Chapter 107: Qinling God Tree · Sneak Attack

The strange weird noise that introduced us suddenly appeared behind me. Although the sound was not loud, it was like a thunder in the silent coffin, so clear, I heard my body tremble and the muscles on my forehead tightened. Another cold sweat.
This coffin is about six or seven meters long. It ’s not long or short. Judging by the voice, the sound source should be no more than one meter away from me. It ’s almost against my back and you can pat my shoulder. . "的 …… 的 ──" The regular beep sounded like leaning against the door to listen to the knock on the door. A cool air slipped from my back neck to the bottom of my foot.
For a while, the muscles all over my body were so rigid that I couldn't move. Considering whether to look back, I still pretended not to hear the sound and ignored it. But immediately I reacted, and I couldn't help crying, biting my tongue to remind myself: to calm down, there is really no choice at this time, only to face, fear and excuses are simply performances of waiting to die.
Froze for a moment, and the ghostly voice was not anxious, neither approaching again, nor going far away. I took a deep breath, clenched my teeth, and slowly turned my head back to see what was behind.
As I turned around, the strange noise suddenly stopped. I fixed my eyes. In the gray mist behind me, there was nothing. The direction from the strange noise just now was still gray, just for me. Disturbed by the movement, some weird airflow appeared, and he quickly calmed down and became as uniform as before.
I swallowed and felt a little surprised. I took a flashlight around, without any abnormality, the sound seemed to never appear.
The sound was so close to me just now. I heard it very clearly. It is definitely not an illusion. The movement of my turn is about a second. If it is emitted by a moving object, it cannot disappear at such a fast speed. , Does the sound come from somewhere else? Is my judgment wrong?
I took a step forward subconsciously, trying to find the source of the sound. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the fog beside me. My eyes are very thieves, and I happened to be in a hurry, and the figure didn't catch me, but still knocked me to the ground. I rolled on the spot and looked back. The fat figure that hit me was the boss Wang who pulled me here.
I scolded, showed the short-handed hunting knife, and wanted to make a break with him. Unexpectedly, he hid in the mist again in a flash, and disappeared into the shadow.
I couldn't help but spit saliva. His dagger should have fallen out of the fight just now. Now I shun the short knife in my hand and dare not conflict with me. I hide in the fog and wait for me to approach and then carry out the raid , Completely different from the arrogance just now. His mother must be a villain.
But to say that, the situation here is so weird, this guy's courage is not as big as usual. If I had neither flashlight nor weapon, where would I dare to attack others, I shrank in the corner and shivered. Fortunately, the fog here is as thick as water. When something moves, there will be a very obvious trajectory. He did n’t want to attack me so easily. Otherwise, I just knocked him down just now.
I thought of it here and found it strange, so to speak, if the strange owner moves in this coffin, there will inevitably be a trajectory of movement, but when I looked at it just now, the mist was smooth, unlike something moving Doesn't it look like it has been? Is it a ghost?
I was standing in front of Boss Wang, and stood up. The space inside the coffin was not large. I just rolled back and I did n’t know where I rolled. I had to step back and try to climb up.
This place is not very big overall. Now when I look around, I am close to the center of the coffin. Through the fog, I saw something in the center. Looking at the shadow, it seemed that a lot of rope was hung from the top of the coffin and connected to the bottom of the coffin. I thought it was the aerial roots hanging from the branches on the top. I took a step forward and took a photo with a flashlight. I realized that they were n’t. Those things were all bronze chains with thick wrists covered with fungus and ficus roots of the banyan tree. The top is wrapped around to the end, but the iron chain seems to be fixed between the top and bottom of the coffin, and there is nothing tied down below.
This stone coffin is said to be huge. In fact, such a size has been found in the tombs of aristocrats who made great headlifts in the Western Han Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. This thing is called a casket. In fact, it should be called a casket. If you follow the burial tomb, the formal casket should be placed in the center of the casket. The financial resources are strong.椁, stick to the innermost 椁 edge.
Now I walked a few steps, according to the size of the coffin, at least I should also see the general shape of the inner coffin, but now I only see a few chains, and there are no things on the ground. Could it be empty in this barn? Where did the voice just come from? Where did that weird radio interference come from?
