In the tomb, it was quiet and bright, and there was nothing there.

The candlelight flickered and flickered, lengthening the shadows of the two standing at the door.

At this moment, it is difficult for the two of them to be called human beings. If other people saw it, they might think that they were ghosts.

"Here we are, go in and see if there is any jade pendant..."

As Yi Yun spoke, tears welled up from his eyes again.

"As long as I find the jade pendant, I can go home."

"My daughter..."

She stumbled forward, Lu Yanli stood beside her, and walked in together.

Only one extremely large coffin was placed in the center of the tomb.It is as tall as half a person.Outside the wall, reliefs are raised, and candlesticks are placed on the surrounding walls, and the candles flicker.

"How could it be? There are no funeral objects?" Yi Yun was still dumbfounded, unwilling to believe it, she screamed, "Impossible! There must be funeral objects!"

"Jade pendant... Jade pendant!!"

Lu Yanli followed her around to the back of the coffin, both of them were shocked in place at the same time.

Behind the coffin, there were about [-] corpses wearing the same uniform. Their flesh and blood were mutilated and almost rotting, and their faces in life were vaguely visible.

They can easily recognize that these corpses... are the archaeological team members who lived and died with them just now!

"How could this be? Aren't they all..." Yi Yun couldn't believe it, "Why did they appear here?"

Besides, everyone was infected with an unknown green fluorescent parasite, but these corpses were clean and there was nothing.

So, what was all that they had just been through?Are the archaeologists already dead?

Lu Yanli walked over slowly, and roughly estimated based on the degree of decay, these people had been dead for at least three days.

"Three days, so, they have already..." Yi Yun seemed to be talking to himself, or chatting.

Lu Yanli couldn't answer her question. Compared with the archaeologists, he wanted to know where the owner of the tomb went.

Before they could come to a conclusion, the tomb door slammed shut, startling Yi Yun.

At the same time, in the corner, a candle suddenly went out.It's like... someone stood by it and blew it out.

But neither of them have found it yet.

Yi Yun's eyes circled around the tomb.

Nowhere, then only...

She walked towards the coffin with strides, stretched out her hand that was almost made of bones, and pushed open the coffin lid little by little.

She found that the moment her hand was put on it, it began to rot, and the rate of decay was several times faster than before.

But Yi Yun didn't care anymore, and the speed of pushing the coffin lid was much faster.When her only remaining eye finally saw clearly what was inside the coffin, a scream that was on the verge of collapse escaped from her throat.

Lu Yanli followed, stood beside the coffin and looked over, and immediately understood why she collapsed.

The coffin is empty, nothing is there.

There is no corpse as they imagined, no funeral objects, and naturally no jade pendant.

It was as if the people inside had left.

"Why isn't there? We finally got here...why is there nothing?"

"I want to go back...my daughter is still waiting for me, she is so young...I want to go back..."

A green liquid with a strange smell flowed out of the eye sockets and fell into the coffin. Yi Yun stood there blankly for a long, long time before he began to think about what to do next.

Turning his head, Lu Yanli walked to the wall and stared at the relief murals on the wall.

"Lu Yanli, what are you looking at?" Yi Yun's eyes sparked with hope, "Is there something wrong with this relief? Isn't it?"

Lu Yanli also turned his head to look at her, his only eye was still as usual, so calm that there was no wave.He didn't say anything, just put down the bag behind his back, took out the painting scroll from it, and spread it on the ground.

He is perfecting the map.

After entering this tomb, he found that the degree of corruption of his body was gradually slowing down. Of course, he needed to hurry up.

Yi Yun wanted to rush over to tell him to stop drawing and look for the jade pendant together with her. She wanted to tear up the map, but in the end she didn't do anything, and walked around the tomb with the last sliver of hope.

A few candles in the corner were extinguished again.

Lu Yanli quickly finished drawing the map, which was not difficult for him. Then he put the map away, stood up, and looked around the tomb, trying to find some new clues.

"Mr. Lu, come and take a look." Yi Yun calmed down and waved to him, "The reliefs on the wall still have words, which look familiar."

"These words and images were translated by Team Cen." Lu Yanli recalled.

Team Cen told a story about a "god" and a "king", but he saw another "god" on the road just now. Could these two "gods" be the same?

