Chapter 368: Mass Grave

There is no trace of fighting, if it is really a person like me, not even jade, how can it be possible to know the location of the imperial tomb, or the possibility of "dead people" is relatively high, but the Mo family only sent nineteen people to come, indicating that only nineteen are "dead people", and the other "dead people" have betrayed the Mo family, and after thinking about it, they actually returned to that group of people.

But Brother Shen said that they were dead, I suddenly didn't know who to believe, believe Brother God or believe in my own inference, all kinds of signs indicate that they are not dead, will Brother God be afraid that we will think too much before deliberately lying?

He's not used to lying, and I can clearly detect something wrong every time, but thinking about the way he just looked, it wasn't unnatural in the slightest, and I couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

I shook my head and put all these thoughts behind me, there are so many of us, if he really follows, he must die.

We walked for ten minutes, and the monsters gradually disappeared, not following, they seemed to be confined to this area, the glacial crevasses were getting wider and wider, I saw the traces of rocks under the ice, and the slope we walked all the way down, and now it was deep underground.

The top of the head is no longer a thick crust of ice, but a rock covered with ice, I don't know if this is in the ground or in the hollowed out mountain, after walking for about half an hour, the crack is at the end, the front is open, a huge canyon dozens of meters wide is in front of you, and the rapid wind blows through the canyon, making a sharp strange sound, like a fingernail cutting through glass.

There is wind means there is an exit, we shine to the left and right sides of the canyon, it is pitch black and endless, the canyon is very deep, the flashlight does not shine to the end, Lao Huang picked up a stone and threw it down, the stone fell at the bottom of the valley, made a crisp sound, look at the time is about 80 meters deep, the bottom is dry, there is no water.

The position where we stood was in the middle of the cliff, there was a path less than a meter wide on the left and right, no, it couldn't be said to be a road at all, the rocks on both sides were raised, the mountain wall was sloping, and we had to lean against the rock wall if we wanted to walk over, which was definitely a nightmare for fear of heights.

"Damn, where do you go from?" Lao Huang pointed to the canyon, "Go down?" ”

Brother Shen shook his head, pointed to the path on the left, took out a mountaineering rope from his backpack, tied it around his waist, and handed it to Ah Chuan in the back, Ah Chuan understood what he meant, went around his waist a few times, and handed it to Xiao Qi, he wanted to string all of us together.

This scene is a bit like when I first entered the Fusu Tomb, Brother Shen was able to support me and Lao Huang with the strength of one person, the Mo family was agile, it was impossible to fall from this kind of place, and it didn't matter if Lao Huang and I accidentally got out.

It's not so scary to think about it this way, we have really become grasshoppers tied to a line, or Brother Shen takes the lead, he walks on the edge of the cliff as if he is walking on the ground, but the upper body is slanted towards the canyon, but the feet are steady, if I walk like him, I will definitely fall headlong.

Balance has always been my shortcoming, I don't care about the ugly posture, facing the stone wall with both hands and feet, like a gecko slowly moving, Lao Huang is much better than me, at least not as nervous as me, the stone wall is uneven, there are many holes, it is not difficult to grasp, and it is okay to be able to see behind me with my back to the canyon.

We walked very slowly, my nerves tensed, and soon I was sweating, and the light in front of me suddenly dimmed, and I looked sideways, and saw that Brother Shen had turned a protruding rock corner, where the road had shrunk to nothing, and it was necessary to rely on the strength of my hands and feet to pass.

Brother Shen showed his head behind the rock corner, I looked down slightly, my calves were as soft as noodles, Ah Chuan's hands and feet were light, he grabbed the rock and raised his feet and flashed over, and then a surprised voice came: "Huh? ”

"Ah Chuan, what's wrong?" Nineteen at the end of the line asked.

"There's a lot of blood on the stone here, and there's a bloody handprint," Ah Chuan's voice was raised, and he buried his head in sniffing it, "It's a heavy smell of e-liquid, it's right that person left it." ”

That man really walked the same road as us, and the direction was also outward, and it seemed that the place where he was stained with blood was still ahead.

Xiao Qi also walked easily, I broke the rock, carefully stretched out my feet, Lao Huang and Xiao Qi on both sides stretched out their hands to me, if I didn't grasp it, they would definitely be able to catch me in time, so I was not afraid, I clinged to the rock, poked my head out and stretched out my right foot, only to find that the road on the other side suddenly opened up, three or four meters wide.

A clear bloody handprint was at the height of my neck, and I could smell the heavy smell of e-liquid, the blood had coagulated, but there was a lot of it, and it looked like a terrible paste up close, and I don't know how much blood had to be shed to become like this.

