Chapter 345: The Living and the Dead
For a moment, the whole burial chamber was a little silent, and none of us dared to act rashly until we found out the identity of the person who came.
The only thing that is certain is that the man standing at the door of the tomb is not a tomb robber, otherwise he should have done something to us a long time ago.
But even so, we are all too nervous. This person mysteriously appeared at the door of the tomb, obviously very familiar with this ancient tomb, could it be that he is the tomb keeper of the tomb of King Chen of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
If that's the case, then we're all going to suffer, and the outcome is probably not much better than the grave robbers.
What surprised me even more was still to come, the ghost-faced spider who had been napping in the tomb suddenly woke up, and after glancing at the person at the door of the tomb, he also showed a frightened appearance, and did not dare to make any movement at all.
This station was more than two minutes, and the man at the door of Mu Shi never made any movement, standing motionless like a stone sculpture, and I even had some doubts about whether he was a living person.
"Xiao Yan, we shouldn't have provoked something that shouldn't be provoked, right?" In the end, I still couldn't bear it and whispered to Li Huiyan.
"I don't know, let's see first." Li Huiyan replied in a low voice.
Since the person at the door of the tomb appeared, the entire tomb has become a little chilly for some reason, as if it has suddenly dropped several degrees.
For fear of angering the man at the tomb gate, I didn't take the liberty of shining a flashlight on his face, even though I was curious about his appearance.
The atmosphere froze, and the only thing that was certain was that the man standing at the entrance of the tomb was a man. Although his hair is very long, almost reaching the waist, it does not have the femininity that a girl should have, but looks a little unusual.
After another two minutes, the man at the door of the tomb still hadn't moved, and his neck hadn't turned a bit.
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart, if someone really wanted to trouble us, I would have admitted it, and it was unbearable to torture us silently like this.
"Hey, who the hell are you, can you say something?" I shouted loudly to the man at the door of the tomb.
After the voice came out, there was still no response, but I saw that the man twisted his neck stiffly after hearing my voice, as if looking at me with slanted eyes.
Since he can understand my words, it proves that the person who came is not a wooden stake, but I am relieved.
But the man didn't answer us, which made me feel a little strange, it couldn't be that he was just here to spy on us, right?
I've never been in a situation like this, and even when I was in danger before, I wasn't so nervous as I am now, but now I can't help but feel a little scared.
Although the man at the door of the tomb did not speak, it gave people a sense of oppression for no reason, as if as long as he moved, our lives might be lost.
At this time, we have to be as aggrieved as we are, not to mention that I don't dare to act rashly, even Xiao Yue, who is usually very arrogant, is standing honestly in place at the moment, obviously shocked by the person at the door of the tomb.
"No matter who you are, you should at least tell me your purpose, right?" I shouted again to the man at the door of the tomb.
My words were still in the sea, and they did not stir up the slightest wave, and this time the man at the door of the tomb did not even twist his neck, as if he had not heard my words at all.
"Zhang Sansan, you don't have to go out of your way to talk to him, he won't take care of you." Li Huiyan said.
"Why don't you ignore me? Whether it's a friend or an enemy, there should always be a purpose, and the most basic conversation should always have it, right? I said.
"I don't know, it's just a gut feeling." Li Huiyan said.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh to myself, and I didn't say anything more.
We've been through this tomb a lot, but there's never been a time like this.
I shouted twice at the door of the tomb without any response, which made me a little suspicious. Even in the face of the anti-theft mechanism in the tomb, you should always shoot two crossbow arrows when you touch it, let alone a big living person.
After a while, nearly ten minutes had passed since the mysterious man appeared, and we still didn't dare to act rashly. And the one standing at the door of the tomb didn't move, as if he didn't care about us people at all.
"Sister Lizi, I can't stand it anymore, who is this person?" Xiao Yue complained in a low voice on the side.
"If only I knew who he was, now let's take it one step at a time, and I can only pray that he won't be an enemy, or I feel like we're all going to die here." Li Huiyan said.
As Li Huiyan said, if the one at the door of the tomb is really an enemy, we can't be his opponent at all.
Although he had never spoken from the beginning and had never shown his strength, it could be seen from the fearful appearance of the ghost-faced spider that this person was definitely terrifying.
