MTL - Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort-Chapter 2344 A huge stone room underground
The scream almost reached my throat, but an indescribable sense of depression actually blocked my throat and couldn't stop it.
My face was flushed and my eyes were staring at the skeleton.
Yu Wenying also saw it, and he hurriedly rushed over, holding one hand behind me.
There was still the scream that I had just heard in the cave. I don't know how far it went. The sound was endless. With my heavy breathing and the heartbeat that almost jumped out of my chest, there was almost an illusion of shaking the mountain.
Yu Wenying didn't bother me, but Shen Sheng comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
I couldn't speak, the disordered breathing made me unable to move.
Yu Wenying took the torch in my hand and took a look at it. The horrible scene made me want to close my eyes, but I was more afraid of the darkness after closing my eyes, and I could only follow the light unconsciously.
"This, this is--"
Do n’t ask what it is. I saw it more clearly with the light of fire. This is a skeleton, and it is not an ordinary corpse. This skeleton is blackened, and half of it is frozen in the ice layer below. Only The skull and other parts are exposed.
Yu Wenying thought for a while, and then said, "This, if we didn't guess wrong, this should be the bones of the Longxi Army General who was buried here."
My heartbeat was a little heavier: "Longxi Army ...?"
"Yes," he said, lifting a torch around the circle, and then said, "This cave is the array of eyes I just measured. Obviously, it is also the place where the lake came out of before. Below Jun Zhen, these corpses should be brought out because of the lake gushing every year. When the water falls every year, the corpses will also flow back into the cave with the water. "
So instead of lying on the ground, the skeleton was frozen in the ice.
Looking at my pale face, Yu Wenying reached out and helped me: "Miss Yan, get up."
I was so frightened that my legs and feet were soft, and he stood up to help me, and I glanced into the deep black cave ahead, and could not help but tremble, there was already a skeleton in this place, then go forward ... What's ahead?
Feeling resigned, Yu Wenying said, "Ms. Yan, you have come here."
"..."
"Let's move on."
"..."
"The more so, the closer we may be to the truth."
"..."
His last words stunned me all.
the truth.
Yes, often the truth is buried in such a place, and the truth about the destruction of the Longxi Army, I already know some, even I think it is more than half, but there are some truths, maybe we still need to come to this place to really Figure it out.
Thinking of this, I bit my lower lip and forced myself to give me a little courage.
"it is good!"
Seeing me like this, Yu Wenying was also relieved, still crossing her arms in front of me: "Come, help me go."
This time I didn't take the torch, I just grabbed his arm and followed him slowly forward, but after taking two steps, I subconsciously looked back at the darkened skeleton.
"Mr. Yuwen."
"Ok?"
"Mr. Yuwen previously told me that the Longxi Army was destroyed here overnight, so you have been here to sacrifice them over the years. The old lady also hopes that you can find out the truth about the destruction of this army.
"Yes."
"Did Yuwen really not know anything?"
"..."
"If he doesn't know, what is the gamble between him and Xie Datong?"
Yu Wenying frowned slightly and looked back at me.
"Ms. Yan said that, what do you seem to know?"
"I don't know much more than Mr. Yu Wen, but the students of Jixiandian got some records about the former Emperor Qin Tianjian because of compiling the official history, and it happened that one student saw a sentence in the Qintian Auditor Then, tell me. "
I felt his breath sink sharply.
He stopped and turned to look at me: "What is it?"
I said, "The world is for those in red."
His eyes flickered with the swaying flames on the torch, and he remained silent for a long time. Instead of speaking, he slowly turned around and continued to move forward. After a while, he heard him say, "Originally, you I knew it already. "
"..."
"I thought the world would never know about this."
"So, has Mr. Yuwen kept hiding from me before?"
"..." He was silent for a while, while walking forward, he said: "Miss Yan was also asked to forgive him. This person didn't know much about it at that time. Long time, plus deliberate concealment, destruction, these Things are rarely known. I don't want too many people to know. "
"why?"
"No why, Grandpa doesn't want this to be true."
"Is the Red Man really referring to the Longxi Army?"
