Chapter 323: The Murderous Mirror
Since the environment outside the Ten Thousand Bones Dry is not large, if I count from the Divine Stone Cave, I still have some scruples about the area under the Ten Thousand Bones Dry in my heart, maybe this mountain is the scope of the underground cemetery.
Therefore, the entrance to the ancient tomb that Ah Cai found at the beginning was not necessarily the place where we walked at the beginning, the place where we walked has collapsed, and if we go in again, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious.
If you want to enter the tomb again, you have to look for the entrance again, and with this in mind, I decided to continue up the tomb that I had begun to discover.
After searching all night, I still couldn't find any entrance, so I went around in place until it was light, and I saw a thick fog rising from a ravine in the distance.
And the fog comes out very intensively, which proves one thing, it should be the fog coming out of a cave, and the depth of this cave is not trivial.
I am quite sure of these simple knowledge, firstly, I know the mountain quite deeply, and secondly, I see the direction of the fog, which should be a place I have never been to before, so I can say that I did not know that there would be a cave there.
I quickened my pace, all the way down, halfway down the mountain, to the place where the mist was rising.
If you look closely, a huge cave is surrounded by green vegetation, and the entrance of the cave is inward, and it is all the way downhill.
Visually inspect the depth of the cave, and it seems that there is no bottom in sight.
I walked around the entrance of the cave a few times, first to see if there were any beast footprints and feces at the entrance of the cave, and after making sure that the cave was not inhabited by wild beasts, I prepared flint and pine oil sticks.
I turned around and found a soft rattan no less than a few tens of meters on the way here, and I tied the soft rattan tightly on a large tree the thickness of a person at the entrance of the cave, and then tied the other end of the soft rattan around my waist.
After lighting the pine oil stick in his hand, he slid down the downhill road in the cave little by little.
After all, it is a large cave, and the direction of the cave is downward, so all year round, whether it is a stone or a yellow mud ground, some thick green moss will grow in the cave, and if people step on it, the center of gravity under their feet will most likely be shifted.
I was very careful, and when the soft vine of dozens of meters had come to an end, I poked into the cave with the pine oil stick in my hand, and found that I was not more than a person high from the bottom of the cave.
So I let go of the soft vine around my waist and jumped down carefully.
When I looked at the cave again, the road ahead had become not too steep and very flat.
"It's called the patio here, it's so deep that you can't see the sky outside when you look up, and it curves all the way, like chicken intestines. I laughed to myself, "Well, this place will be called the chicken intestine patio from now on." ”
At this time, my mood was still very relaxed, but the next road made me scramble for a while.
From the time you walk on this flat surface, the height of the cave gets shorter and shorter, and from time to time you can touch naturally occurring stalactites, and you can hit your head into a big bag if you don't pay attention. And from time to time, there will be some strange insects flying around, and they will step on a puddle of mud under their feet.
My mood gradually decreased, and I couldn't help but wonder if I had come to the wrong place, this was not the passage to the Tomb of Music at all.
"Plop la-la!" a dozen bats grazed my ears and flew towards the entrance of the cave, apparently I was disturbing people's normal rest.
"What the hell is this place, it's disgusting, I didn't see it so hard when I came down. ”
Just when I was in an anxious mood, I felt my head hit something, I screamed in pain, I used a pine oil stick to shine, after a closer look, only to find that in front of me was really a flat boulder.
There was a gap in the bottom of the boulder that was the height of a man's calf, and I crouched down and looked inside, and it was so black that I couldn't see anything clearly.
I rubbed over the boulder and crouched inside, when suddenly the boulder fell with a loud bang.
I couldn't help but pat my chest to relieve my tension: "My God, if I hadn't come here, the little life of the boulder would have been explained." ”
Thinking of this, I looked back again, and from here I was still a cave with no end in sight, and when I shone it with firelight, it was pitch black, and the road I came to was blocked by this boulder, and I really had an inexplicable feeling.
"Do you want to trap Lao Tzu here?" I slowly got up, the center of gravity under my feet shifted, and a dog came to gnaw on it.
My feet softened, I must have stepped on something, and the firelight illuminated the situation behind me.
A dead man fell on the side of the boulder, and a thick layer of rotten flesh came out of the man's neck, which had turned black and stinky.
