Chapter 50: A Work of Heaven (Ask for Recommendations)
When Adjutant Ma heard that he was going to let himself go first, he subconsciously trembled his legs, looked at Zhao Yang trembling and said, "Master Zhao, I'm ...... This ......"
Before Adjutant Ma's words could be fully spoken, Zhao Yang glared at him directly and scolded: "Don't move anything after you go down, it's definitely going to be fine!" Do you still want to turn around and go back? ”
Under Zhao Yang's obscenity, Adjutant Ma had no choice but to obey his fate, first tied a safety rope to his waist, and then grabbed the rope and slid down little by little.
The height of forty or fifty meters is not particularly high, and after Adjutant Ma landed safely below, another brother climbed behind the centipede hanging ladder, and Zhao Yang commanded everyone to slide down the rope one by one in order.
A team of more than 100 people, one by one, carefully passed the centipede hanging ladder first, and then grabbed the rope and slid down, because there were many people, so this was also a very time-consuming project.
In particular, some of them were very frightened of this situation, so they were extremely careful, and the time to pass through the centipede hanging ladder was particularly slow, which delayed the travel time even more.
There is a saying that the more careful and cautious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, because excessive tension and caution are not necessarily a good thing.
"Ah...... Ghost...... Ghost ......"
Suddenly, a little brother on the centipede hanging on the mountain ladder didn't know what he saw, and suddenly exclaimed in fear, and at the same time hesitated and was too nervous, stepped on one foot in the air, and his whole body directly lost his balance, and plunged into the 'Milky Way' and was swallowed up in an instant, without even revealing a bubble.
As long as you fall from underneath, even the gods can't save you.
What's more serious is that due to the excessive swaying of the centipede hanging on the ladder, several other people on the ladder also panicked, and almost fell down.
The more panicked these people were, the more the ladder swayed, and the more it swayed!
Seeing this, Zhao Yang immediately used the long handle of the Luoyang shovel to jam the centipede hanging mountain ladder, but fortunately, Zhao Yang's strength was strong enough, so he barely stabilized the shaking ladder and gradually stopped.
At the same time, Zhao Yang looked to the left, and saw that there was indeed a face in the darkness on the left, a white face shadow staring at this side, which was very obvious in the dark.
But when Zhao Yang turned his head to look over, this face disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Because it was just such a moment, Zhao Yang couldn't determine whether it was a person or a reflection of some kind of light, after all, this silvery-white mercury was very bright, and it was normal for the firelight to reflect on it.
But even if there is a ghost, it must not be coaxed at this time!
"Don't panic, everyone, it's just the shadow of the fire shining on the mercury, and we reflect it ourselves! There's no ghost at all! ”
Zhao Yang shouted loudly, trying his best to let his voice reach the rear, so that everyone could hear it, and now this is the only way to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Damn, I didn't see you so cowardly when you carried guns to the battlefield one by one, there are so many of us, even if there are ghosts, we are not afraid! Even if there is a ghost, just fucking treat it as a dog, the more you are afraid of it, the more it will look for you, and if you are not afraid of it, it will encourage you instead! ”
As soon as Zhao Yang's words fell, Jin Wuming shouted from behind.
It can be clearly heard from Jin Wuming's tone that he also deliberately raised his voice to give himself courage,
However, Jin Wuming's words really worked, and after several people on the centipede ladder balanced their bodies, they continued to crawl forward boldly, and the speed was a little faster than before.
Halfway through the candles, everyone passed the bridge over the Milky Way with centipedes.
Then go through the rope to the bottom of the Imperial Tomb.
Although the loss of a brother, but the occurrence of this kind of accident is irresistible, which is just a lesson for everyone, the more afraid of something, the more comes.
When he reached the ground of the Emperor's Tomb, Zhao Yang felt that the air below was even cooler than above, and in the absence of wind, the air seemed to be dead silent.
"Brother Zhao, how do I feel that this emperor's tomb is built like a hell and an underworld!"
Jin Wuming also looked around at this time, and couldn't help but rub his arms with his hands crossed, muttering quietly, as if he was afraid of startling the master here.
Zhao Yang looked at Jin Wusheng and pulled the corners of his mouth, it seems that the first feeling of everyone coming here is that they are going to hell.
If one person is feeling, then ten people, a hundred people are feeling this way, and it must become true.
This is indeed such an imperial tomb built according to the Huangquan Difu.
And this imperial tomb was not built using a natural cave, but was all artificially slotted!
Because this Xiaolong Mountain itself is a dirty mountain, there are few rocks, and it is impossible to form a natural cave.
In addition, the soil under your feet has been artificially compacted, so strong that it is even harder than stone, and I believe that this is true on both sides.
Simply using artificial power to hollow out such a large mountain from the inside? What a huge undertaking this must be? It makes people numb to think about it with their toes.
In addition, Zhao Yang was amazed not only by the vastness of the project, after all, the huge project was just because there were many people.
Even a thousand years ago, there were 100,000 people, and the Great Wall was a huge project under the artificial coolies, at most it was just a powerful labor force of the ancients.
In fact, what amazed Zhao Yang the most was that although the emperor's tomb built according to the Huangquan Difu had hollowed out the entire mountain, it had existed for thousands of years, and it did not collapse even in the case of changes in the terrain.
Of course, Zhao Yang also saw some of these doorways, the reason why this hollowed-out cave will not collapse for thousands of years is mainly because of the rows of tamped earthen beams and pillars with a diameter of more than 20 meters in the middle.
These rammed earthen beams and columns are like keels, supporting the entire Xiaolong Mountain from the inside, and at the top of 100 meters, they are all arched, which is also easier to bear.
This is the true meaning of 'ingenuity'!
And this is only a part of what Zhao Yang can see at present.
Not far in front of him is a three-meter-wide river, the whole river twists and turns, like a dragon lying on the ground, straight to a deeper place, there is no end in sight.
"Brother Zhao, there are three towers in front, it shouldn't be a place to put the coffin, right?"
Jin Wuming looked at Zhao Yang and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
After all, this trip to the tomb is not for the purpose of tourism to open your eyes, and while marveling at the emperor's tomb of this heavenly work, the main purpose of this trip is to touch the gold and treasure hunt.
Jin Wuming has always been firm in this purpose!
