Chapter 4: The sarcophagus
He led me through the thick snow through the old forest, and at dawn we came to a canyon, with sharp cliffs on both sides, and a frozen lake under my feet, and he led me up along the cliffs, and the cold frost and cold mist hit my face, and it hurt.
Suddenly it was dark before my eyes, and I fell to the ground, and when I opened my eyes, there was only a small faint oil lamp in front of me...... The man's voice echoed in his ears: "Wake up the man lying in the sarcophagus, I will come back to you." ”
"Sarcophagus...... The sarcophagus ...... "I muttered to myself, as if I could remember his words by reading them all the time...... There was no exit in the dark cave, I held an oil lamp and looked around, the cave was very wide, the uneven ground was straight to the feet, and the hard lines of the cave wall were like layers of stiff joints, giving people a strange sense of fear...... I couldn't help but slow down, there were a few weak thorns growing in the corner, the roof of the cave was very high, and a few cyan stone pillars stood between the roof of the cave and the earth, and I could not see anything else, and gradually I began to grow bolder, and my steps were bigger, but I was planted at the first step...... My toes hit something very hard, and as soon as I let go of my hands, the oil lamp fell to the ground, and I lowered my head to cover my feet, but my head hit something hard...... The oil lamp went out, and the cave was dark, and I couldn't see anything...... The hard thing was like an iron wall nailed to the ground, knocking me all over the place, but it didn't even make a sound...... I was dizzy, my hands groping for the iron wall, that
The "iron wall" seems to be half a person high, uneven, and has a strong medicinal smell......
The inside of the "wall" seemed to be empty, and I groped in the dark...... Suddenly, the water-soft silk burst into my palm, and I immediately withdrew my hand, instinctively stepped back, stepped on a round thing on the sole of my foot, and fell again...... I reached out and scratched at it, and found the culprit who tripped over me, which turned out to be the oil lamp...... The lamp oil is gone, there is no fire, the unknown is hidden in the darkness, and fear is imagined in the mind...... The unknown is the source of fear!
I gripped the oil lamp, thinking it was still on, and cautiously pointed it towards it
"Wall" close to ......
"Is there anyone in the wall?" I held the oil lamp in one hand, and the other hand clenched into a fist and groped forward carefully, I did not dare to spread my palm because I was afraid......
"Are you asleep?" I asked again, and by this time, my toes were already on the wall
...... on the "wall" I slowly lowered my hand and groped my way down, and at this moment, suddenly something hit my head from the bottom up, I lost my balance and fell to the ground, and before I could react, something pounced on me, and he bit my neck fiercely, as if to bite off the flesh on my neck...... I smashed the oil lamp in my hand at him, and I don't know where it was...... With my other hand, I scratched at all the empty silks...... I couldn't get away, my heart shrunk in fear, almost suffocating...... At this time, a little softness covered my lips, a faint red light, a flame-like red light flashed under my eyes, and I saw a pair of eyes, like a bright moon...... Suddenly, the power that pressed on me was gone, the red light was gone, and the cave was dark again, a deathly silence......
