20. Hanging burials

This is the voice of the captain of the ship, and you can't be wrong. We sailed all the way to sea, and talked a lot with the captain of the ship, and Beard and I used to steal his drinks. I was still very familiar with this middle-aged man with a southern face, and at least it was absolutely impossible to hear his voice wrong.

When we came down, we invited the captain of the ship and the sailors, but they did not dare to come down, and we were not surprised that his voice could not be heard in this ancient tomb.

The ship boss is definitely not simple, as can be seen from the fact that he can hide from Yang Xiaoqi and Feijing and others.

Judging from the brief conversation between Qi Yuying and the boat, these two people are definitely in the same group. It seems that Yang Xiaoqi and Feijing are still being put together.

We didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of being discovered by the people above. A few people get together and listen carefully to the conversation above.

The ship's boss's voice seemed angry, cursing something constantly. Just now he said 'this person' in his words, and I don't know who he was referring to.

Qi Yuying sighed and said, "Now we can say that we can be said to be grasshoppers on a rope, if we delay any longer, I think the people of the Nine Great Families will come." None of us will be able to leave, and your plans will fall through. Why bother? ”。

It sounds like it's persuasion.

"On a rope? Not necessarily, if I'm not mistaken, if I tell me the whereabouts of the main burial chamber, you'll probably kill me when you get inside. So for the sake of my safety, it's better not to say it, although I suffer a little, after all, my life is a little more important. Anyway, aren't you also one of the nine families. A mocking voice came.

Yang Xiaoqi!

This is really Yang Xiaoqi's voice, and the strange thing is that when I heard that it was him, I actually felt a sense of schadenfreude.

Ah, this kid looked mysteriously like that along the way, and in the end he was overshadowed.

Yang Xiaoqi's words pointed out Qi Yuying's identity, which still surprised me a little. This girl is also a member of the Nine Great Families, which I really didn't expect yet.

Qi Yuying's voice sounded very crisp, although I had never met, I still felt that it should be a beauty. She said, "You can't say that. I have made my position very clear, we are different from those who have betrayed the ancestral teachings of the family. You also know the grievances between you and me, and I never wanted to hurt you. This time, our purpose is only to find the key, and it does not conflict with your purpose. Is there anything wrong with us working together? ”。

Yang Xiaoqi sneered, and finally turned into an arrogant laugh. After laughing for a while, he suddenly stopped, and said fiercely: "Don't say that you also misunderstood when you hurt Geng Yan." ”。

"I really didn't hurt that girl, it was another group of people." Qi Yuying argued.

Yang Xiaoqi snorted coldly, obviously not believing her words.

At this time, the voice of the boss of the ship came again, "There is a door here", and his voice could not hide the excitement that could not be concealed.

"Is this the entrance?" After a while, Qi Yuying asked, and she didn't know who she was asking.

"You can go in and have a look," Yang Xiaoqi's voice sounded.

Then there was a sparse sound from above, as if some people were packing up their gear. About ten minutes later, Qi Yuying's cold voice came: "As you wish, we will go this way." Then again, if there's really danger inside, hopefully you'll get out alive. ”。

After Qi Yuying said this strange sentence, the above fell silent, and the light coming from the crack in the stone had disappeared. Looks like they're somewhere else.

We waited for another cigarette when the soft voice of the flying mirror came "It looks like they're gone." Let's go out and have a look. ”。

After he finished speaking, he began to push the bluestone slab hard, and the moment the slate moved away, there was a great movement. But other than that, there was no other sound coming, Qi Yuying was really gone, and there was nothing wrong with them.

We turned on the flashlight and popped out of the hole to find ourselves inside a coffin that had been opened.

Coming out of the coffin, Feijing began to look around, and even his courage was amazing, and he gasped.

Because there are corpses everywhere as far as the eye can see. The most terrifying thing was that the corpses turned out to be children only six or seven years old, and there was no sign of decomposition at all.

And the coffin we came out of was also a boy coffin. The corpse had been thrown aside, and I thought it should have been done by Qi Yuying's group.

The burial chamber was very large, densely packed with children's corpses. Visually, there must be at least a hundred of them. And the dead clothes are different, some are hanging in one place, some are prostrate on the ground, and some are lying peacefully, which can be described as miserable.

Hu Zi looked at it and scolded: "These children of my mother must have been poured with poison such as mercury and arsenic before they were born, and they used poison to hold the internal organs, so that they would not rot." Damn, this is too miserable. ”。

The two 'mothers' in his words showed his mood at the moment.

I carefully followed the beard, and the scene around me made me shudder, reminded of the terrifying doll forest in Mexico. Under the psychological effect, I always feel that the corpses around me are very strange and terrifying.

Feijing said that these should be the five hundred boys and girls given to him by the First Emperor when Xu Fu went to sea to look for immortals.

If Feijing's guess is true, then Xu Fu's going to sea back then was also a scam, and it must have been a carefully arranged conspiracy. I think it may have been to find the location of the tomb.

Feijing said that the legend of history, Xu Fu could not do such a thing, but then again, no one can prove the truth of history, besides, the history of the Qin Dynasty is not much, let alone this kind of folk warlock-like person.

We searched and talked, trying to find the entrance from the mouth of the ship's boss.

In the southwest corner of the burial chamber, the body of a child sitting cross-legged caught our attention. For in addition to the strange posture of the corpse, behind the corpse was a porch. The porch is so low that adults have to bend over to get through.

Hu Zi carefully studied the porch, and then said to us, "This door was just drawn by the mechanism, I think Qi Yuying's people just discovered it." They must have gotten in here, should we go in? ”。

Beard hesitated a little at this time. I said of course I'm going in, do you want to wait here?

