Zhang Qiling's expression became more and more solemn.
"Senior, why didn't you tell me these things earlier?!" Zhang Qiling roared, furious, "I was almost played by you and applauded!"
"Hahaha !" The old man raised his head and laughed, "You are a pawn, I am just using you.
We each get what we need.
Don't worry, I'll wait until you get rid of the bug completely. I will fulfill my promise and help you regain your physical body.”
Zhang Qiling's face was ashen, he was gritting his teeth, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
This is an illusion!
“Ah! Someone is watching us down here!”
Chen Wenjin exclaimed.
The disciple of the Huo family took a flashlight and shined it down. When he saw the scene clearly, he was so frightened that he fell down a few steps.
"... Corpses!"
Chen Ze frowned and looked down, and found dozens of corpses piled below, but the eyes were staring at them blankly! The bloodless face But there was a weird smile on his face.
Everyone felt scared when they saw it: "Otherwise we should leave quickly, this place is very evil!"
Chen Ze shook his head: "Remember the Kowloon lift we opened before? Is it empty when the coffin is opened?”
This tomb seems not that simple.
The disciples nodded.
"You guys step back first!" Chen Ze ordered.
The other disciples quickly retreated to the entrance of the passage to wait.
Chen Ze untied the rope on his body, took out a dagger from his waist, and gently cut the rope that tied him.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
Chen Wenjin, who was standing next to him, shouted when he saw this.
“Little girl, stop talking!”
Chen Ze scolded her and jumped down.
Chen Wenjin was frightened by Chen Ze's fierce look and could only shut up and stand aside silently.
After Chen Ze jumped down, he quickly ran forward when his feet landed!
Because after just listening to Chen Wenjin's description, Chen Ze knew that these corpses were not simple! So he had to escape from this ghost place quickly.
I just ran for a long time and there was still no end in sight.
“Do we have to dig through the entire passage to find the real exit?”
Thinking of this, Chen Ze rushed forward again!
Chen Ze He ran all the way to the end of the passage and finally stopped.
At this time, Chen Ze was already panting from exhaustion and his chest was heaving violently.
Looking back, I found that the passage behind him had disappeared and was replaced by a cliff!
Chen Ze suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the bottom of the cliff.
Chen Ze propped his dagger on the stone wall, barely keeping his center of gravity, and after a moment of relief, he continued to crawl out.
This time Chen Zexue was smarter. He kept changing the climbing angle while climbing. If he encountered a steep or uneven section, he would turn around and go back the same way, but he would never rush forward like before. !
After repeating this three or four times, Chen Ze finally successfully climbed over the cliff and reached the other side of the cliff.
When Chen Ze stood on a high place and looked at the bottom of the abyss, he suddenly felt as cold as being in an ice cellar, because the bottom was densely covered with countless bones.
And what frightened Chen Ze even more was that there was a rotten female skeleton sitting in the middle of the bones.
"What on earth is this place!" Chen Ze swallowed and muttered to himself.
Chen Ze tried to climb down the cliff, but finally gave up.
Because although the cliff is not perpendicular to the cliff, it is still far away. With Chen Ze's strength, it is impossible to climb to the cliff below. Unless he has professional ropes and equipment, he can climb smoothly.
"Ouch..."
Just as Chen Ze was about to leave, he suddenly felt pain in his right leg. When he looked down, he found that his trouser leg had been cut with a long cut.
"Damn! I was actually scratched!"
Chen Ze cursed secretly, but the wound was not deep, only a trace of blood flowed out, and it did not have much impact.
But Chen Ze didn't dare to be careless. He was worried that he would be scratched, so he decided to avoid the edge for the time being and wait for the wound to heal before making any plans. Chen Ze explored inside the cave, confirmed his current location, and searched around again. After finding nothing dangerous, Chen Ze walked into the cave with confidence and boldness.
The interior of the cave is circular. Chen Ze walked around and found a place that resembled an altar, but it was incomplete.
There are various tributes, incense burners, candlesticks, etc. placed on the altar.
Chen Ze walked around the altar and came to the other end of the cave.
This is a wall made of earth, and the top of the wall is sealed. Obviously, this should be the resting place of the tomb owner.
It’s just that there is nothing else here except the mud wall.
Chen Ze carefully inspected every inch of the land and found a small pit in the corner, which also exuded a stench.
“Is this... corpse oil!”
Chen Ze took a sharp breath.
"Vomit—"
The smell made Chen Ze gag.
"It seems there is something really weird here!" Chen Ze endured the unpleasant smell and came to the mud wall.
I saw Chen Ze reaching out to touch the wall, and suddenly felt that his palms were stained with sticky liquid.
“Ugh~! Ugh~!”
Chen Ze couldn't stand the unpleasant smell anymore, so he turned around and vomited! Fortunately, there wasn't much in Chen Ze's stomach, and he recovered after vomiting twice.
“Oh my god, why are you so dirty!”
Chen Ze looked at the arms stained with corpse oil and felt disgusted. Chen Ze couldn’t help but wonder if this was a bad taste left by the owner of the tomb. .
But now that we have arrived at the core area of the tomb, we must find out whose tomb this is.
So, Chen Ze began to search for clues on this mud wall.
Chen Ze kept knocking and knocking. Finally, Chen Ze found a faint light somewhere on the wall, so he moved towards the light source.
Chen Ze pushed aside a thick layer of dust, and suddenly a black iron box appeared. The iron box was stained with rust, obviously it was old.
“Could this be the box that the tomb owner used during his lifetime?”
Chen Ze guessed and reached out to pull the lock at the same time.
There was a click and the lid of the box came loose.
However, Chen Ze did not rush to open the lid of the box, but looked around vigilantly to prevent anything from suddenly jumping out of it.
After waiting for a long time and making sure that there was no danger inside, Chen Ze carefully opened the lock.
“Hiss~!”
Chen Ze couldn’t help but gasped. There were two pairs of white bones lying in the box. Judging from the size of the bones, they should be men, women, old and young!< br>
So the owner of this tomb is a person who likes to collect corpses.
And it seems that these two skeletons should have been buried with their parents in the graves with their children.
Chen Ze carefully took the two sets of skeletons out of the coffin and placed the skeletal bodies inside the coffin.
"Dad! Mom!"
After placing the bones properly, Chen Ze knelt in front of the coffin and kowtowed three times to the bones.
"Thank you for your guidance, my son is here to save you!" Chen Ze said and kowtowed again.
After kowtowing three times, Chen Ze was ready to get up and leave. After all, the wind was howling here, so it would be better to go back early.
But the moment he stood up, Chen Ze caught a glimpse of a note from the corner of his eye.
Chen Ze picked up the note and showed it to the bones in the coffin. There were several words written on the note: "Be careful!"
These were the last words left by the owner of the tomb, but The owner of the tomb did not tell Chen Ze what to do, but just reminded Chen Ze to be careful.
Chen Ze hesitated for a while, but finally stuffed the letter back into the note, and then put the bones back into the coffin for preservation. (End of chapter)
