Card Room

Chapter 391 The secret of the sarcophagus

After coming out of the cold stone room, the six members of Xiao Lou and the six members of Gui Yuanzhang continued to go deep into the maze.

The slate-like corridor was glistening, and everyone froze with goosebumps. In the quiet corridor, only the sound of everyone's breathing and footsteps remained.

Lao Mo has been holding the compass to check the direction. Their route is still all the way east, but not just east, but a slight deviation of about 10 degrees towards the east.

After walking for a while, Lao Mo stopped to look around, and said, "How big is this ancient tomb? After we came out of the stone room, we have walked for ten minutes, but still nothing found?"

Xiao Lou was also confused. He looked at the floor plan drawn by Lao Mo. Since leaving the six reincarnation chambers, they have been walking in a straight line. After walking about 500 meters, they found the first sarcophagus, and then a long straight line, and there was Any fork.

He pressed his voice headset and asked about the situation opposite him. "Back to the senior, did you find it over there?"

Gui Yuanzhang said, "No, there is a straight corridor, there are no frescoes on the surrounding walls, and there are no institutions."

Xiao Lou asked again, "Where's the direction? Still the same?"

Gui Yuanzhang looked down at the compass in his hand and said, "Yes, it's the same as before."

Xiao Lou said helplessly, "Go on, keep in touch."

The crowd walked forward for a few minutes, and finally found that colorful murals appeared on the walls again.

Yu Hanjiang held the night pearl lighting, Xiao Lou walked over to observe carefully.

The contents of the murals are still painted from infancy to adulthood, but this time the murals do not have scenes of big weddings. Judging by clothing and hair, the main character of the mural's story seems to be a male.

Since the clue of the mother's totem was found in the mural just now, Xiao Lou observed the mural more carefully this time. The man's black hair was tied with a bun in his head, with a root of elegant wood, a jade pendant on the waist, and a crescent shape painted on it. The last mural, which looks like a scene of joining the army? The man wore the armor of an ancient soldier.

Xiao Lou froze. "Not a woman this time?"

In the past, it was speculated that the tomb owner married young girls of many tribes to sacrifice and buried them alive in the ancient tombs ... Now there are men in the murals, indicating that this speculation is wrong.

After reading the mural, a stone gate appeared in front of it.

On the stone gate is a simple Tai Chi map, as long as the pattern is restored, the mechanism can be opened. As Xiao Lou guessed, there was still a sarcophagus in the stone chamber, and the blood leaking out of the gap in the coffin had long been solidified and blackened.

Will this fall into the hallucination and reappear again?

They stepped back alertly, staring vigilantly at the sarcophagus.

However, one minute passed and nothing happened.

Xiao Loudao "Let's take a look."

Yu Hanjiang pulled out his saber and split the lid of the sarcophagus with a single knife.

Inside the coffin lies a bone, wearing armor. Due to a long history, the metal armor has been oxidized and blackened. He holds a jade in his hand, as in the mural, with a crescent-shaped mark on it.

Xiao Lou leaned down and looked closely at the bones, speculating that "an adult male should be about 25 years old, and he had traces of fierce struggle before his death, and all his hand bones were broken."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the white bones in the coffin. "The sarcophagus was just a bride. This time, it seems like a soldier?"

Xiao Lou couldn't understand for the time being, he whispered to Gui Yuanzhang, "Senior, what did you find over there?"

Gui Yuanzhang also entered the stone room. Chu Huaying lied open the coffin and found that there was a white bone lying quietly there. A necklace was hung on the bone's neck. The pendant was a bit like a wolf tooth with a strange totem on it. .

Gui Yuanzhang said, "I found a bone and a totem necklace. The clothes should look like coarse cloth."

Xiao Loudao "Look at the pelvis of the corpse bone. Is the upper part of the pelvis peach-shaped or elliptical? The angle at the bottom of the pelvis is an acute angle of about 70 degrees, or an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees?"

