The tomb is surrounded by stars. The silver stars in the dark sky are blue and glow like fireflies. The light is getting brighter and brighter, as if it has absorbed the energy in the void, and with that energy, it has become more solid and full, becoming more and more dazzling.
After adjusting his clothes and tying his hair behind his head, Zhou Baopu looked around.
Although the light drove away the darkness, it did not drive away the silence. Still dead silence, still peaceful. Zhou Baopu could hear the dead branches creaking under his feet. This kind of noise, in this silent night, seemed to be amplified a lot through the amplification notes.
"Whoosh!"
A sound sounded from Zhou Baopu's waist, but it was the black curved sickle that flew out of Zhou Baopu's waist.
Zhou Baopu opened his eyes wide in shock, looking at the dark curved sickle with some confusion, as if he didn't know what was going on. With a trace of doubt, he didn't know why the dark curved sickle, which had always been as quiet as a tree, didn't fly out on its own under his hand.
I stretched out my hand to grab it, but no matter what, I couldn't catch it.
As if it had its own consciousness, when it saw Zhou Baopu trying to catch it, the dark curved sickle suddenly dodged. First, he pointed the sickle blade at Zhou Baopu, then started to swing from side to side, and finally started to swing forward again. It looked like he was trying to lead Zhou Baopu somewhere.
The silvery azure starlight, like steaming water vapor, leisurely sprinkled on the sickle blade. The dazzling white sickle blade was so bright that Zhou Baopu almost avoided looking at it, not daring to look directly at the sickle blade with his eyes. However, after understanding the meaning of the jet-black curved sickle, Zhou Baopu, who was astonished, did not think much and just followed the jet-black curved sickle forward.
Then, a strange scene appeared in Sihe's tomb.
A pitch-black curved sickle, with a shining white sickle blade, jumped forward in the void. Immediately behind it was a ragged young man. There was still a large pool of blood on the young man's back, which was bright red and reflected the stars, shining on his clothes.
While walking, Zhou Baopu suddenly discovered that the crooked sickle disappeared very suddenly.
While wondering, Zhou Baopu also quickened his pace, and did not stop when he reached the place where the sickle blade disappeared. As if passing through a thin membrane, Zhou Baopu suddenly entered a thin film. A rotten smell sprayed over his face.
Although Zhou Baopu felt a little nauseous, he did not retreat because he saw the dark curved sickle emitting light in front of him.
What appeared in front of Zhou Baopu was an opened tomb. The tomb seemed to have been cut open with a sharp sword, and it was divided into two halves directly from the middle. Like a wall, the tombstones on both sides stood sideways, and in the middle was a tomb, lying in a depression in front of Zhou Baopu.
Reflecting the starlight, it was not difficult for Zhou Baopu to tell that the tombstone had been divided into two parts. The handwriting on it is no longer legible due to its age. The mottled holes were very shallow, but they conveyed a strong pressure.
The person who could carve these epitaphs must have been a powerful figure a long time ago.
Because it was sunken into the ground, Zhou Baopu, who was at a certain distance from it, could not see clearly everything in the tomb. In addition, the tomb stones erected on both sides reduce the entry of starlight into the tomb. Zhou Baopu knew that as long as he took a few more steps forward, he would be able to see the scene.
When the pitch-black curved sickle floated over the tomb, it suddenly became a little excited and began to tremble involuntarily. It was as if an emotion of extreme surprise was filling the entire body. This made Zhou Baopu curious, and he took a few steps forward involuntarily.
"Ouch...!"
It's not surprising that Zhou Baopu made a fuss, because he took a few steps forward and came to the tomb. When he looked down, he saw the most horrifying scene in his life.
The lid of a sarcophagus was opened, and the four walls of the sarcophagus were covered with bright silver stars, as if they were decorated with stars. The mouth was open, but it was unclear what exactly was inside. The reason why he couldn't see clearly inside was because something blocked Zhou Baopu's sight.
What blocked Zhou Baopu's sight was a skeleton. To be precise, it should be considered a skinny body. Not the paleness of the bones, but the blackness of coal, just rotting beside the coffin. When Zhou Baopu looked at it, his scalp could not help but feel numb.
However, on the contrary, the dark curved sickle became even more excited when he saw this scene. As if he had seen some delicious child, he immediately began to rush downwards. But as if he was still a little afraid, he circled around the skinny body a few times. It seemed that after he was sure that there was no danger, he slowly began to fly towards the tomb.
Seeing that nothing wrong happened, Zhou Baopu visually measured the height and rushed downwards.
Zhou Baopu also had a natural fear of the skinny body, so he avoided it and looked into the coffin.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
What lies in the sarcophagus is a real skeleton. Different from ordinary skeletons, this skeleton looks particularly crystal clear. Between the muscles and bones, stars appear, and where the bones join together, they shine brightly. It looks extremely extraordinary and seems to be really rare.
When Zhou Baopu saw this corpse, what he thought in his heart was not fear, but a kind of heartfelt appreciation. Nature's creation, the most amazing work of art, lies in the sarcophagus. Zhou Baopu even had doubts as to whether the starlight on the sarcophagus came from the corpse or was drawn from the boundless starry sky. This seems to be a mystery that cannot be solved, or it is a puzzle that I don’t know how to solve.
"Crack...!"
There was a click sound, followed by click-click sounds. It was as if there was an unexplained wind blowing from the ground, and the appalling sound of bones rubbing against each other suddenly rang out in the silent night. However, Zhou Baopu seemed to be still immersed in admiring the bones and did not hear it.
Behind Zhou Baopu, the skinny corpse began to move.
The dark wrinkled skin slowly relaxed, and during the relaxation, sections of joints began to vibrate. The joints shook slowly, and soon after, the entire corpse began to function. With a bang, a ball of green fire began to bloom.
The head of the pitch-black body was suddenly lit up. Like a lantern, it looks particularly green under the starlight. This green color gave him a hint of weirdness. The noise followed by the wind, got into Zhou Baopu's ears, and finally awakened Zhou Baopu's nerves.
Zhou Baopu wanted to turn back, but partly because of fear and partly because he couldn't move, he finally failed. His body seemed to be out of his control in an instant, making him slightly sluggish. But his eyes could clearly see everything in front of him.
The pitch-black curved sickle began to shake violently, as if it had been frightened.
