Chapter 165: Underground Corpse Pit
Walking in this passage, I accidentally saw a relief picture of humanoid demons sucking the blood of children on the walls on both sides, so I immediately stopped and grabbed Chi Han's clothes: "Look at the walls on both sides. ”
Chi Han stopped, and carefully shone his flashlight on the relief on the wall for a while: "Brother Jiang, if you look carefully at the costumes of these vampires and the blood-sucked child, they don't look like the costumes of modern people, nor are they Westerners. It looks a bit like our ancient clothes. ”
I hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that I heard him say that, I realized that it was really the case. The relief portraits on the walls show that the costumes of the vampires and the bloodsucked are very quaint, obviously ancient Chinese costumes, and I can even know that this must be the costume before the Ming Dynasty!
Because although I don't have too in-depth research on history, but at the beginning of Brother Long's original historical knowledge, I still have some understanding of the costumes of the two closest feudal dynasties, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the costumes of the people on these relief paintings are obviously not from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
"That's right, it's really an ancient Chinese costume. Could it be that in ancient times, there were already Western vampires who slipped to us? However, at that time, Chinese metaphysics was still in its prosperous era, and there should still be many masters of Taoism in the Ming Dynasty, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with just a few vampires, right? "I reached out and slowly brushed the reliefs, feeling a cold aura that seemed to permeate them.
Chi Han shook his head: "There are some interesting things in this." Brother Jiang, you may not know. In the records of Christians in the West, vampires were confirmed and appeared in the West for the first time. Presumably in the fifteenth century. It appeared at that time in the region of Wallachia in southern Romania. ”
What's wrong with this?
Chi Han's words made me a little puzzled, but soon a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind. Got what he meant.
XV century!? That is, it was almost the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It was only around the middle of the Ming Dynasty that the Western Christian court texts really had real records of the terrible demon vampire. But...... The relief in front of us depicts a vampire sucking the blood of a child, which clearly appeared before the Ming Dynasty.
That is to say, in China, such a thing as vampires appeared much earlier than in the West. Vampires, which are generally considered Western demons, are actually ...... From China!!
I felt a shock that it was a reversal of my previous beliefs. Because I always thought that vampires were pure Western monsters. Now the relief frescoes here seem to illustrate. This is actually a demon from China?!
"This ...... It's a bit unbelievable. I looked at the mural in front of me, and then at Chi Han next to me, muttering to myself in disbelief.
Chi Han pondered for a moment: "But this ancient tomb seems to be more than a hundred years old, and we can't be sure for the time being whether the relief murals on both sides of these ancient tomb passages are the real situation, or the people who built this place are making it up." Let's find out the situation first. ”
I felt that what he said made sense, so I stopped dwelling on the contents of the relief fresco, and continued to walk with him towards the passage.
Finally, after walking for about two more minutes, I was illuminated by the light of a flashlight. There was a cave-like spot ahead, indicating that we were almost done with the passage.
After a few quick steps, I exited the passage and found ourselves in a stone room. This place is boxy. The length, width and height are almost three meters, giving people the feeling of being inside a square stone box, and there is a very oppressive atmosphere.
In this stone room. With the exception of the passage entrance where we entered, each of the other three walls had a door-like thing on it.
"Now. There is a door in all three directions, which one should we enter? With the flashlight in Chi Han's hand, it shone brightly. I asked, glancing around the stone room. The three stone doors all looked exactly the same, there was nothing special about them, and this was deep underground. We can't tell the difference between the east and the west, so we don't know which one to open.
And we don't know if there is anything dangerous hidden behind these stone gates. But they have all come here, and naturally there is no reason to go back.
Chi Han looked at me with a confused expression: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Forget it, either we'll pick a random one and open it. Brother Jiang, you are young, you must have better luck than me, you can choose. ”
Oh my god! What is the reasoning behind this? Is it better to be lucky when you are young?