Chu Huaying was right next to the coffin. When he heard it, he said, "Peach-shaped, the angle is an acute angle."

It seems to be male again.

When the corpse decays to the point where only white bone remains, the most important thing to distinguish between a male and a female is the pelvis. Women's pelvis is oval, and the included angle of the pubic symphysis below 100 degrees is convenient for childbearing. Men do not need to have children, so the angle below the pelvis is sharp and sharp.

Xiao Lou told this conclusion to the other side. "The newly discovered corpses on both sides of the back room are all males. We seem to be soldiers on this side. Should you be a literati on the senior level?"

Ye Qidao "The mural we just saw seems to be the scene of the high school champion?"

Everyone looked at each other.

This underground tomb is full of weirdness.

When the bodies of the two brides were first discovered, everyone thought that the owner of the tomb had intentionally married some young girls and buried them alive. Since the identity of the tomb owner is a general, he may be a lecherous person. Before the death, he took some women to accompany him to hell. Perhaps there is also the "sit and enjoy the glory" after death?

This seems not to be the case today.

Two men's bodies were found in the tomb. Judging from the jade pendants and necklaces left on their bodies, they still belong to different clans. The only thing they have in common is that the people buried alive are very young.

So what exactly does this priesthood ceremony represent?

Xiao Lou could not draw a conclusion for the time being, and said, "Let's continue to find out, we must find all the sarcophagus."

After leaving Shishi, the crowd walked another distance. A corner appeared in the corridor ahead, and the angle with this road was an obtuse angle of about 135 degrees.

Xiao Lou stopped at the corner and said, "Old Mo, check the direction."

Old Mo picked up the compass carefully and said right, "The compass's pointer, this direction ... should be exactly north."

True North?

Suddenly changed direction, and everyone couldn't help being more cautious.

Along the way, some murals appeared on the walls on both sides of the passage. This time, the main character is two young children. The two are playing and hopping, looking very lively and cute.

There was only one mural, and a stone door appeared next to it.

Xiao Lou pushed the stone door gently, and actually opened it directly without using any organ.

The house was still a sarcophagus. Yu Hanjiang did not need Xiao Lou to remind him, and he took the saber to split the lid of the coffin.

The picture inside the coffin made everyone's scalp numb-

I saw two cute children sitting in the coffin. They looked like only seven or eight years old, a man and a woman. The girl was wearing bright red clothes with two small pigtails on her head; the boy was wearing a white coat, and her hair was **** on her head. The skin of the two children did not rot, and it looked like ... alive!

In the coffin of the burial chamber, two vivid children suddenly appeared, and Lu Jiuchuan could not help but step back quickly.

At the same time, Ye Lou's voice sounded in Xiao Lou's ears, and he was obviously frightened, his voice trembling slightly. "Professor Xiao, there are two children in this coffin, one man and one woman!"

The next moment, the boy and girl opened their eyes suddenly, leaving two lines of tears in their eyes.

The two children were crying, "Woohoo", and the cry made everyone sad. They stood up and stretched their arms, seemingly asking Xiao Lou to hug.

Yu Hanjiang pulled out a saber alertly, protecting Xiao Lou behind him.

Lu Jiuchuan saw the two children approaching everyone step by step, numb his scalp. "This secret room is just like shooting ghost films! How can the children in the coffin still move? Is this a hallucination again?"

Xiao Lou took a deep breath. "Everyone close their eyes, don't watch or listen."

The crowd immediately followed suit. After a while, the strange child's cries in his ears disappeared. Xiao Lou opened his eyes and saw that the two children were still sitting quietly in the coffin without moving.

He whispered, "This is a virgin boy."

