The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 90 The Underground Shrine
At that time, when the group first discovered this secret passage, they didn't know where it led to, but the size of the secret passage was very large, and it seemed that it led to some extremely important place. He would miss this opportunity, and immediately proceeded along this secret path, and then entered the underground shrine.

There is no reason why it is called the underground shrine, because that place is the ruins of the ancient Yellow Nest Kingdom, which is also the underground where the Goddess Snake Mo was originally.As for the people of the ancient country of Huangchao, why they respected the big snake as a god and worshiped it with statues is unknown.

At that time, although everyone knew about the Snake Demon Goddess, like us, they only thought it was a legend, and did not expect that there would be a deity.

The underground shrine is a large-scale collapsed underground palace. Walking in it is like walking in a maze, and the road will be broken from time to time.I don't know how long they walked around, but they found some mummies.Not one, but some, distributed in different places, the strangest thing is that the clothes worn by these mummies turned out to be modern.

That was already 20 years ago. The mummy they saw at that time was still a relatively fresh one. There was no corpse oil on the body, and the clothes were clean. all items.

Soon, the archaeological team discovered to their astonishment that this turned out to be a desert geological investigation team.

Geology and archaeology, in some respects, are common. They work with each other, and sometimes they often need each other's help. Therefore, Chai Kuan still knows a little about the dynamics of geology.He remembered that he seemed to have heard before that a geological expedition team had disappeared in Gurbantunggut.

Could it be them?

Did they die in this place?
The walrus ivory on Chai Kuan was found on one of the corpses.

When I heard this, I couldn't help interrupting the old man Chai Kuan, and couldn't help saying: "Are you sure you found it from a corpse?" The results of Tan Ren's two deductions all point to one direction, that is, the person is still alive.

Could it be that his deduction was wrong?
Even if it is wrong, is it too coincidental?

Chai Kuan nodded, looking sane, as if he had misremembered.

Don't mention me now, even Tan Ren frowned, showing a puzzled expression. Soon after, Tan Ren thought for a while and asked Chai Kuan: "Recall, when you picked up the walrus ivory, did it hang on the wall?" The one on the other party's neck, or somewhere else?"

Chai Kuan had no memory at all, and said in one breath: "It was pinched in his hand. I remember it very clearly. When he found the corpse, he was very strange. He curled up, as if avoiding something. His left hand was on the ground, and his right hand was on the ground. Block the front of the chest, holding this thing in your hand."

The scene he described appeared in my mind involuntarily, and I felt a little familiar. I suddenly thought, didn't the mummy I found move in the same way when it died?The only difference is that one is sitting and the other is lying down.

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help guessing: Could it be that the death of those people also encountered that kind of monster who was dissatisfied with scales?When I thought about it, I asked directly.Chai Kuan lowered his head slightly, most of his face was covered by his hair and beard, he scratched his head suddenly and said, "Is there a blade? I'll shave my head, and my body is full of lice."

The topic changed a little quickly. I looked at it and saw that there were so many lice. Just looking at it made me feel itchy all over, so I touched my nose and went to get a razor.Helping people shave their hair and beard in the middle of the night, this kind of experience is probably only once in a lifetime. After Chai Kuan finished shaving, I couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

I saw that he had a bronze complexion and a well-proportioned muscular body. Without looking at that face, it is really hard to imagine that he is an old man. Even if he is an old man, he is definitely a very attractive old man. Old ladies on the street would blush of that kind.

After finishing it, he probably felt much more comfortable. He touched his bald head and sighed, and said, "I heard from you on the road that this year... is 2012? In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years..." In fact, we all misunderstood Chai Kuan.

Chai Kuan is not old. When he entered Gurbantunggut, he was still a student with the team, and his teacher happened to be the mummy I brought out.In other words, Chai Kuan is actually only in his forties, a few years younger than Wang Zehai, but the 20 years of harsh living environment made his face look too old.

He began to answer the question I had asked earlier, and in a very serious manner, said: "I don't know if they were killed by that green monster, but I know that the scaled monster is how come."

