Chapter 15: The Road to the Underworld
Chapter 15: The Road to the Underworld
Mo Lang felt that he was right in objecting to bringing the princess to the Huainan Mausoleum at the beginning, and he should have insisted on keeping the princess in the inn.
The tricks of the Han people are always emerging one after another, making people overwhelmed. Even if he is a dead person, his tomb is full of strange mechanisms and formations, and there are countless sinister things that make people die without a place to bury them. After the reminder, they were fully prepared to come, but two hours passed, and they still hadn't found out where the main chamber of the tomb was.
This time when they came to the Central Plains, they were ordered by the leader to accomplish two major tasks, one of which was to find the princess, which has been done now, and the second major task was to find the main tomb of Huainan King Tomb and take it away. The same treasure, but the specific treasure is only known to him and the other two's immediate superiors, Black Moon Protector Luo Song.
They were trapped on the 23-step staircase for more than an hour before they found a way to go down. During the process, in order to prevent the princess from escaping, Luo Song gave her enough magic to make her sleep for three days. Medicine, now he and Abu are taking turns to carry the princess forward, already tired and thirsty, he just hoped to leave this ghost place quickly, find a place to rest and drink some water, but things backfired, as soon as they found the exit, they In big trouble.
Now Luo Song is busy shaking the death bell, taking away batch after batch of ghosts who came from nowhere. Those ghosts appeared many times when they entered the tomb, but they were afraid of The magic weapon in Luo Song's hand didn't dare to get close, and now they don't know what kind of evil they are, so they rushed towards here desperately (although they were already dead), and surrounded them with sharp howling ghosts and wolves. Although those ineffective little ghosts couldn't hurt them, they also made it difficult for them to move forward.
Mo Lang carried the princess on his back and felt a little tired, so he exchanged glances with Abu Du, put the sack on his back, stepped forward, and said, "Boss, it's not an option to go on like this, I see these ghosts It’s impossible to come here for no reason, it must be driven by something, I’ll try to rush out and check the situation.”
"Well," the blue veins on Luo Song's temples were throbbing. The death clock was already exhausting his energy, and he couldn't last long if he went on like this. He glanced at Moran, shook his head, and said to another subordinate: "You, Yalisi, go outside to check, don't forget to bring the guide bee, if you find anything, just blow the gu flute and let us know."
"Yes!"
After Yalisi responded, Luo Song accelerated the speed of chanting the incantation, and suddenly, "Drink!", he lifted the death bell into the air, and the silver rune on the bell emitted a dazzling light, Forced the surrounding ghosts to retreat, Yalisi played by ear, and turned towards the exit.
As soon as Yalisi left, those ghosts quickly surrounded them again, but they seemed to be afraid of the power of the death knell and never dared to approach easily, but they were still hanging in the air, lingering around the remaining three people.
"Boss, I think these ghosts seem to be trapping us here intentionally, and I don't know what the purpose is." Mo Lang said: "Why don't we forcefully rush out, and don't let their trick succeed."
"The treachery of the Han people is the same no matter whether they are alive or dead," Luo Song said in a deep voice, "We have the princess with us now, even if we want to get the treasure from the Huainan King's Tomb, the princess will not allow the slightest mistake. Don't spoil the leader's affairs on the spur of the moment, and wait for Yalisi to come back from exploring the way first, and then make plans."
"Yes, chief."
Mo Lang responded, and retreated to Abudu's side, but thought in his heart that if you hadn't been suspicious and wanted to bring the princess along, it wouldn't be such a trouble now.
After a stick of incense passed, there was no news from Yalisi, but the surrounding ghosts still disappeared.
Both Morang and Abu were suspicious, looked at each other silently, and then looked at Luo Song.
"The leader..."
"Shh, keep quiet!" But Luo Song yelled, "What kind of sound do you hear?"
Mo Lang had already listened carefully, and the ghost whistled in between, mixed with a cold flute sound, which came from nowhere.
"Someone is playing the flute?!"
"It's the sound of playing the flute, but it's not certain whether it's a human being or not." Luo Song sneered, but his expression was not so relaxed. "Play the gu flute to see if you can connect with Ya Lisi."
"Yes, chief."
Mo Lang responded and took out his Gu flute to play.
This Gu flute is made in a special way, and the sound it blows is silent. Only people equipped with the same Gu flute can sense the weak frequency with a specific technique. Different flute sounds have different meanings. , one of the four of them was equipped with a gu flute, and they set a secret signal for contact before they set off.
After a while, the echo of Yalisi was heard, and at the same time, those circling ghosts suddenly let out a scream at the same time, and began to flee in all directions, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
"It seems that Shi Yalisi has found the mechanism to crack it," Luo Song said, "Let's wait for him to come back first."
"Yes, chief."
Then another stick of incense time passed, but still no Yalisi came back, only the sound of Gu flute could be heard.
"Boss, Yalisi seems to have discovered something and is calling us over," Moran said.
