Chapter 649 Red Soil
Hearing Gao Banxian said that he wanted to get rid of the Zombie King first, Mo Shouchen subconsciously touched the broken tooth of the Zombie King in his pocket.
This is the script world, and he is wondering whether the zombie king mentioned by Gao Banxian is the zombie king summoned by the clown using playing cards.
In the script of "Deadly Examination", the crazy Mo Shouchen gave the zombie king a severe beating and even broke one of its teeth.
If the corpse king in the corpse raising ground is really the zombie king summoned by the clown, I wonder if it will be extremely angry or afraid after seeing Mo Shouchen.
Marshal Xu took out his pocket watch from his jacket pocket, took a look at it, and then said: "Let's seize the time and try to find the location of the Corpse King as soon as possible."
Gao Banxian was slightly startled and said reluctantly: "This time I came in a hurry. I suggest you go back and prepare before coming."
Marshal Xu pointed to a large box tied to the back of the carriage and said: "Master Gao, I have brought everything that can deal with zombies. Now that the source has been found, I think it is better to solve it as soon as possible so that the people of Hongyue Town can live a peaceful life.
Better."
Marshal Xu's tone allowed no refutation, and Gao Banxian couldn't shirk anymore, so he could only nod helplessly.
Because the foliage in the woods was so dense that it was impossible to enter on horseback, so two soldiers carried the box and everyone walked into the woods.
According to Gao Banxian, the tomb where the Corpse King is located should be close to a stream, and because it has absorbed evil spirits over the years, the soil above the tomb will turn red, as if it has been soaked in blood.
So just walk along the stream and stab the soil with a knife at a certain distance. As long as you find red soil on the knife, you can find the tomb where the Corpse King is.
The remaining eight soldiers formed a line on both sides of the creek, and then used their knives to detect the soil below every distance.
After walking for less than an hour, a soldier on the east side of the creek pulled out a bayonet inserted into the soil and shouted: "The soil down here is red!"
After hearing the news, others came to the soldier and saw that the front end of the bayonet in his hand was indeed stained with red soil.
I saw that the soil on the knife was dark red and very sticky, as if it had been soaked in blood. It looked like it made people feel cold on the back.
Gao Banxian walked over and dipped his hand into some red soil, twisted it with his fingers, smelled it, then nodded and said, "The corpse king's tomb is down here."
After Marshal Xu heard this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to dig until it was about three meters deep, and hard stone slabs were exposed underneath.
"There is granite below!" shouted the soldier in the pit.
Marshal Xu pointed at the pit and ordered: "Blow it up with explosives!"
"Wait a moment!"
Gao Banxian suddenly stopped and said: "The stone slab below is the ceiling of the tomb. Due to the long-term invasion of evil spirits, the mortar between the stone slabs has failed. If explosives are used, the tomb will probably collapse directly."
Marshal Xu frowned and asked, "What should we do?"
Gao Banxian walked to the edge of the dug pit, then looked over to the soldiers below and asked, "Look at whether there are any gaps between the stone slabs."
After a moment, the soldier below responded: "There is a gap."
"Then take a look at the shape of the stone slab and how big it is."
The soldier in the pit cleaned up the loose soil on the stone slab, and then replied: "It is rectangular, about the same size as half a window."
Gao Banxian thought for a moment and then said: "Put your knife into the gaps around the stone slab, and then lift it up little by little to see if you can lift the stone slab."
Under Gao Banxian's guidance, the soldiers in the pit actually picked out a little of the stone slab below, and used the principle of leverage to tilt the entire stone slab out.
As soon as the stone slab was opened, a mass of black energy surged up from below. Fortunately, Gao Banxian warned the soldiers in the pit and they were on guard, so they did not come into contact with this strange mass of black energy.
The black air continued to rise into the air, and then slowly dissipated. It took half an hour to release the black air inside.
Gao Banxian stroked his beard and said: "Light a candle and put it down. If the candle is not extinguished, you can go down."
According to Gao Banxian's method, the soldier tied a lighted candle with a rope, and then slowly slid the candle down through the opening on the top of the tomb.
After observing for a while, the candle below was not extinguished, indicating that it was time to go down.
Several soldiers moved another stone slab, fixed the rope, and slowly lowered one of the soldiers down.
After landing, the soldier first checked his surroundings to make sure there was no danger, and then made a gesture to the people above to indicate that it was safe below.
After Mo Shouchen witnessed this series of operations, he approached Gao Banxian and asked in a low voice: "You are so skilled in business. To be honest, besides being a Taoist priest, have you ever had any other professions?"
Gao Banxian snorted softly and said: "I have never had the kind of career you think of. It's just that sometimes ghosts hide in tombs, so I know a little about how to open tombs."
Mo Shouchen pointed to the opened top of the tomb and said, "You call this a little knowledge? I don't think a family of tomb robbers like Hu Jiu may be as professional as you."
"It's a trivial skill, nothing worth mentioning!"
Gao Banxian waved his hand sheepishly, not hearing that Mo Shouchen was not complimenting him at all.
Marshal Xu left four soldiers to guard on the ground, and the rest all went down to the tomb.
Mo Shouchen was the last one to go down. After landing, with the light of the oil lamp, he discovered that this was not the main tomb chamber, but the front chamber of the ancient tomb.
Right in front of him, there was a stone door more than two meters high. The stone door was made of two stone slabs and looked very heavy.
"Use explosives to blow open this stone door for me!"
It seems that Marshal Xu usually likes to use the simplest and crudest methods to solve problems, so when he encounters an obstacle, the first thing he thinks of is explosives.
"Commander, don't be anxious yet!"
Gao Banxian once again stopped Marshal Xu from using explosives. He pointed at the stone door and said: "Generally, no one will be allowed to enter the tomb after it is closed, so the stone door is made of a whole stone slab."
"But this stone gate uses two stone slabs. I think there may be a secret hidden there, so I'd better look for it first to see if there are any mechanisms or anything like that."
Marshal Xu nodded and said: "Zhenren Gao has thought carefully. You guys should go over and find out if there is any mechanism."
"yes!"
The six soldiers who came down agreed, then took oil lamps and approached the stone gate to look for the mechanism.
What surprised Mo Shouchen was that one of the soldiers quickly found a gap with neat edges on the wall next to the stone gate. It seemed that it had some special purpose.
