Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 29: Eight Coffins
Lao Li Tou said: "It's all a little trouble, at least compared with this tomb, there is a world of difference, the real big fight Li Xun still has too little experience, but unfortunately he can't come this time, otherwise it will be a good opportunity to see it." ”
Lao Zhou said: "Don't say it, their methods this time are really unexpected, the information given above is to enter the flail road from the birth gate, and then connect the labyrinth into the mirror feng shui hall." Last time, a lot of people went through, but I didn't expect them to find another way, enter through the wounded door, and arrive here, I have to admire the young people for their ideas. ”
Another person said: "Don't underestimate these young people, don't mention Luo Jin, Liu Sanyan, who is known as the three-eyed treasure in Beijing, is also a number of people, but this person has no teacher to lead the way, and he has learned all kinds of things, and the road has gone astray." And the young man who was specially cared for from above, don't have any conflicts with him. ”
I listened quietly to their discussion, probably tired and resting there. Listening to them, it should be the older generation, and I don't know what their purpose is?
There is detailed information about this ancient tomb, which was given by "above", and each of us knows something, it should be the group behind the scenes that Miss Luo hinted at many times.
Then I heard the sound of a lighter, it was supposed to be smoking, but I didn't discuss it anymore, and after a while the old Li Tou urged them to continue, and then I heard them gliding down, and soon passed the stone cave.
I crept up to the entrance of the cave and looked down, only to see four dim lights, presumably covered with a cloth. They slid down lightly, very quickly.
Their purpose didn't seem to be for the Ming Weapon here, and they didn't think about the meaning of the Bagua Bridge to take the Ming Device, so they slipped directly to the bottom.
This also gives me a rough idea of the height of this stone pillar, I am less than 20 meters away from the top of the stone pillar, and there should be about 30 meters from the bottom, that is to say, this stone pillar is about 50 meters high, quite 16 or 7 stories high, no wonder we can't shine on the bottom at the top.
They didn't take the rope away when they went down, maybe it was too high to take it, or they kept it and left it later.
I couldn't hear their conversation below, they probed around for a while, and at last went in one direction, but to my strange thing, they walked crookedly, and after a few steps they turned a corner, and at last they came to the other side of the stone cave, and I could no longer see them.
I waited quietly for another half an hour, and when I was sure that they had really gone far, I decided to go down as well.
Am I really not sure that I will find the whereabouts of Xiaomu and them, and stay in this stone cave to die? And I don't want to stay in this environment for a moment.
Shaking the safety rope, I took out the cat's paw on the other end, tried several times, and finally hooked the rope they kept. I tied the buckle to the rope that I had pulled in, tied myself firmly, and then slowly moved sideways, until the rope was vertical, and then slowly slid down.
It took me nearly twenty minutes to reach the ground in embarrassment, and my palms were so numb that I could barely make a fist, the wound had already cracked, and the sleeves were stained red with blood, and I looked miserable.
It's a miracle to be able to climb down, but compared to my hands, the heat in my body worries me, I can be sure that the ghost mother's blood is poisonous, but I don't know if there is any salvation, it stands to reason that the corpse is so poisonous, as long as the ghost mother's blood is one-tenth of the toxicity, I would have hung up a long time ago, and I can't figure out that I can still survive until now.
What's worse is that the flashlight is completely dead, but fortunately, there are still a few cold light sticks in the backpack, so don't worry about the lighting for the time being.
I took one out and tapped it on the stone pillar a few times, and the cold light gradually brightened, and I could barely see the bottom of the corner.
This is a Bagua Array, with the Yin and Yang lines as the road, and the rest of the place is full of water, and I don't know how deep, and the stone pillar is in the center of the Bagua Array.
This made me dumbfounded, I don't know much about gossip at all, isn't this also particular? What will happen if you run around?
No wonder I watched them walk up and down in a zigzag way, it turned out to be this famous hall.
Fortunately, they left traces when they passed, after all, no one has been here for many years, and there is a thick layer of dust, and people will naturally leave obvious footprints when they pass by.