"Well, then let's go over and have a look, maybe Yalisi has found clues to the main chamber of this mausoleum."
Because only the four of them knew the secret signal for the Gu flute connection, they didn't feel suspicious, after tidying up, they searched in the direction that Yalisi sent the secret signal.
This time, Mo Lang carried the princess on his back and walked in the middle, Luo Song explored the road ahead, and Abu Du broke the road behind. The three of them walked along the tomb path, and they would follow Ya Lisi to make a worm with Gu insects at every corner. Turning the corner at the sign, walking forward like this for a while, suddenly saw a white mist rising inexplicably ahead, with a hint of sweet fragrance in the mist, Luo Song yelled badly, and directed the two to stop.
The white mist came extremely fast, and within a moment, it surrounded the three of them heavily. The thick mist made the three of them hardly see the direction of the front and back, so they had to lean together.
Before they entered the tomb, they had taken Baicao Avoiding Poison Pill, and they had been producing poison all the year round, so they were not afraid of ordinary poisons, but the mist was strange, and they didn't know if there was another way in it, so they didn't dare to act rashly for a while. .
"Be careful, keep an eye on the princess," Luo Song said, "The treasure in the tomb is nothing more than the treasure, if the princess is lost, how can we survive!"
Before the words fell, suddenly——
"Ah."
In the smoke, there was an ethereal chuckle, and the three of them were all startled, and they were busy calming down, not daring to make another sound.
"Ah!"
There was another laugh, this time closer, but they still couldn't tell where the sound came from, they just vaguely thought it was a young woman's laughter, but it was a laugh, but it was too intrusive.
Mo Lang once heard a saying in the Han people, "It is better to hear ghosts cry than to hear ghosts laugh." Now this female ghost who can laugh is far more powerful than those lonely ghosts who can only cry.
In the meantime, Luo Song didn't dare to be careless, and Fu took out the death bell again, activated the spell, and made a sound of death.
"Hehehe."
However, the female ghost laughed even harder. This time, Moran even felt the laughter as if it was right next to his ears, which made his skin crawl.
"Boss, this female ghost doesn't seem to be afraid of Deathstroke, what should I do?"
Mo Lang grasped the sack on his back tightly. He didn't know if it was because he had carried it for a long time. He just felt that the bag was getting heavier and heavier. He was about to ask Abudu to change it with him. When he turned around, he saw that there was nothing behind him. Abdu's figure!
"Abudu!" Mo Lang yelled, only to hear his own voice resounding in the narrow tomb passage, interspersed with the sneer of a few female ghosts, as if mocking his ignorance.
"Mo Lang! What are you doing!" Luo Song was almost frightened by Moran who suddenly yelled, turned around and gave him a hard look.
"Boss! Abu is gone!" Mo Lang widened his eyes and panicked, "He was clearly behind me just now!"
Hearing that Abu Du disappeared out of thin air, Luo Song was also shocked.
"What to do, chief?"
Seeing that the death bell has no effect on the female ghost who can't see the end of the dragon, Luo Song gritted his teeth, first put the bell away, and then took out his Gu flute, playing for a while, this time, not only Abu All, even the earlier Yalisi did not respond.
"not good!"
Luo Song knew that he was in the middle of the game. Earlier they relied on the guidance of the leader in advance for their actions. Now, accidents have been happening frequently since they got out of the Hanging Soul Ladder. .
Now surrounded by this white mist, it is difficult to advance and retreat, and now I don't care what happens to Yalisi and Abudu, I can only take the princess and leave first, and then plan the next plan.
"let's go!"
"But the leader, Abdu and Yalisi..."
"It's a small thing for them to get lost. If we continue to delay and lose the princess, none of us will survive!" Luo Song said angrily, "Quickly release the guide bee, and find the exit first."
"Yes, leader." Knowing that the matter was serious, Moran didn't dare to say much, he hurriedly took out a small wooden box from his arms, opened the lid, and a blood-red wild bee as big as a thumb flew out of it. After lingering in the air for a while, he flew towards the front of the two of them.
Luo Song winked at Moran, "Follow me."
The two of them didn't say much anymore, they just continued to move forward after the guide bee queen, and after a while, they heard the cold flute sound that they had heard at the exit of the hanging soul ladder again, and the white mist became more and more intense. It's getting thicker and thicker, almost to the point where you can't see your fingers.
"Hehehe..."
In the mist, the sound of the flute accompanied by the sneer of the female ghost surrounded the two of them like a shadow, and Morang was already panicked. He heard Luo Song breathing heavily in front of him, and knew that the other party was just like him now, and he became even more nervous. .
Suddenly, the sound of the flute stopped, only a faint female voice sounded behind the two of them.
"You two, where are you going..."
Morang was startled, turned around and slapped him, but there was nothing behind him, so there was no shadow.
"Leader!"
