Chapter 23: The First Task (3)
Why can I be sure that he is the fifth uncle? Because his skull was facing the wall and out of place with his body, his back and his back to his mouth, as I saw in my dreams, I didn't know what he had been through.
I crouched down, dropped a few drops of wax oil on the ground, fixed the candle, and looked at his corpse, my heart was a little heavy.
The fifth uncle was so kind in his dreams, even if his body was misaligned, he couldn't hide his kindness to me. At the time, although I was panicking, I was not afraid of him, and now... Alas.
Having gathered up the bones, I got up, and when I looked up, I saw a clay pot, which I took in my hand and looked at it carefully, and found a picture of it with dye, with three triangular stone towers that resembled palaces, and a multitude of people busy with something.
After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see a reason, so I put it back.
I'm curious, there are no valuable funeral goods in this ear room, why did the fifth uncle die here?
With doubts in my mind, I got up and looked around with a candle, and when I saw that there was nothing peculiar, I packed his bones, carried them on my shoulder, and turned and walked out.
This tomb road has not yet come to an end, and continues to walk forward, and there are no more ear chambers on both sides, and I don't know how long I walked, maybe far away, maybe very close,
A stone wall appeared in front of me, and it was a monster with a bird's head and a human body, holding a scepter in his hand.
This scepter is very strange, unlike the scepter seen in the homes of large families, there is a crown inserted above it, which is something that only emperors can have, but this is obviously not an emperor's tomb.
It was surrounded by many servants, as if watching what it was doing now,
There is a moon-like orb hanging above the bird-headed figure, I am very curious about this orb, not to mention the crystal clear, it can actually emit a faint green light under the slight firelight, it is likely to be the legendary pearl of the Western Zhou Night,
"If you pick this bead back, you can be dashing for at least 50 years!"
I took out a small chisel from my bag and struck it twice on the edge of the night pearl, not daring to push too hard for fear of breaking it.
This is a sphere, the back half is buried deep in the wall, I have spent a lot of effort, knocked for a long time and failed to take it down, all unwilling but helpless,
Shaking his head, he gave up this greedy idea and turned his head to go back, two of the five corpses have now been collected, and the remaining three should be in other ear chambers,
I simply searched all the way, but the things in the tomb did not change much, I felt a little relieved, and walked straight back,
After returning to the temple, I did not choose to rest, but continued to walk towards the north side of the road, which was obviously more spacious, at least twice as large as the east side.
I didn't dare to be careless, sticking to the right side of the wall, rubbing to the front little by little, the east side of the road only has an ear room on the right, and the north side is left and right.
The ear chamber that appeared first was on the left-hand side, this ear chamber was very large, and the door frame was also processed and corrected, with exquisite patterns, I looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw the place of the lintel, and the middle was written in four words: golden text, big seal, small seal, and official book!
"Welcome!"
I scolded in my heart at the time, "Welcome, uncle!" ”
This is obviously to scare tomb robbers, and it is actually used on Lao Tzu's head? When I leave later, I'll have to give you a fire to burn out, I don't think you're welcome!
I spat indecently on the ground, went straight in, and found a coffin in the middle of the ear chamber, which seemed to be a grandchild's coffin compared to the big coffin outside.
Not only is it short, but it doesn't have any frills. Like a coffin for a dead baby, the master always says that the most terrible zongzi is the baby fish, don't look at him small, but the strength is amazing! And it's fast, and it's often lightning fast.
But Master didn't meet the baby when I was here, so I wasn't worried that it would jump out on its own. Lao Tzu is here to help his uncles fulfill their last wishes, not to fight!
So I don't want to open the coffin, after all, my uncle won't be in that coffin, who has nothing to do and runs in and lies down by himself after opening the coffin, and then covers the coffin.
After a few spoofs in my heart, I began to look in this ear room, which was similar to what I had just imagined, and it was full of baby products.
Like small utensils, children's toys, and newborn swaddling clothes that have now broken into powder, and on a shelf facing the coffin, there is even a golden baby lock,
I was curious, and I remember that when the neighbor's child was born, my father went to give one of these things. But it's not as big as this, and it's not as beautifully worked.
Seeing that the baby lock was hanging there without any protection, I took it off as soon as I reached out and played with it in my hand.
This baby lock is very large, about twice the size of an adult's palm, and I can't help but wonder, who can carry such a big lock?
