Probably due to being soaked in water for many years, the corpses of these two sentences were rotten to the point of almost losing their human shape. The rotten flesh on the face was almost all gone, and the eyeballs were rotten into balls, half hanging from the edge of the eye sockets.
As if sensing the fluctuations in the water flow as Si Yueru swam past, the two corpses swayed and immediately swam towards Si Yueru as if they had been drugged.
Until now, Si Yueru felt obviously suffocated. If she was entangled by these two corpses, she would never be able to get out.
Thinking of this, Si Yueru felt fierce in her heart, mustered up all her strength, and quickly rushed towards the two rotting corpses.
The water channel was not wide, and Si Yueru soon collided head-on with two rotting corpses.
She dodged to avoid the hand of one of the corpses that was reaching out to Si Yueru. Si Yueru swam towards the other corpse, formed a soul-fixing seal on her hand, and slapped it on the forehead.
The rotten corpse that was hit on the head by the soul-fixing seal was shocked, and the black energy covering its body immediately dissipated, and its entire body floated stiffly in the water.
Si Yueru pushed the dead body away, moved her hands forward and was about to swim over, when a force came from her feet, as if she was being pulled by something.
Looking back, the rotten corpse that Si Yueru had dodged before had already caught up with him. One hand was grabbing Si Yueru's ankle, and the other was about to reach out to grab Si Yueru's other arm.
foot.
Unable to let it hold firmly, Si Yueru quickly kicked her legs and kicked the corpse hard in the face.
I don’t know if it was because of soaking in the water for too long that the whole body was almost rotten. Si Yueru kicked the corpse away a few steps away, leaving only a severed hand hanging on Si Yueru’s body.
on the feet.
After some violent movements, Si Yueru's eyes were filled with stars, and her lungs seemed to be filled with explosives, which seemed to explode at any time. She had no time to pay attention to the rotting corpses that were still struggling to catch up, so Si Yueru turned around.
Use all your strength to swim forward.
I don’t know how long time passed, maybe only a minute, but Si Yueru felt that it was almost as long as a century.
Just when Si Yueru's vision began to blur and her brain was about to lose oxygen, she seemed to see a bright light not far away in front of her.
This seems to be the light brought by the light refracted into the water, that is to say, the place with the light is the exit. Si Yueru shook her head vigorously, squeezed out the last bit of air in her lungs, and rushed towards the bright place.
Swim away.
"Crash-"
Si Yueru rushed out of the water, stumbled across the steps, and collapsed on the blue brick floor, her chest rising and falling rapidly, breathing in precious air.
After a few minutes passed, Si Yueru recovered from the temporary lack of oxygen in her brain, got up from the ground, looked around, and took stock of her current environment.
"What is this place?" Si Yueru was very surprised when she arrived at this mysterious space. "I didn't expect that there is an underground palace under the second-story ancient tomb."
I saw that this was an unusually empty space with cliffs on all sides. I don't know how high it was. It didn't look like an underground cave.
Although the top of the cliff is completely dark, the light coming from nowhere below makes it possible to see things around clearly even though it is very dim.
"According to my previous speculation, this ancient tomb is a double-layer structure. There was such a tomb system in the ancient Miao area. The clans were in the same cave, and the earliest ancestors were buried in the same cave.
We found a treasure land with excellent Feng Shui as the location of the tomb, and then the tombs of each generation of clan leaders were built above the original site of the previous generation. The lower level of the tomb should be older."
This side of the open space is isolated by the water channel. It is about one meter high above the water. There are seven or eight steps gradually going down, and finally disappearing into the water. It is the place where Si Yueru came up just now.
The outline of a building could be vaguely seen on the other side. Si Yueru tried hard to identify it. It looked a bit like an imperial mausoleum-level palace built on the ground.
In the middle of the open space is a green brick tomb passage that leads directly to the palace. On both sides of it, there are two symmetrical rows of thick stone pillars standing neatly. Between the stone pillars, there are many human-shaped stone statues.
These stone sculptures are about three meters high, wearing crowns, hats, and rich clothes, with wide sleeves hanging down to the knees. They should look like officials and nobles from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but they are not exactly the same.
"Judging from the shape of these stone carvings, they are obviously the costumes of the Central Plains clan. Although there are slight differences, they are basically the same. They should be a Central Plains clan that migrated or was enfeoffed to the Miao area." Si Yueru judged,
"If you put it this way, the predecessors of this Miao tribe should be the Han people. No wonder they followed the method of Qi Yin Gathering Yin."
Si Yueru walked along the tomb passage to the palace in the distance. Halfway through, nearly a hundred dark figures suddenly appeared in her sight, and she was suddenly shocked.
"Is it a zombie?"
"I can't handle such a large quantity even if I have only three heads and six arms."
