At the moment after listening to what the old man said, everyone except Kong Ling, whether it was He Fei and others gathered on the left or Abdullah and others on the right, were confused and showed blank expressions. It is not surprising that everyone was confused. But they didn't understand what the old man was talking about. If there were really spiritual fluctuations, then they could just say there was a ghost here, and everyone could run away immediately. But strangely, the old man said that this fluctuation was not a spiritual fluctuation. , but an unknown energy that is similar to the fluctuations of a spiritual body but is definitely not a spiritual body?
With strong doubts, He Fei and others looked at each other. Everyone looked at each other subconsciously. Unfortunately, no one guessed the answer. Fortunately, there are no absolutes in anything. Although the Shenzhou team headed by He Fei still cannot understand the old man's meaning, as a Teammates who have been with each other for a long time, the Arab team headed by Abdullah, gradually understood. After thinking for a moment, Ives took the lead in testing Haller and asked: "You mean... there is something here? Someone A being that is neither human nor ghost?"
Ding! There is no reason, no reason. As soon as Ives said this, everyone, including Abdullah and Osborne, was startled at first, and then their faces all turned pale, and sweat broke out on their backs. Some of the timid ones were even more so. I was so frightened that my legs became weak! Among them, Chen Shuihong, Tao Mei and Gao Chengliang were the most obvious. The three people who had been calm just now had their hearts beating wildly after listening to Ives's tentative guesses, and their faces were as white as paper. Among the crowd, Chen Shuihong's fat face twitched. If there weren't many teammates around him, Fatty would probably turn around and run away without saying a word!
As for why everyone turned pale and fearful after hearing Ives's guess? The answer is simple, because they have experienced a similar encounter, or they have encountered something that is neither human nor ghost! Like zombies!
Yes, zombies are a special kind of existence that is neither human nor ghost. As early as when they entered the tomb, they encountered a thousand-year-old zombie in a tomb. It was the zombie that they saw. The military zombie is a zombie that kills people. What’s even more terrifying is that in addition to being extremely powerful and invulnerable, the zombie is also immune to props. No supernatural props can have an effect on it. In order to deal with the zombie that looks like a human but not a ghost. , the executors tried their best and used almost every method, but the result was completely useless. No matter how they attacked or risked their lives, they could not actually do anything to the zombies. In the end, Hui Jue, who had activated his golden body, collapsed accidentally. The wall, with the help of the collapsed wall hole, allowed everyone to escape by chance. From the beginning to the end, the executor never eliminated the military zombie. .
Humans are creatures with good memories, so naturally, after hearing Ives's guess that he looked like a human but not a ghost, no matter who he was, everyone instinctively thought of zombies. Could it be... could there be zombies here too! ?
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly lost their composure. While being enveloped by the chill, they also felt an uncontrollable desire to retreat. They thought that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and they wanted to leave this strange hall as soon as possible. Of course, everyone was just doubtful as to whether there were zombies at the moment. Ives was just trying to ask, the key depends on how Haller answers, so...
"I can't tell exactly what it is."
Haller's answer made some people who were still hoping for luck suddenly feel their hearts high. At this moment, Ives fell into silence and instinctively looked back at Abdullah and Osborne, while Abdullah and Osborne Both looked at Haller and Ives, and it was certain that the four of them were currently in some indescribable state of hesitation. In fact, it was not only Abdullah and the others who were hesitant, but He Fei and others next to them were also flustered and did not know what to do. , Fortunately, this did not hinder He Fei's next actions. After he and Zhao Ping looked at each other, He Fei nodded. Then, under He Fei's signal, everyone took action and began to move cautiously with flashlights. , for a moment, the crowd divided into two groups. Among them, Cheng Ying was leading a few people to find an exit to leave here, while He Fei was leading the rest towards the big tree.
Seeing that the Shenzhou team took the lead, Abdullah did not hesitate. After exchanging glances with his teammates, the Arab team was also divided into two groups. Abdullah and Osborne were responsible for checking the hall to find the exit, and Avis and Haller followed He Fei and others closer to the big tree.
When I came to the central tree, I saw that there were indeed seven locust trees standing here. The locust tree is a unique tree species in China and is extremely adaptable. It grows in both the south and the north. However, the locust tree is also known as the ghost tree. According to folk rumors, The locust tree is a kind of ghost among trees. It is easy to attract ghosts due to its strong yin energy. Therefore, Feng Shui prohibits planting it in houses and buildings.
Near the house, although these are just rumors, the rumors are not groundless. At least in the minds of many people, the locust tree is an ominous tree. Now that they see it in Diling, everyone feels scared. At this moment, looking at the body He Fei was thinking about the first few thick locust trees, trying to see Ni Duan in them. Zhao Ping, who was following him, was also looking carefully at them with his glasses. .