"Who is this, why are there people here?" I asked myself.
According to normal calculations, from the place where I came in, to the location in front of me, I didn't see that anyone had been there, but the person in front of me didn't seem to have any corruption, and there was only a wound on his neck.
Based on this alone, it can be judged that the person's original death was caused by the rupture of the major arteries and the drying of blood in a short period of time.
I gagged my mouth and nose, crouched down and looked up and down at the corpse, dressed lightly, with a very strange cloth bag in his arms, which contained some coins from the Warring States period.
"Another grave robber. I thought to myself, then clapped my hands, and as was the usual custom, I grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and sprinkled it on the man's body.
This action is the common sense that you should know if you know the feng shui of the tomb, after the person dies, enter the soil for peace, although these people are tomb robbers, it is not a pity to die, but after all, it is a person, help us sprinkle a handful of soil on our body, it is also considered to accumulate a good good.
I didn't go far after I got up, and because of the light of the pine stick in my hand, I noticed an even more surprising scene.
From the boulder to the place in front of me, there was a path, and on both sides of the path were no less than a dozen corpses, and each corpse had something in its hand that should have been found in the tomb.
As is customary, I sprinkled a handful of dirt on every corpse and kept going.
Turning the corner, a large space appeared, and in this small square, five or seven people sat together, and in the middle of them lay several large pockets, as if discussing something.
I got closer and noticed that these people had also become dried corpses, but suddenly I realized that something was wrong.
When I came in just now, the corpses at the door seemed to have been dead for a short time, probably less than a month, and the corpses in front of me had all been air-dried, and the outside of the body seemed to have undergone special treatment.
I got closer, took a closer look at the dried corpses, and according to calculations, I was looking at their dress, at least from the Warring States period.
"It's so strange, how are the two people different, those at the door, and these people in front of you. "I fell into deep thought, stood still and thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't come up with a reason.
I went back to the way I had come and examined the corpses one by one, and to my astonishment, almost all of them had died from a ruptured aortic in the neck, and that each corpse had ruptured in the same place.
"Several, I have no ill intentions, I came in purely to help others!" Speaking of this, I was a little self-deprecating, a tomb robber still said that he was so noble, but it was a bit excessive.
I laughed to myself, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to find out what the hell is going on with you." ”
I slowly opened the big pocket, took a closer look, and was startled.
"So much gold, silver, jewelry, and books?" picked up a book and glanced at it a few times, and it was written the location and plan of the military vehicle.
I picked up another book, and it was written about the infantry formation. Several books were opened one after another, and each one was written differently, but the main idea was to introduce the methods of marching and fighting.
"This is the Book of Music?" after thinking about it, it seemed a little unreliable.
Because there is no special military law to be found in these books, it seems to be the notes made by some soldier commanders and the like.
I looked at the dried corpses and said, "You deserve to have such a thing, don't you know that tomb robbery is the most detrimental to yin morality?"
I was just about to leave, but I felt a flash of fire in front of me.
"Who?," I asked immediately.
But no one answered, and I took a few steps closer to the front and found a fork in the road in front of me, with three passages on the left, the middle and the right.
On the wall at the crossing, there is a well-lit bronze mirror, which reflects the light of the fire in my hand, which seems to help me see the environment a little more clearly.
"Bronze mirror?" After I got close to the bronze mirror, I found that I was handsome in the mirror, which made me feel very good, and I kept making all kinds of movements in the bronze mirror.
But from the bronze mirror, I found that the dried corpses behind me suddenly changed, one corpse fell to the ground, and the other two corpses suddenly got up, grabbed something with both hands, and shook their hands at my side very quickly.
I immediately crouched down, and the bronze mirror was hit by two sharp throwing knives, and it hit the ground immediately.
"What's going on, the dried corpses?" I rubbed my eyes, and the dried corpses remained motionless.
I cautiously returned to the mirror and looked into it, and suddenly I saw a figure behind me, holding a sharp blade in his hand, which was already around my neck, and where the blade had been placed was exactly the same as that of the other dead.
My neck began to feel cold, and I crouched down and waved my hand with a punch, but the punch was empty, and when I turned around, there was nothing, and when I looked at the dried corpses, there was still no change.
