Chapter 46: Ghostly Footsteps

So many half-cut corpses were at the mercy of copper sticks in this small space, but it was not crowded.

They move differently, some hold brooms as if sweeping the floor; Some carry copper plates with jade, in the shape of fruits; Others sit at the stone table and do the posture of grinding ink......

These people were supposed to be the personal servants of the tomb owner before their deaths, and were treated as funeral objects to accompany the owner to sleep forever in the ground, and they also had to take care of the master's daily life when they went to the underworld.

Aside from these bodies, I didn't find anything else in this left room.

I took a few steps back, reached the cave, turned around and put my hands on the edge of the hole, pushed it up, and flipped out.

Shen Dali had already waited, and when he saw me coming out, he hurriedly supported me to prevent me from falling.

Zhang Yi asked anxiously: "Those are all corpses?" How do you look like a living person? ”

I waved my hand and motioned for everyone to get out of the cave first.

The sweltering temperature was a bit unbearable for me, and I desperately needed fresh air right now.

The three of us crawled out of the thief hole diagonally downward, and met Yang Qing, who was anxiously squatting on the edge of the cave.

When Yang Qing saw us coming out, she hurriedly got up to make way, and when we came out, she asked me about the following situation.

I took off my mask and took a deep breath of crisp air.

The small raindrops crashed against me, making me feel very comfortable.

"I didn't go deeper, I just looked in the left room, and there were fresh corpses inside."

Yang Qing was taken aback, and asked very nervously: "Fifth brother, can you tell which dynasty it is?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Looking at what they are wearing, it feels like they were from the early Western Han Dynasty." However, the clothing habits of the early Western Han Dynasty inherited from the Qin Dynasty, so I am not sure. ”

Yang Qing bit her lip and hesitated for a while, then raised her head and said to me with a resolute face: "Fifth brother, I want to go down and have a look." ”

"It's stuffy down there, I'm afraid your body can't handle it."

Yang Qing was silent for a while, then took out a bag of biscuits from her backpack. She tore open the package vigorously, stuffed the biscuits into her mouth in three or two bites, chewed them indiscriminately and swallowed them, and then said to me, "Fifth brother, I'm ready." ”

Shen Dali was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Yang Xiaomei, we have lost too much, I don't agree with you going down to take risks." So, I'll take all the pictures and show them to you when they come out, and you can see if this will work. ”

Yang Qing shook her head vigorously and said to me repeatedly, "Fifth brother, I'm ready." ”

I know that this little girl seems to be weak, but in fact her personality is very strong, very stubborn, even if I don't allow it, I can't guarantee that she will secretly follow us after we go down.

"In this way, let's look at what Zhao Ye means, and ask Xiang to know the blessings and misfortunes. If there is really a great risk, I don't think Zhao Lao will agree to you going down. ”

Yang Qing's eyes lit up, nodded vigorously, and then quickly took out Zhao Ye's box of incense from his backpack, opened it, took out three sticks of incense, and handed them to me.

I took the incense, pulled out my lighter, and began to light it.

I don't know if it was because the mountain wind was too strong at night, or because of the drizzle, I tried a few times, but I couldn't light the lighter.

I walked to the outer wall of the Kuixing Tower, squatted down to block the wind, and continued to try to light incense, but although the lighter was lit, the incense said that it would not be lit.

Could it be that the incense is damp?

I got up helplessly and shook my head at Yang Qing, who was looking at me.

Yang Qing hurriedly said: "If the incense is not burned, it means that Zhao Ye has acquiesced." Fifth brother, you can't talk and don't count. ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, not knowing how to proceed with the rebuttal.

Dealing with women is a real headache.

Yang Dali hurriedly said beside him: "Fifth brother......"

I waved my hand, interrupted Yang Dali's words, and said helplessly: "Okay, after you go down, you must follow us." ”

After comprehensive consideration, I decided to agree to Yang Qing.

Since there is no guarantee that she will not go down, I will try to ensure that she is by my side, and if something happens, I can protect her in time.

I glanced at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it would not be long before dawn.

According to the rules of the industry, the tomb must be released before dawn.

Daytime is the world of the living, and we can no longer stay in the tombs that represent the world of the dead.

After putting on our masks, we went down the robbery cave one after another, and then successively arrived at the left room of the ancient tomb.

Although Yang Qing had a certain amount of psychological preparation, she was still frightened by those half-cut corpses. However, after she screamed, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she ran to a corpse with great interest, carefully observing the clothes it was wearing.

"Fifth brother, looking at the clothes of these people, it is a bit like the pre-Qin period. After the Han Dynasty, the burial of the living was abolished, so I don't think these people were from the Han Dynasty. ”

The ancient tombs of the pre-Qin period, and have such a large scale...... I suspect that there is a high probability that there is a royal tomb here.

However, instead of being agitated or excited, I suddenly felt a little scared.

From the moment I came in, I felt a little strange, but I never noticed what was wrong.

Now, I've finally figured out what the problem is.

These half-cut corpses have changed their movements!

"Yang Qing, come back quickly."

I lowered my voice and called out, walked forward quickly, grabbed Yang Qing, and pulled her back behind me.

Zhang Yi was taken aback by me and asked very nervously: "Wu Yishu, what's wrong?" ”

"The posture of these corpses is different from what I just saw."

This time, not only Zhang Yi, but even Shen Dali felt scared.

We retreated cautiously, and after a few steps we reached the edge of the wall.

Zhang Yi's voice trembled, and he said to me in a low voice: "Don't you tomb robbers all have talismans, is it okay to stick a talisman on the corpse one by one?" ”

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to him that we were tomb robbers, not fucking Taoist priests.

I've been in this line for so long, and I've never heard of anyone with a talisman.

However, after Zhang Yi's reminder, Shen Dali and I both reacted, quickly took out the small gourd cinnabar from the backpack, squeezed it nervously in our hands, and paid vigilant attention to the corpses.

However, we waited for a long time, and we didn't see the corpses move again.

Shen Dali asked me in a low voice, "Fifth brother, will you remember wrong?" I don't think they're moving. Otherwise, let's leave nothing else to worry about, just raise the cinnabar and forget it. ”

Not only Shen Dali, but even I began to doubt myself at this time.

Could it really be that I am mistaken?

Just then, I suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps outside the side room.

The footsteps were really soft, comparable to ghostly cat steps.

My sense of hearing has been honed over many years in this profession, not to mention the slight sound of footsteps, and even the fainter sound of the machine starting.

That's why I'm so confident in my hearing.

"Wait here."

After whispering a word, I lowered my body, slowed my steps, and sideways past the corpses to the door of the left room.

The base of my ears moved slightly, trying to identify the direction of the footsteps, but suddenly I found that everything was silent.

If I hadn't heard it wrong, the man or creature had noticed me and was watching me in the shadows.

I frowned slightly, and instead of turning on the flashlight, I slowly closed my eyes and listened and felt more attentively.

Sure enough, I heard breathing, somewhere in the burial chamber in front of me.

I was shocked, and I opened my eyes suddenly, only to be stunned by what I saw.

Five or six meters away from me, there was a pair of eyes glowing with green fluorescence, staring at me coldly.
