Chapter 51: The Cave of the Dead

The location that my cousin was referring to was the foot of the mountain behind the Heavenly Burial Mountain, because it was dark and the terrain was steep, I couldn't see what was at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't ask much, and after resting with my cousin on the top of the mountain for a while, I began to walk in the direction that my cousin pointed.

The descent was easier than the uphill, and after about two hours of walking, we finally came to the foot of the mountain behind the Celestial Burial Mountain.

"This is it."

My cousin looked at the hand-drawn map in his hand, then pointed to the location marked on the map, and then looked around with his sharp eyes.

I was not idle, and began to look around, and for a moment I did not notice any difference between this area and other places, and under our feet was a clearing, and there were flowers and plants growing in the clearing, and there was nothing special about it.

"That's not right."

However, when I looked at the flowers and plants, I suddenly noticed an anomaly, and at this time, as if I had discovered something, my cousin also squatted down and pulled up a grass on the ground.

"How is this grass black?"

I looked at the grass in my cousin's hand and felt a little panicked, because I had never seen black grass since I was a child.

Not only that, but in a radius of about ten meters under our feet, after our investigation, all the flowers and plants here are all black.

"What's the situation?"

Looking at the black vegetation under my feet, I suddenly felt a panic, and for a while I even had the feeling of being in the Yellow Spring of the Difu.

The expression on his cousin's face was also very serious, he first looked at the map in his hand, as if he had found something, and then slowly raised his head.

The direction that my cousin was looking at was a large cliff behind the Heavenly Burial Mountain, and as his gaze moved on the cliff little by little, the expression on my cousin's face gradually changed from seriousness at the beginning to a thick shock.

As if I had discovered something, I followed my cousin's gaze towards the cliff, and when I saw the scene in front of me, my heart instantly set off a huge wave.

The scene in front of me is really shocking, I saw that on the cliff, there are caves everywhere, each cave is almost more than one person high, and the distance between the caves and the caves is four or five meters apart, neatly placed, looking at it from a distance, it looks like an air-conditioning landline placed on the wall of the high-rise building.

Because of the light, and the fact that there were a lot of moss and thorns on the cliff, covered up some of the caves, I couldn't be sure exactly how many of these caves there were for a while, but I also had a number in my heart, and there were hundreds of caves on the entire cliff.

"What are those caves for?" I only felt a little tingling in my scalp, and subconsciously asked my cousin next to me.

"Cave of the Dead." The cousin responded, and then said: "A hundred years ago, before the Miao Village in this area disappeared, the custom of cave burial has been maintained here, and we have always thought that the cave burial in this Miao Village is to bury the body in the heavenly burial cave outside, and now it seems that all this is wrong." ”

"You mean, the cave burials of those Miao people back then were all transported to these undead caves on the cliff behind and buried in the caves?"

"Yes." My cousin's gaze moved back and forth over these caves: "It is said that this Miao village has preserved this cave burial custom for nearly six hundred years, and for six hundred years, so many corpses, if all of them are stuffed into the heavenly burial cave, they can't be stuffed at all, not to mention, the heavenly burial cave over there is in the steepest position on the cliff, and it is difficult for ordinary people to transport the corpses there." ”

"This alone is an unsolved mystery in the archives of our Yunnan-Guizhou area, it turns out that those Miao people did not transport their bodies to the Heavenly Burial Cave, but to the undead cave behind the Heavenly Burial Cave."

"In that case, what is the purpose of the heavenly burial cave in front of you? What does the hundreds of undead caves behind this have to do with the heavenly burial caves in front? ”

"No one can say for sure." As he spoke, his cousin had already walked towards the cliff: "The Heavenly Burial Cave is in front, and the Cave of the Dead is behind, and I don't know if there is a connection between them before." ”

"Since the place where the Miao people practiced the cave burial custom back then was behind this heavenly burial mountain, what was the heavenly burial cave used for in front of it?"

"No one can solve the mystery until they enter the Heavenly Burial Cave." The cousin said thoughtfully: "A hundred years ago, more than 1,000 Miao people in this Miao village suddenly disappeared en masse overnight, which must have something to do with the Cave of the Dead and the Heavenly Burial Cave on this Heavenly Burial Mountain. ”

As he spoke, his cousin had already walked to the cliff, he drew the stick knife at his waist, and stabbed it into the rock wall of the cliff, and then the whole person kicked hard, jumping directly to the cliff, he grabbed a bulge on the rock wall with one hand, and pulled out the stick with the other hand, and then stabbed into the crack of another stone above his head.

After a few back and forth, my cousin had climbed to a distance of seven or eight meters above my head, and finally he touched the edge of the bottom of the cave of the dead, and with a strong push, his whole body instantly rolled into the cave of the dead.

My cousin's figure quickly disappeared from the hole, and I stood below and waited for about half a minute, but I never saw my cousin poke his head out, and I was suddenly a little anxious and shouted my cousin's name.

However, there was no response from my cousin above, the howling cold wind blew from all directions, making me feel a piercing chill, and my heart was instantly cold at this time, my cousin was in that cave, it wouldn't be any danger.

"Cousin, cousin, thank you!"

I shouted several times in a row, and the voice continued to echo in the valley, but my cousin never answered, and I finally panicked, and for a moment seemed overwhelmed.

Just as I was trying to climb up the cave to find my cousin, a vine was suddenly thrown out of the cave of the dead, and my cousin's voice suddenly came from above: "Wrap this vine around your waist, and I'll pull you up." ”

Hearing this voice, my tears of excitement were about to fall, just like a resentful little daughter-in-law, reproaching: "Why didn't I respond when I called you for so long?" ”

"It's windy, and I can't hear it clearly in the cave." My cousin replied, and said no more, while I hurriedly wrapped the vine around my waist as my cousin had instructed, and was soon pulled by my cousin into the cave of the dead.

The entrance of this cave of the dead is a slope, and as soon as I was pulled to the entrance of the cave, my whole body rolled down the slope to a position two or three meters below.

I was dizzy for a while, and finally I stopped as if I was blocked by something, and the moonlight outside shone through the hole, just enough to shine a meter or two from here, and when I saw clearly that I was holding the thing, I suddenly felt a tingling in my scalp.

It was actually a carrion, and I shuddered, pushed the carrion away, and hurriedly sat down on the slope.

At this time, my cousin also walked in front of me, and when he saw me so scared, he said with some contempt: "You are also a person who has seen the world now, and such a corpse scares you?" ”

"Isn't there no one in this cave for hundreds of years, how could there suddenly be such a corpse that has not yet decomposed?"

I looked at the carrion corpse for a long time before I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I took out the dragon slaying sword at my waist and squeezed it in my hand, and suddenly felt that my restless mood calmed down a lot.

My cousin patted me on the shoulder, and walked towards the cavern, creaking under his feet as he went.

Because the cave is pitch black, and the moonlight outside can only shine into the hole for a distance of one or two meters, I can't see how big the hole is, let alone what is in the hole.

At this time, my cousin slowly crouched down, and he touched the ground for a while, as if he had touched something, and then I heard a spell in his mouth, and a moment later, a large fire was lit on my cousin's side.

In the light of the fire, I finally saw the cavern clearly, but when I saw everything clearly, my scalp exploded with a buzz, and the cold hairs all over my body stood upside down.
