Chapter 64: The Temple Ghost gasped
Curious, I went over and found that there were countless fingers in the coffin, including the middle finger, thumb, ring finger ......
The fingers were soaked in blood, as if they had just been cut off from a human body. One by one, they look like worms.
Hu Zi wondered on the side: "There are at least a few hundred fingers in here, is it a joint burial?" ”。
I asked, bury your fingers together? The joint burial is all for men and women. These fingers obviously can't be one person, could it be that hundreds of people are buried together?
We pondered on it for a long time to no avail, and then looked at the stone statue opposite, where the stone statue also had a coffin in its mouth, and it was the same white coffin as this one.
However, the coffin had been opened, and the lid had been turned aside.
I looked over there and asked Beard if I wanted to go over and have a look.
The beard said no, these two are corresponding, and there is no need to go again. Surely also the fingers of a coffin.
The two of us searched the stone statue again to make sure that we found nothing, and then returned to the ground, and when the beard told us about the situation, we were all confused.
The Tibetan mastiff girl said: "Perhaps, there should have been a war here, and the corpses of those people will not have time to be buried, so they will take a representative thing on their bodies and make a clothed mound." ”。
Wu Kai held a different opinion, he said that there was no need for hundreds of people to be crowded into a coffin.
The Tibetan mastiff girl said that perhaps at that time, the national strength was limited and everything could only be simplified, and besides, if it was for the ancient warriors, there would be nothing wrong with burying them together. In ancient times, when leading troops to fight, the dead were piled up on the spot, or buried, or burned. And the fact that this place is a well-dressed mound is enough to show that the status of the owner of these fingers is definitely not low.
I think there's some truth in what she said, and that's how most people who die on the battlefield deal with it. I knew that there was a dead man's ditch in the northeast, which was used to pile up corpses when Genghis Khan attacked the Jin Kingdom, and these corpses were very likely to have plagues if they were violent corpses in the wilderness, which was also a way for people to prevent plagues at that time. I heard that the dead man's ditch was haunted at night, and the sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse could often be heard echoing at the bottom of the ditch, and no one could tell whether it was true or not. These are just legends.
We've been here for half a day, and seeing that it's time for the sun to set again, we need to find a place to spend the night as soon as possible.
The Tibetan mastiff girl said that the wind may still rise at night, and it is best to find a sheltered place to rest well.
We packed up and headed for the ancient city in front of us.
I don't know how many years this castle has been here, and the strange thing is that although the city walls are dilapidated, there are not many signs of weathering.
Liu Yan said that this may be because this place has been buried under the sand, or maybe it was the strong wind last night that 'washed' it out, so the weathering is not very serious.
The city is full of stone buildings, some low and dilapidated, some very tall.
The Tibetan mastiff girl pointed to the tallest building in the city and said, "That should be the place where the imperial power of Yingloulan is located, and we will go there tonight."
We headed for the tallest building, and the Tibetan mastiff ordered two dogs to run towards it first.
We followed unhurriedly behind, and I saw this dilapidated and desolate ancient city, and thought that these leaking buildings should be the most majestic of those years, and I don't know how many houses were buried under our feet.
Those two green wolf arrows rushed out, many times faster than we don't know. Beard smiled, these four legs are faster than our two legs.
As soon as the words fell, suddenly there was a barking dog in front of me.
It was like a thunderbolt on the ground, and the dog barked extremely viciously. I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the Tibetan mastiff girl's brows were deeply locked, and the beard asked her, why did your dog bark so fiercely?
The Tibetan mastiff girl said: "There is danger ahead, everyone be careful." As he spoke, he drew the dagger on his body and ran in the direction of the barking dog in front of him.
Beard scolded, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun from his backpack, and chased after him.
My Miao knife is still on the body of the Tibetan mastiff girl, and I can't care about it at this time, so I run there with them.
The dog barked next to the largest building, and when we chased after it, the Tibetan mastiff girl had already made peace with her two green wolves, and was watching around warily.
I looked around and there was no one and asked her what was wrong, what was there?
The Tibetan mastiff girl said: "It's the corpse, and now it's gone." ”。
The beard frowned and said, "Which corpse?" ”。
The Tibetan mastiff girl glanced at him, probably sensing that the danger was over, and put the dagger in her hand back into her waist, and replied, "The one we followed." ”。
I was surprised, "You mean... The ghost? ”。
The Tibetan mastiff girl nodded, glanced at the stone building in front of her, and said, "It's not just one, there were two people standing there just now." And the other is the old professor in the eight-person squad. Tonight.... Be careful, this is the nest of those things, and we may be in danger. Also, until now we haven't found anyone in the first echelon, I think they must be hiding somewhere. Over here.... Insecurity! ”。
I gasped and said, "You mean, that old professor has become that kind of 'ghost'?" "I'm not sure about it, you know that the old guy is guarded by eight men.
The Tibetan mastiff girl nodded very surely, which was an answer.
Hearing her say this, I was worried about Qi Yuying's comfort, and I didn't know if Feijing could protect her.
I glanced at the building and said, "It seems that we need to find the first echelon of people as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to cope with these things."
Liu Yan hit me on the side and said, even if you find them, it won't necessarily be of any help.
I glanced at him, and now I finally understood why Beard had always hated him, this guy was so ugly. Gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Definitely not, there is a ghost hunter Taoist in the first team, who is the enemy of these ghosts." ”。
The Tibetan mastiff girl was surprised on the side, "Ghost hunter Taoist? ”。
This is the first time I've seen her leak a surprised expression, and she nodded, what's wrong?
She quickly reverted to a poker face, shook her head coldly and ignored me.
Bearded with a shotgun, he looked at the building in front of him and asked, "How do you get in here, there is not even a door?" ”。
Wu Kai patted him on the shoulder and said, "This door is under the yellow sand, why do you want to knock on the door?" ”。
Beard smiled awkwardly.
The windows of the building are blocked by several stone bars. It is impossible for a person to go directly into it.
I used Wu Kai's sapper shovel to break the stone bars before I was able to get in.
This is a hall, probably the top floor of the building. There is not a lot of sand in the hall, and I wonder why these buildings have been buried under the yellow sand for thousands of years, but the inside of the buildings is not filled with yellow sand.
The temple is large in size, with an arched top, supported by eight stone pillars on each side, and a staircase three or four meters wide stretches down against the wall.
Although it was daytime, it was still very dark, so we turned on the flashlight and looked around to make sure there was no danger before everyone returned to the staircase.
The bottom of the staircase was dark, and the light of the flashlight could not illuminate the road ahead.
The Tibetan mastiff girl said, the stone here must have undergone special treatment, which has the effect of absorbing light, and our flashlight is still not enough to penetrate in such an environment.
Beard said on the side, the big sister is not strange about the stones here, but ......
And what? I asked.
Beard suddenly asked something that made us feel creepy. I only heard him say, "Have you ever heard of a ghost panting?" ”。
