Chapter 32: The Murderer Is He

Qu Dongxia turned off the flashlight, and sure enough, he found that there was a faint light cast in front of him, but this faint light was still faint and unstable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qu Dongxia said in a low voice: "Be quiet, there are likely to be people here." ”

Yao Dashan said in a low voice: "Oh, I understand. ”

The light was cast through the gap in the plank, which was just above the tunnel. Although light can be seen through the gaps in the boards, it cannot be seen through the gaps.

Yao Dashan said in a low voice: "Someone." ”

Qu Dongxia listened sideways for a while and couldn't hear a sound, he turned his head sideways and asked Yao Dashan: "Are you sure?" ”

Yao Dashan nodded.

Qu Dongxia listened for a while, but he couldn't hear anything, he carefully put the wooden board on his head up and looked out, he cautiously looked around and then retracted and said to Yao Dashan: "Your ears are really sensitive, it looks like a big hall on it, I can only see someone in the distance, but I can't see who it is." Let's go up and have a look, you lift me up first, and I'll pull you up again. ”

The wooden board was five or six centimeters thick, and Qu Dongxia struggled to move the wooden board away, and then nodded to Yao Dashan. When the two of them came up, Yao Dashan found that this position was just blocked by the stone statue and an altar in front of him, and there was a stone pillar on the left, which was very hidden.

The stone statues are very tall, about four or five meters high, and each of these stone statues is wearing armor and has a hideous face. Yao Dashan counted them, there were nineteen such stone statues, although they were all hideous faces, but each face was different. The nineteen stone statues are divided into two rows on the left and right, and there is one kneeling in the middle, but this kneeling stone statue is smaller than the others, similar in size to a normal person, and this stone statue is not wearing armor, but ordinary clothes.

When Yao Dashan was looking at the surrounding stone statues, Qu Dongxia touched him lightly and said, "Look at the altar in front, I'm sure this is an altar that uses living people to worship." ”

Yao Dashan looked at the altar and saw that this altar was very large, about forty meters in length and width, about three meters high, with steps on three sides. Going up the stairs is the central altar, in the center of which there is a pool of water that has dried up, and behind the pool is a two-meter-high stone tablet with ancient characters engraved on it, and it is impossible to see what the words are because of the distance.

There is a sarcophagus in the pool, because the inside of the pool is dark brown, and the top of the sarcophagus is brown and connected with the pool, Yao Dashan is not even sure that it is a sarcophagus.

Qu Dongxia said: "Do you see the pool in the center of the altar?" That's a pool of blood, how much human and animal blood does it take to fill such a large pool of blood? The ancient people were crazy and ignorant. ”

Yao Dashan felt cold all over, in ancient times, it was really a matter of taking people seriously, and he would kill them when he said he would.

"There's a coffin in the pool of blood, right?"

Qu Dongxia said: "Yes, it's just that this coffin is a bit big?" How could a person use such a large coffin? ”

Because of the angle, Yao Dashan felt that this coffin was about twice as long as the coffin used by people, which was beyond common sense. Or rather, this coffin is not a burial person, but has another use.

If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it, Yao Dashan looked around and found that there was no one around this empty altar. But he had heard people's voices in the tunnel just now, why didn't he see anyone for a while?

Standing in front of the stone statue, Yao Dashan looked at the hall again, the whole hall was very large, and Yao Dashan estimated that it was hundreds of meters long. The altar is lined with two rows of stone statues, and the entire hall is supported by sixty-eight thick stone pillars. The ceiling is about six meters high to the ground, and it is difficult to see what material the roof is due to the light.

The floor is paved with stone bricks, and the walls are smooth and simple, as if they were whitewashed with a layer of white lime. There are several torches burning around the main hall to illuminate the main hall flickering, but there is no smell of soot from the burning torches, which shows that the ventilation in this is very good.

Yao Dashan asked, "Third brother, didn't you say that you saw a figure just now?" Why don't you see anyone? ”

"I also feel strange, you see there is no door on the other side, where are they going?"

"Could it be that there are underground tunnels there too?"

Qu Dongxia boldly walked out and said, "Regardless of him, let's go to the altar and see the coffin." ”

After walking on the altar, Yao Dashan was shocked, the coffin was not only as long as two coffins, it was more than ten meters long, Yao Dashan dared to be sure, it must not be a person buried here.

The thick layer of dry circled "mud cake" in the blood pool covers the entire blood pool, and there are not only coffins in the blood pool, but also four stone sculptures, but these four stone sculptures are very small, respectively in the four corners of the blood pool.

Qu Dongxia walked to the coffin and brushed off the dust on it with his hands, revealing the stone coffin, Yao Dashan saw that there was still a picture carved on the coffin lid.

Above a huge forest, a dragon was soaring, and white clouds were blowing around it, and all kinds of birds rushed to the sight of the dragon. It's just that this dragon is a bit different from the dragon in Yao Dashan's mind, this dragon is covered in a black and shiny carapace, not fish scales like a traditional dragon statue, and its claws are not limbs, but eight pairs of claws, that is, sixteen claws. Because this dragon is painted on the back, you can't see what the specific dragon head looks like, only a pair of dragon horns that resemble a traditional flying dragon.

