Chapter 15: The Mercury Grave

At this moment, the enchanting sound of the lira sounded again, and a thick white smoke came out of the corridor. "Rao, no matter how stupid I am, I can already guess what is in that grave." I was in a cold sweat, and my hairs stood on end, and I wanted to move my feet desperately and run away. But out of nowhere, a mysterious and powerful force came that paralyzed my legs and made me unable to move.

Yamashita Fengwen walked towards me, he patted me on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I really want to run, don't you?" In fact, when I was brought here for the first time inexplicably, I was just like you, and I was scared into a cold sweat. However, Mr. Long, I have to tell you honestly, the situation you are in is quite good, and you will find that what you have heard now is nothing after you enter the corridor with me in a while. ”

As soon as I heard him say that he was going to take me to the corridor of the grave, my legs trembled violently, my pupils widened, my eyes widened, and I stared at Yamashita Fengwen with a dead eye, screaming and scolding: "Yamashita Fengwen, you bastard, what do you want to do when you brought me to this hellish place?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen also looked quite nervous, he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, glanced at me and said, "Do you think I am willing to do this?" I wouldn't want to come if the owner of the tomb hadn't ordered me to bring you, you talk so much nonsense, just follow me in if you want the answer. ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "My legs can't move at all, how can I enter the corridor with you?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen let out a long sigh and said, "You just can't leave this area of the tomb now, but it's okay to enter the tomb road, if you don't believe it, come with me." ”

Yamashita Fengwen bent down, bowed to the white smoke mouth of Yongdao, and then straightened his clothes and walked towards Yongdao.

Curious, I tried to move my feet, and was surprised to find that my unresponsive legs were able to move flexibly. I jumped on the mud and sand of the mound and felt the strength of my legs fully recovered. I followed closely behind the mountain and looked back a few times from time to time. It was pitch black inside the road, and Yamashita Bong and I each held a piece of dry wood from the barren mountain in our hands, lit it with a lighter, and then we walked step by step along the faint light inside.

As soon as I entered the corridor, a smell of blood rushed to my face, and I couldn't help but cover my nose with my sleeve and walk slowly.

The road in the tomb was a narrow and long road, with a dozen cross-cutting entrances, and Fengwen led me towards the farthest one, and he and I had just walked through a dark and deep wetland, and another endless scene appeared before me. My heart was pounding and my chest was heaving. I don't know if it has an end, and it seems like it will never end.

I really can't think of such an inexplicable road in the grave of a barren mountain and a wild mountain. I patiently continued to follow behind Yamashita Bongbun and slowly walked forward.

There was a lot of humidity inside, there was a puddle of sewage on the ground, and the unknown dark road ahead was full of the sound of running water, and I was holding a torch and was very curious to follow the sound of running water. But at this moment, Yamashita Fengwen suddenly grabbed my shoulder violently, and he shouted loudly: "Mr. Long, don't go any further, there are more than a dozen eerie white bone skeletons in front of you." As soon as they saw a man, they were resurrected into sperm and devoured the essence and blood of man. Also, don't step on the dirt on the ground. ”

When I heard Yamashita Fengwen say this, my body shook involuntarily, my eyes widened, and I asked, "What's wrong with this sewage?" ”

He said in a deep voice, "This sewage is mercury. ”

As soon as I heard that the sewage turned out to be mercury, I broke down in cold sweat, my body trembled violently, and I immediately thought of the ancient Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in my mind. According to Sima Qian's "Historical Records", the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was filled with mercury. The Mausoleum of the First Emperor uses mercury as the river and the sea, and the purpose of pouring mercury into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is naturally to prevent tomb robbery, as long as the tomb robbers dare to enter the tomb, the mercury in the mausoleum can naturally poison it immediately.

The historical data on the source of mercury in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor also said that it was the "Ba Widow Qing" in Chongqing Shou District, who did everything herself, in the cold winter and heat, she drilled the Dan hole, entered the blast furnace, set up the pot and added firewood, and asked for advice in many ways, so that she mastered the "core technology" of cinnabar smelting and extraction of mercury, and greatly improved the production efficiency since her. Qin Shi Huang needed incalculable mercury to build the imperial mausoleum. Ba widow Qing quickly plunged into it, seized the opportunity, and finally became a national supplier monopolizing the industry in one fell swoop because of its high quality and low price.

