Chapter 7 The Garden of the Underworld
The death of Da Hei and the little lion was really terrifying, it was the first time we had seen a flesh and blood object since we entered the secret passage, and Da Hei's still shiny eyeballs reflected the shadows of me and Xiyin, and its eyeballs almost protruded from their sockets. I hurriedly shot the flashlight beam into the door, and the light seemed to be absorbed by the night, and after a short distance, it disappeared.
There was still no response inside, and the two of us could only walk forward cautiously, Lin Xiyin cried quietly, I knew that she was worried about her relatives.
Seeing the black dogs being shot to death, Lin Xiyin inevitably thought about it.
Affected by Lin Xiyin's crying, I became more and more scared, although the footprints on the ground were still there, but the flashlight gradually dimmed.
"Brother Dan'er, the flashlight is gone, it seems to be running out of power."
"Ling'er, are you hungry, I still have small biscuits here, let's rest and eat some first, I turned off the flashlight, you pull the corner of my clothes and don't let go."
Lin Xiyin whispered "um", I took out the food and opened it for Xiyin, and handed it directly to her mouth.
I'm very surprised by my ability, although the flashlight has been turned off, I can still feel the position of Lin Xiyin's mouth. And I have a special sensitivity to direction, even after so much time underground, I can still tell the difference between east and west, north and south.
At first, I didn't care about these abilities, but it wasn't until Mr. Lin intercepted my words and recounted what they had gone through, and I realized that it was my skills that saved them.
The rain outside had stopped, but the eaves were still dripping.
The old gentleman pondered for a moment and said: "I thought that the universal art of Shushan was proud of the ages, and the art of Yin and Yang geography of Shushan was invincible, but I didn't expect to fall hard in the tomb of the king of war in your hometown!" ”
After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over Lin Zhendong and Captain Jin, and I saw that they both seemed to be full of memories, but I couldn't tell whether they were afraid or happy from their expressions.
It turns out that this tomb of the war king is not built in accordance with the common law at all, if it weren't for the old gentleman who brought the big black and the little lion before going down to the tomb, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to get around the courtyard of the well. The old gentleman said that it was an underworld garden, and he had never heard of such a large garden built in the mausoleum, and this huge mausoleum did not follow the layout of the Yin Mansion in Zhou Yi Bagua, it seemed to be a school of its own, and it was full of evil and terrifying, which was completely incomprehensible.
When Lin Xiyin and I turned off the flashlight to eat, the old gentleman and they were experiencing the line of life and death.
As they entered the tomb gate, they touched the crater mechanism, triggering a volley of thousands of crossbows and crossbows from the tomb door. Fortunately, Da Hei rushed in front and provided an early warning to the four of them, otherwise they would definitely not be able to dodge with the strength of the bow and crossbow with the strength of a thousand catties.
After the death of the big black, their hearts hurt very much, but they didn't stay, and directly destroyed the door sealing mechanism and broke in.
If the countless reliefs and masks you have seen before are gods, then inside are the real devils.
They were more cautious after learning the lesson of the bow and crossbow array, but the more careful they were, the more they touched the more mechanisms, until finally they discovered the secret of this royal tomb.
This royal tomb is obviously divided into three parts, the first is the space where countless bones and broken swords fought each other at the beginning, the old gentleman also thought that it was the core of the ancient tomb at the beginning, and they moved all the burial goods that could be moved to the warehouse.
But the more the old gentleman thought about it, the more wrong it became, he felt that although the specifications of this royal tomb had been watertight, he couldn't figure out why there were so many people fighting in the mausoleum, and there were more bones crowded in the passage. At the end of the passage, they saw the marks of knives and axes on the surrounding stone walls, which looked like they were going to destroy this place, but these people used all their strength to starve to death and suffocate to death without breaking the sealed stone. The old gentleman thought that there might be a bigger discovery behind the sealed stone, so he decided to use explosives to blow up the boulder and find out.
At that time, they had been thinking for a long time about the stone sealing stone in the passage, so we found a few stone forest cigarette butts on the ground.
Fortunately, Captain Jin is very good at explosives, and Rao used two tubes of explosives to blow up the huge blockage. They entered the space called the Difu Garden, there was no trace of it being excavated and repaired, it was almost the original appearance of the cave, the ground was filled with soil, and there must have been vines and vegetables in the soil, although it had long since decayed, the old gentleman could still see traces of cultivation under careful observation.
The four of them were shocked, it was so weird here! They had seen countless artifacts in the tomb, but they had never seen a huge field in the tomb for farming. Could it be that the owner of the tomb liked to cultivate during his lifetime? Obviously not this answer, so that countless soldiers can be buried with him is enough to show the tyranny and cruelty of the tomb owner, what is the purpose of his doing this?
The old gentleman couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and a cold sweat flowed, and he thought of a thriller story that has been passed down through the ages.
The story comes from the pre-Qin funeral records: in the early Warring States period, there was a small country called Fei in the Taishan Mountains, which was later destroyed by the Qi State, and it is said that a monarch of the Fei State listened to the advice of the sorcerer and buried himself with 600 boys and girls when he died, in order to remove his bones and skin in the ground to rejuvenate himself.
The method he used was extremely evil and ferocious, and he even tied up the child, hung it upside down, and used the red thread to channel the child's blood into a huge coffin engraved with symbols. Legend has it that this monarch built a huge underground palace for himself, which contained an underground garden and tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers for him to use when he woke up.
