Chapter 299: Headless Bronze Statue

As we continued along the dimly lit road, we didn't know where we were, but we felt that the road under our feet was getting harder and harder.

There are even huge cracks that are more than half a meter long, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

At the moment, we don't have any lighting tools, so we have to use the old way to grope our way in the darkness like a blind man.

The fat man used his dumb rifle as a pathfinder to take the lead, constantly tapping the road in front of him.

He's a muscular man, and if he falls into a crack under his feet, he'll get stuck in it.

The weak little white face gradually woke up, and he was supported forward by the woman in yellow, obviously not remembering how he was unconscious.

I didn't tell him what happened to Uncle Nine later, which can be regarded as giving Uncle Nine a chance to be a new person.

The space under his feet grew larger and larger, and at this moment, the fat man seemed to have found something in front of him, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the team to stop.

I looked up and felt a few short, thin figures standing in the darkness in the dim light, motionless like statues, a little relief to the team that thought they were in danger.

The fat man clenched the dumb rifle in both hands, and at this time it had become a burning stick in his hands.

He was the first to approach those black figures, but when he approached, he inadvertently broke out in a cold sweat.

I saw that something was wrong with the situation, and I hurried over.

In the dim light, these bronze statues glow with a faint green sheen in the dark, and the carved lines are so simple that they can be vaguely distinguished as human figures.

It's just that the necks of these statues are smooth and empty, and they don't have heads at all.

It's no wonder that the fat man was frightened by the scene in front of him just now, even I was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Fuck, what does that mean!"

"Don't you make a man?"

The fat man couldn't help but spat lightly at the ground, and gradually came to his senses.

I looked at the patterns carved on these ancient bronze statues, which were very similar to the dozens of human faces from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

It can be seen that they should all be products of the same period, but I don't know why these bronze figures did not have heads when they were cast, which seems to have been deliberately done at the time.

I recall reading in books that the sacrificial traditions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties originated from prayers before wars between tribes.

The victorious side will cut off all the heads of the enemy as a sacrifice.

Perhaps this is also a kind of spiritual representation of the feudal dynasty's desire to control the territory of the world forever, and these cast bronze figures represent the slaves of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

At the moment, I think my analysis should be inseparable, but Uncle Nine remained silent, squinting at the headless bronze statues, as if he was recalling something.

I wanted to ask him for advice, but then I thought about it, since it didn't make much sense, why bother to guess the thinking of the ancients, and I should concentrate on finding the exit.

Behind the bronze man, there is a bronze square tripod carved with a human face, and the big tripod is simple and unpretentious, and there is an extremely terrifying human face carved in every direction on it.

In the dim light, the faces of these people seemed to be closed, which made people shudder, as if they could open them at any time.

I don't know why, but when I'm here, my heart beats so fast, and it's not just me.

Even the little white face, the woman in yellow and the fat man all expressed some discomfort, but they couldn't say why.

I said in my heart that this is not a place to stay for a long time, so I should leave quickly, I didn't think that the fat man inadvertently slapped Fang Ding when he was looking for an exit.

The thick echo resounded in everyone's ears, mixed with some strange sounds, as if something was hidden in Fang Ding.

I motioned with my eyes for the fat man to squat down on his shoulders slightly, and I stepped on his back and jumped up into the huge square ding.

For a moment, I only felt as if I had stepped on something round and rumbling on the soles of my feet, although I had already prepared to know that the head in the ding was most likely ossified.

But I didn't expect that when I touched it with my hand, I obviously felt the temperature, and this head couldn't help but be flesh and blood, and it was still alive.

I was so frightened that I suddenly folded down from Fang Ding, only to feel that something seemed to be wrapped around my leg and was taken out by the trend.

When I lowered my head and bent down to pick it up, I found that it was a dark green jade plaque, with three small characters of Wu Wenju clearly carved on it.

The fat man saw that my face was pale and hurriedly asked me what was in the ding, I handed him the jade plate in my hand, and whispered my feelings just now without thinking.

Suddenly, everyone froze in place and didn't dare to speak, only a gust of gloomy wind blew along the darkness.

The jade plaque seems to have been accidentally left in the ding by Wu Laogou, and his name is clearly engraved on it.

What could make this inverted bucket master panic, and he also abandoned the jade plate he placed close to him in the ding.

I think of the strange moment I just touched in Dingli, can it be said that Wu Wenju decades ago was just as frightened as himself just now.

"Everybody get out of here, I feel something is wrong."

As my heart raced faster in my chest, I felt more and more strange and strange here, even more terrifying than when I encountered three coffins on a high platform.

At this moment, Uncle Nine couldn't help but let out a miserable scream, as if he had been attacked by something.

The fat man and I hurriedly ran to him but didn't find anything unusual, but Uncle Nine's eyes were full of fear.

In the dim light, I finally saw what made him scream in fear.

It turned out that he didn't know when, but his whole body was covered with green patina, which spread all the way to his neck, and he looked extremely frightened in the dark.

That's when I realized that it wasn't just him, but even me and the fat man were covered with rust, and no matter how much I wiped it, it was like I had fallen under some strange curse.

"Everyone steps back little by little according to the original footprints, hurry up."

I couldn't help but yell at the woman in yellow and the little white face, thinking that there must be something weird here that has inadvertently been contaminated by everyone.

In the blurred light, we can't see if there is any unknown danger hidden in the darkness, and it seems that there is no other than the woman in yellow.

There were some rust marks on everyone's bodies, among which Uncle Nine was the most serious.

It suddenly dawned on me whether the patina on my body was related to my age, and the older I got, the more copper spots I have.

At this moment, Uncle Nine couldn't help but start to go crazy, scratching the rusty skin with his hands, almost scratching and bleeding, but still refusing to stop.

The fat man and I hurriedly reached out to stop his behavior, but we didn't expect the next second.

The steep wall in front of him, shrouded in darkness, suddenly cracked, and a lot of dust fell along with the stone particles.

There was a ghostly light shining through the gap, which couldn't help but attract everyone present.

I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, but I wanted to walk over and see what was hidden in the cracks in the rock.

Uncle Jiu, who was closest to the stone crevice, subconsciously glanced into the stone crevice, his expression changed from horror to fear and finally distorted, as if he had seen some incredible scene.

"Fine... Fine, help... Help me. ”

He began to struggle desperately, but his body was a little blurred under the ghostly light, and even about to disintegrate and dissipate.

The fat man and I were almost stunned by the scene in front of us, and we had never seen anything strange in life and death in more than ten years, but only this scene in front of us.

It seems impossible for me to forget it for the rest of my life.
