Chapter 46: The Strange Female Corpse in the Dungeon
The pitch-black bronze door has two pull rings on it, and the heavy patina gives the whole door an eerie green color, which looks very uncomfortable. Only a candle emitted a small glow in the dim darkness of the ground, reflecting a small place, less than the size of a man's face. In this dungeon, there is nothing else except for two people who can breathe, there may be some murals, but Zhong Hongshan has no leisure to look at it now, and now they have more trouble to worry about. There are only two people in this dungeon, why are there three people's breathing sounds? Practice to their level, even if they can't fly in the air, but their perception has been developed very powerfully, it is impossible to hear it wrong in a quiet situation, but if it is not misheard, but who are the three breathing sounds?" Linglong's voice trembled a little, and she looked around, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she was almost about to cry. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Although Zhong Hongshan was comforted, he was also lacking in qi, and his tone sounded very erratic, and even he didn't believe that he was fearless. In the dim underground, the two of them all drew their swords, looked at the bronze portal, took a deep breath, tried to forget the breathing of the third person, and raised their feet together and kicked the door open.
The bronze portal opened widely, and a cold wind poured into it, and the two of them shivered, this place was too cold. As soon as she entered, Linglong threw the candle out, took out a stack of paper with one hand, and threw it into the air, and when the flame met the paper, it immediately burned, illuminating a larger area. In a flash, the burning paper has been extinguished, only the candle that was thrown out is still burning, and a terrifying grimace is reflected in the fleeting firelight, the hideous and terrifying grimace has a wide open mouth, a sharp tooth is all exposed, two long teeth almost hang down to the chin, and the eyes as big as copper bells are dark and deep, like two abysses, to suck the soul of a person. "Ahh "Don't be afraid, it's just a grimace. Zhong Hongshan reluctantly took Linglong and jumped onto a pillar, which seemed to be carved with something, but it made Zhong Hongshan climb very well. When he came to the place where the ghost face was hanging, Zhong Hongshan reached out and took off the ghost face, threw it down, crawled out with a crackling sound, jumped up, and stomped the ghost face to smash with one kick. "Alright, I've destroyed that ghostface. Patting Linglong's head, Zhong Hongshan couldn't help but feel funny, this girl, she dared to be the first to come down if she was so daring.
"Damn!" Linglong flew down from Zhong Hongshan's body, blushing, stepping on the broken ghost face on the ground, scolding as she stepped on it: "Let you scare me, trample you to death, trample you to death!" The little foot stomped hard, and the ghost face that he stepped on couldn't be broken anymore. "Alright, let's see what's here. Zhong Hongshan grabbed Linglong and groped for something on the pillar, and after a while, Zhong Hongshan screamed in surprise, took down a swarthy thing from the pillar, and approached the candle to see that it was actually a torch. "Great!" Zhong Hongshan hurriedly lit the torch, finally able to see farther away. It was a dungeon,* the last one was a little larger, made of very old bricks, built in a circle, with a large dome, and there was nothing of value in the dungeon, except for a coffin and two pillars in the center. "What is this? Is it the zombie's coffin?" Linglong curiously touched the coffin with her hand, and was pulled by Zhong Hongshan, it would be bad if there was any mechanism. "It's hard to say, probably not, the whole coffin is made of black iron, you see, this coffin is made of wood. Zhong Hongshan carefully observed the coffin in the middle and shook his head, he was not sure, if this was a coffin with a layer of wood, it would be broken. "Let's open it then. As soon as Linglong heard that it was not a zombie's coffin, she immediately came to her senses, and stabbed a sword on the coffin, trying to cut out a skylight of the entire coffin board. "Ding!" There was a crisp sound, and the delicate sword stabbed on it, but it barely made a mark on it, and after going a little deeper, it couldn't get in anymore. "What kind of wood is this, why is it so strong!" Linglong was amazed, this wood could actually block the sword forged by the meteor, and it must be a good treasure.
