Chapter 018: The Land of Sacrifice to the Heavens
Everyone knows about bats, and blood bats have also heard of it, specializing in sucking human or animal blood for a living, but they have only heard of it, and have never really seen it. To be able to block the light instantly, without a trace of brightness, how many bats would need to gather together to do it, thinking of this, Han Wei and the others all felt a chill.
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Lao Zheng had already spoken: "The large ancient tomb built in ancient times, the owner is not dead, so naturally the tomb door cannot be closed, but in this way, the ancient tomb is easy to be destroyed, and a group of blood bats are usually raised in the ancient tomb. However, a cemetery is completely closed, and within a few years all the blood bats will die, and now there are so many here, there are only two possibilities, one is that the ancient tomb has never been closed, that is, the owner who built this place is not buried here after death. The second is that after the ancient tomb was closed, it was opened in a short period of time, and the blood bat survived. ”
"Now most of the blood bats are still asleep, and the movement just now will never be so small, as long as you don't provoke them, you won't take the initiative to attack people for the time being. This place is not suitable for a long time, so we should leave quickly. Lao Zheng said to himself, and made eye contact with Qiu Lao, the two should be very familiar, just a look, and saw Qiu Lao nodding slightly.
Although Lao Zheng said it relaxed, the atmosphere was very heavy, two people died in a row, and they were still acquaintances, and it was impossible to calm down immediately. Some people had already retreated, and their eyes were a little hesitant, but before they had a chance to speak, Lao Zheng and Qiu Lao took the lead together.
I didn't go far, I had reached the end, and it was another stone door, still empty. The difference is that this stone door is not engraved with a weapon, but it is heavier than a weapon. The stone gate is carved with thousands of troops and horses, although it is very small, a person is only about an inch, but it is lifelike, the sword held high, the hooves of the horses, all are murderous. Han Wei only glanced at it, and then he felt a biting chill invade, straight to the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but take a step back, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Lao Zheng looked at the stone gate quietly, motionless, his expression looked extremely grim, and he was a little pale, even if two people died one after another, it did not make him change color, but now a stone door made him no longer calm. Lao Zheng stared at the stone gate and did not move, no one stepped forward to disturb him, Qiu Lao stepped forward to check, but there was nothing near the stone gate, and it was impossible to find clues.
"Lao Zheng, do you want to go in now?" Qiu Lao waited for a while, and finally spoke, now the archaeological team is panicking, and any more hesitation like this will only make the last insistence collapse.
Lao Zheng didn't speak, but just entered the stone gate sideways, and Han Wei didn't know why, without any hesitation, and followed Lao Zheng in. It was another stone passage, only sixty centimeters wide, but the light could see the end, and on dozens of steps, there was a coffin, because the light was there, it was already very weak, and if you wanted to look carefully, you could only step forward. From time to time, the abyss on both sides of the stone steps was replaced by a yin river, and the light shone through, and the water surface was calm, but it was glowing with cyan light, and I didn't know what was in the water.
Everyone used a powerful flashlight to observe the surroundings, the top of the tomb is made of bluestone, each piece is carved with people and horses, all of them are armored men, the entire secret room roof, definitely more than 100,000 soldiers. Although I knew that it was just a carving, I still felt inexplicably depressed, and the flashlights in the hands of several people fell, as if these stone paintings would come to life at any time and split the intruder's five horses.
"You are waiting where you are, something is wrong here, it is not an ordinary mausoleum." Lao Zheng's voice was very low, which aggravated the already depressing atmosphere. Lao Zheng didn't look back at all, and walked down the stone steps alone.
"Lao Zheng, be careful, don't force ......" Qiu Lao's voice had not yet fallen, and when he saw that Han Wei actually followed, he wanted to hold it, but he took a step slower and hurriedly said: "Han Wei, come back quickly." ”
Han Wei has decided to step forward, he will not retreat, there is an inexplicable trust in the mysterious Lao Zheng, or Han Wei has a heart that is not willing to be lonely, and has the desire to explore the unknown mystery, just like for the white jade ring, knowing the danger, and even death, but never giving up looking for answers.
Lao Zheng saw Han Wei coming up, and originally wanted to say something, but seeing Han Wei's expression, there was a hint of approval in his eyes, and he stopped talking. On the stone staircase road, Lao Zheng stepped forward this time, but each step was the same length, as if it had been specially measured. The passage of the stone steps is not very long, and after a while, I came to the first step, and when I got closer, I realized that it was not made of stone at all, and every step was made of jade. The jade steps are all yellow, and it is also the only color, the transparent and very beautiful topaz is also a precious gemstone, and now a step in front of you, if you take it out, I am afraid that it is sky-high.
