"They were probably the workers who built the ancient tomb at that time." Ji Lanqian said from behind him.
Qi Baye nodded and agreed with her statement.
At present, this is the only possibility. Perhaps there was an accident when the tomb was being built, and he died in the pool.
As soon as the guess was finished, Jiang He was startled, "Maybe it's true. The group of people who built the tomb back then probably all died here."
I saw countless white bones emerging from the water, floating in a densely packed pattern on the water, which was horrifying.
Qi Tiezui raised his feet and took two steps forward. The water was probably not shallow. When building an ancient tomb, he usually walked backwards. After passing the pool, he reached the tomb passage, which was basically to the outside.
In the end, all the workers who built the ancient tomb were thrown into the pool and drowned. What kind of operation was this?
Burning bridges?
In order to ensure the confidentiality of this mausoleum, it can be seen how cruel it was at that time.
Ji Lanqian couldn't help but get goosebumps on her body. She rubbed her arms, "There are so many corpses, how can we get there?"
She looked at the sacrificial altar in the center and felt more and more perplexed.
Qi Tiezui looked around at his surroundings. It was absolutely impossible to pass through the water. It was estimated that there were water ghosts down there. If he was accidentally dragged down and used as a scapegoat, he would be in trouble.
His eyes stopped on the uneven stone wall on the side, "I can only crawl over it."
Jiang He stepped forward to check. The stone wall was smooth and it was extremely dangerous to climb over it. He took out the flying claw hook from his bag and threw it in the direction of the statue. It just happened to hook the statue firmly, giving them more time to climb over the stone wall. A layer of protection.
"Eighth Master, are you coming first?" Jiang He said politely.
Qi Tiezui waved to him, "You go first, I'll follow you."
"Okay, me first."
Jiang He put his bag on his back, worried about the younger brothers behind him, and went to give them a few more words, saying they should pay more attention to safety in the tomb.
Qi Tiezui turned around and took the rope, intending to tie himself and Ji Lanqian aside.
He hesitated for a moment while holding the rope, staring at her.
"Miss Ji, um... tie you to me, I'll feel more at ease."
She glanced at him and immediately refused, "I learned rock climbing abroad and am better than you. It's unnecessary."
"No, what if I fall?"
"You don't want to tie a rope and take it down with me when the time comes, right?" Ji Lanqian looked Qi Tiezui up and down, obviously it was his body that needed protection.
Where does he have this kind of image?
"Nonsense! How could I do such a thing." Qi Baye continued to urge her, "Stop talking nonsense and raise your hands."
She clicked her tongue and raised her hand to cooperate with him.
He reached out to her and tied the rope around her waist.
This posture seemed like he was hugging her.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
At this time, Jiang He wanted to turn around and urge Master Ba, but he happened to look at Ji Lanqian. The little girl's eyes were filled with warnings. If he didn't interrupt her, she would probably pull out a gun on him later.
After Qi Tiezui tied the rope, he suddenly realized that the two people were too close. He could even smell the fragrance of her body. It was sweet, and it was the foreign perfume she often used, as if it had been pickled.
Ji Lanqian lowered her eyes and stared at his movements, and reminded her, "Are you ready?"
He came to his senses, stood up quickly, and added, "My waist is quite thin, eat more, I'm too thin."
A thin waist?
She looked at him with pretense of doubt:
"Did you touch my waist?"
Qi Tiezui was so nervous that he almost choked on his saliva. He shook his head and said, "No, no, no..."
Jiang He accidentally watched the full version from the side and thought to himself, Damn, a little girl with no hair has been caught like this by Master Ba?
Ji Lanqian's expression was very proud.
"Come on, come on, follow." Jiang He said dryly.
When Master Qi Ba heard that she was saved, he quickly got down to business. It was all his fault for his bad mouth. He tied a rope around her waist. All he could think about was her slim waist. He opened his mouth and said it. .
He almost molested the daughter of a wealthy family. If she was not happy about this, she would not let her commander father kill him with a single shot.
The stone wall under my feet is relatively close to the water and is a bit slippery.
Jiang He was experienced and walked safely, but Qi Baye behind him kept pulling him, for fear that he would fall.
"Ah, Brother Second Monkey, pull me up, quickly." A frightened voice sounded.
The man next to Xue Hou suddenly slipped and fell. His hands did not grasp the rope. After falling into the water, he subconsciously grabbed the bones.
Xue Hou was startled and tried to bend down and reach out to catch him, "Xiao Zhou, catch me."
As he spoke, something in the water seemed to grab Xiao Zhou's ankle and pulled it down hard. The water turned blood red.
Xue Hou almost fell down when his hands shook. From his perspective, he saw clearly that it was a very big piranha.
The man in the water struggled and made a shrill sound. After a sound, he was completely pulled into the water. After that, the entire body of water turned into blood.
Qi Tiezui turned his head to look, muttering some incomprehensible spells.
"There really are piranhas, run away!" Jiang He shouted, telling them to run away. This is not the time to feel sad about spring and autumn.
Suddenly a piranha jumped out of the water. After it jumped out, it jumped into the bloody water. The bloody smell attracted many people to grab food. It looked like it had not eaten for hundreds of years.
This suddenly made people nervous.
Master Ba's feet suddenly slipped and he subconsciously grabbed something.
Jiang He's pants tightened. Fortunately, he had a belt, otherwise Qi Baye would have taken off his pants on the spot.
On the side, Ji Lanqian had already firmly held Qi Baye's wrist, and asked him quietly, "You still said you didn't want to take me down?"
Mr. Qi Ba was in trouble and couldn't say anything, "It's really not true. It was just an accident."
As he was about to arrive at the altar, Jiang He looked at the team behind him. The few boys following him were obviously frightened by this scene. The piranhas in the pool ate one person in five seconds, leaving nothing behind.
After arriving at the altar safely, I turned back to look at the water surface. The piranha inside became very lively and scary.
Qi Baye untied the rope and went to check the statue.
Ji Lanqian thought he would untie it for her at first, but in a blink of an eye, people were looking at the statue, and she had no choice but to do it herself.
"The bones are sacrificed, and the sacred birds are in the sky." Jiang He read the words carved above and seemed to understand what it meant. The bones in the water were all used to sacrifice to the statue.
"That's right. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a small country that believed in sacred birds. Their nominal sacred bird was called the bird, but later it became called the mourning bird for some reason. The things they sacrificed became more and more evil. At first, birds were used Later, it was developed to use human bones. This is to pray for blessings and help the dead tomb owner enter the Tianmen and become an immortal." Qi Tiezui analyzed.
This is the story he has surmised when he arrived here these days. It is even very possible that Shenge is a clan member left behind by this small country.
