Chapter 118：

"Come here." Jiang Xia led the way and said, "We have walked several times on the road ahead, and the organs have been removed and there is no danger."

Tang Xi walked behind him, and finally Gu Ran.

The path of the tomb is not too narrow, so you can walk side by side, but to make it easier to move around in danger, it is staggered back and forth.

"By the way, is the owner of the tomb a man and a woman?" Gu Ran suddenly asked.

"The woman is a princess. The specific identity needs to be studied." Jiang Xia replied.

"Oh, then did you see a female ghost?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.

"No, no, it should be a man." Jiang Xia shivered, her face paled, and said, "However, it is normal for this kind of high-status tomb owner to have a burial, and it is more likely to be buried with her husband. What's the matter, it's just that we quit in a rush, and we haven't had time to confirm more, so Professor Jiang became anxious."

"You first take us to the tomb where the ghost last time." Tang Xi said.

"Good, good." Jiang Xia swallowed nervously.

"It doesn't matter, we are here." Tang Xi calmed down in a smiling voice.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xia held the flashlight tightly to conceal the fear in her heart.

"Speaking of it, I'm going to fight later, right?" Gu Ran suddenly said, "In such a narrow place, if these murals, cultural relics, etc. are damaged, will we go out by the old gentleman? His drool squirted to death?"

"This is definitely not possible!" When he encountered his profession, Jiang Xia suddenly forgot to be afraid, and couldn't help raising her voice. "The things in it are priceless treasures, and even a little bit of damage is immeasurable!"

"Don't fight, are you going to reason with the ghost?" Gu Ran opened his eyes wide.

"Maybe he can be reasonable." Tang Xi said casually.

"..." Gu Ran was silent for a moment, and said quietly, "I said, the thousand-year-old ghost next to you, is it possible that you fooled it in a reasonable way?"

"Which one are you talking about." Tang Xi asked.

"Which one else? When you played the piano in Nanjiang... No! You have thousands of ghosts on your body!" Gu Ran reacted halfway through the conversation and looked at her in horror.

"Xie Changan, do you want to say hello to him." Tang Xi clapped the string.

"No, I'm not a fighter." Xie Changan chuckled.

But obviously Gu Ran had heard it too, his body was tight, and he was about to draw his sword.

"Don't be surprised, I'm just a reminder." Tang Xi turned her head, glanced at him coolly, and said with no anger, "If you know I am a ghost, don't treat the ghosts around me. Such a big reaction, after all, they are helpers, not enemies."

"They..." Gu Ran asked stiffly, "How many?"

"It depends on the need." Tang Xi was ambiguous. She wasn't familiar with Gu Ran to the point where she could show all of her hole cards.

Jiang Xia, who was walking in the front, kept sweating, and the clothes behind him were wet and glued to his skin, and he was blown by the cold wind in the tomb, making his heart cold.

This kind of topic is really scary!

"Well, it collapsed in front?" Tang Xi said.

"Yes." Jiang Xia calmly said, "Last month there was a rare heavy rain that caused soil erosion. This ancient tomb was discovered because the rain poured into the tomb. Professor Jiang... Grandpa was afraid of it. Important cultural relics were damaged, and rescue excavations were carried out urgently. Who knows..."

"Wait a minute." Tang Xi stopped.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xia asked in doubt, "The tomb passage here is blocked by a landslide. We need to go around from the other side."

"I don't think it's quite right." Tang Xi frowned, turned on her spike flashlight, and a strong light shone on the collapsed mound.

"This place... doesn't seem to be right." Gu Ran stood beside her, squinting his eyes and said.

"Wh, what's wrong?" Jiang Xia stammered, "Couldn't, the ghost ran out of this collapsed cave? But the cave was sealed for the first time."

"The corpse is still in the tomb. Under normal circumstances, a ghost can't leave his corpse too far away." Tang Xi said, turning her head, "You go up and see?"

"Why me?" Gu Ran complained.

"Because I don't want to climb." Tang Xi took it for granted.

