Chapter 9: The Ancient Tomb

The skull's black hole eye sockets stared at Sha Dutian, and Sha Dutian said in a cold sweat: "I'll go, who is so unlucky and dies here." ”

Sha Dutian originally just wanted to see where the spiraling staircase led, but he didn't expect to stretch out a skull, and no matter how calm he was, he was scared into a cold sweat.

Walking up the stairs, Sha Dutian looked at the skull, even if the flesh and skin were completely gone, he could see the fear of this man before he died, his mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of withered yellow teeth, and the moldy white bones exuded a foul smell.

Zhao Ruozhi said cautiously: "Then there is a dead man? In such an environment, there was a dead man, Zhao Ruozhi was really scared, he squinted at the corpse, and his heart pounded and accelerated.

Sha Dutian said: "Yes, be careful that he suddenly stands up and eats you." As he was saying this, he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly he was stunned.

Originally, Zhao Ruozhi mustered up the courage to open his eyes and look at the skull, except for the madness, there was nothing at all, Sha Dutian was so mixed up, he instantly thought of the corpse turning into a zombie, stood up, jumped towards himself, and was so frightened that he couldn't stop retreating.

Zhao Ruozhi shook his head vigorously, his head returned to the scene in front of him, he saw Sha Dutian staring directly at the skull, as if he had lost his soul, he shouted in a low voice: "Old Sha? ”

Sha Dutian said seriously: "You see that this corpse is still wearing clothes, and it looks like it was dressed in the 70s and 80s, which means that it has been decades since he died here." Then, he said with some regret: "Mentally retarded, I know you have doubts about me coming to your house this time, I am actually looking for someone." ”

Zhao Ruozhi didn't expect Sha Dutian to say such things at this juncture, he asked, "Looking for someone?" Who are you looking for? You wouldn't have known about this for a long time. ”

Sha Dutian sighed and said: "I also inquired about the news in many ways, and only then did I know about this place, but it was a complete coincidence that I came in from your cellar, 25 years ago, a group of people disappeared here, and one of my comrades-in-arms told me before he died that his biggest regret in his life was that he did not find his father's bones, and I came to help him return his wishes." ”

Zhao Ruozhi thought to himself: "25 years ago? At that time, I had just been born, how could Lao Sha know this place better than me? Sha Dutian saw Zhao Ruozhi's thoughts and said: "I also learned from an insider that the last place my comrade-in-arms' father went to was Sanfeng Mountain. ”

Only then did Zhao Ruozhi put his mind at ease and said, "No wonder you want to come to my hometown, could it be that the person in front of you is the father of your comrade-in-arms?" Sha Dutian shook his head and said, "No, I thought it was at first, but looking at his figure and dress, I judged that it wasn't." ”

The corpse's chest was slightly raised, and there seemed to be something under his back, Sha Dutian reached out to touch it and took out a backpack. The corpse was flipped over, click, clang, and the skull rolled to Zhao Ruozhi's feet, originally Zhao Ruozhi was standing aside for fear, but he jumped up in fright when he saw the skull rolling over.

Sha Dutian saw the skull fall, and hurriedly said: "Sin, sin, this senior, we are the juniors trapped here, it is really helpless to move your things, and I hope that you adults will not remember the villain's fault, if we can escape, he will burn incense and kowtow to you one day." He opened the corpse's backpack and saw rope in it, a military shovel, and most conspicuously a golden bowl.

Under the illumination of the light, the golden bowl reflects the golden light, and the golden bowl is carved with floral patterns, the carving is delicate, and the tentacles are smooth, like a distant snow-capped mountain.

Seeing that the skull at his feet did not exert a demonic wind, Zhao Ruozhi relaxed a little, and he stepped forward and said, "This person can't be a tomb robber, right?" Ah, is your comrade-in-arms' father a grave robber? ”

Sha Dutian pinned the shovel to his waist and said, "He didn't tell me this, and I don't know very well." He turned his eyes to the direction of Liandong and said, "Why did he die here?" Did he come out of it just like we did? And then what happened? ”

Thinking of the scene inside the cave, Zhao Ruozhi was a little afraid, he said: "I think he shouldn't have gone in, otherwise that mechanical monster wouldn't have embarrassed us, he may have fallen from the top of the stairs, and when he rolled down, his backpack just got stuck on the stairs, so he didn't fall into the passage, could it be that he encountered danger on it, panicked, and suddenly fell?" ”

Sha Dutian took a picture of it and said: "Whether he fell from above, let's go up and see, if he really fell from above, then there must be a way out from above." Sha Dutian stood up, the corpse moved slightly, and something fell on the stairs. Zhao Ruozhi bent down and found that it was a chain, he picked it up, and there was a thing falling on the chain, which looked like a talisman, and there was a word 'Lu' engraved on it.

It seems that the dead man's surname is Lu, Zhao Ruozhi put the chain back on the bones and said: "Maybe there was a major accident here before, and your comrade-in-arms' father is probably still here." ”

There was no light on the stairs, and Sha Dutian sighed: "Let it be, the situation here is complicated, and I don't know where to go above, and when I find out the truth, it's not too late to make a wish." Zhao Ruozhi was stunned.

