I didn't know what this person wanted to ask me, but I knew that his kidnapping of me was a premeditated plan, and the fake corpse was a good proof. My heart trembled, because I could tell from the tone of the "mummy"
I heard that he seemed to understand my origins. In the past, I would never have regarded myself as a central figure, but from that little book, I changed my mind. At least I understood that a long time ago, I
Someone has started to pay attention to me.
However, my panic immediately reduced a lot. The "mummy" was very rude to me and dragged me all the way like a sack. But he probably didn't have murderous intentions, otherwise there would be no need to wait until this time. Once my mood stabilized, my thinking and language were on track.
, I was coping and planning how to come up with a solution.
This artificially repaired wide and smooth passage extends deep underground. After looking at it for a long time, and based on some items and details on site, I can tell that this is a passage built a long, long time ago.
It is estimated to be before the ancient tomb above, or at least from the same period.
After reaching the end of the passage, I couldn't believe my eyes. What was in front of me? At this moment, I almost had an illusion, connecting the Kongquehe Tomb and the Xihai River.
After the passage, there is a space dug out by manpower. My visual inspection ability is relatively poor. I cannot observe the approximate area of the space. I can only feel that it is very large. In the center of this space, there is a deep and almost invisible space.
The big pit at the bottom. The diameter of the big pit is only slightly smaller than the space. When I stand on the edge of this huge pit, it seems like I am facing an abyss leading to hell, and it is like a black hole that can swallow everything.
All my senses were probably gone and I just felt dizzy.
"Look, take a good look." The mummy said to me next to him: "This is the secret behind the ancient tomb."
I was speechless because I was shocked by the landscape in front of me. This can definitely be called a miracle, a deep pit like a black hole dug by manpower. I don’t know how deep it is, and I don’t know how deep it is.
Where to go. I immediately understood why the artificial passage was so wide. It was because when digging deep pits, a large amount of earthwork, sand and gravel had to be transported out every day.
"This place was excavated two thousand years ago." The mummy explained when I was stunned: "You can look at it as you like."
After saying this, the mummy ignored me and took out some things and a mirror. The huge pit attracted me, but the behavior of the mummy, especially the mirror he took out, made me feel strange.
The attention was involuntarily shifted to him.
The mummy then began to take off his clothes, and then my strangeness turned into a kind of horror. I don't know how he survived.
The face of the mummy, as well as the skin and muscles on the body, were all ulcerated piece by piece. He held a flashlight in his arm, took out a sharp blade, and started scraping in front of the mirror. The sharp blade gently scratched off the face piece by piece.
The flesh with pus and blood separated from the body, and gradually, a pungent stench penetrated into my nostrils. It was a very familiar stench. I had smelled it before, in the basement of Taoist Qiu's hut. It was an extremely unpleasant smell.
Once you smell it once, you will never forget it.
This kind of cruel scene constantly challenged my nerves. I couldn't stand it anymore. Not only could I not stand the unpleasant smell, but also the psychology. I began to retreat slowly, and at the same time I was still analyzing whether I could get rid of the mummy.
escape.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just changing the dressing." The mummy's psychological quality has surpassed that of Guan Erye, so he held up the mirror and blade and said nonchalantly: "The time for changing the dressing is your time to observe this place, so cherish it."
"Okay, you've convinced me." I was helpless and gave up my plan to escape. Faced with such a person who was indifferent to cutting his own flesh, who would have the courage to escape? I slowly sat down and reached out to dig out
cigarette.
"As expected of Zheng Lifu's son." The mummy hissed with a smile: "He is a bit brave."
"Can you tell me first, who are you?" My eyes were completely focused on the mummy, and the emotions that had calmed down just now began to agitate again. The other party knew my identity, which was not safe.
