A Visitor to the Mountains Chapter 6 The Grave in the Light

The long and wide tomb passage, filled with the smell of decay and mold, flanked by messy wooden blocks, weapons, and unclothed bones, I was no longer afraid of corpses, and the moment Ah Chang's flesh splashed on his face, I felt as if I had been injected with some kind of numbing antibody.

According to the time calculation, it should be the second half of the night at this time, and the whole passage is stuffy. It was eerily quiet, except for my slight hesitant footsteps echoing through the passage. I've never seen such a strange picture, whether it's in a book or on TV, and I've never seen a glowing silk curtain hanging on the top of the tomb. At first, I thought it was a ghost fire, hanging from the top of the tomb in twos and threes, and the further I went, the more glowing threads there were, but looking at this strange picture, I denied my idea. Just as my attention was drawn to this miraculous phenomenon, in the middle of the tomb, a mysterious river appeared leading to the tomb, and the river was like a mirror without a single wave. The faint light above the tomb was reflected in the creek, like a galaxy, and if it weren't for the tomb robbery, I would have thought I was visiting some tourist attraction.

Is this really a tomb? Who would dig a river in their own grave? I asked myself in my heart.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the tomb, I turned around and walked a few steps and drew a cross in the direction of the tomb robbers—

It was then that I suddenly felt a strange feeling behind me.

I quickly turned my flashlight on the inside of the tomb, staring at the deepest part of the tomb, which was getting brighter and brighter, but hazy, where something seemed to be peeking at me. It's a real feeling, and I can't see it, but I can feel it. When in a desperate situation, people's sixth sense is often extremely accurate. I feel that in the tombway, in addition to those of us, there are other people, or perhaps, it is not a person, but another unknown creature.

……

"I said, yes! This tomb is magnificent enough just for the tomb road! There must be no shortage of treasures inside! ”

"Not really! Now I'm going to make a fortune! ”

As soon as they came in, the two of them, the youkai and the bald man, shouted excitedly.

But when they saw the silk curtain on the tomb and the river belt on the ground, surprise replaced surprise.

"Why does this tomb still have its own lights!" The bald man was stunned for a moment and said.

The monster studied the curtains of light for a while, and said, "You know a ball, this is something like a spider!" ”

"This should be...... Cave fireflies. Tang Zhengcao whispered.

"It doesn't matter what kind of worm it is, if it doesn't bite, it's a good worm!" The youkai accosted.

Others saw that the fireflies on the top were harmless, so they focused their attention on the water.

"This ...... It can't be mercury, right? The fat man asked.

"This is not the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, how can there be mercury, besides, the color is not right." The mustache said as he looked at the water in the pool.

"Xiao Ning, look at what is going on with this pool?" Eagle asked.

"In general, water is a taboo in tombs, from the perspective of feng shui, water is yin, and the tomb itself is a place where the dead are buried, and the corpse is more likely to rot when exposed to water. The appearance of water in the tomb is also very bad for future generations, but there is a special pool in this mausoleum, and it does not dry for a long time, and it is buried in the ...... Certainly not an ordinary person. Tang Zhengcao said.

"You didn't say that! I said that it doesn't matter what he does so much, no matter how powerful a person is, he has been dead for thousands of years, if he dares to be a demon, grandpa will beat him into a sieve, hurry up, it's important to find a baby! The monster said with a fluttering eyebrow.

……

As we continued inside, there were more and more curtains of light at the top of the tunnel, and in the chamber at the end of the tunnel, I saw a faint blue-green light reflecting off the water.

The moment I stepped out of the cemetery, I was almost stunned by the sight in front of me.

Suddenly the front opens up, and the so-called burial chamber is a huge square cave. Above the cave, the dense glowworms emit a brilliant light, which is very beautiful, and the entire roof of the cave is as gorgeous as if it is inlaid with emerald gemstones. In the middle of the burial chamber stands a palace carved from white jade, surrounded by water, and its entire body is illuminated by the light of fireflies. Its top almost touched the roof of the cave, which was covered with thick and knotted vines that twined around the palace along the roof of the building, and where the fireflies took refuge. Therefore, the whole palace is filled with a layer of faint blue light, like a lighthouse in the dark, the color is holy and beautiful, with a touch of weirdness, like a cold beauty sitting in the middle of the lake, unreachable.

"Wow! This place is so beautiful! The monster shook his head and exclaimed, "This is actually a mausoleum, it's a shame not to develop tourism!" ”

"There are tombs on all sides here, facing south, south, and northwest respectively, it must be a "Asian" shaped mausoleum, in ancient times, the tombs of the four tomb roads were the tombs with the highest burial specifications, and this kind of mausoleum was only enjoyed by kings. Tang Zhengcao looked around and exclaimed

"The palace in the middle should be the main burial chamber!" The mustache pointed with his finger and said excitedly.

"But we have to find a way to get to that palace." The eagle said calmly.

"It's easy to do, just swim over." As he spoke, the youkai began to throw his equipment and prepare to take off his coat.

"Wait." The eagle stopped the monster's movements, and said with some hesitation, "There's something particularly strange. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Do you smell blood? I have been in the graveyard just now, and I have been smelling a vague smell of blood. Eagle said.

"No, but I seem to smell it when you say that. Do you smell it? The monster sniffed exaggeratedly a few times and said.

"I'm not kidding you......" said the eagle seriously.

Before the eagle's words fell, there was a splash of water in the graveyard where we came. The sound was small, but unusually noticeable in the empty silence of the mausoleum. At this juncture, this voice appeared, and everyone's hearts were raised.

Everyone had a tacit understanding and quietly returned to the tomb by sticking to the tomb wall. In the quiet tomb passage, only the sound of water splashing became more and more frequent, and then it was even churning.

The monster couldn't hold his breath and shone it over there with a flashlight—

I saw a lot of river fish in the water, scrambling to bite a corpse lying on the edge of the pool, the body was fat, lying in a pool of blood on the ground, one hand in front, five fingers apart, as if to grasp something, the other hand hanging in the water, becoming the bait of the strange fish, his chin on the ground, facing forward. The monster's flashlight hit him in the face, and in his round eyes, there was shock, despair, and unwillingness, and he stared at us directly, as if he wanted to scream, but his throat was cut, he couldn't make a sound, and finally he didn't even die.

I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, and my hairs stood on end, that person was actually fat.
