"ah" I screamed and threw the head out of my hand.
Hearing my cry, Gu Xinlie and Wang Jianggan immediately turned back to look at me, and followed my gaze to see the human head on the ground.
The eyes of this tomb-keeper corpse slave should be very large, about two or three times the size of ordinary people's eyes.
This can be seen from the exaggerated eye sockets of the head.
I felt a little scared, so I didn't dare to look at the head anymore.
I turned around and continued to look at the wall of the ear room to see if there were any subtle mechanisms around it.
At this time, Wang Jiangqian squatted down and touched the sand on the ground, turned around and looked at Gu Xinlie and me, and said in shock: "Young Master Gu, Mr.
Lin, this is not the ear room, this is the place where corpses are accumulated in the tomb. " After hearing Wang Jianggan's words, my eyelids couldn't help but tremble, and I immediately took a closer look at the surrounding environment.
We previously thought this was the ear chamber simply because it was close to the tomb passage, but after Wang Jianggan said this, I discovered that this was not the case.
The owner of this tomb is very cunning.
He uses the corpse slaves guarding the tomb to attract our attention, intending to make us get lost here and trapped to death.
In fact, this place is just a place where corpses are accumulated.
This place where corpses are accumulated is, to put it bluntly, a burial place.
It involves the ancient burial system.
Some of the victims were buried alive, and some were buried with them after they were killed or committed suicide.
In ancient my country, this system first began in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
In ancient China, the emperor has always been above the ninety-nine Xuanzi, and the common people have been below the one or two grassroots.
Slaves cannot be confused with each other.
In that era, the status of slaves was even worse than that of domestic animals.
Generally speaking, the place where corpses are accumulated in Warring States tombs is on the right side of the ancient tomb, which is used to fill in the gaps in the tomb.
Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the left was respected, and this tomb naturally followed this tradition.
The slaves buried with the corpses were often near the edge of the tomb, which was also the place with the heaviest aura in the entire tomb.
If nothing unexpected happens, there must be countless bones buried in the soil beneath our feet.
Thinking of this, my tense nerves gradually calmed down.
Now that I know this place is a place where corpses are accumulated, there is nothing to be afraid of.
As long as I search carefully and find the "embedded passage" in the tomb, I can get out of trouble.
And out.
The term "embedded passage" first appeared in burial books.
In ancient tomb structures, the place where corpses were accumulated must be connected to the "embedded passage", and the embedded passage must be connected to the underworld palace or a side chamber.
Just when I was about to look for the "embedded passage", the ground in the middle of the pile of corpses suddenly turned upwards, and the sound of twisting chains made people's hearts tremble.
"Hey, Mr.
Gu, you are really accurate in finding me."
Wang Jianggan's voice reached my ears at the right time.
I turned around and looked around, and saw that a silver short arrow had been inserted into the sun carving in the middle of the stone wall at some point.
I didn't have to think twice to know that it was Gu Xinlie who asked Wang Jianggan to make it.
At this moment, in the middle of the place where corpses were accumulated, the ground was completely peeled off and spread out in a hexagonal manner, with black-gold chains tied around it.
These chains were the same ones wrapped around the ankles of the corpse slaves guarding the tomb on top of the tomb.
As the ground opened up, the tomb-guarding corpse slaves on the top of the tomb also retreated to the ceiling, and only a few strands of black hair could be seen.
As soon as the ground was lifted, I was shocked.
But when I saw the scene inside, the corners of my eyes couldn't help but twitch, and I immediately felt like vomiting.
At this moment, in the center of the corpse dump, a mountain of corpses was revealed.
Some corpses had been corrupted to the point where only a layer of purple skin was left.
Some corpses even retained their appearance that was almost the same as before they were alive.
Most of these corpses were adult men, with few women.
They were all piled up in the pit where the corpses were accumulated.

Thinking about it, since this tomb is located deep in the ground and in the heart of Wuling Mountain, these corpses have not completely decayed after thousands of years, and even the eyeballs are only slightly shriveled.
However, the strong fishy smell still makes people reluctant to smell it.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but under the light of the miner's lamp, I just felt that all the corpses seemed to be staring directly at the three of us, which made me feel a little numb.
There is a circle of purple bruises on their necks, and their eyeballs are extremely protruding.
They must have been strangled to death before they were alive.
I swallowed hard.
In a closed and dark tomb, there were piles of corpses like a hill in front of me.
These corpses were all staring at me with pale and lifeless eyes.
I have never thought of such a scenario.
With the appearance of these corpses, the entire corpse place was filled with the smell of corpses, and the three of us simply put on gas masks on our faces.
My right hand was pressed on the trigger guard of the Sterling submachine gun, and my eyes were fixed on the corpse in the pit.
The reason why I look at these corpses like this is to keep the miner's lamp on my head shining on them to prevent these corpses from suddenly transforming into corpses.
