Chapter 38 The thirty-eighth chapter is misinterpreted hints

Huang Qianshan and others stood under the cliff, they discussed how to eat Zhu Guo, but Gu Changtian suddenly shouted that Zhu Guo disappeared.This was their only life-saving straw. When they heard that the vermillion fruit was gone, everyone hurried to look at the vermilion fruit tree.There are no vermilion fruits on the bare tree, the leaves are gone, only a few stalks are left dangling. During the conversation just now, you talked to each other, everyone wore a lamp cap on their heads, and no one saw what happened to Zhu Guoshu when the light was shining on each other.Huang Qianshan murmured, this is strange, there was a vermilion fruit hanging on the tree just now, how could it be possible to say that it was gone and it would be gone.Everyone looked around anxiously, and Cai Minmin soon found that Zhu Guo had rolled to the ground and was running towards a low-lying place.Huang Qianshan wondered, the vermilion fruit grew on the tree well, so it's really strange why they fell to the ground as soon as they came.

The flat ground under the cliff is like a small basin, with high surroundings and low middle, Zhu Guo kept rolling on the ground, running straight towards the cracks in the ground.There were sparse weeds and stones on the ground, Zhu Guo rolled and stopped by himself.Huang Qianshan was taken aback, but luckily Zhu Guo stopped by himself. You must know that there is an unknown space under the ground, and the hidden danger is even more terrifying.They were about to lose their lives when they came here, so Zhu Guo must not roll into the cracks in the ground, otherwise things will become serious.

Seeing this, Hao Dali hurriedly ran over to catch Zhu Guo, but he didn't expect that a gust of wind blew down from the Black Mountain, and Zhu Guo was caught by the old Black Mountain demon, and flew into the crack in the ground in a blink of an eye.This action frightened everyone, Zhu Guo was the only hope, and was snatched away by the old Black Mountain demon so quickly, everyone couldn't believe what they saw.Huang Qianshan hurriedly ran to the side of the crack in the ground, he probed into the space in the crack, the inside was pitch black, as if he was going to be sucked in just by looking at it.After the black mountain old demon flew in, there was no movement inside, and he didn't know where to hide.

"What to do, there is only one Zhu Guo!" Gu Changtian yelled out of control. "Of course I went down to look for it. Could it be that Zhu Guo would fly up by herself while standing here?" Cai Minmin said excitedly. Hao Dali pouted angrily, and cursed into the cracks in the ground: "Damn it, you actually took advantage of the fire to rob. What kind of beast is this? There really is an old Black Mountain monster. I will get rid of this monster today!" Lao Yue was not at ease, she said: "It should be the queen's tomb below, I'm afraid it's very dangerous, go down rashly..."

Huang Qianshan interrupted Lao Yue, he said: "Miss Lao, brother Hao's words are a bit vulgar, but he is right, if you don't go down, Zhu Guo will definitely not be able to get back! The most important thing is..." Cai Minmin understood Huang Qianshan's meaning, she looked at the cracks in the ground and said: "The most important thing is that the thing may eat Zhu Guo, then we will..." Lao Yue looked at the weak Liang Xiaoyu, and said in embarrassment: "But Xiaoyu shouldn't walk anymore." Liang Xiaoyu hurriedly declared: "Sister Yue, I'm fine, I can do whatever you say."

Huang Qianshan felt a dull pain in his chest, he knew that time was running out, if he didn't eat Zhu Guo to detoxify, it would be a dead end.Moreover, Zhu Guo was taken away by the Black Mountain old demon. If it really ate Zhu Guo, it would be troublesome.Huang Qianshan didn't dare to be optimistic, the origin of the Black Mountain old demon was unknown, it would definitely want to eat the vermilion fruit it took away.Before the black mountain old demon digested the vermilion fruit, Huang Qianshan and the others had at most half an hour to disembowel it and pluck out the vermilion fruit.

After hearing Huang Qianshan's words, Lao Yue hesitated and said, "No one knows what's going on below. If there's more than one Black Mountain old demon you mentioned, wouldn't we die if we go down?" "Sister Yue, I don't have time to think about it anymore. Instead of waiting to die on the ground, I'd rather go down and give it a try. I'll admit it if I die." Cai Minmin jumped up anxiously. "Xiaoyue, it seems that we have to go down. Otherwise, if you accompany Xiaoyu up there, we will come up soon." Gu Changtian persuaded. Lao Yue took a look at Liang Xiaoyu, she understood that Liang Xiaoyu would not last long and had to eat vermilion fruit right away.But in case Gu Changtian got Zhu Guo and couldn't come out in time, then Liang Xiaoyu's soul would go to the west, and the quickest way was to go down together with everyone, so as to have someone to take care of her.Before Lao Yue could make a decision, Huang Qianshan had visually measured the distance in the ground. He estimated that it was seven or eight meters high, but there was a broken rock standing obliquely below, and the distance was shortened by more than half.As long as he jumped on it and then slid down, there wouldn't be any big problems. Huang Qianshan jumped into the crack in the ground with a good position.

