Nervous, I turned my head suddenly, but suddenly I saw a figure on the cliff five or six meters high behind me!
Because we were worried about being discovered, He Dasong was the only one who turned on the flashlight. I looked back, and naturally the light was too dim to make out the figure.
But in the darkness, I could see her rough outline clearly.
It was supposed to be a woman, a woman in a long dress. The body is small and exquisite, and it should be less than 160 tall by visual inspection, and it is very thin.
To my amazement, her eyes seemed to shine in the dark corridors, as if her eyes were naturally shining.
She looked at us coldly, as if she had a plan in mind to kill us.
My heart moved, and suddenly I realized that this strange woman (female ghost?) It's very likely that she was the one who killed the grave robber before, and now that she's eyeing us, she must be ready to attack us.
Is the human puppet also from her handiwork? Because the person who controlled the human puppet must be lurking near us, if not, how could she control the corpse and fight He Dasong?
Both General Night and Panda sensed that something was wrong with me, and Panda asked in a low voice, "Yang Ye, what are you looking at?" โ
I was stunned when I heard this, didn't the panda see it?
I whispered, "Isn't there a woman on the cliff there?" โ
General Night and Panda looked over at the same time, but the two of them shook their heads in unison: "No! โ
I felt a chill in my heart, because I saw it clearly, and even now, I could still see her traces, why did Panda and the Night General say they didn't see her?
I thought it was these two people who didn't have good night vision and therefore failed to capture the silhouette of the woman. Therefore, despite the Rouge Yaksha's resistance, I turned on the flashlight and glanced at the mountain wall.
However, at this glance, I was shocked.
I saw that there was no one in the position where there was a woman...... But it's not empty. Between the cliffs, there is a squatting bird, a bird with gorgeous feathers and a medium size!
While I was looking at this bird, this strange bird was also looking at me, and at this moment I suddenly noticed that this bird's eyes were huge, and to my shock, this bird's eyes actually had pupils and whites in them, which seemed to be a pair of human eyes!
"See? This bird's eyes! I was shocked, but at that moment, the bird seemed to disdain to look at me, flapped its wings, and disappeared into the empty alley.
"What eyes?" The Night General slowed down half a beat and waited for the bird to fly away before asking.
I hurriedly said, "This bird's eyes, these are human eyes at all!" โ
However, neither the Night General nor the Panda noticed this, and both shook their heads at the same time, neither of them grasping the point.
I let out a long sigh and looked in the direction where the strange bird had disappeared in the distance, and wondered in my heart.
Is it really just a bird? Why do I always feel that this bird's origin is a little unusual?
At this time, the Rouge Yaksha, who was walking in front, was a little impatient, and turned around and asked, "Xiao Yang, what are you doing?" Turn on the flashlight indiscriminately, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Chen Qingyi and them? โ
I quickly turned off the flashlight in my hand and apologized in a low voice.
There are not only lonely souls and wild ghosts in the tomb, but also enemies, and it is unclear where Chen Qingyi's team is at the moment, so our situation is quite passive.
According to the depiction on the structural drawing, the layout of this tomb is simple.
This mountain stream is the natural corridor in the ancient tomb, and on both sides of the road are the burial chambers. The tomb is three on the left and five on the right, with a total of 8 rooms. However, the key treasure, the Shen family's treasure jade belt, should not be in any tomb. Because at the end of this road, there is a small stone chamber, and the structural diagram shows that this is not a burial chamber, because the scale of the stone chamber is too small to accommodate the coffin and the remains.
Since the road is not straight, we can't see too far, so we can only take one step at a time and move forward cautiously.
After a few more steps, two bends, we finally entered the burial chamber area.
Artificially excavated burial chambers began to appear on the stone walls on both sides.
It can be seen that the mountain rock here is indeed hard and not suitable for artificial excavation, so it is conceivable how powerful the clan that built such a huge tomb in the first place was.
Looking around, the burial chamber is sheltered by stone doors carved with some kind of identical totem carved on them, and the image on this totem is unforgettable:
It seems to be some kind of totem that has evolved from the image of the heads of various creatures, the most notable of which is a pair of large horns. In addition to the horns, another feature of this totem is the shape of the flame, the horns and the flame, which seems to be the symbol of this totem.
"What kind of totem is this?" I whispered to the Night Shogun, who is well-informed, should know something about this strange pattern.
General Night glanced at it and muttered, "I think this is a bit like the totem of Emperor Yan in ancient times, in history, Emperor Yan was born with horns on his head, so his clan totem has horns. In addition, Emperor Yan is a descendant of the Suiren clan and wins the king with fire, so he is known as Emperor Yan, and there is fire in the totem, which is not surprising......"
"Emperor Yan......" I whispered the name. Although General Ye's analysis is reasonable, Emperor Yan seems to be too far away from this era. The ancient tomb in front of you doesn't look like an ancient mausoleum, and during the Yandi period, the people of the Yandi tribe were far from developing into this land. So could this ancient tomb be built by the descendants of Emperor Yan?
Rouge Yaksha seems to be impatient with our actions, and the most important thing for her now is to find the Shen family treasure.
Before we could continue the discussion, Rouge Yaksha whispered, "What's the point of someone's mausoleum?" Now we need to find the Shen family's treasure as soon as possible. Chen Qingyi's people are already ahead of us, and we don't have much time. โ
We had to give up on the research and move on.
At this time, I found that the stone doors of these tombs were all half-hidden, and the gaps left by the stone doors were just enough to accommodate a person to pass through. This was deliberately done by the builders of the previous mausoleum? Or was it opened by a subsequent tomb robber? No one knows, at least from the traces of the scene, we can't draw any conclusions.
Slowly moving forward, the mountain stream is finally coming to an end.
Because this part of the mountain stream is a curve that is crooked inward, the stone chambers on both sides will cause an asymmetrical distribution of three inner rooms and five outer rooms.
Basically, turning the corner in front of us, we can see the final destination. However, at this moment, Rouge Yaksha suddenly stopped.
I know that Rouge Yaksha is quite perceptive, she is ahead of her and always able to see things that we can't.
The Night General asked her if there was something unusual.
Rouge Yaksha nodded slightly, pointed towards the mountain stream around the corner in front of him, and whispered, "Look." โ
Following the guidance of the Rouge Yaksha, we saw the scene in front of us.
I saw that although the mountain stream was dark and deep, there was a faint wave of light...... This shows that there must be a light source of considerable scale in the position after turning the corner, and in this fully enclosed ancient tomb, the light source can only be set artificially.
This shows that Chen Qingyi's people have already mastered the stone chamber where the Shen family's treasure is located in advance, and they are likely to have taken action.
However, at this moment, I saw another important piece of information: two figures loomed in the mountain stream!
"Someone? Two? "I asked Rouge Yaksha.
She nodded and whispered to us that one of the two people was most likely the famous blind man.
Rouge Yaksha was very serious at this time, and she whispered that if there was really a blind man among these two people, then she and the panda would have to join forces for a while before there was a certain possibility of a tie with the blind man.
I was shocked in my heart, what kind of means is the Rouge Yaksha? And how great are pandas? These two people practiced to barely be able to tie with Blind Zhang? Don't you even have the slightest hope of winning?
But I still didn't question Rouge Naksha's judgment, she knew better than me the horrors of the blind man under Chen Qingyi's hands.
However, at this moment, the black charcoal head held by He Dasong suddenly whispered, listening to this voice, I realized that the situation was not good.
Sure enough, when I followed the prestige, I saw that there was another person at the corner of the mountain stream, with empty eyes, a face like ashes, and a dull and stiff expression looking at us......
