Chapter 339: Chime Funeral Song
"Be careful, I guess this grave road is not safe!" The eighth said in a low voice, already holding the long knife in his hand, and stepped forward first.
The seventh master followed him closely, and Wang Chuyi and I also groped forward, only to see the eighth child carefully kick the bones on the ground with his feet, almost inch by inch, while walking, he looked nervously at both sides, and said while looking, "These bones have no external injuries, I guess they should be poisoned, let's quickly put on the gas mask so as not to go wrong for a while." ”
As soon as I heard what the old man said, I put on the gas mask almost as quickly as possible, and now this skill is much faster than when I was in the army, if the tiger is here, I am afraid that I will have to ridicule me again, I remember when I was training to wear a gas mask in the army, I was always the last, and now it is at the critical juncture, but the action has become very neat.
After putting on the gas mask, the field of vision is somewhat limited, we almost walked forward one by one, after walking about ten meters, sure enough, there was a visible green mist in front of us, fortunately the old eight reminded in time, otherwise we may have to fold in this tomb.
He turned his head to look at us, waved at us, and signaled to stop.
Now we are in a position, just surrounded by the green mist, although wearing a gas mask, can temporarily resist for a period of time, but stopping in this green fog is always a dangerous thing, I panicked to look ahead, only to see that in front of us, about seven or eight meters away, is the end of the tomb, and in the direction of the end of the tomb, there is a set of huge bells, this set of bells placed horizontally there, almost to block the exit of the entire tomb.
Lao Ba's voice came from the heavy gas mask, "This chime is not quite right, brothers, be careful, don't touch it." After saying that, Lao Ba carefully continued to walk forward, and soon we came to the chime, I looked forward through the glass mirror of the gas mask, and saw that the number of chimes was huge, probably due to the green mist in the air containing highly poisonous, so that these bronze chimes were preserved very completely, about fifteen meters long, divided into three layers up and down, different sizes, and looked quite atmospheric.
Wang Chuyi seemed to be more interested in this chime, took two steps forward, came to the closest position to the chime, looked up, and said, "This is a treasure, it's a pity that we can't take it out, otherwise, the value of this set of chimes can be regarded as a national treasure." ”
Lao Ba said in a deep voice, "Oh, I said that this aunt is really joking, are there still few national treasure-level artifacts that we have seen in this business?" Don't say that this chime can't be taken out, even if it is taken out, do you dare to sell it? Even if you dare to sell it, no one will dare to accept it! It's not like you have to turn it over to the state honestly. ”
As he spoke, the eighth child bypassed the bell and walked into the tomb, and I looked closely, and the bell was arranged into 8 groups in order of size and pitch and hung on the three-story bell frame. The top 3 groups of 19 pieces are button bells, the shape is smaller, there are square buttons, there are seal inscriptions, but the text is cylindrical, the pieces are columnar characters are less, and only the sound name is marked.
A total of 45 pieces of 5 groups in the middle and lower layers are Yong bells, with long handles, and the bell body is decorated with embossed pan patterns, which are fine and exquisite.
When I bypassed the bell and came to the left side of the bell, I suddenly found that the pillar of the bell was densely engraved with many ancient texts, and the ancient texts were very small.
So I hurriedly asked Lao Ba to come over and take a look, after all, he is the only person here who can read ancient Chinese.
"Eighth, what's written on it?"
Because this ancient text is too small, the eighth still can't see clearly after getting closer, so he can only pout his buttocks, try to put his face close to the pillar of the chime, but at this moment, the eighth seems to have forgotten that he still has a gas mask on his head, and one is careless, because he is too close, the gas mask hits the pillar of the chime, and the strength of the impact is not big, but the chime is like a demon, it rings by itself, and it is very regular, the sound is a piece of music, and it sounds very wonderful.
"Oh no, get back!" The seventh master exclaimed, pulled me and Wang Chuyi bypassed the bell and rushed into the tomb, at the same time, suddenly the whole tomb wall on the everlasting lamp was all lit up, the originally dim tomb, suddenly became very bright, several of us were stunned, before we could understand what was going on, we heard a thumping sound from the corner of the tomb, turned to see, it turned out to be a snakeskin drum, at this time it sounded by itself.
"Fuck, what the hell is going on?" I yelled, only to hear a wave of friction in the tomb where we came before, and I had heard this kind of friction sound before, so I could make a judgment in an instant, it should be the bones in the tomb that were moving!
For a moment, the sound of drums, chimes, and the grinding of bones in the tomb crept into our ears, as if this was not a tomb at all, but a lively palace.
