"Damn, Lao Yuan, your family really has an organ."

Looking at what I was leaning back to, I didn't know how to answer him for a while. In front of me, instead of the stone walls of the cellar, there was a tall bookshelf full of books, and at a glance there were at least several hundred of them. The books were covered with dust, but they were all well preserved, and the strangest thing was that the shelves and the books were not moldy or gnawed by rats and ants in such an environment. When I stepped up again, I could smell a faint scent.

Lao Tan was so surprised that he picked up a book and began to read it, and after reading a few pages, he shouted at me: "It's still "Collected Books", this kind of thing, it should be read by your grandfather's generation." ”

I didn't answer, I picked up a book and put it under my phone to flip through it. However, after we opened a dozen books in a row, neither of us spoke anymore.

Some of these books are ancient books, and some are published in modern times, but without exception, these are all books about the structure, culture, and geography of ancient Chinese tombs. Many pages have even been marked or annotated, apparently by someone who has studied them in depth before.

Lao Tan swallowed his saliva very hard, "Lao Yuan, that you, you used to say that you don't know what your father does, right?" ”

I'm not stupid, I know what he wants to say to me. For more than ten years, those clues about my father's side flashed quickly in my mind. Looking through, or even researching such books, I am either an archaeologist or a lover of this subject, and the last, and most likely, for my father, I can't help but shudder when those three words come to mind. "Going south and creating north, studying these things uncertainly, and having money, could it be that my father is a tomb robber?"

Presumably, my face was not good-looking at this time, so Lao Tan patted me on the shoulder, "I can't be so sure, there are many possibilities." Anyway, Lao Tzu won't care about this, we have been brothers all our lives, and the grievances of the previous generation"

The more Lao Tan talked about it, the more he didn't know where he was going, and he stopped talking after the end. I knew that he was afraid that I would think I was the son of a tomb robber, and that he would look down on me. But my current mood is actually not easy to accept for a while, after all, I have imagined that my father is a pimp before, so this is actually not the worst case. On the contrary, after the feeling of being overwhelmed, I felt a great curiosity in my heart.

Lao Tan is the same, this guy who usually doesn't even bother to read yellow books, is now holding a book that I don't know what era Lu Dao is reading with relish. After the two of them rummaged through it for a while, I realized that this bookshelf was actually made up of two bookshelves merging, and in the center, there was a gap in one hand that could fit in.

I reached out and looked in, and saw that there was no end behind the bookshelf. "There's still room in there."

"yes." After Lao Tan read it, he also nodded, "Eh, let me say, do you think these two big bookshelves are actually two closed doors?" ”

"If it's a closed door, there must be a groove at the bottom, you take a snapshot."

Lao Tan and I squatted down, and then used our phones to shine a light on the bottom of the gap. Sure enough, there was a groove in the slate. Lao Tan and I glanced at each other, and then tacitly pushed the bookshelves to both sides. I don't know if there are too many books or the bookshelf itself is too heavy, but it took a lot of effort to reluctantly open a gap for one person to enter and exit.

Before I had time to wipe my sweat, a fire suddenly flashed behind the bookshelf, and the entire space in front of me suddenly brightened. We were stunned for a moment, and then we saw that behind the bookshelf was a stone room with an arched roof, and there was a space of sixty or seventy square meters inside. On each of the three walls was a black stone beast head, and I don't know if it was a dog or something. The mouth of each beast head was wide open, and there seemed to be an oil platform in its mouth, and the fire was lit there.

"It's really advanced." Lao Tan also forgot to be afraid at this time, and with a look of surprise on his face, he immediately got in.

I followed into the stone chamber and found that there were no furnishings inside, except for the beast's head on the wall for lighting, only something covered with a red cloth in front of it. I don't know what the road is, it is two or three meters high, and the width is two-thirds of the width of the stone chamber.

Lao Tan walked up to me with a very strange expression at this time, "Old Yuan, if, uh, I mean if your father is that kind of, uh underground worker, do you think this is a treasure covered with a cloth?" ”

I smiled helplessly, "That's not impossible." ”

"Since we're all here, why don't you pull it away?" After all, this is my home, and Lao Tan has to be polite with me.

However, I was also full of curiosity at this time, and I thought that the most I could do was to see the belongings that my father had scavenged from those dead people, and I thought it didn't matter. So, I walked over to the pile and was ready to reach out and uncover the red cloth.

When this person thinks of treasure, he will lose a little calm. Lao Tan and I just want to see a golden light flash in front of us now, and we don't have any other preparations at all. So, when I reached out and pulled back the red cloth and the huge thing actually appeared in front of our eyes, the two of us held our breath almost at the same time.

