Chapter Twenty-Five: Bone Vine Flower: 25

All this happened suddenly, Wang Shan, who was standing behind her, saw it really and Ah Biao disappeared alive, just like the world evaporated, saying that it was gone.

Wang Shan thought that she was dazzled, and hurriedly rubbed her eyes with her wrist.

But not only her, but Pan Ying at this time couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, turned around and looked around with her eyes open, and asked in confusion: "What about Ah Biao?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, confused, when suddenly the waterhole not far away splashed, and there was a gurgling sound of sparkling water.

Wang Shan hurriedly shone the flashlight, and soon saw a corpse with a backpack floating up, and next to the corpse slowly poked out a cat-like head, head, with pointed and long ears facing them, and a row of slender fingers on the chest on the corpse, baring his teeth in the light of the flashlight, and the white fangs flashed with cold light.

"Ah Biao?"

Pan Ying muttered and was about to go back, seeing this, Wang Shan hurriedly stopped her and shook her head, meaning that it was useless, Ah Biao must have died a long time ago, just now it was his soul that broke free, in fact, his body was still under the waterhole at all.

Da Kui's teeth chattered in a hurry, and he slammed his fist into the rock wall, pulling out a steel knife from behind to get Ah Biao's body back.

"Miss, don't move here, I'll go!"

Da Kui said that he was about to go down.

Only Wang Shan and this Ah Biao don't have much friendship here, they are more rational, and when they saw this, they also dragged Da Kui and dissuaded: "Don't be so impulsive first, he is already dead, and he is a corpse when he comes back, do you want to go to danger for a corpse?" In this case, it is nothing more than an extra meal for the water monster! ”

Pan Ying stomped her feet in a hurry, but instead pushed Wang Shan head-on, complaining: "It's all your fault, you said don't come, don't come, you want to drill into this tomb, now it's okay, it's dead, you are the murderer!" ”

Wang Shan didn't expect Pan Ying to push the responsibility on herself, and stared at Pan Ying speechless for a long time.

But soon she realized that Pan Ying was also emotionally out of control because of the loss of her partner, and she was more or less responsible.

Thinking about it like this, he was relieved, frowned and said, "Sister Pan Ying, can you not be like this?" I don't want to cause any deaths, but it's already like this, what's the use of complaining? Yes, I'm responsible, but right now, you can't get me back even if you dismantle me, so think about what to do next! You tell me? ”

Da Kui also calmed down his emotions from the anger just now, took two deep breaths, and began to persuade Pan Ying: "Yes, Miss, the accident has happened, and no one wants such a change to happen." ”

Wang Shan nodded hurriedly and looked at Pan Ying with concern, as if asking for her forgiveness.

At this time, Pan Ying calmed down and thought about it, probably realizing that her attitude just now was very wrong, and she apologized to Wang Shan again: "I'm sorry, Sister Shan, I ...... just now Eh, how can I put the blame on you? I'm really ......."

Pan Ying wanted to slap herself as she spoke, but was stopped by Wang Shan in time, and then looked at her affectionately and said, "Okay, okay!" How could I blame you? And I was the one who caused it. ”

Wang Shan said and looked around again: "Let's hurry up and find the way up, I always feel that this place is gloomy." ”

Da Kui was still looking into the pool, and said with a longing look: "Miss, I want to take Ah Biao's body out for burial, we can't leave him here alone to feed the water monster!" ”

"I understand your feelings, but now that we don't have weapons, it's not realistic to want to salvage Ah Biao's body."

Pan Ying said that she was ruthless, frowned and looked at the waterhole for the last time, turned around and said firmly: "Let's go back and talk about it, Sister Shan is right, we can't send us to death because of a corpse." ”

Seeing that Pan Ying had regained her senses so quickly, Wang Shan was also deeply grateful, but at the same time, she was also a little self-blaming and sad.

Seeing that Pan Ying was about to move forward, he hurriedly followed and took her arm and said, "Sister Pan Ying, you see that this stone step leads all the way up, can you walk up if you follow it?" ”

Pan Ying shook her head and said, "Who can know this? I haven't been here again. …… But there's no other way to go now, so you might as well give it a try. ”

……

The stone steps wind upwards and are supposed to be hewn according to the natural form of the mountain rock.

It is very likely that this cave was formed by the collapse of the mountain, and the ancients accidentally discovered such a cave and remodeled it as a burial place.

The stone steps did not reach the outside world as they imagined, and after climbing for a while, there was a gentle situation in front of them, and there were fewer and fewer traces of artificially hewn stone steps, and further there was a completely flat cracked rock cave, like a hole in the inside of the mountain. Wang Shan felt more and more eerie as she walked through it, and she even saw dry remains hanging from the stone crevices above her head.

Wang Shan swept over her head with a flashlight, and couldn't help but be frightened when she saw the remains, so she called Pan Ying and said, "Did you see that?" It seems to be a dead person, why are there so many dead people here? ”

Pan Ying hurriedly irradiated it with a flashlight, only to see countless corpses hanging in the cracks of the mountain rocks, which looked like collective suicide. The corpses were hung from their heads with thick bodies, some of the ropes were rotten and broken, and their feet were scattered all over the ground. Pan Ying walked over and kicked with her feet, and saw that the corpses were all air-dried, and her face was very hateful, but they were already dead people, and there was no danger.

"These are supposed to be the craftsmen who built the mausoleum, and in order to ensure that the secrets of the mausoleum were not revealed, they were hung here after the burial of the owner of the tomb. There were no obvious injuries on the corpse, and it should have been hung here and starved to death. ”

Pan Ying said as she stepped on it and continued to walk forward, but the further she went, the more dried corpses appeared above her head, like clothes drying on them.

Wang Shan was originally a female man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but walking under the corpses here, she was still trembling with fear, and pulled Pan Ying and asked, "Sister, can you walk a little slower?" I can't keep up with you anymore. ”

After speaking, Wang Shan asked with interest: "You say, why are there so many migrant workers who are being buried, and how many people do you have to kill?" The officials of ancient times were really mad. ”

Pan Ying thought for a while, looked up again, and replied: "Maybe they are not the craftsmen who built the mausoleum, so many people have died here in this way, and no matter how mad the monarch is, he will not be able to do it at all." My guess is that these people may be prisoners of war! In ancient times, there were often wars, and the victory of one side marked the defeat of the other, and the victorious person would often deal with the prisoners of the defeated side in a brutal way. Are there fewer such examples in history? ”。

Walking forward again, you can still see some bones one after another, but the corpses here don't seem to be very different, some are dried corpses and some have become skeletons, and there are pools of skeletons scattered chaotically under their feet, and the clothes worn by the dead corpses are also different, all kinds of them, as if they involve people in different areas, and people who have been hung here at different times.

Thinking about Wang Shan, she had some guesses, and said to Pan Ying: "Do you think these people will be hanged here in batches?" Hang one today, hang one tomorrow, is it hard to accumulate? ”
