Chapter 97
"Okay, everyone was tired just now, take a rest first, and then find a way to relieve yourself. The tomb is dead, and the person is alive, is it possible that he is really suffocated alive? β
Lan Zui couldn't think of a way out, and she was injured, but as the head of the Lan family, she couldn't let her morale leak like this. It will be completely over until there is no morale, so Lan Zui squeezed out a smile and beckoned everyone who survived to rest on the spot and recover his body.
Everyone is well aware of the importance of the materials in the backpack, even under the threat of the tomb wall mechanism and the lack of support, the backpack is firmly tied to the back. This will be gasping for breath, everyone is thirsty and hungry, hearing Lan drunk's words, thinking about it, if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost, it's not cost-effective to go to Huangquan Road hungry!
Watermelon and Uncle Zhong first took out the drinking water and compressed biscuits and jerky in the bag, and then Yu Chen's side also took out the food and chewed it in a big gulp. Only Jun Yihuang and Bai Suhe couldn't touch the food, Jun Yihuang and the others didn't dare to ask, Meng Zheng stayed by Bai Suhe's side, obediently washed off the blood on Bai Suhe's face with water, and then opened the thin lip flap and poured the water into it slowly.
Lan Zui really couldn't take care of Bai Suhe at this time, and the fact that there was no way out weighed heavily on her heart, so she handed over the corresponding medicine to Meng Zheng, and looked around at the tomb where they were while eating dried meat.
This burial chamber is not large, but it is not small, about 200 square meters, and it is oval-shaped. In order to save flashlights, they only turned on two wolf-eye flashlights, and all the miner's lamps were turned off, so they could not see the surroundings very clearly, and they could only roughly tell that the entire burial chamber was no longer made of clay, but was made of bluestone slabs. The air in the room is a little turbid, smelling of earthy and stuffy stench, this is caused by long-term lack of ventilation, to be honest, the air that has been deposited for thousands of years can still breathe, Lan Zui thinks this is a miracle.
There were nine more people and one ghost in the empty tomb, which didn't seem crowded, but Lan Zui knew that if they didn't hurry up and find a way to get out and continue to stay here, even if they were rich in food and water, it would not be long before there would be only one end - the air accumulated in the tomb was exhausted and they suffocated to death.
Hey, the problem is that they can't get out of the back, and there is no passage in this tomb, what else can they do? Conjuring a path out of thin air?
Lan Zui's brows were furrowed, and even the jerky in his mouth couldn't taste at all.
After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, Lan Zui had to put it down first and concentrate on eating to restore his body. Watermelon sat right next to her, tearing open chunks of jerky and gobbling them down her throat. Lan Zui paused for the rhythm of eating, and exclaimed with a wry smile: "Watermelon, you are not a starving ghost reincarnated, eat slowly and no one will rob you." β
"Hehe, Sister Lan, our line of work is originally a way to live by stepping on a big knife. Eat more and eat more, if you can go out and save enough strength to work, if there is no way, you will have food in your stomach, at least you can be worthy of yourself. The watermelon smiled open-mindedly, stopped after speaking, and said: "It's closed here, and the small tank of oxygen we bring can't last long, so there's no need to keep it in stock." β
Lan Zui was silent, obviously thinking of the oxygen problem, she was not the only one.
"I see that Nuo Min and Chen Yubei are both in the middle of the tomb, aren't you together? How do you dodge the trap? There was no way to respond to the question of the watermelon, so Lan Zui could only talk about him left and right. When they came over, they found that Nuo Min and Chen Yubei had the same fate as Zhou Yi and the three of them, they were caught in the tomb wall, and the steel shield used to defend against crossbow arrows was also slightly deformed and distorted, which gave Lan Zui a new understanding of the powerful lethality of the tomb wall.
"Not to mention, at that time, Leopard and I were standing on both sides of the tomb with a steel shield, and that's how the two of us were the first to notice that there was a problem with the tomb wall. At that time, there was no time to react to the situation, and the people who reacted ran away. Thanks to the two steel shields in the middle, otherwise ......" recalled the incident not long ago, and the watermelon was afraid for a while: "Forget it, the three of us are also picked up, and if we can eat enough and then go on the road, God treats us well, much better than the ones who left first." β
Lan Zui sighed, patted the watermelon on the shoulder, stopped talking, and continued to gnaw on her jerky.
After his stomach was filled for five minutes, Lan Zui finally eased up, and then saw that the dried meat in the water was almost soaked, moved to Bai Suhe's side, and poured this meat water that I didn't know what to call it into Bai Suhe's mouth.
