【Chapter 391, The Secret of the Sarcophagus】

After coming out of the cold stone room, the six Xiao Lou and the six Gui Yuanzhang continued to walk deep into the maze.

In the hallway paved with stone slabs, the wind was blowing, and everyone had goose bumps from the cold. In the quiet corridor, only the sound of everyone's breathing and footsteps remained.

Lao Mo has been checking the direction with the compass, and their route is still heading east, but not directly east, but a slight deviation of about 10 degrees toward the east.

After walking a certain distance, Lao Mo stopped and looked around, and said, "How big is this ancient tomb? After we came out of the stone chamber, we have been walking for ten minutes, and we still haven't found anything?"

Xiao Lou was also puzzled. He looked at the floor plan drawn by Lao Mo. Since they left the secret chamber of six paths of reincarnation, they had been walking in a straight line. After walking about 500 meters, they found the first sarcophagus, followed by a long straight line, and there was no any fork in the road.

He pressed the voice headset and asked about the situation on the other side: "Return to the seniors, did you find anything there?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "No, a straight corridor, there are no murals on the surrounding walls, and there are no organs."

Xiao Lou asked again: "Where is the direction? It still hasn't changed?"

Gui Yuanzhang looked down at the compass in his hand, and said, "Yes, it's the same as before."

Xiao Lou said helplessly, "Go on, keep in touch."

Everyone walked forward for a few minutes, and finally found the magnificent murals on the wall again.

Yu Hanjiang held the night pearl to illuminate, and Xiao Lou walked over to observe it carefully.

The content of the mural is still depicted from infancy to adulthood, but this time the mural does not contain a wedding scene. Judging from the clothing and hair, the protagonist of the mural seems to be a man.

Xiao Lou observed the murals more carefully this time because he found clues to the mother clan's totem in the murals just now. The man's black hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, a simple and elegant wooden hairpin was inserted, and a jade pendant was worn on his waist, with the shape of a crescent moon painted on it. The last mural seems to be a scene of joining the army? The man wore the armor of an ancient soldier.

Xiao Lou was startled: "It's not a woman this time?"

It was previously speculated that the owner of the tomb married young girls from many tribes for sacrifice and buried them alive in the ancient tomb... Now that men appear in the murals, this speculation is wrong.

After reading the murals, a stone gate appeared in front of it.

On the stone gate is a simple Taiji diagram, as long as the pattern is restored, the mechanism can be opened. As Xiao Lou guessed, there was still a sarcophagus in the stone room, and the blood oozing from the cracks of the coffin had already solidified and turned black.

Will he fall into hallucinations again this time and another wraith will appear?

Everyone took a step back warily, staring at the sarcophagus warily.

However, a minute passed and nothing happened.

Xiao Lou said: "Open the museum and have a look."

Yu Hanjiang pulled out his saber and split open the lid of the sarcophagus.

Inside the coffin lies a white bone, wearing armor. Due to the age, the metal armor has long been oxidized and blackened. He holds a jade pendant in his hand, which is the same as the one in the mural. The jade pendant is engraved with a crescent-shaped mark.

Xiao Lou leaned over to look carefully at the condition of the bones, and speculated: "A grown man, he should be around 25 years old. He also had signs of a violent struggle before his death, and all the bones in his hands were broken."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the bones in the coffin: "The sarcophagus just now was a bride, but this time it seems to be a soldier?"

Xiao Lou couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he asked Gui Yuanzhang in a low voice: "Senior, what did you find?"

Gui Yuanzhang also entered the stone room. Chu Huaying opened the coffin neatly and found a white bone lying quietly inside. A necklace was hung on the neck of the bone. The pendant was a bit like a wolf's tooth, with strange totems drawn on it. .

Gui Yuanzhang said: "I found a corpse and a totem necklace, and the clothes should be coarse clothes."

Xiao Loudao: "Look at the pelvis of the corpse. Is the upper part peach-shaped or oval? The angle at the bottom of the pelvis is an acute angle of about 70 degrees, or an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees?"

