Chapter 19: The Yin Soldier Borrows the Way
The torches were blown out by the strong wind in the burial chamber, and I was about to touch the lighter when suddenly I heard a rhythmic sound in the darkness, like the sound of bones breaking.
I have dug a lot of graves with the general, but they have all been stolen, and I am the same as Tian Ji, this is the first time I have really gone down to a tomb that has not been dug up, and this creepy voice makes me a little uneasy.
Hurriedly re-lit the torch, and saw Gongjue and Tian Ji staring at the darkness in front of them with a vigilant face, the light of the torch could not penetrate the darkness, and the sound that echoed in our ears continued to come, that is, from in front of us.
After walking a few steps forward, I found that the tomb door that had been opened before seemed to be stuck by something, and it kept closing back and forth, we were relieved, and the palace lord cautiously walked over to check, Tian Ji still held the gun tightly and looked nervous, I used the firelight to help the palace lord illuminate, only to find that the door groove under the tomb door was stuck by a human bone.
I asked the pheasants to help clean up, but I always felt that the wind blowing from behind the tomb door was very strange, as if countless resentful spirits were wailing in my ears, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching me in the darkness.
I hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked towards the tomb door that was not fully opened, the light of the fire gradually illuminated the darkness, and the wind was much lighter than before, and the swaying firelight ......
I really saw a pair of eyes!
I felt sweat seeping out of my palms, and I could even hear the sound of my own heartbeat, and slowly stretched the torch forward a little more, and suddenly a hideous-looking head, with no flesh and skin and bones, hung down from the darkness, and stopped in front of me impartially, staring at me with two black holes and sunken eyes.
I was so frightened that I almost screamed, and suddenly I heard a click behind me, and the palace lord and Tian Ji finally pulled out the human bones that were stuck in the tomb door, and then I heard the sound of bones hitting each other behind the tomb door.
Before we could react, in the faint light of the fire, I saw countless corpses from behind the tomb door, and the Yin soldiers rushed towards us like a mountain of people, at that moment I was really frightened, my body did not obey the call and stood stiffly in place, Tian Ji and Gong Jue's reaction was the same as me, and I was instantly thrown to the ground by the corpses that swarmed from the opposite side.
Then came an even thicker ugliness, and I desperately pushed my hands in front of me, and the jawbones of the corpse that pounced on me continued to open and close, as if to bite and devour the intruder.
Suddenly there was a gunshot in my ears, and the gunfire was particularly eye-catching in the dark tomb, accompanied by the deafening gunshots, I saw Tian Ji scolding furiously, while pulling the trigger on the corpses that pounced in front of him, and the corpses that were hit were immediately shattered and splashed everywhere.
A whole magazine of bullets, Tian Ji instantly shot out, only heard the sound of the firing pin empty bullet in the tomb, Tian Ji still kept pulling the trigger, feeling that the whole person was a little mentally abnormal, Gong Jue was the only person who could still keep calm, but he also grabbed the neck bone of a corpse with one hand, and held the May Fourth pistol against the corpse's head with the other hand.
Gong Jue didn't shoot, only the sound of Tian Ji pulling the trigger was left in the tomb, and no corpses rushed towards us, Gong Jue pushed away the corpses on his body and held down Tian Ji's hand.
"Don't detain it, there's nothing to be afraid of, these bones should be the people who built here, and the tomb owner trapped these people in the tomb and starved to death in order to keep it a secret."
"Don't be afraid...... Aren't you afraid of what your hands are shaking? The field chicken gasped.
I saw that the palace lord's hand kept shaking, I was panting and lying on the ground, and said with palpitations, these people are the people who built the mausoleum, but they should not starve to death, and there are hundreds of people who are crowded behind the tomb door, and they should be forced to be cornered here.
Speaking of which, I picked up a broken human bone from the side and shook it at the palace lord and the field chicken, the bones of starving people will not starve like this, these corpses are rotten to varying degrees, as if they have been corroded by something.
Tian Ji got up from the ground, probably frightened, and picked up the corpses on the ground with a frenzied face and smashed them on the ground, and did not forget to scold loudly in his mouth: "Thief, your mother, after thousands of years of death, it is about to turn into firewood, and you came out to scare Lao Tzu." ”
Gong Jue and I propped ourselves up and sat on the ground, no one stopped Tian Ji, he was irritable, and he was scared a lot just now, if he didn't let him vent, he might be able to hold back his troubles, not to mention the person who can compete with a corpse that has been dead for thousands of years, don't expect him to calm down somewhere.
