Chapter 40: The Thrilling Pit of Ten Thousand Bones (I)
There was a violent shaking under my feet, as if I was standing on the side of the train track to work when I was a child, and the earth trembled as the train passed by.
The place we had just seen was full of bones and suddenly a large pit collapsed, and from the bottom of the pit there were constant cries, as if many women were whining.
Bai Yun was bandaging Qianjue's wounds, Jiang Yuan and I took the miner's lamp and cautiously went over to take a look, the bottomless pit, the surrounding human bones were constantly falling, and there was no echo.
"Is thisβthe mechanism is activated?" I asked Jiang Yuan.
"No, it's subsidence." Jiang Yuan held the miner's lamp and stepped on the human bones under his feet to circle around the deep pit.
As he spoke, there was another shaking under his feet, and the human bones around the pit began to fall down in a large area, and the scene was shocking.
Qian Jue and Bai Yun also walked over, Qian Jue's attention was all focused on the walls of this tomb, perhaps out of the sensitivity of his profession, he seemed to really see something.
"Boss, don't come."
I leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Boss, do you remember that there is a rubbings of an ancient book fragment in our store, do you still remember the words on it?"
I thought about it for a moment, "I think there is such a one, but I sold it." β
Qian Jue was stunned, "Sold?" β
Bai Yun immediately added: "Who are you selling?" β
Jiang Yuan also seemed to be alarmed, standing on the opposite side of the pit, he shone a flashlight on us, and the flashlight shook on me, "Who asked you to buy it." β
I stood between Qianjue and Bai Yun and tried to recall the appearance of the buyer, and suddenly my eyes lit up and said, "It's Li Laosi." Yes, it's him. β
Qian Jue immediately turned around and carefully inspected the wall. While scraping off a layer of ash from the surface of the wall with a small blade, he said, "Why did Li Laosi buy that thing for no reason?" β
I said, "He seems to be saying that there is a big seller who likes to collect ancient books. I didn't want the original rubbing, and the bid was very high, so I saw that this thing was also moldy across the way, so I sold it. β
Bai Yun immediately said: "It's really a ring, originally your kid was already targeted." β
Qianjue said: "It's because of me." β
Bai Yun said: "Otherwise, the second hall master of Hanhai Company disappeared for no reason, and the black and white people have been secretly looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would hide in the trading center of Panjiayuan." The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. β
Qian Jue smiled, the movements in his hands were very fast, and in a moment, a large piece of wall skin had been cleared. In addition to the brightly colored murals inside, these colors are instantly oxidized after contact with the air, losing their original luster and brightness.
"Fourth? Bai Yun, you Dongyuan are also too careless, and you have no precautions at all when there is such a big loophole. β
Bai Yun said in a deep voice: "His father and Old Man Guan are brothers who worship their sons, and no one would have thought that their brothers would betray themselves." β
Jiang Yuan walked back from the edge of the pit and said, "In front of interests." Is the fact that fathers and sons kill each other less from ancient times to the present day? Hanhai is like this, Dongyuan is like this, I really don't know what else can be believed in this society. β
I must have been reluctant at once, and said, "When did you kid become so sentimental?" Why don't you look at good examples, from ancient times to the present, there are many brothers together, and there are also facts about the deep love between father and son. A head full of negative energy. β
Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered and he looked at the deep pit. I suddenly thought of the Ten Thousand Bone Pit in Yunnan, at the bottom of the pit. This kid once pulled out a gun against me, but in the end he still chose to believe me, maybe our Xiao family has such a little bit of attachment to people's feelings in our bones, don't hit the south wall and don't look back.
Qian Jue had already cleaned out the one-meter-square mural, and he took a few steps back, and the creaking sound of the human bones under his feet made people's hairs stand on end.
The cleaned mural shows a woman dressed in a sacrificial dress, wearing a sacrificial crown, carrying a string of ornaments on the wrist of her left hand, and holding a yellow spring staff in her right hand. β
Jiang Yuan and I said in unison: "Death ceremony." β
"Rama Witch." Bai Yun's faint tone was extremely shocking.
