Chapter 422 Forced Breakthrough
As the black fox made of pig iron slowly lowered its head under my palm, the glass-like object on the wall slowly moved open like a sliding door.
Tao Xiyu took two quick steps and tapped a few times on the glass with a knife: "This is really glass?
"Maybe. "I still have some understanding of glass, the earliest glass products appeared in Egypt more than 4,000 years ago, and the country began to appear glass from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, that is, the earliest glass. However, the transparency of the glass is not up to the level of modern technology.
I knocked on the glass and said, "You know the Warring States Crystal Cup, right? You can make a crystal cup during the Warring States period, why can't you make translucent glass, maybe it's another lost secret here." ”
In 1990, Shitang Village, Banshan Town, Hangzhou City, unearthed a crystal cup of the Warring States Period, its casting and polishing process is comparable to modern technology, is listed as a national cultural relic, the owner of the crystal cup has not been conclusive, and the academic community believes that the owner of the crystal cup is likely to be an official of the Chu State.
"But ......" Tao Xiyu still couldn't believe that the glass on the wall was from Wu Guo's hand, but I didn't argue with her anymore, and stepped out directly through the gap in the wall.
I was waiting to see the scene behind the tomb when a fishy air swept from the side of the black fox. Standing behind me, Ye Xun slammed the black fox's chin with the scabbard, and quickly withdrew his hand.
The black fox's head was pulled back into place, the glazed gate in front of us began to close slowly, but the bloody wind rolling in the tomb became more and more urgent, I raised my hand to signal Tao Xiyu and Xia to retreat lightly, and Ye Xun and I hid on both sides of the glazed door at the same time.
As soon as the two of us stood firmly, the glass door was completely closed next to us, and the next moment, I clearly felt something pressing on the glass door, like a sharp blade cutting through the glass The piercing sound suddenly rose, Ye Xun and I held our breath at the same time and clenched our weapons.
However, the things behind the tomb seemed to be attached to the door, and it remained motionless for a long time.
I quietly gestured to Ye Xun, Ye Xun took out a mirror from his bag and quietly threw it at me, I gently held the mirror on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the glass door.
Soon a figure appeared in the mirror.
The transparency of the glass door was so low that I could only see a humanoid silhouette, and the other party was motionless against the door, not knowing what he was doing. After a long time, the black shadow suddenly disappeared without a sound on the door.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard the sound of the black fox bowing its head, and my heart suddenly rose, and I grabbed Magnum next to me with both hands, and raised the gun to the same position as my eyebrows.
Ye Xun pressed the bloody eyes and slowly backed the long knife, holding the handle of the knife with both hands at the same time, ready to slash the opponent's knees.
As we got ready to go, pungent blood poured out from behind the tomb, but there was no one in front of us.
Although I couldn't see the inside of the door, I could feel that someone was standing proudly inside the glass door with his hands behind his back, staring ahead and not moving. Perhaps, he has already felt the existence of me and Ye Xun, but he has not taken the two of us in his eyes at all, because the two of us are not as important as the wall on the other side in his eyes.
Time passed quickly second by second, and the figure hidden behind the glass door did not seem to have any intention of coming out, and after only a few seconds of standing, the glass door closed again, and the fishy smell that permeated the tomb drifted away.
Ye Xun and I looked at each other for a long time before slowly putting away our posture.
Although I didn't fight the man, I felt like my whole body was collapsed, and I just wanted to sit on the ground and breathe, even if the man did it again, I didn't plan to stand up and confront him again.
Although Ye Xun didn't sit on the ground panting like me, he also leaned against the wall with a long knife: "What was that just now?"
"I don't know!" I gasped, "It's scary......"
When the two of us were still apprehensive, Xia Qingqing took the flint from somewhere, and slashed it on the wall of our opponent, and the moment the dazzling sparks burst out from the wall, there was an extra mural on the originally empty wall that looked like it was painted with charcoal.
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "Where did you get the flint, how do you know that the paintings on the wall need to use flint?"
Xia Qingqing shook his head and said: "I picked up the flint from the ground, I don't know, what's going on, I just want to take the flint and scratch it on the wall, like this......"
Xia Qingqing took the flint and slashed it on the wall again, and the angular flint instantly brought a spark nearly a meter long on the wall.
According to common sense, the flint should be fleeting, but the fire on the wall flashed like fireworks for a few seconds, and the picture on the wall became clearer and clearer.
When Ye Xun stared at Xia Qingqing, my eyes fell on the mural, which clearly depicted a girl killing herself with a horizontal sword, but there was an extra hand on the hilt of the girl's sword, and the owner of that arm should be standing behind the girl, helping her hold the long sword and cut her neck.
