Chapter 53: The Cocoon Fetus

I lifted the glass panel, pulled out the photo, and carefully confirmed that it was my dad.

I trembled and ran over to wake up Uncle Cao, my hands couldn't stop shaking, and I pointed to the person in the photo and asked, "Uncle Cao, this, when did this person come?" ”

Uncle Cao shook his dazed head, and said uncertainly, "It seems that it was last week, the four of them came together, and they brought an old man who looked like he was over a hundred years old." I stayed here for one night and went into the mountains the next day. ”

I finally saw a glimmer of hope in the long darkness, and my eyes were unexpectedly clouded with a layer of mist.

"Did they leave any messages before leaving, saying where they went and when they will come back?"

Uncle Cao shook his head, "Then I don't know, anyway, I'm in the mountains." I don't know if an old man of such age can come out alive. ”

I suddenly noticed the old man in his words, but I was under the impression that my dad didn't know any older people. He prefers to deal with young people, and the elders of my grandparents' generation think that my father has little contact with our family because he is not in shape, so who can it be? I came so far with my dad in my 100s......

But at this time, these things didn't seem so important, I just thought that my dad might be waiting for me not far away, and I went back to tell Lao Meng and Yu Nian like a wind under my feet.

When I returned to the corridor, I happened to bump into the three Tufuzi going out.

It seems that I didn't expect that there would be no one sleeping so late, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

I pretended to be nothing, put my hands in my pockets and walked forward. I don't know if I've done something wrong, but my heart is beating like a drum and it's hard to calm down.

When I happened to walk up to them, I was stopped by one of them.

My back straightened, wondering what I would do if they did it, or how I could notify Yu Nian as soon as possible.

"Your battery is off."

After he reminded me, I realized that my battery had rolled to the wall at this time.

I hurriedly thanked me and lowered my head to pick it up, and then walked quickly back to the room, and the people didn't seem suspicious and continued to leave.

After entering the house, I quickly called everyone, and Yu Nian saw that I was out of breath and asked me what was wrong.

I took out my dad's photo and handed it to Yu Nian, "I found it, Uncle Cao said, my dad came here a week ago, and now it is very likely that he is in the mountains." ”

Yu Nian's expression was unconcealably happy for me, and he repeatedly confirmed with me, "Really? ”

"yes, really."

Lao Meng hugged me, "Congratulations, Xiao Ding, my father is lost and recovered." ”

I smiled and pushed him away, "Fuck off, why does this sound so awkward." ”

After a few simple words, we put on our backpacks and followed behind those people, all the way from Uncle Cao's house to Liangwang Mountain. Fortunately, the distance in the middle is not far, and after walking for less than half an hour, I have already arrived at the foot of Liangwang Mountain.

Although Liangwang Mountain is not a high mountain, but it also has a certain height, if it is really like Uncle Cao said, all the human bones buried under this mountain are human bones, then there must be tens of thousands of lives buried here.

We didn't rush or slow all the way, and we finally didn't get noticed.

After they came to the north of Liangwang Mountain, they hooked up the weeds on the ground, and finally a cave appeared within the weeds that could only be passed by one person.

The three of them seemed to have been prepared early in the morning and were familiar with the terrain here. After a brief handling of the hole, a candle was lit.

The candle burned for five seconds and was blown out by one of the men before the three men walked inside.

Lao Meng asked, "What do they mean by blowing out candles?" ”

Yu Nian explained, "A place like Yunnan is a place of poisonous miasma. The cave, which has been closed for a long time, is likely to trap a lot of poisonous gases. Candles are lit to test the oxygen content, and the flame changes color when the candle is poisonous. ”

Lao Meng sighed, "I thought someone had a birthday inside......

We waited for about five minutes and then walked into the cave.

As soon as I entered, I only felt that the cold air around me was overwhelming, and it was completely two temperatures outside the cave. Unexpectedly, the road in the cave was a narrow slope, leading us down all the way, and finally at a position about ten meters underground, it was obviously coiled in a circle.

Yu Nian, who was walking in front of me, stretched out a hand and touched the wall on the right, as if feeling something.

I looked at the wall and couldn't help but feel a little strange. The middle of the road, surrounded by a corridor, looks like a round ball, like the treasure top of an ancient mausoleum.

The Dome is a mound of earth raised high from the tomb of the owner of the ancient royal tomb. Use triple soil, that is, white ash, sand, loess. Layer by layer tamping. In addition, it is poured with glutinous rice soup and finally beaten with iron. Very sturdy.

"How does this structure feel like a tomb roof?" I muttered to Yu Nian.

"See how you understand it."

The tomb in front of me was still dark and there was no end in sight, and I was about to ask if we were going to continue walking, when Yu Nian suddenly frowned.

Then, it was as if we all heard strange noises.

