Chapter 70: The Vermilion Gate
After listening to Pang Xiaodou's words, the attitude of the two brothers and sisters who wanted to enter the tomb at sunset and dawn of the stars was still very firm, and he had nothing to say. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, there was no trace of Oliver's father when he climbed to the top of the peak and overlooked the entire Hammer Mountain, and now the only place where he could be found and complete the hidden mission was the mysterious tomb.
"In that case, you all be careful when you go in, and it's best not to leave my side for a moment."
Pang Xiaodou instructed the two of them, and then waved the [Yaksha] in his hand.
"Boom!"
A black crack appeared, instantly sucking the three of them into it.
As soon as his eyes adjusted to the environment inside, Pang Xiaodou heard the sunset Xishan say nervously and excitedly: "Brother Taolu, is this the legendary mysterious tomb?" It's just gorgeous, and the people buried in it must at least be the level of the princes in ancient times. ”
"It's okay to look at the stuff in here, but try not to reach for it, or it might trigger some dangerous mechanism."
Pang Xiaodou reminded with a serious expression, and then began to look at the place where they fell.
This is a rectangular tomb of about 20 square meters, the four corners of the tomb are placed in 4 stone carving lanterns, at this moment the lantern is burning with a dusk flame, it stands to reason that this kind of old tomb, even if there is a lantern, it should have run out of lamp oil to extinguish, but this is a game after all, so it is understandable to render the atmosphere of the scene.
Pang Xiaodou went over to check it, but didn't find any organs, so he didn't care about it anymore.
In addition to these 4 stone carving lanterns, the ground in the middle of the tomb is also inlaid with a whole round stone slab, which is full of inscriptions, Pang Xiaodou walked over and looked at it carefully by the light of the lantern, those inscriptions are all words that he can't understand, and naturally he doesn't understand what it means.
Abandoning the stone slab, Pang Xiaodou swept the walls around the tomb again.
Directly facing their wall, there was a passage that was about 3 meters high and 2 meters wide, and the passage was sloping downward, and I don't know where it leads.
The remaining three walls are filled with colorful and ornate murals.
The murals here are not as abstract as the murals in the small tomb in the Ratchet Forest, and Pang Xiaodou looked at them from left to right and saw a general meaning.
The above should be a war: one side is attacking the city and the other is defending the city, and the number of people besieging the city is obviously much less than the number of defending the city, but among the besieging party there is a figure that is much taller than the average person, who should be the leader of the besieging party, and finally under the leadership of this leader, the besieging party actually broke through the city with fewer victories, and the banner of the besieging party was replaced on the city wall.
And under the city wall, the banners of the defenders were torn apart, and the corpses of countless people were lying, judging by the clothing, these corpses were the people of the defenders.
"It seems that the mural in this tomb is a pictorial version of the epitaph, and the owner of this tomb is likely to be related to the tall figure in the mural, after all, the epitaph was originally used to sing praises of virtue."
And the words engraved on the round stone slab on the ground are probably the text version of the epitaph, right? It's a pity that from beginning to end, the person in the mural only shows his back, and there is no positive image, which doesn't seem to make sense, right? ”
"Besides, there is no twin-tailed scorpion in this mural, so doesn't this mysterious tomb have anything to do with the mysterious curse on my body?"
Pang Xiaodou guessed the identity of the person in the mural in his heart, and there were many places that he couldn't understand.
But until there is no definite information to confirm, speculation is always just speculation, and no matter how much you want, it is just a matter of eggs.
So Pang Xiaodou took a brief look twice, and saw that there was nothing other valuable in this tomb, so he said to the two brothers and sisters who were also very interested in the mural: "Let's go, let's go down and see if we can find anything valuable." ”
"Oh, what a ......"
The two brothers and sisters couldn't get enough of it, they saw such a gorgeous mural for the first time, obviously they hadn't seen enough, but when they heard Pang Xiaodou say this, they could only follow.
So the group of three entered the only passage and continued to advance deeper underground.
This passage is like a zigzag staircase in an ordinary building, winding down with steps.
The three of them walked and walked, but found nothing but a stone lantern at the corner of every two stairs that was exactly the same as the one seen in the previous tomb.
After walking like this for more than ten minutes, they finally reached the bottom of the stairs.
In front of us was the same passage of the same length and width, but flat and straight.
The three of them followed suit, and walked along the passage for a few more minutes, and finally saw a vermilion lacquer gate at the end of the passage.
This vermilion lacquer gate further confirms Pang Xiaodou's guess about the noble identity of the tomb owner.
In the ancient days of the Celestial Empire, it was not that anyone who wanted to paint their own family in vermilion could paint it vermilion, it had to be given by a genius to do it, representing the highest courtesy of the Son of Heaven to this family, otherwise even if you have money, you can't mess around, unless you want to be punished by the Nine Clans.
"It's just that I haven't heard of anyone who will bring the vermilion lacquer gate into the tomb, this is basically a matter of red and white, and the owner of the tomb is really a master who wants to be different in everything......
Pang Xiaodou thought silently in his heart.
Xingchen Dawn couldn't help but hug his brother's arm, and whispered a little nervously: "Brother, don't you think this door is particularly panicked?" As soon as I saw it, I panicked. ”
"It seems that there is a point, mainly because this color appears in the tomb, right? It looks like the door of a haunted house in a horror movie. ”
Sunset Xishan also said, "But what's this, it's just a door that won't move, you wait here, brother go and push it open for you to see." ”
As he spoke, Sunset Xishan saw that nothing had happened so far when he entered the mysterious tomb, and he had long forgotten Pang Xiaodou's previous warning, and walked towards the vermilion lacquer gate with great strides.
"Sunset, come back! Don't move! ”
Pang Xiaodou saw that the sunset Xishan had already walked in front, and hurriedly shouted.
"Brother Taolu, it's really okay...... Yes!! ”
Sunset Xishan didn't want to lose face in front of his sister, so he looked back and smiled with a relaxed expression as he walked.
Who knew that he was only halfway through speaking, but somehow, he suddenly screamed, and his body suddenly became short, as if he was about to sink into the flat and hard rocky ground for no reason!
