Chapter 4: The Burial Pit

After a while, I finally felt some regain some sensation in my body, so I tried to move my limbs, my clothes were all soaked, and I took out some spare clothes from my travel bag, but there was no coat, it was too cold in here.

I took a flashlight and shone the surrounding environment, and I felt that it was not artificially excavated, but like an underground river on a hot day, the river water flowed very slowly, very clear, but it was bitterly cold.

Thankfully, there were piles of stones on both sides of the river, and I couldn't walk around, and I didn't know which direction to go, so I had to walk in one direction.

Fortunately, the travel bag is waterproof, and the things inside are not wet, but the jacket is not spare, and I still feel very cold, maybe it is the effect of the bottle of wine just now, and my mind is a little dizzy, but at the moment my heart is a little calm, and I don't know if it is the role of alcohol.

I kept increasing the pace to speed up my blood circulation, so that the cold would be reduced, and I occasionally drank a sip of high liquor, and after a while, my body gradually began to lose numbness.

I was walking, and suddenly I felt a burst of "shuddering" sound behind me, this voice is familiar to me, damn, those red snakes actually chased here, and Lao Tzu didn't provoke you, why are you chasing me.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly straddled my backpack, increased my speed, and ran forward, the stones here were very smooth, I almost slipped several times, after running for a while, I felt a little quieter behind me, I gradually slowed down, let my breathing be more stable.

Just when my speed gradually slowed down, I suddenly found that the road ahead was actually dead, and in a panic, I hurriedly ran over, and found that this road was not dead, but the bottom was very narrow, and the water passed slowly from below, and if I wanted to pass here, it seemed that I could only swim through the cold and biting underground river.

The body that had just eased up was about to enter the cold again, and I couldn't help but feel a little stunned, but the trembling sound behind me gradually became louder, I gritted my teeth, and hurriedly took off the clothes on my body and stuffed them into the backpack.

I took a deep breath, adjusted my breathing, poured a large sip of spirits, and then, a fierce man stabbed down, and the cold and piercing feeling seemed to penetrate into my bone marrow in an instant, and the whole body was frozen instantly, trying to move my body, swimming quickly forward.

In the dark underground river, I seemed to hit a stone, and subconsciously touched it with my hand while swimming, as if it was a stone monument, but this cold made me have no idea to explore anything, and hurriedly passed through the stone wall similar to a gate, kicked my legs hard, half of my body came out of the water, and swam towards the shore vigorously.

On a large rock, I tried to put on my clothes, and regained my stiff body, and after a while finally eased up, picked up a flashlight to shine on the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but be shocked, here...... There were bones here.

"Could this be a burial pit?"

This sentence suddenly popped into my mind, although I am not very proficient in historical archaeology, but my mother is more engaged in archaeological work, and she is also an associate professor of Qinghua University, so I also know and understand a little.

The scene here is indeed somewhat similar to the legendary burial pit, is this actually an ancient tomb? Thinking of this, I suddenly covered my mind, this could not be the ancient tomb that my ancestors had guarded for generations.

Thinking of this, I began to move slowly, trying to get close to those bones, although I have learned martial arts since I was a child, and I am also a master of art and bold, but that is for people, I really see so many dead people's bones, I still feel a little infiltrated, but gradually, I have become a little adapted, after all, these are just bones.

Looking at the clothes on these skeletons, most of them have been air-dried, showing patches of black, or yellow, but there are still some relatively well-preserved, which may have something to do with the environment here, but I can't tell the dynasty of these clothes, but they must have a very long history.

After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see anything, so I decided to keep walking, and now I don't know why, maybe out of curiosity, some of them are not in a hurry to go out, and even have an urge to explore this place.

Holding a flashlight, he began to walk forward little by little, this place like a burial pit is very large, and there are a lot of bones piled up, and after a cursory look, there are at least tens of thousands of people, and they haven't walked out of here for half an hour.

It didn't take long for me to notice that the stone wall next to it was starting to become smoother, and there were some patterns on it in some places, a bit like a charm, and I guessed that it might be something like a demon charm, after all, there is such a large burial pit here, and some charms must be laid to suppress these souls.

