Because of the disturbance of last night's strange sound, everyone has not slept tonight, except for Hu Zhe and Zhao Xiaoshan, who were on duty in the early morning, Ye Jian and the others, who were supposed to go to bed to rest, were lying on the bed in their clothes, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.
There is a little difference between tonight and yesterday,
Ye Jian found that last night was just a sporadic irregular sound, and tonight's "bang, bang" sound showed a certain pattern, at first the interval between the sounds was relatively long, and then it became shorter and shorter, more and more urgent.
The intensity of the vibration of the entire tomb is also getting stronger and stronger, as if something is about to break through the ground.
The six of them gathered together, and their mood sank to the extreme.
Every "bang" sound and the vibration of the mountain make everyone feel like the end of the world.
"What kind of monster ,,, here ,,, this, right?"
Zhao Xiaoshan said with chattering teeth.
"Zhao Xiaoshan, don't scare yourself. Although Hochul is also playing drums in his heart, as the leader of the group, he can't show that he is too scared, otherwise everyone will lose morale.
"In my opinion, even if there are any monsters, it is estimated that they are locked in the mountain, how can such a hard and thick mountain be broken? Besides, if it can be broken, it will be broken in 200 years. ”
Ye Jian thought about it and said.
Ye Jian's words, everyone was a lot more relieved.
Fortunately, after a while, the strange sound and vibration were gone.
I didn't sleep all night, and the next day everyone slept until noon.
Now, a sense of dread hangs over everyone's mind, and the strange sounds that have appeared for two nights in a row are definitely not accidental.
"You say, could it be the ghosts of the people who died in the tomb before?"
Zhao Xiaoshan didn't know how to think of this question, and blurted out, fortunately, it was noon, and a ray of sunlight shot in from the hole overhead, and he didn't feel so scared, if Zhao Xiaoshan said this last night, it is estimated that everyone would be scared half to death again.
"We should check the whole cave again, starting with where we entered the day before yesterday. ”
Ye Jian proposed.
Since strange things have happened in the past two nights, perhaps there will be some signs left in the cave.
Ye Jian's proposal was approved by everyone, although everyone was scared in their hearts, but check it and take precautions, this is the right countermeasure.
The group held torches and once again came to the place where the teleportation light array had been opened.
Everyone worked in groups of two, scattered to inspect the walls and the floor.
Originally, Ye Jian and Ling Xiaoxiao were in a group, but Jia Li expressed his reluctance to be in a group with Zhao Xiaoshan, and in the end Ji Ling coordinated, Jia Li and Ye Jian were in a group, Hu Zhe and Zhao Xiaoshan were in a group, and Ji Ling and Ling Xiaoxiao were in a group, and it was agreed that if the groups were distributed in this way in the future.
Ye Jian held a torch and squatted on the ground, he had always been very interested in the huge figure 6 on the ground.
Somebody wrote a 6 here? And the 6 font seems to be full of runes.
It's really a book that I hate when I use it, and if I had learned more rune knowledge from Yao Kai, I might be able to answer this question.
Ye Jian simply sat on the ground and carefully studied the 6 characters and the runes on it.
"Do you think there's anything strange about this word?"
Ye Jian asked Jia Li.
Jali looked at it, shook his head, and suddenly said again, "Why do you want to number each cave?"
"Huh?" Ye Jian looked up
"Think about it, according to the statistics of the Diling expedition, there are a total of 8 caves, which are marked with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, let's not discuss whether there is a No. 5 cave, think about it, who is the person who wants each cave to mark?"
Jia Li is worthy of being the heir of the ancient Zhu family, and her logical reasoning thinking is superior, which is also the result of her often being trained by her grandfather, father, and those strong people of the Zhu family.
Ye Jian nodded.
Suddenly, an exclamation came.
"Ahh
It was the cries of Ling Xiaoxiao and Ji Ling, full of horror.
When Ye Jian heard this, he reflexively jumped up and ran over.
Jia Li looked at Ye Jian's figure, was stunned, and raised the torch and walked over.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Ye Jian was the first to arrive, and then Hu Zhe, Zhao Xiaoshan and others also arrived.
Ye Jian stretched out his hand to help Ling Xiaoxiao, looking frightened.
Ji Ling pointed to the darkness with his finger and said, "There, there are people." ”
"Anyone?"
The scalps of Ye Jian and the others exploded all of a sudden? How could there be anyone else in this tomb?
"It's a skeleton. ”
Ling Xiaoxiao continued.
