"What?"

Bai Chen and Chen Dong were both taken aback and asked; "Aren't we going to Zhuge Tomb?"

"It stands to reason that this place doesn't look like a tomb format from the Shu Han period. The stone maid in this cave says it all. ”

According to You Yang's judgment, this river through the mountain should be built by the fake Zhuge Liang when he repaired the mausoleum, and the natural karst cave was used to repair and dredge it with manpower in order to transport materials for the construction of the mausoleum.

In order to keep the secret of the fake Kong Ming tomb, these people were all loyal to the fake Zhuge Liang's subordinates, tied up and sturdy, forced to swallow a kind of "scarcity", and sealed their seven orifices, and then hung in the cave with bronze chains, suffocating alive.

In doing so, they can keep the secrets of the tomb and use them to scare off outsiders who strayed into the secret waterway.

It only takes about three to five days for the flesh and blood organs in the human body to become the nutrients of the larvae and fill them instead.

Because it is a rapid loss of moisture in a short period of time, the human skin will quickly dry up, as hard as the bark and stone shell, the eggs will not become larvae without seeing the air, and they will always maintain a state of hibernation, and can be maintained for more than a thousand years in a cool environment.

So to this day, when the human skin is cut through, there may still be countless live "lure" larvae like fat maggots in it immediately!

However, depending on the degree of preservation, it is also possible that the eggs inside are already dried up.

Since there are relatively few records in various classics, including wild history, Chen Dong only knows about this kind of evil art, but he doesn't know much about this kind of evil art.

It is not known what the living people are used for as pupae, and what the insects are used for.

At this time, You Yang said; "Not only are there a large number of figurines in Panlong Mountain, but there should also be a few more in the nearby mountains. The fake Zhuge tomb we are going to be, according to my deference, may be a king's tomb. As for the owner of this king's tomb, it is not Zhuge Kongming, it should be the evil witch king. Although the rule of the witch king is only a corner of southern Xinjiang, from this large number of slaves who have been made into figurines, we can get a glimpse of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the southern Yunnan region under the rule of the witch king in ancient times. ”

After listening to You Yang's analysis, Chen Dong and Bai Chen both felt that they had a layer of goosebumps on their bodies, and at first they said that they were clay statues like terracotta warriors and horses, but they turned out to be made by real people, and the two couldn't help but look back, but those hanged ghost-like figurines had already disappeared into the dark cave behind them, and they could no longer be seen.

At this time, the more Bai Chen thought about it, the more he felt that it was too cruel, and he couldn't help but scold: "These ancient kings of his mother simply don't treat people as people. In the eyes of the aristocracy, those slaves were not even as good as cattle and horses. Brother Dong, with a body like you, if he were a slave, he would definitely be able to mix a sacrificial head and a top man in ancient times. ”

When Chen Dong heard Bai Chen's words, he said to him: "Fuck your uncle's Bai Chen, your words have fully exposed your true colors of not learning and not knowing." As far as I know, in ancient times people were proud to be chosen as a martyr or sacrifice, and that was a great honor.

The selection of the martyrs is also extremely strict, you have to check the three generations of ancestors, there is not the slightest problem with the political face, and many people can't line up to apply for blood letters, which is most suitable for guys like you who pretend to be positive. At that time, you must have jumped on your feet and shouted, take me to the sky, I am the most suitable to light the sky lantern, let the people of the motherland wait for my good news, for the sake of victory, take me to light the lantern ......"

Bai Chen was furious when he heard this, Chen Dong's grandson's mouth was too lacking in morality, my brother was angry!

So he retorted: "I don't have as much meat as you, how can I be suitable for lighting a sky lantern, you ......"

Before he could speak, You Yang interrupted Bai Chen and Chen Dong: "You two are endless, how can you talk and talk about it." Did you see anything wrong? This waterway is not at all like what the old couple in Liao Yao Village described...... The same! ”

Chen Dong said: "The old couple never came in person, didn't they also listen to the stone workers? It's inevitable that there will be some errors, so we don't need to be suspicious. ”

You Yang shook his head and said to Bai Chen and Chen Dong: "It's not necessarily that the old couple said it wrong, the section of the river we passed through earlier has a very rapid current, which may be related to the heavy rain in the past few days; The river is so wide that it may be possible to connect the two rivers together. We only care about mastering the balance of the bamboo raft, the angle of the searchlight is very small, and the field of vision is also limited, so we may have entered a fork in the road. ”

After hearing this, Chen Dong hurriedly said: "That's troublesome, it's better to turn around and go back to find the way, don't follow the last time in the pile of gold, get into the dead loop, and in the end you can't get out." We don't have too much dry food with us. ”

