Chapter 476: Standing Corpse
"There must be something up ahead that is interfering with the hands of the coil, so be careful. Uncle Li said in a deep voice.
After a few of us continued to walk a distance, we came to a relatively open area, which had been artificially carved into a large space, because there was no fire in it, so we couldn't see what was going on in the hole.
Ding Yi walked in the front, he first used a flashlight to shine into the hole, and suddenly, a figure appeared where the light shone! Because Ding Yi only swept with a flashlight, the speed was very fast, but a few of us could see it clearly.
"What's that?" I said, a little alarmed.
Ding Yi, who was beside me, said coldly, "People, don't you know whether they are living or dead......
Hearing him say this, I instantly felt my scalp tingle, although I am not alone in this darkness now, but although the figure just now was only a quick glance, I can clearly see where that guy is standing!
In such a place, the chance of encountering a living person should be very small, but the chance of encountering a dead person who can stand on their own is even greater...... Thinking of this, I hurriedly touched the beast tooth on my chest, but fortunately it was still hanging on my chest, so that I could feel a little more at ease.
At this time, Luo Hai was alone on the cave walls on both sides of the careful search, according to his previous experience, there must be some kind of mechanism that can open the "lighting equipment" here.
Sure enough, within two clicks, he found a groove embedded in the cave wall, and the contents were the same as the fire oil in the stone piers outside, so he asked Uncle Li for a match to light it......
In an instant, a fiery snake sprang out along the cave wall, and then I saw that dozens of fire oil lamps suddenly lit up in the cave, illuminating the inside at once. At the same time, the figure that had just appeared in the light of the flashlight stood impressively less than 10 meters away from us.
Looking at the person's dress, it should be a man from the Qing Dynasty, with a big braid hanging down from his waist on the back of his head. I took a closer look and found that this person's clothes were very familiar, how did he look like the Fu Gonggong next to Gege?
"Father-in-law......" I muttered.
When Uncle Li heard this, he asked me in a low voice, "You said this is the eunuch?"
I nodded and said, "Look at the back and dress like that." ”
As soon as Ding heard this, he told us not to move yet, and he went over to see it himself...... But I couldn't feel anything at this distance now, so I cautiously followed him.
But as Ding Yi and I got closer and closer, I gradually felt that something was wrong! So I turned back to Uncle Li and said, "It's strange, why can't I feel anything?!"
Uncle Li also walked over immediately when he heard this, because often there is nothing good at this time, people saw him and Luo Hai walking a few steps quickly to catch up with us, and then walked towards the Fu Gonggong together......
When we got closer, I was immediately frightened and took a few steps back, what is this? Is this still a human? Only that guy's face was actually a dried corpse a long time ago, but his chin was cut off by someone, and there was a strange oil lamp in front of him.
The oil lamp seemed to be illuminating, but it was actually burning the chin of the corpse, and the oil from the lamp was flowing from the chin of the corpse...... The picture is extremely weird and terrifying, which makes people shudder when they see it.
When Uncle Li saw it, he couldn't help but say, "Only an animal like a human can be so cruel to its own kind......
"Why can't I feel anything?" I said curiously.
Uncle Li took a closer look at the oil lamp on the ground and said, "This oil lamp is not simple, it looks ordinary, but it is a soul-burning lamp." As the old saying goes, a person with a short chin will die short, but if the chin of a living person is shaved off and then roasted by this lamp, his soul can be burned away little by little...... It seems that this man must have sinned heinously, or he would not have been tortured like this......"
"You mean he was chopped off alive? Then how could he still stand here so honestly, when a person is suffering severe pain in his body, no matter how strong his endurance is, it is impossible to stand here so motionless!" I said with a look of disbelief.
When Uncle Li saw that I didn't believe me, he pointed to the corpse's feet and said, "There must be some mystery here, so that the corpse will always stand." ”
At this time, Luo Hai also said to me, "You see that the shoes on this corpse's feet are very high, even if the shoes of the ancients are different from those of our modern people, they can't be so high! If I guess correctly, his feet have long been nailed to the ground by long nails! If you look closely at his trouser legs, there must be iron tools fixed to the joints inside, which makes him look like he is standing there from the outside." ”
I listened for a while, if these mechanisms were nailed to the joints while he was alive, and then he was slowly roasted to death by this small oil lamp on the ground, then the process would be too cruel and torturous, right?
Now look at the corpse's face, although he has become a dry corpse, but I can still see the painful expression on his face before death, and the direction of his eyes......
I followed his gaze and saw that there was a strange black coffin in the direction he was facing! it was pitch black, so it was hard to spot it immediately in a dimly lit place. At first glance, it seems that the material of this coffin does not look like wood, but rather metal.
"Iron coffin?" I said, confused.
Luo Hai immediately shook his head and said, "No, first of all, this color is wrong, and besides, it is impossible for both iron coffins and copper coffins not to rust in such a humid environment! Remember the blood coffin that blocked the road just now? It should be a traditional wooden coffin, but because there is a lot of water inside and outside, it will grow moss like blood." ”
I was very curious when I heard Luo Hai say it, what kind of metal was not rusty in the past? Or is it really metal? Thinking of this, I looked around, trying to find a small stone or something on the ground, but after looking for a long time, I found that the ground here is surprisingly clean, and it has been carefully polished, which is comparable to the current marble floor!
As soon as Ding saw my thief's head, he asked me, "What are you looking for?"
"I'd like to find a little rock to throw on that coffin and listen to it, so I can know if it's metal or not!"
Luo Hai hurriedly stopped me when he heard this, "Little Ancestor, can we stop messing around! Don't you don't hear this sound when the time comes, and you will provoke my aunt and grandmother inside, if we can't clean it up at that time, then we will all have to stay and bury her!"
