Chapter 043: The Burial Pit

Legend has it that every 500 years, the gluttonous beasts will challenge humans, in order to resist the invasion of gluttony, the government of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time spent a lot of manpower and financial resources, recruited capable people across the country, and formed a mysterious army, called the "Shadowless Forbidden Army", with the Great Wall as the line of defense.

Sima Yan also joined the army at that time, although she was only a class of women, but she fought bravely and made many achievements, it can be said that she was more ruthless than men in battle, and soon got the weight of the marshal of the Shadowless Forbidden Army and became a partial general.

After becoming a general, Sima Yan personally trained a women's death squad, and tied a rope around her waist to fly under the Great Wall to kill the gluttony, so that it could not climb the city wall.

Year after year, just when everyone thought that it was impossible for the gluttony to cross the Great Wall, the palace marshal was assassinated by the gluttony who suddenly rushed to the city wall during a patrol. Then the ministers of the court and the central government played one after another, and pushed Sima Yan to the position of palace marshal.

To put it bluntly, it is to catch ducks on the shelves, after all, the army cannot be left without an owner for a day, regardless of him Zhang San and Li Si on top first.

Later, she won several battles, and Sima Yan also proved with her ability that she could afford the banner of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, even if she attacked the city wall many times, she could always lead her subordinates to turn the tide!

However, the Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, coupled with the corruption of officialdom at that time, the supplies for front-line operations were almost exhausted, and the soldiers had to fight against gluttony while enduring hunger and disease. In the end, gluttony broke through the Great Wall and entered the Central Plains......

At this point, Wang Wenwen stopped.

Zhou Yong and his entourage listened to it and said that myths are myths and cannot be taken seriously. Wu Meng and I listened with boiling blood and asked vigorously, "What happened later?" And then? ”

"I didn't know later, anyway, the human side won in the end. As for Sima Yan, her final ending was also quite tragic, saying that she committed suicide by Yangyao. ”

The wind was gusting in this cave, and the smell of corpses was all over the sky, and when I said these few words, I felt that my heart was suffocated by the stench, and I immediately stopped. Zhou Yong is a veteran after all, although he is a little worried about these corpses, he is not ambiguous, covers his mouth and nose, and enters the corpse group first.

Wu Meng's face was as white as paper, although he was afraid, but it was useless to be afraid at this time, and he didn't need my persuasion, he trembled on his two legs and stepped into the corpse pile tremblingly. These corpses were all over the cavern, and there was no end in sight, dense, crowded, and overlapped, with hands and feet all over the place, and heads everywhere, so that people had no place to stay.

The number of corpses in this group has completely exceeded the specifications that a general should have, what is the origin of this general?

At this moment, Wu Meng in front of me, because of the sudden staggering sound under his feet, stepped on a piece of rotten flesh that was blistered, and the whole person leaned back, seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, I was quick to move, even if I helped him. The stench in the corpse group was unstoppable, none of us spoke, Wu Meng just nodded at me with palpitations, and continued to walk forward, at this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the rotten flesh that had been trampled by Wu Meng out of the corner of my eye, and actually moved.

I wondered if I was dazzled, rubbed my eyes, and looked down again, the rotten flesh had been flattened by Wu, and the people who watched it had itchy throats and almost vomited. Except for the nausea, there was no threat to us, so I pretended not to see it and continued on my way. There were so many of them that it was easy to step on them if you weren't careful, and it didn't take long for others to find out.

Everyone turned pale, but they didn't say anything, but their pace quickened.

Who knew that at this time, Wu Meng actually rushed forward, completely unafraid of the corpses and rotten flesh under his feet, and ran in stride, the soles of his feet chirped, and the scalps of those who listened were numb.

My heart sank, I was furious, and shouted: "Wu Meng, what are you crazy about, get back for me." ”

As if he hadn't heard it at all, he ran forward desperately, I knew that something was wrong, and I didn't care about greeting Wu Meng's ancestor, so I chased after him.

It stands to reason that Wu Meng's physical strength is not good on weekdays, and he can't outrun me, but now it's like being beaten with chicken blood. The further I went, the clearer the situation in front became, only to see more and more corpses, and at the end, an octagonal cave appeared, the mouth of the cave was full of rotten corpses, Wu Meng ran all the way to the cave as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.

