Chapter 157
Mei Shuang vomited on the side, how could she have the heart to open the back door again, Nangong Nuo patiently waited for her to be more comfortable after vomiting, and then ordered someone to put Mei Shuang in front of the stone door.
Meishuang waved her hand, signaling to wait.
Sure enough, after a while, the stone door opened automatically from the bottom up.
After the stone door was opened, it could be seen that it was pitch black inside, only a thick fog was filled, for fear that something ominous would run out inside, and everyone would have climbed high and low to hide their bodies.
After a while, there was no movement.
Nangong Nuo immediately ordered a few people to step forward and hold torches to take care of what.
I didn't think that the light of the torch couldn't shine inside, as if the mist could absorb light, but I saw a layer of white mist churning.
Nangong Nuo twisted his eyebrows and asked Mei Shuang, "What's inside?" ”
Mei Shuang shook her head weakly and said coldly, "How do I know, according to our agreement, I am only responsible for opening the door, as for whether the things inside can be taken away, it depends on your creation!"
Nangong Nuo nodded, the silver mask shone with a cold glow in the firelight, and his eyes were as dark as the sea, "Miss Shuang, someone has to take the lead to take a look, this coachman next to you is a good hand in the jungle, and this envoy of the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom, you might as well let them go and take a look first." ”
Meishuang was speechless, and finally threw out two words between her teeth, "Shameless!" ”
Cong Fei and An Riyan walked over, and Meishuang got up, "Count me in, let's go in." If there is any treasure, His Royal Highness King Zhao should not regret that we took the lead. ”
Nangong Nuo hesitated slightly, and when he saw Mei Shuang's move, he decided that there would not be much danger inside, so he beckoned someone to follow.
When they were about to enter the fog, Mei Shuang, Cong Fei and An Riyan took out a quenched face towel from their bodies to cover their faces, for fear of inhaling poisonous gas.
Nangong Nuo's subordinates also followed suit, taking out their own equipment and covering their mouths and noses.
As soon as she entered the fog, Meishuang suddenly felt like she had arrived in a fairyland, and the mist around her was not as thick as it seemed from the outside, but like wisps of streamers in the bright light of the torches. It's just that it's too cold inside, but after a while, I shivered all over, and my feet were smooth and smooth, and when I looked over, it turned out to be a huge bluestone brick that was extremely smooth.
Several people were afraid that there would be a mechanism on the stone bricks, so they stood cautiously on the edge, and no one had the courage to take the second step.
After a long time in the fog, the fog gradually faded until it finally dissipated somewhat.
"It seems that the space here has been closed for too long, and the temperature difference between it and the outside is large, so the fog has not dispersed for a long time, but now it has dispersed."
After the fog cleared, everyone noticed that it was a large hall.
In the middle is a white jade statue, high and tall, sitting in a posture, looking down with both eyes. With a red gold crown on his head and a yellow robe, the statue is vivid, Mei Shuang looked at it, but she didn't know which dynasty it was the emperor.
But Nangong Nuo and Cong Fei saw that their faces suddenly changed color.
Cong Fei immediately knelt down in fear, and said, "The younger Cong Fei visited Gaozu, and he had no intention of disturbing Gaozu, and hoped that Gaozu would forgive his sins!" ”
Although Nangong Nuo's face changed, he did not kneel down, but only stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the statue arrogantly.
Mei Shuang and An Riyan looked at each other, and An Riyan shook his head, obviously not knowing the ancestor of the Great Qin State.
Meishuang was speechless, what kind of drama is this Nima?
Obviously, it was said that Gaozu's treasure was inexplicably lost here, why did Gaozu's statue still appear here?
However, she was not too surprised because she already knew the words on the small human skin.
However, Nangong Nuo silently stepped aside after staring at the white jade statue for a while. And when his subordinates saw the statue of Gao Zu, they were all panicked.
They thought the same as Meishuang, if the treasure disappeared here inexplicably, how could there be a statue of Gaozu here? Moreover, the statue of Gaozu is vivid, standing here like a living person, could it be that Gaozu wants to take care of this treasure himself?
Because of the statue of Gao Zu, everyone present was thinking in every way, and a panicked feeling spread among them, and sensing that the feelings of his subordinates were different, Nangong Nuo reprimanded, "What are you panicking about!" ”
He said in a low voice, "Gao Zu has been fighting horses all his life, conquering the southwestern vassal countries, and burying the treasure here, he must hope that one day this treasure will see the light of day and protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Qin Kingdom!" Now that this king is fortunate to see it, how can he watch Gao Zu's hard work go down the drain? ”
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the tone was abrupt, which immediately aroused the ambition of the entourage who was still confused.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Nangong Nuo, he made a great worship to the statue of Gaozu and asked Gaozu for his blessing!
"It seems that it is not that the treasure is lost here, but that Gaozu deliberately buried the treasure here, but why did Gaozu choose this place instead of transporting the treasure directly to the capital? This place is already dangerous and vicious, and it is difficult for idlers to set foot in it, but Gao Zu still builds more dangerous mechanisms, it seems that this treasure is extraordinary! ”
Mei Shuang circled around the statue of Gaozu and muttered to herself.
