Tomb robbing: only one person can do it
Chapter 35 Living Figurine——
"The road we are going to take is a waterway. You must be prepared for this hole, which may not be easy to walk through." The black blind man's face was slightly solemn.
?Xie and Fatty looked at each other's expressions. After all, the other party always smiled meanly before. It was the first time they saw him showing such an expression, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Heixiazi led a few people to a bamboo forest. Xie was a little confused: "Heixiazi, why did you bring us here?"
The blind man didn't answer. He took off his backpack, took out a knife, a bundle of climbing ropes and some buckles, and said, "Let's make a bamboo raft. How can we travel by water without a boat?"
After saying that, he picked up the fat bamboos with a machete and chopped them. The little brother looked at Qinghuai and said calmly: "Grab the corner of my clothes. If it hurts, bear with it. It will be quick."
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out the ancient black gold knife and cut away the bamboo branches, and the division of labor between the two was immediately clear.
Qinghuai grabbed his brother's clothes. It hurt a little. Although he didn't hold it as well as his brother, he could still bear it.
After the last buckle was fastened, Hei Xiazi put away the knife and said, "This bamboo raft should have no problem carrying us there."
Seeing the hands held by the younger brother and Qinghuai, he raised his eyebrows with dark eyes and whistled: "Mute, you... Hongluan star has moved?"
When Xie heard this sentence, he thought of something inexplicably. He felt helpless as if the heroine of the sadistic novel had been framed, and he continued to explain it desperately.
The black blind man said "Oh" indifferently, and then said: "Are you here to find the Muchen Bead to lift the curse?"
"Otherwise, why would anyone come here if they have nothing to do?" the fat man said angrily.
The black blind man shook his head, smiled and said nothing.
The black blind man dragged the bamboo raft into the cave with a rope. As soon as a few people entered, there was a roar of thunder and it began to rain heavily.
This is a limestone cave. As soon as you enter the cave, you find that it is a shallow stream. The water is about three meters deep and flows slowly.
?Xie and Fatty turned on their flashlights and looked into the depths of the pitch-black cave. They found that there were various levels inside, and the surrounding rocks had all kinds of strange shapes.
Except for the sound of gurgling water, the entire cave was extremely silent for a while. The blind man rowed a bamboo pole aside, and slowly the bamboo raft entered the depths of Zhilong Mountain.
When encountering a narrow place, Heixiazi used bamboo poles to support the rocks on the bottom of the water to balance the bamboo raft. A bamboo raft floated zigzag on the water.
Different from the hot and humid weather outside, the deeper inside the cave you can only feel the gloomy wind, and from time to time there are green phosphorus fires that flicker on and off.
There were obviously some aquatic animals in the water. When ?
The fat man said a strange "Huh" and said, "Is it my imagination? I always feel like the water flow is getting faster."
"It's not an illusion, fat man." After Xie said this, he took out a short pole and helped maintain balance.
Suddenly the surroundings became much wider, and the flashlight's illumination range was limited. Only strange-shaped stalactites could be seen. Some looked like ferocious beasts, some looked like Guanyin Bodhisattva, and some looked like cranes with fairy air. I just feel dazzled and marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the water surface shimmered like a silver ocean.
A huge red stone bead appeared in front of me. The bead was actually suspended in mid-air. Behind the stone bead, there was a lifelike statue of a red snake with its bloody mouth open. The river flowed into the giant snake's mouth, and the river course happened to be at In its mouth, the giant snake reveals two sharp teeth, making people always feel like it is the door to hell.
?Xie and Fatty couldn't help but clenched their hands. Qinghuai was so scared that he almost hung up on his little brother. At this moment, his face was buried in his arms, his whole body was trembling and he said, "I'm afraid."
The younger brother patted Qinghuai on the back and said calmly: "I'm here."
For some reason, Qinghuai felt inexplicably not so scared anymore. He raised his head, blinked, nodded and said "Yeah".
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~~" The black blind man, ?xie and the fat man looked at each other with blank expressions, and the three of them looked at each other speechlessly.
