Chapter 42
"You ask me, who do I ask? Maybe it's somewhere else in this ancient tomb, maybe it has become a part of the nutrients of this earth, or maybe we are wrong at all, they didn't come down at all, maybe they will all come back now We've arrived in City F, but the three of us ended up staying here." Xun Youling looked around, but didn't have time to reply.
"Hey, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, nor did I want to." Jiang Qiao said weakly.
Ji Xinxi's eyes swept over the five stone gates one by one, but he didn't hear the sound of the stone gates opening just now, and he didn't see any abnormality in the five stone gates at this time. It should not be that something came from behind the stone gates when they didn't know Come on, she said: "Now is not the time to worry about who is the cause, let's focus on the things in front of us first."
As soon as she finished speaking, a dull knocking sound suddenly sounded in the tomb, as if something was hitting some kind of hard object. The three of them were all startled by the sudden sound, and stood upright in unison. He squeezed his ears and held his breath to hear where the sound came from.
The three of them were silent, and in this huge tomb, the knocking sound became extraordinarily clear.
"Bang bang bang, bang, bang, bang bang." The knocking sounds didn't seem to be regular, but the three of them could hear the source of the sound, which was coming from the huge stone tripod in the middle of the pool.
When the three of them gathered together, they all set their sights on the huge stone tripod. This stone tripod is square in shape, with a length and width of more than three meters. Although there is no cover above, if you don't climb up, you won't be able to see the tripod. of the stuff.
"What, what should I do? The one in this cauldron is not the female ghost from before, is it?" Jiang Qiao put his bag back on his back and held the gun in his hand. He feels a little safe.
Xun Youling and Ji Xinxi didn't talk to each other. They glanced at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a while. Since they went down to this tomb, the ancient tomb has been lingering with Yin Qi all the year round, and the entire ancient tomb has been shrouded in Yin Qi. At this time It is obviously futile to rely on Yin Qi induction.
"I'll take a look." Xun Youling frowned, staring at Shi Ding in front of him and said, at this moment, there was no knocking sound from the Shi Ding, and it returned to the dead silence it was before.
Ji Xinxi wanted to dissuade Xun Youling, but she couldn't persuade Xun Youling. She pursed her lips and said nothing, but followed Xun Youling directly, and walked towards the middle of the pool together, keeping a distance of one meter from Xun Youling In the meantime, if something happens, you can help immediately.
When the two came to the stone tripod, Xun Youling glanced at Ji Xinxi who was beside him, his eyes moved slightly, and then turned his head to look at the stone tripod in front of him. Perhaps because of the damp water pool, there were many moss growing on the stone tripod.
She tentatively reached out and touched it. The slippery touch was very uncomfortable. Jiang Qiao, who stayed on the edge of the pool, saw that the two of them were silent, and couldn't help asking: "How is it? Did you see something coming?" ?”
Xun Youling frowned, ignored Jiang Qiao's words, walked around the stone tripod for a few steps, and suddenly smelled an unpleasant rancid smell at the tip of her nose. She hurriedly covered her nose and took a step back, returned to Ji Xinxi's side and said: "I smelled an unpleasant smell. I don't know if it is poisonous, so I will go back first."
Hearing the words, Ji Xin also smelled the rancid smell in the air, nodded and was about to turn around. Just as the two of them turned their heads, there was another knocking sound from the stone cauldron behind them, this time the knocking sound It was not as calm as before, but a series of hasty knocks, as if they were desperately trying to stay because they were afraid of their departure.
But the rapid knocking sound did not achieve the desired effect of the sound owner. Ji Xinxi and the two were startled by the sudden knocking sound, and they walked back to the pool without stopping.
"What's the situation? I talked to you, but you didn't return. What did you do there? Why do you seem to be making people anxious?" Jiang Qiao leaned over and asked, but kept looking at Shiding in the middle of the pool.
"Why do you have so many questions all day long? You, a big man, are huddled behind our two girls' houses, wanting to know. Go and see for yourself!" Xun Youling replied impatiently.
Jiang Qiao pursed his lips. He was just asking, but what Xun Youling said was true. Although men and women are equal now, but at this moment, he is a boy who is in his youth. It's really shameful to be protected by a delicate girl, and he has caused a lot of trouble along the way. Although he is a professional, he can't do nothing, no.
Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, feeling a little more courageous, stepped forward and said, "I'll climb up to have a look."
Xun Youling was taken aback for a moment, she was just talking about it, she didn't really mean to ask Jiang Qiao to see it by himself, after all, in her eyes, Jiang Qiao was just an ordinary college student who didn't know much about ancient tombs, neither Knowing the art of yin and yang, he can only act as a manual laborer in this matter.
"Don't try your best, some things don't just take courage."
Jiang Qiao couldn't listen to Xun Youling's persuasion at the moment, and was determined to go up to check it out. Ji Xinxi looked at him and finally said, "Well, I'll step on you to go up. If there is any problem inside, we can retreat." Faster, and the moss isn't that easy to climb up here."
