Chapter 20 Peacock Feather

Before he finished speaking, I didn't know who I kicked, and I almost fainted in the face. Then I heard the sound of the wooden board fracturing. I didn't know what happened. In a panic, I quickly lit the torch and stared at it. I saw Lao Yang fighting with something, and had rolled into the pile of coffins. The whole row of coffins was scattered, and the bones were scattered all over the ground.

I went up to help, but found that I couldn't help. The thing was not big, but was very powerful. Lao Yi's weight of more than 100 pounds could not be suppressed by him. The two of them flipped together and rushed around. I couldn't get close to me at all, and if I didn't have much trouble, I would kick it for no reason. I couldn't enter the battle group after several attempts, so I could only stand outside and be anxious.

After a while, Lao Yang couldn't hold on anymore. The thing almost successfully escaped several times. I saw that it would not work anymore, so I had to greet Master Liang. They rushed up and down to Lao Yang and pressed Lao Yang and the thing under my body. Lao Yang didn't expect that I would use this move and pressed me hard enough, so I hurriedly shouted: "You fucking leisure! My spine is about to break."

I pressed Lao Yang hard and pressed the three people's weight completely on the thing below. I found that there was no movement, so I asked him, "How is it? Is that thing dead?"

Lao Yang squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "I don't know! But if you don't let go of your fucking, I'll die!"

I saw his face flushed and knew that my weight was indeed not light. I quickly removed the force. Lao Yang turned over and breathed a sigh of relief, and said to me: "You... your fucking attack was too ruthless. I thought it would be fine if I folded seven or eight people when I was a child? Fortunately, I had a hard spine, otherwise I would have been paralyzed half of my body!"

I said why are you talking too much? If you didn’t handle that thing, would I still be so old like a man? If you fold your waist, I wouldn’t be more relaxed.

When Lao Yang heard this, he rubbed his waist and scolded me for being heartless. I ignored him and turned to Master Liang and said, "After that, what is that thing? Why is it so powerful but amazing? You have to take a closer look."

After hearing what I said, all three of us came to our senses. We leaned over and saw a grey fluffy thing in the pile of coffins, probably as big as a lynx. It was flattened and trembling constantly.

Lao Yang picked up a human thigh bone and turned the ball over. I saw it, fucked! It’s been so long. It turned out that he was just a big mouse.

I looked at Lao Yang and Master Liang, and they looked at me, and the three of them laughed. No wonder they couldn't find the attacker no matter how they looked for it. It turned out that this was the case. After the rat attacked us, he must have just drilled into the hole in any coffin and disappeared. We, the group of SBs, thought we had met a ghost, and it was really an old hen who called him mother-by-that (scared) himself.

But when I thought about it, I felt it was inappropriate. This rat is too big, it is a circle bigger than a cat, and I don’t know what breed it is. The coffins here are so ragged, probably all of them are their masterpieces. Maybe they grew up eating the corpses in the coffin, and I don’t know how many such rats there are in the cave of the thousand coffin. If I meet a group, I will have to eat them and keep my head covered.

Lao Yang had the same thoughts as me, and after a smile, his face changed. He said, "No, this rat emperor has crushed us to death. I don't know if his rat descendants will cause trouble for us. I think it's better to withdraw quickly and not stay at the scene of the crime."

I nodded in agreement. Lao Yang turned his head and took a few steps, and suddenly said, "Hey, Kao Gao - where should we go?"

I looked up and found that there was a melee just now, and it was the same before and after. Now I can no longer tell where we are coming or where we are going.

Although I had a little feeling in my heart that I could vaguely distinguish the correct position, this feeling was too light and I could hardly be sure that I was really sure that what I thought was correct. Once I hesitated, the feeling disappeared without a trace.

Lao Yang looked at it for more than a dozen times, but he saw that there was no way out, so he said to me: "Forget it, the coffin here has been like this anyway. Let's rush over to the top."

I looked at it and still felt something was wrong, so I wanted to ask Master Liang for his opinion. When I turned around, I found that he was not listening to us at all, but was concentrating on cleaning up the bones on the ground.

I felt strange in my heart, and I held Lao Yang in my arms, and the two of them leaned over to see what he was doing.

This battle between humans and rats involved more than a dozen coffins. These coffins had already decayed to only have shapes. So once they were hit, their bodies and spirits were destroyed, and almost all of them were broken into wood pieces. The bones inside naturally rolled out, and the ground was in chaos. Master Liang found these bones one by one from the wood pieces and put them aside.

Most of these bones are incomplete. They are probably used as tools for grinding teeth. Some of them are dug in the pits on them. Some of them are no longer able to tell which bone is on the human body.

Lao Yang saw that Master Liang was already thinking, and was curious and asked him, "Master, where are you pounding garlic?"

Master Liang was stunned for a moment, turned his head and said to me, "It's amazing. I made trouble for this rat, but I made a mistake and found a big secret."

I looked at the light of my eyes, and was inexplicably excited, and I felt even more strange. What secret can this bone of Raozi have?

Master Liang asked us to squat down, picked up a bone and gave it to us, and asked, "Two, let's see, can you see something?"

Lao Yang and I looked at each other, not knowing what he was playing. Lao Yang smiled strangely and said, "Are you not chilling us? We are making a fuss about death, not a fuss about death. You should just say it. After that, we are going to rush forward."

