Chapter 37: Scrutiny
"Aunt Fang, what's wrong?" Jia Xibei frowned.
This is Aunt Fang, if Pei Luo and them were suddenly so shocked, Jia Xibei would probably have shaved his face with an ear.
"Look around here." Fang Gu's gaze stayed on the corpse.
When Chen Xiaodonkey and the others heard this, they all turned on their flashlights, but after watching them for a long time, no one could see that something was wrong.
"I'm grass his grandmother!" Jia Xibei suddenly scolded, and then dragged Chen Xiaodonkey back like a ghost, "Go back, all go back, don't stand stupidly!" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey was pulled to a stumbling position, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Jia Xibei scolded and said: "Holy shit, this thing was poisoned by a corpse, and the corpse poison has fucking soaked into the bones and seeped into the soil!" It's not Aunt Fang reminding me, I'm really going to plant this today! ”
Ptomaine?
Chen Xiaodonkey listened a little blindfolded, he didn't know much about this thing, he had heard Zhang Wuwu say a little trivial before, but he didn't take it to heart.
However, Pei Luo and the others, who have been drilling in the soil all the year round, know that the corpse poison is powerful, and when they heard Jia Xibei's words, they all jumped three feet away, as far away as they were being chased by dogs.
Chen Xiaodonkey wondered: "Uncle, how can you see this?" ”
"Look around the corpse!" Hiding in a seemingly safe place, Jia Xibei took a flashlight and said: "This kind of mud beach by the river, especially the underground dark river, where there is no light at all, should have some moss and something like that, but look at that, with that skeleton as the center, there is no fart for two meters around!" ”
This deflated calf seems to be true!
Chen Xiaodonkey looked around, and the place next to it was hazy and had a layer of green under the light of the flashlight, but there was no moss in that place.
"Third master, then we don't care about that?" Pei Luo asked.
Jia Xixi Hula slapped his head and scolded: "Pipe a hammer pipe, how can you manage this?" Are you missing an eye or something? After scolding, he hurriedly folded his hands and bowed to the corpse, "Senior, it's not that you don't collect the corpse for you, it's really that you can't collect it, but this place is also a treasure of feng shui, and those who don't see the sun are considered to be underground, so we should have never seen it." ”
The group hurriedly returned to the position they came down to, found a flat wide stone to sit down and rest, Jia Xibei solemnly said to Aunt Fang: "Aunt Fang, thank you for reminding me, we all owe you a life, and when you go out from here, you will get more than one percent of the baby you brought out!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Fang Gu shook her head.
Seeing that Fang Gu really looked indifferent, there was not even a little expression on her face, and Jia Xibei did not continue to dwell on this matter.
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Uncle, didn't we come down to find clues about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" ”
"Mainly looking for clues and going out with something, shouldn't it be right?" Jia Xibei glanced at him.
Chen Xiaodonkey smiled and said no more, but he knew from the beginning that these two reasons should be reversed.
Dazhu distributed some dry food and water to everyone, and several people ate hastily to replenish their strength, while paying attention to the surroundings and starting to chat.
"Third master, there are a lot of discrepancies between this tomb and the news we got at the beginning, and it is also said to be a quicksand tomb, where is this now?" Pei Luo stuffed something into his mouth, and his voice was slurred.
"I've been thinking about this since I saw that hall." Jia Xibei took out the picture and looked at it, clutched it into a ball and threw it into the water, "The person who left this map should have opened a lot of caves outside first, and circled the hall from the outside, no one would have thought that there would be so deep hidden underneath, let's get down here for a total of more than forty meters, if you don't come in and just explore outside, it is impossible to find this place even if you are tired!" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey looked around and said incredulously: "If this place is a tomb as a whole, and such a large space is opened more than forty meters underground, how much manpower and material resources will it have?" And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has only been a few decades now, why haven't you heard any legends in Shanghai? ”
"It can't be excavated by hand." Jia Xibei shook his head, "Don't talk about that, little donkey, let me tell you, even now, if you put those Western equipment in order, it is absolutely impossible to make such a big project, the exit of that Yongdao is obviously halfway up the mountainside, do you know what this means?" ”
"The mountain that looks lower from above is hollow?" Chen Xiaodonkey understood after a little thought.
Jia Xibei nodded and said, "That's right, so it can only be naturally formed here." ”
"I can't quite say that." Although Chen Xiaodonkey agreed with Jia Beibei's statement, he still retorted: "Isn't it a legend that Qin Shi Huang built a mausoleum for himself back then, and hollowed out a large mountain range next to Xi'an to create an underground city?" ”
"!" Jia Xibei shook his head and denied it, and said, "Your brother-in-law has been in Xi'an for so many years, is there anything I don't know about the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?" If you really put aside this statement that has been passed down from generation to generation, such a large underground city, two thousand years have passed, so many capable predecessors, can no one find it? It's just a rumor of falsehood for generations. ”
Chen Xiaodonkey thought about it, it seemed like this. Otherwise, if there is really such a large mausoleum with countless legendary treasures, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought a war, he would not have sent an army to open the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum after receiving all the civil taxes for decades, then what did he want?
"Don't talk about this, I want to know what we should do next, to be honest, uncle, there is no tomb here, I have to wonder if we made a mistake when we came down." Chen Xiaodonkey looked at the scattered stone piles around him, and diverted the topic from the underground river that he didn't know the depths.
He imagined the process of sealing the coffin into the tomb, if the coffin entered from the tomb door, then passed through the corridor, and then went down here by sling, but the rocks on the riverside were towering, and a person often had to use his hands and feet when he traveled lightly, so how did the coffin pass from here?
"There must be a tomb, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain to build the hall above? As for how to get there, it's a hassle. Jia Xibei took out a box of cigarettes, threw them to Chen Xiaodonkey, and then turned his head and said, "Aunt Fang, do you have any opinions?" ”
Fang Gu sat on the side and stared at the river, eating slowly and shaking her head.
And in these matters, the 'suffering' in gangs like Dazhu and Erniutou has never had a say, mainly because they don't understand.
Pei Luo didn't know what to think, and suddenly said, "Third Master, what is the identity of the person who died on the shore?" ”
"If you have something to say, let it go."
"Hehe, that's what I guessed, if it's not right, you're not allowed to hit me." Pei Luo sneered, and when he saw that Jia Xibei didn't answer, he pretended to be bold and said: "I thought about it just now, and the one who died is very likely not to be a peer predecessor at all, but an ordinary person." ”
Jia Xixi said expressionlessly: "You mean to say that he didn't have a guy with him?" ”
Pei Luo nodded.
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "He has a boat, and the position where he died, and the direction of the bow and tail of the boat, prove that he came up from the river, what if he accidentally dropped something into the river?" ”
"It's not impossible for you to say this, young master, but I don't think it's very likely." Pei Luo shook his head to deny this conjecture.
"Why is it unlikely?"
"Because if it's really his seniors, then his boat can't explain it." Pei Luo thought about it and said: "First of all, you need to use the jade plate of Young Master Biao to open the door, otherwise you will encounter a layer of sand when you dig from the side, this can't be bypassed at all, Young Master Cousin, are you right?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Pei Luo continued: "Then suppose that fellow senior has the same thing as Young Master Biao, he can come in, but when we pass through the hall, before Fang Gu triggers those mechanisms, there is nothing on the floor, even if he can come over without triggering the mechanism, then what to say about that boat?" Could it be that they found this place and went up to get a boat and brought it in? ”
