Chapter 18: Removing Evil
The old horse walked in front naturally, and I was not afraid to follow behind, I always felt that no matter how big the matter was, there was a corpse behind me.
The walls on both sides of the road are full of murals, but unfortunately this ancient tomb has long been in the air, these murals are basically not clear to see the original appearance, can only see a few lines, and the humidity here is very heavy, and the murals are corroded to the point that they are not visible.
The murals generally tell the life of the tomb owner, we can't look at it, let alone tell whose tomb it is, just walking through it like this, as if walking through the corridor of history, our hearts will feel heavy.
The road is very long, the slope is all the way down, we walked for a while before the end, but I felt the humidity in the air getting heavier and heavier, look at the wall of the road actually appeared a piece of white salt spots, this must be very close to the water, and it is very salty water.
At this moment, the old horse suddenly stopped, and it turned out that there was a fork in the road ahead, one continuing to the front, and two on the left and right.
The one in front was still pitch black, with no end in sight, but on the left was a short corridor that seemed to be another burial chamber.
Just as the old horse was about to move the flashlight to the right, I saw a pair of green eyes on the right rushing towards us at a very fast speed, facing the old horse's hand holding the flashlight.
"Old horse, it's the fox!"
I screamed and almost let go of the female corpse, but suddenly I heard a slight "gurgling" sound from the female corpse behind me, and when I looked down, I saw that the female corpse's nails were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Old Horse !!"
My voice changed completely, I wanted to shake off the female corpse, but she was like growing on me, I couldn't shake it off, I could feel that this female corpse was coming back to life.
"!"
The old horse scolded me fiercely, grabbed me and pushed me into the corridor to the left, and the force was so great that it almost broke my ribs.
I couldn't control the balance of my body at all, and I took seven or eight steps backwards, and with a "bang", even the person and the corpse hit the thing behind me, and I fell directly to the ground.
The burial chamber was pitch black, and my bones were falling apart, but the female corpse behind me seemed to be quiet, and I barely looked up, and I could only see the old horse fighting with the fox, and I didn't know if I had been bitten.
The flashlight was still in his hand, and the light swayed with his fierce movements, and I vaguely seemed to see a small black shadow rushing towards the black fox at a very fast speed, and then I heard a miserable cry from the fox.
When I looked again, the fox and the old horse had disappeared into the darkness over there, and I could still hear its incessant screams, but I could see nothing.
Soon, the fox's screaming came to an abrupt end, and the old horse rushed to my side with a flashlight: "Daze, is there anything wrong?!" ”
I am now almost half-lying on the female corpse, still pillowing one of her arms, the whole person is extremely embarrassed, I am disgusted with the corpse under me, but I can't break free, I can't sit up if I want to, I can only look at the old horse with a desperate face.
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay......"
The old horse panted and squatted down to help me, and the female corpse also sat up with me, and the old horse broke her hand hard, and I found that just now, the nails of the female corpse quickly grew more than ten centimeters, and the nails of both hands were entangled indiscriminately, no wonder I couldn't shake it off.
The old horse broke her hand and pulled me to my feet, and I turned my head to find that I had just hit a sarcophagus, and now the female corpse was leaning against the sarcophagus.
Her mouth was even wider than before, and even her teeth became sharp, and I felt a chill in my heart, if the old horse hadn't pushed me here in time and let her corpse transform, I would probably have been bitten directly by her.
"What's going on?" I was confused, "What about the fox, is it dead?" ”
"Dead!" The old horse's voice was relieved, "I finally killed this beast, I didn't expect it to hide there and attack, fortunately it didn't touch the corpse, otherwise the corpse would have changed!" ”
I licked my lips and didn't know what to say, but luckily the old horse reacted quickly, otherwise I would have died.
Lao Ma raised his flashlight and took a picture of the whole tomb, and I found that this tomb was rectangular, and it was full of sarcophagi, one every few steps, at least a dozen.
"It's not bad here, let's send this god away quickly." The old horse looked around and said.
"This, just here?" I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Lao Ma glanced at me and raised his eyebrows: "What, you still want to carry her out as a daughter-in-law?" ”
I quickly shook my head, this female corpse was already terrible enough, and now the corpse has changed halfway, even if I am invited, I will not carry it.
"It's better to choose a coffin than to hit a coffin, since you just happened to encounter this, that's fate, so let's do it."
Lao Ma said very casually, picked up the sapper shovel and was about to insert it under the coffin lid, I quickly stopped him: "If you know who is in this coffin, open it, will it be a corpse?" ”
"The outside may be slaves, it is the people, and the ones inside must have a little status, maybe it is the subordinate maid of the tomb owner or something, in short, they are all buried with them, and the corpse has to be opened to see if it is not."
