96. Golden Holy Dragon
The hole in the pit was originally covered by a cement slab, and judging by this situation, it is obvious that the people of the Zhen'an Association specially made it for this purpose.
Ming Ke originally wanted to shout at everyone to lift it together, but Chi Chuan didn't bother to do it, touched the back of Yo You's head through the big flower hat, and then pointed to the cement slab.
The little girl also understood.
Boom!
She kicked the soles of her feet in small leather shoes, and the huge cement slab suddenly slipped out, and a thick smell of blood rushed towards her.
There was still a dusk light spilling out from below, but the light was very low, almost only reaching the bottom layer of the pit, not the entire area.
I think the light or flashlight fell to the ground.
On the side of the half-mattress pit, there was a long wooden ladder that went down to the thin layer of light, which should be five or six cables long, and there was a dark shadow.
Syllable!
Several rays of light shine at the same time, drooping from top to bottom.
Unsurprisingly, they were two bodies in black robes lying together, but the angle was not good enough to find out how they were killed, and only the yellow mud at the bottom of the pit could be seen soaked in blood and turned dark red.
It's just a pit, and there's obviously a passage at the bottom that leads to the side, and it's from inside that the light comes from.
"In this case, I will go down first, and if there is no problem, you will come down. β
After Ming Ke left the next sentence, without waiting for everyone to respond, he held a strong flashlight with a black plastic shell in his left hand and a Swig pistol in his right hand, and slowly descended in a posture with his back to the wooden ladder.
After a while, he used his strength to avoid the two corpses and landed in the pit.
The bottom is larger, as observed just now, and there is a dark and deep passage on the right side of the pit that is supported by planks and stakes.
Two flashlights fell from the floor of the passage.
Ming Ke raised the strong flashlight and shone it over, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, the passage was not horizontal, but slowly downward, and it seemed to be very long.
On the ground as far as the eye could see, two more black-robed corpses were found.
He looked around carefully to make sure there was no danger and no strange gushing out of the deep passage, and then crouched down and looked at the two corpses at his feet.
"How's it going?" a voice came overhead.
"It's all penetrating wounds, one chest is penetrated, one neck is pierced, the wound is not small, you can exclude arrows and cold weapons, there is a tearing feeling next to it, and it is not like an ordinary knife, it is difficult to determine what you died of. Mingke replied.
"Could it be an animal?" Ikekawa asked.
"It's hard to say. Ming Ke frowned and said, "If it has some kind of blade-like claws, it's not impossible." β
"We're down. β
"Be careful, there is a passage inside, it's not good to walk together, you have to line up, let Lao Hu, Xiaodong and Qi Nan walk behind. β
"Understood. β
Immediately, the group climbed down the wooden stairs one after another.
Chi Chuan took the lead, Yo You followed behind, the third was An Qin, and then Lao Hu, who was slightly distanced, and then Yedong, behind the Qi Nan Palace.
In order to make room for a foothold, Ming Ke had already entered the passage first, and checked the other two corpses on the ground, the cause of death was the same, all of them were penetrating wounds, and one blow was fatal.
"Let's go. β
At this time, the others also followed, and after Ikekawa understood the situation, he stood in a line with him, holding a handful of Mret-P41 in his hand.
The passage isn't spacious, but it's okay to accommodate two people side by side.
Mingke nodded, and was about to continue walking when a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Wait. β
Qi Nan took out a few small medicine bottles similar to penicillin bottles from the small black satchel he carried with him and handed them over.
"Take a bottle per person, this place is so narrow, I'm afraid that it will be really dangerous later, it's not easy to do, so I drink it immediately after I get hurt. β
The small transparent glass bottle contained a milky white liquid, and everyone's expressions looked a little strange except for Lao Hu and Yo You.
Qi Nan was annoyed and said angrily: "Don't forget it. β
"Yes!"
How could you not want to, this is a good lifesaver.
Everyone took one, and even Yo Yo, Chi Chuan put a bottle in Mickey Mouse's small satchel for her, and gave her a few words.
"Xiaodong, what's this?" asked Lao Hu in a whisper.
"Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid, it can save your life at a critical time. Ye Dong also whispered back.
"What the hell? I didn't even know that Qi Nan could make medicine. β
"I don't need to do this. β
Facing Lao Hu's expression of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, Ye Dong couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while, knowing that someone was behind them, "Uncle, don't ask, I can only tell you that in addition to being able to save your life, it must not be difficult to drink, that's all." β
"Xiaodong, you have itchy skin, right? "There's a devil's claw coming from behind you.
Ye Dong's ears were twisted, he bared his teeth in pain, and glanced at Lao Hu rather complainingly.
It made Lao Hu more and more confused.
With the small medicine bottle by his side, everyone was noticeably bolder, and they sped up and moved forward - the taste of the underground was really not very good.
In addition to the blood, there is also the smell of urine, presumably when the people of the Zhen'an Association dig here, it is not very convenient to get out, and they can't hold it back for a while, so they will solve it directly.
This passage was longer than everyone imagined, and it didn't come to an end after walking for a minute, and God knows how long the people of the True Ann Society had been gouging.
Again, they found several bodies.
There was a rotten smell in the air, like the smell of an old house that had been abandoned for a decade or two and reopened.
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the Zhen'an Association had probed the Tao first and proved that they would not be poisoned, Chikawa would really have the urge to ask Brother Qiang to throw a few gas masks over.
It smells so bad.
