232. There may be a watchman
The steps stretched down, and strangely enough, the disappeared water did not appear here, and the road that I thought might be slippery did not appear, but it was so dry that my nasal passages were a little itchy, presumably if it hadn't been opened earlier by Miye, then the smell in it would have been even greater.
"Sayoko, your dagger." Brother Neng offered a treasure and handed the dagger found on the steps to Mi Ye.
Mi Ye chuckled and took the dagger.
It's a confined space, and I don't know what it will be. I've been in for so long, and I haven't seen anything valuable.
"Are we still on the periphery? Didn't find the entrance to the tomb? I asked.
"Well, this place doesn't seem to be on the periphery, and it is estimated that it was a resting place for the slaves who built this place at that time." Feng Lingzi said.
The Wu people walked behind us with that zongzi, and I don't think they were jealous of us, but there should be some conspiracy. I exchanged glances with Feng Lingzi, and he unknowingly found a chance to fall to the end of the line.
What's more, I think Lao Hei is not simple, so he and the old witch are a little uneasy for me to be honest in the end.
At the end of the stairs there were some pits like the archaeological sites we saw on TV, and the square pits were full of white bones, and I thought to myself, this place can't be a burial pit, so who are those white bones?
Walking on the pit and looking carefully at the white bones in the pit, I realized that this was not a human skeleton, and it looked like it was a horse animal. There were eighteen such pits in front of us, and they appeared to be the remains of horses, many of which had been turned into powder, and only the larger bones remained, and the neatly arranged skulls in them indicated that they were buried here, not discarded at random. The length and width of each pit is nine meters, and there are also the bones of nine horses inside, which is definitely not a random setting, looking at the pit in front of me I can't help but think that horses are more precious in ancient times, if it is the horse of the tomb owner, it will be buried somewhere in the tomb, and it is impossible to be arranged outside the tomb. So who exactly do these horses belong to? Why is it buried here?
"There are two missing here." Jian Lin Xiu pointed to an empty seat in a corner and said.
He had already arranged for the witch guard to go down to check, and I squatted on the pit to look at the two empty positions, which were not on the side, but closer to the middle, and if it was a normal burial, it would not be possible to vacate this place.
"Lord Wuxian is right, these horses were not buried at the same time." The witch guard handed two bones to Jian Lin Xiu.
Jian Linxiu took it in his hand and looked at it, and then threw it back into the pit casually.
"It's really not from the same period, if it's not that the age of the construction of this ancient tomb is too big, then there is a race like the Spirit Sacrifice Clan here. However, the first case can be basically denied, the emperor generally began to build his own mausoleum during his lifetime, so it is unlikely that there is such an obvious sense of age, and the horses in this pit do not seem to have been placed here for decades, so it is likely that there are also people who keep spirits here. Jian Linxiu said.
I couldn't help but nodded, that weird black hand knew so much about this place, and along the way, there was no place except here that was sealed, and it was definitely not the need for the tomb to have good air circulation, and what Jian Lin Xiu said could be completely established.
I was a little nervous that if that was the case, then we were watching over every step of the way, which was very uncomfortable and very insecure.
We looked at each other, and it really wasn't good news.
"Since it's the Guardian Clan, is it possible to find their way into the tomb if you find them? After all, we've been on the periphery all the time, so the presence of these people is probably not a bad thing. I said, looking at everyone's worried faces.
"Yes, maybe they're waiting for you to break free from the shackles of fate." Jian Hanyi smiled, looked at Mi Ye and said.
I gave her a blank look, and it seemed like a mistake for me to feel about her.
Brother Neng took Mi Ye's shoulder and comforted him in a low voice.
The tragedy of the Spirit Sacrifice Clan is also a knot in my heart, I can't let this happen again, the Wu Clan definitely doesn't want to play any tricks this time.
The Witch Guard carefully searched for a way out, but unfortunately there was no mechanism or way out of it other than the entrance we entered. In that case, there is no need for us to waste time here, and the group retreated the same way.
Standing in front of the statue of the Huangquan holding the hand fish, we come in this way on such a road, so the dark place is not suitable for human survival, if it is really like the existence of the spirit tribe, then there will definitely be a sinkhole and something like this for them to survive, and we now seem to find a place with light. However, there is a black fog all around, and it seems to have a certain psychedelic effect.
"There must be another way out here." I circled around the place where there was no black fog, I didn't believe this was the end, we couldn't get out outside, there was such a big corpse under the ice bridge, there was no ice arch bridge, even if we weren't afraid of the bald chicken, we had to consider the monsters in the ice field.
Having learned from the past, we involuntarily moved away from the statue, and each group left someone behind as a backup.
Mi Ye was left behind by us, after all, she is the best choice for our team doctor, if we have a problem, only she can save us.
The rest of the people carefully investigated around the black fog, and looked at the unfinished flowers on the ground boredly, and their eyes turned around along the petals on the pattern, "Huh~ Where is the flower path?" Mi Ye remembered that the flowers on the other side that he saw in the ancient books had a flower path, and his grandfather seemed to have said that this flower path was particularly critical, so whether it was because it was not completed and there was no flower path or other reasons, Mi Ye kept looking at the patterns on the ground.
"Flower Path, Flower Path~" she muttered quietly, her eyes rolling around, looking for where Flower Path might appear.
"What are you doing?" Jian Han's clothes were arrogant, with a questioning tone.
"Flower Path." Mi Ye didn't notice her tone.
"What are you going to do?" I just happened to hear the words of Jian Hanyi.
"Just asking, Brother Liu Lin is distressed?" Jian Hanyi smiled lightly at my fuss.
"Hmph~ Xiaoye, what's wrong? What are you looking for? I looked at Mi Ye's persistent appearance and couldn't help asking.
She looked up with a smile on her face, and if she hadn't spoken, I almost thought she had fallen into an evil spirit.
"Brother, I seem to know where the road is." Mi Ye said with some excitement.
I looked at her, "Tell me about it." ”
Mi Ye sorted out his thoughts, and then pointed to the statue that had been split in half, "The road is there." ”
I looked in the direction Mi Ye was pointing, and it was from there that the sparse stream of water under the pitch-black fog came out.
Jian Lin Xiu had already walked up with two witch guards.
The black mist slowly dispersed, and a brick and stone road appeared in front of us, from which the water had indeed flowed, but now it all began to flow backwards, along the stone path that appeared.
We happily looked at the road that appeared, "Xiaoye, it's amazing, how did you do it?" I asked excitedly.
Mi Ye smiled shyly, "I just saw a similar pattern." ”
"Great, let's go."
Jian Lin Xiu and the others have already entered, maybe we can really find that person this time, then it will be much easier for us to find the entrance.
