Chapter 20: The Nine Corpses Carry the Coffin
Luo Dascar raised his hand high for a moment, and turned his head to look at Professor Jia on the pit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Professor Jia's fat body jumped down, gently touched the front of the brick wall with his hand, grabbed some brick crumbs and smelled them, his face changed, and said: "It's not good, there is an anti-theft layer in this brick wall, I guess it is some chemicals used in ancient alchemy, as long as the confined space in the brick wall is broken, the chemicals inside will immediately vaporize, and the gas produced is extremely toxic, and a little smell can immediately bleed to death." ”
When everyone heard this, they were so frightened that they retreated, this ancient tomb anti-theft means are extremely powerful, although I have not seen it with my own eyes, but I have seen it from some history books, there are often flooded soil burials, and there are traps, etc., taking people's lives unconsciously, very powerful.
"Professor Jia, how are we going to do it?" I asked out loud.
Professor Jia pondered for a long time, climbed up from the pit, and said: "Poison gas traps are usually killed in defenselessness, since we have seen through them, there is no need to be afraid, and they can be solved in the simplest way." ”
As he spoke, he extinguished the torch in his hand, wrapped a layer of medical gauze, sprinkled a bottle of alcohol for disinfection, and when he lit it again, the torch suddenly brightened up a lot. Professor Jia put the torch in his hand in front of the brick wall, and used a shovel to gently draw a large circle on the wall, a small circle in the middle, after doing these actions, he took us away from the distance, I estimated the distance, I was afraid that it was twenty meters away, and motioned to the foreigner Leddy to shoot at the small circle in the middle.
Leddy's marksmanship is very good, and after he understood what Professor Jia meant, he barely aimed much, and when he picked up the submachine gun, it was a shot, right in the small circle. The gunfire was deafening, and it was even more powerful in this closed mountain crevice, if it wasn't for the first time to cover your ears, it was possible to be deaf. After the gunshots, only a few "clang" sounds were heard, and the torches that were originally inserted in front of the brick wall seemed to have added some combustibles, and the fire became even more vigorous.
Everyone was so frightened that they covered their mouths and noses with clothes, and it was not until half an hour later that all the gas in the brick wall was exposed, and the torches in front of the brick wall gradually dimmed and returned to their original appearance.
Professor Jia slowly took the clothes away from his mouth and nose, sniffed in the air, and then motioned for us to take the clothes off, and said, "The gases formed by these ancient alchemy chemicals are all good combustion supporters, and the torches have been dimmed, which proves that those poisonous gases have been burned out."
Everyone looked at each other, who could guarantee that the poison gas was burned out, the fatal thing was not a joke, and no one dared to step forward first. So everyone sat down and waited for more than an hour before slowly leaning over under the urging and leadership of Professor Jia.
I smelled the faint smell of burnt plastic in the air, but I walked all the way without any discomfort, so I had the courage to dig a hole in the wall with a shovel and a pickaxe with Professor Jia.
Professor Jia took out two or three fire folds from his backpack and threw them in, and I saw that although the fire of the fire folds was not large, it burned quite smoothly, proving that the air inside should not be too bad, so I carefully observed the environment inside.
The light of the fire fold is too weak to see the size of the burial chamber, but you can see that the walls of the burial chamber are carved with some patterns and words, and there are some things scattered on the ground, which are gray-brown in the firelight, and it is impossible to tell what the material is. Professor Jia pulled the torch from the ground, and asked Reddy to take out a small torch from his backpack and light it, and then carefully entered the tomb.
The guide of Yueren Village was unconscious, and he was afraid that it would be more dangerous in the tomb, so he left him behind, and could only wait until he came out to pick him up.
Everyone rushed in, and by the light of the two torches in front and back, they finally had a rough view of the tomb. This burial chamber is about 30 square meters wide and no more than 3 meters high, and the interior is empty, with a corridor on the opposite side. We penetrated from the south of the chamber, but some of the patterns and writing on the walls were destroyed. Although I felt a little pity at this time, I didn't think too much about it, and it wasn't until later that I gradually realized that entering the tomb so recklessly might ruin the opportunity to reveal a piece of history hidden in the long river of history.
