Chapter 219: Martyrdom
Then I suddenly understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to lift the girl's hair to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp, and sure enough, just as I had speculated, the girl's head had been twisted by brute force, and the hair was also combed backwards in front of the face, and it looked as if it was facing away from us.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chuyi's face was already pale with fright, I took a closer look, and found that these three girls were all the same appearance, the back of the head was in front of the head, the face was behind, and the hair was forcibly combed from back to front to cover the face, the whole posture looked very weird, I don't know why they appeared here in such a weird posture, what is the meaning?
After I put down the girl's hair, I only felt that my hands were a little slippery, and when I shone it with a flashlight, I found that it was a layer of wax!
Only then did I react, no wonder the bodies of these girls could be preserved so well after so many years, it turned out that their whole bodies had been soaked in wax water, and a layer of wax film was wrapped around the corpses, forming a vacuum environment.
At this moment, that strange laughter sounded again, and since we were very close to the three female corpses, all three of us were startled as soon as the laughter rang out, and I hurriedly took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
The laughter was infinitely amplified in this corridor, like a thunderbolt, and the scalps of those who listened to it were numb and their hearts were worried.
At this time, Huzi scolded, and then went to pick up the hair of the female corpse, only to see that although the female corpse's face was distorted, her lips did not move, and her expression did not change from what I saw just now, and it was not the female ghost we imagined.
But the sound did come from the bodies of the three women, and there was nothing wrong with that.
At this moment, Wang Chuyi raised his hand suddenly, pointed to the clothes of the female corpse, and said, "Look, what is that?" ”
I hurriedly looked, and saw that where Wang Chu's flashlight was shining, a black beetle appeared, about the size of an egg, with a strange light blue color on its whole body, and a long tentacle on its head, which was shaking constantly.
We have seen too many insects in the tomb of King Liao in Yunnan, each of which can kill people, and now that we see beetles again, the three of us instinctively took a few steps back.
Then I saw that the beetle raised its head, as if looking at us, and the tentacles on its head shook even more, and then the beetle let out a cry similar to that of human laughter.
Seeing this, the three of us were relieved, although we didn't know what kind of creature this beetle was, but we finally knew the source of this laughter, and the three of us cautiously stepped back, although we didn't know if this insect was aggressive or not, but it was better to stay away from it.
After finding out the source of this strange laughter, we were relieved and continued to walk forward, seeing that we were about to reach the end of the corridor, and suddenly found that there was a cliff in front of us, and the corridor was not at the end, but there was a ninety-degree turn, and it continued to stretch forward.
I walked to the cliff, stretched out my hand and touched it, and found that the cliff was uneven, and the feeling of starting was very cold, it was a typical granite, which should be a part of the mountain, it seems that the ancients did not have the technology and tools to dig the mountain, and this ancient tomb was built by relying on the huge space naturally formed inside the mountain.
After passing this turn in the corridor, we continued to walk forward, and found that a lot of human corpses gradually appeared on both sides of the corridor, each of which was like the three female corpses we saw before, all of them were human corpses with their heads twisted to their backs, and their bodies were filled with wax, and these people were in different shapes, looking at the clothes, they should all be employing people, some were walking around with plates, and some were cleaning the corridor with brooms, if you didn't look carefully, you really thought you were in a garden.
It's just that seeing this scene now only makes people feel a chill down their spines, and a terrifying aura spreads.
After Wang Chuyi saw this scene, he frowned and said, "I didn't expect this to be a martyr's grave!" It's cruel! ”
Huzi scratched his head and asked, "What is a human martyr?" ”
I walked forward with a flashlight, and while walking, I explained, "Human martyrdom is that after the death of the owner of the tomb, in order to continue to enjoy the treatment in the underworld, the slaves who served themselves during their lifetime, and the concubines will all be martyred, and it is also a cruel and barbaric funeral system that prevailed from the date of the establishment of the slave system, the most prosperous era is the Yin Shang period, and the martyrs will be found in the tombs of the nobles of the Shang Dynasty. It was found that more than 5,000 people were martyred and killed. ”
At this time, Huzi sighed and said, "Hey, Lao Tzu once fantasized about traveling to ancient times and marrying seventeen or eighteen daughters-in-law. ”
At this time, Wang Chu looked at Huzi and said, "In fact, this kind of system of human martyrdom is too cruel, since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been no more, if you cross the dynasty after the Zhou Dynasty, it should not be a big problem." ”
Huzi smiled and said, "Actually, I want to travel to the Song Dynasty, and I feel that it was good at that time......"
We walked all the way, Wang Chuyi and Huzi seemed to have found a common topic, and they had been chatting through, I listened to them chatting, and I also felt that the atmosphere was relieved a lot, and soon the corridor came to an end, only to see a wooden tomb door appear in front of me.
After looking at it, Huzi said, "Oh, fuck, it's the first time I've met the wooden tomb door, I said Lao Bai, is this tomb owner too underestimating us people who are fighting backwards?" How dare you make a wooden door? As he spoke, Huzi was about to reach out and push the tomb door open, but I grabbed him.
"Don't move, look!" I pointed to the left side of the tomb door, and I saw a bloody handprint on it.
After Huzi saw the bloody handprint, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and after taking a careful look at the flashlight, he said, "Damn, the blood is still very fresh, it must have been left by the ghost mouse Lao Jiu!" ”
When I saw this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and said in my heart, could it be that the ghost mouse Lao Jiu was injured? But after thinking about it, it didn't feel right, we didn't find any danger along the way, but Huzi and Wang Chuyi chatted vigorously.
When I took a closer look at the bloody handprints on this door again, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, this bloody handprints were not ghost rats and rats! Although he is short, his hands are not small, after all, a man's bones are larger, and the bloody handprint on this door has slender five fingers, the whole palm is not big, and it looks very slender, it looks like a woman!
At this time, I suddenly thought that in the tomb before, the miserable white woman's hand that the ghost mouse Lao Jiu grew out of nowhere, faintly felt that something was wrong, could it be that the bloody handprint on this door was left by that hand?
