Tomb Keeper: My clone is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Chapter 105 When three people entered the corridor, why were there four kinds of footsteps?Why does this staircase have no end?
Gollum!

At this moment, Zhang Defu came back to his senses, looked at Feng Taichu and asked, "What do you think happened just now?!"

This time, even his tone stuttered.

There is no way, even if he has lived for more than 50 years, Zhang Defu has never seen such a situation.

In the past, the most he had ever seen was a giant zongzi transformed into a corpse, but Yang Xue's situation just now had clearly gone beyond this level.

After hearing his inquiry, Feng Taichu also shook his head.

To be honest, Guanshan Taibao has never encountered such a thing even if he is well versed in all kinds of witchcraft in the world.

Especially for him, he had never been to any other tomb before entering the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

How can one explain such a bizarre thing?

"It looks like that Yang Xue is not a zongzi!"

At this moment, Liu Fuxiang suddenly said: "If it is Zongzi, she should at least have signs of corpse transformation."

Hearing this, both of them nodded.

But if according to this theory, Yang Xue did not turn into a zongzi, wouldn't he be a so-called ghost?
ghost!

Thinking of this possibility, the three people present could not help but feel chills running down their spines.

"Is she a ghost?"

Thinking of the key point, Feng Taichu couldn't help but said: "If you think about it carefully, maybe this is really possible."

"Yang Xue also entered the tomb together last time, and it can be said that she was full of resentment when she died!"

"If she hadn't transformed into a corpse, she might have turned into an innocent spirit and wandered in this tomb forever."

After hearing these words, the two people present felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is so evil!
If the people who die here don't transform into corpses, might they turn into wronged souls and be trapped in the tomb forever?

This is more painful than dying here!
and many more!

Just as he was thinking of this, Zhang Defu suddenly frowned and said: "If Yang Xue becomes an injustice, then she may not be able to be controlled by Xu Bowen!"

"Do you think she has been guiding us into the safe area of ​​the tomb?"

what?
Hearing his analysis, Feng Taichu and both of them frowned.

If you think about it carefully, maybe there is such a possibility.

After death, a person turns into an innocent soul because his greatest obsession during his lifetime is to hope that someone can crack Xu Bowen's method.

So, if you say this, Yang Xue may be guiding them into a safe area!

but
Several people then thought that the staircase in front of them might be a murder trick created by Xu Bowen.

If Yang Xue was really guiding them, why did they enter this staircase?
Isn't this leading them towards death?
When they thought of this, the three of them were puzzled.

But when the people in the Exploration Bureau heard their statement, they all began to analyze it.

"Do you think that Yang Xue is a ghost?"

"Zibuyu is strange and chaotic!"

"Not necessarily. There are even big rice dumplings transformed into corpses in this tomb. I don't think it's impossible for ghosts to appear!"

"Yes! After all, after death, there is nothing left?"

"That's right! Who can prove that people will disappear after death? Maybe after death, people will just continue to exist in some unknown form?"

"I think this is also possible. After all, no one has ever seen such a thing as a ghost? So no one can guarantee what a ghost is and in what form it continues to exist in this world!"

For a time, everyone in the exploration bureau began to violate their own atheism, and some even started to give examples using their own personal experiences.

Sometimes, strange things like this do happen.

For example, before some old people die, their children, descendants or partners will dream about the old people saying goodbye to them.

Perhaps this is the soul conveying information to the living in some way.

Gollum!

At this time, even Wu Tianqi hesitated.

Yes!

Who can tell me clearly what a ghost is?
In what form can it reappear in front of people's eyes?
If no one can prove it, maybe Yang Xue, who just disappeared under the stairs, is really the wronged soul after his death?

If this is the case, then Yang Xue may actually guide the three people in the tomb to a safe area.

Feng Taichu also had the same idea about this.

Although the corridor in front of us is not recorded in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map, it may not have been created by Xu Bowen.

Perhaps, it was just that the people who entered the tomb last time did not come to this area, but this time they accidentally avoided the six-winged centipede's nest and came here instead.

Thinking of this, several people looked at each other with bewildered eyes.

At the same time, they also saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to give it a try.

That's right!

If Feng Taichu used the Coffin Mountain Pointing Mystery Technique, he might be able to pass through the stairs and enter the back area from this tomb passage.

But even if you enter there, you will only be closer to the main tomb.

After all, they were still in the depths of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, bumping around like headless flies.

The situation just now was an opportunity, and if their bet was right, there might be a direct path to the main tomb from this staircase.

"Want to give it a try?" Thinking of this, Zhang Defu couldn't help but ask.

"I listen to Feng Taichu!" Liu Fuxiang also looked at the latter.

At this time, Feng Taichu took a deep breath, and then said: "Try it, after all, this may be an opportunity to go directly to the main tomb!"

"If we miss it, we might just be wandering around the tombs."

