Chapter Seventy-Six: The Burial Pit
After I pressed the tofu, I didn't care about anything, grabbed him by the collar, raised my hand and slapped him.
At this time, Feng Ghost also chased after him, it is estimated that Tofu and I are now covered in rotten flesh and crawling with insects, and the situation is disgusting enough, he looked disgusted, and did not come over to help. It is estimated that this slap stunned the tofu, but he didn't react, and I stood up with my collar on it. I was also shocked by his abnormal behavior just now, and now I subdued Tofu, and my heart was relieved, and I immediately found out that he was wrong.
Tofu's eyes were straight, the corners of his mouth were bleeding from my slap, and his black eyes stared at the entrance of the cave without blinking, as if he was fascinated by something.
I couldn't help but think of the sound that came from the cave just now, and my heart suddenly shuddered, and I raised my hand to cover Tofu's eyes, and leaned into his ear and shouted. In the past, there was a saying that if you were fascinated by some mountain spirit and ghost, as long as you haven't lost your soul, then covering your eyes and shouting the other person's name in your ear can make you sober up.
I didn't expect it to be really spiritual, and after shouting, I saw that Tofu was full of excitement, as if he was frightened, he jumped up violently and shouted: "Scared me to death, scared me to death." Looking at his rolling eyes again, he has really come to his senses, and it seems that many of the folk methods are not groundless.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked urgently, "What happened to you kid just now?" ”
Tofu's expression was a little ugly, he took a step back, unusually, ignoring the minced meat attached to his body, but stared at the inside of the cave, and said, "There's something in here, I can't tell what it feels like...... I wasn't controlled at all, I just wanted to run inside. It's a scary feeling, don't you feel it? As he spoke, he looked at me and Feng Ghost with a somewhat frightened expression.
Feng Ghost and I glanced at each other and shook our heads, a little unable to understand Tofu's words.
His face turned pale, and he didn't look like he was lying.
I couldn't help but wonder, what was he afraid of?
I don't know what this strange octagonal cave in front of me is for, the mouth of the cave is full of corpses, piled up very high, and the corpses are full of dripping black water. I couldn't help but think: Could it be that all these corpses outside floated out of this cave after the water rose?
Could it be that behind this cave is actually a burial pit?
In the past, when the living were buried, the corpse had a specific location after death, and the body was not directly thrown in the tomb, and it was placed wherever it wanted.
Depending on the structure of the burial chamber, the orientation of the burial pit is also different. Most of the people who were buried were slaves or people of low status, and in ancient times, the left was honored and the right was humble, so the most common burial pit was on the right side of the tomb. If the cave in front of us is really a burial pit, then the left side of it may be the burial chamber we are looking for.
As soon as I said my thoughts, Feng Ghost nodded slightly, and said, "The real good things are all placed in the coffin, we have to find the main burial chamber where the coffin is placed, so that we can get the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone." Those ghost shadows, the eight achievements came out of the burial cave of Guò, Wei Nanjing, they may also be in it, it seems that we have to go in. ”
When Tofu heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he said, "No, I won't go, and I won't die." "I'm a little confused for a while, this kid Tofu is cowardly, but he's not a person who can't look at the shape, and he will definitely not drop the chain at such a time, what's wrong now?
Without waiting for me to ask, Tofu seemed to know what I was thinking, and said in a dumb voice: "You don't understand this feeling, I can't move forward." ”
Feng Ghost was a little impatient, and said: "Manly man, don't be slow to do things, if you don't dare to go in, just stay outside." ”
I knew that something must be wrong with Tofu, he was usually timid and timid, but when it came to a critical moment, he was absolutely unambiguous. At that time, in the civil tomb, if it weren't for Tofu picking up a probe shovel and patting the head of the corpse, I don't know what would have happened. Why is he so afraid at this time?
What exactly is the feeling he is talking about? Why can't I feel it with Feng Ghost Hand?
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but think of the curse again, and my heart sank, and I said: Could it be that this is some kind of hint? Like that pillar of incense, an ominous sign? These thoughts rolled around in my heart, and I already had a plan, so I took off the peach wood beads in my hand, handed them to the tofu, and said, "Put them on." ”
Tofu was taken aback and said, "Lao Chen, this is what your grandfather gave you, your usual treasure is amazing, no, I can't ask for it." ”
I said, "Take it, this thing saved my life in the Echo River, and I hope it can save you too." "That sense of ominousness is getting stronger and stronger, and I have a strong feeling that something is likely to happen to Tofu. Could it be that the curse is at work again? Did grandpa also feel threatened by the people around him, so he took grandma to the countryside?
When I handed the things to Tofu, I felt a little confident and said, "If you really don't dare to go in, just wait outside." With that, I turned my head and was about to beckon Ghost Feng to enter the cave together, but when I looked at the cave again, my heart suddenly felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and a sharp throbbing pain arose, and from the depths of my heart, an indescribable fear rose.
I'm not a timid person, but the fear is hard to put into words.
The corpses on the periphery of the cave were covered in a layer of golden yellow under the powerful pillars of the searchlight above us, dripping with liquid flowing freely. I used to feel worried, but I didn't feel the way I do now. In my eyes, the corpses changed in an instant, no longer a pile of rotten meat, but as if they could get up at any moment.
In an instant, I understood why Tofu was so abnormal just now, inside the cave, there seemed to be a strange power, and after I picked off the peach beads, that power was transferred from Tofu to me. The first time I saw it, I was covered with fear in my heart, and I didn't even know what I was afraid of.
I'm pretty sure that this feeling didn't exist just now, could it really be related to the hand beads? Could it be that there is really something evil in this cave? There were no evil ward-off objects on the tofu before, so it was affected?
Tofu didn't notice something wrong with me, he took a deep breath and said, "Although I can't do it, but there is strength in numbers, and I can't let you take risks alone." Feng Ghost glanced at the two of us, probably thinking that me and Tofu were a little in the way, so he went into the cave by himself, Tofu glanced at me, and said, "That feeling seems to have disappeared again." Maybe it's really because I'm too timid...... Let's go, we can't let the old boy surnamed Feng see the joke. With that, Tofu followed him into the cave.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in my heart: Now you are not afraid, but I am afraid to death.
The kind of fear that welled up from the depths of my heart was something I couldn't control at all. Seeing that Tofu's body had already submerged in the cave, my face was almost covered in cold sweat. In addition to fear, I also have a feeling of not admitting defeat in my heart, very unwilling to be manipulated by that sense of fear, cheering myself up in my heart, thinking that I must find out the thing that hides in the dark and makes trouble, otherwise I will really pinch myself as a soft persimmon.
Thinking like this, I resisted my fear, followed behind Tofu, and the three of them entered the cave.
It was not so much about walking in as it was about climbing in, because the broken corpses at the entrance of the cave were piled up half a meter high. People walk on it, one foot down, some corpses are relatively soft, you can step directly into the cavity, bursting out a pool of yellow-green liquid, people walk unsteadily on it, use their hands and feet together, the touch of stroking the wet corpse, not to mention how disgusting.
The cave was not long, and the three of us reached the end of the cave not long after, and sure enough, we saw a large rectangular pit.
The length of the pit, about twenty meters away, and the depth was immeasurable, and the pit was full of wet corpses that seemed to have fermented, some of them with green hairs like mold, and the light shone through them, and the corpses, some with empty mouths, some with twisted limbs, made people tremble, and the smell was so smoky that one almost wanted to faint.
That's right, that terrifying aura came from this burial pit.
PS: I got up early today, woo, there are a lot of things to do, but when I saw everyone's various speeches, my mood suddenly soared~~~ Hmm, what do you think the protagonist is?
