.I saw Lord Dou drank the blood on the ground, and wanted to drink the blood of the man above. Seeing Lord Dou's strange behavior, Jiang Qiankun and I were both taken aback.After Master Dou turned the man's body, I realized that the man in gray clothes was one of the two young monks following Chen Daohe.Seeing this, Jiang Qiankun immediately pulled Lord Dou away.Lord Dou was not willing to give up, he showed his long teeth, and his ferocious expression was like a beast.Jiang Qiankun knew that Master Dou hadn't returned his sun yet, so he wanted to pull him away as much as possible.Unexpectedly, his behavior completely angered Lord Dou, who grabbed his collar and threw him three meters away. Jiang Qiankun was already injured, and after throwing it, the wound on his arm that had stuttered just now bleeds again.I put down Hu Songshan, and when Master Dou was walking towards Jiang Qiankun, I concentrated all my strength and strangled his neck from behind.Lord Dou lost his balance and was thrown to the ground by me.Jiang Qiankun saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he took off the ancient jade around his neck and put it in Master Dou's mouth.After Master Dou swallowed Gu Yu, his whole body went mad. Not long after, he vomited a puddle of mud-like black stuff from his throat, and the stench was unbearable. After Master Dou vomited, he passed out again.Jiang Qiankun picked out the piece of ancient jade with a wooden stick, wiped it on the mummy, and put it back into his pocket.I ran up to the little monk and asked, "Where's your master?" The little monk didn't speak for a long time, as if he was about to die.After a while, he said weakly: "My master, the bad guy, wants to kick you off the cliff. Just now he made me a scapegoat again, ahem, you have to be careful of him, ahem, we have come here for days It’s dark, there are so many ghosts here, so scary, there have never been so many. Master and brother have gone back to the top, and now we should go out of the mountain. You..." After the little monk finished speaking, he lost his breath. No more bleeding from the neck.After the little monk died, a jug fell from his body, and there was still more than half of the jug of water in it.I immediately gave it to Hu Songshan, and after drinking the water, Hu Songshan felt much better. At this moment, Jiang Qiankun walked over staggeringly, and looked at the young monk's neck again, only to see that the neck was covered with tooth marks and nail marks, which penetrated deep into the skin.Jiang Qiankun said: "Burn him soon." I ran to the front of the cave and took out the dusty wine.Jiang Qiankun dragged the young monk's body to the ground and piled it up with the mummies.After I poured the wine on these corpses, Jiang Qiankun threw the torch towards the corpses, and the cave was suddenly brightly lit. Because Chen Daohe had been here before, we didn't put in too much effort.Considering that Chen Daohe might get the ancient jade first or find the Boren King's coffin first, Jiang Qiankun and I decided to speed up our pursuit. Jiang Qiankun continued to carry Master Dou on his back, but this time Jiang Qiankun was much more careful. He tore off a piece of clothes from Master Dou and stuffed it in Master Dou's mouth to prevent Master Dou from biting him suddenly.And after Hu Songshan lay on me this time, her arms hugged me even tighter, as if she was afraid that I would lose me. Hu Songshan said to me: "Give me the torch, and I will help you guide the way later." When I heard this, it was really great, so I agreed to her.Just carrying her up the stairs was tiring, and it was even more tiring with the torch in my hand, and now that she was holding the torch, I felt much more at ease. Jiang Qiankun turned back and said to me: "Master Dou is in this situation, I can't guarantee that he won't relapse. You watch from behind, if he is not normal, you immediately yell, and I will throw him on the ground. " I nodded and said yes.Right now Jiang Qiankun was walking in front, and Hu Songshan and I were walking behind.Hu Songshan said to me: "Your clothes smell so bad of sweat!" I smiled awkwardly and didn't speak, she whispered in my ear: "I'll wash your clothes when I go back, I don't want to wear such smelly clothes again." When Hu Songshan said that, the shadow of Liu Ge appeared in my heart again. If it was Liu Ge, she would say: "Old ghost, I haven't washed the clothes for my old lady yet." It seems that life sometimes needs to face choices, but life is always There will be a tilt of the balance, and at this time I really fell to Hu Songshan.Of course, from another point of view, I have to choose Hu Songshan now, that is, Hu Songshan needs my encouragement at the critical moment of life. I nodded and said yes.Hu Songshan looked at me nodding, seemed very happy, and forgot to be thirsty, humming "The Girl of Alishan" in his mouth. When we were chatting, Jiang Qiankun in front of us turned around and said: "I said you young couple have something to say before going back. We are still in danger. We have reached the fifth floor." The distance between Qiankun and Qiankun has been opened by two or three turning ladders.Remembering that Jiang Qiankun just told me to help him keep an eye on Lord Dou from behind, I felt so guilty, so I quickened my pace and chased after him. He and Jiang Qiankun first entered the cave where the coffins were piled up on the left, and saw that the inside was pitch black and messy.The coffin was still dragged from the coffin pile, and the floor was littered with coffin lids and opened coffins.Jiang Qiankun put down Lord Dou and went to look for the writing on the coffin first.And I let go of Hu Songshan and take charge of the security of the periphery. It's just that Jiang Qiankun didn't find any traces after searching for a long time, followed him to search on the wall, finally sighed, and said: "It seems that there will be nothing left on this floor after being swept away by Chen Daohe." Harvested." Now I carried Hu Songshan on my back, and Jiang Qiankun planned to continue chasing Chen Daohe with Master Dou on his back.When passing the fork in the road, Jiang Qiankun looked at the tomb on the right, and turned around and said, "Shall we go to this cave to have a look again?" I said: "Let's forget it! Even if there is something, it will be taken away by Chen Daohe, so go to the top." Hearing what I said, Jiang Qiankun also walked up, and this level is over.Now we continued to walk up again. At this time, due to the constant climbing up the stairs, our feet were extremely sore.After walking for about five minutes, they heard the sound of fighting from above.I thought to myself, I'm afraid I will catch up with Chen Daohe this time. I rushed up immediately, but was stopped by Jiang Qiankun who was walking in front, he said in a low voice: "First consume Chen Daohe's physical strength." I shook my head and said, "Uncle Jiang, although Chen Daohe was with us looking for Gu Yu, he helped us clear the ghosts on the second floor after all, otherwise it would be very difficult for us to reach the fifth floor so smoothly with the strength of the two of us." .” Jiang Qiankun said with a smile: "I never thought you'd be kind, okay, you're a master of great things." Now the four of us walked up.On the right side of the cave, the lights are flickering and dimming, we should go to the right first.Unexpectedly, after I went in, I saw a few tall monsters with slightly ruddy complexion and white hair on their hands pressing Chen Daohe on the cross and tying his limbs with ropes.There was a man sitting on the table beside him, with a huge silver earring pierced in his left ear. He looked fierce and seemed to be the leader of these people.On the farthest side is a brazier the size of a washbasin.One of Chen Daohe's disciples was tied up on the cross at the brazier, and his shoulders on both sides were tightly clasped by two big iron hooks. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the tied man in panic. master.
