Chapter 6: The Tomb
Zuo Qingcang felt a strong malice staring at him, that kind of feeling could only be felt when he was put a gun to his head in the previous life.
So he stopped and didn't move, because he was afraid that any movement he made would be attacked by the other party. He could only use his ears, the peripheral vision of his eyes, and the touch of his skin to constantly look around him, trying to find the source of this malice.
But no, Zuo Qingcang couldn't hear anything except his own heartbeat and breathing. No other creatures are to be seen.
After a stalemate like this for about five minutes, just as Zuo Qingcang's half-lying muscles began to ache, and he wondered if he should simply retreat regardless of it, the fluorescence in front of him suddenly flashed, illuminating all the tree holes around him.
In the bright turquoise, the hollow of the tree near him turned a miserable green, and the whispering female voice in his ear sounded again. The next moment, Zuo Qingcang's pupils dilated instantly, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
Because just over thirty meters in front of him, the hole in the tree that had been submerged in the darkness became extremely clear under the fluorescent light.
The coffins of the three crystals stood straight over there, the tree hole was very low, so the upper part of them was wrapped in various vines and branches, Zuo Qingcang could only see that in the lower part of the crystal coffin, there was a pair of snow-white and dry soles, and the upper part of the soles of the feet was wrapped in a white long skirt.
'This is supposed to be a female corpse......'
Zuo Qingcang could even see that the other party's black length was dragged directly to the ground and landed on the heel of the sole of his foot. Among the three crystal coffins, this is the scene in the coffin on the left and in the middle.
But what really made Zuo Qingcang's breathing heavier was the coffin on the right, the crystal coffin that I don't know who opened it, and it was empty.
At this moment, the female voice who knew all about Suo Suo and was talking to herself was already close at hand, and it sounded as if it was speaking in Zuo Qingcang's ear. He could feel something lying behind him, blowing into his ear.
The hairs behind Zuo Qingcang's back exploded, and he didn't have time to care about so much, the dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely in the back, and there was a series of gold and iron clashing sounds.
After the stab, Zuo Qingcang didn't look at the result, and the whole person was like a big python, flying forward. All the muscles in his body moved, and he walked through the hollow of the tree with all his might, like the muscles and scales of a snake.
Behind him, a piercing female voice screamed, which seemed to contain infinite anger, resentment, and despair.
Zuo Qingcang barely glanced back, and could only see a figure wrapped in a white robe and a black long, on all fours, like some kind of alien, rushing towards Zuo Qingcang's back.
The dagger stabbed on the other party's body just now was like a stab on a steel plate, and until now, Zuo Qingcang could still feel the tingling from his arm.
Another monster that is difficult to compete with flesh and blood, after Zuo Qingcang made this judgment, he ran forward without looking back, and deliberately bypassed the location of the other two crystal coffins.
But I don't know if it was Zuo Qingcang's stimulation just now that angered the monster behind him, the female corpse chased Zuo Qingcang closely, and she seemed to be very adaptable to the environment here, and after landing on all fours, she ran extremely fast in this tree hole. Zuo Qingcang couldn't shake him off even if he exploded several times.
Instead, his own body was consumed by Yan zhòng. The female corpse was getting closer and closer to him, and Zuo Qingcang could even feel the piercing scream behind his head.
At this critical moment, a pair of dry palms suddenly stretched out from the top of the tree hole, and at the same time an old voice was heard.
"Come over here......"
At the moment of life and death, Zuo Qingcang didn't have time to think about it, he directly grabbed the palm that was stretched out, and felt a surge of power, and with the power of Zuo Qingcang's own legs to kick the ground, he directly dragged him out towards the top of the tree hole.
It turned out that in the dark jungle here, there was an exit from a tree hole, if someone hadn't stretched out his hand, Zuo Qingcang would definitely not have been able to show this exit. He was dragged out of the tree hole and into a corridor, where he was dragged out by a scrawny man, and after the man dragged him out, he directly stretched out the torch in his other hand to the tree hole.
I saw the female corpse with her entire head wrapped in black long rushing out of the hole, and crashed into the torch head-on, and she screamed in fear under the light of the fire.
The man shouted, "The torches won't stop him for long, move the stones over and plug the hole." ”
Zuo Qingcang's reaction was very fast, and after hearing this, he immediately stood up, rushed to the stone behind the man, and pushed the stone slab towards the hole with both palms. When the man saw this, he directly threw the torch into the tree hole, and then together with Zuo Qingcang, taking advantage of the retreat of the female corpse, they pushed the stone slab together and blocked the tree hole.
"Ah!!!h
Piercing screams, thumping thumps kept coming from the other end of the slate. Zuo Qingcang and the man beside him could only hold on to this side of the slate.
After a long time, the impact stopped, the horrible scream was gone, and silence returned to all around.
The man gasped and said, "It's okay, they can't leave the coffin for too long, these ghosts should go back." ”
At this time, Zuo Qingcang was in the mood to look at the surrounding scene. They were now in a corridor with a torch erected in it, and the rest of the tunnels were all submerged in darkness at both ends, not knowing where they were going.
