The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 37 The Faceless Boy
The two short figures seemed to be a boy and a girl, two children aged eight or nine, both wearing red linen clothes, as if they were wrapped in red cloth from head to toe.

And by the light of the flashlight, I found that their faces were actually painted.

Those were two pale faces with no facial features at all.

The eyes, nose, and mouth on the face are all painted with red cinnabar!

I swear, I've never seen anything so weird, or even heard of it.

The girl on the left is holding a bloody corpse in her hand, as if she was carrying a rag doll.

I was so weak that I almost fell to the ground.

That hideous corpse is the bloody face I saw before!

I always thought it was an illusion caused by my being too nervous. After all, this place is so empty that there is no room for a dead body to hide.

But now I know that what I experienced before was not an illusion at all, but real.

My whole body seemed to be frozen in ice, and all I could think about was running away, but my feet just couldn't walk.

Those few seconds were the greatest torment in my life. I waited until the fat man shouted my name and a beam of light shone through the opened passage, and the two young children turned around. Go, the girl held the corpse in her arms like a rag doll, and then bounced away.

"I said Ding Dong, why the hell are you in a daze? Could it be that you are staying here to marry that white cat as your wife?"

The fat man showed his head and said angrily.

I was shocked immediately, the two terrifying young children just now disappeared without a trace, and I got into the passage in panic, my whole body was soaked in sweat.

After drilling into the passage, I discovered that it was a ladder made of stone that spiraled downward.The slope of the stone ladder is very steep, and my body was almost going down vertically. It took about ten minutes for my feet to touch the ground.

The fat man jumped down behind me. Seeing my pale face, he asked, "Ding Dong, what the hell are you doing? Why are you covered in sweat? Are you bewitched?"

My heart is still beating wildly right now, that scene just now was really scary!

Even though it has passed, I still retain the image of those two faceless children and the 'doll' in their hands in my mind. I feel that I will definitely have nightmares in the next few days.

I smacked my face vigorously, frightened the fat man, and came over to touch my forehead.

I slapped the fat man's hand away, and then told everyone what happened just now.

"The face painted with cinnabar, two young children? Dingdang, do you really have a fucking fever? You should take a good rest first. Didn't I tell you before that this place can't hide people, if we really want to, we should have found it earlier."

The fat man's eyeballs were wide open, and then he wanted to come over and touch my forehead again.

I suddenly noticed a slight change in Miss Si's face, as if she knew something.

But before I had time to ask him, Chen Tuozi said first: "No matter what it is, drawing talismans during the Warring States period was one of the common methods of Taoism, and cinnabar is a necessary material for talismans, because cinnabar can suppress Corpse to ward off evil spirits. Some coffins buried at that time, in order to prevent fraudulent corpses, often put spells on the faces of the corpses. I guess what you saw might not be the 'face', but the spells used to suppress the two young children! "

Although Chen Tuozi couldn't tell the origin of this thing, he seemed a little uneasy about what I said.

"I'm talking about Old Chen, do you understand it or not? Don't make wild guesses, I've already given you goosebumps..." Fatty said.

"I think of some ancient books. These two faceless young children should have been tortured by yi (yi), that is, their noses were cut off, and then their nostrils, ears, holes and eyes were all covered with golden water. This method It should be a means of punishing wicked people in ancient times. For those heinous people, the executioner will call them evil spirits. In order to prevent the reincarnation of evil spirits, the executioner will seal the seven orifices of the prisoner with golden water, so that the prisoner will not be reborn forever."

The old Jintou said uncertainly that his current mood seemed a little unstable.

"Old Jintou, those people who died in your team back then, you said they died inexplicably, and some even seemed to be scared to death. Could it be that they met these two faceless young children?"

I asked the old gold head nervously.

In fact, the first time I saw these two young children, I was almost scared to death.

The old Jintou stared at me with bulging eyeballs, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, which confused me for no reason.

"I said, old gold head, what are you doing?"

"Did you take anything inside when you passed the tomb where the sacrificial goods were placed?" asked the old Jintou.

"How many times do I have to explain? I didn't take anything." I said angrily.

"I hope so. Anyway, I didn't lie to you. The people who took the funeral objects here died miserable!" The old Jintou looked a little strange, as if he didn't believe what I said.

"No matter what, if that thing can come and go freely in this thousand-year-old tomb as you have seen, it is definitely not a good thing to deal with! Maybe it is even more difficult to deal with than the white **** in the hanging coffin .”

Chen Tuozi frowned and said, he moved his arm, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably due to the pain of the broken arm.

"Shh."

The fourth girl suddenly made a sound. He propped his hands on the wall and leaned forward slightly, as if he heard something.

Seeing him like this, we immediately became nervous.

"There's something wrong here, be careful." Miss Si said in a very soft voice.

The fat man and I looked at each other, and both felt a little weird. The fourth girl seemed to be deliberately lowering her voice when she spoke, as if someone was eavesdropping around.

But before we knew what was going on, he walked on quickly.

I was a little disturbed by Miss Si's weird behavior, so I picked up the flashlight and took a look around, but found that there was a dead silence around, and nothing seemed to be happening.

I glanced at the surrounding environment, and I feel that this place is much cleaner than the tomb above. Even after thousands of years, I don't think this place is very old.

We walked forward along the road on the ground, which was a winding and rugged path, from narrow to wide, and after a few steps, we made a detour, which made us dizzy.

Finally, after walking tens of meters and turning a corner, our field of vision suddenly became wider.

Ahead of us is a huge, eerie bronze door!

The reason why it is said to be weird is that the shape of this door is like a huge goat's head, and the whole body is dark green.And it was cast from a whole piece of copper ore, almost as high as three or four floors.

I said with a shocked face: "Has the smelting technology in the Warring States Period reached this level?"

You must know that it is much more difficult to smelt a huge piece of copper ore than a small piece, not to mention casting it into the shape of a sheep's head?Moreover, such a large door may weigh several tons!How did Li Si transport this huge bronze door here?Could it be that the giant gate was smelted by setting up a furnace on the spot.

Chen Tuozi and the others were also shocked. He walked up quickly and looked at the huge door at a close distance with some madness.

On the surface of the giant gate, there are very clear reliefs. When I took a quick look at those reliefs, they seemed familiar.

"Isn't this the fucking torture relief we saw earlier? It's more vividly depicted here. Li Si is indeed a perfectionist, and the revolutionary cause needs such a person!"

Fatty reprimanded Fang Qiu at the side and said.

"go away."

I don't have the time to pay attention to the fat man right now. I took a flashlight and carefully looked at the reliefs to see if I could find anything new.

I couldn't help but get excited when I thought that this place was getting closer and closer to the Qingyang bottle that my grandfather was talking about.