Chu Huaying was right next to the coffin, and when she heard this, she said, "Peach-shaped, the included angle is an acute angle."

Appears to be male again.

When the corpse is decomposed to the point where only bones remain, the most critical thing to identify male and female is the pelvis. The female pelvis is oval, and the included angle of the lower pubic symphysis is more than 100 degrees, which is convenient for childbearing. Men don't need to give birth, so the angle under the pelvis is sharp and sharp.

Xiao Lou told the other party this conclusion: "The newly discovered bones in the secret chambers on both sides are all men. Our side seems to be a soldier. Senior, your side should be a literati?"

Ye Qi said: "The mural we saw just now seems to be the scene of the top student in high school?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

This underground ancient tomb is full of weirdness.

When the bodies of the two brides were first discovered, everyone thought that the owner of the ancient tomb deliberately married some young girls and buried them alive. Since the owner of the tomb is a general, he might be a lecherous person. Before he died, he dragged some women to accompany him to hell. Maybe he also has the idea of ​​"sit and enjoy the beauty" after death?

Now it seems that is not the case.

Two more male corpses were found in the tomb. Judging from the jade pendants and necklaces left on their bodies, they still belonged to different tribes. The only thing in common was that the people buried alive were all young.

Therefore, the priest

What exactly does the formula represent?

Xiao Lou couldn't come to a conclusion for the time being, and said, "Everyone, keep looking, we have to find all the sarcophagi."

After leaving the stone chamber, everyone walked a distance further. There was a corner in the corridor ahead, and the angle with this road was an obtuse angle of about 135 degrees.

Xiao Lou stopped at the corner and said, "Old Mo, check the direction."

Lao Mo picked up the compass and adjusted it carefully, and said: "The compass pointer, this direction... should be true north."

true north?

Suddenly changing direction, everyone couldn't help being more cautious.

Along the way, some murals appeared on the walls on both sides of the passage. This time, the protagonists of the murals are two children, and they are bouncing and playing. They look very lively and cute.

There is only one mural, and a stone door appears next to it.

Xiao Lou pushed the Shimen lightly, and it opened without using a mechanism.

There was still a sarcophagus in the room, so Yu Hanjiang split the lid of the coffin with a saber without Xiao Lou reminding him.

The picture inside the coffin made everyone's scalp tingle——

I saw two lovely children sitting in the coffin, they looked only about seven or eight years old, a boy and a girl. The girl was wearing a bright red dress, with two braids on her head; the boy was wearing a white dress, with his hair tied up on his head. The skin of the two children did not rot, and they looked like...alive!

In the coffin in the tomb, two vivid children suddenly appeared, and Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help taking a quick step back.

At the same time, Ye Qi's voice sounded in Xiao Lou's ears. He was obviously frightened too, and his voice trembled slightly: "Professor Xiao, there are two children in the coffin this time, a boy and a girl!"

The next moment, the boy and the girl suddenly opened their eyes, with two lines of blood and tears in their eyes.

The two children cried "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" They stood up and stretched out their arms, as if asking Xiao Lou to hug them.

Yu Hanjiang drew out his saber warily, protecting Xiao Lou behind him.

Seeing the two children walking towards everyone step by step, Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling: "This secret room is just like shooting a ghost movie! Why is the child in the coffin still moving? Is it a hallucination again this time?"

Xiao Lou took a deep breath: "Close your eyes, don't look, don't listen."

Everyone immediately did so. After a while, the strange crying of the children in his ears disappeared. Xiao Lou opened his eyes and saw that the two children were still sitting quietly in the coffin without moving a bit.

He whispered, "This is the virgin boy and girl of the living sacrifice."

When Ye Qi heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at it, and said: "I have heard a saying that when many high-ranking officials in ancient times died, they would find some virgins and virgins to bury them alive. Going underground to serve them?"

Xiao Lou explained: "The ancients believed that even mortals have immortal energy in their bodies. Especially boys and girls, who have spiritual roots in their bodies, have stronger immortal fate and luck than ordinary people. Therefore, the ancients liked to use virgins and virgins. Bury yourself, and help yourself become immortal after death."

