Chapter 7 The Ancient Tomb at the Bottom of the Cliff

With a "click", Zhuo Fan turned on the flashlight, and a beam of light shot out of his hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Jiang was shocked by Poker Face's words just now, he was at a loss and speechless, and before he could clean up his chaotic mood, he looked at the face of Poker Face that was a little distorted under the light of the fire fold, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently touched the junction between Poker Face's neck and face, "That, it's a little ...... Fell ......"

The poker face did not move, and his eyes were unconsciously attracted by Zhuo Fan's flashlight. I saw that under the pitch-black setting, the scenery vaguely resembled ink painting, changing little by little in the movement of the pillar of light.

"What's that?" Zhuo Fan was already amazed by the scenery under the wolf's eye flashlight, and he kept speeding up the movements of his hands, constantly moving the pillar of light in the darkness so that he could see more things.

Lao Jiang was also attracted by Poker Face and Zhuo Fan's gaze, and also felt incredible. In the light of the flashlight, not far from them, a huge castle loomed, with a small square at the very edge of the heavy mud wall. Further on, there is a stretch of low bungalows.

"What is this? Undercity? Lao Jiang guessed.

"Pokerface just said that it is likely to be an ancient tomb there."

"Tombs? I have never seen an ancient tomb like this, like an ancient village. ”

"Let's take a look." Poker Face had already stood up and walked there without hesitation.

"Don't you have to prepare anything?" Lao Jiang was anxious and handed over the poker-faced gas mask, "I don't know how many years this ancient village has been buried underground, just in case." ”

Poker looked at Lao Jiang, still took the mask and put it on his head, and then continued to walk forward.

Zhuo Fan played a flashlight in the middle of the poker face. I saw Poker Face deftly climb the earthen city wall, the city wall was about two meters, Poker Face knelt on one knee on the city wall, and stretched out his hand to Lao Jiang and Zhuo Fan.

Zhuo Fan and Lao Jiang climbed the city wall one after another, standing on the commanding heights of the city wall to look at the past, only to find that this ancient village covers an extremely wide area, the square under the feet alone, there are more than 1,000 square meters, and the houses are arranged vertically and horizontally in a tic-tac-toe, which is particularly regular and neat. In the wolf's eye flashlight, the head is barely visible. Poker Face jumped down without hesitation, blowing the fire fold in his hand.

The three of them went around the square, and there was nothing in the square.

"This square looks like it is made of mud, and it is also a loss to the desert of Xinjiang, if it had been replaced by other places, this city would have been washed away by the groundwater a long time ago." In addition to being surprised, Lao Jiang did not forget to sigh.

"But what is this underground village used for?" Zhuo Fan was shocked by the scene in front of him, those low bungalows, quietly crawling under this underground, in the dark, who built such an ancient village, and what is the purpose of this underground village?

"Could it have something to do with Moonlight Village?" Lao Jiang was next to the poker face and walked slowly towards the village.

"What are you talking about Moonlight Village?" Zhuo Fan didn't know about the existence of Moonlight Village in the first place, but when he heard Lao Jiang mention it this time, he couldn't help but ask.

Lao Jiang slowly told Zhuo Fan the story of Poker Face and Moonlight Village, but Lao Jiang's recounting was far from Pokerface's real experience.

Zhuo Fan sighed after hearing this, "I really didn't expect that there was such a group of people underground, so do you know where they went?" Zhuo Fan asked curiously.

Of course, Lao Jiang couldn't answer, and looked at the poker face with Zhuo Fan. It's not that Poker Face doesn't want to answer, it's just that even he doesn't know. I had to shake my head.

"Did you come to them this time?" Zhuo Fan's sudden question surprised Poker Face, he thought that he knew more about the secrets guarded by the Duanmu family than Zhuo Fan, but Zhuo Fan's unintentional or intentional question made Poker Face realize that maybe Zhuo Fan's appearance this time was not accidental.

Poker Face said lightly, "No. ”

Zhuo Fan smiled shallowly. sighed, "I'm really curious about this moonlight village. ”

Lao Jiang was also keenly aware of Zhuo Fan's thoughts, and patted Zhuo Fan's shoulder with a smile, "Brother, don't think about it, this Moonlight Clan has long since disappeared." They are people who can't be seen in the sun, and our greatest respect for them is not to disturb. ”

Poker Face was stunned for a moment, and then pushed open the door of the nearest bungalow. The gate is narrow, almost a meter wide, and can only be passed by one person. But as soon as the poker face pushed the door open, he stood still at the door, which made Lao Jiang and Zhuo Fan surprised and embarrassed.

Although Zhuo Fan was holding a flashlight, he was blocked by Poker Face, and the light of the flashlight hit Poker Face's back, shaking him and unable to open his eyes. He nudged Pokerface, "Pokerface, what's wrong with you?" ”

Poker's face flashed, and he took the flashlight from Zhuo Fan's hand, "Look." ”

The light of the flashlight slid parallel through the room at a uniform speed, and the house was small, with only one room, and there was nothing in the room except for a coffin in the center.

