Chapter 92: The Murder of the Overseer
The advantage of the little demon's long legs is reflected at this time, I need to buckle the gap to turn in, but the little demon just supported the stone wall with his hand, and came in with a light flip, and looked at me proudly after landing.
After everyone came in, Hong Jinglong glanced back, didn't say anything, nodded and continued to walk forward.
The walkway, which must have been built by the workers in private, is irregular, crooked, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and in many places there are traces left by various tools after excavation, which looks rather messy.
I have long heard that many ancient mausoleums were built at the cost of collective burial of workers, which has become a tradition, the tomb owner knows, those workers will naturally know, so the second half of the mausoleum construction is the process of the workers and the mausoleum owner fighting wits and courage, the workers will often dig a survival channel in private at the same time as the construction, so that when the final tomb construction is completed, if the tomb owner lets them be martyred, they can escape in the secret passage after the tomb is sealed.
But the overseers who were raised by the owners of the tombs were not vegetarians, and they would divide into queues to supervise the work of the workers in rotation, and if the secret passages were discovered, all the workers involved would be subjected to cruel punishments, and among these punishments, death was often the lightest.
"Go ahead and be careful."
Hong Jinglong suddenly said this sentence without a head, but his footsteps did not stop, and he still walked forward firmly, I originally wanted to ask, but looking at his appearance, it should not be a big deal, so I simply didn't bother him.
Walking forward about a hundred and ten steps, Hong Jinglong's footsteps paused, I didn't react, the little demon covered his mouth and exclaimed, I looked up, and saw that the tomb in front of me was full of lodging white bones within 100 meters, looking at the white forest, not to mention the white tools, and these white bones died miserably, although the flesh has been corrupted, but the bones can see deep scars, some of them are extremely scarred, and even almost split the whole white bones in two.
For some reason, I didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in my heart when I saw these corpses, I walked over Hong Jinglong and squatted down to inspect these corpses, and after only examining two or three corpses, I found a strange feature - the scars of these corpses were all on the back.
There was a sound of footsteps, Hong Jinglong walked behind me, and said softly: "You have also seen, the fatal injuries of these corpses are behind him, Professor Xu Baolin speculated that these people are part of the workers who built the mausoleum, the construction of this escape passage has actually been successful, no one would have thought that those workers would dig a passage in this stone, and when the mausoleum was completed, they wanted to escape outside through this secret tomb passage, but what they didn't expect was that there was a team of tomb owners hidden in this mausoleum- That is, Li Xiaocun's loyal overseers, the purpose of these overseers is to prevent problems in the mausoleum, sure enough, they found this secret passage in the mausoleum, those workers have run into this tomb, but they were caught up by those overseers, that is, in this passage, there was a tragic massacre, and finally attacked 548 people, all of whom died in this tomb. ”
"What about the overseers?" I asked as I put a white skeleton back in place and looked up.
"After killing these workers, they collectively took poison, a total of twenty-seven people, and the coffins were all parked next to the burial ditch below, but after more than a thousand years, their coffins were made of ordinary wood, and now they have long been corrupted, if it weren't for the underground, the white bones of these workers would not be left, and Professor Xu Baolin also confirmed their identities through the sabers of those corpses." Hong Jinglong said calmly.
The fat man screamed in disbelief: "What the fuck is this overseer, he knows that staying in the mausoleum is a dead end, and he actually stays here to die, what the fuck is in this skull?" And even if they were left in this mausoleum, but after discovering this passage, they did not escape, but killed the workers, and then committed suicide by poisoning, which ...... What the is this! ”
Hong Jinglong shook his head and said calmly: "Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, although the era is very chaotic, but the etiquette is ...... It has not completely collapsed, that era is not far from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the concept of 'the death of a confidant is still quite popular in some areas of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, these overseers are Li Xiaocun's generals, their lives belong to Li Xiaocun, and they can do their last bit of strength for the master, in their opinion...... It's an honor. ”
The fat man shook his head: "I still can't understand this kind of mentally retarded thinking, my own life is my own, and besides, the master is dead, these generals still take the initiative to take poison and commit suicide, what are they trying to do?" ”
"They don't want anything." I stood up and said to the fat man, "Different historical eras, different backgrounds, and different ideas prevailing at that time, those families will be educated like this since childhood, and they will come over like this all their lives, do you expect them to be transformed when they die?" For example, now, you can accompany me to the ground because of a word, if both of us die here, when future generations find our bones, they may also ask the same question, why would two people who are not related by blood die here because of a word? If anything, it's that there are things that are more important than life, they think...... Lao Hong's 'glory' is higher than life, and you think that brotherhood is more important than life, and the two have the same effect. ”
"Fuck your uncle, don't put a high hat on Shen Ye and me, I know how many pounds and taels I have, this time I accompanied you to the ground, I really fell for your evil." The fat man pursed his lips and said stiffly.
