Chapter Seventy-Two: A Tragic Death
Gu Wenmin put the thing in the palm of his hand, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to it.
It was an irregular sheet the size of a fingernail, like some kind of wreckage, and it was pitch black, and I couldn't tell what it was. I twisted it up and pinched it in my hand, this charred black color suddenly made me react, this is a fragment of a mask!
Could it be that the mask that disappeared in the corner was taken by this person?
It stands to reason that after a person dies, if the corpse has nothing to support, it is impossible to maintain a straight and upright shape, but the person in front of him, without any support, just stands in front of us, covered in white powder, reminds me of the most primitive embalming technology in ancient times, salt corpse.
Gu Wenmin said softly: "The powder on this seems to be salt. ”
Tofu said: "It looks a little similar, why don't you taste it, see if it's salty or not." I said, "That's a good idea, you can try it." ”
Tofu scratched his head and said, "Aren't I also trying to figure out a way, but we've been in for so long, and we haven't seen any ghosts, organs, eighty percent of them are Old Man Chen, and they have already wiped out the thunder for us, I don't think we need to be so careful." "The idea of tofu is good, but I'm different from him, he likes to think about the good in everything, and I tend to prepare for the worst first. The man trapped in the jade, and the salt-like corpse in front of me, couldn't reassure me in that way.
So far, we are confused, we have found nothing, and it is not a matter of standing here like this, and everyone has no choice but to bypass this strange salt corpse and move forward. At the top of this stone door, there are obvious traces of the mechanism, but it is a one-time trigger mechanism, and after being triggered by Grandpa and others, this mechanism has no threat to us.
Behind the stone gate is also a tomb road without tomb bricks, which is very strange in the underground palace structure, the tomb road is rammed very tightly, much narrower than the first tomb road before, everyone lined up in a column to go forward, because our drinking water has been exhausted, this is destined to be unable to stay underground for a long time, so they are in a hurry.
We were rushing forward, but we didn't want to be long, and the footsteps behind me suddenly stopped, turned his head sharply, and stared at the tofu at the back. Tofu looked a little dazed, touched his face, and said blankly: "Why did you suddenly look at me, and finally found out that I was more handsome than you?" ”
I was walking in front, but when I heard this, I turned around, and I also wondered, and when I looked at Zhen Rui's gaze, my heart suddenly chuckled, not because of tofu, but because of tofu, there was no one behind him.
Our walking order is like this, I am in the front, Zhen Rui is behind me, Zhong Gong is third, Gu Wenmin is fourth, and Tofu is fifth. This young man was born in the Wang clan, and he has a momentum that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is easy to be impulsive, so he was left behind by Zhen Rui, but at this moment, there is no one behind Tofu.
Zhen Rui's calmness was broken, and he immediately walked back quickly, his eyes looked around, grabbed the collar of tofu, and shouted: "What about people! Being yelled at by the collar for no reason, no one felt uncomfortable, this discomfort, with the character of tofu will not hide, he immediately said: "Fuck you, I'm not the babysitter of the Chihuahua, Lao Tzu's eyes don't grow on him, the devil knows where he went!" ”
Zhen Rui snorted coldly, let go of his hand and walked straight to the section of the road, it seemed that he was going to find Zhen Ji, Zhong Gong naturally followed closely, and for a while, only me, Gu Wenmin and Tofu were left in the same place. Tofu straightened out the dirty T-shirt on his body, in the end, he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and after greeting the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, he said: "Eighty percent of the Chihuahuas are in distress, let's not be idle, hurry up and find someone!" ”
Immediately afterwards, a group of six of us went back and forth several times in this narrow cemetery. The most likely reason why a large living person cannot evaporate suddenly may be that there are organs in the tomb, but there are no tomb bricks in this tomb, and it is difficult to constitute the conditions for setting up organs in terms of the erection of organs. After searching the tombway, we moved our gaze to the previous stone chamber...... Could it be that the Chihuahua went back through the tomb gate?
What's going on?
For now, everyone could only wrap their skin again, cover their eyes through the poison powder belt, and rush back to the tomb quickly. In the dark tomb, the masks on the walls were still staring at us with a strange smile, and at this moment, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
The piece of jade in the center of the tomb, the person in the jade actually disappeared, and was replaced by another person.
It was Zhen Ji, although he was not covered in **, but he was wearing a charred black mask on his face, and in a struggling posture, he was wrapped in jade. I just felt my scalp tingle, and my heart was like what the hell is this, how can this be? Staring at the pitch-black mask on Zhen Ji's face, and then thinking of the mask fragments in the brain of the dead corpse behind the stone gate, I suddenly had a thought: Could it be that these masks are harming people?
