Preface 12 (1/2)
Meanwhile the fatty was squatting on the outer coffin lid, and when he vaguely noticed that the backside of the lid had sorabbed a brush to dust off the surface
The inscriptions were carved using cinnabar and could still be clearly distinguished even after thousands of years It seee was mixed into the cinnabar as well, because the inscriptions let off an abnormally sweet scent that caused those who smelt it to feel unsettled
”The sky is gray, the ground is vast, the dead return to yin, the living reside in yang, life has li11, death has villages, do not go further, or elseincur mutual destruction”
The glow froht swayed fro to and fro inside the toed
Meng Fuyao, as diligently working on the inner coffin, casually inquired without raising her head: ”Oh, it's a Han dynasty style epitaph But that last part was a little strange, could you repeat it?”
The fatty gulped and opened his , out of the corner of his eye he noticed one of the extinguished candlesticks In that ht
”So!”12
”Your Granddaddy's wrong13! What do you think we are, hed and rebuked the fatty at the sa position
”Boom!”
Suddenly, a tre the entire cha 7 or 8 people who couldn'ttu sound caiant who had the power to split the heavens and earth storound pro in the heavy stone coffin sliding across the ground and explosively i the wall At the southwest corner of the to fist-sized holes in the floor Several people covered their heads and frantically rolled on the ground trying to escape, with the fatty a them; unfortunately, the fatty had a lot of meat but wasnot very quick He rolled a little too slowly and was pinned down by the falling debris, causing hian to quickly increase in tempo
In the chaoticFuyao raised her head with difficulty She first grabbed the backpack that slid next to her and raised it above her head for protection, then authoritatively yelled, ”It's probably a landslide! There's been heavy rain recently! Evacuate! Immediately!”
Those taking cover on the floor near the tomb entrance rose their heads and half shouted, half wailed back, ”The entrance is blocked by rubble!”
”WTF is crying supposed to do!? Will crying open the entrance!?” Fuyao then proceeded to roll a few tiround littered with shattered stones, raise her head to peek at the ceiling, and holler, ”There's a bandit tunnel ahead! Escape this way!”
”That tunnel hasn't been fully excavated yet! It still has half a corpse in it!”
Meng Fuyao secured the backpack around her neck and leapt forward, atteht However, yet another heavy quake tripped her, and she went sprawling on the floor Accepting her fate, Fuyao decided to give up on standing Clenching her teeth, she grabbed a round and then rolled forward towards the bandit hole She raised the pick and started wildly s it towards the half-excavated tunnel
”Shua la la”, first a leg fell out, then blood and bits of corpse ca her! Despite the gory scene, Fuyao didn't even spare a glance
Next the rest of the corpse slid out of the newly expanded exit, pressing down and forcing Meng Fuyao to stand a little to the side The inco a trail of blood and debris as it rolled over to the southwestern corner of the room
Just as the body tuht behind it came the shriveled skull, which dropped onto Fuyao's sto ”Go! Stop obstructing my work!”
Finally, the last cluray soil in the bandit tunnel rained down, exposing a bit of daylight in front of Meng Fuyao's eyes Even though her face covered in dirt and ash, she still cracked a toothy grin
”Those who haven't died yet! Come with me! There's an exit!”
The tearabbed a hold of a one's collar behind her and tried to stuff him into the hole However, that person quickly tried to push away her hand
”You first!”
”Go!”
”You're a woman!”
”I'm the chief!”
The quaking sounds continued unabated, and the stone floor had already tilted into several right angles Only the ground near the bandit tunnel was still flat, but even that would soon change Even worse, there were still the elusive falling rocks that were sharp and quick like arrows
The stubborn kid was still clinging in front of the tunnel refusing to budge, wanting Fuyao to escape first no matter what However, chivalry at a ti Fuyao's eyes had al her teeth loudly, she gave the stubborn fool a hard slap to the face, hitting the gentleo first so hard that he saw stars and fell into a short daze
Taking advantage of this short period, Fuyao stuffed the guy into the tunnel, even giving hiood measure
