Chapter 25: The Dried Corpse
"Shhh
The moment the bark was removed, what was revealed inside made everyone present gasp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's... This..."Zhang Man stammered a little and wanted to say something, but before he could say it, he ran to the side and vomited.
Because, in the trunk that Zhang Huanqing opened, what was revealed was a dried corpse, it was yellowed, the skin on its body was only wrinkled together, its expression was distorted, as if it had been struggling before it was born, and it looked extremely disgusting.
"Are all these trunks full of dried corpses like this?" I looked at the scene in front of me in amazement and asked tremblingly.
Zhang Huanqing turned his head to look at me, "Just try it." So saying, he walked over to another trunk, and then made a few strokes on it, and as before, after the bark fell, revealing the same dried corpses as before, and they all seemed to have struggled in pain, and their expressions were twisted.
"So the trunk is all intact, how did these people get in?" The scene in front of me was so weird, why people were put in this trunk, and how they were put in it, everything was so weird.
Zhang Huanqing thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the top, "We don't know what this top is, it's those trees outside?" Or is there another place, if you analyze the current situation, it should be to hollow out the entire trunk from above, and then put these people in, as for what the reason is, it is estimated that only the owner of this tomb knows. ”
"It's a sacrifice!" Professor Li on the side suddenly said quietly.
We all turned our heads to look at him quizzically.
"This is a kind of sacrifice, and it is also a kind of punishment, putting people who have made mistakes or great sins, into this hollow wood or hollow bronze pillar, starving to death, and then injecting a liquid into it, so that they will become dried corpses, sealed here forever, to atone for their sins, to protect." Professor Li's expression was very serious, and I felt a little hairy when I looked at it.
"It's... Wouldn't that be a little too cruel. Zhang Man said with some unbearability.
"Hey, cruel? In ancient times, this kind of punishment was often used. In their eyes, there is no such thing as cruelty. Professor Li said lightly.
"Leave this alone, look disgusting, let's continue, since the secret passage leads here, it means that the main burial chamber should be below here. Let's take a look. I said impatiently. I don't know how, but I always have a feeling of distraction after entering this space underneath.
The people nodded, not looking at the dried corpses in the trunks, and walked forward.
It's a very large space, and there are so many stout trees, and I don't know what's going on, but I suddenly have a ridiculous idea of what we're going to do if all the dead bodies in these trees come back to life.
I don't know how long I walked, the space in front of me is getting bigger and bigger, the top has changed from three meters before, to now, when I look up, it is almost more than ten meters high, and the trunk of the tree that I saw before, now I can see it, is a whole tree, and those trees are still very dense, we all feel that this is very unreasonable, in the underground, how can such a dense tree grow, and, how did such a large space form?
"Everyone, be careful, it's too weird here." Zhang Huanqing walked in front and said with some concern.
"Look! What is that? Zhang Man, who had been silent, suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.
In the direction he was pointing, what could be seen was a rough outline, which looked like a house, because it was so far away that the outline could only be vaguely seen.
"You said the place we were looking for would be there?" I whispered to Zhang Huanqing.
He shook his head, "I don't know, it's possible, it's still too far away, so I'll have to wait and see." ”
With this discovery, we all quickened our pace and walked towards the vaguely visible silhouette ahead.
Looking at the distance, but walking is extremely tired, I don't know how long I walked, the vaguely visible silhouette is still far away from us.
"No, let's take a break, I'm too tired." Professor Li's physical strength was already a little unable to keep up, and after he said a word out of breath, he sat down.
We all stopped, and to be honest, we were so tired that we sat down, took some dry food out of our bags and ate it.
"Do you think that place is real, why have we been walking for so long, and still so far." I glanced at Zhang Huanqing beside me helplessly, and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, that's the only one we can see now, and the rest of the places are all those counts, and we can only go there." He said lightly.
I had no choice but to nod, and then looked at Zhou Yun, Hou Zifeng was wearing Zhou Yun's mask, and his words became less at this time, and he was sitting there with his head down. After turning his head to look at Tang Hua, he was also silent with Hou Zifeng's mask, and he was sitting far away from Zhang Man. I can't help but want to laugh, it seems that this Tang Hua has been cleaned up by Zhang Man and has a psychological shadow.
"Xiaoyu, come on." Professor Li's voice was heard not far away.
I quickly got up and walked over to Professor Li.
"Xiaoyu, can you show me the fragments of the keys you found." Professor Li looked at me with some embarrassment and whispered.
I nodded, then pulled a small bag out of my backpack and opened it to empty the contents into my hands.
It was four copper pieces that looked very strange, and Professor Li took the copper pieces in my hand tremblingly, "This... Is this really a fragment of the key? ”
I nodded, "We went to a total of four ancient tombs of the Xia Dynasty, and these were all found in the big tripod in the main tomb. ”
"Can you tell me the location of the tombs from before that?" He looked up at me excitedly.
"Uh... This one... The ancient tomb in Tibet is probably enough to choke, because by the time we escaped, it was already flooded by the lake. The rest of the place is fine, but I advise you not to go, there are far more dangers than we encounter now. "I looked at him with real life.
He sighed, "It's better to know than not to know, maybe I can go and see it if I have time, those are rare ruins." ”
"Okay, when I get back, I'll draw the detailed locations of those tombs... Click! ”