The other side of the rock was covered with blood from top to bottom, forming a palm-wide blood band, except for the bloody handprint, the rest of the blood stains were not so thick, but there were many corners of the rock, and from the size of the handprint, it could be seen that this was a man, taller than me.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became, it was very cold here, and he must wear very thick clothes, if the blood had been able to soak through the clothes and rub so much, his injuries would definitely be so serious that he couldn't go forward alone, but looking at the road ahead, there was no trace of support on the mountain wall, no matter how you look at it, he is an extremely athletic person, even if Brother Shen is so seriously injured, it is impossible to walk through here steadily, there should always be blood stains on the mountain wall.

I've never seen anyone stronger than Brother Shen, and it's impossible to fake Achuan, and the one who came out of here was either a monster, or those blood stains weren't his.

I can deduce that others must be able to deduce, but no one spoke, everyone came, Eleven and Xiaoqi couldn't see the emotion, Ah Chuan and Nineteen looked thoughtful, they knew much more than me, maybe they had already deduced the answer.

"It's really interesting." Ah Chuan smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked.

He seemed to be tempting me to ask, but I didn't open my mouth, no matter what happened to that person, we were not far from the truth, and I had to find out for myself.

The rope was untied, and it was put back into the bag by Brother Shen, even if it was three or four meters wide, I still felt that my legs and feet were weak, and I walked in the innermost part against the rock wall, and we walked along the mountain, twisting and turning, sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, this section of the road was longer than I imagined, and it took three hours to walk.

There was a sharp wind in front, and a stone bridge more than ten meters wide appeared on the canyon on the right, we walked a few steps forward, only to see that on the mountain wall on the left side was a naturally formed wide rock crack, dozens of meters wide, and a string of bright red fluorescence could be seen when looking inward.

They were all the living dead, flashlights shining on, dense, they were attracted by our light, and they all turned their heads to see, slow but neat, even if they didn't pounce, it was not pleasant to be stared at by so many pairs of ghostly eyes.

For some reason, they were all cowering in the crevices of the rock, and it didn't look like there was a ban here, they seemed to be afraid of something.

I turned to look at the stone bridge, and saw that on the other side of the bridge was also a huge rock crevice, wider than this side, and there was no end in sight, and the stone bridge was built roughly, and the stones on the bridge deck were polished to a shiny light, and there must have been people walking here often.

It seems that this is the right entrance, there is a wind blowing through the rock crevice on the left, it doesn't look like a dead end, I don't know why Brother Shen chose a remote path.

"Do you smell it? The smell of burnt corpse oil. Ah Chuan suddenly spoke.

I was startled, and when I sniffed it carefully, I didn't notice that the smell of decay here was very strong, as if it smelled of a corpse, but it was not burnt.

"! Look below! Lao Huang suddenly screamed.

He was standing on the edge of the stone bridge, looking down at the canyon below, and when we walked to the stone bridge, the flashlight converged, and the bottom immediately brightened, which startled me, and I saw that the canyon below was densely packed with corpses.

The corpses are in the form of piles, distributed on both sides of the stone bridge, at first glance, they were thrown down from the bridge, only a dozen meters away from the bridge deck, well preserved, I don't know if they are frozen, but there is no ice on the surface.

Their hair was scattered, all dressed in ancient costumes, dirty and old, but not broken, and at first glance they were the lowest laborers, they had their throats cut and died, and every one of them was, and blackened blood could be seen on their necks.

"These should be the laborers who built the imperial mausoleum, and the imperial mausoleum was directly killed as a burial object when it was completed, tsk, this canyon must be seventy or eighty meters deep, piled up at this height, it's really a big project." Ah Chuan shook his head again and again.

I have chills in my back, how many corpses can be piled up to a depth of fifty or sixty meters, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? I used to feel inappropriate to enter the mausoleum and disturb the dead, but now I don't feel that way anymore, and the ancient rulers don't deserve sympathy at all.

My gaze swept over the faces of the corpses, and I always felt that there was something wrong with them, although it was cold and windy, but it was not cold enough to preserve the corpses of 2,000 years ago so intact, I had the impression that they should have been reduced to bones, and they should not have not even broken their clothes like they are now.

"Ah Chuan, don't you think these corpses are too well preserved?" I asked.

"Really?" Ah Chuan looked at me and smiled, "It's dry and cold here, and it's not easy to rot, so it's not strange to freeze into a dry corpse." ”

"But......" I hesitated but didn't say anything, even the dried corpses should have shrunk into human dryness, although they showed signs of shrinking and drying, they were very new, as if they had been dead for a long time, only six or seven years.

I swallowed my saliva and quickly erased this thought, although I have seen a lot of corpses, but it is still much earlier than the Mo family, it should be a mistake in judgment, after all, I don't understand the impact of the environment on corpses, and Ah Chuan is an expert in this regard.

Except for me, no one raised any objections, and I didn't even open my mouth, so the corpse must be fine, it should just be that I thought about it too much, although the ice was not visible on the surface of the corpse, maybe it had already frozen into a lump underneath.

"It's open here, let's take a break, the smell ahead is terrible." Nineteen walked down the stone bridge and spoke.
