The top of the chain is wound around the iron cone and embedded in the stone wall bordering the main hall at the edge of the underground palace, revealing the head of the iron cone the size of a tennis ball.

Although the chains were rusted, they could still withstand the weight of me and the fat man.

The second floor of the hall is about five meters above the ground, and the walls of the hall are closer to the cliff as you go up, and a two-square-meter cave is carved out of the stone wall at a height of five meters, similar in shape to the cliff tomb with the coffin of a beast on top of the cracked cliff.

There was an iron bridge between the cave and the second floor of the main hall, and I was the fat man who pulled it up after climbing to this two-meter-square cave.

The iron bridge in front of us was as rusty as the chains, and in fact the distance between the second floor of the main hall and the artificially dug cave was less than two meters.

The entrance to the second floor of the hall in front of us had no door, but was as wide and narrow as the cave where the fat man and I were standing.

I was just about to raise my flashlight to shine a light on the doorless entrance on the second floor of the main hall, when I heard the fat man say in a low voice:

"Xiao Su, I think we should not use flashlights, ghosts and corpses are cunning and ruthless, I am also a new daughter-in-law on the sedan chair, the first time I encountered this thing! Inexperienced! ”

This sentence stopped my next move, dealing with ghosts and corpses, even professionals like fat people have no bottom in their hearts, not to mention that I am the first time I go to the underground palace, and I am not even as good as the new daughter-in-law!

I took out two fire folds from his backpack behind his back, blew hard and handed them to him.

"Act as soon as you see the opportunity, and if you can't do it, you will withdraw!"

After taking the fire fold, the fat man still deployed the next action in a whisper, and then walked in front of me without giving up, and at the same time raised his hand and waved it in the air, meaning to let me follow.

The iron bridge connecting the main hall to the cliff cave was actually a splicing of iron sticks, covered with already somewhat rotten wooden planks, just as wide as the fat man's shoulders. This is related to the immaturity of smelting technology at that time, as if it was a bridge composed of iron chains outside the underground palace. I think this is probably the best way that the people who built this place can think of to preserve it for a long time.

We crept across the stick bridge like thieves and headed for the entrance of the second-story hall of the black hole.

Although the "ever-bright lantern" of the entire underground palace cannot shine into the main hall, it can also penetrate a little through the silk cloth attached to the gap of the sash like a cow's backbone.

The part of the back of the main hall opposite the cliff wall is not sheltered by the candlelight of the "ever-bright lamp" at all.

In other words, the two ends of the iron stick bridge are two visual effects, at the end of the main hall, except for the black hole at the entrance, the outline inside can still be tragically revealed, and on this side of the cliff cave, it is completely plunged into pitch black!

When I followed the fat man and was about to cross the iron stick bridge, and after a few steps to completely enter the second floor of the main hall, he suddenly stopped, causing me to hit his back unprepared, that feeling was like getting into the dough, I never imagined that a person's back could have such rich meat!

The fat man didn't move even after being bumped by me, just turned around and made a silent gesture at me.

"Xiao Su, when I encounter the attack of the "ghost corpse", I will try my best to deal with it, and you take the opportunity to give it a fatal blow! If the enemy can't be beaten, don't we still have "Gamba Bean", one is enough for it to drink a pot! ”

Listening to his whisper, I subconsciously put my hand in my jacket pocket to make sure that the two "Gamba Bean" homemade grenades were not lost, and then I was relieved.

The fat man saw that I was noncommittal to him, turned his head, and took the only short step into the second floor of space.

When I stepped into that space immediately after me, I still remember the sight that appeared in front of my eyes!

The first thing that caught my eye was a hallway, the width of which was the same as the entrance we entered. There are many partitions on both sides of the aisle that run from the ceiling of the second floor to the floor, separating the space from many separate areas. The planks are perpendicular to the aisles and parallel to the wooden walls of the main hall.

This special architectural pattern of "style thunder" is not the most impressive to me, but the real unforgettable picture for me is that in the independent space formed by each partition, there is a coffin, and each coffin is open without a coffin lid!

The point is not so much on these open coffins without lids, but on the color of these coffins. It was all red, carefully painted with an ancient pigment! The inside of the open coffin, covered with a red cloth, isolates everything inside the coffin from the outside world!

The fat man in front of me, after watching this strange spatial scene, just like me, stood in the position he had just entered, staring at the coffins with such bright colors that were taboo in these tombs!

The two of us were stunned in place for ten minutes, and the dazzling red in front of us made this already weird dungeon even more weird!

"I, I said, Xiao Su ......"

