Husband, forgive me

Chapter 140 The Curse in the Tomb
Don't be too late!

Before the other people on the island could react, we sneaked into the underground palace quietly.

Sea levels used to be lower.

The sea level is higher now.

Many places that were originally land were submerged by sea water,

Moreover, there was a crack in the middle of the island. I thought it would be very humid inside, and there was even a lot of water accumulated.

But it turns out!
How wrong this idea is!

Except for the entrance part, which has been drenched by rain for a long time and is very wet, the inside of the underground palace is very dry, and it is abnormally dry.

The place that was shattered by the earthquake is a section of corridor.

Walking inside, the corridors are full of quaint murals.

These murals are rich in content, and there are many depictions of the lives of ancient ancestors, including hunting, planting and building houses.

Some of the murals even describe how to smelt bronze, indicating that these Dongyi people had already entered the Bronze Age at that time.

According to the few historical records, the Dongyi Shaohao civilization and bronze civilization were very developed.

Now it looks like it might be true.

Keep going inside, those murals about life gradually decreased.

Then came lifelike phoenixes!
This divine bird is the totem of the Dongyi people.

Every phoenix is ​​carved so lifelike that it will come alive anytime.

These murals, if discovered by those archaeologists, will definitely be regarded as priceless treasures.

For the study of paleoanthropology, it has extremely important value.

The channel descends in steps.

After walking one or two hundred steps down, I felt that I had already penetrated below the sea level, but the surrounding stone walls became drier and drier.

This is very abnormal.

The complete stone walls will not seep water, but because they are soaked in seawater, the temperature of these stone walls will be low, and the water vapor in the air will condense when it comes into contact with the stones, thus forming stagnant water.

Even if there is no stagnant water!

At least it should be very humid!
"be careful!"

Walking at the front of the team, Ji Gongsheng said with a full face of alertness: "Dongyi culture is famous for its weirdness. This is the place where mysterious birds are buried. There must be some defensive measures."

Is it an organ trap?

Who knows!

Just be careful!

I walked forward for a while, and I didn't know what was going on. My heart became more and more irritable, and I felt a little hot on my body.

He glanced at Ji Gongsheng and Mo Shang, but they didn't respond.

"what happened?"

Ji Gongsheng turned around and asked!
"fine!"

I shook my head, suppressed the boredom in my heart and said: "It's a bit stuffy, maybe the air here is not good!"

Judging from the distance, we have already penetrated hundreds of meters into the interior of the island. It is normal that the air in this place is not good.

After walking forward for a while, there was a faint smell of burning in the air.

This smell is a bit stinky, a bit like the smell of fried meat.

Is someone having a barbecue?
I was a little surprised in my heart!

Smelling this smell, Ji Gongsheng and Mo Shang frowned at the same time, showing guarded looks.

"Cover your nose!"

Ji Gongsheng turned around and glanced at me, then said in a low voice, "Go and see first, there may be danger ahead!"

Uh-huh!

I quickly took out a mask and put it on, and the smell became lighter.

Walk forward carefully.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Ji Gongsheng stopped suddenly and took a flashlight. Right in front of him lay a scorched corpse, which was burnt to the point where only a few mutilated bones remained.

That burnt smell emanated from the corpse.

"He was burned?"

Looking at this corpse, I don't have much fear, but more curiosity!
"Correct!"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Ji Gongsheng's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Not long after he died, his bones are still hot!"

what?
how so!
I felt a little strange. Being burned to death was a very painful thing. Didn't he yell?

impossible!

Is it
Toxic in the air?
He quickly covered his mouth, for fear that he would inhale something dirty and be poisoned and fall to the ground.

I do not know how it is!

Entering this underground palace, I always have a feeling of heart palpitations, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen!

The last time I entered the tomb of hungry ghosts, there were so many hungry ghosts hidden in it, so I wasn't too scared.

But this empty underground palace!

But it made me flustered!

"careful!"

Ji Gongsheng has been admonishing us, draw out the sword and walk in the front of the team, and continue to explore below.

The further down I go, the hotter I feel.

"It's so cold!"

At this moment, Mo Shang yelled in a low voice, and looked at me worriedly: "Do you want clothes, Madam?"

Mo Shang brought three sets of diving suits, as well as some dry clothes, for getting into the water.

Uh!
Hearing Mo Shang's words, the feeling of uneasiness became even stronger!

I obviously feel very hot, but he actually feels very cold?

He hurriedly ran to Ji Gongsheng, and asked weakly, "Are you hot?"

Ji Gongsheng frowned, and looked at me strangely: "It's neither cold nor hot, what's wrong with you?"