I froze for a long time, and then took a step forward, want to go to the middle of the bronze chain, to see if there is a trap on the bottom of the coffin. Just stepped out, and suddenly my feet were empty, and the whole person fell down. I quickly grabbed the bronze chain in front of me, and slid down a few meters to fix myself, and I was scared to a cold sweat.
What's going on, how the seems to be stepping on the air? I felt palpitations. The flashlight looked down, and I couldn't see the ground. The fog was very heavy underneath. I stepped down and stepped into the fog. I couldn't step on anything. There seemed to be a deep depression.
Sure enough, I think that this cemetery room is embedded in a sacrificial platform on the top of a bronze tree for two meters. There is nothing in the middle. It may be a multi-layer embedded cemetery like the Warring States period. There may be a depression in the middle of this room, called a coffin well. The real coffin is below. I do n’t know how deep the coffin is. It ’s really dangerous. If I just stepped on it, I might fall to death. .
The bronze chains here may be part of the lifting device used to lower the coffin into the coffin well. The inner coffin containing the body should be directly below me.
Was thinking, suddenly the fog on the side was another disturbance, and boss Wang rushed over again. This time, what weapon he held in his hand suddenly rushed at me. The fog is so thick here, it is probably to judge my position by the light point of my flashlight. When I couldn't see it right, I subconsciously shouted: "Don't! Stop!"
But it was too late, boss Wang "Oops", stepped on the air with one foot, and fell off at once. I felt the iron chain underneath a sudden shock, probably grabbed him, and at the same time a grunt in my hand made my body start to slide down.
I turned my head and saw that the mushroom-like fungus above squeezed my hands, pressing out a lot of smooth oily wax-like juice, making the bronze chain like a layer of oil. I shouted badly in my heart, and hurriedly inserted the short-handled knife into the hole of the chain, but the thing couldn't be inserted. Three and five divided by two. The knife was stuck in the root of the tree. stop. At this time, I had slid down no less than ten meters, and entered the inside of the coffin well, inside the stem of the Qingtong tree.
Boss Wang had blood on his head and hung on the bronze chain below me, about a foot away from me. He couldn't pull the chain either. He used his belt to pass through a chain hole before barely stopping. I shot him with a flashlight, he scolded and turned his head to avoid the dazzling light.
I saw that he could not pose a threat to me for the time being, so I went to see the coffin well. The inside of the trunk of the bronze tree was the same as the outside, engraved with twin snake paths deep into the gully. under. The fog inside is much thinner than above. I looked around for a week, eager to know how big this coffin is in the center of the guild room. If it is too big, I might be a big problem to climb out.
The coffin well is a rectangle, four meters long and two meters wide, which can accommodate a coffin loosely. I can touch the wall of the coffin well with my hands. I do n’t know if it ’s because of the mist. The roots here are not parasitic with a lot of fungi, and you can see the true colors of the roots. There was an odor floating in the air in the coffin. It may be that there was too much fog outside. The isolation medium inside the gas mask began to get wet and the effect began to decline. I could feel the odor becoming stronger and thicker and choking my nose. From this point of view, boss Wang must be uncomfortable.
Looking down, I was taken aback. I could see that the iron chain was hanging down to the darkness below, where I could not see the flashlight. It was very long. Looking down from here, the whole coffin was bottomless and looked It seems that it has been through forever, without bottom.
No way? I think there is a feeling in my heart. Is the entire bronze tree hollow? The height we climbed up is no less than 300 meters. I do n’t know how deep this copper tree is. If it ’s hollow, then it ’s hollow. Where will the bottom of the tree be? Geocentric? Hell? What's the point of this huge hollow cylinder inserted here?
Boss Wang also looked very surprised. The two of them did not speak. They looked straight down, and suddenly, the sound of "的 …… 的 ──" sounded, and the kind of eerie knocking sound suddenly appeared on the All around us!
My boss and I glanced at each other, and our eyes were all cast into the dark darkness underneath. The sound came from the abyss below.
