The fat man nodded and said, "It's cruel enough.
If this fire breaks out, not to mention the things in the underground palace, the whole city may suffer.
They are determined to fight the enemy to the death."
I couldn't help but shudder.
Today, we are no different from invaders to this ancient town.
We don’t know how many traps are waiting for us to fall into the trap.
Guo Laizi and the other three were one step ahead of everyone else, and they must have discovered the secret of kerosene long ago, but they remained silent and did not even give a single word of warning.
The careful thought involved in this is terrifying.
I suddenly felt that every step I took could lead to hell at any time.
Fortunately, the brick path is not long, and there is an arched door frame every ten meters or so.
I counted carefully, and after walking through twenty-three arches, my eyes gradually became brighter, and my vision suddenly became clearer.
Guo Laizi and others stood at the end of the brick path and looked around.
I strode out of the brick path and found that we were in a palace of shadows.
There were cold fires for lighting hung at the four corners of the palace, which were very similar to the fluorescent sand that I had seen in the general's tomb.
The fat man immediately covered his mouth and nose when he saw Leng Huo.
I pulled up the windproof towel and said to the others: "The sand in this lamp is weird.
Once inhaled, it can easily cause hallucinations.
Stay away from them."
Teacher Sha was very well prepared.
He took out gas masks from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
Fatty and I also had our share.
Guo Laizi walked around the four walls, knocking here and there, but could not find a way out.
He turned to us and asked: "Why does the road end?
Where is the treasure in the underground palace?"
I explained: "This room is a shadow hall, which is usually found in large tombs.
It is often used to frame the portraits of the tomb owner during his lifetime, which is equivalent to a place to display the portraits.
According to the system, there should be a dining hall below for this purpose.
The place we are going to make sacrifices is the main hall, whose basic layout is similar to the hall with the murals."
Guo Laizi nodded and praised: "Xiao Hu indeed has two brushes, and he talks about the things in the underground palace like treasures.
I did not misjudge the person.
Then you can tell me, now that the four walls are sealed, where is the entrance to the Zhai Palace hidden?"
Teacher Sha said angrily: "The meaning of the layout here needs to be discussed, it is better not to move forward rashly."
The fat man had always looked down upon this sour scholar, and said disdainfully: "Hey, I heard what Professor Sha meant, there is another explanation.
That's great, could you please say a few more words, so that we can all learn together."
Teacher Sha held up the thick bottom of the bottle, raised his index finger and asked: "What is this?"
We all looked up at the sky.
The round dome hung high above our heads and was painted with a huge monocular pattern with symbolic meaning.
The eyeball plays an extremely important role in Jingjue culture.
Seeing this ominous mark again made me feel sick inside, and the painful past events in my memory resurfaced.
Except for me and Fatty, it seemed like this was the first time for everyone else to see the monocular pattern.
Guo Laizi raised his neck and gestured: "There seems to be an eyeball painted on the roof.
What's wrong?
What's the explanation inside?"
Teacher Sha shook his head: "Pedantic and pedantic, who asked you what was painted on it?
I asked you where this place is."

The fat man immediately asked: "Isn't it the Shadow Palace?"
I was startled and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why is there a shadow palace that shouldn't appear in a cellar specially used to store supplies?
Unless there is another tomb underground.
The others hadn't figured it out yet, so they all looked at him with doubts.
I quickly raised my flashlight and looked around for the portrait.
If this is really a studio, there will definitely be a portrait of the tomb owner hanging there.
Once confirmed, what awaits us ahead will not only be the cellar containing the secret treasure of the town, but also the thousand-year-old corpse whose identity is a mystery.
When the fat man heard that there was a tomb, his eyes gleamed: "It's great to have a tomb.
The bright weapons are much better than those messy murals."
"The little fat man is interesting."
Guo Laizi admired the fat man's magnanimity very much and said with a fearless attitude, "You will make a fortune by raising the coffin.
It is a good thing to have a tomb to dig.
Don't panic, I'm sorry.
An income, hahaha” Of course I don’t think there is a problem with you being a big boss, but after all, the tomb is an unusual place with many taboos.
If you are not careful, you will end up with no bones left.
In the end, you don’t even know how you died, let alone get promoted.
The big dream of spring and autumn is to get rich.
"Things are not as simple as you think."
Teacher Sha put his hands behind his back and said mysteriously, "We have been wandering around the ancient city for half a month, but we have never found half an inch of bones.
Most of the city has been explored.
There are neither mass burial tombs nor official burial mausoleums.
