Chapter Twenty-Eight: Speculation on Long Jing
I don't know what to think about the 50 kilograms of equipment per person, but if I take it all the way, I won't be able to run in case of any danger.
But if you don't carry it, you can't do it, in case you are trapped underground for more than ten days, eating, drinking, and lighting are problems, so you have to bring it.
When we arrived at the top of the altar, we found a puzzle lock, and after a tiger's operation, a groove appeared.
You don't need to look much to know that it's another trap lock, and it needs to use the bronze seal I used before, and my bronze seal has been lost in the previous tomb.
But Victoria also has a jade one, put it up, the light is dazzling, and in the broad daylight, it looks like night around them, which shows how bright this light is.
Then there was a jolt under his feet, and it was obvious that the stone door or something like the machine door had been opened.
We looked around the top and found that there was no entrance at all.
At this time, Alice pointed down and said, "Is that right?" β
The rest of us looked down and saw that there was a black hole at the bottom of the bottom of the pyramid altar.
They all looked at each other, a little speechless, and they wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.
Because we finally put 50 kilograms of equipment on our backs on the altar, but the entrance was under the altar, isn't this fooling our stupid son to play?
was tricked by the altar, and he couldn't get angry, so he had to carry it honestly.
"Captain, there's a hole here, too!" Phoebe also discovers a hole to the left of the pyramid altar.
"Take a look around!" Victoria commanded.
Phoebe and Luna hopped into the car, circled around the pyramid, and came back, "The remaining three directions, each with an entrance. β
"What to do? Divide the troops? I asked Victoria.
Victoria's brow furrowed for a long time, as if she was thinking about the gains and losses of dividing the troops.
In fact, it is not impossible to divide the troops, at present, we have a total of just eight people, a hole, two people, whether it is the number of people, or combat effectiveness, it is enough.
Victoria shook her head and said, "No, let's go together, we made a mistake, it's a big deal to come back and change one." β
I very much agree with Victoria's approach, because I've seen a lot of disasters, horror and other movies, once the army is divided, someone must get a box lunch, and people are safest together.
So I agreed, and the people of Victoria's team naturally would not disobey Victoria's orders, so Wang Sheng and Liu Wei had no reason to object.
So everyone chose a nearby entrance to enter.
"It's dark in here!" I was the first to go in, and I went deepest, so I turned around and said.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of stones rubbing, followed by a loud "bang", and at the same time it was pitch black.
"Groove~" I immediately scolded.
"Whew~" A burning stick lit up in front of me, the smell was smoky, and the fire almost blinded my eyes.
"What about the hair? How many times? "I yelled at Alice with great displeasure that she had been like this since the first grave, and still is.
Alice glared at me fiercely, and then stomped on me hard.
"What now? The way back is blocked! "I couldn't get anything out of Alice, so I turned around and asked Victoria.
Wang Sheng and Serena turned on at the same time, a hand-cranked lantern.
This thing is very useful on a tomb, although the scope is limited, but it can be used for a long time
use, unlike incendiary sticks and flashlights, which are consumables.
Phoebe shook her head at everyone after trying a few times and finding that she couldn't open the stone door.
Serena stepped forward to check it and then nodded, "A little more explosives, there is no problem with exploding." β
"Shall we blow it up, or should we take a dip inside?" I asked knowingly, and the reason why I asked was that we had better blow open the stone door and get out.
But the rest of the people obviously didn't think so, and Alice had even walked more than ten meters forward.
After a moment of contemplation, Victoria decided: "Go on, it's really not okay, it's not too late to come back." Luna, Alice, you two put on night vision devices, pay more attention, Phoebe, your palace, I'll take the lead, everyone continue. β
After Victoria gave the order, there was nothing to retreat from.
I had to follow along, but what I didn't know was that if I blew up the stone gate according to my idea, we would find that a large number of people had entered here from the other three gates.
The huge stone staircase was so long that we couldn't see the bottom, and we walked down the stone staircase for an hour, but we didn't see the bottom.
"No more! No more! Gotta take a break, I'm dying of exhaustion! "I was leaning against the wall, I couldn't even speak, and it was no exaggeration that I was drenched in sweat and my panties were wet.
"You are a big man, can you stop saying no, no, no, it's really useless!" Alice said angrily.
All of them turned their heads to Alice mechanically, like cameras, with disdainful glances.
"Hey your sister, if you didn't have to let Lao Tzu help you carry things, would Lao Tzu be tired like a dog?" I yelled.
