Chapter 31: The Shrouded Corpse

Holding the hand of the witch of Chu State, naturally the ridicule of the two buddies is indispensable, but fortunately, I am not afraid of crooked shadows, and when they make fun of me, it is an adjustment in this tense atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But to be honest, although everyone was amusing each other at this time, it was actually very heavy, because we couldn't be sure what was waiting for us behind the door.

After the joke, the whole space returned to infinite silence, I took a deep breath, and Chen Yu's hand touched the bronze door on the west side, the wall of the door was very thick, it seemed to be twenty centimeters, very stocky.

He glanced at us and motioned for the door to open, and I gently let go of the witch's hand, picked up the Mongolian sword, and nodded to him.

The door is slowly opening, and all mysteries are about to be answered. At this moment, I was breathing heavily, and my heart was both expectant and apprehensive.

The light in the door became more and more apparent, and before we could see what was inside, a thick smell of corruption came out of the widening crack in the door, a bit like the smell of a meat stall in a vegetable market, but it stinked even more.

I endured the discomfort, the treasure behind me pinched my nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Damn, old man, this smell is too disgusting, there must be some filth piled up in it, let's not go in." ”

Chen Yu leaned over, looked at Baocai and was about to retreat, turned around and said softly: "Liu Baocai, you still don't like this smell, when you lived in my house, I didn't think your feet smelled!"

"you!" Bao Cai scolded, "How fragrant do you think you are!"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Hey, don't say it, you see that Liuzi is an art student, and people don't have the hypocrisy of a graduate student like you who needs to study the spirit!" As he spoke, Lao Yu threw a wink at me, and then took out a bottle of green stuff from his belt, this thing is a little familiar, and if you look closely, it is actually Feng Youjing.

I smiled bitterly, this is the favorite thing that Lao Yu likes to bring when he goes out on weekdays, when he appreciates the treasure, he is afraid of being pitted, so he takes this and uses it to refresh himself anytime and anywhere. No, he wiped two drops of wind oil essence on the tip of his nose, and after feeling refreshed, he passed his magic weapon to the little Taoist.

We each wiped a little bit, and it was so exciting that it really muffled up a bit of the smell.

"How's it going, it's much more comfortable, isn't it?" Chen Yu stood up, looking scared.

I nodded, and I wanted to say that his strange habit helped, but before I could say it, Chen Yu smiled evilly, and then pulled the bronze door open, and as soon as the door opened, a monstrous stench came to my face.

The little Taoist priest on the side felt something strange, and hurriedly opened his arms to block us behind, saying, "Stand back!

Hearing what he said, I hurriedly covered my mouth and secretly scolded the eighteenth generation of Chen Yu's ancestors.

The stench clouded all our senses, and when the wave of air came out, everyone opened their eyes again, and they were all half frightened to death by the sight before them.

Looking at the things in front of me, my mind froze, and I said to myself in a trembling voice, "What...... What's the situation!"

At this moment, everyone stood in front of the bronze door on the west side, and there were no living people in it that we had begun to expect, but there were everlasting lamps. Its firelight was pale, illuminating the bronze holes in the four walls, strange and dark.

The hole resembles a vampire's lair, but it's even more eerie because of the contrast between the yellowish strips of white cloth wrapped around the humanoid object in this dark environment. It looked like a corpse cocoon, like a mummy inside a pyramid, and they were ghostly placed on the wall, neatly arranged.

The scene in front of me was like a white figure standing in a dark window, which made the whole space reveal an evil nature, and there were many corpse cocoons, and there were nine such things on each wall.

This feeling is not good, imagine that the holes in the wall are coffins, these corpse cocoons are erected, then we go in, it is like going to the ancient kind of Yizhuang. I shuddered at the thought and forced myself not to think too deeply.

The first of us to regain composure was the little Taoist priest, who looked at the corpse cocoons on the four walls, and then walked in, and I was about to stop him, but my legs and feet did not obey the call, and I could only watch his white figure in this secluded space facing dozens of corpses wrapped in strips of cloth.

From the angle from which I was standing, although the corpses were covered with cheeks, their heads were not all tilted up or level, but slightly lowered, as if staring at the little Taoist.

After a few seconds of mental struggle, I urged my legs, the witch followed me, and the treasure jumped to the side of the little Taoist priest, as if he were a protective shield.

