Chapter 708: Mass Grave
"This doesn't make sense, if someone arrived here before us, why should the passage of the Bronze Palace be closed, and it is still with such an earthen wall, if you want to cover up the existence of the Bronze Palace, a few bronze pillars here can be damaged casually and cause this place to collapse, and blocking it with an earthen wall is completely superfluous. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "I said by shining a flashlight on the earthen wall.
"It's hard to find this place, don't let me rejoice." Ye Jiuqing touched the earthen wall with his hand, his fingers could easily sink into the soil layer, and he took out the probe shovel and said to us. "The soil is very soft and easy to dig out, so everyone worked hard to dig a way out of the wall."
We excavated on the earthen wall according to Ye Jiuqing's instructions, and the field chicken dug a few shovels down, and we found that the structure of the earthen wall was a little weird, and before digging a few times, a large area of soil fell one after another, and at this speed, I believe it will not take long to dig through the earthen wall.

Tian Ji's probe shovel hit something, I vaguely heard the sound of cracking, Tian Ji looked dazed and muttered, how to dig to the end so quickly, use the probe shovel to dig the soil, suddenly something sticks out of the soil.
When we looked at it, we were all stunned, it turned out to be an arm bone, the flesh and skin had completely rotted, only the white bones remained, and judging from the size of the dry bones of the fingers, it was actually the bones of a child.
"Here ......"
Tian Ji should have wanted to say why the bones were excavated in the soil, but he was just halfway through his sentence, the earthen wall may have loosened due to excavation, and collapsed suddenly, and before we could react, everything was buried in the soil, and something kept colliding with my body one after another, accompanied by the crisp impact sound one after another.
The torches were extinguished, the flashlight was thrown somewhere, and the whole underground was instantly pitch black.
I groped in the dark, but it was strange that my body was pressed against something, but it wasn't heavy, and I was sure that there was something other than a little dirt.
I heard the exclamations of the others, shouting in the darkness, "Are you all right?" ”
"No, what about you?" It was Ye Jiuqing's voice.
One after another, I heard other people's voices, and nothing seemed to be serious.
"What the is something, whatever you say, it will collapse." Because the field chicken has been digging at the front, his voice is the farthest away from us.
In the darkness I saw that the light of the flashlight was blocked, and only a small light came through the indistinct gaps, which was the only light we could see now.
"Stay where you are, I've found the flashlight." Field chicken reminds us.
There was a sound of rustling in the dark, it was Tian Ji groping for the bright place of the flashlight, and when he picked up the flashlight, I was secretly relieved in my heart, Tian Ji also found the extinguished torch, but when he re-lit the torch, the fire light illuminated the moment around him.
All of us slowly opened our mouths in silence, staring intently at Tian Ji, he looked at us with this look, probably knew that it would not be a good thing, and slowly turned his head behind him.
I heard Tian Ji's creepy exclamation, I have known him for so long, I have never seen him scared like this, he handed him to the ground, and retreated to us in embarrassment.
The torches that fell on the ground, the swirling light of the fire still illuminated the area, and we were so stunned that no one even went over to support the chickens.
The collapsed earthen wall was full of dense skulls and human bones, it was like a wall filled with corpses, and I didn't even have to count how many corpses were in it, but it was all horrible and rotten corpses with only bones left.
"No wonder I can smell the bones, it came from here." The palace lord's voice trembled a little.
Tian Ji retreated to our side and turned pale: "Damn, why are there so many dead people?" ”
Ye Jiuqing squirmed his Adam's apple and picked up the torches on the ground, and there were scattered bones under our feet: "This is evil, it is taboo to visit the tomb and see blood in the soil, what kind of tomb will not go down, I heard the older generation say that I didn't take it seriously, but now I really bumped into it." ”
"Blood in the soil......" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly looked terrified. We saw the blood-soaked soil on it before, and it must have been left by these people. ”
"Don't bother, find the flashlight and torches, I guess I'm going crazy if this place isn't just there." Ye Jiuqing reminded us.
After rediscovering the illumination, I mustered up the courage to walk towards the gap in the earthen wall, and the further I went, the more bones there were, and when I walked into the earthen wall, I couldn't help but lick my lips, and the ground was full of messy dry bones, this was not what made me creepy, there were countless corpses piled up on both sides of the gap.
Like a corridor of dry bones, the black eyes of those skulls stared at me deadly, and the subtle wind blew here, making a chilling sound in the dry bones, as if it came from the wail of a terrible ghost from the depths of the earth.
