Chapter VII Monuments
"You, come here. The third uncle pointed to the young man.
The father and son of the Zhou family looked at each other, although they didn't know what they wanted to do, it was definitely not a good thing.
"I'll come, I'll come. Zhou Laohan grabbed his son.
The third uncle shook his head and said, "No, you are injured, let him come." “
Zhou Zhizhi was stunned, looked at his father, and sure enough, the corners of his father's mouth were bloodshot, it turned out that although Xiao Wu's fist did not hit Zhou Laohan directly, he was still affected by internal strength, and he was kicked twice before, and Zhou Laohan was already in good health if he didn't fall.
The boy looked at Xiao Wu hatefully, Xiao Wu laughed indifferently, it seemed that the more angry the boy was, the happier he became.
"A little injury, I'll do it. Zhou Laohan still insisted.
"No, he's coming. The third uncle said unhappily: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
The young man said angrily, "What do you want to do? We have also been brought to the road, why don't you let us go." ”
"Boy, this is a great opportunity, you don't want to miss it. The third uncle tempted.
"If it were a great chance, would you let us go?"
This kid is still young and ignorant, even if this is true, how can he say that, he is not afraid that we will be angry and kill you directly, the third uncle sneered in his heart.
Xiao Wu added coldly: "I just told you to go down and have a look, if you don't go, I'll kill your father now and kill you again." ”
The boy was even more angry, but he could only helplessly be at his mercy.
..........................
The boy grabbed the rope and descended along the cliff wall little by little, with a craggy rock wall in front of him and an endless night like a void behind him.
Soon, at the beginning of the week, he descended to the position of emitting a faint light, where there was a one-person high rock crevice, and there would be a low whining sound when the mountain wind blew, and the light in it was very weak, and ordinary people couldn't notice it at all, I really don't know how the third uncle saw it.
He looked inside, and the cave was so full of rocks that he couldn't see the source of the glimmer.
"What's the discovery?" called overhead.
The boy could not tell that it was in the muffled whining of the wind, and he could only shout upward: "There is a hole with light in it." ”
There was silence for a while, and then there was another inquiry, and this time the young man heard that it was the voice of the third uncle: "You go in and have a look." ”
At the beginning of the week, he stepped on the cliff wall extending from the rock crevice, slowly loosened the rope, grabbed a rock with one hand, and drilled into the rock crevice with one force.
In an instant, the whining of the mountain wind disappeared, and the cave was very quiet, as if it were another world.
Zhou Zhizhi felt a trace of inexplicable pressure, and at a certain moment he seemed to feel something calling in front of him, and it seemed to be roaring. He shook his head, and the feeling was gone.
There is a glimmer of light in the cave, but the terrain is very uneven, at the beginning of the week can only climb and drill forward, after turning a few corners, the hole behind him is invisible, but the cave is no longer as cramped as it was at the beginning, but the trend is gradually downward.
Slowly, the boy found that the light in front of him increased, and a horizontal passage appeared in front of him, and he walked into the passage, only to find that this was no longer a naturally formed cave, but a very regular, masonry passage, the light source came from one end of the passage, and the other end was blocked by rocks, which should have collapsed before.
At the beginning of the week, continue along the passage towards the light source. The passage was wide enough for three carriages to pass side by side, and the height was about the same, and the top and bottom including the four walls were unusually smooth and smooth.
He also noticed that the smooth walls were covered with thick, abrupt black stripes and patches, the same color as the floor, pitch black, and that the plaques on the walls were interspersed with palm prints.
At the beginning of the week, I observed these black traces, which were definitely not words, because there was no regularity, and they didn't look like murals, because they were too weird, except for some palm prints, the others couldn't see anything at all, and the color of the floor was also black and couldn't be seen.
The young man gestured, the highest mark was about one person high, looking at these dark black marks and palm prints, Zhou Zhichu suddenly understood: This is blood! Look at the floor again, where is the original color of the floor, it is clearly stained with blood.
I don't know how long the passage is in front of it, and the blood marks stretch forward, seemingly covering the entire passage.
How much blood does it take to stain the entire passage, and what's even more strange is that there is so much blood shed, but there is not a single corpse around. Looking at the passage, Zhou Zhichu was creepy, and the gentle light in front of him suddenly became extremely weird.
"Smack. ”
A hand patted from behind and suddenly on Zhou Chuchu's shoulder.
The boy turned his head suddenly, and a smirking face was directly in front of his eyes, and the boy's hair stood on end in an instant.
"Haha-" Xiao Wu pointed at the boy and laughed wildly, "I thought you weren't afraid of anything, haha-"
Zhou Zhichu stood behind Zhou Laohan, the third uncle and Xiao Wu, except for the prank Xiao Wu just now, Zhou Laohan looked at the young man with concern, but the third uncle looked around suspiciously, and seemed to have found something.
"Dad, why did you come down? ”
"Son, you haven't heard back, we're coming down, how are you?"
"I'm fine......"
"Haha, it's okay, I almost peed my pants in scare, haha-"
The young man was indeed startled just now, and there was almost no blood on his pale face, but he was not afraid of Xiao Wu, but he felt that this passage was extremely weird, and he shuddered when he thought that hundreds of people had dried up in this passage a few years ago, and he felt shuddering, something terrible must have happened here.
"Alright, Little Five. I'm afraid that this monument is not simple, and Wei Dong is only afraid that he is hiding something. The third uncle stared solemnly at the front of the passage.
"I knew Wei Dong wasn't a good guy. Xiao Wu was shocked and angry.
The third uncle didn't answer, but turned his head and asked the young man: "Boy, what did you find when you stood in a daze for a long time just now?"
Zhou Zhichu shook his head and said, "I just think this passage is very strange, these ......" pointed to the black blood marks on the wall, and continued: "These marks are very strange......
"Hmm...... These...... It's blood, something terrible must have happened thousands of years ago, but it's not about us, let's go. ”
After speaking, the third uncle took the lead in walking in the direction of the light source, and Zhou Zhichu picked up his father and followed.
Xiao Wu looked around in surprise, "My mom, how many people have to die here." ”
Several people continued to move along the passage, the young man helped the father, only to know that after he entered the rock crack just now, the three of them waited for a long time without news of him, and then came down one after another, the third uncle thought that the father was walking slowly, so he carried him forward, and only then did he catch up with the beginning of the week in the passage.
Looking at the bloodstains that kept appearing, Zhou Laohan was also shocked, this monument was so terrifying, I really don't know what happened at that time.
The black blood marks on the walls of the passage became denser and denser, and in addition, many marks like sharp blades began to appear on the wall, the more they went forward, the denser they became, and occasionally there were deep pits similar to axes and chisels, which were all analyzed by the third uncle.
"It seems that there have been some extremely tragic battles here, and they are all extremely clever warriors," the third uncle pointed to some knife marks, "Many knife marks are very similar, it should be impossible to say that one person left them, the most likely is a group of people with the same knife and axe, then it can only be a warrior using standard weapons." ”
In order to verify, the third uncle also asked Xiao Wu to try it on the wall with a steel knife, but only shallow knife marks were left, Xiao Wu was shocked, and the third uncle's face was very strange, both shocked and excited.
In a short time, several people came to the end of the passage, which was also the starting point of the light source, there was a hall, the floor was as black as ink, and the surrounding walls were covered with black blood stains and dense marks of knives and axes, the shallowest of which was a finger deep.
There was a huge door on the wall of the hall opposite the passage, and it was from this door that the light came out, and at this moment, under the door, there was a man in black standing with his back to the crowd, his body was straight, and he did not move.