"But it's not a way to continue like this, is it possible that we have to spend time with him all the time?" Xiao Yue said again.
"Let's see, if nothing happens for a while, we'll do our own thing, and I'm sure he'll do something." Li Huiyan said.
Because the white hair completely covered the face, we couldn't tell the age of the visitor, and we didn't know if he was a young man or a drooping old man.
However, if his hair was not deliberately dyed in that snow-white color, it is estimated that it is more likely to be the latter.
"Do you smell anything?" At this moment, Qin Gong sniffed in the air with his nose and asked.
"I don't smell anything, can it be that you smell it?" I also sniffed like Qin Gong, but I didn't smell anything special, so I said.
"I don't smell anything." Li Huiyan also shook her head and said.
The others shook their heads one after another, indicating that they didn't smell anything special in the tomb.
"No, there must be a smell, you smell it carefully." Qin Gong said with certainty.
I'm a little strange, why would Qin Gong say so surely, could it be that there is really something in this tomb? But if there is, why is he the only one who smells it, and none of us feel it?
With doubts in my heart, I sniffed carefully again.
As before, I didn't get anything out of it at first, and the smell in the tomb was the same as when we first came in.
But just as I was about to speak, a strange smell began to appear in the air.
I thought there was something wrong with my sense of smell, so I sniffed more carefully, and soon the strange smell that was originally faint became obvious.
"Don't say it, I really smell a little bit of it." I said a little dumbfounded.
Li Huiyan didn't speak, she closed her eyes and sniffed seriously, and after a while she opened her eyes and said, "I seem to smell something, but I'm not sure what it is." ”
I originally thought that Qin Gong's words just now were just nonsense, but I didn't expect that we really smelled that smell now, could it be that this smell is related to the mysterious person who appeared at the door of the tomb?
"Sister Lizi, why can't I smell anything?" Xiao Yue said with a blank face.
"I don't smell anything." Dong Shuang also followed suit.
"If you smell it carefully, you may be able to smell it, and I can't teach you anything about this." Li Huiyan said.
Although after Qin Gong, Li Huiyan and I also smelled the smell of the tomb one after another, but if I really want to say what it smells like, I really can't say anything.
Because the smell in the tomb was so faint, and our clothes were stained in many places along the way, so that we had a strange smell on our bodies, and the two smells were mixed together, and there was no way to distinguish what was there.
"Qin Gong, you were the first to smell this smell, can you tell what this smell is?" I asked Qin Gong.
"It's not that difficult, what you just smelled was the smell of corpses." Qin Gong said.
"It turned out to be just the smell of corpses, isn't that normal, there is a coffin behind us, maybe the smell of corpses comes from the coffin." I said.
"Unlikely, I just looked closely at the coffin in the middle of the burial chamber and found that the original craftsman sealed it well. Moreover, every crevice of the coffin was also covered with lime, and it was impossible to convey the smell. The worker shook his head and said.
"This coffin is more than a thousand years old, even if it is sealed well, there will definitely be some gaps, and you may not have seen the gap where the smell comes out." I said.
If the smell of corpses in the tomb hadn't come from the coffin, it would have appeared out of thin air. Although we have also touched the entity in the ice coffin in the sixth tomb before, because too much time has passed, and the corpse in the ice coffin has been frozen for many years, there is no possibility of any corpse smell.
"Absolutely impossible, I think the smell of corpses in the burial chamber must have come from that person." Qin Gong said.
I immediately understood what Qin Gong meant, and the person he was referring to was probably the mysterious person standing at the door of the tomb.
But how can a living person have the smell of corpses on his body, could it be that the one standing not far from us is not a living person, but a dead corpse?
As soon as I thought of this, my whole body was not calm, and I became a little jealous when I looked at the person at the door of the tomb.
The mysterious man at the door of the tomb never said a word since he appeared, and no matter how we asked him, he never spoke, which seemed to confirm from the side that what Qin Gong said was true.
However, things always need evidence, and in order to confirm whether what Qin Gong said was true or not, I decided to take a few steps forward with courage.
If the stench of corpses in the tomb really came from the man at the tomb door, the smell would have been stronger when I got closer.
"Xiao Yan, all of you should be careful, if the person at the door of the tomb is really not a living person, I'm afraid that some people will be unkind." I said to Li Huiyan and others.