Qin Shi Huang used mercury as a river and sea, not only to create a magnificent natural landscape, but also to keep the buried corpses and burial goods from decaying for a long time because of the mercury gas that diffused in the underground palace. Moreover, mercury is a highly toxic substance, and inhaling a large amount can lead to death, so the mercury in the underground palace can also poison tomb robbers.

According to ancient Chinese documents, before the death of Qin Shi Huang, some princes had already used mercury infusion in their tombs. But I never imagined that the barren mountain tomb in front of me would also be filled with a large amount of mercury. Mercury is highly poisonous, and besides, the ventilation facilities in this tomb are not good, so I am really afraid that I will be poisoned and die if I accidentally do it.

Yamashita Fengwen seemed to see the doubts in my heart, and he said coldly: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, as long as we don't mess around, we don't offend the owner of this tomb, and the owner of the tomb will not use this mercury to hurt us." ”

I looked up at him and whispered in his ear, "Is the ghost owner of this tomb you see a male ghost or a female ghost?" Isn't it terrifying? ”

Yamashita Fengwen looked at me, his eyes were empty, his expression was miserable, his voice trembled, his face was distorted, and his mouth stammered: "The master is a female ghost, as for her appearance, I ...... I ......"

I saw him suddenly squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, looking terrified. Judging by the look on his face, I knew that he must have a lingering fear for his so-called master. I frowned, glanced at him, and sighed, "Okay, it's not difficult for you, I know that this female ghost must be very fierce and hideous, otherwise you would never be afraid to be like this." But you don't have to be sad, in fact, I'm just like you, it's the first time I've seen the legendary ghost, and I'm scared too. I want to get out of this place right now. ”

After Yamashita Fengwen heard me say that I wanted to leave Yongdao, he suddenly stood up from the ground, and immediately regained his composure expression, he pulled my sleeve and said, "You can't leave here, what should I do if you leave, what will I explain." Let's go, I'll take you to the master in the grave......"

I paused and said urgently, "Didn't you say that there are more than a dozen skulls in front of you, and those skulls will be resurrected into essence and can't go any further?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen said loudly: "Let's not go ahead, I'll take you to another fork entrance, take a detour, I know the exact location of the master, I'll take you to see her now." ”

When I heard that I was about to see the female ghost in this tomb, I was both frightened and joyful. I was horrified that I had never seen ghosts, and I wondered if they would kill me, but I was glad that I could get a ghost world that was once unknown to mankind from the female ghost in this tomb, which was a very meaningful thing.

And I am a person with a strong curiosity and desire for knowledge, even if there is danger, I am willing to take risks, so I nodded again and again, and said softly to Fengwen at the bottom of the mountain: "Okay, don't pull me anymore, I will go with you." ”

Yamashita Fengwen held a torch in his right hand, pointed to an entrance to my right with his left hand, and said, "Then you hurry up and follow me, yellow smoke is rising in front of the road, and she is sending a signal to us to warn, if we go late, it is hard to guarantee that she will get angry and look for our bad luck." ”

I looked towards the front of the road, the yellow smoke getting thicker, nodded hurriedly at him, and quickened my pace to follow him.

Just as he and I continued to walk on, and had just reached a damp water, a cold wind suddenly blew up, and then there were bursts of young women's complaining sobs in the corridor, which sounded very miserable, and I looked curiously at the bottom of the mountain.

Yamashita Fengwen's legs trembled, and his voice trembled: "She...... Here she comes...... This...... How could this be, she ...... How could she cry? ”

I frowned, puzzled, looked at Yamashita Fengwen suspiciously, and asked, "Where is she?" Why didn't I see it? ”

Yamashita didn't answer me, but just sat on the ground vigorously, panting heavily, obviously frightened.

I was so angry that I shouted at the place where the female ghost made a wailing voice: "Hey, where are you, why can't I see you, if you have the ability, you can quickly show up, let me see the true face of your Lushan." If you have the ability, don't hide. ”

I had just finished my sentence when the plaintive sobs suddenly stopped, and a beautiful white shadow suddenly appeared in the distance