During the observation, everyone soon discovered a problem, that is, although the several locust trees in front of them were not much different from ordinary locust trees, the rhizomes of these locust trees connecting to the ground were extra thick, basically showing a thin top and bottom. It has a thick inverted corner shape, and the branches and leaves on it are extremely dense. The lush leaves block the view, making it impossible to see what is on it. Seeing this, He Fei frowned slightly, Zhao Ping's eyes flickered, and at the same time Kong Ling and Tang followed. Meng and Huijue were also surprised by the strange appearance of these locust trees. Only Ives and Haller, who were foreigners, were a little confused. After all, there were no locust trees in their country, so strictly speaking, this was their first time. When you see a locust tree, you are right to say so, but it does not hinder your observation, it is just...
As he watched, for some reason, regardless of others, Kong Ling gradually felt a feeling he had never experienced before. The feeling came from his field of vision. At this moment, in Kong Ling's eyes, the scene he saw was obviously the same as everyone else's. But she didn't know whether it was because of the close distance or because she had been looking at it for too long. Gradually, she seemed to see some other scenes. For example, now, she could faintly see the leaves above shaking slightly. The leaves moved automatically without wind at first, and then became more permeable. A human scene appeared...
In the gaps between the branches and leaves that are too lush to see, there are a lot of things that are too nihilistic and unclear, that is, the outline of human faces. Countless human faces that are incomplete because of the leaves are looming in the gaps. At the same time, just when Kong Ling discovered the outline of the human face, Haller's expression next to him also changed unknowingly, as if he sensed a complex and changeable aura, which caused him to hesitate. In fact, whether it was Kong Ling's vision or... Haller's perception was unclear to both sides. In Kong Ling's current field of vision, she could see many outlines similar to human faces, but the faces were extremely unclear, causing the girl to be unsure for a moment. In Haller's consciousness, , he was also hesitant and hesitant due to the high and low fluctuations in his perception, which made the two of them unsure. If they were not sure, they could not talk nonsense. So for now, both sides just continued to observe and try to find some kind of evidence. .
At the same time, while He Fei and others were observing the locust tree, Cheng Ying and others, who were responsible for finding the exit in the hall, quickly found the long-awaited connecting exit, which represented the exit. It is a square stone door hidden in the darkness.
"Huh? Look! Door, there's a door over there!"
The moment he discovered the stone gate, Peng Hu was overjoyed, said hello, and immediately ran towards the stone gate. Cheng Ying, Tao Mei, Chen Shuihong, Abdullah and Osborne also followed him with happy faces. This is not surprising. They were happy, but it was too strange here. If the muddy and humid environment was enough to make them nervous, then Haller's previous description of perception further pushed the tension to the top, making everyone think of this extremely strange place. The quagmire hall was on tenterhooks, and because of this, they couldn't wait to leave. Fortunately, they finally found the exit, and then they only needed to open the stone door, and then they could leave this ghost place.
He came to the door full of joy and didn't wait for anyone else to speak. Peng Hu searched for it without saying a word. He used his flashlight to observe carefully around the door, as if he was looking for the door-opening mechanism in his mind. Yes, because he was in Diling. After staying for a long time, the executor has confirmed a rule, that is, there are three types of doors in Diling, namely wooden doors, iron doors and stone doors. Needless to say wooden doors, all the wooden doors encountered during the period have been damaged due to the passage of time. It has become decayed and tattered over time, and is the type that can be opened with a push. The iron door is extremely strong, and there is often an iron lock on the door, but this still cannot stop the executor, let alone Cheng Ying and Li Tianheng, two masters of unlocking. , even if not, as long as the executor is willing, it can still be violently destroyed. It is nothing more than a waste of energy and time. On the contrary, the last stone gate has brought a lot of trouble to the executor. In my impression, whenever you encounter a stone gate, it is often accompanied by a relatively serious There is a huge danger, and the danger undoubtedly comes from the mechanism. For example, the first time everyone encountered the stone door, there was a hidden mechanism. After pressing the button, the stone door opened, but what followed was a large number of crossbows. Two-faced is even more vicious. He actually uses human habitual thinking to change the agency. If
If Zhao Ping had not warned them in time, they would have been wiped out. Now that they encountered the stone gate again, Peng Hu naturally looked for the mechanism to open the door. .
"Found it!" As expected, after Peng Hu and others searched for it, they found clues on the wall next to the stone door and found a stone brick with a large gap. As expected, this stone was It is the button that opens the stone door. As long as it is pressed, the stone door will be opened at that time, but the problem is...
