Chapter 103: Figures

Probably because of the perennial soaking in water, the corpses of these two sentences have rotted so fast that they are no longer human, and the rotten flesh on their faces is almost falling off, and their eyes are rotten into a ball, and they hang down on the edge of their eye sockets.

It seemed to feel the fluctuation of the water flow when Xi Yueru swam past, and the two rotting corpses shook for a moment, and suddenly swam towards Xi Yueru as if they had been drugged.

Swimming so far, Ji Yueru has obviously felt a little depressed, if she is entangled by these two carrion corpses, then she will never be able to get out.

Thinking of this, Ji Yueru was ruthless in her heart, mustered up all her strength, and quickly rushed towards the two carrion corpses.

The waterway is not wide, and soon Ji Yueru collided head-on with two carrion corpses.

One dodged away from one of the carrion corpses and approached Ji Yueru's hand, and Ji Yueru swam towards the other carrion, forming a soul seal on her hand and slapping it on the door of its head.

The carrion corpse that was hit in the head by the soul fixing seal shook all over, and the black qi that enveloped the whole body suddenly dissipated, and the whole body floated stiffly in the water.

Ji Yueru brushed aside the dead body, and was about to swim over with both hands in front of her, when a force came from her feet, as if she was being pulled by something.

Looking back, the carrion corpse that had been flashed by Ji Yueru before had already caught up at this time, grabbing Ji Yueru's foot and neck with one hand, and the other was about to reach over to grab Ji Yueru's other foot.

How could it be grasped, Ji Yueru hurriedly kicked her leg and kicked the rotting corpse in the face fiercely.

I don't know if it's because I've been soaked in water for too long, and my whole body has almost rotten, Ji Yueru's foot directly kicked the rotting corpse out a few steps away, leaving only a severed hand still hanging on Ji Yueru's feet.

After a violent movement, Ji Yueru had some stars in her eyes, and her lungs seemed to be holding a dynamite, which seemed to explode at any time. There was no time to pay attention to the rotting corpse that was still struggling to chase after her, so she turned around and swam forward with all her strength.

I don't know how long the time has passed, maybe only a minute, but Ji Yueru feels that it is almost a century.

Just when Ji Yueru's vision began to blur and her brain was about to start to lack oxygen, in a trance, she seemed to see a layer of light not far ahead.

This seems to be the light caused by the light folding into the water, that is, the place where there is light is the exit. Ji Yueru shook her head vigorously, squeezing out the last bit of air in her lungs, and swam towards the light.

"Whoa"

Ji Yueru rushed out of the water at once, stumbled over the steps, and collapsed on the blue brick floor, her chest rising and falling rapidly, gulping in the precious air.

After a few minutes, Ji Yueru recovered from the symptoms of temporary lack of oxygen in her brain, got up from the ground, raised her eyes, and looked around, looking at the environment she was in at the moment.

"What kind of place is this," Ji Yueru was very surprised when she arrived at this mysterious space, "I didn't expect that there was an underground palace under the second-story ancient tomb. ”

I saw that this was an unusually empty clearing, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, I don't know how high, and it didn't look like a cave located underground.

Although the cliff is dark and dreary, I don't know where the light is coming from below, and even if it is very dim, I can see what is around me.

"According to my previous speculation, this ancient tomb is a double-layer structure, and there was such a tomb system in the ancient Miao Xinjiang region, where the clans were in the same cave, and the earliest ancestors were born

Find a treasure site with excellent feng shui as the location of the tomb, and the tombs of each subsequent generation of clan leaders are built on top of the original site of the previous one, and the lower tomb is probably older. ”

This side of the clearing is cut off by the waterway, about a meter above the water, and there are seven or eight steps gradually descending, and finally disappearing in the water, which is where Xi Yueru came up just now.

On the other side, the outline of a building could be faintly seen, and Ji Yueru tried hard to distinguish it, it looked a bit like an emperor's tomb-level tomb built on the ground.

In the middle of the open space, there is a blue brick tomb road leading to the palace, and on both sides of it, two symmetrical rows of stout stone pillars stand neatly, and between the stone pillars, there are many stone statues of human figures.

These stone carvings are about three meters high, wearing crowned hats, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the wide sleeves hang down to the knees, which should look like the nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but they are not exactly the same.

"Judging from the shape of these stone carvings, this is obviously the costume of the Central Plains clan, although there are slight differences, but they are basically the same, it should be a Central Plains clan that migrated or was divided into the Miao Xinjiang region." Ji Yueru judged, "If this is the case, the predecessor of this Miao tribe should be the Han people, no wonder they followed the technique of gathering yin in the seven yin." ”

Ji Yueru walked along the tomb road to the palace in the distance, and when she was halfway through, nearly a hundred black figures suddenly appeared in her sight, and she was suddenly shocked.

"Is it a zombie?"

"With such a large number, I can't handle it even with three heads and six arms."