"This, how many corpses are there?" Shen Bu's words were accompanied by the sound of her teeth clattering.
"The width of the bronze passage is greater than three meters, and the height here is at least seven meters, as for how long I don't know, if all the bones are used to fill the passage, at least ......" Ye Jiuqing wiped his mouth. At least 10,000 people! And it's not even there, the real number is definitely more than that. ”
"This is the Bronze Palace, why are there so many bones?" Xue Xinrou asked tremblingly.
"I think that the people who used to build the Bronze Palace, after the completion of this place, were killed here." Tian Ji said.
"Have you ever seen a place built by a child of five or six years old?" I shone my flashlight at the piles of bones next to me, and the remains of a child stood out in the light. "I've been paying attention all the way, there are a lot of corpses of such children, and some are even younger, even the bones of babies, and I don't think these people were involved in the construction of the Bronze Palace."
"Looking at these remnants of clothing fabrics, they will definitely not be before Yin Shang, there were no such fabrics at that time, it is certain that the time when these bones appeared in the Bronze Palace will not be too far away." Ye Zhiqiu said.
"Then it's strange, since it's not the one who built the Bronze Palace, why did it appear here?" Tian Ji asked in horror.
"These bones seem to be piled up layer by layer, which means that they were driven here when they were alive, but what is the reason why these people appeared in the Bronze Palace?" The palace lord was at a loss.
"It's not an exorcism, these people are not here in life, but after death." Ye Jiuqing handed a skull in front of us, turned the back of his head in the light, and there was a very clear scar on it. "It's a scar from a sharp weapon, and it's very hard, I've just noticed these corpses, and I can almost easily find similar cuts, all of them don't kill them, and then dump the corpses here."
"There are babies and children, men, women and children, that is...... Shen Buregret was surprised." It's a massacre! ”
"There are at least tens of thousands of people here, what is the reason why he was slaughtered?" Tian Ji was dumbfounded.
"I want to know who is the one who slaughtered these people?" I frowned, and my voice was low.
"I know why these bones are in the Bronze Palace." Gong Jue touched the corpses on both sides with his hands and said loudly.
"Why?"
"Think about it, there are at least tens of thousands of corpses here, regardless of why these people were slaughtered, but what will happen to these corpses after death?"
"Of course I dug a pit and buried it." Xue Xinrou said.
"And this used to be the channel of the Wen River, and it was the easiest to dig, so I chose to dig a pit here to bury the dead, but there are tens of thousands of corpses, and this pit must be dug very deep."
"As a result, I dug up the Bronze Palace by mistake!" I reacted immediately.
"Yes, I just wanted to dig a mass grave, the blood flowing from tens of thousands of corpses is enough to stain the soil layer into blood red, we came in through the ventilation tunnel, if we don't find the ventilation tunnel, I believe we will soon excavate the bones." The palace lord nodded.
I frowned and looked at the creepy bones on all sides, this should be the lowest corpse, don't throw it here at random, and then the corpses are stacked on top of each other until they fill the mass grave and bury it with earth at the top, so there is very little dirt at the bottom.
"Originally, we could infer the age of these people from the costumes of the corpses, so that we can roughly know some clues, but unfortunately it is too humid here, and the clothes are all rotten and you can only distinguish the composition of the fabric, and you will not know who these people are for a while." Shen Buregret's voice was gloomy.
"There were men, women, and children among the bones, and there were so many of them, as if they had been slaughtered together, and who was so brutal, not even babies and children." Tian Ji said indignantly.
"Could it be caused by the war?" Ye Zhiqiu muttered to himself.
"If it is a war that dies, it should be a soldier, these corpses are obviously civilians, and if there is a war, why should the corpses be collected, this is obviously to cover up the atrocities." Ye Jiuqing shook his head and said.
"Maybe it's not just the atrocities that are being covered up." My face was heavy.
"What else is there to hide?" Tian Ji asked.
"We're probably ignoring the most serious problem." I said worriedly.
"What's the problem?"
No matter why these people were slaughtered, and no matter who killed them, since the mass grave was dug here, it means that the excavators found the Bronze Palace, and there may be another reason for killing these people, that is, to cover up the existence and secrets of the Bronze Palace.
"We've got to get through the mass grave quickly." I sighed solemnly. "I'm most worried now that although we have found the Bronze Palace, it may be too late, if someone finds out here earlier than us, it is estimated that Jiuding is no longer in the Bronze Palace."
