Chapter 406: The Constellation of the Tomb (I)
When Xia Ruobing woke up, he saw Mr. Min lying not far away.
"Mr. Min...... Mr. Min! Xia Ruobing crawled over and patted him gently, it seemed that he just fainted and was not injured.
"Bing'er......" Mr. Min woke up and hugged Xia Ruobing excitedly, "Bing'er, do you know how much I miss you...... It's been 20 years......"
Xia Ruobing was taken aback by Mr. Min like this, and pushed hard, but she couldn't push him at all, feeling very embarrassed, Mr. Min hugged her tightly, telling about the pain of lovesickness for Shi Yingbing in the past 20 years, and after a while, Xia Ruobing said softly: "Mr. Min, I am Xia Ruobing." ”
"Xia Ruobing? My Bing'er? Mr. Min seemed to be a little sober, he let go of Xia Ruobing, and looked at the person in front of him carefully, it was indeed his lover, Shi Yingbing, who had been thinking about it for 20 years!
"I'm really Xia Ruobing." Xia Ruobing pushed Mr. Min away, "Mr. Min, are you hallucinating?" ”
"Uh...... I'm sorry......" It took a while for Mr. Min to see clearly that the person in front of him was indeed not Shi Yingbing.
"Did you see Shi Yingbing?" Xia Ruobing hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Yes, I just saw her in the stone chamber, and she was standing next to me, looking up at the mural......"
"But...... I was the one standing next to you looking at the mural. Xia Ruobing's eyes widened, "I felt that it was Wang Xingguo standing next to me......"
"How is this possible?!" Mr. Min whispered, Wang Xingguo hadn't seen him since he was in the Gaoshan King City.
Xia Ruobing's mind was also chaotic, she tried hard to recall everything after entering the royal tomb, after the beard lit the brazier in the corridor, there was a sweet smell in the air, at that time Xia Ruobing also felt a little dizzy, and then in the golden treasure room, the beard lit the brazier again, and the air was filled with the sweet smell, the beard then ran away as if he had seen a ghost, just now the beard lit the brazier again, and after the starry sky map of Orion appeared on the stone room, the sweet smell in the air became stronger, The bearded man screamed like a ghost, and when he saw Wang Xingguo, Mr. Min mistook himself for Shi Yingbing......
"Fire! There is a problem with the fire! Xia Ruobing probably knew what the problem was, "There is psychedelics in the brazier!" ”
Mr. Min thought about it, it seemed like this, after the brazier was lit, he also felt some dizziness and chest tightness, originally thought it was because of the lack of oxygen.
"The Huns who came in to carry the treasure had hallucinations after lighting the braziers, so they killed each other." Xia Ruobing reasoned.
"That'...... When we smell a scent, we have hallucinations that we imagine in our heads? Mr. Min was still a little skeptical.
"No matter what, you can't light the brazier again." Xia Ruobing said.
"Huh? What about Chen Badai and Dick? Mr. Min looked around, they were in a passageway, but no one else was seen.
Xia Ruobing looked at the watch on his wrist, called up the compass pattern, and found that this passage was still not in a positive direction, but inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees from southwest to northeast.
"This way!" Xia Ruobing pointed in one direction, according to their respective positions when they fell, if they didn't guess wrong, Dick would be in this direction.
Mr. Min was a little suspicious and did not act.
"Mr. Min, you really won't let Dick take any of Loulan's things?" Xia Ruobing was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked.
"Of course, why do you ask?" Mr. Min asked strangely.
"You swear in the name of Shi Yingbing that you will not let Dick take any Loulan things, not even a piece of sand!" Xia Ruobing looked at Mr. Min very seriously.
"I swear in Shi Yingbing's name that I won't let Dick take any of Loulan's things." Mr. Min looked at Xia Ruobing suspiciously for a long time, and slowly raised his right hand to swear.
"Xia Ruobing, don't you trust me?" After swearing an oath, Mr. Min asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, the most important place of the royal tomb is about to appear." Xia Ruobing did not answer positively.
Dick rolled all the way to the bottom, his brain was so dizzy that he didn't have time to think, and finally stopped, and suddenly saw a ghost bared his teeth and swoop at him, Dick instinctively flew a kick, this time kicking the ghost in the stomach, and he heard a muffled snort.
Dick searched all over the ground for weapons, but there was nothing but yellow sand on the ground, and in desperation, Dick pulled out the pistol in his pocket.
The bearded man didn't know what was kicked, and the intestines in his stomach felt like they were being kicked off, he stood up in a daze, and saw a hideous-looking ghost standing in front of him, he pulled out the survival knife at his waist, and shouted at the ghost like a trapped beast: "Come on! Come on! ”
Dick saw the ghost in front of him pull out a sword from his waist and roared, "Come on! Come on! ”
The two circled, but neither dared to make the first move, and under the standoff, Dick misfired because of the nervous pistol, and with a "bang", Dick was awakened by the sound of the gunshot, and he saw the bearded man holding a survival knife and yelling at him.
