Chapter 36 Chapter 35: A Mass of Corpses

I subconsciously patted my body and got up, stepped back and stepped on something again, judging from the outline and the feel of the foot, it must be that dead body again.Sure enough, Er Xia and Mao Jindao behind them yelled almost at the same time, and they both turned on the flashlights. Under the illumination of the three wolf eyes, the surrounding area became much brighter, and the objects within a range were already visible, all of which were of the same color. pile of dead bodies. Damn!I just felt sick for a while, and although I was somewhat less afraid of corpses now, the piles of dead corpses still made me feel dizzy.Turning around to look at other people, Ah Yan didn't scream as loudly as I imagined, but just looked at the corpses around her, frowning and pursing her lips, and looked away again.

I teased her: "I thought you would scream in fright, but I didn't expect your psychological quality to be really good. I underestimated you before!" Ah Yan still frowned, lightly brushed the hair on her forehead and said: "Huh! What's the matter? They are all dead things. If you look at them as antiques, you won't be afraid. They will never stand up and bite you Take a bite!" As she spoke, she looked around nervously, and it was obvious that she was still a little scared. We got together, worked hard to overcome the fear in our hearts and moved forward, hoping to leave this ghost place soon.The ground is full of dead bodies, presented in different postures before our eyes, making us inevitably see those terrifying faces distorted to the extreme.The corpse was obviously highly decayed, but it was not that kind of decay, but severe dehydration, the whole body was black and blue, and it was in the state of a mummified corpse. The flesh on the face seemed to be broken at a glance, and the clothes on the body were severely moldy and decayed. But still able to tell the color and style apart.The clothes on many of the corpses were very similar, or even exactly the same. At a glance, they could be identified as military uniforms, which had probably faded over time, showing a grayish-yellow hue.

I became suspicious, bent down close to those corpses, observed carefully with a flashlight, opened a corpse with my feet, and found a large three-eight cover, some ancient spears, blades and the like, and some ancient If you search carefully, you will find more weapons and the like. Er Xia and Mao Jindao also found something on the side, and shouted at me: "There are also steel helmets and guns that were discovered before, and they are also Japanese troops! But what's the matter with these ancient swords and guns?" Mao Jindao said, While gently trying to turn a corpse over with his feet, the corpse was dehydrated and very light, and the metal knife didn't take much effort, so the corpse was turned over and fell to the side.Looking at the indistinct "Yong" character on the clothes, coupled with the red tasseled crown still on the head, we are sure that this is the attire of soldiers of the Qing army.

Looking around, the piles of corpses were either from the Qing army or the Japanese army. It seemed that they couldn't find anything else. It was obvious that these troops died for some reason when they came here. Mao Jindao wondered: "Why are there still troops from the Qing Dynasty here? And they are also with the Japanese troops?" Er Xia said: "Could it be that the two sides had a fight, and both sides suffered losses, but this is a joke, and the timing is wrong! Didn't you say that the Japanese soldier was from World War II before? It doesn't match the Qing Dynasty. what!"

I said to him: "It must have appeared at the same time, or the Qing army appeared first, and the Japanese army came many years later, but they all died here for some reason." While speaking, Mao Jindao squatted down and observed the corpses quietly. He stretched out his hand and picked up the hat of a Japanese soldier corpse with a dagger while asking us: "Do you think this is the same as the Japanese soldier in the cave before?" A stock? Because Heizi once said that there was a Japanese army that entered the mountains before and then disappeared. I don’t know if it has anything to do with this!”

I understand that if I search these corpses one by one at this moment, I may still find some clues, but seeing the number of corpses in front of me and the disgusting appearance, I quickly gave up this idea and felt it on these corpses. Touching it is not a good thing. So a few people took a symbolic look at their shoulders, or other places on the military uniform that could display the unit number, but unfortunately we found nothing, so we got up on the spot, Er Xia said: "How did these Japanese soldiers finish playing? You guys Look at their equipment, they have guns and ammunition, and it is said that these 38 big guns can pierce several people with one shot, so why did such a large number of people get caught by something?"

Hearing what Er Xia said, I became nervous, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable. Such a well-armed army was wiped out here for no apparent reason. What is there that even guns can't deal with?Isn't the situation of the few of us very... Worried, A Yan said: "It's not necessarily that they were killed in battle. I feel that these corpses are still very complete in shape. There are scars, but from our perspective, their military uniforms seem to be relatively complete, and they don't look like they have been through battle!" Hearing what she said, Mao Jindao seemed to have thought of something, stepped over the corpse in front of him, came to the other corpse, and looked around carefully. We don't know what tricks he is up to, and we can't talk about it What help, I can only use the flashlight to shine on him to provide him with some convenience, watching him look around, look around, busy for a while, and walk towards us.

