Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tomb Robbers
Nanyang clenched the sword in his right hand and said movingly: "Everyone, be careful! Master Zhou, do you think this is also a mechanism? ”
Zhou De was also very nervous and said, "Hurry up!" At this point, we can't go back. The crowd did not dare to observe the changes in the statues closely, and they could not stay here, and immediately walked forward quickly. After entering the ancient ruins, everyone has been involuntarily, and now they can only move forward bravely.
The statues just turned around and stared at the crowd, as if to prevent them from retreating, and nothing else changed. The crowd strode forward, and after walking a short distance, the pillar suddenly shone a burden with a flashlight and fell on the stone road. Nanyang walked over and saw that the burden was very tightly wrapped, and there were a lot of things bulging inside.
Nanyang pulled out the ancient sword, and with a slight stroke, the burden left and was broken, only to see that there were rare treasures with colorful lights flashing inside, and there were some golden gold bars.
When everyone saw the contents of this baggage, they knew that they must have been dropped by the previous survivors. So, those guys should be in front. The thought of someone having been here before made them feel a little relieved, and they continued on their way, finding that the stone path was intermittently littered with gold, silver and jewels, all of which had been brought down from the ancient city above.
The people also understood that since these treasures were left here and abandoned, they must have died. The body of the emperor may be hidden somewhere ahead.
After walking a short distance, they saw more and more strange runes carved on the walls, and it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to a place. They walked more than ten meters and saw that there seemed to be a Qionglou Yuyu in the distance.
Everyone used flashlights to shine past, and in the darkness, there was a beautiful pavilion built of jade, as if there was only a Qionglou Yuyu in the fairyland. However, it is incomprehensible that there is such a Qionglou Yuyu in the gloomy underground cave.
Everyone walked carefully to the front of the pavilion, only to see that the pavilion shape is elegant, the green tile cornices, the carved railings and paintings, very exquisite. Nanyang looked up at the second floor, it was pitch black inside, only there seemed to be some lights on the first floor.
Everyone walked softly to the pavilion, Nanyang waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop, he and Zhou De walked up the steps, came to the door, and saw that the doors and windows were carved of jade, and the two jade doors were open, like the buildings in the ancient city, as if they were waiting for the arrival of visitors.
Nanyang held a gun in one hand and an ancient sword in the other, and carefully walked into the pavilion, and found that it was very neat, and the walls and floors were made of beautiful jade, ingenious, spotless, and extraordinary. The walls on either side of the hall were inlaid with a few pieces of glowing jade, and there was nothing else, and there were no stairs, so it seemed that the second floor of the pavilion was just an ornament.
At the end of the pavilion there was an arched passageway, and it was pitch black inside, and I don't know where it leads.
Nanyang saw that there was no danger in the attic, and let everyone in. Gao Qin and Xu Ming carefully looked at the environment around the hall, and they couldn't figure out what the use of this pavilion was. However, it seems that the arched passage in this pavilion is like an entrance to a certain place, and everyone seems to have entered a ghost town.
Zhou De's face was ugly, and he took a flashlight and walked towards the arched passage. The passage was dark and not very spacious, but it was very cold. After walking a few steps, they found that the material of the four walls of the passage had changed, from smooth and flat jade to black stones, which were of different sizes and shapes, revealing sharp edges and corners, and the road surface was also bumpy.
The passage was pitch black, and everyone held flashlights and walked forward cautiously, finding that the passage became wider and wider as everyone moved forward, no longer as crowded as it was at the beginning, and the walls on both sides gradually had patterns. However, everyone was very surprised when they didn't look at these patterns, and the stone blocks on the walls were carved with white bones, all of which were terrifying skulls.
Everyone felt a chill in their backs, wondering what kind of passage this was? Where do you lead? How are they all piles of bones?
Everyone continued to walk forward, and the carvings on the walls turned into all kinds of hideous ghost images, becoming more eerie and terrifying, and everyone who saw it was terrified, and Nanyang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and he saw two people lying motionless in the dark passage.
