This bald head has the style of a tomb robber, and his face is scruffy, and he is about the same size as Cassia Ming, but he looks a little older than Cassia Ming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the bald head saw that my face was full of doubts, he showed a very unflattened expression, with a thick northern accent.

"What? Don't know each other? ”

Listening to his voice, I slammed up from the ground, and immediately thought of who this person was.

"It's you! That monk! ”

The guy in front of him was the person who the guards chased before, that is, the "wild monk" in Cassia Ming's mouth.

I didn't know what to do for a while, because I had no idea how he could be here.

"You.. How is it here? Who the hell are you? What about the fourth? ”

I unceremoniously threw out all the doubts in one fell swoop.

The guy was obviously frightened by me, he was stunned, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Man, those who do this business don't live long if they talk a lot." ”

"Dead bald, who are you scaring about? Less damn bullshit, hand over our guys. Cassia scolded from the side.

When the guy heard this, he grinned and said, "What's the matter? The two stunned young people are still pretending to be uncles? You don't inquire about it, and when it comes to fighting, my monk is your ancestor. ”

I sighed, and said to myself, yes, there's another troublemaker, this guy doesn't look good. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I asked Cassia Ming, where did the fourth camel go? Why can't you see where others are?

Cassia shook his head and said that he didn't know, he didn't see the fourth child when he came down just now.

I said no, didn't the fourth child signal you to come down?

Cassia pointed to the monk at this time and said, "At that time, I was on the bridge, and I only saw someone signaling, I thought it was the fourth." But after coming down, I found that it was not the fourth child who gave the signal, but this dead bald man who came out of nowhere. ”

The monk's face turned green at that time, and he jumped up and shouted that he wanted to compare with Cassia. I hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Monk, where has the fourth camel gone?" ”

"Who?"

The monk turned his head and stared at me inexplicably.

When I looked at his expression, it didn't look like he was pretending. The heart said ****, what's going on? Hurriedly asked him if he was not the fourth camel and asked you to give us a signal?

When the monk heard this, he was stunned.

"What the fourth, I don't know."

I said it's not a question of whether you recognize it or not, the key is why are you giving us a signal? According to our previous agreement with the fourth child, it should be him himself, not you, who should signal us.

The monk was completely confused by me, waved his hand impatiently and said, "Give you a signal, I saw a fire on the bridge." There's no way out of your position, so that's why I'm signaling you to come down the rope. As for what you are talking about, Lao Tzu has never seen it at all. ”

Cassia and I looked at each other, and my back was already starting to get cold.

What the hell is going on?

I quickly combed through it in my mind. Before we could get off the bridge, the fourth was the first to climb down and give us a signal as planned. But after Master and Cassia came down, they found that it was not the fourth camel who gave the signal, but this monk. Let's not talk about why this monk is here, the only thing that is certain now is that this monk came earlier than us and the fourth.

If the fourth child came down from the bridge, it was impossible for him not to see. But the monk repeatedly stressed that he had not seen anyone else coming down from the bridge except us. In other words, if we exclude the fact that the monk lied to us, then the only remaining possibility is that the fourth camel did not get off the bridge at all, and it is very likely that something happened to him halfway through.

But this idea doesn't make sense. Camel Lao Si has decades of experience in inverted fighting, his body and judgment of the current situation are much stronger than ours, with my physique can be safe, he should be very good at these, it is impossible to be killed so quietly. If it was because of those gargoyles, it was unlikely, he was carrying torches at the time, and those beasts did not dare to approach easily.

yes, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the fourth child just disappeared out of thin air?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I had to look around again.

The rope that hangs down from the bridge just reaches the bottom of the cave. The bottom of the cave matches the previous mural and there is a pool. The extent of the waterhole cannot be estimated, at least under our current conditions, the size of the waterhole cannot be visually measured. As for the depth, since there is no underground river nearby, it may not be too deep.

And where we are now, right in the middle of a waterhole, a sacrificial platform. In other words, after we climbed down from the bridge, we landed on the altar in the middle of the waterhole, and everything that seemed to be the result of accident was obviously carefully measured.