"Why didn't I step on it..." Jiang Qiao covered his mouth in the middle of his words, and he also felt that his brain was really flooded, and his words were really incomprehensible.
He patted his mouth lightly, then nodded to Ji Xinxi, Xun Youling wanted to interject and let her go up, but before she could say a word, the two moved very quickly.
Over there, Ji Xinxi had already stepped on Jiang Qiao's shoulder, and she supported the stone tripod to keep her balance. Finally, when Jiang Qiao stood upright, the edge of the stone tripod was around her waist.
She was worried that the rancid smell might be poisonous, but she didn't feel uncomfortable between the few people talking, so she guessed it was probably just a non-toxic irritating gas.
Standing on a high place, Ji Xinxi finally had a clear view of the situation in the tripod. Facing the scene in front of her, she was also shocked. Such a big tripod was full of bones, and the top bones seemed to be Not long after it was put in, the rancid smell became more and more intense here, and the smoke was so delicate that it even made my eyes sting.
Xun Youling looked anxiously at Ji Xinxi above, and she didn't dare to ask casually, for fear that something might happen if Ji Xinxi was disturbed, while Jiang Qiao's face was flushed red at Ji Xinxi's feet. He gritted his teeth and held on, in order not to let go of his breath, he had no choice but to free his hand briefly and knocked on the stone cauldron, intending to urge Ji Xinxi to hurry up.
However, Jiang Qiao's knocking these few times seemed to resonate with the previous knocking sound, and there was a strong feedback from inside the stone tripod.
Ji Xinxi on the top pulled up the neckline of his clothes to block out part of the smell, and began to look carefully at the bones full of bones. No matter how many bones there are, it is impossible for him to come alive and play a knocking game with them.
Under Ji Xinxi's observation, she found that the bones didn't seem to be all human bones, but most of them looked like animal bones. How could there be so many animal bones here?Just when Ji Xinxi was wondering, the pile of bones in the tripod suddenly moved upwards.
She immediately raised her vigilance, bent her waist slightly, and was ready to escape at any time, but she thought for a moment and turned to Xun Youling and said, "Give me the gun on Jiang Qiao's body."
When Xun Youling heard the words, he immediately untied Jiang Qiao's gun, handed it to Ji Xinxi, and entrusted him, "Don't force yourself, life-saving is the most important thing."
Ji Xinxi nodded and took the gun handed over by Xun Youling. She aimed the muzzle at the place where the bones had just moved, and stared intently at it. In fact, she already had preliminary calculations in her heart.
If there are resentful spirits under the pile of bones, then there is no need to engage in such nonsense, why not just rush out of Shiding and deal with the three of them?So she preliminarily judged that the thing in the cauldron should not be a wraith. Since it is not a spirit body, the bullet can cause substantial damage to it.
In the tomb they are in now, the five stone walls are tightly closed, and they have no time to study it. If the thing inside is really a living thing that can move, when he really comes out, he will have to clean up the other party. It's more difficult, so it's better to seize the opportunity and give this guy a shot at the first time, and fight first.
Ji Xinxi didn't say a word, and the two people underground didn't dare to speak. They didn't know what Ji Xinxi saw, so they could only focus on Ji Xinxi.
Under the watchful eyes of Ji Xinxi, the pile of bones stirred a few more times. Ji Xinxi, who was tense several times, was about to pull the trigger. It rose again, and this time the movement was louder than the previous few times, causing many bones to roll to the low places on both sides.
Then Ji Xinxi saw a half-flesh and half-bone hand protruding from it. She only felt her scalp tighten, and the gun was sent forward, but she expected a bloody monster crawling out of the bone pile. did not appear.
The hand seemed to be pushed out by something underneath, and when it touched the bones of the forearm, it swayed and rolled to the side. Ji Xinxi blinked and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance and continued to stare at the hand. The place where the disabled hand was pushed out.
But there was a scene that surprised her. This time, a healthy human hand stretched out. The hand looked weak and grasped twice in midair, then dropped down again. Immediately after the knocking sound It rang again.
As the knocking sound stopped, the exposed hand raised once and grabbed twice. At this moment, Ji Xinxi suddenly understood that there was a person inside, and he was sending out a distress signal to them.
"I, I can't do it!" At this moment, Jiang Qiao, who was supporting Ji Xinxi, finally couldn't hold it anymore. His figure swayed twice, and he was about to kneel down.
Ji Xinxi, who was on his shoulder, was holding the gun in his hand, not supporting Shi Ding, and relying on Jiang Qiao to maintain balance. At this time, when Jiang Qiao moved, she lost her strength and fell backwards. She subconsciously He grabbed the edge of the stone tripod with one hand, but only touched the moss with one hand.
Just when Ji Xinxi was ready to fall, a soft embrace caught her, she turned her head and saw Xun Youling's slightly weird expression, and then she found that there were hands on her chest.
"Hey, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, nor did I want to." Jiang Qiao said weakly.
Ji Xinxi's eyes swept over the five stone gates one by one, but he didn't hear the sound of the stone gates opening just now, and he didn't see any abnormality in the five stone gates at this time.