There are exquisite patterns on it, and the red stripes of the eyes are painted in one, and I turned the gold lock over, and there is a word on the back that I recognize,
"Die"!
Seeing this, I wondered again, how can there be a dead word written on the lock for the baby, isn't this to curse people to die?
After a few more glances, he put it back, the value of this golden lock could not be confused with the night pearl just now,
Gold products, no matter how beautifully you build, he is only worth the price of gold, at most you will count three taels of manual fees, risking the risk to take out the weird and worthless things, it is of little significance,
Besides, I hadn't found a third body yet, so I decided to go out and continue my search, and the farther I went, the less visible the flames became, as if something was obscuring his light.
Across a beam, there was an ear chamber on the right-hand side, and the strange thing was that this ear chamber was empty, and there was nothing, and I lit it around with a candle, and I didn't find any bones, so I didn't go in.
Just as he was about to continue walking, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound in the quiet burial chamber, which was a little like a bee, a little like a fly, and the most vivid thing was that it was very much like a mosquito!
I thought it was some creature flying in from outside in the light of the fire, and I didn't pay much attention to it.
And at this time, I suddenly remembered what my master said to me that year, I may one day die because of a mosquito, and I couldn't help but laugh twice when I thought of this,
I can't believe that I'm a big living person can be bitten to death by mosquitoes!
Holding the flame and continuing to walk, the visibility around him became lower and lower, and the place where his finger was was almost unable to see the flames clearly, thinking that if he went further like this, he would definitely become blind, and how long a blind man could survive in the ancient tomb was obvious.
Just as I was about to turn around and walk back, my hand holding the candle in front of me suddenly bumped into something, and I took another step forward, and I had the courage to reach out and touch it, and found that it was a stone statue.
Because the visibility is too low, I can't see what it is,
I only knew that the statue seemed to be facing me, stretched out a hand, I spoofed my right hand and shook it with him, but unexpectedly, this grip actually shook his hand off,
I was holding that stone hand like a wooden chicken, to be reasonable, why is this stone thing so careless?
At this moment, the sound of iron movement suddenly sounded in the tomb,
"Glalalala"
It seemed that there were a lot of chains holding something to it, and it kept moving, and I thought to myself, I must have hit some mechanism again, and I was so frightened that I quickly pulled my legs and ran back, lest some hidden arrows be released from both sides to tie me into a meat skewer.
By the time I ran back to the temple, I was panting with my hands on my knees. It's so uncomfortable to be tormented by the light thunder and not the rain.
Besides, until now, I have walked through the two corridors, and I have not seen the zombie that attacked my master and them, which means that he is not in the corridor to the west, and he must have run out from somewhere.
I wish he had run out, so that I could be safer, otherwise with my current skills, I would have little chance of winning if I wanted to fight him alone.
After a loud noise, the burial chamber did not change, I took a heavy breath, and followed the corner of the wall into the last corridor again.
This time I was lucky, as soon as I entered the road, I came across a corpse, judging from the big hole in his chest, he should be that Ge Quan,
"Uncle Ge Quan, I'm here! It's ready to take you out! ”
His posture was very strange, the whole person was lying on the ground, his right hand stretched forward for a long time, thinking about something? It's like pointing at someone,
I looked ahead from his perspective. Isn't that the thief hole when I came down?
Looking at it this way, Uncle Ge Quan should have used his life to let that person escape, but that person didn't run out and died at the door of the robbery cave.
Alas, I kept thinking in my heart that the deceased would rest in peace, and that I would go all the way as I put his bones in a bag of hemp, and I moved very lightly, for fear of hurting him.
I can't help but think that in the future, I still don't need to take on the job of picking up bones for people.
Having gathered up his bones, I walked on, changed a candle, and put a small section of it burning on the ground, hoping that it would be bright when it came out.
The west side of the corridor was as narrow as the east side, and there was only one chamber, and I stood in front of the chamber and looked inside.
Just this one glance scared me out of white sweat!
I saw that under the light of the fire, there was a person standing in the ear chamber in a daze, no, it can't be said to be a person,
There will be no one in this place except me,
Looking at that height, looking at his costume, it should be the zongzi that attacked my master back then.
His hair was red, his nails were yellow, and his long protrusions forward, and the flesh of his body was not completely rotten, but wrapped around his bones in a grotesque state, and he stood there facing the wall, motionless.
It's like a child who has made a mistake, where is facing the wall!