But turning back was the waterway, surrounded by rock walls that were difficult to climb, and Ji Yueru could only be vigilant and cautiously continued to walk towards the figure.

After walking for a while, getting closer, Ji Yueru realized that these black shadows were just terracotta warriors and horses wearing battle armor.

At this time, the palace at the end of the open space has been clearly visible, the body of the palace is Zhouzheng, the four corners of the bucket arch cornice, there are rare birds standing on the eaves, it looks that the carving is meticulous, the momentum is magnificent.

Below the palace is a stepped three-tiered platform, stacked on top of each other until the entrance of the main hall. There are dozens of terracotta warriors and horses distributed on each platform, just far away, and the black is a little scary to look at.

After a closer look, Ji Yueru's heart that had just been put down became a little uneasy.

These terracotta warriors and horses did not seem to be the same as those familiar clay figurines, they were all covered in thick battle armor, wearing a hood on their heads, and their entire faces were hidden under the face armor, only in the area of their eyes, there was a gap in the black hole.

Even his hands were covered with hand armor, and the whole person was covered tightly, so that he couldn't see what was inside.

And they all hold weapons in their hands, bronze short swords, long ge halberds, and so on, although these weapons have been thousands of years and look a little rusty, but they can obviously still be used.

The most strange thing is that these figurines are not neatly arranged on the steps in front of the palace gate, they are in different postures, or chasing, or running, or chopping, or trying to stab, all facing the same direction, as if they are chasing the enemy.

Ji Yueru looked at it intently, and the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense. If you think of the scene in front of you as a movie screen, it seems that this group of figurines were forced to press the pause button while chasing the enemy, so they all froze at the moment of their last move.

Ji Yueru climbed the lowest steps, walked to the front of the figurine, turned around and looked again,

The whole scene became clear, and all the figurines were coming for the position that Ji Yueru was in now

Looking at the lodging around them, a mess of stone carvings, it is already very obvious that there was a fierce fight here, and what is even more terrible is that these figurines holding weapons and wearing battle armor are not simple decorations, they can move.

This thought made Ji Yueru break out in a cold sweat on her back.

"Who used to fight these figurines here, and why did these servants suddenly stop moving as if they had pressed the pause button," Ji Yueru looked around, hoping to find some useful clues.

Soon there was a harvest, and behind a fallen stone pillar in the corner of the platform, Xi Yueru saw a small piece of exposed white bone.

This is obviously the corpse of an outsider, Ji Yueru walked quickly around the stone pillar, and saw a corpse with its back against the stone pillar, and a few pieces of rags hanging on its body that had not completely decayed, I don't know how many years it had been dead.

There were some dark red patterns around the white bones, and a thick layer of dust fell on them, which could not be seen clearly, Ji Yueru walked to the white bones and squatted down, reaching out to brush away the dust.

The dark red pattern reveals its true face, which seems to be a blood book left by Bai Bone before his death, and they are the same as the inscription seen on the vertical coffin before, indicating that the deceased of unknown origin is from more than 2,000 years ago and is a contemporary of the tomb's owner.

It's just that Ji Yueru can only make out a few words that are close to Qin Seal, and most of the rest of the words can only stare at them.

Finding nothing, Ji Yueru stood up in disappointment, and the white bones suddenly scattered all over the ground.

Looking back, it turned out that it was Ji Yueru's arm that inadvertently pulled the rag on the corpse, and at the same time, a small copper box rolled down from the white bones and stopped at Xi Yueru's feet.

Picking up the copper box, Xi Yueru saw that there was a small lock hanging on it, but the lock body was already rusty, and Ji Yueru pulled it lightly and pulled the padlock open.

Just as he was about to open the copper box to see what was inside, a situation that gave Ji Yueru the most headache happened again.

"Moo"

That weird damn voice sounded again, echoing back and forth in the empty clearing, having experienced the first two times, thinking with his toes, Ji Yueru also knew what was going to happen next.

There was no time to check the contents of the copper box, so Ji Yueru stuffed it into her arms, and rushed under the platform as soon as she turned around.

"Bell One" A cold light swept through the place where Ji Yueru was standing at the previous moment, slashed a piece of air, and slammed into the stone pillar next to the white bones, making a tooth-aching crashing sound.

Ji Yueru looked back, and the armored figurine in front had already withdrawn the halberd split on the stone pillar, strode forward, raised the halberd, and stabbed at the back of Ji Yueru's heart.

And behind it, nearly a hundred armored figurines followed.

"It's so dangerous" Ji Yue didn't have time to rejoice, spread her feet, and ran for her life towards the side of the cliff.

The direction of coming is the damn waterway, and Ji Yueru is not interested in experiencing it again, not to mention that even after crossing the waterway, there is still a resentful ghost waiting for Ji Yueru over there. One can only hope that in the direction of the cliff, there is no exit or place to hide.

With nearly 100 armored figurines, Ji Yueru really couldn't think of a way to deal with them, and escaping for her life was the only option.
