Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 040 Tomb Organs
Bai Yang has always had a question in his heart, but now when he heard Tie Niu mention Hongxing again, he pondered in his heart and finally asked.
"What happened to you and Hongxing at that time? Are you sure Hongxing entered this tomb?"
"Of course I'm sure!" replied without thinking about it, "at that time, Hongxing suddenly said that it seemed that someone was pinching her, but I was following her, and it was impossible for anyone to pinch her! Hongxing also withdrew, and jumped and jumped in the tomb, shouting again and again that someone was pinching her. Who knew that she jumped like this, and crushed all the dry bones on the ground, and caused countless bone-eating fireflies to fly, and we both hurriedly pounced with our hands, and then Hongxing suddenly ran into the passage on the far right, I shouted to you, and ran in after her. I saw her jump over the gap, and I couldn't hold my feet and fell down for a moment, but luckily I had a dagger in my hand, otherwise I would have died under the gap. ”
Tie Niu finished speaking in one breath, and Poplar still felt full of doubts.
"Did you shout at Hongxing when you fell into the gap?" asked Poplar.
"Of course I shouted, but Hongxing...... It seems that I didn't hear it at all, and I just ran away!"
"Did she pause when she ran to that gap?" asked Poplar again.
"No!" Iron Bull shook his head, his eyes widening suddenly, "You don't mean it...... Hongxing knows there's a gap there, right?"
"And what do you say?" asked Poplar rhetorically.
Tie Niu frowned, thinking carefully about the situation.
"Yes, when Hongxing ran to that gap, she jumped over easily, as if it was ...... She already knew there was a gap! But how could it be? Could she have been here a long time ago? But if she had been here a long time ago, why didn't she tell us?...... By the way, there's another very strange thing!"
"What's the matter?" asked Poplar at once.
"When Hongxing stepped on the white bones and caused countless bone-eating fireflies to fly, although she was also beating with her hands, she ...... I was soon covered in insects, but I could clearly see that when she suddenly ran into the passage on the right, there wasn't even a single little worm on her!"
When Tie Niu said that, even he seemed to feel incredible, and he couldn't help but look at Poplar with a shocked face.
"Lao Bai, what do you say is going on......? Red Apricot has been here before, but why...... Those little bugs don't fall on her, don't they...... Do those little bugs still know her?"
"I don't know why!" Poplar sighed and shook her head, "I just feel weird, if you did see her enter this tomb, how could she find her way to the other tombs so easily, unless, as you said, she actually came here before!"
Tie Niu was stunned for a while, and suddenly jumped up.
"I still don't think Hongxing has ever been here, she can't be so ruthless and deliberately lead us here to death......! Let's stop thinking about it, let's find her quickly and ask her face to face!"
Poplar actually didn't believe that Apricot would bring them here on purpose, because there was no reason for her to do so.
So Poplar nodded and said, "Okay, let's search carefully." I guess the person who built this tomb knows some evil arts, otherwise it would be impossible to spawn bone-eating fireflies and red-haired zombies so easily, so ......"
He didn't finish his sentence, but raised his hand and shook his wrist.
The old bell on his wrist still made a hoarse and low sound, not like a bell, but like an iron lump on a wet wood.
"The sound of this bell is so ugly, it means that there is something terrible in this tomb, right?" Iron Bull asked.
He had followed Bai Yang and listened to a lot of tomb robbery legends told by Old Man Bai, and he roughly knew the role of this old bell.
Poplar nodded and said, "So let's be more careful! Maybe there are not only evil things, but also hidden weapons!"
Tie Niu agreed, and then asked, "Where do we start searching?" Can't we all explore all the green bricks on these four walls, right?"
Poplar thought for a moment and said, "Since the tomb builder deliberately set up this red-haired zombie, if you want to find a way to the main tomb, you will definitely alarm this zombie......!" I guess the mechanism that opens the passage to the main burial chamber should be set up in the sarcophagus!"
Iron Bull said "Ahh
Poplar didn't want to discuss this topic with him, so he walked directly to the sarcophagus and looked at it carefully with a flashlight.
