Chapter 305
As we passed by the torii, we were startled by a sudden clatter, and a corpse suddenly hung down from it.
However, it can also be seen that after the erosion of the years, these hanging ropes hanging on the necks of dried corpses have rotted, and it is normal for them to fall suddenly.
Knowing that there could be no living people in the buildings in front of us, the two of us somehow unanimously lifted the life-breaking pipa and corpse bell in our hands, and shuttled carefully through these buildings.
As I walked, I looked at the ancient buildings around me.
Not to mention the people in this place, because there is no light of day all year round, there is not even a single tree or grass, and there is no grass to grow, and nothing can survive in this place.
The surroundings were quiet, there was a dead silence, there was not even the sound of the wind, in this enclosed space, there could be no wind.
Only when walking, my feet make a knocking sound when I step on the bluestone slab.
After walking a dozen steps, I observed a private house and suddenly whispered, "Wait a minute! ”
Zuo Tianmei stopped abruptly when she heard me say this, and watched me walk into a private house.
The door of this dwelling had long since decayed, and when I pushed it gently, it shattered and scattered like a puddle of loess, raising a cloud of dust.
I walked through this bronze door and inside.
It turned out to be a building that appeared to be the size of an ancient inn, with a total of six tables spread around the living room.
Suddenly, I saw a person sitting in front of a table in the corner, with his back to me, and although I knew that it might be a dead person, I couldn't resist my curiosity and walked over to take a look.
Sure enough, when I got closer, I saw a person sitting in front of the table, with his back to me, dressed in ancient clothes, the gray-black clothes were covered with dust, and the hair accessories seemed to be the image of ancient chivalrous men seen in the movie, and it looked like a young man.
I stepped forward and carefully picked up the Nepali scimitar and gently picked at the corpse.
Suddenly, there was a click, the corpse fell backwards, the bones fell to the ground, and there was a piercing sound, I looked at the ground coldly, and sure enough, it was the corpse of a man.
It turned out that the man was holding a rusty iron sword in his arms, and he didn't know how he died.
The man was armed with an iron sword, empty eye sockets, and a black and purple face, hideous and terrifying.
I have seen a lot of dried corpses in the Crystal Cave of Time, but I don't think it is terrible, I approached the corpse of this man, picked up my shirt, examined it carefully, picked up the iron sword, and found that the iron sword was so rotten that it broke when I touched it lightly on the ground.
Zuo Tianmei walked to the door behind me at this time and asked, "Senior brother, how is it?" Did you find anything? ”
"I found a dried corpse! It appears to have died unnaturally, but no visible wounds have been found on the person's body. I shook my head and said.
Zuo Tianmei said: "What happened here, every thing reveals an indescribable evil, and it can't be explained by science at all!" Even as a corpse chaser, I'm confused, can you see that? How the hell did that person die? ”
I frowned slightly, and said, "It's very strange that this man doesn't have any wounds on his body, and it doesn't look like he has a plague, but it looks like he died suddenly while drinking!" The man held a sword in his arms and a wine glass in his hand, as if he was drinking before he died! Suddenly killed, it is estimated that even the deceased himself did not expect. ”
Zuo Tianmei sighed and said: "It's been too long, I can't find any clues, anyway, I don't care about our affairs, let's go!" Check out the other buildings! It may be possible to find valuable finds. ”
"Senior brother, there is a huge palace in front, it looks like the home of a rich man in ancient times, let's go over and take a look! If you're lucky, you'll be able to find some valuable clues. Walking about a few dozen steps along this street, Zuo Tianmei suddenly said to me at this time.
From a distance, the mansion near the city gate in front of you occupies a really large area!
The size of a football field, the mansion sits in the very center of these ancient complexes, close to the walls of the imperial capital, surrounded by walls more than five meters high.
The entire wall was carved from the crystal of time, emitting a dark red light, and Zuo Tianmei and I walked around this mansion and finally found the location of a bronze gate.
Looking closely, the bronze gate was wrapped in a layer of copper skin, but the inside was made of wood, but it was already rusty, and the wood had long since turned to dust.
The bronze door closes in the middle, and there is a bronze lock outside the door, which seems to be opened only with a key.
I saw that this bronze door was rotten so badly that I wanted to go up and kick him open, but I was stunned with a loud bang, and the whole bronze door collapsed and scattered to the ground.
I withdrew my hands and feet, and said to Zuo Tianmei with a wry smile: "This thing is about a long time, rotten and rotten, no different from paper paste." I just don't know who lives in this palace? ”
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up to see the location of the plaque on the front of the palace door.
In fact, in ancient times, all the princes and nobles in the mansion, people with status and face would hang a plaque.
For example, my surname is Liu, and I live in this mansion, which is either called Liu's Mansion or named after my title.
However, I did not find any plaque at the entrance of this mansion, nor did I find any markings.
At this time, I didn't have time to think about it, so I untied the corpse bell, cautiously became vigilant, and entered this palace with Zuo Tianmei.
When I stepped into it with one foot, a large number of large and small palace attics appeared in front of me.
Most of these lofts on the periphery are relatively low, and it seems that they were specially built for the living quarters of the subordinates.
These palace attics are layered on top of each other, gradually extending from the outside to the inside.
I calculated a little that this kind of building specification is very much in line with the ancient architectural style, in the ancient feudal society, pay attention to a strict hierarchy, the highest and largest in this huge mansion complex is naturally inhabited by the owner of this mansion.
Such a complex of buildings is very much like an ancient royal palace.
Zuo Tianmei and I looked around curiously as we slowly advanced towards the interior of the mansion.
