Chapter 471 The Abandoned Village

Just after the stone door was opened, the moment the dust floated up, several human figures appeared under the light of the flashlight.

The six people became tense at that time. Chen Ziyang drew out the ancient Xuanming sword and stood in front of him, while Xu Xiaoyuan and Jin Huang were also on high alert.Suddenly a standing human figure appeared in a dark space, and anyone would be nervous.

When the dust scattered, the six people discovered that the shadows standing not far in front of them looked like warriors wearing armor in ancient times, and they were indeed armored.

The shadows were motionless, and the armor was covered with thick dust, which at first glance looked like sculptures made of clay.

"My God, what are those? Terracotta Warriors and Horses?" Yang Lei shouted in surprise, his idea was quite appropriate, these figures in armor were indeed somewhat similar to Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

Seeing that these things didn't seem to be in any danger, several people slowly moved up to them.After getting closer, I could see the appearance of these armors clearly.

There are nine armors standing in front of several people. Except for the armor standing at the front, the other eight armors are exactly the same, but the armor standing at the front looks thicker, the cast armor There are also more materials and more lines on it, which is obviously higher than the other eight armors.

These nine armors are all empty, and they are placed directly on nine iron frames inserted into the ground. These iron frames should be custom-made for these armors. The iron frames are made into a flat figure. Some of the raised areas are just right for the parts of the armor.

And these nine armors are also equipped with several weapons. The front armor has a sword slung across its waist, and the other eight armors are equipped with different weapons, either long or short.

All the weapons are made of refined iron, so it is no wonder that they have not been damaged after so many years. Only the bowstring of one bow and arrow has disappeared, probably decayed.

After roughly checking that there were no traps hidden on the armor, Yang Lei took a deep breath and blew it out violently, blowing off a lot of dust on the front armor.

Even though there is still a small amount of dust attached to the armor, it is difficult to hide the golden light from the armor. It seems that a lot of copper was used in the casting of this armor.

The six people didn't know much about the armor of the Tang Dynasty. They didn't know what level of officers and what type of arms these armors should be worn by, but they all saw the extraordinary from the armor, even in the Tang Dynasty when the country was at its peak. In the court, such a suit of armor is not something that ordinary generals can wear.

Although several people thought that the armor was not connected to any mechanism, none of them touched it for safety reasons.Chen Ziyang felt that these armors were placed here for the sake of looking good, or as gatekeepers, and the iron shelves inside the armors were also placed for this purpose, which is really a big deal.

"You gave us such a big surprise as soon as you came in. Good guy, this armor is so well preserved. If it can be taken out, it must be worth a lot of money. This place... shouldn't be poor." Yang Lei's eyes Said brightly.

The three Chen Ziyang brothers tossed in several tombs several times. Except for a little sweetness when they were in the Bohai Underground Palace, the tombs they entered at other times were so poor that it made people cry.

And the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang is even guarded by armor of this level, which shows that the things inside are extraordinary, and it is no wonder that Yang Lei has such great hopes.

After bypassing these armors, the dust floating in the underground space was almost scattered. Several people swept around with their flashlights and found that this place should be a hidden underground village.

Several thick natural stone pillars connect the ground and the rock wall at the top, supporting the space.And the area of ​​this space is actually much larger than the area on the ground.

Perhaps because of the large area, the ground of this underground space is not too flat, and there are many places with relatively steep slopes.

There are quite a few ruins left in this space, but not even a complete house remains, only some rough outlines can be seen.Fragments of daily utensils such as pottery jars and jars can be seen everywhere, it seems that this should be the residence of those Gu raisers.

Those broken walls similar to house ruins are mainly concentrated on the northern and eastern edges of this underground space. The center of the entire open space is a relatively open place, which should be a small square. There are a lot of weird things.

Those things look like huge stone sculptures, but they are all very simple in lines and outlines, and I don't know what they are useful for.

It doesn't feel like a treasure house here, but like a village that has disappeared for more than 1000 years and has just been discovered.

For some reason, seeing the dilapidated appearance of this village, several people felt a sense of desolation in their hearts.Several people walked forward while carefully checking their surroundings.

Yang Lei's eyes kept moving along with the flashlight beam, hoping to find something valuable.Maybe it was because of being too attentive, but soon, he found out.

A pot belly slightly bigger than a basketball, and a clay pot with a small opening appeared under Yang Lei's flashlight beam, and from his perspective, the pot was black and shiny, and it was relatively well preserved.

When he was in the ancient country of Yumi, Yang Lei made a lot of clay pots, and under Jin Huang's guidance, he sold these pots for a lot of money.It was precisely because of this relationship that Yang Lei couldn't wait to rush forward when he saw that the jar was in such good condition.

He completely forgot that the place where everyone was located was the ruins of a tribe of witchcraft, and outside, everyone encountered many living Gu insects. Driven by profit, Yang Lei completely forgot about the danger.

When Chen Ziyang saw Yang Lei rushing towards the jar and wanted to remind him, Yang Lei had already picked up the jar.

In the process of picking up the jar, Yang Lei clearly felt something shaking inside the jar, this feeling was like shaking a box containing footballs.

It was only at this time that Yang Lei reacted that something was wrong, but it was too late.Just as he lifted the jar to his chest, suddenly a spherical object rolled out from the side of the jar facing Yang Lei and hit his foot.