Based on my memories of the mural, and the arrangement on the platform in front of me, this should be the sacrificial altar painted in the last part of the mural. The bottom of the platform, about three feet above the water, is made of a material similar to white marble, and is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

At each of the four corners of the platform, there is a two-person dragon stone pillar standing in the water, the stone pillar presents a miserable white, and at the top of the four stone pillars, a stone guardian beast is placed. I thought it would be a traditional four-sided beast, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was actually a statue of one gargoyle. Now it seems that this gargoyle should be the patron saint of the underground palace.

In addition, the altar is carved on a large scale with a variety of bizarre characters, which are painted with cinnabar. All the characters are centered on the bronze coffin in the center of the platform, radiating in all directions.

The bronze coffin is about the length of two people, and there is no rust in sight, so it should have been treated with some kind of anti-rust treatment. The copper grain on the surface of the outer coffin is plated with gold leaf. The entire coffin shimmered with countless obsessive golden lights under the light of the torches. And the most incredible thing for me is that on the copper pattern of the bronze coffin, there is a pattern that I feel very familiar.

I leaned over and took a closer look, and sure enough, the ornament was the same as the tattoo on the wrist of the corpse in the burial chamber!

I had a hunch in my heart that this could never be a coincidence, and there must be some kind of connection between them. What does this character mean?

As far as my eyes can see, in addition to the sacrificial platform where we are now, there are many black sarcophagi arranged around it. These sarcophagi are of similar size and size, and they are arranged around the altar in a special shape, but most of them are immersed in water, so I can't see through the secret of these sarcophagus arrangements for a while.

In addition, there are figurines of different postures left in the waterhole. These figurines are far away from the altar and are supposed to be made of local stone.

But I still haven't seen the figure of the fourth camel, has he really disappeared? Or did you say that there was an accident and fell into the water?

"Camel Fourth!"

I couldn't help but shout around, but the monk almost fell into the water. He hurriedly covered me and whispered, "What are you doing?" Don't want to die? ”

I was about to struggle, and he pointed to the top of his head. I followed his gaze and looked up, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly. But I could clearly feel that something was flying over my head, and there was a lot of movement, and it was very dense and numerous.

"It's all gargoyles, and you're going to call them all over."

After speaking, he pointed to the stone carvings on the four dragon stone pillars.

"Especially those four, wake them up, none of us can escape."

I said in my heart what is there to be afraid of a few stone carvings. But when I turned my head, I almost bit my tongue at the sight in front of me. I saw that the stone carvings at the top of the four dragon pillars had turned around at some point, and now they were staring at our direction with a gloomy face.

"I'm afraid these four are the ancestors of those gargoyles, if you provoke them, the Daluo Immortal can't save you."

I swallowed my saliva and said **** in my heart, isn't that a stone carving? How can this place be in danger everywhere? If I'm not careful, I'll have to go down and get some soup. Fortunately, the monk stopped it in time, and although the scene just now was thrilling, the situation finally stabilized.

I breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, there was a sudden movement behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw a person climbing down the rope. When I saw him, he jumped right off the rope and landed lightly and smoothly.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a guard.

We immediately gathered around, but the monk seemed to have suffered his loss, muttered a few words, and ran to study the coffin alone.

"You're finally willing to show up?"

Cassia said lukewarmly. The guard completely ignored Cassia and took out a palm-sized gold-encrusted box from his bosom and handed it to the master.

"The entrance is blocked, and we have to find another way. You go back and give them the contents of this box. ”

Cassia and I were listening in a fog, but Master nodded and took the box and asked him, "How are you?" ”

The guard shook his head and did not speak, but turned to look at the bronze coffin.

Although I didn't understand what he was talking to Master, I found some details. The golden stabbing knife on his body was gone, and there were still blood stains on his face, he must have just experienced a fight. I couldn't help but wonder, where did he go? What's in that box? Where did he get it?

I have a stomach full of questions to ask him, but I'm afraid the guards won't give me this chance.

At this time, he was standing in front of the bronze coffin, staring at the character on the outer coffin with his eyes lost. When the monk saw the guards walking towards him, his face changed, and he took a step back, his tone a little nervous.

"You're you again? What do you want? ”

The guards ignored it, and he looked around, finally nailing his gaze to the living stone carvings on the dragon pillars. The stone carving on the stone pillar somehow turned back to its original direction at some point, and became a motionless stone sculpture again.