Nanyang looked at the two people lying on the ground, both wearing villager clothes, and their bodies seemed to be a little deformed. The person on the left is strong, the person on the right is very old, and both of them are lying on the ground and cannot see their faces.
Nanyang took out the thermometer, probed these two people, frowned and said, "These two people are already dead." ”
Zhou De saw these two corpses, became very excited, he walked over, cautiously walked over, turned over the two corpses, the person on the left looked very powerful and fierce, with big shoulders and round waist, and was more than forty years old. On the right is an old man, bald and gray. Zhou De stared at the faces of these two people, as if he recognized their identities, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes. Nanyang asked coldly: "Master Zhou, do you recognize these two people?" ”
Zhou De's face was heavy, as if he had accumulated too much emotion, and his body trembled a little. However, he did not answer Nanyang, but looked at the wound on the corpse. Both corpses had stab wounds to the chest and abdomen, as if they had been wounded by a sharp blade, the wounds were deep, but not much, but the wounds were not large, and the blood did not flow too much. The two men mainly injured a few vital wounds, and did not bleed too much to death.
Next to the two bodies was a bag that had been opened and contained some old-fashioned grave robbing tools.
Zhou De stared at the corpses, always feeling that something was wrong, these two corpses were not like the three corpses seen in the ancient city that had all run out of blood, but their skin and flesh were blue, as if only a part of the blood had been lost. Gao Qin looked at the faces of the two corpses, they were already a little out of shape, and they looked very hideous and terrifying.
Gao Qin said: "It seems that these two people are the survivors of the Hall of Eternal Life, they were injured by the statue in the temple, and found the secret passage in the golden coffin in the crisis, jumped down to escape, and fled all the way here with the stolen cultural relics, but finally died of serious injuries and died here." She continued: "These people are supposed to be tomb robbers." ”
Xu Ming nodded and said, "Senior sister is right, the identities of these people have been determined, they robbed the tomb and died in the tomb." The only remaining mystery is where the emperor's true burial place is. ”
At this time, the more Zhou De looked at the corpse, the more inappropriate it became, and said, "Let's go quickly, it's not easy to stay here for a long time." ”
Xu Ming said: "We finally found the bodies of the tomb robbers, and maybe we can find important clues from these two corpses, why are we in such a hurry to leave?" ”
A trace of worry and panic flashed in Zhou De's eyes, and he said, "Let's go quickly, I see that these two corpses may have a corpse transformation." ”
Xu Ming was a little scared when he saw these two terrifying corpses, but what he was really afraid of was the deadly mechanism in the ancient ruins, and these two corpses were zombies, he thought to himself, what was so terrible about this dead person? Although the mechanism is terrible and somewhat unexplainable, it has a scientific basis and is ultimately designed by people, and it is scientific common sense that there are no ghosts in the world. He said, "Corpse? If it's a dangerous trap, we'll be careful, but you're saying that these two corpses in front of you will turn into ghosts, and you're just dead. With that, he gently kicked the old man's corpse with his foot.
After Nanyang saw the power of the institutions in the ancient city, he trusted Master Zhou quite a bit in his heart, but now Master Zhou talked about these nonsense ghosts and gods, which is really unreasonable. But when he thought about it, the stubborn old man was very emotional now, and it was not easy to refute it to his face, and said, "Okay, let's continue walking." ”
The people left the corpse and continued to walk, walking along the passage, the dark passage became wider and wider, and the crowd seemed to walk backwards from the tip of the horn of the ox. The surroundings were very quiet, and everyone walked a distance, only the footsteps and breathing of everyone in the passage, Gao Qin and Xu Ming looked at the ghost patterns on the stone walls on both sides as they walked, all of them looked hideous and terrifying. At this time, Gao Qin suddenly had a sense of crisis, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong in the passage. Gao Qin stopped, turned his head to look, and found that Nanyang's expression was grim, it turned out that he had already sensed that something was wrong.
Xu Ming saw Gao Qin's expression and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he heard the crowd stop, and there seemed to be footsteps rapidly approaching in the dark passage.