It turned out that the other side of the jar was damaged, but because of the angle, Yang Lei didn't see that side. When he picked up the jar, the contents of the jar rolled out of the hole.

After feeling something hitting his feet, Yang Lei lowered his head, and with the flashlight in his hand, he saw a bloody human head, and the eyes of this head were still reflecting white light, looking straight at he.

"Oh my god!" Yang Lei yelled, and threw the flashlight and jar out together. He scrambled and crawled into the crowd, hiding behind five people.

"Head! Head! It's still bloody! Bloody!" Yang Lei yelled these words almost in a crying voice.

"Human head? Bloody?" Although Chen Ziyang also saw something hit Yang Lei's foot, he didn't expect it to be a human head.The head is fine, how could there be blood?
This voodoo tribe should have been deserted for a long time. Judging from the previous signs, it must have existed for at least seven or eight hundred years.In other words, for seven or eight hundred years, this place has been isolated from the world, and no one has come here.

Even if this human head was stained with blood before, after such a long time, it should have dried up long ago, and the blood would turn into a black lump, how could it still be bloody?

At this time, the human head kept shaking on the ground, and the back of the head was facing the direction of several people.Because Yang Lei's flashlight fell next to the head, the six people could see clearly. From their positions, they could see the black hair on the head.This should indeed be a human head.

After walking slowly, Chen Ziyang used the scabbard of the ancient Xuanming sword in his hand to carefully turn the head around.

This wrinkled human head should have been air-dried, the skin on the human head's face is all wrinkled together, the facial features have been deformed, and the expression looks very ferocious.

And on the face and forehead of this human head, there are some red fungus-like things growing.These red molds are extraordinarily bright in color, and they look so obvious under the flashlight.

In addition, there are large dark red spots.It's no wonder that Yang Lei took these red things as human blood when he was frightened.

"What are these erythema and red mold? Could it be a red and fierce head?" Chen Ziyang shook his head after thinking about it. He didn't think it looked like it. It's all long red hairs, not these red spots and moldy things.

"Be careful, stay away from that thing." Shangguan Kangning's voice came from behind Chen Ziyang.

When he saw these red spots and mold, Chen Ziyang felt that this head was not ordinary. Now that he heard Shangguan Kangning's reminder, he flicked his wrist hastily, and used the scabbard of Xuanming ancient sword to hold the head far away. Dial a little farther.

"It's a good thing you didn't touch it directly with your hands. Those red things on the head should be Gu poison." Shangguan Kangning said with lingering fear.

"Gu poison?" Chen Ziyang called out in surprise.If what Shangguan Kangning said is true and those red molds are really Gu poison, that would be amazing.After hundreds of years, not only has this human head not rotted, but the red mold growing on it seems to have just been born.

"There should be nothing wrong with the Gu poison. This person didn't die from the Gu poison. On the contrary, this human head is a vessel for cultivating the Gu poison. If you feed the red mold that grows from the human head to the Gu insect, the Gu insect will die." It will become extremely poisonous.”

Although there was a trace of uncertainty in Shangguan Kangning's tone, several other people felt a little terrified, with a cool breeze blowing from the back of their necks. This matter sounds too disgusting, and they used human heads to cultivate Gu poison.

"It's not just this human head, look there, those strange things, if my estimation is correct, there should be a place to cultivate Gu worms. Those strangely shaped stones are all tools for cultivating Gu worms." Shangguan Kangning pointed to the sculpture-like stone and said.

"If there is danger here, I think the most dangerous area should be that area. The area here is not large. If there are live Gu worms hiding there, discovering us and attacking us, It’s too late to escape, so I suggest, let’s search that area first, and check out the danger in advance.”

Although Chen Ziyang felt that Shangguan Kangning's suggestion had some selfishness in it, and he hoped that a few people would accompany him to see if he could find some ways to cultivate Gu worms there, but the reason Shangguan Kangning found was reasonable , so that several people have no way to refuse.

With this head in mind, several people were cautious when approaching that direction, especially Yang Lei. Although his greed was not dead, he restrained himself a lot and didn't dare to touch anything.

After bypassing the two stone pillars supporting the top, several people approached the strange stone.

The first stone vessel closest to everyone looked very strange.This stone vessel is composed of two huge stones. Below it is a huge base similar to a stone bed. The upper surface of this base is a concave surface with a small curvature.

Above this concave surface, there is a huge discus-shaped stone sculpture like a stone mill standing there.This stone mill is very huge, with a diameter of about three meters. There is a thigh-thick hole in the center of the stone mill.If it weren't for the fact that the stone mill was placed vertically on the base below, several people would think it was a huge stone mill.

On the exposed part of the stone mill, there are some black lumps, which look like asphalt solidified on the surface of the stone mill.

Seeing these black things, Chen Ziyang felt his stomach churning.Because of the incident with the human head just now, he was still remembering what the coagulated blood looked like, and it was precisely because of this that he was very sure that the black things stuck to the stone mill had been coagulated for an unknown number of years. blood.

Between the stone mill and the base, there is also a skull crushed by the stone mill.The skull of the skeleton was squeezed between the stone mill and the base, but it was not crushed, but judging from the posture of lying there, the ribs of this skeleton were not so lucky, they should all be crushed up.

"Shangguan Kangning, what the hell is this? Why do I feel so panicked when I look at it?" Because he was frightened before, Yang Lei hid behind Chen Ziyang and asked tremblingly.

"This thing should be used to feed Gu worms."