It was as if someone was banging their head against a wall, and every time they hit it, there was a little tail sound, making a muffled sound of the skull hitting the wall. The sound is not cluttered, as if there is some kind of pattern. One moment, one moment, no hurry, no hurry.

I looked around and saw that the sound seemed to be coming from inside the top wall of the tomb, so I put my ear to it and listened carefully, and sure enough.

When you stick to the wall, the sound is louder, and you can even feel the vibration. The sound pierced through the cracks in the stone at the top of the tomb and struck in my ears.

Lao Meng stretched his neck and asked, "What's wrong?" Don't talk about it."

"Quiet," Yu Nian said with a frown.

Lao Meng immediately stood obediently behind me, and Tusuo also stood aside silently.

The sound grew louder and louder, and I was sure that it wasn't a human head hitting at all, and if it were, it would have been a human head.

We all listened attentively to the sound coming from the tomb wall, and Lao Meng didn't know where to look, and said in horror, "Look at it! ”

I looked along the place where Lao Meng pointed out, and only saw that there seemed to be a protrusion on the wall, and if I stared at it for a while, I would find that it was not a simple protrusion, but that it felt like there was life, constantly squirming in the wall.

As time went on, the number of bumps gradually increased, one, two, and slowly to the point of being too numerous to count.

I wondered what it was and wanted to reach out and touch it.

"Don't move!" Yu Nian said.

I was taken aback and reflexively took my hand back. Lao Meng seemed to remember something, and asked, "Could this thing be a stone bone?"

"What do you mean by a stone bone?" Lao Meng also likes to study these strange things on weekdays, so it's not unusual to be able to recognize them.

"You don't know this, have you ever heard of a meat cocoon?"

I remembered that my dad seemed to talk about this before. Before his death, the owner of the tomb looked for people who were in harmony with his life, and sealed them on both sides of the tomb road of his tomb, which means that he will pave the way for his next life, and the next life will be smooth, and there will be no more villains looking for trouble.

It's a cruel method, but people in ancient times believed in this kind of thing, and they never got tired of it.

"Stone bones and flesh cocoons have similar meanings, they are all the same. It's just that the meat cocoon fetus still picks a life to restrain each other, and the stone bones are not picked, as long as they are human. ”

"What does this mean?"

Lao Meng shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no meaning, reinforcement." Human bones are very hard things, some people are superstitious that human bones will be stronger than other things, it's just incomprehensible, these people don't have brains? ”

Lao Meng was chattering, but I didn't listen to it, and turned my head to look at Yu Nian on the side. Yu Nian didn't speak, just stared at the moving bulge on the wall, his brows tightened.

She stretched out her right hand to block the bulge, moving slowly as it moved. I was wondering what she was doing when she pulled a dagger from her waist and stabbed it through her fingers.

I watched it with horror, and if I didn't poke it well, my fingers would be useless.

Unexpectedly, Yu Nian's dagger was stuck on top of one of the bulges, and the rest didn't move. Yu Nian slowly moved his right hand away, spun the dagger in a circle, and pulled it out violently.

Then, a stream of blood spurted out from the knife. This is strange, it's all a pool of bones, where does the blood come from?

"Let's go!" Yu Nian put the dagger back into his waist and turned to walk deeper into the tomb. I didn't have time to study what the hell was on the wall, so I hurriedly followed.

Lao Meng squatted around the blood spray just now, wondering what was under the wall, and was pulled away by Tusuo with the collar of his clothes.

I still look back at it from time to time. Looking at the way it looked just now, it shouldn't be some stone bone that Lao Meng said. If it's really bones, where does the blood come from?

"What the hell is in the wall just now, it's not just human bones, right?"

Before Yu Nian could answer me, there was a loud noise behind me. I looked back and saw a humanoid figure breaking through the wall of the tomb, his hair scattered, and walking towards us step by step.

Yu thought and didn't reply, "Don't look back, run." ”

My suspicions were again, and the more I was denied look, the more curious I became. There is a tendon on the top of the neck that keeps straining backwards as if it is out of control.

I really couldn't control myself, so I raised my hand and gave myself a slap, and this slap looked at the old Meng behind me, thinking that I was evil.

But don't say it, this fight is really effective, and it can be regarded as temporarily interrupting my curiosity.

The thing behind it didn't move very fast, and it didn't run far until it seemed to be left behind by us. I don't know if I was completely thrown down, or if I just didn't catch up for a while, anyway, I couldn't see the shadow when I turned around.

I leaned against the wall and gasped, Lao Meng gasped even more than me.

Yu Nian seemed to be fine, his face was not red and he was not panting. Still frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

I looked around, but I didn't find Tuso. In my memory, he has been following at the end, where did the kung fu man go for such a while?
