"Hiss..." Just when I was feeling a little uneasy, I heard the fat man take a breath of cold air and unconsciously take a step back. I quickly looked over and felt a creepy feeling.
The purple-black face can be described as horrific. The two eyes turned into two black holes, the nose was cut off, the tongue was missing from the open mouth, and all the facial features on the face were gone.
Now I finally understand why he was covered with ghost clothes. It turns out that this man was tortured to death. But what I don’t understand is, if he was a prisoner, why should such a big tomb be built for him?
After thinking about it later, I vaguely understood that maybe this person was a relative of the emperor during his lifetime, and he would naturally be punished if he committed a crime. However, the royal family has a good reputation, and such embarrassing things will definitely not spread. Building such a large tomb will definitely not spread.
It was just to take into account the dignity of the royal family.
But is this really the case? Such a huge project and such strict anti-theft measures are just for one prisoner? It seems that this should be impossible. It seems that there is some story in it that we don’t know.
At this time, the monkey had already taken out the ancient sword, and pulled it out with a "squeak" sound. The ancient sword was smooth and bright, and the sharp edge reflected the cold light. There was no trace of rust on the entire sword.
, the preservation is really perfect.
"Good sword." The monkey exclaimed with joy, waved it twice, and smiled proudly: "What a good thing, it will be mine from now on. With this sword, I can meet gods and kill them in the future.
Gods meet and kill Buddhas, slay demons and demons, and do justice for heaven. A generation of heroes in the new century is about to be born."
Seeing his proud look, the fat man next to him who was looking depressed couldn't help but hit him with words: "Have you read too many martial arts novels? The sword is a good sword, but I can guarantee that if you dare to take it out for a walk...
If you follow the circle, a group of people from the yamen will soon come to challenge you with trolls. Before that generation of heroes is born, a generation of reform-through-labor prisoners will be born first."
"Hey, what the hell, can you please keep your moral integrity? Even if we can't become heroes, why can't we still fantasize about it?"
"Okay, then you can continue your fantasy, Mr. Gua, I... Mr. Gua..." The fat man's voice became smaller and smaller. I heard something was wrong, so I looked towards him and found that he was looking into the coffin with his eyes wide open, his face
It was completely white.
"Damn it, that thing moved." The fat man screamed in horror, and held a willow shovel tightly in his hand.
The monkey and I were both shocked. We hurriedly looked into the coffin, and a chill ran down our spines. The corpse in the coffin started to tremble in waves, and the frequency became faster and faster, as if a person was swinging a pendulum.
"Damn it, are we going to pick up the body?" the monkey yelled, hurriedly pulled out the ancient sword, held it with both hands facing the coffin, stuck out his buttocks, and looked like a devil who entered the village.
I was also completely panicked and didn’t know what to do. In desperation, I directed all my grievances on Fatty: “Fuck you, Fatty, I’m going to be killed by you, what should I do now? What if you can’t think of a way?
, I will strangle you miser to death first."
The fat man grinned and kept mumbling, "Calm down, calm down..." But the hands holding the shovel kept shaking, just like my legs. Damn it, I can't help but shake.
Who wouldn't be afraid when encountering this situation?
Suddenly, the fat man's body shook. I thought he had come up with some good idea. Unexpectedly, he grabbed me by the collar and ran away. "You can't stand it anymore. Run away quickly. That mud monkey, hurry up too."
Click here, otherwise we will have to leave here."
I really wanted to kick his fat ass. The impassioned speech he said before almost overwhelmed me, but at this moment, the hero turned into a bear, which made me very angry.
But at this time, I didn't care to scold him, and ran away with them both. There was a side room on the left and right side of the underground palace. In desperation, we got into the side room on the left as close as possible.
.
The monkey was thin and the fastest. He ran at the front with a flashlight. I followed him closely, while the fat man fell behind. As he ran, he shouted: "Take it easy, take it easy, Gua Ye can't catch him."
.”
At this moment, the monkey running at the front suddenly said "Ouch", and a dog gnawed its feces and fell to the ground. The flashlight in its hand also flew out and rolled to a place several meters away.
I hurried up, but before I could ask, I heard him curse and say: "Damn it, I tripped over something." As he said that, he sat up from the ground, stretched out his hand to fumble around for a while, and then picked up something.
Because the flashlight was thrown away, although it was not extinguished, the light was not facing us, so I could only vaguely see the round thing, which looked very, very much like...
Before I could remember what it was, the monkey threw the thing far away and shouted: "He has a s***, and his head is rattling (skull)."
