We walked down the spiral steps, walked for a long time and felt that the front was gradually spacious, the faint firelight illuminated the end of the steps, Tian Ji stopped in front of the beckoning, I walked over with Gong Jue, Tian Ji squatted down, where the fingers, we saw a pair of blood-red shoe prints.

I took the torch and looked forward, and found that the shoe print continued to the steps behind us, and after squatting on the ground and examining it carefully, I was very sure that this shoe print would definitely not be left by the tomb repairer, and it could be inferred from the pattern of the sole that it was a brown linen shoe, and judging by the color of the bloodstains, it would not be more than two hundred years old.

"Besides us, there are other people who have come into this tomb." The palace lord looked up at me and said seriously.

I frowned in surprise, the rammed earth at the entrance to the tomb was very complete, and there was no trace of opening in the tomb passage, and the tomb door had been closed until we arrived, and if someone had entered the tomb first, I really couldn't understand where to enter the tomb.

"There is only one pair of shoe prints, and there is only one person here." Tian Ji stood up and said affirmatively.

"No matter how this person got in, at least it means that this tomb should have been stolen, and most of the things we are looking for are probably no longer in it." The palace lord looked at me with a grim expression.

"No, the corpse eels and Hades leeches we encountered in the tomb before should be kept here by the tomb owner to prevent anyone from robbing the tomb, but although these two things have an extremely long lifespan and can live for hundreds of years, this ancient tomb is thousands of years old." I shook my head and said thoughtfully. "You don't wonder why the corpse eel and the Hades leech can survive until now in the closed underground burial chamber, not to mention that the Hades leech will only reproduce after eating, judging from the number of rotting leeches in the burial chamber above, I am afraid that the reproduction is not once or twice."

"In the shoe prints, they do not come down from the steps, but from the inside to the outside...... "Tian Ji's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized." This man did not enter through the tomb door through the tomb passage, but through the innermost part of the tomb, and walked outward? ”

"Go out...... There are corpse eels and Yama leeches in the tomb outside, can they go out and die? The palace lord frowned and wondered.

"It's not to die, it's to feed the monsters in the tomb, the corpse eels and Hades leeches have survived until now because someone has been raising them, not to rob the tomb, but to extend the life of these monsters to protect the secrets hidden in this ancient tomb." I pointed to the bloody shoe prints on the ground, and my face was solemn

Someone visited here two hundred years ago, it should have been the last time to feed those monsters in the tomb, the female corpse controlled by the Hades leech, the face has begun to decompose, indicating that the Hades leech can not maintain the vitality of the corpse, and it must be time to feed it again.

Counting the time we entered this ancient tomb, it happened to be the time when the corpse eels and Hades leeches needed to eat, I never believed in coincidences, not to mention the matter of life and death, this is definitely a planned trap, someone deliberately led us into the ancient tomb, the purpose is to use us to feed those hungry and bloodthirsty monsters!

Tian Ji scolded angrily, saying that this matter was clearly set up by the black-clothed people, and if he said this, the gold lord who visited the tomb in the northern pit knew what was in this ancient tomb from beginning to end, and looking for so many people was not to visit the tomb at all, but to find someone to send him to death.

Gong Jue has always been calm, pondered for a long time and shook his head, he said that if all this is arranged by the gold owner, it is too ostentatious, according to Liu Tian's words, the gold owner's origin is unknown but his identity is not low, he really wants to drag some people down to die, there is no need to go to great lengths to do so many things, since the main purpose of raising these monsters is to protect the secrets in this ancient tomb, then the location of this ancient tomb is known to fewer people, the better, why bother to find so many people to visit the tomb.

I think the same as the palace lord, the gold lord who has never appeared mysteriously, I'm afraid he doesn't know that there are these monsters in this ancient tomb, and he may be the same as us, he is also being used, and the one who really arranges all this should be the person who revealed the news to the gold lord.

This person is using the gold lord to borrow a knife to kill people, it seems that Ye Jiuqing's worry is correct, once the news of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace comes out, it will inevitably cause another bloody storm.

