Chapter 50 Tomb Room Murals

My words obviously convinced Su Rou and Ling Ruyue. They believed that the real tomb chamber was under the passage, but even so, that was not a reason to go down. The danger had worn down their hearts that were leaping for adventure.

“Sanwa, even if it is, we don’t want to go down. Really, I don’t think we should take any risks right now.” After saying that, Su Rou said to me with a determined look, “If it’s the worst, I won’t even look at the gold and silver treasures.”

Ling Ruyue bit her lower lip and didn’t say anything. She was obviously a little scared, but she still wanted to see and explore, so she began to hesitate.

“Do you trust me?” I said seriously.

“What’s wrong?” Su Rou was a little confused. He had always trusted me, and he didn’t understand why I would ask this question in this place.

Ling Ruyue and I have known each other for a short time, and I can’t say whether I believe her or not, but she also gave me a look of affirmation. After the ghost incident, I clearly felt that this little girl was more dependent on me.

“Because I feel that my master and the others should be in this tomb, so I insist on going down to find them,” I said very seriously.

Even this gap, I think it is the ‘masterpiece’ of my master.

“Then what are you hesitating about? Let’s go down.” Su Rou immediately agreed with me when I said this. He had been hanging out on the mountain since he was a child and had long known that I had a strong spiritual sense, and people with a strong spiritual sense also had a strong premonition.

In addition, he trusts me very much.

Ling Ruyue also nodded and said, “I believe in you, Third Brother.”

Since we had decided to go down, we started moving. The first to go down was Su Rou, because of his weight, no one could catch him if he jumped. My strength was okay, so in the end, I decided to pull him down first and then jump.

“Damn you, Su Rou, you can lose a pound by eating less today, right?” I yelled at him. Now I was holding Su Rou, and he was slowly sliding down the gap, which reduced the height and prevented injury when he jumped.

Unfortunately, I was exerting a lot of effort, but the pork was too heavy. I felt it was too hard to be the support point for him to slide down.

“Okay, Sanwa, let go. I’m going to jump.” Finally, the voice of the crispy meat came from below.

I let go slowly, relieved, and heard a dull ‘plop’ from below, followed by a ‘ow’ from the crispy meat.

“Su Rou, are you okay?” I leaned over the edge of the gap and shouted. I was really worried about Su Rou, after all, he was the first to go.

After a long time, the sound of Su Rou came from below: “It’s okay, I just fell and got stuck on something. It’s dark, hurry down and get the oil lamp.”

I handed the oil lamp to Ling Ruyue and said to her, “I’ll jump down first, and then you jump down with the oil lamp. I and Su Rou will be waiting for you below.”

After all, I have been practicing since I was a child, so I was careful at this height and it was okay.

After saying that, I jumped off the edge, but I didn’t stand still and bumped into Su Rou. Su Rou was startled and said, “You didn’t say anything when you came down, you scared me to death.”

I was about to say something to her, but I noticed that it was pitch black here. It was basically so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. All you could see was the faint light of the oil lamp above the gap. If Ling Ruyue had taken a step back with the oil lamp, we wouldn’t have been able to see that light.

“I thought you saw me coming down, but I didn’t expect it to be so dark here.” I said casually, and then I heard Ling Ruyue’s voice coming down from above. She said, “Fat brother, third brother, I jumped down, you catch me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, I saw Ling Ruyue jump down, because she was holding a lantern, which was particularly obvious.

“Fuck, this little girl doesn’t give people time to prepare?” Su Rou cursed and quickly went up to meet her.

I had the same thought and followed him up.

As a result, Ling Ruyue fell onto our shoulders. Since she wasn’t sitting properly, I had to help her up.

“Haha, that was exciting.” Ling Ruyue laughed happily, and Su Rou said with a bitter face: “My butt is still hurting, and you gave me a little nudge on my shoulder. You were excited, but what about me?”

“Okay, come down quickly,” I said, and then I and Su Rou put Ling Ruyue down together.

As soon as the little girl landed, she straightened the oil lamp and started screaming. I was looking up at the ceiling at the time, which is my habit. I like to look up at everything first.

And Su Rou was rubbing his buttocks. When he heard Ling Ruyue’s cry, he was scared again and yelled, “What are you calling? What are you calling?”

I was too lazy to pay attention to them, and was about to pass the oil lamp and take a closer look at the top. Because of the dim light of the oil lamp, I could vaguely see that there was a relief on the top of the place.

But at this moment, Su Rou also started screaming in fright.

I frowned impatiently and turned my head to see that Su Rou and Ling Ruyue were dancing, pointing at the ground and shouting here and there…

What? I went over to take a look and I gasped in shock. There were so many bones on the ground, human bones!

“Stop! Stop screaming!” I yelled.

They finally stopped screaming. After all, skeletons are something that people can’t accept at first glance, let alone here. I took the oil lamp and looked at it carefully. There were so many!

Su Rou’s face was very ugly because he saw a broken skull, which was obviously crushed after he jumped down. He also said that something was pressing against him.

“How can there be so many dead people in one tomb? Sanwa, what do you think happened?” Su Rou felt like he had fallen into a pile of dead bodies.

Ling Ruyue had calmed down after the initial shock. After all, the little girl was used to dealing with drug addicts, which were far more terrifying than these lifeless bones.

I didn’t say anything because at that moment my mind was completely absorbed by a symbol on the wall. Below the symbol was a mural and some text.

“Sanwaer, Sanwaer?” Su Rou shouted from the side.

I said to Su Rou, who looked a little embarrassed, “If you want to know the answer, be quiet. I’m looking.”

I was familiar with that symbol, it was exactly the same as the jade pendant I had collected at the Three-Way Crossing. It was also a simple few strokes, and it also depicted a demon’s face. It was basically the same symbol.

But this tomb is obviously not a hungry ghost tomb, but a tomb within a tomb that belongs to a hungry ghost tomb. How could there be the same thing?

The mural shows groups of people worshiping, and then rows of people with a fanatical expression line up into cars, and the destination of the car is a door, which is a tomb door.

Behind the tomb door, there is a monster, which looks like a snake, but it is a little different from a snake because it has a single horn on its head and two claws under its belly.

What is this thing? It looks like a dragon, but it’s not a dragon. It looks like a snake, but it’s not a snake either. Is it a jiao? No, it’s not a jiao.

But I can still roughly understand the meaning of the picture. Those people are worshipping and sacrificing. The people with the fanatical expressions being sent to the car are the sacrifices. As for the one who eats the sacrifices, it is the monster!

And that monster is kept in this cemetery!

My cold sweat ran down my face. I didn’t think meeting a monster was a pleasant thing.

I almost ran to the mural, because there was a row of small characters underneath. Because I had to read a lot of ancient books, I had a basic understanding of ancient characters, but Sichuan was always a land of barbarians at that time, and if it was a special character, it would be bad.

Fortunately, the text was in the traditional form of ancient Chinese, which was very easy to read and understand.

However, after I read the content, I was even more uneasy, so I read it over and over again.

Su Rou and Ling Ruyue also came over at this time. After all, we were just children, and it was safer to stay together in a place full of human bones.

“What do you see, Sanwa?” Su Rou asked.

I wiped a cold sweat and said, “This was left by a grave robber who died here. He said this was the tomb of a tribal shaman. He came here to find something, but met a monster that was still alive, and was trapped and died here.”

“What? What monster is still alive?” Su Rou was a little confused.

I pointed to the monster on the mural and said, “That’s it.”