Lan Zui and Meng Zheng were taking care of Bai Suhe, and the others had nothing to do after eating. The ping-pong ringing in the tomb not far away still sounded, indicating that the mechanism was still running. So a group of people who had nothing to do began to wander around the empty tomb, hoping to find a passage and save their lives.
In fact, this burial chamber cannot be called a burial chamber at all, except for the green bricks around and on the top, there is really nothing, not even a little soil slag, I don't know what it is used for. To put it mildly, this chamber seems to have been designed for tomb robbers because the builders guessed that someone would be able to break through the tunnels.
"Alas, not even a single mosquito can fly in the cracks of this blue brick, what are you doing?" Montaigne walked along the brick wall, his eyes widening as he scrutinized it.
"Have you ever seen a mosquito that burrows into the ground? That's a ground mouse, right? Besides, even if mosquitoes fly in, what's the use, can you still become mosquitoes and fly out? The leopard taunted Montaigne, he stared at the gap between the green bricks in a daze, and suddenly said whimsically: "Otherwise, let's make a thief hole and drill out of the thief hole, right?" β
"You want to be buried alive in the sand? Don't forget that there is a few meters of sand on your head, in addition to the dirt! "This time it's the watermelon's turn to taunt the leopard.
"What then?"
"Cold salad."
That being said, no one would really sit and wait to die, and the person who had eaten and drunk enough to regain some strength was still allocated a piece and searched carefully.
"Ah...... Ahh Fuck, don't you feel colder? The watermelon lay on the bluestone slab and shivered, and couldn't help but sneeze out.
Not only watermelons, but after a while, everyone noticed that the temperature began to drop. Maybe it wasn't the temperature dropping, but that their body temperature was starting to return to normal, and they felt the chill in the burial chamber.
The burial chamber is located underground, and due to its original function, it is usually relatively cold. But it is precisely because of the deep underground that the outside is covered with layers of compacted soil and a layer of yellow sand several meters thick, which isolates the heavy snow and cold wind on the ground. So today it's the opposite, it's warmer under the ground than it is on the ground. Later, along the way, he was roasted by fire and forced to jump non-stop, and his body emitted a lot of heat through guΓ² movement. When I first entered the tomb, I didn't feel it, but after eating and sweating, the coolness poured into my body one after another.
"yes, why is it so cold?!" Lan Zui also felt strange. This stone chamber is airtight except for the tomb passage outside, and the stone bricks at the end of the tomb are automatically closed. With so many people in the confined space at once, it doesn't make sense to be so cold even if the temperature doesn't rise. They had sprayed water in the Crystal Chamber, but the temperature in this chamber was four or five degrees cooler than on the other side of the Crystal Chamber.
"Huh?" It was a matter of life and death, and Montaigne, who shrunk his hands and trembled his teeth, was still persistently responsible for his stone wall. Suddenly, Montaigne's eyes widened, he reached out and touched the wall in front of him, and then he roared loudly: "Hey, there is a door on the wall here of me!" β
"Ah, I have a door here, too!" At the same time, the leopard also screamed.
This news was like water splashing into a hot oil pot, except for Bai Suhe, Lan Zui and Jun Yihuang, the others exploded at once, rushed to the wall, and rushed to the two of them.
Sure enough, the blue-black bluestone slab was inlaid with a door that was more than one meter wide and two meters high. It's just that although the tomb is not big, it is not yet a fighting room, and their light is not enough, and the edge of the door is completely built along the gap in the bluestone.
The two doors are identical in size and shape. Immediately after that, the others scattered and took a closer look, and found six more stone doors in a row. With the addition of the original two, there are eight doors, arranged in an oval chamber in order.
The enthusiasm that had just risen was quickly extinguished, and everyone present was staring, there was no way just now, but now there is a road, and they don't know which way to go.
"This door is in accordance with the order of the eight doors of the door, the door of rest, the door of life, the door of injury, the door of Du, the door of view, the door of death, the door of shock, the door of shock, the door of the three gates, the door of opening, rest, and birth, the door of death, shock, and injury, the door of Du, the door of the view of the peace. The ancients had a song that said: Jimen is not allowed to be Keji, and the fierce door is not capable of being defeated; Jimen has great benefits in life, and evil men have to avoid disasters. Jimenke Palace is not good, and the murder Menke Palace is even more fierce. β
Wang Fugui looked at the location of the eight gates, and the original slight wrinkles on his face wrinkled into deep grooves. He used his fingers to draw the direction and explain to the people around him, but except for Lan Zui and Dong Zhong who expressed understanding, the others were full of "I know what Bamen is, you just find the Shengmen and let us run away." We don't understand the specifics! 's expression.
