The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 182 The Missing Girl

I was taken aback by the fat man, and when I slipped my hand, I touched the puddle of sticky liquid on the body of the female corpse. It was so disgusting, I was so angry that I wanted to scold the fat man.

But the fat man kept urging me to look behind me.

Seeing that the fat man really found something, I looked behind me curiously.Unexpectedly, the murals we saw before appeared again, and this time the colors on the murals were very clear, and the content was much richer than before.

Just like the comic strips I read when I was a child, page by page was displayed in front of me.

"Ding Dong, the fat man understands that besides the murals on the front of the wall, there is also a set of murals on the back of the wall." The fat man said.

I nodded, but I was not in the mood to discuss with the fat man, but focused all my attention on these murals.

Seeing that Fatty and I had discovered something, the group of foreigners who were inspecting the female corpse also came over.

However, Zhang Sanpao was the most excited among the crowd. When he saw the row of colorful murals in front of him, there was an unconcealable enthusiasm in his eyes.

The group of foreigners also talked a lot, and there were constant voices of surprise.

I can understand Zhang Sanpao's enthusiasm. Although he is a tomb robber who eats and drinks, he is a serious Captain Mojin, and he is very knowledgeable, such as Shi Yanluo and Water Monkey before. , the maze, etc., he recognized them all.

And the murals in front of him are quite magnificent, each one is five or six meters wide, and there are many ancient characters written on it. It is conceivable how many secrets are contained in it, and it is no wonder that Zhang Sanpao is so excited.

But in the eyes of those outsiders, they are just gold, silver and jewels, which are different from Zhang Sanpao.

"I said Ding Dong, have you found out? In ancient China, pigments were very expensive, because the ancients did not have the technology to make pigments, so they could only use materials from animals. For example, black ink is made of cuttlefish ink, and red ink is made of Blood, of course, needs to be processed continuously in the later stage, so the cost is very high. There are so many colorful murals in this tomb, it is conceivable that it is definitely not the tomb of ordinary people." The fat man chattered.

I knew these things even if I didn't say them, so I didn't talk to him.

But the fat man continued: "If you look carefully at the material used for the wall, it is a whole piece of jade, at least several tons. We have just entered the tomb passage now, and we saw such awesome murals. If you go to the main tomb and bring something back, wouldn’t you be driving a luxury car every minute, hugging Xiaomi, and living a decadent and ecstatic capitalist life?"

I heard the fat man talking about money, and I was speechless for a while.

But after thinking about it carefully, Fatty was right. If even the scale of the murals in the tomb passage can be made so grand, then the real main tomb must have many buried treasures.

Although the gang of foreigners brought by grandpa are veterans, they are masters who want money and life.When you see those treasures, you will definitely not be able to restrain your inner greed, and there will be internal strife!
Although I know that these foreigners are a hidden danger, but at this moment our situation is not safe, so I didn't think too much about it.

I originally planned to take a look with Zhang Sanpao to see what was painted on this mural.But suddenly found that Zhang Sanpao came behind the female corpse at some point, staring sharply at the back of the corpse.

And his face, which was so excited just now because he saw the mural, slowly darkened, until it was terribly dark in the end.

Seeing his face getting worse and worse, my heart sank. Could it be that Zhang Sanpao discovered something strange?
But Zhang Sanpao seemed to have noticed that I was looking at him, turned on the light, and quickly went to check the other naked corpses that were hung.It looks like he doesn't want to tell me.

I took a deep breath and planned to follow Zhang Sanpao to see what was going on in Zhang Sanpao's mind.

As a result, he had just walked two steps when he was dragged back by the fat man.

The fat man pressed my head firmly in front of the mural, adjusted the light of the flashlight to the maximum, and then said in panic, "Ding Dong, look at these murals, what the hell is it!"

I was uncomfortable being pressed by the fat man, but I still looked at the mural in front of me through the light.

This mural is still the sacrificial scene we saw before.

In the center of the mural is a triangular altar cast in bronze. From a distance, it looks like a sheep's head with red eyes and a wide open mouth.

Around the altar, there are many ordinary people dressed in coarse linen and linen.

However, the scene on the altar changed drastically. After the soldiers carried boxes of food and many cattle and sheep to the altar, many strange worms with round heads popped out of the black hole of the altar. .

These insects, like leeches whose bodies had been magnified hundreds of times, swarmed up, and quickly gnawed the cattle and sheep until there were no bones left.

As they ate more and more things, the bodies of those big bugs also began to expand slowly.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, the black-robed wizard hiding among the soldiers gave an order, and immediately a huge iron net was covered, and the soldiers also took up weapons one after another, and went to kill the covered big bug.

Later, more soldiers rushed to the altar, released bows and arrows, held shields, and carried knives to fight those big bugs.There was sticky liquid all over the ground and the bones of the soldiers who had been swallowed. Finally, those big bugs were completely driven into the black hole in the altar.

After the wizard thanked the gods on the altar, he completely sealed the black hole.

I thought this story would end here, but I didn't expect the fat man to point to the words on the edge of the mural and say, "Ding Dong, look here, this is the oracle bone inscription. Although the fat man doesn't understand it very well, he can see the Seven, seven, eight, eight. According to the text, after expelling these big bugs, the country finally returned to peace, but the good times didn’t last long, and soon people in the tribes living around the altar began to disappear one after another..."

"Missing?" I asked, frowning.

"Well. And all the missing girls are underage girls!" The fat man said in a hurried tone.

Fatty's words instantly chilled my heart, and I involuntarily turned my gaze to the female corpses hanging on both sides of the tomb passage again.

Zhang Sanpao said that these female corpses are also underage, can't it be such a coincidence?
Seeing that I didn't speak, the fat man dragged me to another mural with a serious expression.

This time the mural is no longer an altar, but a country where people come and go.But to put it bluntly, the country in ancient times was made up of several large tribes, with some simple houses, armies, and temples.

The main thing in the mural is the towering temple. In the temple, the black-robed wizard was sitting there without saying a word. Many panic-stricken people gathered around him.

The fat man continued to translate: "At that time, underage girls were very important, because the tribe was strong or not, and the struggle was because of the large number of people, and girls were the tools for giving birth. As the number of missing underage girls decreased, those The tribe finally couldn't sit still, and found the wizard together, hoping that the wizard could pray to the gods to help them find the lost girl. Finally, under the guidance of the gods, the wizard successfully found a girl who had been missing for several months."

"Just when everyone was cheering that the girl was safe and sound, the turmoil did not subside. One day, the girl's behavior suddenly became weird..."

Speaking of this, the fat man took me to the next mural.

I saw that the murals were pitch-black, and what they expressed should be a dark night where you can't see your fingers.

There are several houses dotted here and there under the mural, and a girl with long hair and no clothes sneaked into a house at this moment.

"Look! The above text probably means that although the wizard successfully retrieved a girl, the girl would always sneak up in the dead of night and after everyone was asleep, sneak into the homes of other people in the tribe, Take away their daughters. And all the underage girls were brought into the black hole of the altar that was previously sealed by the wizard!"

Following the story told by the fat man, I became more certain that the missing girl depicted on the mural, and the black hole of the altar, most likely pointed to our current location.

A strong sense of fear spread all over my body in an instant. The female corpses in front of me seemed to have come alive. They turned their heads and showed me a sinister and pale smile!
