Chapter 21: The Devil Strikes the Wall
"Uncle, did you say that Professor Jia just said that there should be nine corpses in front of the sarcophagus? Just as I was seriously studying the mural, the mango head next to me suddenly said something. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I was stunned, turned my head to look at him, and said, "Logically speaking, it should indeed be like this." ”
Mango Tou turned the flashlight in his hand to the strongest, shone it in the middle of the tomb, and said, "I was scared just now, and I accidentally glanced at it, uncle, look around the sarcophagus, why are there only eight corpses?" ”
I was stunned again, turned my head to look at the sarcophagus, counted, and sighed in my heart, yes, it was said that it was a coffin with nine corpses, why were there only eight corpses?
I took the flashlight in Mango's hand and shone it on the sarcophagus, and was trying to see it clearly, when I was suddenly startled, and saw a person standing next to the sarcophagus on the high platform.
"Uncle, uncle, there are people there! It's still a ghost! "Mango's eyes are better than mine, and as soon as my flashlight shines through, he screams.
Seeing that the person was projected under the light of the flashlight, it shouldn't be a ghost. Since I knew that it wasn't a ghost, I was much bolder, and when I got closer, I found that the person's back was very familiar, and it was daytime. Didn't he follow Professor Jia into another ear chamber? How did you climb that high platform?
"Daytime! What are you doing? Professor Jia said not to go near the sarcophagus. I stopped a few meters from the platform and shouted to him from afar.
Bai Bai turned his head to look at us, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said: "He said that he can't touch you, so he took it seriously, Huang Shang, I think you are quite clever, don't tell me that you don't know the true identity of Professor Jia at this time." To put it bluntly, they are a gang of tomb robbers, can you still believe the words of the tomb robbers? ”
In fact, I don't need to talk about it during the day, I have already guessed the true identity of Professor Jia and his gang, but there are many dangers along the way, and I don't have time to think about why the tomb robbers can still pretend to be the archaeological team to rob the tomb, and I don't want to believe that Luo Dascar would partner with the tomb robbers to deceive me. We are just ordinary people, and we are already lucky to not die when we enter here, and now is not the time to turn our faces with Professor Jia.
I gently shook the flashlight in my hand and said, "No matter what Professor Jia's true identity is, but I think the sarcophagus in front of me is full of weirdness, and it is better not to touch it, so come down quickly, lest a zombie really come out." ”
Bai Bai snorted and said, "Since you have guessed their identities and are stupid enough to believe his words, the funeral goods in this sarcophagus must be very rich, and he deceived us, so he naturally wants to swallow it alone." ”
I was speechless for a while, if Professor Jia and his gang were really tomb robbers and needed to borrow our power to rob the tomb, they would naturally have a reason to deceive us, but my intuition told me that this sarcophagus was really evil, and I was afraid that the things inside were really not simple.
Seeing that I didn't speak during the day, I thought I was being understood by him, and said: "Huang Shang, I think it's better for the three of us to open this sarcophagus, divide the things inside, and then find a way out together, than to work for Professor Jia, not only will you not be able to share anything, but you won't even know how to die." ”
I snorted coldly, and finally knew in my heart why he followed the engineering team into the underground, it seems that he already knew the situation underground, and wanted to come in and make a fortune, I was about to say a few words to ridicule him, but suddenly I heard two "gurgling" sounds from the sarcophagus behind him during the day.
There were just three of us in this tomb, and it was very quiet, and the "gurgling" was very obvious and abrupt.
When he turned his head during the day, his face turned pale in an instant, he jumped down from the high platform, almost crawled to us, pointed to the sarcophagus on the high platform, and said tremblingly: "Open, open, the sarcophagus has opened a crack." ”
I was also scared enough, I felt a chill in my heart, my body retreated again and again, and scolded as I retreated: "Damn, what did you touch, how could the sarcophagus open by itself?" ”
Bai Bai was so frightened that he lost the momentum of asking for money and dying standing in front of the sarcophagus just now, and shook his head again and again: "I, I didn't touch anything, I was stopped by you as soon as I stood up." ”
"Giggles!"