Wang Fugui sighed, Qimen Dunjia is broad and profound, and it is generally a family of tomb robbers with a long history, such as the Rong family, who will have special personnel involved, and others will know some fur at most. He can't say it now, he understands something, but it is the level of half a bottle of water jingling. This time it was no better than drawing lots, the pressure was on him alone, if he pushed the wrong way into the door of death, it would kill everyone, including Yu Chen.
Several hot eyes stared at Wang Fugui in a daze, Wang Fugui took a deep breath silently, slightly fixed the position according to the compass, and pointed to a door in front of him: "I know you are impatient to listen to me." Shengmen belongs to the soil, and it is this door that lives in the northeast of the Gen Palace. But this is based on common sense, this tomb is full of weirdness, and I really can't settle down. β
The people who heard this were silent, this is not the same as telling them: I don't know, guess blindly, guess wrong, don't blame it.
All of a sudden, the situation froze again.
"If it's decided, open it and take a look, the water will cover it, how can you know if it's right or wrong if you don't try." Under the care of Lan Zui and Meng Zheng, Bai Suhe woke up slowly, just in time to hear Wang Fugui's conclusion. Bai Suhe did not change his usual direct and poisonous tongue, although his voice was low, he was full of impatience.
Thinking about it, the watermelon and the leopard brought Montaigne, and the three big men pushed and picked at the door without a doorknob, and the problem was that the faΓ§ade was full of polished and smooth bluestone slabs, and there was no focus at all, which made the three men sweat profusely, but the door was still not moving, and there was no change at all.
"I'm rubbing, what's going on with this door, I can't open it! It can't be a fake door, right? The leopard angrily kicked on the bluestone door, but the door did not move, but he held his feet and screamed in pain.
Suddenly, there was a clattering sound of chains sliding.
Before the others could laugh at his embarrassment, with the leopard's kick, the continuous thumping sound outside the tomb suddenly stopped, and the needle drop was suddenly heard inside.
Lan was drunk and shouted in disbelief: "The mechanism of the tomb road has stopped!" β
The others reacted and immediately cheered and rushed to the other side of the tomb.
Ran a few steps, I don't know who inadvertently looked up and down, the steps of rushing forward were forced to stop in mid-air, ignoring the inertia of the body rushing forward and bumping into the person, and turned around in a panic and ran back: "Go back, there are stones above your head!" β
That sentence made everyone who was still running forward turn their eyes from the front to the top, and then their faces turned white and rushed back.
The large stone on the top of the head, which is almost the same width as the tomb road, falls quickly and quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching the end of this section of the tomb road, and before the stone can run around the corner, the people inside will be crushed into meat sauce by the huge stone.
A swarm of bees rushed out, and then a swarm of bees rushed back, and in less than half a minute, the stones in the tomb had been lowered below the human head.
"Broken Dragon Stone......" Dong Zhong muttered at the boulder and unconsciously said. With the stone letters, the stone fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang, and the people standing in the tomb could even feel the huge tremor.
"Broken Dragon Stone...... Broken Dragon Stone, there will be a Broken Dragon Stone here. I thought it was a life gate, but in fact, it was just a dead end...... "Wang Fugui was dumbfounded and looked at the huge stone that blocked the only exit, now it's okay, even if Bai Suhe can use the spell, they will never be able to get out.
The broken dragon stone, also known as the yin-yang stone, is generally placed at the exit of the tomb. The fall of the broken dragon stone means that the tomb is completely closed, and one end of the stone is the residence of the dead, and the other end is the world of the living, from which the Yin and Yang Stone is named. It's just that the cost of the broken dragon stone is too huge, so the Qin Dynasty began to gradually replace it with running stone, except for the imperial tomb, no one will use this kind of tomb sealing method. Wang Fugui and Dong Zhong never expected that the Beiyan Mausoleum in this barbaric place would use this kind of mechanism.
Especially when they saw the tap stone in the small burial chamber outside the crystal tomb.
The Broken Dragon Stone isolates yin and yang, does this mean that they have indeed chosen the right path, the one above is a fake tomb, and the empty tomb they are standing in is the tomb where the real tomb owner is.
It's just a broken dragon stone, and there is no way back.
"If we do this more, we won't be able to get out, so why bother......" Wang Fugui smiled bitterly, the builder of this tomb has one anti-theft mechanism after another, and he is really cautious, but I am afraid that the imperial tomb is nothing more than that.
"How can there be water overhead?" Just when people were still shocked by the sudden Broken Dragon Stone, they found that large and small droplets of water began to drip from the top of their heads. Immediately after that, the water droplets turned into water curtains, and there was another sound of iron chains, and a huge opening suddenly opened in the center of the tomb, and the cold water rushed into the tomb in a surging manner, spreading to the feet of the stunned people.
