Chapter 199

I glared at Zhao Wuji, and he immediately did not say anything. Regardless of whether the cigarette butt was extinguished by the cold air in the snowy mountain or the lights were blown by the tomb robber's ancestor, we must go and take a look at this cave. I was about to go forward, but Liu Qingshan stopped me and said, "Ba Qian, I'll explore the way."

His eyes were very firm. Before I could say anything, he squatted on the ground and unbuttoned his backpack. Then I saw that there was only a wooden box in Liu Qingshan's backpack. There was nothing else except this box. He carefully took out the wooden box and placed it on the ground, and then respectfully kowtowed twice to the wooden box.

Zhao Wuji himself didn't know much about Liu Qingshan. When he saw this strange scene, he lowered his voice and said, "Is this guy carrying a god on his body? Is it useful to hold Buddhism again at this time?"

"It's not a statue of god, it's something else." Lao Hei said with a frown.

"What is that?" Zhao Wuji said.

"It feels very familiar, but I can't say it." Lao Hei said.

At this time, Liu Qingshan opened the wooden box after kneeling down. Zhao Wuji leaned over and took a look. He said in surprise: "Shadow Puppet?"

I was also a little curious just now, and suddenly I suddenly realized that when I first met Liu Qingshan, he was a stage master who specialized in sing shadow puppets for dead people. However, I later realized that his true identity was the third young master of the Liu family. It was precisely because of this that my relationship with him gradually became unfamiliar. At this time, Liu Qingshan placed the well-made shadow puppets on the ground, and there was a small square in the lower right of the box, with a small blue and white porcelain vase and a slender brush in it. He opened the small green wood porcelain vase and dipped it in it with a brush. When he saw the redness on the tip of the brush, I realized that the things in the small green wood porcelain vase were cinnabar.

"What is he going to do?!" Zhao Wuji exclaimed.

"He wants the finishing touch." I said.

After I finished speaking, sure enough, Liu Qingshan gently tapped the third brother's shadow puppet's eyes with a brush dipped in cinnabar. After clicking, Liu Qingshan stood up, he picked up the gong and knocked it softly.

"clang!"

The sound of the gong is extremely crisp.

The next moment, the three shadow puppets actually stood up and danced.

“Great.”

I suddenly became tense, because it was not the person who made this laugh, but Liu Qingshan’s three shadow puppets.

Liu Qingshan started a comeback.

"clang!"

With the sound of the gong, the three gongs began to get up and walk towards the cave. Liu Qingshan followed them and looked at the gong gently. Every time the three shadow puppets hit, they took a step forward. In a blink of an eye, three shadow puppets were in front and Liu Qingshan was behind, and they had already walked to the entrance of the cave.

"What kind of trick is this?" Zhao Wuji exclaimed.

"His shadow play is made of human skin. The little ghost has eyes but no beads. When he lights his eyes, he will see the road." Lao Hei said.

As soon as Lao Hei finished speaking, Liu Qingshan put away the shadow puppet and put it back on the box. He waved to us to show safety. We immediately followed us. When we walked to Liu Qingshan, Zhao Wuji said, "Brother, you are quite fun, where did you do it?"

"I was traveling abroad in my early years and made a living by posing shadow plays. When I asked the deceased to go on the road, I met a few corpses who refused to go on the road, which were the zombies you mentioned in this industry. I took their skins to make the shadow plays of this man. I took them by my side over the years, and I told them what I thought about when I was fine. After a long time, I have had feelings for these little things. I have encountered many obstacles that I cannot overcome in the past few years. At the critical moment, these little things are the most righteous. I originally made six, and three helped me block the disaster, and only these three were left. Thanks to the lack of formations in front of the entrance of the cave, if there were, I am afraid that these three would leave me." Liu Qingshan sighed.

"Is that the longer the zombie, the higher the Taoist craft, the more powerful the villain you make? I know a few places, there are a few thousand-year-old zombies in it. When the matter here is over, I will take you there. Pull off the skin, and will you give me a few villains?" Zhao Wuji said.

"In theory, this is said, but doing this is just because of boredom. After leaving them over the years, I don't dare to do it anymore. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go in." Liu Qingshan said.

After saying that, he put away the gong and turned on the flashlight, and walked into the cave first. The three of us followed. When the three and four flashlights were shining at the same time, the entire cave was illuminated. The cave was surrounded by extremely hard black rocks, and some small dark grids were carved on the rocks, and there were extinguished candlesticks in the dark grid. People here did not live in the cave, and the surface of the stone was very hard. Carving the candlesticks here is a secret cave. It is obvious that this cave must have played an important role in the past, which undoubtedly made us even more excited.