I carefully followed the footprints, not daring to step on a single step, this tomb was already in danger, and now I am the only one, and I am walking on thin ice.
It didn't take long for me to walk out of the gossip array, it seems that that group of people are masters, they came out so easily, if it was me and Xiaomu who came down first, I don't know if anyone would be able to see the clues.
I hadn't walked a few steps before I saw a pitch-black coffin standing on the spot. This coffin is extremely long, nearly half longer than a normal coffin, and the distance between the yang line and the yin line at one end should be too long, so make the coffin like this.
It's just that I'm not too afraid of the coffin, and I don't plan to open it, even if there are zongzi lying inside, it won't crawl out to catch up with me if it doesn't disturb, right?
Looking at the footprints on the ground, those people bypassed the coffin, which made me more and more curious, how could the tomb robber let go when he saw the coffin? Everyone is as bold as me, so why are you still in this business? Listening to what they said before, it must be this person, and it seems that they really didn't come for the Ming Weapon.
That is to say, their purpose is more important than the Ming utensils here, otherwise a tomb of this scale, if you are lucky enough to open a meat coffin, is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime.
I walked around the long coffin, followed the traces they left and continued to move forward, not long after turning around, I came across another coffin, but this coffin is very short, one meter long and two three, placed on a yang line, the front and back are protruding a lot, this is not a children's coffin?
Then I saw the other coffins, each one different, some as tall as the granary, all up to my neck; Some of them are very flat, and if a normal person lies inside, it is estimated that they have to squeeze hard to cover it; There are also oval shapes, and each one is weird anyway.
This is rare in funeral culture, unless there are special requirements, no one wants their coffins to be strangely shaped, basically the coffins are square shaped, long, decent, at most there is a difference in the material, or the coffin will be larger.
Most of the coffins I saw in Chongling and here are normal, and I think this may be the same as the animal burial in Chongling, where people are not lying inside.
I can't tell the attention here, but I can only see that the material of these coffins should be the same, and then each coffin is headed towards the stone pillar, a total of eight, just eight directions.
I couldn't do that much, I stumbled out, and there was a hole in front of me that looked like a collapse, and there was water underneath, and I tried it just beyond the surface of my feet.
The traces left by those people have also disappeared, and I am probably going out from here, and I hesitate whether to follow them or wait for them here.
I only hesitated a little, and then decided to follow, someone had just walked by, and I could know in advance that there was danger. He took out a pack of bandages from his bag and tied the dagger firmly to his right hand. I also brought a pistol with me before, and I don't know where it fell when I didn't use it once.
Holding the cold light stick, walk forward cautiously, trying not to make a sound.
I guess this cave collapsed from the previous dark river direction, and it looks like it is flowing in this direction, and if you follow the direction of the water, you may be able to get out.
I don't know how far I walked in the dark, but I found a fork in the road, which made me dumbfounded, there were pools on both sides of the ground, and I didn't know which way they went, and when I looked closely, I couldn't see any traces, maybe the light was too bad, or maybe I was too slow to follow, and the muddy water was already clear.
However, I found that one of the water at this fork was going down, and the other was flowing this way.
This is relatively rare, usually two rivers converge into a larger river, rarely a large river is divided into two small rivers, because the water is flowing low, over time the river will wash away the loose sediment, even if the beginning of the water flow is very large, but there are rarely more than two long distances in the geographical environment relatively stable terrain, especially this kind of underground dark river, unless it has been interfered with by humans.
But this doesn't make sense from the feng shui, the underground palace often has water diversion, like the corpse pool of Chongling, which is called gathering qi, if there is a diversion, it will become a laxative, very unlucky, so this can be ruled out as artificial.
Then there is only one explanation, when this tomb was built, the original river water went to the other side, and I came here to build this one artificially, but then this tomb was left unattended, and finally could not resist the forces of nature, and in some cases of increased water, the original dark river was washed out again.
It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as I walk upstream, I can always get out, I think so.
It's strange to say, my body was originally hot and unbearable, but walking in this cave slowly calmed down, isn't the toxicity as strong as I thought? Or am I physically strong enough to resist?
