Chapter 389: The Body Is Gone

As soon as he saw a person sitting there, still blinking at the two people, Li Bojian collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and screamed in fright, although Chen Ziyang was also startled, but the experience of crawling in the tomb several times made him not lose his temper like Li Bojian.

Although he was also frightened, Chen Ziyang then appeared, as if the person sitting on the ground was motionless. Grabbing the headlamp thrown down by Li Bojian, Chen Ziyang shone it again, the person he was sitting on now should also be a dry corpse, but he was sitting there when he died, although so many years have passed, this dry corpse has always maintained a sitting posture.

Because of the relationship between vomiting before, and suddenly being frightened like this, even now Li Bojian is just a sitting corpse, but she is still paralyzed there and can't get up, and the continuous physical exertion makes Li Bojian extremely weak.

Under Li Bojian's nod, Chen Ziyang didn't care about the woman, but carefully walked in front of the sitting corpse and looked at it carefully.

The corpse was still wearing a monk's robe, and the head of the corpse was headless, and there were several looming ring scars on it, so it seems that this corpse was also a monk before his death. And this sitting corpse also has a long string of Buddhist beads around its neck.

Then Chen Ziyang looked at the eyes of the corpse, the eyes of this corpse were very weird, black and bright, no wonder when the headlamp light came over, the two of them felt that the corpse was blinking at them, it turned out that this pair of eyeballs was doing tricks.

When he got closer, Chen Ziyang realized that the two eyeballs of this corpse did not seem to be human eyes. Rather, it is two black and bright transparent stones, and depending on the material, some of them look like the kind of black crystals formed during the eruption of a volcano, which is commonly known as volcanic glass.

It is not known whether the monk was blind when he was alive and used these two pieces of volcanic glass as a false eyeball, or if he was used as a hidden weapon to get into the eye when the monk died.

Knowing that this was a false alarm, Chen Ziyang let out a sigh of relief, and then he carefully examined the corpse. Compared to the previous dried corpse, the color of this corpse is more black, and there are many folds on the corpse, and it looks like this person's corpse is made of a lot of dry cow dung, and the horizontal folds on the corpse are stacked on top of each other, as if it is a mille-feuille.

Chen Ziyang estimated that this was because the owner of this corpse was very old before he became a dry corpse, and it seemed that this monk must be quite old, so his skin was originally loose, and after he died here, he became a dry corpse, and these loose skins were tightly wrinkled together, so they became what they are now.

Standing in front of this corpse, Chen Ziyang used the light of the headlamp to shine around, with the corpse of this old man as the center, there were several pairs of people who caught and killed each other around him, and it seemed that this old man should be the center of the previous battle circle. At the end of the headlamp, there seemed to be two more skeletons hanging in the air. There were still a few piles of black ash around the old man, and I don't know what it was made of.

From one of the piles of black ashes, he pinched out some black powder, Chen Ziyang looked at it, rubbed it with his fingers, and put it under his nose to smell it, he actually felt that these black ashes seemed to be black ashes.

Picked up a wooden board and pulled it left and right in this pile of black ash a few times, Chen Ziyang now this pile of black ash is very symmetrical, all black powder, and there are no small pieces of broken bones or anything like that.

The ashes are generally white, and after the human bones are burned into ashes, there will always be large or small pieces left, which will not be so evenly proportioned. But his intuition told Chen Ziyang that these black ashes were not simple, but now was not the time to study these things, so he groped up and down on the corpse of this old man.

While touching, Chen Ziyang was wondering, there were two unreasonable things about the appearance of the old monk's body here. The first one, he is such an old person, why should he follow the other people to come here to fight.

The people who go down to the tomb are usually young and strong, and even if there are some experienced old people, they will not be too old, otherwise it is very likely that they will not be able to get out after entering the tomb and encountering some evil things. Even if this old monk was the commander of this operation, then he should have been in command around him, not in the middle of the entire warband.

The second unreasonable place is the identity of this old man. How could a monk run into a tomb and rob it? And just now there was a corpse dressed as a monk, it is estimated that he came with this old man, and the two of them may be monks in the same temple, so what is the purpose of these two monks coming here?

After rummaging through the corpse for a while, Chen Ziyang let out a long sigh, these people who entered here had almost nothing in their pockets except for the weapons they carried, Chen Ziyang found nothing at all except for a few magic weapons in the old man's pocket, and these magic weapons were only commonly used in Buddhism, and they couldn't give him any clues.

Seeing that Chen Ziyang had been fiddling in front for a long time, and the sitting corpse did not move, Li Bojian dared to walk over cautiously, but she never dared to look at the eyes of this corpse. The light of the headlamp in Chen Ziyang's hand was reflected on the two black volcanic glasses, and it would glow slightly white, looking as if this old man was blinking, no matter how you look at it, it is a little scary.

After looking around the front and back of the corpse for a long time, Chen Ziyang did not have any scars on the appearance of the corpse. The corpse of this old monk was not injured at all, except for some peculiar eyes, and it is not known how he died.

Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to turn the old monk's body over and carefully examine his legs and buttocks, but after thinking about it, Chen Ziyang dismissed this idea again. Judging from the sitting posture of this old monk, this should be a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao, and his Dharma meditation is a habit that has been cultivated after decades of hard work. It is very inhumane to desecrate the body of such a high monk, and it may also damage his own longevity, so this matter is still not good.

The current Chen Ziyang is a big one, and he can't understand the cause and effect of the whole thing even if he wants to break his head. At this moment, there was a clicking sound from a distance, although the sound was very slight, but in this silent dark space, this sound still came into Chen Ziyang's ears.