Hearing Chi Han's words, I was speechless for a while. But after giving him a blank look, I chose the door to the west. Anyway, it's a random choice, and I'm really a random door.
After choosing, the two of us walked to this stone door, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, we carefully pulled our hands on the copper ring of this stone door.
Chi Han and I grabbed the bronze ring of the stone gate at the same time, then took a deep breath and glanced at each other.
One, two, three, on!
With a force in his hand, he pulled it hard behind him, and he actually pulled the stone door. The stone door made a dull rumbling sound as it turned, and then slowly opened.
Chi Han and I hurriedly stepped aside, all on guard, as long as something strange appeared from behind this stone gate, it would immediately be a cold spell attack.
However, after the stone door was opened, there was no movement behind the door of the black hole, only gusts of wind blew out of the door of the black hole, and I don't know what was going on inside.
I winked at Chi Han, meaning that we would go up and take a look
Chi Han nodded, clenched the string of powerful Buddhist beads in one hand, and held the flashlight in the other, and then turned around, the Buddha beads in his hand waved, and the flashlight also shone forward. That action is very similar to the kind of police in Hong Kong shootout movies.
Merely. The gun in the policeman's hand turned into a string of Buddhist beads, and it really felt a little nondescript.
There was still no movement behind the stone gate. My nervousness eased a little, and then walked to the place where Chi Han was standing. By the light of the flashlight in his hand, he looked behind the stone door, and found that it seemed to be a pit going straight down, and there was nothing to see here, only the stone wall on the opposite side.
"Let's go over and take a look, there seems to be a deep pit behind this stone gate." I said to Chi Han, I already had a piece of paper money in my hand, my muscles were tense, my spiritual power was working, and I walked towards the front with the most vigilant fighting posture. I want to look down at the edge of this stone gate.
When Chi Han and I walked to the front of the stone gate, we really felt a gust of yin wind that seemed to be blowing up from the depths of the ground, and there seemed to be a faint smell of corpse decay in this wind.
This is...... The smell of decaying corpses? Could it be that this is a place to store corpses?
Chi Han and I were both shocked, and we had already vaguely thought of something in our hearts. The two men cautiously poked their heads into the stone door and looked down.
Behind the stone gate, there is indeed a deep underground pit, and the bottom of the pit is layered...... Corpse!!!
Layer upon layer. It is also unknown how many corpses there were.
Because of the large size of the crater, it looked like a large cube embedded in the earth towards the ground, surrounded by vertical smooth walls, and at the bottom were piles of corpses. These corpses are layered on top of each other. Some are already decomposed, some are dried corpses, and some look like they should be the most recent corpses. Others are very old!
As for how much this corpse has piled up, how many layers are at the bottom. Then it is unknown. All in all, this is certainly a very scary number. And Chi Han and I also found out. In addition to the vast majority of human corpses, a small number of animal corpses can also be found, mixed with a large number of human corpses, hideous and miserable......
Chi Han and I retracted our heads from the stone gate, and we both saw the shocked look in each other's eyes. We never imagined that in this place similar to an underground tomb or an underground building, there would be a corpse pit of such a huge scale!
This corpse pit is so big and deep that I don't know how many people will be able to fill it. In other words, the number of corpses thrown into this place has reached a staggering level after it was built.
"This ...... What is this place? Why are there so many corpses? Chi Han's face showed an angry and unbearable look, obviously feeling sad for these dead people.
I also felt a little angry, but I suppressed the anger in my heart and calmly analyzed: "These corpses are definitely not killed here. Because it took so much effort to build such a thing underground in Shanghai, but it was definitely impossible to use it to kill people. In other words, the corpses should have been used for some special purpose before they were thrown here. ”
Just when Chi Han and I were sad and shocked by this deep corpse pit underground, I suddenly heard a slight sound in my ears. The sound was like the sound of a person dragging something and rubbing against the ground.
I hurriedly shushed Chi Han and silenced him, then approached him and whispered, "I heard movement behind the stone gate in the north, as if something was coming towards this place." What to do? Shall we go back the way we came, or will we ......?"