Lao Yue and the others followed one after another, Hao Dali tried to catch Liang Xiaoyu underneath, but unexpectedly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.After everyone jumped down, they slowly saw the situation in the crack of the ground clearly.There are thick stone walls all around, but some of them have been broken, and the mud and sand poured in to form mounds, and some strange fungi grew.There are several stone statues lying on the ground, all of them are in a kneeling posture, and it is impossible to tell whether they are male or female.There was a sarcophagus in the middle, but it had already been opened, probably because of the good work of the former group.There are still many scattered human bones on the ground, calculated according to the degree of deterioration, no more than 50 years old at most, so it is likely to be the group of people in the Heishan village.The human bones were covered with a layer of greasy black mud, and so were the surrounding stone walls, as if the whole place was sticky.

Lao Yue supported Liang Xiaoyu, she said: "This may be the queen's tomb, but something is wrong, don't you think the tomb is a bit..." Gu Changtian hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Lao Yue frowned, and replied: "I can't say, I just feel weird." "Everyone, be careful. People in Heishan Village will not die here for no reason. I'm afraid this place is not peaceful." Huang Qianshan reminded. "Could they have been smoked to death by laughing gas?" Cai Minmin asked. "No, the laughing gas under the floor is obviously less." Lao Yue denied.

Huang Qianshan glanced and saw no sign of the old Heishan demon, he wondered, "Don't be mistaken just now, did the old Heishan fly in?" Hao Dali said with certainty: "That's right, I watched it take away the duck that was full of beaks, I was so anxious!" "It should be inside, everyone, pay attention, don't let it fly out again secretly." Cai Minmin said while looking at the crack in the ground. Huang Qianshan was slowly groping along the stone wall. He saw a passageway blocked by rocks and sand, probably the passage in the tomb. The passage was damaged by the earthquake and was completely blocked. Unless it was a mouse, it was impossible for the old black mountain demon to get out of here. escape.At this time, Huang Qianshan's headache flickered suddenly, and then went black. He didn't notice that there was a stone statue in front of him, so he accidentally kicked it.Huang Qianshan groaned, screaming in pain, and scared the others into thinking something happened to him.Huang Qianshan hurriedly said that he was fine, he patted the headlight, and it turned on again.