The damage to the corridor seems to be very severe, and there are cracked walls everywhere and protruding roots and vines.
Under the light of the fire, Zuo Qingcang looked at the man beside him. It was a dry-skinned, skinny old man who looked like a dried corpse, and his face was crisscrossed with wrinkles.
Looking at the old man beside him, Zuo Qingcang asked, "Who are you?" Where exactly is this? What was that thing just now? ”
"Hey, hey, hey." Hearing Zuo Qingcang's question, the old man did not answer directly, but laughed in a low voice. When Zuo Qingcang's face became more and more gloomy with a smile all the time, he said in an official accent with a thick accent.
"What my name is, even I almost forgot jì. As for where this is, I don't know, but I, like you, were shipwrecked on this desert island. ”
The old man sighed, and then said, "As for the ghost thing just now, it is called Yin Girl, it is a young woman who died with hatred, and it was formed after absorbing enough corpse qi.
Not only did he walk like the wind, he was invulnerable, but his body was full of corpse poison. ”
Zuo Qingcang looked at him coldly and said, "You also came from a shipwreck?" So how long have you been here, and have you ever tried to go to sea? ”
"Out to sea?" The old man laughed in a low voice: "You don't understand, this island, no matter how good you are, you can't get out." There will be no ships passing by outside, not even this island, and even the tomb in front of us, we can't get out now.
We came here, destined to die alone. ”
"Tomb? You say that the place where we are now is a tomb? Zuo Qingcang frowned and said, "Who would build such a tomb on such a deserted island." ”
"Of course ordinary people don't." In the old man's eyes, there was a burst of gloom, and he said with a mysterious face: "But the owner of this tomb is not an ordinary person, he was still alive when he was buried here." ”
"Alive?"
Glancing at Zuo Qingcang, the old man patted his ass and stood up: "Let's go, you don't understand just by saying, I'll take you to have a look." ”
Seeing that the old man picked up the torch and slowly disappeared into the corridor with a little firelight, Zuo Qingcang thought about it and followed. After all, he didn't know anything about this place, and in fact, he had no choice but to follow the old man.
The road is very long, it looks like a hell passage that can never reach the bottom, the old man walked in front, and said: "I have studied this place for a long time, and all the buildings here are in the style of the Western Wei Dynasty, and this tomb has a history of more than 2,000 years since now." ”
'Western Wei? Zuo Qingcang recalled Liu Zhicheng's memory in his mind, the Western Wei Dynasty in the old man's mouth was the first dynasty with a surname on the Central Plains, and the Central Plains people who had just broken away from the tribal system and mastered farming, domestication and other technologies got together for the first time and established the first dynasty on the Central Plains 6. After that, the Central Plains and the land were divided and merged for more than 2,000 years before they reached the current Great Qi Dynasty.
For example, the so-called Western Wei Dynasty is the equivalent of the Xia Dynasty in Earth China. It is a distant and mysterious dynasty.
But this made Zuo Qingcang even more confused.
"More than two thousand years ago? Did the people of the Western Wei Dynasty have the technology to come to such a remote desert island and build such a tomb? ”
"It's Taoism." The old man said with emotion: "In ancient times, people, gods and demons coexisted, and any one born had all kinds of incredible magical powers. Able to practice Taoism and martial arts. ”
"But with the change of the times, there are fewer and fewer people who can practice Taoism and martial arts, and many powerful supernatural powers have also been lost. And in this cemetery of the Western Wei Dynasty, there are still many traces of advanced Taoism that are not available now. ”
"This place was not built by human beings at all."
"He was built by a group of people who had the highest Taoist cultivation in the Western Wei Dynasty at that time."
"They came all the way to this barren land and built such a ghostly tomb just to bury something."
Listening to what the old man said, Zuo Qingcang was a little unimpressed. Whether it is this world or the earth of the past, ancient people always liked to exaggerate the ancient people and mysterious powers.
He felt that the people of the Western Wei Dynasty at that time had just entered the feudal era, and Taoism might have some mysterious power, but it was impossible for them to have this kind of ocean-going technology and come to such a distant desert island. It is more likely that this was the work of a mysterious civilization that has no records in history.
You must know that the so-called New Da 6 was also after the Great Qi Dynasty, when the imperial court vigorously developed maritime and navigation technology, and it really appeared and began to colonize. Until then, the so-called overseas fairy islands, the country across the sea, were nothing more than legends.
The old man looked at the torch in his hand and said, "Let's hurry up, this torch is about to be extinguished, and this is also my last torch." ”
The corridor was longer than Zuo Qingcang imagined, Zuo Qingcang silently counted in his heart, and the two of them walked for about three hours before they came to a bronze gate.
The gate was tightly sealed, but on the corridor to the left of the gate, a gap was revealed that only one person could cross. The torch in the old man's hand was only a wisp of fire, and he walked towards the gap. "I haven't been able to get past this gate before, but the history of this tomb is too long after all, and after an earthquake, a crack opened in this place so that I can go in and have a look." ”
"Let's go, the secret of this tomb is all in it."
