Chapter 216: A Historic Moment
The deeper we descended from the ring staircase, the more light came above us.
This place is really like the wreckage of a building, the further down you go, the more broken bricks and tiles there are, and many of them still retain traces of smoke and fire, it seems that the catastrophe encountered here is a historical fact. I'm actually okay, mainly with the advantage of eyesight, I can see everything under my feet, but the big waist is more miserable, his light source with the oil lamp is limited, while illuminating the stairs, while also worrying about all kinds of stumbling under the feet, naturally I can't walk fast.
We finally reached the Phosphorus Department, which was a waste dump with a layer of debris from various buildings.
I walked to the stone gate, let the big waist stand behind me, and then swung the Tai'a sword and slashed diagonally at the stone gate, and the stone gate collapsed as I had imagined.
We climbed up the gravel and tried to enter the graveyard, but an extremely disgusting smell immediately filled our surroundings, and I hurriedly tore my clothes to cover my nose, but the strong feeling of nausea could not dissipate.
The big waist covered his nose tightly and asked in a muffled voice, "Damn, can you see what's inside?" Does it smell like this? ”
But at the same time, I could clearly see that an extremely tall megalithic tomb door was erected in front of us, and it must have been the entrance to the underground tomb.
In my comparison, this stone door is at least five meters high, and each one is more than two meters wide, and the thickness is not visible. There is no pattern decoration on this door, and it looks a little plain.
If ordinary people came over, it would not be easy to open this stone door and enter. And I'm going to use a more extreme gambling technique.
I looked up and looked in again, but I still didn't find anything, and the source of the smell was supposed to be deeper in the tunnel.
Big Waist turned on the oil lamp and said, "Almost, let's go in." ”

I nodded and walked ahead of him.
I looked inside, there was a slope at the bottom, and before I could see what was underneath, I really couldn't stand the smell, so I quickly retracted my head: "I can't see it, it smells like something is rotten, it's okay, it's been closed for so long, let it ventilate first." Let's stay out of the way. ”
The big waist nodded, squeezed into the leeward with me, and turned off the oil lamp.
After a while, I don't know if it was our sense of smell that got used to it, or if it was really the air inside and outside that dissipated some of the odor, and I was finally able to tolerate the stimulation of the smell.
I looked at the human skull in front of me, and I didn't know how to answer for a moment. What the big waist saw was probably only the place where the oil lamp could reach, but what I saw was that the entire corridor of about 100 meters was densely packed with heads. And a lot of them are still carbonizing and rotting. It should be that there are not enough human heads in these confined spaces to decay, and it was not until the stone door was opened by us that the oxidation reaction and decay occurred, and a large amount of foul-smelling gas was quickly produced. The number of heads, it is simply impossible to estimate.
I thought about it for a while, and said to the big waist: "It should be the body of the craftsman who built the mausoleum at that time, and it is recorded that 720,000 people were collected, and there may be water, and it is not accurate how much is left in the end, but these people must have been killed and thrown in." I'll just shut down the door and suffocate the craftsmen here, because there is not enough space, and the living will definitely rebel. It turned out that this method was used to increase the number of funerary goods. ”
"These saddles are all one urine."
The downward section of the tomb was not very long, and there were no suspicious signs on the walls, so we easily reached the bottom of the tomb.
The scene in front of me was shocking and terrifying. Now I know what that disgusting smell was all about.
After the big waist came down and saw this scene, his body trembled obviously, and his voice changed: "How can there be so many heads?" ”
They were all poor people, and I was extremely reluctant to step on them, but I had to move forward, so I could only concentrate as much as I could on the front and not think about anything else, as if I were stepping on the uneven ground. But the sensation coming from under my feet reminded me that there was more than one layer in my skull.
The big waist was behind me, and his hands were on my shoulders, and I don't know if he was walking with his eyes closed or if he was always on guard. But I don't think it's ridiculous at all, and if you see this miserable image, I'm afraid you won't have the courage to come in.
I don't know how much time has passed, but finally the end of this corridor appeared in front of us, in the tomb over there. There was a faint light of shaking fire.
I calmed down all kinds of worries in my heart, and said to the big waist: "Why don't you go up first, how evil this kind of place is, just these rotten heads, I'm afraid it's not easy to go over." I have an artifact protector, and even if I still have something hidden under my head, I should still have a chance. ”
The big waist looked at the head of the person in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, I'm holding back my nausea." If you don't worry, you go ahead, I don't think there are any traps here, just for these heads. ”
"Okay, then you follow me." In fact, I also know that since he has decided, it is almost impossible to leave me alone.