However, Gu Ran really complained. Before she could answer, he took off the bag on his back, moved a little, and dexterously climbed up the **** of more than sixty degrees.

"How is it?" Tang Xi held a flashlight below to illuminate him.

"Unsurprisingly." Gu Ran quickly replied, "The entrance of the hole was opened and carefully sealed again. The traces are very new, no more than a day."

"Not more than a day?" Jiang Xia was startled, and blurted out, "Isn't this to say that there are other people in the tomb besides us?"

"No surprise." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of disgust in her tone, "Here, news of the unearthed ancient tombs has leaked out, but the archaeological team temporarily evacuated for unknown reasons. Thieves opportunity."

"So those tomb robbers are still inside now?" Jiang Xia couldn't help lowering her voice.

"It should be correct." Gu Ran leaped down, patted the dust on his hands, lifted the backpack and shook his shoulders, and explained, "The last trace of the hole was opened from the outside, and then sealed from the inside to cover it, indicating that someone did not come in again. Go out the same way. In less than a day, it is very likely that you will still be inside."

"I'm really not afraid of death." Tang Xi sneered.

Jiang Xia froze for a moment before remembering that this seemed to be a...haunted ancient tomb?

This hapless tomb thief has been inside for almost a day, is he still alive?

"Let's go, continue to lead the way." Tang Xi patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh." Jiang Xia turned to illuminate another tomb passage with a flashlight, "We have to go this way, but here we haven't had time to dismantle all the institutions..."

"But it seems that someone has helped us to dismantle it." Tang Xi interrupted him.

Jiang Xia looked at the clear footprints left on the ground and was speechless.

This section of the tomb was once flooded with muddy water. After it dries, there is a thick layer of mud on the ground. As long as someone walks past it, it is impossible not to leave footprints.

The orderly rows of footprints seem to have been for a while, but the top is covered with a few rows of fresh messy footprints.

"Man, he is about 1.7 meters tall and he is quite thin, which meets the needs of the tomb thief. There are two to three people, and there is not much difference in body shape." Tang Xi glanced at the sidewalk.

"How do you know?" Gu Ran asked in surprise.

"Read more." Tang Xi glanced at him pityingly.

"What?" Gu Ran couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm a policeman, or a policeman in the crime team." Tang Xi added.

Gu Ran was flabbergasted for a while before remembering, and then hesitated, the knowledge of trace inspection seems to be quite useful? Do you want to learn?

The three of them walked along the tomb passage for a while, and really saw these iron short arrows scattered on the ground.

"It looks like the technology is not bad?" Tang Xi couldn't say whether it was admiration or irony.

"Maybe I can sneak around that ghost and play for a while." Gu Ran vomited.

Listening to their jokes, Jiang Xia's expression became more and more ugly.

After a section of the tomb passage, there is another fork in the road.

"Which way to go?" Tang Xi asked.

"Ah." Jiang Xia came back to his senses and quickly concentrated on looking for the direction.

"How far is it?" Tang Xi said.

"It's not far from the tomb where the ghost was last time. We didn't go too deep. Although we roughly determined the location of the main tomb, we didn't have time to open it." Jiang Xia explained.

"Wait." Tang Xi stopped suddenly.

"Why..." Jiang Xia muffled before finishing her sentence.

Without the sound of their own footsteps, the tomb was so quiet that you could hear your own breathing, heartbeat, and even blood flow, not to mention the sound of "dongdongdong" coming from a distance.

"Footsteps." Tang Xi affirmed.

"I'm afraid it's the group of tomb robbers." Gu Ran squeezed his fist, stood at the forefront, and easily pulled Jiang Xia to the end of the team.

Perhaps seeing the light from the flashlight, the footsteps paused, and then he rushed over here.

In less than a minute, I saw a thin figure rushing over from the other side of the tunnel.

"You guessed it quite right." Gu Ran sighed.

"Guess what, is this a crime profile?" Tang Xi was dissatisfied.

"Get out! Get out!" The man who rushed over was full of horror, waving his arms.

