Chapter 117: Corpse Gui, Iron Tower
※※
The cave is extremely wide and deep. As soon as Chen Yulou greeted him, engineers immediately lowered their lanterns with long ropes to check.
With the help of the light, everyone was surprised when they saw clearly. It turned out that there was a large osmanthus tree at the bottom of the well. Its branches and leaves were like crowns, and it grew very densely, covering an unknown number of miles.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou felt a sudden change in his heart and asked Zhang Lindao: "Taoist Master, can we go down?"
The reason why Chen Yulou asked Zhang Lin was that this place was very strange. The osmanthus tree grew at the bottom of the mountain relying on the corpse energy in the alchemy well, and the gloomy energy in the lush crown was overwhelming.
The group of thieves stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down. They could feel the cool air in the trees and felt goose bumps all over their bodies.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou and others became more and more curious. Why was this leafy old osmanthus tree at the bottom of the well locked by the stone door?
The cave below is vast and does not look like a secret room containing rare treasures. Chen Yulou secretly cursed and had to ask Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin heard this and said: "Just prepare a retreat."
Chen Yulou nodded when he heard this, and ordered his men to carry the centipede up the mountain ladder, hang it on the osmanthus branch, and go down to find out.
The group of thieves immediately brought bamboo ladders, and each of them carried chickens, knives and guns on their backs and climbed down the windy tree.
When everyone went down, they discovered that the osmanthus tree in the cave was big, but not very tall. It was just that the trunk was very thick and the tree was covered with old and gnarled bark.
A famous thief touched the tree and felt something strange within his reach. He held up a lamp on the bamboo ladder to shine a light on it. Suddenly, he was so frightened that he almost turned over and fell. Fortunately, he was grabbed by the partridge whistle, and the others were also frightened.
Get a boost.
Luo Laowai was very angry, pointed a gun at the thief and cursed: "What the hell is your name?"
Chen Yulou hurriedly asked Luo Laowai to calm down, and then scolded the thief. The thief was still frightened. Seeing the leader Chen Yulou scolding him, he pointed at the osmanthus tree and said: "Chief leader, do you think there is a human face on the trunk of the osmanthus tree?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened. Why was there a human face on the tree? The partridge whistle was the closest, and when they heard this, they also used their lanterns to shine on the trunk of the tree.
The weak light of the lantern illuminated the tree trunk, and everyone took a deep breath when they saw it.
It turns out that the bumps and convexities on the tree's body all form the shape of a person's head and face, which are densely packed, and the eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are vaguely distinguishable. At a quick glance, it turns out that the five senses are complete and very similar to a human face, but the expression on the face of the tree body is different.
They all seemed to be crying and howling, and their faces were distorted and terrifying.
Seeing this, Luo Laowai asked Zhang Lin who was just coming down above him: "Taoist Master, why is this tree so strange and permeable? Could it be that it has become a spirit?"
Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "Don't panic. The peace charm I gave you has no response, which means there is no danger. This is just a Yin Gui plant. You don't need to make a fuss.
Those 'human faces' are just because the osmanthus tree is yin in nature, and there are many corpses buried in the Danjing above, and the corpse energy inside has been absorbed into the tree.
If you cut the tree with a knife, the laurel tree will bleed. This situation will be quite effective in scaring those unknown tomb robbers."
After hearing that there was no danger, Mr. Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "His grandma's fairy palace for alchemy, first there were hundreds of mummy coffins hidden in the alchemy well, and now there is such a plant here that has breathed in the corpse's breath."
Daguishu, these Yuan people are so damn evil, why do you think they did this?"
Everyone had descended to the bottom and were lining up in rows, looking at the big osmanthus tree in front of them. Hearing what Luo Laowai said, the partridge whistle slightly raised its eyebrows and said: "This should be a 'corpse osmanthus', the same as another kind of ghost tree.
Like 'ghost elm', they are rare and ominous things in vegetation.
It is said that this kind of tree is the passage between the Yin and Yang worlds. I don’t know what the Yuan people had in mind when they planted it here.”