I was stunned, Lao Ma is obviously such a timid person, why did he suddenly become so bold, if it weren't for this face, I had been looking at it day and night for more than ten days, I really felt that this was another person.
Seeing that I didn't move, the old horse just looked at him stunned and grinned: "I'm so good-looking, I'm stunned?" ”
Your sister, why didn't I find you such a stinky fart before!
I cursed in my heart, as soon as the anger came up, the courage became bigger, I have been thinking about the fox in my heart, now that the animal is dead, there will be no worries, even if the corpse in this coffin is changed, after all, we will not open it all at once, and it will not be able to climb out.
I took out the sapper shovel from my backpack and inserted it under the lid of the coffin, like an old horse.
"One, two, three!"
With the help of both of us, we directly pried open a small slit in the coffin lid, only to see a wisp of green smoke coming out of the coffin and quickly dissipating.
As soon as we straightened up the sappers, a gap two fingers wide opened in the sarcophagus, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen.
We took a few steps back, and there was silence in the burial chamber, and the sarcophagus in front of us was quiet, and nothing had happened.
The old horse raised his eyebrows at me, and with a snort, I couldn't help but "cut" it.
The old horse bent down, picked up a flashlight and shone it through the gap in the sarcophagus, and soon stood up again.
"It's all turned into a handful of bones, and I can't stand up with hormones."
I stepped forward and pushed the coffin lid with him alone, pressing the strength of the whole body, and the coffin lid was slowly pushed open by the two of us.
A puff of smoke and dust floated up, and the old horse raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and soon the smoke and dust dissipated, and a white skeleton appeared in front of him, and his clothes had long been rotten to ashes, and he couldn't tell men and women at all.
"Let's move out." The old horse said.
I've seen zombies and dried corpses, and this kind of skeleton is not a threat in my eyes, but it is still a little difficult for me to move it out, and I think this kind of thing is in my heart.
Lao Ma sighed: "Okay, I'll move, and you will take that girl of yours in later." ”
I knew he was talking about the female corpse, and I kept feeling sick in my heart, this guy was not only bold, but even the lower limit had become lower, this kind of joke he must have been unable to say before.
Is it because it's cooked? I muttered in my heart, seeing that he used to be honest, I didn't expect it to be this kind of person.
The old horse lifted the sapper shovel and stretched it into the coffin, shoveling out the bones one by one, these bones were already rotten, and they completely lost their human form when they touched it, but I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw him "move" like this.
So you can still move like this?
I felt like I had opened the door to a new world, and I felt uncomfortable looking at the pile of bones that he had piled up at random.
"Isn't it good for us to be like this, this was supposed to be someone's coffin."
The old horse didn't stop, and turned his head to look at me: "Why do you have so much, either send her in, or carry her out, and choose by yourself." ”
I shut my mouth and stopped talking, such an old horse made me feel very strange, originally my sharp teeth choked old horse, now he turned into a serf and sang.
The old horse quickly shoveled out all the bones in the sarcophagus, and I looked at the dried corpse, gritted my teeth and hugged it, and quickly put it into the stone hall, as if throwing away a burden, and suddenly felt relaxed.
The two of us came to the other side of the sarcophagus and slowly pushed the lid back, and with a "click" sound, I felt that my heart was relaxed.
The right shoulder really doesn't hurt much, probably the level of bruising, which is completely small compared to the previous level of crusting.
The old horse pulled my collar with a flashlight, glanced at it, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay." ”
The stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground, but there was still an uncomfortable feeling behind my back, and the palm of my hand was even more slippery and greasy, if only I had water to wash it.
But after going through so much, it's a blessing to be alive, how dare I ask for anything else.
We picked up our bags again and walked out of the burial chamber, and the old horse went straight in the same direction, and I followed, and he said that there was the same burial chamber on the other side, and that this was the only way that led to the main burial chamber.
The terrain went all the way down, and finally it turned into a row of steps down, and the humidity around me became heavier and colder, and I felt my goosebumps pop up again.
The stairs were longer than I had imagined, and it seemed that I could not finish walking to the center of the earth, and just when I wondered if it really had no end, my feet stepped on the flat ground.
I felt a sudden light in front of me, and it suddenly lit up, this tomb was not big, even smaller than the one we first entered, but it made people unable to take their eyes off.
In the middle of the tomb is a large sarcophagus large enough to lie down two people side by side, and the sarcophagus has also been covered with salt flowers, but it can still be seen that it is carved with exquisite patterns.
