Chapter 16: The Land of Sin and Blood
On the stone platform, there is a deep hole dug out, the bottom is pitch black, and the air carries a strong smell of plates.
A dilapidated iron ladder stretched down, looking quite frightening, Er Mazi looked solemn, and said to the eldest and second: "Protect Jiang Sheng, if something happens to him, you two don't need to come up." ”
The eldest and second nodded indifferently, as if there was nothing in this world that could arouse their interest, and I had to wonder what the origin of these two people was.
Subsequently, Er Mazi took a flashlight, these years, there are big families with flashlights, I am quite unusual.
After some preparation, the boss went down first, lit the prepared lantern and candle, and all of a sudden, the bottom was clearly visible, but the excavation was a little rough, uneven rammed earth, about more than 20 meters deep, higher than a three-story building.
I looked back at Er Mazi, why didn't this guy go down and let the two old men die, but I didn't want to think about it, so I had to go down the ladder.
When I got to the bottom, there was a passage in front of me that was only about one meter high, and I didn't know how deep it was.
The second brother said behind me, "Don't talk about anything you see later." ”
I think he's so serious, and I'm curious, if there's anything wrong here.
Since I experienced what happened to Prince Chen, I know that there are some things in this world that cannot be measured by common sense.
The passage was very quiet, the boss opened the way in front, and the rammed earth under his feet looked unusually smooth after years of polishing.
Walked about a hundred meters, at this moment, there was a sudden white light in front of me, at first I was quite curious, what is the matter with this white light, take a closer look, and suddenly frightened the soles of my feet.
The white light turned out to be a skull hanging on the wall, and there was a white liquid in it, which only emitted white light when ignited.
"Boss, what is this?" I asked curiously.
"Bai Lingzhu is a royal treasure from the Western Regions, but it has been too long and has melted." The Boss explained.
It seems that this is really a royal treasure, I was nervous all of a sudden, and at the same time quite excited, royal treasure, how many people in this world can touch it.
The passage in front of me is much straighter, and I don't have to bend down to walk anymore, after I walked out, I looked at the white jade steps under my feet, smooth and delicate, although hundreds of years have passed, I can still see a trace of human shadows.
It's very bright here, and at the back, after the second child came in, he sprinkled some white powder on the back, and at first I didn't understand what it meant, but then I learned that this is called the mourning three doors.
It is the custom of touching the golden lieutenant, entering the tomb and sprinkling some rice flour to show respect, of course, this is all false.
Ahead, the boss was still silent, he walked to a stone door and beckoned to me.
"You reach in." The Boss said.
"What, you told me to put my hand in the stone door?" I was suddenly unhappy, Lao Tzu has a lot of strength, but not everything can be solved.
"It's not a stone gate, it's a human skin." The boss said, stabbing lightly with a knife.
What is terrifying is that the knife actually pierced into the stone door, which was very light, and when it was pulled out, the small hole actually healed automatically.
I was dumbfounded, could it really be human skin, but it was too similar.
Later, the second child came up and said that when he first came in, it was because he was too confusing that many brothers died, and this human skin was highly poisonous.
My whole body trembled, and I suddenly looked at the boss angrily, didn't this make me jump into the fire pit, a highly poisonous human skin wall, what are you kidding.
"Jiang Sheng, you inherited the Yin Technique, and there is something in your body." The boss has sharp eyes, but he can see that I am abnormal.
To be honest, I'm also quite confused, why can I not invade all kinds of poisons, no way, the two old men are staring at the side, just waiting for me to do it, so I have no choice but to step forward.
Without any hesitation, as in the gray fog before, I reached out and entered, only to hear the sound of my skin bubbling, my body tightened, fortunately, I did not encounter any danger.
The boss actually smiled at this time: "After waiting for so many years, it seems that there is really a chance to go in." ”
I was puzzled, "You two have been here for decades, you can't even crack this, right?" ”
The boss was immediately embarrassed, and didn't say much, it seems that these two old men are not good, they have not even entered, so in this way, the depths of this tomb must still be well preserved, and I became the first person to eat crabs.