After passing through a not-so-long depth, the light from our flashlight suddenly couldn't gather in front. It was obvious that the cave suddenly became wider in front.

"Be careful, I think this place is not simple." Zhao Wuji said.

We became more cautious, and when we walked in front, Liu Qingyun suddenly stopped. We were not walking very fast, but everyone was very nervous. He suddenly stopped and directly let Zhao Wuji hit him. I hit Zhao Wuji again. Zhao Wuji looked up and exclaimed, then staggered and rolled downwards. Lao Hei's movements were quick. He rushed over and grabbed Zhao Wuji and stopped Zhao Wuji's whereabouts. When Zhao Wuji stabilized, he covered his head and glanced around and cursed: "Where is this tm?"

What made Zhao Wuji roll down was a staircase. Below the staircase was a round place similar to a swimming pool. This place was very big. After looking around, I felt dizzy and my scalp was numb, because the bottom was full of corpses, densely packed.

Because there is a pit below, the position where I am standing is still at a high point. From my perspective, I feel that the pit is densely packed with heads. Because it is too dense, I can't even see the body of the people behind me. It can only be seen from the row in front that these corpses maintain the sitting posture of the lama meditating. When I suddenly looked over, I thought that there were many believers listening to the lama's lecture.

Because it is very cold here, these corpses are relatively well preserved. They have a layer of frost on their faces, but the skin under the frost emits bursts of purple, which looks very terrifying.

Zhao Wuji stood up, and after looking around, he said, "It seems that I'm right. This cave is the ancestral tomb of this Lost City, but there are too many dead people here. Just the size of this ancient city, how many families can there be? A family of four will have to die for so many generations to die before there are so many people?"

Lao Hei frowned tightly and shook his head and said, "Old Zhao, you are afraid you guessed wrong."

"Hmm?" Zhao Wuji said.

Lao Hei did not speak, but walked into the pile of dead people and started walking through. Because the corpses were placed very densely, he would inevitably touch the corpses when he was walking inside. The sounds made by the corpses when they fell to the ground were very crisp, and it seemed that the whole body was already frozen.

"Lao Hei, are you a profession sick? You want to rush to see the body?" Zhao Wuji shouted to him.

Lao Hei did not respond to him, and still walked through the pile of corpses. Zhao Wuji couldn't see clearly what Lao Hei was doing below. Because I was at the high point, I saw Lao Hei's every move very clearly. Lao Hei was looking at the face of each corpse. He did not go too deep, because it was not easy to pass through the pile of corpses. After turning a long circle, he walked out and said to us: "The corpses here are all adult men. Judging from their facial features, they should be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. If this is really the ancestral tomb of this ancient city, they buried the remains of their ancestors here in the form of ice burials, then could it be that the lifespan of the people in this ancient city is very short? And most importantly, there is no woman, all men."

After Lao Hei said this, Liu Qingshan and I walked down. We didn't enter the pile of corpses. We looked around the outside and found out that the problem Lao Hei was talking about was all male corpses, and their facial features were all about middle-aged people.

"Then what do you think should be?" I asked at Lao Hei.

"Their clothes are very thin, and they are uniform cotton and linen clothes. There is absolutely no way to keep warm here. This means that their status is very low, with low status and so many people. All of them are adult men. If I am not wrong, they should be prisoners of war. Lao Zhao and I used to enter an ancient tomb in Shandong, where there is a large burial pit. The situation inside is similar to this one, but the number of people is much worse than this one." Lao Hei said.

"You really mean that in ancient times, the status of those who were buried with burial were very low. They were either prisoners of war or slaves. Judging from this situation, the probability of prisoners of war was indeed higher. However, so many prisoners of war were killed here, is it also a burial pit? Who can be buried with so many people? " Zhao Wuji said.

None of us can answer Zhao Wuji's question. Looking at these dense corpses, although they did not move, I still felt a little scared in my heart. I said to them: "Don't worry about these corpses. It's pitiful to be frozen to death by someone as a burial object when he was in his prime. Let's look for any herbs or clues, and save people first."

As soon as I finished speaking, water suddenly dripped on my head. I reached out to touch it. The water was a little sticky and smelly. When I looked up, my legs immediately became soft. I saw a dense layer of human faces on the ice above our heads!