There are countless things scattered on the floor of the tomb, most of them have become fragments, squatting down and sweeping away the dust on them, and if you look closely, they are actually some bronze vessels, and look at those shapes, it seems to be wine vessels and other drinking and banquet vessels, and there are also some scattered fragments, and I don't know what they are. If all the debris was intact, it was almost as if it had been swept away by a strong wind, and almost nothing was intact.
"Ah, it's a bronze chime, a stone chime, and a troll!" During the day, he fiddled in front of some fragments for a while, made up a rough shape, and then sighed slightly: "It's a pity that such a perfect set of musical instruments has been destroyed, if you can take it out, it must be a national treasure." ”
I can't tell that he still understands this. I looked at the fragments of bronzes all over the ground, and thought to myself that this tomb was very strange, these bronzes seemed to have been destroyed by force, could it be that the tomb of the king of Nanyue had been stolen and excavated before? But it doesn't seem right, no matter which dynasty of tomb robbers entered the tomb only for the burial goods, it is impossible to break these bronzes, what incredible things happened here?
Turning his head, he saw Professor Jia also squatting on the ground to carefully inspect the fragments of bronzes, and when he saw me looking at him, he stood up and said to everyone: "The place we entered should be the ear chamber of the tomb of the king of Nanyue, but it seems that something happened here, these exquisite bronzes have been destroyed, let's continue to go forward to find the main tomb." ”
I pulled up Luo Dascar and Mango heads, who were still rummaging for things in the pile of debris on the ground, one by one, and seeing that they didn't give up, they must have wanted to see if there were any valuable goods, and I was rewarded by them. Professor Jia had already walked into the corridor first, and I turned my head to see the pity on the face of the kid during the day, and his face was also cloudy, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
The width of the road is no more than two meters, and the walls on both sides are carved with some characters, and I scanned my eyes and found that I could understand a little bit of these seal scripts, all because I had practiced calligraphy for a period of time in college. But now the time and place are not right, and I am not an archaeologist, so I don't have the enthusiasm to study, otherwise it would be good to take a look.
The road was very long, and we walked for about ten minutes, but we still didn't reach the end. Professor Jia led the way with a torch in front of him, walking very carefully, and I knew that he must be watching out for traps or something. Foreigner Leddy is walking at the back, saying that he is the queen of the palace, but in fact he is monitoring us, I believe that as long as we disobey the slightest, his black hole has already aimed at our muzzle is by no means vegetarian.
Walking in the dark corridor, I felt very uncomfortable, and I unconsciously remembered those previous experiences, and my back couldn't help but sweat coldly. After walking for about ten minutes, I saw the torch in Professor Jia's hand in front of me widen in the light, and then the footsteps loosened, and I finally walked into another burial chamber.
This burial chamber is more than twice as large as the ear chamber just now, and it is more than five meters high, but when we can see the contents of the burial chamber clearly, we can't help but feel a chill in our backs. I saw that in the middle of the tomb, there were four huge copper tripods, and in the middle of the copper tripod was a high platform, and a sarcophagus was placed on the high platform, the most chilling thing was that around the sarcophagus, there were several human bones, to be precise, it should be a few dry corpses, all kneeling towards the sarcophagus.
Could it be that this is the tomb of the king of Nanyue? So what does this battle represent? Could it be some ancient ritual?
I felt stiff all over, and I turned my head to look at Professor Jia, hoping that he could give an answer, but I saw that his face was pale and a row of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Everyone, don't go near it, this is the Nine Corpses Coffin Array. The stuff in there, the stuff in it is so powerful, if it comes out, we don't even want to get out. It took a long time for these words to be squeezed out of Professor Jia's mouth, but everyone was scared to the core.
What's inside, what's inside, could it be a zombie? I flashed images of zombies from movies and some rural legends in my mind, and found that my hands were trembling unconsciously, but I was also extremely curious, and in order to strengthen my courage, I said to Professor Jia: "Professor, could it be that this thing is a zombie?" And what exactly are the coffins of the nine corpses you are talking about? ”
Professor Jia stared closely at the sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb, and said for a long time: "I don't know what the contents are, as for the coffin of the nine corpses,......" he glanced at me, his eyes were very strange, but he turned his head and continued: "It can be said that it is left over from an ancient religion, and the nine corpses gather the yin qi of the nine directions and gather in the sarcophagus, so that the things inside are extremely powerful. ”
Although I still don't understand Professor Jia's words, such as why it is Jiufang instead of Quartet, how can there be nine directions, but as soon as my thoughts flashed, I was so frightened by his last sentence that I couldn't ask anything, and I didn't stop until the yang energy dissipated, so that once the things inside came out, they would chase you until you died.
