Chapter 176: Green Dragon Totem
Su Ling carefully observed this wall, it should not be difficult to imagine that the stone secret door or something, it is simply a necessary mechanism for the weird ancient tomb. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Generally speaking, if the mechanism is to be incorruptible for thousands of years, it must be fired with stone and mercury, and the trigger of the firing device must be a flat plate, and the walls are all carved stone slabs with inscriptions, and if there is a secret door, one of them must be able to move, but this one must be located in a very difficult place to be noticed.
According to this line of thought, Su Ling bent down and reached out to touch the position of the stone wall and the floor, the inscriptions carved on the stone wall were uneven, and the floor was also carefully polished, which showed the identity and status of the owner of the tomb. Sure enough, a square stone slab slightly to the right was very suspicious. She pressed it, but there was no response, but there were signs of loosening, and when she pressed it again, it still didn't respond, so she was a little hairy, and when she stood up, she kicked on it, and then she heard a grunt.
At that moment, Su Ling thought, no, it should be that all normal people with a little imagination think like this, the wall will flip inward and take her to the next door, or the wall will open like a door.
So when the floor under her feet suddenly emptied, Su Ling really didn't have any defense, and the whole person fell. Where is this design called a secret door, it's obviously a trap, okay! The brains of the people who designed this ancient tomb are also very large.
But the whole person has fallen, Su Ling secretly screamed that it is not good and may have to stop cooking, I don't know what it is down here, maybe it is a few steel knives with broken bones, or sharpened bamboos.
Between the lightning and flint, before Su Ling could finish thinking, he sat on the floor, and before he could rejoice that he did not fall to his death, or did not die under the sword and bamboo, the candlestick in his hand fell to the ground, the lamp oil flowed all over the ground, the flames were extinguished, and Su Ling suddenly fell into darkness.
People are very insecure in the dark, in this case, the candlestick is as important as Su Ling's life, if there is no light, in the ancient tomb where there is no light source at all, it is a dead end.
She hurriedly rushed over, trying to find the candle back, she remembered the position where the candlestick rolled down clearly, first touched the warm and hot wax oil, the candlestick should be in front, she casually touched forward, and suddenly touched a cold hand....
Chilling in his heart for three seconds, Su Ling shouted, subconsciously withdrew his hand, and touching something that he couldn't explain in the dark was the most annoying thing and the moment he touched that hand, Su Ling felt that the owner of this hand must have died, because of the cold and puffy skin, he couldn't feel a trace of anger.
Su Ling suddenly remembered that she still had some fire folds snatched from Xiong Jieba, and hurriedly opened one, and by the light of the fire, she finally saw that there was really a corpse lying in that place.
There was a big wound on his stomach, and there were many corpses around the wounds, each of which was the size of her palm, and obviously the sharpness of the big claws was not as sharp as those in the rain river cave, and the black and cyan corpses were gnawing on the man's carrion, shaking their heads from time to time, and even some small corpses crawled out of her mouth and eye holes.
Su Ling's stomach churned, and he only felt a burst of nausea, this person seemed to have been dead for about three or four days, and he should have been a victim of the previous tomb robbery team, thinking of this, Su Ling sensed that he also died here because he discovered this mechanism?
Then the matter is a big deal, she is busy lighting the candle by the light of the fire that is about to be extinguished, the butter candle is really not covered, the effect is different, the water has been blistered, it has fallen from a high altitude, it is still the same strong and durable.
With the light, Su Ling's heart was a little more steady, and he looked around, there was nothing in this place, it was very simple, it was a two-zhang square tomb, surrounded by irregular stone walls, there were many exhaust holes on the wall, and it was dark and faint I didn't know where to go, and from time to time I blew some cool breeze from those holes.
Su Ling glanced at the hideous corpse lying on the ground, and raised her eyebrows, what did she want to do? Hehe, the character of this female thief can be used by dead people.
So she immediately examined the body, it was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, his abdomen was torn, and it looked like a fatal injury. He was wearing a black tug-like exercise uniform, and his pockets were bulging. Su Ling drove away the corpses that were gnawing around the wounds, reached into the pocket of the man's clothes, took out a money bag, and weighed it should have three or four taels of silver.
It is said that ill-gotten wealth cannot be made, but Su Ling doesn't care, for her current state of financial constraints, it is best to come as much as she wants.
There was also a scribbled sketch of the tomb in her pocket, similar to the one she had in her hand, as well as two daggers and a few fire folds. These are all standing weapons, but I found something interesting in them.
――A piece of paper with a blue dragon circling.
The green dragon opened its teeth and danced its claws, soaring in pieces of auspicious clouds, with whiskers at the corners of its mouth, beads under its forehead, round eyes, and fierce momentum, as if it could really rise from the clouds on paper.
Su Ling frowned and looked at this piece of paper, and he couldn't study anything, so he put these "loot" into his pocket together, and planned to study them carefully after he went out.
The architectural style here is very similar to the royal nobles in ancient times, and it is a bit like an escape route, Su Ling thinks that it is unlikely that someone will repair the tomb on someone else's cemetery, and this may be the back road left by the tomb builder for himself.
In ancient times, if you participated in the construction of the tomb of the nobles, it was equivalent to a death sentence, once the tomb was completed, it was either poisoned or buried alive with the corpse, but the wisdom of the ancient working people could not be ignored, and most craftsmen would leave a secret passage for themselves in order to escape.
She swept the candle, and sure enough, she saw a small narrow door on the wall on one side, but it was still a certain height from the ground, and there was a wooden ladder underneath, which was almost rotten, and no matter how light she was, it was impossible not to fall if she stepped on it.
Su Ling squinted and measured, estimating the height, thanks to the training in the Spirit Village, this distance is quite acceptable, and the tallest plum blossom pile in the training ground is only like this.
At this moment, Su Ling suddenly caught a big face poking out of the dark corridor, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Bajie!" I'm here, how did you find mine?! ”
Xiong Jieba was also stunned, squinted his eyes and confirmed that it was Su Linghou, who also showed joy on his face, and corrected: "I happened to be passing by, and I didn't come to you on purpose." ”
Su Ling: "You can go." ”
Xiong Jieba was a little embarrassed, but the joy on his face gradually disappeared in the next second, and was replaced by surprise, as if he had seen something terrifying, his feet slipped, and he almost fell off the road.
