Chapter 16: The Water Palace

Lu Laojiu said to himself: "Organ, organ, this cave is blocked and I don't even let out a fart, where can I find a mechanism!" ”

I shone a flashlight on that boulder, could it be that it was alive? So I pushed forward and found that the boulder was still motionless, and Lu Laojiu pushed me away, "How good it is to use explosives directly!" ”

He was just about to make a move, when a cold wooden voice suddenly came from behind: "Stop!" At this time, everyone looked behind them in unison, and found that the cold wood was at the door of the side room on the left, "That boulder is blocking water." ”

"Did you really put that rock?" I asked incredulously.

"Hmm."

"What's the blockage?" Lu Laojiu was puzzled.

"Xiao Leng, you don't mean that there is water in this underground palace, right?"

When robbing the tomb, the most afraid thing to encounter is water, "What, the owner of this tomb wants to use this as the Dragon King's Palace?" Or is this feng shui master a fool who mistakes the water in the treasure land of feng shui for the dragon king's palace full of water? ”

The fat uncle pondered for a moment and said: "It's not the first time we have encountered the water palace in the ancient tomb, let's just say that our ancestor has also encountered such a situation when he was upside down, but the method at that time was relatively backward, using a winch water truck, hanging a unique cowhide bag in the north to pump water out, and then there was a water pump, because the water pump is a mechanized drainage tool, and the efficiency is naturally incomparable with the water wheel, but today this situation is no longer expected by us, not to mention the water pump, even the water wheel we didn't bring it." ”

"Didn't the cold wood just say that it used a boulder to block the water?" I say.

Cold Wood pointed upward, "I'm talking about this." ”

The cold wood means that the amount of water is not very large, and you can blow a hole in it, and all the stagnant water will remain in the sacrificial pit, and then we suddenly realized, "But you blocked the passage with a boulder, and there is no other entrance here." ”

He turned to us and said, "Follow me." ”

We followed the cold wood, into the left side room, he took a flashlight on the wall, found that there is a Buddha statue on the wall, the material is also different, it seems that this wall is very thick, he pushed the wall, the Buddha statue really turned, we successively put on our backpacks and followed, did not walk many steps, found two huge doors, the stone door looks at least 3,000 kilograms heavy, but because the door is installed with a square integral copper pipe fan, the heavy stone door is also very flexible when opened. Of course, according to Uncle Fat, after the funeral in ancient times, all stone gates must be sealed and never opened. So when I came back, I had to find another passage.

I followed Leng Mu all the way, holding its arm tightly, and suddenly a warm current came from the palm of my hand, holding my hand, strange, Leng Mu generally has no body temperature, right? I lowered my head suspiciously, and Han Ye's voice came from my ears: "Don't be afraid. ”

Before I could react, I was dragged by him, I let go of Leng Mu's arm, he turned his head to look at me, and finally without any expression, he walked forward on his own.

The passage in front is very long, and it is pitch black all around, Han Ye turned on the flashlight to illuminate the road, because the passage is narrow, I accidentally found the mural on the wall, stopped, Han Ye asked me, "Why don't you leave?" ”

I pointed to the wall and said, "Look at the rows of frescoes, they don't look like the headless gods we saw in the tomb of the King of Ailao!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Laojiu took a picture on the wall, "Okay! Girl, your eyes are sharp enough! ”

"Is there any significant connection between these two tombs?"

"I guess it's like it." Lu Laojiu nodded approvingly.

At this moment, there was a loud bang from above, the sound of explosives, and Leng Mu looked up, "They are following." ”

Immediately after that, the sound of rushing water poured down from above, but fortunately, the cold wood blocked the stagnant water with a boulder, and the stone gate on this side had been sealed, but I was not afraid that they would follow.

"Alas! He's fat, and people don't seem to be on the way with us! Lu Laojiu looked at it and said.

"We'll meet you, let's go."

Judging from the current situation, maybe my dad and they walked through the main entrance of the ancient tomb, and we walked in the underground palace, or even the underground palace, because in addition to the murals of the headless gods, there are dilapidated walls, such a large ancient tomb, buried either emperors or generals, right? However, the surroundings are dilapidated, and it does not look like a place to bury the owner of the tomb with a revered status.

"There's light up ahead." I stared ahead.

No wonder the air is circulating, there should be a hole here, because the area of light is not large, there seems to be a stone statue in front, in the dark, only he is illuminated, it looks particularly solemn and mysterious, we took a flashlight and shone it around, there is an incense burner on the stone table, all around are scattered corpses, I really don't understand what kind of place this is?

"Damn it, isn't it an ancient tomb? I didn't see a coffin, but it was like entering a temple. Lu Laojiu said with a flashlight.

"Hmmm! Fortunately, these people have heads, and things are not too unbelievable. The fat uncle nodded and looked at the stone statue, "Look, what does that stone statue look like?" ”

"Chiyou?" I guessed.

"Yes, the history books say that Yelang Kingdom was a tribe in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, also known as Nanyi, the legendary ancient inhabitants of China, and the people who lived in the south were called 'barbarians'. After the Jiuli tribe entered the Central Plains, the Yandi tribe also entered the central region, and there was an intertribal conflict with the Jiuli tribe, after the defeat of Zhuolu, the leader Chiyou was also captured, remember the cannibals we met on the tomb of the Chiyou type? The fat uncle suddenly asked.

"Any connection?" I asked, puzzled.

"The cannibal tribe, in fact, also has a precedent in ancient times, after the emperor defeated Chiyou, not only made the hair of his whole body into decoration, but also made Chiyou's skin into a target for people to shoot with a bow and arrow, and the rest of his meat was chopped into meat sauce and eaten with the world."

After the fat uncle finished speaking, I couldn't help covering my mouth, "The descendants of Yan and Huang, our ancestors, it won't be like this, right?" ”

Han Ye patted my frightened heart, "In fact, in the real history, there are many records of marching and fighting in ancient times because of food and eating human flesh, Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty once killed his wife and concubine to reward the soldiers to boost morale, and it is rumored that the number of cannibalism among his soldiers reached 30,000, and Fan Wen of the Northern Song Dynasty named these people two-legged sheep, those old and weak and thin men are called Rao Jiaohuo, young women are called Buxian sheep, and children are called bone rotten. ”

"That's too perverted, isn't it?" I can't believe it.

"In ancient times, if there was a famine, it was normal to eat people."
