Chapter 16: The Skeleton of the Figurines
Chapter 16: The Skeleton of the Figurines
Those who had just finished eating the meat were somewhat sick to their stomachs when they saw the messy corpses that had been torn by the beasts.
Of course, Yun Lang is the only one who is disgusted, Dazai's face is expressionless, and looking at these corpses is no different from looking at a pile of wood.
The tiger always wanted to get close to sniff, and the strong smell of blood aroused his wildness a little.
Fortunately, this guy still held back, squatting between Yunlang and Dazai and looking around.
Yu Lin Lang was gone, the hunters were gone, and Yun Lang Dazai and the two passed through the wasteland of Nuoda, and no outsiders saw them.
The sun sets in the west, hanging on the top of the mountain.
The days are short in early spring, and after half an hour the sun sets, the earth will be dark.
This place is already very close to the Qin Tomb, and it can be said that the two of them are already standing on the heavy sealed soil.
Half an hour around the Qin Tomb is just right.
The Qinling Tomb is intact, there are no robbery holes, not even larger rat holes.
Dazai stomped on a thin hole, stepped on the hole with all his might, and finally carefully crushed it with his foot.
After walking this road for many years, there is an extra path on the wasteland where there was no road.
However, the path is hidden in thatch, making it difficult to spot without looking closely.
Perhaps because it was getting dark, Dazai walked quickly along the path towards the heel of Lishan.
Further on, there is a small stream, and the ice water that melts in spring exudes a chill to the bone.
The path disappeared completely by the stream, and Yunlang followed Dazai's steps on the cobblestones.
The further you go, the denser the cobblestones become, and the last traces of your feet on the cobblestones disappear without a trace.
There was a low stone wall at the water's edge, Dazai climbed the stone wall as lightly as an ape, pulled a rock from a high place and flew down, his body landed very slowly, Yun Lang could see clearly, his hand was connected to a thin chain.
When Dazai landed on the ground, the rock wall of Nodai seemed to shake, but there was not much sound coming out.
Dazai threw away the chains in his hands, and without waiting for the chains to be withdrawn, he pressed his hands on the stone wall, and with a hard push, the huge stone wall slowly retreated, and a three-foot-wide dark gap appeared in front of the two of them.
The tiger is familiar with the way and is the first to walk into the gap.
Dazai looked at Yun Lang with an inexplicable expression and said: "This is the location of the Shenwei military camp, before the chains are withdrawn from the place, you can push open this stone door, once the chains return to their original positions, the stone door will be locked, you remember, this stone door can only be opened once a day." ”
Yun Lang nodded, looked up at the position of the chain, and then walked into the gap.
As soon as he walked in the door, Yun Lang collided with the tiger, this guy seemed to be deliberate, and his two green eyes looked extremely bright in the dark.
"Grab the tiger's tail and walk."
Dazai had no intention of igniting the fire, so Yun Lang had no choice but to find the tiger's tail and be dragged forward by it.
This cave is very large, because Yun Lang has walked for a long time of incense, but the smell here is very turbid, and there is a strong rancid smell, but it is not to the point where it is difficult to breathe.
Dazai pushed open a door in the dark, and when Yunlang and the tiger walked in, he closed the door again.
A bean's dark red firelight appeared, and Yun Lang heard the sound of Dazai blowing the fire fold, and soon the Ichidou spark turned into a bright flame.
Finally, when a mountain of lights is lit, the whole house becomes bright.
This is an arsenal, with thick wooden shelves full of ge, spears, halberds, swords, and some scimitars with the flavor of ethnic minorities, and the walls are full of bows and crossbows, of which Qin crossbows occupy the majority.
It was a graceful tool for killing, and even when it was dusty, the black lacquered casing still glistened in the light.
Yun Lang stood on the shelf, unloaded a Qin crossbow from the wall, and put it under the lamplight, carefully observing.
This thing is well-structured, the bronze components on it are well-made and full of metal, and it was born to kill......
"Don't be too obsessed, you will have time to look at these things in the future, most of the things are from the "Examination of the Gongji, Qin Gong" to see the pattern, do you really plan to be a humble craftsman?"
Yun Lang kept looking at the blades on the wooden frame, and said to Dazai excitedly, "Do I want to live here?" ”
Dazai shook his head and said, "This is the Netherlands, so you are not suitable to live here. ”
"It's not a problem to not see sunlight for ten days and a half, right?"
Dazai didn't say a word, just picked up a piece of firewood, dipped some oil on the lamp mountain and lit it, then opened the door and threw it out.
Firewood flew in midair, creating a bright line of fire that illuminated the open space outside the house......
Yun Lang saw the scene outside clearly, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and his short hair was about to stand up.
It wasn't until now that he understood why Dazai was able to bring him in, but he had to go in the dark and not let him look at his surroundings.
