Chapter 22: Exploring the Secret Organs
Now it seems that we have to make a multiple-choice question, go back and wait for the rescue, or continue to walk. But apparently neither of us is an instigator who will give up easily, and since we are gone, we will go to the end.
Suddenly, our eyes were empty, the mural was suddenly broken, and Mr. Shen illuminated it with an oil lamp and found that this should be another ear room.
But as the oil light gradually shone on, I saw a scene in front of my eyes that made me creep.
In front of us was a large pile of white bones, many of which were less than half a meter away from our feet.
I was unprepared and was taken aback. Mr. Shen was much calmer, and he also took an oil lamp to shine around the room that resembled an ear room, and I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me.
This is not one or two bones, but hundreds or thousands, piled up like a mountain of bones. The height is taller than my height, it should be two meters away. I was so frightened that I recoiled, and my breathing became unusually short.
Teacher Shen looked back at me and said to me, "Don't be afraid, these are all martyrs." I also saw this scene when I excavated the sacrificial pit of the Shang Dynasty in H Province, and this kind of slaughtering of human animals is very barbaric, but it is by no means uncommon in the history of feudal society. You calm down and get used to it. ”
I held back my fear, constantly dispelling the idea of closing my eyes and turning my head, and my body even trembled in the heat of the confrontation.
It took me a while to calm down a bit.
Seeing that I was in a better state, Mr. Shen said to me, "I took a closer look, and from the skeletal features of these bones, it should be all women, and there are many children. This guy is really cruel. But then again, the nomads of that era were unproductive, men were labor and combat strength and could not be killed, and the women and children taken from abroad could be said to be a burden to them. So..."
I didn't wait for him to finish, I couldn't hold it back, and I scolded a dirty word directly.
And after scolding, I suddenly felt happy in my heart, my breath was smooth, and my sense of fear was actually reduced a lot.
Teacher Shen didn't care about my scolding, and continued: "I estimate that the burial pit is opened at the end of the tomb or near the main tomb, it is possible, I have not encountered such a situation before, but at least it means that we are close to one of them." You can only keep moving forward, and you should find something. ”
I nodded, and we both moved on. Teacher Shen saw that I was not so frightened, and he came to the mood and joked to me: "I said that you are a man, how can you be as bold as a girl." ”
I ignored him, but after a few steps, a similar burial pit chamber appeared, but this time I was less frightened, and anger prevailed. Then two more appeared in a row. If you count the ones just now, it should be four, and if the ear chambers are symmetrical, it will be eight! Thinking of this, the anger in my heart completely replaced fear, and I said to Mr. Shen, "Fuck, no matter who his tomb owner is, we should crush him and avenge these poor people." ”
Teacher Shen turned his head to look at me and smiled: "You are really an innocent child, calm down, it's useless to be angry." That's all the affairs of that generation, and it's useless to take revenge now, not to mention that we are gold and stone workers, and we should protect all the original appearance here, let alone use our current thinking to consider the problems of the ancients. Besides, isn't the short life of the Yuan Dynasty also its retribution? ”
Teacher Shen obviously wanted to ease the atmosphere and help me calm down, he joked: "Fortunately, the corpses here are old and rotten to white bones, otherwise there will be unclean things on fire, which may scare you kid again."
Before he could finish speaking, I suddenly saw a figure looming on the pile of bones illuminated by his oil lamp.
"Ahh My nerves tensed, and the scream was completely uncontrollable, for I could clearly see a woman lying on a pile of bones looking at us, and dressed like a Han Chinese.
I was scared half to death, and Mr. Shen turned his head suddenly, but in an instant, the unclean woman disappeared.
Teacher Shen looked back at me in shock and asked me what was wrong.
I almost trembled and said, "There's something unclean!" ”
Teacher Shen turned his head to look again, and took the oil lamp to shine around, but he didn't find anything, he turned his head again: "I said, are you dazzled, I didn't see unclean things, and I wasn't scared by unclean things, but I was about to be scared to death by your kid." Are you nervous too much? ”
"There's something unclean, don't believe it!"
Teacher Shen turned around and shone the oil lamp in front of him and said, "Okay, it's not strange that there are so many dead people, even if there are unclean things. What's more, we've all come here, I'm afraid it's useless, she wants to hurt us a long time ago, don't think about it, keep going. ”
I said yes and walked on his heels. But I feel that in the darkness around us, there are always eyes watching us.
We didn't go far when we saw a large gate in the light in front of us, and on either side there were two tall stone statues, holding some kind of long-handled weapon, which stood out in the empty corridor without any ornaments.
We wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but Mr. Shen suddenly stopped, and I almost hit him, but I followed his light and saw two white bones lying on the ground.
Teacher Shen said: "The people who died in this corridor should not be the mourners, they are probably the tomb robbers who came in before us, but why did they die here?" ”
My eyes are better than Mr. Shen's, under the light, I can see something reflecting, that size, right! It's the arrow!
I said to Mr. Shen, "Look, there are a lot of arrows on the ground, could these two have been shot to death by the trap?" ”
Teacher Shen took a closer look over there and said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be, I haven't found a mechanism in the tomb for so many years, and I always thought that why the arrow and the rolling stone ball should be just rumors." Should it be here? But don't worry, even if there is an arrow crossbow after so many years, it should be rotten. In this way, you learn from me, let's be cautious and go over to see if it is a tomb gate. ”
As he spoke, Mr. Shen carried the bag on his chest. I think that's good, so even if the mechanism isn't broken, unless you get a headshot, you won't be able to die all at once.
We walked slowly, and when we walked in, we saw that there were indeed several arrows. So we were more careful, it might not be easy here.
We approached the stone gate step by step, and the face of the stone man also looked very fierce at this time, probably because the builder did it intentionally, and I knew that ugly things could not only scare away the living, but also have the effect of calming the tomb. In the tomb of Chu in the Warring States period, it is common to bury the tomb beast with the town, the appearance is strange and strange, the image is terrifying and grotesque, I only remember these gods chattering things or more wonderful things when I was in class.
But no matter how careful it is, it's useless, we are walking forward, probably when we are lined up with two white bones, suddenly Mr. Shen's feet "click", I know that something is wrong, or step on the mechanism, he just reacted, I could see that he was trying to dodge, I also stretched out my hand to pull him back, but the human reaction was still no match for the bow and crossbow. An arrow was already in his calf, and he groaned and fell to his knees. A few more arrows were scattered around, but they all fell to the side.
I was about to ask him how the situation was, when I suddenly heard a constant clicking sound coming from the top of my head, the sound was much louder than just now, I knew it was not good, and quickly turned on the oil lamp to see what was going on, only to see the two stone men at the entrance of the tomb actually slowly showed the blades of their weapons, we didn't see it just now because the blades were facing backwards, and now they turned to face us. Now I can see that it is not a weapon like a spear at all, but a large knife as long as a spear, and the long handle I just saw is the handle of the knife!
I was almost stunned as the two stone men slowly placed their broadswords across the entrance of the tomb at a height of half a man. Teacher Shen jumped over with one foot, pounced on me, and shouted, "Let's go!" ”
I just reacted from this nightmarish scene, and I saw that the stone man was actually moving forward with a roaring sound, and it seemed to be getting faster and faster!
I understand how the two tomb robbers died, either they were shot to death, or they were incapacitated by an arrow, they were hacked to death by this knife, or they were crushed to death by the stone man, no, the bones were not broken, it should be the first two. I don't know why I still have time to think so much in my head, but I quickly came back to my senses, grabbed Mr. Shen and ran back.
A huge roar echoed in the corridor, knowing that the speed of this stone man was getting faster and faster, because it was getting closer and closer to us, and it seemed to have a thousand strengths, and the ground was shaking, not that the Dao was giving it such a great momentum.
Although I ran in a panic, but my mind is still quite clear, the stone man is dead after all, will not track the strike, are all along the established route, although the volume of the two plus the weapon can be able to chop down and crush all the things on the line of the road, but the flexibility is very poor, so!
I suddenly thought of a plan to survive, and dragged Teacher Shen into an ear chamber piled with white bones. Sure enough, the stone man walked straight ahead and moved in front of us.
Although it felt bad to be huddled together with a large pile of bones, and even panicked, we finally got our lives back.
I shone the two stone men with an oil lamp, and they ran out a little further, and then stopped. Just when I thought they were ineffective, they flipped their weapons over again and began to "reverse" backwards, I quickly retracted into the ear compartment, and said in my heart that this guy who designed it is really ruthless, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill it once and do it again?
When the two stone figures returned to their positions, the whole tomb was finally calm, and my ears were still buzzing. Teacher Shen sat down, looked at his wound, took a sip of saliva and wiped it. I saw that he was just a skin wound, and the arrows were gone, so I asked him what he was, and he said, "Meaningless, I'll just say, although it's not rotten, but the power should be much worse, if the clothes are thicker, I don't think it will hurt." ”
"It scared the hell out of me. Well, I'm smart, or we'll both explain here today. ”