If they really transform, there will be hundreds of corpses here, and one person can kill us all in one bite.
Three people ate and only one skeleton was left.
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Gu Xinlie was walking forward along the stone wall, wanting to see if there was an exit from the pile of corpses.
If there was only one pit like this, we would have to bite the bullet and face those disgusting monster snakes.
Whether I was bitten by a snake or a rice dumpling, I feel creepy just thinking about it.
The corpse pit in the center occupies almost 70% of the total area of the corpse accumulation area.
As for how deep the pit is, I don't know.
However, just standing here and taking a few glances, I can confirm that there are at least two hundred corpses in this pit.
However, I also have some doubts in my heart, why are there no bodies of children in this pit?
According to the laws of the time, slaves were slaves, and there was no distinction between adults and children.
Could it be that the owner of the tomb is also planning to imitate King Zhuang and get some boys to lead him to ascend?
Just when I thought of this, I was suddenly frightened by Wang Jianggan's shout, and almost pulled the trigger and fired a round of bullets.
"Young Master Gu, please come and see, there is an old man sitting here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinlie and I walked over to Wang Jianggan.
It turned out that when Gu Xinlie and I were paying attention to this pit, Wang Jiangqian was looking elsewhere.
He glanced and found a shadow on the small slope above us.
He was a little curious, so he stepped up and took a look. .
Originally, we had seen this place when we came in.
There was nothing on it except dense murals, so we never went up there.
But when Wang Jianggan stepped up and took a look, he discovered that there was an old man sitting there.
The three of us immediately took out the fine steel cable, swished it into the wall above the small slope, and then climbed up with the chain.
As soon as I went up, I felt a whirlwind blowing in front of me, which made my gas mask make a little noise.
I immediately rubbed the eyepiece of the gas mask with my sleeve, and then looked up.
In front of us, there is an ancient corpse sitting cross-legged.
He is wearing a black fish-dragon brocade suit with gold-trimmed sleeves.
One look at his attire and it is clear that his identity must be unusual.
This ancient corpse has white hair, a purple complexion, and wrinkled skin.
After all, we are not professional archaeologists, and we cannot guess its age, but looking at its current appearance, Wang Jianggan was right to call him an old man.
The death appearance of this ancient corpse is a bit tragic.
Both hands were cut off at the wrist level, both eyes were gouged out, and there was a fatal knife on the neck.
You can even see the shriveled throat exposed outside the skin, and it can be seen that it is outward.
The skin was purple, and the lips looked as if they had been cut off with a knife, revealing the white teeth inside.

But what surprised me was that the expression on the face of the corpse was very plain, and there were no unnecessary lines on the cheeks, as if it had died a happy death.
You must know that these punishments are absolutely impossible to be carried out after the death of this person.
Since he was still alive, the pain of having his hand cut off and his eyes dug out didn't even make him feel any pain, and he didn't even show the slightest expression of panic.
The ancient corpses on the high slopes, the corpses in the pits, and the corpse slaves guarding the tombs on the roof all exuded a strange aura.
Seeing these with my own eyes, I only felt chills running down my spine, and waves of chills penetrated my body. out.
Wang Jianggan muttered, "Brother, don't say anything anymore.
You died so tragically that my heart goes cold.
Those bastards who killed you are so useless."
As he said this, this guy actually He also reached out to touch the bright weapon in his arms.
Gu Xinlie immediately said: "Don't touch this body.
We don't know what it is."
Gu Xinlie said that he was about to stop Wang Jiangqian, but before he stretched out his hand, Wang Jiangqian had already taken out a jade pendant from the corpse's arms.
I immediately moved my eyes from the face of the ancient corpse to Wang Jiangqian's hand.
I saw that he was holding a green round jade pendant with red ropes tied at both ends.
There was an obscure pattern carved on the jade pendant. .
I couldn't tell what the pattern was, and Gu Xinlie couldn't help but frown, obviously he couldn't tell what it was.
"Young Master Gu, Mr.
Lin, what do you think?
Is this a good thing?"
Wang Jianggan held up the jade pendant and smiled in front of the two of us, with an expression on his face that he had stepped on it.
I don't know why, but looking at the green jade pendant in Wang Jiangqian's hand, I suddenly felt restless in my heart.
As soon as this emotion emerged, it spread through my body like a spark of fire.
I couldn't help but look at the corpse, and suddenly I had the idea of cutting the corpse open with a knife.
As soon as this thought occurred, I was shocked.
I am not a murderer, let alone a corpse abuser.
It’s unimaginable that I would have such a crazy idea.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
"Kill me, kill me" The sound was weird because I wasn't sure who was saying it.
The sound kept echoing in my mind.
Being stimulated by this sound, I felt like I was going crazy.
No matter what I did, I couldn't calm down.
I don’t know whether the phrase “kill me” means killing myself or someone else.