Just when I was still confused, I suddenly heard the sound of the piano, followed by the wolf, vaguely I can also hear the sound of the flute, I looked back, only to see a huge high platform in the northwest side of the tomb high uplift, the high platform into a cylindrical shape, this stone pillar high platform is huge, the carving on it is exquisite, staggering, only to see its base is a double dragon snake shape, the dragon body curls upward, looking back, the snake is located on the dragon's head again, coiled opposite, the momentum emerges.
However, on this high platform, a flat guqin is making a sound, the guqin is flattened, decorated with pan, and the two ends are engraved with plum blossom patterns, which looks quite exquisite.
At this time, the sound of the entire burial chamber is combined, and people are intoxicated to listen to it, as if they are in a fairyland.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he slapped me on the shoulder, I would have been able to dance.
"Don't be stunned!" The eighth roared and woke Wang Chuyi from his intoxication, and then said, "I read the ancient text of the chime just now, there are some cursed words written on it, and the curse is very vicious, although the music made by these instruments in unison is beautiful, it can kill you!" ”
Lao Ba's words came out of his throat with a low voice, which made people tremble unconsciously when they heard it, and suddenly focused all their attention on Lao Ba's voice, and temporarily forgot the music.
At this time, the seventh master also lowered his voice and said in the same tone, "This is a funeral song, a mourning music!" Don't focus on these sounds, or the consequences will be severe! After the seventh master finished speaking, he took out the climbing rope, raised his hand and pulled it towards the high lift, wanting to use the climbing rope to pull the guqin back.
But a strange thing happened, the mountaineering rope thrown out by the seventh master failed to throw on the stone platform, but fell to the ground when it was still more than a meter away from the stone platform.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chuyi and I couldn't help frowning, we all know the strength and skill of the Seventh Master, since he made a move, it will never fail, unless there are some restrictions near the high platform!
At this time, the seventh master was also shocked, and said, "It seems that the situation is not good, once this funeral song starts, the mechanism of the entire tomb will be activated, we have to find a way to stop these instruments!" ”
As soon as the seventh master's words fell, the eighth took out a long knife and walked towards the chime, seeing what he meant, he wanted to raise the knife and cut the chime.
After seeing his movements, Wang Chuyi rushed over with a brisk step, stopped the eighth, and asked loudly, "The eighth, what do you want to do?" ”
Lao Ba's tone was not kind, and he said, "What are you doing?" Of course, it smashed it, and if it continues to be so loud, the brothers will be in trouble. ”
"No! You can't smash it, it's a national treasure, and when we get out, I'm going to notify the national archaeological team anonymously to excavate this chime, you can't smash it. ”
When Lao Bayi heard Wang Chuyi's words, he immediately sighed and said, "I really can't see it, Grandma, you still have such a high ideological consciousness, why did you go earlier?" Why bother to be the captain of the school? Wouldn't it be better to be an archaeologist? ”
Although Lao Ba said so, he had already put away the long knife in his hand, and it seemed that he still supported Wang Chuyi's suggestion.
At this moment, the seventh master spoke, "Okay, don't make trouble, eighth, even if you smash the chime, this funeral song will not stop, you should know this." ”
Lao Ba nodded and said, "Aren't I angry, a good chime is actually playing a funeral song, how unlucky." ”
At this moment, I suddenly saw a vague white figure appear in front of the chime, holding a T-shaped wooden hammer in one hand, and a long rod in the other hand striking the bronze bell, and the movement was very light, it looked like a fairy, but through the blurred white light and shadow, I saw the real thing, it was a moving skeleton.
Immediately afterwards, next to the drum and the guqin on the stone platform, this white light and shadow appeared, and the light and shadow were wrapped in skeletons that crawled out of the tomb, not to mention how terrifying the whole scene looked.
"Seventh Master, what now?" I watched one skeleton after another appear in this tomb, and my soul was almost scared, and I didn't care about listening to any music.
At this time, the seventh master frowned and said, "It's okay, these skeletons should just repeat what they did before they were alive, and they won't attack us, let's wait and see, I guess there are still strange things in this tomb." ”
Looking at the skeletons around me, I only felt my scalp tingle, and my heart said what the hell is this tomb for, could it be that the owner of this tomb liked music when he was alive? A musician? Dead and still starting a band in your own grave? Sing a song to yourself or something?
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, the cold sweat had penetrated the back of my clothes, and the most terrible thing was that I already felt cold, and the temperature of this burial chamber seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant.