It turned out that Ling Xiaoxiao and Ji Ling searched together, and saw a hole in a shadow of the wall, Ling Xiaoxiao went deep into the hole, and found a skeleton, so frightened that the torches were thrown on the ground, and the two of them ran back with an exclamation.
When Ye Jian and the others heard this, their hearts sank, and there were more and more strange things in this land.
"I said it a long time ago, this time the earth tomb is a little weird, do you believe it now?" Zhao Xiaoshan did not forget to prove his hunch.
"Let's take a look first. ”
Hu Zhe said, and then, under the leadership of Hu Zhe, everyone came to the cave that Ling Xiaoxiao had just found again.
Ling Xiaoxiao still had palpitations, her body trembled slightly, and she reached out to grab Ye Jian's hand.
Ye Jian turned his head to look at Ling Xiaoxiao, and shook it gently with his hand, Ling Xiaoxiao felt a little at ease.
Jia Li stood behind the two of them, watching Ling Xiaoxiao and Ye Jian clasp their hands together, and felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
The hollow in the wall is not large, it is a natural formation, and since the whole cave is pitch black, you will not notice it if you do not deliberately look along the wall.
Hochul plunged the torch deep into it, and inside was a skeleton, estimated to be very old.
There is a storage bag underneath the skeleton, which is covered in dust.
Storage bags, special items refined by master alchemists, will not rot for decades.
Hochul reached out and took out the storage bag, opened it, and in addition to a small number of gold coins, there was a strange thing.
"What is this?"
"Jade Ruyi. Hochul said
"You know?"
"Well, this is the artifact of a senior brother of our academy, a jade Ruyi from the early Ming Dynasty, with the words 'Blessing is like the East China Sea, health and longevity'. ”
Hu Zhe reversed the jade Ruyi in his hand, and sure enough, there were 8 ancient texts written on it.
"This senior brother once participated in an expedition to the Earth Tomb, but he disappeared, and he didn't expect to die here. ”
Hochul looked sad.
Ye Jian let go of Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, held the torch, carefully looked at the skeleton in the cave, and said with a gloomy face, "Don't you think this skeleton is a little strange?"
"Strange?"
Everyone was startled and looked at Ye Jian together.
"First of all, why did this senior brother choose to die in this cave?
Ye Jianyi reminded everyone that this cave was not only dark, but also rocky inside, and the space was narrow, and it was extremely uncomfortable for people to sit in it.
"Under normal circumstances, the most comfortable place in the whole cave is the place with the entrance to the cave in the middle, there is sunlight during the day, there is natural wind, if I am going to die, I must choose to die there. ”
Everyone nodded.
"Look at the hole again. ”
Ye Jian pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "This cave is very narrow, and it is very difficult for people to get into it, the question is, why did he not choose a comfortable and sunny place, but chose this dark and uncomfortable narrow cave to hide?"
"And ,,,"
"Oh, don't have it anymore, hurry up and say your answer, and sell it all. Zhao Xiaoshan said impatiently, and his heart was also frightened.
Ye Jian glanced at the few people around him, and said with some frustration, "There is only one reason, he must have encountered something dangerous before he died, and the sense of fear prompted him to hide in this uncomfortable hole in a panic." ”
"If you look at the way this skeleton sat before he died, his whole body was as close to the stone wall behind him as possible, and he must have encountered something terrible, and this thing chased him all the way to the entrance of the cave. ”
Ye Jian's analysis, everyone felt justified, and a chill of fear enveloped everyone again.
Jia Li was originally standing at the back, and he also hurriedly took two steps forward.
"Could it have something to do with the strange noise I heard at night?"
"Maybe. ”
"Shall we continue our search, then?"
"Of course, haven't we found some clues now? Maybe we can find more useful clues, so be careful when you search, and work in pairs. Hochul said
When searching again, Ye Jian walked in front, and Jia Li hurried a few steps and ran to Ye Jian's side, no longer walking behind him like before.
Ye Jian turned his head and glanced at Jia Li, "Are you afraid?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid, but what's the use of being afraid!"
Ye Jian said this to Jia Li, but also to himself, he suddenly remembered that when he was in Dayue City, that rainy day, his family was chased and killed by the killers sent by Zuo Heng, his father was injured, his mother was weak, and he was also afraid to die, the family sat in a carriage, braved the heavy rain, and fled for their lives on the mountain road, and he was afraid to death at that time.
But the survival ** and the anger of revenge supported him, allowing him to find a way to solve the problem in fear.
It can be said that that period of life experience in Dayue City honed Ye Jian and made his mind more mature and strong.
Once a person puts himself to death and is born, he will burst out with infinite strength and wisdom.
