Chapter 40: The Shadow of Human Skin

Looking along the flashlight, I saw a palm tightly on the pillar of the archway, with half of the forearm behind it, and a gray sleeve on the ground, and the back of the forearm was not connected to the body, although it was a white bone, but from the degree of decay and the color of the bone analysis, the time was obviously not as long as the Later Jin. Zhang Guozhong squatted down, carefully looked at the fracture of the forearm bone, as if it was cut off by a sharp weapon, a bloody scene immediately appeared in front of Zhang Guozhong's eyes, a half-dead person was being dragged down the stone steps behind the archway, and when he arrived at the archway, he did not forget to grab the pillar of the archway with his hand, but he was cut off by the person who dragged him.

"Senior brother, whose arm do you say this is?" Zhang Guozhong's heart was furious, and he wanted to ask "Is it the arm of the tomb robber", but he asked "whose arm it is".

"I'm not from the Public Security Bureau...", said Lao Liu Tou also squatted down, "It's weird, it doesn't look like it was cut by a knife in the Qing Dynasty..."

"Mr. Liu, I don't understand what you mean..."Qin Ge said, "Is there a difference in age between the knife edges?" ”

"You see, the fractures of the bones are all together..."Old Liu Tou studied the famous weapon blade, for him, this bit of common sense seemed to be nothing. (China's sword-casting technology is the same as some other stunts, the later the era, the more lost stunts, the real historical blade, the Tang Dynasty has never appeared again, before the Tang Dynasty, China's smelting technology even modern people are admired, Yue Wang Goujian's portable sword after more than 2,000 years is still extremely sharp, the surface of the "chromium oxide" technology, is Germany in 1937, the United States in 1950 invented modern antioxidant technology. But such as this kind of sword casting technology in the Tang Dynasty gradually lost, the sword after the Tang Dynasty, from the smelting technology, oxidation resistance, toughness, metal strength and many other aspects are unsatisfactory, when cutting human bones, at most is "split" or "smashed" broken, the broken bones feel very uneven, some "miscellaneous blades" even have to be cut several times, just like the pork stall boss with a kitchen knife repeatedly chop pork bones, and the eyes of this half of the broken bones, the fault is neat, there is no difference, it is obviously a treasure blade to cut off. )

Qin Ge touched the section of the broken bone with his hand, and then looked at the black stone steps, his face was blue for a while. "Cannibalism?" Qin Ge remembered the two ancient corpses of the Ming Dynasty in the "Star Sucking Platform".

"It's not a cannibalism, it's a deliberate sneak attack." Zhang Guozhong said, "If you are on the Tao, it is absolutely impossible to know how to cut your hands." (People go crazy after being punched by the body, they don't have reason at all, they only have tremendous strength, and even if they can't pull it, they don't have the consciousness to cut their hands with a knife, at most it's just a vigorous pull.)

Lao Liu Tou also nodded, thinking that this was indeed a deliberate sneak attack, logically speaking, that Shi Jingjiao should not make any more bells and whistles in the array, the nine towns are ruthless enough, if it is complicated, it is also troublesome to take the treasure by yourself, it seems that this may be caused by the tomb robbers of the Qing Dynasty who attacked their accomplices in order to monopolize the treasure.

Although there should be no danger according to the reasoning, Lao Liu Tou still stood up and made a "please" gesture towards Qin Ge, implying that he should go first. Qin Ge didn't hesitate, pulled out the pig-killing knife, turned on the flashlight, and went down the stone steps without saying a word.

After about forty or fifty meters, the end of the stone steps suddenly opened up, and there was a huge stone chamber, still a semi-artificial and semi-natural cave, with square bricks on the ground, but the four walls didn't seem to be treated much, just natural rock walls.

Within two steps forward, Qin Ge suddenly stopped, squatted down, slowly raised his head again, and shone his surroundings with a flashlight.

"Master Qin, are the shoelaces loose?" Old Liu Tou seemed to be going to fight Qin Ge to the end.

"Zhang Zhangjiao... Do you guys really think... The severed hand just now... Isn't it the work of gods and ghosts...? Qin Ge's tone trembled a little, but he was still forcibly calming.