We looked at ourselves, this space was much higher than the front room, and there were a lot of cold weapons in it, most of these weapons were made of iron, a small part of them were made of bronze, and there were some shields, armor and other weapons.

I walked up to the little priest, who was looking at a bronze sword and studying it.

Lao Yu looked at the utensils in the bronze room and said, "It's strange, how can there be weapons of palace guards in the tomb of a witch......

His words caught my attention, because I couldn't figure out why a woman needed such a funeral utensil.

Just as I was thinking about this question, the little Taoist priest on the side touched the pattern on the sword and said lightly: "Because the corpses we see now are the people in the palace, and they are part of the burial." The little Taoist priest put down the bronze sword in his hand, turned to look at us who were confused, and said: "This is in the west, for the white tiger position, the white tiger symbolizes might, and the soldiers are related, the person who designed this tomb put these martyrs here, is to guard the main coffin room of the yellow dragon position." If my guess is correct, the east is the green dragon, and it should also be a room, and the situation inside it may be similar to here, but it will be relatively good......"

"Damn, I didn't expect this Chu tomb to be a multi-chamber tomb...... Could it be that the witch is really some powerful horn in the palace?" Chen Yu stroked his chin, thinking seriously, as if he had come up with something, he asked me, "Hey, Liuzi, do you think the owner of this tomb will be a concubine or a beautiful princess?"

I heard him start to guess, and hurriedly added: "You think too much, if you are a concubine, can you let her fall in love with a servant, and then die and make her such a terrible tomb?"

Chen Yu nodded and muttered, "That's right...... That's the princess......"

"If you want me to say, no matter what the identity of this woman is, look at her ruthlessness, that's really no one, you say that it is okay to let people be buried with you, and you also wrap people with strips of cloth, so that people can't lie down and die, but stand here, like a corpse, scared to death. Suddenly it was Bao Cai who spoke, and he said as he carried the bronze sword.

When Chen Ji heard this, he said: "You know a fart, this witch boss just wants to use these people to scare you into this kind of cowardice, so that you will retreat!"

He said a word to you, and I choked a sentence, I shook my head, I couldn't help but feel that these two goods were really okay, and they could go to such a place to fight, but it was okay, the whole terrifying space was full of excitement at this time, and the depressing feeling gradually lessened.

I continued to study what I just saw, and there were words engraved next to each bronze cave, like people's names, but to recognize these Chu characters, I was not good at it, unless there were students from the examination department like Xue Wei present now.

I sighed softly at the thought of my old friend, and looking down from above, I noticed that there was a slender groove under each bronze wall of this space, which surrounded the whole space, like a ditch for water in a public bathroom. If you look closely, the center of the bronze casting ground in this space is high, and the direction of the groove is low, like when we decorate the balcony, we will pour the position near the floor drain relatively low, and then let the water go down smoothly. This design is very ingenious and very intelligent, but if you think about it, this bronze room is very airtight, and there should be no problem of stagnant water that needs to be drained, so what is it for existing?

My heart was faintly uneasy, I always felt that this place was full of conspiracy, I pinched my chin and secretly analyzed, combining all the doubts together: the Yellow Dragon Mechanism--New Earth--The Living Man--Breathing-Snooping--The Bronze Gate on the West Side--The Cocoon--The Weapon--The Groove.

This analysis, I suddenly felt bad, put all the questions together, just imagine that just now I really discovered the mystery of the Yellow Dragon Mechanism, and was about to open it, and then a living person has been secretly spying on us. In order to prevent us from entering the main coffin, he took advantage of his familiarity with this place and opened the bronze door on the west side to lead us in. And logically speaking, if there is no danger in the room on the west side, we will still come out smoothly and open the door of the main coffin, and there is no need for him to do this superfluous means. Now there is only one possibility, just like the Miao girl reminded us at the beginning, and the little Taoist priest just said, the existence of the tomb guards is to guard the main coffin room, so the conclusion is - we will all die, and the living person is sure that we will die in the bronze room on the west side, as for how to die, it is unknown......

Thinking about this, I suddenly realized that the trough was not as simple as I thought, and felt a strange aura spreading on my body, I immediately bowed down, and behind me Chen Yu and Baocai looked at my sudden movements, and asked me what was wrong, did I find any treasure, I didn't listen, because at this moment, my hand touched something red on the corner line of the sink - it was blood, this is the blood trough, and this room may be a slaughterhouse!

