You may only know the answer by entering the tomb!" Chen Zhan was beside Hu Gang, looking at the map and said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hu Gang had a certain idea and said, "Then let's go into the ancient tomb now!"
Ye Hai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Xiaohua, how much did you and your master explore this ancient tomb last time?"
"I didn't explore much, and I only entered three burial chambers, and I came across those zongzi!" Huaan shook his head.
"That is, I basically don't know anything about the situation in the ancient tomb, we have all been on the road for a day, and we need to rest in our physical strength and energy, there are many crises in this ancient tomb, go to the ancient tomb now, and it is inevitable that we will be distracted when dealing with danger, we should rest and stop for a while, and keep our spirits in the ancient tomb." Ye Hai made a suggestion.
"Okay, it's almost eight o'clock now, then we'll rest for five hours before we go into the tomb." Chen Zhan did not object, agreed to Ye Hai's suggestion, and looked at the time of his watch.
The four of them cut some branches from the nearby trees, but they didn't dare to enter the woods, who knew if the ghost snake vines were still there, they lit a bonfire, and the four of them spread some dry leaves on the ground, sat on the ground, and roasted the bonfire to keep warm.
The firelight shone on the bodies of the four people, and suddenly dispersed the humidity and chill of the night, making the whole body warm, and the mood couldn't help relaxing, Hu Gang looked at the small grave bag while eating dry food, and said: "How can there be a grave bag here, who buried people here?"
"Brother Hu, that's not a tomb bag, it's the soil that my master and I brought out to enter the ancient tomb and steal the hole." Huaan explained.
"I see." Hu Gang and Chen Zhan Yehai didn't know much about tomb robbing.
After eating and drinking, the four of them filled some wood into the bonfire, and the four of them sat on the ground around the bonfire and slept, for the possible danger, Chen Zhan didn't have to worry, there were himself and Hu Gang Ye Hai here, there was danger around, someone among the three must be able to detect it at the first time, Hua An saw that Chen Zhan and the three of them closed their eyes and went to sleep, and they also put their minds to rest, along the way, Hua An also saw the methods of Chen Zhan and the three of them, and knew that the three of them were not simple.
The moon moved quietly in the night sky, and time passed little by little, only Ye Hai woke up when the bonfire was about to burn out, and added some wood to the bonfire to ensure that the bonfire would not be extinguished.
At half past one in the middle of the night, Chen Zhan and Ye Haihu just woke up and woke up Hua An, who was still sleeping, and several people prepared their things, took out the miner's hat from their bags and put it on their heads, this miner's lamp hat is made of special metal materials, and a lamp is installed on it, which is relatively bright and can last for eighteen to twenty-four hours.
Bring on the miner's lamp hat and enter the ancient tomb, if any small stone falls and accidentally hits the head, it can also protect the heads and brains of Chen Zhan and the four people from being injured, and after extinguishing the bonfire, they are ready to enter the ancient tomb.
The entrance of the thief cave is only fifty centimeters wide, and the four people carrying bags on their backs must not be able to enter, Hua'an took out the sapper shovel, and soon expanded the width of the hole to one meter wide, from the light on the miner's hat, he saw that the width of the thief hole was a little wider at the entrance of the hole, it seems that the reason for the shrinkage of the hole should be that the mound of soil slowly slipped down to slowly cover the hole.
Hua'an laid a very deep wooden stake at the entrance of the robbery hole, then tied a rope on the stake, and threw the other end of the rope into the robbery hole, Hua'an was the first to take the lead and went down to the robbery hole, followed by Ye Hai, Chen Zhan, and finally Hu Gang, Hua'an and his masters played this robbery hole before is an oblique robbery hole, the four people pulled the rope, walked for about five or six minutes, and arrived at the end of the robbery hole, at the end of the underground is suspended, Hua'an slowly slid down the rope, and the mining lamp on Hua'an's head illuminated the surrounding environment, It turned out to be a burial chamber.
Chen Zhan and the three of them also went down to the tomb in turn, Chen Zhan found that there were a lot of bricks on the ground, looked up, in the place where he came down, it turned out that it was the top of the tomb, which was opened by Hua'an They didn't know how to use before, Chen Zhan looked around at this tomb, this is a square tomb, there is no coffin in the tomb, it is a tomb chamber with a stack of burial goods, and there are various clay pots and porcelain around the tomb, as well as a few pieces of bronze.
Hu Gang looked at the burial goods in the tomb and said, "This tomb owner is a little poor, just such a little thing!" The number and workmanship of the funerary goods here are somewhat poor. If you are a general, a prince, or a rich lord, you should put more gold, silver, and jade in the tomb when you are buried. However, most of the burial goods here are clay pots, porcelain, and bronze ware, and there is not even a gold one.
"Brother Hu, this is just a partial room of the ancient tomb, that's why there are so little things, there may be a lot of things in the main tomb, my master and I went to the main tomb at the beginning, and we didn't want anything here!" Huaan explained.
Chen Zhan joked to Hu Gang: "Hey, old Hu, we are not here to rob the tomb, why do you remember the Ming weapon in this ancient tomb."
"That's all I said!"
"Okay, no kidding, since we have come to the ancient tomb now, this ancient tomb is very dangerous, let's cheer up, and now prepare the guys, so as not to encounter danger!" Ye Hai said to Chen Zhan and the two.
Hu Gang took out a gossip compass from the bag prepared by the three of them, and took it in his hand, Chen Zhan took out a bronze mirror, while Ye Hai took a bronze short sword, although the bronze short sword was dull, but anyone who saw this bronze short sword had a hairy feeling, because there was a very heavy evil spirit on the bronze short sword, it seemed that this bronze short sword was not stained with blood, and it was a murder weapon.
