Chapter 72 The man embedded in the stone wall
If my guess is correct, then, it means that there are more bodies in this place.
As soon as I thought of this, I heard Shi Tao shout, "There are two more here!"
We surrounded us again and found that this man was not far from the corpse just now. He was lying on his back on the ground, seemingly dying peacefully. Next to him was a corpse lying on his side.
According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for a family to participate in such activities to bring only these few people. Although it is not the more, there will be no more people, but there will be only three or four people. In the face of interests, morality is extremely fragile. Once a dispute arises, only if the power is strong enough can you have the right to speak.
So we speculated that there should be many corpses of the Tan family in this sacrificial hall. However, after we looked around, there were no dead bodies.
This made us a little strange. Could it be that the boss of the Tan family was so arrogant that he thought that these few people could gain the upper hand in front of the other three major families? Is it because of this that he ended up being wiped out and dying in a foreign land?
It shouldn't be that the Tan family has a long history. If they can become the leader, they will never be an ordinary person. Moreover, the Tan family is located in Sichuan, and the Sichuan people are very smart. I believe that the Tan family will not make such a mistake if they can gain a foothold.
But where are the other people in the Tan family? No one in the Tan family went out for that incident back then, so they should have all died in this desert unless they did not die in the same place.
I looked at these corpses and always felt something was wrong! A thought flashed through my mind, but I couldn't catch it.
Shi Tao squatted down and looked at the two corpses, shook his head, "There are some injuries on his body, but they are not vital, and they are not poisoned. I don't understand why they died here?"
Shi Tao's two words suddenly made me realize. I probably knew what I had just thought of, so I asked, "Do you think something is wrong with these three corpses?"
Shi Tao said: "Are you talking about the cause of their death?"
I pondered for a moment and said, "It's not all. The cause of their death is one aspect, and the number of them." I turned to ask Uncle Er, "Uncle Er, do you know how many people the other three major families had in the fight against each other twenty years ago?"
The second uncle thought for a while and said, "Things back then were definitely the most involved in the tomb robbery and robbery activity in modern China. The number of people sent by each family of the four major families is basically between twelve and fifteen."
After the second uncle finished speaking, he looked at me, "You mean the number of people who died here in the Tan family is wrong, are you?"
I nodded, "But there is another strange thing. As soon as I saw these three corpses, I felt that something was wrong with them. Now I finally figured it out. What was wrong is their posture and attitude!"
"Position and attitude?" For a moment, they didn't understand what I was talking about.
So I thought they explained: "The three of them lie here and seemed very peaceful, which means they died very peacefully. You can imagine the scene at that time. These three people were not poisoned or fatally injured. They sat or lie here, quietly waiting for death! Why is this?"
"Why?" Uncle Er and the others were caught off guard by my sudden question and did not think of any answers for a while.
I looked at their confused eyes and had to announce the answer directly, "This means they are desperate and give up their hope of escape. This only means one thing," then I said word by word: "They find that they can't get out at all!"
Kong Xue thought about it carefully and said, "Is they guarding another master with a knife at the exit on the ground?"
Shi Tao shook his head, "This is impossible! If you don't rush out, you will die. When you reach that critical moment of life and death, the desire to survive will make people rush out even if it's a chance, and even if it's only one in ten thousand, these people will try. So if they want to die, they should die in the position of Tan Dazhuo. But if as Zhuoran said, these people give up their hope of survival, it means they think that the possibility of going out is zero! There is no way, so they can only wait for death!"
After Shi Tao finished speaking, he frowned, "Then I still can't figure out why they can't go to the exit of the ground?"
The second uncle took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This means that except for the Tan Dada family, the others can't even get out of this sacrificial hall!"
As soon as the second uncle finished speaking, everyone was silent immediately. It can be imagined that these people at that time must have experienced something extremely terrible.
Kong Xue shook her head in disbelief, "This is too mysterious. The exit is fixed there. How can you not get out? Is there still a ghost here to hit a wall?"
As soon as Kong Xue’s words “Ghost Blasting the Wall” were released, we immediately became nervous!