Suddenly, there was a slight creaking and clanging sound around him. I'm pretty sure that the source of that sound is not the sound of us stepping on broken bones, continuous and fixed. It's like - trap!
Thinking of this layer, I immediately waited for it, although the mechanism encountered in the grassland imperial mausoleum back then was almost rotten, but I always felt that the craftsmen of Emperor Qin, the ability of Meng Yuan to catch those was not at the same level.
"Whoosh!" The sound of an object cutting through the air suddenly sounded, and it became more and more dense, it was an arrow crossbow mechanism!
I almost felt the urge to rush over, but I restrained myself from being afraid of the big waist at the back.
I said to him, "It's okay, it's here, it's not a few steps ahead." ”
The big waist didn't respond, but still walked after me.
Seeing that the door was getting closer and closer, I followed the big waist: "Quick, it's not a few steps, it should be safe to go in." "At the same time, I was sure that there was something burning inside, and that it wasn't my hallucination.
With the sound of arrows falling to the ground, we finally walked through the human head road and entered the tomb to be Zheng
Sure enough, no matter how uninteresting people are, they won't be able to install arrows and crossbows in the tomb, and after coming in, it does seem safe, but I still don't dare to let the big waist leave the range of my circumference.
I don't know how we triggered these traps, and the bows and arrows in the cracks in the walls around us were like horizontal rain, but luckily the purple gold jade robe helped us block them all.
Sure enough, it's a lot more advanced, whether it's the number of arrows, or the ability to track and hit wherever it goes, ordinary tomb robbers can't pass this level even if they come.
There seems to be such a record in the historical records, but I didn't expect that the craftsmanship of the working people of the previous dynasty was so powerful.
I replied, "It doesn't have to be a human being, a person can't live without oxygen, and we've been at the door since we opened the tomb, and no one can come in before us." ”
The big waist smiled helplessly: "Can't you, you're going to hit the monster again?" ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, there's no need to be afraid of it with me." ”
The big waist looked at the glowing flame in the middle of the tomb and said, "Mermaid anointment lamp... It turns out that there really is something that will not be destroyed for a thousand years. ”
But I felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, I realized the problem: "Don't you think it's strange? There shouldn't have been any oxygen here before we came in, so how could this lamp not go out for 2,000 years? ”
Hearing me like this, the big waist also became a little nervous, because there may be only one reasonable explanation for Ci: "Is there a Ru therapy?" ”
Anyway, since you're here, of course you have to check it out. I let the big waist follow me and walked to the coffin.
He said: "There are really a lot of good things here, and it is worthy of being a person who unifies the six countries, and it seems that he has spent all his energy on the exorbitant conquest." ”
I joked with him: "Sometimes you can't be so hasty in your evaluation of historical figures. However, one by one, his looting and suppression of the people was indeed the cause of his own destruction. ”
This inexplicably lit lamp is bright, and the big waist doesn't need to use an oil lamp to shine everywhere to see the layout here.
This tomb is not big, no, it is probably the size of a theater garden. After entering from the Yongdao, there were burial goods, a mermaid paste lamp in the legend, a large bronze coffin with ten conspicuous copies, and the last ten tall statues, which may be the ten generals of Emperor Qin.
Although this is theoretically the resting place of Emperor Qin, no matter how I look at it, I think it's almost meaningful, but for a while I can't think of what is wrong. Is the heirloom jade seal really in this coffin?
I shook my head: "I don't have any plans, I only know that the jade seal of the country is in his tomb, and I don't know if it's in this coffin." I can only open it and take a look. ”
"Who isn't, whether it's these external things or other things, how can they be taken away when they die. exhaustively, racking his brains, calculating all his life, in the end it is nothing more than that, and he will be called a tyrant by many people. People leave a name tree, if only I can leave a good name in history. ”
Then we passed through the pile of treasures, and when we reached the coffin, the big waist asked me, "What, is there any plan?" Or just open the coffin? ”
"What's the use of you having so many treasures, if you don't bring them with you in life and don't take them with you in death, if we don't come down, they will be piled up here like garbage, what kind of treasures."
Having said that, my heart is still beating fast, after all, what I have to face is the best man in the history of the dynasty, and it is impossible not to be excited.
This moment, whether in gold and stone, tomb robbing, or history, may be unique.