Yao Dashan scratched his head and said, "Third brother, how do I feel like a dragon-headed centipede?" ”

Qu Dongxia pointed to the dragon claw and said, "Centipedes don't have such claws. ”

Yao Dashan said: "Third brother, you said that this coffin can't be the bones of a dragon, right?" ”

Qu Dongxia looked at the long coffin and said, "I don't know, everything is possible." ”

Qu Dongxia cleaned up the surroundings of the coffin again, and the four sides of the coffin were engraved with runes, although they were runes, but the words were different.

Qu Dongxia was puzzled: "What era is this text?" Why haven't I seen it? ”

"Do you know all the ethnic minorities in the south?"

"That's right......"

Yao Dashan interrupted Qu Dongxia's words and said, "Someone is coming." ”

"Haha...... I didn't expect that it would be Boss Qu who came first. ”

Yao Dashan's face turned pale for a while, and he realized that something was wrong. Because it was Chen Bahe who was already "dead" who spoke, this Chen Bahe really had a problem, because he was pressed by ghosts twice before, so Yao Dashan suspected that Chen Bahe had a problem, but there was no evidence, it was just a guess before.

Qu Dongxia is not stupid, he saw Chen Bahe wearing an ancient costume, dressed like an ancient groom official. Qu Dongxia was not happy that Chen Bahe was still alive, but asked suspiciously: "Are you Chen Bahe?" ”

"Boss Qu won't know me so soon? We've been friends for a few years, and you've made a lot of money by me getting in touch with you. Hehe......" Speaking of this, Chen Bahe almost said in a roaring voice: "But do you know? Those things should have belonged to me, I am the pure blood of the royal family, Chen Baishu They are so rebellious that they actually take the entire altar for themselves, dreaming! ”

Qu Dongxia said in surprise: "So, everything that happened last night was done by you?" ”

"Not bad."

Slowly, Chen Bahe said again: "Do you know? This is not a royal tomb at all, but the altar of our clan, it is because of the greed of Chen Baishu's elders, not only instigating others to commit crimes, but also interrupting the sacrifice, yes, our clan is gradually declining and slowly moving towards destruction. ”

"Originally, I didn't want to do this to him, but he actually wanted to sell all the things handed down by his ancestors and then move to the big city. In my dreams, I would never allow such a thing to happen. No one can cut off the inheritance of our clan, and whoever wants to cut off the inheritance of my clan is a sinner, the sin is unforgivable, and the sin deserves death! In the end, Chen Bahe howled hoarsely.

Speaking of this, Chen Bahe walked with his hands behind his back as if he was dominating the world, turned his back to Yao Dashan and Qu Dongxia and said, "You must be very strange, why did I tell you these things, right?" The reason why I am telling you this is because these things have been pressing on my heart all these years, and no one can tell me about it, only I have to bear it silently. Today, this matter that has been weighing on my heart can finally be over, ......"

"It's a pity, Boss Qu was originally a friend of mine, but you were unlucky. Thou shalt not go up to the altar, for whoever walks on the altar will become the best of my royal family. Except for the elders who preside over the sacrifice! ”

Qu Dongxia frowned and said, "Chen Bahe, you are crazy, what age is it now?" Murder is paid for life. ”

Chen Bahe raised his head and stared at the ceiling for a long time before saying, "Hmph, killing? To tell you the truth, after tonight, Chenjiazhai will no longer exist, this is the death of our clan, and no one can change it. And you should be honored to be fortunate enough to see all this, but the inheritance of my poor clan will be ruined in my generation, hateful! ”

Yao Dashan asked suspiciously, "What does it mean to cease to exist?" ”

Chen Ba said without looking back: "If it no longer exists, this place will disappear." ”

Yao Dashan asked Qu Dongxia suspiciously: "Third brother, is what he said true?" ”

Qu Dongxia shook his head and said, "Unless there is a large amount of explosives buried under here." ”

Yao Dashan looked down at the altar and said: "Unlikely, our country has strict control over explosives, so there won't be so many explosives flowing here, could it be that a large amount of explosives will be left here before liberation?" ”

"Don't guess, even I don't know what will happen here, but I dare to say that you will never see Chenjiazhai again tomorrow morning."

Yao Dashan whispered to Qu Dongxia: "Why do I feel that this place is dangerous, should we leave the altar first?" ”

Qu Dongxia nodded and said, "Well, no one can say whether there are ancient gods and ghosts, let's leave here." ”

Chen Bahe turned around and shook his head and said, "Want to leave?" It's too late. Look around you. ”

After hearing this, Yao Dashan and Qu Dongxia found that a lot of centipedes instantly drilled out of the cracks of the steps, and these centipedes gathered more and more, slowly covering the steps, making the surrounding steps all black.

Seeing the appearance of so many centipedes made people feel frightened, Yao Dashan immediately thought that Chen Kuiliang was bitten by something, and he must have been bitten by these centipedes.

Yao Dashan regretted leaving the torch in the tunnel at the moment, just now he was worried that he would be discovered if he came out with the torch, but he didn't expect such a situation to occur.

Qu Dongxia shouted: "Why are you stunned? Run. ”

There are no steps behind the altar, and naturally there are no centipedes, and the height of three meters is really not high when life is threatened. Two people jumped from above.

In the panic, Yao Dashan actually broke his foot, and at this time, his broken foot was undoubtedly worse.