"There is a gun." Tang Xi's eyes narrowed.

Although it is a very crude earthen hand|gun, once it is related to a gun, the nature of the case has completely changed. Are the grave robbers so arrogant now?

Gu Ran was also afraid that he would raise his hand in panic with a shot. He pressed his body against the wall of the tomb and "swim" with a strange posture. He grabbed the muzzle and raised it, and at the same time, his fingers stuck in the trigger. , The whole process takes less than three seconds.

In Jiang Xia's eyes, the man just flashed and caught the tomb thief, making him wonder if the time he blinked had skipped more than ten seconds.

"Who are you? Get out of the way! Run!" The man who was caught by the wrist yelled hysterically while struggling.

"It seems that I can't communicate." Gu Ran at close range clearly saw that his pupils were dilated. It was obvious that he was mentally abnormal, and he immediately stunned the person with a hand knife.

"This..." Jiang Xia was dumbfounded.

Is it so simple and rude?

"It's okay." Tang Xi said calmly, "fainting is actually a self-protection mechanism in which the brain spontaneously enters a closed state after the emotion of fear exceeds the psychological tolerance of the person. ’S psychological trauma, referred to as madness."

"So, it's okay if you fainted?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Well, fainting cut off his fear. The next time he wakes up, it is very likely to return to normal." Tang Xi nodded.

"Are you still free in popular science? The things you are chasing behind are coming." Gu Ran held the handle of the knife in one hand, fixed his eyes on the front of the tomb passage, hooked his heel, and kicked the unconscious tomb thief a few meters back.

"Organization? Living creature? Ghost?" Tang Xi asked.

"It's not a ghost." Gu Ran glanced at the motionless pointer on his wrist and said.

After a while, another rustling sound was heard in the ear, as if something was sliding along the wall and the ground.

"Hey...couldn't it be..." Tang Xi's face suddenly became ugly.

"Probably this is the one you don't want to see." Gu Ran remembered that the last time Miao Hong was released to treat Gu worms, his scalp was tingling. He was about to have intensive phobia, okay?

"I can't locate it again." Tang Xi said solemnly.

"I know...but fortunately, this amount should not be so excessive." Gu Ran slowly withdrew the knife.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Xia said cautiously.

"Look at him, don't move." Tang Xi took a kick and kicked the hapless tomb thief to his side.

"Here," Gu Ran shouted.

At this moment, several people saw something slowly swimming over on the wall and on the ground.

"Lots of snakes!" Jiang Xia exclaimed. However, compared to ghosts, he, an archaeological team member who has been working under the tomb all year round, adapts well to snakes. It is a bit strange and authentic, "What kind of snake is this? It doesn't seem to be in the album. Have you seen something similar. And, shouldn’t this be something left over thousands of years ago? Even the life span of snakes shouldn’t be that long, right?”

"No matter what variety it is, kill it first. I don't know if it is poisonous. Be careful not to get bitten." Tang Xi reminded.

"I know." Gu Ran said, with a wave of the knife, a few pieces of snakes fell from the top of his head, and they were still twisting on the ground.

Before I knew it, a lot of them even appeared on the top of my head.

Jiang Xia immediately took out the medicine powder from his pocket and sprinkled it around, and threw a handful on the top of his head. Suddenly, the pungent smell of realgar filled the tomb.

"Snee!" Tang Xi couldn't help but sneezed.

"Sorry, sorry." Jiang Xia said quickly.

"It's okay, but these snakes don't seem to react that much to the realgar." Gu Ran said as he tackled the snake that had crawled over.

These snakes are all white, only the eyes are red as rubies, and the whole body is covered with thin scales. If they meet a breeder who likes cold-blooded animals, they may still feel very beautiful. Of course, no matter how beautiful it is, the sight of hundreds of snakes together will become terrifying. Fortunately, the snake is white, which is particularly conspicuous on the dark wall, as long as there is a small flashlight, it can be seen clearly.

