I shone my flashlight carefully on that wall and squinted my eyes for a long time.
Only then did it become apparent.
There was actually a living person nailed to the wall with iron nails. In other words, it was no longer a living person, but a living dead person.
The man's body was already rotting, and there were dense patches of corpses all over his body.
This man's chest and legs were hammered with soul-fixing nails, and he was staring at the cliff.
The person's head and arms can still move at will.
His arms were positioned just right to reach the edge of the cliff and reach up some distance.
The reason Cui Hao was almost pulled down before was because the arm at the edge grabbed his leg, which led to Cui Hao's accident.
Cui Hao had climbed up behind me. Seeing me staring blankly down, he followed my gaze and looked over.
After seeing the corpse staring at the cliff, Cui Hao couldn't help but complained in shock.
"Oh my God, how could the people under this earth be so cruel? They nailed corpses alive to the wall. Those on the wall must be the living dead!"
I nodded, took back the flashlight and stopped looking.
These living dead are similar to zombies without intelligence, and the only reason for their existence is to scratch and bite.
Generally these things are manufactured and used to suppress tomb guards.
They are never interested in dead things.
But these things are very sensitive to light, and the same is true for people.
Whenever someone passes by, they will scratch and scratch, eager to take a bite of this person's body.
It was precisely because these living dead were nailed to the wall that the two of us were not hit just now.
If we had just taken it lightly, they might have caught us on the cliff and eaten us clean by now.
I withdrew my gaze and quickly crawled up the edge of the stone slab.
There is no use in looking too far.
I have to enter the palace as soon as possible to check the situation.
Cui Hao also followed behind me, crawling up quickly.
The two of us finally reached the top at a very fast speed.
I came to the flat roof and quickly untied the rope. Cui Hao followed closely and slumped to the ground with me.
I was climbing too seriously just now, so I didn't feel scared.
Now that I'm back on level ground, my legs are shaking and as soft as two noodles.
Cui Hao is no better than me.
The two of us just lay limply on the flat roof, looking up at the stone wall above.
This underground space is extremely high. I shined a flashlight upwards and saw a familiar scenery.
Above my head is the stone bridge.
At this time, there were still corpses wandering around the edge.
I pointed and nodded.
"Cui Hao, why didn't we see this building below before? Above our heads is the scene in the Gate of Death that we encountered when we first went to the tomb. Look, what is above us is the Yin-Yang Bridge."
Cui Hao looked up in the direction of my finger with a sharp look in his eyes.
"No wonder I always feel like I can't see the bottom of it."
Cui Hao raised his feet and looked down.
"Tell me, if we go further down, will the bottom place be the underground river?"
My pupils shrank, thinking that this guess was not impossible.
The two of us looked at each other, and neither of us spoke.
After resting for another half moment, the two of us got up and walked directly towards the palace.
Enough rest, now we have to take a closer look at what's inside.
I dragged Cui Hao to the front of the palace.
The palace here is magnificent, and the palace is very much like the palace of an ancient emperor.
Among them, there are countless carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions.
The extremely ornate architectural decoration shows the extravagant decoration of this place.
I even saw clearly that the two emerald green trees standing in front of the door were actually carved from jade.
The tree trunk is coiled with gold wire, which is wrapped into bones and bent around to form the shape of branches.
At the end edges of the branches, leaves were made of emerald green jade, and they were wrapped around the tops of the branches one by one.
Just these two trees are worth a fortune.
Seeing the two jade trees in front of him, Cui Hao could no longer walk.
He stretched out his hand and fiddled with the tree carefully twice. He didn't know how this guy did it. After a while, he got off a few leaves.
He held the emerald green leaves in front of his eyes and looked at them. After a long time, he couldn't help laughing.
"Master Xiaoman, why don't you go in by yourself? I already have my goal. Let me tell you, just these two trees, I will tear them all down and take them out and exchange them for some money."
He stared at the whole tree with regret.
"The key can be used to drive the excavator in the ground. Now I have dug up the entire tree and brought it out. This is too magnificent. How can anyone live such a luxurious and extravagant life?"
"Fat man, are you dreaming in broad daylight?"
If all the leaves and everything else were removed from this thing, it would be worthless.
When the time comes, he goes out with a piece of jade leaf, but he won't be able to sell it for much.
I stopped Cui Hao, grabbed his arm and walked towards the palace.
"Hey, hey, don't drag me. You asked me to tear the leaves off here, so don't move!"
