Chapter Eighty-Eight: Plank Road
88 plank road
The fat man and I changed color at the same time, and both of our eyes looked towards the darkness on the side, but nothing could be seen in the dark. www.biquge.info The fat man took out a slender coffin board from the flames, and the jumping flames reflected his face red.
Then he threw a big sausage directly to me, this thing was cheap outside, and it was bought by picking a big one, and the fat man said that this thing was delicious and fragrant. In fact, I know that this is the product of World War II, the American and Japanese armies are all canned lunch, with inferior flour and pig blood and cow blood, plus dyes and spices to manufacture, the Chinese at that time also particularly like to eat luncheon meat, in fact, there is no actual nutritional value, only the fragrance.
It is heavy in the hand, and a layer of oil shine circulates on it, not to mention a small half catty. I opened my mouth and took a big bite, my mouth full of oil, and my lips and teeth were fragrant. Turning his head to look at the fat man's side again, this guy is already like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and the cool thesaurus will go down to the next half.
We both held our torches and ate as we approached the dark place where there was a loud noise. Now the most worried is Yaozi, and everything is silent here, it is not easy to make this noise, at least the hope of finding Yaozi is rekindled.
The terrain here is on the lower side, the feet are soft fine sand, it is extremely comfortable to step on it, and the two sides are still natural caves, and from time to time there are dark deep caves into the eyes, and it seems that there will be a big snake out of the dark at any time. A cold and damp breath enveloped it, making people feel a little depressed.
The outline had begun to emerge in the darkness ahead, and there was a cloud of darkness above the stone wall, mixed with this little bit of green ghost fire. It seems that when I arrived at the hanging coffin that the fat man said, I looked up, and everywhere I looked, all the black shadows of this coffin were filled, and it was estimated that there were no less than hundreds of coffins.
Why are there so many hanging coffins here, and does it have anything to do with the previous altar? I had such a question in my heart, but even if I did, no one could answer it for me.
Slowly approaching the end, sporadic coffin boards have begun to appear around, all rotten and moldy.
"Master Xiao, look!" The fat man's eyes were sharper than mine, and he spotted something at once. I followed his finger and saw a treacherous plank road appear on the opposite stone wall, although it looked dangerous, but at least it could be used for people to go up and down, using a zigzag circular arrangement.
"The caves and rivers in this place seem to be natural, but the hanging coffins and plank roads in this place are obviously man-made traces, and I don't know how many years the product is, and whether it can be trampled on. Don't wait a while, I'll go up and be fine, fat man, you will collapse like an earthquake. As I spoke, I glanced up and down at the fat man's figure.
"The fat man is as light as a swallow, don't talk too much." After saying that, he jumped onto the plank road in one step, and at this moment there was an insignificant sound from under his feet, as if the plank road had reached the limit of the load and made a moan.
I was about to make a joke about it when there was a loud bang overhead, and it seemed as if a huge creature was flying overhead, and ash and sawdust fell. I hurriedly stepped on the plank road, clinging to the stone wall, this time is not a joke, if a coffin falls from above, the devil knows what the height of the top is, if it hits, it can smash all the bones of the person.
The fat man raised his hand, took something from my head and put it under his nose and sniffed it. It's a white, shell-like thing that's naturally curved and slightly shiny. "What's that?" As soon as I finished asking, the fat man put this thing directly under my nose, and a violent fishy smell suddenly rushed into my nasal cavity, making the sausage that I was still chewing in my mouth almost spit out.
"Scales?"
The fat man nodded solemnly. "Looking at the size of this scale, I think this thing on it is not small, it is estimated to be a white snake or something. In the legend, the white snake does not exist, only those who grow up eating human corpses underground all the year round, do not see sunlight all year round and are accompanied by yin qi can fade their flower color, and finally become pure white. ”
After the fat man finished speaking, I suddenly noticed that the air around me became even colder. "What then? We didn't come out this time to deal with the big beasts, it's a dead word to go up. ”
"It's all here, is there any room to turn back?" The fat man finished speaking. He raised his hand and pointed upward. I saw something blood-red, and even a broken bone. The broken bone is a small long snake, I have seen it before, it is in the hand of the zombie in the sleeve, and the blood must be needless to say that it should also be left by Yaozi.
Gritted teeth, heart. "It's not a big deal, Xiao Ye can not care about anything in his life, it just lies in the word experience. Fat man, let's go together. I shouted to the fat man, and then took the lead in walking upward, not only keeping an eye on the falling objects above at any time, but also always being careful about whether the plank road under my feet was rotten and damaged.
There were hanging coffins from front to back, and recently, I saw the bones inside, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt that my hairs stood on end. There were deep scratches on the coffin board, which looked like they were scratched raw with their fingernails, and some of the coffins had exposed the corpses inside.
The corpse was full of gray hair, and instead of being completely reduced to white bones, it had a layer of jet-black skin attached to the skeleton, which looked extremely hideous. And the corpse's mouth was wide open, as if it was crying for help, and after death, its teeth became longer, like the fangs of a beast of prey. A corpse had even been clamped out of the crack in the coffin, but only a head was sticking out of the coffin board, looking at us on the plank road in horror, and one hand raised high as if shouting for help!
"Fat man, how did these corpses die?" I asked the fat man behind me. When my feet landed on the boardwalk, and he had already taken four or five steps, he still didn't answer. I suddenly turned around and found that there was nothing behind me.
The fat man didn't know where he was going, he looked left and right with a torch, and the coffin on the left side was trembling rapidly, like the kind of large machine that was about to start and was about to explode.
"Fat man?" I cautiously shouted, but there was no response. There was a thud, and the coffin exploded, and a shriveled corpse sat up from inside, still holding half a slice of oily sausage in his hand.
I was taken aback by this sudden scene, and my heart was already beginning to retreat. A faint voice came from the front, and the source was actually from the coffin under the dried corpse. "Xiao Ye...... Xiao Ye...... Come and see. ”
I took bold steps and slowly approached the coffin. I don't know how many years this coffin has been, and the jet-black paint on it has almost fallen off, but it can still be distinguished from the shape of a coffin. When I got closer, I slowly stretched my head out and looked inside, and it was so dark that it was hard to see anything. (To be continued.) )
