Chapter 225: The Waterhole
There are traces of artificial excavation everywhere in front of you, and even the edges and corners of the walls are carefully carved.
It is enough to see how huge the momentum was when the tomb was cast thousands of years ago, and according to the scene seen on the murals before, at least there were no less than 10,000 people.
"I'm afraid this island has been completely hollowed out."
"Do you say that in the end, Qin Shi Huang really became an immortal?"
At this time, the fat man who was walking in the front suddenly turned his head and asked me and Little White Face, a profound question that I never seemed to think about.
His understanding of Qin Shi Huang only stayed at the unification of the world by the six countries, and then sent 500 boys and girls to cross the world in search of the elixir.
At this time, the little white face of the United States said something incredible.
"I once saw a record of Xianshan seeking medicine in a document, and legend has it that the weather suddenly changed color after they passed through Penglai."
The waves capsized the ship, and the so-called water ghosts were actually the souls of the five hundred boys and girls who died that time.
I looked at the pale face of the little white face in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little hairy in my heart, and then gently patted him on the shoulder with my hand and said.
"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, maybe the water ghost will be attached to you, and when your yang energy is exhausted, it will take your life."
"Where? Where is it? ”
In the deep darkness, the light of three flashlights spread under the steps, and the fat man walked at the front of the line, while Little White Face and I were in charge of breaking the back.
Although this guy had a broken arm a year ago, he still seemed to be obsessed with the Third Mirror he was looking for, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to enter the tomb himself.
A gust of wind whistled through the tomb, blowing on the face as uncomfortable as a pinprick.
The walls on both sides gradually widen and smooth, and we don't seem to stop going down all the way, and who knows if we will go straight to the bottom of the sea.
The fat man picked up the flashlight and looked left and right on the slippery steps, when he accidentally fell and rolled down with his backpack.
"Ganzi!"
He shouted loudly to remind me to pull him, but when I reacted, he had already slid down the steps into the darkness beneath his feet.
Seeing this, I hurriedly followed as hard as I could, until the ground in front of me gradually flattened, and the air around me seemed to smell extremely dry.
The fat man waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then sat up from the ground, but the next second when he just wanted to get up, his face instantly became a little embarrassed.
I motioned with my eyes to ask him what had happened, and the little white face behind me was also trembling with fright, as if the body that had just been filled with phosphorus powder was still echoing in my mind.
He subconsciously looked at the raised green brick sitting under his buttocks, and he didn't know if it was because of his weight.
The entire four-cornered tomb brick actually fell two or three centimeters deep, and then there was a crisp sound of chains turning in everyone's ears.
"Click."
This strange movement is all too familiar to me, it is the sound of the tomb mechanism being triggered.
Before the fat man could react, the delicate yellow sand above his head instantly surged, flowing down like a pour.
This is the most taboo quicksand mechanism in the inverted bucket world, and in an instant, the fat man in front of him has become a "living person" in the sand, and he doesn't even have time to react.
"Fatty!"
I burst into a rage, almost with all my might, plunging my whole body into the sand, looking for the fat man's body, hoping to drag him out of the sand.
The little white face next to him was almost stupid, and he sat on the ground with his eyes looking at the yellow sand pouring above his head.
It was also the first time I experienced the feeling of being empowered by yellow sand, and it was like a brush with death, and the tiny grains of sand were specially fried to be as smooth as a liquid.
Since ancient times, I don't know how many tomb robbers have died on this tomb protection mechanism.
At the critical moment, I fumbled for the fat man's arm, and then I felt that someone was tugging on my legs.
When I turned around, I found that it was the little white face who had just been scared silly, and finally came to his senses, although this guy only had his left arm left, he still gritted his teeth and dragged me and the fat man out of the quicksand.
The moment of life and death couldn't help but increase a little tacit understanding, and it also made me and the fat man look at it with admiration.
The three of us sat beside the quicksand, gasping for air, and the deathly silence around us seemed to erode into our souls.
"Ganzi, did we feel that something was missing when we came in here from the thief hole?"
At the moment, we are not in a hurry to hurry, after all, it is easy to lose our lives if we are too flustered, just like the fat man just inadvertently sat on the trap of the quicksand mechanism.
He pulled out a crumpled box of cigarettes from his arms and handed it over, and I couldn't help but take a big puff of it.
I remembered that I was still frightened just now, and I only felt that my heart was beating wildly in my chest.
"Terracotta?"
I subconsciously replied to the fat man, thinking about it carefully, I saw a lot of traps and unbelievable murals on the wall along the way, but it seemed that some of the marked buildings of the Qin tomb were missing.
Just like the terracotta warriors and horses referred to in the fat man's words, perhaps because the environment was too dark, they were ignored by the three of them.
The environment in front of me seemed to be different, and the light of the flashlight shot out as far as the eye could see, and even the approximate range could not be seen.
I can only vaguely see the green bricks that reflect the dark light under my feet.
The three of them groped their way forward, and it was hard to imagine what dangers and unknowns awaited us in front of us.
For a moment I felt right about the decision to leave my daughter in the care of Alano because, quite exaggeratingly, I had a strong premonition.
I'm afraid that someone will stay in the tomb completely and never go back.
"Ganzi."
"There are no outsiders in this tomb, if I can't come back this time, please give this letter to Alainor."
Taking advantage of the gap when the little white face of the United States was hiding in the corner and shivering and peeing, the fat man suddenly said this sentence in my ear.
I didn't react for a moment, and I thought it was the unjust spirit in the tomb who was doing something.
"If you kid wants to confess, just wait until you get out of the tomb alive and go to find Alano, that little Nizi still yelled last time that she wanted to be Xiaoya's stepmother."
"What!"
"You'd better not beat her idea, besides, brother, I've been single for eight years!"
Looking at the fat man's serious expression after turning his head in the dark, I couldn't help but laugh a little, where has this guy's once and restless personality gone?
Even the "fat" I have always been proud of has lost a lot of weight in a year, and I used to be able to fit almost two of me in that body shape.
The walls were carved with strange patterns and symbols, and as we fumbled in the dark, we finally understood how much area there was.
It is conservatively estimated to be a few hundred square meters, but the faint sound of water flowing in the center seems to imply that there is a huge pool of water hidden in the darkness in front of you.