Uh!
Hearing Ji Gongsheng's words, Mo Shang and I looked at each other in blank dismay!

Walk in the same place!
Mo Shang felt very cold!

I feel very hot!
Ji Gongsheng felt lukewarm. Whose perception has a problem?
Or
All three of us have problems with perception?

“This place is spooky!”

Ji Gongsheng said in a deep voice: "There has always been a legend that the singing of the black bird can confuse people's minds. It seems that this legend is true. Be careful, don't fall into the illusion, it is very dangerous."

Uh-huh!

I think Ji Gongsheng's perception is the most correct!
The temperature in this cave is actually quite normal!
Because Mo Shang and I are not as strong as Ji Gongsheng, we were affected by this mysterious force and gradually lost the most basic ability to judge.

I think this reason can hold water!

but
Looking at the scorched black bones on the ground, I was a little puzzled again. He was burned to death, but how was he burned to death?
There is no gasoline smell in the air, nor the smell left by other combustibles!
Only on the cold stone steps lay a charred corpse, which is very abnormal!

Be careful!

must be careful!

This place is too dangerous!
Follow behind Ji Gongsheng and continue walking forward!

Judging from the traces on the ground, we are not the first batch of people who entered here!
Think about it too!

We got the news, but it has actually been delayed for several days.

In the past few days, there must be people from other forces rushing into the Xuanniao tomb first!
and many more!

Since they have been here for several days, why is there no news about the Xuanniao Tomb?
Those who came in first were killed by Cha Guess?
still is
They went in and didn't come out at all, trapped to death?

The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, otherwise it's impossible that no news will come out!
After walking down for another seven or eight minutes, I finally came to a small stone room.

This stone room is not big, it is estimated to be about ten to twenty square meters. In addition to our staircase, there are three passages extending in three directions.

I know this kind of layout. In ancient tombs, the tombs on the left and right sides are usually placed for funerary objects.

Only the main tomb in the middle will hold the owner's coffin.

If Xuanniao's body has not been touched, it must be in the middle of the tomb.

"How many steps did we take when we came down?"

Ji Gongsheng glanced around the stone room, turned around and asked Mo Shang!
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps!"

Mo Shang thought for a while and said in a low voice!

"Nine is the ultimate number, nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, from bottom to top is also called "the road to heaven. "

Ji Gongsheng laughed softly: "It seems that there is really a mystery in it, otherwise it wouldn't be arranged like this!"

Mo Shang nodded, but did not speak.

His gaze has been fixed on the murals on the three passages.

This stone room is very simple, there are only three murals in total, which are above the three passages.

If you look closely, the passage on the left depicts the punishment of decapitation.

On a bloody stone pier, there was a man with his hands tied behind his back.

Beside him is a strong man wearing a bronze mask, holding a bronze knife in his hand, trying to chop!
The mural on the right is carved with a person without both feet, lying on the ground and wailing in pain!
"The sky is missing!"

Mo Shang pointed to the two murals on the left and right and said: "The person on the left has no head, and the person on the right has no feet. This is a warning to intruders that they will pay the price of severed heads and feet!"

In the middle!
Hold up the flashlight quickly!
According to the upper part of the passage in the middle, but there is nothing there, nothing!

Standing outside the passage, Ji Gongsheng frowned.

Dongyi culture is very ancient and mysterious, those unknown things are really scary!
Ahhhhh!
At this moment, a miserable cry came from the passage in the middle, and I was so frightened that I quickly shrank behind Ji Gongsheng.

Hold up the flashlight and look over there!

I vaguely saw clusters of flames flying towards us in a blink of an eye!

Hell!

It must be a will-o'-the-wisp!

Hiding behind Ji Gongsheng, I was scared out of my wits. In such an empty tomb, seeing a few swarms of ghostly lights flying around, and such miserable screams, anyone would have been scared to death!

Ji Gongsheng drew out his sword with a "swipe" sound!

Mo Shang took two steps back, took out his bow and arrow and aimed at the hole!

Ten seconds later, three people who were covered in fire staggered out from the inside, and fell down seven or eight meters away from the entrance of the cave. Struggling desperately on the ground, it was extremely painful!

After struggling on the ground for half a minute, these people finally stopped moving!
When the flashlight came on, there were only three charred bones left, and white flames were still burning on the corpses, illuminating a radius of several meters!
Seeing these three corpses, I suddenly felt shuddering!
That dangerous atmosphere became even stronger!
I suddenly remembered the curse I saw on the altar outside: those who disturb the black bird's sleep will be tortured by fire!
Are these intruders who were burned to death cursed?
I don't know this, but one thing is clear to me, that is, our situation is very bad, and we may die inexplicably.
