Chapter 19 is empty
The black jacket held the lid of the sarcophagus motionlessly, his expression was full of consternation, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were staring closely at the inside of the sarcophagus.
"Empty, huh?" I struggled to stand my ground in the wind, and then looked at the black jacket with a solemn face.
The black jacket turned his head to look at me mechanically, his expression very complicated, "Yes, you guessed it. ”
"Let's go down and have a look!" I braved the wind and came up to the black jacket and hugged the sarcophagus lid with him.
"The situation inside should be more dangerous, be careful." The black jacket was a little uneasy, and looked at me sincerely.
I nodded, took the rope out of my backpack, tied it to the lid of the sarcophagus, and climbed onto the sarcophagus.
"You stay here, and if there's a situation, I'll fire a flare to let you know." I looked at the black jacket in a firm tone, and then I was about to go down the rope, but at this time, Ma Xu suddenly rushed up and grabbed my hand.
"Little brother, I'll go with you, and I'll take care of you when I go down!" Ma Xu rarely had some righteousness, and my heart suddenly warmed.
I thought for a moment, looked up at Zhao Zhiqiang, who was drowsy, he was already injured, and the black jacket who was holding the sarcophagus, and then nodded and agreed.
Rather than letting Ma Xu hold the sarcophagus, I'd rather him go down with me.
Seeing that I agreed, Ma Xu immediately grinned excitedly, and then said shyly: "Little brother, don't worry, wait down, you will definitely think that taking me down is a correct choice, I tell you, there must be a lot of organs below, bring me right......" Ma Xu babbled endlessly, I just thought it was the wind in my ears.
I was below, Ma Xu was above, and we slid down the rope little by little towards the bottom of the sarcophagus.
The further down you go, the colder the air becomes, but the wind gets lighter and lighter.
"Little brother, where did you say such a strong wind outside came from?" Ma Xu asked me breathlessly as he slid down with me.
I twisted my eyebrows, a hint of thought crossed my eyes, and said lightly, "I think this should be a less common mechanism." ”
"Organs? I've seen so many mechanisms, and I've studied them so deeply, I've never seen them before. Ma Xu was taken aback, he went down so many tombs, this kind of mechanism was really unheard of.
"It's not so much a mechanism as a design, it's very empty underneath, and the more you go up, the smaller the space, so that a tuyere is formed in the position of the sarcophagus, and as soon as we touch the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus will be lifted immediately, and then the wind will blow out of the sarcophagus." I swiped and explained.
As soon as my words fell, both feet hit the ground in an instant, and we landed successfully!
"Here we are." I let go of the rope and gave Ma Xu a position.
Ma Xu also joined me, landed on both feet, and then released the rope.
Ma Xu patted the dust on his hands, then looked around, only to see that it was dark everywhere, and couldn't help but scold: "What the hell is this place down here, so dark." ”
"Shhhh Don't be silent. I immediately stopped Ma Xu and asked him not to make a sound, and Ma Xu was obedient and didn't talk anymore.
I slowly took out the bone lamp from my arms, and then first illuminated Ma Xu's face, Ma Xu couldn't help but reach out to block his face, and then, I removed the light of the bone lamp from Ma Xu's face and slowly turned around.
"......" When I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but blurt out a dirty word.
Hearing me say this, Ma Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little brother, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen you so calm." Ma Xu was giggling at me, but when he turned his head, the scene brought the circus laughter to an abrupt end.
Where the bone lamp shined, the bones of the white man were glowing with a pale blue light, and the skulls were neatly placed on the ground, each skeleton was holding two large holes in the black hole, and two rows of white teeth.
"......" Ma Xu's sigh is the same as mine.
At this point, I had regained my composure, I looked around, and my tone was indifferent: "It looks like a burial pit." ”
My words suddenly made Ma Xu's scalp tingle for a while, he shrank his shoulders and looked around in fear, "Damn, it's so unlucky, I thought there was a good treasure down here, but it turned out that there was nothing but the dead and fucking nothing!" Ma Xu said as tears flowed down his eyes, like a wronged child.
"What are you afraid of, isn't there a rope? If you're afraid, you can go back. "I gave Ma Xu a blank look, this guy is a little too unproductive, right? Keep saying to protect me, I think he is coming for the baby, just now he can say that he leaked his mouth.
When I said this, Ma Xu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Little brother, this is what you said, then, then I'll go back." Ma Xu wiped his tears and reached out to grab the rope without a hint.
I ignored Ma Xu, and walked towards the pile of skeletons, holding the bone lamp in my hand, as if those skeletons were not skeletons, just stones. Actually, I'm afraid of death, since I was a child, I really haven't seen so many dead bones, but the appearance has been pretended, even if I'm afraid, I have to endure it!
Ma Xu originally wanted to climb back along the rope, but when he saw me walking forward without fear, he thought about it and turned back and came to me.
"Why don't you go back?" I didn't even look at Ma Xu, and I used the bone lamp to shine on those skeletons.
Ma Xu was resigned, "If I go back now, Brother Pang will definitely kill me, maybe he won't take me with him next time he goes to the tomb." ”
"You're a little self-aware." I sneered, in fact, I had long expected that Ma Xu would not dare to go back, after all, the person guarding above was a black jacket, and in a word, Ma Xu's urine could be scared out, which was much more terrifying than this skeleton!
Although he was back, Ma Xu still looked scared, grabbed my arm, and said cheaply: "There is a little brother here, I am not afraid, little brother, you must protect me, if there is a baby, we will divide it equally!" ”
"Let's get out alive first." I said disapprehantly, and then walked forward, Ma Xu didn't dare to follow behind me hesitantly, for fear that I would dump him.
"Little brother, I've never seen skeletons placed so neatly, what kind of pervert is this." Ma Xu dodged these skeletons as he walked, for fear that he would step on them if his eyes were not enough.
I twisted my eyebrows, and vaguely felt a strange smell in the air, normally this place was so empty, because there was no strange smell, but I quickly dispelled this doubt, after all, this is a burial pit, probably because of the smell of these skeletons.
"This is a burial pit, it is an ancient burial custom, so it is placed so neatly, these people are probably the small wives and concubines of the tomb owner or his descendants." I explained as I walked.
"Hehe, it's really magnificent, if you die, you don't count, you have to pull someone to accompany you to the funeral." Ma Xu was shallow and scolding, coming to this place was the decision he regretted the most in his life.
"If you have money, you can also bring people to accompany you to the funeral in ancient times." I smiled and quipped.
"Then I will definitely pull Zhao Zhiqiang......" Ma Xu rolled his eyes and said shyly, probably still fantasizing about becoming a rich man in his mind, but at this time, there was a sudden clicking sound under Ma Xu's feet, and Ma Xu's walking movement froze suddenly.
I stopped and looked back, Ma Xu's face was green.
I saw Ma Xu trembling and asking me, "Little brother, what did I step on?" ”
I twisted my eyebrows, my eyes fell on the broken bones at his feet, and I said nonchalantly, "You just stepped on a skeleton, it's fine." ”
"Bad luck!" Ma Xu snorted, then quickly raised his foot and shook it in disgust.
Ma Xu quickly got rid of the small pile of bones, and then followed my footsteps, but I obviously felt that the strange smell in the air was getting heavier and heavier.
"Ma Xu, do you smell anything?" I turned around and asked Ma Xu with a puzzled expression.
Ma Xu sniffled with me, and then said mysteriously: "It's so fragrant, I think it's so fragrant......"