Hua An pulled out a silver dagger from his waist, the dagger was engraved with strange patterns, this dagger was the dagger used by his master Wang Gang, after Wang Gang's death, Hua An put it away.
The door of this tomb has been opened, it was opened by Hua'an when they came before, Chen Zhan and the four of them walked out of this tomb and walked along the tomb road, Hu Gang saw Hua'an holding a clay pot in his hand, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaohua, what are you doing with this thing, it's not valuable, if you want to take it, you have to take those valuable ones."
Hua An said: "Brother Hu, it's useful for me to take this thing."
"What does it do?"
"You'll find out in a moment!"
Chen Zhan and the four came to the second burial chamber through the tomb, in addition to placing some worthless burial goods in this burial chamber, there are murals painted on the walls of the tomb, Chen Zhan looked at these murals, and found that they have faded in many places, it seems that after the tomb was opened, they entered the air, these murals produced a chemical reaction, and the content of the murals attracted the attention of Chen Zhan and the three people, the murals were unintentionally painted with a Taoist holding a sword, and there were many soldiers standing next to him, all of whom were holding weapons and were menacing. Opposite these soldiers was a demonic monster drawing, rushing towards the soldiers and Taoists.
"What is this? Who of you knows?" Hu Gang looked at the monster on the mural and asked, Chen Zhan, Ye Hai, Hua'an and the three could only shake their heads at this, and they didn't know what it was.
Hu Gang frowned and said, "We should bring an archaeologist here, so that we can know something!"
"It's dangerous here, bring a weakened archaeologist, maybe the archaeologist's life will be lost at some point." Ye Hai pursed his lips and said.
The four of them continued to move forward, and when they came to the third burial chamber, they saw five corpses lying on the ground in tattered clothes, seeing these five corpses, Hua An pointed to the corpses on the ground and said: "It was here that my master and my mother met the strange zongzi, it was the five of them, as soon as they died, the carrion on their bodies quickly melted away, and only these black bones remained!"
Chen Zhan walked in front of the bones, squatted down, picked up a piece of bones, took out a wolf tooth flashlight and looked at it carefully, the bones were black, like black gems, and the same as the black bones seen in the burial place in the Great Xing'an Mountains, Chen Zhan looked at the black bones and said with a solemn face: "Brother Ye, Lao Hu, this corpse is exactly the same as the one I saw in the burial place in the Great Xing'an Mountains, it is really related to the death demon qi here!"
Ye Hai and Hu Gang also picked up the black bones from the ground and looked at them carefully, Ye Hai also knocked the black bones with the back of the bronze short sword, and actually made a sound of hitting the stone, Ye Hai said: "This bone is very hard, since it has been determined, then we have to be more careful."
There is a backpack on the ground, it is Hua'an's master's backpack, Hua'an took out a small box from the backpack, put it in his pocket, and picked up the dragon-seeking ruler on the ground, Chen Zhan saw that in this tomb, there are five vertical sarcophagi on the wall, but the lid of the sarcophagus has already fallen to the ground, it seems that these five sarcophagi are the places where the five zongzi are stored, there is a stone platform, this stone platform is the place where the dragon ghost rune is stored, the four of them walked to the stone platform, and found that there were many runes engraved on the stone platform.
Chen Zhan said: "This is the Yang Gathering Array, it seems that it is to increase the effect of the dragon ghost talisman through Yang, and communicate more yang energy in the tomb to suppress something!"
"Could it be the monster we saw on the mural earlier!?" Hu Gang remembered the drawings on the mural.
"It should be, right?!" Chen Zhan said uncertainly, after all, he knew too few clues.
No other things or clues were found in this tomb, so Chen Zhan and the four of them opened the other closed tomb door of this tomb, and the four of them walked to the exit of the tomb and continued to move from the tomb to other tombs. He picked up a clay pot, used it as a pathfinder, and threw it into the tombway.
The passage of the tomb slowly became a little narrower, and only two people could pass through it at the same time, and the walls on both sides of the front were carved with all kinds of evil spirits with teeth and claws, as if they could crawl out of the walls at any time and tear the people who invaded the ancient tomb to pieces and devour them.
However, Chen Zhan and the three of them were not afraid of this, did not pause, and continued to walk forward, "Three brothers, you wait a minute!" This is Hua An suddenly said.
Chen Zhan and the three stopped, and Chen Zhan asked, "What, Xiaohua?"
"This place has become different from the previous tomb, let me try it first, so as not to have a mechanism." I saw Hua An holding the clay pot in his hand, rolling to the ground, and rolling towards the tomb in front of him, the clay pot rolled far away in the dark tomb, and there was nothing unusual in the tomb.
Hu Gang saw that nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, you are really careful, isn't this nothing?" Hearing Hu Gang say this, Hua An smiled a little embarrassed.
Ye Hai helped Hua An to relieve the siege and said: "Be careful, it's a common thing to hide a mechanism in the ancient tomb, Lao Hu, you use the compass to see if there is anything like iron hidden in those carvings!"
Hu Gang took the compass and walked to the carvings on the wall of the tomb, looked at the reaction of the compass in his hand, found that there was no movement, and said: "There is no iron metal or anything like that!"
Ye Hai asked Hu Gang to do this because he was worried that there were hidden weapons or something like that in the carving, once the four of them walked into it and triggered the mechanism, they didn't even have a chance to hide in such a narrow place, and the mechanism set up by the ancients in the ancient tomb was very ingenious, even if it was thousands of years later, it would not fail.
Since they found that there was no mechanism, Chen Zhan and the four of them continued to move along the tomb road.
