Endless route

Chapter 32 32. Entering the Tomb

Zheng Yun returned to the Corpse Cave, but there was still a thick white mist in front of him. He bent down and groped for it, and fished out the black jade pillow from the corpse water. The jade pillow felt extremely hot to the touch and had to cool down after being removed from the water.

Put the baby back in the backpack.

He looked around and found that most of the water in the corpse pit had disappeared. Almost all of it was turned into white mist by the black jade pillow, filling the air and slowly condensing into water vapor.

The Yin soldiers woke up and found that no one was around. They were all lying down one by one. Now there are only a few left.

Zheng Yun ignored them and immediately looked for an exit and walked around the edge of the pit.

The structure of this place is similar to the underground corpse lake. There is a waterway blocked by iron fences under the water. Now that most of the corpse water has evaporated, the fence at the bottom of the pit is also vaguely visible.

It can only be blown up with grenades.

Hu Ruihua's grenade is a fragmentation type, but these iron fences are also hundreds of years old. As long as they are placed properly, there is a high chance that they can explode.

Zheng Yun straightened his thoughts, took off a pair of goggles from an explorer's body, half-submerged himself into the water, pulled the ring and dropped the grenade.

Then he immediately climbed up and out of the water, not daring to withstand the impact of the explosion in the water. At the same time, he got behind the body to isolate himself from fragments.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

The corpse water surged and splashed in all directions.

Zheng Yun knew that this movement would definitely wake up the Yin soldiers. Before the water surface calmed down, he dived underwater with goggles and groped around the iron fence.

The iron fence was still intact, but it was a little loose due to the impact. Zheng Yun took out a crowbar and inserted it into the gap, then stepped on the wall and lifted it hard.

Click.

There was a gap in the iron fence.

Zheng Yun used his strength again until the gap could pass through, then he surfaced, took a deep breath, got out of the gap, and swam against the current.

He didn't know how long this waterway was, so he calculated the time in his mind to leave a chance to return.

Surprisingly.

This waterway was actually very short. He had just swam less than twenty meters when he came to a cave. The water was relatively shallow, and two black guys were lying on the shore.

There is a hole in their head.

These two gangsters, the two who turned off the phone at the beginning, actually fell here.

Zheng Yun took a look and saw that the two brothers were sleeping peacefully and were out of breath. He couldn't take them away, so he could stay here. Maybe they could become Yin soldiers.

Go upstream again.

After walking around for a long time, Zheng Yun found another iron fence. The water flow became turbulent here. The outside should be the underground river of the rift valley cave.

Take out the crowbar and pry hard.

It wasn't until Zheng Yun was dizzy and dizzy, and the feeling of imminent death arose again, that he finally broke open the fence and escaped.

At this time, he had exhausted all his strength and could only float on the surface of the water with an empty attitude, drifting along the underground river.

The cave was deep and dark, and there were two lights on the shore. Hu Ruihua and Song Wan were still waiting under the attic, raising their heads and looking eagerly above.

"this!"

Zheng Yun shouted.

Hu Ruihua and Song Wan turned around suddenly, shined their flashlights, and searched around the river. After a long time, they found Zheng Yun who had drifted far downstream.

Song Wan immediately chased after him, and Hu Ruihua also staggered after him, but neither of them could run as fast as the river water. Within two minutes, Zheng Yun disappeared.

After a while.

Zheng Yun was washed out of the rift valley by the water and flowed out of the mountain crevices. He ran aground when he encountered a bend in the river.

He stood motionless and looked up at the starry sky, looking for the twelve stars of the South Dipper mentioned by the fat Taoist priest.

It also felt outrageous in a daze.

His original intention was just to save people and earn bounties, but after experiencing step by step the abandoned mine, the small town, the underworld, and the secret realm, he now actually wanted to find a way into the tomb through stargazing, and then robbed the tomb.

Stargazing is still about deep space outside our solar system.

Although the ancients were very clever, it was really clever to use stars to mark the location of passages. No matter how the world changes, the stars are eternal.

It's a pity that gods and gods are still unable to defeat technology. The speed of change in the world is too fast. The ancients struggled for a long time and an oxygen bottle was able to crack it.