Master Liang smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm so excited that I can't even say anything. Don't mind. Let me think about what to say first. Uh--you look at this place of bones and take a closer look."

I took the bone. When I looked at it myself, I saw a very smooth gap where he pointed. The incision and bone are of the same color as the bone, and it should be quite old. However, Master Liang showed me what the purpose of this was, but I couldn't think of it.

Master Liang looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't tell you. Let me tell you that this bone is the collarbone of a person, and it is this position." He pointed to his neck and then said, "This gap is called an old bone injury. It was caused before death. Look at the sharp incision. There is no situation in the healing of the bones, which means that the time of the wound is very close to the time of the death of the man."

Lao Xing was very impatient and said, "What, the bones are injured, right? It's so pitiful that the bones are injured, but let's go quickly, the torches are almost burned."

Master Liang waved his hand and said, "Give me another three minutes, I'll finish it soon!"

I saw that he was very excited. He would definitely not give up if he didn't say it clearly. Lao Yang wasted time instead. He hurriedly let Lao Yang not interrupt, and turned to Master Liang and said, "Don't pay attention to him, please tell me quickly."

He swallowed and said, "Where did you say just now? Oh, the time of this wound is very close to the time of this person's death. It can be concluded that this wound should be the cause of this person's death. All of them are at this position, probably because someone used a knife to cut the carotid artery from above the clavicle. The knife was cut too quickly, so it was scratched on the bone."

I was puzzled when I heard this. I asked, "Didn't it mean that the people buried in this cave must be the ones who died naturally? As you said, is the owner of this bone murdered?"

Master Liang smiled strangely. He shook his head: "Not only this one, all the corpses here died like this. Look, there are 7 collarbones here, with such cut marks on them, so this is not a cave burial of the Miao people, but a slaughtered corpse pile. I guess, all of these thousands of people were cut to death. If you don't believe it, we will open all these coffins and will definitely prove what I said."

After Master Liang said this, he looked at me with a sharp look. I showed him spontaneously, thinking about what happened to this person, just piled up corpses, and was so excited that he was so excited that he asked him, "Master Liang, what are the big secrets you are talking about, which is what you mean?"

Master Liang pretended to be mysterious and said, "No, this is just the prologue of the big secret. Next, I want to talk about it, which is the main topic."

Lao Yang was extremely impatient. When he heard that his chin almost fell to the ground, he said, "Ah? The prelude just now. Then wait a moment, who, Lao Wu, you put out the torch first, wait and then light it up. I'll find a place to lie down for a while."

Master Liang had already entered the state completely and did not care at all. He took out a piece of stuff from the coffin and said to me: "The big secret is hidden in this thing."

I took it and saw it. It was an indescribable thing, as if it was a hat or part of the armor. However, since this thing was not a bone, it must be an underworld weapon. I picked it up and looked at the torch carefully, and said in surprise: "Is it a Tartar hat (official hat of the Qing Dynasty)?"

Master Liang nodded: "Not bad."

At this time, I don’t know if it was infected by the nervous master or my intuition, but I vaguely felt that Master Liang’s story might really have some earth-shaking elements in it, and it made me feel cold for a while.

Master Liang continued, "The official hats in the Qing Dynasty were divided into warm hats and cold hats. Look at this piece, there is no lining, it is a cold hat. This person died in summer, and the strangest thing is this thing." He carefully peeled out a piece of thing from the fragments of the official hat: "Look, although this piece of thing is inconspicuous, it is the key. Little Angkor, you are a wise man, you can tell what it is at a glance."

I had already made me feel cold all over. When I looked at him, I immediately understood that the thing was nothing else, but the fragments of the petal feather on the hat of the Qing official. It was probably when the corpse was rotten and the corpse liquid was stuck to the hat. When I looked, I found that it was still a petal feather. I took a breath and took a breath of cold air. How could an official with a peacock feather on his head, a fifth-rank or above died in this place?

Master Liang had already found many fragments of the feathers. I counted my eyes and they were all peacock feathers. I was shocked. Could it be that all the officials died here were officials? I thought to myself, how could it be possible? There were only a few officials in the Qing Dynasty, and there were thousands of corpses here, and there were not enough officials who killed all the fifth-rank officials.

Lao Yang saw that my face was strange, but he couldn't understand what we were talking about.

He photographed me and asked, "Well, is the main topic ready? We really have no time. You guys are so close to each other, let's talk slowly when you go back."

I ignored him and asked Master Liang what happened. It was so weird that these corpses were piled up here. First, since they were slaughtering, it would be enough to throw them around, why do you put the corpses into the coffin? Second, why do you have to line up the coffin in the Qimen Dunjia? If you want to trap people, wouldn't it be better to use stones that will not rot.

Master Liang waved his hand and said that this was not clear. However, he said that the fifth-rank officials in the Qing Dynasty were not as few as I thought. Most of the sword-bearing guards in the palace were fifth-rank, and there were also thousands of people coming. In addition, the number of palaces and all special units in various places was far greater than that here. Besides, we have not opened all the coffins here, and we cannot be sure that all the corpses in the coffins were carrying peacock feathers.

There is no custom of burying caves in the crowd. It may have taken a lot of trouble to move the corpse here. If it were as Master Liang said, such a large-scale massacre that had nothing to do with war would be to cover up some of the things that are almost known. Thousands of people here, who have seen or heard, have wiped out the power of a certain person.
