Chapter 689 The pit room

The crack was very long, probably 1.45 meters long, as if a gap had been opened in the rocky mountain. When I stood under the waterfall, I could only see half of it, and the other half was completely submerged in water.

Brother Yaozi followed closely, leaned down and inspected it, his lips moved as if he was speaking, but his voice was drowned in the loud "rumbling" sound of the waterfall.

Seeing that I didn't really listen, Brother Yaozi straightened up and said loudly: "It's too dangerous. I said this gap is too dangerous!"

I nodded. This is different from the artificially dug robber cave. Although the robber cave is narrow, at least it is safe inside. If you know the root cause, you are not sure about the natural formation. The hole is so narrow that one has to turn sideways to get through it.

Go in, and you can't stand upright when you get inside, there is no room for movement, and it is filled with water. If there are potholes or cracks inside, then the water is not up to your legs. If you accidentally sink in, you will not be able to get out.

It's easy to get out, but if you don't protect everything, you'll drown in it.

However, you have to try it even if it’s dangerous!

Neither the tomb structure nor the surrounding environment allows us to dig the robbery holes ourselves.

"I'll take the lead!"

I turned around and shouted at Brother Kitale: "Everyone else is following behind, so that if you step on any potholes, the people behind you will be able to help you in time, and you can avoid them effectively!"

Brother Yaozi didn't hear clearly. I said it several times again before he understood what I meant. There was nothing to argue about. He nodded, turned around and waved to the others. Lao Bai and the others waiting on the shore started to express their gratitude.

Enter the water.

In fact, the most dangerous person is Xiaozhi, who is just a child. After entering, only the upper body from the shoulders is still on the water. In order to avoid accidents, Wushuang is asked to walk with her so that he can help her at critical moments.

I looked at it for a while to make sure I didn't miss anything, then I bent my knees and got in sideways.

This is actually a very dangerous posture. I can't stand straight, I can't lie down, and I can't even squat. It looks like squatting on a horse. A few of us can adapt to it. After all, it's what we have to do every day in the Zhenwu Temple.

Ling Ying, who was following behind, couldn't do the exercises, and her heavy breathing was accompanied by bursts of strange "snoring" sounds.

"Don't hold on, now is not the time to hold on!"

Lao Bai hurriedly reminded: "When you can't keep up with your physical fitness, put your knees against the front and relax for a while. We would rather slow down than hold on, especially you. Otherwise, you will injure your muscles over time, and you will be in front."

When something fatal happens, you are called a bad guy if you can't even run away. We can't just watch you die here. Who knows, everyone else will have to answer for it."

Ling Ying said softly "Hmm".

Lao Bai's words not only reminded Ling Ying, but also woke me up. I thought I was going to move forward, forgetting that I was taking Ling Ying with me on this trip, so I turned around and changed into a more comfortable position.

I asked him to take a rest for a while.

Brother Yaozi next to me pushed me and handed me a wet towel.

This thing came just in time. The gap was wet and stuffy, so there must be insufficient oxygen. I was covered in sweat and was listless. I put a wet towel on my face, rubbed it hard a few times, and then forced it out.

After some effort, I waited for a while and saw that everyone was almost rested before moving forward again. Fortunately, the narrow gap in front gradually widened a lot, which at least allowed people to twist their bodies without having to continue walking sideways.

Brother Yaozi noticed this change and said from behind: "It seems that it is almost over!"

Just as I was about to respond, I suddenly stepped on a cylindrical object. The object was extremely slippery, and it visibly moved when I stepped on it. I immediately lost my balance...

Almost at the same time, with a "crash" sound, a black figure sat up straight and came towards me. After I stabilized my body, a pale and swollen face was already close at hand.

The tip of his nose was almost touching my face. The light from the flashlights of Brother Yaozi and others behind him was swaying. When it shined on me, I could see that there was a layer of crystal oil on the swollen face. The eyes were wide open, and the pupils had become

It was milky white, the mouth was open, there were gaps between the teeth, and the tongue was covered with mud. I could even clearly smell the rotten smell and watery smell emanating from the other party.

