Volume 2, The Lost Trace of the Sand Sea Chapter 127, see Qianshu Hongde again

The three of them walked through the porch, and on the inner walls on both sides of the doorway, there were guards with the god of war Nacarosa and the head of a rat carved inward, also holding swords, guns and spears, and their eyes were half-open and half-closed. The reliefs are inlaid with stone slabs depicting the god of war Nacarossa leading his rat-headed army to conquer the four directions, as well as the various sacrifices of the Tatunans to the god of war.

I don't know if the light of the torches is too jumpy, or the eyes of the three people are hallucinating, as Chen Tao and the others continue to advance, Chen Tao always feels that the eyes of those reliefs and the rat-headed stone statues outside the porch are moving with them, which makes people's hearts hairy.

Passing through the doorway, the space suddenly opened up, and the space suddenly changed from narrow to large, Chen Tao couldn't help but think of Tao Yuanming's description of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".

"At the beginning, it is very narrow, and only then can it be understood. Repeat dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened! ”

But the scene in front of me is not "the land is flat, and the houses are like houses." ”

None of the people present thought that the huge underground hall would be filled with rows of dried corpses!

Directly opposite the entrance was an altar, on which were messily placed gold plates, silver bowls, iron spoons and copper cups, and there seemed to be something on the plate, which was black and rotten.

And when they looked out at the altar, they saw that there were numerous stone pillars in the great hall that went up to the top of the temple. The stone pillar is one zhang square, it seems to be directly carved out of this rocky mountain, and the four sides are full of deep rectangular holes, two meters long and half a meter high. Looking from the bottom up, neatly submerged into the depths of darkness, and then looking at this hall, there are no less than twenty or thirty square stone pillars like this in front of you, and I don't know how many there are in the future, and there is no end in sight of the black pressure.

What's even more incredible is that there is a corpse lying in every square hole! I don't know how many years it has been here, but it has long been dried by people, and some of them are even gone, revealing a section of gray-white dry bones. There are even some of them, only a part of them remains, mutilated, and I don't know where they went.

In the flickering and beating of the torches, Chen Tao only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and an incomparably grand hall appeared in front of him, even wider than the hall of the god of war Nacarossa above.

I don't know when the torches were lit on the stone walls on all sides, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter, Chen Taogang wanted to ask Haozi and others to take a closer look, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one around.

it! What about people!

Dada......

Frightened, Chen Tao suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the doorway behind him, and when he looked back, Chen Tao's heart suddenly beat wildly.

Outside the porch, I don't know what time were, stood two rows of guards in mouse masks, stout, dark-skinned, with strange tattoos on their bare arms, extending into the leather armor, and the weapons in their hands shimmered in the firelight.

Obediently, how did those stone men come true!

Chen Tao was nervous, looking left and right and was trying to dodge, but he heard that the footsteps were approaching, and a few people came down from the stone stairs opposite. At the head were two men and a woman, followed by two veiled female retinues.

"Thousand ...... Qianshu Hongde! ”

Chen Tao's jaw dropped in shock

What's the situation, why did Qianshu Hongde's old immortal pop out again!

Although the Qianshu Hongde that Chen Tao saw in Heizigou was just a bad old man who had been dead for many years, but he had been haunted by nightmares since then, he was 100% sure that the middle-aged man was Qianshu Hongde.

At this time, Qianshu Hongde was only in his thirties, in the prime of life, with sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, and a little more calm and sophisticated in his demeanor.

Chen Tao saw that his eyes were straight, and he really couldn't see that Qianshu Hongde was like this when he was young, with a handsome face with edges and corners, even if he put it on until now, he could be fascinated by a large area.

This is definitely a dream!

Chen Tao pinched his thigh fiercely, and his expression instantly became distorted.

That hurts!

Chen Tao rubbed his blue and white thighs that were pinched by himself, and the whole person was completely stunned.

It's not a dream, is everything in front of you real?

This special mother is really alive and damn!

Looking at Qianshu Hongde's side again, there is an elderly man in the middle, with a turban wrapped around his head, embroidered with gold thread, and a sparkling ruby in the center, obviously not low.

On the other side of the elder was a woman, dressed in a pale yellow gauze dress, curvy and concave, although she was also wearing a thin gauze scarf on her face, but her big eyes could suffocate people at a glance.

This......

This is the big beauty on the sand dune!

Seeing those people getting closer and closer, Chen Tao remembered that he wanted to hide, but the group of people had already walked towards him face to face, where was there still time.

Finished...... Wait for death!

Shouting in his heart, Chen Tao didn't have time to make any moves, when he saw those people passing over him, as if he didn't exist.

Several people stood in front of Chen Tao, the elder didn't know what to say, picked up the exquisite wine jug on the altar and poured out a glass of sake, raised it above his head and bowed a few times to the front, and then all of them spilled out.

"Taozi! Taozi? There was a sudden shout in his ears, and Chen Tao woke up suddenly, stunned in place.

"What just happened?" Chen Tao touched his forehead

"Just now, you fucking looked at the dried corpses in front of you, and your eyes were about to pop out!" Haozi pointed to the stone pillar in front of him, "I'm a god, how many salted fish are there!" It's all piled up."