"What...?" Lao Liu Tou stepped forward quickly, only to see that a corpse on the ground had become white bones, but what made people's hearts tremble was that the bones were cut into several sections by a knife, and each knife cut off the entire corpse at all times, with long and short intervals, to be exact, it was like being hacked to death by a group of people.

"Damn, even if there is a deep vendetta, there is no need to report it here..."Zhang Guozhong looked at the white bone carefully, and muttered, at this moment Lao Liu Tou took out the compass, and the pointer did not react, "Guozhong, let's not scare ourselves, maybe the master who cut people suddenly went crazy..."

"Then why did he suddenly go crazy?" Qin Ge really got to the bottom of it.

"How the do I know why he's crazy!?" Old Liu Tou was also impatient.

At this moment, Zhang Guozhong stood up and walked slowly to the side alone, the visibility of this big cave is not very good, and it is also foggy, but it is much stronger than the first star sucking platform, with this American flashlight, the visibility is about ten meters.

As soon as Zhang Guozhong left, Lao Liu Tou and Qin Ge also followed, this hole was much bigger than the Zhentai Cave that he had been to before, and he walked along the wall of the cave for less than thirty meters, and suddenly there were layers of boxes in the flashlight.

Walking to the box, Zhang Guozhong carefully checked the box, and found that there were no mechanisms connected, pulled out Qin Ge's pistol, slammed the severely corroded chain, kicked open the lid of the box, and by the light of the flashlight, the three of them were immediately stunned, and the whole box was filled with gold bricks.

Lao Liu couldn't help but take a piece and weighed it, it was ten pounds, and the folds on his face immediately smiled into a slit again. "Guozhong... Look at this...", he said as he put the gold brick in his pocket. Zhang Guozhong is not a saint either, so he couldn't help but take a piece of it, let it go and weigh it, well, building two Tongtian Temples is rich...

Qin Ge was not interested in gold, but continued to walk along the rows of boxes by himself, shining around with a flashlight from time to time, his target was not the gold brick, but the heirloom seal. As he walked, Qin Ge's flashlight suddenly fixed on a humanoid black shadow, which startled Qin Ge as well, "Who!?" Qin Ge shouted, took four or five steps back, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out all over his body.

Loaded with two gold bricks, Lao Liu Tou was also worried, her mother's thing was too heavy, just with this rag pocket on her body, just loaded with two pieces of almost can't hold it, thinking that it is still convenient for the current banknotes, at this time, I suddenly heard Qin Ge shouting, the old Liu Tou was also startled, and he didn't care about loading the gold bricks, so he hurriedly took out the compass, only to see the compass pointer swinging sharply, turning round and round from time to time, like some kind of pointer that kept rotating before the plane crashed, Lao Liu Tou had not seen the compass turn like this for so many years after his debut, Frightened, he immediately threw away the third gold brick in his hand, pulled out the dagger, and shouted Zhang Guozhong's name, "Guozhong!" There is a case! Don't take it! ”

Hearing the shouting, Zhang Guozhong had already arrived next to Qin Ge, shining a flashlight on the figure in front of him, as if there was no movement.

"What the fuck...?" Zhang Guozhong also sweated on his head.

"Guozhong, be careful, this hole is too evil...!" At this moment, Lao Liu Tou also caught up, and used a flashlight to shine around, and his soul almost flew.

"What the hell... What the hell...? I saw that where Lao Liu's flashlight shone, there were many similar figures.

People have fear, this old Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong know more about how many catties and taels they have, Maoshan art has been passed down to this day, there are more things that have been lost than things that have been handed down, and there are more extinct materials than materials found.

The three of them were each pasted with live charms on their bodies, * standing with their backs, shining a flashlight on the figure opposite, only to see that the figure seemed to be slowly approaching, under the flashlight, as if it was as thin as a kite, and the feet were hanging in the air.

"Zhang Zhangjiao... What is this? Qin Ge was sweating on his head, put the flashlight under his armpit, and pulled out the pistol with a bang, although he knew that this thing was not easy to use, but as a modern person, holding the gun in his hand was more reassuring than killing pigs after all.

