Chapter 18 17
This stone room is actually very comfortable to live in. Although the bed and sofa are made of stone, each structure conforms to the principles of ergonomics, and people do not want to get up when they nest in it.Not far from the stone chamber is a spring, which flows out of the holy water melted from the top of the mountain.
The pillows are made of natural spirit stones from the mountain, and the holy water melted from the top of the mountain is drunk. If one ignores that this is a mountain with no sky, and there are hundreds of skeletons beside it, it is definitely a very enjoyable thing.
Shan Heyi: "The tomb... shouldn't there be no way out?" It would be strange if there was a way out.
"Tomb?" Yan Xiao thought for a while, shook her head, and muttered, "Probably not."
The other two didn't understand what he was talking about, and they stared at him with the same expression, hoping that he would continue.
Yan Xiao raised his head and saw two "groundhogs watching a good show with a carrot in their arms", and he couldn't stop laughing. He coughed lightly to hide his uncontrollable laughter, and said, "Who said this is a tomb?"
Jia Gu scratched his head and said doubtfully, "Isn't there a skeleton? Didn't it come from the tomb?"
Yan Xiao said: "How many skeletons are the tomb? Who taught you?" Let the master know, and see if he doesn't cut you.
Shan Heyi was a little dazed, he grew up so big, dead people didn't even look at him, he felt terrified when he first heard that there was a skeleton, but now he heard that there was more than one skeleton, he got goosebumps, trembled, and said : "How many... how many?"
Yan Xiao thought about the skeletons he saw just now, and said, "Two or three hundred."
Jia Gu: "..."
Shan Heyi: "..." Why do I feel that there is a group of people watching me from behind? !
Seeing their frightened look, Yan Xiao comforted them: "It's okay, the door is closed, they can't come out."
Shan Heyi: "..." Hehe, Brother Xiao, I don't need the air conditioner anymore, thank you.
Yan Xiao: "They're not actually humans, but they're just as intelligent as humans, and I don't know if they have souls..."
Brother Xiao let go of the air-conditioning without any money, Shan Heyi couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down, I just beg you, stop talking!
Jia Gu interjected at the right time, preventing Yan Xiao from transforming into a large air conditioner in the cold underground, and said, "Hey, what do you mean you can go out theoretically?"
Shan Heyi instantly stopped his mournful expression, and looked at Yan Xiao expectantly. He never wanted to go home more than now. Although there was no warmth there, at least there would not be hundreds of skeletons of unknown monsters!
Yan Xiao glanced at Shan Heyi, and slowly expressed her thoughts: "I think this should be related to the beast-riding clan."
Jiagu didn't understand the meaning of his sudden sentence, but Shan Heyi was familiar with it. He told Yan Xiao the story of controlling the beast clan. At first, he also listened to it as a myth and legend. Unexpectedly... Is there really a Beastmaster?
Yan Xiao simplified the story told by Shan Heyi, and told Jiagu the part about the beast-riding clan.Jia Gu was several years older than Yan Xiao, and had studied with Yan Xiao's master for a period of time, but Jia Gu's family had a sudden change and left.After that, the two never met each other again. Yan Xiao continued to follow his master to fight in various mountains, and Jiagu wandered around the world with the skills he learned.
Over the years, Jiagu's experience has been much richer than that of Yan Xiao's. He has heard all kinds of strange stories, but he has never heard that there is a group of beast-riding clans in this world that should become fossils.
Jia Gu: "No, are you...reliable?"
Yan Xiao blinked and said, "Those skeletons are indeed beasts, but they are different from ordinary animals."
No one knows his ability to detect the emotions of the skeleton, and he himself has not figured out the details of this skill. Who knows if he will be sent to the research institute the next moment he tells it, and devote himself to science.
Yan Xiao made a suggestion based on the idea of multiple people watching and discovering: "How about I take you to have a look?"
Shan Heyi and Jia Gu tremblingly followed behind Yan Xiao, and when Yan Xiao stretched out his hand to push the stone door, each of them quickly grabbed Yan Xiao's clothes corners, trying to make an expression of "I'm not afraid at all" on their faces, But the uncontrollable trembling muscles said: "I'm afraid! Can you go back first?!"
In fact, the only person who was really afraid was Shan Heyi, and Jiagu just cooperated to complete the performance in order not to let him be afraid alone, and the painting style was too beautiful.
Yan Xiao just paused with his hands, then calmly pushed open the stone door, and a peaceful breath spread out.Yan Xiao didn't know if she was the only one who could feel the skeleton's emotions, so she took the opportunity of paying attention to the state of the other two to observe their emotional reactions.
At the moment when the stone door was pushed open, Shan Heyi closed his eyes abruptly, and his hands trembling due to excessive force revealed that he was in extreme panic.
Well, no matter how peaceful it is, it will not change the fact that what is placed here is a skeleton.
Yan Xiao didn't do much, just took care that he didn't get scared to death, and waited for him to recover slowly.
Yan Xiao, who was always paying attention to Shan Heyi, didn't notice that when he saw the skeleton, the emotions in Jiagu's eyes changed several times, surprise, sadness, awe... and finally stopped at surprise.
Fear is just a momentary thing. After that moment, Shan Heyi, who did not feel the danger, cautiously opened his eyes driven by curiosity.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was immediately blinded by the skeleton in front of me. Nima, this is called "just different from ordinary animals"?Ordinary animals can be so big? !People who take hormones can't grow like this!
Shan Heyi: "These... are really the skeletons of dead animals?"