I was startled, and just about to speak, I felt my arm being pulled. It turned out that the fat man had run to my side at some point, and I saw his eyes staring in one direction, and said coldly: "Brother, now we are in trouble.
.”
I looked along his line of sight, and my whole body froze. I felt a cold air rising from the soles of my feet and going directly to the top of my head.
Deep in this side room, there is a huge round stone platform, which is actually filled with human heads, forming a huge tower of human heads. Moreover, these human heads have been carefully placed, and the dark eye sockets are all in the correct position.
Facing us, what's even weirder is that there are clusters of green lights flashing in some eye sockets, giving people a very eerie feeling.
"What is this?" I asked gently, my tone seemed very calm, but in fact, there was already a huge wave in my heart, and a voice kept ringing in my mind, what is this? What is this, this?
What the hell is this thing?
"The altar, no, it should be part of the sacrifice." The fat man answered me, his tone seemed calm, but I saw that his chest was heaving violently, and he was obviously holding back.
"Altar? Sacrifice? Were there such evil sacrifices in the Tang Dynasty?" I couldn't help but recall the pile of corpses I had seen before. I couldn't imagine what kind of sacrifice could be so evil and weird.
The fat man glanced at me, took a deep breath, and then said: "Little prince, in fact, I have long suspected that this is not a Tang tomb at all."
"you mean?"
"Those people came later, just like us."
"Dove occupying the magpie's nest?" This word flashed in my mind. "Then what period was this tomb originally supposed to be?"
"I don't know. I don't know more about this than you do, but I think it's not just as simple as a dove occupying a magpie's nest. It should be expanded by later generations. Maybe the place we are in now is not the entire tomb.
Where is the center?"
There was some confusion in my mind, and I felt that some mysteries had been solved, but new mysteries emerged. If this is not the center of the entire tomb, then who is the male corpse in the coffin? Is this the same
Is it also a suspicious tomb?
This is really uncomfortable and a headache. When you peel off a layer of silk and think you have discovered the final secret, you suddenly find that the secret is wrapped in more than one layer of silk. You peel off layer after layer, layer by layer.
Another layer, giving people a feeling of no end and no bottom line.
Where is the secret? How far is it from here? How many layers of protection are there? All these things become more and more blurry as we go deeper and deeper. This is really a very frustrating thing.
.
"Hey, what's that, Hutou, do you two deserve to have a headache over this kind of thing? What does this matter have to do with us?" Monkey's voice suddenly rang. "Hutou, we are here to find the old man.
Yes, what the hell, you are also here to find Li Dalong, right? The most important thing for us now is to find a way out. What secrets here have half a cent to do with us!"
This sentence made me wake up like a basin of cold water. Yes, this time I was just looking for clues about the disappearance of the old man. It was just an accident that I entered here. What secrets are there? There are so many secrets that I don’t need to know at all. The top priority is
Get out of here alive.
After finding the direction, I became energetic again. I patted Monkey on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you Monkey, I understand now and know what to do."
But I didn't expect the monkey to look at me and say to me in a mournful tone: "Tiger head, don't thank me. I guess our chances of leaving here alive are slim."
I was very puzzled as to why he suddenly became so depressed, and when I followed his gaze towards the tower with human heads, I suddenly understood.
Around the human head tower, there were actually densely packed black beetles, and the number was still increasing. The beetles were only the size of a fingernail, and there was a point on the head that was emitting a faint green light. Seeing those beetles
The beetles that kept crawling out of the skull's eye sockets suddenly realized that the green glowing skull eyes were due to the existence of these beetles.
I felt that these beetles looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that they were very similar to the corpse flies we had seen in the crematorium in the front hall. I secretly wondered if these beetles were those corpse flies.
Female insect?
But at this moment, the fat man suddenly screamed: "No, these are corpse voodoos. They are voodoo bugs fed on corpses. Let's leave quickly. If we get entangled with them, we will be doomed."
I didn't have time to ask him how could there be Gu insects here, so I ran forward subconsciously, but after running two steps, I couldn't help but stop, because it was already the end, and the side room we were in had no door leading to the dormitory hall.
There is absolutely no way out.
"Go back." Subconsciously, I thought that the dormitory was safer than here. After all, we didn't see the corpse with our own eyes, but before we turned around, there was a loud noise from the direction of the dormitory in the distance, like something was smashed.
The sound made my heart tremble, and I secretly thought it was over, we are dead this time.
