We walked a little further, and a flight of steps appeared in front of the passage. I shone a flashlight on the steps and found that they were made of wood, and the whole step was neatly made, except that all the wood had turned dark brown. A thick layer of dust fell on the steps, which contrasted sharply with the color of the wood, and it was clear that this section of stairs should have been untread for quite some years.

I was a little curious, judging from the fact that the sealing stone at the entrance of the cave had been opened, someone must have been here in the past few years, but strangely enough, there was no trace left on these steps.

I was looking down and thinking, and I didn't notice that Lantern Xiao had already stepped on it. I looked up and realized. I don't know if the person who came here before was the second uncle, but no matter who it was, he came in and didn't touch these steps, there must be a reason!

I hurriedly opened my mouth to stop Lantern Xiao, "Be careful, come down quickly!" ”

Lantern Xiao didn't understand the reason, turned her head and asked unhurriedly, "Huh?" Why? I look at ......" Lantern Festival hadn't finished speaking, only to hear a click, I immediately stood up and pulled him, but it was too late. This section of stairs "boomed" and all collapsed.

The Lantern Festival was wrapped in it, and before he could even say "oops", the broken wooden blocks fell down together.

I hurried to the side and raised my flashlight to shine it downward. But the shattered steps below that were fallen, as well as the dust smashed by the Lantern Festival, were flying. In addition, I don't have enough flashlight, so I can't see the situation at all.

The situation in this place is unknown, and I didn't dare to shout loudly, so I could only anxiously lower my voice, "Lantern Festival!" Lantern Festival! Are you okay! ”

Maybe the sound is too quiet, and there is no response below. I was very uneasy, and when I looked around, I suddenly saw some scattered pieces of wood. I had an idea, I thought of a solution, picked up a piece casually, and pulled out the lighter in my bag. Don't look at the wood at this time, it's rotten, but it's still quite flammable. Soon a flame rose from the wooden block.

I reached out and threw it down the stairs, and the flames flicked a red tail and fell straight down, but fortunately it wasn't too deep underneath, almost seven or eight meters high. The burning sticks of wood fell to the ground, splashing a spark, and by the light of the moment, I seemed to see a humanoid thing lying on the ground.

I lit one again and threw it down, but this time I didn't see sparks splashing around, but I let out an exclamation, "Oh, don't throw it, you didn't fall to death, you burned it too!" ”

As soon as I heard the voice of Lantern Festival, I quickly asked, "Lantern Festival, what's next?" Are you okay? ”

Lantern Xiao's voice came again, "I'm fine, I lost my flashlight, and I can't see the situation here." ”

I said to Lantern Xiao: "Then you stay where you are and don't move, I will find a way to go down." "Now the situation below is completely unclear, the Lantern Festival fell and was lucky, if I jumped rashly, I might not be safe and sound, so I'd better find another way.

I began to look to both sides from where the Lantern Festival had fallen, and soon I found a rattan growing from a crack in the stone not too far from us on the right. I pulled it with my hand and found that it was still very strong, but due to the high moisture, the rattan became a little sticky and seemed to have a layer of mucus.

But at this time, I couldn't take much care of it, so I bit the flashlight in my mouth, grabbed the rattan with both hands and slid down. But as soon as my feet hung down, I immediately regretted it, I didn't expect these wet rattans to slip like this, plus one of my hands was still injured, and it hurt my heart when I grabbed it hard.

I could barely control my body when I grabbed the rattan, and the whole person slid down at a great speed. I was amazed by the fact that this kind of speed drop is not much different from a free fall. At this time, I subconsciously exerted my hands, but the severe pain that followed made me immediately let go of my left hand.

Fortunately, this time my speed was reduced sharply, and at this time, my feet just found a foothold. I held the rope with one hand, and I managed to hold my shape.

I suddenly realized that my feet were not on the ground, I didn't know what I was stepping on, but I felt that this thing was not very stable, and the slightest movement of my feet caused a reaction from below. This made my heart instantly rise to my throat, this can't be a living thing, right? Thinking of this, I suddenly felt my lower body stiffen.

At this time, I was standing on such an unknown object, and I did not dare to move my feet. And my hands grabbed the extremely slippery rattan and didn't dare to let go, and the whole scene was extremely embarrassing for a while. I stabilized a little, carefully freed one hand, took the flashlight from my mouth, and slowly turned the flashlight downward.

