Chapter 353: Revenge
"Maybe, I think it's better to take a look, you all be careful." I thought about it and said.
That scene just now is so real that if I can't figure out if there is anyone else in this tomb, I'm afraid I'll always be suspicious.
I got up and walked towards the previous stone sculpture, and as soon as I walked inside, I noticed that something was wrong.
The bull-headed horse-faced stone carvings in the burial chamber are next to each other, and the back is also close to the stone wall of the burial chamber.
In other words, the back of the stone sculpture is not to mention the standing person, even a cat cannot accommodate it, but I did see someone poking his head out from behind the stone statue just now, how can this be explained?
For a moment, I felt that the whole burial chamber was a little chilly, and for no reason I shivered. If what we just saw was really just an illusion, it was nothing, but if it wasn't an illusion, the person who poked his head out and peeked at us might not be a person.
Filled with doubts, I returned to the crowd again, and at the same time kept an eye out for everything in the tomb.
If that peeping at us reappears in a moment, it will prove that I am not delusional, whether he is a human or a ghost, as long as I find out whether he exists or not.
"How's it going, have you found anything?" Seeing me walking back, Li Huiyan immediately asked.
"I didn't find it, maybe I was really dazzled." I said. After all, this kind of thing is too strange, and in order not to keep everyone worried, I can only explain it like this.
"Well, it's fine." Li Huiyan nodded and said. After resting for a few minutes, Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang, who were originally in a daze, finally sobered up a little, and they were already able to remember a lot of things at this time.
"Sister Lizi, did I faint by myself just now?" Xiao Yue asked.
"Well, think about it, what strange things happened when you looked at the black-backed ants and the corpses of the blood locusts on the ground?" Li Huiyan said.
"Nothing strange happened, the rice cake said let's not touch the corpse on the ground, I haven't even touched the corpse." Xiao Yue shook his head and said.
"Is there really nothing going on? Think about it again. Li Huiyan said again.
"It's really not, if there is, I'll definitely be able to think of it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Dong Shuang." Xiao Yue still shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Dong Shuang also shook his head again and again, and it seemed that he really couldn't remember anything.
"If that's the case, then it's a little strange, why is it inexplicably poisoned?" I said.
In my opinion, no matter what caused the poisoning of the two people, there must be some signs.
But now that both of them said that there was nothing out of the ordinary, and that they had not touched the corpses on the floor of the cemetery, it was a bit unusual.
"By the way, I remember, before I passed out, I wanted to complain that the smell of those corpses was too difficult, and then I fainted inexplicably." Xiao Yue said.
"Are you sure you fainted after smelling those corpses, am you mistaken?" My heart moved, and I asked.
"There will be no mistake, I also heard Xiao Yue's words, and we all think that the smell of those corpses is very bad." Dong Shuang said first.
"Could it be that your poisoning has something to do with the strange smell of those corpses in the tomb?" Li Huiyan was a little surprised, paused and continued: "But this explanation is also a bit far-fetched, after all, those smells are not only smelled by the two of you, but all of us in the tomb have smelled that smell." ”
"If that's the case, I can't really think of anything, nothing special else happens." Xiao Yue said.
"Alright, you've just woken up, sit on the ground and rest for a while, and we'll move on when you're regained." Li Huiyan said.
After speaking, Li Huiyan glanced at me meaningfully, and then walked towards the corner of the tomb. I immediately understood what Li Huiyan meant, and after a slight hesitation, I quickly followed.
"Xiao Yan, do you have anything to say to me?" Walking up to Li Huiyan, I asked.
"It should be that you have something to say to me, how about it, did you hear any useful information from Xiao Yue's words just now?" Li Huiyan said.
"You guessed it, I do have some ideas. I thought the smell in the tomb was a little weird, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, the smell of blackback ants and blood locusts mixed together is mostly poisonous. I thought about it and said.
"Do you also think that the smell in the tomb made Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang poisoned? But all of us smell that smell, why are only the two of them poisoned, don't you think it's a little unreasonable? Li Huiyan asked.
"It's a little unreasonable, but I still think that Xiao Yue's poisoning must be related to the smell in the tomb, otherwise I can't think of any other possibility." I said.
"Can you tell us why you think that?" Li Huiyan asked again.