"Just a living dead." After scraping the rotten flesh on his face, the mummy began to scrape the flesh on his body again. I don't know if it hurts to scrape the pus and blood, but when I saw the blade scratching his body, I felt that his scalp was about to burst:
"You must still want to ask, how did I know you were coming here? However, this question is meaningless to me. I only ask what I should ask."
The mummy was scraped very carefully. After a while, his body was already stinking. He shook out another small bag and applied a flesh-colored powder to the wound. This powder had a very light herbal smell.
Although the medicinal smell is weak, it is quite effective and the stench is quickly suppressed.
Without him having to say much, I could guess that this was a man who had been cursed by a ghost and was still alive. But his condition was very bad and he was probably not far from death.
Thinking of this, I hesitated for a moment. Uncle Lai said that Taoist priest Qiu seemed to be the only one who could delay the ghost curse. Since the mummy held me hostage, it meant that he and Taoist priest Lai Shuqiu were not on the same page.
"If your answer satisfies me, I won't kill you. But don't think about escaping. If you are really as smart as your father, you will know that you can't escape."
"What are you asking? I don't know anything." I spread my hands to express regret.
"I haven't asked yet, why do you say you don't know? You may not know about other things. I only want to ask one thing, what did Zheng Lifu tell you?"
"Told me nothing."
"Are you kidding?" The mummy started to laugh again, and there was a kind of ridicule and extreme distrust in the hoarse laughter: "You are Zheng Lifu's son, he may not tell you anything? He was cursed by the ghost, and he was dragged.
When the time is long enough, when he sees someone dying, he will bring the most important things into the coffin?"
"You don't believe it. I really can't help it. I only have these hundred pounds. It's up to you to decide what to do." I can only say this. I have lied countless times in my life. It's easy to tell the truth, and the other party still...
Do not believe.
"You don't have to be so harsh with your mouth. Okay, I'll take a step back. I won't ask anything else, just one question." The mummy slowly took a step towards me, its face stained with the medicinal powder that had not yet penetrated into the flesh was very ferocious:
"Password, what is the password of the black hole!"
"What password?" I was stunned for a moment. The mummy seemed a little impatient and put it on my neck with a knife that had just scraped away pus and blood.
"I've been waiting for many years! I don't have much patience anymore! What is the black hole password? Tell me!" The mummy's impatience escalated, forcing me like a confession.
"What password! If you don't know, you just don't know! Even if you kill me, you still don't know!" I felt anxious as a knife was held on my neck.
When I shouted like this, the mummy calmed down a bit. His nostrils were breathing heavily, his chest was heaving violently, and he slowly took the knife away from my neck.
"Sure enough, Zheng Lifu is still so independent. He sticks to the secret code and refuses to tell anyone, even his own son." The eyes of the mummy were full of self-mockery and resentment.
"Who are you? Are you familiar with my father?" I didn't want to hear what the mummy said about my father.
"Very familiar, very familiar." The mummy started to laugh again, but the laughter became more harsh: "I advise you, don't keep any secrets for Zheng Lifu. If you think you are his son, he will be angry with you.
Is that true? Wrong, very wrong. In this world, Zheng Lifu will not show mercy to anyone."
"I can only think you're farting."
"Then let me tell you a story, if you are interested, a story about the geological team. I wonder if Zheng Lifu has told you this story?"
The mummy didn't care whether I was interested or not. He seemed to be talking to himself or telling me something. After only listening to a few sentences, I felt very surprised. The story he told was different from the story Uncle Lai told a few days ago.
Almost exactly the same.
But as I told it, the plot of the story changed. If I hadn't encountered the mummy, I might have thought that the story back then was indeed the same as what Uncle Lai told me.
In the first half of the story, the mummy and Uncle Lai told the same story, but in the second half, they were two completely different versions. Of course I would not easily believe what the mummy said, but he blurted out this past incident, so
This shows that even if he is not a participant, he is at least an insider.
"Do you know who I am? You definitely don't know." The mummy smiled miserably: "Not only you, if I don't tell anyone, no one will know who I am."
