It is said to be a passage, but it is actually a crack formed by the collapse of the mountain. It has just been cleaned up. The ground is very clean, covered with a layer of bluestone, and the mountains on both sides have been repaired to make it very smooth. I guess this kind of place should be
It is caused by earthquakes or stratigraphic fractures.
Perhaps because the ventilation here is very good, it feels chilly when people walk inside, as if they are standing directly under the air-conditioning vent.
After advancing for a certain distance, I gradually discovered some strange places. There were gradually more stone carvings on the mountains on both sides. They were the kind where you dig a hole in the mountain and then put the stone carvings inside. The strange thing is that these stone carvings are all
The back is facing out and the face is facing in. It looks like a person who is facing the wall and thinking about his past.
There were more and more stone carvings, and in the end they were almost too dense to count. At this time, Shuiyue in front suddenly said: "Lower your head, don't look behind you, and don't look around."
I heard something was wrong in her voice, so I asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"These are not stone sculptures, but human figurines, filled with dead people. This is one of their graveyards."
I shuddered. These countless stone sculptures were actually dead people. Why were the dead people placed on the mountain wall?
Shuiyue walked faster and faster, looking very impatient. I looked puzzled, so what if this was a cemetery? It was just dead people, and they couldn't move.
But as soon as this idea came up, I felt something was wrong. There was a dark wind behind me, and there were some noises from time to time, as if something was following us.
"Shuiyue, did you hear any noise? Why do I feel something is wrong?"
"Don't talk, just move forward. Don't look back, or you will suffer."
I had no choice but to close my mouth and move forward, but the weird sound behind me got louder and louder. In the end, I felt like it was ringing in my ears, and a stream of cold air penetrated my neck.
, gave me goosebumps all over my body.
Finally, I couldn't help it any longer, and looked back quietly with Shuiyue behind my back.
But there was nothing behind me. I just breathed a sigh of relief. However, I suddenly discovered with horror that all the stone carvings on the mountain wall turned their faces, with a weird smile hanging on the corners of their mouths, and their eyes seemed to be moving.
Keep an eye on me alone.
Cold sweat started flowing down my face. Even a god couldn't bear to see so many dead people staring at me.
At this moment, my eyes suddenly went dark, and I couldn't see anything for a while. There were only countless pairs of eyes staring at me in the darkness, and from time to time, a strange laugh came from me.
"Idiot, I told you not to look back."
I heard Shuiyue's voice, and then I felt a hand being pulled. At this time, my mind went blank, and I was being pulled forward like a puppet, until finally I completely lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took before I woke up again. There was still darkness in front of my eyes, but I felt a soft body pressing tightly against me, and one of my arms was hugging her.
My arms felt very sore and numb. I tried to move, but found that I was in a very narrow place and couldn't even turn over.
"Suigetsu?"
"Idiot, I told you not to look back, why didn't you listen to me?"
"I, I'm curious!"
"Curiosity can kill."
I couldn't say a word after being scolded, and it took me a long time to calm down and ask, "What happened just now?"
"What do you think? There are so many dead people hidden and the yin energy is so strong. If something doesn't come out, do you think it's possible?"
"Then where is this place? I feel like I am being pressed by something, and I can hardly breathe."
"The coffin, of course the one pressing on us is the dead."
My heart was beating wildly. Why did I run into the coffin and be pressed by a dead person? Could it be that a Zongzi came out? No, Zongzi doesn’t have such things. Could it be that this Zongzi likes to lie on other people’s bodies?
sleep?
My mind was in chaos, but Shuiyue said: "Don't worry, this is just a dead man, he will protect us."
I was about to ask, but she interrupted me: "Stop talking, that thing is coming."
At this time, I heard a strange noise coming from outside, like someone's heavy breathing, but if I listened carefully, it should be the sound of something dragging on the ground.
The sound was getting closer and closer, but the coffin we were hiding in was hit hard. I heard Shuiyue's heartbeat quicken, and I became more and more nervous.
"Kaka!"
This was the sound of the coffin lid being opened. I smelled a strong putrid smell, and then the body was turned over. I heard a "pop" sound, and a stream of liquid was sprinkled on my face. I
I felt that it must be blood. The blood of the corpse on my body made me so sick that I almost vomited it out.
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
A very strange sound came. I thought about it and suddenly I was shocked. Could it be that the monster above was eating the dead man's body?
I suppressed my nausea and fear and turned to look at Shuiyue. Although I couldn't see a trace of her expression in the darkness, I could feel that she was also trying her best to endure this discomfort.