The second uncle waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't guess it anymore. I'm scaring myself. I think we'd better look around. Maybe we'll find the bodies of other people in the Tan family and things will be clear!"
We nodded in agreement and began to expand the scope of our search until we reached the edge of this sacrificial hall and did not find any other bodies.
This puzzled us. As our flashlight swayed, I suddenly found that the stone walls around me were a little strange. The light of the flashlight was diffusely reflected on it, and a strange luster seemed to appear on the stone wall.
Since we were all focused on the ground just now, we didn't notice the abnormality above. I found that I couldn't see what material the stone wall was made of for a while. I raised the flashlight and observed it carefully. When I touched the very hard rock, it looked like a solidified texture.
As I walked forward, I looked at the strange stone wall. At this time, a very abrupt bulge on the stone wall suddenly appeared in the flashlight, which scared me.
I glanced there, but found that it seemed like a stone pillar was stretched out from the stone wall. I was wondering why such a rock appeared on the stone wall. But when I raised the flashlight and looked over carefully, I was stunned. This was not a protruding stone pillar, it turned out to be an arm! An arm stretched out from the stone wall!
I was so shocked by this sudden situation that I gasped in my breath. I pressed the surging in my heart and looked around the arm. Not far from this arm, and also on this hard stone wall, there was a painful human face embedded.
I could no longer suppress the horror in my heart and screamed "ah".
My screams scared the others and hurried over and asked me: "What's wrong with Zhuoran!" "Are you okay?"
I took two steps back, away from the stone wall in front of me, and pointed at the position just now, saying, "Here, there! There is a person embedded in the stone wall!"
I was shocked by this scene and was a little incoherent. Uncle Er and the others hurried over and took a look, and suddenly became stunned. The few people were stunned.
I calmed down and walked over again, looking at the person embedded in the stone wall. The part exposed on the surface of the stone wall had dried up. His hand was opened in pain, with a hideous and desperate expression on his face. It seemed that he must have experienced extreme pain and fear before he died.
We cannot understand how a living person was embedded in the stone wall, and we did not find any traces of excavation on the stone wall.
This situation gives people the feeling that a person has merged into the stone wall. Thinking of this, I hurriedly retracted my hand that was holding on the stone wall.
Kong Xue looked at the man in the stone wall nervously, "Are the rest of the Tan family behind this stone wall?"
"No!" Uncle Er's voice came from the side, "They are all here!"
When we walked to my second uncle, we saw that everyone was struck by lightning, and their bodies were numb! We only saw a large stone wall in front of us, with seven or eight people embedded in it. These people had already turned into mummies, and their movements were different. Some stretched out their heads and hands, some stretched out their heads and feet, but most of them only exposed their backs. We don’t even rule out that some people were completely "drown" in the stone wall.
I felt that my back was soaked in cold sweat, and a horror atmosphere spread. The nervous heartbeats and rapid breathing of several people were extremely clear in the quiet and bizarre atmosphere.
After a while, the second uncle cursed, "Damn, what's going on? How did they get into the stone?"
I think no one can answer this question.
Kong Xue looked at the corpses on the stone wall uneasy and said with some trembling words: "Why are their backs facing here? It seems that they walked in by themselves."
Kong Xue is right. These corpses do give people the feeling that they seem to have actively melted into these rocks. But how can rocks melt people into them? Is the material of these stones very special?
But no matter what, there is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, that is, why do they do this? I couldn't help but ask, "Why did they walk in by themselves?"
The second uncle hesitated for a moment and said, "Unless, unless..."
We hurriedly urged Uncle Second, "Unless what?" "Uncle Second, what do you want to say?"
Uncle II continued, "Unless they mistakenly think that it is the exit!"
As soon as my second uncle said, I suddenly shuddered. I suddenly felt extremely uneasy, Exit? Exit?
"Oh no!" I screamed. At the same time, Uncle Er had already run out and we hurriedly followed him. Uncle Er and I should have the same idea. The direction we were running was the exit when we came!
