Chapter 124: Lotus Corpse
With Ah Chuan's curiosity, they didn't even open the door when we fainted, they must have been worried about some danger outside, we have walked through so many places all the way, and this tomb seems to be the safest.
It was the first time I had seen the main burial chamber with the front and back doors, and I couldn't help but be curious, but something seemed to be blocking the door.
I didn't say it, I just glanced at it, probably dazzled, Xiao Qi buckled the pattern on the stone door, and with a little force, he pulled half of the stone door open, revealing a palm-wide gap.
The cool breeze rushed in with water vapor, I couldn't help but let out a low cry, under the light of the flashlight, half of the dark human body was exposed in front of me, I was not mistaken, there was indeed something blocking outside the stone door, it was a standing person.
He was facing away from us, naked/naked, and at first glance he looked like a man, and I could clearly see that his whole body was covered with dense holes, like a huge volcanic rock, and people with dense phobias would definitely faint on the spot when they saw it.
They seemed to have expected it, except for Lao Huang who took a step back, no one was frightened, Xiao Qi didn't care about that person at all, and opened half of the stone door, Ah Chuan stepped forward and opened the other half as well, and the man with his back to us was completely exposed.
From the back of his head to the back, to his legs and feet, his whole body was covered with thin and dense holes, as if he had been nailed by countless nails, and the goosebumps all over my body stood up, and my heart felt like there were many small insects crawling over, scratching my ears and cheeks.
I didn't want to look at him, and I had to look, what the hell was this, and why was he standing outside the main tomb?
Could it be a volcanic rock carving? I can only try to think on the bright side, but it's too far-fetched, there can't be volcanic rock here, and no one will carve out of this stone, it's absolutely impossible.
I denied my thoughts, and Ah Chuan was curious, and looked very closely, at most half a meter away from him.
At this moment, this person suddenly moved, he was turning towards us very slowly, and Ah Chuan quickly retreated to our side, there was no fear in his eyes, just a little more surprise.
As soon as I was startled, my body unconsciously shrank back, and Brother Shen's strength was very strong, firmly fixing me, if I changed Lao Huang, I would definitely fall.
"Damn, what is this ......?"
Lao Huang screamed, he had completely turned around, I looked at his face, the cold hairs all over his body exploded, not only the back, but his entire body was full of dense holes, the flashlight shone, and nothing could be seen in the black holes.
The small holes are all over the body, the eyeballs, the nose, the lips, the ears, these soft parts are all small holes, especially the eyeballs, I can't describe the extreme weirdness.
I couldn't breathe, this was definitely a man, he must have died a long time ago, but there was no sign of decay, just a darker skin, if it weren't for those dense holes, I would have thought it was a living person.
I don't know if it's lying behind Brother Shen, I'm not particularly afraid, if I was standing on the ground, I would definitely turn around and run, this person is too terrifying, not only the appearance, but more importantly, he will move!
He moved again, his movements were very slow, we must have been able to dodge, I don't know why, they didn't move, this person's body seemed to be very hard, he dragged his feet towards Ah Chuan, crossed the patterns on the ground, and made an ugly grinding sound, Ah Chuan not only did not retreat, but met it.
I couldn't see Ah Chuan's face, but he must have a bad look, the man walked up to him and stopped, as if to take a closer look, his face was getting closer to Ah Chuan, but stopped at the moment he was about to touch it.
He seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture again, I saw his body bent slightly, just hanging in front of Ah Chuan, Ah Chuan unhurriedly raised the flashlight to shine on his eyes, he didn't close his eyes, he didn't seem to feel the light, the living human eyeballs stared straight at Ah Chuan, and the fine holes on it were terrifying and weird.
My heart was beating like a drum, he didn't attack Ah Chuan, but slowly straightened up, turned around and walked towards Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi didn't hide, let him step forward, and watched himself from that annoying distance.
He didn't attack Xiao Qi either, he was like he was patrolling everyone, he was standing outside the tomb gate, could he be a guard?
The fear gradually receded, my heart was full of absurdity, he turned and walked towards us again, Brother Shen didn't move, but I broke out in a cold sweat, I watched the terrifying face get closer and closer, and I couldn't hide.
It was really a human being, his skin was shiny like a living person, and the bloodshot on his eyeballs was just right, no matter how he looked like a dead person, but he had been dead for an unknown number of years, and he didn't know why he had become like this.
He didn't smell of corpses either, the holes were deeper than I expected, and they seemed to go straight to the inside of his body, but nothing could be seen inside, and he seemed to have turned into a soulless shell.
There should always be bleeding when people are poked so many holes, but he didn't, and when I got closer, I could see that some of those holes were drilled from the outside, and some were drilled from the inside of the body, and the skin on the edge of the holes had a slight warped angle, either inward or outward, which was very weird.