As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, or in other words, the moment he found the mechanism, he saw Peng Hu, who had been full of joy just now, covering up his smile, and his expression turned solemn. The expressions of Cheng Ying and others next to him also became serious. Question, after having an experience of almost destroying the group, this time they had a long memory and no longer dared to press the door button at will. With a strong sense of caution, Abdullah said from the side: "The one from before There was a spear trap in Shimen before. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was cautious and we were able to survive. But this time..."
Seeing that Abdullah hesitated to speak, Osborne then said: "I guess there is still a trap?".
No one knows whether there is a trap or not, but at least Cheng Ying will never dare to open the door at will. Chen Shuihong, who was almost stabbed by a spear and turned into a hedgehog, has no guts to suggest opening the door. Tao Mei and Gao Chengliang are also shrinking next to them. He looked around his neck, as if looking for some clues. Not to mention, after a near-death experience, at this moment, even though he found the mechanism to open the door, no one talked about opening the door anymore. He looked around for the first time. He said this was true, but it was also true. As soon as Osborne finished speaking, several people took action immediately after looking at each other, and began to look around in front of the door, as if looking for that unknown person. There was no trace of the agency, and Gao Chengliang was somewhat unlucky during the process.
Plop!
"Oops!" Just when the young man imitated the others and walked around to check around the stone gate, he only took two steps. The young man felt the sole of his foot slip. Immediately, his body lost balance and fell on the spot, and he fell into the muddy ground. .
"Hey, Gao Chengliang, don't you have eyesight when you walk? Can you fall down?" Seeing the young man accidentally falling down, he cried out in pain. Since he was the closest, Chen Shuihong cursed him first, then casually went to pull Gao Chengliang away, but for some reason, he clearly knew that he was He stretched out his arm towards the young man, but Gao Chengliang ignored him. He neither answered nor stood up. Instead, he kept turning around to check, while his eyes were always fixed behind him, staring at the ground where he had just tripped. .
It is said that once a person falls, he will often look back to see what he tripped over. Others are like this, and Gao Chengliang is no exception. Sure enough, as soon as his body fell, he didn't bother to wipe his face. In the muddy water, Gao Chengliang subconsciously turned around and shined the cat's eye flashlight behind him. As the flashlight beam shone behind him, Gao Chengliang was stunned. Even Chen Shuihong who kindly extended his hand next to him ignored him and just stared at his feet in surprise. The ground, and the reason for his daze was...
What he saw, what he discovered, at this moment, something like a column protruded from the ground near the foot where he had just tripped.
"Then, what is that?"
"Huh?" Sure enough, seeing Gao Chengliang staring at his feet and muttering to himself, Chen Shuihong was attracted, so he instinctively looked back behind him, and then he also saw the cylindrical object protruding from the ground. At the same time, he witnessed the reaction of the two people. Something was wrong, Cheng Ying and others nearby also came to check the situation.
"Huh? What is this? Is it a trap?"
"I don't know, it's all covered in mud, so I can't see it yet."
At this moment, looking at the cylindrical object protruding from the ground in front of them, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and no one could tell what it was. Only Cheng Ying had a different look on her face. Without any clues, his eyes were solemn, as if he was thinking about something. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Peng Hu's patience has been exhausted. Obviously, due to his irritable personality, after observing for a long time, he still can't figure out the reason. Finally, the bald man lost his patience and said at the same time: "Can't you see? I don't believe it yet!"
"Hey, Lao Du, let's dig around and see!"
As mentioned before, because it was clear that this mission required entering an underground mausoleum, both the Chinese team and the Arab team purchased a lot of professional tools in advance before going up the mountain, including several of good quality.
There are engineering shovels, Peng Hu is currently carrying one, and Abdullah is also carrying one. Sure enough, after looking at it for a long time with no results, Peng Hu immediately decided to dig, said a casual greeting, and then Peng Hu talked with You Abdullah, who had the same intention, picked up the shovel and started working together, working hard to dig out the column under his feet, but...
After digging and digging, something unexpected happened to Peng Hu, Abdullah and everyone present:
As the two shovels flew up and down, the column that was exposed from the ground gradually revealed its complete shape, and its shape turned out to be that of a highly decomposed human corpse! The cylindrical object that tripped Gao Chengliang just now was the corpse's arm! .
Seeing that the shovel dug out a human corpse, everyone's expressions changed drastically for a while. The senior ones were okay. Facing the corpse, a few people were just surprised and shocked, but Tao Mei and Gao Chengliang were collectively frightened and turned pale. Chen Shuihong, who held the title of a senior, couldn't help but feel his fat trembling. As he looked, he saw that there was indeed a human corpse in front of him, but it was not bones, but a highly decomposed corpse. Perhaps it had been soaked in the mud for too long. For a long time, it is now impossible to tell whether the corpse is male or female. All that can be seen is the internal organs and rotten flesh that have been turned out due to a high degree of decay. The face is even more rotten beyond recognition. As the corpse is exposed to the outside world, an order comes. The unpleasant smell of nausea gradually dispersed and poured into the nasal cavity, making everyone frown. Tao Mei couldn't help but bend over and retched. Before it was over, when everyone subconsciously raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, Cheng Sakura discovered something, such as...