Even though the realgar was all around, the snakes seemed to hesitate a little, and did not retreat in a panic.

Tang Xi wiped his left eye, opened the unilateral ghost pupil, and then his expression sank.

Normally, she couldn't see the living creatures in the sun when she was in the state of ghost pupils, but now, in her eyes on the left and right sides, those snakes are well-existed.

Gu Ran's dial did not respond, and physical attacks could kill snakes, indicating that these were indeed living creatures, but they didn't look like ordinary living creatures.

"Have you found anything? Can you help me?" Gu Ran shouted.

It's not that he wants to ask for help, but he is a knife who is really not good at dealing with these small and many poisonous snakes!

"Catch me a little bit of research." Tang Xi said, flipping both hands, each pinched a spark, and gently blew it out.

"Boom!" The sparks fell on the snakes, as if splashing oil, spread all of a sudden.

"Cultural relics!" Jiang Xia jumped anxiously.

"It's okay, it won't spread." Tang Xi was confident.

Sure enough, Gu Ran took the knife, grabbed the seven inches of a white snake, and rescued the little thing from the sea of ​​fire. After a few seconds, a water curse extinguished the flame.

An unpleasant burnt smell remained in the tomb passage.

"..." Jiang Xia felt that she might have strayed into the shooting scene of the fantasy movie. Not right, fantasy movies are all post-production with computer special effects, so it's impossible to shoot like that!

"Strange." Gu Ran kicked the ashes with his toes, and muttered, "Even if you use a spirit fire, it only takes a few seconds for a living thing to be burned to ashes so clean, right?"

"These snakes are half-yin and half-yang things." Tang Xi walked over, took out a soul cultivation pearl, tried it, and she was able to put away the only remaining white snake.

"Half Yin and half Yang?" Gu Ran puzzled.

"Originally ordinary snake eggs, but they have not been hatched. They have been nourished by Yin Qi for many years, and the contents inside have undergone qualitative changes. Then there is a gap in the tomb, and the invasion of Yang Qi from the outside activates these eggs, causing them to hatch." Tang Xi explained, “The ones that hatch are indeed live snakes, but they have been nourished by the yin for thousands of years, and they are no longer normal snakes.”

"It's complicated." Gu Ran was a little regretful. "I knew I should catch two more. Old Wen must like this rare thing. It would be nice to bring it back as a souvenir."

"Oh, you have no place to pretend." Tang Xi mocked.

"..." Gu Ran was speechless...Would you like to be so direct!

"That...what shall we do? Do you still go on?" Jiang Xia asked tremblingly.

"Of course you go, your grandpa only gave us one day." Tang Xi took it for granted.

"Then what should he do? Lost here?" Gu Ran pointed to the unconscious grave thief.

Tang Xi touched her chin, thought for a while, and snapped her fingers: "Su Huang, throw him out to Minister Pan. Since you dare to steal the tomb, you must be aware of being caught! I will hand it to the Chang'an police in turn."

"I know, I'll be right back." Su Huang picked up the tomb thief and floated out.

So in Jiang Xia's eyes, it was the tomb thief who suddenly floated into the air by himself.

supernatural event!

"It's the female ghost sister from last time." Gu Ran said.

"Okay, go ahead." Tang Xi gave him a white glance.

"Go, take the road on the left." Jiang Xia hurriedly said.

The previous tomb robber ran out of the fork on the right.

Several people crossed the ashes of a place and changed the tomb passage.

"It's not far ahead, but there are mechanisms to open the tomb door. The person just now thought it was a dead end here." Jiang Xia said.

"The male ghost you are talking about is inside?" Tang Xi asked.

"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded and confirmed again, "But, can the tomb door be closed to contain the ghost?"

"It's not the tomb door that can close the ghost, but the corpse." Tang Xi replied.

"That, that, did I open the door?" Jiang Xia said.

"Go on." Gu Ran stared at the door excitedly.

Jiang Xia turned around and fiddled with the stone wall for a while. After a while, he saw the thick stone gate slowly rising up.