When Ye Qi heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at it and said, "I heard a saying that when many dignitaries of ancient times died, they would find some boys and girls to be buried alive and accompany themselves, just like taking a maid. Serve them underground? "

Xiao Lou explained, "The ancients believed that even mortals have immortality in their bodies. Especially virgins have spiritual roots in their bodies. Fairy fate and luck are stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, the ancients liked to use virgins to give Bury yourself, and help you ascend to immortality after death. "

He looked at the two cute little children in front of his eyes, his fists could not be tightened slightly, and he whispered, "After death, the body will rot, and the fairy will leak. In order to prevent the fairy from leaking in the boys and girls, they will While the children are still alive, forcing them to inject a lot of mercury into their bodies to keep their bodies as they are alive. "

"..." Lu Jiuchuan took a sigh of relief, "In other words, grab the live boys and girls and fill them with mercury? How can this be done?"

"I have read some information. Usually, mercury is poured from children's mouths, and a hole is dug in the top of the head, back, feet, etc., and slowly filled with mercury. After mercury enters the body, these children do not immediately Death, but let the mercury flow throughout the body, slowly suffering to death. Mercury has a strong antiseptic effect, so that the corpse will stay fresh for a long time. "Xiao Lou's voice could not help but tremble, so cruel This is the first time he has seen the funeral system.

"Fuck!" Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing. "This beast, slowly tortures the child to death, but his mother is thinking about becoming a fairy? If you do this evil, you should go to eighteen hells!"

"It seems that these two children also look like living people because of the mercury in their bodies." Yu Hanjiang has also been refreshed with three views. Some of the funeral systems in feudal society are really stupid and cruel.

Xiao Lou's words were passed to the ears of Guiyuan Zhang's six people through a voice headset.

Qu Wanyue looked at the two children in the coffin and clenched her fists. "This tomb owner, is it really for the so-called immortal? Only so many people have been buried for him alive?"

Gui Yuanzhang said, "There is also a saying that if you let the living people bury themselves, they can not only help themselves to become immortals, but also let these burial people serve as servants and maids in another world."

He glanced at the cold sarcophagus and looked at the two children in the coffin. Shen Sheng said "the live burial we have found so far, there are two young beautiful brides, two strong young men, and two pairs of children Boys and girls, according to this logic, after the tomb's death, his wife, concubine, servants, and boy-boys helped him to immortal. It can be said to be very successful. "

Everyone "........."

Such people still want to become immortals? You should go to **** and accept 18 types of torture!

Gui Yuanzhang leaned over and took two charms from the backs of the two children.

At the same time, Xiao Lou also found the spell on the child.

He leaned down and took the spell, saying "in the legend, the boys and girls used for funerals not only keep their bodies intact, but also imprison their souls in the grave, be loyal to the tomb owner, and never reincarnate. This spell should be To suppress the souls of these children. "

Everyone "..."

Did the children's painful cry come from their sealed souls?

No one knows what to say.

Xiao Lou took the spell, wondering if it was a relief for the children?

Chapter 392 The hunter

The crowds came out of the stone room and went on.

At a corner, Yu Hanjiang stopped suddenly.

His ears keenly heard a strange footstep, and Yu Hanjiang immediately held his breath, and said quietly in the ear of Yu Hanjiang, "Someone followed."

He is a professional criminal policeman and often tracks prisoners, so he also has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance.

The corridor was paved with bluestone slabs, and the footsteps were very clear. Tang Ci and Liu Qiao stayed in the pockets of their teammates. There were four footsteps in the group of four. Lu Jiuchuan's footsteps were heavy, Xiao Lou was light, and Lao Mo walked slowly because he had to draw pictures while walking ...

The footsteps that just passed into my ears did not belong to any teammates.

When Xiao Lou heard Yu Hanjiang's words, the scene of Iron Tree Hell suddenly flashed in his mind—the hunter who was hung on the iron tree, penetrating through his chest and bleeding to death.

It was just one of the hunters. The hunter who sneaked into the maze was definitely not the only one.

and so……

Maybe the hunter is behind him? !!

Xiao Lou's mood suddenly became tense. He let his voice down and asked "How many people?"