The closer the corpses got to the cave, the more they became, and they were visibly strange. Seeing that Wu Meng was about to run into the cave, although my heart was worried at this moment, I couldn't care so much, as soon as I made a force under my feet, my body popped out in the air, and I pounced on Wu Meng, and the two of them fell to the ground along this momentum.

The ground was full of rotten corpses, and the whole person threw himself down, and the disgusting things that were pressed were chirping, and the corpses splashed everywhere, and even the mouths were stained a lot, and the stench went straight to the nasal cavities, not to mention the disgusting energy.

After I pressed Wu Meng, I didn't care about anything, grabbed him by the collar, raised my hand and slapped him.

At this time, Wang Wenwen and the others also caught up, and it is estimated that the situation of the two of us now being covered in rotten flesh is disgusting enough, and no one came to help. It is estimated that this slap stunned Wu Meng, he didn't react, and I stood up with my collar. I was also shocked by his abnormal behavior just now, and when I subdued Wu Meng at this time, my heart was relieved, and I immediately found out that he was wrong.

Wu Meng'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.

So I hurriedly raised my hand to cover Wu Meng's eyes, 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 Wu Meng's spirit, 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?" ”

Wu Meng's expression was a little ugly, he took a step back, unusually, ignoring the minced flesh 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 don't control it at all, I just want to run inside." It's a scary feeling, don't you feel it? He said, looking at me and the others with some horror.

I turned around and glanced at Wang Wenwen, both shaking their heads, a little unable to understand Wu Meng's words. But his face was pale, and he didn't look like he was lying.

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 corpses had a specific location after death, and the corpses were not directly thrown in the grave and placed indiscriminately.

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.

I said this idea, Zhou Yong nodded, agreed, and everyone 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 softer, you can step directly into the stomach, bursting out a pool of yellow-green liquid, people are unsteady on it, hands and feet at the same time, the touch of stroking a wet corpse, not to mention how disgusting it is.

The cave was not long, and it was not long before we reached the end and saw a large rectangular crater.

The length of the pit, about twenty meters away, was immeasurably deep, and the pit was full of corpses that were as wet as leaven, some of them had green hairs like mold, and the light shone through, and the corpses, some with empty mouths, some with twisted limbs, made people tremble, and the smell was so smoky that people almost fainted.

Regarding the scene in front of them, Zhou Yong and his party didn't seem to have any special fear, just covering their noses. Wang Wenwen and Dai Gaopeng were only a little surprised.

Wu Meng pointed to a straight path in the middle of the burial pit, covered his nose and asked, "How can this road be built on the corpse pit?" ”

As he said this, everyone shifted their eyes from the corpse to the middle of the road, which was located in the center of the burial pit and stretched straight to the opposite side. The overhead lighting is limited, so we can't see exactly what the end of the grave looks like.

Except for the one in front of me, everything else was shrouded in a deep darkness. The middle road is very strange, only about half a meter wide, and if it is for people to walk, it will seem too narrow.

Everyone looked at each other in the dark that was full of corpses, and their faces were unnatural. I was more concerned about the pit than the road, and I had a strange feeling that something was watching us from under the pit.

Wang Wenwen looked ahead and pondered, probably a little uncertain, and finally he said, "You stay here, I'll go over and have a look first." ”

He immediately greeted us and set out on the narrow road, leaving us with only a back.

Wang Wenwen's pace of progress was very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the center of the road, about because it was eroded by water vapor all the year round, and it was deep underground, so in the whole space, there was a layer of misty fog, these fogs and the breath emitted by the corpse were mixed together, everything seemed a little hazy, and Wang Wenwen's back soon became a little blurry. At that moment, he suddenly stopped, and then began to retreat backwards, as if something threatening had suddenly appeared in front of him. We have been watching Wang Wenwen closely, and as soon as he retreated, we became nervous in an instant, and Dongzi and the four crew members directly aimed the AK47 in their hands at the dark place, ready to shoot at any time.

Wang Wenwen stepped back, put his hands behind his back, and kept gesturing at us. It was a gesture I'd never seen before, and I had no idea what he was trying to mean. He put his hands behind his back, one by one, like a fish swinging its tail, I was stunned at first, and then reacted, and my heart said, "Is it for us to run?"

What happened to him?