"So what now?" Tian Ji asked.

"Now it's much easier." I looked at the shoe prints and said with a faint smile. "Since someone has entered, and they have not passed through the tomb door, it means that there is another exit from this tomb, and the footprints are from the inside out, indicating that the exit should be inside the main tomb."

Tian Ji slapped his thigh and turned his anger into joy, saying that since the people who came in were not tomb robbers and raised a group of monsters to protect here, it meant that the things in the tomb were still there, and this trip was nine deaths, and he couldn't go out empty-handed no matter what.

We continued to walk inside, except for the bag that the palace lord was still carrying, we had lost all our tools and equipment, the faint light of the fire was difficult to penetrate the darkness, we were walking on thin ice at every step, we didn't know what else was waiting for us in the darkness ahead, and now the only weapon left was the dagger in Tian Ji's hand.

The more we go inside, the more empty we feel, in the firelight we see the white marble steps up, which is engraved with exquisite lines, in the middle of the steps is a carved dignified lotus flower, which is called step by step lotus, which means that the tomb owner ascends to the West Bliss after his death, if I guess correctly, the end of the steps should be the coffin of the tomb owner, which is the core tomb of this ancient tomb.

The steps are dignified and solemn, it is rare to see a normal thing in this ancient tomb, I think that since this is the main tomb, no one wants to die in peace, there should not be any monsters here, there are handrails on both sides of the steps, I lean on it to let everyone rest first, I have been exhausted from all my attention along the way.

I put my hand on the armrest, it felt very cold, and it was not very hard, I could feel my fingers sink into it with a little force, there was a feeling of touching the skin, I chuckled in my heart, and turned around suddenly, Tian Ji and Gong Jue were also startled when they saw my panicked appearance.

I took the torch of the field chicken, slowly walked to the handrail, and took a look, goosebumps appeared all over my body instantly, and the torch in my hand was almost not scared off, it was not a handrail at all, but a full-term baby, which should have been dead for a long time, but it did not rot, the delicate skin was dark, and the thin blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen in many places on the body.

I mustered up the courage to tremble and pressed my fingers on the dead baby's body, the skin was still elastic, except that it was cold, it was no different from a sleeping baby, I took a step to the side, and found that there was a baby corpse not far away, the same posture as the previous one, which was placed on the pillar next to the steps.

There is a groove under the baby corpse, which is filled with fish oil, since this is the main burial chamber, there will definitely be no corpse eels, I hesitated for a moment, but still ignited the fish oil, the burning fire like a fire dragon began to spread rapidly, we subconsciously retreated, and witnessed the fire dragon spiraling and burning up the steps until it illuminated the entire burial chamber.

The three of us were stunned, this was a trapezoidal burial chamber with six layers of altar-like shape, this was the first time I had seen such a burial chamber, and the most terrifying thing was that there was a closed infant corpse on each evenly spaced pillar, and it was all male infants, about a hundred such dead babies.

In the firelight, the eyes of those infant corpses were abrupt, their bodies were stiff and white, and the black blood could be clearly seen in the veins under the skin.

Each pillar where the infant corpse is placed is engraved with words, each layer is different, the font is a small seal, which is in line with the age of the ancient tomb, and the small seal is the mainstream text in the Western Han Dynasty.

The stone pillar on the first layer is engraved with hell, the second layer is engraved with hungry ghosts, the third layer is engraved with beasts, and the field chicken still wants to go up to identify the other inscriptions, I stopped at the third layer, slowly opened my mouth and began to retreat, and asked the field chicken loudly, the fourth layer is engraved with only one word, people.

Tian Ji nodded on it, he and the palace lord came back and asked me how I knew, I was secretly shocked in my heart, I once saw a way of burial in the eyes of the ground, called the infant coffin to support the corpse, which is an extremely evil way of burial, called evil burial.

I didn't understand why this ancient tomb was chosen in such a fierce place as the Xuanwu Hanging Seal, but now that I see these six layers of infant corpses, I finally understand the true intentions of the tomb owner.