The surrounding terrain suddenly opened up, and Ikekawa and Mingke, who were walking in the front, stopped at the same time, and Yoyo, who followed closely behind, jumped up and stomped her feet, as if shaking off the damp soil that had soiled her pretty little leather shoes, and made a crisp thump soundβ
A stone path appeared underfoot.
That's right, the slates, not the natural rock formations, are very flat.
Several flashlights were fired at different locations.
I saw that there were long strips of dark stone bricks on the ground, covering a large area, and after extending into the corners, they began to rise vertically, forming a wall, and above there was a dome, a standard round cover.
They enter a space, resembling a small square.
But it was located underground, which made everyone present wonder.
The strong light beams in Chi Chuan and Ming Ke's hands were all hit in front of them, and there was an equally dark stone door, which looked thick and ancient, but at this moment it was not on the same level as the wall next to it, and it was tilted inward at an angle, and it was pushed open a gap that was enough for one person to pass.
"Underground palace?" Ye Dong couldn't help but think of some scenes from the comics.
Qi Nan accosted: "How can there be such a shabby palace, I think it is more like a tomb." β
Everyone looked at each other.
Ikekawa didn't say a word, holding a submachine gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and stood in place and circled.
This space covers an area of about sixty or seventy square meters, about six meters high, with black floor tiles, black walls, and black domes.
He also felt that it should be the entrance to a tomb.
However, I always feel that there is something wrong.
Judging from this entrance alone, the owner of the tomb should have some identity, and he now has some understanding of the folklore and culture of this world.
The entrance to a tomb in such a scene must not be carefully carved?
But everything in front of me is a little too simple, not to mention the relief, there are flat whiteboards everywhere, and there is not even a single handwriting.
"Is this normal?" he looked sideways at Lao Hu and raised his hand to make a circle around his head.
"It's not normal. Lao Hu said in a deep voice.
"Oh?
"This is a tomb, but I'm a frequent traveler, and I've been to many mausoleums, and I've never seen anyone use black stone bricks in their graves. β
Lao Hu explained: "From the perspective of Feng Shui, black represents ominous, and the tomb is a place of darkness, and the two collide...... Unless the descendants of the tomb owner are brain-dead, or hate him to the core, and don't want him to be buried in the ground, they will do this. β
Even Ming Ke nodded in agreement, "Indeed, although I don't believe in these things, funeral burials have a set of rules handed down by their ancestors, which is also considered a folk custom, and they must be obeyed, I have never seen anyone make the cemetery look like this." β
"It's not haunted, is it?" asked Noto in a trembling voice.
"Have you ever seen a ghost?" Minke asked rhetorically.
Yedong shook his head.
Mingke shrugged and said, "I don't believe there are ghosts in this world. β
Ikekawa has reservations.
He didn't think it was strange what was going on in the world now.
He tightened the Mret-P41 in his hand, he didn't know if the ghost was afraid of the gun, and he also thought about asking Brother Qiang to throw a peachwood sword like Uncle Jiu over, but after all, he thought that it was a movie, and the credibility was not high.
At least one thing is known now, there is a dangerous use of physical attacks, and I think guns should still be effective.
"Let's go, it's all here, we have to take a look. He pointed his gun at the half-hidden dark stone door.
In his heart, he still thinks about the treasures in the mouths of the True Ann Society.
Mingke nodded, did not speak, held a flashlight in his left hand in front of his forehead on the same side, and held a Sweig pistol in his right hand to lift it in front of him, pacing towards the stone gate.
Everyone followed closely through the stone gate one by one, but suddenly found that the person in front of them had not moved.
"It's a grave, but it's ......"
From the front, Minke's deep tone came from the front.
Ikekawa quickly understood what he wanted to say - though, it was too weird!
It's also impressive!
This is a burial chamber, several times larger than the small square outside, the main tone is also a deep black, the terrain is slightly lower, behind the stone gate is a flight of steps, below is a larger square, all around is empty, except for the middle area.
Under the strong light, there was a golden light, there was a square black stone platform, about five cords on each side, and on each of its four sides, there was a huge and hideous claw, all of which was gold.
The claws are owned by four behemoths of identical shape, at least seven cords tall and more than ten cords long.
They have a lion-like body, a pair of huge wings with barbs, a slender triangular head, a huge mouth full of sharp fangs, and the claws of four birds.
"Golden Holy Dragon?!" Lao Hu exclaimed.
"That's right. Ming Ke accosted: "It is indeed the legendary golden holy dragon statue, full of four heads. β
"This ......" Qi Nan was both shocked and puzzled, "Isn't this the imperial mausoleum?"
From ancient times to the present, the Golden Sacred Dragon has always been synonymous with power and prestige, and a symbol of the imperial family.
This is almost a well-known thing.
"Probably so. Old Hu frowned.
It's just that the deep black around it is in stark contrast to these four brilliant golds, full of weirdness.
How could the mausoleum of the royal family be so arranged, besides, it was unreasonable to see any funeral items around.
Only Chikawa smiled at the moment.
Four-headed golden dragon?
What a windfall!
"Let's go, go over and see. β
"Beware of the traps. Mingke reminded.
Although Chi Chuan nodded, he didn't pay much attention to it, there were three corpses lying on the ground, and there was another one on the square platform, if there was really any mechanism, the people of the Zhen'an Society had already waded for them.
His main purpose with a gun is to be a sneaky man who can move and kill.
There was no danger along the way, and they approached the dark Sifang platform.
The stone platform was not very high, and when it came to his neck, he raised his hand and touched the huge claw that was buckled to the edge of the stone platform in front of himβ
Hey?
It's not quite right.