Nangong Nuo naturally agreed with Mei Shuang's words, if it wasn't extremely precious, why did Gao Zu go to such great lengths?
On the contrary, An Riyan, who was silently observing the statue of Gaozu on the side, faintly heard that there seemed to be an off-string sound in Meishuang's words.
Mei Shuang thought silently for a while, and when she turned around, she happened to see a shadow flashing on the silver mask on Nangong Nuo's face, and she hurriedly turned around, only to see where the torch was shining, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But the shadow reflected on the silver mask, she was absolutely not mistaken.
Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly told the people who were still kneeling and kowtowing on the ground to get up, "Everyone be careful, there seems to be something in here." ”
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone went into a state of alert.
Nangong Nuo also saw the abnormality in Fang Cai Meishuang's eyes, and immediately asked everyone to form an encirclement. This way the illumination has a larger range and is safer to back towards.
After waiting for a while, there seemed to be no movement, but in this stagnant silence, everyone still tacitly felt a trace of unusual atmosphere.
During the waiting time, Mei Shuang's heart beat a little abnormally, and a light sweat appeared in her palms, only the statue of Gao Zu in the empty hall was weird enough, plus the shadow reflected by the silver mask just now, although it was only a fleeting moment, but now Mei Shuang always felt that there were a pair of eyes in the dark watching their every move.
To be honest, as an archaeology enthusiast, Meishuang has read a lot of books in this area, and even read a lot of novels with all kinds of true and false novels about entering the underground palace to dig tombs, but it is the first time to really be in such an experience as the underground palace.
It's not that she's afraid of any danger here, but she's mainly afraid that if she accidentally turns around and sees that kind of terrifying restrictive picture of a female ghost, her little heart will stop beating instantly.
However, this time the people who came to find the treasures of the previous dynasty were not here to rob the tombs, and there is a fundamental difference in nature from the dead zombies or the corpses, ghosts and many other phenomena that cannot be explained by science, so at most it is an uncommon creature no matter how bad it is, all in all, there should be no ghosts and other illusory things. Even the god-like "curse" of the Donglai Kingdom is just a Gu poison that can be seen and touched in the end.
Thinking about it like this, Mei Shuang's heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
She turned her eyes to look at An Rihiko beside her, and said in her heart that the treasure came from the southwest, even if there was an eccentric An Rihiko who must have won the true inheritance of Queen Himiko, he could deal with it.
I comforted myself many times, and I was not so scared in my heart.
Dozens of people surrounded Nangong Nuomeishuang and the others in the middle, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Nangong Nuo also looked around vigilantly, Mei Shuang was less than two feet away from him, to be honest, after being stabbed by Nangong Nuo's words, she completely lost her only good impression of the man in front of her, fortunately, she was not very tempted by him, otherwise it would be strange if a heart was not broken into eighteen petals!
She deliberately wanted to stay away from Nangong Nuo, and inadvertently looked up, only to see that something seemed to be slowly falling down on the dome paved with bluestone a few feet high, and when she got closer, she saw that the black shadow was like a black wool, but the bottom was slightly squirming.
With Mei Shuang's exclamation, everyone looked up, only to see that this kind of black wool-like thing began to emerge from the cracks of the bluestone bricks, looking like black snakes from a distance.
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what to do.
An Riyan didn't expect to recognize this thing, and his face changed slightly, "This is the root of a tree unique to the southwest, which has strong growth, and is extremely toxic. The air doesn't flow here, so it's all dormant, and now we're coming in to get them grounded. Be careful, everyone, don't get touched by them. ”
"After a while, they will hang down, and it will be difficult not to touch them then."
The group couldn't think about it, and rushed to the back of the statue of Gaozu with torches.
After a while, I saw those hanging roots touching the ground, and everyone was dumbfounded, what is this? Stretch freely, can you stretch so long?
It's just that there is one detail that Meishuang remembers firmly, that is, when a tentacle touched the statue, it shrank as if it was burned, and then stayed in place and stopped moving.
It seems that the statue is indeed a little strange.
The torches lit up the empty hall, and it seemed that at the end, the people were shining around with torches, but nothing was found. Strangely, the back of the statue was like a dividing line, and the black tendrils were only in the front half, but not in the back.
After being safe for the time being, Nangong Nuo asked Mei Shuang, "What do you think should be done here?" ”
Mei Shuang said angrily, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, are you the ancestor of the year?" Are you very familiar with every plant and tree here? Also, are you looking for treasure or am I looking for treasure? If I find it, will all the treasure be mine? ”
was robbed by Mei Shuang, Nangong Nuo was not annoyed, of course he knew that the only way out of the current situation was cooperation, and Mei Shuang was just quick to talk for a while.
However, Meishuang's appearance of puffing out her cheeks and raising her willow eyebrows is not interesting.
He smiled "sigh", "Miss Frost, I'm just asking, what are you anxious about?" If I hadn't covered those vampire bats on my side, I'm afraid you would be in danger. ”
It's okay not to mention it, but Mei Shuang is even more angry when she mentions it, "If Nima hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have opened this door rashly!" ”
Mei Shuang's eyes glanced at the statue when she said this, and suddenly her eyes lit up, could it be that those roots were protecting the statue?