"Let you block Lao Tzu's way!" Huang Qianshan bent over to move the stone statue aside, but his mind suddenly lit up. Back then, the scenes that happened in the ancient temple played smoothly in Huang Qianshan's mind like a movie.Huang Qianshan wants to pick cornel, Hao Dali moves the stone ball, the entrance is exposed to the ground, everyone gathers around to look at the entrance, he gives up picking cornel, these scenes keep popping up.Huang Qianshan gave a half-smile, hummed softly, and then continued to search for the whereabouts of the Black Mountain old demon. Hao Dali strode over from the opposite side, Huang Qianshan saw it and asked, "Didn't you find it?" "Could it be that the Black Mountain old demon was transformed from the Grasshopper Queen, this girl wants us to be buried with her?" Hao Dali said angrily. "Stop, stop." Huang Qianshan waved his hand and asked, "Let me ask you, in the ancient temple, you shouldn't be the one to move the stone ball yourself, right?" Hao Dali immediately replied: "I don't remember so much." Huang Qianshan continued: "Think about it carefully." "Then let me think about it..." Hao Dali thought hard, and he said, "Oh, Xiaoyu was tired at that time, she asked me to clear a flat place for her to rest, I thought the stone ball would be in the way, so I just... " "All right, all right, let's continue looking for that beast's lair." There is no gold, silver, copper and iron in the tomb, and it may have been cleaned up long ago. Huang Qianshan and others are not the first batch of people to come here.Gu Changtian sneaked up to the sarcophagus and took a look. It was empty. If there was a queen lying in it, he would have gone to have a tryst with Hades long ago.Like human bones and stone walls, the sarcophagus has a layer of sticky black mud, which makes people not want to touch it.Gu Changtian scraped the bottom of the sarcophagus with a piece of thin stone, and found a line of writing. He couldn't understand the ancient writing, so he asked Lao Yue to come and have a look.Hearing Gu Changtian's cry, everyone gathered around, thinking that they had found the trace of the old Black Mountain demon, but they turned out to be a line of oracle bone inscriptions. After reading it carefully, Lao Yue said, "This is... Men Tiankou Ren Nai!" Gu Changtian pondered for a moment, then asked again: "These five words sound very familiar... Isn't this line of words placed on the stone house array on the mountain, but the order is wrong." "Why is it inside the coffin? Could it be that charades are also popular in the Grasshopper Country?" Hao Dali disagreed. "It's the ancient Guo State!" Cai Minmin corrected. "The lines in the sarcophagus don't look like poetry or formulas, let's find Zhu Guo first." Lao Yue got up after saying that. "Will there be any hints? Just put the words in the right order. You see, these words seem to be movable." After Gu Changtian finished speaking, he reached out and touched one of the words. Sure enough, the words were like puzzle pieces that could be moved on the stone. move in. Huang Qianshan vaguely felt that something was wrong, he wanted to stop Gu Changtian from moving the blocks, but Gu Changtian was quick, and he adjusted the order of the blocks at once, forming the sentence "Tianmen is the entrance".A few sparks suddenly burst out from inside the sarcophagus, and the fire ignited in an instant. Gu Changtian reacted too slowly, and when he avoided it, his face was already burned and disfigured.The fire flowed out along the sarcophagus, and the entire tomb gradually caught fire, and the six people were soon surrounded by the fire. It was only then that Huang Qianshan realized that the five ruined stone houses set up by the Queen on the mountain were actually a trap. When he saw the writing in the sarcophagus, he naturally thought it was a clue, and couldn't help but want to touch the writing blocks.Black mud is actually a flammable substance, as long as a little spark can burn.There is a kind of stone in the world that oozes black oil. As long as the oil on the surface is scraped off or burned off, a layer of black oil will be formed after a while. The stone in the tomb must belong to this type.Sparks burst out when the writing blocks rubbed against each other, and the sarcophagus and tomb chamber were covered with black oil, which would burn quickly as long as the fire was ignited.Huang Qianshan thought in admiration, the queen of the ancient Guo State was really amazing, this kind of trick is a kind of psychological trick in modern society, as long as the people who saw the stone house would probably imitate Gu Changtian and try it.The group of Montenegro villagers who came in back then must have tried the words in the sarcophagus, no wonder they died here, they were all victims of misinterpreted prompts. The fire was not too fierce, but it was impossible to get out of the ground, because the black stone standing obliquely also burned.Gu Changtian cried out in pain, his face was horribly distorted, his skin was burned, and his flesh and blood were exposed, anyone who saw it felt chilling.The fire suddenly expanded, and Cai Minmin wanted to escape to the cracks in the ground, but Huang Qianshan immediately stopped her.Now that the fire is so big, running to the exit will quickly catch fire.The fire illuminated the tomb, and Huang Qianshan soon discovered that the so-called Black Mountain Old Demon was a black eagle with a huge body, holding vermilion fruits in its claws, and flew away with its tail between its legs as soon as the fire started.They wanted to chase, but the fire was in front of them, and it was impossible to chase any more. They could only watch the black eagle fly away. Huang Qianshan knew that there was a corridor blocked by mud and sand in the corner, and he knew that the Queen of the Ancient Guo State did not play cards according to common sense, so he forced the other five people to retreat to the other side of the corridor.Ordinary people will definitely escape to the exit of the crack in the ground when encountering a fire, and the idiot will run to a dead corner, but judging from the intensity of the fire, if they go to the exit, they will definitely be burned to death, and the slanted black stone will definitely not be able to climb up for a while.It was difficult for people to have enough time to think about how to deal with the danger that appeared in an instant, but Huang Qianshan got the queen's way. The passage was indeed blocked, and it was impossible for them to dig out an escape channel immediately.But the sand can extinguish the fire after all, at least it can prevent the fire from continuing to burn, so Huang Qianshan dug out a handful of smelly soil and threw it into the fire in front of him. