Chapter 364: Stones and Mechanisms

After Chen Zhengqian repelled the mutant bats, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The passage of the ancient tomb is narrow and long, and it is strange that it does not know where it leads to the underground. It stands to reason that after walking for so long, it should come to an end.

I haven't heard of anyone burying their tomb dozens of meters underground, maybe because he hasn't entered other ancient tombs. But then again, the ancient construction technology was so developed, and it was extraordinary that a mere last general could build a mausoleum dozens of meters deep underground.

There was a lot of bat droppings on the ground, and it was disgusting. Chen Zhengqian covered his nose so as not to vomit out dinner.

Holding a flashlight in one hand, illuminating the way forward, and holding a wolf's tooth knife in the other, in case there is any danger. In addition, there is a divine fire fan in his waist, which can be supported at any time, and then slowly walks on this disgusting thing. encountered a lone mutant bat, and was also stabbed by Chen Zhengqian.

If these mutant bats run outside, it is estimated that they will cause even more chaos, so they can simply kill them all, which is not a good thing anyway.

As I walked, I felt like I had stepped on something.

Chen Zhengqian moved his foot and lowered his head, and there seemed to be a thumb-sized stone under the footprint. When the light shines on, it actually reflects a little starlight.

"Huh?" Chen Zhengqian was curious, so he pulled out the small stone with the tip of the knife, picked the small stone on the knife surface, and took a closer look.

I thought it was just an ordinary small stone, but when the light of the flashlight hit it, the small stone immediately showed unusual signs. A translucent unknown material, not like a natural crystal, let alone a metal, what could it be?

Chen Zhengqian seemed to feel a trace of a stronger aura than the surrounding evil qi.

Could it be that this thing can absorb evil energy?

Chen Zhengqian was puzzled, but it was not surprising that no one had been to this kind of place for hundreds of years, so it was hard to say that there would be no strange treasures.

Put it away first and throw it into the bag, it won't take up much space anyway.

Keep walking.

In a short distance, Chen Zhengqian killed a lot of mutant bats, and by the way, he picked up five or six similar small stones, each of which had the same breath. The largest of them is the size of a baby's fist, and the evil aura inside is the strongest. It is estimated that the evil qi contained in this thing is also related to the shape and size, and the larger the stone, the richer the evil qi contained in it.

As for the specific use of these pebbles, Chen Zhengqian has not discovered it yet, and it is not too late to go back and study it slowly.

At some point, there was no trace of mutated bats in the corridor, and the stench under his feet disappeared, turning into a flat, hard, dry earth, and the corridor seemed to have widened a lot.

Chen Zhengqian tried to stand up, and found that he could walk upright in this corridor as long as he lowered his head and did not straighten his waist. It is estimated to be one meter seven high, and the width on both sides is about one meter, which is indeed much more empty than the road that needs to be half-squatted at the beginning.

The lights shine on the walls on both sides, and the traces of artificial carving on them are even more obvious, and there are even many murals. Most of the content of the murals is based on the theme of military warfare. The people on the mural are obviously divided into two factions, one is the pigtail army and the other is the Ming army. Both sides love and kill each other, from beginning to end.

Chen Zhengqian started with the first mural and saw the last one, and these murals were connected to form a long story. Probably the owner of the tomb, the general followed the Southern Ming court to resist the Qing Dynasty, and made great achievements in the early stage, but in the later stage, he was defeated and retreated all the way to Hecheng. In the end, there was no way out, so I had to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and I was depressed for the rest of my life.

In so many murals, this general, who has not even appeared by name, probably feels that he has no face to face the Southern Ming Dynasty and the ancestors and ancestors.

Chen Zhengqian sighed, who doesn't have a time when he can't help himself, ups and downs, in the end, everyone is the same, annihilated in the dust of history, and no one is nobler than whom.

After the mural, at the end of the road, a door, a stone door, appeared. It was bare, and there were no hints or signs, and if you wanted to move on, you had to push open the stone gate.

Chen Zhengqian stood still in front of the door, hesitating, whether to push it open or not, and what would be waiting for him behind the door.

None of this is known.

After thinking for a while, Chen Zhengqian stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the stone door, and held the wolf tooth knife tightly with the other hand in order to deal with various emergencies.

"Boom-"

With a muffled sound, the stone gate just pushed open a crack in the door, and rows of sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the corridors on both sides. Even after hundreds of years, the arrows have long since rusted, but the speed is still fierce. If you stab the human body, the damage is no worse than when it was brand new, especially the rusty arrow, who knows if there are any strange bacteria in it.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be really finished, and at such a speed, there would be no time to react. Fortunately, Chen Zhengqian reacted quickly and decisively retreated, just avoiding the attack range of the sharp arrow.

A sharp arrow on the far side grazed Chen Zhengqian's nose and flew in front of him, almost scratching the skin.

After standing still, looking at the sharp arrows on both sides, deeply embedded in the hard mud wall, Chen Zhengqian broke out in a cold sweat. it, fortunately, I dodged fast enough, and I almost got GG.

I don't know what the general's intentions are, he is ruthless enough to get so many traps in the tomb when he is dead. As for why these organs can still be used after hundreds of years, Chen Zhengqian doesn't understand.

I always feel that this ancient tomb reveals a strange atmosphere everywhere. Ordinary people's tombs, where can there be such a thing as a crossbow and arrow mechanism!

After making sure that there were no more poisonous arrows, Chen Zhengqian dared to approach the stone gate again and pushed the stone gate open.

Suddenly, a wave of turbid air rushed to his face, as well as a burst of dust. Fortunately, Chen Zhengqian prepared in advance, covered his mouth and nose, and stepped aside.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, Chen Zhengqian finally saw what was behind the stone gate clearly. But after seeing it clearly, the whole person was stunned.

Behind the door is a ten-square-meter stone chamber, not really the main burial chamber, perhaps a burial pit. Inside the stone room were two huge humanoid stone statues, at least two meters tall, wearing heavy armor and holding giant swords, but with no facial features. Other than that, there is nothing else.

Behind the statue, there is also a stone door.

This stone door is more delicate than the one just now, and there are a lot of peculiar patterns carved on it, which is simple and unreal, but it gives people a mysterious feeling.

Chen Zhengqian's gaze fell on the two huge stone statues, and he felt that something was wrong.

"This is the Tomb Beast?"