The sound sounded like the sound of two planks hitting each other lightly, or the sound of someone stepping on one of the planks while walking in the distance. Chen Ziyang became vigilant in an instant, he quickly stretched out his left hand and blocked Li Bojian's chest, and at the same time raised the Xuanming Ancient Sword to block his chest.

After pricking up his ears and listening for a few seconds, Chen Ziyang did not hear a similar sound again. But he turned his head to look at Li Bojian beside him, and from Li Bojian's nervous expression, Chen Ziyang could see that it was not his illusion just now, and Li Bojian should have heard the sound just now.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Chen Ziyang quickly turned off the light of the headlamp in his hand, hid himself and Li Bojian in the dark, and at the same time tightly hugged Li Bojian's head with his left hand, and pressed his left hand on her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.

Chen Ziyang put his arm around Li Bojian and cautiously moved a few steps to the side, avoiding the location where the original two people were. Whether it's a person making a noise in the distance, or something else, it's likely that the two of you have just been targeted, so it's better not to stay where you are at this time.

In this way, after the two of them moved a few meters away, they waited there quietly, waiting for the next thing to unfold, to see if something would pounce on the place where the two people were standing just now. However, the predator hidden in the darkness was obviously much more patient than these two people, and the entire dark space was now extremely silent, and Chen Ziyang could only faintly hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

After waiting for a long time, Chen Ziyang finally couldn't help it, in fact, the reason why he decided to do it first was because of Li Bojian beside him. I don't know if Li Bojian was afraid or because the vomiting just now consumed too much physical strength, Chen Ziyang felt that Li Bojian, who was holding him, trembled slightly, and it seemed that he couldn't hold on for long.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang suddenly turned on the light and shone in the direction of the sound just now. After seeing nothing, he quickly shone around with the light, but still didn't see anything in the area around the two of them.

The sound just now was definitely not an illusion between the two people, after Chen Ziyang shone around with the light of his headlamp, although he didn't see anything alive, he seemed to feel that something was not right. After seeing a few piles of black ashes on the ground, Chen Ziyang realized that something was wrong with him, the body of the old monk had disappeared!

Just a few meters away from the two people, in the center of a pile of ashes, the body of the old monk who was sitting there had disappeared without a trace. Cold sweat oozed from Chen Ziyang's forehead in an instant, this is really strange, there was no sound just now, the two of them didn't hear any sound at all, why did this corpse disappear? Could it be that this old monk didn't die at all, he just stood up and left by himself?

Walking to the place where the old monk's body was placed just now, Chen Ziyang saw that there was a faint trail of drag on the ground, and a footprint was left on a pile of black ash in it. This footprint looks like it was stepped on by a barefoot person, but this person's footprints seem to be smaller than a normal person's, and it looks like a child's footprint.

In addition to the obvious footprints in the black and gray area, there were several black footprints walking into the distance, but these footprints were lighter than the other, and the color was lighter than the other, and then the footprints disappeared.

Chen Ziyang estimated that this was left behind by the person who carried the old monk's body after stepping on the black ashes, and then walking into the distance, and the black ashes were all stuck to the ground as the person walked, causing the color of the footprints to become lighter and lighter until they disappeared.

"Tomb robber, I'm a little scared, let's go, don't go any further." Seeing these strange traces on the ground, and recalling what happened just now, the corpse was taken away without a sound, and the things here are too evil, Li Bojian really can't control it.

"Don't be afraid, we're already trapped here, even if we want to leave, we have to find the exit, but do you know where the exit is? If you look at these footprints on the ground, I guess they were left by a living person, since someone can enter here, then follow these footprints, maybe you can find this person, or find the exit out, we still have to go forward, you hold on a little longer. ”

Although he said this, Chen Ziyang's heart also had no bottom, what could he live in this dark space? Definitely won't be people! Even if you are a human being, you must be a crazy person, not a normal person. It's just that Chen Ziyang has no way to tell Li Bojian the truth about all this. Now is the time to encourage her, not to scare her into limping her feet and slumping here.

After making up his mind, Chen Ziyang took Li Bojian's hand and walked in the direction of this series of footprints, Li Bojian's hand turned cold again, Chen Ziyang, who was holding her hand, felt that his hands were a little cold, and it seemed that this woman had been scared to death.

When a person is frightened, the blood in the body will instinctively flow to the person's legs, which will cause the person's hands to be cold, and the purpose of the blood flowing to the legs is to facilitate the person's escape, which is the instinctive reaction of the person when he is afraid and fearful, and it is a person who has no way to control it.

After walking for a while, in addition to seeing more skeletons made of human jerky hanging in the air, the traces of human beings around them gradually decreased, whether it was the corpses on the ground or the broken wooden planks on the ground, all became sparse.

At this time, the headlamp light in Chen Ziyang's hand suddenly flashed violently a few times, Chen Ziyang knew that this was a sign that the battery was about to run out, from the two people falling into this dark space, it was this headlamp that had been used, the battery power of the headlamp was originally low, coupled with long-term continuous use, this battery finally couldn't hold on.

Just when Chen Ziyang was thinking about how long the battery could last, the light of the headlamp flickered a few times again, completely extinguished, and the surroundings returned to pitch black again. Another headlamp battery was put into the backpack by himself, but it was so dark that he couldn't touch it for a while, so Chen Ziyang touched his flashlight in the backpack and lit the flashlight.

The moment the flashlight came on, Chen Ziyang saw a pitch-black face appear in front of him.

I also wanted to give some feedback to the friends who subscribed to the password, although the money is not much, but it is a meaning, but I studied for a long time and did not understand how the password red envelope is, or forget it, today's red envelope of a recommended ticket, continue to study tomorrow.