"What kind of haunted house is this?" Lao Jiang was frightened and immediately hid behind Zhuo Fan, Zhuo Fan was also startled when he saw the coffin at first glance, and in the dark, he could almost hear his heartbeat. was frightened by Lao Jiang like this, and suddenly felt a lot of nervous breakdown. He couldn't help but pinch his arm. "How can there be a coffin in this house?"

Poker Face didn't say anything, grabbed the flashlight and walked to the side, then pushed open the second door and the third door. Although Lao Jiang and Zhuo Fan were a little scared, they couldn't care about so much for a long time, so they just followed the poker face. I saw that after opening several doors in a row, the poker face finally stopped moving.

"This is a catacomb."

"I have never seen a burial chamber with so many coffins...... Lao Jiang's voice was very heavy, "If there is a coffin in every room here, then here, I'm afraid there are hundreds of coffins." It is more of a burial chamber than a cemetery. ”

Without hesitation, Pokerface walked through the door, crouched on the ground, opened his backpack, and took out his tools.

"This is going to open the coffin? Just now I was thinking, so many simple houses, each with a coffin, will definitely not be a funeral object. Lao Jiang first saw what the poker face was going to do, and squatted down to help him.

Zhuo Fan was dumbfounded by Lao Jiang's inappropriate actions, "Lao Jiang, do you approve of opening the coffin with a poker face or not?" ”

"Does it matter? Anyway, whether I approve of it or not, he will drive it. Old Jiang squinted and smiled, "In this case, of course I have to help." Speaking of this, he raised his chin, "Why are you still standing, and you don't move?" ”

Zhuo Fan had no choice but to help.

The poker face walked along the coffin for a week, and this coffin was simply nailed with coffin nails, so it was actually very simple to open the coffin, just take out the coffin nails.

The three of them lifted the top of the coffin in three or two clicks, and they rushed up for a while, and Lao Jiang complained, "So much ash." ”

The dust cleared slightly, and Zhuo Fan's retching sound was already heard next to him.

"Brother, not so, right?" After Lao Jiang finished speaking, he glanced into the coffin, even though he couldn't smell the slightest smell through the gas mask, he still felt a foul smell hit him, "What is this?" ”

Poker Face calmly walked around the coffin, "You may not have noticed, although there is only one coffin in each room here, but the size of each coffin is different. ”

"Why?" Zhuo Fan's tone was still retching.

"Because the number of people to be buried is different, there are three of them in this body. These two. Poker Face pointed to the leftmost corpse in the coffin, which was almost bone, and the one on the other side, whose flesh had just decayed. Apparently not buried at the same time. ”

"No wonder the coffin is so easy to seal, if we don't have gas masks, we might be able to smell the stench from afar. I don't know how it stinks. ”

After speaking, he patted Zhuo Fan's back, "Brother, don't retch, don't you smell anything with a mask?" If you want to vomit, take off your mask and vomit well. ”

Zhuo Fan glanced at Lao Jiang under the mask, and Lao Jiang smiled, saying that he had rough skin and thick flesh, and he didn't care about these at all. He looked into the coffin, "I said, there will be no funeral goods, and sure enough, there is nothing but the body." ”

Lao Jiang and Poker Face both bowed to the coffin three times, and then re-ordered the coffin.

In a triple room or several other coffins opened, the situation is the same as the first one, until the last one is opened. In the last coffin, it turned out to be empty, and the size of this coffin was no smaller than the previous one.

"How is this empty?" Lao Jiang didn't understand, "Isn't there a dead person together?" ”

"What's not dead?" Zhuo Fan asked.

"Of course, you don't have to bury the dead, but can't you bury the living?" Lao Jiang said casually.

"Of course you don't have to bury ...... if you're not dead," Pokerface muttered, "I see......"

"So what?" Lao Jiang leaned up and asked, he leaned too close on his poker face, and the gas masks collided together.

"The coffins here are all prepared in advance, one for each family, and when the family dies, they will be buried in their respective 'homes' one after another," Poker Face said and re-covered the coffin.

"That's it? According to what you said, this is a huge cemetery, or a cemetery with household registration. Lao Jiang shook his hand, "We don't have to open all the coffins, do we?" ”

Poker Face shook his head and walked out.

Zhuo Fan finally followed, following from a distance, and suddenly saw something in the distance, "What's that?" ”

Under the illumination of Zhuo Fan's flashlight, Poker Face and Lao Jiang looked over one after another, "That looks...... It seems to be a tower. Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and carefully identified it, "But that tower, why does it look so strange, even if it is illuminated by a flashlight, it doesn't seem to be able to see clearly." ”

"The tower is coated with extremely fine carbon black, which has a strong ability to absorb light, so even if there is a wolf's eye flashlight, it can't really be seen."

"You mean, if we hadn't had a wolf-eye flashlight, we wouldn't even be able to see where the tower was?" Lao Jiang trembled, "What tower is so mysterious?" ”