He looked at us for a while, then walked away, and walked towards Lao Huang, who took a few steps back and dodged to the side, and he also turned around, as if he didn't see Lao Huang and didn't stop.
"Lao Huang, you, don't move......"
I couldn't help but shout, we didn't hide, he didn't attack us, if the reason for his attack was to dodge, Lao Huang would be in danger.
Lao Huang glanced at me, looking like he was at home, he stopped, this person also stopped in front of him like looking at us, I saw that Lao Huang's forehead was full of sweat, this feeling of being stared at by a monster is very bad, if it wasn't for the god brother on his back, I would definitely scream.
As if deciding that Lao Huang was fine, he turned around and walked silently towards the sarcophagus, Lao Huang quickly glanced at me, raised the sapper shovel and smashed it at the back of his head!
"Bang!"
It was like hitting a stone, the man was unharmed, but Lao Huang was repelled by the impact, and his gaze became full of surprise for a moment.
"Osawa, this ......"
He seemed to have something unspeakable, and Brother Shen took his words: "This is what surrounds us in a deserted village. ”
I couldn't help but shudder, the matter of the deserted village has always been a piece of heart, I didn't expect that I would find the answer here, Brother Shen said it very surely, as if he had known it for a long time.
Yes, and insect medicine, he just asked us to apply insect medicine, and in the deserted village, he also inexplicably sprayed the whole tent with insect repellent, did he know this thing before entering the deserted village?
I feel creepy, if that's the case, then Brother Shen must be hiding a lot of things, he doesn't look like he's been here, how did he know this?
I don't want to doubt him, I still believe that he sprayed insect repellent just in case, but he was so sure that he must have seen it.
"We all fell asleep that night, and you went out to see?" I couldn't help but ask.
Brother Shen was noncommittal, I confirmed this idea, and he really went to see it, maybe he didn't want to scare us, or maybe he didn't think they would attack, so there was no need to tell him, it was better to have more than less.
I didn't even notice his departure, and now I think about it, I only feel scared for a while, and his courage is too great, and there are so many of these things, he dares to go out.
"What the hell is this?" Lao Huang shouted.
Brother Shen didn't answer, he turned around, and I saw that the man was approaching the sarcophagus step by step, and he seemed attracted to something.
What does he want to do?
Everyone was staring at him, and the dense holes made me feel so uncomfortable that he walked to the sarcophagus and stopped, and then began to lean over, at a growing angle, like a bow.
Just when I thought he was leaving, a sudden change occurred, and I saw countless milky white strips suddenly erupt from the small holes in the front half of his body, shooting into the sarcophagus like rain!
This scene happened so suddenly, I opened my mouth wide for a long time and didn't react, Lao Huang ran to the sarcophagus in three steps and two steps, looked down and ran back with a disgusted face.
The scene in front of my eyes was still spraying, he was like a human-shaped shower, and the holes in the exposed sarcophagus were spewing water in unison, disgusting and weird.
If it's water, it's milky white, then what the hell is it!
Ah Chuan also ran forward to take a look, he didn't go back, he stared intently as if he had discovered a new continent, I also wanted to see it, but Brother Shen didn't move.
"Daze, I advise you not to look at it, it's easy to have a psychological shadow." As if seeing through my thoughts, Lao Huang came over and patted me.
The more he said this, the more I wanted to see it, and sure enough, my legs and feet were still good, Brother Shen didn't look at the lively mood at all, and walked outside the cemetery with me on his back, I turned my head, only to see that Ah Chuan also retreated, we walked out of the tomb, Xiao Qi closed the stone door tightly, and the person was locked inside.
"What's that?"
I still can't help it, Lao Huang is a straight man, he definitely can't stand my stalking.
"You haven't seen maggots?" Lao Huang really couldn't hold it back.
"Maggots?"
I was stunned for a moment, what maggot can make the corpse not rot and hard as a stone, this is a god maggot?
"Something about the same, thinner and longer." Lao Huang said impatiently, he didn't seem to want to mention it again.
I shut up, this should also be a Gu worm, fortunately I didn't look at it, the number is only afraid that it will be spread all over the bottom of the coffin, just thinking about it makes my whole body numb, and sure enough, it's not a good thing that my curiosity is too heavy.
No wonder they didn't attack us, they were really afraid of insect medicine, I seem to understand the truth of the deserted village, they rushed to the village with the torrent, the people in the village did not escape, they were parasitized by Gu worms, turned into hard and incorruptible shells, and it was the insects inside that controlled their movements.
I was suddenly very disgusted, and it was as uncomfortable to uncover the mystery, this kind of insect must be poisonous, they hide in the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river, so that there are no fish, shrimp and aquatic plants in the whole river, and even the poisonous insects on the mountain hide far away.