"Every time I see it, I can't help but sigh the wisdom of the ancients." Tang Xi admired.

"Yes, it's a pity that many technologies have been lost." Jiang Xia said with regret.

After a few seconds, Shimen rose to the highest point and stopped, only to hear a slight "click", which seemed to be stuck.

"Isn't it going to fall?" Gu Ran looked up with some worry.

"No, the institutions here are very sophisticated, unless they are destroyed by violence." Jiang Xia said.

Tang Xi flashed a flashlight into the tomb, but did not see any ghosts.

"Hey, is anyone there?" Gu Ran stepped in and shouted openly.

Jiang Xia:! ! !

Tang Xi smiled and followed in.

Jiang Xia was in a dilemma. He really didn't want to enter the space where he killed his three companions last time, but it seemed more terrifying if he stayed outside alone. After hesitating for a while, he still followed Tang Xi in a trot.

Because of the short lapse of time and the enclosed space, a strong smell of blood can still be smelled in the tomb, and dark brown blood stains can be vaguely seen on the ground.

"By the way, have you got the corpse out yet?" Tang Xi said suddenly.

"Of course I took it out." Jiang Xia nodded immediately and explained, "At that time, only one was killed on the spot, and the other two died after going out. We ran out supporting each other, and finally I let go After the tomb door, I don’t know if the door can block the ghost. I just asked for peace of mind, and then ran all the way out. I’m sorry I can’t remember many details."

"Too much fear and confusion, it is inevitable." Tang Xi expressed understanding.

Gu Ran had already jumped onto the stone steps and tapped the coffin with a knife handle: "Hey, are you at home? Some guests are here."

"..." Tang Xi twitched her lips, and suddenly realized that this kid was actually quite interesting.

Well, her previous life may be a few years younger than Gu Ran, but this person's appearance and mental age are completely incompatible.

Just lose ten years old, no more.

With this calculation, she can indeed be called Gu Ran's child.

"Bah!" There was a muffled sound that interrupted her indistinct thoughts.

Gu Ran moved quickly and jumped down the steps with an somersault.

"It's you...wake me up?" A erratic voice sounded, but it didn't come from the coffin. It felt like a set of stereo surround equipment was installed in the four corners of the tomb.

"Yes, yes, it's me, what are you going to do? Hit me?" Gu Ran's expression and tone were particularly awkward.

Tang Xi took out a ray of spiritual power from her fingertips and probed it carefully.

"Xiao Xi, this ghost is not easy to deal with." Xie Changan's warning voice sounded in her mind.

"I know it's hard to deal with, so I brought a weapon." Tang Xi said, grabbing his hand in the void and pulling out a stringless guqin.

"Yunqi's piano?" Xie Changan asked in surprise.

"This was originally a weapon I built." Tang Xi pressed his left hand on the top of the piano, and said in a deep voice, "Although I can't achieve the kind of mind control of Yunqi, it is still very useful if it is purely used to increase the lethality. ."

Before she finished her words, she saw her five fingers crossed fiercely.

The seven strings did not appear at the same time as Yunqi used them, but the string she played on which string appeared, and then disappeared immediately.

The seven strings flashed one by one, and with the harsh noise, the spiritual power was excited by sound waves, and shot out in all directions without dead ends.

"Ears are going to be deaf!" Gu Ran covered his ears with pain.

"Then cover it." Tang Xi sneered and moved his hands together, almost flashing an afterimage on Qin's body.

Jiang Xia squatted in the corner, holding her head tightly, afraid to speak.

Gu Ran's whole person is distorted, Tang Xi's spiritual power will not harm a living person, but this kind of noise attack is obviously stronger than the spiritual power attack! dying!

Xie Changan in the bracelet doesn't know what his expression is-should I be glad Yun Qi is asleep?

Yunqi's piano is crisp and sweet even in a single tone, but Tang Xi can't be called playing the piano.

Play cotton?

Playing the piano like this, if Yun Qi heard it, I was afraid that he would roar and remake people back to the furnace!
