Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran winked at A Ming, and A Ming took the reagents and test strips and tested them at the entrance of the hole.

"The air quality inside is fine, it should be safe." A Ming looked at the red test paper and said.

"What kind of Taoism are you doing?" Hong Wu was stunned. He only knew that ghosts were blowing lamps, but he didn't know that he could test the air with paper.

"This is called science." A Ming replied with a smile.

After confirming that there was no danger, Wang Jinpeng came to the entrance of the cave.

Under his leadership, the others followed behind and advanced slowly.

They soon came to a darkroom. This darkroom was also very low, about 2 meters high, and you could reach the top with your hand.

I took a flashlight and looked around, and found that there were a lot of notches here that looked like shop windows.

It looks like a place in a temple dedicated to worshiping Buddha statues.

Moreover, there are many placed inside the notch. What is placed there is a Buddha statue, but what is placed here is a series of human figurines.

It was so sudden that I almost screamed out of fright.

After calming down, Lin Ran ran to check out these human figurines.

Wang Jinpeng said: "These figurines are too lifelike."

He also reached out and touched it, "Hey, it's not made of pottery, it's so soft."

Lin Ran also touched it, and by touch, he realized that it was not made of clay.

Rather...

"These are mummies." Lin Ran said in a deep voice.

The other people's faces instantly turned pale. No wonder they felt uncomfortable the moment they saw these human figurines. It turned out to be instinct.

The so-called mummy is to dig out all the organs from the body after death, then stuff them with fillers, and then perform a simple embalming treatment on the skin, so as to ensure that they can be preserved as much as possible.

It's just that this is the first time Lin Ran has seen a mausoleum buried with mummies. Was there still such a custom in the Yuan Dynasty?

He felt a little strange in his heart. After all, the human sacrifice system had not been used since the Qin Dynasty, so why did he still keep living and going back?

But then I thought about it and realized that the burial system actually had its ups and downs in Chinese history, sometimes being abolished and sometimes being revived.

He stared at these human figurines and shuddered in his heart.

Although their skin has dried a lot, judging from their expressions, they have experienced pain during their lifetimes.

Because the skin has been tightened, it can be seen that it was calmed down after death, but there is no way to change the shape of the muscles that have lost their activity.

How do you feel about being a burial object?

The skin is only slightly air-dried and appears a bit brown.Therefore, they immediately regarded them as pottery figurines.

As for the lack of rot, Lin Ran took a flashlight and shined it on the surface.

Then touch it again with your hand and feel it.

"Their bodies were painted with a layer of paint, just like the paint on pottery figurines." Lin Ran felt a little uncomfortable.

It was exactly the same scene as the last time I saw it in the tomb of Taizu Liao.

The internal organs of these corpses have been hollowed out, and they can maintain such a sitting posture. It is probably because they have been filled with mercury to increase their mass.

The people present were all tomb robbers and had seen big scenes, so they didn’t get too entangled in this issue.

But Xu Yi was the first to see him. He asked: "But judging from his expression, he should have been very peaceful when he died. He didn't look like he was in pain."

"Don't look at the expression, look at the wrinkles." Lin Ran said.

Lao Hei interrupted their academic discussion and said, "Come back and study. There is still a lot of road ahead."

"Yes." Lin Ran nodded, and they gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explore the human figurines and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, no trace of Ma Dong or the others was found.

While walking, no one spoke much. Only Wang Jinpeng and Huang Hao were discussing the human figurines just now.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Lin Ran felt something was wrong.

Is this passage too long?Why hasn't it taken so long?

He suddenly called everyone to stop and said, "Are we going in a circle?"

"Going around in circles?" Lao Hei was a little confused. "How do you know?"

Lin Ran pointed to a human figurine next to him and said: "We have been passing by the human figurines just now. We didn't think anything of it the first or second time, but the third time we passed by, I paid special attention to his movements. His movements were very special. It's the finger holding flowers. The one next to him is..." Lin Ran reported the movements of each figurine. Others did not notice this detail at first. After Lin Ran reminded them, they discovered that they had indeed been spinning in place.

"Then what should we do?" Lao Hei asked.

"This is a maze, and it should be a trap in it." Lin Ran squatted down and started drawing on the ground with a pen.

"Is it okay?" Hong Wu asked anxiously.

Being trapped in an underground maze is very dangerous.

And this underground palace doesn't look small. They were so careful, but they still fell into the trap.

He remembered his previous encounter in the Holy Tower, and he kept wandering around in the trap.

Besides, the situation was much more complicated at that time, and now at least there is no danger of falling off the cliff.

"Leave two people where they are, let's continue walking forward." Lin Ran came up with a way to crack it, because he found that although these human figurines all looked the same.

But there are still slight differences between them.

Turning in circles is definitely turning in circles, but I don’t know how many such figurines there are.

With his memory and experience, he knew that this was deliberately creating an atmosphere of fear, making them mistakenly believe that they had entered a ghost wall.

In fact, it is going back and forth between several "windows".

In the end, Lao Hei's men volunteered to stay where they were, and Lin Ran continued to move forward with the others.

Sure enough, in front of the next identical human figurine, there was no sign of Lao Hei's men.

Lao Hei was a little worried and asked, "Where are they?"

Lin Ran replied: "Don't worry, they should still be safe."

"Then why didn't you see them?"

"Because, these are basically two different display areas for human figurines." Lin Ran replied.

Then he stated his theory.

To confirm his conjecture, Lin Ran said: "We still need two volunteers."

"Are you coming?" Hong Wu frowned. Now it was only him and the boss, and the others were Lin Ran's people.

If he wanted to do something wrong to them, there would be no way to escape.

At this time, Wang Jinpeng and Huang Hao stood up and said, "Let's be here."

The reason why there are two people left is to have someone to take care of them. If something happens to one of them, it will be too late to call for help.

Lin Ran naturally didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.

He continued to move forward with everyone, leaving two people behind wherever he went.

In the end, only Lin Ran, Liu Jingfeng, Lao Hei and Xu Ning were left.

They turned around three times, and Lin Ran also felt a little strange. If there were more, there was nothing he could do.

Apparently others discovered this too.

Lao Hei said, "Mr. Lin, what is going on? Can we still go out?"

"It must be possible." Liu Jingfeng said, "We have to believe in our legs!"

"But where are they?" Lao Hei looked extremely dissatisfied.

Just as their noise became louder and louder, they walked a little further and heard Lao Hei's men greeting them.

"Boss, are you back?"
