Chapter 20: The Pool of Corpses

"You two eat some dry food, let's hurry up and go." Uncle Zhang handed me the dry food in his hand.

Liu Yanming and I hurriedly ate two compressed biscuits and followed Uncle Zhang. After walking a short distance, the light in front of me suddenly became brighter, indicating that it was not far from the exit.

After walking forward for a few more minutes, I suddenly felt a black shadow flash under a dim corner of the rock wall next to my right. I was shocked, thinking that there was something evil, so I picked up a flashlight and took a photo, and found that under the rock wall, there was a figure squatting in the dim corner. He was grinning at me.

"Why is he here, and why is he silent?" Since the last time I met Zhang Wuren, I felt that he had become a little weird, as if he didn't know us anymore, and seemed to be hiding from something, full of suspicions. Since I was at the back of the line, the crowd didn't notice my anomaly.

Zhang Wuren also seemed to be interested in me, staring at me with very aggressive eyes, and from his eyes, I seemed to see sympathy, compassion, indifference, and even a little bit of watching the prey. His eyes were so terrifying that I felt like I was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and the inexplicable nervousness made me immediately cry out: "Zhang Wuren, why are you here?" ”

"Zhang Wuren, where is you?" Before I finished speaking, Uncle Zhang, who was originally five meters away from me, appeared behind me instantly, put a hand on my shoulder, and asked with a tense face.

"Here it is! Hey, why are people gone? When I looked back, I found that Zhang Wuren had long since disappeared, and I used a flashlight to shine around, but I still didn't find him.

Uncle Zhang's brows furrowed, and the group fell silent again, silently walking towards the light.

"Did you really see him again?" Liu Yanming deliberately slowed down, approached me, and asked in a low voice.

"I guess I saw it." I nodded slightly, but my expression was a little puzzled, because I wasn't sure that Zhang Wuren's aggressive eyes were too impressive, but how could he disappear in just a moment of turning his head? Strange things followed, and I could clearly feel a cold sweat in my palms.

Liu Yanming patted me on the shoulder and said worriedly: "It's okay, the last time I saw Zhang Wuren, it was like a different person, and I always felt a little weird." But it's almost time to get to the exit, and it's okay to see the sun. ”

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I guess my nerves have been too tight in the past two days, and I'm hallucinating." ”

Finally, everyone reached the end of the river beach, and the river seemed to have reached the end, and a large area of river water accumulated at the end of the beach, forming a river pool seven or eight meters wide. Strangely, however, at the edge of the beach, there was a log across the water, leading directly to the other end of the river.

The Taobao King is experienced, standing at the end of the river beach, and analyzed: "The water of this underground dark river is flowing, which means that this river pool must have a channel to the outside river. Second, there is a large log that crosses the river pool and leads to the opposite river beach, and perhaps the opposite river beach may have a direct passage out of the ground, because this big log does not look like it was washed down by the river, but it looks like it is artificial, and maybe someone has really visited this ancient tomb before us. So now, we have two options, one is to send someone with the best water to find the secret passage under the bottom of the river, and the other is to walk through this single tree and go to the opposite side. ”

Liu Yanming said: "I suggest going to the other side first to see if we can find an exit, because everyone doesn't know what variables are under the water." ”

Thinking of the murderous corpses from before, I nodded heavily in agreement.

"Wait, there's something in the water." At this moment, You Liang on the side suddenly shouted, only to see him holding a telescope in one hand and pointing to the water in the distance of the river pool and saying, "There is a floating corpse in this pool." ”

You Liang handed the telescope to Uncle Zhang, who glanced at it with his only remaining eye and said, "The little girl is right, it's better not to go into the water, let's go with Dumu." ”

"Let me see." The Taobao King took the binoculars, and after observing them for a while, he said in shock, "It's not one, it's four, is it true that someone has already visited this tomb?" Uncle Zhang is right, don't rush into the water, go to the other side first, at least we have other options. ”

Taobao King and others are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they seem to be extremely careful, and there is no need to try unknown things.

"Well, this wood is sturdy enough to support us as we walk." Chen Gaotu and Pan Yu walked on the wood, and after some experiments, they led the way on the road.

"Follow." Uncle Zhang nodded at me and Liu Yanming. The two of us followed the Taobao King and walked on the single tree, lined up in a line, everyone held hands, walked along the single tree, and walked cautiously forward.

"Taobao King, are you sure you can see the four bodies clearly?" After walking for more than ten steps, Chen Gaotu, who was walking in the front, suddenly asked.