"This isn't a pile, this special mother is simply a human dried supermarket, tens of thousands of human jerky!"

Chen Tao was also taken aback, and his heart was even more shocked by the illusion just now.

It was all too real, as if I had traveled through a thousand years in that moment, and really saw a scene that had happened here.

The others were obviously taken aback, they didn't expect so many corpses.

Looking back at the bearded man and the others, he saw that the bearded man's eyes were flashing, with a killing intent, Chen Tao was shocked when he saw it, and said that there was something wrong with this beard, and he had a grudge against everyone.

Seeing that Chen Tao and the three of them were not moving, the bearded man took a gun and put it on Chen Tao's waist.

"Enter

Go! ”

In his heart, he was reluctant to do anything, but Chen Tao still stepped out in one step, only to hear the sound of gagging under his feet, as if he had stepped on something. When I looked down, it turned out to be a broken bone.

"Strange, why did this broken bone come here, could it be that these salted fish are tired and walking?" Haozi grinned and directly picked up the broken bones on the ground.

"The Tatunans have a habit of burying their bodies under the temples of the temples, and they are usually placed here either as dignitaries or national heroes. Although the god of war Nakarosa is the younger brother of Nakara, the god of death, he is the god of the main war, and those buried here should be all soldiers who died in the battles of the Tatunan Dynasty. Ye Rong said.

"According to you, how many corpses must be there in this place!" Chen Tao exclaimed.

"Not all people are qualified to be buried under the temple of the god of war, Nacarossa, at least those who have made military exploits or made significant contributions to Tatunaan."

"Even rice hair, disrespectful and disrespectful." Haozi hurriedly put the broken bones in his hand on the ground, folded his hands and bowed a few times.

Chen Tao walked around the altar and looked down, but saw stone pillars rising from the ground and sinking straight into the darkness above his head. This place is said to be a big hall, but it is actually a big pit, there are still a few meters deep from the altar, the wolf's eye flashlight and signal torch are in the hands of the bearded and others, and the light of the torch is very limited, Chen Tao can only see the black one below on the altar, there seems to be black gas churning in the dark, and countless thick square pillars rise from the ground, straight to the top of the hall.

On both sides of the altar, there is a stone staircase leading to the ground, one meter wide, and the top is also made of whole long stones, and there are guardrails and handrails on the outside, which are carved with exquisite patterns and various beasts that Chen Tao did not know.

Everyone didn't know how deep they had walked underground, but they felt that the air in the cave was dry and cold, and there was even a slight cool breeze blowing, mixed with an indescribable strange smell.

Chen Tao told Haozi and Ye Rong to be more careful, he held a torch and shook it on the edge of the stone stairs, stepped on the stone steps, and walked down a few steps, and couldn't help frowning.

There was a strange sensation under his feet, and the stone staircase was obviously full of stone, but it seemed to be stepping on sand. Chen Tao bent down to take a look, and saw that there was a thick layer of black sand on the stone steps, and it seemed to go down more and more.

Chen Tao grabbed a handful in his hand, but felt a burst of coolness in his hand, and twisted it with his fingers, the black sand particles were very large, and some even condensed into lumps, vaguely exuding a strange smell.

"It's strange, what kind of sand is this, it's completely different from the outside, and there is even a hint of coolness." Chen Tao felt the coolness in his hands, and it really made people feel comfortable all over their bodies in this sultry desert.

"The devil knows what it is, and if you can't keep it even, what snakes, insects, rats, and ants pull the poop, and you will scratch you."

There are about 30 steps of the stone staircase, and when everyone gets down the stone staircase, there is more black sand under their feet, and their feet are soft on it, as if they are stepping on plasticine. The bearded man and the others in the back didn't say a word, and they all jumped down the stone steps one after another, looking around vigilantly one by one, and Chen Tao turned his head

Look, there are two torches lit on the altar, and two minions are guarding the entrance to the cave, their guns pointing down, aiming at themselves.

Fuck ......

Chen Tao scolded his mother and held a torch to observe the surrounding situation.

If what you see from the altar is a shock, then there is nothing left below it. People in front of the stone pillar are like being under a 100-meter building, looking up and looking up, there is no end in sight. What's more, there are all ancient corpses inside, and in this dark and cold underground, it seems that mountains of corpses are pressing people's chests and breathless.

Chen Tao approached a stone cave beside him, only to see a dried corpse lying inside, dressed in battle clothes, with his hands crossed on his chest, and a long sword in his hand. The corpse was black and purple, the head was gone, and the rest of the flesh had been dried into old bark, tightly wrapped around the bones.

What made him strange was that although the dried corpse had been air-dried like this, the surface of the skin and flesh seemed to have been coated with a layer of oil wax, and the corpse was tightly wrapped inside, shining with a layer of oil against the firelight.

Chen Tao took a closer look, and saw that the wax shell was crystal clear, about the thickness of a dollar coin, and it was very hard when pressed by hand, like glass.

With a flick of the torch, a light suddenly flashed on the corpse's waist, Chen Tao's eyes shrank suddenly, he glanced back at the beard, and his hand quietly stretched out to the corpse......
