Lost in Southern Sichuan Chapter 37 Trapped

Further on, the space gradually closes from wide to the middle, and gradually becomes a square tomb passage.

The tomb is made of evenly sized stones, and although the surface is a little uneven, the whole is quite neat.

Tony and Dong Lao walked in front and signaled that we only need to follow along, and never touch anything.

The most reassuring thing for me is Zhang Genhuo, his out-of-the-box personality can easily pose a fatal threat to the team here, so I follow him closely.

"Brother, what are you doing, why are you sticking so close to me?"

I hammered him and scolded, "I'm afraid that if you accidentally touch something, then we're finished?" ”

We were arguing and moving forward, not paying attention to the road ahead, I bumped into the old horse's body at once, the smell of sweat suddenly hit my arms, I cursed: "I said the old horse, you bastard, why don't you stop and say nothing, it stinks to death." ”

The old horse kicked me and replied, "Isn't there a fucking road ahead?" ”

I looked ahead with the flashlight, and sure enough, there was a stone wall in front of me.

Are we on the wrong track? Or is there something wrong with the owner of this tomb, and he has built such a good tomb road, but it is a dead end in the end.

But it dawned on Tony as he touched the walls around him with his hand.

This could be a trap!

Sure enough, Tony used his hand to swim around the walls and pressed it down on a stone brick.

As a series of sounds sounded, the heavy stone wall in front of him actually began to rise slowly.

This is actually a stone gate.

I muttered, "It's a stone gate again, but this stone gate is quite thick......

Zhang Genhuo posted me recently at this time, and he asked, "Brother, what are you talking about?" Have you seen it before? ”

It occurred to me that I said this because I had seen it in Grandma Huang's cave before, but what I saw was an illusion.

At this time, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "No...... Nothing. Let's go inside. ”

After passing through the stone gate, I kept looking behind me twice, for fear that the stone gate would fall down again.

Tony walked very slowly in front of me, and I couldn't help but ask, "Togo, why is it slowing down?" ”

Tony was still walking slowly, his back looking hesitant, and he said, "There's no reason there should be a stone gate here...... What is the purpose? ”

Dong Lao also echoed: "Yes, this good tomb road, there is no point in suddenly coming to such a door, unless it is ......"

At the same time, there was a sudden sound of masonry rubbing behind him.

The two of them suddenly stopped, and at the same time shouted, "Not good! ”

We turned our heads to look, and saw that the stone gate was descending rapidly!

"Run!"

At this time, San'er, who was at the end of the team, changed the leader of the team and rushed towards the stone gate quickly.

But we have already walked dozens of meters, and the stone gate is descending extremely fast, unless it is a superman at this time, it will not be able to catch up anyway.

My worst fears have happened.

Sure enough, when San'er was already very close to the stone gate, the stone gate fell to the ground with a "bang".

We arrived, panting as oxen, and inspected the stone door to see if there was any chance of opening it again.

Tony fumbled around for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly.

Dong Lao said: "Sure enough, this is a mechanism for trapping the construction workers after the tomb is completed. You can only enter, not out! ”

When I heard this, my mind was a little confused, could it be that the person who built the tomb was so bad? Don't even let go of the people who work for him?

The old horse took a sip and said, "Damn, it was actually put on the table, there are so many of us, if we can't lift this broken stone." ”

Dong Lao shook his head and said: "You see that there is a groove in the ground, and the door happens to be stuck in it, it is undoubtedly carefully polished, and even a worm can't climb in, how can you work hard?" And since this thing is to trap the craftsman, there must be a card above the stone door, and it is difficult to open it by manpower alone. ”

If this stone door cannot be opened, and we can only rely on the mechanism outside, doesn't that mean that the place we are in now is in a desperate situation? There is no way out, and it is useless to have great wealth in front of you.

I said, "So we can't get out even if we get something?" ”

Dong Lao shook his head again and said: "That's not necessarily, let's take a look further, judging from the construction style of this tomb, the owner of the tomb likes to be simple and capable, and this tomb should not be too complicated." We just need to see if there are any remains of those craftsmen in the tomb. ”

I suddenly understood, and asked, "If there are no remains of those craftsmen, it proves that those craftsmen must have left a backup for themselves when they built this tomb, and if they escaped, it proves that there must be another way out." ”

Dong Lao nodded with satisfaction.

There is no doubt that Dong Lao is an authoritative existence in this regard, and the matter has come to this point, and we have only one way forward.

After continuing to move forward for about a hundred meters, I finally came to the end of this long tomb road, I really doubt that the owner of this tomb has some quirks, and actually designed such a long tomb road, is it to exhaust the person who robbed his tomb to death?

Fortunately, we finally saw hope, and what appeared in front of us was actually a burial chamber.

Tony stood in the doorway of the chamber and looked in, and I knew he was discerning the mechanism.

Suddenly, an unidentified object landed in the center of the tomb with a "snap".

We were so frightened that we took a few steps back, only to hear Zhang Gen laugh and say, "Haha, look at you scared, isn't there no mechanism?" ”

When we took a closer look, the one in the middle of the burial chamber was actually ...... A piece of meat......

