"Squeak...squeak..."
This sound sounds a bit like a mouse? Accompanied by the "squeaking" sound, several little mice appeared in front. wrong! Not just a few, but a large, densely packed area.
Those little mice were surrounding us. As soon as I saw them, my scalp suddenly felt numb, and I thought that this time it was probably doomed.
There are so many little mice. If they attack us, they will chew a few of us into bones in a short time.
“You thought there was a ghost? It turned out to be this thing.” Yi Ba frowned and said, “There are so many tomb rats, and each one of them looks hungry. A few people are obviously not enough for them to eat!”
"Is there nothing you can do?" Tong Shouzhi asked Yi Ba nervously.
"If it's a ghost, I might be able to deal with it twice. This is a tomb rat, and I'm not a cat. What can I do with them? All I ask now is that they can give me a good time and don't hurt me a little bit. A little torture to death." Yi Ba's words sounded like he had given up resistance completely!
If I had known that I would encounter so many tomb rats, I should have brought the green girl. No matter how powerful the tomb rat is, it is still a rat! Snakes are their natural enemies. As long as the green girl is here, as long as she spits out the letter, she will definitely be able to suppress these tomb rats.
The Tomb Rats have surrounded us. Yi Ba took some paper money out of his green cloth pocket, lit it and threw it on the ground, forming a circle of fire.
Standing inside the fire ring, the tomb rats did not dare to approach us. But the problem is, there isn't much paper money left in Qingbu's pocket. According to the current burning rate, it can last for a few minutes at most.
"This is not a solution!" Tong Shouji said.
“Do you have a better way?” Yi Ba asked.
Tong Shouji stopped talking, obviously he had no other options. At this time, I saw a broken coffin in front of me. The wood of the coffin is more durable than the paper money!
"There is a broken coffin there. Can you ask that kid to fetch the coffin wood piece by piece? That thing should be able to burn for a while." I made a suggestion to Tong Shouji .
Tong Shouji nodded and muttered a few words to the kid. The little guy stuck out his butt and crawled over, because he was too small and could only hold a small piece of wood at a time. But fortunately, he is a kid and has no body, so those tomb rats and the like cannot cause any harm to him.
With the help of the little ghost, we used pieces of coffin boards to burn a bonfire. In this way, we are temporarily safe.
The coffin board was crackling with fire, and small sparks would fly from time to time. Although the tomb rats couldn't get close to us, they had no intention of retreating and were still surrounding us.
“What should I do if the burning is finished?” Tong Shou asked Yi Ba.
“What else can we do?” Yi Ba sighed and said, “When we entered the Prince Consort’s Tomb, we were prepared to die inside. But we didn’t expect that we would die among a group of tomb rats. Mouth."
"Can't you be more positive and think of a way?" Tong Shouzhi looked at Yi Ba with a disappointed look.
"If I could figure out a way, would I still have to hide in this ring of fire?" Yi Ba said.
"If I had known you were not good at this, I shouldn't have gone with you. It would be easier for me to go by myself." Tong Shouji said with great disgust.
"Go on your own! We didn't stop you." I said angrily.
Seeing that the coffin boards were about to be burned out, the tomb rats surrounding us seemed to have smelled something delicious, and one by one they screamed happily.
Tong Shouji put his hand into his pocket and took out a clay pot that was only as big as a thumb.
"So you have an idea?" I looked at Tong Shouzhi in surprise.
"It's just a civet cat. I don't know if it can control these tomb rats." Tong Shouji opened the stopper of the thumb pot, and a black cat immediately jumped out.
“Meow!”
Although the civet is the soul of the cat, it is still a cat after all! As soon as he saw so many mice in front of him, he suddenly became excited.
Although there are many tomb rats, they are rats after all. When they hear a cat meowing. One by one, they immediately ran away in fear.
"Since you have a civet, why didn't you take it out earlier!" I said to Tong Shouji speechlessly.
“There are so many tomb rats, how do I know if the civet can deal with it? It took me many years of hard work to develop it. It would be a pity if it died in the hands of these tomb rats. Ah!" Tong Shouji said with lingering fear.
"Cats are the natural enemies of mice. No matter how bad a cat is, it can scare the hell out of a mouse by meowing like that in front of a mouse." Yi Ba said.
“Let’s leave quickly!” Tong Shouji said.
Although all the tomb rats ran away without a trace, for the sake of safety, Tong Shouji did not rush to take the civet back, but let the little guy lead the way.
With the civet leading the way, I suddenly felt more at ease. Apart from anything else, at least with this civet here, the tomb rats would never dare to come and cause trouble again.
"Why do I feel like we are about to arrive!" Yi Ba suddenly let out such a sigh.
Arrived? Isn't this a bit too sudden? I looked around and found that there was no big difference between the surroundings and just now!
“Are you sure you’re here?” Tong Shou asked Yi Ba.
"If we walk forward for at most a quarter of an hour, we can reach the main chamber of the Prince Consort's Tomb." Yi Ba said in a very sure tone.
There is no need to doubt Yi Ba's accomplishments in tombs. He said a quarter of an hour at most, but it was really only a quarter of an hour. After walking forward for almost a quarter of an hour, I saw Uncle Duan and the others.
At this time, they were standing in front of a stone door. The stone gate was at least over a foot high and was tightly closed. It was engraved with patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, as well as some strange symbols.
Judging from the sad expressions on Uncle Duan's and others' faces, it seemed that there was nothing they could do about the stone gate in front of them.
“You guys arrived quite early!” I greeted Uncle Duan and the others with a smile.
“It’s pretty fast!” Uncle Duan glanced at the four of us and said, “How did you four get together?”
"The Prince Consort's Tomb is very dangerous. If we don't go together, we won't be able to get here." I said.
"It's useless even here." Uncle Duan sighed and said, "I have been studying this stone gate with Taoist Gan for a long time, but we still can't figure out the reason. If you want to open this door and go in, it seems that it is Nothing is possible.”
“Since it’s impossible, let’s go out together!”
"I almost lost my life just to come to the Prince Consort's Tomb. If I just go out like this, can I be worthy of the trip I made?" Uncle Duan looked at Yi Ba with a smile and said: "Daoist Master Yi is the most capable among us. If you want to open this stone door, you probably have to do it yourself, Taoist Yi!" "
"It took a lot of effort to get to the Prince Consort's Tomb. It would be a bit of a pity not to go in and take a look." Yi Ba walked over and opened the stone door from top to bottom. He went down, looked at it from bottom to top, and then said: "This stone gate looks very weird!"
"So, Taoist Master Yi, have you seen some tricks?" Uncle Duan immediately became interested when he heard what Yi Ba said.
“If you can see the doorway so easily, is this the Prince Consort’s Tomb?” Yi Ba shook his head and said: “I can’t see why this stone door is here, and naturally there is no reason for it. There is no way to open it. You guys, it’s better not to place your hopes on me.”
“ Since you can't open this stone door, why are you still here?" Gan Qiming glared at Yi Ba coldly and said, "Is it possible that you want to wait for us to open this stone door, pick up the ready-made one, and follow us in?" br>
"From what Taoist Gan said, it seems that you can open this stone door?" I asked with a smile. "Since it is a door, it can be opened." Gan Qiming paused and said, "It's just that it will take a lot of effort to find a way to open this stone door. If the three of you are willing to help, we can help you." After the stone door is opened, everyone can go in together. If you don’t want to, please leave immediately.”