While I wasn't on guard, Cui Hao reached out and picked off a few leaves at the top of the tree crown.
I just felt embarrassed and quickly dragged him towards the palace gate.
"Stop it, it's useless. If you think about it, if you take this thing out, it's just some carved jade leaves, and you can't sell it for much. Why bother? There are such big treasures at the door. There must be a finished product, wouldn't it be better if you go in with me than if you stay here?"
Cui Hao was moved by my words. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped and silently chased after me.
"That seems to make sense, then I'll go in with you."
As he said that, he smiled and chased me to the gate of the palace.
The palace is towering, and there are even auspicious clouds hanging on both sides.
The auspicious clouds are also carved from stone, hovering just outside the palace, making the entire palace seem to be in the clouds.
Cui Hao couldn't help but be shocked by the scale of this palace, and couldn't help but tighten my arm.
"It's so stunning, I want to move the entire palace now."
I didn't bother to talk to him, so I dragged him to the palace gate as quickly as possible.
I took a breath and turned back to look at Cui Hao.
"There may be danger inside, please stay back and be careful."
Cui Hao moved away nearly one meter.
After confirming the retreat route, I pushed the door open with all my strength.
I immediately ducked to the side to avoid the oncoming mechanism.
But I was overthinking it.
After the door opened, it was extremely dark inside and there was no sound.
Confused, I took out my flashlight and pointed it at the center of the hall.
The entire palace is extremely gorgeous. There are all kinds of tables and chairs inside, and there are even huge banana fans carved out of stone on both sides of the front end.
A dragon chair is set up in the center of the hall.
At this time, there was a dark figure sitting on the dragon chair.
Because the location is too far and the range of light that can shine is insufficient, I can't see the face of this thing clearly. But I can clearly feel that this is a humanoid shape.
Cui Hao obviously also saw the figure above the dragon chair.
He took a breath and silently leaned close to my ear.
"What the hell is this? Is there an author and a living person in it?"
As he spoke, he looked behind us unconfidently.
"Or is it possible that the person sitting inside is also a living dead, exactly the same as those nailed to the wall outside."
I shook my head in disbelief.
I don’t know what’s inside, so I can’t make any guesses yet.
But I know it's definitely extremely dangerous.
After thinking for a while, I tugged Cui Hao's arm.
"Cui Hao, let's go to the left and right. I'll step forward half a meter before you. Then I'll go and see what's on the dragon chair."
I solemnly handed the dagger in my hand into his hand.
"You stand behind me with a weapon. If something else attacks from behind, then you can fight back in time. If I need support, you can also come over and help me back up."
there is always a solution to a problem.
We are already here, so naturally I will not retreat back.
Seeing my firm attitude, Cui Hao could only nod and agree.
He held the dagger and followed me silently.
I took long strides to carry the bridge and walked into the palace.
I raised my flashlight and looked around to check the situation.
Above the main hall, the four corners around are filled with colorful pottery figurines.
These pottery figurines are tall, and the expressions on their faces are carved so lifelike that they look exactly like living people.
They performed various movements and bowed humbly to the figure on the dragon chair above, looking extremely pious.
Follow their movements.
The person above the dragon chair...
I couldn't help but tighten my grip on Cui Hao and take a step back.
"Don't go forward, retreat."
Cui Hao was startled by me and hurriedly came to my side.
"What happened? What happened?"
I raised my flashlight and pointed it at the king above the dragon chair.
"look by youself."
Cui Hao followed the flashlight and looked over, and he couldn't help but feel clever.
"Didn't this guy lower his head just now? Or did we see it wrong? Why did he raise his head all of a sudden?"
I stepped back half a meter and shook my head slightly.
"I don't know. I just lowered my head when I looked at this guy. I don't know when he raised his head."
I was frightened and quickly grabbed Cui Hao's arm.
"The two of us walk close to each other and try not to confront this guy head-on."
Do not know why.
I had a vague premonition in my heart, and I always felt that the guy in front of me seemed to be a living person.
And his eyes fell on the two of us, staring at us closely.
They seem to move their eyes as we move.
I dragged Cui Hao and shined a flashlight on the king above. I slowly moved to the right, walked to the pottery figurines, and stood behind two of the ministers.
At this time, Cui Hao also discovered something strange.
He pointed at the figure directly above in disbelief.
"Master Xiaoman, are this guy's eyes moving?"