It's just because there are piles of bones outside...... The bones of people, one by one, piled up, even on the ground were covered with bones.
"Giggle......
Yun Lang's teeth rang involuntarily.
Dazai looked at Yun Lang's eyes with a smile full of evil taste and said, "Do you still want to live here?" ”
"No, let's go back to the mountain."
"No, from today onwards, every ten days, you must stay here for one night, I can accompany you three times, after three times you stay here by yourself, and I will go back to the mountains to live."
"It's all the bones of the dead, it's going to spread the plague, I'm going to die here."
Dazai looked at Yun Lang faintly and said: "There is no epidemic poison, every corpse bone has been boiled in boiling water, there are only bones here, there is no trace of meat on the bones, where does the epidemic poison come from?" ”
"Cooked? Cannibalism? Yun Lang's teeth rang even louder.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, the bones here are all your fathers, ancestors and brothers, after the battle is killed, the bones that can be recovered will be brought here, and when the skin and flesh are gone, they will be boiled in a cauldron, and the last remaining skin and flesh will be removed, and the bones will be placed here, waiting for someone to use the skeletons of our fathers and brothers to make figurines, protect Your Majesty for the rest of your life, and wait for Your Majesty to return from the Nine Shadows......"
When a person tells a crazy story with a serious attitude and puts it into practice, even if the person is very sober, he is actually crazy.
"I am very old, and when I die, you will do the same, and pile my bones with them.
If, the old man said, if you have the ability to find a craftsman who makes figurines, remember to make me look brave, and don't forget to restore me to the way I was before the punishment. ”
"How old are you this year?" Yun Lang forcibly suppressed the frightened tremor in his heart and asked.
"I've spent thirty-seven years in vain."
"You're thirty-seven?" Even though Yun Lang was already very calm, he couldn't help but scream.
It is impossible to say that Dazai was seventy-three years old Thaksin and that he was thirty-seven years old.
"Eunuchs always age faster...... Okay, everything that needs to be said is said, hurry up and find a place to sleep, and get up early tomorrow to get out of the mountain while it gets dark. ”
Yun Lang's mind was like boiling water, and he carried out Dazai's orders like a walking corpse, and came to the tiger's side very naturally, removed its big paws, spread a fur on the ground and lay down in the tiger's warm arms.
After lying down for a while, he felt that it was inappropriate, and then grabbed the tiger's big paw and put it on his body, and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Is there a skeleton in every terracotta warrior?
This thought was like an octopus wrapped tightly in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
However, I haven't heard of this in the research bulletin of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum.
Those broken terracotta warriors and horses are full of dirt, and you don't see any bones?
The tiger's purring carried a wonderful rhythm, which made Yun Lang fall asleep with a mind full of questions.
In the dream, Yun Lang fought with the zombie monster for a whole night, and Dazai, who was awakened by Yun Lang, was very satisfied to see Yun Lang's hideous and terrifying face and his arms waving wildly.
This is a young man.
Sleeping in a claustrophobic space, there is basically no concept of time, plus Yunlang had a nightmare, and when he was woken up by Dazai, he was still very sleepy and his whole body ached.
Dazai did not go out from the mountain wall with Yunlang, but pulled out a rope ladder from a groove and tied it tightly to a wooden stake.
The tiger walked up the rope ladder and walked steadily, alternating its four legs, and soon disappeared into the darkness on the opposite side.
Yun Lang stepped on the rope ladder tremblingly, and he couldn't see anything under his feet, he spat on his saliva, and he didn't hear an echo for a long time, which made him even more afraid.
Just follow the example of a tiger and land on all fours, pouting your buttocks and climbing to the opposite side step by step.
The rope ladder was shorter than he expected, and when he climbed to the opposite side, he touched the smooth fur of the tiger, which reassured him.
Yun Lang just came over, Dazai also came, lit up the fire fold, and walked in front, Yun Lang hurriedly walked in front of the tiger.
Walking in such darkness, he always had the feeling that something was pulling him back. Let the tiger follow behind at ease.
It is a path that clings to the cliff wall, and with the help of the faint light of the fire, you can see the cliff wall full of chisel marks.
The path seems to stretch upwards, but it is dark and you can't see left and right.
The darkness seemed to have substance, pressing Yun Lang from all directions, so that Yun Lang had to grasp Dazai's clothes with one hand and the tiger's ears with the other to feel a trace of comfort.
I don't know how long I walked, but a beam of heavenly light fell overhead, which made Yun Lang almost cheer.
Swiftly past Dazai and run down the path.
At the end of the path was a crack, and Yun Lang poked his head out of the crack first.
The mountain wind was cold, and Yun Lang breathed greedily, and although the cold air made his chest ache, he still breathed heavily.
The crack was small enough for only one person to pass through, and Dazai pushed Yun Lang to crawl out of the crack, and after a little look at the surrounding environment, he couldn't help but be stunned.
