Chapter 21: The Cave
"Okay, no matter what, let's find a way first." Pei spoke, I had to be silent, take care of my equipment again, and travel.
The cave was large, about ten meters high and six or seven meters wide, and the ground was paved with sand and gravel, and it was unusually dry compared to the humidity of the rest of the place.
We walked through the gravel, and all we could hear was the sound of stampede.
Looking at the surrounding situation, I asked, "Pei, is this hole also a natural impact?" ”
Compared with several other people who have the same experience as Pei and have been to the tomb several times, this is the first time for me. This time is also an assessment of himself, and he can't help but have a strong sense of curiosity in his fighting spirit.
"It's not."
A familiar voice rang out.
"Uncle Zhao." Pei seemed to have guessed a long time ago, and he didn't look a little surprised.
This old fox is really following me.
"It should be semi-natural and semi-artificial, although the surrounding stone walls are weathered, it is not difficult to see some traces of artificial excavation."
"Oh, the stalactites on the top are naturally flushed out, but since they are artificial, why do you still keep those stalactites." I nodded, and looked up at the stalactites above.
Like the one on the other side of the waterway, there are some spiky stalagmites, and if they are accidentally smashed, they will break their heads and bleed if they are not pierced.
How did I know that my words made Uncle Zhao pause, and he turned his head in astonishment, "What did you just say?" ”
"Huh? I? Nothing, huh? I was stunned by the question, and the flashlight was still shining on the stalactites above.
Uncle Zhao looked up at the stalactites above, and he didn't know what he found, and his face suddenly changed.
The rest of the people also stopped and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything? Pei Ye looked up at the stalactites and asked suspiciously.
"Look at these stalactites."
Everyone followed his words, the flashlight shone upward, and they didn't find anything strange, and couldn't help but look at Uncle Zhao suspiciously.
I also looked at those stalactites and felt very uncomfortable.
The spiky stalagmites were like animal teeth, as if they were going to enter not a cave, but the mouth of a giant beast.
Turning his head, he saw Pei looking at the stalactites above, and he also frowned, and couldn't help asking, "What do you see?" ”
Pei took the flashlight back and forth, and then pursed his lips and said seriously, "These are all artificially carved." ”
As soon as his words fell, everyone was stunned.
Artificially carved?
"Just kidding, the roof of this cave is at least ten meters, if it's modern, it's fine, if it's ancient, it's so difficult." Li Wen couldn't help but exclaim.
Uncle Zhao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, these are probably artificially carved, and these things will be carved here definitely not for decoration, don't act at will first, maybe there are some mechanisms around." ”
As soon as his words fell, everyone's faces changed, and they immediately understood why his face was so ugly.
If these things are really traps, once triggered, they will have no way out.
Suddenly looking at those stalactites, I didn't have the slightest intention of appreciating them, I just felt like the fangs in the mouth of a giant beast, as long as the mouth was closed, the prey inside would be crushed.
"Master, master, are you sure?" One of them looked at Uncle Zhao stiffly, and the cold sweat on his face immediately rolled down, and he didn't dare to move.
He felt that this time they were not here to visit the grave, but more like looking for death.
Now it is a stalagmite that may poke them into a hornet's nest, if it is really an ancient tomb, then which god is it, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is not so ferocious.
"Look at the ground." Li Wen suddenly shouted.
Everyone's hearts suddenly mentioned, flashlights went down, and then they collectively gasped, and cold sweat fell even more.
I almost screamed, subconsciously biting the tip of my tongue and closing my cheeks, my eyes wide with horror.
I saw that there were many places on the ground they had walked on before, and there were many places at this moment, which were obviously accidentally stepped on by them just now.
Pei immediately crouched down and shook the ground with a dagger.
Li Wen collapsed even more, and his legs trembled a little.
I saw that under the sand and stones that were randomly removed by the dagger, there were also white bones, and there were human skulls among them.
Everyone's faces were a little stiff.
Where is this a cave road, it is clearly Huangquan Road.
"Master, master, now, what should I do now?" The thin man's teeth trembled slightly, and there was already a cry in his voice.
Originally, I was engaged in tomb robbing, and my courage should not be so small.
But what he had learned before was only on paper, and he had never seen a dead person, let alone stepped on so many dead bones.
Now it's likely that there are some kind of human bones under his feet, which makes him feel that the whole person is a little bad.
My face was also a little bad, so I cautiously approached Pei and whispered, "Is there really a mechanism here?" Can it be opened? ”
He observed it with his eyes for a long time, but he didn't find any elements similar to the mechanism, not even anything abnormal, but the gray-red mist at the entrance of the entire cave was very thick.
He thought that the gray-red fog was just the general situation inside, so he didn't pay special attention to it, but now he found that the gray-red fog here is deeper, but the gray fog is thicker, which makes the red appear a little black.
It feels like it's a bad turn.
"Oops!" Uncle Zhao suddenly shouted.
The nerves of the crowd were stirred again, and they subconsciously clenched their cheeks.
"This is Huangquan Road, Yin Yang Road!"
"Ho." I couldn't help but shake.
"What do you mean?" Pei is quite calm.
But in fact, it may be said that the people who don't believe in ghosts and gods are tomb robbers, and superstition is just to seek peace of mind, so many of them don't believe in ghosts and gods.
When Uncle Zhao said this, he was sure in his heart.
As for the paving of white bones, he was a little shocked at first, but he had heard Uncle Zhao say that he had gone down to a tomb with many burial pits in it, and the white bones were piled up to the top of the tomb.
Others were a little puzzled.
Uncle Zhao kept turning his head to look at the river behind him.
The raft over there seemed to have been sunk into the water by leeches, and the surface of the water had returned to calm, eerily calm.
Uncle Zhao said, "What do you say." ”
"I have seen a kind of memorial tomb in an ancient book, the ancients mostly lived by death, hoping to be resurrected in the tomb, the memorial ceremony is to the extreme cathode evil, pseudo Huangquan Road, ghost gate, Yama Palace, so as to escape the way of rejecting the soul, so that the soul remains in the body to live and not die, and to protect the vitality of the body with the yin and evil qi, until the opportunity comes, you can be resurrected."
"This is a lie, I want to live forever and want to go crazy." Li Wen scoffed.
"It's actually a zombie, right? These ancients are more suitable for writing novels, and the ideas are really wild. Several others couldn't help but laugh.
The corner of my eye twitched slightly, and I glanced sideways at Li Wen, I really wanted to say, maybe there is a zombie next to you at this moment.
Uncle Zhao's words also began to become heavy, and his face became more and more solemn as he spoke, "Whether it is true or not, at this moment we have encountered something in this kind of record, if you don't guess wrong, this should be a burial pit." ”