There was another sound in the sarcophagus, louder than just now, the three of us were so frightened that we didn't even dare to retreat, we immediately stopped, and there was a white sweat, for fear that if we moved slightly, the sarcophagus would turn over, and with some previous experiences, the ghost knew what would pop out inside.
At this critical moment, I heard footsteps on the right, and it was getting closer and closer, it must be Professor Jia They went in to check the ear chamber over there, and now they came out.
Sure enough, before I got closer, I heard Luo Dascar's voice, and I only heard him scolding and scolding as he walked quickly to us: "his ancestor, Huang Shang, we found a robbery hole in the ear room over there, and the things in it were empty, it must have been emptied by those tomb robbers." ”
He didn't want to think about his identity now, he was also a tomb robber, and this scolding was not only scolded by himself, but also by us. But now that the situation is critical, I don't have time to pay attention to him, my eyes are fixed on the sarcophagus, and I dare not move.
"Yo, what are you three doing? Practicing the art of fixing the body? Luo Dascar walked up to us, saw that we didn't dare to move, and asked strangely. Then we followed our gaze and looked at the sarcophagus, and at this time, there were two more "gurgling" sounds in the sarcophagus, and the coffin lid shook violently.
Luo Dascar's face turned pale in an instant, and he turned his stiff neck to look at the sarcophagus, and then looked at me, and the look was asking me what happened, and I glanced back at him, meaning that I don't know.
"Didn't I say don't go near that sarcophagus? What did you just do? "I don't know when, Professor Jia also came out of the ear chamber over there, and he obviously heard the sound coming from inside the sarcophagus, and asked us in a low voice with a cold face.
I glanced at the daytime, and found that this kid turned his head to look at the wall like a nobody, and said nothing, this face is not as thick as an inch or two inches, and I didn't bother to expose him, and said to Professor Jia: "We didn't do anything just now, the sarcophagus moved on its own, Professor, is the thing in there going to come out?" ”
Professor Jia's face was also pale, and he quickly took out a bag of white flowers from his backpack, I looked like rice grains, just wanted to ask, he asked me and the foreigner Leddy, one person, to quickly sprinkle the rice grains in his hands around the high platform, and saw that we finished sprinkling, he said: "This is white glutinous rice, I hope it can be blocked for a while, we have to leave quickly." ”
I've heard before that white glutinous rice can cure zombies, and Professor Jia did this, didn't he mean that the thing that came out of it was really a zombie. Thinking of the zombies, I was in a cold sweat behind my back, pulled and pulled my legs trembling with fright, and walked along the wall of the tomb with Professor Jia and others, carefully bypassing the sarcophagus, and moving step by step to a passage on the opposite side.
Just as we were about to reach the entrance of the downward sloping passage, I heard a loud "gurgle" sound from the sarcophagus behind me, and everyone stopped in fright, I turned my head to look and found that the coffin board had opened a crack, and almost fell off the sarcophagus, and what made people's scalps even more numb was that a black body sat up straight.
There was a loud bang, and the lid of the sarcophagus was squeezed by the body and fell on the high platform, making a huge noise, which scared me so much that I was going to raise my legs and run, but at this moment, I heard Professor Jia whisper to everyone: "Don't make a noise, go slowly, we are lucky, there is one less corpse in the coffin of the nine corpses, and it just so happens that the things inside have found a replacement, as long as we don't attract its attention, it's fine." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I happened to see the body that had risen straight from the sarcophagus just now, slowly falling outside the sarcophagus, and walked stiffly step by step to the mutilated foot among the nine corpses in the coffin of the back of the nine corpses, and knelt down, just making up the ninth corpse. No wonder we only saw eight bodies outside the sarcophagus just now, and it turned out that the ninth body was hidden inside the sarcophagus.
It's just that this ninth corpse looks like a young man, his face is not clear, but the bones are not cold, and there is a lot of difference between the other eight dried corpses, could it be that he is a tomb robber who came down from the ear chamber, and he was unlucky to meet the things in the sarcophagus and was pulled in as a corpse servant?
I thought about these questions in my heart, but I didn't dare to stop half a step, and walked forward step by step with everyone, and I was about to enter the passage and leave this tomb, at this critical moment, I don't know who it was behind me, and suddenly let go of one, a fart.
