DAY 112 Aftermath
However, the setting of this mechanism itself is probably to prevent tomb robbery, which is also understandable...... If we hadn't been going to get our hands on this cemetery in the first place, there would have been no need to come here and be afraid of this danger.
But that being said, my brother and I almost died because of this mechanism, and we still can't easily accept it, either physically or psychologically.
So to vent my anger, I put two middle fingers up at the blocked exit behind me. Suddenly, the depressed mood was much better.
"Sister, let's go, the way back has been blocked, I think we have no choice...... There must be a way back to the ground, right? Otherwise, the air would not have been able to circulate like it does now. The younger brother took a few deep breaths and got up from the ground, and analyzed me in an expert posture as he swept around with his flashlight, "But since we can find such a secret path, there will generally be something very valuable in it." We're basically halfway there. ”
"And there don't seem to be any of those strange creatures on the ceiling here. We don't have to 'turn off' the lights regularly. I stared at the ceiling for a long time before I said with absolute rejoicing.
"Really?!" The younger brother immediately threw the light of the flashlight on the top of his head. Sure enough, nothing.
I felt the silent excitement of my brother next to me, and I couldn't help but smile.
It's a small, exquisitely manicured walkway, in stark contrast to the walkway that has almost no decoration outside. Even the unknown stone walls around him are carved with very exquisite relief drawings, which are warm and stunning.
"It wasn't until I entered here that I had a little bit of a real feeling that this was the tomb of the royal family and nobles." The younger brother touched the relief beside him and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Sister, you say, why are our ancestors so powerful!" Although I don't know what era this King Jing died in, but in ancient times, no matter which period he could make this kind of work, it was so good! Look at such a long wall, this relief has been full of cloth on the wall has not been broken, and there is no duplicate, how long do you think it took them to carve? All of them are like opening a golden finger, imagine that it is really against the sky. ”
I shook my head, "You forgot what I said earlier. Is it possible that this was also added by someone who came in later?' ”
The younger brother pouted unhappily: "Can't you let me flood with pride in being such a strange person for the ancestors of our descendants of Yan and Huang for a while?" One sentence breaks everything. ”
"Didn't you say that this is the ancestor of Xiaomo's family. You're proud of your ass. I continued to suppress it mercilessly, and then pointed to the path of the black hole in front of me, "Hurry up, we've left too many traces outside." In case Uncle they come back. We will definitely be the first to notice our presence. So now it's best to hurry up. How far can you go. lest they get caught. ”
The younger brother nodded, pointing the flashlight in his hand to the road.
In fact, since entering this path, there are special torches set up on the walls on both sides of the road for lighting. It's a pity that the lighter in our bag can't be taken out of the antibacterial suit and used. There was no spark to light these torches, so we had to continue with flashlights.
After a short walk, we reached the end of the walkway. Outside is a large place similar to the water curtain cave, a very open cave space, the ceiling is full of upside-down stalactites of various colors, still dripping water little by little, and the bottom is also a variety of corresponding raised stalagmites, forming a beautiful and dazzling indoor space.
In the middle of the stalagmite surround, there is a black cuboid that is quietly placed on the flat ground that has been deliberately cleared.
I was shocked - could this be the coffin of the King of Jing?! So suddenly, are we going to face a real corpse that has been stored for hundreds of years?! ……
…… But shouldn't this kind of thing be placed in the very center of the cemetery? I don't think the short walk we've just walked is enough to get us to the heart of this large cemetery. After all, according to my brother's introduction and my visual inspection on the ground, this cemetery is really the kind that is too big......
"This is probably not King Jing's coffin." As if he had guessed what I was thinking, my brother turned his head to me and said, "I guess it might be the coffin of the lady who accompanied me or the maid or something." ”
"But is it necessary for the maid to clear out such a hidden space for her to be buried alone?" I shook my head, "This person must have a special identity. ”
The younger brother thought about it and felt that it made sense, and directly stepped forward a few steps to walk through the stalactites to the side of the coffin: "Let's just take a look, maybe the coffin lid will have TA's identity written on it?" ”
I was so frightened that I hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't act rashly!! Maybe there are some traps here, after all, this person is hiding here, and he definitely doesn't want anyone to disturb him! There must be something set up there, it's too dangerous for you to walk over like this!! ”
My brother was taken aback by my sudden movement: "...... So how do we get there? We can't fly again, and the way back is blocked again. I don't think there's any other option for us than to venture over......"
I was stunned and hesitated for a few moments before slowly letting go of my hand uneasily: "...... Well, let's be careful. If something is wrong, retreat quickly. ”
My brother nodded and reassured me, "I'll be careful, we'll be fine." You see, we've all died almost once just now, and we're sure we'll be able to turn evil into good here. ”
I didn't reply, I took his hand tightly and walked slowly behind him towards the coffin in the middle of the cave. The uneasy mood is self-evident.
My younger brother naturally felt my emotions, and comforted me in a soft voice as he walked: "It's okay, we'll be able to go to the coffin soon, you see it's not too far away, right?" ”
I nodded a little tremblingly, but bit my lower lip and didn't speak. In fact, at the moment, I was not only afraid of encountering a trap, but I was about to come face to face with a real corpse, and keeping that close distance was the most physically resistant to me.
And while I was still at war with all kinds of thoughts in my heart, a mutation happened. )