You Yang said to him: "If it's really just a fork in the river, don't worry, these streams all flow in one direction, and eventually they will pass through Panlong Mountain and merge into a certain valley, so there will definitely be no problem of getting lost." And the river is very straight, obviously artificially processed, as I said earlier, it may be a waterway to transport materials for the construction of the tomb, and from here, it must be right. ”

Bai Chen said: "Brother Yang is right, in ancient times, when building large mausoleums, rivers were used to transport stones. From these two short sentences, you can imagine the huge construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor back then, because of the transportation of stones, the Weishui was blocked. ”

Chen Dong said: "The Wei River is a river on the other side of Shaanxi, and compared to the big river, it is at most a sewer. Compared with Qin Shi Huang, the fake Zhuge Liang is probably a poor man from a small family, and if we go to pour his fight, it will be regarded as giving him face...... Alas...... What's wrong? ”

As soon as Chen Dong finished speaking, the bamboo raft that slowly went down the river suddenly seemed to have caught something in the river, jolted violently, and then returned to normal, but he heard a loud and heavy heavy metal stirring sound in the river.

You Yang and Chen Dong Bai Chen had an ominous feeling in their hearts at the same time.

"No, I'm afraid the bamboo raft has hit a trap in the river......" Chen Dong suddenly shouted.

Before the sound from under the river stopped, You Yang and the three of them heard "plop plop p......lop plop" behind them, and the sound of falling water one after another was heard, and the sound became denser and denser.

In the end, the three of them could barely hear the gap between the sound of falling water, as if all the figurines that had been hanging over the river had fallen into the water.

Chen Dong scolded to himself: "It's not a good thing, I'm afraid those guys are going to turn into water ghosts to capsize our ship." After saying that, he took the "shotgun" off his back and pushed open the magazine to reload the steel balls.

Bai Chen also felt that there must be something abnormal behind him, so he turned back to look, but the bamboo raft had already left the section of the river where the figurines were hung, and it was pitch black again, and the tactical spotlights on the mountaineering helmets did not play a role at all in this kind of place, theoretically the illumination distance of fifteen meters, after gathering the aperture to the limit, could at most shine within six meters.

Because in an absolutely dark place, it is difficult for a single person to make a difference with the light of tactical spotlights, You Yang, who was sitting at the end of the bamboo raft, looked back twice, and couldn't see clearly, and said to Bai Chen and Chen Dong in a hurry: "Don't care what is behind you, use all your strength to move forward as soon as possible, and strive to rush out of this section of the river before being overtaken." ”

Chen Dong promised: "Okay, go full speed." "I turned on the searchlight at the front, picked up the bamboo pole, and prepared to use the bamboo pole to support the rock wall and add auxiliary force to the bamboo raft.

Unexpectedly, the solidified beam of light of the strong searchlight shot out, illuminating the straight river in front of him.

More than 100 meters away, there is also a place where more than 100 figurines are hung with chains, the light of the searchlight is too strong and too bright, shining on the gray-brown human skin is very terrifying, and it seems that those figurines are like countless hanged ghosts, dangling in the narrow mid-air of the river, which makes people feel more and more creepy.

The sound in the river sounded again, stirring up a series of echoes in the empty cave, and I saw that the chains of the figurines hanging in front of them fell off one after another, and the figurines fell into the river one after another like bombs dropped from bombers, and in an instant, in front of the pillars of strong searchlight, there were only hundreds of empty chains left.

This time, it is almost certain that the river that transported materials during the construction of the tomb of the witch king must have set up a mechanism in the river after the burial of the fake witch king, but it is not certain for the time being that those figurines that were put into the water as "shells" are famous.

"You Yang, this time it was really unfavorable, and before he entered the Panlong Mountain Valley, he went astray first. I am afraid that no one has traveled this river since the Han Dynasty, but the heavy rainfall these days has washed our bamboo rafts in, and it has missed the relatively safe route. Chen Dong said.

In his heart, he kept cursing, but the bamboo raft continued to move forward, and the river in front of him was quiet, not even the slightest wave, as if those figurines fell into the water and sank to the bottom, and there was no movement, and even the ripples caused by the object falling into the water did not seem to exist.

Looking at the calm in the water, You Yang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The calmer something is, the more great dangers and turmoil brew in it.

You Yang subconsciously pulled out the folding shovel. This shovel was bought by Chen Dong from Duobao Antique City, and You Yang played it very easily. He made up his mind that whatever would come out of the water for a while, he would pat it with a shovel first.

Bai Chen also took out the pistol, opened the safe, loaded the bullet, and after the three of them were ready, they let the bamboo raft drift forward slowly.

Now they have fallen into a situation of attacking from the front and back, so they have to deal with it calmly, and after figuring out the situation, they will strive to be able to strike backwards, and there is no need to blindly rush forward.
