Chapter 16: Enter the Underground Palace
I don't know how long it took me, but I felt my brain dizzy and then I lost consciousness.
In my sleep, I returned home and saw my father. My father's illness seemed to be cured, and he stood in front of me with his waist straight, blaming me for not going to the grave with the black jacket, and he told me that this tomb was not simple, and that it would kill me. In the dream, I was harshly reprimanded by my father, and I told him that I was trying to treat him.
I was righteously talking to my father, and suddenly I woke up, and a sharp headache reminded me of what had just happened, I was frantically eaten by poisonous insects, am I still alive?
"Little brother, little brother, are you awake?" Ma Xu's voice came, this voice was familiar to me, and I was finally sure that I was not dead.
I covered my head, sat up slowly, and then looked left and right, Ma Xu and Zhao Zhiqiang, as well as the black jacket, they were all there.
Seeing that I woke up, the black jacket cast a relieved look, and he could see that he was relieved, I am not dead, and he doesn't have to be sad how to explain to the official family.
"It's good to wake up, it's okay, is it still painful?" The black jacket came over and cared for me.
I shook my head, signaling that I didn't hurt anywhere, but I couldn't figure it out, just now I used my body to lure the poisonous insects over, and I was gnawed, but how could I be unharmed?
Seeing my doubts, Black Jacket smiled, "Those poisonous insects are dead. ”
"Dead?" I looked at the black jacket in disbelief.
Ma Xu had gotten rid of his fear at this time, ran over all of a sudden, and said cheaply: "Little brother, you are really poisonous, those poisonous insects have bitten you, you are not dead, they are dead, do you say you are poisonous!" ”
When Zhao Zhiqiang heard Ma Xu say this, he also laughed with Ma Xu.
I subconsciously looked around, and sure enough, I saw a lot of blood, I looked at my body in shock, and found that there was no blood, which made me even more confused.
"Those blood are poisonous insects, they bite you, it may be that you eat too many antidote pills, and they will die if they bite you." Black Jacket continued.
This answer also stunned me, my blood can suppress poisonous insects? It seems that those antidote pills just now were not eaten in vain.
I slowly got up from the ground, but my body was so light that I barely stood still. Seeing this, Ma Xu and Zhao Zhiqiang hurriedly ran over to help me.
I took a deep breath, and then told them, "Let's go, let's go to the dungeon, and we will have to go in sooner or later." ”
The group walked slowly towards the dungeon, and soon, we came to the door of the dungeon again.
The stone door of the underground palace was still standing there, but this time no one dared to touch it easily.
To be on the safe side, Ma Xu took out a Luoyang shovel from his backpack and tried it first. He put the Luoyang shovel against the stone gate, and after waiting for a while, he found that the Luoyang shovel was not abnormal, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's okay, now there are no poisonous insects, you can open the door!" Ma Xu said overjoyed.
I nodded, turned my head to look at the black jacket, and the black jacket also nodded, and then instructed Ma Xu: "Open the door." "Among us, Ma Xu is the best at organs, and of course this kind of work must be handed over to him.
Ma Xu inserted the Luoyang shovel back into his backpack, then nodded, ready to open the door.
The door of this underground palace is very particular, generally speaking, there will be a mechanism on it, press the mechanism, and the door of the underground palace will naturally open. But where exactly this mechanism is, it's a question, if you can't find it, even if you die of exhaustion, you don't want to open this door.
Ma Xu picked up a very bright flashlight, and then carefully searched for it on the stone door.
After a while, Ma Xu's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at us and beckoned, motioning for us to come over.
The four of them gathered in front of the stone gate, Ma Xu pointed to a pattern on it, and said proudly: "See, there is a Tai Chi gossip here, I think this is the mechanism button." Ma Xu said, put the flashlight back in his backpack, and then gently pressed the gossip map with his fingers.
At this moment, there was a rumbling noise, and the four of us took a few steps back.
