Chapter 25: Kunlun Nu
We continued to set off along the tomb road, the endless darkness ahead made me feel that it was a very long tomb road, in fact we walked less than a hundred meters before turning a corner, the trend began to rise, the wall of the tomb road has changed, it is no longer the kind of green brick, the surface of the wall is coated with something, I have never seen this kind of thing, but judging from its smoothness, its function should be to prevent water.
I did a rough math of where we are now, which should be in the center of the lake bottom. That lake doesn't look very big, if according to the normal proportions, the maximum depth of the lake should be about 30 meters, from the depth we came down, we are now at least 50 meters below the bottom of the lake, thinking that more than 50 meters above the head is hundreds of millions of tons of water, I can't help but feel a sense of oppression in my heart.
A few minutes later, we came to a spacious burial chamber, said spacious, in fact, this burial chamber is only five or six square meters, but much more spacious than the tomb outside, the door of the burial chamber is open, and there are many traces of hard objects at the joints of the door cracks, it is estimated that it may have been done by Charried's expedition or the beard.
"According to the concept of the ancients regarding death as life, the design of this kind of building should be a side hall, strange, why the tomb road does not lead directly to the main tomb, but leads to the side hall, this design is too unreasonable." The glasses glanced around, and a cold flame lit up.
"Holy, why is the guy on the mural so ugly? Does the owner of this tomb like to watch the Water Margin? Isn't this the legendary Li Kui! Lei Zi pointed to the mural in front of him.
I was also attracted by the characters on the mural, contrary to the previous mural style, there is no longer that kind of white face and bloody scene, but a mural depicting the bustling city, the characters in the painting are brightly dressed, pedestrians shuttle, cars and horses are like dragons, hawkers and restaurants abound on the street, guests beckoning and laughing, lifelike, everywhere shows vitality, while lamenting the prosperity of the mural scene, but also admire the painter's superb painting skills.
In the very center of the street on the mural, there is a magnificent carriage parked in front of a restaurant, and three or five people are helping a dark-skinned man to the carriage, and many people in the restaurant have come out to see them off.
I took a closer look at the dark-skinned man, and I thought it was very strange, this guy was surprisingly black, even if the Asian yellow man had dark skin, he was not black to this extent, and the painter obviously put effort into this person, the drunken appearance was very realistic, his thick lips, white eyes, and curly short hair made me a little stunned, damn, isn't this an African?!
"Africans!" Lei Zi also saw it, and the two of us took a tacit look at it, and immediately wanted to kowtow to him.
Yu Su sneered: "Look at what you're fuss about, you see, the clothing characteristics of the characters on the murals, as well as the architectural styles of the houses on both sides of the street, are obviously from the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Tang Dynasty!" I suddenly remembered an encyclopedia book I once read, which introduced that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and many Central Asian and European countries had trade with the Tang Dynasty, at that time, China not only appeared a large number of European merchants, but also many Africans came to China, but they did not come to do business, but the Europeans sold black slaves from Africa, at that time the Tang people called them Kunlun slaves, so I said: "You mean, the black people on this mural are Kunlun slaves?" But isn't Kunlun slave a slave? But you see, there are so many people serving this guy on the mural, and that kind of bearing is obviously not a slave! ”
Uncle Yu said: "There is an old saying in my country, beating a dog to see the master, even if it is a slave, his identity is absolutely proportional to the identity of his master. Besides, at that time, the ordinary people could never afford to buy slaves, and the status of ordinary slaves was very high compared to the poor people. ”
"But there's one thing I don't understand." I asked, "Isn't this tomb from the Ming and Qing dynasties?" How can there be murals of Kunlun Nu in the Tang Dynasty? ”
"That's right!" Lei Zi made a very exaggerated expression: "This time it won't really cross, right?" ”
"What's going on!" Instead of looking at the murals, the glasses held a compass and looked at it in amazement.
We went up and noticed that the compass in the hand of the glasses was constantly spinning, and the hands were jumping wildly. I thought his compass was broken, so I took out my own compass, and found that it was the same thing, and when I looked at everyone else's, it was the same.
"There's a magnetic field here, and our compass is out of order." As Yu Su spoke, he walked back and forth in the tomb with a compass.
At this time, he heard a knocking sound from the side, and Lei Zi leaned over to the side wall, and after listening for a while, he said, "There is movement inside the wall?????? Ahh ”
We subconsciously looked at our compass and found that all the pointers were pointing to the thunderbolt, to be exact, the direction of the thunderbolt station.
Glasses walked up to Leizi in two steps, moved back and forth with a compass, and after a while, stood up again, kept groping and tapping on the wall, and then took out an awl-like thing from his backpack and scratched it back and forth on the smooth wall, and in less than half a minute, Glasses shouted: "Here!" Then he quickly inserted the awl in.
When I went up to take a look, I found that there was a gap more than one meter long where the awl was inserted, and the gap was very small, much thinner than a human hair.
The glasses moved up and down with an awl in the gap, and then we heard a click, and the gap slowly widened, and then we saw that there was a secret door here.
"Strange, why are all the secret doors here open outside? Isn't this a clear way to make it easy for outside tomb robbers to enter? I wondered.
The glasses' eyes were a little erratic, and he whispered, "The mechanism here is not set up for tomb robbers. ”
"Shenma?" Lei Zi said: "Is it designed for prostitutes?" ”
The glasses said, "Remember, was it easy for us to come in?" However, when he returned to the tomb, he could not find the way he had come. And the bug altar, the secret door is sealed on the outside, and we can't open it inside. This shows that these organs are not trying to prevent others from coming in, but trying to prevent the contents from getting out! ”
Damn, aren't we being forced to do so? The owner of this tomb is too vicious! It's a lot better than stopping people from coming in, I said. Suddenly I remembered the bones of the tomb robbers in the canal, and suddenly understood how they died, and it was much easier to trap the tomb robbers here than to prevent the tomb robbers from entering.
Lei Zi said: "Then we have to find that beard quickly, he has a detonator on him, if we really can't get out, we will use the detonator to blow up the door, and Lei Ye is quite good at directional blasting." ”
"I'm doing a fart, but I can't do it here!" Uncle Yu shouted: "The top of this tomb is the lake, the geological structure is absolutely unstable, once the explosion causes a collapse, we all have to be buried alive." ”
The glasses said: "It's not us who these organs want to trap, but him!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Kunlun Nu in the mural.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Yu Su's face suddenly changed: "What? Could it be that the thing in the information is him! ”
Just as the glasses were about to speak, the knock behind the secret door sounded again, and his face changed: "Not good! Can't let him out! As he spoke, he pushed open the secret door and rushed in.
