Chapter 22: The First Task (2)

He said a word to the master impassionedly, and the old man nodded affirmatively to me after hearing this, and patted me lightly on the shoulder, giving me great encouragement.

I straightened my rucksack to make it more comfortable to hang on my chest, and then a thrust stabbed down.

The hole I made was very comfortable to climb, a cave under the slope I climbed a few meters to the mouth of the tomb wall, for the sake of safety, I first picked up a tomb brick and threw it in, to see how high the tomb wall is from the ground,

As soon as my right hand was forced, I only heard the sound of "dang", and I secretly said that I was lucky, judging from the sound, I should be parallel to the bottom of the tomb, or a little higher,

Without hesitation, he took the candle in his left hand and shone forward, and his legs stepped forward, and his body ran straight out.

There was a sound of dust falling on the ground, and most of my body leaned out, and I was going to use one hand to support the ground and rub forward, but my right hand stretched down and didn't touch the ground!

"Damn, I made a mistake."

The ground was much higher than I had imagined, not at all level with the thief hole, and I leaned against the eaves of the wall, twisting my back a few times regularly, and from the front it smelled of a giant caterpillar.

I took a deep breath and was about to do it in one step, pushing my legs and back together.

"Smack!" With a thud, I fell to the ground like a lump of mud. In the moment it came down, it seemed to have crushed something, and even crushed it.

I felt a pinprick-like pain in both of my elbows, gritted my teeth, picked up the candle that had fallen in front of me, and took advantage of the firelight to see what was beneath me.

It was a skeleton with no flesh and skin! The place where I fell was right on his chest, and the two elbows cleverly crushed this guy's sternum.

Looking up, it's a complete skull, good guy, I almost didn't give him a "kiss of death" just now.

Fortunately, the bones were so oxidized that they weren't as hard anymore, and I was only suffering a little skin trauma.

wiped the blood on his arm indiscriminately, and scolded, "Damn, it's not good to be a teacher." ”

This skeleton should be one of my uncles, but I don't know which one for the time being, I haven't confirmed the situation in the tomb for the time being, so take off the backpack first,

took out the marijuana bag prepared in advance, held the bones on the ground together, and began to put it into the bag, one or two times, not to mention, this feeling is really a bit of a taste of picking up ashes, Lala Baba, and a little prickly.

With a skeleton ready in an instant, I stood up and began to look at the entire tomb.

The master they are very powerful, a thief hole directly into the main tomb, the candle fire is very weak, I walked a few steps forward, I saw a huge bronze coffin in the center of the tomb,

The coffin has been opened, the lid of the coffin has been lifted on the ground, the master often says to be steady and steady, remember not to be in a hurry, I decided not to see the coffin for the time being, my main task is to bring out the bones of several uncles,

Thinking of this, I did not continue on, but began to examine around the tomb.

The whole burial chamber is very large, and the floor tiles are also extremely exquisite, not to mention smooth and smooth, and the size is the same, one next to the other,

I shone the candle on the wall, and found that many of the murals had faded, but I could still vaguely see the luxury and grandeur of the owner of the tomb.

I came to a mural and looked closely, this painting tells the scene of the tomb owner when he was buried.

A Taoist priest wearing a green fox robe, or a mage, was doing rituals in front of the coffin, holding a handful of things in his hand and sprinkling them into the coffin.

It should be an antiseptic or insect-biting powder, and the artist's skills are quite superb, and the paintings are full of truth and expressiveness.

I continued to look down in the order of the paintings, and saw that on the second painting, the mage had stopped operating, and there were many house slaves and generals around, and there was a person sitting on the coffin!

The man's head was tied with a golden crown, but his face was a skull, and he was wearing a black long gown and shroud! Like a naughty child, sitting on the edge of a coffin.

"Shhhh Could it be that this thing turned into a zombie before it was buried? ”

I couldn't wait to see the next one, so I took two steps forward, and the mural was peeling off a little badly, and I could vaguely see that this group of people were fighting zombies!

Then the zombie was subdued, and the six of them worked together to tie him up with a kind of golden rope and stuff a bead in his mouth. Finally re-buried.

I looked at these murals in order, and it was roughly that the owner of the tomb had a prominent position during his lifetime, but after his death, he became a zombie.

In the end, there was an incident in broad daylight, and after a great battle, he was reburied again.

I stood in front of the last painting, looking a little puzzled, Master said that zombies are afraid of light, and it is impossible for powerful zombies to transform in the sun, but the content of this circle of murals directly shattered Master's theory.

"What's going on?"

If you don't understand it, I don't want to, this is my life motto, I didn't come here to see paintings, there are still very important things to do,

Relight a candle and continue to observe by the light of the fire.

The place where I came down was the main burial chamber, that is, the underworld where the owner of the tomb was buried, and I observed that there was a passage on the north side of the coffin, east and west, which was supposed to lead to the ear chamber.

Picking up the rucksack, I plan to go to the ear room first, maybe my uncle hung up when he was stealing the funeral goods.

As soon as I looked up, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, standing in place and looking left and right, the sack containing the bones was still on the ground, and the equipment in the backpack was not lacking, but what was wrong.

Suddenly! A bright light flashed in my head, and I quickly looked back!