The first thing found in the sarcophagus was that there were two one-meter-long wooden sticks that looked like thick wooden sticks.
Poplar took out one of them, and found that it was heavy, and he didn't know what kind of metal forged rust.
Tie Niu also reached out and took out another one, and found that the thing was abrupt, and its shape was the same as that of a bamboo, and there were "bamboo joints" in the middle.
"What is this? Why is it so strangely shaped?"
"This should be an ancient weapon, called a steel whip!" Bai Yang replied, "It is estimated that this red-haired rice dumpling used a weapon before his death!"
The iron tongue couldn't stop and said: "This guy is so heavy, it seems that the red-haired big zongzi was a strong man before he was alive! Fortunately, he didn't know how to continue to use this thing after he became a big zongzi, otherwise we would have died in his hands!"
Bai Yang was also secretly glad in his heart, so he handed the steel whip in his hand to Tie Niu, and simply jumped into the sarcophagus to investigate carefully.
The Iron Bull still looked at the two steel whips and said, "What kind of material do you say this is made of, and why hasn't it rusted for so long?"
"The ancient forging technology is not something that we modern people can understand, the Tang Dynasty is less than two thousand years ago, but some weapons unearthed during the Warring States Period have not rusted until now!"
Iron Bull answered, placing the pair of steel whips on the ground and groping outside the sarcophagus.
It's a pity that the two searched and found nothing.
Poplar had to get up from the sarcophagus.
Tie Niu also straightened up and said, "I don't think it's possible that it's inside the sarcophagus, right? After all, how could there be a red-haired zombie lying in it, and she would dare to jump into it to open the mechanism? And even if she dared, the red-haired zombie should have done something with her first, right? But when we came in, the red-haired zombie was still lying in the sarcophagus!"
He didn't say it unreasonably, but Poplar ignored him, but stood in the sarcophagus, looking carefully left and right.
Then he noticed that there was something shining slightly on the top of the head of the stone maid kneeling not far from the sarcophagus.
He immediately jumped out of the sarcophagus and looked closely at the top of the maid's head.
The maid was dressed in ancient costume, and an antique-style bun was also carved on the top of her head, and a hairpin flower was inserted in the bun.
What is slightly shining is the smooth head of the hairpin.
Poplar tried to pinch the top of the hairpin with his hand and twisted it.
Unexpectedly, this twist was really twisted, and a soft "click" sound was heard, and Poplar immediately turned around.
Because the sound came from the sarcophagus, the iron bull probe who had been standing in front of the sarcophagus looked into the sarcophagus, and immediately shouted: "Lao Bai, come over with a flashlight, it seems to have moved here!"
Poplar immediately approached the sarcophagus, shining the light of the flashlight in the direction of Tie Niu's finger, and suddenly found that in the middle of the top of the sarcophagus, a small piece the size of a thumb protruded.
Poplar stretched out his hand to press on the small piece, and he heard a sound of "snort", and when he turned his head to look, the hairpin flower on the top of the head of the stone carving maid had returned to its original position.
But there were no doorways around it.
Poplar didn't give up, walked back and twisted the hairpin of the stone carving maid again, and asked the iron bull to press the small protrusion in the sarcophagus.
He listened carefully to the movement in the tomb by himself, and found that there was not only the sound of the hairpin on the head of the stone carving maid returning to its place, but also another subtle sound, which came into his ears from somewhere on the right.
Poplar immediately shone his flashlight at the wall, and from a distance he didn't look out of the ordinary, until he walked up to him and looked closely, only to find that there was a blue brick, slightly protruding half a centimeter high.
Tie Niu stretched out his hand to press the green brick, but Bai Yang hurriedly blocked it with his hand, and he stood in the corner of the wall more than a meter away from the green brick, and then knocked it at the green brick with his black sword.
I only heard a "clatter" sound, and a pit appeared just below the green brick. In the corner of the wall on the side, there is also a piece of wall that is retracted inward, revealing a boxy doorway.