"..."
He was silent for a long time and slowly said, "At least from that gamble, Xie Datong may have won."
I frowned and looked at his back.
What do you mean?
Just as I was going to question, Yu Wenying suddenly said, "Be careful!"
The original spirit was tense. When he said "Be careful", the hairs of my whole body stood up. Looking over his shoulder, I was almost scared and almost shouted.
On the ground, it was full of dead bones!
I just saw a skull. This place is much more than just now. There are skulls and bodies. They are frozen in the ice on the ground, and it is clear that the water has flowed to this place.
There are so many skulls here.
Yu Wenying's breathing was also a lot heavier than just now. He held a torch to slowly illuminate the road ahead. The dry bone on the ground was creepy. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that we are very close to there. "
Although I was so scared that I forgot to breathe, I still asked, "Where? Where?"
He didn't speak, only Shen said: "Be careful."
Although it is some dead bones, in the end, it was the soldiers who had guarded the stability of the Northwest in the past. The corpses were very pitiful in such a place, so I carefully stepped on the gap in the middle of the dead bones. Try not to touch them. Slow Walk slowly.
Who knows, the farther you go, the more bones like this, and in the end it's almost difficult to even get your feet down.
And I looked up, watching the torch illuminate the place not far ahead, and faintly felt that the cave seemed to have come to an end.
I muttered, "What's up there?"
Yu Wenying also saw it.
Feeling that my voice was shaking, he stopped by himself, and I almost bumped into him northward. Yu Wenying glanced back at me and said, "Miss Yan, I promise, I can take care of you and stay there. No matter what you see, don't be afraid. "
"..."
Although he said so, I was even more panicked.
Because of these few steps, I saw the flame shining to the front, and a black hole appeared. The cave is no longer in front of it. What would it be?
What will I see after a while?
Fear and curiosity are instincts that people can't restrain. When I move forward, my heart seems to be struggling with such contradictions, but I still can't stop and step forward.
Toward the truth.
Under the light of the flame, the darkness was getting closer and closer. Although the cave was full of ice, it was already freezing our hands and feet, but at this time, I was sweating.
Finally, came to the end of this cave.
Yu Wenying walked in front, and looked forward with the torch in his hand, but still could not illuminate the way forward. He tempted to take a step, and heard the sound of a crackling stone rolling away, and then he immediately Stopped.
"what happened?"
I asked subconsciously and took a step forward.
Immediately after taking this step, Yu Wenying raised his hand and stopped me. I was stopped by him and stopped immediately, but when I looked forward, I was shocked and took a breath of air.
There is no way ahead!
Our feet are empty!
I was frightened and took a step back immediately. I hurriedly reached out and supported the stone wall next to me. Yu Wenying lowered her voice and said, "Miss Yan, be careful."
The crackling sound of that little stone sounded for a long time, it seemed to be echoes, and when it finally stopped, I didn't know how far it was.
I said nervously, "What's up ahead?"
Yu Wenying took a deep breath and pierced the torch forward.
Until this time, we did not see clearly.
Ahead of it, there was a huge stone room.
No wonder it was completely dark when the fire hit here, because there was no head at all, and we could barely see the surroundings. The end of our cave was right on the mountain wall, and it was still very far from the top of the cave Long distance, and the distance from the bottom of the cave is also very high.
Fortunately, he didn't rush out just now, otherwise, I'm afraid he has fallen into pieces.
I asked nervously, "Well, how can there be such a place here?"
Yu Wenying didn't say anything. His eyes were never as tense as at this moment, and even sweat dripped from his forehead. He looked around with a torch for a long time, and then looked forward, and said suddenly: "I finally know why This place is in full swing. "
"what?"
I didn't understand, but when I saw him looking straight ahead, he followed his gaze.
At this look, he was startled again.
Just now I thought this was just an empty stone room, and now the fire was faintly shining on a huge black shadow in front of me. I took a closer look and found that there was actually a huge rock column in this stone room, which extended from the top of the cave. , As if a sharp sword, inserted straight below.
The fire shone faintly, and a silver light shone below.
