Chapter 18: Plug Stone
When I came back to my senses, I found that the chanting had disappeared and that there was a dead silence all around me.
When I saw Liang Zi smoking in front of the plug stone, I knew I had a problem. The usual plug stone is two or four bulky stones used to block the tomb passage.
In this case, as long as a small hole is carved out of the top plug stone, and then a rope is worn on the small hole of the plug stone, and several people pull the rope together, and it can be pulled out.
But after observing the plug stone, I realized that it was a whole plug stone, which can also be said to be a stone wall, and there was not even a place to insert a detonator in the gap, and I was immediately at a loss.
This is, Liang Zi smoked a cigarette next to him and said slowly: "If this plugged stone is blocked from the inside, there must be something behind the stone wall, in that case, we have to find another way, but what kind of craftsman will block himself inside?" Therefore, this plug must have been blocked from the outside! β
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, the area of the stone wall is at most the same as the area of the secret passage, if it is blocked from the outside, there must be nothing behind the stone wall to support, the whole stone wall wants to be immovable, it must be embedded, since the bottom of the stone wall is partially embedded in the ground of the secret passage, there will be a gap of the same height at the top of the stone wall, so you can choose a detonator with a small amount of explosives to break it!
I then took out the dagger and hammered it on the top of the plug stone, and sure enough, it seemed to be an impermeable whole plug stone, but the top was covered up with lime, and after a few clicks, I pulled out a gap three or four fingers wide on the top of the plug stone.
Liang Zi selected a detonator with the smallest amount of medicine, placed it on the top of the plug stone, and after igniting it, the two of us hid far away and waited.
There was a thudββ, and a muffled thud was followed by a hole the size of a noodle jar at the top of the stone. The entrance to the cave was accompanied by white smoke from the explosion of the detonator, and an eerie cool air rushed outside.
When I was about to drill into the hole, Liang Zi stopped me, only to see Liang Zi polish a fire fold, and threw it into the hole, he said, one is to see if this secret room has been closed for a long time, to see if there is oxygen, so as not to suffocate to death when you go in, and the second is because of the sound of chanting from the secret room, throw a fire fold into it to explore the truth and see if there is a mechanism or abnormality.
After a while, the fire fold was still lit inside, and it seemed that there should be no problem.
After confirming the safety, I grabbed the entrance of the cave, my head first stretched in, a cold wind with a fishy smell of decay came to my face, and the body couldn't help but hit a spirit, fortunately, there was a fire fold in the secret room, although it was thrown far away, I couldn't see anything clearly, but it was a kind of psychological comfort in the visual sense, I could roughly see that the floor of the secret room was not very high from the hole, but the hole was relatively small, I could only crawl in, and then prepare to get into it with both hands first.
When my hands hit the ground, my hands were not touching the ground, but pressed against a soft, cool thing, and it was still a living thing, because I could clearly feel the body's body rising and falling with my breath.
I was in a cold sweat behind my back, and I was stunned in place. Suddenly, a fishy-smelling liquid hit my face, and I don't know what sprayed on my face.
At this time, most of my body was out of the hole, my hands were on the ground, my legs were still in the hole, in this embarrassing position of drilling a dog hole, it was impossible to retreat, I could only take advantage of the situation to pull my legs out of the hole and roll to the side.
However, as the donkey rolled around, I felt my back and elbows hit the soft stuff in many places.
Suddenly, my brain exploded, it seems that there is more than one of these things, and they are all around!
I hurriedly tried to take out the flashlight from my waist to see what the hell this thing was, but I didn't care about it, and I was stupid, and I didn't know when the flashlight fell off when I was tumbling just now.
"Liangzi, there's something in here, come and save me!" I looked at the entrance of the cave expectantly, shouting hysterically.
But after a long time of not seeing Liang Zi respond, I was really going crazy.
Then I screamed twice, and by the faint light of the fire in the middle of the chamber, I saw that the entrance to the cave finally seemed to move.
I was so excited that I went up and pulled the beam at the entrance of the cave, but I felt a wet body.
I looked back, and where the hell was Liangzi, it was a giant python with red eyes and a long snake core looking at me!
Liangzi was eaten by this snake! A thought came to mind.
Crazy, I'm completely crazy......
