Chapter 096: The Smell of Human Flesh
Following the direction of Li Yan's finger, we saw that there were several lines of incomplete text at the end of the mural, and the person who wrote the words used a line of calligraphy, which made it more difficult for us to identify. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I have not studied this kind of ancient calligraphy, and I may still be able to recognize a little bit of the regular script in traditional Chinese characters, which is incomplete and incomplete, and I look like a book from heaven.
"The tomb I originally went down to, and the people sketched the life of the tomb owner, all of which were reliefs. This guy is unprofessional with pen and ink. Fang Ze began to scold after watching the meeting, and from Fang Ze he could only find the words "reverse" and "spirit".
"This person is elegant and handsome in his hand, like an iron hook straight painting, very Wang Xizhi's charm." Zhou Qin looked at it twice, and saw something from the font.
"Wang Xizhi?" Fang Ze and I both opened our mouths in shock. I said in my heart that Zhou Qin said that this tomb was from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and now there is a Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi is a figure of the Jin Dynasty, and it is five or six hundred years away from the Song Dynasty. With such a large time span, can we be reliable?
Zhou Qin saw Fang Ze's puzzled gaze and me, and smiled bitterly, it is not a simple matter to determine the year of the tomb, especially a tomb like this built along the mountain, if there is no earthquake, it is enough to support thousands of years without falling, and if you don't dig up the body of the tomb owner, you will never be able to determine the age of the tomb.
When Zhou Qin turned his head and was about to continue walking inside, he glanced at it as if he had found something strange, and returned to the stone wall to grope for a while, muttering a few words: "Feng, for, what king." From Zhou Qin's words, we know that the tomb owner doesn't know what he has done and what kind of king he has been crowned with. The two words in front of the king are not clear, I think it should be an honorific title, just like Prince Rui and King Pingxi.
Zhou Qin saw this Wang Zi with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have a way to get out!" ”
"What's the solution?" Fang Ze and I were very surprised, we could see the way out from these words alone?
Zhou Qin said that the royal tomb is not the same as the ordinary mausoleum, and this kind of mausoleum has one similarity with the emperor's mausoleum, that is, the main tomb must have a side passage.
This kind of royal tomb has the tradition of joint burial, because it is not known which of the husband and wife died first, so the side passage is left in the main burial chamber, so that the coffin can be sent to the main burial chamber without destroying the front battle.
We all understood what Zhou Qin said, as long as we entered the main tomb, there was a possibility of escaping.
"Then what are we still rubbing over here, let's get over it quickly." I urged: "Maybe Qingyang seniors are in front." "I wish that the Qingyang Dao people were in front, firstly, the Gu worms on my body could be cracked, and secondly, if Qingyang was in front, this way down, we would definitely be unimpeded, and those bizarre things, the Qingyang Dao people would definitely solve them.
We walked nearly 100 meters, looking at the three passages that appeared in front of us and our eyes flashed, these three tombs looked the same on the outside, I used a flashlight to shine inside, the fog was foggy, and the pillar of light could not see the road ahead clearly after five meters.
Looking at the footprints of the tomb robbers on the ground, there were people who entered the three tombs, Hua Chunliu leaned down and looked carefully: "These people only have footprints that go in, but they don't come out." ”
Even I can see that only one of the three grave paths is a way of life, and the other two are dead ends. Fang Ze originally said that the last thing that people in the Xuanmen were afraid of was the Xuanmiao Formation, but the tomb path mechanism. Choose one of the three, and the probability of success is only 30%, which is almost a gamble.
Those people were in and out, and perhaps those who had entered the dead end did not have time to escape, and were killed by the mechanism in the tombway. I turned my head to look at Fang Ze: "Brother Ze, which way should we go?" ”
Fang Ze pondered for a while, looked at the three tomb roads again, and pointed directly to the tomb on the left: "Let's go this way." "Within five meters of walking, we saw three corpses, two of which had become bones, and they were wearing tattered robes, similar to the ones we had seen outside.
Another corpse was very fresh, dressed in a white coat and wearing a gas mask, Hua Chunliu checked it: "The blood has turned black, this person has been dead for almost seven or eight hours." "Perhaps this man was with the three tomb robbers we saw.
The three generations of life are different, but the fatal wounds are the same, they are all pierced through the body by powerful crossbow arrows, I looked at the stone wall less than two feet away from us, and swallowed saliva, so narrow, if the mechanism is stimulated, we will not have time to react. I asked Fang Ze, when he saw the corpse so close, was this a dead end?
Fang Ze smiled and said that he chose this path when he saw the corpse.
I don't understand this, someone died here, it means that this tomb is dangerous, we should go back and choose a new path, what is the reason for facing the difficulties? I don't think I'm invulnerable.
Zhou Qin explained that in this kind of layout, only the way of life will be heavy, and the road of death will be unimpeded.
I nodded knowingly, thinking of something: "Even if this is a way to live, we may not be able to get out, the distance between the two sides is too narrow." ”
Fang Ze smiled mysteriously and did not answer, but pulled a hair from his head, wrapped it in a charm and kneaded it into a paper ball, pinched open the corpse's mouth and put it in.
Fang Ze instructed Hua Chunliu: "Remember your steps." "Running to the graveyard we just walked through, we couldn't figure out what Fang Ze wanted to do.
Just when I was wondering, the dead body trembled and stood upright, and walked forward without saying a word or raising his legs. The arms swing freely, as if they were alive.
Zhou Qin explained to us that this is Maoshan's psychic spell, which can make the two of them communicate with each other and move in unison. Li Yan and I nodded in surprise, it turned out that Fang Ze wanted to use this corpse to explore the way.
The stone slab on the left foot of the corpse fell slightly, and the sound of the "click" machine was heard, and many small holes appeared in the smooth stone wall, and then the crossbow arrows shot out, bringing out blood flowers on the corpse, but it did not stop the corpse's movement.
Li Yan didn't look away when she saw this situation, and couldn't bear to look at it again: "Brother Ze's method is too cruel, this person is dead, why do you still have to trample on other people's bodies." ”
Although I couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene, I didn't feel disgusted with Fang Ze's approach in my heart, maybe I watched too much, or maybe I was mature. I used to be unaccustomed to it, and I couldn't stand it, but now I just smile indifferently and maturely, not to see through, but to look down.
As the corpse gradually deepened, Fang Ze also walked over slowly, and there was a dull sound of "bang" in front of him, as if something had fallen, perhaps the road had come to an end.
Fang Ze walked over and asked Hua Chunliu if he had remembered his footsteps? Hua Chunliu nodded lightly, exploring the road in front, the crossbow arrows scattered in the tomb can be seen everywhere, I said in my heart that if there is no corpse to explore the way, we are afraid that we will die eight times earlier.
At the end of the tomb was a staircase, from which the body rolled down, and the head had long since disappeared, leaving only a body full of crossbow arrows. Fang Ze didn't take a second look at the corpse, but took out a flashlight to shine around.
It was an empty burial chamber, with no funerary goods at all, just an open sarcophagus with a few bodies lying on the ground. Several corpses were dead, all of them were inserted into their chests by corpses, and the five bloody holes were shocking.
Fang Ze and I carefully walked to the edge of the sarcophagus and looked inside, inside the coffin was a downward passage, bursts of smoke rose out, and there was a strange smell of barbecue in it, I shrugged my nose twice: "Is there a picnic down here?" This meat is roasted and fragrant! ”
This meat aroma is very special, not like beef and mutton, Fang Ze's face slowly became solemn: "It's human flesh!" ”