"How could you open a coffin like this. Zhong Hongshan shook his head, stretched out his hand to pull away Linglong, the sword in his hand slowly crossed the coffin, looking for the seam, and searched carefully for a long time, Zhong Hongshan's eyes lit up, and he shouted, and the long sword in his hand was pried one by one, and a wooden nail came out of the coffin board. "Find a way, and it will be done quickly. Zhong Hongshan said with a smile, Linglong also learned from Zhong Hongshan's example, groping on the coffin, the two of them quickly knocked on all the wooden nails, and finally the coffin lid creaked, revealing a gap. "It stinks!" As soon as the coffin was opened, a strange smell floated out, Linglong hurriedly covered her nose, who knows if it will be poisonous gas, such a stink, even if it is not poisonous gas, it is the smell of rotting corpses. "No, this dungeon has been around for at least fifty years, and the corpse should have been rotten a long time ago. Zhong Hongshan sighed lightly, picked open the lid of the coffin with his sword, looked inside, Linglong's curiosity also followed, just glanced at it, Linglong couldn't help but turn around and vomit, what is this?
There were no dead people in the coffin, this was originally very normal, the long years had long since rotted out, where would there be any bones, but the things in the coffin were actually a bunch of people curled up together in the water, soaked in water, already white and almost transparent, the twisted body seemed to be twisted by something, the head rested on the feet, the body was unnaturally curled together, it looked like a twisted flower. Such a terrifying scene, looking at people's scalps numb, and wanting to gag, no wonder Linglong was so frightened that she vomited at a glance. "Uh. Zhong Hongshan was also a little overwhelmed, the only thing that was certain was that this was definitely not a zombie's coffin, and it couldn't be the wise man, the wise man was obviously a man, and this coffin was filled with women, maybe the wise man's wife or something. "Oh my God, what is this?" Linglong endured the vomiting **, and looked at Zhong Hongshan with a blank eye, hoping that it could give a reasonable explanation. "I don't know, let's get out of here. Zhong Hongshan covered his nose, since the coffin was opened, the stench has become even stronger, those corpses were disturbed by them, and they were actually floating in the water, which was very weird.
"This way!" Zhong Hongshan searched the wall for a while, and found a bronze portal, no matter what was inside. Pulling Linglong and jumping inside, as soon as he entered, the sound of breaking through the air swished, "Get down!" Zhong Hongshan roared, threw Linglong to the ground, rolled on the spot, and a sharp arrow grazed the back of Zhong Hongshan's head and flew over. "It's a mechanism!" Zhong Hongshan shouted, slashing obliquely with a backhand sword, splitting an arrow with a sword, pulling Linglong and running to the depths, along the way the feather arrows were dense, and from time to time there were small stones falling down, and by the end of the road, they were all injured. Zhong Hongshan was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, blood kept coming out, Linglong was hit by a stone, and a big bag bulged out on his head, looking as if he had a horn on his head. "Are you alright? Simply helped Zhong Hongshan to treat his wounds, Linglong helped Zhong Hongshan to stand up, looked around, and found that this place was like an altar, a long stone staircase stretched to an unknown place, and the light of the torch was limited, so it couldn't shine there at all. "Let's rest for a while. Zhong Hongshan covered the wound on his shoulder, sat on the ground and gasped, Linglong looked at Zhong Hongshan's current condition, and agreed to rest on the spot, sitting on the steps, neither of them spoke, thinking about their own thoughts.
"I said, what the hell is that?" Linglong broke the silence and asked Zhong Hongshan, the woman's corpse was really terrible. "Do you really want to know?" Zhong Hongshan was silent for a while and asked Linglong, "I think I probably know why those women died tragically, and it was probably a trap used to trap zombies." "What?" Linglong was surprised and covered her mouth, "The mural says that the wise man used a trick to catch the zombies, but he didn't elaborate, do you remember the stench when we opened the coffin? It should be the smell of corpses, and those women were all poisoned by corpses, so they were buried together because they were burned, and a means of embalming was used to prevent the corpse poison from penetrating into the soil." ”