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and a sea of ​​flames burns all over the tomb in the blink of an eye.Everyone hurriedly dug up the sand to put out the flames. Unexpectedly, Huang Qianshan dug out a stone ball in the black sand. He looked at the stone ball and did not dare to act rashly.Hao Dali didn't want Hao Dali to look at the stone ball too. He felt that the stone ball was in the way, so he lifted the stone ball sideways, trying to clear the stone ball from the black sand.Unexpectedly, as soon as it was moved, the stone floor covered with green and yellow moss suddenly turned over in front of the corridor, like a trap door, and it happened that six people were standing in one place, and they fell into it before they understood what was going on.Huang Qianshan only felt that the bones of his whole body were about to break, and his internal organs were all displaced, and he couldn't even cry out in pain.It was even worse for Gu Changtian, his burnt face was still oozing, and his eyes couldn't close. After falling down, he deeply realized what life is worse than death. "Oops, the stone roof above the ground is at least six meters long, how do we open the trap?" Cai Minmin asked anxiously, "Why are you moving around again, Dali?" "Forget it, it's lucky that the fire doesn't catch us now." Huang Qianshan waved his hand and said. "But Zhu Guo was snatched by the black eagle, if we don't pursue it now, then..." Cai Minmin was not reconciled. Lao Yue was at a loss at this time, she looked at Gu Changtian's face, and said sadly: "Changtian, how about you, hold on." Gu Changtian's mouth was burnt crooked, he moved his lips and said awkwardly, "I...I...it's fine." Seeing Gu Changtian's horrible face, Liang Xiaoyu shivered for a moment, and then asked, "Sister Yue, where are we?" Huang Qianshan looked around and saw that this was a tunnel like a pipe. There were no patterns on the stone walls, but the air was better than the one on the ground, although it was a bit dull.The tunnel was empty, Huang Qianshan thought, the tomb above must be fake, the old hag of the ancient Guo State deliberately put it on top of it, so that the tomb robbers would stop thinking about it. "This is the real scope of the Queen's Tomb. It should have been built not long after the earthquake. She found this place, so she transformed it. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were used." Lao Yue sighed. Cai Minmin disagreed. She said: "In ancient times, there were not so many high-rise buildings, and many people lived in huts, and the number of casualties in earthquakes was less than that of today." Huang Qianshan thought to himself, what Cai Minmin said made sense. In ancient times, the rulers would use natural disasters to hype themselves up. Anyway, no matter how terrifying the natural disaster rulers were, there was a way to say it was a miracle that was beneficial to him.What Lao Yue said is also correct, the earthquake should have occurred during the ancient Guo State period, but it did not destroy the country because of it.The queen of the ancient Guo State deliberately chose the conspicuous Black Mountain and the cracked ground to confuse the tomb robbers with a rotten tomb.After the tossing just now, Huang Qianshan felt pain all over his body, and the miasma mother's poisonous gas started to attack again. Now that Zhu Guo is gone, he might really die here. "Don't be discouraged, everyone. The Grasshopper Queen's tomb must be sealed. Isn't she setting up a trap door just to let people who are destined to come in?" Hao Dali encouraged, "Some people with mental problems like to do this best." It's a trick, maybe there is a panacea to save her life, let's go and take her lair!" Huang Qianshan was a bit dejected at first, but after hearing what Hao Dali said, he felt that he was going to die anyway, regardless of whether he had a panacea or not, first looking at the strange tombs of the ancient Guo State was a good thing before death.Cai Minmin and Hao Dali had the same idea, and Lao Yue didn't want to sit here and wait to die. She agreed to go into the tunnel, and there might be other exits, because the tunnel can breathe, so there must be other vents.Liang Xiaoyu was unwilling to continue walking, Gu Changtian didn't want to talk after being burned and disfigured, Liang Xiaoyu saw that there was no support, so she had to follow Lao Yue. In order to save power, only one person was left on the lamp cap, and the rest were turned off.There is not even a spider web in the tunnel, except for a little mud and stone that fell just now, there is basically nothing else.The tunnel soon turned a corner. They didn't know if the end of the tunnel was the Queen's Tomb, but they had to keep going.Huang Qianshan walked behind. He supported the stone wall, spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood, wiped it clean, and hurriedly followed everyone. After finally having time to think carefully, Huang Qianshan looked at Liang Xiaoyu who was walking in front, he couldn't help frowning, and wondered suspiciously: Did Liang Xiaoyu deliberately prevent me from picking off the dogwood in the ancient temple, so as to prevent us from continuing Going forward, it seems that she has always been against Jinshan.Could it be that Liang Xiaoyu lost the luggage on purpose, she brought in the snacks, and she also wrote the threatening letter?But why did Liang Xiaoyu do that? Was she afraid of death and dared not come in, or was there some other purpose? Huang Qianshan couldn't understand why Liang Xiaoyu didn't want them to enter the mountain. Could it be that she knew that there were so many dangers hidden in the mountain, but it was fine for her to say it clearly, why bother to hide it.Zhu Guo fell to the ground just now, someone must have knocked it down on purpose, but if Liang Xiaoyu knocked it down, she doesn't seem to need that.Looking at the five people in front of him, Huang Qianshan felt an unprecedented headache and fell to the ground as soon as his eyes went dark.