Let's not talk about whether it stinks or not, in normal times, the volume of this fart may only be heard by the person who puts it, but in the tomb, it is so quiet that a needle can be heard when it falls, and with the echo, this volume is no less than a palm in the tomb.
Everyone was so frightened that their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths, and they didn't have time to find out who put it, I turned my head and saw that in the gloomy sarcophagus, another figure sat up, but this figure was as thin as firewood, I only had time to see its purple skin all over its body, and I heard Professor Jia shouting in front of me, the main owner came out, run.
At this time, how could there be any time to pay attention to whether there were traps in the passage in front of them, under the leadership of Professor Jia, everyone was running in the passage for a while.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect or an echo in the passage, but I think no matter how fast I run, I can hear the sound of "da-da" footsteps behind me, as if the thing is coming behind us step by step, which scares me even more to run.
I didn't expect this passage to be very long, according to the speed and time of our running, I am afraid that we have already run a few kilometers, who knows that we have not yet run to the end. Suddenly, I saw Professor Jia's fat body running in front of him stop, and everyone couldn't stop for a while, they all collided together, fell with a blue nose and swollen face, and screamed again and again.
"Professor, when this kind of death is going on, how can you say stop?" I rubbed the pain in my lower back and got up, walked over to him and asked.
Professor Jia was covered in sweat, but the strange thing was that he could smell a faint aroma, which was very good, and he didn't know what brand of soap he used, so he had to go back and ask him. He wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Something is wrong, according to the layout of the burial chamber, this leads to the main burial chamber of the back rooms, and the distance should not be so far." We haven't been there for so long, we must have fallen into a trap and didn't know it. ”
There was a "buzzing" sound in my head, trap, what trap can make us run for so long and not run to the end, is it......
"Professor, we're not going to meet a ghost hitting the wall, are we?" Mango Head asked what I was thinking.
Professor Jia's face was pale and he didn't speak, and he shook his head after a long time and said: "I don't know, there are many traps in this ancient tomb, even if it is a ghost hitting the wall, there must be a physical explanation, let's slow down this time, walk forward slowly, and carefully look around to see if we accidentally walked into the fork in the road." ”
After Professor Jia finished speaking, he took the torch and walked forward, although we were very scared in our hearts, we could only follow him step by step. Everyone walked forward cautiously for nearly thirty minutes, and suddenly Professor Jia, who was walking in front, stopped and shouted, "Oh no, we're back to where we are." ”
I stepped forward, looked at a burnt fire fold at his feet, and gasped, wasn't that what he threw on the ground before he left? I saw that he suddenly threw a fire fold on the ground, and it was strange that he was used as a landmark, so it seems that we did go around in this tombway, and walked for a long time and then returned to the original point.
"Uncle, uncle, what should we do, we really met a ghost hitting the wall." Mango Head cried.
According to some rural customs and legends, if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall and can't get out, you will not even know when it is dawn, and you will keep going around there until you are tired, starving, thirsty, or even scared to death. Could it be that we broke into this place and alarmed the thousand-year-old ghost of the King of Nanyue, who brought us in here to trap us?
"What the hell is hitting the wall, we soldiers don't believe in these things the most, Huang Shang, let's go forward, teach you to stay here, and see if you really come back from behind you." Luo Dascar roared to give himself courage.
In fact, what he said is also a way, the fire fold is a dead thing, although there is nothing wrong with putting it on the ground as a standard, but it is difficult to ensure that there is something in the passage that we can't see to move it, if you leave people here as a reference, it must be better than a dead thing.
I looked at Professor Jia, only to see that he nodded, and said, "Okay, this way, you go all the way and leave a mark on the ground, according to our steps just now, if you don't come back here in an hour, we will follow your mark to find you." ”
Now that we have decided, Luo Dascar and I took a torch and observed one side of the passage, and walked forward slowly, leaving marks along the way so that we could find the way so that they could come from behind.
I can't remember how long I've been walking in the dark, but suddenly my eyes lit up, but I didn't expect a bright light to appear in front of me, which made me and Luo Dascar happy.