After a long time, the sound stopped, the coffin lid was closed again, the putrid smell gradually disappeared, and the monster was gone.
I let out a long breath, and then I realized that my whole body was soaked with sweat. Shuiyue beside me was also panting violently, and he was obviously very frightened.
After about five minutes, we pushed open the lid of the coffin and crawled out. We found that we were all in a mess, covered with black liquid, and there were still some liquid and minced meat left on the ground next to the coffin.
There was a churn in one's stomach.
I looked at Shuiyue, she was glaring at me, and I couldn't help but blush. I was the one who caused this. Fortunately, she was here, otherwise my life would have been sealed.
I smiled at her sheepishly, and then I looked around with a flashlight. This was a large stone room with many sarcophagi, and the one we just lay in was one of them.
"What is this place? Why so many coffins?"
"It should be the burial place for some relatively high-status people, such as the clan's old priest Zhang."
"So, this is still a very important place?"
"That's natural. In a slave society, class divisions are very strict. If you don't have that status, you are not qualified to enter here."
"That's it! Then do you think there will be any good things here? For example, jade, bronze and other underworld artifacts?" I said with eyes shining.
Shuiyue smiled and didn't object: "You'll know if you open it and take a look!"
I saw that she agreed, and impromptuly rushed to a sarcophagus. The sarcophagus here was a little rough, and the thickness of the coffin was less than three fingers. I easily opened the lid, but
When I looked inside, I almost vomited.
The situation inside this sarcophagus is somewhat similar to the one we just lay in. The corpse inside has not decayed. It must be because it is in a corpse raising ground. The deceased is a man with a bronze mask on his face and clothes like
It seemed to be in good condition at that time, and all the limbs were intact. But the difference was that a big hole was dug out of the belly of this corpse by something unknown, and the inside was blurry. All the internal organs were gone, but there was half an extra cavity.
The dark, viscous liquid gave off an extremely strong stench.
It’s so fucking disgusting! I didn’t see anything valuable inside. The most valuable thing is probably the bronze mask, but I don’t want to take it off and carry it with me. So I can only suppress my nausea and put it on my body.
The lid was put back on, and I looked back. Shuiyue was looking at me with squinted eyes, as if she was snickering.
"How's it going, Wang Fo, have you found any good treasures?" she asked with a smile.
I blushed, this time I made a fool of myself, I guess she already knew what was going on and was just deliberately watching my joke.
"There are some treasures, but everyone is dead now, so I managed to hide some private goods. If I just took them away, it would be too unethical, so I think we should forget it!" I said with a face.
Said awkwardly.
Shuiyue shook her head and did not embarrass me any more. She looked at the door of the stone room and said, "Let's leave quickly. If the monster comes back again, we will be doomed."
I nodded and followed him to the corner of the stone chamber. There were three exits in this stone chamber. The front was the main entrance, and there were two portals on each side at the back. We chose the portal on the left.
As soon as you walk into the stone gate, you will see a staircase going straight down. It looks so deep that even a flashlight cannot illuminate the end.
After walking for about ten minutes, we just finished walking up the stairs. We were hit by a cold wind. This was different from the bone-chilling wind. It should be a naturally formed wind, and there was also a cold wind blowing in our face.
Due to the damp smell, I guessed there must be strong water flowing in front of me.
Shuiyue also agreed with my point of view. She said that there are many underground rivers in this part of the Qinling Mountains. It is not surprising at all that there are undercurrents here, but it should not be parallel flowing rivers that can create such strong winds. It would be a waterfall.
There is still a possibility.
Seeing her uncertain look, I felt something in my heart and said to her wisely: "Actually, this question is very simple."
"Oh? How do you judge?" she asked curiously.
I smiled confidently and said, "We just need to walk over and take a look, and we'll know!"
After saying that, I laughed, and smiled proudly, of course, not because of how wise this suggestion was, but because I finally got through to her, which made me feel proud.
But unexpectedly, Shuiyue frowned and lowered his head in thought. After a while, he raised his head and said to me: "You are right. I didn't expect you to think of a good way to live like this. I really didn't see it. This time
You are considered awesome."
Seeing the serious look on her face, the smile on my face suddenly froze, and I felt the urge to vomit blood. She must have done it on purpose, I thought to myself.
"Okay, don't play your cleverness in front of me, let's go!" Shuiyue gave me a narrow smile and walked forward first.