The staircase spirals upward, and each step is a feldspar inlaid in the wall, and the exposed part becomes a staircase, and there is no gap between the feldspar and the wall, as if it were on the wall. The long stone lies quietly in the air, the exposed part is about fifty centimeters long, one step wide, every time Sha Dutian goes up, he tries to see if the long stone can bear its weight, he doesn't want to become a ghost who died unjustly.

After a meal, they came to the end of the stairs, and at the end of it was an iron plate, which sealed the exit, and the iron plate was horizontal overhead, forming a square, and there was an iron ring at the corner of the iron plate.

Sha Dutian held the iron plate with both hands and pushed it up, he thought that this iron plate could be lifted directly, but who knew that he didn't open the iron plate even after all his strength, and he shouted angrily: "His grandmother's, this iron plate won't be sealed, it's too strong." ”

In the dim light, Zhao Ruozhi saw a ring on the iron plate, and he said, "Lao Sha, you try that iron ring." Sha Dutian then noticed the iron ring, he tugged hard, and found that the iron ring was fixed on the iron plate, useless, he helplessly turned the iron ring, only to hear a click, the iron ring was turned 90 degrees by him, he was happy in his heart, thinking that this time it can be opened.

Sha Dutian pressed against the iron plate again, but the iron plate was like being inlaid on the rock, and it didn't move, Zhao Ruozhi pondered for a while and said: "Old Sha, don't always push up, try to pull it to the side." Sha Dutian felt that it made sense, he tried to pull it, and with a 'boom', the iron plate was opened.

On top of the iron plate was a small space, Sha Dutian stretched out his head to look at the situation outside the iron plate, even if he was bold, he trembled all over, only to see a corpse lying on the iron plate he had just pushed away, and the corpse had already turned into a skeleton.

Sha Dutian thought to himself: "Good girl, you won't run into the coffin." ”

At this time, Zhao Ruozhi asked below: "Lao Sha, how is it, what's the situation above?" ”

Sha Dutian fanned his hand left and right in front of him, trying to fan away the unpleasant smell, he said: "It's like a coffin, don't move, I'll try to see if I can open the lid of the coffin." Sha Dutian's upper body was already in the coffin, he pushed it with his hand, and the coffin lid was pushed off by him, he didn't expect it to be so easy, he thought he would have to toss for a long time.

As soon as he heard that it was a coffin, Zhao Ruozhi felt a chill under his feet, he didn't dare to look at his feet, the spiraling stairs were black holes, for fear that the dead body just now would climb up and grab his legs. Sha Dutian's voice came from above: "Okay, the coffin lid is opened." ”

Poking his head out of the coffin, Sha Dutian casually swept the surrounding environment, there was no danger, and then he jumped out with his hands on the two walls of the coffin. Zhao Ruozhi didn't dare to stay, and before Sha Dutian called him up, he had already poked his head out, and he didn't dare to see what was in the coffin.

This is a tomb, the four walls of the tomb are made of green bricks, the tomb is very simple, only a coffin is placed in the middle, Sha Dutian and Zhao Ruozhi came out of this coffin, there is a stone door directly opposite the coffin.

At this time, the flashlight went out again, and Sha Dutian said: "Grandma, fortunately we brought candles, otherwise it would have been dark." "Candles were lit, and the trembling light of the candles illuminated the small burial chamber.

Zhao Ruozhi said: "The air here is okay, it seems that here and outside are directly connected, otherwise it will be difficult for us to breathe now, and your candle will not be easy to ignite." ”

After looking around, there was nothing else to find, except for the coffin, there was nothing, Sha Dutian bent down and used a candle to illuminate the inside of the coffin, trying to find something in the coffin, but unfortunately there was nothing in the coffin except the corpse, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The owner of this tomb was too poor before his death, there is nothing in the coffin." ”

Zhao Ruozhi only dared to look at the situation inside the coffin at this time, a corpse was lying in the coffin, his clothes had long been turned to ashes, only a pair of white bones and a few strands of hair remained, the hair was very long, it seemed that the owner of the tomb had been dead for many years, he said: "Lao Sha, do you remember the corpse on the stairs, didn't you find a golden bowl in the corpse's backpack, maybe the golden bowl is the burial goods, but unfortunately the person fell to his death and was picked up by you." ”

Sha Du Tian thought for a while and said, "Oh, I see. ”

Zhao Ruozhi said puzzledly: "It should be, I think the person on the stairs inadvertently opened the mechanism at the bottom of the coffin and found the stone steps, since he opened this mechanism, he should be careful, how could he fall down and die?" ”

Sha Dutian said: "Could it be that someone pushed him down?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi also thought of this, and he said: "It's very possible, but if someone pushed him down, for what purpose, why wasn't the golden bowl on his body taken away?" In other words, this is not a murder for money, but for another reason. ”

Sha Dutian shouted: "Mentally retarded, look, there is a hole here." ”
