Chapter 134: Breaking into the Underground Palace
The next morning, after we packed our bags, Ping Yixi said: "Everyone must remember, you must follow me, do not touch anywhere, the road you walk must be walked by me, do not run around, this may kill all of us." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info there is also that if you encounter an emergency, don't run around, you must keep the formation I told you yesterday, let's use a shield to defend, it's really not possible to retreat according to the original way, we can also use a shield to seal the entrance. Got it? “
Everyone nodded and looked at Zheng Zailu, and Zheng Zailu said angrily: "What do you mean? After checking their equipment again, they went down the rope. In order to save torches, only the leader Ping Yixi climbed in front of him with torches, and a few of us followed behind us in the dark.
After about twenty minutes of fear, we finally crawled out, the entrance of the cave was about three meters away from the ground, and Ping Yixi took his dagger and stuck it on the wall as a pedal and walked down first. We climbed down in turn, following his method. When I got to the ground, everyone lit torches, and when the fire lit up, I realized that this was a stone cave, and it was a naturally formed stalactite cave, and the top of this cave was only three or four meters high, but it was very wide, and it should be fine if there were about two trucks crossing it. Stalagmites grew above and around us, torches swayed, and the shadows of stalagmites swayed from side to side on the walls, as if surrounded by thousands of goblins.
I asked, "Where are you going?" Ping Yinan looked at it for a while and said, "If you go down and up, it should be the entrance of the cave." Gan Ning said: "There is a hole, we have been digging for so long?" Ping Yinan explained: "The entrance to the cave I said was also from their time, it must have been sealed, and hundreds of years have passed, and it is estimated that it will not be found for a long time." “
Ping Yixi said to us, "Follow me and go." "Then we lined up to follow Ping Yixi like elementary school students crossing the street. After walking down for about ten minutes, we found a gate. This gate is about two people high, and it is a pure stone slab gate without any carved patterns and lettering.
Ping Yixi waved his hand at us, and we all stopped. Ping Yixi said: "Big brother, second brother, come with me." Then the three of them took out the broken soldier barrier extremely skillfully and blocked it in front of them, formed a U-shaped and walked forward slowly, walked to the door, Ping Yixi looked around, and then threw the torch to the corner of the gate, and then the three of them walked over slowly, and after a while, they followed the routine of throwing a torch and walking around, and they probed around the entire gate.
Ping Yixi said: "The walls on both sides of this place are all stone, and there are no mechanisms. If there is, it must be behind the door. Gan Ning asked, "Then can we go over?" Ping Yixi beckoned and said, "Come here." It's safe here. Then he turned around and went to figure out how to open the door.
When I got closer, I found that this door was huge, and the door frame was a boulder cut the size of a large color TV neatly inlaid in the mountain, exaggerated to the point that the two fast stones were tightly closed in the middle, and there was no gap at all. I looked at the stones, and then at the stone gates. Gan Ning patted the stone door and said, "Even if there is no mechanism, a few of us can't push it open, right?" ”
Ping Yixi was looking at the gate carefully and ignored Gan Ning. Ping Yinan explained: "Generally, this kind of door is dead, and Konishi is looking for a place to dig a hole and dig it directly. I said, "If I build this tomb, I will pave it with slabs of stone and bury it with earth, so that you will not be able to dig it." Ping Yinan smiled: "If we are all like the eldest brother, we will not be mixed." I laughed and said, "Just kidding." “
At this time, Ping Yixi shouted: "Xiaobei, come and have a look." With that, he drew our eyes back to him. I saw him dig a small pit in the ground, shovel up a small pile of soil and take it to Xiaobei to see. Xiaobei scraped a few times with a dagger, and found that there were some things in it that were not slag, Xiaobei took the torch and looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Brother Xi, this is a poisonous insect called red loach." This underground is full of poisonous insect corpses, and there may still be living ones, if we let this thing get into our bodies, then we don't want to get out. So it's definitely not going to work to dig up, so let's find another way. Everyone pay attention to their feet and don't let poisonous insects crawl on their bodies. As soon as she had finished speaking, everyone took torches under their feet. Xiaobei continued: "Our clothes can't get in, just be careful not to let it get in through the collar." The crowd nodded.