But looking back was the waterway, surrounded by rock walls that were difficult to climb. Si Yueru could only be more vigilant and cautiously continue walking towards the figure.
After walking for a while and getting closer, Si Yueru realized that these black figures were just terracotta warriors and horses wearing armor.
At this time, the palace at the end of the open space was clearly visible. The palace was upright, with four corner brackets and eaves. There were rare birds standing on the eaves. It looked meticulously carved and magnificent.
Below the palace is a stepped three-story platform, which is stacked up layer by layer until the entrance of the main hall. There are dozens of terracotta warriors and horses scattered on each platform. When you are far away, it is so dark that it looks a bit scary.
After checking it carefully again, Si Yueru became a little uneasy again, just as she had just let go.
These terracotta warriors and horses seem to be different from the well-known clay warriors. They are all covered in thick armor, with hoods on their heads, and their entire faces are covered under the visors. Only the eyes have a black hole.
of gaps.
Even his hands were covered with gauntlets, and his whole body was covered so tightly that he couldn't see what was inside.
And they all hold weapons in their hands, ranging from bronze daggers to long halberds. Although these weapons have been used for thousands of years and look a little rusty, they are obviously still usable.
The most bizarre thing is that these human figurines are not neatly arranged on the steps in front of the palace gate. They are in different postures, chasing, attacking, chopping, or stabbing. They are all facing the same direction, and they seem to be chasing.
Kill the enemy.
Si Yueru looked at it intently, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger. If the scene in front of her was regarded as a movie scene, it seemed that these human figurines were forced to press the pause button when they were chasing the enemy, so
Everything was frozen in the final moment of movement.
Si Yueru climbed up the lowest step, walked to the human figurine at the front, turned around and looked again.
The whole scene suddenly became clear. All the human figurines were aimed at the position Si Yueru was in now!
Looking at the messy stone carvings lying around near them, it was already very obvious that a fierce fight had taken place here. What's even more terrible is that these human figurines holding weapons and wearing armor are not just decorations.
, they can move.
This thought made Si Yueru sweat break out from behind.
"Who once fought with these human figurines here? Why were these servants suddenly unable to move as if the pause button was pressed?" Si Yueru looked around, hoping to find some useful clues.
The harvest was soon realized. Behind a fallen stone pillar in the corner of the platform, Si Yueru saw a small section of white bones exposed.
This was obviously the body of an outsider. Si Yueru quickly walked around the stone pillar and saw a corpse leaning against the stone pillar, with a few pieces of rags still hanging on the body that had not completely decayed. She didn't know how many years it had been dead.
There were some dark red patterns around the bones, and a thick layer of dust fell on them, making it difficult to see clearly. Si Yueru walked to the bones and squatted down, reaching out to brush away the dust.
The dark red pattern reveals its true appearance, which seems to be a blood letter left by the bones during their lifetime. They are of the same origin as the inscriptions seen on the vertical coffin before, indicating that this deceased person of unknown origin also came from more than two thousand years ago.
A contemporary of the tomb owner.
It's just that Si Yueru could only recognize a few characters that were close to Qin Zhuan, and most of the other characters could only be stared at.
Finding nothing, Si Yueru stood up in disappointment, and the bones suddenly fell to the ground with a crash.
Looking back, it turned out that Si Yueru's arm accidentally pulled the rag on the corpse. At the same time, a small copper box rolled down from the bones and stopped at Si Yueru's feet.
Picking up the copper box, Si Yueru saw a small lock hanging on it, but the lock body was already rusty. Si Yueru pulled the padlock open with a gentle tug.
Just when he was about to open the copper box and see what was inside, a situation that gave Si Yueru the most headache happened again.
"Moo——"
That weird damn sound sounded again, echoing back and forth in the open space. Having had the previous two experiences, thinking with her toes, Si Yueru also knew what would happen next.
Without having time to check the contents of the copper box, Si Yueru stuffed it into her arms, turned around and rushed towards the platform.
"Dang Yi—" A ray of cold light passed through the place where Si Yueru was standing a moment ago, cut a piece of air, and suddenly hit the stone pillar next to the white bones, making a tooth-piercing impact sound.
Si Yueru looked back and saw that the armored figurine at the front had already retracted the halberd that had been struck on the stone pillar, strode forward, raised the halberd, and stabbed Si Yueru in the back.
Behind it, nearly a hundred armored figurines followed closely.
"What a danger!" Si Yue Ru Lai didn't have time to rejoice, she spread her legs and ran towards the side of the cliff.
The direction they came from was the damn waterway, and Si Yueru had no interest in experiencing it again. What’s more, even after crossing the waterway, there was still a resentful demon waiting for Si Yueru at the other end. She could only place her hope in the direction of the cliff.
Is there any exit or somewhere to hide?