"And even if there is no way out below, as long as we return the way we came, we can continue to move deeper into the tomb!"

Row!
That's it!
The three of them hit it off immediately, and they didn't want to miss this opportunity.

In this case, after making up their mind, they checked whether there was any mechanism near the corridor.

After confirming that there was no danger, they walked on cautiously.

"Let's be careful."

"If our choice is wrong, then this staircase is most likely a trap set by the tombkeeper."

"If the mechanism is triggered, in such a narrow space, we may not even have a place to dodge!"

Although there seemed to be no mechanism around the stairs, Zhang Defu couldn't help but remind the other two people.

Hearing this, the two of them nodded.

The corridor was eerily quiet. The three of them walked down cautiously. Zhang Defu would pay careful attention to his surroundings every time he passed a step.

However, there seems to be nothing unusual in this corridor.

Not only did no mechanism be triggered, but there was also no movement.

It just looks eerie and a little scary.

Upon noticing this situation, Zhang Defu's expression became more solemn.

Because this staircase is part of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, no matter whether it was built by the Qin people or Xu Bowen, it was impossible for them to make a decoration and place it here.

While thinking about it, the three of them continued walking down. After about 2 minutes, they had gone down three flights of stairs.

Looking up, the entrance to the cave has been blocked and cannot be seen.

Under this situation, if nothing unexpected happens, they should continue walking down and reach the deepest part of the corridor soon.

I just don’t know if there will be a direct entrance to the main tomb.

For a moment, several people felt a little expectant.

But only Feng Taichu always felt that something was wrong.

From the moment he entered this corridor, he always felt like something was staring at him from behind, and that feeling made him feel like a light on his back.

It seemed that if he made one wrong move, he might be doomed.

But there’s nothing weird about this corridor, right?

and many more?

At this moment, Feng Taichu suddenly noticed that the footsteps in the corridor were a little chaotic.

It was obviously the three of them who came in, but there were more footsteps than there were people.

"what happened?"

Sensing something unusual about him, Zhang Defu hurriedly asked. He knew that Feng Taichu had always had a keen sense of such strange things!

"Something is wrong"

Feng Taichu looked around, and then said: "I always feel that after we enter the corridor, something seems to be staring at us."

what?
Hearing this, Zhang Defu and others were stunned.

This was not the first time they heard Feng Taichu say this. He had been saying it before, as if something was following them.

Moreover, they had seen with their own eyes Yang Xue running in from the entrance of the corridor.

"Could it be Yang Xue?" Zhang Defu frowned and said, "If it is her, maybe she will always follow us."

But after hearing his inquiry, Feng Taichu shook his head and said, "I don't think that's the case, because in addition to this feeling of light on my back, I also heard the sound of footsteps."

"This is wrong. There were three of us coming in, but I heard the footsteps of the fourth person!"

what? !

Hearing this, it was Zhang Defu's turn to be surprised this time.Because they had guessed before that Yang Xue might be an innocent soul, and if it was a ghost, how could there be footsteps?
But if it weren't for Yang Xue, what else would be staring at them in this corridor?

They saw with their own eyes that Yang Xue ran in from outside.

Feng Taichu was also surprised by this situation.

But he definitely heard it right, because from the beginning, he had been paying attention to the footsteps of several people when they came in.

Yes, he could actually hear the sound of a fourth pair of feet hitting the ground.

At first he thought it was an echo, but after listening carefully for a while, he felt that the voice was very real.

Thinking of the key point, Feng Taichu motioned for them to continue moving forward, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "When I reach out my hand, the three of us will stop at the same time. You guys also listen carefully."

Zhang Defu and Zhang looked at each other and nodded heavily in agreement.

So, the three of them began to continue walking down, and this time their speed was obviously much slower than before.

Then, just after they continued to walk down two floors, Feng Taichu suddenly stretched out his hand.

Suddenly, Zhang Defu and the two stopped immediately.

For a moment, the corridor became quiet again, and after the footsteps of the three people disappeared, other sounds actually appeared in this narrow corridor.

pat~pat~
The sound was short and urgent, and it sounded like after the three people stopped, the thing didn't have time to react and took another two steps forward.

Moreover, all three of them clearly heard that the footsteps were definitely not the echo in the corridor, but the sound of someone actually stepping on the stairs.

Upon noticing this situation, the three of them unconsciously became quiet.

"what happened"

Suddenly hearing the extra footsteps, Liu Fuxiang couldn't help lowering his voice and spoke.

But Feng Taichu and the other two also shook their heads in confusion.

They hurried back to back, using the flashlights in their hands to shine towards the upper and lower floors of the corridor.

For a moment, I saw nothing unusual where they came in.

I can't see anything on the stairs going down.

But although they couldn't see anything, they definitely heard the strange footsteps just now!

But the key is, if Yang Xue is a ghost, how can there be footsteps?
Could it be that when they came in before, something else followed them?
Thinking of this, I looked behind me and used the light of my flashlight to find out.