Chi Han waved his hand: "How can you go back without checking?" Don't you have a spell that can make you temporarily invisible? We can hide and see what is coming. ”
I thought about it, although the stealth technique will consume a lot of spiritual power, but in the current situation, it should be the best choice. After making a decision, he no longer hesitated, took out two divine banknotes from his body, and used the stealth and eye blocking method in the dark money technique, which were pasted on me and Chi Han's bodies respectively. Then he gently retreated to the stone wall where the passage was where we came, stood in the corner with his back against the wall, turned off the flashlight, gathered his spiritual power into his eyes, and sensed the situation in the boundless darkness with his spiritual vision.
In fact, Chi Han and I are both able to see in the dark, but that will consume our spiritual power. If it had been in the past, I would naturally not have worried about such a little spiritual power. But now. I only have 20% of the strength under normal circumstances, so naturally I can only not consume spiritual power without consuming it.
Slow down your heartbeat and breathing. The whole person seemed to melt into the darkness, quietly waiting for something to come out from behind the rattling stone door.
It didn't take long. Behind the stone door, there was a tugging sound.
With the dull sound of the stone door, it was opened, and then I saw a man in a wide white robe, poking his head out of it.
Coming out from behind the stone gate was a person, not some demon or monster.
It's just that it wasn't a human face, but a grimace mask with blue fangs, two sharp fangs protruding from the lips, and there seemed to be a single horn about ten centimeters above the head.
This blue-faced, fanged grimace mask. It gave me a very uncomfortable feeling, as if the appearance of this mask made me feel inexplicably disgusted and hated. But I can't tell where this inexplicable and unprovoked disgust and hatred comes from.
I tried to adjust my emotions as much as I could, and then I saw this man in a wide white robe and a grimace mask come out from behind the stone door.
This is a tall and thin man, and the special style of white robe on his body shows that this is a fucking onmyoji of an island country!!
Depend on! It seems that this Shanghai vampire is a supernatural case. It must be the ghost of Little Japan. I really don't know what these deformed civilizations born under the birth and influence of Chinese civilization want to do.
After the Japanese onmyoji with the grimace mask came out of the stone door, his hand dragged hard, and a pile of things tied together by ropes also pulled out from behind the stone door.
The pile fell to the ground. There is a dull sound of flesh touching the stone floor. Only then did I see clearly that the large pile of things he was holding in his hands were actually four corpses tied together!!
A thick piece of hemp rope was wrapped around their necks. They were strung together, and the other end of the rope was in the hands of this Japanese onmyoji. The sound I heard just now of something rubbing against the ground was the sound of him dragging a corpse!
Damn little Japan!
See this, this scene. It was as if anger was pouring out of my heart, and I almost couldn't control my emotions and started attacking this damn thing. But reason tells me that I'd better wait and see what he does. Although I already vaguely guessed it.
There was a faint white light circulating on the hand of this Onmyoji holding the hemp rope that tied the four corpses, and it was obvious that it should have cast some spell on it, otherwise, looking at the thin body of the Onmyoji, it would be impossible to pull the weight of the four corpses.
Sure enough, as I had guessed, the guy walked towards the stone door that connected to the huge corpse pit, and then quickly opened the stone door, and finally threw all four corpses in his hand into it, and the corpses flew down quickly, smashing on the other corpses with an eerie and strange sound, irritating my eardrums.
After the little Japanese Onmyoji threw away the corpse in his hand, he seemed to be much more relaxed, and put his hands on the stone door, ready to close the stone door connected to the corpse pit.
Now is the time to !!
After he threw away the corpse, at the moment of closing the stone gate, the vigilance in his heart at this time should be the lowest, and he had to make a move at this time, so that he could have the greatest confidence to kill this guy directly!
Shattering the Arts!
I launched it suddenly, and the two pieces of paper money in my hand were suddenly pasted together, and one was formed, and then driven by spiritual power, I flew towards the back of the onmyoji in front of me, as long as I hit this guy, I was sure to break him directly to pieces!
