Chapter 197 Rescue from the Ancient Tomb 1

After about five or six minutes, Mu Mu followed Bai Xiaosheng to a cave that extended downwards. Next to the cave was a huge rock of similar size to the cave entrance, probably because it was pressed on the cave entrance before.

Bai Xiaosheng turned around and made a gesture to enter the hole. Mu Mu nodded at him when he saw this, and then the two of them got into the hole that was more than two meters long.

The water pressure in the cave was much stronger than outside the cave, and the sense of oppression made Mu Mu's movement slower again, but Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have no discomfort.

The hole edges are smooth and flat, obviously dug by hand.

After diving for about 10 or 20 meters, reaching the bottom, there is a buffer port five or six meters long in longitudinal direction.

As I swam forward to the bottom, the opening of the hole actually extended upwards. This reminded Mu Mu of the U-shaped pipes in the toilet. Could it be that this tomb was built with the same principle as the toilet?

Dive upwards much smoother than downwards. Basically, as long as you relax, you will be pushed up by the water pressure. After five or six minutes, you will finally dive to the surface.

As the lights above my head shone around, what caught my eye was a deep underground river, with the hanging stone milk at the top glowing with dark light.

Bai Xiaosheng swam ashore very easily and pulled Mu Mu up from the shore.

After taking off the diving equipment, his body was already wet with sweat. Mu Mu looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a heavy breath, but found that he had been holding it for so long, but his face remained unchanged.

Bai Xiaosheng looked up and down at Mu Mu, nodded and said, "It seems that this set of scuba lungs is good, how do you feel?"

Mu Mu shook his head, "It's okay."

Then Bai Xiaosheng nodded, bit the flashlight in his hand in his mouth, covered his hands on the two strange sickles on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go."

Mu Mu responded and followed him along the shore and walked forward. After a while, the two of them found the corridor he had mentioned earlier.

The corridor was filled with a strong stench of corpses, and it was obvious that the people who died inside had begun to rot.

The more you go, the more stinking the corpse smell becomes.

Following Bai Xiaosheng, Mu Mu subconsciously used a flashlight to illuminate the corpse, and the corpses on the ground were seriously decayed.

Generally, in the constant temperature below, corpses can usually be stored for more than ten days, but these corpses rotted into this shape within a week, and even their internal organs were exposed, which was a bit horrible.

Looking at the several corpses in police uniforms, Mu Mu felt a little reluctant and looked away, not knowing when someone would come to collect their corpses.

After wading through the pile of corpses, the two of them came to the stone wall that Bai Xiaosheng said. They had heard of it before, but now they saw it personally, and the shock was not something that could be discussed in words.

Bai Xiaosheng found the hole on the top again, first put Mumutu on, and then jumped up with a dive.

After climbing along the hole at the top for seven or eight minutes, I finally saw the stone wall, and it was indeed a pungent smell.

However, Mu Mu took the flashlight and came to the stone wall and smelled the gap between the brick walls. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he still felt a little sweet.

He calmed down and said to Bai Xiaosheng, "From the maltose on the wall over there has been so much sweetness, it should have been sealed."

"And the bodies of those outside will rot so quickly, it should be because the Chen Qi is rushing out from here. After this Chen Qi is inhaled into the lungs, it is easy to pulmonary edema."

When he arrived in front of the coffin, Mu Mu couldn't help but sigh. It was from the investigation department, but he didn't expect that he would die here too.

Looking at his body, Mu Mu suddenly realized that this fact was a bit unacceptable. Is it really worth it to die in order to hunt down a Maoshan old Taoist?

She always felt that there seemed to be some extremely important secret hidden under this pursuit. Otherwise, why would Mr. Tian and the others choose to arrest him immediately after the Maoshan Dao appeared, but instead track him down after he got off the tomb?

The path below the coffin was unavailable, so the two of them did not move the body away.

Bai Xiaosheng pondered carefully around the stone chamber. Mu Mu hesitated and asked, "Where is Mr. Tian lying at that time?"

Bai Xiaosheng turned his head and pointed behind Mu Mu, "Well, just by the wall."

Mu Mu quickly walked to the corner of the wall, and he said again: "Stop looking, there is nothing strange there."

But Mu Mu disagreed and squatted on the ground, squirting from bottom to top with a flashlight.

The wall tiles in the stone chamber are all large blue bricks, with rough surfaces, and the joints between the seams are extremely connected, which is comparable to the archway wall outside.

The sticky materials are undoubtedly the same, and Mu Mu stood by the wall and pondered for a while.

How did Mr. Tian appear here at that time?

Thinking of this, Mu Mu moved the light of the flashlight to the side, and suddenly found a slight reflection on a large brick. Mu Mu was puzzled and leaned over. It turned out to be a relief mural.

