Chapter Ninety-Five: The Mysterious Tomb Robber

After helping my dad peel off the armor one by one, my stomach suddenly screamed, and my physical strength was consumed very quickly under the stimulation of a long time, and my stomach had already dried up, and now the top priority was to quickly find something to eat to replenish my energy, but there was nothing to fill my stomach underground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

We already had no extra energy to consume, and it would be self-defeating to delay any longer, so we decided to leave immediately, anyway, this is the road, leading to the direction of Huang Xiangu's escape on one side, and the other side on the other. A few of us discussed it, and decided to go in the opposite direction of Huang Xiangu, although Huang Xiangu was injured, but our current state is not optimistic, and it really can't be consumed.

The plan has been decided, my father is holding a notched axe in one hand and a candle in the other, leading everyone forward, since my eyes can now see at night, so I simply acted as everyone's 'radar', specifically for everyone to check the safety situation around us.

We walked in the Jizo Snow Lotus bush, 'Bang Lala' like the sound of ice cubes breaking endlessly, I don't know how many Jizo Snow Lotus was broken, if it was seen by those old medical scholars outside, it would definitely be angry and vomit blood.

I looked around as I walked, and when I saw the dried corpses under the snow lotus, an idea suddenly popped up, these dried corpses also had degraded yellow skins hidden in them, could it be that these dried corpses were the flesh of those armored warriors? What was it that made them finally free from the shackles of their armor? Where did the seeds of the Jizo Snow Lotus in the chest come from?

One puzzle after another poured into my mind, all of which seemed nonsensical, but in fact there was some kind of fixed logic, anyway, many things in the underground imperial tomb were mysterious and unsolvable.

In this dark underground world, there is no concept of time at all, because at a glance, everything is static, hundreds of years, thousands of years just quietly and slowly slip away, this is eternity.

According to speculation, we should have had a whole day since we fell off the hole in the col, maybe when we went out and looked at the calendar, maybe it was only a few hours, maybe two or three days had passed, so we didn't know how long we had walked along the way, and suddenly, I saw a dense fist-sized hole on the cliff wall on both sides, and my nerves immediately tensed, and I hurriedly asked everyone to stop walking.

"How...... What's wrong? Yu Aiting asked a little nervously.

I frowned and said, "Both sides of the cliff are full of dense holes, which look like mechanisms, and it would be bad if it was a poisoned arrow crossbow." ”

As soon as I said this, my father immediately became alert, and let us lie down on the spot, and then said with a candle: "I'll touch it to see the situation, and you must not move." ”

Although the snow lotus petals on the ground hurt a lot, and there were some dry corpses underneath, we had to lie on the ground obediently for safety, waiting for the results of Dad's examination.

Dad held the candle and slowly leaned against the cliff wall on the side, and a few of us didn't dare to come out, for fear that the arrows would suddenly shoot out of those holes, and we were all nervous.

Dad stuck to the cliff wall, not daring to go directly to the hole to check, first knocked the edge of a hole with a short axe, then turned the axe, and slowly stretched the handle into the hole to test it.

He let out a strange 'huh', put the candle in front of the hole and looked at it, then beckoned to us with a sigh of relief, "Come here, it's not a mechanism." ”

I quickly got up from the ground, I didn't wear a shirt, the snow lotus on the ground was stabbed on my body, not to mention, it was very cold, and I was uncomfortable to death for the few minutes I just lay on the ground.

I went over and looked closely, and I saw that the holes in the cliff wall were about the same size, but they were of various shapes, and they did not look like they were made by the craftsmen who built the tombs.

The depth of these holes is only about five centimeters, and they are not the holes of the so-called crossbow arrows at all, I stroked the cold cliff wall in confusion and said, "What are these things for?" ”

Uncle Liu thought for a while and said: "This must be dug by manpower, look at the shape of these holes, the excavation should be in a hurry, building a mausoleum is not a trivial matter, such inferior products are definitely not allowed to appear, so think about it, these things must be chiseled by later people, and there are so many of them, according to my estimate, there are at least dozens or hundreds of people on the other side to carry out this work." ”

"Could it be a tomb robber?" This is the first thing that comes to my mind, because according to my thoughts, the mausoleum will be sealed after the head of the official family, and everything in the past will be buried under the loess forever with the burial of the tomb owner, and the tomb will be opened again in addition to the archaeological team is the tomb robber, although the archaeological team is also digging the mausoleum, but the purpose of the tomb robber is different, the tomb robber is seeking wealth, in order to achieve the goal of unscrupulous means; In order to study the historical value, the archaeological team mainly focuses on protective excavations, and will never make holes in the tomb.

"Grave robbers? Hmm......" Dad chewed carefully, nodded and said: "There is this possibility, the tomb robbery gang that can dispatch so many people is definitely not civilian, this is an official thief." ”

We then discussed for a long time, but we still couldn't make up our minds, because we didn't know the function of these holes at all, and if we had to discuss it, it was estimated that everyone would starve to death here.

I looked at the sea of snow lotus, which stretched infinitely forward, and then looked at the top of the cliff, and a bold idea came to me, so I said: "I don't know when this road down there is a head, I think the density and size of these holes are very suitable for climbing, or let's climb up." ”

"It's not going to work." Dad was the first to object, he felt that Uncle Liu was old, Yu Aiting was a girl, and it was obviously extremely dangerous to climb this cliff more than ten meters high, so he still suggested that we continue to move forward.

I knew he had a point, but looking at the long and boundless sea of snow lotus, I really didn't have the confidence to make it to the end, at this time, Uncle Liu suddenly said: "If you can, you can get it, and if you can't go up, you can get it." ”

Dad wondered, "What do you say?" ”

"Do you remember the samurai in armor?"

"Why don't you remember, I put on that magical armor inexplicably, what do you mean......" Dad didn't understand what Uncle Liu wanted to say at all.

Uncle Liu squinted at the dense holes in the cliff wall, and said, "I think, this is what those armored warriors made, and the most likely function is to climb." ”

What does that mean...... Do you mean that those armored samurai were not soldiers guarding tombs, but robbers? I asked with some understanding.

Uncle Liu nodded heavily and said: "Yes, those armor styles are not our Central Plains standard military helmets, especially the helmets, which are very similar to those of Western knights, and you have found that no, this cliff must have been formed naturally, that is to say, it existed underground before the tomb was built, this kind of 'pit' was called the ominous land in ancient times, it is the passage to the Nine Nether Spring, and it is generally not used as a burial pit. ”

"Are you saying that these armored warriors came to rob the tomb, and then they were calculated and fell to the bottom of this cliff, and in order to survive, they had to dig holes from below to climb?" The more I listened, the more I felt that he made sense analytically, so I asked.

"You can't be wrong." Uncle Liu said: "If they come down on purpose, they will definitely prepare ropes or soft ladders, and they will only dig these holes to climb up if they have to." ”

It is said that the three stinkers have competed against Zhuge Liang, and after a brief discussion, several of us felt more and more that Uncle Liu's analysis was very likely, so we totaled a little, Dad took the lead in the front, Uncle Liu and Yu Aiting followed in turn, and I was at the bottom of the back, specializing in dealing with accidents.
