Chapter 69 A locust tree
In front of Su Yu stood a majestic iron gate that was over a hundred meters high.
The door was rusty and old.
Two thick iron cables extended along the door knocker to the unknown abyss behind.
Su Yu sat cross-legged in front of the door, holding his chin up and staring at this huge creature.
It looks like a prison door.
He tried various methods, but the small amount of manpower was not enough to shake it at all.
After much thought, Su Yu concluded that the iron gate was definitely not a product of the yang world, and no one with any yang energy would waste time and effort to build such a thing.
Su Yu lay on his back, still couldn't help but wonder, what could be behind such a huge door?
A faint light flickered above the head, and Su Yu looked at it with wide eyes.
The light became brighter and brighter, until it was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
Su Yu covered his face with his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt a warmth spreading over his body under the bright light.
He slowly removed his palms, the sunlight outside the window shone directly on his face, and the kettle on the fire was steaming.
It turned out to be a dream.
Su Yu turned over, his brain still a little unclear and feeling hazy.
"Brother, if you don't wake up, my sister-in-law will get married!" The little fat man showed his fat face from outside the door, looking frustrated.
Su Yu's voice was a little hoarse and he said, "Wake up."
"Are you really awake?" The little fat man ran over with a look of disbelief.
Seeing that Su Yu's eyes were a little dull, he stretched out three fingers and asked seriously: "What is this?"
Su Yu slapped his hand away and asked, "Fat man, what day is it today?"
"On November 23rd, you slept for two whole days." The little fat man looked at him helplessly.
"November 23, so after 12 o'clock tonight it will be the first day of winter." Su Yu sat up and murmured.
"Get me something to eat."
"Properly."
After eating and drinking enough, Su Yu regained his energy and spirit.
Su Tangxue must have been arrested by Qinghe, and it is necessary to visit the big tomb now.
Even though the little fat man now has a magical fighting skill at his side, Su Yu still has no confidence in his heart.
The power shown by Qinghe is far beyond that of ordinary ghosts, otherwise he would not be suppressed by others with a big tomb.
Just his paper-man clone Su Yu can't handle it now, let alone entering his lair, it will definitely be even more dangerous.
But even so, the two of them didn't waste any more time. Under the leadership of the little fat man, they found the mountain col with ease.
At this time, the snow-covered valley was very clean and refreshing, and there were no weird paper figures or anything like that.
There are only some traces of animals on the ground.
According to the direction mentioned by the old blind man, Su Yu's gaze has been wandering to the west of the col.
The terrain here is relatively gentle, but a raised cliff blocks the upward path.
The cliff is so steep that the wind and snow cannot cover up its entire view.
Su Yu raised his gaze. There was a groove with an upward cut on the top of the cliff. Snow was piled at the entrance of the cave. It was really difficult to spot it from below.
Su Yu patted the little fat man and pointed to the location of the hole.
The location under the cliff is where the wind blows. If you really open the mouth, you will probably get a lot of cool wind.
The little fat man understood immediately and followed Su Yu up the path next to him.
Fortunately, he had prepared the rope before coming, and the entrance of the cave was not far away. Su Yu took the lead in sliding in from above.
Although the entrance to the cave is small, it is very spacious inside. There is a downward corridor and even two people walking side by side will not feel crowded.
There are no traces of artificial carvings in the cave. Except for a little light under the feet, the surroundings are very dark and quiet.
There is a very depressing feeling when walking inside.
After walking for about a few minutes, the terrain beneath my feet became completely flat.
"Su Zi, the cave is so deep, this is where it's close, right?" the little fat man asked aloud.
Su Yu had been silently measuring the distance since he entered the cave. Hearing this, he said: "This is it. We have walked nearly two hundred meters along the way. According to the direction, we should be inside the mountain at this moment. The downward path is so long.
Definitely not a natural cave.”
"And I didn't feel any difficulty breathing when I got here. I guess the people who built this place were well prepared."
"Preparations? What preparations are there for building a tomb?" The little fat man obviously didn't quite understand.
"In case the Ghost King of Qinghe has the possibility of escaping, we have made preparations for people like you and me, lest people suffocate due to lack of oxygen before entering."
"So, the people who built the tomb are the same as us?"
Su Yu nodded and said: "At present, it seems that he has the same purpose as us, but we don't know why he spent so much time suppressing the Qinghe Ghost King a hundred years ago instead of choosing to get rid of him. If the Qinghe Ghost King was so powerful a hundred years ago that he could not be killed, then
Why are you trapped here?"
Su Yu casually took out a few transmission talismans and handed them to him and said, "Take these talismans with you. The terrain is deep. If we accidentally get separated, you can keep in touch."
After walking for a short distance, the cave suddenly opened up.
A square tomb is clearly visible in the wide field of view. The tomb looks particularly simple, with a floor-to-ceiling coffin placed in the center of the main chamber.
What is different from traditional tombs is that the coffin is not made of strong, corrosion-resistant bronze, but is made of ordinary wood.
There was not even any paint applied to the coffin to protect the wood from corrosion.
The same is true for the side chambers on both sides. Not to mention any burial objects, there are actually two coffins exactly the same as those in the main chamber.
The little fat man knocked on the coffin in the main room, and finally leaned forward to take a sniff.
After a while, the little fat man called out in surprise: "Su Zi, come here."
"What's wrong?"
"You said the Ghost King of Qinghe was suppressed here for hundreds of years, right? Even if the time may be different, it must have been several decades ago when my master discovered the large tomb here, right?"
Su Yu nodded and motioned for the little fat man to continue.
"Let's just talk about this coffin. Su Zi, do you think it is possible for the wood to not rot at all for decades?" the little fat man questioned.
"Furthermore, the tomb was cold and damp, but the coffin didn't even smell of mold. Instead, it had the unique aroma of wood. This is a bit outrageous."
Su Yu gently wiped the coffin lid with his hand a few times, wiping away the dust in his hands, which was only a thin layer.
"Since the entire cave has been kept ventilated, even if there is no mold, decades will be enough for the surface to oxidize." Su Yu dusted off the dust on his hands.
"That's really a damn thing. This is the first time I've seen such a strange thing." The little fat man sighed.
Su Yu held the flashlight in his mouth and followed the gap to try to see what was buried in the coffin, but the entire coffin fit perfectly, and the lid and the coffin were completely natural. Not to mention what could be seen through the gap, even if a needle was inserted into it.
Effortless.
Su Yu raised the flashlight and blew lightly on the coffin lid.
After the floating ashes were blown away, Su Yu stood on the side and observed carefully, and soon discovered that the texture on the coffin lid seemed different from the front view.
"Fat boy, come here and hold the flashlight."
Su Yu handed him the flashlight, held the coffin and jumped up.
"Look here." Su Yu pointed to the direction, lying on the coffin and observing the direction of the light carefully.
Sure enough, you see things differently from the angle of the light.
After a while, Su Yu stood up, his eyes full of confusion.
The texture on the coffin actually depicts a locust tree.