After filling in the soil here, Ping Yixi began to grope for the door again, and after looking at it for a long time, he knocked on the stone door again. Then he took the dagger and began to dig the stone door frame and the gate junction. After digging for a while, he said: "This stone gate is movable, not a stone wall, this door is not too thick, let's see if we can push it first." ”
Then I said to Gan Ning, "Come, let's both push." Gan Ning came over and said, "Come, I'll count one, two, three, and work hard together." Then Ping Yixi said: "If you can push it open, don't push it away first, be careful that there is a mechanism, you can move a little, I am afraid that if the stone door is pushed open, poisonous arrows and other things will pop out of the stone wall of the door frame." ”
The two of us nodded and began to push the stone door, and the two of us gritted their back molars and pushed for a long time, but the door did not move at all. Then Zhang Laosi and Zheng Zailu also came over and pushed the door together. As a result, it still didn't move. I gasped and asked, "Are you sure this can be pushed away?" ”
I'm sure unless there's something at the door. As soon as he said this, we all stood there helplessly. Ganning pointed to another door and said, "Try this." "Everyone doesn't talk nonsense, going up is pushing, and as a result, this door is particularly face-saving, we just pushed it three times, and there are scattered dust falling on the door. Everyone was overjoyed and began to play with the push of their lives. There was only a dull sound of stones rubbing against us, and the stone door was pushed open a little. Ping Yixi hurriedly stopped us, he walked over with the broken soldier barrier, took a torch and studied there for a long time, and said, "Sure enough, there is a mechanism on the side of the door. It seems that we are the first wave of people to leave here. ”
I didn't see any sadness on his face, but looked at us with excitement. I pointed to the gate and said, "Hurry up." Ping Yixi smiled: "Okay." After saying that, we put together all our short arms and barriers, and turned them into a big shield to block our right side, and Ping Yixi and Ping Yi Nan held six small shields to form a big shield and said to us: "Push it." The four of us lowered our heads and pushed hard, and the door was really pushed open by us a little, because I was pushing with my head down, after pushing open a little, I found that the ground was not a stone, but a small hole, I thought to myself, it's broken, I hurriedly grabbed Gan Ning with my left hand, and Ping Yixi on the right with my right hand, and went back with the strength of hard feeding, and a few short arrows flew up my nose.
By the time we fell to the ground, my back was soaking wet. The beating of the heart. It took me a while to reflect. Gan Ning was the first to reflect, patted me on the shoulder and said, "I owe you once." Zhang Laosi behind him also patted me on the shoulder and didn't speak.
Ping Yixi and Ping Yinan, who fell to the ground next to him, both looked at the door with a frightened expression. I stood up and wiped the cold sweat from my head and said, "I wipe it, there is also it underneath?" At this time, the two brothers of the Ping family reflected, stood up and hurriedly said sorry to us, it was their mistake.
I waved my hand and comforted them, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Ping Yidong and the others hurriedly helped their two younger brothers up and asked, "Are you hurt?" Both shook their heads. Ping Yidong knelt down in front of me and kowtowed to me. I helped him up and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Surely you will have a chance to save me when you go in. “
Ping Yidong didn't talk nonsense, and nodded heavily at me. Said to Ping Yixi: "Go and check the gate." Ping Yixi came back to his senses and hurried over to look at the gate. After looking at it for a while, he said, "The left half of this gate is dead, only the right half is active, and there are hidden arrows up and down, left and right." It's good that the boss pulled us out just now, or else... ”
Ping Yidong said: "Then go and dismantle them." Ping Yixi nodded, walked up, he counted the number of dark arrows around him, and then used the shovel and shield to get stuck in the gap of the door, and then kicked the door violently, and fell backwards to the place, only to hear a crackling sound for a while before disappearing.