I stood up in surprise, and when I found out about this problem, I couldn't speak. At this time, the little Taoist priest looked at the bronze wall, he was different from my research, he was looking at the corpse cocoon.

I thought to myself that he must have found something wrong, and was about to ask, but the Miao girl grabbed me and said, "You have all seen what you should see, stay here any longer, you will really die......" Her tone was eager, and from her anxious expression, I felt that something bad was about to happen.

Things are just as I thought, after the little Taoist priest took his eyes off the corpse cocoon, he said in a deep voice: "The situation is very bad, some of the strips of cloth wrapped around their bodies are old, but some are new...... And the material is also different. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yu, who was choosing a weapon, turned around and said casually: "What is new, old, what do you mean?"

However, when the little Taoist priest said, I instantly understood that the corpses of feelings were not all from the Warring States period, and some of them may be corpses from the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Damn, I cursed in my heart, new strips of cloth mean new corpses, which means that they may have come here to fight like us, and then they were made into corpse cocoons. And the Miao girl kept reminding us not to come in because she knew the situation inside......

Damn! I kept scolding, I couldn't imagine what means the people hiding in the shadows would use to kill us, and now the panic hit the whole body, and the whole person was ruthless.

The Miao witch was behind me, obviously a little scared, and the little Taoist priest stared at the corpse cocoon tightly, and said to us, "Let's go, ......" I heard a sense of crisis in his tone.

Baocai saw the valuable things, and was looking for fun, he didn't look back and said: "Half immortal, waiting, there are so many good things here, everything should be worth a lot of money, let's pick a few good ones, and when we get out, we will have to enjoy it......"

"Enjoy a bird, how much can you sell for bronze in this era, grandpa, I picked it out for my own use, you are a good ......" When Chen Yu saw the good goods, his IQ and perception were zero.

The two of them said without noticing, and the cold sweat on my head was already dripping, because in my line of sight, directly in front of them, a corpse was moving strangely, he moved very slightly, but because his body was wrapped in strips of cloth, his form was a little twisted and deformed in the struggle.

I swallowed my saliva, as if half-awake and half-asleep, Lao Yu turned around and looked at us, the smile just now froze, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was wrong, and asked us, "What kind of expressions do you three have?"

We were speechless, because at this moment there was a "gurgling" sound from the whole space, and the sound came from all corners of the four walls, and they listened to it in our ears and entered the bottom of our hearts, making people feel hairy and cold all over our bodies.

At this moment, Bao Cai, who saw Qian Kai's eyes, was stunned for a moment, and finally felt something, and his expression changed by 180 degrees in an instant, which was an inexplicable extreme fright.

"The new strips of cloth have just been wound up, and the smell of the entire bronze room comes from them!" said the little Taoist priest as he picked up a bronze sword from his side, he strode over to Chen Yu and Bao Cai, pushed the stunned two, and then waved the weapon in his hand to aim at the corpse cocoon that mechanized the cloth strip.

In an instant, the dark red blood stained the white cloth strips, and also sprinkled on Chen Yu's body, at this moment Baocai was completely awake, he screamed "ah", he was frightened, the little Taoist priest pulled him to the center, he staggered to the ground, and collapsed: "This ...... What is this? Mummies are alive?"

The little Taoist priest stared at the strange posture of the body, like a large group of corpses dancing in mechanical dance, and said, "Do you remember what I said to you, 'the living are dead, and the dead are alive'?"

"What?" said Bao Cai, his voice hoarse, apparently frightened.

My heart sank, and I muttered to myself: "These people are not the men of the Liu family, and there are ...... And my father-in-law's son, Wang Yu."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yu looked at me incredulously and said, "Damn, is it the same as the situation of the seven inverted buckets we encountered in modern times?"

I looked at him stunned and said, "No...... More complex...... In layman's terms, they are alive and dead...... Dead and alive!"

"What!" was the most surprised expression I've ever seen Chen Yu show.

Faced with the familiar smell, my mind was already messed up, and I secretly said in my heart: I finally encountered it.

However, to the horror of all of us, the corpse cocoon that had just been cut in the chest by the little Taoist priest revealed the rotten flesh on his body, and he moved and crawled in our direction, and the appearance was as terrifying as it was terrifying.

We retreated in despair, but one by one, the corpse cocoons fell from the bronze walls and squirmed in an eerie position, while some of the mighty ones had broken free from some of the tangled strips of cloth, revealing terrifying eyes.
