60. Burial pits and headhunting columns
"How can there be water? It doesn't make sense, right? I said.
"But it's really the sound of water dripping, as if it's still a pool." Brother Neng said.
"Could it be that it has fallen into disrepair and been flooded?" I said.
"Let's take a look first." Brother Neng said.
The three of us walked along the grave road.
Then in the tomb we smelled a very faint smell of blood.
"How can there be a smell of blood here?" Mi Ye said.
"Why didn't I smell it?" I said.
The sound of water in front is getting louder and louder, and there is really water. A large pit of about nine square meters appeared on each side of the cemetery in front of us. There is a deep amount of water in the pit. The most creepy thing is the white bones in the pit. And most of them are skulls. The water was like blood, and the two eye sockets looked at us hollowly, very gloomy.
"What is this? It won't be a burial pit. Brother Neng asked, looking at the skeleton in the puddle.
"I guess so. But why soak them in water? And why is the water here still so red after all this time? I said.
"Brother, look there." Mi Ye pointed to a skeleton in the burial pit.
"Lich corpses?!" I said as I looked at the monster who was fighting me outside in a life-and-death duel.
"I don't know, but it looks like he's not quite transformed into a lich corpse yet." Mi Ye said.
I looked closely, and it seemed that the red flesh on his body was not as thick as the one we had seen in the sinkhole, but a thin layer on the white bones, which looked more like pink.
"This can't be the lair of the Lich Corpse, right?" Brother Neng said suddenly.
"Brother Neng, being made this kind of joke, the last time I met the lich corpse, I almost lost my life." I hurriedly said.
"That's what I said, I don't want to meet that mourning star, phew~" Brother Neng said.
"Last time it proved to have spared you? Didn't Sayo say that he couldn't be killed? Brother Neng thought for a while and asked.
"I didn't kill him, we fought to the end and we were both defeated, and then it was almost dawn, he ran away, I didn't win at all, and I almost gave up my life." I said a little unwillingly. Last time, the monster and I managed to get back to the field because the knife got better, but it escaped because it was dawn, and maybe I would have won.
"But if I meet him this time, I'll definitely win." I said, looking at the short knife in my hand that had been restored to its original shape.
Brother Neng smiled and said, "I believe in you." ”
"Brother, this water is actually clear." Mi Ye said in front of me with a handful of water from the burial pit.
I looked at the water in her hand, thought of the white bones inside, and had goosebumps, and said embarrassedly: "Xiaoye, aren't you afraid of so many white bones in it?" ”
Mi Ye smiled slyly, sprinkled water in front of me, and said, "Brother, how many years have they all been dead, what is there to be afraid of, brother, you are a coward." ”
Brother Neng and I both laughed, I haven't seen such a happy Miye for a long time.
"Your brother is a coward. Hahaha~" Brother Neng said with a smile.
"Brother Neng, you're not afraid, you go and pick it up." I said with a smile.
In this weird scene, the three of us had no heart to joke.
Woo~
The little gluttonous in Miye's backpack seemed to have woken up and screamed in the backpack.
"This guy has slept long enough." Brother Neng said.
"Mi Ye let out the little gluttony in the backpack, there are no winter clothes here, he must have learned to be obedient." I said.
Mi Ye nodded and took Xiao Yu out of his bag. This little guy hasn't died in his backpack for so long, no wonder it's a strange beast.
Xiao Yu was a little scared at first when he saw Mi Ye, but in the end he leaned in affectionately and circled around Mi Ye happily.
"Okay, I think the lich corpse we saw in the sinkhole before should have something to do with it, we need to be careful next, don't be left alone, that monster is difficult to deal with alone. In addition, since we have not yet formed this in the burial pit, then I think we might as well destroy it, and save trouble at that time. I said.
"There's no need for that, he doesn't get in our way. What a effort to put into it. Brother Neng said.
"That's right, brother, we don't have many bullets, so let's hurry into the coffin while it's not yet formed." Mi Ye said.
"But if it grows all at once, we'll have one more opponent." I said without giving up.
"Let's talk about it then, Uncle Mi is still waiting for us. And he was in the middle of the burial pit, and he didn't know how deep it was, and he couldn't reach it at all, so did you want to go into this bloody water? Brother Neng said.
After listening to Brother Neng's words, it does make sense, anyway, I can't get over it now, so forget it.
Let's move on.
Two more strange stone pillars appeared on either side of the tomb. The bronze serpent coiled around the top of the pillar, staring at the tomb. On either side of the pillar, all sorts of fleshless bones or skulls, or skeletons with the upper half of their lives attached to them, filled the holes around the pillar.
"This is also a burial pit? Why are they all bones with separate heads or two parts of the body? Brother Neng looked at the pit of white bones under the stone pillar and said.
"This is not a burial person, it should be a sacrifice." Mi Ye said.
"The man sacrificed?" I said in amazement as I looked at everything in front of me.
"Well, the headhunter pillar on this pillar is specially used to sacrifice the living during sacrifices. In ancient times, it was a major event in the tribe to show sincerity to the gods. Mi Ye said flatly.
"And who are these people who are sacrificed to the so-called gods?" I asked.
"It could be a boy or girl from the clan, or it could be a slave from outside. The biggest possible thing is that the slaves that appear here. Mi Ye said.
After speaking, Mi Ye walked forward.
"It's really a slave society, a feudal society. We are glad that we are living in the glory of socialism. Brother Neng said.
"With so many bones, how many people were sacrificed. Could it be that the 100,000 people in the legend of the Tomb Sacrifice died here? I said with a frown.
"Xiaolinzi, if there are 100,000 people, it should be filled in the sinkhole outside, there is not so much to fit here. But then again, there must be a lot of treasures in this mausoleum built by so many slaves. Brother Neng quickly diverted the topic and said.
I nodded, and pulled my thoughts away from this burial pit and headhunting column.
"There are two roads in front of you, one with the sky written on it, and the other with the earth carved below, which way are we going, brother?" Mi Ye walked back from the front and said.
"What? Two roads? With that, Brother Neng and I walked towards the front.
This ghost tomb is really unique, and there will be two roads after the burial pit in the cemetery.