Chen Yulou felt the same after hearing this, and heard Zhang Lin said that there was no danger. He immediately led the crowd to climb to the root of the tree, held up lanterns and torches and looked around. He saw that the roots of the osmanthus tree were all rooted into the stone, and there was no hole.
There is no dampness in it, but it is cool to the bone.
This osmanthus grows with the Yin Qi in the ancient corpse, and its branches are so long that they almost reach the ground.
And under the canopy of laurel trees, the scent of incense lingers like a dreamland.
Surrounding the corpse laurel, there are four pavilions built, all of which have the same size and pattern. They are all two-story buildings with cornices and tiles, and windows. When everyone looked at the bottom of the tree, they felt that their vulgar thoughts had been washed away.
It has a feeling of being out of the world, not like the realm of the human world.
But there is no light inside the building. The entire pavilion is dark, even the tiles and window ribs are black. This fairyland-like scenery coexists with the gloomy atmosphere among the old osmanthus trees.
The strong contrast is extremely inconsistent.
The group of thieves looked around under the tree. Although the safety talisman was close to them and the safety talisman did not respond at this time, they still felt that they were in danger and were in danger.
The group of thieves did not need Chen Yulou to give orders, so they spontaneously formed a formation back to back to prevent sudden accidents. After all, the Taoist Master also said that if the secret button of the mechanism is not triggered, the safety charm will not react.
Although Chen Yulou and others were not seriously injured by the ambush in Pingshan, they were still frightened.
Now that I saw the four pavilions under the trees with extraordinarily exquisite carvings and jade balustrades, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
I'm afraid that it is some kind of elaborate fortress.
The group of thieves held up the rattan cards and approached slowly. As they got closer, the exquisite pavilions were still as black as splashed ink, with no color at all. In addition, there were no lamps in the cave, making it seem like the four pavilions had melted into the darkness.
Only Partridge Whistle, with his boldness, extraordinary skill and armor protection, carried a lantern and a mirror box and walked out from the group of thieves, carrying a mirror box, and went to one of the buildings to check.
But the pavilion was so dark that even with the light it was impossible to see it clearly. Only the outline of a hazy house could be seen in the clouds and mist.
He had no choice but to poke the black building with the 'Made in Germany' in his hand, and there was an immediate "dang" sound, as if it had hit an iron plate. Chen Yulou said curiously: "This pavilion is actually fully functional."
Can it be cast from pig iron?"
The Partridge Whistle nodded when he heard this. This attic is indeed made of iron. No wonder it doesn't have the color of green tiles and red tiles.
I think he moved into the mountain tomb when he was thirteen, and there were about ten tombs, large and small, but he had never seen such a weird iron building.
The iron door and iron window are exquisitely decorated and full of hollow patterns. However, they can open doors and windows just like ordinary pavilions.
There is also a building in the building, but it is made entirely of pig iron and is extremely solid. You can't see what's inside from the outside. The outside of the building should be locked organically. Since I don't know where the news is, I didn't dare to enter it for a while. I turned around to discuss with Chen Yulou.
A few sentences.
Chen Yulou thought for a moment and said: "In my opinion, this iron building is definitely not for people to live in. Look, the copper and iron walls are so tight and locked extremely tightly. There must be some treasure hidden inside."
Xiling, people who moved mountains and robbed tombs came here to seek money. Finding this treasure house is like an old cat bumping into a fat mouse. How can anyone not be tempted?
Luo Laowai was even more overjoyed. He said that everyone was lucky and had found such a treasure trove. He shouted that since the peace charm did not respond, there was no danger, and asked Mr. Chen to give the order.
Chen Yulou was embarrassed, and secretly thought that what Luo Laowai said was right. He immediately gave the order and sent out a group of thieves. They were all big and round, and they were all strong men who were good at dismantling and demolition. They still used a pry saw to cut the holes.
method to open this iron building.
Although Xieling had a large number of people, they had to waste a lot of effort to dismantle the iron gate because they could not find the iron gate.
During this period, the thieves discovered that there were hidden weapons such as twins hidden in the four eaves of the building, but they were all rusty and useless, so they did not cause much trouble to the thieves.