Beard looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the seated corpse, and there was an imperceptible unnaturalness in his eyes. I looked in the eye and asked him what was wrong? Is there anything wrong?

Hu Zi swallowed with difficulty, and then said to us: "Don't say Hu Ye, I didn't remind you. This door looks wrong, it's evil, it's not like a person can walk. ”。

I was also hairy when he said it, looking at the porch that was not half a person high, and my heart was blowing with gusts of yin wind. Ali's face was bloodless from the frightened beard at this time, and she approached my side one by one.

Feijing also looked puzzled when he heard Hu Zi say this. Among the few people, the dragon's tooth didn't react, and it didn't seem to take Beard's words seriously at all.

I scolded the beard not to talk nonsense, and I didn't look at where it was.

Beard retorted, "It's not nonsense. This door is so shivering, it's clearly for these children. How do adults walk through such a door, climb? This is not a thief. ”。

The beard can be described as speechless and endless, and it is really not suitable to say such a thing in this situation. It's terrifying to listen to.

However, there must be a ghost hunter by our side, so the courage was quickly recovered.

Sure enough, Feijing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, if you really encounter a ghost, I'll make you all fine." As he spoke, he pulled out of his stance and walked towards the low door.

Feijing's words sounded very uplifting, and we all started to think about walking through the low doorway.

Unexpectedly, there is a corridor outside, and there will be a wooden pillar a few meters away from each end. The pillar is not thick, only about the size of an adult's arm. Some of them had broken off and were running across the middle of the hallway, slowing us down a lot.

It's very dangerous for us to go in like this, you must know that Qi Yuying and they have just entered not long ago, we have flashlights, and the bright light is very conspicuous in this dark environment. If you really run into them, you will inevitably have a hand-to-hand fight.

This is very contradictory, we want to rescue Yang Xiaoqi as soon as possible, but we are afraid of meeting Qi Yuying and them, but if we want to save Yang Xiaoqi, we will inevitably meet Qi Yuying, and I feel that my head is big when I think about it.

They also took this into account, and he reminded us to take out all our weapons in case of a sudden attack.

The beard and dragon teeth are both spears used, and they are at the forefront of the road. They walked very carefully, stopping from time to time to observe the movement around them.

The front is pitch black, flanked by wooden pillars and stone walls. It seems that some strange sounds can be heard in the dark, but when you look closely, you find nothing.

In a word, this journey is very depressing.

Beard walked to study the wooden pillar on the side, and I had actually noticed something hanging from the top of the pillar. There are them on almost every pillar. It's weird to be fluttering.

We looked at it for a long time and didn't know what it was, but the beard said that it might be a lantern on it, which was used for lighting back then.

I don't think it's as simple as he says, and I always think there's something weird hanging on it. Maybe it's the circumstances that make me a little suspicious.

Those who fell crookedly on the wooden pillars in the hallway, some of them also had this kind of wrapping. When we got to a slightly low wooden post, Beard finally didn't hold back his curiosity and said to open one and take a look.

This proposal was immediately opposed by Ali, but at the same time supported by me and Feijing. Seeing that there were two people supporting him, the beard came to his senses, and he climbed up a pillar with a sharp sword, and then took out a dagger and cut the rope from which the package was hanging.

There was a 'pop' sound, and a cloud of dust rose all around, and the flying mirror and I covered our mouths and noses and began to unwrap the package.

The package was so tightly trapped with a cow tendon rope that I struggled to get it open, but when the package was opened, I was immediately so frightened by the contents that I almost jumped up.

It was a corpse, a lifelike corpse. The corpse's immature face indicates age, the same as a child. I looked at it with a frown, could it be that there was a child's corpse hanging on every pillar?

When the beard saw the corpse, he was also puzzled, and he took three packages in a row, and sure enough, it still contained the child's corpse.

This kind of scene can't be easy, the number of burial chambers is already amazing enough, and there are so many here at this time. This scene is a bit of a grudge.

An inexplicable karmic fire began to surge in my heart, and this was truly outrageous. , when I enter your main tomb, I must kick the corpse of the tomb owner a few times.

They don't have as many thoughts as I do, but they are also muttering. "Kill it, kill it, why are you still hanging sausages? Could it be that the owner of the tomb had a penchant for eating air-dried human flesh? ”。

Feijing scolded on the side: "What kind of sausage, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." This is a funeral custom that is still present in Guangxi, China. ”。

Hearing him say this, I was immediately interested, and let Feijing continue.

Feijing bowed to the child's corpse, and then said, "I don't remember what kind of nationality is in Guangxi." The people of the clan believe that the children are picked up and dropped off by a goddess of flowers. Therefore, when the child is five or six years old, a sacrificial ceremony to reward the god of Hua Po is held, which is called "returning flowers". If the child dies before the flowers are returned, it means that the child's soul has returned to the god of flowers and is ready to be reincarnated. In order for them to be reincarnated smoothly, deceased dolls are generally "buried".

The common practice is to dress the dead baby, put it in a dung basket or dustpan, cover it with a cloth, hang it on a branch near the village, and then tie it with a rope and let it be devoured by wild beasts and birds of prey. This is a kind of tree burial, not some kind of hanging sausage as you said. ”。

Feijing's words made us suddenly realize, I thought about it carefully, I did hear about the tree burial, but this is the first time I have encountered this burial.

Seeing that we didn't speak, Feijing continued: "However, according to legend, Xu Fu should not be from Guangxi, how could he use this method of entering Tibet. Could it be...".

What is it? I asked.

Feijing's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said two words mechanically - conjuring!
