Chapter 50: The Eagle's Head and Human Body

The smell of dead people's corpses that could not be forgotten continued to invade the limbs through the dilated pores. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike in the past, I was affected by some emotions, I suppressed it, trembling and walking on this bluestone road, inspecting the situation in the black hole, the black hole of the mortuary burst out of the cool yin wind, blowing my leg sensation completely.

There is a corpse parked in each black hole here, there are men and women, old and young, the body is all head outward and feet inward, and the calm ring building is like a frozen corpse cabinet in a giant funeral parlor.

The corpse's dead white and plain face, without a trace of undulation in expression, without the hideousness, fear or despair before death, death seemed to be peaceful and quiet for the people here, as if they had voluntarily fallen asleep here.

Rows of black holes are dug like caves, and the entrance of the cave is also masonry suspected to prevent collapse, and the inside is smeared with a thick layer of lime to avoid the accumulation of moisture.

I quickly became paralyzed by these dead bodies, maybe in the past two months, Weikou has been raised by the company's autopsy cases, and seeing the corpses in front of me, my heart has added a little peace and a little less turbulence.

Climbing up the well-planned stone steps to the fourth floor, I casually looked back and was shocked to see that the ground in the center of the large circle was inlaid with a round of symbolic floor reliefs. The main relief is composed of two human-faced fish bodies and two human-faced snake bodies, the shapes are entangled with each other, surrounding a large circle, and many small faces like humans are carved in the middle, densely packed. The shape of the relief is delicate, vivid and lifelike.

However, this relief style is actually the same as the pattern engraved on the outside of the sacrificial jade tripod in the tomb of Nuwa. Patterns of human snakes and mermaids appeared one after another, accompanied by a large number of corpses......

"Hey!"

Suddenly, the car made a sound at the upper floors, then supported the ground with one hand, jumped down with a bow of both knees, and jumped down in front of me. But when the sub-car landed, there was no sound at all.

He got up, pointed up with his hand, and said, "I am up there, and I see the man sitting next to me in the pavilion."

Ziche's understatement is as ordinary as meeting an acquaintance in a gazebo.

"Have you ever noticed the genus name on that clay figurine?" I asked.

He nodded slightly, "It's the same."

As soon as my eyelids closed, the cold hairs on my back stood on end, and I felt creepy, and it was not the pit of human corpses that frightened me, but the people who built it...... and intent.

"It means that there is a madman who kills all the people in a small town, embalms them and makes them into dried corpses, and then keeps them here?"

I thought of the children who were playing and running in the yard in that peasant family, and I couldn't help but be full of anger, "He didn't even let go of a child under ten years old, what the hell is wrong with this person."

Ziche's big palm pinched my shoulder, "In this era, there is only class and no age." The words that came out of his lips were cold and without any pity. At this time, I fully understood the huge gap between myself and Ziche in their hearts, and no matter how much compassion I had for the lives that had passed, I couldn't get anything back.

I swallowed, "I know." At the same time, you are also telling yourself.

Seeing that I was calm, he didn't say much but patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the ring totem in the middle and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"I just remember, I also saw that picture in Nuwa's tomb, and I don't feel anything special at the moment, but ...... Maybe there's something to do with it."

"I feel more and more that it's definitely a woman buried here." The voice of Qian Cai came from behind, startling me.

Ziche paused, and then asked, "Well, do you have a basis?"

Qian Yan shook his head and replied, "It's just a feeling."

"Uh-huh." When Ziche heard this, he didn't refute it, and as if he accepted it, he turned around and climbed up quickly, turned around and shouted, and called us to come up. Qian and I climbed up with him behind the buttocks, and the height of each step was waist-high, and if you wanted to go up, you had to use both hands and feet, and it was not so easy to climb.

Although Qian Yu said that her inference was unfounded, there was a hint of affirmation in her eyes, which really made me curious.

"Why do you think this is a woman's tomb?" I propped up my upper body behind me, stepped my knees up the super high steps, and asked her curiously.

「...... Aurora." She said.

"What?"

"Well, don't you know Ariel, why don't you know Aurora?" Her tone was full of reproach.

"What the hell does this have to do with that?"

"Princess Aurora, the princess of Sleeping Beauty." He said emphatically again.

I rolled my eyes, "Who knew her name was Aurora."

"Now you know."

"Pull it casually, you can say it quickly, don't sell it." I urged her to hurry up.

"After Sleeping Beauty doesn't fall asleep, the whole city will also fall asleep, and it won't be until she wakes up that the whole city will wake up. Don't you think it's the same? If the master here dies, the whole city will die with him, and when the master is resurrected, the whole city will live. Don't you think it's a woman who died, plus that wooden comb for women."

There are a lot of crooked reasons in Qianyu, and the amazing thing is that every time I listen to it, I feel that it is very reasonable, and I feel that I can always be persuaded by her.