It is said that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang also refers to this record, but there is no relevant record in the official history.
Could it be that this is the tomb of the monarch of the Fat Kingdom?
At that time, the old gentleman had limited knowledge of seal characters and did not study the inscriptions on bronze ancient vessels. At this time, since the blockage has been blown up, I can only go deeper to find out.
The four of them groped for a long time in the Difu Garden but did not find the exit, the area of this garden is huge, the four of them turned on the flashlight to the maximum and could not see the end, they thought of using a total of 100 meters of rope to find out the area of the Difu Garden. There were many dead trees and vines on the ground, and although they were rotten, they blocked and confused the four of them to find their way.
The old gentleman asked Captain Jin to shoot a flare, and the flare fell down and smashed to the ground not far in the air, and the four of them couldn't see what was going on for a total of two or three seconds.
The old gentleman stopped Captain Jin from firing another shot, and said: "It seems that the area here is huge, but the height is not high, and it is a waste to fight again, so let's think of other ways." ”
Several people tried a lot of ways, but they still couldn't find the direction, so they could only grope indiscriminately.
The old gentleman's "Shushan Universal Scripture" relies on the geographical qi vein, the stars and the moon phases to determine the acupoints, and the Shushan faction only relies on the magic and does not rely on the compass, and now he regrets not preparing a compass before coming in just in case.
Just when the four of them were at a loss, several dogs suddenly sniffed wildly, and they barked and broke free from Lin Zhendong's hands and ran out. Several people were shocked, the black dog had a keen sense of smell and vision, and must have found something before breaking free, and the four of them thought that there were unknown and dangerous monsters or other night ghosts hidden here and froze in place and did not dare to move.
They wanted to go back the way they came, but the footprints of several people had already been ruined after the rush just now, and they could no longer find the entrance when they came.
Lin Zhendong came up bloodily, no matter whether there was something hidden in the darkness or not, he puffed out his chest and kept whistling to call the dogs, and finally, ten minutes later, the big blacks were the first to rush back to the four people, and the black dogs came quickly, directly scared the four people so much that they took out their knives!
The old gentleman checked and found that the dog's nose was stained with a lot of water stains, and there was no fishy smell, he hurriedly put the dog leash back on and let the dog take the four people to the residence, and the four of them also found tribute made of jade agate and jade in the residence.
Captain Jin asked the old gentleman how much it was worth, and the old gentleman said that it was immeasurable, at least comparable to the jade cabbage of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The other three were overjoyed, and they all thought that if they found the real coffin of the tomb owner, wouldn't it be a sky-high price!
The four of them didn't stop much in the big house, they walked through the long underground corridor to the secret room with the huge bronze dome and guillotine. The old gentleman and Lin Zhendong cautiously leaned over and looked at the center of the giant tripod, the two of them were suddenly frightened and took a few steps back, they saw countless skeletons stacked together in the giant tripod, which were extremely hideous and terrifying under the illumination of the flashlight!
At this time, the big blacks called out twice, and the old gentleman understood the function of the giant tripod and the groove at a glance, and these coagulated blood should flow to the underground garden to be used as water!
How much blood does it take to irrigate a huge underground garden? Presumably, there must be countless decapitated bones buried under the soil of the garden of Nadifu! The old gentleman couldn't help but angrily scolded the owner of the tomb for being miserable and destroying humanity!
The four of them didn't want to stay here any longer, so they hurried away, and finally passed through the dungeon area to the huge tomb door.
Under the strong flashlight, they saw that the huge tomb door was tightly closed, and the four of them did not encounter dangerous mechanisms along the way, so they were not prepared for this place.
Mr. Li's name is Li Fuguo, he is Li Nenghua's son, he inherited his father's cautious and cautious character, he always felt that such an evil monarch would obviously not be able to say if he didn't set a trap, so he asked Lin Zhendong to spread the dog, animals have a sense of smell and ground movement that are several times more sensitive than humans, and this can only make Da Hei explore the way again.
After scattering these dogs, Da Hei immediately "poofed" and ran out, and everyone saw that the dogs were wandering in front of the tomb gate and there was no abnormality, so they walked quickly to the tomb door.
Suddenly, Captain Jin felt that his feet had stepped on the void board, and even the old gentleman next to him stepped into the air, and the two of them fell sharply. And at this moment, there was a "click" on the top of the tomb door, and then countless bows and crossbows shot out.
Several dogs did not escape from the bow and crossbow arrow array, even though they were swift, and they were nailed to the ground through the holes.
Lin Zhendong and Li Fuguo couldn't take care of rescuing the old man and Captain Jin, so they could only retreat and dodge.
After the bow and crossbow array was over, the two hurriedly ran to the edge of the trap, and found that Captain Jin's fingers were clasped around the gap in the trap, and the other hand was tightly grasping the old gentleman, and the soles of the old man's feet were a few centimeters away from stepping on sharp weapons such as thistle terrestris and bone nails.
The two hurriedly threw down the ropes to rescue the man, and realized that this tomb was not just evil.
At this moment, the black dogs had stopped screaming, and they were grinning in horror, and the four of them were heartbroken, if there were no dogs, they would have been shot to death.
Frightened by the mechanism, the four of them gave up the idea of using traditional door opening techniques, and directly blew the door open with explosives and walked in cautiously.
