While walking and talking, more and more corpses were encountered along the way.
A little bit of green light illuminates the dark cave.
It was the green phosphorous fire on the body.
Corpse!
Countless corpses appeared in front of my eyes!
It has been spreading from the water to the shore! It has spread to the depths of the invisible end of darkness!
These corpses are all uncorrupted, except for the abnormal white skin caused by being soaked in water all year round, they still retain the appearance before their bodies.
The clothes of these corpses come from the modern war period, and some from more distant ancient times. Some people have long braids, and some people wear Ming and Song Dynasty costumes.
It is conceivable that this pile of corpses was formed at least a thousand years ago.
It's no wonder that so many corpses are piled up, even the waterways in the mountainside are filled up and are higher than the water surface.
As it goes deeper, the costumes get older, and the height of the mountains of corpses keeps piling up.
These are corpses that have been continuously washed into the depths under the tides over the long years, and they have accumulated more and more over the years, and this is the scene in front of us.
Along the way, Fangzheng was still asking Liu Shan about the situation in the Seventy-two Ghost Gates, so as to understand the terrain and environment.
"About more than ten meters away, you will see some red-painted coffins. Some of those coffins have their lids open, and the inside is empty. Even the coffins are tattered. I don't know if the original buried things inside have escaped. out."
"Some coffins are intact, which is strange."
"When you go to the end, there will be a bigger cave. The mountain of corpses there is called the real mountain of corpses. There are so many corpses that you can't even imagine! There are seven intact coffins there!"
"That's where I also saw two stone statues of tomb-suppressing beasts. My ancestors secretly searched a lot of secret information, and only then did I learn that the appearance of the tomb-suppressing beasts meant that the tomb-suppressing beasts were in the seventy-two gates of ghosts. The tomb of the mountain god is buried here. It has been said in the village that there is a large tomb here since ancient times, and it has become a fact! It is not a folk rumor!"
After Fangzheng listened, he asked Liu Shan curiously: "Then, uncle, you or your ancestors, has someone opened those coffins and seen what's in the coffins?"
When the uncle heard this, he immediately shook his head in fright.
"This is a cave for piles of corpses, also known as a place for raising corpses. Who knows what is locked in those big red-painted coffins that appear strangely on the corpse mountain. If a thousand-year-old zombie escapes, you don't even have to run. Just lie there and wait for death!"
The next journey was exactly as Liu Shan said.
Along the way began to see a lot of coffins.
But these coffins are all empty, and the surface is tattered, at least a hundred years old, Fang Zheng thought so.
Fangzheng had seen the demolition of graves in the mountains due to the construction of high-speed railways. Those scenes were so rotten that only the crunchy coffin boards remained, just like the rotten coffins in front of him.
Walked another hundred meters or so.
Along the way, I saw three broken coffins.
Finally, a group of two people came to the deepest cave, and the vision suddenly opened up, and then they saw an indescribably huge mountain of corpses, piled up here, and there were a lot of green phosphorous fires.
It is more gloomy and terrifying than mass graves and wild cemeteries in barren mountains.
On the mountain of corpses, among the swaying green will-o'-the-wisps, in the dark mountain cave, there are twelve large red-painted coffins.
Scattered with each other.
There are no rules.
At this moment, six coffins have been opened, and two coffins seem to have been smashed by a huge external force, and four coffins are left intact on the mountain of corpses.
When Fang Zheng saw the two coffins that seemed to have been split open by an external force, and the traces were still fresh, Fang Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately understood.
It must be the last time Butcher Zhang came, he made a strong move!
The two were not in a hurry to enter the corpse cave.
Because there is no place to stay in front of him, and the ground is full of corpses.
Fangzheng's gaze swept over the twelve coffins in front of him one by one. Finally, he was attracted by the two stone statues standing behind the coffins in the deepest part of the cave.
It was the two tomb town beasts mentioned by Liu Shan earlier.
Another key point that attracted Fang Zheng's attention was that the area around the Tomb Slayer was surprisingly clean, without a single corpse.
This immediately gave the two tomb-suppressing beasts, which were a bit dilapidated and dilapidated after a long history, a bit of a gloomy and treacherous atmosphere.
Tomb town beast, the ancients used it to protect the tomb.
It means that there must be a huge mausoleum nearby.
"Huh? What's going on?" Liu Shan's astonished voice made Fangzheng look at the stone statue of the tomb-suppressing beast, and turned his gaze back to Liu Shan who had been walking with him.
"Uncle, did you find something wrong?" Fangzheng asked alertly.
Liu Shan frowned, looked at the twelve large red-lacquered coffins on the corpse mountain, and said with some doubts: "When I came in last time, only five of the twelve coffins here were empty. The seven coffins are all fully closed!"
"Come here today, how come there are only four coffins left! Strange?"
Fangzheng's gaze moved, and he asked, "Uncle, when was the last time you came?"
Liu Shan replied truthfully: "The last time I entered here was when I was a child. My father's father, referred to as my grandfather, brought me in to help me practice courage. After all, it has been more than 30 years." .”
Uh, Fangzheng looked at the uncle beside him speechlessly.
"Little brother, what kind of eyes do you have? Under normal circumstances, who would be willing to come to the dangerous and inexplicable seventy-two ghost gates? Even if I come sometimes, I only occasionally help the villagers salvage the corpses washed into the seventy-two ghost gates. And it was only salvaged at the periphery, and new corpses generally would not rush so far." Liu Shan explained.