Because the scene in front of him was so weird, the fat man forgot to lower his voice, and as soon as he spoke, he immediately covered his mouth, made a silent gesture, and then said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "

I have been in the grave for so many years, I have seen all kinds of strange tombs, this red and gorgeous coffin like that difficult flower, I have seen it for the first time! ”

I couldn't see his face clearly through our modified mask, but I could imagine that he must be just like me now, his face covered with suspicion!

"What would a coffin of this color mean?"

I asked in the same voice that only the two of us could hear.

I really don't know the specifics, but there is an old saying, "the murderous coffin is different color"! We must not be separated for a while, presumably this layout in front of us must be hidden in danger! ”

The fat man suggested.

I nodded in agreement.

We were standing in the middle of the main hall directly opposite the main hall, and the place where we found the "ghost corpse" was in the northeast corner of our diagonal front. That place is separated from us by several partition spaces that are the same as those in front of us, and I wonder if there are such heterochromatic coffins parked in those partition spaces!

"Xiao Su, there are also headless white bones in this!"

As I was looking at how the roof and partition were connected, the fat man somehow walked up to the coffin on our left, and with the head of an extended sapper shovel, he picked open the red coffin that covered the uncovered coffin, revealing the white bones beneath the coffin.

Those bones are exactly the same as the ones we have placed on the wooden bed in the "Ice Cellar" building under the steps of the cloister of the main hall!

"These bones can be determined to be human bones!"

The fat man turned to me who had already walked up to him.

I nodded. Although these white bones do not have heads, judging by the fragmented skeletons and shapes, they are human skeletons.

Strangely, the bones seemed to have been arranged, and each part of the coffin was posed as if according to some burial custom.

The fat man must have also discovered this common denominator, and brought the fire fold to the two arms of the corpse.

The bones of the coffin are the same as those we see on the wooden bed in the "ice cellar" room, with one hand on top and one hand below, and the palms of both hands are in the shape of holding things, but there is nothing in the middle of the palms.

"Xiao Su, this white bone has been sorted out!"

As he spoke, the fat man lifted the fire fold from the palm of his bony hand and held it up in front of my eyes, as if to see my expression.

I nodded, glanced at him, and then continued to bow my head and use the fire fold to shine at what was supposed to be the corpse's head, and pouted at the fat man who was still observing my facial expression!

When the fat man understood what I meant, he looked at the faint light of my fire fold, and then said in amazement:

"This, how can there be a black box?"

As he spoke, he reached into the coffin with the sapper shovel, and as soon as he touched the black box, there was a sound of a ripe watermelon cracking due to too much moisture.

After this voice appeared, the black box actually cracked in an eight-petal way, like Guanyin's sitting lotus.

The moment the box cracked, the fat man bounced backwards with a coordination beyond his size, and even the sound of landing when he landed beside me was so soft that I even suspected that the big fat man had practiced light exercises. But in that tense atmosphere, I didn't bother to ask him if he had really practiced light martial arts.

This voice is very abrupt, although it is not big, but it instantly makes the emotions of the two of us nervous, I hold the fire fold in one hand, and reach into the pocket with one hand to touch the dagger and the "Gamba Bean" grenade in the pocket! The fat man was also nervous and shoveled the sapper in front of him to make a defensive gesture!

We went on like this for about five minutes, and when the black box cracked, there was no second sound!

"Damn it, scare me!"

Seeing that there was no danger, the fat man cursed quietly.

Inside the cracked black box, something we didn't expect was actually the head of the white skeleton inside the coffin, and the whole head was wrapped in a yellow charm, which was exactly the same as the one pasted on the wall above the bone bed in the "Ice Cellar" room!

Then we lifted the coffin in the partition space to the right of the entrance to the second floor of the main hall in the same way, and the white skeleton and the same posture of holding things with both hands were unsurprisingly white, and the black box at the top of the coffin was split in the same way as when a watermelon was cracked, and the head of the skeleton wrapped in a charm!

There are a total of eighteen partition spaces like this for the red lacquered coffin, nine on the left and nine.

The closer we get to the southeast corner where we find the "ghost corpse", the more the skeleton of the corpse in the coffin has a different degree of decay, and the eighteen partition spaces have eighteen different ages.

When we reached the thirteenth partition space, the corpses that appeared were not decomposing at all, and the head wrapped in the spell inside the black box even had a clear facial expression.

"Xiao Su, it's a modern person!"

The fat man beckoned me to come forward.

When I saw the head in the black box, my scalp suddenly went numb, inch by inch, and it was all over my body in an instant!

The still decomposed corpses in the coffin and the head in the box were people I knew very well.

I put on his clothes with my own hands, I put his body in the coffin with my own hands, and then I buried him in the earth with my own hands.

The image had seeped into my blood and bone marrow!

I never dreamed that in such a strange underground palace space, I could see the body of my father who committed suicide two years ago!