Yu Hanjiang raised his ears and listened carefully, saying "the footsteps stopped, the other party was very cautious. At present I can't tell how many of them they are. However, we can stay under surveillance."

Xiao Lou comprehended, looked up around, and found a long light in the corner.

Then, he left the drone card sent by Tang before the side of the long light, so that due to the light, the long light would block the drone, so that the other party would not be aware of the existence of the surveillance.

It was found that Xiao Loufang was under surveillance. Lu Jiuchuan and Lao Mo were about to speak. Xiao Lou made a "hush" action on his lips, and they closed their mouths immediately. Yu Hanjiang made a gesture, meaning someone followed.

Lu Jiuchuan's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Hunter?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded.

After Xiao Lou put the monitoring in place, he informed Ye Qi with his savvy rhinoceros. "Xiaoye, you may be hunted by hunters behind you. Be careful. Be careful, don't say anything, try to tell your teammates as soon as possible."

Ye Qi heard Xiao Lou's voice in his head, and quickly wrote a few words in his teammate's hand, "There is a hunter to follow."

Gui Yuanzhang frowned slightly and looked back at Long Sen and Qu Wanyue.

The two looked at each other and immediately pressed against the wall, using the "chameleon card" to integrate with the surrounding environment.

The chameleon card can be detected invisibly, and it is not easy to be found. Long Sen and Qu Wanyue quickly disappeared behind the crowd like two groups of air. The two moved against the wall for a distance. Sure enough, they saw three hunters in the corner. Going sneakily to this side, the two immediately turned back and reported to Guiyuan Zhanghui, "three, two men and one woman, wearing silver masks."

Chu Huaying said, "So few people? Is it the most capable elite?"

There is also a strict hierarchy within the hunter organization. Ordinary hunters usually enter low-level rooms, such as spades 3 and spades 4, to kill newcomers. Intermediate hunters often appear in the a-class secret room and the weekly secret room. The teams who can come here have a lot of cards in their hands and are experienced. They are not so easy to deal with, so hunting tasks often fail.

Since the other party already knows that Lu Jiuchuan is in this team, he only sends so few people ... Perhaps, this time, all the elites are very capable.

Chu Huaying and Landing Jiuchuan entered and exited the Zhou Changmi room many times, and the number of hunters killed was countless. On the reward list of the hunter league, the name of the spider queen topped the list. She also has some understanding of this organization. When she walked to Gui Lao, she lowered her voice. "If it is three elites, we should have a winning chance of six to three."

Gui Yuanzhang shook his head. "Don't strike the grass and start the snake, wait for the situation over Xiaolou."

The six members of Xiao Lou continued to walk forward casually, while discussing the situation of the maze and sarcophagus. On the surface, they did not seem to find that they were being followed by the hunter.

One man and one woman breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

What they don't know is that at this moment, Xiao Lou is holding a card in his hand, and that card is like a video window of a mobile phone, which can clearly display the surveillance image in the corridor.

He saw a man and a woman approaching this side, both wearing silver masks, could not see their looks, but judging from the movements of walking, they should be pretty good.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other and pointed at a stone door next to them.

Yu Hanjiang nodded his head and walked into the door. Other teammates followed in. No sarcophagus was found in this door, but there was a step leading up.

Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan quickly hid on both sides of Shimen, and Xiao Lou said loudly, "There are steps here, which should be the exit of the maze. Let's go up and take a look."

Lao Mo cooperated with the acting "Let's go, everyone be careful."

Then, Xiao Lou and Lao Mo pretended to climb up the steps, but actually jumped down after taking a few steps and hid in the corner of the stone room.

The room became extremely quiet. Ye Lou's voice sounded in Xiao Lou's mind. "Professor Xiao, we have three hunters here. Sister Hua Ying wants to solve them. What's the situation on your side, are there many hunters? ? "

Xiao Loudao "There are only two, let's do it, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

These hunters should be the vanguard sent to investigate their situation, and do not want to kill them in Zhou Changmi's room, so they have been watching behind the scenes.

