73, tomb guards
I didn't expect Sister Hong's mentality to be so good, she was bitten by a piranha and bruised all over her body, and she had the leisure to laugh with me.
I hurriedly glanced at her and whispered, "Sister Hong, don't talk nonsense, my old Taishan is still beside me, what did he hear like he said?" ”
Unexpectedly, Sister Hong became even more crazy after being bitten by a piranha, but said without shame: "What are you afraid of? What happened when he heard it? Call him to play together, sister will give you two a 20% discount! ”
Uncle Mei was sitting on the side smoking a cigarette, and when he heard Sister Hong's words, he glared at her in disgust.
Lao Wu, who bandaged his wounds, also took a sip and scolded: "What a shameless stinky framer!" ”
Sister Hong didn't care, and laughed to herself, her weird laughter echoed in the empty tomb, making people feel creepy.
For a moment, I even felt that Sister Hong seemed to have fallen into evil, otherwise how could she suddenly say these crazy things? How could it be so abnormal?
Just when Sister Hong was smoking alone, Uncle Mei finished smoking, stood up and took two steps forward, and suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Huh? There seems to be someone in front! ”
I hurriedly got up and walked over, followed Uncle Mei's guidance and looked forward, only to see a faint cold light in the dark depths of the ground in front of me.
The glow is cool, not like natural light like sunlight or firelight, but rather like the glow of the headlamps we wear.
Considering that the king's shopkeeper went down to the tomb in advance, I guess that this may be the previous group of people.
"Could it be the king's treasurer? Stay at the door of the tomb and wait to meet us? I asked.
"It's possible!" Sister Hong finally stopped smiling, and came over and said, "Great, I met a partner!" ”
When Lao Wu heard this, he hurriedly limped over, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, when I see the shopkeeper Wang, I have to complain, this big meat pot is too dangerous, there is actually a piranha in the thief hole!" It's evil, where do you say this piranha came from? ”
None of us can answer this question, and the only intellectuals who have the potential to answer it have been killed by him.
As we spoke, we followed the light.
Sister Hong shouted loudly from afar: "Hey! Who's in front? Is it a dirt dog? Or is it handsome? ”
But after shouting for a long time, no one responded, and there was only the echo of Sister Hong in the entire space.
I felt a little strange, and a layer of white sweat began to ooze from my back, and I took a few steps forward, and vaguely saw a figure at the location of the light source, standing in place against the wall, his hands seemed to be holding a weapon, protecting the position of his chest, as if he was standing guard.
This pose reminded me of the bronze figures I encountered outside the door of the previous mausoleum, and they were standing in place in such a strange way holding a weapon that resembled a golf club.
Two more steps forward, we already vaguely saw the man, he was a very young man, he looked to be in his twenties, his eyes were closed at this time, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, he looked like a dead man!
"Xiao Shuai?! What's wrong with you, Xiaoshuai? ”
Sister Hong recognized this person at a glance, and hurriedly ran forward.
We're following behind, too.
Going around to the front of Xiao Shuai, I was suddenly taken aback-
I saw that this little handsome was not standing by the wall, but was nailed to the wall by a bronze spear!
The bronze spear pierced his chest directly, and the end pierced into the wall of the tomb, and Xiao Shuai clenched the spear tightly in both hands before he died, as if he wanted to pull it out.
His whole body was suspended by the spear penetration, both feet were off the ground, and blood flowed from the wound on his chest, accumulating in a puddle at his feet.
Seeing this picture, Sister Hong asked in horror, "What the hell is going on?" Who is it...... Who killed Xiao Shuai? ”
Uncle Mei and I couldn't say why, and we were both frightened by Xiao Shuai's strange death.
