Chapter 4 Empty Building
The dense coffins filled almost the entire dark room, and my scalp tingled for a while. The rotten master behind him couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and after exchanging glances, we decided to go in and have a look.
The air in the dark room was disgusting with the smell of coffins and a faint smell of rancidity, so I covered my nose and went to the nearest coffin to take a closer look.
This coffin is bigger than I thought, and it seems to be a joint burial coffin. The lid was so uneven that I couldn't tell what it was, so I reached out and touched it. A familiar feeling flashed through my heart, as if I had seen these things somewhere.
Just as I was falling into a memory, a shout from a distance from the rotten master pulled me out. I walked over quickly and asked him what was wrong, and the rotten master shook his head and pointed to the coffin and said, "Huaizi, have you found anything strange?" ”
I thought to myself that the rotten master had found something else, so I followed his footsteps to the coffin, and he touched something and said to me: "Huaizi, if you were to nail the coffin, how would you nail it?" ”
I felt a little strange in my heart, but I answered his question truthfully: "Of course, I pointed a nail at the coffin." The rotten master smiled profoundly, and said unhurriedly: "Yes, nail it from the outside, right!" ”
I couldn't guess what he wanted to say, so I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and nodded to him: "I said you don't want to sell it, it's all in a hurry." The rotten master said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, the so-called sharpening of the knife is not a mistake for chopping wood, you should take a closer look at the nails of this coffin." ”
Seeing my blank look, Master Fu continued to explain: "The function of the coffin nail is to reinforce the coffin, but look at this coffin. He pointed to the nail tip on the coffin surface: "This nail method is like preventing the contents from coming out." ”
I couldn't help but be horrified, and I bent down to take a closer look. These coffin nails are indeed longer and thicker than ordinary nails, and even better strengthening.
But my attention was quickly drawn to what was in the coffin. The rotten master obviously noticed it before me, and he had already looked at it. I instinctively reached out to touch it, but the rotten master knocked my hand off.
I turned my head a little uncertainly, only to see him with an uncharacteristically serious face, and yelled at me, "Do you know what that thing is, you dare to touch it!" ”
I was a little ashamed to be taught a lesson, and I didn't dare to answer the words of the rotten master for a while. He glared at me, then took the candle and burned the black hair, and an indescribable smell filled the air.
I was a little disgusted, frowning and asking the rotten master what it was, the rotten master looked at me with a picture that he had never seen the world: "This is corpse hair, if you touched it just now, now you are not standing and asking me these idiotic questions." ”
Although I didn't have any experience in fighting, I still knew how powerful this thing was, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back, but I stepped on something under my feet and made the sound of gears turning.
My first reaction was a hidden weapon, so I reflexively rolled on the spot, hiding behind a coffin and not daring to get up. After a while, there was no other movement, and I slowly propped up my upper body and looked up: a jade coffin appeared on a high platform at some point, and the rotten master was looking around it. I breathed a sigh of relief, got up neatly, and walked briskly over.
This is a white jade coffin, and a few points of scarlet on the lid of the coffin can't help but evoke people's minds, which makes the jade coffin even more mysterious. There were still some dots engraved on the official lid, I don't know what it was, and the whole jade coffin was still locked by huge chains, as if to prevent it from being moved or as if to lock it, I hovered around the side of the coffin with my arms crossed and carefully examined each place.
Just watching, the rotten master called me over again, and he pointed to the northeast corner of the coffin: "Huaizi, what do you think this is?" I looked down and saw the symbols again, a little impatient: "Fuck, I've seen this thing a few times!" ”
After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and added: ", I remember, I have seen these symbols three times, the first time is this coffin, the second time is the silk book in the patriarch's room, and the last time is the coffin just now!" ”
I made a few notes, went back to the coffin and compared them carefully, and sure enough, they were exactly the same!
What the is going on! I thought to myself. looked at the rotten master: "Can you understand what this is?" ”
The rotten master frowned and thought for a while: "This seems to be a kind of writing, but I don't know what it is, so I have to go back and find information." "Master Fu and I walked around inside a few more times, and when we saw that we didn't find anything else, we retreated.
Back at the fork in the road, I paused to consider whether or not to move forward. The rotten master looked at me provocatively: "What's wrong?" Don't dare to go? ”
I was aroused by this look: "Hmph, master, I haven't been afraid of anything since I beat my mother's womb, don't you know that I was scared?" Let's go! After saying that, he walked in front with a very temperamental attitude.
The road seemed to be longer than I had imagined, except for the occasional beating of candle flames, and the atmosphere was a little tense, and I felt a little stressed, but it didn't take long for the stone staircase to appear in front of us.
Walking up the stone stairs, we came to the surface. I looked at the familiar pattern and immediately concluded that this was an ancient building, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The rotten man lowered his eyelids as if he was thinking about something, and when he felt my gaze, he raised his head and put away his emotions. "Huaizi, are we going to the ancient building?" The voice of the rotten master came. I replied with a soft hum.
The space of the ancient building is very large, and nothing I have made up in my brain along the way has appeared, but I am most afraid of the dark tide surging under the darkness, and I dare not relax my vigilance.
When I got to the ground, I didn't have to worry about air circulation, so I extinguished the candle and turned on the flashlight. I stood still and shot around, but there was still nothing in the flashlight's line of sight, and there was a dead silence around me.
"Rotten master, do you think it's strange?" My voice echoed through the building for a long time.
"I haven't seen anything yet! Are you weird? "Master rotten doesn't understand what I mean.
I analyzed it carefully: "First of all, judging by the echo of my conversation with you, this place is very large, and it is very wide. Secondly, after a cursory look just now, the place where the flashlight was shining was empty, not even a table, isn't it too abnormal? ”
The rotten master finally understood, and looked up: "What do you mean...... Is this an empty building? ”
I nodded at him, sighed, and said disappointedly, "You have to be ready, we may be going home empty-handed." "There was nothing else to do, so I habitually came to the window to think about things, but when my index finger touched the windowsill, I felt a heart-piercing pain.
The rotten master didn't know where he had gone, but he could only hear the sound of his shoes hitting the wooden board. I held the flashlight in one hand, and the index finger of the other hand went directly into my mouth, and the smell of rust immediately spread.
At this time, the rotten master came out of nowhere, looked at me and asked me teasingly: "Huaizi, are your fingers delicious?" Salty or not? I said vaguely: "Master Rot, don't make fun of me, I'm hurt." ”
The rotten master reproached me for my negligence while stretching his hand into his pocket. I took out my hand and rubbed it on my clothes, and when I saw that there wasn't much saliva, I put my hand out.
After helping me put on the band-aid, his eyes lit up and said, "Huaizi, I have made a new discovery, guess what." "I gave him a blank look, thinking in my heart that you love to talk about it or not, master, I really don't accompany him! Seeing that I didn't answer, he continued: "There are three floors in this building, but there are no stairs, so I guess there are organs. I ignored his look of praise and walked on.
"Huaizi, we don't have much time left, we have to hurry up." Voices came from behind. I walked forward without saying a word, and after a few steps, I stumbled upon the loosening of my shoelaces.
After tying his shoelaces, he slipped his flashlight and fell to the ground when he got up. When I bent down to pick it up, I found something between the boards. After picking up the flashlight, I used a knife to gouge it out, and it was a rubbing, with a very beautiful flower printed on it.
The sound of the rotten master's urging came from a distance, and I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I put it in my bag and got into the tunnel. After coming out, the sky was already white, and after saying goodbye to the rotten master and filling the pits, I went back to my room, dragged my tired body and simply cleaned myself up, and fell asleep with the quilt.