"Hey! Hey! It's me! Dick thought there was something strange about it, and the bearded man seemed crazy......
It took a long time for the bearded man to wake up to the fact that the ghost in front of him turned out to be his boss......
"This is the territory of the King of the Undead, and I must have seen the ...... of the undead," the bearded man muttered to himself.
Dick looked left and right and patted the bearded man on the shoulder: "Let's go......"
The bearded nervous jumped up and almost jumped three feet away: "BOSS, don't be behind me, you'll be scared to death......"
Wang Xingguo heard a rumbling sound from the depths of the passage, and when he arrived, the ground had already returned to its original state, some gems were scattered on the stone platform, the brazier illuminated the stone chamber very brightly, and there was a sweet smell in the air.
Wang Xingguo felt that the smell was always a little weird, so he drenched a large piece of cotton wool with water and covered it on his mouth and nose.
Wang Xingguo didn't find the code Xia Ruobing left for him, there must be a mechanism here, but the walls of the stone room and the ground are tightly fitted, Wang Xingguo has to find the switch.
"Bang!" Wang Xingguo heard a gunshot, the sound was not loud, it came from under his feet, Wang Xingguo pulled out the survival knife, knocked the floor with the handle of the knife, the ground was empty, he lay down and pressed his ears to the ground, and some sounds could be faintly heard.
Wang Xingguo looked at the stones scattered on the stone platform and the box that had been moved, walked up to the stone platform, and forcefully moved a box of gems, the ground shook again, and the ground cracked into several pieces......
“HATFUCK?!” Hearing the rumbling, the bearded nervous general jumped again.
"Calm down! Calm down! Dick felt that the bearded white man had grown so big, and that he was less daring than a mouse.
“BOSS! There must be ghosts here! Let's not continue......" The bearded man felt uneasy, as an experienced "archaeologist", he participated in the "excavation" of many ancient tombs, but none of them were so weird.
Regardless of the ethnic group, each has its own traditions and customs when it comes to the establishment of mausoleums. But all the mausoleums are regular, the most intuitive point is that the shape and interior of the mausoleum will follow the symmetrical geometry, such as the pyramids of Egypt, the remains left by the Maya in the jungle of South America, because the symmetrical shape of the building is the easiest to build and also meets the aesthetic requirements of people, in the era of underdeveloped productivity in ancient times, it is not an easy thing to build a mausoleum, the bearded man feels that this is simply not a project that the ancients can complete, the only explanation is - this is the palace of the king of the dead!
Dick also felt a little strange, this is different from the mausoleums in other places, in the traditional mausoleums in the East, after the tomb door comes in, there is the front hall, and then all the way to the inside will be divided into the dormitory, the treasure room, usually a three-story structure, the direction also basically follows the topography of the mountains and rivers or the north-south direction, some tombs will also follow the principle of symmetry, with the standard of the central axis on both sides of the digging of some ear chambers, storing some of the tomb owner's lifetime utensils or treasures, but here is not the same, those stone chambers are connected by long passages, they are not closely connected, and these channels do not follow the standard direction, but seem to be biased in a certain direction very arbitrarily.
Although Dick did not have much interest in archaeology, he knew that the ancients attached great importance to death, and it was impossible to spend so much energy to build this royal tomb as they wanted, and this way of building and connecting the stone chambers must have other meanings.
The bearded man who walked in front of him in fear, not noticing that Dick was thinking about things, fell behind, and he saw another stone chamber appear in front of him, and there were many figures in the stone chamber.
"BOSS......" The bearded man's voice trembled.
"Huh?!" Dick stepped forward and turned on his headlamp, and saw that the figures were just stone figures......
"There's no going to be any mechanism, is it?" The bearded man did not dare to step on his legs.
"Just go in and find out!" Dick gave him a push behind his back, and the bearded man staggered a few steps into the stone chamber floor......
Where did the bearded man dare to move, he saw Dick enter the group of stone statues, so he hurried three steps and two steps to follow.
Dick was looking for another passage, and if the chambers were connected by passages, there would be another passage connecting to the next chamber, and maybe there would be stone doors, switches, and things like that.
The stone figures in the stone chamber are neatly arranged in several rows, both male and female, and they are all dressed differently. There were civil officials, samurai, merchants, and some ordinary people. The carvings of their faces are also vivid, some smiling respectfully, some glaring angrily, some standing with their hands down, and some holding their weapons aloft...... In addition to the stone statues, there are also a number of stone statues of camels, horses, sheep and wolves at the other end of the stone room, standing or lying, a wolf standing on a stone and roaring in the sky, and on a raised stone in the high place, there is an eagle with wings spread high......
