Chapter 235: A Nightmare in the Mountains
"Is the stone statue resurrected?"
I was almost scared half to death by the thought of myself, how could a stone statue that was cast 2,000 years ago have life?
Vaguely I could hear the fat man calling my name in the cave, but I couldn't care so much about it at the moment.
I was determined to look back to see what was pretending to be a ghost, and the dagger in my hand was almost soaked in cold sweat mixed with centipede blood, sticky and slippery.
The next second, I poked my head out of the broken brick floor, and the scene in front of me almost scared me half to death.
"The statue is gone."
In just a few minutes, a lifelike stone statue actually disappeared out of thin air, not to mention that this was still in the tomb of Concubine Jin more than 2,000 years ago.
In front of me, all that was left of the cramped tomb was the bare stone platform and the small seal characters engraved on it, and I suddenly realized that the string of words was the key.
Then he took out the sweat-soaked paper and pen in his pocket and tried to draw it.
This habit is a legacy of when I used to like to keep a diary, and I liked to carry pen and paper in my pocket every time I went out.
"How dare you trespass on the mausoleum?"
A hoarse voice came from behind me, followed by a cold blade around my neck, as if my head would fall to the ground at the slightest movement.
Until now, I would not believe that the stone statue in the tomb would be resurrected, but I can't forget the faint gaze just now, which is really no different from a living person.
"Hero, are you really the resurrection of the stone statue just now?"
I put down the paper and pen in my hand, and the cold sweat on my forehead slipped down instantly, because I saw that the centipede statue at the foot of the original stone statue was actually shattered a little by little under my gaze.
The scarlet armor inside the stone shell reflected a ghostly light, as if it was no different from the group of centipedes we had just encountered.
"Hero, spare your life!"
I tried to breathe a sigh and turned around slowly, the blade of the sword around my neck still hadn't left, and the dim and narrow burial chamber was inside.
I looked at this strange man who looked almost exactly like an ordinary person, but covered in dust and dressed like the battlefield of the Qin Dynasty.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say, but I felt that the word "hero" couldn't be more appropriate.
The guy in front of him looked like he had just come out of the mound, but his eyes were no different from those of us ordinary people, with the whites of his eyes and black pupils.
It's just that I see more vicissitudes and incomprehension in his eyes.
"It is a capital crime to disturb the rest of Concubine Jin, but for some reason, I don't want to kill you."
His hoarse voice echoed in my ears, and I controlled my near-collapse thoughts several times, trembling and silent.
This is simply a living man from more than 2,000 years ago, resurrected!
With that, he removed the sword from my neck and moved a very hidden mechanism next to the stone platform.
I watched him walk into the secret door, but my body was not moved at all, and I was not conscious at all.
"Ganzi, what are you doing here?"
The fat man's voice came from behind him, and I knew that he must have sensed that there was a person missing from the cave, so he followed the trajectory of the centipede cave and returned the same way.
"Whew... Call. ”
I sat on the floor gasping for air, wondering how I was going to explain what I had just seen to the fat man.
It turned out that at the end of the centipede cave was a huge natural cave, which was full of bones of dead people, and the costumes on it had not yet decayed.
It should have been left by generations of tomb robbers.
"I saw the living Qin people just now, to be precise, the stone statue is alive."
"Huh?"
The fat man looked back a little dazed, and I gradually realized that the fat man who used to talk and laugh seemed to be a different person after the trip to the mountains and the meeting of Alano.
It became a little solemn and calm, which made me a little afraid to know him.
"Well, what do you say."
In the darkness, I saw Uncle Jiu's gaze looking here, and immediately interrupted the conversation, leaving only the dazed fat man standing in place, at a loss.
After a brief exploration, we found that the cavern was much larger than we had imagined.
From time to time, I could still hear the crashing of the waves overhead, so I could tell that I was at the deepest point now.
A few of us even cocked the snail algae and seafood attached to the wall with knives and ate it raw, and I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can eat abalone in the ancient tomb except us.
After eating enough this time, a wave of fatigue hit my heart, and I remembered that several of us had hardly rested since we went down to the grave.
Isn't this a good natural place at the moment, although tomb robbing is extremely difficult and dangerous, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the combination of work and rest in order to win.
After I said that I rested on the spot, several people had no opinion, after all, the ninth uncle in the team was too old, and the American little white face was weak.
I was thinking about how a fat man could be willing to sacrifice so much because of a woman, including his own freedom.
It seemed that I gradually remembered the lullaby in my ears, and I couldn't bear the tiredness anymore and fell asleep a little bit.
This question seems to have been haunted by the dream until I fell into the dream, and vaguely I felt as if I was back in the belly of the mountain.
Who would have thought that there would be a huge bronze ancient bell hidden in the towering mountain, and that the sound of the bell would cause ominous and natural disasters.
"Fatty, where the hell have you gone?"
I stood beneath the deepest abyss in the belly of the winding mountain with a flashlight and shotgun in hand, and in front of me was the huge, smooth stone mirror.
I don't know why, but I always feel that this huge stone-polished mirror is a little special, as if it has gone through thousands of years and reflects the figure of some people.
There is such a passage in Wu Laogou's diary, "The ancients often used mirrors to dress properly, so the mirror also reflected some things that should not be seen, and they were ignored." ”
I couldn't help but reach out to touch the smooth mirror, but the tiny palm behind me secretly pressed against my shoulder.
"Who!"
I turned around and fired a shot, only to find that the bottom of the abyss was full of white-haired "snake demons" that resembled human shapes, some of whose blood was pale yellow and some had completely turned red.
"Fatty, where the hell have you gone?"
The veins on my forehead flared up, and I barely had time to reload before I picked up the old shotgun in my hand and smashed it at the snake demon flying beside me.
It wasn't until he desperately climbed the wooden ladder on the rock wall of the spiraling abyss that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a familiar figure, gradually walking out of the huge stone mirror at my feet.
At this time, the stone mirror seemed to be no longer a mirror, but a door to another world, and the fat man I knew all the more came out of that door.
"Ganzi, I shouldn't lie to you, in fact, I'm not from this world."
He spoke softly, and I don't know when the fat man I was familiar with became calm and decisive, as if he had changed someone.
"Who the hell are you, where did you get the fat man?"
I let out a rage and stood on the rotten staircase and raised my shotgun at him.
Then his eyes blinked a little dryly, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly saw that the sky was full of figures, all of whom were wearing the same clothes and figures.
When he raised his head, it was all a person's face, and they were all fat.
"Ahh
I was awakened by a nightmare, and my clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and at this moment the fat man and Uncle Nine were lying next to me.
Strangely, only the little white face was nowhere to be seen.