If he had an oxygen bottle, if he needed to do stargazing, he could just carry the oxygen bottle on his back.

"Zheng Yun!"

Song Wan held the torch and ran out of the gap, only to see Zheng Yun lying motionless as if dead. She ran over desperately and knelt down next to Zheng Yun to look at him.

A delicate face appeared in front of Zheng Yun. Her face was full of anxiety, her clear eyes contained tears, but there was a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth, which made the scene look strange.

"You're blocking me."

Zheng Yun spoke softly.

He had already seen the twelve stars of the South Dipper, but the light of the torch and Song Wan's face blocked the starry sky.

"You're still alive!" Song Wan cried with joy, ignoring the water stains all over her body, and leaned over to hug Zheng Yun tightly.

"Don't worry, I have a solution, please let go first." Zheng Yun patted her arm gently.

After a while.

Hu Ruihua also staggered, water dripped out from the gap, and water splashed on the wound. He grimaced for a while with every step he took. When he reached Zheng Yun's side, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the dry place on the shore with a thud.

"I have mastered most of the clues and routes. You rest here while I go in again." Zheng Yun spoke first without waiting for them to ask.

But the two of them didn't ask any more questions.

When things have developed to this point, whether they can save people depends entirely on Zheng Yun. They can only wait.

It took ten minutes.

Zheng Yun completely memorized the positions of the stars and felt that his body had returned to normal, so he stepped on the stone piers at the bottom of the river with a torch and returned to the cave alone.

The cave is empty and deep.

But at this moment, it seemed cordial, as if I were home, and every place was very familiar.

He passed the abandoned iron ore stairs.

Climb up the deep cliff to the waterfall.

Went to the dark attic again.

Putting on his goggles, Zheng Yun threw away the torch, turned on the flashlight and dived into the bottom of the river. In the darkness, he found the entrance to the fat Taoist priest's mouth. The location was extremely hidden.

If Zheng Yun hadn't known the truth in advance, he would never have thought that there was a secret door at the bottom of the river.

He dived into the waterway and looked for a ventilation passage through the stars. After twelve pauses, he went deep into the ground and found a tunnel.

Zheng Yun took out the wooden sign he had obtained earlier by chopping up the corpse, and walked into the connected corridor. The sound of footsteps broke the silence, and a large number of insects sprang out from the walls.

These bugs were of different colors and sizes. Zheng Yun took out his dagger and stabbed three of them to death at the water's edge. He suppressed his nausea, crushed them, and smeared them on his forehead.

The smell escapes.

As expected, all the insects dispersed.

Zheng Yun's confidence was boosted and he moved forward again. Soon he saw a bronze door. He took out the ghost general iron plate that Hu Ruihua had thrown out earlier, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it open.

It will be easier from now on.

Zheng Yun only walked in the middle of several forked roads in a row and walked around the underground palace for a long time. Except for the dense insects, there were no mechanisms and no evil soldiers.

Go through a downhill road.

Zheng Yun finally arrived at the tomb.

This tomb is huge, and the walls are covered with yellowed talismans, which seem to be suppressing things here.

The coffin is located on a high platform. There is a hole in the dome directly above it, but it has been repaired and filled in half. It should be the work of the imperial court.

Get on the high platform.

Flashlight swept.

The coffin was half open, with dozens of densely packed chains wrapped around it, and talisman paper almost covering it.

The picture is very strange.

The iron rope was thicker than Zheng Yun's arm. It was completely sealed in twenty-four directions, sealing the sarcophagus into darkness. The other end was built directly into the depth of the wall.

A chill ran through Zheng Yun's scalp. The iron rope locked the coffin, but the sarcophagus was half open and the body could even be seen through the gap. Should it be locked or released?

Could it be that this person is also a Yin soldier?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun immediately moved lightly and carefully approached the coffin. There was actually not one corpse inside, but two corpses side by side. At this time, they were already unsightly and were soaked in water from the sarcophagus.

This should also be done by the imperial court.

Open the coffin and let it rot naturally, and lock the coffin to prevent the two from escaping. No matter how powerful the two corpses are, they will only turn into two withered bones in the end.

This method is really cruel.

Zheng Yun walked to the head of the sarcophagus and put his hand through the gap in the iron rope to take out the ball.
