Endless Road of Corpse

I thought back to the documentaries I'd seen at Discover, those volcanic areas where there was often a fountain of water that would erupt every few minutes.

"Isn't that geothermal? This water isn't hot either? " I asked.

The Daoist shook his head and said, "It might not be due to geothermal activities. There should be a very large underground river that goes straight to the sea, and because of the return of the tide, the water level is too low. I went down to take a look just now and found no traces of long-term immersion."

"Just like our money?" I asked.

The Daoist nodded in approval and said, "Yes, perhaps today is the day of the great tide and we caught it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any water here!"

"So, those two... "Ugh …" The Zombie should not be able to make it, right? " This is the first time we've said the word "Zombie" ever since we've entered this base. Even though I really don't want to believe something that transcends scientific knowledge, the truth is placed right in front of me, and I can't help but believe it.

When the Daoist heard these two words, he was also startled, but he did not feel happy or proud that his theory had been verified. He only shook his head and pointed to the top of the waterfall, "Right now, there is only a hole. Those two zombies are very inflexible, they shouldn't be able to get down."

We all nodded in agreement.

"Oh right, Dao Lord, you are experienced and knowledgeable. Which emperor's tomb is this?" Mao Tou who was at the side unable to hold back anymore said to the Taoist.

"Tomb? What tomb? " the Taoist asked curiously.

Mao Tou hurriedly led him up the stairs and showed the coffin to the Daoist.

At this time, the candles Mao Tou had lit around the coffin shone brightly, the four candles released a golden light that shone onto the sarcophagus, giving it an extraordinary imposing manner.

When the Daoist priest saw the coffin, he was stupefied. His lips began to tremble and his eyes began to shine with a fervent light. I know that for a fangirl like him, he's probably been longing for this opportunity all his life.

After staring blankly for a while, the Taoist quickly walked forward and stopped in front of the coffin. He then used his flashlight to carefully observe the coffin.

Only then did I notice that there were some fine patterns on the coffin. I stood behind the Daoist and followed his light with my eyes. I saw that the coffin was surrounded by spiral geometric patterns. I recognized them as Taotie patterns, which had been used a lot in the Shang and early Western Zhou dynasties.

Could it be that this coffin belonged to Zhou Dynasty? I muttered in my heart. Following the Dao leader's flashlight constantly moving, the Taotie pattern seemed to become even more complex. It was like a maze of layers and layers, repeating each other as if the entire pattern was derived from a single line.

I recalled that the Taotie pattern is also known as the Beast Face Mark. Taotie is a beast that people think of as, and it is extremely gluttonous, actually eating up all of its body when it is greedy, and the ancients carved this pattern on the utensils also have the meaning of the heavens' law circulating endlessly.

Isn't this the Biting-tail Snake? Thinking about this, I suddenly remembered the story about the Knights Templar that the Taoist priest told me. He also mentioned that the Biting-tail Snake was a rune that was commonly used by various ancient civilizations.

While I was lost in my thoughts, I was still observing the patterns on the coffin with the Daoist's flashlight. The flashlight moved from the surroundings to the center, and I suddenly saw a face staring straight at me!

I was shocked and hurriedly focused my attention to look again. This time, I was able to clearly see that the center of the coffin was actually carved into a human face. I recalled that the Shang and Zhou dynasties' facial decorations were indeed quite common. There was a national treasure grade bronze cauldron that was a square cauldron with a human face. This made me more and more certain that this coffin was at least a product from before the Zhou Dynasty.

One could see that the part of his face was no different from an ordinary person's. On his head was a crown, his forehead was wide, and his eyes were bright and spirited, but in the lower half, his mouth and nose were protruding out in a strange manner, turning into a long beast kissing part. No matter how one looked at it, he looked like a dog!

Just as I was wondering, I saw on the tomb of an emperor the carvings of dragons and phoenixes, lions and tigers, snakes and all kinds of fierce beasts, but I have never seen or heard of a dog being carved on one's own coffin! In ancient times, there was an exceptionally strict set of rules regarding etiquette, especially towards the general of the royal family. In ancient times, there was an exceptionally strict set of rules about etiquette, especially regarding the general of the royal family, his succession, his marriage, and his death all had to be handled according to his rank and rank. Therefore, when the ancients said "unfilial to the bastard," they didn't mean that there was a lack of respect for the common people, but that this set of etiquette was too complicated and strict, so the common people didn't need to strictly observe it.

"King Xu Yan... This is the King Xu Yan … " The Taoist suddenly began to quiver and mutter in a low voice.

"What?" I couldn't hear her clearly for a moment, so I asked.

"Where's your GPS? Your cellphone is also fine. Hurry and take it out for me to take a look!" The Taoist suddenly turned around and didn't answer my question. He only anxiously asked if he had already snatched my bag.

"I wonder if the blisters broke or not … "Besides, there's no signal here." Seeing that he asked so urgently, she quickly took off her backpack, took out the GPS from her bag, and pressed the power button to turn it on. She realized that although she could turn it on, there really wasn't any signal, and the three of us didn't have any escape on our phones.

"Hey, there's still a signal here!" Mao Tou suddenly praised as he held his phone high up in the air.

"Why isn't there any water on your phone?" I asked curiously.

"Coming out of the city and wrapping it in a waterproof bag, I think this is going to be a grave robbery? "Walking under the ground, it's hard to avoid water, sand, etc."

We all shook our heads helplessly. The Taoist took the phone from his hand. I took a glance at it and found that the signal was really full.

"It should be the military base above …" Their equipment is good, and their signal is strong! " San Mao pointed to the top of his finger.

A map slowly appeared. A pin was stuck in the center of the map, representing our position. The Taoist used two fingers to enlarge the map, and the map clearly showed that we were at the border between the three provinces. After a brief moment of comparison, the Taoist muttered:

"I knew it …"

"What?" What do you know? You should make it clear! " I shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Dragon Travelling Stone Cave!" The Taoist put down his phone and looked at us, saying softly, "This is the Dragon Travelling Stone Cave!"