What catches our eyes is not so much terrible or terrible as evil. I can't accept that there is such a thing hidden in a place where I have lived for more than ten years.

What appeared before our eyes was three rows of coffins side by side. The coffins were unlike anything I had seen before, some were very old, with patterns and words we didn't recognize. Some of them are very strangely shaped, and the whole coffin looks like a giant black fish. Some are even made of stone or metal, with chains coiled in between, and it is not known what the purpose of the road is. If this is the case, Lao Tan and I will not be scared like this. The most terrifying thing for us is that there are many children crawling on the three-layer coffin.

The children, who looked less than a month old, lay motionless on their stomachs, their bodies as black and gray as corpses, and I immediately remembered the baby girl who had been soaked in water during the day. What's even more shocking is that these children have one or several deep and long cuts on their bodies. All the wounds opened outward, revealing bright red flesh and white bones, and the human scalp was numb to see. And without exception, on their faces, they are all very happy smiles, but they are definitely not "joyful" black hole eyes, two rows of sharp teeth in the mouth, which has nothing to do with "joy". Evil, can only be evil.

Lao Tan was probably frightened crazy, standing there motionless and not understanding, but his mouth was counting: "one, two, three" and he didn't know if he was counting the coffins or the number of children.

"Don't count, don't count!"

All of a sudden, I screamed, and at this point, I didn't know how I could make a sound other than screaming like this.

Old Tan's eyes were already straight, and after I shouted, he was still counting there, as if he couldn't hear me. I'm only a little better than him, and I don't know what I think at this time, so I reached out and slapped him in the face.

Old Tan was slapped to the ground by me, but he finally didn't continue counting. Then, all that was left in the stone chamber was the sound of the two of us gasping for breath.

It was a long time before I stepped forward to help Lao Tan up. "You're fine, are you?"

Lao Tan shook his head, then nodded again, and then suddenly raised his eyes to look at me, "Yuan Jie, this, what are these?" No, it can't really be a little doll, right? ”

I plucked up my courage and looked at what was in front of me again. "I don't know, but I think they might be the bodies of children."

"How can a corpse lie on a coffin?"

"Who knows, I think we'd better hurry up and get out of Lu." I couldn't think about anything else, the only thing that came to my mind was that this place was not a good place to stay for long.

As soon as I finished speaking, all of a sudden, the three rows of coffins in front of me shook violently, and Lao Tan and I grabbed each other's arms at the same time. The tremors lasted for a short time, and they looked very eerie, as if the contents of those coffins were moving. As soon as the shaking stopped, two children who were lying on the coffin fell from above.

With a "bang", the sound of porcelain breaking came into the ears of me and Lao Tan.

Seeing the bodies of the two children shatter like tiles, Lao Tan and I couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Damn, I scared Lao Tzu, it turned out to be a mud embryo." Lao Tan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded.

I took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, and I couldn't help but feel relieved. At this time, Lao Tan pointed to the coffin on the far left of the bottom floor and said, "See, that coffin collapsed, so I shook it just now." ”

When I looked up, I saw the same thing. Although I still felt that the vibration just now was a little strange, I didn't think about it again. At this time, the courage of the people also increased, and curiosity followed, and we both stepped forward and began to observe those things up close.

It is clear that those little dolls with hideous expressions, although very realistic, are all cast in ceramic. What makes me feel a little strange is, what do these porcelain dolls rely on to lie on the coffin? There's no sign of adhesion between them, and what's the point of doing it if my dad made it up?

I thought as I gently touched the porcelain doll in front of me with my hand. As soon as I touched it, I felt like ice on the tips of my fingers. I quickly took my hand back, and then turned my head to look at Lao Tan, who was lying under the coffin that had just been cracked, and wanted to use his mobile phone to take a picture of it.

"Are you crazy?" I dragged him up, "How can you just look at this kind of thing." ”

"It's okay." Lao Tan had an indifferent expression, "After all, they are all dead people, I was scared enough just now, now I want to see what the hell is here." ”

He was right, we were all scared just now, but after relieving, people seemed to have broken through the psychological bottom line, and when we looked around at the moment, the eerie feeling disappeared a lot.

I knew that I couldn't stop this kid, so I didn't pay attention to him, and I was going to lie down and go with him to see it. But when Lao Tan walked back to the coffin again, I saw a gray thing suddenly sticking out of the cracked opening of the coffin, and instantly grabbed Lao Tan's left foot.