"It seems to be the Eight Immortals Bureau..."Zhang Guozhong replied, this is still Zhao Le's "Three Evil Bureau" when Ma Zhenren explained the curtain of the art of descending, in addition to the "public evil game", there is also a special use in the "cave tomb" of the evil door curtain bureau called "Eight Immortals Bureau", also known as the "Meat Skin Bureau", as the name suggests, it is the curtain of the use of human skin to descend, the cloth is in the Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Hui eight directions each place a whole human skin, if there are trespassers, they will be inexplicably covered by these people's skins, if there are accomplices, Seeing his companion suddenly being covered in a human skin and becoming another person, I don't know how frightened I will be. Although the "Eight Immortals Bureau" is only a legend, the role of this kind of tomb game is certainly not as simple as being scary.

"That's not... Something to be taught...? "Lao Liu Tou has also heard of such a thing as the "Eight Immortals Bureau", but the thinking of the elderly is always more conservative, and the descending technique is something that came out at the end of the Song Dynasty, and here is the treasure of the Later Jin Dynasty, with a difference of nearly a thousand years in the middle, so I didn't think about it. Although I can't be sure if it's a descending technique, I don't have a bottom in my heart, but judging from the wild swing of the compass pointer, what I encountered this time is more powerful than before, and it can even be said that it is not of an order of magnitude.

"Calm down... You must be calm..."Zhang Guozhong kept reminding himself that this is the way that the master has always taught himself to be in danger, everything has a way to crack, and thinking calmly is the only way to solve the crisis.

"Let's figure out how big this hole is!" Zhang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said, although it is difficult to explain the treasure of the late Song Dynasty's descending technique in the Later Jin Dynasty, but at this moment, these few people who seem to be floating shadows can only be temporarily dealt with according to the "Eight Immortals Bureau", if this is really the "Eight Immortals Bureau", if you want to find the "Bureau Heart", you must figure out the shape and size of the tomb.

Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, Qin Ge immediately took out a strange "barrel gun" from his bag, and after a period of hurried work, he "pounced" on the opposite side, and a flare immediately illuminated half of the cave brightly, at this time Qin Ge was another shot in front of him, to say that this flare is powerful, at this moment, the military flashlight of the three people has dropped, and it can only shine out for ten meters at most, but as soon as these two flares come out, the layout of the entire cave is fully displayed in front of the three people, and it turns out that this hole is not the square guessed by the three blind people. It is an irregular figure similar to the shape of a cat's claw, at this moment the three of them are standing on the side of the "cat's claw", looking ahead, not more than thirty meters, the layers are full of boxes, presumably all gold bricks, not hundreds of tons but also dozens of tons. At the middle finger of the "cat scratch", there is a black square door opening, which must be the "entrance".

Some people say that money can make people forget death, and Lao Liu Tou is a typical example. At this time, the old Liu Tou, attention has long been shifted from the surrounding figures, seeing so many "gold boxes", first a burst of excitement, and then a burst of depression, in his own imagination, the treasure cave should be full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pearls and jade, but now it seems that it really should be "prosperous antique troubled gold" This sentence, if these boxes are gold, it is good to be able to take one or two pieces away, alas...... Let's cry while guarding the gold mountain...

At this time, Qin Ge's attention also shifted from the figure to the surroundings of the treasure cave, hoping to find a place where it was possible to release the national seal with the help of flares. Only Zhang Guozhong carved the approximate shape of the hole on the ground with a dagger as quickly as possible, looked at it carefully, and after measuring it with his fingers a few times, Zhang Guozhong dragged the corner of Lao Liu's clothes in a cold sweat, "Senior brother... Look at the terrain..."

As he was talking, Qin Ge suddenly noticed a stone platform in the middle of the treasure cave, on which a jade box was placed.

"Zhang Zhangjiao! What is that? Qin Ge pointed to the stone platform.

As soon as Qin Ge spoke, Zhang Guozhong didn't look at the stone platform, but remembered the figures just now, raised his head sharply, and looked around. It's strange to say that the flare illuminated the treasure cave, and several figures disappeared unconsciously, and after a few seconds of distraction, the three of them looked for those figures again, and they were gone.