I took the flashlight, carefully looked at these charms, and was about to touch them with my hands, when I suddenly felt that something was around, and subconsciously hurriedly turned the flashlight to check, and the surroundings were quiet, only the dense and countless bones.

Looking at the quiet surroundings, I was inexplicably a little afraid, just as I was about to leave here, the sound of rapid movement came out again, and I saw a black shadow passing by, it was definitely a human figure, suppressed the fear in my heart, and thought, whether he is a human or a ghost, do it.

The right hand instantly took out a sharp hunting knife, rushed straight over, the right foot singled out and then on the head of a skeleton, the body flipped in the air, the hunting knife in the right hand danced out of a flower, the black shadow in the moving Zhipu, in a clearing, the hunting knife in my hand stabbed out directly, the person's body was very ghostly, and it was a kind of action that ordinary people could not make to dodge.

I subconsciously froze, this body, this action, how do I feel so familiar, just at the moment I was stunned, the black shadow turned around and grabbed me, a silver light crossed, almost cutting through my clothes.

In this way, the two of us competed, if this person's skills were to fight head-on, I was absolutely confident that I could take him, but his peculiar body style, but it was difficult for me to beat him, there was always a feeling of punching on the cotton, back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, suddenly, he actually spoke.

"Who taught you your martial arts!"

"Huh?" I was subconsciously stunned, I haven't spoken yet, this person is so cunning, when I was about to reply, a palm slashed on my shoulder, suddenly my eyes darkened, and I scolded in my heart: "This experience of walking the rivers and lakes is really important!" This time, it's the way! ”

The next moment, I only felt that my body was a little weak, and I couldn't lift up a little strength, invisibly, as if something smelled into my nose, and I just wanted to sleep for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt my head was very heavy, and in a daze, I heard someone talking, and slowly opened my eyes to see three people around me discussing something.

When they saw me wake up, one of them said to me, "Don't move, you just smelled the clouds, take a moment." ”

See you in the clouds? What was that, could it be the strange smell I smelled at that time? Immediately afterwards, another very burly middle-aged man asked me:

"Where are you from?"

I thought to myself, anyway, my whole body is weak now, and I can't beat the three of them, and it seems that they don't plan to do anything to me, so I said slowly: "Beijing"

After the three of them looked at each other, they were silent for a moment and then told me: "I won't ask you how to enter the Yin Gate, we will take you to a place in a while, you better not resist, we have no ill will towards you." ”

I nodded, and began to slow down for a moment, and after a long time, I began to look around, it seemed to be a cave, with air circulation, and I didn't understand how I had been brought out.

When I was fully conscious, I let the man carrying me put himself down and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"We? Well...... Someone will tell you later. ”

Follow them all the way, it was already dusk at this time, we shuttled through the dense forest, these people seemed to have their own specific route, as they walked, they also told me not to fall behind, be careful of getting lost here.

At this time, I realized that there was something not simple here, it seemed that the arrangement and growth of these trees were regular, rather than growing randomly, forming a labyrinth-like terrain.

"How long do you have to go?"

As soon as I asked this question, the man behind me tapped me on the shoulder, told me that I had to walk for a while, and told me that they usually spend the night outside, and today they met something special, so they rushed back early.

Along the way, the man who took the lead, the seemingly young man who had fought with me at the beginning, told me that if he hadn't appeared in time to stop me, then I would have been doomed, and the road ahead would be very dangerous if no one led me, and no matter how good you are, you can't do it.

I asked him a little strangely why, and he laughed and said:

"A lot of times, your situation has nothing to do with your skills, and those can't be explained."

I was a little puzzled by what I said about this sentence, and I secretly figured it out, but I didn't think about it for a while, indeed, I heard my mother tell me before that many things that happened in ancient tombs could not be explained by science.

These people always seem to want to tell me something, or want to ask me something, but often when the words come to their mouths, they hold back again, making me think that these people are very mysterious, and suddenly, I think of something, and I hurriedly speak:

"Are you the ones who are guarding this place?!"