When he looked back, he couldn't see Luo Song's figure in front of him, even the guide bee disappeared, and there was a vast white mist in front, back, left, and right, and the sound of flute and sneer sounded from all directions again.
"Don't go~"
The voice was full of charm, and it rang in Mo Lang's ears again. For a moment, he felt his cheek was brushed coldly by a hand. On the other side of the scene, he could see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the sky was covered with red clouds. Rivers of blood flowed under his feet, countless pieces of scattered meat splashed, and on top of the piled up corpses, two long swords, one red and one green, complemented each other.
"There is no way to defeat demons, to rebel against one's heart, kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Surrender your life to eliminate demons, kill! Kill! Kill!"
"what!!!"
Mo Lang couldn't bear such a scene, he only heard a scream, then dropped the sack on his back, and ran forward desperately.
Mo Lang ran away for a while, and saw the fog gradually dissipate, showing the original cross intersection, and from behind, Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli slowly came forward, and Solanum nigrum was attached to the Wangshu sword, Quietly floating beside the two of them.
"Hey! It's useless, what kind of tomb are you so timid to steal?" Han Lingsha laughed as she looked in the direction where the Miao man ran away just now, and then she looked at Solanum nigrum and said, "Xiao Kui, look at how cute you are." , I didn't expect to be quite good at scaring people. I think that Miao people have been going crazy for a while, but unfortunately I didn't see how you scare them at the Hanging Soul Ladder just now. How can you scare them all by yourself? The four were too frightened to act rashly."
"No, no, if sister Mengli didn't know how to blow that weird flute to lure them out first, and then smoke separated them, and sister Lingsha, you help me laugh, I, I wouldn't be able to scare them Yes," Solanum nigrum hurriedly waved her hands, then bowed her head a little shyly and said, "Sister Lingsha smiled so much...but she really looks more like me...she looks like..."
"Like a ghost, right?" Han Lingsha smiled and said, "I used to encounter Li Guixiao in the tomb when I was robbing tombs in western Hunan. I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time, but generally speaking, you two are the best. We took care of those few Miao people without any effort, and now we have knocked three out and scared one away, and we're done, we're done."
"Lingsha, if you weren't familiar with the structure of the tomb, we wouldn't be able to separate those Miao people so easily," Liu Mengli said softly, "It's thanks to you this time."
"Oh, let's stop boasting to each other here, I'm so embarrassed to hear it," Han Lingsha waved her hands hastily, and said, "Let's see how this little girl is doing!"
After saying that, he went forward to untie the sack that was still on the ground, and after a while, the knot on the mouth was picked away, and a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old was exposed in the sack, wearing two buns.
Han Lingsha took off the whole sack and put it aside, but saw that the girl's eyes were closed tightly, her complexion was pale, her appearance was pure and pleasant, her hands and feet were bound by hemp rope, her chest rose and fell slightly, she seemed to be in a coma middle.
"It's a crime! Those bastards treated a child like this." Han Lingsha scolded, and hurriedly broke the hemp rope on the girl's hands and feet, and said to Mengli: "Mengli, this child was raped by those Miao The person is drugged, do you have a way to undo it?"
It seems that it was too cheap to just knock them out before, so we should kick them a little more.
"No hurry, Lingsha," Liu Mengli waved her hand lightly, and said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time, and those Miao people will wake up after being sleepy for a long time. Let's take this little sister out of here first. Bar."
"But if you don't wake her up, what will you do if those Miao people chase her up?"
"Sister Mengli, Sister Lingsha," Solanum nigrum hurriedly said, "I can take you flying with the sword, very quickly, but the tomb passage here is narrow, we have to find a way to go outside first."
"Really! That's great!" Han Lingsha said happily when she heard it: "It's not too late, let's go."
After saying that, he carried the little girl on his back, supported her with one hand, and took Liu Mengli with the other hand, saying: "Xiaokui, let's go!"
"Lingsha..." Liu Mengli hesitated for a while, and finally raised her hand held by Han Lingsha, and said, "Now I can see it here, and it is illuminated by Xiaokui's Wangshu sword light, you... What am I doing?"
"The gravel and dirt on the ground are so right, I'm afraid you might accidentally trip over it!" Han Lingsha cocked her neck and answered as a matter of course, but for some reason, her face turned red and she let go of her hand.
"Sister Lingsha, you are shy."
"How can I have!"
Liu Mengli smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when she heard a miserable howl from the depths of the tomb, like the Miao man just now, all three of them were startled, but immediately heard a loud roar, I don't know where it came from, Then I saw the tomb trembled for a while, and it was about to fall.
"—!"
Liu Mengli's face changed, but she saw Solanum nigrum hurriedly said: "It's not good! The person who came is not kind, we can't deal with that guy right now, let's go!"
"I know!" Han Lingsha took Liu Mengli's hand again, and said, "I'm really afraid that you will fall! Be careful of your own foot injury!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Mengli to speak, he dragged her back and ran wildly in the same direction.
