Wizard Academy

The truth of the world is often buried in the invisible underground, buried very deep by the wind and sand of the years.

Jiang Zhu didn't believe in this before, there are so many unknown things in this world, but now he has to believe.

Jiang Zhu took out his mobile phone and dialed 110.

"I'm going to call the police."

"This is the hanging coffin scenic spot on the cliff of the Yellow River. The sarcophagus on the cliff fell."

"A dead corpse crawled out of it, it... is biting people to pieces."

After Jiang Zhu finished speaking, he hung up the phone, because... even he thought he was a lunatic.

Screams and cries came together, the desire for life, the fear of desperation, all kinds of reactions.

They resisted and struggled, but it didn't work. The dead corpse seemed to have infinite power, no matter how hard it was, it couldn't be killed.

In the end, these young people decided to lure away the corpses for the elderly, children, and women, hoping...to survive some, and to tell everyone the incredible experience they saw, as a warning, and to be in awe of the unknown.

But now, everything is over, and they were forced to a closed canyon with nowhere to escape.

"What should we do now?" A few people also acted bravely for a while, relying on their blood for a while, they made heroic actions, and now they are only left with fear and paleness.

"We just died like this, and we don't know if anyone will remember us." Even remorse appeared on some people's faces, which is also human nature.

"Hehe!" It seemed that he could hear a roar like a broken bellows, like the hiss of a monster, it was the dead corpse not far away.

The reason why they can escape until now is because every time the dead corpse kills a person, it must tear the person into pieces, and wait for the rotten flesh on the ground to lose its last vitality before continuing to chase the next person.

The scene was like purgatory, making people sick. There were originally a dozen people in the team they led away with the dead corpses, but now there are only five people left. They saw with their own eyes the whole process of the death of those who did not follow.

Scene after scene that hit the soul directly, they didn't even have the will to resist at all, and they would rather die than see the scene of withered corpses again.

The psychological defense line has collapsed. The reason why it has not yet collapsed is because the current desperate situation makes everyone's nerves tense. Jiang Zhu is sure that the mental torture will begin when he relaxes.

Jiang Zhu was quite calm. He grew up in an orphanage. He has experienced unimaginable coldness and warmth. He is also the best at observing words and emotions. He glanced into the depths of the canyon, "There seems to be a cave there, let's go in and hide."

Closed valley, this is their only retreat.

The cave is a little dark and narrow.

Just about to squeeze into the depths of the cave, "The entrance of this cave is small, we will block it with stones, maybe we can delay the rescue for some time."

Jiang Zhu couldn't help looking at the person who spoke. This person was named Ji Yan, a young man who had just retired from the army after hearing about it, and it was his proposal to lure away the corpses and leave more people alive.

There are rocks next to it, which should have been shaken down during the landslide, just like the sarcophagus that was shaken off the cliff of the Yellow River. The entrance of this cave may also be revealed because of the landslide.

The five people hurriedly beat up the stone pile.

When the stone pile sealed the entrance of the cave, the light in the cave became even more dim.

"Hey, there seem to be paintings on the wall."

Jiang Zhu took out his phone and turned on the flashlight function.

The murals on the wall are very old, and the content can barely be seen. It depicts the process of sewing human heads and beast bodies together to form a new monster, as if performing some evil ritual.

"It is said that there were gods in ancient times, and most of the gods showed people in the form of human heads and beast bodies. Therefore, in order to express their longing for the gods, the ancient ancestors would cut off the heads of the tribesmen after their death and sew them on the bodies of wild animals. It can be regarded as a custom in the tribal period."

"The murals should be the customs recorded."

The speaker was a young man wearing glasses, gentle and shy.

"My name is Zhou Tongwen, a student in the Department of History, and I usually like to study these ancient customs."

Jiang Zhu and the other five continued to walk deep into the cave with the help of the light of their mobile phones. The skin and flesh of the dead corpse had dried up and stuck to the bones, and the eyes had dried up and turned into two sunken black holes. It is not the eyes that should be used to chase people. So the farther they are from the corpse, the less likely they are to be chased.

The cave was only big enough for one person to pass through, but it was much deeper than expected.

The murals on the walls are continuous.

"Such a large and magnificent mural is also very rare among the murals that have been discovered."

"It is simply a historical miracle and has great archaeological value."

Zhou Tongwen muttered.

Jiang Zhu sighed, he is really a nerd, when will this be of historical miracle and archaeological value, it is unknown whether they will survive.

Jiang Zhu also glanced at the mural, and stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yan, who walked at the end to cut off the back of several people, asked.

Jiang Zhu pointed to the mural, "Look, the mural has changed."

The picture on the mural turned into a picture of a battle. In the sky was a monster with a human head and a bird body. It should be the type of monster that was stitched together with a human head and a beast's body.

On the ground are sarcophagi one after another, and countless dead corpses are crawling out of the sarcophagi, fighting with the monsters in the sky.