He looked at the two cute children in front of him, tightened his fists slightly, and said in a low voice: "After death, the body rots, and the immortal energy will leak out. In order to prevent the immortal energy in the bodies of boys and girls from leaking out, they When the children are still alive, they will forcibly inject a large amount of mercury into the children's bodies, so that their bodies will remain as they are, as if they are still alive."

"..." Lu Jiuchuan gasped, "That is to say, capture the living boys and girls and pour mercury into their bodies? How do you do this?"

"I have read some information, usually pouring mercury from the child's mouth, and dig a hole in the top of the head, back, soles of the feet, etc., slowly pouring mercury. After the mercury enters the body, these children will not immediately Death, but let the mercury flow all over the body, and slowly die in pain. Mercury has a strong antiseptic effect, so that the corpse will remain fresh for a long time." Xiao Lou's voice could not help trembling, so cruel It was also the first time he had seen the sacrificial burial system with his own eyes.

"Fuck!" Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing, "These bastards are slowly torturing children to death, and they still want to become immortals? They should go to the 18th floor of hell for doing such evil!"

"It seems that these two children also look like living people because of the mercury poured into their bodies." Yu Hanjiang has also been refreshed. Some burial systems in feudal society are really ignorant and cruel.

Xiao Lou's words were transmitted to the ears of Gui Yuanzhang and the others through the voice headset.

Qu Wanyue looked at the two children in the coffin, and clenched her fists tightly: "Is it true that the owner of the tomb is for the so-called immortality? So many people were buried alive for him?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "There is also a saying that if you let living people die for you, you can not only help yourself become immortal, but also let these buried people serve you as servants and maidservants in another world."

He glanced at the cold sarcophagus, looked at the two children in the coffin, and said in a deep voice: "The living burial coffin we found so far has two young and beautiful brides, two strong young men, and two pairs of Boys and girls, according to this logic, after the death of the tomb owner, there are wives and concubines, servants, and boys and girls to help him cultivate immortality, which can be said to be very complete."

Everyone: "..."

Such a person still wants to become a fairy? Should go to hell to accept 18 kinds of torture, right?

Gui Yuanzhang leaned over and took two charms from the backs of the two children.

At the same time, Xiao Lou also discovered the spell on the child.

He leaned over to take down the charm, and said: "In legend, it is used for burial

The virgin boys and girls must not only keep their bodies intact, but also imprison their souls in the tomb, be loyal to the owner of the tomb, and never be reincarnated. This spell should be used to suppress the souls of these children. "

Everyone: "..."

Did the painful cries of the children just now come from their sealed souls?

Everyone doesn't know what to say.

Xiao Lou took off the talisman, wondering if it was a kind of relief for the children?

****

【Chapter 392, Hunter】

Everyone came out of the stone room and continued to move forward.

At a corner, Yu Hanjiang stopped suddenly.

His ears keenly heard a strange footstep, Yu Hanjiang immediately held his breath, and whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "Someone is following you."

He is a professional criminal policeman who often tracks criminals, so he also has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance.

The corridor was paved with bluestone slabs, and the sound of footsteps was very clear. Tang Ci and Liu Qiao stayed in the pockets of their teammates. They were a group of four, and there should be four footsteps. Lu Jiuchuan's footsteps were heavy, Xiao Lou was light, and Lao Mo walked slowly because he had to draw pictures while walking...

And the footsteps that came to his ears just now did not belong to any of his teammates.

When Xiao Lou heard Yu Hanjiang's words, the scene of Iron Tree Hell suddenly flashed in his mind—the hunter who was hung on the iron tree, pierced his chest with a sharp blade, and bled to death.

That was just one of the hunters, and she was definitely not the only one who sneaked into the maze.

so……

Maybe the one following behind is the hunter? !

Xiao Lou's mood suddenly became tense. He lowered his voice and asked in Yu Hanjiang's ear, "How many people are there?"