However, it was just a sniff, and the instinct I had developed over a long period of time prompted me to hold my breath for the first time.

"ah!!!"

A shrill scream suddenly came from behind him.

I was not frightened by this dead man. On the contrary, I was almost knocked out of my head by Ling Ying's scream. I immediately retreated after I regained consciousness.

"Stop yelling, you're calling me mourning!"

Lao Bai's impatient voice came later: "It's just a dead man, not a big rice dumpling. What's your ghost name? Ghosts can't scare people to death, but people can scare them to death!"

Obviously, this guy was also startled by Ling Ying's shout.

My heartbeat is still accelerating, and it feels like it's jumping up to my throat. I hold my breath and carefully look at the corpse in front of me.

Indeed, this is either a big rice dumpling, just a swollen corpse. The eyeballs are about to pop out and have grown several times. He must have been dead for a while. If he hadn't been soaked in water, he would probably have died all over.

It was time to rot. He was wearing camouflage clothes. Due to the water soaking and the grease on the body, the clothes were pitch black. I guess I stepped on a joint or something, so the body suddenly sat up.

.

"This must be one of the tomb robbers sent by Tieguai Li, right? Sure enough, they all died in the tomb!"

Brother Yaozi said: "It seems that he was planning to escape, but he didn't escape!"

I covered my mouth and nose to prevent myself from causing any trouble if my Yang Qi passed away. I squatted down and carefully observed the body for a moment, and said softly: "There are bruises on the neck. It looks like he was strangled to death by being held down in the water."

!”

Apart from that, I didn't find anything else. The space here was limited and I couldn't move the body. I simply pressed the body and pushed it into the water again. I had no choice but to step on it.

However, after passing over the corpse, I kicked something again. After bending down to fish it out, I found a package of a medium size. It was full of dead bones, all white. This should be the bones of the dead in the tomb. The year

It has been a long time, and although the skin and flesh are no longer visible, the bones are relatively well preserved.

"These people..."

Brother Yaozi shook his head and said: "There are also corpse thieves who dig graves, but they are basically the ones that are particularly well-preserved or extremely rare. Like them, as long as they can use the bones of the dead, they will dig them out."

Not much."

I said: "There are not enough good things in the tomb, which cannot satisfy their appetite, so they can only start dumping people out. It is just right for them to fake these bones and make them pass down to generations!"

I took a look and found that the bones in the package did not come from one person. There were seven leg bones in it. It seemed that there were a lot of dead people in the tombs in front. They had scattered them and used whatever they could.

All the bones were picked out. I don’t know what happened to him. When he escaped, he was pushed into the water and strangled to death.

In this way, I have a rough idea of ​​what the tomb in front of me looks like. It is most likely a burial pit!!

The period when most people died should be the Shang and Zhou dynasties. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, there were basically fewer and fewer people. Especially in the Song Dynasty, although this dynasty was the weakest dynasty in feudal history, all the surrounding countries were defeated.

However, it was indeed an era with the strongest humanitarianism and the friendliest era to the people. There were very few tortures and human sacrifices basically disappeared. On the contrary, in the Liao and Qing Dynasties, human sacrifices began to reappear. That is,

It is said that there are usually no burial pits in Song Dynasty tombs, but the owner of this tomb is a bastard like Liu Yuan. It is normal for such pits to be found in tombs.

Generally speaking, there is some distance between the burial pit and the main tomb. It is rarely connected with the main body of the tomb, and it does not exist in the form of a tomb chamber. It is basically a pit where people are tied and beheaded and then pushed

Go in and fill it out.

From this point of view, this tomb is a bit strange. Since it collapsed, it means that there must be a tomb chamber in front of it. In this way, this unique burial pit is more intriguing.

While thinking about this, I continued to move forward. The cracks became wider and wider, and I could almost walk upright and calmly at the back. However, the water pouring in from the waterfall outside did not decrease, and it was still as deep as my legs. After a while, the front was in front of me.

It suddenly dawned on me that the collapsed tomb was already in front of me.

However, at this moment, a bone-chilling coldness enveloped us...