"It's the snake man." After a pause, he continued: "The ghost made by that big snake." He began to tell us a scene that he will never forget in his life.When exploring the entire underground shrine, everyone did not encounter any danger at first.

According to the instructions of the team leader, Professor Qiao, they mapped out a complete structural diagram based on the known structure of the underground shrine, and marked the core part of the entire shrine.

After observing all the way, they faintly realized that this place is likely to be a ruin of the ancient kingdom of Huangchao, and what puzzled them the most was that the kingdom of Liuzi did not destroy this underground shrine after recovering the ancient kingdom of Huangchao , but built such a secret road directly to the shrine.

It can be seen that there must be a secret hidden in it.

This secret is likely to be hidden in the core part of the underground shrine.That archaeological operation originally went to the ancient country of Huangchao. Now that such a major discovery has been made, it is naturally very attractive to the archaeological team.

Therefore, a group of people immediately headed towards the core part of the underground shrine.

Maybe it was because Chai Kuan was too impressed with the whole incident, so he remembered every detail clearly.There is nothing worth noting about the middle process. The real change happened after everyone reached the core.

There is a magical spring in that place.

In the spring pool made of gold, there are countless white waves surging.

At that time, Chai Kuan's first reaction was, is there groundwater connected to it?
It was a very shocking and strange scene.In a similar way, in a ruin-like underground temple, there appeared a round, gold-made spring, with clear water jumping inside.At that time, the whole group was sweaty and exhausted. At first glance, they wished they could jump down, drink a few mouthfuls and take a bath.

However, when everyone got close to the spring made of gold, they discovered that there was still something under the spring.

At first, it was a mass of black shadow with no concrete image, but soon, the black shadow stretched out and began to swim towards the water surface. In an instant, a huge cyan snake head emerged from the water!It was definitely the biggest snake that everyone had ever seen in their life. Standing in front of it, people felt small.

And that green snake had a pair of crimson eyes. The snake's head was slightly lowered, and the red eyes revealed an evil nature, staring straight at everyone.

Chai Kuan didn't see how the rest of the people felt at the time. Anyway, he himself was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen. His whole body was cold from head to toe, and his legs were trembling.

In the next second, the huge snake bit the person closest to the water.

The person closest to the water is called Ai Yongjun. This person is also a student. He has always done well in his studies, but he is a bit unpleasant. He likes to show off everything. Later, they changed their surnames, most of them changed their surnames to Jin, and a small number changed their surnames to Ai.

But don't say, he is really a Manchu, but he is not a real prince and grandson, I don't know.

This person wanted to look down on Chai Kuan a little bit. Chai Kuan was a typical phoenix flying out of a chicken coop. None of the family could read, and neither sister nor sister had ever read, so the family sent him to school. To be a student led by a famous archaeological professor in China is a great honor.

But Ai Yongjun looked down on people like Chai Kuan, and the two had a quarrel once. He taught Chai Kuan a lesson: "People like you, if you don't go back to the countryside to farm, what are you going to do? What kind of life will you live?" Days, don’t think I don’t know, I’ve inquired clearly. Your brothers and sisters are all wearing their belts, just for you to be the leader, are you ashamed? Can’t you cultivate the land well, follow me What are you arguing for? Can you compete with me?" At that time, the two were secretly competing for a place in the inspection.

At that time, Chai Kuan was so angry that he went mad, and the two had a fight, which left his head broken and bloody, but he didn't let the teacher know because he was afraid of making a mistake.

When talking about this, Chai Kuan gave a wry smile, and said: "It has been 20 years now, and I think about it, and I found that there is nothing wrong with what he said. There are five children in my family, two elder brothers went out to work early to earn money to support the family, and one older sister A younger sister never studied, in order not to increase the burden on the family, she married early, and the marriage was not good. My sister died of dystocia in the second year, and my younger sister married a drunkard and was always beaten. They all They are sacrificing for me, but as for me, I haven't paid them back a single cent... I've been missing for 20 years, 20 years!" Tears welled up in his eyes, and he held his head and wept depressingly, without a moment's notice. look up.
