Chapter 72: Entrance to the Great Tomb

"What the hell?"

The moment I saw the cyan face, I didn't think about anything, and my first reaction was to get up and follow Huizhen to escape.

Hades ditch is too evil, everywhere we can't understand things, I only care about running for my life, but Huizhen suddenly pulled me and told me not to run,

"Zhou Xuan, wait a minute, that thing seems to be dead, and it won't move at all."

"Won't move?"

My nervous heart calmed down a little, turned my head to look at the cyan face behind me, and observed it for more than ten seconds before I had the courage to walk back, and when I saw what this thing was up close, I couldn't help but gasp.

This thing that looks like a human face is actually a fruit hanging from a tree.

Its real face is large and small, with lifelike facial features on it, the nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, but the epidermis is green, and it looks almost indistinguishable from a real person from a distance.

"What the hell, it turned out to be the fruit of the tree!"

There was a false alarm, and I couldn't help but hold my chest and sigh again.

It's no wonder we're mistaken, this thing looks so realistic, not only does it have a "human face fruit" behind me, but there are also more dense human face fruits growing on the vines deep in the woods.

These immobile faces hung on the treetops like this, maintaining a numb and sluggish expression, which made my back chill and my heart beat faster.

I've never seen such a weird thing in my life, and I just want to pull Huizhen and leave as soon as possible.

But Hui Zhen didn't move, but observed these fruits that looked like human faces with a serious face, and said in a low tone,

"Looks like we've found a place."

Then he pointed to the intertwined human face fruits, took a deep breath, and said, "I heard Master say that in ancient times, some ethnic minorities would use very cruel human sacrifices, which simply means killing a large number of captives and slaves, and using their blood and corpses to preside over the sacrifice. ”

The slain slaves were angry and would wander around the tortured places, where the roots of the trees grew by absorbing the nutrients from the corpses.

But while absorbing the nutrients of the corpse, the resentment of those undead was also transferred to the big tree, which caused such a human face fruit to bear on the tree.

"The faces on these fruits may be the appearance of the martyrs before their deaths."

What?

Hui Zhen's words made my heart tremble, living sacrifice, how many people's lives have to be sacrificed to have such a scale?

"Anyway, it's indispensable!"

Hui Zhen shook his brain with a serious face, and pointed to the pit just now and said,

"My master told the old Taoist that there is a particularly evil Shura tomb in the back mountain, and it seems that the place where these faces and fruits grow is the area where the tomb owner used to be buried, and the entrance to the Shura tomb should be hidden under the pit."

"You're going in?"

I swallowed nervously, recalling the scene I saw Qin Tao under the pit just now, and I still felt a chill in my back.

Hui Zhen frowned and said, "Qin Tao is dead, the thing that really controls his body should be the evil fetus on his body, think about it, why did the evil fetus manipulate him to climb to this place?" ”

My heart tightened again, Xuan Zhenzi once analyzed that the reason why Widow Chen was able to give birth to such an evil corpse was because she was infected by the evil qi of the Shura Tomb.

This ghost cub should be planning to climb into the Shura tomb and continue to absorb the evil qi under the tomb, so as to strengthen himself.

Hui Zhen nodded, "Your analysis is correct, so the place where the evil fetus and Qin Tao appeared must be the entrance to the Shura Tomb, this ghost cub has already gone down, we have to hurry up and keep up." ”

"Okay!"

There is no other good way now, Xuan Zhenzi must have also entered the Shura Tomb, and we can only find them by following them down to the tomb.

After discussing the plan, I lit a white candle with a trembling hand, continued to illuminate the pit, and waited for a long time, but I didn't feel too obvious yin qi, and then I accompanied Huizhen to carefully drill into the pit.

Sure enough, there was a cave under the pit, and although the entrance was very narrow at first, as we continued to climb, we soon entered a huge karst cave.

The depths of the cave are covered with stagnant water, far less dry than above, and in many places the water is even more than a person's knee, and the water is extremely turbid and exudes a strong foul smell.

Hui Zhen tore off a piece of cloth from his coat, covered his nostrils and said,

"Zhou Xuan, be careful, I heard that there may be corpse qi accumulated under this big tomb, which will make people poisoned silently."

I hummed, and pulled out a yellow cloth that covered my cheek tightly.

Then we stumbled forward with the stagnant water under the cave, and after walking for about ten minutes, a very turbid dark river appeared in front of us.

The dark waterway was like a long snake that meandered, and we walked very carefully, and in many places the current did not even reach the top of our heads, and we had to swim to the other end.

This dark river is too long, and there are forks everywhere under the curtain, and I don't know where these forks will extend, I am more and more panicked, and I just wanted to remind Huizhen not to continue walking, but Huizhen found a step in the cave covered by water, pointed to the footprints on the steps and said,

"These footprints must have been left by my master, Zhou Xuan, let's work hard, we will be there soon!"

I looked at the stairs too, and sure enough, I found some wet footprints on the top of the stairs, and the blue stone steps continued to lead up to a place with no end in sight.

Hui Zhen and I paddled to the opposite bank, and finally climbed the steps and continued to walk for a while, the candle in my hand suddenly flickered, and was blown by the cold air blowing from the cave, not only the candle flame was shaking, but Hui Zhen and I also invariably started to swing.

Behind the stairs was a relatively wide passageway, the light was very dark, and the yin atmosphere here was particularly strong, so I walked with great caution with every step, and after about two minutes, I paused in front of a stone hall.

This stone hall is not big, it is black and shady, full of a lot of bottles and cans, I don't know what it is for, there are many dark red murals on the walls of the stone hall, but because the existence time is too long, the murals have long been dried and peeled off, and the actual content can not be seen at all.

I looked at the broken murals in a daze, and I felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in my heart, and when I turned around, I found Hui Zhen squatting in the corner of the stone hall, looking at a black jar of terracotta figurines.

The candlelight was dim, emitting a strange firelight, and after the lighting of the candle flame, the black jar emitted a strange light, I felt very uncomfortable, and walked to Hui Zhen's side and said,

"Fatty, what are you looking at?"

Hui Zhen pointed to the black terracotta figurines in front of him, frowned, and said, "The shape of this jar is very strange, and the seal is also covered with beeswax, and there is something underneath. ”

I asked Hui Zhen not to touch the things here, the atmosphere of the Shura Tomb is too weird, I can't imagine that there are also a lot of dirty things under the tomb, in case you violate the trap here, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Hui Zhen touched the back of his head and nodded, intending to accompany me out of the stone hall, but when he stood up, I heard a crisp "click", and when I looked closely, the black jar of terracotta figurines actually fell down without warning.