Jia Gu didn't even think about it, he said, "Otherwise what else could it be?"
Yan Xiao froze for a moment, and said, "You mean these are models?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jia Gu without any trace.Yan Xiao could sense the emotions of the skeletons, so naturally he didn't doubt that these were real animal skeletons, so what about Jiagu?
Hearing Yan Xiao's words, a strange look flashed across Jiagu's face, and he quickly ran to a skeleton in a disguised manner, studied it carefully, reached out his hand to touch the skeleton, and said solemnly: "This is a skeleton. The texture is not like what the model can simulate.”
Models are generally shape-like, color-like, and imitative. As for the texture, they can only be similar at most. The bone quality of various animals is not necessarily the same. Coupled with the influence of environmental factors, it is simply impossible to make exactly the same bone quality. possible.
As Shan Heyi, an unfavored child in the mountains, he couldn't tell the difference between the model and the real bone.
Yan Xiao took up the important task of explaining, and explained briefly with the skeleton at hand.
The three of them talked while walking, Jia Gu had sharp eyes and found the half-hidden stone door, and walked forward excitedly, before Yan Xiao could stop him, he pushed the stone door open.
Compared with the well-preserved skeletons in front, the skeletons here are simply tragic. The scene can be described as a mass burial ground. Incomplete skeletons are scattered all over the stone chamber. up...
The front is more like a museum exhibition hall, but here there is more and more real death.
Although Jiagu and Shan Heyi couldn't feel the skeleton's emotions, the oppression in this room made them silent unconsciously. The three of them stopped in front of the stone room not only because they had nowhere to stay, but more importantly, because they rose from the heart. Sadness and shock.
"Are we really unable to get out?" Shan Heyi sat on a stone bench by the path with all his might.
After they came out of the stone room where the skeletons were placed, they walked back along the way they came. Fortunately, there were not many forks here, except for the way they walked at the beginning, there was only a corridor-like path left.
Following the corridor, they found no less than 20 stone chambers, or rooms, similar to the one they had originally stayed in.
Some of these rooms are half open, some are closed, and some have skeletons inside...
Seeing this, Jiagu swallowed, and said: "These rooms must be for living people." Yes, it must not be a morgue!
Yan Xiao was also a little puzzled, the room was so well repaired, it couldn't just be used for corpses.There are beds and sofas that fit the anatomy perfectly, which is too luxurious for the dead.
Yan Xiao reached out and turned on the light. The light was not enough just now, and they could only vaguely see a skeleton on the bed. The moment they turned on the light, they were all stunned. They saw a human skeleton lying sideways on the bed, facing the place where they were. In the direction, two black "eyes" quietly watched the person coming.
Yan Xiao was just unprepared when he turned on the light, and was taken aback, but quickly recovered, scanned the room, found no signs of fighting, seemed to have died of natural causes, then walked to the bed, lowered his head After a moment of silence for the child who was only 8 or 9 years old, he raised his hand to put on the skeleton.
Perhaps the skeleton's emotion was not strong enough, Yan Xiao didn't feel the emotional fluctuations when entering the room, the emotional fluctuations transmitted through the contact position was beyond Yan Xiao's expectation.
fear?This fear was quite intense, the kind that reached its peak in an instant. In layman's terms, it was frightened to death.
This case is interesting, what can one see to be frightened to death?For example, there are teams of skeletons walking by outside the door...
The three of them checked it out, and the room was very clean, so clean that it didn't look like any creature had lived there.
Even though there are hundreds of skeletons for psychological construction, Shan Heyi still can't stand the feeling of being in the same room with skeletons, not to mention human skeletons, it's so f*cking exciting, he can't wait to pull Yan Xiao out of the room, and then take a long breath With a sigh of relief, he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"No, there should be a way out." Jia Gu thought for a while and said.
Shan Heyi didn't know why Jiagu also became mysterious. Didn't he not understand what Yan Xiao said before like him?
Yan Xiao: "Is it possible that they ran into the grave by themselves and waited to die? And judging from the poses of these skeletons, it was obvious that they were put up after death. It is impossible for them to run in by themselves after death. They ship in."
Shan Heyi nodded thoughtfully.
Jia Gu squinted his eyes, and took the initiative to continue the conversation: "We fell in because the altar burst. If this is the only way to enter, then they have to blow up the altar once in a while?"
Shan Heyi: "..." It seems to make sense.
The three continued to set off, gradually moving away from the skeletons and stone chambers, and then...there was no more, they walked to the end.
This is a semi-circular space, unlike the hallway which is illuminated by night pearls, where nothing but darkness is black.
Jiagu looked at it for a long time with a flashlight. The stone wall was smooth and round without any cracks, let alone the door. They didn't even find a crack in the stone, as if they were inside a whole stone.
After walking for such a long distance, they couldn't find the exit, but walked into a dead end. The three of them were exhausted physically and mentally, so they found a raised stone and sat on it.
However, before the three of them could take a breath, the whole space suddenly shook, accompanied by the sound of "Boom Boom Boom".
The three stood up quickly and looked around blankly. Jiagu reacted the fastest, pulling Yan Xiao and Shan Heyi towards the entrance where they came in.
When they ran to the entrance with their excellent sense of direction, they found that the entrance disappeared at some point and was replaced by a smooth stone wall.
Just when they were overwhelmed by despair, a ray of light illuminated their world. They hurriedly turned around to look for the light source, and saw the stone wall rising slowly directly behind them, and the light came through the opening of the "seamless" stone wall came in.