With the bright light of the cat's eye flashlight, she saw that the surface of the corpse was covered with vegetation, and some things were considered tree roots no matter how you looked at them. What was even weirder was that these roots were connected to the corpse, or in other words, the roots were directly inserted into the corpse. of! .
The corpse is abnormal!
This was the first thought that came to Cheng Ying's mind when she saw the above scene. She was about to remind everyone to look at the rhizomes, but Osborne, who was next to her, spoke first, pointed at the corpse and said in surprise: "Look, there is something on the edge of the corpse. !」
After being reminded by Osborne, everyone hurriedly followed their fingers to look at the edge. Sure enough, they saw what seemed to be an arm on the edge of the body. Seeing this, no matter Cheng Ying, Peng Hu or Abdullah, including the already timid Chen Shuihong Everyone inside was breaking out in a cold sweat. The moment they discovered the other arm, their heartbeats accelerated, sweat broke out on their backs, and then...
With a tentative mind in mind, after looking at everyone with fearful eyes for a few times, Peng Hu picked up the shovel and continued digging. Since the site was covered with mud, within a few digs, another human corpse with the same death condition was dug up. came out, and then...
The second body, the third body, the fourth body, the fifth body...
In just two or three minutes, Peng Hu dug out more than a dozen rotten corpses in a small area of less than 10 meters! This is not over yet. If you continue to look through the edge of the pit, you will see that there are still traces of corpses next to it!
After witnessing this scene, soon, a terrifying conjecture that could make everyone's liver and gallbladder burst into tears uncontrollably emerged in everyone's mind, that is...
There are corpses here. The whole hall is full of human corpses. There are thousands of dead corpses buried in it! ! !
Not only that, every corpse that was dug out and exposed was covered with a layer of tree roots, and the roots were densely covering the corpse. There was no exception during this period!
Staring at the large number of rotting corpses in front of her, Cheng Ying's body began to tremble. Peng Hu, Chen Shuihong, Abdullah and other executioners who witnessed the corpses all trembled. Their hairs stood on end and their faces were white as a result of the horrific reality. Paper! Tao Mei was even more frightened and hugged Peng Hu. The moment she guessed that there were dead bodies under her feet, her soul was shattered. In her fear, an idea gradually gathered in Cheng Ying's mind, and finally emerged from her twitching mouth. Slowly emerges:
"Corpse place."
Yes, just now, after seeing the corpses with her own eyes and guessing that the entire underground hall was probably full of corpses, Cheng Ying thought of a Feng Shui word, which was the place where corpses were raised. In her memory, Chen Xiaoyao once spent her free time there. Wu Shi has explained the metaphysics of Feng Shui to everyone, and he has talked about the Corpse Raising Ground. The so-called Corpse Raising Ground is actually a Feng Shui area that has been changed due to the special soil environment. It is said that corpses buried in the Corpse Raising Ground often It will not rot or the rotting speed is extremely slow. Over time, a large amount of Yin Qi will gather near the corpse. As for the result of the gathering of Yin Qi,
What? Chen Xiaoyao didn't say anything, but even if Chen Xiaoyao didn't finish, after seeing the dozens of rotting corpses in front of her, Cheng Ying was instantly confirmed. As expected, this hall should be the legendary corpse raising hall. If not, then why didn't these corpses turn into bones? After thousands of years, the corpse still retains a lot of flesh and blood! ?
If Cheng Ying just thought of and casually said the word "corpse raising place" through corpses, then what about the countless tree roots covered with corpses in front of her? Why are there roots all over the ground? Also, why do these rhizomes kill the corpse?
"What? Corpse raising ground? Could it be that thing that Chen Xiaoyao said before?" As soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, Peng Hu, who had also listened to Chen Xiaoyao's Feng Shui explanation, also reacted and was about to ask Cheng Ying to confirm the authenticity. Unexpectedly, Cheng Ying stood up and ran to the opposite side. No doubt, with fear in her heart, Cheng Ying planned to inform everyone and tell He Fei this horrific discovery as soon as possible.
As for He Fei and the other executors who gathered in front of the tree? .
Including He Fei, no matter who it is, everyone is staring at the locust tree. They are still standing in front of the tree and looking at it carefully as before. In order to obtain confirmation as soon as possible, Kong Ling and Haller, who have a special sense, have been doing their best to find it. Evidence, but strangely…
After staring at the locust tree for about 5 minutes, He Fei's brain gradually began to drift into a trance, and he became more and more hazy without any awareness!
