Chapter 21 Corpse Talk

Xie Yi touched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, what I wanted to say just now, but the gentleman reacted faster than me. Brother Ye, these two caves are different. The cave entrance on the left is located in the Gen Palace in the northeast, and the cave entrance on the right is located in the Kun Palace in the middle and southwest. According to the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia, the cave entrance on the left represents the Life Gate, and the cave entrance on the right represents the Death Gate. The Death Gate is an evil gate. If you enter it incorrectly, you will suffer from a disaster of death."

Shu Yi nodded: "It seems that although you are a Taoist priest, your knowledge is not false." Xie Yi smiled and said, "Compared with sir, it is just a fur." ​​Shu Yi said, "Stop flattering, I saw something in one breath." Xie Yi said seriously: "But the so-called birth, death, life, and death are also relative. For example, Yin and Yang, Yang produces Yin, then the extreme yin will also become a place where the Yang is prosperous, and the extreme yang may be the residence of pure yin."

"And the two holes in front of us are like pure yin and pure yang. I really can't say what changes will happen. So these two holes are really hard to enter." Xie Yi finished speaking in one breath.

Ximen Wuwang was impatient, and he said, "According to what you said, don't we go in and take a look?" Xie Yi looked at Shu Yi, who frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, Shu Yi raised his head and said, "No matter whether it is the life gate or the death gate, we must break through. Ximen is right, we cannot let go of any clues."

Xie Yi said, "Sir, let me walk in front." Shu Yi said, "No, I'll go in the head." Xie Yi insisted very much this time: "Sir, believe me, the Death Sect must have an organization, and I have experience in dealing with the organization." Shu Yi said, "Okay, be careful."

Xie Yi chose a hole on the left and walked in. Ye Qinghan followed him, Shu Yi followed Ye Qinghan closely, and the west gate Wuwang broke the back. The hole was much smaller, like a narrow corridor, only two meters wide.

Xie Yi walked very slowly, carefully watching the walls under his feet and on both sides.

There were actually gusts of cold wind blowing through the corridor. Perhaps it was because of the rain just now, and the wind was so cold.

After walking about a hundred meters, he walked out of the corridor. A square hall was presented in front of everyone. Oil lamps were embedded on the walls on all sides of the hall, but they were all extinguished. Ye Qinghan wanted to try if there was any lamp oil, but Ximen Wuwang said: "No need to try it. No one should have come in this hole for a long time."

Ye Qinghan asked, "Why?" Ximen Wuwang said, "Because there are only footprints of a few of us on the ground, and it is very wet here. Except for our own footprints, there is no one else on the soft sludge on the ground. Judging from the water seepage underground and the texture of the soft sludge, no one has come in here for at least one or two years."

Shu Yi said: "I believe Ximen is right, he is an expert in trace identification."

Xie Yi said, "There is no way." Shu Yi showed a faint smile on his face: "It seems that this life gate is really a dead gate, but how come there are no mechanisms or traps?" Xie Yi shrugged: "Maybe they think both holes may be used, so they did not set up any mechanisms or traps."

Ye Qinghan said, "What should we do?" Shu Yi said, "Go back the same way and go to another cave to take a look."

After a few minutes, they retreated, because the road had just passed, the return speed was much faster than when they entered. Thank you, I was still walking in front and entering the cave on the right.

After walking a few steps, Xie Yi stopped. His left hand stretched back and signaled everyone to stop. He found that the road under his feet was paved with bluestone slabs. He said, "Sir, you are waiting here, I'll take a look first." Shu Yi said, "Be careful." Shu Yi also felt that this was unusual, so he pulled Ye Qinghan and Ximen Wuwang and took a few steps back.

Xie Yi took out an antenna from his body and slowly stretched it, looking one or two or three meters long. He gently touched the first bluestone slab. Ye Qinghan asked, "If there is really a mechanism, can this force be tried? Without a certain amount of weight, the mechanism may not be triggered." Shu Yi said, "Don't make a sound, maybe it can't be tried for others, but he must be able to do it, so we wait patiently." Xie Yi turned his head and said, "Shh, don't talk, otherwise I won't listen."

Everyone stopped talking, and even held their breath. Thank you for trying it over one by one. After walking about ten meters away, he said, "Come on, I sprinkled with white lime and don't touch it." In this way, after walking about forty or fifty meters, the bluestone road disappeared, and the remaining road was soft mud road. Thank you, "Hey, it seems that someone has been here recently." Ximen Wuwang said, "Hmm? Let me see!"

He walked up, squatted down and looked carefully for a few minutes, and then said, "Someone has indeed come. There should be three or four people. They are not tall, about 1.65 to 1.7 meters. But..." Shu Yi said, "But what, let's talk about it." Ximen Wuwang said, "But they all seem to be very fat. Judging from these footprints, each of them should be about 150 kilograms."