Taobao Wang was puzzled: "It should be right, I used a telescope to observe the surface of the entire waterhole, there are only four, and they are more than ten meters away from us." ”

"That's bad." Chen Gaotu's voice became a little frightened.

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Zhang's voice also came from behind, a little anxious, "Everyone, pay attention, don't look at the water, don't look around, hurry up and walk through this single tree." ”

After hearing the words of Chen Gaotu and Uncle Zhang, I had a bad feeling in my heart, and asked Liu Yanming in a low voice in front of me, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, but it's probably not a good thing, you have to hold back." Liu Yanming shook her head, she knew the shortcomings of my curiosity, and immediately said worriedly.

"Could it be that there's something in the water?" Liu Yanming's worries were right, although I was nervous and scared, but I was extremely curious about what appeared in the water. I understand that my life is hanging on a tightrope at the moment, and the slightest carelessness may be the result of death, this is not a game, and there is a chance to start over. So I struggled to control my thinking, I wanted to look forward intently, curious people should understand, sometimes the more you want to control, the more you can't control it, hold on for a moment, I finally didn't hold back, with a quick glance on the surface, after seeing something on the water, my whole body couldn't help but stiffen, almost scared to fall into the water.

Before walking on the single-plank bridge, the river was still clear and visible, and there was no debris on the river, but at this moment, I don't know when, the entire river was already full of corpses. The corpses, all dressed in white robes, were almost identical to the three zombies they had encountered earlier when they entered the mountains, floating on the water, staring at us with wide blood-red eyes. Vaguely, I could sense them smiling at us.

"Brother Hesitant, you can't help it again? What's wrong with you, why can't you fix it? Behind him, You Liang said a little anxiously.

"Damn it, if you try it again, I'll kick you down first." Ahead, Pan Yu was also unhappy.

I myself was even more scared, so I hurriedly raised my head and said resolutely: "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it again." ”

Liu Yanming also followed my example, raised his head, and asked in a low voice, "Hesitation, what do you see?" ”。

"Corpses, corpses as far as the eye can see." "There are thousands of corpses, and they seem to be moving closer to us. It's strange, I don't see any movement from them, the point is that the water here is also still, why are they all coming towards us? ”

The more I delved, the more frightened I became, because the more inexplicable something at this point is, the more it says that there is no doubt that we have bumped into something that we shouldn't touch!

Zhang Bo explained: "They are here to ask for their lives, no wonder you have encountered so many corpses before. These thousands of corpses have all been trained into zombies by the owner of this tomb with a feng shui array, as long as they can find a substitute for death, then they can get out of the waterhole and go to the outside world. But now it seems that they can't leave the surface of the water, as long as you don't fall into the water. ”

I was surprised: "Could it be that the three zombies outside also went out from here, and this is the real zombie den?" ”

"That's right, this should be the legendary pool of corpses, Feng Shui can be called a corpse of water practice, only a master who is extremely proficient in the art of feng shui can arrange it, and will practice the corpse in the water into a water corpse, which is also a kind of zombie, immortal, but it will never be able to leave this place for half a step, and it is the burial of the ancient emperor. It's just that thousands of years have passed now, and I'm afraid that these corpses have become sperm, and you'd better not look at them, otherwise you'll be confused, and you won't know how you'll die when the time comes. ”

"I see."

When Uncle Zhang said this, I calmed down a little in my heart, and I could only look up, for fear that I would not be able to control it, and looked in the direction of the water.

"Huh. Zhang Wuren? "In my peripheral vision, I suddenly found that on a protruding stone block on the top of the rock wall on the left, Zhang Wuren was standing on it with his hands behind his back, showing a strange smile to me, staring at my figure.

"Where?" Liu Yanming and Zhang Bo's voices came at the same time.

"About thirty degrees to my left, the apex of the rock wall."

"I rub, where is anyone? Don't always make a fuss, I'll be scared to death by you sooner or later. You Liang tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but his tone was still full of anger.

Pan Yu also scolded in a low voice: "Damn, neurotic." ”

Chen Gaotu even directly threatened: "No matter, leave here, Lao Tzu must teach you a good lesson." ”

"It's really gone, he seems to have been following me, but he is deliberately avoiding the others, but why should he follow me?"

After this time, I have determined that Zhang Wuren's appearance is not a hallucination, but intentional, but why did he do it? I couldn't figure it out, but I instinctively felt that he wouldn't harm me.