Ping Yixi stood up and looked at it and said, "This time there will definitely be no more, I will be the first to open the door." After saying that, he took the shield and walked over first. He pushed a crack against the door and threw the torch inside. He looked through the crack in the door for a long time and then said to us, "There is no mechanism at the door, so push the door open." ”
Then a few of us cautiously walked over and pushed the door open. Everyone stood at the gate with Ping Yixi, but they didn't dare to go inside, Ping Yixi was the same as just exploring the gate, the three of them surrounded the city U-shaped and threw torches, picked them up, and walked around this one.
When he left, I observed the whole space, this room is about seventy or eighty square meters, and the walls around it are protruding and heavy stone strips as supporting columns, and the recessed walls are used as a dressing table, and each wall is engraved with blurred handwriting, and I know that it is not a small seal when I look at this thing. And on each recessed stone platform are burned oil lamps and some tattered clay pots, I don't know what they do.
In the middle was a black thing, as if a large stone ball had been buried in the ground, revealing only a sleek surface that was less than a quarter of a quarter. Because it was far away, I didn't see more details clearly. Other than that, there is nothing.
This time, Ping Yixi carefully checked for a long time before coming back: "This time, I promise, there is no mechanism in this house, if there is, I will be killed immediately!" But don't go outside the gate yet, we don't know much about the situation there. After speaking, he pointed to the gate opposite us, which was just a door frame, not a door, and a black hole inside.
Ping Yidong said: "Xiaoxi, you go to the door to look at the point, what else is not to be saved." Ping Yixi nodded and walked over with the broken army barrier. As soon as we heard this, we all began to wander around the house, and Gan Ning looked curiously east and west, as if he was looking for something.
I asked Gan Ning: "Wangcai, what are you looking for?" Gan Ning turned back to me and said, "Lao Tzu's jade pendants have been confiscated, you still won't let me bring some souvenirs back?" I laughed and scolded, "Look at your little bit of talent, who will put good things in the front hall?" They must all be hugging their own masters. ”
After listening to this, Gan Ning instantly lost confidence in the bottles and cans around him, turned around and walked to the big stone on the ground in the middle and asked me, "What is this?" I shook my head, I didn't know. Actually, I was quite curious just now, so after Ping Yixi said that it was safe, I looked in front of this raised big rock.
When I got closer, I realized that it was covered with a stone like a pot lid on the ground, and the whole middle part was like a plate, a little recessed. From the yuan, it's like putting a steamed bun on a plate. Looking around the steamed bun-like stone, it was obvious that there was some residue left behind after the liquid had dried up, just like the patina that had been turned up after the iron sheet had been embroidered.
I hung the dagger a few times, and the dry and warped residue instantly turned to powder. I turned my head and asked Xiaobei, "What kind of dried residue is this?" Xiaobei came over and looked at it and said, "It's blood, but it's mixed with something." This is supposed to be an altar. “
I asked, "Aren't cemeteries the most taboo?" How can an altar for blood sacrifice be set up here? Isn't this a tomb? Xiaobei shook his head and said that he didn't know either. Gan Ning put his hands behind his back and asked, "What is this stone?" Everyone shook their heads.
Anyway, everyone came in to look for souvenirs, not archaeology, so they didn't care, so they moved on. From this frontroom, there is a downward staircase leading to the door. The door was twice as wide as it was when we entered. And after looking at Ping Yixi after throwing the torch, he found that there were only a few sections of this step. The Heike scout trio began to grope their way forward again.
As they walked down with their torches, I realized that it was a much larger space, and it wasn't the usual size. When they went down, they walked on the left and right, but directly in front of them were stone buttresses, and they lay on the buttresses and looked down, because the torches illuminated the area very small, and they saw nothing, and they did not know the depth.
