31. Head burial
I'm really in a hurry. This is a thousand-year-old ancient city, and no one knows how many dangers are hidden in the secret, and how Ali will deal with it as a girl.
Just now, Beard and I had been studying the paintings on the screen, and Ayumi and Feijing were looking at the figurines somewhere else. Except for Ali, none of us paid attention to this girl. I don't know when or where she disappeared.
The beard told me not to be in a hurry, there should be no danger to my life.
My heart was in a mess, remembering that I didn't care about this girl all the way, and I felt full of guilt, and I couldn't live with others.
Beard said that the place here is not big, if there is any accident, it is impossible that there is no movement at all, so where should the big girl rest?
Feijing shouted around from the side, and unexpectedly, there was an echo soon.
"I'm here, you come and have a look. There's something strange about this. ”、。 Ali's voice came from behind a bronze square tripod.
I'm sure it's Ali's voice, that's right, put my mind at ease. It was a false alarm. We walked in the direction where the sound came from, and sure enough, we saw Ali behind Fang Ding. She crouched on the ground, shining a flashlight on something.
The bronze tripod that is not too tall just covers her figure, no wonder we haven't seen her just now.
Ali looked up at us, then pointed to the ground and said, "Look, there's writing on the floor." ”。
I was relieved to see that she was okay, and I crouched down to observe the font on the floor.
I originally thought that I would see an ancient Chinese character, no matter how bad it is, it should be a Chinese character, but what I never expected was that it turned out to be a few foreign letters.
"How is it a foreign text?" I was puzzled.
"Don't write too sloppily, you're wrong," Beard said, leaning his face over.
I said what the fuck are you talking nonsense, I'm a book writer anyway, can't I even tell the difference between Chinese characters and ABC? This is obviously a foreign language, but you still don't believe it.
"It's really a fucking foreign language, which is strange, how can there be foreign words here? Yang Xiaoqi: They shouldn't be so fashionable. If you want to leave a mark, you should carve an arrow, draw a trace, etc., and you won't make these unreliable things so lawfully. "There seems to be some truth in the analysis of the beard's words. Yang Xiaoqi and the character of the dragon tooth really won't leave such a thing.
I said, could it be another group of people, or simply Qi Yuying's stay?
Hu Zi said that it wouldn't be Qi Yuying, they were still behind, and it was impossible for them to suddenly run to the front.
I pondered the same reasoning, and concluded, "Otherwise, it's another group of people." It's been a few years since I looked at the handwriting, and I think someone must have been here before. ”。
It's letters, but I know it's definitely not any word, it's more like a sign or something.
We didn't know what this mark meant after looking at it for a long time, and Feijing said that since we didn't understand, we shouldn't study it, and it was important to hurry.
I told Ali to stop leaving everyone's sight without saying a word, and she nodded yes.
Several people began to walk towards the top of the stone steps. In a short time, we came to the second floor of the palace. What I didn't expect was that there was a room of human heads hanging in here.
At first, I thought I had come to the treasure room of the palace. After seeing it clearly, his face turned blue with fright, and he almost screamed.
Looking at the scale of this place, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, and they are densely hung by a rope, which is not only terrifying, but also a little disgusting.
Beard said that this is a human head burial, a custom in ancient times. It is used for sacrificial purposes. Most of them were the heads of prisoners of war, but some were of children. He had seen a sacrifice in a jar in an ancient tomb, which meant much the same thing. It's just that the head burial in front of me is a little more direct.
Beard pretended to be mysterious, and continued: "Legend has it that these heads must not fall to the ground, otherwise strange things will happen. Be careful, don't touch one, don't hit the evil in case you don't have a warning. ”。
I could hear that this kid was deliberately scaring me, although I knew in my heart that he was joking, but he was not angry, and he walked more carefully.
Feijing told the beard not to talk nonsense and not to look anywhere.
Hu flicked his hands and said it didn't matter.
Originally, I didn't want to go into the human head inside anyway, but I couldn't go because the way to the third floor must be inside.
As soon as I heard this, I secretly grinned. and Ali shrunk in the middle, carefully following the beard in front.
Probably because of what Hu Zi said just now, it had a psychological effect on me, and I always try to avoid those heads when I walk, for fear of accidentally touching one.
The beard didn't care, and as he passed, the nearly dry heads were swaying and stirring together with strange 'clucking' sounds.
Although the space on the second floor is not as large as the first, it is impossible to find the exit quickly because of the crowds around us blocking our view. We had to walk along the cliff and hope to find the stairs to the third floor quickly.
However, something strange happened. We walked around the wall and finally came back to square one, still without any exit.
"At the top?" I'm not sure about asking.
"It's not. The exit is not on the wall. It must be inside some stone pillar inside. Ayumi pointed to the middle.
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and I felt a pang of confusion. I thought I was really afraid of something, and I didn't want to go inside.
There is no order at all for the human head to hang, and I didn't feel it at the periphery just now, but when I entered the inside, I realized that we felt like we were walking in a forest of human heads. No matter how careful you are, you can still touch a few heads.
This journey can be said to be terrifying, and a thick stone pillar appeared in front of it. It took about four people to hold the stone pillar, and there was a small doorway in the middle, without a doorway, and it opened like a hole.
