Chapter 13: A Man
Just when we were frightened by a hideous-looking human head that suddenly emerged from the sarcophagus, we didn't dare to move, suddenly, a pair of withered and black arms stretched out from the sarcophagus, and we saw its claws tightly grasping the stone wall at the top of the sarcophagus, I don't know if it was a human or a ghost! At that moment, another head suddenly protruded from the sarcophagus!
I swallowed, and I felt my heart jump out of my throat. I looked at it and felt wrong, the head at this time was not like the previous one, it was a bald head, and the face was not hideously distorted, it looked like flesh and blood, it looked like the head of a living person! Immediately afterwards, the human head and upper body also poked out of the sarcophagus, it was really a living person!
The man was alerted to the sight of a fire on the floor, and then he found the three of us staring at him against the stone wall at the edge of the floor. He was so frightened to see us here that he almost fell off the sarcophagus.
We looked at each other like this for a full minute, and neither of us spoke, and finally Lao Zhao spoke: "Our three brothers accidentally fell into this cave because of outdoor camping, and saw that the cave was built by man, so we went deep into the cave to find out, but I met Brother Ren here!" "I listened to Lao Zhao's words and felt a little admired, Lao Zhao's words not only concealed the purpose of our visit, but also showed that we had no malicious intentions.
I only heard the man say in a Sichuan accent: "I'm a tomb robber, I've come here to steal treasures!" When we heard this, we were all shocked, and I secretly said in my heart: "This person is really honest enough, and in the face of us strangers, he dares to call himself a tomb robber." ”
I saw that the man lifted the human head with his hand and flipped out of the sarcophagus, and fell directly to the floor, and the human head was still shaking in his hand. Seeing this, Lao Zhao immediately got up and said, "Brother Tai is really good!" The man looked at us a few more times and said, "I see your equipment and the outfits you are carrying, and you are by no means vegetarians, so I'm afraid you are here to find treasures!" ”
Lao Zhao saw through us at a glance when he saw that person, and he was embarrassed to continue to hide it, besides, everyone claimed to be a tomb robber, so what else do we have to be afraid of! So Lao Zhao said: "Brother Tai is really good eyesight, yes, we are indeed here to find things!" ”
Then we sat down together and started talking, and the man sat down with us, with his head behind him. It turned out that he was a person from the town before we entered the mountain, named Liu Fulai, and because he looked black, his nickname was Heizi.
According to him, their ancestors have been robbing tombs for generations, they often come to this deep mountain to dig treasures, three days ago he stumbled upon this cave, he wanted to enter the cave to hunt for treasures, but after two days in the cave did not reach the end of the cave, and the food and water have been eaten and drunk, so he wanted to go out to get some food and water and then go in and continue to go deeper, the sarcophagus in the stone chamber we are in is actually the entrance to the next stone chamber, so he will come out of the sarcophagus.
When we heard this, we thought that he was a good grave robber, so we wanted to win him over so that he could take us deeper into the depths, so we took out all the food and water for him to eat and drink, and he must have not eaten for a day, and he was not polite, but took the food and devoured it. When he was full of food and drink, we told him that we wanted him to take us in, and he was very happy and agreed, just enough to have enough food and water for the four of us to last another week.
At this time, Lao Zhao said: "I said Brother Heizi, if you enter this cave alone, and you go so deep, aren't you afraid?" I saw Kuroko wipe his mouth and said: "I have always acted alone, and I am not afraid that it will be a lie, you look at this!" As he spoke, he picked up the head of the man behind him and showed us it, although it was just a dry dead head, but it was still a little scary to put it in front of our eyes.
Kuroko continued: "I found a lot of human heads like this in the depths of the cave, and I was a little scared at that time, so I picked up a human head and tied it around my waist with its hair. ”
I was a little surprised after listening to Kuroko's words, to be honest, this is the first time I've heard of such a bold method, but no matter what, being able to enter the depths of the cave alone still makes me very impressed.
Next, we chatted with Kuroko about the situation in the depths of the cave for a while, and learned from Kuroko's mouth that there was still a lot of space inside, and Kuroko speculated that this was probably an underground tomb, and judging from the complexity of the construction and the size of the space, the owner of the ancient tomb must have been a person of great status in ancient times. After entering the next stone chamber from the sarcophagus, there are many forks in the road, Kuroko walked one of them casually, and it took two days to walk, this road leads to a large natural cave, in the depths of the cave, Kuroko found a lot of human heads like he held in his hands, and all of them are hideous and twisted, and only the human head has no body, judging from the hairstyle of the human head, it is definitely not a modern person, and I don't know what the reason is, the human head in the cave is not rotten, just dry, and I don't know why there are so many human heads there. When Kuroko walked to the place where there was a human head, there was little food and water left, so he had to turn around and come back.
We chatted with Kuroko for almost an hour, and we didn't tell Kuroko about the spirit mirror, we just said that we also went in to find the treasure to sell for money, and Kuroko didn't ask much, so we didn't say much. Soon we all got acquainted, and we called each other brothers.
Then we entered the sarcophagus one by one, this time with Kuroko leading the way, followed by a few of us, and inside the sarcophagus was a staircase made of bronze smelted straight down, and we soon followed the staircase to the bottom.