"I don't know, it's just a gut feeling, and I think those smells weird at first." I shook my head and said.
In fact, I had doubts in my heart as early as the blackback ants first appeared, and the blood locusts had not yet woken up.
Why would the owner of the tomb put these two extremely bloodthirsty and brutal things together, whether it is a black-backed ant or a blood locust, almost all of them can be alone, and it would be better to separate the two to guard the mausoleum, right?
With the character of the blackback ant and the blood locust, there will definitely be problems when put together, and in the end, the two will inevitably fight each other, which will make the defense in the tomb useless.
Since this tomb was built with care, I am sure that the owner of the tomb will definitely understand what the consequences of putting blackback ants and blood locusts together, but why he still insists on putting these two things together, it is worth thinking.
It seems to me that the owner of the tomb may have wanted to take advantage of the bloodthirsty and brutal nature of the blackback ants and the blood locusts to make them kill each other in order to achieve what he really wanted.
Just imagine, if the smell of the corpses of the two is really poisonous when mixed together, then the people who enter the ancient tomb will definitely not be aware of it.
As long as it is a normal person, after seeing the blackback ants and blood locusts killing each other, they will definitely breathe a sigh of relief, so that the whole person will relax their vigilance, and they will not think about whether the smell of those corpses in the tomb is highly poisonous.
Having said that, Li Huiyan's words are not unreasonable. In addition to Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang's accident, the other four of us also smelled the strange smell of the corpses in the tomb, especially since Li Huiyan and I had the most contact.
Since Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang will be poisoned because of this, why are the rest of us fine, is it possible that this kind of strange poison will open its eyes and pick on people who are not in good health?
The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, and even I can't explain it, and there must be other reasons we don't know.
"I thought about it, I just don't know if it's right, if that's the case, then the owner of this ancient tomb is too terrible." Li Huiyan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said.
"What? Tell me, maybe that's the case? I quickly asked. Li Huiyan is delicate, and she can always think of many things that I ignore on weekdays, which is why I always ask her when I encounter something.
"Zhang Sansan, do you recall what different things Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang have done with us? Only the sixth tomb and the seventh tomb are remembered. Li Huiyan did not answer directly, but said.
"Something different? Doesn't seem like it, we've always been together, huh? I thought about it and said.
"If you think about it, there must be." Li Huiyan said. I was a little puzzled, looking at Li Huiyan's confident expression, I must have thought of something, so I seriously recalled it again.
After a while, I said: "If you have to say that Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang have done anything different from us, I'm afraid it's because they're afraid of the cold and have been hiding outside that cave with a cold pool, right?" Could it be that this has something to do with their poisoning? After saying this, I also felt a little incredible, and finally understood why Li Huiyan said that the owner of the tomb was terrible.
"I don't know if I'm right, but my gut tells me there's a connection. Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang were afraid of the cold, so they hid outside the cave from beginning to end, while most of us spent a lot of time in the cave. Li Huiyan said.
"Hearing you say that, I'm starting to think there's a connection between the two. The only ones who have not stayed in the cave for a long time are Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang, and this time it happened to be them who were inexplicably poisoned, could it be because we have been in the cave for so long, so we have not been poisoned. I said.
If it weren't for Li Huiyan mentioning this matter, I wouldn't have thought about it at all, I'm afraid that the reason for Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang's inexplicable poisoning will remain a mystery.
"It's just the two of us who know about it, after all, there is no direct evidence that there is a connection between the two. If others learn about the horror of the tomb owner, I am afraid that they will inevitably be afraid of it next. Li Huiyan said.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." I nodded.
"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you, I really want to recall about this bull-headed horse-faced stone carving." Li Huiyan said again.
"What, Xiao Yan, have you seen such a stone sculpture in other places before?" I asked.
"I haven't seen it, but my grandfather did, and I read it from one of his archaeological codex." Li Huiyan shook her head, and then said: "According to my grandfather's records, they have also conducted archaeological excavations in a Han Dynasty tomb before, and they have also unearthed many stone carvings like this one. ”
"Then did your grandfather say what these bull-headed horse-faced stone carvings are for?" I asked.
"Of course I mentioned that they are used to guard the Yin Yang Temple." Li Huiyan said.
