Chapter 7: Raising the Body

The voice was extremely weak, but it was terrifying to hear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

We didn't dare to speak, and Cassia couldn't hold his breath in the first place.

"Damn, how do I feel like this sound is coming from the belly of a tiger." As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a light yellow-green smoke rising from the tiger's eyes and mouth in the firelight.

When the master saw this thing, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Come down!" It's the scent of the corpse! ”

Cassia dared to linger, and a donkey turned over and jumped off the tiger's back.

"Get out of here!" The guards shouted.

Cassia and I picked up Master and ran back, but before we could reach the door, we heard a series of "click" sounds overhead, and then the entire burial chamber shook instantly, and several people almost fell to the ground. I said in my heart that such a big movement, it shouldn't be that it is going to collapse, right? I heard a loud sound like a dusk drum and morning bell, and a huge sealing stone suddenly fell from the top of the tomb door. In the blink of an eye, the door of the tomb was tightly blocked.

After I finished speaking, there is no way out, and I guess I can't get out this time.

The guards followed from behind, and as soon as they saw that the entrance was blocked, they immediately shouted: "Enter the cloister!" Get out of here first, or you won't be able to leave! ”

At this time, the entire burial chamber was covered with the scent of corpses, and the previously thin spicy stench was now gradually becoming stronger. Master was already responding at the moment, and I tried to hold my breath as much as I could, but my throat was already starting to burn.

The entrance to the cloister was on the stone wall ten steps behind the stone shadow wall, which was the stone gate I had seen earlier. A few of us rushed over, and just as I was hopefully thinking I was going to escape, Cassia who was running at the front suddenly stopped. I didn't pay attention for a moment, and I hit him the back.

I said angrily, "What are you doing?" Why don't you go quickly? ”

Cassia turned around and said a little sluggishly, "The corpse incense has worked." ”

I didn't understand what he meant for a while, but now I couldn't do so much, so I yelled for Cassia to leave. However, as soon as I turned my head, I met a strange face with black hair. The man was stunned, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground.

"Run!"

Cassia yelled, dragged Master and me and ran backwards. But after a few steps, a long, narrow black shadow flashed quickly from the firelight. Before I could see what was going on, Cassia in front of me suddenly snorted, and the whole person was suddenly knocked out, and at the same time, the torch in his hand was also thrown a few feet away.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, and the master shouted Cassia and pulled me to think about it. But at that moment, I suddenly felt something furry against the back of my neck, and at the same time, a strange stench spread from behind me.

All of a sudden, the back of my head felt like it had exploded, and my legs went limp, and I almost fainted. At this moment, the shouts of the guards were heard in the darkness: "Get down and don't move!" A figure scurried past me, followed by the sound of a fight behind me.

Master dragged me to the ground, and I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to open my eyes. In the darkness, the movement of the fight grew farther and farther away, and the guards seemed to be luring them away. Sure enough, soon, the voice of the guards came from near the Stone Shadow Wall.

"Let's go! Retreat into the cloister! ”

The master did not hesitate, and Cassia did not seem to be injured. The three of them hurried to the stone door in the back wall and entered the cloister.

The decoration of the cloister is much worse than that of the Frontrooms, with uneven floors and pitted rock walls, apparently untouched after excavation. Thankfully, the letter lamps hanging in the cloister still worked. Our torches have burned out, and the letter lamp has solved our urgent needs.

Cassia ran at the front with the letterlight, and I tried to remember what was on the map. According to the contents of the underground palace plan, there are four ear chambers and several corridors near the cloister, and after we enter the cloister, the first thing we see should be the left ear chamber. Sure enough, in less than half a column of incense, the entrance to the left ear chamber appeared on the side of the cloister.

After running for so long, our physical strength was a little overwhelmed, so we decided to rest in the ear chamber for a while, waiting for news from the guards by the way. And because we weren't sure if the monster behind us would chase after us, we didn't even dare to take off our shoes, so we just lay on the ground.

After catching my breath, I began to look at the ear chamber in front of me. How to say it, the ear chamber is actually a simple stone chamber, except for some funerary goods stacked in the corner, there is nothing else to see. However, I did notice a small detail on the floor in the middle of the ear chamber, leaving a small trace. And from the shape of the traces, it can be seen that there must have been a coffin in this ear chamber for a long time before this. Now the coffin is gone, only traces remain on the ground. As for the burial objects, I took a few glances, and most of the burial objects in the corner were bronze and porcelain, and there was no shadow of gold and jade. I wasn't interested in anything that didn't have any color, so I sat in the corner, tired and didn't want to move.

Cassia has always healed the scar and forgot the pain, and at this time he was squatting on the side of the pile of funeral goods and rummaging around. The Master sat on the edge of the wall and closed his eyes. The medicinal effect of the corpse incense is still there, and my throat is burning badly, so the master must feel even more tormented at this time.