"Okay, let's go, originally Professor Xu Baolin wanted to collect their bones when we came back, but I didn't expect that we were almost like them, and we didn't have a chance to collect their bones even along the way, they are all poor people underground, no one can pity anyone, whether we will be the same as them in two days, not necessarily." Hong Jinglong continued to walk forward, and at the same time his mouth rarely expressed some emotion, I followed him, there was always a feeling, as if I could remember some previous clips, he was very happy.
There is no pattern in the white bones lodging in the passage, and there are even two or three bodies stacked on top of each other, I wanted to clean up these white bones and go forward, but I was stopped by Hong Jinglong, Hong Jinglong closed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Can't move, remember I told you that there is a group of corpses here, we are now very close to the gathering place of those corpse groups, everything must be done carefully, those groups of corpses are very sensitive to the vibration of objects, and it is okay to talk, but if you move the body, they will definitely perceive it, so take your steps lightly, Slowly weave your way through the bones, remember, it's okay to walk slowly, but don't kick the bones here. ”
Hong Jinglong's face slowly became solemn, and it could be seen that he was very taboo about the corpses in it.
"It's okay, in such a closed situation, these corpses are no match for my sweethearted babies." Wu Li lifted the two leather monkey corpses that were constantly agitating in his hand, and grinned at Hong Jinglong.
"It's better to be careful."
Hong Jinglong shook his head, took off his shoes and hung them around his neck, and walked towards the white bone group, although his eyes did not recover at this time, but he walked lighter than a cat. He didn't look at the road with his eyes, but with his toes to feel the white bones in front of him, after he touched the white bones with a gentle force, he immediately changed his position and landed in the most reasonable direction, I followed him, the more I looked at him, the more I wanted a snake standing up, the bones were soft not like a person, some corners that could not be interspersed with the past, his legs and feet could bend into a weird corner to walk over.
I followed behind Hong Jinglong, trying to move cautiously, I would rather walk slower than take risks, I took the time to look back, the little demon followed closely behind me, she was slender, a pair of white long legs were extremely flexible, while looking around and following me slowly, seeing me glance at her, she raised her hand and brushed a few strands of hair messy down her ears, and said with a charming smile: "I have studied dance for seventeen years, this little thing, not enough entry-level, that is, your kid walks too slowly, always blocking my way." ”
"That's no way, I'm clumsy, how can I compare to your dancing embryo, don't you say I haven't paid attention, your move really has the charm of dance." I was still a little stressed at this time, and I said something casually as I walked to relieve the pressure in my heart.
The little demon replied with a smile: "Don't pat yourself on the back, Boss Tang, how do I feel that you have changed a little since you came here?" ”
My heart suddenly sudden, and my face still said calmly: "Change? What's changing? I didn't feel it. ”
The little demon moved his long legs and crossed a pile of white bones with great light in the form of a horse, but said thoughtfully on his face: "I can't tell, but since you entered this passage, I feel that you have changed a little, as if ...... It's getting farther and farther away from us. ”
I didn't quite understand what the little demon said, and when I was about to ask, I heard the fat man who was left behind in a low voice impatiently: "I said you two, when the are you still flirting?" Didn't you hear Lao Hong say how dangerous this is! Give Shen Ye me a little concentration! ”
I knew that the fat man was under the most pressure at this time, so I shut up and didn't argue with him, but the little demon was not a vegetarian, and she was about to lose her temper when she crossed her waist and raised her eyebrows, but as soon as she spoke, her face changed, and she suddenly bent over and snorted, spitting out some light green liquid.
This change frightened me a lot, I hurriedly turned around to help the little demon, but the moment I turned around, I accidentally stepped on a weathered white bone, the clicking sound was very subtle, but it made me freeze in place.
Hong Jinglong immediately said loudly: "Don't panic, this is not a big change, the corpse group has been sleeping for so long, it is possible that this voice will not touch him!" ”
"No......" Wu Li sniffed the smell in the air lightly, his face was extremely solemn, "This is the smell of the Death Pill and Bliss mixed together, the corpse group is the most sensitive to the smell of corpses, prepare to fight." ”
As soon as Wu Li's words were finished, I heard the sound of rustling in all directions at the same time, the sound was overwhelming, like a tide in the dark, as if it was going to drown us all in this tomb in the next moment.
