Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 410: Encountering Organs
"Is this chicken blood stone? Why is it so red?" Wu Zhanzhan turned on his headlight and looked up and down and asked.

Gu Qinglan also stopped, banged on the stone wall with the engineer shovel for a long time, and said:

"That's right, the rock layer in this section is a chicken blood stone jade mine. Now we have entered the treasure mountain, but we just don't know if we will return empty-handed."

Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan were both speechless.

It was disappointing to return empty-handed, but after finding the master's bones, would it be considered "returning with a full load"?It’s the same sadness!
The three of them continued forward, walking in the strange lights and shadows.

The road under his feet turned, and the light of Ding Ermiao's headlight caught another person.

a dead man.

The three stopped together and looked at each other.

The dead man lay face down on the steps, close to the side of the stone wall.The clothes on my body are still there, but they are of the same style and color as they were decades ago.Judging from the hair, clothes and figure, the deceased was also a woman.

Ding Ermiao stepped forward, knelt down, carefully turned over the female body, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The female corpse did not rot, but was completely dried in the passage and turned into a mummy, with a sallow complexion and skin and bones.

The forehead was bruised and the skin cracked, revealing a white skull.

"Looking at the sleeping posture of the female corpse, it should have come up from below." Gu Qinglan frowned and analyzed: "She probably fainted due to a bump when she walked here, and finally died in a coma."

"So..., there are still people living under the passage? Or, there is another road below. Otherwise, where did this person come from?" Wu Zhanzhan asked.

Ding Ermiao moved the female body aside, waved his hand, and asked Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan to continue walking down.

Any inference now is not warranted.Maybe if we go a little further, the truth will emerge.

But the further down you go, the more female corpses you encounter.After barely walking more than a dozen steps, you can encounter one or two female corpses.These female corpses were the same as the previous ones. They had all dried up, lying on their backs or lying on the steps.

At first, Gu Qinglan was still counting, but later, she felt like she was counting.

"Why are so many women dying here?" Gu Qinglan looked sad, with a little fear and intolerance.

Wu Zhanzhan pointed to the steps in front and said: "Looking at the posture, they all ran up from below and died here. If you want to know the answer, you must go to the end and check!"

After walking down for another five or six minutes, at the corner, Ding Ermiao, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped again and said, "I'm going, I've been hit by a trap!"

"What mechanism?!" Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan were both startled and looked behind Ding Ermiao.

At first glance, Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan both blurted out and shouted: "Thousand-Turn Hanging Soul Ladder?!"

Ding Ermiao pointed to the female corpse in front of her and said, "Am I right? The first one we encountered just now was this female corpse, right?"

Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan turned on the headlights together, stepped forward to check carefully.

Sure enough, it was the first female corpse.The hair, clothes, body, and the white bones exposed by the cracked skin on the forehead are all exactly the same.

Moreover, before leaving just now, Ding Ermiao moved the female corpse aside and slept on her back.Now her posture has not moved at all and remains the same as before.

In other words, these three people walked all the way down and walked back up again, encountering the first female corpse again.

"Could it be that we have already entered the tomb passage?" Gu Qinglan's expression changed drastically and her voice trembled as she said:

"The hanging soul ladder is a mechanism in the tomb passage. I have only heard of it, but I have never encountered it. There is a hanging soul ladder here. Could it be that the tomb is underneath? I heard that no one who enters the hanging soul ladder can survive. Out."

Ding Ermiao turned around and looked around, saying:
"It's really strange. These steps clearly go all the way down, so how can we go up again? Moreover, according to my master, the hanging soul ladder is generally very short. But we walked for more than ten minutes before returning to the starting point. There are Such a large-scale soul-hanging ladder?"

Qiu Sanpo said that the average hanging soul ladder only takes about 3 minutes.Because this kind of mechanism requires very finesse and is natural.The longer the hanging soul ladder is, the more difficult it is to arrange.

But Ding Ermiao estimated that it took more than ten minutes between leaving the female corpse and meeting him again.

Wu Zhanzhan frowned and pondered for a long time, took out a copper coin from his pocket, put it on the chest of the female corpse, and turned around and said, "Let's go further down. If we encounter this female corpse again in a few minutes, then we can conclude that this is Hanging Soul Ladder.”

"I don't think it's necessary... so many women died here because they were trapped in the soul-hanging ladder, unable to find a way out, and finally died of hunger, thirst and fatigue." Gu Qinglan smiled bitterly and said: "Turn around and come here ,waste time."

There was actually a little bit of despair in his tone.

"Even if it is a waste of time, we have to go around again. If we don't look for the exit, won't we be trapped in the Soul-Suspended Ladder for the rest of our lives?" Wu Zhanzhan said: "Even the Soul-Suspended Ladder is not that scary. It can really trap us. ?”

"Junior Sister's words make sense!" Ding Ermiao called to Gu Qinglan and said, "Come on, Sister Lan, there must be a way to the mountain!"

When Gu Qinglan heard this, she became energetic.Both Wu Zhanzhan and Ding Ermiao are disciples of Maoshan Mountain. Since they said so, they must have a way to crack the Hanging Soul Ladder and get out of the predicament.

The three of them cheered up and continued walking down, observing as they walked.

Along the road, the female corpses I met just now appeared in front of me one by one.Before they reached the starting point, Ding Ermiao and others already understood that this was indeed the soul-hanging ladder.

However, the hanging soul ladder is also divided into two-way and one-way, and the two are different.At present, it is impossible to tell whether this is a two-way or one-way layout.

Regardless of whether it is two-way or one-way, the method of arranging people on such a large-scale hanging soul ladder is indeed terrifying.

Before setting off this time, Gu Qinglan checked the time.

Ten minutes later, the three people returned to the starting point, standing next to the first mummy.Wu Zhanzhan bent down and picked up the copper coins he had put down earlier, shook his head and smiled: "It's really unnecessary."

"13 minutes," Gu Qinglan looked at the time again and said, "We walked down for 13 minutes, and now we are back to the starting point."

Wu Zhanzhan also nodded and said: "Starting from the starting point, there are a total of 380 steps in this lap. I also counted them."

"Thirteen minutes, it's a bit unlucky..." Ding Ermiao thought for a while, turned back and pointed to the upward steps, and asked, "Do you want to walk around again?"

"Why go up? The Hanging Soul Staircase is a cycle, it's the same no matter where you go." Gu Qinglan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Wu Zhanzhan was stunned and asked: "The hanging soul ladder also has a two-way and one-way difference, don't you know?"

"What's more important? I don't know." Gu Qinglan shook her head blankly.