And in this dark environment, I didn't choose to use spiritual power to ignite the Dao Fire to attack, I just felt that spells like Shattering were silent and had great destructive power.
At the same time, Chi Han, who was next to me, also moved very tacitly. He studied the method of Buddhism Vajra, which is similar to the martial arts of the Taoist mountain lineage, which is based on his strong body to attack the enemy. So at this time, he stepped on the ground under his feet, his body moved, and his two fists were clenched tightly, and there seemed to be a layer of golden Buddha light on it, and it also smashed towards the onmyoji who was facing away from us!
Now is the time!
Before this guy reacts, I'm going to kill him directly!
However, although this onmyoji didn't react, his style god had a fast speed.
Before my Shattering Technique hit him in the back, and Chi Han's fist filled with Buddha's light hadn't hit him yet, from the void beside him, a bird-like god made of paper suddenly came out. It was exactly the same as the Shikijin used by the person who sneaked up on me and Chi Han by the bushes on the ground before.
Or rather...... They're just one person!
As soon as this powerful bird-like god appeared, the temperature in this stone room suddenly increased! It's just a weird big bird made of paper, and there's nothing special about it. But as soon as it appeared, it was filled with a scorching breath, a rolling heat wave, and the heat in the stone chamber was filled with heat, and the temperature rose rapidly.
The most terrifying thing is that my piece of paper money for the Shattering Technique actually burned on its own with a bang before it was even close to it. Then the bird flew out at once, let out a loud and high-pitched chirp, and flew towards Chi Han, and suddenly collided with Chi Han's fist filled with Buddha's light.
I only heard a rumbling sound, and that layer of Buddha light suddenly exploded, turning into a faint golden light. A powerful force pushed Chi Han back again and again, staggering and almost falling, and the bird-like god seemed to want to take advantage of the situation to attack.
At this moment, the situation is critical, and it is in such a small stone chamber, it is not appropriate to use spells again, so ...... Guns should be used!
After following Chi Han as a police officer for more than two months, I am already somewhat familiar with guns. When this little Japanese onmyoji appeared before, we didn't turn our brains, and subconsciously used the attack method of the Xuanmen spell. I knew that if I shot him directly in the back, it would be a hundred.
I suddenly pulled out my pistol and aimed it directly at the heart of the onmyoji, and it was a shot!
I have to say that this bird form god is powerful, and the moment I shoot, I was able to give up attacking Chi Han and return to defense with an incredibly fast speed. But no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than a bullet that shoots out of the chamber.
So the bird-like god's wings only lightly blocked it, but the bullet still flew ahead of the curve and accurately hit the onmyoji's heart. A splatter of blood splattered out, staining his white robes red.
However, he didn't fall down because of this, but just covered his chest and made a painful sound. Then he said a series of words in Japanese that we didn't understand, and I thought it was some Japanese mantra or something.
Sure enough, the bird-like god came at me with an even more awe-inspiring attack, and in less than a second, he destroyed my pistol. Then he flew back quickly, and flew up with the onmyoji wrapped in him, and flew in towards the stone door where they came, and disappeared inside.
"Chase! He was so badly injured, the spell definitely couldn't last, and the speed couldn't be fast! ”
I shouted, and Chi Han and the two of them no longer hesitated, and quickly followed the bird-like god, entered the stone door, and chased forward. Along the way, we also saw the red blood dripping from the ground, and it was obvious that the Onmyoji was also not lightly injured.
The passage behind this stone door was very smooth, and Chi Han and I were chasing after each other quickly, and we could almost faintly see the outline of the bird-like god flying in front of us.
I was about to catch up, but the passage ahead suddenly went up, and a stone staircase appeared in front of me and Chi Han. The bird god flew fast, but Chi Han and I had to climb the almost vertical stone staircase, and our movements were naturally slower. (To be continued.) )
