Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1495 Blindfolded Living Dead

From the chain on the door, it can be seen that no one has entered this place since a long time ago!
Although it is above the ground, it is like an ancient tomb buried in the soil, and there is no human habitation all year round.

However, what was unexpected was that when the door was pushed open, accompanied by a burst of smoke and dust, Ghost Knife immediately took a step forward vigilantly, blocking in front of Chen Zhi.

Ghost Saber made a gesture to signal them to stop, then looked inside, then turned around and said softly to Chen Zhi:
"Be careful, there are living things inside, more than one~~"

This sentence really shocked everyone, especially the little monk, who was already scared out of his wits.

Before coming here, the abbot of the Great Mercy Temple has made it very clear that there is no one in charge of the relic courtyard tower.

If there was really someone in the yard at this time, it would definitely not be the staff, let alone the monks in the temple.

Who would that be?

Hearing Ghost Saber's words, Fat Wei also took a few steps forward, picked up the lamp in his hand, looked inside, twirled some soil on the ground, and stretched out his nose to smell it.

I saw that the ground in front of me was covered with large pieces of hard sand, which was condensed after years of no green plants.

And in the hazy darkness, some dark objects could be seen casually scattered on the ground.

I don't know what life it is from. I can't see what it's for, but it's so dilapidated that it might turn into trash if you touch it.

"Damn~~",
Fat Wei sniffed the sand in his hands and said softly,

"It shouldn't be, such a quiet place!

Why..., why does tnd smell like zongzi, and it's still old and rotten for a long time, it's really evil! "

"Do you mean that there are dead people here?",
Chen Zhi said softly, stepped in with one step, turned on the flashlight in his hand, and shone forward.

The courtyard is indeed very spacious, leading directly to a stone-paved avenue in front, which is a typical courtyard structure of the Tang Dynasty.

On both sides of the avenue, there are many meditation rooms. This layout is very common. Almost every ancient temple will have this arrangement. Buddha statues are enshrined in the front, and monks live in the side rooms on both sides.

These meditation rooms are all in the style of the early Tang Dynasty, and they probably have never been repaired. There are no windows and doors, and some even have half of the roof collapsed, looking dilapidated.

However, behind the door openings of those meditation rooms, there are dark ones, which look like monsters with huge mouths, which makes people daunting.

I don't know why, these meditation rooms give people a great sense of depression. This sense of depression is unique, and it is condensed with the heavy and solemn atmosphere of the temple as a whole, making people feel even more terrifying from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at the gloomy scene ahead, the scientific researchers backed away a little bit, and Fat Wei and Ghost Sword were also very vigilant, and they all followed in.

However, Danxuan didn't care much about these states, he walked in step by step with a staff in his hand.

According to the decision just now, Ghost Saber and Fat Wei should guard outside this time.

Given the current situation, Ghost Knife was obviously a little worried, so he also followed behind,

And when Ghost Knife just stepped into the avenue in the courtyard, he heard the haunted meditation rooms on both sides, and suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Cough!
Cough! ",
The voice was extremely old, as if there was phlegm and he wanted to cough but couldn't cough it out, it was extremely stuffy, and it sounded gloomy, like a ghost coughing.

Everyone stopped for a moment, and involuntarily looked at the meditation rooms on both sides.

And only then did they see that, at some point in time, there were figures standing inside the dark door!

Those figures are obviously very squishy, ​​and it seems that they will never be able to straighten their backs.

Under the faint moonlight, Chen Zhi clearly saw that those people seemed to be twisting Buddhist beads in their hands.

"Amitabha!",
Danxuan clasped his hands together and bowed forward,
"The junior Tianfa Temple abbot Danxuan, a disciple of Master Puhang, has already obtained permission from the abbot of your temple to enter the precious land today.

Please forgive me for bothering seniors Qingxiu!

let's go! ",
After Danxuan finished speaking, he didn't even look at the strange figures on both sides, but said to Chen Zhi with a sideways glance,
"Let's go!
Recognize our purpose and don't care about other things..."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight forward along that road, seemingly without curiosity at all.

But Chen Zhi couldn't help paying attention to those strange figures.

As they walked into the courtyard, those figures gradually came out of the dark meditation room.

Under the bright moonlight, those figures showed their faces one by one.

And these real faces are really scary.

They were like walking corpses, all skinny and skinny, covered only with a thin layer of skin.

But their eyes were all covered with cloth, and they couldn't see anything. Even so, they could still see their extremely ferocious faces.

Like other monks, they all have ring scars branded on their heads, robes on their bodies, and Buddhist beads in their hands.

But their monk robes were in tatters, and a musty and rotten smell could be smelled from a distance, as if they had just been dug out from a graveyard.

"Ah cough, ah cough...",
Those people who looked like walking corpses seemed to not understand what Danxuan said. In fact, they seemed to have lost consciousness and were just walking by instinct.

Hearing someone coming in, they began to slowly gather on the avenue.

Along with the footsteps of their gathering, Chen Zhi heard the sound of heavy iron chains.

At this time, Chen Zhicai noticed that their feet were all tied with heavy iron shackles.

Although the iron shackles were already stained and stained with rust, the original shape could still be seen, but the style of those iron shackles surprised Chen Zhi.

Those shackles were the most common type of torture tools in the ancient government, and they were used to detain important prisoners.

The ancients' design of instruments of torture was basically the same, and there were not many changes in the past dynasties, especially the shackles.

Shackles are instruments of torture worn on the hands or feet, created to prevent people from escaping.

Those worn by prisoners are called "cuffs" on their hands and "cuffs" on their feet.

Ordinary sinners basically only wear handcuffs, and very few of them wear shackles.

And those who can wear shackles on their feet are basically felons who kill and take things.

And it is very difficult for such a person to have anything to do with this holy and tall Great Mercy Temple.

The presence of these people wearing shackles can clearly prove one thing.

One, they should have stayed here for a long time, already surpassing the limit of human lifespan.

Second, they all used to be heinous sinners who took their lives on their backs!