At this time, Lao Wu also limped over, and when he saw the death of Xiao Shuai in front of him, he immediately said with an earthy face: "It's over!" It's a big deal this time! Look at Xiao Shuai's way of dying, it obviously angered the owner of the tomb! ”
Sister Hong said in a trembling voice: "Old Wu, don't scare people, what angered the owner of the tomb, the owner of the tomb has been dead for thousands of years, can you still harm people?" ”
Old Wu said matter-of-factly: "I really don't lie to you! Take a closer look at Xiao Shuai's death! was directly pierced through the chest by a bronze spear, and the body was nailed to the wall alive, with both feet off the ground! I ask you, can a living man have this power? Can you poke Xiao Shuai, a young man of more than eight meters, to death on the wall? ”
What Lao Wu said is indeed right.
Xiaoshuai is more than 1.8 meters tall, his body is not thin, and he weighs at least 150 or 60 pounds by visual inspection.
Such an adult man, when he has the ability to resist, was directly pierced through the chest by a spear and nailed to the wall alive, it is really incredible!
This has to make people think in the direction of the supernatural!
At this time, Lao Wu said again: "And have you seen it, the weapon that stabbed Xiao Shuai to death was the bronze in this ancient tomb!" It must have been our group of people digging graves and robbing the tombs, which angered the owner of the tomb, and was targeted by the Yin soldiers guarding the tomb, and Xiao Shuai was killed by this Yin soldier guarding the tomb! ”
The more Sister Hong listened, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What should I do?" Otherwise, let's not steal this tomb, our lives matter, so let's go back the way we came, right? ”
Lao Wu pointed to his bloody legs and said, "Xiaohong, have you lost your memory?" It's all piranhas on the way back, how do you get back? We have no way back! ”
Sister Hong was devastated after hearing this.
There are unknown tomb guards in front, and piranhas who eat people and don't spit out bones, and we are simply stuck in the middle of a dilemma!
After listening to Lao Wu's explanation, I actually felt a little weak in my heart, but since the last time I broke through the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang with Jiang Yongguang and Xiao Liang, my courage has been trained.
I know that many supernatural events can actually be explained, and some seemingly scary scenes, after figuring out the truth behind them, are often not so scary.
Therefore, I think there must be a more reasonable explanation for Xiaoshuai's death.
With my headlights on, I walked a few more steps around the neighborhood, looking for clues.
Even if it is really as Lao Wu said, Xiao Shuai was killed by the Yin soldiers guarding the tomb, this Yin soldier should always leave some traces when he crosses the border, right?
The hard work paid off, and after I lowered my head and went around in a circle, I suddenly found that the ground seemed to have sunk into a piece of the ground opposite Xiao Shuai's body, forming a small pit in place, and the blood flowing from Xiao Shuai's body gathered in this small pit.
I took out my diving blade and knocked on the small pit, only to hear the echo of "tuk-tuk", which seemed to be hollow and presumably made of metal underneath the earth.
I tapped on the ground next to me with my diving blade, and at first I didn't notice anything, but after taking a few steps forward, I suddenly hit the same hollow structure again, making a "tuk-tuk" echo.
It's just that this piece of ground is not sinking, but horizontal.
Uncle Mei and Sister Hong were attracted by my behavior, and asked curiously, "Rong Sheng, what are you doing?" ”
I waved my hand at them and told them to take a few steps back, then crouched on the ground, raised my elbow, and slammed into the hollow ground.
I heard a bang, and the ground suddenly caved in, as if it had touched some kind of mechanism!
Followed by!
Suddenly, there was a sound of a machine spring in a pitch-black position on the side wall, and suddenly with a "whoosh", a sharp and heavy bronze spear shot horizontally, swept over my head in a thrilling way, and slammed into the wall on the other side!
If I had not squatted on the ground, but stood in place, then at this moment, I would have been nailed to the wall by this sharp spear like Xiao Shuai.
At this time, I looked back at Uncle Mei and Sister Hong, and said with a smile: "The mystery has been revealed, it was not the Yin soldiers who killed Xiao Shuai, but this mechanism." ”