Ye Qinghan said, "I said Ximen, have you read it wrong? Where can I find such heavyweight people?" Ximen Wuwang squatted down again in confusion, and soon stood up: "Well, I was wrong. They weighed about sixty or seventy kilograms, but when they entered, they carried weights, and the weight they carried was similar to their weight. When they came out, they came out empty-handed. They were anxious just now, and they didn't see the footprints when they came out."

Shu Yi said, "Can you determine when they entered and exited?" Ximen Wuwang said, "At least a month ago." Shu Yi said, "That's why no one has come in this cave for at least a month, right?" Ximen Wuwang nodded: "Yes." Xie Yi continued to lead the way forward, walked more than ten meters away, and a stone door blocked them. The door was naked and there was nothing.

Shu Yi said, "Thank you, can you open it?" Xie Yi smiled and said, "As long as it is really a door, it will definitely be able to open it." Xie Yi groped on the wall next to the door. Ten minutes passed and twenty minutes passed, but he still couldn't find the mechanism to open the door. Ximen Wuwang smiled and said, "Little Taoist, your cowhide is so boring." Xie Yi didn't say anything and was stunned in front of the door for a long time. Ye Qinghan said, "Thank you, didn't you just say that there should be an exit in this hole? Could it be right behind this door?"

Xie Yi shook his head: "I don't know, but I think it's not, sir, what do you think this door looks like?" Shu Yi said lightly: "Tomb!" His voice was very cold, which made Ye Qinghan and Ximen Wuwang feel cold on their backs. Xie Yi said: "This door does look like the entrance to a tomb. I'm also surprised. If there is a tomb inside, there will definitely be no exit, so where will the exit be?"

Shu Yi said: "Don't worry about that much, find a way to open this door."

Xie Yi thought about it, turned around and ran on the way he came, and said while running: "You are waiting here, and if you see the door open, call me."

No one knew how Xie Yi ran over there to open the door. He saw Xie Yi return to the bluestone slab and jumped hard on the last bluestone slab, and the stone door actually opened.

Shu Yi shouted, "Thank you, come back, the door is open." Xie Yi ran back, his face full of lust. Ye Qinghan asked, "How do you know where the mechanism for opening the door is?" Xie Yi said, "I guessed, I just paid attention to the bluestone slabs we walked past, a total of eighty-two. The person who built this cave should be a person who is well versed in Yi principles. How could he not understand the principle of "Ninety-nine Reform"? Why did he have an extra bluestone slab? I wondered, would the eighty-second bluestone slab be the key to opening the door? As expected, I guessed it right."

Shu Yi shook his head: "I remember you marked the last bluestone slab with lime, so you are not afraid of losing your life if you make a mistake in your judgment?" Xie Yi said, "You have to try it, and I have a way to deal with it."

When I entered the stone gate, I saw a coffin, but the coffin was very special. It was very large, about five meters long and three meters wide. One person was tall and there was no coffin lid. There were stone steps next to the coffin, with a total of four levels. You could see inside the coffin when you walked up.

Shu Yi walked up first. He took out a flashlight from his body and looked into the coffin. More than a dozen corpses were piled up in the coffin. The most strange thing was that the corpse did not rot much, and the appearance of the deceased could be vaguely seen. However, the smell here was very unpleasant and disgusting.

Ye Qinghan and the others also stood up, and several flashlights shot on the body. Ye Qinghan screamed in shock: "Ah? Is it them?" Shu Yi turned his head and asked, "Do you know them?" Ye Qinghan said, "No, I only know the four of them above. They are our missing scouts, but we have five missing in total, and one of them has a corpse?" Shu Yi said, "Pick out the four of them, and then you can open them and look for them to see if they are pressing on the front."

Shu Yi spoke very ordinary, as if he was looking for ordinary objects. Xie Yi almost vomited.

Several people took action to lift the four people out, and Shu Yi said, "Ximen, the dead will not lie. As long as you are careful, you will be able to collect the evidence we want from them. Qinghan, continue to look for it. There is still a body that is not in the coffin. If it really doesn't work, go down and flip it."

Ximen Wuwang and Ye Qinghan began to work hard. Shu Yi took out a cigarette and lit one, and said thankfully: "Sir, give me one too. The smell here is really unbearable." Shu Yi handed one to him and he took it and asked.

The two squatted down and illuminated Ximen Wuwang with a flashlight. Ximen Wuwang carefully inspected the body: "The four people should be killed at the same time. A month ago, they were strangled alive, but before the strangulation, they should have been in a coma, because there were no signs of struggle here. They died of more or less malnutrition, and there were strangulation marks on their hands and feet, so they should have been detained."

Shu Yi said, "The marks on the neck are very thin, they should be wire with metal texture, right?" Ximen Wuwang nodded: "Well, something like thin iron wire." Shu Yi nodded, and did not speak anymore. Ye Tianhan also came over. He shook his head: "No, one missing." Ximen Wuwang asked, "What should I do with the corpse?"

Shu Yi said, "Let's go back and bury them later. Let's go to the cave on the left." Ye Qinghan said coldly, "Didn't you see it just now?" Shu Yi said, "Look it again, maybe you will have unexpected surprises."