The mural on the wall soon changed, and he wanted to kill the girl, but at the last moment, he changed his position, turned the horizontal stab into a straight stab, and stabbed the sword into the girl's chest.
I stood up and walked over to the mural and gently touched it twice: "This girl is Princess Katsuyu." She didn't kill herself, she killed him. ”
"If you look at the second picture, the girl's arms are obviously out of proportion to her body, and the blade of the sword is slightly tilted downward. Explain that there was a man taller than the girl who stood behind her and stabbed her in the chest. The legend of the burial of 10,000 people back then has no hidden meaning!"
I said in a deep voice: "In my impression, King Wu Lu is also a generation of heroes, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break through the capital of Chu and almost destroy Chu." How could such a monarch send the people of Wu to the tomb at will? Besides, the place where the incident occurred was still near the capital of the Wu Kingdom, was he not afraid of losing the support of the people?"
I pointed to the mural and said, "If the person in this painting is Princess Katsuyu, then there can only be one explanation. King Wu forcibly buried the people, in fact, he was avenging Shengyu. ”
At that time, He Lu should have used some method to make the murderer feel that Shengyu was not dead, and wanted to mix in the funeral procession to see what was going on, but He Lu didn't know who the real murderer was, and trapped tens of thousands of people in the tomb. ”
Tao Xiyu said softly: "Is this possible? This is too crazy. ”
I ran my hand across the mural on the wall: "Whether my guess is true or not, I have to find Shengyu's coffin to know." ”
I turned to the glass gate and said, "The place where we blew up just now is not too far from the black fox, if we move to the side a little more, maybe we can blow up the black fox." We ran all the way and saw a total of three foxes, that is, four black foxes guarding the four directions of the tomb. ”
I said in a deep voice: "The square tomb, the black fox guarding the gate on all sides, I think, the tomb is like a square city, and the city gate should be behind the fox." Shall we try to blow up the wall behind the fox?"
Ye Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "Wang Huan, don't you think that the things that came out of the blood mud are trying to force us into the tomb?"
"I've thought about it!" I said solemnly, "but at this point, can we not go inside? ”
As I was talking, Xia Qingqing suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Wang Huan, do you hear that there is movement behind the wall? I mean, the wall behind the mural?"
I had been talking just now, and I hadn't paid attention to the movement behind the wall at all, and as soon as Xia Qingqing reminded me, I immediately noticed the abnormality behind the wall.
"You guys stand back!" I pushed Xia Qingqing away, and put my ear against the wall, and there was a sound from behind the stone wall like the tip of a sword cutting against the wall, and at first glance it sounded like someone was slowly slashing against the wall with a long sword.
As soon as I caught the direction of the blade's movement, I heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the wall, and it slammed into my direction, and I only turned my head slightly, and the bronze sword that pierced through the stone wall stabbed half a foot out of the wall close to my cheek.
"Open the door!" I roared and took half a step back, pulling out the contempt and stabbing it backwards into the wall, instantly disappearing into the stone wall.
I distinctly felt that the Heaven's Blade had been blocked twice in a row, indicating that my sword had pierced not only the wall, but also the swordsman behind the wall.
I stepped back quickly between draws, and the sound of my sword breaking through the wall exploded with my steps.
In just an instant, dozens of bronze long swords broke through the wall, and the blades of a palm's width were neatly lined up in a straight line on the wall at the same height.
The stone powder covering the sword body spilled along the sword, but the cold light on the blade of the sword burst out with the light, and the entire row of long swords sank with all their strength almost at the same moment, opening cracks in the wall.
When the stone dust on the wall flew with the sword, Ye Xun also opened the glass door behind me: "Come in!"
"Go back!" I was going to bypass the tomb and rush to the location of the next black fox, but I didn't expect that the place we had just run over had been completely sealed by a stone gate.
We had no way forward but to go, but the monster that emerged from the blood and mud must have rushed to the other side of the graveyard, and we would have been chasing him any further.
"Blow up the wall, quick!" I simply fell to the ground by all the explosives in the backpack, and when Ye Xun and Tao Xiyu installed explosives on the wall together, there was a loud noise outside the glass door.
The hundred-meter-long wall collapsed in the middle of the tomb, and although I was separated by a glass door, I could also see a row of figures two meters high, stepping out of the wall with a long sword.
Dozens of swordsmen marched in unison, step by step, and the footsteps were like drumbeats, and the sound was deafening, and the entire tomb trembled in the footsteps of the swordsmen.
I also held my breath for a split second.