I shook out a water bag from my baggage and handed it to Master. In addition to the hydration bladder, there were dry food, fire oil, rope and some other tools. I swallowed a few mouthfuls of dry food to replenish my strength.

Cassia was looking at the rise in the pile of burial goods, and when I walked over, I saw him holding a bronze mirror and looking at it in fascination.

I nudged him and asked him if he wanted something to eat? Now this time is the most sleepy and difficult time of the day, and if you don't eat something, your body really can't stand it.

Cassia took a bite, and the bronze mirror in his hand was reluctant to put it down, and I couldn't help but laugh, so I teased him: "Look at your Scrooge, are you reluctant to put down eating?" How? Is this worth more than gold? ”

"You know!" Cassia scolded me back, and the dry food in his mouth almost sprayed me in the face.

"This is called the four-foot dragon bronze jian, according to legend, on the eve of the Yellow Emperor's ascension, seven bronze jians were made in the first mountain of Xiangcheng, and the four-foot dragon is one of them."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately gasped, and my heart said is it really fake? Thousands of years ago, the treasures of the Yellow Emperor's period would appear in such a simple ear chamber?

Cassia looked at me in a daze, and couldn't help but glance at me: "Don't dream, if this bronze jian is real, will it be placed in this kind of place?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked him, "You mean, this is a fake?" ”

Cassia weighed it, shook his head and said, "How can I say it, it can't be said to be a fake." After all, that's just a legend, and whether the seven heirloom bronzes exist or not has to be said for another matter. In front of this, looking at the ornamentation, it should be a bronze jian in the late Zhou Dynasty, which may be a crop in the period of King Youwang of Zhou. It's not genuine, but it's a rare treasure. As long as you can take it out, it is definitely worth more than the same amount of gold. ”

As soon as I heard this, my head grew big. If it weren't for Cassia who fell in love with what was in the mouth of the Ghost Tiger, we wouldn't have ended up like this, and I don't know if the guards would be dead or alive. And further back, the funeral goods in the underground palace must be more gorgeous and luxurious, especially the personal belongings of the tomb owner in the coffin. In case Cassia gets hot and causes some trouble, I'm afraid we'll not be so lucky.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly said to Cassia Ming: "We can't protect ourselves now, don't think about the burial goods in this tomb, Master's body and bones can't be tossed anymore." What's the mess again, who will collect the stall for you? ”

Cassia understood what I meant, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have to take a long-term view as a person, don't you?" That's where it goes, I'm measured. ”

I sighed, and said in my heart that it was really easy to change, and my nature was difficult to change, and sooner or later I would be killed by him. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of dry food with difficulty, when I went to get water, I saw that the master was still recuperating, and I didn't know if he was asleep. As soon as people relax, they will be sleepy, and besides, we have just escaped from the ghost gate, and as soon as we sit on the ground, our eyelids will sink terribly. I thought to myself that with Cassia watching anyway, I would not be in the way of taking a nap.

Soon, however, the guards behind them caught up. Without waiting for us to ask, he said, "You can't kill it, it's more troublesome to kill that kind of thing than not to kill it." ”

"So what now? Will they catch up? "I'm still a little frightened, and I look into the cloister from time to time.

The guard shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, they didn't follow me when I came out just now." But by what I think, they seem to be scared of this place. ”

As soon as he said this, several of us stared at him inexplicably, and none of us understood what he meant.

The guards were not in a hurry to explain, but stared at the stone walls around the ear chamber and said thoughtfully: "Don't you think that there is something missing in this place?" ”

As soon as he said that, we all started looking around again. In fact, this place has been seen through by us inside and out long ago, and we don't feel that anything is wrong, let alone something missing here.

I looked around blankly, and then found that Master and Cassia had the same expression, and they were all confused.

"I don't understand, but tell me what's missing in this place?" Cassia couldn't hold his breath at first, so he simply asked him what he lacked.

The guard still had the same cold expression, he touched the stone wall next to him with his hand, and said slowly: "From the tomb door to the front room, almost all the places are covered with plaster. Only the stone wall here does not use plaster, what is the tomb owner doing this for? Besides, the two monsters in the Frontrooms are obviously afraid of this place, is it all a coincidence? ”

I have to say that this man's observation is simply subtle. If he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought about it. Along the way, I didn't even notice the layer of plaster on the rock face. However, gypsum is the most common thing in this kind of cold underground palace, and the rock surface here is not plastered, perhaps it is just that the owner of the tomb did not care about the decoration of the ear chamber, or the craftsmen of the year cut corners, which caused the current coincidence.

Cassia didn't seem to care about this answer, and in his opinion, it was nothing worth considering. But the master would never think so, so he asked the guards, "What is your speculation?" ”