We brought in a lot of meat, and Zhang Genhuo brought the most, and at this time he actually took out a piece of pork on his body as bait to test whether there was a mechanism.

I guess only Zhang Genhuo in this world can do this kind of thing, right?

Tony said, "Go in and have a look, and don't touch things as usual." ”

We rushed in, and Zhang Genhuo hurriedly hung the piece of pork back on his body, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it.

We looked around with a flashlight, and the tomb was quite large, and there seemed to be some frescoes on the walls around it, but it was too old to be distinguished.

In the center of the burial chamber, not far from Zhang Genhuo's piece of pork, there were two coffins.

Undoubtedly, this is exactly what Dong Lao has been looking for, he did not stop, waiting for Dahu and Dabiao to go straight to the coffin.

The three of them first circled around one of the smaller coffins, presumably doing some necessary checks.

After that, Dong Lao instructed: "Da Biao open the lid, Da Hu bracket, let's turn it over!" ”

This opening of the lid is to open the coffin and open the lid of the coffin. The shelf is actually a tool used by tomb robbers in this part of Jincheng.

Tomb robbery and gold, as the saying here is called, it is also called turning salted fish, so what they want to do now is to search the ancient corpses in this coffin.

Da Biao had a lot of strength, and cooperated with Da Hu, and opened the coffin lid in a few clicks, I wanted to go up to see what this ancient corpse looked like, but when I got closer, suddenly a salty smell forced me back, I retched a few times, and hurriedly covered my nose with my clothes.

This salted fish is too fucking image, and it doesn't taste as good as salted fish.

After pushing the lid of the coffin off, Dahu took out a triangular wooden stand from his bag, and his three legs were supported on the three sides of the coffin, which was just right to cover the upper body of the corpse.

Finally, driven by curiosity, I slowly covered my nose and came to their side, padding my feet to look inside the coffin.

Dong Lao looked at me, stopped the movements in his hand, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you are optimistic, judging from the characteristics of this corpse, it is obvious that it is a female corpse, of course, you can also see it from the clothes." So what we are in now must be a partial room, and these two must be the wives and concubines of the tomb owner. Alas, it's a pity. ”

I covered my nose and said vaguely, "What a pity? ”

Dong Lao looked at the female corpse and said: "After a person gets old, the bones will undergo some changes, but judging from the characteristics of this female corpse, this person did not die of old age, and should be buried for the owner of the tomb. ”

When I heard this, I unconsciously looked at the female corpse, which was already half a white skeleton at this time, and I couldn't see what it looked like, but I thought she must have been very reluctant when she died.

Dong Lao said again: "Looking at the characteristics of this costume, it should not be our race in the Central Plains. Judging from the civilizations that have appeared in this generation, these people are likely to be the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom that has disappeared for a long time. This corpse has obviously done some embalming, but it didn't play a big role, this corpse has some dry skin left, and the rest is still rotten into a pile of white bones, and sure enough, compared with our Central Plains, it is still a big difference......"

I frowned and asked, "Shu Kingdom?" Is it the Shu Kingdom established by Liu Bei? Then isn't this the tomb of the Later Han Dynasty, we are going to make a fortune! ”

Dong Lao laughed and said: "My shopkeeper, this ancient Shu country and Shu country are two different things, there is nothing between them, and according to the current information, the ancient Shu country is earlier than the Shu country......

Seeing that I was confused, Dong Lao didn't explain to me anymore, but just jumped into the coffin.

He put his feet on the two long sides of the coffin, then knelt on them, and then leaned down and used the rope on the triangular support to tie the body in the coffin.

I found out that this coffin is actually very deep, if you just tie it with your hands, I am afraid it will be very difficult, not to mention, if the strength is not well controlled, it will destroy the structure of the corpse.

There is also some morality in the business of turning salted fish, only seeking money, if you ask for money and destroy the whole body of others, it is too inhumane.

However, like Dong Lao's current behavior, I'm afraid it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, I really can't imagine that Dong Lao's old bones still have this flexibility.

Dong Lao muttered while tying up the corpse: "Damn, I didn't expect the old man to do such a thing with an old bone, alas! Xiaohu, you really don't deserve to die......"

Only then did I remember that Xiaohu's figure seemed to be similar to Dong Lao, both of them were extremely thin, and their muscle lines were very clear.

People of this size are very light, have a low body fat percentage, and have high muscle explosiveness, which is very suitable for this kind of difficult work.

On the other hand, Da Hu and Da Biao, let's not talk about whether they can bend down this waist, just their weight, the ancient coffin can't bear it, and it is very likely to be trampled on.

After Dong Lao tied up the body, he straightened up again and ordered, "Hang salted fish." ”

When Da Biao and Da Hu heard this, they grabbed a rope and slowly pulled the body through the two bearings on the bracket, and after a while, the female corpse actually sat up from the coffin.

If the strength is not mastered enough, the female corpse will definitely be broken in half at the waist, and I think to myself, this is really a craft......
