Chapter 177: A Dead Body with Breath
As soon as this thought came to my mind, suddenly, my face hurt, and the ancestor slapped me unceremoniously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The ancestor's kung fu was already high, and this slap was thrown down. I was trembling and my face was swollen.
I covered my face and said aggrievedly: Master, why are you beating me?
Old Ancestor said in a cold voice: Outside the cave just now, what did I warn you?!
Old Ancestor's tone was very harsh, and I could clearly hear that he was angry.
It dawned on me that I heard the horn of an old-fashioned bus just now, and that was when I remembered when I was a child, but when I thought about it, it wasn't right, it wasn't something I took the initiative to think about, this thought went directly into my brain.
I didn't think about it anymore, but the ancestor still pulled me and didn't let go at all. Straight into the depths of the cave.
When I entered the cave, the ancestor turned off the flashlight, as if he deliberately did not let me see the scene inside the cave.
When I walked about ten meters deep, a little bright light appeared on the top of the cave, and I thought it was a diamond or some kind of ore at first, but when I got closer, I saw that it was just ice crystals on the cave wall.
I had walked some distance further, and my eyes were basically useless because I had been walking in the darkness. You can only hear with your ears and smell with your nose.
Suddenly, there was another sound of rope swinging in my ears, and this sound was also familiar to me, it was a big rope jumping.
When I was in elementary school, we were always in line, jumping in one after the other, and I was shocked at the moment. I know I'm going to be misled again.
Without waiting for the ancestor to speak, I directly slapped myself, and this slap was loud, which can be said to have played my demeanor and temperament, and almost stunned myself.
Old Ancestor said: Yes, you can restrain yourself at a critical moment, and I am not wrong about you.
Ancestor should have known that I was almost hallucinating just now, but at this moment, Ancestor turned on the flashlight and shone it directly in front of the cave. There is no way to enter the cave here, and when you look down, it is a big pit.
The pit was bottomless, and when the flashlight shone into it, it was pitch black, and I didn't know what was in the pit. Dig a pit in a cave, a pit in a pit!
"I'll put you down with a rope in a moment, after you go down. If you see a lotus flower carved out of stone, drip the blood on it, understand? Old Ancestor whispered to me.
"A lotus flower carved out of stone?" I muttered.
The ancestor snorted, and said: "I don't know how big this lotus is, it may be as big as a grinding plate, it may be as small as a palm, it depends on how you look for it after you go down."
Without waiting for me to speak, the ancestor said again: By the way, after going down, no matter who you see or what you see, don't be curious, don't touch things that have nothing to do with you, and finally you have to remember that I won't go down, no matter how many ancestors you see, it's not me!
"Damn, you're not going down?" I was shaking and almost running back, doesn't this show that the cheater?
I was brought to this place, and he didn't go down at the moment of war, so I was a little panicked when I went to the battlefield by myself. He healed the blood.
"If I go down, the fire lotus will not bloom, only you can go down and try it yourself, rest assured, you will not die here." After saying that, the ancestor tied the climbing rope around my waist.
I know that the ancestor has been waiting for this moment, he has been waiting for a hundred years, if he could ignite the fire lotus, maybe he would have gone down a long time ago, and he would not have waited until now.
"Well, I'll try!"
The ancestor slowly lowered me from the hole and handed me a flashlight, saying, "Remember, no matter who you see, it's all fake!"
Once I was down into the depths of the cave, I turned on my flashlight and looked around. As soon as I strafed around like this, I squatted down on the ground, and my breathing began to be short.
At the bottom of this pit, dozens of corpses are placed horizontally and vertically!
Most of those corpses had kind faces and serene expressions, and they should not have been tortured too much when they died, and I looked closely, among these corpses, there were old people, children, men and women, and their corpses had one thing in common, that is, they were not decomposed.
Seriously, at the bottom of this dark pit, I really can't bear to see so many corpses, especially those that have not yet decomposed, judging from the clothes on their bodies, these dead people have everything from the end of the Qing Dynasty to more than ten years ago.
I closed my eyes, shook my head, and automatically shielded off the corpses, after all, I didn't come down to see the scenery.
Raising a flashlight, I carefully strafed around again, and in the pile of corpses, I saw a stone platform more than half a meter high.
Near the stone platform, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on their stomachs, one on top of the other, completely blocking the outside of the corpses.
On the stone platform, there are flower bones carved out of stone, the size is comparable to a basketball, this thing should be the fire lotus that the ancestor said, but it has not bloomed!
And the old lama said that the fire lotus blooms, could it be that I let the blood drip on it, and this lotus bone carved out of stone will bloom petals?
I've heard of iron trees blooming, but I've never heard of stone blossoms!
At that moment, I walked towards the stone platform, and when I reached the periphery of the stone platform, I wanted to step on these corpses, but after thinking about it, it was not very moral to do so, although people are dead, but they also have dignity and personality, and they cannot be trampled on so casually.
I took one of the outermost infant corpses aside and pulled the corpses of the remaining men aside.
The moment I pulled the corpse, I just touched the palm of a female corpse, and suddenly I screamed and jumped back directly!
This female corpse is alive!
I held a flashlight and shone it on the face of the female corpse, only to see that her face was blue and her lips were black, I don't know if she was poisoned or frozen like this.
But her hands are obviously warm!
Her body isn't hard either!
There was a throbbing beat in my heart, and I swallowed and spat, walked over to the female corpse again, and reached out and touched her palm, which was indeed hot and soft.
I felt her pulse again and was 100% sure it was still beating!
"Won't it?" I stared at the dozens of corpses at the bottom of the pit, wondering if these were dead or alive?
"Eldest sister, are you dead or alive?" I pushed the female corpse's shoulder, looking at the decorations and hairstyle on her body, like someone from the 80s of the last century.
The female corpse was silent, her eyes still closed, and her face was pale.
I pushed her again and said: Sister, our well water does not interfere with river water, if you are a living person and still have a breath, you can tell me a word, I will definitely help where I can help you, and if I can't help, there is no way.
She still didn't speak, which made me stunned.
To be on the safe side, I deliberately let these corpses touch them one by one, and found that all the corpses had a temperature, a heartbeat, a pulse, and some even breathing!
However, they closed their eyes tightly and remained silent, as if they were asleep.
I made a gesture, thinking that I could not delay any longer, so let's hurry up, I jumped on the stone platform, pulled out the dagger, and before I could draw on my fingers, the dagger began to swallow the cold light non-stop!
"Who!" I turned my head and snorted coldly.
In the darkness, no sound could be heard.
Just as I was about to cut my finger and drip blood on the stone flower, a sentence came from behind me: Apprentice, don't do it yet!
When I saw it, it was the ancestor.
"Ancestor, why are you here?" When I asked this sentence, I was actually still wary in my heart, the ancestor said that he would not come down, and anyone I saw was fake!
The ancestor said: I didn't worry about you up there, so I came down to take a look, and sure enough, fortunately, I came down before you lit the fire lotus.
I squinted and asked, "Am I in any danger?"
In the dark, I didn't turn on the flashlight, and I couldn't see clearly what the expression of the ancestor opposite me was, but listening to the tone, it was exactly the same as the ancestor I knew, he said: These corpses are all dying to ignite the fire lotus, they are extremely resentful, if you don't save them first, they will attack them and kill them at the bottom of the pit!
"So what should I do?" I decided to deal with this fake ancestor.
The ancestor said: Don't drip your blood in the fire lotus yet, you now drop your blood on the head of each corpse, so that you will be safe.