"Eh?"? Xie pointed the flashlight behind the giant snake and saw countless stone figurines. The characteristics were basically the same as what Bada said before. Thinking of the maggots Bada mentioned before, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.
The fat man's tone was a little surprised: "So many?"
However, there was no room for a few people to think too much. The bamboo raft had already entered the mouth of the giant snake along the current. The red stone beads hanging in mid-air were located very low, blocking the way of a few people.
Several people quickly lay down and clung to the bamboo raft to avoid the stone beads. This river is a bit narrow, unlike the previous twists and turns, it goes straight forward.
Hei Xiazi used a bamboo pole to poke the stones on the cave wall from time to time to slow down the bamboo raft so that he could observe the stone figurines hanging upside down in the cave.
These stone figurines have different postures, and the appearance of men and women cannot be seen. The surface has turned gray-brown, and the facial features are completely blurred. The height seems to be tall or short, fat or thin. In addition to some young adults, there seemed to be some underage teenagers of various ages.
The general stone figurines are sergeants and performers, but these stone figurines are not, and I don’t know what standards they were made according to.
On the roof of the cave, rusty bronze chains hang these stone figurines on both sides of the river. Perhaps because of time, some bronze chains have fallen off, and some stone figurines have fallen into the water. The stone figurines on both sides of the river look like hanged ghosts, which makes people feel frightened.
The fat man said nervously: "These stone figurines look quite realistic, don't they?"
The black blind man looked at the stone figurines and frowned slightly: "Of course they are realistic, these are not stones."
The fat man wondered: "It's not a stone? What is that? Mud?"
Heixiazi said: "Have you ever heard of living human figurines? Wrap a living person in a layer of gauze, seal it with soil, and then put it in a kiln and bake it with fire. These people are all burial objects."
"That's why there are all kinds of maggots inside these stone figurines, and those gray-brown ones are dead maggots from decay."
Fatty and Xie suddenly looked a little ugly, and Fatty murmured: "Aren't all figurines made of clay?"
The black blind man smiled and said: "This should be the ancient evil and notorious Gu art of Wu Xian Kingdom."
? Xie said with some confusion: "If it is the Gu art of Wu Xian Kingdom, why are the appearance of these stone figurines made by Han Dynasty? It doesn't make sense."
"Who knows, maybe we'll find out later." Hei Xiazi said calmly.
The little brother suddenly said: "The last king of Wu Xian Kingdom was called Wu Zhe. His voodoo technique used the souls of the dead as the medium. The more wronged souls there are and the stronger the resentment, the greater the power of this 'vood technique'. The expressions on these stone figurines, as well as the manner of death, show that these people suffered unimaginable torture before they died."
?Xie said: "Is this a secret place for Wu Xianguo to practice?"
The black blind man answered: "I guess these stone figurines should be the slaves and craftsmen who built the royal tomb. In order to protect the secrets of the 'Wuxian Kingdom', these people were killed by their subordinates after the completion of the work or after the body of the owner of the tomb was buried. They were poisoned, then made into living figurines, and then hung in caves. These people were suffocated to death. "
The fat man was a little helpless: "What does the king of Wu Xian Kingdom want? What do you think people in the past had and what kind of aesthetics they had? They made their tombs like this. If you lie here after your death, you won't be afraid of being killed by the wronged souls."
?Xie glanced at the fat man and said, "So this is the difference between you and those people. You will never have such a big tomb in your life."
Fatty:…………
The black blind man laughed and said: "The so-called 'Voodoo' is a pill in which the eggs of the voodoo are sealed. After a living person eats it, it only takes less than seven days for the voodoo to hatch and then continue to produce eggs." Eggs, and then people will be used as nutrients for the growth of voodoo insects. When the people are eaten, these voodoo bugs can take their place."
After hearing Hei Xiazi's words, Xie and Fatty understood why these stone figurines were empty. It turned out... vomit...
Qinghuai was already in his little brother's arms and was too scared to open his eyes, and his whole body was trembling.