He closed his eyes, recalling the text on the wall that Team Cen passed when he was translating just now.

The translation of single characters is simpler, one word for one sound, and comparing Cen Dui's narration with the text and graphics on the wall, Lu Yanli also found some rules.

"These reliefs are the same as the murals outside, so the text is not sure."

One candle was extinguished again, watching the route, slowly extending towards their direction.

Lu Yanli looked at it, and suddenly felt that something was not right.

Although the relief is exactly the same as the mural outside, the text shows something different.

In Team Cen's narrative, the "king" of the villagers and the "god" they enshrine are both kind and compassionate. They will protect the villagers, and the reason for hiding is either injured or falling into a deep sleep.

But the reliefs and text clearly gave diametrically opposite answers.Lu Yanli looked at it, and suddenly felt chills all over his body.

He knew something was wrong.

They walked from the outside to the inside, and the order of looking at the murals was naturally from the outside to the inside.

But what if...the real order is actually from the inside out?

Lu Yanli suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and slowly translated, his gaze was completely attracted by the relief in front of him.

Reversing the story told by Team Cen, it is...

"... There used to be a mountain. This mountain was very, very dangerous. People who lived in the mountain would be cursed. A group of people moved in to avoid the war, and they were unwilling to leave... Later, they found that their descendants also Being cursed, they had to secretly invite the Baojiaxian to pray for the preservation of the incense in the village, but they had to provide a large number of offerings to the Baojiaxian every year... Moreover, in order to bear the curse, they had to bury the dead in the forbidden area, Let the dead bear the curse of the living, so that they can live in peace..."

Yi Yun asked strangely: "Lu Yanli, what are you talking about?"

Lu Yanli's tone was rarely in a trance: "There may be another possibility for the village's secret."

He continued to look down and read softly.

"Later, outside wars became more frequent. Many people fled, and a group of troops came from nowhere. They had weapons. They wanted to find a place to bury their king. Under the leadership of the leader, There was also a war on both sides."

"It's a war between mortals, so Baojiaxian ignored it and just fell asleep... Some people fled desperately. When they went down the mountain, from the back mountain, the evil spirit that has been bearing their curse all along came out..."

"The evil spirit and Baojiaxian also fought. Later, the evil spirit was driven back to the back mountain, and Baojiaxian was much weaker. Before the next 60 years of reincarnation, the group of soldiers forced the villagers to build an underground palace. ..."

"The king was blessed by the gods before he was alive, and got one..." At this point, Lu Yanli's voice dropped, he turned his head, and looked at Yi Yun with his remaining eye, "He got a Pisces jade pendant, and it's also a jade pendant." There is a way to live forever."

Yi Yun, who was extremely sensitive to the term Pisces jade pendant, raised his head suddenly, squinting his eyes trying to see clearly the jade pendant on the relief.

"Yes, it can't be wrong...it must be..." She reached out to reach it, but she couldn't touch it at all. The tomb is too high and wide, and even the reliefs are several times larger than theirs. Standing on the ground, one can only look up It is a sculpture with several people's height.

Yi Yun began to beg Lu Yanli again: "Please, can you put me up there? I need that jade pendant." Otherwise, she couldn't reach it at all.

Lu Yanli did not agree.

Even if the heights of the two of them were added together, they wouldn't be able to reach it, not to mention that it wasn't a Pisces jade pendant, it was just a sculpture.After he said this fact, he continued to look down.

"The king was buried in the mountain as he wished, and he was also buried with a lot of treasures. The soldiers killed many, many villagers to be buried with him. They firmly believed that in this way, their king could be resurrected. Loyal soldiers have been guarding the village, waiting After 60 years, their king will be revived."

"Because they killed too many people, the number of evil spirits in the back mountain was increasing. In order to curb those evil spirits, they used the method of living sacrifices to sacrifice to the Baojiaxian invited by the villagers, so that those wild immortals could fight against the evil spirits."

"The five immortals hated their king and were unwilling to protect them, so the soldiers thought of a way... They found a boy from the village, they claimed that the boy was the reincarnation of their king, and gave him the best silk and satin, so that He eats the best food, builds him a throne..."

"The little boy's family thought that he had a good life, so he agreed quickly, but his sister was unwilling. The soldiers were very patient, and slowly enshrined the little boy as their king for a whole year until the next year. During the sacrifice, they want that boy to replace their king and let him bear the curse..."