Yu Hanjiang pricked up his ears to listen carefully, and said: "The footsteps stopped, the other party was very cautious, and I can't tell how many of them there are at present. However, we can keep monitoring."

Xiao Lou understood, looked up and looked around, and found an ever-burning lamp in the corner.

Then, he left the [Drone] card that Tang Ci gave before leaving behind the side and rear of the long light, so that due to the light, the long light will block the drone, so that the other party will not be aware of the existence of this monitoring .

After discovering that Xiao Lou was on the monitor, Lu Jiuchuan and Lao Mo were about to speak, but Xiao Lou made a "shh" motion on his lips, and the two immediately shut their mouths. Yu Hanjiang made a gesture, which meant that someone was following him.

Lu Jiuchuan's face changed slightly, and he asked with his lips: "The hunter?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded.

After Xiao Lou set up the monitor, he informed Ye Qi with a tacit understanding: "Xiao Ye, there may be hunters chasing behind you, you must be careful. Be careful, don't say anything, and find a way to tell your teammates as soon as possible."

Ye Qi heard Xiao Lou's voice in his mind, and quickly wrote a few words in the palm of his teammates: "There are hunters following."

Gui Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and looked back at Long Sen and Qu Wanyue.

The two looked at each other, and immediately leaned against the wall, using the "chameleon card" to blend in with the surrounding environment.

The chameleon card can be used for invisible detection and is not easy to be found. Long Sen and Qu Wanyue quickly disappeared behind everyone like two balls of air. Walking this way furtively, the two immediately turned back and reported to Guiyuan Zhanghui: "Three, two men and one woman, wearing silver masks."

Chu Huaying said: "So few people? Could it be the most capable elite?"

There is also a strict hierarchy within the hunter organization. Ordinary hunters usually enter low-level secret rooms, worlds like 3 of Spades and 4 of Spades to slaughter newcomers. Intermediate hunters often appear in A-level secret rooms and Zhou Chang secret rooms. The team that can get here has a lot of cards in their hands and is experienced, so it is not so easy to deal with, so hunting missions often fail.

Since the other party already knew that Lu Jiuchuan was in this team, they only sent so few people... Perhaps, the ones they sent this time were all elites with strong abilities.

Chu Huaying followed Lu Jiuchuan in and out of Zhou Chang's secret room many times, and killed countless hunters. On the hunter alliance's reward list, the name of the Spider Queen topped the list. She also has a certain understanding of this organization, walked up to Gui Lao, and lowered her voice: "If there are three elites, we should have a chance of winning six against three."

Gui Yuanzhang shook his head: "Don't startle the snake, wait and see what happens to Xiao Lou."

The six of Xiao Lou continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, while discussing the situation of the maze and the sarcophagus. On the surface, it seemed that they did not realize that they were being followed by the hunter.

A man and a woman breathed a sigh of relief and moved on.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, Xiao Lou was holding a card in his hand. The card was like a mobile phone's video window, which could clearly display the surveillance images in the corridor.

He saw a man and a woman walking towards this side. Both of them were wearing silver masks, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but judging from their walking movements, they should have pretty good skills.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other, then pointed to a stone door next to them.

Yu Hanjiang nodded and stepped into the door, followed by other teammates. No sarcophagus was found in this door, but there was a step leading to the top.

Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan quickly hid on both sides of the stone gate, while Xiao Lou said loudly, "There are steps here, which should be the exit of the maze. Let's go up and have a look."

Lao Mo cooperated with acting: "Let's go, everyone be careful."

Then, Xiao Lou and Lao Mo pretended to climb up the steps, but actually jumped down after walking a few steps and hid in the stone room

in the corner.

The room became extremely quiet, and Ye Qi's voice sounded in Xiao Lou's mind: "Professor Xiao, there are three hunters on our side, and Sister Huaying wants to get rid of them. How is the situation on your side? There are many hunters. ?"

