Doomsday gangsters travel through the 50s

Chapter 318 Mysterious Tomb
If you want to find the source of snake worms, the first step is naturally to check the possibility of being recruited, and ask these people whether they have anything in common, such as whether they have been to the same place, or whether they have touched the same thing or even eaten it. over the same food.

The results of the inquiry were quickly counted. Except for Yu Feng who was still in a coma, the absence of him would not have much impact. The answers of the other ten people were enough for them to find out where the snake worm was.

In the end, after an inductive screening, one of the most likely places was determined. It turned out that all ten people had been to the same place for convenience, and this was the only suspicious point that overlapped.

"The urine has a certain temperature. The snake worms that entered their bodies were just hatched. It is estimated that the heat of the urine accelerated the hatching, and then they were recruited." Ji Wenlin really didn't want to go into the process of being recruited, but In order to let others understand, I simply explained and analyzed it to them.

Everyone also half-understood, but these are not important anymore. Now that the possibility has been found, it is necessary to avoid future troubles in the past. Yes, it is estimated that the end will be the same as the bones at the bottom of the pit.

After determining the target, he called a young man who had been tricked to lead the way. Ji Wenlin and Xia Yanru were still leading the team, and led six people straight to the hiding place of the suspected worm.

By the light of the torches, one could see at a glance that there was a collapse in the place they used as a temporary toilet. At first glance, it would not be noticeable, but with the reason of snake worms, Ji Wenlin and the others naturally would not ignore this strangeness.

"Go back and get the tools to dig." Ji Wenlin stared at the collapse and thought for a few seconds before deciding to dig it out.

"There's a big space inside." Xia Yanru has also detected the structure inside, but she didn't expect that there is a dark room hidden here, and she doesn't know whether it was formed naturally or excavated artificially.

Ji Wenlin also knew that Xia Yanru had a very special ability, so he naturally wouldn't doubt her words. At the same time, he was also thinking about what the dark room might be used for. It's better not what he thought, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle. .

After a while, the people who went back to get the tools returned again and brought a few more people. With so many people working at the same time, even if the soil and rock layer was behind, it was successfully dug after ten minutes until a hole that could accommodate two people was dug out. They stopped at the entrance of the cave and waited for Ji Wenlin's next order.

Ji Wenlin was not in a hurry to enter immediately, but stood outside and waited for about 3 minutes. After the air inside began to circulate, he waved his hand to let the two young men with torches enter first, while he and Xia Yanru followed closely behind. Stepped in.

There was a very unpleasant smell in the dark room, but compared to the refreshing water that Xia Yanru contributed before, the smell was not so unpleasant.

The dark room was very dry. After walking through a not-so-long dark passage, it was connected to a small stone room. In the center of the stone room stood a few wooden stakes, on which there were no visible patterns. flags, it can be seen that these things have been around for a long time, if they had not been kept in the dark room, they would have been weathered long ago.

"It seems to be a sacrificial stone, with an ear room on the left and right, and a dark room behind the wall." Xia Yanru walked around the wooden post, but found nothing special, and the wooden post could not tell the original color. , covered with a layer of dark brown, like dried blood.

Ji Wenlin followed Xia Yanru, and also noticed the wooden post. He leaned closer and sniffed it. A slight rusty smell entered his nostrils. It was obvious that the dark brown stains on the wooden post were blood, and judging from his experience, it was definitely human blood. undoubtedly.

"Go to the ear rooms on both sides first." Ji Wenlin dragged Xia Yanru to the left ear room first. He was not in a hurry to go directly to the dark room behind him, and he had to get a thorough understanding of the situation on the bright side first.

After instructing others not to touch it, Ji Wenlin took Xia Yanru into the left ear room, but found nothing special inside. There were some pottery pots on the floor, which looked a bit like a utility room for things. .

After coming out of the left ear room, the two went to the right ear room. They thought it was no different from the left ear room, but after going in, they found that if the left ear room was used as a funeral room, then the right ear room was In the main tomb, the skeleton in a sitting posture is very conspicuous.

"Respecting the right? It's rare. In the Western Han Dynasty, it should be respecting the right." Xia Yanru was also a half-expert. Seeing this scene, her first reaction was to analyze the time history of this tomb.

"Or some kind of minority customs." Ji Wenlin analyzed while inspecting the condition of the tomb.

"Looking at the costumes, it is true that they are not from the Han nationality. However, there are many ancient tribes in Shadu. I guess this person is from one of the tribes. It seems that he may be a priest or a wizard." Xia Yanru carefully studied the costumes on the bones. The color of the clothing is already unrecognizable, but the outline of the clothing can be roughly seen.

The reason for guessing that the identity of this bone may be a priest or a wizard is also combined with the wooden stakes outside, thinking that it will sit here, at least it will not be an ordinary person. According to the ancient burial system, even a very small number of people in ancient times Tribes and ordinary tribesmen will not have such regulated tombs.

"These murals are well preserved. Judging from the contents of the murals, this person should be a priest. He seems to be guarding something." Ji Wenlin had already arrived at the mural wall behind the corpse, and the colorful murals were surprisingly well preserved. .

Most of the murals that appear in tombs record the deeds of the tomb owner during his lifetime, and the murals in Shadu are especially famous. They use bright and bright colors to outline the characteristics of different eras, especially all the pigments in these murals are a very special kind. The rock color is easy to color and lasts for a long time.

"It seems that the thing he wants to guard should be in the dark room at the back. It is very likely that it is a snake worm." The mural did not actually explain what the priest was guarding, but it is not difficult to guess based on what happened before. Perhaps what he wants to guard is the snake worm.

Snake worms are considered extinct now, except for some ancient books and documents, you can still see descriptions of snake worms, and it should be difficult to see them from other popular literature.

According to Ji Wenlin's information, the snake worm is a mysterious species introduced from the Western Regions. It uses the bodies of other creatures as its host for survival. Hatchling worms.

As long as the snake worm is hatched, its life span will not be short. Once the shell breaks, it must immediately find a host to continue its life. However, many ancient books do not mention whether the snake worm has other functions.

However, Ji Wenlin knew very well that if this snake worm had no other functions, no one would have gone to great lengths to introduce it from the distant ancient country in the Western Regions. It can be seen that this snake worm must be hiding some unknown secret.
