Chapter 22: The Head Tree

"Let's go." Uncle Tang glanced at Yu Gu and spoke. "Okay." Yu Gu nodded hurriedly and cautiously followed behind Uncle Tang, for fear of encountering something that shouldn't be touched again.

Xu Xia and the fat man glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Xu Xia was a little puzzled in his heart, Uncle Tang said that Yu Zi had followed him for a long time, and there were not one thousand but eight hundred tombs that had been stolen, how could he make such a low-level mistake, it was really strange.

Xu Xia couldn't help but glance at Yu Gu, his heart full of doubts.

"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it."

Xu Xia shook his head and didn't dwell on this question anymore.

Xu Xia and the others cautiously bypassed the strange sarcophagus and walked towards the next tomb.

The ancient tomb emitted the dim light of candles, and a huge banyan tree appeared in front of Xu Xia and the others.

When they saw the banyan tree, their eyes widened.

The branches of the banyan tree were no longer foliage, but hundreds of human heads of different sizes, some of which were dripping blood, as if they had just been cut down.

When the fat man saw this bloody scene, he couldn't help but prop up the wall and vomit violently.

"Really, I didn't bring you here if I knew I wouldn't have brought you?"

Seeing the fat man vomiting constantly, Xu Xia said dissatisfiedly.

"It's... Head tree? It's the first time I've seen a head tree in my life. ”

Looking at the banyan tree full of human heads in front of him, Uncle Tang couldn't help but sigh.

When Xu Xia heard his words, he also looked at the human head tree, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Tang, what is the human head tree?" ”

Uncle Tang looked at Xu Xia and said: "This human head tree is a means of sacrifice during the Qin Dynasty, the people of the Qin Dynasty cut off the heads of those who accompanied the burial, sacrificed the dead tomb owners, and tied their heads to the banyan tree with the branches and leaves cut off, which became the human head tree." ”

"That's inhumane, isn't it?"

Listening to Uncle Tang's words, Xu Xia couldn't help but say.

"It's just because it's inhumane and bloody, so you can't see anything about the human head tree in books and film and television works, and even if there is, it will be renamed, so what we generally hear is called the ghost head pit."

Uncle Tang opened his mouth and said.

Xu Xia nodded and said, "Uncle Tang, why is it that the human head on this head tree is still so fresh after a thousand years, and even dripping blood." ”

"Xia boy, I'll explain it to you."

Uncle Tang looked at the puzzled look on Xu Xia's face, and said: "This ancient people, there is a special preservation method, they apply a layer of special chemicals on the corpse, which can play a role in embalming, just like the Egyptian mummy, which uses the same method. ”

"Oh, I see, but why do I think some people have their heads just hung up?"

Xu Xia looked at Uncle Tang and said suspiciously.

"Hmm."

Uncle Tang was slightly stunned, and then his eyes fell on the human head tree.

Yu Gu frowned and said, "Little Xu, don't you say that I haven't found out yet, some people's heads really seem to have just been hung up." ”

"It's weird, why is this happening?"

Uncle Tang stared at the head tree, his face full of doubt.

The fat man continued to vomit, and his gaze suddenly fell on something on the ground, and he suddenly stopped vomiting.

"Look, what is this?"

The fat man brought the things in his hand to Xu Xia and the others, and said a little excitedly.

"What is this?"

Xu Xia and Uncle Tang looked at the clothes on the fat man's hand and the bright lotus logo on the clothes, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the clothes of the Blood Lotus Organization!" ”

Uncle Tang frowned and said, "It seems that those people from the Blood Lotus Organization have really entered this ancient tomb, and several people have died here in the Human Head Tree, and their heads have all been hung on this Human Head Tree. ”

"I see, Uncle Tang, what should we do next?"

Xu Xia looked at Uncle Tang and asked.

"Keep going."

Uncle Tang pondered for a while and spoke.

"Okay, Uncle Tang."

Xu Xia nodded, and the four of them left the burial chamber where the human head tree was located.

Before leaving the tomb, Xu Xia took one last look at the human head tree.

Looking at the human head tree, Xu Xia couldn't help but shake his head.

Just after everyone left, Leng Xuan's figure appeared in this tomb.

And behind him, a strange figure rushed in, aiming directly at Leng Xuan.

"So unrelenting."

Leng Xuan said coldly, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since you want to die so much, then I'll give you a ride." ”

The tall figure finally revealed his true body, which turned out to be a bloody corpse covered in blood.

Looking at the bloody corpse, the sneer on Leng Xuan's face was even worse, and a cold chill suddenly filled the entire tomb.

"Ahh

Xu Xia, who was walking, suddenly sneezed and said to himself, "Why did it suddenly get cold?" ”

Feeling the icy chill, Xu Xia couldn't help but look behind him.

There was nothing behind him but pitch black.

What Xu Xia and the others didn't know was that in the tomb with a human head tree that they had just walked through, a battle was quietly beginning.

To be continued.
