I was startled by the fat man. My hand slipped and touched the puddle of sticky liquid on the female corpse. It was so disgusting that I wanted to scold the fat man.

But the fat man kept urging me to look behind me.

Seeing that Fatty had really discovered something, I looked behind him curiously. Unexpectedly, the murals we saw before appeared again, and this time the colors on the murals were very clear and the content was much richer than before.

Just like the comic strips I read when I was a child, page after page was displayed in front of me.

"Ding Dong, Fatty finally understands that in addition to the murals on the front of the wall, there is also a set of murals on the back of the wall," the fat man said.

I nodded, but I was not in the mood to discuss it with the fat man. Instead, I focused all my attention on these murals.

Seeing that Fatty and I had made a discovery, the group of outsiders who were inspecting the female body in front also came over.

However, the most excited person among the crowd was Zhang Sanpao. When he saw the row of colorful murals in front of him, his eyes revealed a trace of unconcealable enthusiasm.

The group of outsiders were also talking a lot, and there were constant sounds of surprise.

I can understand Zhang Sanpao's fanaticism. Although he is a tomb robber who eats and drinks, he is a serious gold-touching captain and very knowledgeable, such as the previous Shi Yanluo and Water Monkey.

, mazes, etc., he recognized them all.

The murals in front of me are quite magnificent, each one is five or six meters wide, and there are many ancient texts written on them. You can imagine how many secrets they contain. It is no wonder that Zhang Sanpao is so excited.

But in the eyes of those outsiders, they only saw gold, silver and jewelry, which were completely different from Zhang Sanpao.

"I said Ding Dong, have you noticed? Pigments were very expensive in ancient China, because the ancients did not have the technology to make pigments, so they could only get materials from animals. For example, black ink uses cuttlefish ink, and red ink uses squid ink.

Blood, of course, has to be continuously processed in the later stage, so the cost is very high. There are so many colorful murals in this tomb, it is obvious that it is definitely not the tomb of ordinary people." The fat man chattered.

I knew these things even if I didn't tell him, so I didn't pay attention to him.

But the fat man continued: "If you look carefully at the materials used on this wall, they are all made of a single piece of jade, weighing several tons at least. We have just entered the tomb passage and we have seen such an awesome mural.

If we go to the main tomb chamber and bring something back, wouldn’t it be possible to drive a luxury car, hug Xiaomi, and live a decadent and ecstatic capitalist life every minute?”

I was speechless after hearing what the fat man said over and over again that he couldn't live without money.

But thinking about it carefully, the fat man is right. If even the murals in the tomb passage can be made so grand, then the real main tomb chamber must have many treasures buried with it.

Although the foreigners brought by grandpa are all veterans, they are bosses who want money rather than their lives. When they see those treasures, they will definitely be unable to restrain their inner greed and cause internal strife!

Although I knew that these foreigners were a hidden danger, our situation was not safe at this moment, so I didn't think too much about it.

I originally planned to take a look with Zhang Sanpao to see what was painted on the mural. But suddenly I found that Zhang Sanpao came behind the female corpse again at some point, staring sharply at the back of the corpse.

And his face, which had just been extremely excited because of seeing the mural, slowly turned gloomy, and finally turned frighteningly dark.

Seeing his expression getting worse and worse, my heart sank. Could it be that Zhang Sanpao discovered something fishy?

But Zhang Sanpao seemed to have noticed that I was looking at him. He turned on the light and quickly went to check the other hanging naked female corpses. It seemed that he didn't want to tell me.

I took a deep breath and planned to follow him to see what was going on in Zhang Sanpao's mind.

As a result, as soon as he took two steps, he was dragged back by the fat man.

The fat man pushed my head hard in front of the mural, adjusted the flashlight's light to the maximum, and then said in panic: "Ding Dong, look at what the fuck is painted on these murals!"

I felt uncomfortable being pressed by the fat man, but I still used the light to look at the mural in front of me.

This mural still contains the sacrificial scene we saw before.

In the center of the mural is a triangular altar made of bronze. From a distance, it looks like a sheep's head with red eyes and a wide mouth.

Around the altar, many people in coarse linen and sackcloth were kneeling and worshiping.

However, the scene on the altar changed drastically. After the soldiers carried boxes of food and many cattle and sheep to the altar, many strange bugs with round heads suddenly appeared in the black hole of the altar.

.

These insects, like leeches whose bodies were enlarged hundreds of times, swarmed up and quickly gnawed the cattle and sheep until no bones were left.

As they ate more and more food, the bodies of those big bugs began to slowly expand.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, the black-robed wizard hiding among the soldiers gave an order, and a huge iron net was immediately covered. The soldiers also picked up their weapons to kill the covered insects.

Later, more soldiers rushed to the altar, released their bows and arrows, held shields, and carried knives to fight with the big bugs. The ground was covered with sticky liquid and the bones of the soldiers who had been eaten.

Finally, those big bugs were completely driven into the black hole in the altar.

After the wizard worshiped the gods on the altar, he completely sealed the black hole.

I thought the story would end here, but the fat man pointed at the words on the edge of the mural and said: "Dingdang, look here, this is Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Although the fat man doesn't know much about it, he can still see it."

7788. The text says that after expelling these big bugs, the country finally returned to peace, but the good times did not last long. Soon, people in the tribes living around the altar began to disappear one after another..."

"Missing?" I asked with a frown.

"Yeah. And all the missing people are underage girls!" Fatty said in a hurry.

The fat man's words instantly chilled my heart, and I couldn't help but cast my eyes again on the female corpse hanging on both sides of the tomb passage.

Zhang Sanpao said that these female corpses were all underage, couldn't it be such a coincidence?

When the fat man saw that I didn't speak, he pulled me to another mural with a serious look on his face.

This time the mural is no longer an altar, but a country with people coming and going. But to put it bluntly, the country in ancient times was made up of several large tribes, with some simple houses, armies, and temples.

.

The main thing depicted in the mural is the towering temple. In the temple, the black-robed wizard is sitting there, silent, and there are many people with panic expressions gathered around him.

Fatty continued to translate: "In that era, underage girls were valued very much, because whether the tribe was strong or not, the only thing that mattered was the number of people, and girls were tools for giving birth. As the number of missing underage girls became fewer and fewer, those

The tribe finally couldn't sit still and found the wizard together, hoping that the wizard could pray to the gods to help them find the missing girl. Finally, under the guidance of the gods, the wizard successfully found a girl who had been missing for several months."

"Just when everyone was cheering that the girl was safe and sound, the storm did not subside. One day, the girl's behavior suddenly became weird..."

Having said this, the fat man took me to the next mural.

The mural is pitch black, which probably represents a dark night where one cannot see even one's fingertips.

There were a few houses dotted under the mural. At this moment, a girl with long hair and no clothes sneaked into a house.

"Look! The general meaning of the text above is that although the wizard successfully retrieved a girl, the girl would always get up secretly in the dead of night and after everyone was asleep, and sneak into the homes of other people in the tribe.

Take away their daughters. And all the underage girls were taken into the black hole of the altar that was previously sealed by the wizard!"

As the fat man told the story, I became more certain that the missing girl and the black hole on the altar depicted on the mural were probably pointing to our current location.
Chapter completed!