At this glance, the back of my neck was cold, and a strange feeling emanating from the inside out enveloped me, and I stared blankly at the tomb wall in front of me. The thief hole that I originally climbed out of is gone!!

I blew my hair and reached out to touch the wall, and the icy chill made me shiver instantly.

Fortunately, I am no longer the boy who made a fuss back then, and several years of training and teaching have made my courage have also improved qualitatively.

I yelled, "It's really a evil family." ”

The cave disappeared out of thin air, but the soil I had brought with me when I fell was still there, and the sack containing the bones was intact.

Don't say that I'm a vegetable head (novice), even if an old duck (expert) comes, my scalp will be numb when I see this scene!

Did I touch some mechanism? The idea that popped into my mind was rejected by me on the spot.

I just looked around the burial chamber, and although my attention was all on the murals, my hands honestly did not touch them, and I did not step on anything on the smooth and flat ground under my feet. It shouldn't be the mechanism I touched.

"The Secret Art of Luotu" has a cloud: the single-beam machine technique, if it is different from one's own body, must be the same as the hidden mound.

Since I didn't touch this mechanism, it's a change in the tomb itself.

I'm not worried about not being able to find the thief hole now, the most unfortunate thing is to get out again, what makes me chill is what if a zombie comes to attack me at this time!

Even an old duck like Master almost broke his stalk, let alone me.

But as the old saying goes, fainting can't be dead.

Since I'm not in danger now, it's better to look for Uncle Shi's bones first, maybe I'll come back by myself later?

You have to have a fluke mentality, in case it becomes a critical moment.

I straightened my backpack, put the sack that didn't weigh much over my shoulder, and strode towards the coffin. Look at that back, there is really a bit of a thief who doesn't go empty.

When I came to the coffin, I lit the fire and looked around it carefully.

The craftsmanship of the coffin is extremely gorgeous, the two long faces are engraved with a pattern of a unicorn leaping over the golden mountain, the texture is layered on top of each other, hovering and between the unicorn, the whole is cyan-like, and the rendering is particularly good.

"Not to mention anything else, this coffin alone is worth a hundred thousand miles of good horses!"

I can't help but sigh that the aristocracy of these hundreds of years ago was really extravagant. The inside of the coffin is the coffin, and I don't know what kind of wood it is, and I'm not curious about this.

Holding a candle in one hand, he leaned forward and looked closely!

There were many gold and silver vessels in the coffin, but there were no corpses. I was not a little surprised by this, the master said before coming down, they met the zongzi back then, and were attacked by the zongzi,

It is impossible for the zongzi to lie back after killing people, right? It doesn't make sense.

I picked up a beautiful flowing cloud inlaid gold jade, the jade pendant is not big, there is a groove at the upper mouth, it should be a pair, I thought that I would take it to the master for a while, and it was also a harvest in addition to the bones.

Immediately began to grope inside the coffin, and as soon as my hand touched the bottom of the coffin, I couldn't help but sigh, how could there be a ring under this coffin?

I brushed aside the brocade that had been laid and sent the candle forward, only to see a dark ring shining under the candle revealed!

Stand up the ring and pull it gently, and it will loosen a little.

Seeing this, I didn't continue to operate, what if I touched some mechanism and shot me into a hornet's nest, more is better than less, it's better to find bones quickly.

found another jade pendant and put it in the backpack, left the coffin, and continued to lean in the direction of the ear chamber.

My steps were very light, as if I was afraid of alarming someone, the east, west and north three sides of the passage, I plan to start from the east first, the book said, "Constantly the air of the heavens, the east wall and the yang." ”

It means that if you don't know how to go, and the heavens don't give you a hint, then go to the east, the east is yang, and the west is yin. If you ask me what the north side is, I can only say, I won't tell you for a while.

Along the root of the wall, slowly came to the east passage, first raised the candle, lay on the wall and secretly looked inside, fortunately, nothing unusual,

I took a deep breath to give myself courage, and walked straight in. The tomb road is not very wide, only three or two people can stand side by side, and they have walked more than a zhang.

On the right-hand side there is an ear chamber, the threshold of which is a little high, and the door beam is a little low.

There was a row of small characters on the door beam that I didn't recognize, and there were alpine cloud paintings and carvings, I handed the candle into it and looked at it briefly,

This aural chamber is not large, there are some altars and jars of funerary goods, and there is a small pit in the middle, which contains a skeleton similar to a soil dog.

This is supposed to be a pet for the owner of the tomb to accompany the burial. I chuckled, since there was no uncle's bones, it was better not to go in.

The tomb road is very long, the further you go, the more spacious it is, I don't know where to go for the time being, and after walking three or four feet, an ear chamber appears again on the right hand side,

This ear chamber is different from just now, the ear chamber just now is obviously not for people to enter, this is different, the wide lintel, there is no threshold.

And there is no decoration on this door frame, it seems that the treatment of the earth dog just now is really expensive.

I used a candle to light the way forward, and as soon as I stepped in, I saw that all the shields and weapons were stored in the ear chambers.

There was also an iron shelf directly facing the doorway, on which was placed a very long green dragon battle knife. And he shone around with candles,

Sure enough, there was a corpse lying on the side of his right foot, this corpse was quite well preserved, most of the cloth clothes on his body had been turned into shreds, and there was a paper fan lying there quietly next to it.

I crouched down and whispered. "Fifth Uncle, I'm here."