"Yes, the Rama Witch Clan, this legendary people, so the Snowy Tribes really disappeared because they were called a people from hell by the world?"
Qian Jue shook his head and said: "Not exactly, the disappearance of the snow region is caused by natural disasters and man-made, the war made this alien tribe disappear from history, and natural disasters also buried everything they once had under the yellow sand."
Just when all our minds were on the mural and the Rama Witch matter, the pit behind us began to move, the creaking sound gradually became clear, and under the flashlight, I clearly saw a hand bone moving, and it was moving in our direction.
Immediately afterwards, the human bones on the edge of the pit began to move, and not only that, but the ones under our feet were also moving, and they seemed to be alive, and some of the whole human bones actually broke free from some of the broken bones covered on them, and began to stand up, and it seemed to me that it was a complete skeleton moving towards me.
"I'll go, let's go." I yelled, and took the lead in pulling Qian Jue towards the door, Jiang Yuan and Bai Yunyejin followed, but just as we were about to cross Menken, two skeletons suddenly stood up at the door, one left and one right, in front of us like a god.
Jiang Yuan flew up and kicked off the head of one of the skeletons, but the skeleton's body was still moving freely, and it was leaning towards us at the moment.
The older and more skeletons woke up, and we were forced to retreat back to the place where we had just been frescoed, and within the range of our light source, I saw at least forty or fifty skeletons, not counting the broken arms and legs that were crawling towards us on the ground.
My first reaction was that he was really lucky, this is the real Valley of Ten Thousand Skulls.
"Beat them on the limbs." I shouted.
Jiang Yuan's skills are very fast, he turned off the flashlight, in the dark, only heard a few crackling sounds, the sound of bones breaking came, four or five skeletons have been divided by him, Bai Yun and I belong to the half-tone type, especially me, I am good at group fights, this kind of single fight and the enemy is outnumbered, I am cowardly from the heart, I want to run.
Qian Jue ran to the other side alone with a backpack, he was still studying the murals in this tomb, I wanted to speak but unfortunately was strangled by a skeletal hand, the whole person was lifted, and after the feet left the ground, the hands were even more weak, just like a hanged person, I kicked my feet randomly, and said that so many people in ancient times could not think of hanging themselves, and daring to hang this hanging is the most painful, Lao Tzu can't die like this if he dies, it's too sad.
With the last bit of strength, I took out the strength and angle of my kick as a striker in junior high school, and kicked it out steadily, only to feel a sharp pain in my right foot, and I don't know where I kicked the skeleton, anyway, as soon as its hand was released, I fell out of the air.
The flashlight rolled to the side, I didn't care about my foot pain, I crawled over to pick up my flashlight, and after readjusting the brightness, I saw that Qianjue had cleaned up a large piece, this time there was no mural under the wall, but a stone door more than half a meter high and one meter wide.
I ran over and pushed open the stone door with Qianjue, a sour and moldy smell rushed straight to my head, I asked Qianjue to go over to answer first, and I myself stood on the edge of the stone gate, holding a miner's lamp in one hand and a flashlight in the other, shouting: "Stop fighting, come here." β
Bai Yun was the closest to me, and he ran over and snatched the flashlight and miner's lamp in my hand, and ordered, "You go first." β
"You go first." I snatched the flashlight back.
Jiang Yuan's voice came in the darkness, "You all go over, and then give me a signal." β
I know Jiang Yuan's personality, he never does anything that doesn't take me seriously, "Then you be careful." β
"Bai Yun, go."
Bai Yun and I drilled through the stone gate one after another, and then I threw a cold firework over, it stands to reason that Jiang Yuan will make peace with us in less than half a minute, but we waited for a minute, the fighting over there was still fierce, but I didn't see Jiang Yuan come out, I didn't have a good heart, there must be a new situation over there, and at this time, Qian Jue's body suddenly shook, the whole person's eyes were red, glowing with a faint red light, and his hands were stuck on my neck, I was still defenseless, and I was strangled by him and had no power to fight back.