Immediately after, the stone door slowly opened, and the scene inside the underground palace was fully revealed in front of our eyes.
The underground palace is very empty, and the huge palace is empty, only in the center there is a large sarcophagus. Seeing this scene, I slowly took out my bone lamp, walked in front, and the other three people followed me, step by step into the underground palace.
As soon as I walked into the dungeon, I heard a clang behind me, and the stone door closed by itself!
"What the fuck is trying to trap us?" Zhao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and scolded tremblingly.
I shushed and signaled Zhao Zhiqiang not to make a sound, and Zhao Zhiqiang obediently shut up.
I took the bone lamp and took a look around on all sides, and found that this underground palace was actually a hexagonal, with a total of six walls, four of which were carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the other two walls were carved with strange characters.
The hexagonal underground palace, which I saw in the book my father gave me, also conforms to the characteristics of the Tang tomb.
"It seems that this is a Tang Dynasty tomb." The black jacket also saw this, and looked around and said.
I shook my head, and then said in a firm tone: "It won't be that simple, I always feel that the owner of the tomb is misleading us." ”
"Misleading us?" The black jacket was stunned for a moment, staring at me suspiciously.
I didn't speak, but cautiously walked towards the sarcophagus, which was large, and strangely large.
Black Jacket and Ma Xu followed closely behind me, and at this time, I inadvertently saw that the floor under my feet was a little strange, because I had just stepped on a piece, and it was actually a little shaky, was it my delusion?
Seeing that I couldn't stand still, Ma Xu was a little panicked, "Little brother, is there any problem?" ”
I shook my head, "I don't know yet, I always feel weird." ”
"Little brother, don't scare me." Zhao Zhiqiang was also shocked by my actions, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
I took a deep breath and kept my cool and said, "Don't panic, keep walking." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I lifted my feet, and the four of us approached the sarcophagus together, because all the treasures we needed were in this sarcophagus.
"Little brother! Wait! Just as we were concentrating on moving forward, Ma Xu suddenly screamed, and we were forced to stop, and then turned our heads to look at Ma Xu.
I saw that Ma Xu didn't know when he changed direction, he stood at one end of the sarcophagus, staring at a night pearl with glowing eyes, and then said greedily: "Look, this is a good baby!" ”
"Ma Xu, you!" The black jacket stared at Ma Xu with some annoyance, because everyone knew that the things in the dungeon could not be moved, except for the things in the sarcophagus, the others were easy to be taboo if they moved.
"Hey, what are you afraid of, we dare to move the things in the sarcophagus, let alone the outside of this sarcophagus." Ma Xu smiled disapprerovingly, then picked up his sleeve and carefully wiped the pearl of the night.
I opened my mouth and was about to remind Ma Xu not to move, but suddenly I heard a strange sound.
"Bang la, bang lala...... "My heart tightened, is it a poisonous insect again?" Just as I was thinking this, the black jacket suddenly tugged at me and pointed it out to me, and when I looked up, I saw something silver running down the wall.
It's mercury! My heart tightened, and I slowly retreated backwards, but soon I realized that it was useless to retreat anywhere, for the mercury was flowing down from all directions.
"Ma Xu, I told you not to move, but you just won't listen to me!" The black jacket pulled Ma Xu over and blamed.
Ma Xu was stunned by the scene in front of him, and then said tremblingly: "I, I didn't know that this night pearl was a mechanism, I, I just saw the baby, and my heart was ......."
"You're so good at mechanisms, you can't even tell it's mechanisms? You shit! Zhao Zhiqiang also scolded.
"What do you mean by that, you can do it!" Ma Xu shouted unconvinced.
"I'm not good at mechanics!" Zhao Zhiqiang replied.
"I'm good at mechanics, and I also have times when I look away, and it's easy to look away when I see a baby, what's wrong?!"
They actually quarreled one sentence at a time, and my head hurt when I argued, and I yelled: "Don't make any noise!" If you make any more noise, you will die here! ”