"The boy's family found out. After discussing it, they swapped the boy's and girl's names and birthdays, and asked the younger sister to replace the older brother..."

"...the girl was thrown into the river to sacrifice, and the Baojiaxians hated the king, so that girl was tortured..." Lu Yanli stared at the relief, which showed a girl standing in the blood river surrounding the village, showing half of her body image, surrounded by shouting people.

"The soldiers didn't know that they were afraid of the girl's revenge, so they nailed her into a coffin so that she could not enter the back mountain after she died. After the sacrifice that year, the Baojiaxian invited by the villagers let out a sigh of relief because he was still weak. Among them, I can only find a girl to descend upon the spirit..."

Lu Yanli recalled the scene of Shangxian Village.

The younger sister took the place of the older brother.

Isn't this the story of Zhang Huixuan?

That's why the younger sister hates her brother and everyone in the village, including the Baojiaxians who guard the village.

Behind them, the candles were more than half extinguished.Lu Yanli was completely immersed in the story of the relief, while Yi Yun was climbing hard, trying to grab the jade pendant carved from stone.

Lu Yanli took a step back and found a smaller relief in the corner.

It was a little boy who was digging a grave.

In the next scene, he opened the small coffin buried in the grave and pulled out a nail.

In the third scene, he buries the coffin back.

So Zhang Huixuan had the chance to escape, right?Only then did she have the chance to kill everyone, including Bao Jiaxian who possessed Lili.Is this my brother's last bit of guilt, or just curiosity?Lu Yanli didn't know.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that something was wrong behind him.

Light faded?

Just as he was about to turn his head back, a strong palpitation immediately surged up, and his intuition told him——I can't turn back!

Behind, what is it?

A huge shadow slowly appeared in front of him, covering Lu Yanli's original shadow.The shadow is still getting bigger, it should be that the owner is gradually approaching.

"Yi Yun! Be careful! Come down quickly!" Lu Yanli looked up.

Yiyun had already climbed to a very high place.

The burial does slow down the rate of decay, but it doesn't stop it.Most of the flesh on her body had already rotted away, revealing a green skeleton and densely packed fungus parasitic on it.Being able to survive until now is all due to a single effort. Hearing Lu Yanli calling her, Yi Yun was about to bow his head, but the latter said, "Don't look! Come down from the other side!"

Since the unknown monster behind him had such a huge body, it was useless to climb up to a high place.Thinking about it, Lu Yanli calculated the distance between himself and the coffin behind him, and threw the scroll in his hand backwards vigorously, only to hear a muffled sound with an echo, and it just fell into the coffin.

Then he limped forward without looking back.

However, the chill coming from behind has not diminished in the slightest, and he can almost smell the decayed aura that seems to have been buried for thousands of years.

How to do?

He is already standing in front of the relief, forward?There was no way forward, unless he climbed up like Yi Yun and hid behind the relief.

The candles placed in the tomb continued to be extinguished, and the shadow behind him gradually became darker, no... the whole tomb was darkened, and in the darkness, the faces of the relief sculptures gradually became eerie.

It is conceivable what will happen after the tomb is completely dark.

Yi Yun had already climbed to the vicinity of that "king".

Her body was rotten badly, and a long fluorescent line was dragged out in the darkness.Yi Yun reached out to reach for the carved Pisces jade pendant.At this moment, all she could see was the jade pendant.

She didn't take it off.

It was a stone carving, cast tightly in the hands of the "king".

"No...don't...I found it with great difficulty, I finally..." Yi Yun burst into tears, and stretched out both hands to take off the Pisces jade pendant carved from stone.

She failed.

The legs were already severely corroded, and one of them failed to stand firmly. She fell from the top of the relief and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Then, her breath gradually weakened, her eyes were still wide open, she was staring fixedly at the top of the relief, trying to see what she was looking for from the darkness.

Lu Yanli listened closer, and could still hear her faint voice.

"Jade pendant... my daughter..."

The cold breath approached behind him, almost clinging to the human body, and a creepy feeling of heart palpitations descended.

Before that breath came down completely, Lu Yanli stretched out his hand and put it on Yi Yun's neck.

Turn around.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a museum. Parents took their children to visit the museum, enjoying themselves.