After finishing speaking, Liu Shan curiously asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Little brother, you haven't told me, what is your purpose for coming to the Seventy-two Gates of Ghosts?"
"Don't lie to me, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is definitely not a coincidence that you appeared in the seventy-two ghost gates."
Speaking of this, Liu Shan sighed.
He actually always regarded Fangzheng as an ordinary person.
Thinking about it now, I'm really glad that he didn't offend a strong man like Fangzheng in the first place.
"Uncle, I'm a fishing enthusiast, so of course I'm here to fish."
Listening to Fangzheng's words, Liu Shan has 10,000 selling hemp batches in his heart.
You are playing me!
Fishing ghost!
I'm also fishing law enforcement!
It is logical to carry fishing gear and knives to fish for law enforcement!
At this time, Fangzheng took his eyes away from Liu Shan, and carefully examined the corpse hole in front of him again.
"Uncle, thank you for leading the way. I may not be able to take care of you in the future. Go back to the boat and wait for me."
Since Liu Shan was able to safely enter the seventy-two ghost gates several times, Fangzheng believed that Liu Shan must have his own way to save his life in this place where corpses are raised.
Smart people have self-knowledge.
Liu Shan was not hypocritical, he knew that he was not strong enough and would only drag Fang Zheng back.
"Little brother, be careful of those two tomb-suppressing beasts. Those tomb-suppressing beasts are more evil than this place for raising corpses. Everything that comes close will not escape bad luck!"
After leaving a solemn remonstrance, Liu Shan returned and left on the same road.
After waiting for a while, he calculated in his mind that Liu Shan was about to arrive on the boat. At this moment, Fangzheng slammed the knife box on the ground in his hand.
He put away his smile, and his eyes turned cold.
"Gravekeeper! I! Here I come!"
"You shouldn't forget who I am so quickly, right?!"
Fangzheng's gaze was as sharp as a knife's edge, his voice resounded like a clang, and his aura was completely different. Standing in front of a huge mountain of corpses, not only did he not feel eerie, but he felt as if he would immediately slash his sword in the sea of corpses and swallow thousands of miles away. Looking down at the gods, there is a kind of intimidating aura on his body that begins to climb rapidly.
Click, click... There was a sound of chewing something, coming from the top of the pile of corpses, and then, bang!
A section and a half of corpses fell down on the mountain of corpses, and more than a dozen corpses rolled down.
Awesome!
That half of the corpse was actually the hunchbacked old man with the boa constrictor who entered here earlier!
But at this moment, he has died tragically, his upper body disappeared, as if his upper body was bitten off by some monster and eaten.
Special soul energy +1.
In an instant, three wisps of special soul energy flew up from the half of the corpse, and at the same time, several fragments of python crutches fell from the top of the head.
Ordinary Soul Qi +1, Normal Soul Qi +1...
From the fragments of the boa constrictor's crutches, a total of one hundred and thirty-six wisps of ordinary soul energy flew up in an instant.
It's like a ghost weapon! One hundred and thirty-six living people were sacrificed!
This kind of person deserves to die!
But after that, the huge corpse cave fell into a dead silence again.
The unknown mysterious monster in Fangzheng's imagination didn't sneak up on him from above.
One minute…
two minutes...
After about ten minutes of groping, Fangzheng finally lost his patience in waiting. He was about to step on the corpses on the ground and walk towards the coffins in the corpse cave.
But before that, Fang Zheng silently took out a few sticks of incense sticks from his body.
"Everyone, if I offend you today, I hope you will forgive me. I will offer a stick of incense to all the strangers who have died in other lands. This is called courtesy before soldiers. The boy came to the Seventy-two Gates of Ghosts today not to embarrass you. Please do the same." Don't embarrass me, kid."
"This stick of incense, the boy burns it first as a respect."
Fangzheng's fingertips showed Chiyang's true energy, and he lit a handful of incense sticks in his hand.
These are of course the incense of luck, not the incense of disease.
Unless he wanted to make a big death, lighting the incense of disease among so many corpses, the scene was so suffocating that it was unimaginable, and Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of a school collective food poisoning incident in the Star-Spangled Banner country. Because there were not enough toilets, the college was full of food poisoning All kinds of slime.
Fangzheng's fortune stick has at least twenty sticks of incense sticks, but he doesn't care, anyway, he has gained a lot of soul energy during this trip. To be honest, facing such a huge mountain of corpses in front of him, Fang Zheng would be lying if he said that he had no pressure in his heart, so now it is a bit of a waste of money to eliminate the disaster, so as to avoid any accidents in the middle.
Afterwards, smoke curled up in the corpse cave, making it a foul atmosphere.
After Fangzheng lit the fortune incense, he began to step on one corpse after another, climbing up the stairs as if climbing up the stairs.
Of course, Fangzheng deliberately avoided stepping on the head or face of the corpse, and only stepped on the limbs.
As a result, just as Fang Zheng took the first step, he felt something strange under his feet. He lowered his head and saw a piece of Yinde money appeared under his feet at some point, being stepped on by the sole of his shoe.
Fangzheng bent down suspiciously to pick up the Yinde money.
After taking the second step, he picked up another Yinde money.
Step 3...Step 4...Step 5...
Fangzheng finally realized what it means to pick up money and find soft hands. Every time he steps down, he will definitely pick up a piece of Yinde money.
There is a saying, "If you give me 100 catties of briquettes, I can't move them, but if you give me 200 catties of RMB, I can pick them up and run them for you"! Fangzheng was tirelessly picking up Yinde money under his feet, just like this state.