The five of them were silent. If they hadn't encountered the dead corpse before, they might just feel that the mural is full of whimsical ideas and admire the unconstrained imagination of ancient humans.

"This mural records the history that really happened, right?"

"We've seen the corpses in the sarcophagus. Doesn't it mean that monsters with human heads and beast bodies really exist? What are they? Are they really stitched monsters?"

how can that be?Modern medicine has only proposed the concept of head replacement, not to mention the incredible cross-species thing of combining human heads and animal bodies.

The contents of the murals are truly shocking and unbelievable.

But not only Jiang Zhu, but several other people also felt that there might really be an unknown history that actually existed, but for some unknown reason, it was sealed forever, and it was not revealed to the world until now. Open its true corner.

No one knows whether the unknown history is good or bad for the current people, and it is difficult to breathe.

At this time, there was a sudden "bang bang" sound, which was particularly clear in the narrow cave. It was the sound of stone piles being pushed down and falling to the ground.

The hearts of the five trembled a bit, but they still caught up.

"go!"

Going forward, I don't care about any murals anymore.

After walking for about 5 minutes, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear, it was a huge space embedded in the mountain.

"It doesn't look like it was formed naturally."

If it was excavated by hand, how could such a large project be possible with the backward tools and productivity in ancient times?

The space in front of me is very large and the light is very dark. You can vaguely see that the ground is a platform extending into the dark distance, and the surrounding area of ​​the platform is actually a bottomless abyss. Of course, it may be because the light is too dark to see the bottom.

"It's really weird."

"Who built this? What is the purpose of the construction?"

"Even in modern times, such a project can be called an engineering miracle."

Jiang Zhu took a look around and continued along the platform.

Ji Yan said, "Be careful."

Jiang Zhu didn't answer.

The others were silent for a moment, and then followed. They had no way out.

To some extent, the psychological shadow of the corpse has surpassed the fear of the unknown.

After walking for about 2 minutes, we reached the end of the platform. .

"There is no way?"

"It's like a platform protruding from a cliff, what's the point?"

Jiang Zhu walked in the front with the furthest line of sight. In front of him, there was actually a large stone platform on the platform. Because the stone platform was dark, it was not obvious in the dark.

Jiang Zhu thought, altar?

What is it used for sacrifice?

The stone platform in front of him was so dark that it was a little fuzzy, and it was even more difficult to see clearly in the dim light.

But on the stone platform, there seems to be some dim light flickering, which looks a little strange.

Mirror?The light reflected by the mirror?Or some ore that can reflect weak light?

Jiang Zhu couldn't help stretching out his hand to explore it, but just touching the dim light, his entire palm was plunged into the boiling oil.

Stinging, hurting into the soul.

Because of Jiang Zhu's special upbringing, his personality is particularly forbearing, but at this moment, the feeling of pain piercing his bones still made him unable to help but cry out in pain.

Several people gathered around, "What's wrong?"

"hand!"

Someone took out his phone and took a picture.

Jiang Zhu was so painful that his muscles were convulsed, but when he opened his eyes to look at the palm, he was taken aback. There was no burn or burn, and the palm was fine, but there was an extra tattoo pattern of "door" on the palm, where the sun, moon and stars flowed into it. The color is very deep and very conspicuous.

"It's the first time I've seen someone get tattoos on their palms."

Jiang Zhu: "..."

what happened?

He's pretty sure he doesn't have a penchant for tattooing, and he didn't have one on his palm before entering the cave.

In other words, it appeared after he touched the stone platform for sacrifice just now, so what is this, the tattoo technique of ancient ancestors?

Still in a daze, suddenly a "hehe" sound came into his ears.

The speed was very fast, and before he could react, a ferocious black figure rushed over, his nose was filled with the smell of carrion and strong blood.

The pupils shrank violently, it was that dead corpse!

The light of the phone fluttered.

Jiang Zhu originally walked in the front, but now several people stepped forward to see what happened to him, and instead exposed him to the corpse.

The feeling of the flesh and blood being sliced ​​apart, I just saw the strange power of the dead corpse to cut gold and cut stones, but now I can feel it personally.

dying!I truly experienced the horror in the hearts of those who just died.

The roar of the dead corpse was like a monster, making people so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to move.

At this time, a figure suddenly bumped into the withered corpse, pulling it with all its strength.

It's Ji Yan!

But manpower can't be compared with monsters. In almost an instant, Ji Yan's arm was scratched by the claws of the dead corpse with several blood holes deep enough to show the bone, and the wound was in a mess, like chopped tofu.

Jiang Zhu was stunned, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He tried his best to get up, hugged the corpse by the waist, pushed Ji Yan away with all his strength, and then fell into the abyss.

Because he has known the cold and warm since he was a child, he is more grateful than anyone else to those who held the umbrella for him when he was in the rain.