And at the moment when I lowered my head, I only heard a "bang", and I suddenly felt the air under my feet, and I fell down all of a sudden.

I felt like I had fallen into a pile of broken logs, and my whole body was in pain. Especially around my waist, there seems to be a big hard thing right on top of my waist. I frowned in pain, reached out and took out a very hard round thing from under my body, I touched the flashlight and looked at it, and I was immediately startled, it turned out to be a skull head!

I took it off and threw it aside, and when I turned my head to look at the side, my scalp was numb, and I saw half a man's chest, and a human foot under my leg, and a human hand standing on my face. I jumped up like an electric shock, got goosebumps all over my body, and screamed uncontrollably, "Ah! Yes! ”

Not far away, Lantern Xiao heard my voice and immediately shouted, "Zhuo Ran, is it you?" What happened to you? ”

I gasped for breath and looked nervously at the dead body on the ground that had been crushed by me, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to overwhelm a dead person, and I'm startled when I don't think about it." I bowed to the broken corpse, "Don't blame, don't blame, we are really unintentional, there is something offensive, please forgive me, I wish you an early ascension!" ”

"Zhuo Ran, who are you talking to?" Lantern Xiao's voice came again, "You just said that you also have dead people?" ”

"Yes," as soon as I heard that Lantern Xiao's words were wrong, I quickly asked, "What do you mean I have this, do you have that too?" With that, I stood up. I raised the flashlight and shone it around, and immediately froze, there were many coffins around me, they were neatly scattered around, I didn't know how many coffins there were, because I could vaguely see that there should be many more outside the aperture of the flashlight.

At this time, I heard Lantern Xiao say: "I touched something, it seems to be a coffin, is this really an ancient tomb, why did a coffin appear before I reached the tomb?" I don't have a flashlight and I can't see clearly. ”

I couldn't answer Lantern Xiao's question, so I said to Lantern Xiao: "You stay where you are and don't move, I'll go to you now." ”

Lantern Xiao replied, "Okay, I'm on your left, I can see your flashlight." ”

I followed the sound of Lantern Festival and quickly found him. There were a lot of broken wooden bars scattered where Lantern Xiao was standing, these were the steps that had collapsed just now, and the direction he was facing was, just as he had just said, there was indeed a coffin there.

I walked up to him, shone a flashlight on him, and told him that there was more than one such coffin.

Lantern Xiao was also shocked and grew her mouth, "This, what kind of place is this?" How can there be so many coffins, is it an ancient cemetery? ”

I nodded, "Looks like no one has been to this place for quite some time. ”

Lan Xiao looked at the coffin in front of him, "Who put these coffins here?" ”

I shook my head, and then when I turned my head, I saw that Lantern Xiao was looking at me, and I immediately understood what he meant, "You don't want to open the coffin, do you?" ”

Lantern Xiao smiled, "Only by opening the coffin can we figure out the situation here." ”

"This," I was a little hesitant, and the point was that we didn't know what was going on in the coffin.

When Lantern Xiao saw my appearance, he waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's okay, didn't you overwhelm a dead man just now?" If there was a problem here, something would have happened at the time, and it would have been until now. ”

I thought about it, but this is also true, so I agreed with Lantern Xiao's statement. So the two of us tried to lift the lid of the coffin. But I didn't expect this coffin to be so rotten that the two of us lifted it hard, and we directly cut off the four corners of the coffin lid.

We both froze for a moment, then simply broke the coffin with our hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is broken, we tear off the coffin lid piece by piece like peeling an egg. The inside of the coffin was finally revealed.

Inside the coffin lay a shriveled corpse, presumably a male corpse, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, and seemingly wearing a hat on its head, which appeared to be decorated with feathers.

And when we saw the face of the corpse, we found something very strange, because there was a thin piece of something like a piece on each of the corpse's eyes.

This made us very strange, I looked at Lantern Xiao and looked at each other, "Why does the burial cover the human eye?" ”

"I can't figure it out," I began, "I've heard that in ancient times, people would seal the eyes, mouth, nose and mouth of the most heinous people when they were buried, in order to prevent his soul from leaving his body and preventing him from being reborn. But," I looked carefully at the dried corpse in the coffin in front of me, "but the corpse in front of me was obviously not like that. ”

We watched like this for a while, but neither of us could see any doorway, and suddenly Lantern Xiao reached out and wanted to get the two thin slices above the corpse's eyes.