Han Wei had long heard that the ancient royal family, especially the emperor's mausoleum, had a lot of rare treasures in it, and each of them was priceless when taken out. Han Wei looked at Lao Zheng and saw that his gaze did not stop on the jade steps at all, but looked up at the coffin above, his brows already twisted. Lao Zheng was still silent, and after a while, he stepped on the jade steps, and each step would stop for a few seconds, and at the sixth step, he would stop for several minutes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After following this short period of time, Han Wei has some understanding of Lao Zheng, and every time he stays, he must have a deep meaning. Taking this opportunity, Han Wei looked around carefully and found that the original topaz steps had changed, and at the seventh order, they had turned into light purple, which was much more luxurious than topaz, and people couldn't help but want to touch it. Yellow and purple in ancient times, are extremely noble colors, usually only the emperor's family, and the princes and generals are used together, used here, I don't know if it shows the nobility.
"Six, nine, sure enough, it's six and nine palaces."
Just when Han Wei was observing Ziyu, he heard Lao Zheng's voice talking to himself, the two were very close, and the neighborhood was extremely quiet, so Han Wei heard it very clearly. For Liuhe Nine Palaces, Han Wei has also heard of it many times, and knows that it is a term in physiognomy, but he doesn't know the specific meaning. Lao Zheng didn't pay attention to Han Wei at all, how could he see his doubts, without words, he walked forward again, still the same as before, and stayed for a few seconds every time he went up the steps.
Han Wei didn't know why, there was obviously no wind around, and he always felt a little cold, could it be that he encountered a yin wind? Thinking about it in my heart, it was a little colder, even if I wrapped my body tightly, I still couldn't resist the cold, and my body began to tremble slightly. It's just that Lao Zheng is wearing thinner, but there is no sign of cold, Han Wei doesn't want to retreat, no matter how cold it is, he still follows closely. In order to keep himself from thinking about these supernatural things, Han Wei wanted to find something to do and use this to distract his mind. The only thing that can be done now is to count the steps, the purple jade steps have a total of nine steps, plus the six-step topaz steps, which is not in line with the six and nine palaces in Lao Zheng's mouth.
What exactly does the Nine Palaces mean? What is the special significance of this ancient tomb being built in such a way? Han Wei thought in his heart, completely forgetting the cold, he had already walked all the steps at this moment, and at the top was a platform with a circumference of about ten meters, and there was only a coffin on it, which was also jade, but it was yellow and purple. Originally, there were multiple strands of color in the jade, which appeared mottled and greatly reduced its value. However, the jade coffin in front of him, yellow and purple colors are intertwined, and if you look closely, it looks like a dragon coiled in it. If this is naturally formed, I don't know how many times more precious than pure topaz or purple jade. Han Wei is now full of curiosity about the identity of the owner of the mausoleum, who is the person who would have such a treasure.
In order to verify whether the dragon shape in the jade coffin was painted, Han Wei stretched out his hand to touch the jade coffin, and at the moment when he was about to touch it, Lao Zheng hugged Han Wei to death, and then quickly retreated. It was too sudden, Han Wei was startled, and instinctively struggled to resist. The sound of stepping on the platform made a clang, which immediately echoed in the burial chamber, and the sound gradually expanded and became a little sharp, making people feel nauseous and dizzy after listening to it.
"Cover your ears."
Lao Zheng's words sounded in Han Wei's ears, which seemed very faint, but he was still heard by Han Wei, and at this moment he also knew that Lao Zheng was dragging him, so he stopped struggling and covered his ears. The sharp voice was much quieter, and at this moment, seeing Lao Zheng's gaze, he motioned for him to lie down, Han Wei did not hesitate, he lay down, clinging to the platform, feeling a burst of coldness, the sharp voice disappeared quickly, and the feeling of dizziness disappeared immediately. But at this time, Han Wei didn't dare to get up, and he didn't dare to let go, and he didn't dare to let go until Lao Zheng let go of the hand covering his ears.
"What the hell is going on?" Han Wei couldn't help but ask, this is also too weird, a little sound can make a sharp sound, almost making people feel gall.
"This is the place of worship to the sky, a little big movement, will expand infinitely, it can be said that killing people is invisible, only close to the ground, lower than the position of this heavenly coffin, can it not be disturbed by sound." Lao Zheng said as he gasped, Han Wei's violent struggle just now made him consume a lot of energy.
Isn't this a burial chamber, and when did it become a place of worship? And why is this coffin called a heavenly coffin? Han Wei immediately had a lot of doubts in his heart, seeing Lao Zheng take a few steps forward, it seemed that he wanted to study the jade coffin, and hurriedly blocked the front, if he didn't ask clearly, his heart would be uncomfortable.
Lao Zheng didn't know what Han Wei meant, and wanted to bypass it, but was blocked again. Lao Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "More than 2,000 years ago, the place of sacrifice to the sky was composed of the power of the six palaces and the power of the three talents, and the coffin placed on the altar belonged to the death sacrifice. And the place of worship to the heavens, why can't it be a tomb? ”
Han Wei heard it in a fog, these things were all heard for the first time, and they were some mysterious things, if he didn't explain them in detail, he wouldn't understand them at all. Han Wei didn't give way, waiting for Lao Zheng's further explanation, and Han Wei was even more curious about Lao Zheng's identity.
Lao Zheng saw that Han Wei was determined to know, and he originally followed him without fear, so he praised him, and now there are still many people waiting below, hesitated a little, and spoke again.