When I got up, I felt something slimy on my chest, and when I looked down, I didn't know what was in my hand, white mucus, and I smelled very fishy, and this was the smell of the fishy wind I smelled before, I picked up the torch and looked around, and found that these corpses had more or less such mucus on them.
Footsteps sounded behind him, Tian Ji also stopped, turned around and saw Liu Tian's people all down, followed by a person wearing black clothes, I pointed to the tomb door to signal that you can go in, black clothes shook their heads, let us also follow in, this tomb I always feel that the evil door is very, there is an indescribable feeling, originally thought that there was nothing to do with us when the tomb door was opened, it is estimated that the black clothes are worried that there will be trouble ahead, and take us safer.
I looked at Tian Ji and Gong Jue and asked for their opinions, Tian Ji looked angry, and threw the corpse in his hand on the ground: "I haven't been scared like this when I'm so big, I don't bring something out today, I'm sorry for Lao Tzu's cold sweat." ”
Gong Jue looked at me next to me and nodded silently, I wiped the sweat on my forehead, got up from the ground, and saw Liu Tian's people and black clothes standing still, I should have seen that the corpses and bones on the ground were somewhat jealous, and wanted the three of us to go ahead.
I cursed in my heart, I didn't plant.
Boldly and the palace lord and Tian Ji slowly walked behind the tomb door, in the firelight I saw that there were jagged stalagmites on the ground, the torches could not illuminate the whole tomb, this place was bigger than I imagined, and the people behind me also followed one after another, I found a groove in the stone wall next to it, there was a slippery liquid in it, put it on the tip of the nose and smell it, it smelled of fishy grease.
The groove should be fish oil, used for tomb lighting, generally used as an everlasting lamp, it stands to reason that so much fish oil will not be extinguished even if it is lit for thousands of years, I don't know why it seems to have been deliberately extinguished, I think it is the mountain of corpses that are blocked in the tomb door.
Rumble!
I turned my head and saw a fire burning on both sides of the stone wall, and the tomb robbers behind me lit the fish oil, and it was too late to stop it, the fish oil in the groove burned rapidly, and the whole tomb gradually appeared in front of us completely.
Click!
Halfway through the burning, we suddenly heard a low loud noise behind us, and when we turned around, we found that the huge stone tomb door that had been opened before was closed again, and the speed of closure was too fast, and before we could react, the tomb door had been completely closed.
The most fearful thing about tomb robbing is to cut off the back road, the tomb robbers inside are suddenly a little flustered, the palace lord is worried that these people will trigger the mechanism again, he hurriedly walked to the tomb door to check, and then shook his head at us with a gloomy face, telling us that the mechanism of the tomb door can only be opened from the outside, once it is closed from the inside, it cannot be opened anyway, which is why so many migrant workers who participated in the construction of this place will eventually be trapped here, and the mechanism of the tomb door is two-sided, and if it is forcibly opened, it will be killed by crossbow arrows.
This means that it is impossible for us to return the way we came, the only way out is blocked, and if there is no other way out of this tomb, we will end up like the grave builders who are trapped and killed.
There was no way back but to move on, and the lit fish oil lit up the entire tomb, and when we looked back at the tomb, everyone was stunned and frightened.
As far as the eye can see, the entire tomb is full of shocking bloodstains, as well as scattered corpses, the blood stains have turned black, it can be seen that they were left a long time ago, judging from the traces of a large area of blood on the ground, there should have been a massacre here, blood splashed everywhere and no one survived, like paint dyeing the gray tomb blood-red.
But what puzzled me was that after Tian Ji squatted on the ground to examine the corpses, he told me with certainty that none of these people had any wounds on their bodies, and that all the 100 people died here, but there was no trace of the battle in the tomb at all.
"This tomb is evil, I heard the elders say that seeing blood in the tomb is a bad omen, and it will provoke ghosts, and most of these people are killed by the ghosts in the tomb......"
Bang!
A tomb robber was just halfway through speaking, the man in black standing next to him took out a gun, and without saying a word, he shot him in the head, and the tomb robber was killed on the spot, and the man in black looked cold: "Evil words confuse the public, and those who disturb people's hearts with strange forces will die!" ”