Lu Jiuchuan killed several times the elite hunter with a team of more than ten people. His fame and strength were enough to make hunter organizations fear. They will not act rashly without understanding the details of Lu Jiuchuan's new teammates.

If Xiao Lou and others are in an extremely dangerous situation in the maze, these hunters may take the opportunity to pick up the bargain and give them a fatal blow. And once they calm down, the hunter may not appear from beginning to end.

The five hunters don't know how much information they have at present, and they can't put them back anyway.

Time passed minute by minute, the needle was quiet in the secret room, and everyone held their breath.

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded in my ears.

The man and woman seemed to think they had gone upstairs, followed quickly, and walked into this stone room.

However, as soon as the two entered the door, they were greeted by a sharp saber!

Yu Hanjiang shot fast and fiercely, slashing into the man's neck with a knife, the sharp blade almost cut the man's neck! And the man's response was extremely agile, almost at the moment when Yu Hanjiang waved his sword, he immediately bent over a side slip, avoiding the blade in a thrilling manner, at the same time his body sank, and his feet retreated as if wearing roller skates.

Lu Jiuchuan's Frozen Sword followed closely behind, a sword swept past, and the cold of the sword tip was compelling.

The man held up a strange metal shield, blocking the frozen air flow of Lu Jiuchuan, and the eyes behind the mask were sharp as eagles. He sneered, "It's not easy for you to kill me!"

Yu Hanjiang was too lazy to talk nonsense, took out his pistol directly, installed the muffler, and turned back to his metal shield—

A bullet burst out of the air and shot in the center of the man's shield, spreading a cobweb-like pattern without hurting him. The man laughed, "My shield is bullet-proof ..." But the next moment, his laughter came to an abrupt end.

Because, Yu Hanjiang's second bullet followed closely, and fired extremely accurately in the center of the grain burst just now. A "swipe" shot through the shield and shot directly into his chest!

The man's eyes widened in disbelief and he fell straight to the ground.

Metal shields, two consecutive shots in the same position, can still be broken.

Lu Jiuchuan praised "the marksmanship has made progress."

Another tall woman, aware of the bad condition, immediately turned and ran away.

Xiao Lou was well prepared.

Just now he drew a lot of metal rings for backup. At this time, his hands were slightly raised up. Countless rings were like tianluodi nets, and they were smashed from the ceiling densely. The woman's legs were caught instantly, and she couldn't get out.

Lu Jiuchuan made a leap, and Han Bingjian pierced straight in his hand, sealing his throat with a sword!

The woman's body twitched twice, fell to the ground, and soon stopped breathing.

Lu Jiuchuan walked over and took off her mask. At the same time, Yu Hanjiang also took off the mask of the man who died at the door of Shishi ... the looks are very ordinary. He frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, have you seen these two hunters?"

Lu Jiuchuan shook his head. "No." He pulled open the woman's back collar, exposing the black totem tattoo on his shoulder, and Shen Chan said, "From the perspective of the tattoo, it should be an intermediate hunter. The advanced one is not so good. However, since the organization has checked When my whereabouts came, I only sent these as cannon fodder. Do you look down on us? "

Xiao Lou froze for a moment, with a chill in his heart, "Run!"

It was almost as soon as his words fell, the bodies of the two hunters suddenly exploded into pieces!

The whole room was so blaze of fire that the heat wave that came on the face almost overturned Xiao Lou. Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan ran fast, otherwise they would be blown into fly ash.

As the body of the hunter exploded, the maze began to shake violently, as if the entire tomb had begun to quake, so that everyone couldn't even stand still.

Liu Qiao's face changed, "Should it collapse here?"

Yu Hanjiang immediately flew past, and clenched Xiaolou's hand tightly, "Go!"

Lu Jiuchuan simply rode on Suzaku, cursing in his mouth, "This group of beasts actually commit suicide attacks? Fuck, put bombs on their bodies, but they can't figure it out!"