The painting style is extremely simple. In the picture, a man wearing a robe and a tall hat, kneeling in a square box with a baby in his hands.

Apart from that, nothing is left.

Mu Mu looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand it. Bai Xiaosheng's voice came from behind: "Come and take a look!"

Mu Mu was shocked, turned around and walked towards him quickly, and saw the flashlight in his hand facing a relief painting on the wall.

The relief painting is painted with a table of the five elements of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

The so-called heavenly stems and earthly branches are also the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches.

The heavenly stems are Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

The earthly branches are: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The ten stems and the twelve branches are matched in sequence to form sixty basic units.

The ancients used this as the serial number of year, month, day, and time, and was called "Tanzhi Discipline Law".

Among the five elements of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the relief painting, there are only ones that are missing from the Ren in the Heavenly Stems and the Shen in the Earthly Branches.

Mu Mu's heart sank.

Then he turned his puzzled eyes to Bai Xiaosheng, and saw him staring at the wall without saying a word.

Mu Mu continued to search along the surroundings to see if there were any other relief paintings. On the north wall, Mu Mu found another one.

In this third relief painting, half of the steps are drawn.

Mu Mu stared at the top and looked carefully. Why did this look a bit like the steps in the hole under the coffin that Bai Xiaosheng mentioned before?

Could it be that there is actually the passage to the bottom of the tomb?

So Mu Mu shouted to Bai Xiaosheng without looking back, "Senior, here."

But a moment came from my ears, "I'm watching."

Mu Mu quickly turned his head and saw when did this guy run behind him?

“How to say it?”

He shook his head, "This painting should be the step below the coffin, but the step below is so deep, how could it be that you jumped down there, right?"

Having said this, his thoughts seemed to be out of reach again. Mu Mu pondered and asked, "Then what is your purpose this time?"

He said lightly, "Of course I'm looking for the surname Qu."

"Then do you think he is dead or alive?"

"What do you mean?"

"This is very simple. If you think he is still alive, then the path under the coffin can be considered a way to go. If he dies, why should we go this trip?"

"If I say this, you must think that my words are too cold, but what I am talking about is the fact that Brother Qu Jiang fell from there. We want to find him. Even if we find another way, are you sure you can find him?"

Bai Xiaosheng was surprisingly silent for a moment, raised his foot and walked to the coffin in the middle, pushed hard, pushing it away, which was about three meters long and hollowed out by the entire stone.

A black staircase appeared below, then turned his head and looked at Mu Mu and said, "Since you said so, do you dare to go down first?"

Mu Mu looked over the dark steps, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, I firmly believe that Brother Qu Jiang is not dead."

As he said that, Mu Mu squeezed past him and walked into the secret passage first.

As soon as he walked into the cave, he smelled an unpleasant fishy smell. Mu Mu held the flashlight tightly and slapped the ground. There were bloody "big flies" everywhere, which had begun to rot, obviously eroded by Chen Qi.

Mu Mu carefully pointed the flashlight into front and walked slowly down.

Bai Xiaosheng followed slowly and went down about twenty or thirty steps, and Mu Mu suddenly stopped.

It had reached the end of the steps. Mu Mu half-squatted on the steps, holding a flashlight and shone it down. The light shone a little, and there was such a large space below.

Suddenly I felt something was slightly reflecting below.

Is it water?

Because the distance is too high, it is impossible to make a real judgment.

Bai Xiaosheng behind him was puzzled: "How can there be a house underneath?"

Mu Mu looked along his beam and saw the roofs of many houses.

All are all glazed tiles.

I can't figure it out.

"Senior, what should we do now? Have you brought any ropes or something like this?"

Bai Xiaosheng replied coldly: "You are here, don't ask me."

Mu Mu suddenly felt depressed and was thinking about whether to jump down with a gamble.

A buzzing sound suddenly came from my ears.

"Here you come!" Bai Xiaosheng growled.

Mu Mu suddenly thought of something, subconsciously turned around and ran back, but hit Bai Xiaosheng's chest. He said coldly: "It's too late!"

As he said that, after Mu Mu stabilized his body, he slapped him away with a palm. Mu Mu suddenly felt a pain, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell behind him.

Then, I felt my whole body falling down rapidly.

Before the thought was over, Mu Mu fainted immediately with a bang on his back.

When Mu Mu woke up, he felt like he was falling apart and was wet all over.

Bai Xiao's disdainful voice came from his ears: "You guessed it right, 80% of the person named Qu are still alive."

Mu Mu climbed up from the ground with difficulty, reached out and touched his back, and it seemed to be swollen. As his fingers touched him, Mu Mu gasped in pain.