But there was no time for us to think too much about it now, and he was trapped in the jade, his expression distorted, and he seemed to want to crawl out in pain, but he had also turned into something like amber like the previous one. Tofu's eyes were red, and he immediately picked up the shovel and said, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and save people!" ”
Clear-sighted people understand that it is too late to save people, but at this time, no one wants to give up. We took out our tools and began to excavate this strange piece of jade. Soon we found that its texture is softer than jade, the texture of jade is more brittle and easy to break, but its texture is more like a high-concentration gel, it feels like jade, but it has a subtle elasticity when chiseled.
It took us a lot of time, and by the time we had completely halved it with a chisel, the Chihuahua's body was finally exposed. Zhen Rui kept a calm face and stretched out his hands to pull the person out, however, at this moment, a scalp-tingling scene appeared. Zhen Ji was pulled out, but what was pulled out was only an empty human skin!
The human skin was pulled out, and without the jade wrapping, it completely collapsed, and finally only clothes remained.
The crowd stood in front of this human skin, and no one could say a word. A moment later, I heard a muffled grunt in Ori's throat, as if to be furious, but he held it back, so that it only made a strange sound that didn't make sense. My mind is completely out of order. For Zhen Ji, my image is bold, it is estimated that he was born in a wealthy family, and he has not encountered many difficult things, so he has the unique flamboyance of young people, and this flamboyance has been magnified several times in him.
But now, this young man has transformed from a living person into a skin, and even in the end, even that skin is wrapped under his clothes and disappears. At this moment, I even suspected that I was dreaming, the dark tomb, the silence of a group of people, the stiff and unchanging posture, like a dark dream.
Immediately afterwards, the first to speak was tofu, he first pinched his leg hard, then hissed in pain, and then his eyes turned red, and he muttered, "I must be dreaming." ”
Gu Da Mei squatted beside me, her lips slightly open, unable to say a word, and after a while, her dark eyes looked at me, and the horror inside was difficult to hide.
Even if I didn't want to believe the truth in front of me, it wasn't a dream after all, and after a while, everyone had to accept this fact, and I felt that my legs were a little weak, so I simply sat on the ground with my ass on my head, and my mind was full of chaos. Why did Zhen Ji become like this? From the time he disappeared to the present, it was no more than half an hour, and he didn't make a sound at all, just silently......
The charred mask also rolled down with Gollum, and it rolled right at my feet. Zhen Rui's expression was very cold, the disfigured half of his face was even more terrifying, and the remaining half of his handsome face also twitched slightly, I could see that he was trying his best to endure his grief and anger, the mask fell at my feet, and Tofu stepped on it angrily, tearing the mask apart.
Suddenly, Gu Wenmin was the first to speak, she took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and said, "Here...... There is an unknown danger, what can we do? ”
Zhen Rui raised his head, stared at the 'jade' that was split into several pieces in front of him, and slowly spit out two words: "Revenge." "To whom do you take revenge? Something that killed Jiji? We don't even know what that thing is, if it's just the 'jade' in front of us, then it has been torn apart by us, or maybe, it's to seek revenge from the owner of the tomb? Once you've found it, drag it out and whip it?
I forced myself to calm down and said, "Who do you think the owner of the tomb will be?" ”
Tofu said: "Who knows." After a pause, he blinked a few times, wiped his moist eyes twice, gritted his teeth and said: "Outside this tomb is a group burial pit, but this ancient tomb has been repaired alone, so the owner of the tomb must be the most noble person in the Zimu Kingdom." ”
Gu Wenmin immediately said, "Earth Ghost King? ”
Tofu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think it's something that killed Jiji...... It should have come out from behind that. His eyes looked at the tomb where the salt corpse stood, the stone door opened slightly, and the salt corpse stood at the door with that strange smile, staring at us, and above the stone door, the eight blood characters were clearly visible.
Could it be that we opened the stone gate and released evil ghosts, so that Zhen Ji had this calamity?
I feel more regret and fear for the death of Ji Ji, regret this fresh life, and fear the enemy that we can't see.
And Zhen Rui lost his cool a little, his brother died tragically in front of his eyes, whether it was out of love or other considerations, the blow he received was the most severe of all. He had always thought twice, but at this moment, he got up suddenly, his eyes turned between the mask on the wall and the salt corpse, and then he looked at the broken jade ball in front of him, and on his strange face, he showed an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or what, which looked extremely cold, and then he said, "Bomb." ”
