Chapter 143: The Graveyard
Ten minutes later, Xiao Si motioned for us to stop and said, "There is a cemetery in front, and we will arrive through a few trees in front, and from my point of view, there are many buried corpses underground, and it seems that it has been many years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
I paused, and then said to everyone, "How can this be, isn't this deserted, how can there be so many corpses?" Ji Shangwu pointed to the front: "Isn't there a manor in it, just go in and take a look." "After passing through the last few trees, a large clearing appeared in front of us. About half of the area in the open space is some jagged tombstones, and the style of the tombstones is also complicated and simple, it seems that the identity of the people buried here is very different, Ji Shangwu said: "It seems that this is a messy grave, otherwise the level of this tombstone would not be so messy." ”
Jing Liyan thought for a while and said, "Do you think they did it on purpose?" I turned to look at him and said, "How so?" Jing Liyan continued: "If it is really a mass grave, there will be no tombstones, and everything will be fine if you bury it directly, so why bother so much, so there must be a sequence of deaths here, so the people who manage this area must be buried in order, so this phenomenon will be caused." ”
I nodded, "That makes sense, but how did these people die?" Was it killed by an evil spirit? Ji Shangwu suddenly snorted: "Your words reminded me, do you say that these people are like you, they are all ghost masters, and after being killed by them, they are buried here, because of the difference in official rank and status, so this kind of scene will be caused." I gasped: "When you say that, it seems to be true, it seems that they are giving us a dismount." ”
Ji Shangwu walked to one of the tombstones and said, "I guess this is not enough, it's still too early to talk about Ma Wei." I walked over and looked at him, at this time, Ji Shangwu pulled up this tombstone and looked at it carefully, and then said to me: "The soil is still wet, but this tombstone still seems to be brand new, you see, there is not even the most basic dust on this tombstone, either it is the person in charge here, wipe it every day, or it has just been buried." ”
I smiled and said, "It must be the latter, after all, who wants to run around to wipe the tombstone and play." Ji Shangwu continued: "Are you sure that this island was not here before?" I nodded, "This island is indeed a recent one, and it's only been a few days." Ji Shangwu grinned and said: "If you say that, these dead people will not come a few days earlier than us," I was also a little puzzled: "Yes, there is no trace of someone coming from the beach, could it be that someone really took the lead?" Ji Shangwu put down the tombstone and said, "You can't make a conclusion so early. ”
Saying that, he walked around the purpose again, and when he came back, he frowned and said: "No, I took a cursory look just now, these tombstones do not have much dust without exception, but Xiao Si just said that these corpses have been many years, and it stands to reason that they should have been thick with a layer of soil a long time ago, and there are woods in front of them, which can block a lot of wind, so there may be very few that are blown off, there must be some other reason." ”
As he spoke, Jing Liyan accidentally tripped over a stone and got muddy on his face, he looked down at his embarrassment, and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of broken place, it made me covered in mud," my eyes lit up, I lowered my head and grabbed a handful, and then sniffed it. Ji Shang looked at me with a puzzled look: "What are you doing here?" I threw the mud on the ground and said, "It smells weird." Ji Shangwu smiled and said: "That's not it, can the soil in the cemetery taste the same." He grabbed a handful and sniffed it, and then he gasped, looked at me and said, "The mud seems to have been soaked in seawater." ”
Luan Xin walked over and said, "Could it be that the tide is rising?" I shook my head: "It's probably not big." Then I took a closer look around, and sure enough, although most of the place was dry, some of the dark places were still very wet. I thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion: "I think this island must have just emerged from the bottom of the sea." As soon as these words came out, all four of them looked at me in unison, and I bowed my head and said, "You see, if it has rained here, then the soil should not smell of seawater, and secondly, even if the tide rises, it will not rise to that place." After speaking, I pointed to a city wall, and Luan Xin was puzzled: "Maybe the altitude here is relatively low." ”
I shook my head: "It's unlikely, if the altitude here is relatively low, then the people who designed this project in the first place must have understood the situation, and since they already know the geography of this place, why bother to build buildings here." So it must not be as simple as a high tide. Ji Shangwu held his chin and thought for a while, and then said: "I remember you said earlier that this island only shows the sea level after a while, and it only appears for a week at a time, could it be that this island has been immersed in the bottom of the sea during the time it disappeared?" ”
I nodded, "At the moment, this is the only conclusion that is the most reliable." Ji Shangwu pointed to the tombstone and said, "In this way, it makes sense why there is no dust on the tombstone." Although these people died a long time ago, they are hidden at the bottom of the sea for many years, so there is no dust accumulation on the tombstones, so whenever they appear, they are always very clean. I exhaled, "That's right, let's keep walking." ”
As soon as I walked not far away, I heard a sound behind me, I quickly looked back, there was nothing abnormal behind me, I secretly said that I was too careful, but as soon as I turned around, an inexplicable sense of fear came to my heart, I subconsciously lowered my head, and almost instantly, a huge black shadow flew past my scalp. I suddenly turned around, and between me was a tall man of about two meters, with a huge axe in his hand, ready to launch the next round of attacks.
Ji Shangwu and they were not slow to react, and as soon as their eyes met each other, an encirclement was immediately formed. But the plan often can't catch up with the change, and after a while, more corpses are derived from the cemetery just now. However, unlike the other corpses, these corpses were pale green in color, and the degree of decay varied, some only showed white bones on their arms or faces, some were just dried corpses, and some even dragged a pair of white bones to their feet. Fortunately, it was daytime, and if it was night, the scene would be unimaginable. (To be continued.) )
