Chapter 562: Bronze Bridge Lock Suzaku (22)
Li Laosan walked to the thief cave and looked down, without the cover of the bluestone slab, the thief cave went straight to the tomb of the Qinglong general below, so it seemed very deep.
"GI, tie the rope and go to the grave!" Li Laosan shone a flashlight into the robbery hole, although he could see the bottom of the cave, but there was a depth of no less than ten meters, so he turned around and said to the GI. The soldier immediately turned back, picked up the rope that Shicai had taken out and placed on the ground, tied it to the big tree behind him, and then pulled another section to the edge of the robbery hole and threw it directly into the robbery hole.
"Old rule, I'll go down first, no problem, I'll shout, you guys come down again!" Li Laosan said to the soldier, who nodded and handed the rope he was holding in his hand to Li Laosan.
Li Laosan pulled the rope, walked to the edge of the robbery hole, jumped slightly, and the whole person went into the robbery hole, let the back slowly slide down the rope, and after a while, he reached the bottom of the cave and entered the general's tomb. His flashlight shone on it, and behind him was a dead end, with a long tomb in front of him, and solid black-gray stone walls on the left and right, just as he had seen in his dreams.
"Down!" Li Laosan looked at it for about half a minute, came back to his senses, raised his head and shouted to the ground. Then he felt that the rope in his hand moved, and after a while, the soldier entered the tomb, followed by Wei Haoran with a surprised face, and finally Qingfeng. However, Qingfeng did not slip in along the rope, but jumped down directly, but jumped down at such a high distance, and he fell silently into the tomb like a piece of paper.
"Let's go, pay attention to your step!" Li Laosan commanded, and then walked forward first. Wei Haoran walked in second, and the soldiers deliberately changed, letting the breeze go and walking at the rear. This is done first, because he has been at the end of the tomb with Li Laosan for many years, so he has developed a habit. The second is because he can't rest assured that Qingfeng can't be relieved, so he has to walk behind him and watch him, in case he plays any tricks to harm Li Laosan.
A group of four people walked slowly along the tomb road under the light of the flashlight, and Li Laosan only looked forward along the way, not squinting. And Wei Haoran, who was following him, was full of curiosity about everything in this tomb, either turning his head left and right to observe the stone walls on both sides, or looking down at the broken stone figurines on the ground.
"Third brother, why are there so many vermilion bird patterns carved on this wall, and why are there so many broken stone statues on the ground!" Halfway through, Wei Haoran finally couldn't help but ask.
Li Laosan glanced back at Wei Haoran, but did not answer his question, but said, "Don't talk!" and then continued to walk forward, Wei Haoran felt bored, and quickly shut up and stopped talking, and continued to make up the origin of the Vermilion Bird on the wall and the broken stone figurines on the ground in his mind.
Halfway through, Li Laosan suddenly stopped, walked to the wall on his left hand, and stunned at the wall. The three people behind him also immediately looked at the wall and saw a faint blood stain on the wall.
"Left back then?" Qingfeng saw Li Laosan looking at the blood stains on the wall in a daze, so he asked with interest.
"Hmm!let's go!" Li Laosan nodded, then turned around and continued to walk forward.
Seeing that Li Laosan was not far away to mention more, Qingfeng didn't ask any more, and just followed Li Laosan to continue to walk forward. After walking without saying a word for about a quarter of an hour, they came to the end of the tomb and saw a burial chamber with a closed door in front of them. This is different from the last time Li Laosan entered the tomb, and it is also different from what he saw in his dream. Li Laosan immediately cheered up and became vigilant.
After observing the stone gate from a distance of a few meters, Li Laosan walked over and walked to the edge of the stone gate, the flashlight boy took a careful look, and saw that a vermilion bird was carved in the center of the door, compared to the vermilion bird patterns on the stone wall of the tomb, the size of this vermilion bird was much larger, and it was also much more refined. There is also a protruding place in the center of the Suzaku pattern, which looks like a mechanism button. Li Laosan reached out and pressed the button, and then flashed to the side.
After the button was pressed, after about three counts, the stone door made a "click" sound, and then slowly opened, the entrance of the tomb appeared in front of the eyes of the four people, the door of the tomb is about two meters high, about one zhang wide, not magnificent, it should be just an inconsequential tomb.
After the door opened, Li Laosan waited for a while, threw a coin into the tomb, and made sure that there was no mechanism in the tomb before stepping inside. The GI and the others followed him closely and entered the tomb.
This burial chamber is not large, it is square, about five meters long and wide, and the burial chamber is empty. There is nothing but a stone statue more than three meters high in the center. Li Laosan walked over and found that the stone statue was carved with an old man with a goatee and low eyebrows. I don't know what it means, but I vaguely feel that this stone statue is a little weird. Looking at the three stone walls of the tomb except for the door, there are no longer carved red birds, but three identical human faces. Why are they exactly the same? Because they have only a pair of hollow eyes with no pupils, and no other organs.
"Don't look at those faces!" After Li Laosan looked at the statue, he found that Wei Haoran was looking intently at the face on the wall, and immediately opened his mouth to stop him. Because he knows that these strange patterns in ordinary ancient tombs often hide breathtaking mechanisms.
Being shouted by Li Laosan, Wei Haoran hurriedly withdrew his gaze and didn't dare to look at those faces again, quietly waiting for Li Laosan's next instructions.
"Soldier, go and light the lantern!" After instructing Wei Hao, Li Laosan turned his head and said to the soldier. The GI immediately took out the lantern from his bag and walked into the corner.
Qingfeng walked around the tomb, and he didn't know if he had touched some mechanism or something, but four torches suddenly lit up in the four corners of the tomb, illuminating the entire tomb in a bright light. It also gave them a clear view of the stone statue in the center of the tomb.
As Li Laosan saw before, the stone statue was an old man with a goatee, but his body was intertwined with two pythons covered with scales, until the neck merged into one and was connected to the head of the old man with a goatee. His hands are also two snakes, and even his ten fingers are small snakes.
Even if it was the first time Li Laosan had seen such a strange statue, he also had an inexplicable fear of it.
"This statue is really ugly!" At this moment, Wei Haoran suddenly opened his mouth again, probably because he couldn't help it.
