Volume 2: The Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 24: Murals

Miss Luo said: "I heard my grandfather say that the four sections are one master, dominated by a circular mechanism, one step at a time, it is very dangerous, this layer of flying spears may only be preliminary, and the later ones may be more dangerous." ”

This made our scalp tingle, and we lost two people at the beginning, and if there were traps on each floor, the ghost would have been able to guarantee that we would be able to climb down a few floors, and maybe they would have been able to hold out for a few rounds, I guess it would be hanging.

"Then let's get out, it's obviously a dead end." I couldn't help but retreat, there was no need to move forward knowing that I was dead.

Liu Sanyan looked up and scolded: "How to retreat?" Where to retreat? Unless you grow wings and fly out. ”

We fell from the altar, and the black whirring hole could not be reached at all, and it was impossible for a person to climb up without special tools.

"What then?" Marijuana said.

"What can I do, it's up to me. I'd like to see how many means are still waiting for the third master. Liu Sanyan was ruthless, picked up a scattered bronze railing, and played a few times.

The altar was a bronze railing about two meters above all sides, and when we fell, we fell apart with a shock, and many of us fell down.

I tried it, and each one was quite heavy, to say the least, thirty pounds, and a little clumsy when it was a weapon, of course, this was for me.

Liu Sanyan said that these bronze bars are worth a lot of money, and if there is nothing left in the end, it will not be a loss to take a few out on this trip.

A lot of coffins were opened here, and a lot of things were obtained, but after the round of flying spears just now, they were basically damaged, and in the end, there were really not a few intact Ming weapons left.

Simply clean up, in fact, there is nothing to clean up, after a random shot just now, the thing is almost destroyed.

Luo Jin nodded his head, slipped down neatly with a rope, and waited for a while to give us a safe signal, and we climbed down in turn.

At this time, there is no such small platform above, only a plank road that can stand on the foot, and it is a little reluctant to turn around.

I shone it with a flashlight, and found that the stone wall behind me was full of patterns, and there was that kind of ghost mother text, but the painting was very abstract, and I couldn't see the reason for it for a while.

We didn't have the heart to move slowly to the northeast on these patterns, because this suspension bridge is in that direction, and the space is slightly larger.

I was very close to the northeast, and I didn't move a few steps to get there, with Miss Luo in front, Liu Sanyan in the back, then Luo Jin, Hemp, Chuanmao, and finally Xiaomu.

When gathering to the northeast, Liu Sanyan shouted and went over to touch the Ming weapon first, Luo Jin and the others obviously thought the same way, after all, they were tomb robbers in their bones, how could there be a reason not to take treasures in the tomb?

Soon they were divided into two groups, Luo Jin and Chuanmao in a group, Miss Luo, Liu Sanyan and Marijuana in a group, or I and Xiaomu didn't move, I was injured and inconvenient, Xiaomu didn't seem to be interested at all.

I'm idle, I want to see where I can hide first, if I shoot a spear again, I have to find a good hiding place first, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, a small life is still very precious.

It's just that I haven't even had a dog hole after looking for a long time, and I can only resign myself to Amitabha Buddha when I really come to it.

I was soon fascinated by the mural, which was carved with "people" carrying stones, each pushing a wheelbarrow with stones on each side. I thought to myself, could it be a record of the construction process of this cemetery? If so, then this would be valuable, at least to give us a comprehensive understanding of the tomb.

It's just that it's obviously not the beginning of the mural, looking at this mural, it should be in order from left to right, and if you want to see it from the beginning, you can find the first one first.

I walked in the direction of the flashlight, and the circumference of the road was only thirty meters, and I soon found the first one.

This mural is a lot of people walking forward in an orderly manner, holding various tools, and there should be three characters on it, and at the forefront are three people pointing to a low mountain in front of them.

Although the carving of this low mountain is blurred, I generally look like the village of Bitu, and it seems that it really records the construction process of this cemetery.

I moved on to the next one, and there were already two groups of soldiers working in a palace-like building, some carrying earth, some of me roof beams, and some of laying tiles......

It seems that it must be the tomb above the building, and I can see the rough scale of the mirror feng shui and other things I have experienced on it. The other group of people went straight into the ground from the other end and mined stone on a large scale, which should be the underground stone factory near the Nai He Bridge.

It's just strange that the mural records a passage that goes straight there, and there are dotted lines carved at the bottom of that passage, what does this mean? I couldn't figure it out for a moment.

The next one is the latest one, I saw the picture of carrying the stones on it, and suddenly realized that those dotted lines represent water, and the tomb is built by transporting stones through the river, which can save a lot of labor, and may be the main reason for choosing to mine stones there.

It's just a little confusing, a lot of stone here is not small, if it is transported by the river, the river must not be too shallow, but although there is a river above, it is not enough to support the conditions for transporting stones, is it too old, the river has been diverted?

I was ignorant, and I still had some clues, and then I was building the Huangquan Road above this, and those people kept widening and deepening, and the river actually fell in a straight line, showing a whirlpool, I was stunned when I saw this, these five elements and thirty-three heavens are in a whirlpool? Not artificially excavated, but naturally formed?

Then the real ghost knows how deep it is, and it's not a dead end for us to climb down?

It's not right, this path of rebirth can't be naturally formed, it must be artificially built, how can there be such a neat and uniform stone pillar naturally? As long as it is artificially built, no matter what, it will have a head, and since the water has gathered here before, there must be an outlet to flow everywhere, and there must be a way out below.

When I wanted to look down, Xiao Mu sat there in a daze, his legs hanging outside, leaning against the stone pillar.

I said, "You go to the side, I'll pass by, don't squeeze me down." ”

Xiao Mu looked at me and said, "It's useless, the mural records only the surface, and there will be no clues in important places." Sometimes it can mislead future generations. ”

"You noticed it too?" I asked, confused, thinking that no one would notice these things.

Xiao Mu seemed to be bored, and said a few more words: "The inverted bucket is not archaeology, pay attention to fast, the mural is the most common in the tomb, it is nothing more than to record the process of construction or the deeds of the tomb owner during his lifetime, which is valuable for archaeology, but it is useless for the inverted bucket at all, have you ever seen a thief who has the leisure to appreciate the decoration of the house in the master's house?" ”

"Idle is idle, what if you find any clues?" I retorted, "For example, I know that this was once the place where an underground river passed, and this is the whirlpool of the underground river, and the stone pillars were artificially built. ”

Xiao Mu said: "You are so naΓ―ve, can you think that the owner of the tomb would not think of it?" Besides, who said that the pillar was built by man? ”

"Although this stone pillar is not small, it is so neat and even, how can there be such an ingenious natural stone pillar?"

Xiao Mu shook his head, stood up and patted the stone pillar behind him and said, "You find a crack and I'll take a look." ”

I was stunned for a moment, Xiao Mu is not a person with no purpose, could it be that he has discovered something earlier?

I looked carefully and distrustfully, and there were indeed chisel marks on this stone pillar, which looked flat on the surface, but it was the same as hemp sticks, and the potholes in some places were even fist-deep, but it was indeed a whole.

I can't believe that after running around the stone pillar, there are indeed no cracks, which means that the stone pillar is a whole, at least this layer is.

Perhaps this stone pillar is a large stone stack, not a small piece of bricks, there can be no water mill technology in that era, can not do seamless combination, the traces of this large-scale building superposition are still obvious.

I walked around again, this time looking up and down the stone pillar, looking very carefully, and it took a lot of time, but I still didn't find it.

Is it really a whole?
