Chapter 14: Blood!
It's just that, why did we, the ancestor of Panmen, get these things from the clean room? What's the purpose of being here?
It's really confusing. "Go on." I said, "Don't waste your time on your life. โ
There was no nonsense about desertion, and we quickly cleaned up the soil. Behind the earth, there is a diamond wall.
The so-called King Kong Wall is just an abstract statement, and that wall is not made of King Kong. Rather, it is made of sturdy tomb bricks, layer upon layer.
I tried to pry hard with a crowbar, but as soon as I pried it, a cold wind blew behind me, and then I heard the master shouting, "Who is it?" โ
I threw away all the sticks in fright and quickly turned my head. But the surroundings are empty, and there are no people anywhere.
I gave the master a hard look: "What's the fuss called?" I almost scared you to death. โ
The master hurriedly ran to the two of us: "Look at the candles, why are they burned blue?" Just now I saw a black shadow flying down from the entrance of the cave, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye? โ
I said, "Are you still worried about having a master here?" Even if there is a ghost, our master can catch it and give it two catties of wine to eat. Do you know what the master's nickname is? Dongcheng Lin Zhengying. โ
It seems that after a long time of desertion, it is inevitable that you will be infected with the bad problem of bragging.
The master trembled and said, "But I'm still a little scared, or ...... I'll go outside and keep watch. And the candle, master, what is going on? โ
I glanced at the candle, and sure enough, the flame of the candle turned blue. I was a little panicked when I saw that I was deserting, but I still pretended to be calm and kept pinching there.
I was worried about desertion, so I asked the master to wait outside.
After waiting for the master's house to go out, Kai Xiaoxiao immediately squatted on the ground with a pale face: "It's over, it's over, it's really hell." โ
"The psychological effect of the master's family." I said, "Uncle, don't embarrass me. โ
"Psychological fart." Desertion scolded: "Not only did he see it just now, but even I saw it." โ
I gasped, "No. โ
"Look at the candle." Desertion said, "Why did it turn blue?" It's not right. โ
I shook my head, but I really didn't believe there were ghosts in the world.
Although I was also a little scared, for the sake of the truth, I could only make up a random reason to fool around: "I've seen the ghost fire, the ghost fire is blue." Why is it blue? Because the demon fire burns the scales in the bones. โ
"Don't scare me." "This candle is made of bones?" โ
"Fart." I scolded, "This is the burial chamber, and there must be bones in the burial chamber, and the ingredients of the bones come out and float onto the candles, and the candles will soon burn blue?" โ
Desert nodded thoughtfully: "I don't read much, don't lie to me." โ
"I read a lot, I don't lie to you."
Fortunately, nothing strange happened next, and I concentrated on prying the diamond wall with a crowbar, and soon pry off three or four tomb bricks.
As soon as the wall was pried open, a wind blew out of it, and my whole body was cold.
The desert also noticed that something was wrong, and said, "Why is the wind blowing out of it, this tomb should not lead to the outside." โ
I said probably not.
I deserted and went outside to find a flashlight, while I stayed at the entrance of the cave, listening carefully to what was going on inside.
But I didn't hear any movement, but I felt a cool breath blowing out of it. And the temperature of this breath is very cold, and I wonder if it's a big refrigerator.
Soon, he came back and handed me a flashlight.
I pried a small hole in the diamond wall, allowing only one person's head to get into. I bit the flashlight with my mouth, poked my head in, and looked around by the light of the flashlight.
The burial chamber is not large, and the overall shape looks like a yurt buried in the ground. There were a lot of things around, densely packed, on the walls, and on the top of the head, all of them hung with something.
I threw a pebble into it, but I heard the sound of chains clashing.
I've never heard of a chain burial in the tomb.
After making sure that there was no danger inside, I deserted and continued to pry the bricks. Once I had pried open the hole that allowed a person to get into, I stopped.
I am afraid that the hole dug is too big and this "yurt" will collapse.
As I stepped in, I sensed that something was wrong, the air was very foul and cold, and it was very difficult to breathe. The feet are loose and unsteady.
I had no choice but to go out and wait for the tomb to be cleared before coming in.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still the same smell here, so I deserted and threw a candle in, and the candle burned quite vigorously, and it seemed that there was no lack of air in it.
I thought about it briefly, and I almost understood that there was not a lack of oxygen here, but an extra substance in the air, mercury.
That's right, mercury. Mercury can hinder a person's breathing, and if you breathe for a long time, you can be poisoned.
But why is there mercury here? The ancients knew that mercury had a good antiseptic effect, and it was also used in many corpse preservation techniques. Could it be that the owner of the tomb wants to preserve the body?
I walked cautiously forward, surrounded by that strange smell of mercury.
I saw a lot of things hanging on the wall just now, and I wanted to go over and study what was hanging on them.
I didn't expect to look at it like this, and I was dumbfounded.
Near the entrance, there were twenty or thirty heads hooked with iron hooks. And it is obvious that the embalming technology is used very well, the head is just shriveled, and there is no rot ยง The jaw is open, the eyes are hollow, the nose is collapsed, and it looks like it is crying for help, which is really terrifying.
The whole body trembled in fright, and kept shouting that the grandfather bless me, the grandfather bless me.
I said goodbye angrily, and blessed you and blessed me.
I followed the wall and continued to walk. What I saw this time made me unable to calm down anymore. Because on the hook in front of him, there is a full torso.
It's all human torso, with the head, hands and legs chopped off. The corpse, like the head, was completely shriveled, covered with skin and bones, and the skin was not rotten.
Next, there is the hand and foot part. It's also used as if measures, and after drying up, it maintains a hideous and terrifying shape, and I think it's better to rot directly and look pleasing to the eye.
After looking around, I found that there were only so many things in this big "yurt", and there was no coffin or anything.
The only difference is that there is a stone bed in the middle. The stone bed was empty, and there was nothing. However, I found some dried black lumps, picked up a piece with my hand, and immediately crumbled into powder between my fingers.
Kai Xiaoxiao said: "I know, this stone bed must be used for slaughter." โ
I nodded, too: "That's right, there are still blood stains on this bed." โ
"Why did he dismember so many people?" Desertion asks a question.
yes, that's where I wondered. Why are all the corpses dismembered and hung in this place?
Who are these people? The owner of this tomb must have a deep hatred for them, otherwise how could he have dismembered them.
I said, "I think they are probably eunuchs." The things outside the purification room are enough to prove their identity. โ
"Who has such a great hatred with a eunuch." Desertion said.
"You ask me, I'll ask who's going." I said impatiently.
"Wait!" As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that something was wrong. On that slaughter bed, there seemed to be a drop of fresh blood. The drop of blood was covered with the old blood that had dried up, and if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't see it.
I immediately looked down and ran my hand over the blood, and it was still wet, and it got on my hand.
I looked at the desert with a panicked expression: "You didn't spill blood on it just now." โ
Desertion said, "No, what's wrong?" โ
So I showed him the blood on my hands: "There is fresh blood on this bed." โ
"Grass!" Desertion jumped up directly: "Whose is this?" โ
"Don't scream." I said, "Look closely, where does this blood come from?" โ
