Chapter 51: Tool Man

After I asked, Lou Yuluan looked very dazed, obviously she didn't remember what happened before.

Being able to suddenly lose his mind shows that Lou Yuluan must have been confused by something, I don't know what it is, but I think it must have something to do with the hundreds of wax corpses in front of me.

Most of the wax corpses come from the slavery system of the feudal period, and often some prominent people will die with more or less martyrs after death, and they will be buried by wives and concubines, and some strong laborers will be selected as burials.

In ancient times, people believed that people would go to another world to live again after death, and in order to maintain their status in another world, the size of the tomb would be very large when they were buried, and there would be a lot of burial goods, and the people who accompanied the burial were naturally varied.

It is most common to accompany concubines and maids and family members, and there are even cooks, butlers, grooms, and Yiying duties, and even some kings will even bring an entire army as a burial companion.

If you want to make it stand tall with a living person, the most direct way is to make it into a stone figurine, just like what you saw in the second section of the road.

But hanging with a rope hanging from the neck like this is unseen and unheard of, which makes me think that so many wax corpses are not just as simple as burial, maybe they have other uses.

"Give you back the flashlight." Now that Lou Yuluan is fine, the flashlight should be returned to its original owner. However, at the moment when Lou Yuluan took over the flashlight, I found something strange on the ground below by the light of the flashlight's tilt, and I was busy letting Lou Yuluan verify it.

As soon as I reminded him, Lou Yuluan hurriedly squatted down and even shot the flashlight directly at the ground under the feet of those wax corpses at the lowest angle, and found that the ground was not flat, but had grooves.

I approached the nearest groove and found that there was a layer of corpse wax condensed in the groove, and there was an imperceptible wriggling.

After careful investigation, I found that there were grooves and ravines like spider webs at the feet of the hundreds of wax corpses, and almost all the corpse wax in the ravines flowed towards the most central area of this spider web.

As for what the center was like, because there were too many wax corpses blocking it, and the distance was very willing, so it was not clear at all.

Seeing me lying on the ground in a serious manner, Bai Chi limped over, and also lay down beside me and looked at it and said in surprise: "Alas, why are there so many ditches, it shouldn't be for these people to bleed before they die, right?" I didn't answer Bai Chi's question, but stretched out a hand and dipped the corpse wax in the ravine in front of me, rubbed it between my fingers, and found that the stickiness was still very strong, and it would also emit a faint strange smell after being weak and hot.

There was a stench of corpse oil in this strange smell, but it was masked by another strange smell, and if you didn't smell it carefully, you really couldn't smell anything.

"This corpse wax is very similar to the fuel used in the torches before." Lou Yuluan said affirmatively.

"That's right, this is the fuel used for the torches, and it seems that these people are not really burial companions, but tools used to refine fuel." I have figured out the origin of these wax corpses in front of me, and I have to say that I still have a sense of accomplishment in my heart, but this so-called achievement may not be of any use to us, and leaving here to meet Liu Baye is the right way.

"Let's go." As I spoke, Lou Yuluan nodded and walked in along the narrow gap between the wax corpses with a flashlight, and I followed closely and slowly.

The distance between the wax corpse and the wax corpse is about half a meter, so a slender figure like me and Lou Yuluan can easily pass through, but Bai Chi is different, not only is he burly, but he also limps when he walks, almost every step will hit the wax corpses on both sides and shake, and even the squeak of the ropes hanging from the stone hooks above can be heard.

After walking about half the distance, Lou Yuluan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and the light of the flashlight stopped on a hanging corpse.

Just a cursory look at the corpse made me gasp, because the corpse hanging in front of me at the moment was not a wax corpse, but a person who had just died.

The man's head was bent down at an exaggerated angle, his neck had clearly been severed by the ropes, and there were several fatal wounds on his body, and the bright red blood was flowing down the wounds, down the toes of his almost ground-off feet into the grooves and ravines in the ground below.

Following the flow of bright red blood, I finally saw the center of the cobweb, which was a huge funnel about a meter in diameter, this funnel was embedded in the ground, even lower than the ground, and the bright red blood slowly flowed into the funnel along with the wax that gathered from all directions.

This may be the mechanism that draws the corpse wax as fuel, but at the moment I don't care about this mechanism, I care about the corpse hanging in front of me at the moment, because the corpse is obviously very fresh, and the blood has not yet coagulated.

Lou Yuluan and I were both looking at the corpse in a daze, and at this time, Bai Chi suddenly came to my side with an arrow step, and knocked the wax corpse hanging on the side directly into the air.

"I'm grass, isn't this a member of my Bai family!" The subordinates of the Cao Gang all have uniform black clothing, so I directly denied that it was the Cao Gang from the beginning, and Lou Yuluan on the side did not have much reaction to this corpse, so naturally it was not from her Lou family.

"My grass, how can this be, let's see if my dad is not there!" What I said made me speechless, I knew that he was worried about the safety of his Lao Tzu, and I didn't know that I thought he wished that his Lao Tzu was also hung here.

At Bai Chi's request, Lou Yuluan shone the flashlight in front of him, but he didn't expect that this photo didn't matter, and almost caused my little cardiac arrest.

As far as the flashlight could reach, there were more than a dozen corpses that were also flowing with bright red blood, and among these people were people from the Cao Gang, people from the Lou family, and people from the Bai family.

Bai Chi was excluded first, and at this time, I was already stunned, and Lou Yuluan on the side was even more difficult to see, and the flashlight trembled violently with her hand.

"I'm fucking grass, who the hell did this, get out of here, I'm going to break you into pieces!" Bai Chi roared angrily on the side.

Coincidentally, the wax corpse that had just been knocked out by him was swinging back again, or the hanging rope was already overwhelmed, and it suddenly broke when it was swinging back, so that the wax corpse rushed straight to Bai Chi and pounced, pressing Bai Chi directly to the ground, and had a French wet kiss with the wax corpse.

"Phew...... I'm grass, brother save me, save me! I looked at the wax corpse with disgust and shook my head instinctively.

It's just a wax corpse, the fat in the body has long been waxed, and now there are only skin wrapped in bones, except for the horror, there is no weight at all, and Bai Chi pushed it away very easily.

"I'm grass, Lao Tzu is still a yellow flower boy, you dare to take away Lao Tzu's first kiss, see if Lao Tzu kicks your head!" Bai Chi kicked the head of the wax corpse that had just thrown him to the ground.

It's pitiful that people are dead, and that they are humiliated like this, but I don't have the leisure to interfere.

Just as he was thinking about turning around to comfort Lou Yuluan, and then letting him hurry forward as soon as possible, suddenly a gust of wind passed by, which made the wax corpses hanging like needle cone swing like wind chimes.

There was a squeaky sound. Almost at the same time, I suddenly felt a black shadow flash in front of my eyes, I hurriedly turned my head to look, the black shadow was gone, and along with the black shadow, Bai Chi, who was still abusing the corpse a second ago, disappeared.