"The clothes seem to be undamaged, but there is no food around all the people!" Mao Jindao said, "I think we can boldly think that they were trapped to death! They came in, but they couldn't get out, and they were all trapped. Die here! It can be seen from the corpse that the scene was very panic, it may be that these people have been greatly stimulated!" "What's the reason why they can't go out?" Er Xia was shocked, and Ah Yan immediately replied to him: "It's the thing we encountered just now, you know how scary it is!" Ming sound!As soon as I heard it, I understood what Ayan was referring to, and I couldn't help feeling nervous. After Ayan finished speaking, she seemed to feel nervous too, and stretched out her right hand to tightly hold the Southern Territory Fulong around her neck.

I tried my best to divert my attention, put my eyes on another type of corpse, and then said to them: "These corpses of the Qing army are here, why are they here? Could it be that they also have some actions, or are they here to attack?" From this place?" After I finished speaking, I thought about it, and based on the analysis of the previous situation, the possibility of the Qing army attacking here is relatively high. This may be a trap set by the owner of this palace to allow his enemies to sneak in. If these are true, it will be more possible It proves that this dynasty is indeed an anti-Qing regime, and these Japanese troops probably entered here by mistake, got caught in this thing and were destroyed.

Er Xia said: "Last time when Ming Xiang appeared, there was something strange, this time I don't know what kind of ghost it is! And I feel like a big guy, Mao Jindao! Did you feel something too? " Mao Jindao said: "Take the things on the ground as other dead things. Don't think about dead people, so you won't be afraid." So he beckoned us to get together, carefully passed the pile of corpses, and went to the corner of the wall. place close. This place is simply a burial room. I believe that there is no exit from the top. There must be other exits leading to other places. In fact, I don’t know if there is any exit. It’s just my wishful thinking. I really hope that I can It is really depressing to walk through this pile of corpses by creating a door in this wall with that kind of power.

Suddenly, there was a "rustling" sound.I was so startled that I stopped all of a sudden, and when I scanned the flashlight, I saw a few huge mice crawling past quickly.I wonder, since there are rats here, why are the corpses so intact?Even mice dare not eat their meat?While pondering, there was another burst of the same sound. "What sound?" The sound in the darkness also caught their attention. I took photos of the mice and they were gone, but the sound still kept coming. Could it be the sound made by the mice?And the voice seemed familiar to me. I was puzzled and walked against the wall. There are not so many corpses in other places here, so it is much more convenient to walk, and we are mainly looking for whether there is an exit or not.The sound still came from time to time. I don’t know if it’s because the sound from the corner is transmitted well, or because we’re closer to the sound source. I always feel that the sound is clearer. I listened to my forehead and began to sweat. I also had goosebumps all over my body at the moment, so I quickened my pace and was about to walk forward. The light of the flashlight once again saw a dead body lying in front of me. It was loaded.As soon as my back foot landed, Er Xia jumped forward with a scream and hugged me. He came so suddenly that I couldn't stand still and fell forward all of a sudden. "Damn it! How can this thing still move?" Er Xia pointed at the corpse, opened his eyes and said to me in fear.I looked there, and as soon as the flashlight gathered, I saw that the corpse on the ground raised its hand slightly, and quickly lowered it again, looking weak. "Is he alive? This person is not dead yet?" I was taken aback, and I took two steps forward. I had just seen the corpse clearly, and quickly took a few big steps back, leaning against the wall before standing. Steady, pointing at it and tremblingly said: "Xiangshi! This is actually Xiangshi!" This is a special ritual on the southwestern border, and it can also be said to be a criminal law or witchcraft.Generally, the tortured person is first given a kind of medicine, the stomach and intestines are washed clean, and then the person is checked for wounds, and then forced to swallow the female worm full of eggs alive, and finally the seven orifices are sealed.Insect eggs will gradually hatch, develop, and reproduce in the human body, but as long as the human skin is not broken and the environment is kept sealed, it will not be a problem for a long time. Those who wash the sand call it the ring corpse. These things live in this dark and dry environment all year round, so they are particularly sensitive to changes in light and temperature.The airtightness of this human skin is excellent, and the chrysalis inside are dormant for a long time like hibernation. Once the skin is broken, the chrysalis inside will swarm out towards the light source when they encounter air. What are poisonous insects and bees. Only then did I understand why the voice just now always felt familiar. It turned out that this was something we had seen more than once. I was so frightened, and I couldn't help taking a few steps back, leaning sideways against the wall.Unexpectedly, this time I was in vain, I was too busy to step back, and I didn't even notice how there was a hole in the wall. I took this hole as a wall and leaned against it. I lost my balance and fell directly into the hole. In a panic, I picked up the flashlight and struggled to get up. I looked around, and suddenly cold sweat came down like rain.