"Then why didn't you just tell Ziche?"

"Your head is convulsive, where does that Tang Dynasty wood know what Sleeping Beauty is, you don't even know."

"I didn't know, I just didn't remember her name."

I was busy arguing, but I saw the car in front of me stop, and I and Qian Yu sped up to the same level as him.

He stared down and asked, "Do you think this scene is similar?"

I rubbed my knees and head, the pain from hitting the stone boat seemed to recur from climbing these super high steps, I listened to the question of the sub-car, and after sweeping the ring around, I vaguely understood the clue, "The arrangement of the area here is very similar to the whole town."

"It's not just similar, even the staircase alignment and the arterial roads are the same. I'm thinking that the inscription on their ankles isn't the name of the craftsman, it's the number of the corpses that belong to the cavern." Ziche said as he turned the flashlight on the other words engraved on the high place, and my body was half cold, and I vaguely answered Ziche, saying that this pervert also classified the corpse.

At this moment, Ziche and Qianyu's bodies stiffened, and they quickly looked towards the entrance that they had entered, and he also made silent movements at me, and his eyes became sharp. Facing the two people in front of me changing their faces, I immediately understood that something was happening, and I also tensed my nerves to look at the entrance.

Feeling the breath of the two people next to me gradually slow down to silence, I also tried to regulate my breathing, as slow as I could. At this time, Ziche's head shook slightly, his eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes rolled up and down, and his original vigilant expression was oozing a trace of incomprehension.

Ziche turned her eyes to Qianyu, she first paused, tilted her head, and silently raised the gesture of Er.

The tacit understanding between the two of them is always in a second.

Outside the passage, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a flash of fire flashed from the entrance, presumably to find an uninvited guest, and the horse's hooves below stepped hard, kicking back and forth for a long time, as if several horsemen were riding on horses and searching around the field.

In the panic, I was pressed into the nearest corpse cave by the quilt cart, the owner of this corpse cave was a child who looked about five or six years old, lacking some of the horror of a dead corpse, but despite this, I was still entangled in my heart, I didn't want to be crowded with the corpse, I saw Qian Yu bow into the other corpse holes, there was no place to hide now, I had no choice but to get into it.

When I climbed over the child's corpse, in addition to trembling, there was also a stomach full of apologies, I didn't mean to disturb the child's last peace, I didn't want to climb halfway through the car and quickly squeeze in, maybe the other corpse caves were not enough for him to hide.

Fortunately, I am a child here, more than half of this hole is empty, although it is two big men, but bent can barely dodge, there are a few raw clay pots at the bottom of this corpse hole, I and Ziche moved all these clay pots to the front, so as to use these clay pots to block some of the sight from the outside to the inside.

"Hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss-" There were ghostly chirps from the circle below, and it was impossible to tell what animal it was, mixed with the sound of panicked horses' hooves.

Suddenly, there was a click, and the sound of the horse's hooves on the ground changed, and the originally calm and solid stamping sound was transformed into a crisp and loud ......

They had stepped up this step, one step, two steps......

As the sound of the horse's hooves approached closer and closer, a heart fell in the air and became even more manic, I hugged my knees and sweated coldly, using all the skills I had used to practice dance, and how small my body could be curled. The same is true for the sub-car, which is even more embarrassing for him in this extremely narrow space.

The moment the sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the cavern, I almost lost the ability to breathe, and pressed my chest desperately to calm the excited heartbeat. I didn't regain my breath until the sound of the horses' hooves was gone, and the men didn't go, but rode around the field non-stop, and the whole corpse pavilion echoed with the neighing and screaming of ghosts.

I don't know how long it took, my lower body was paralyzed due to poor blood circulation, and my neck was sore from the long arch, Ziche maintained the same position from beginning to end, staring straight out of the hole with sharp eyes, and kept his spirit on high alert at all times, I suspect he didn't even blink.

There was a sudden warmth outside the cave, and the flickering lights showed that they had lit some torches underneath.

After a while, Ziche gave me a look, and we gently moved the raw clay pot buried in front of us to both sides of the cave, and Ziche pulled the child's body down little by little, so as to free up the space in front of the corpse cave.

I learned from him to crawl forward slowly, wanting to see the true face of this tomb-builder.

The firelight shone on the frosty expression of the car from the bottom up, and I was curious, wondering what he saw. But I didn't dare to be greedy, for fear of disturbing the patrolmen below if there was an accident.

I slowly approached the car and looked underneath.

There is no one in the center of this circle......

...... There were only two creatures with antlers, an eagle's head, and a deer body below the waist.

I glanced at the people around me with my spare eyes, and he looked at me with an indescribable look, and this time I couldn't suppress the restless blood veins no matter how hard I tried to restrain them, and my heart seemed to break my ribs at any moment.

Standing in the center of the circle, the creatures are neither humans nor horses, and they are two tomb beasts alive.