At the same time, everyone in the Exploration Bureau was also confused.

"What happened? Did anyone see something following them in?"

"I didn't see it! But if nothing followed, where did the footsteps just come from?"

"Could it be Yang Xue?"

"But if Yang Xue is a ghost, how come there are footsteps?"

"But if it's not Yang Xue, how can we explain it? Furthermore, no one has seen the ghost. How can you be sure that the ghost has no footsteps?"

"Anyway, I think this corridor is getting more and more evil!"

At this moment, the three people on the stairs saw nothing.

Upon noticing this situation, Zhang Defu and the other three frowned.

Nothing at all?

But where did the footsteps come from?

If Yang Xue's ghost has footsteps, it can basically confirm that she has an entity.

But if there is an entity, why not just show up and help them?
"In the beginning!"

Thinking of the key point, Zhang Defu suggested: "How about we go up first and then talk about it?"

After hearing his suggestion, Feng Taichu and Liu Fuxiang also nodded.

It's not that they are timid, but the inexplicable sound of footsteps on the stairs is really too weird.

Apparently three people came in, but there were actually the footsteps of four people!
Moreover, if Yang Xue was a ghost, he would not make a sound.

They had already paid a heavy price for their recklessness before.

Therefore, if you now realize that something is wrong, you must quickly return to the original route.

If you stay here and continue going down, you will only encounter more dangerous things.

So, the three of them nodded, turned around and walked up.

All the way up, the three of them also pricked up their ears and continued to listen to the sounds around them.

really!

The sound appeared again after they turned their heads.

Not only did they appear, but this time the sound came from behind them, which was from the bottom of the corridor.

Upon noticing this situation, the three of them became even more anxious.

What exactly is going on?

What is that sound that has been following their footsteps?
Something is wrong!
Thinking of the key point, the three of them stopped subconsciously and shined their flashlights behind them.

But this time it was the same, nothing could be seen under the dark corridor.

But the more this happens, the more dangerous it is!

They always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in the darkness below.

"Come on!"

Thinking of this, the three of them immediately quickened their pace and walked up.

So evil!

If the footsteps only came from above, maybe there was something really following them into the corridor.

But as soon as they changed direction, why did the strange footsteps also turn behind them?

It seemed that that thing just wanted to follow them.

After noticing this situation, Feng Taichu and the others knew that there was definitely something even weirder hidden here.

With this kind of thinking, they just wanted to leave here quickly.

This time, their steps were much faster than when they came down. They quickly climbed up the stairs that originally took 2 minutes.

I don't even know if it's because of excessive nervousness or what.

It took nearly seven flights of stairs to climb up, but this time even Zhang Defu, who was already elderly, did not feel any fatigue at all.

However, when they climbed all the way to the eighth floor, the scene before them made people feel horrified.

"Where's the exit?" Feng Taichu suddenly frowned.

That's right!

They were always calculating in their minds how many floors they had climbed up, and based on the original number of floors when they came down, this should be the exit.

At this moment, they had arrived at the location where they came down before, but when they looked up, they found that the exit had disappeared?

Not only that, but above this corridor, there are still stairs going up?
How is this going?

What the hell?

"Taichu, could we have misremembered the number of stairs?" Upon noticing this accident, Zhang Defu quickly expressed his guess.

But in fact, even he himself felt that this statement was untenable.

The three of them clearly remembered that they just walked down eight flights of stairs!
But think about it carefully.

Perhaps they also misremembered the number of stairs in a state of high mental stress.

Thinking of this, the three people quickly quickened their pace and continued walking up.

But then, what made people even more horrified was that after they continued to go up three floors, they still didn't see the entrance they came down from.

Seeing this scene, the three of them were stunned on the spot.

At the same time, everyone in the Exploration Bureau also exploded.

"Did they encounter a ghost and hit a wall?"

"What the hell is going on? Where was the entrance when they came down?"

"Not to mention the entrance, how come there are so many stairs when you look up?"

For a moment, everyone in the exploration bureau was frightened and trembled.

Under this situation, Feng Taichu and the others were also lost in thought, but they couldn't find the reason no matter how hard they tried.

What exactly is going on?

They clearly came down from the entrance, and they only walked up to eight floors after coming down.

But now they came up again from below, and they couldn't see the exit?

So evil.

This corridor is simply terrifying. Did you encounter such a strange thing as soon as you came down?

But what kind of explanation is this?
They were actually chasing Yang Xue down the road.

As a result, not only was a strange fourth type of footsteps heard in the tomb passage, but now even the exit had disappeared after coming up again.

Could it be that they were trapped and died in the corridor?
But how is this possible?
They obviously watched the corridor in front of them with their own eyes and walked down step by step.

Maybe, was it a hallucination?

When they thought that they might be hallucinating, the three of them immediately closed their eyes and began to think about ways to break the hallucination.
