Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Different Mounds Chapter 51 Hanging Corpses
On the other side, Ma Xiwen's four interns were surrounding the hanging corpse.
Wang Yuesheng asked Han Mingming: "Why are you still coughing suddenly?" ”
Han Mingming smiled: "I just scraped a mouthful of sand, and my throat is a little dry!" ”
Wang Yuesheng handed Han Mingming a bottle of water and said, "Drink two sips of water to moisten your throat!" ”
Han Mingming took the water, took a sip, and then asked Wang Yuesheng: "Brother Wang, do you say that this tomb of the Witch Sect Master is really like the legend, hiding the treasure of the rich and rivaling the country?" ”
Before Wang Yuesheng could speak, another intern named Zhang Jiuxi took over and said: "Since it is a legend, there must be a lot of apocryphal things in it, so it is not credible." Nine and a half of the ten legends are fake, and it's rare that the tomb of the Witch Sect Master can really be located in this forest as mentioned in the legend, so let's not expect anything else. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! ”
Liu Jinlong said: "That's not possible! As you said, part of the legend about the Witch Master is true, so I can't make sure that the other parts are also true. ”
"Okay, okay, you two don't fight. We've all come here, if it's true or not, let's go ahead and verify it, and we can always know the truth. Wang Yuesheng said.
Han Mingming touched the layer of wax wrapped around the hanging corpse and said, "Look at how smooth the surface of this wax layer is!" It's not just a random cast, it's a mold! ”
Liu Jinlong sneered: "These hanging corpses are big and small, fat and thin, tall and short, where can the mold fit them together?" This is after casting, and then leveling! ”
Zhang Jiuxi asked Han Mingming: "Obviously, you have become a lot bolder, and you dare to touch it with your hands?" Aren't you afraid that the wax layer will peel off and reveal a carrion corpse to pounce on you? Or maybe the ghost of this corpse is looking for you at night? ”
As soon as Han Mingming heard Zhang Jiuxi say this, he immediately retracted his hand in fright......
Walking along the corridor, the corpses hanging upside down on both sides felt like dead souls, floating by the wall and staring at us slowly. It was as if I felt countless pairs of eyes from the realm of death, falling on my back, making people feel creepy.
The corridor winds inward, which is not very long, but it feels very long as we walk step by step. As we passed through the corridor, no one made a sound, and after passing through the corridor, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. By this time, we had followed the corridor and entered it. If this is really a tomb, we should be standing in the former burial chamber. This is what Xu Yunshu told me and the altar.
This burial chamber is about fifty or sixty meters long and twenty or thirty meters wide, and the surrounding walls are made of large ashlar stones. The place here is not small, but from the outside, it seems that it is empty inside, not only are there no hanging corpses, oil lamps, but even the funeral goods have not been seen. This can't help but make Pu Yifan, Ma Xiwen and others suspicious. Since it is said that the treasure brought out by the witch sect master is rich and rivals, it is impossible to get here and not even see a shadow. According to common sense, even if important burial objects are not stacked in the former burial chamber, some ordinary things, such as pottery and porcelain, will be placed. And the Shangwu Sect Master has already brought most of the wealth of "Hongguang Tianyuan" here, it is impossible to pile it all up in the main tomb, the tomb is so big, but it is empty, what is the reason?
It soon became clear that it was not as empty as we had imagined. When we shine the flashlight on the innermost part of the burial chamber, we find that the sides of the burial chamber are gradually narrowing, and there seem to be several figures standing there on both sides of the wall.
The first to see these was Han Mingming, he coughed twice, his face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "The few in front of me seem to be standing ...... Looks like a human? ”
Wang Yuesheng also looked at it with a flashlight: "There won't be a hanging corpse inside, right?" ”
"Unlikely, what to do with hanging the corpse? Empty corpse oil? There are no oil lamps down there! Zhang Jiuxi said disapprovingly.
"Why are you talking so much here? Wouldn't everything be clear if you went over and looked at it? Situ Feng interjected lightly beside him.
We slowly leaned over, first using a flashlight, and found that it was really a person standing inside, and it was a weak woman in an ancient dress. Unlike the corpses in the stone statues of the underground palace before, they did not have a trace of decay, just like those child corpses. There were eight of them, four on the left and four on the left, and they stood motionless by the walls on either side. The flashlight shone on their faces, and they saw that their heads were slightly lowered, their eyes were closed, and their hair was scattered, like Sadako in the horror movie "Midnight Bell", but when they looked vaguely from their hair, they were like life, and compared with living people, their faces might be slightly paler.
"They...... Are they human beings or corpses? Han Mingming asked a little scared.
"Look at their faces, they are like blank paper, can they be living people?" Liu Jinlong said.
"That's not necessarily ......," Zhang Jiuxi said, "You can see that Mingming's face is whiter than theirs!" So, to be sure of life or death, you still have to probe your nose and feel your heartbeat! ”
"Touching the heartbeat? Isn't it, you have to take advantage of the corpse, do you still have a bottom line? Liu Jinlong stinked Zhang Jiuxi.
"If you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of the bastard!" Zhang Jiuxi said half-jokingly, "But to be honest, you take a closer look at these female corpses, this body, this waist, how can it be the figure of the devil now." ”
Liu Jinlong nodded and said, "It's been dead for so many years, why isn't it the figure of a devil?" He bit down hard.
"Obviously, seriously, why is your face so white? It can't be scary, right? Hearing Zhang Jiuxi's words, Wang Yuesheng also asked Han Mingming with concern.
Han Mingming smiled reluctantly: "It's a little scared......" As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked up the camera, clicking and taking pictures of several female corpses.
"Aren't you scared?" Zhang Jiuxi asked with a smile.
"I'm scared, but I have to do my job! Otherwise, how can you earn money to eat? It was not Han Mingming who spoke, but Liu Jinlong opened his mouth to explain for Han Mingming.
While they were joking, I put the pigeon cage I was carrying in my hand to the northeast of the burial chamber, where today's birth gate is located. Seeing the two pigeons standing quietly in the cage, I was also a little relieved.
