Chapter 293: Finally Entering the Tomb
Smack!
Ye Mingcheng patted the stone wall vigorously, and then looked back at Jiang Ming, "Solid, we can turn around." Bayi Chinese?? Net? β€οΌβ
Seeing his stupid appearance, Jiang Ming didn't bother to take care of him, and he didn't shoot TV, did he have to pat to know if Shibi was solid?
They had been entering the cemetery for almost an hour, but they had not gone far, because as they walked, there were stone walls blocking the way, as if they had walked into a dead end, and they could only go back and choose other intersections to continue looking for the road.
This ancient tomb, for the time being, has not encountered other dangers, that is, there are many forks at the intersection, and it is often encountered that "this road is not passable, please turn around".
Returning to the fork in the road he had just passed, Ye Mingcheng asked Gu Zhangbei, "Have you found the pattern? If we continue to walk like this, we can die of exhaustion." β
After using the car to detect, there is not much danger now, they left a few people outside to wait for help, and the others came in together, although they have not encountered danger, but this is like a labyrinth-like ancient tomb, which still makes people feel impatient.
"There is no law at all, just like the maze in the park, completely random and casual, the park is still good-looking, and this king is much more casual. Gu Zhangbei said helplessly.
I'm afraid of encountering this kind of master who doesn't pay attention to the rules and cultivates a lot, Feng Shui metaphysics is exquisite, and the tomb is more exquisite, if you encounter a person who is not exquisite, where to find the law?
"I kind of believe that this guy is wearing back from modern times, and the ancient people must not be so boring and naΓ―ve, and they still build a maze in the tomb to play. Ye Mingcheng complained.
"No matter how you fix it, it works, although it is simple to repair the maze, it can consume people's patience and make people feel impetuous enough. Yi Guanli put away the small abacus and sighed lightly, it was this kind of simple thing that made her useless what she had learned before.
"How about we catch a mouse and lead the way?" Meng Xiaopei came up with an idea, "It is said that this kind of maze cannot deceive the keen senses of animals." β
"It's a good idea, but where can I catch mice?" Zhou Qijin questioned.
In this ancient tomb, apart from them, there is no other breath of life, which is also the strange place of this ancient tomb, except for stones, there is no breath of other animals and plants.
"Is it okay for a little fox?" Meng Xiaopei looked at the little fox who was squatting on Murong Jianxin's shoulder.
"Little fox, can you?" Murong Jianxin also asked expectantly.
The raccoon shook its head like a rattle, indicating that it couldn't.
In fact, they don't know that although the appearance of the little fox is a cute little fox, it is not a real fox after all, but an alien lifeform from a high-tech planet, it is good at electronic machinery, and the induction of energy, as for the rest, not to mention compared with the fox, it is not much stronger than humans.
If this is a high-tech base built by modern people, it can go in and out of a no-man's land, but in the face of the stone pit dug by the ancients, it is useless to find it.
"It seems that you can only sell cute. Meng Xiaopei was slightly disappointed.
The little fox waved his little paw at her dissatisfied, as if to say: Don't slander me!
"This little guy is very cute and seems to understand people. Gao Han looked at the little fox, his eyes were full of love, and his pride was as sad as her, under the charm of the little fox.
There is no language on earth that I don't know! But the little fox only dares to think in his heart, and he does not dare to say it.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Mingcheng asked Jiang Ming.
Everyone is chatting hotly, just he doesn't say a word, where he looks east and west, pretends to be cold and plays deep, it's not good to be so detached from the people.
Jiang Ming didn't make an excuse immediately, but after looking at it for a while, he pointed to an intersection, "Let's try this way." β
"Are you sure this road can be passed?" Ye Mingcheng asked uncertainly.
"I'm talking about trying. Jiang Ming replied lightly.
That is, I am not sure!
"Just try it. "Anyway, there is no better way, Ye Mingcheng is not here for the things in the ancient tomb, Jiang Ming wants to do something, he just accompanies him.
After walking for seven or eight minutes, they saw a fork in the road that was similar to the one in front, and more than an hour had passed since they entered the tomb, and this was the third fork in the road they had found.
"How did you see that it was going through?" Yi Guanli asked curiously, even they couldn't determine the route, how did he find it?
Jiang Ming searched on the stone wall at the entrance of a cave, then pointed to a scratch and said, "Look here." β
The scratch was clearly artificially carved, and it looked so old that it would not be obvious if you didn't look closely.
The moment they saw the scratches, everyone could think that this must be a mark left by the forerunners, presumably for fear of getting lost in this labyrinth.