Foreigner Leddy suddenly said something to Professor Jia, Professor Jia nodded, and said to everyone: "In the opposite corridor, there must be another ear room, let's go first to see if we can find some funeral goods, it's not in vain." ”
When everyone heard this, they moved slowly, but they all left the sarcophagus far away, almost walking against the wall, and the mango head was not only sticking to the wall, but even the belly was sucking inward, for fear that it would be so close to the sarcophagus. I wanted to laugh, but I found that in this atmosphere, I couldn't laugh.
Halfway through, I was fascinated by the pictures on the wall as I deliberately kept my eyes looking at the wall as much as possible. The top and four walls of the tomb are painted with vermilion and ink cloud satin patterns, which are very delicate and exquisite, and if they can be brought out intact, they must also be at the level of national treasures, and some of the patterns have evolved into a narrative picture here.
The first picture I saw depicted a handsome man standing on a chariot drawn by nine horses, and behind him were countless soldiers in armor, with weapons in their hands, climbing over thousands of mountains and mountains. And the second picture is still the handsome man standing on a nine-horse chariot, leading countless soldiers, fighting with a group of people with spears in front of him, blood splattered all over the field.
Seeing this, I knew that it must be the deeds of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who pacified the Nanling area, and those natives who were chased and killed by Zhao Tuo must be the Baiyue people.
At this time, Mangotou, who was walking behind me, pushed me and said, "Uncle, let's go, Professor Jia, they are already about to enter the Yongdao." ”
A thought flashed through my mind, maybe these murals were engraved with the secrets of this place, so I said to Mango: "The murals here may be useful for going out, I will finish reading them soon, you go first, I will come immediately." ”
Mango head was not at ease, so he gave me a flashlight to illuminate, I ignored him, continued to read, only to see the third picture, only to see the handsome man standing on a mountain, next to the palace under construction, and a group of natives under the mountain are wearing handcuffs and neck locks, it seems that they must have defeated the Baiyue people to occupy the land of Nanling; And when it comes to the fourth picture, it's a little strange.
I saw the fourth picture, which was of some handcuffed Baiyue people, worshipping a huge triangular pyramidal building, and the heroic man behind him, with countless soldiers, surrounded them.
I looked at the huge triangular pyramidal structure again, and the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, wasn't this the Hundred Witch Coffin we had seen before? Could it be that the Baiyue people were defeated by the advanced weapons of the Central Plains soldiers and fled into this deep mountain to seek the protection of their ancestors?
Seeing the fifth picture, I was more sure of my inference, only to see that on the fifth picture, there were countless soldiers, pressing those Baiyue people to build a project, and when the picture turned, those Baiyue people were pushed into a huge lake, and in the water of the lake, a huge monster head was exposed.
At this point, it is actually very clear that Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, must have arrested the Baiyue people, forced them to build a mausoleum for himself, and then threw these Baiyue people into the underground lake to feed the monster, this feudal ruler is really brutal.
I looked at the sixth picture, and I saw the handsome man, lying in a huge sarcophagus, carried by some soldiers, in the built mausoleum, and under the mausoleum was the huge triangular pyramidal structure. Does this mean that the invaders of the Central Plains will suppress the Baiyue people forever?
Seeing this, I am even more strange in my heart, why did Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, build the mausoleum in the burial place of the ancestors of the Baiyue people, is it just a simple symbolism of conquest, or the feng shui here is excellent, obviously not so simple, then what is it?
Suddenly, under the light of the flashlight, I saw the handsome man lying in the sarcophagus, who seemed to be wearing something on his chest, the mural was too small to see clearly, but under the light of the flashlight, the black spot on his chest was still shining. I gently put my finger on it, and noticed that the black spot was a little cold.