"You go in and see if you can close this human skin wall." The Boss spoke, then handed me the flashlight.
I had no choice but to take it, then take a deep breath, and slammed into the human skin wall, as soon as I entered, the fragrance of the plate became stronger and stronger, I frowned, and it was pitch black in front of me, which was different from the outside.
Under the light of the flashlight, I could faintly see a series of shadowy things, like people and animals, and my scalp was numb.
It was very quiet, and I could hear the sound of people's heartbeats, so I cautiously took a few steps forward, and only after making sure that there was no danger did I move slowly.
At the same time, touching both sides with my hands, the whole person walks against the wall like a toad, and people are born with a fear of darkness, and I am naturally no exception.
I walked like this for about five minutes, and all of a sudden, I touched the wall next to me with my hand, and my whole body tightened, and my body stiffened.
"Good...... It seems to be a person. "My scalp was numb again, my hands were shaking and groping up and down, and suddenly I cried, it seemed to be a woman, and my hand seemed to be touching where it shouldn't be.
Although I am only a teenager, the babies in the mountains are all precocious, so I naturally know it.
I moved slowly with a flashlight, and under the light, I clearly saw a human face, a woman, a delicate and beautiful woman.
Wearing a cheongsam, wearing a phoenix hairpin, a fair face, the whole person is embedded in the wall, and his eyes are closed.
The woman was beautiful, she had a classical beauty, but she seemed to be dead, and I was relieved that she was a dead person, so I wanted to keep going.
But suddenly, my footsteps stopped, no, even if this woman is dead, she should have turned into a skeleton, why is it still so lifelike, and besides, when I first touched it, it seemed to be quite elastic.
By all indications, the woman was not dead, and I was so frightened that I hurried to look again.
This time, the woman opened her eyes and stared at me all the time, her eyes calm and deep, but I was furious, and I took a step backwards with a thud.
"Save ...... Help me! The woman screamed in pain.
I realized that the woman seemed to be trapped on the wall and could not get out, only half of her body, and her whole face was distorted, and at the same time, my feet suddenly went soft, as if I had stepped on something again, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly looked down.
At his feet, human skins knelt on the ground, and the human skins were filled with maggots, wriggling, which was terrifying.
What the hell is this place, I was already at a loss, and I immediately regretted it, and at the same time, I saw a wooden sign next to it, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
The sign reads a line of words "Ten Generations of Sinners", four words of vicissitudes and simplicity, and it looks like it has been around for some years.
What does this mean, are these kneeling skins and the women on the wall all sinners, vaguely, I seem to be aware of a conspiracy.
I couldn't stay in this place for long, I thought I had to leave, but I was very curious, and I decided to continue exploring, and after ten minutes or so, I found a mechanism from the wall and pressed it lightly.
There was a click, and behind them, white light shone in, and the eldest and second walked in, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they were very shocked.
Here, it seems to be a cave, but it is very small, like a secret room, on the mountain, dozens of people are trapped in the wall, and the ground is covered with kneeling human skins.
When the two of them talked about this scene, they were surprised and didn't know what to say.
When I saw it, it seemed to be the end of the road, and there didn't seem to be any treasures, so I was suddenly unhappy.
"Where's the treasure?" I asked.
"This ...... It doesn't seem to be the same as what Er Mazi said. The boss was surprised.
Looking at these two old men, I knew that I had been pitted, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, and Er Mazi walked in from behind.
As soon as I saw it, I immediately understood that this guy had already known about this place.
"Yes, there is no treasure here, not a tomb, but a place where sinners are buried." Er Mazi smiled bitterly.
"What the hell is going on?" I couldn't help but be curious.
There were a lot of corpses on the walls, they all seemed to be conscious, some were still alive, some had turned into skeletons.
Er Mazi's eyes were glazed, and he looked at the corpses on the wall with a sad expression, as well as the human skins on the ground.