When others saw the scratch, they just regarded it as a mark and didn't think much about it, but Kun Bo stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and then patted the stone wall with his hand, and finally sighed, "It seems that this senior is a martial arts master, and if he can leave a sword mark on such a hard stone wall, whether it is strength or the long sword in his hand, he must be the best choice." β
Speaking of this, he glanced at Jiang Ming, "No wonder you can appear, they are all people who use swords, and it is not surprising that they have a sense in their hearts." β
Jiang Ming was silent and did not answer.
Ye Mingcheng saw that he didn't like this topic, so he pointed to the traces and asked, "Is it right to find a way with traces?"
Jiang Ming shook his head, "It's a path without a trace." β
This pioneer probably couldn't find the law of the labyrinth road, and in this messy labyrinth, he used the stupidest elimination method to try one road after another.
Marking it just means that the road has already been traveled and it doesn't work, so there's no need to take it a second time. If the road is going to be clear, there is no need to turn back and draw a mark.
In fact, although this labyrinth is huge, the method of cracking it is so simple that it is easy to look away from them - it is simple and naΓ―ve!
It's just that the method of cracking is simple, but it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and who can be sure that this is not another strategy?
The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade, with the scratch marks that pointed the way, and the next road was undoubtedly much smoother.
After walking for more than two hours, with two breaks in between, they finally walked out of the labyrinth and arrived in a large stone hall.
Standing in the hall, Jiang Ming said with some emotion, "Thirty-two forks, eight intersections for each fork, if you try them one by one, I don't know what year and month we have gone, we have taken advantage of that senior." β
This cannot be denied, because in those small forks in the road, it is not all the way smooth, but also forks in the forks, high and low, tortuous and difficult, if you have to go all over again, it is estimated that many people will go crazy.
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that senior is long gone, I would have invited him to drink two glasses. Ye Mingcheng replied.
The huge stone hall was empty, and I don't know if it was because King Cheng was poor and had nothing to put on, or if it was all emptied, and they had nothing else to do except rest and chat.
Eat something, take a break, after determining that there is only one exit from the stone hall, Jiang Ming is in front, Kun Bo is behind, and everyone rushes in.
The long tomb passage seems to be one of the characteristics of all ancient tombs. However, this tomb road is particularly distinctive, and the four-sided grid carved on the ground is like a pedestrian area on both sides of the modern highway, neat and simple, and the pattern of other ancient tombs is completely different.
The stone walls on both sides of the tomb should have been coated with a layer of white powder, but it is very old and there is not much left.
In addition, on both sides of the cemetery, every more than ten meters, there is a stone lamp, which is placed on both sides, which is similar to modern street lamps.
Is this really the tomb of the ancients more than 2,000 years ago? How does it look similar to the tunnels of Gao Laozhuang now? Gu Zhangbei and the others shook their heads again and again.
On the contrary, it was the first time that Ye Mingcheng and others went to the tomb, and they didn't feel so much, so they thought it was quite interesting.
And Jiang Ming didn't think about this kind of boring question, Murong Jianxin just felt that here, much simpler than the big tomb outside the Saiwai, but it was also much safer, at least along the way, they hadn't encountered any danger, unlike last time, one step at a time, life and death were sometimes only in an instant.
Safely passing through the tomb passage for hundreds of meters, they came to a stone hall again, which was no longer empty, but was full of stone figurines and several bronze chariots.
Seeing the stone man with a weapon in his hand, Murong Jianxin unconsciously leaned towards Jiang Ming's side, as if only by his side could she feel safe.
They did not rush to approach the stone figures, for there were many bones at their feet, and no one would act rashly until they were sure that they were safe.
In addition to the stone man bronze chariot in the stone hall, under the surrounding walls, there are also twenty copper chests, only one of which is open, inside is some gold and silver ornaments, plus two corpses lying on top - I don't know if they are killed because of the opening of the box.
Although those are antiques, let alone Ye Mingcheng, they can't even look down on Zhou Qijin, in their eyes, a few boxes of gold and silver jewelry are not as valuable as a copper chariot.
So everyone basically swept it aside, and then looked at other things, and by the way, looked for whether there was a mechanism.
And Jiang Ming was looking at those bones, he had the experience of fighting with the stone people, so he could see that these people did not die at the hands of the stone people, most of them were killed by the same kind.
Because some bones have scratches caused by sharp weapons, and some corpses have rusty bullets near them.
The two bones lying on the open copper box were most likely killed by poisoning, because the color of their bones was obviously wrong, and it seemed that these copper boxes could not be touched.
"A few people don't have it now, there doesn't seem to be a door here, are we in a dead end again?" For Ye Mingcheng, it doesn't matter whether it is treasures or the cause of death of those people, what he cares about is the way out, he doesn't want to get in, but he can't get out.
"The door is under the bronze chariot, and if you don't have anything else to do here, we can move on. Yi Guanli put away the small abacus and said.