At the top of the doorway hung a head.
After the beard who walked in front saw the doorway in the stone pillar, he turned around and said that he had found it, the entrance to the third floor.
Suddenly.
There was a 'snap' sound, and the head hanging above the doorway fell to the ground. Grunt coincidentally rolled in our direction.
At that moment, the entire second floor seemed to fall silent. Behind us, the slamming head seemed to stop suddenly, and was quietly frozen in mid-air.
This strange change made all of us afraid to act rashly, for fear that any movement would lead to what the beard called 'strange things'.
If it stays quiet, I'm not afraid of anything. But it's so good that we don't die, at this time, there was a sudden 'snap' behind us, and we didn't need to look at it to know that another human head had fallen to the ground.
The sound was like a signal, and the heads around them began to fall with a thunderbolt, and the entire second floor was the same kind of snapping sound.
For a moment, I felt that the voice was a little dirty.
In less than a minute, the heads fell to the ground, some gurgling, some standing quietly.
I asked the beard with a pale face, "It's all on the ground, can you tell me what will happen next?" ”。
No way. I just covered it indiscriminately.
The beard shook his head and scolded.
He said that it should be connected by a thread, and that one fell and the rest followed suit, so there was no fuss.
That being said, in this case, anyone would be weird.
As soon as the beard spoke, something unexpected happened.
The head of the first person who had fallen from earlier actually began to move again. Grunting like a ball. I have chills down my spine when I look at it, what's the matter? Is this still a living?
The rest of the people were also shocked, and Feijing said in the back: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly." ”。
I didn't want to stay here for a long time, so I nodded in agreement when Feijing said this.
"It seems that we can't walk, we have to run." After the beard mouth popped out such a headless sentence, he immediately ran towards the hole in the stone pillar.
We froze in place for two seconds, not understanding how the contrast between the front and back of the beard was so great.
However, he quickly reacted and hurried to catch up with the beard.
It was at the moment when we raised our legs that I remembered a 'buzzing' sound similar to a swarm of bees, and I looked back and realized why the beard was running so fast.
I saw that there were fist-sized things fluttering their wings and flying into the air in the heads.
That's bugs. Don't think about it, just look at the size of the bug and know that it must not be a good stubble.
"What the fuck is this? Breeding base? I pulled Ali and scolded as she ran. Reach out and grab one to see.
The beard shouted without looking back, "Everyone, hurry up and run." This bug is highly venomous, several times stronger than a cobra. I don't want to die. ”。
It is several times stronger than the poison of a cobra, and a bite in this kind of place is a death.
I was scared for a while, I wanted to catch a few and study them just now, but fortunately the beard and mouth are fast. Otherwise, I dare not think about the consequences.
This time we ran faster, and we ran towards the passage of the third floor in a panic.
The bugs were chasing after us as if they were spiritual.
Feijing shouted that the beard was like a solution, and if it went on like this, it was necessary to die.
The beard keeps under his feet, and there is no way to do it, and you don't look at what the amount is, even if you use fire, it may not be easy to use. Rest assured, although this insect is extremely poisonous, it only has ten minutes to live after waking up, as long as we hold on for ten minutes, it will be fine. Don't get bitten, they'll lay eggs in your head.
Ten minutes. If you do that thing in bed, you can say that it is too short. But it's too long for an escape. God knows what will happen in ten minutes, and that's long enough for us to die several times.
I don't think there's a way to run like this, the bug is so fast that it catches up. Just as we were thinking about what to do, the passage had come to an end, and we came to the third floor of the palace.
Empty.
The first thing I felt when I entered the third floor was emptiness. There are only seven coffins in the middle of the huge place.
The moment I saw it, I was sure that it was a coffin, and it was definitely not a coffin.
I was stunned for a moment, and soon the 'buzzing' sound behind me forced me back to reality.
What to do? It's so empty, there's not even a place to hide. Ali shouted.
Beard was experienced and yelled for us to hide inside the coffin.
I groaned in my heart, secretly saying that this is really a genius. Resilience is not covered.
The facts could not give us the slightest time to hesitate, and everyone ran to the coffin. Now I don't care if it's a mechanism or not.,The beard and feet are quick and open four coffins with three strokes and five divisions.,Feijing and Ayumi got into it one by one.,And Ali and I were two people huddled together.。 Beard helped us all close the lid of the coffin before we went into another coffin.
I checked around again to make sure there weren't any crazy people, and then I was relieved. As soon as he caught his breath, he remembered the sound of a thunderclap, apparently the sound of those bugs hitting the coffin board.
If it weren't for the haste of the beard, we would have been bitten to death by that bug. This time it's a life.
Suddenly, Ali grabbed my arm with her hand and motioned for me to look underneath my body. At this time, I realized that there was another owner in this coffin.
I came in a hurry just now and forgot to pull the body out.
I knew Ali was scared of the corpse, and to be honest, I was scared too, but I can't just be scared and die.
I reassured Ali that it was okay, everything was with me. Besides, a man who has been dead for a thousand years has nothing to fear.
"This man is alive." Ali's words made me almost feel the urge to escape.