At that time, I felt strange that Zhenku City had been moved here for more than hundreds of years, and there was not even a cemetery inside or outside the city.
Isn’t it possible that no one has died in Zhenku City?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze blew from nowhere, and the cold fire in the corner flickered, illuminating everyone's faces with terrifying expressions.
I just felt that my throat was tight and I couldn't breathe smoothly.
Without caring about anything else, I immediately took off my gas mask and started breathing heavily.
Seeing that I had no signs of poisoning, they all took off their masks.
Zhong Quan and San Gou were covered in sweat and pale.
From time to time, they secretly turned around and looked around, fearing that something would pop out of nowhere if they were not careful.
The fat man took the opportunity to scare them.
The two of them were startled and pulled out their guns, which almost went off, causing everyone to sweat.
Guo Laizi suddenly felt that he had lost face and cursed them for not seeing the world.
I pretended to scold the fat man, but couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.
The white-eyed wolf that Guo Laizi found was strong on the outside but strong on the inside.
He couldn't cover up the scene at all, let alone destroying the tomb and opening the coffin later.
This little episode made the atmosphere in the movie palace even more tense.
I thought about Teacher Sha's remarks and felt that he had some reservations about Zhencucheng.
It's a pity that he deliberately kept it secret and refused to say anything further.
I was too lazy to chat with him, because I was worried about the identity of the owner of the tomb, so I raised my flashlight and focused on examining the portraits hanging on the four walls.
Under the dim light, a picture of sheepskin texture slowly came into view.
I couldn't help but hold my breath and move the flashlight so that the light beam stayed in the center of the parchment.
In the ancient scroll, there is no portrait of the tomb owner that we expected, but a jagged white skeleton with the head and feet misaligned.
A pile of bones suddenly appeared in the portrait.
Xiaosi almost jumped up.

He looked at the parchment in an exaggerated way: "Old Sha, the painting is a skeleton, so shameless and skinless."
Everyone was silent and looked at me in unison, as if waiting for an explanation.
I also wonder in my heart, the portraits usually found in the film palace are always somewhat decorated and beautified.
In ancient times, there were no cameras.
Who knows whether you were handsome or ugly?
Add more money for weddings and funerals, so that the painter can promote the owner of the tomb in a positive way.
The image is also understandable.
No one wants their descendants to see an ancestor who looks like a crooked melon and cracked dates when they come to worship.
The parchment we found in the underground palace did the opposite.
Hanging in the center of the Shadow Palace was actually a skinless and fleshless skeleton.
The owner of the tomb was painted like this and enshrined in the Hall of Shadows.
I couldn't help but wonder how much enmity the tomb builder had against the deceased.
"Mr.
Guo, whose tomb are we digging?
Why does it look like this?
I grew up digging in graveyards.
I see a lot of dead people.
What a ghost."
"Hush, there are no rules."
Guo Laizi also knew that it is strictly forbidden to talk about ghosts and gods in the tomb.
He pushed away the three dogs, walked to me, and whispered, "We are not here to learn.
We can't understand the weirdness in the painting." .Where is the way into the main tomb?
Have you found it?”
What he said made sense, but at this moment, an atmosphere of terror and tension had already filled the crowd.
If you don't figure things out and continue to go deeper, it will only be counterproductive.
I kept searching in my mind for the funeral customs in Zhenku City, and suddenly I discovered that no matter the official historical records left by the archaeological team or the unofficial history notes found from Partridge Sentence, there was not a single word about related matters.
The word "death" seems to have been completely stripped away from the lives of Zhenku people early on.
Reminiscent of the mural of bones floating on the altar in the main hall, as well as the history of leaving one's hometown and moving across the city, various strange clues echoed with the skeleton portrait hanging in front of him, outlining an impossible answer.
At that moment, I was almost driven crazy by my own imagination.
The soles of my feet softened and I almost fell to the ground.
At this time, someone stretched out his hand behind me and gave me a hand.
I turned around and saw that it was Teacher Sha.
His expression was completely different from others, calm and composed, with a smile on his lips.
"You figured it out" He asked questions haphazardly, leaving everyone unsure of how to answer.
I bit the bullet and said, "Without conclusive evidence, anything you say is useless."
"Everything we see is evidence, you just don't want to believe it."
"Immortality has always been a human fantasy.
Of course I don't believe in things that go against the laws of nature."
"Pedantry."
Teacher Sha asked the short-haired woman to take off the parchment and put it in her luggage.
"Mr.
Guo, I am interested in this painting and want to take it back for research.
Do you think it is suitable?"