Since this goods, the eldest aunt, with soft feet and sore legs, and can't move her back, asked Lao Tzu to help her carry something weighing forty kilograms, which is equivalent to me carrying one hundred and eighty pounds of things, plus more than one hundred pounds of myself, directly more than three hundred pounds, it is not easy to walk for an hour, and I still say cool words.
"Okay, let's rest!" Victoria ordered.
Everyone is actually tired, and anyone who carries more than 100 pounds of things and walks for an hour can't carry it.
I gasped, put down my weight, and was about to sit down against the wall and get some rest.
But I suddenly found that there seemed to be something on the wall that I touched with my hand, as if it was a depression.
I called Wang Sheng: "Take a picture on the wall!" β
We brought a lot of lanterns, two for each person, but just in case, we didn't turn them all on, just one in front and one in the back.
One of them was in Wang Sheng's hand, and when he heard me speak, he took a picture on the wall.
Because they heard my command, everyone looked at the wall curiously.
It turned out that there were murals on the walls.
"There's a mural!" Luna exclaimed.
Everyone is watching, and I am watching, and the content seems to be the origin of the Mongols.
The lines on the screen are simple, and there is no text description, of course, even if there is, I can't understand it.
But the general meaning can still be understood through the murals, green oxen and white horses, a man and a woman, a riverside encounter, and then there are Mongolians.
Mountains, eagles, giant trees, countless people worship on the ground, this should be a totem of sacrifice and worship.
What follows is the battle scene, which seems to be the classic battle of Genghis Khan.
There was even a map of the territory of Mongolia, from the vassal of the Jin State, and then a vast expanse that surpassed the Jin State
Territory.
Finally, there is the death of Genghis Khan, who died on the way to the west, the same as recorded in history.
"Look here, here, legend has it that after Genghis Khan's death, a sacred tree was cut down, and then hollowed out to make a shrub, and the way of burial was vertical burial! That's exactly right! I exclaimed as I watched.
"Look here, just like the legend, after the burial, ten thousand horses galloped and completely flattened the burial place. There is a record of killing camels to remember the place! "I exclaimed, I really saw the mural of someone killing camels.
But the next mural shocked me even more, when a cloud appeared and buried everyone.
The mural ends here, but it doesn't end there.
Instead, there was a strange scene, that is, a coffin-like tree, entrenched in a dragon.
"This γγγγγγ What do you mean? I already had the answer in my mind, but I still couldn't believe it.
"Genghis Khan is a dragon? And looking at this meaning, it seems to be alive! Alice leaned over and pressed her face against the wall.
"What the hell are you, don't talk nonsense and be scary!" I don't know why, but I said with a little fear.
"What the hell am I talking nonsense? On the mural, that's how it was painted, you're blind! Alice was furious and slapped me in the face.
"If you hadn't come to the eldest aunt, I'd have to beat you!" I said in my heart.
"Don't worry about it, you'll know when you arrive, anyway, we need to find Long Jing." Victoria spoke out to stop the argument.
That's true, Victoria and the others only have a chance to survive if they get the dragon crystal, otherwise, the mysterious guy who calls himself Mr. Wang will definitely not give them the antidote, and they can only be eaten alive by the undead Gu worms in the end.
"Hey, you say, why did that Mr. Wang do this?" I suddenly asked a question that had puzzled me for a long time.
"Who knows? Maybe he has a hobby of collecting dragon crystals! "Alice is talking nonsense again.
According to what Qiu Chuji said, it can be guessed that this Mr. Wang should be a member of the Wang family. The Wang family built the tombs of the national fortunes for the emperors of the founding dynasties, nominally to prolong the national fortunes, but in fact it seems to be stealing the national fortunes.
Dragon Crystal should be condensed by the fortune of the country, and now that so many years have passed, it should be time to harvest. Wang Sheng suddenly frowned and said a very likely possibility.
"Groove, your surname is Wang, can't it be your family!" I suddenly jumped up, pounced on Wang Sheng, and said jokingly.
Wang Sheng pushed me: "My mother won't let me play with fools, you get away." β
"Quite possibly, this speculation is most likely at the moment." Victoria said.
"But what do you think he's collecting this dragon crystal for? It can't be some big secret, right? Like destroying humanity and the like! Luna asked suddenly, innocently.
Although this question is naΓ―ve, it gives everyone a revelation, that is, the mysterious Mr. Wang will never look for Long Jing for no reason, there must be a big secret.
"I really can't say, he is so mysterious, so vicious a person, maybe he really wants to destroy the human race, not to mention anything else, just the immortal Gu worm, it is not something that the human race can resist at present." I chimed in.
"Maybe he just wants to destroy the dragon crystal and protect the human race!" At this moment, Alice suddenly said faintly, her tone was unusually strange, as if she had true feelings.
