Chapter 18: The Ground for Raising Corpses
Coming to the first floor of the palace, there is a lot of space, the floor is covered with white ash, there are no extra rooms in all directions, and there are no jewels all over the floor.
In front of the four walls stood four groups of men and horses, eight feet tall, clad in armor and helmets, made of bronze, all standing with their backs to the wall and swords, their faces hideous and not angry, and they looked like they were dressed in foreign clothes.
In the position of the gate vacated a space, stretched out from the ground a top door stone obliquely against the gate, no wonder Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin from the outside can not push open the door, this is borrowed from the Central Plains area of the tomb anti-theft means, once the tomb gate is closed, it can no longer be entered from here.
Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin expected that this place must have been built by the Gu Miao people, and those wax corpses were estimated to be Han slaves captured by the Gu Miao people, and they were all made into wax corpses, and they were also very pitiful people
Wu Xin scraped the white ash on the ground with his foot and said: "The ground is covered with lime and fine crystals, and there is a very thick charcoal under the lime, this place may not only be as simple as an ancient tomb, it should also be used to raise corpses!" ”
Shen Jinsan: "There is really a place to raise corpses!" No wonder there are so many beasts and wax corpses! Uncle Wu, their voice is gone, and there is no one here, there must be space below, they should run there. ”
Wu Xin: "Yes, let's go find the entrance and be careful of the wax on the ground!" ”
In addition to these bronze soldiers, there was also wax oil and some mess on the ground, and the wax oil should have been dripped after the wax that sealed the wooden planks on the top had melted, and it was still dripping at the moment.
The ground was very slippery, Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin walked on it cautiously, dozens of small coffins were placed around them, some had been shattered, some coffin boards had been opened, and several dried animal corpses wrapped in wax oil were also lying on the ground, looking like they had fought with traces.
Shen Jinsan: "The surroundings are so chaotic, the dried corpses of these animals may be beasts killed by Uncle Wu!" ”
Wu Xin knew that his father must have been injured when he fell from the plank road, and it must have taken a lot of effort to kill so many beasts here, for the Taoist priest, at Wu Zhengyi's age, he is basically focused on cultivation and self-cultivation, and after this toss, he must be uncomfortable now.
Wu Xin: "Yes! I hope they weren't hurt, Dad said that although the beast is not very powerful, it can take advantage of the changes in the surrounding environment to make people have illusions, so it is very harmful! Let's go to the stairs and have a look. ”
Under the staircase in the middle, it was even more messy, and the messy pieces were scattered all over the ground, some of which were swept by the light and could refract the dazzling brilliance, and they didn't know what it was, and when the two of them got closer, they immediately understood the ins and outs of what had happened before.
Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin increased their weight after stepping on the stairs, so they crushed the glazed vat, which was supposed to be filled with some kind of liquid, but as soon as the cylinder was broken, it all leaked out, and it quickly volatilized, because a large and fresh water stain could be seen around the staircase.
Wu Xin squatted down and smelled the smell: "These liquids don't smell, no wonder we didn't smell it, the wax on those dead people will melt, it should also have something to do with this." ”
Shen Jinsan: "Looking at it now, it's not necessarily wax, I haven't heard of solid wax that can melt without heating." ”
Wu Xin got up: "There are many things you haven't seen!" Have you ever seen zombies in the past? ”
Shen Jinsan: "That's right, but it's weird, it's not to make such a mechanism to melt those waxes!" ”
Wu Xin: "This is a place to raise corpses, I'm afraid that the real purpose is to bring those dead people back to life, and then it will be troublesome, many tombs are like this, tomb robbers are easy to get in and difficult to come out, let's move faster, find Dad and the fat man and go out quickly!" ”
So, after searching for a long time, the two of them did not find the entrance to the next floor, time passed bit by bit, and there was no longer any movement of Wu Zhengyi and them below, and Wu Xin was anxious at this moment.
The two of them had to sit on those small coffins and think about what to do.
Shen Jinsan: "They should have left footprints, but unfortunately these wax that flowed down covered the footprints and couldn't see them clearly!" ”
Before Shen Jinsan could finish speaking, suddenly there was a series of slight noises from the wooden plank on the top.
The voice became denser and denser, Wu Xin took out his dagger and stood up and said, "It's time to come!" ”
Shen Jinsan also tightly grasped the long sword that came from the arsenal with both hands: "I don't know if it's those dead people or beasts!" ”
The two took a few steps back, trying to leave the stairs to choose some, only to see several wax corpses in Hanfu jumping down from it one after another, still with that weird expression, still hunched over, but the lantern in their hands was missing.
Wu Xin: "It's over!" This time I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring a charm. ”
Shen Jinsan: "Then cut it!" ”
The wax corpse slowly crawled on the ground, snorting like a pig in its nose, as if searching for the smell of the living, Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin slowly retreated towards the direction of the gate, they didn't want to immediately engage with these wax corpses.
Wu Xin: "These things should be blind and invisible, and they have been rigid for too long to straighten up, you just need to be careful to avoid the fight, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to deal with, find the neck and cut the head!" ”
Shen Jinsan: "Isn't it easier to slash by spraying the blood on the tip of your tongue on the sword?" ”
Wu Xin: "No! Seeing blood is even more troublesome! Unlike the Celestial Master Seal, this sword has no aura! ”
There are more and more wax corpses jumping from above, although they are not fast, but they can't stand up to the huge advantage in numbers, if they really want to fight, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other.
The wax corpse slowly approached the two, and a few of them should have smelled the smell of Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin, and suddenly accelerated and crawled towards them.
Shen Jinsan raised his long sword and slashed at the one closest to him, although this wax corpse was not as hard as iron as Yue Fei in King Yue's tomb, it was not as easy to cut as he imagined, and Shen Jinsan felt like he was chopping ham and bacon.
The long sword was stuck on the back of the wax corpse and was stuck by the bone, the wax corpse was infinitely powerful, pushing Shen Jinsan all the way back, Shen Jinsan wanted to pull out the sword but couldn't use the force, but the soles of his feet slipped and sat on the ground, he quickly split his legs to avoid being bitten.
Shen Jinsan watched as a strange face was about to stick to his face, he pressed his hands against the shoulders of the wax corpse, and the wax corpse pushed him backwards, rubbing Shen Jinsan's ass and eggs hot.
"Smack"
At the critical moment, Wu Xin immediately rushed over to help Shen Jinsan break the siege after solving one, she jumped on the back of the wax corpse and pressed it to the ground, Shen Jinsan couldn't care about the huge pain in his buttocks, quickly got up and struggled to pull out the long sword, and then stabbed into the head of the wax corpse, and the wax corpse immediately disarmed and surrendered motionless.
Shen Jinsan grinned, wiped off the charcoal and crystal scum inserted in his buttocks, and the pain made him cry: "Damn! The ass is grinding and blooming, how do they know we're down there! ”
Wu Xin: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful! A few more crawled over there! ”