Xiao Lou said: "There are only two, let's do it, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

These hunters should be the vanguard sent to investigate their situation. They didn't want to kill them in Zhou Chang's secret room, so they followed behind and observed secretly.

Back then, Lu Jiuchuan led a team of more than a dozen people to kill several times the number of elite hunters. His fame and strength were enough to make the hunter organization fearful. Before finding out the details of Lu Jiuchuan's new teammates, they will not act rashly.

If Xiao Lou and the others fall into an extremely dangerous situation in the maze, these hunters may take the opportunity to come out to take advantage and give them a fatal blow. And once they deal with it calmly, the hunter may never appear from the beginning to the end.

These five hunters don't know how much information they have, so they can't be put back anyway.

Time passed by, the secret room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and everyone held their breath.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in my ears.

The man and the woman seemed to think that they had already gone upstairs, so they followed quickly and walked into the stone room.

However, as soon as the two entered the door, they were greeted with a sharp saber!

Yu Hanjiang struck quickly and ruthlessly, slashing at the man's neck, the sharp blade almost broke the man's neck! And the man's reaction was also extremely quick, almost the moment Yu Hanjiang swung the knife, he immediately bent over and took a side-sliding step, avoiding the blade in a thrilling manner, while sinking his body, and retreated as quickly as if he was wearing roller skates.

Lu Jiuchuan's Frost Sword followed closely behind, sweeping across, the tip of the sword was icy cold.

The man raised a strange metal shield to block Lu Jiuchuan's freezing airflow. The eyes behind the mask were as sharp as eagles. He sneered, "It's not so easy to kill me with you alone!"

Yu Hanjiang was too lazy to talk nonsense, directly took out the pistol, installed the noise reduction equipment, turned around and aimed at his metal shield——

A bullet pierced through the air and hit the center of the man's shield, creating a cluster of spider web-like patterns, but it didn't hurt him at all. The man smiled and said, "My shield is bulletproof..." But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.

Because, Yu Hanjiang's second bullet followed closely behind, and it shot right in the middle of the pattern where the bullet exploded just now. With a "poof", it shot through the shield and shot directly into his chest!

The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell straight to the ground.

The metal shield can still be broken if it is shot at the same position twice in a row.

Lu Jiuchuan praised: "The marksmanship has improved."

Another tall woman, sensing that something was wrong, immediately turned and ran away.

Xiao Lou was already prepared.

He had drawn a lot of metal rings just now for backup. At this moment, he lifted his hands slightly upwards, and countless rings fell from the ceiling densely like a net, and the woman's legs were instantly ensnared, making her unable to escape for a while.

Lu Jiuchuan jumped up, pierced out with the ice sword in his hand, and sealed his throat with one sword!

The woman's body twitched twice, fell to the ground, and soon stopped breathing.

Lu Jiuchuan walked over and took off her mask. At the same time, Yu Hanjiang also took off the mask of the man who died at the door of the stone chamber... They all looked ordinary. He frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, have you seen these two hunters?"

Lu Jiuchuan shook his head: "No." He tore off the back collar of the woman, revealing the black totem tattoo on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "From the point of view of the tattoo, it should be an intermediate hunter, and the advanced one is not so easy to deal with. However, since the organization I have already found out my whereabouts, and only sending these few as cannon fodder, isn't it too contemptuous of us?"

Xiao Lou was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "Run!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the two hunters suddenly exploded into pieces with a "boom"!

The entire secret room was full of flames, and the oncoming heat wave almost knocked Xiao Lou to the ground. Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan ran fast, otherwise they would be blown into flying ashes.

Following the explosion of the hunter's corpse, the maze began to shake violently, as if the entire ancient tomb started to shake, shaking so much that everyone couldn't even stand still.

Liu Qiao's expression changed: "Is this place going to collapse?"

Yu Hanjiang immediately flew over with light work, and firmly grasped Xiao Lou's hand: "Go!"

Lu Jiuchuan simply rode on Suzaku, cursing: "These bastards actually engage in suicide attacks? Fuck, put bombs on them, thanks to them thinking of it!"
