I recalled the dull and monotonous footsteps of eldest senior brother and I in the silent passageway. After walking for about two to three minutes, when I looked back, I could no longer see the open door. It was still pitch black behind me.
After walking forward a distance, I made a new discovery and discovered that a mural had started to appear on both sides of the corridor. The mural was extremely exquisite, and it was well-preserved, as if it was a narrative mural. The first mural depicted a young man in his twenties wearing a set of tattered clothes, looking like he was begging for food.
The second mural was a huge change. This young man had changed into a new set of clothes and was wearing the official uniform. However, it was the uniform of a eunuch. A large group of young eunuchs were kneeling on the ground with a haughty appearance.
In the third mural, the eunuch appeared in a temple deep in the mountains, surrounded by white mist. An old Daoist sat on a stone like an immortal, and the eunuch knelt in front of the old Daoist Immortal, who seemed to be holding something in his hand and was about to pass it to him.
I didn't even have time to look at the fourth mural when I heard eldest senior brother calling for me to stop and quickly catch up to him. I replied in agreement, and when I raised my head to look, I found that eldest senior brother was already very far away from me.
"Brat, what are you dawdling for?" The Eldest Senior Brother turned around and asked me.
"I saw that there was a mural on the wall, so I looked at it a little more. It might be useful to us." "No," I said.
"What's painted on it?"
"Nothing much, it seems like he drew a young man in his twenties who suddenly entered the palace to be a eunuch, and his position was not low either. Later on, that eunuch seemed to be studying outside, taking in a Taoist for cultivation, and after that, he didn't even have the time to take a look." "No," I said.
This piqued the interest of the Eldest Senior Brother, and he said, "Last night, we met some of your ghosts. Aren't they Eunuch Zhang and Eunuch Liu? They said that there was also Eunuch Li here. I believe that this place should be where he will be buried. "
"But what does the tomb of Eunuch Li have to do with the people who died on top?" I wondered.
"Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me? Should we ask Eunuch Li? " The eldest senior brother teased me before continuing to walk forward.
The two of us walked forward another ten meters before the Eldest Senior Brother suddenly stopped. I almost bumped into his back and asked curiously, "Eldest Senior Brother, why aren't we leaving?"
The eldest senior brother turned around and made a gesture to me to keep quiet. He carefully said, "Youngest junior brother …." There seems to be someone up ahead … "
"Where?" I was shocked and used my flashlight to shine in front of me. When I saw the light, I was shocked. Holy crap, there really is someone in front. That person was sitting on the ground with his back facing us and didn't move at all.
The Eldest Senior Brother and I looked at each other and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, why is there a person appearing in such a desolate place?"
Who knows, maybe it's a tomb robber, but he couldn't find the way out and died of hunger here, or maybe he was hit by a hidden weapon in the eunuch's tomb, causing him to die here. We brothers need to be more careful, since there are dead people here, then we should prove that this place is dangerous. As the eldest senior brother spoke, he continued to walk forward with the peach wood sword. I also held the date wood sword in my hand tightly as I carefully followed behind him.
Not long after, the two of us walked next to the person who was sitting down and discovered that he was indeed a dead person. Not only was he dead, he was also a dried up corpse, and his skin was severely shriveled, sticking to his bones. It is not strange for a dried corpse to appear here.
Because the corpse before us is dressed in the attire of a Daoist. In his hand is a peach wood sword, he wore a green robe, and on his head is a bun. On the bun is a wooden stick, and he has a beard.
But no matter how long it took, the Taoists at that time were all truly capable. If even such a profound old Taoist died here, then wouldn't Big Senior and I be in grave danger?
Maybe both of us had thought of it, and we were silent for a while.
After musing for a long time, I suddenly said, "Eldest senior brother, how about we go back? This place is very dangerous. Why don't we go back and invite Master to come and take a look? It would be best to call second senior uncle, otherwise we'll probably die here."
"Kid, are you scared?" the Eldest Senior Brother asked.
"I am not afraid of death, but this death is not worth it. If we leave the mountain, we will have nothing to worry about. If we die here, we won't even be able to see the light of day." I said.
"That's fine. I feel that we can't stay here for too long. How about we go up first?" With that, the eldest senior brother continued to scan the area with the flashlight. I took a look at it with the help of the eldest senior brother's flashlight and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Right in front of this dried up corpse, there were four to five other corpses.
This situation made Eldest Martial Brother and I even more determined to leave this place.
After we had only taken two steps forward, we suddenly heard a hoarse and muffled roar from behind us, which scared me so much that my whole body trembled. When I turned around to look, it almost scared me to the point that my urine almost came out. The dried corpse from before not only stood up, but what was even more terrifying was that there was actually a layer of furry black hair growing on its body, making it look like a hedgehog with fur all over its face.
"Dark Ferocious!" The moment he saw this guy who had suddenly grown black hair, the Eldest Senior Brother cried out in alarm.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what the hell is a criminal doing?" I asked in confusion.
"The Black Demon is one of the zombies. It's very cruel, stop talking nonsense and run!" After saying that, the Eldest Senior Brother grabbed my arm and rushed off toward the road that I had come from.
Our speed of escape was not slow, but that bandit was not bad either. With a few leaps, he was four to five meters behind me and eldest senior brother. The eldest senior brother and I could only run for our lives, not even daring to look back as we thought in our hearts that we should quickly climb up the rope and leave this dangerous place.
