Chapter 220: The Threshold
At this moment, the wooden door creaked, and it moved! The three of us were too close to this door, and the sudden sound frightened us into retreating.
Huzi raised the flashlight and shone it into the crack of the door, with the help of the light of the flashlight, I suddenly found that there was a black shadow in the crack of the door, flashing, very fast, I couldn't see what it was.
Huzi asked cautiously, "Lao Bai, that black shadow just now, could it be the ghost mouse Lao Jiu?" ”
I shook my head, the speed of the black shadow was too fast, and the light was very dim, I couldn't see anything clearly, let alone recognize the ghost and mouse Lao Jiu.
The corridor of the tomb became quiet again, except for the breathing of the three of us, there was no sound anymore, and the wooden tomb door did not change after the movement just now, I raised the flashlight and carefully shone around the tomb door, trying to find the reason why the tomb door suddenly opened.
But I took pictures for a long time, and found that there were no other things around the tomb door except for the cliffs that were dyed with red paint, and these cliffs had been polished and made very smooth, and there was no protrusion at all, and there would be no mechanism.
Seeing this, I feel very strange, there is no wind in the corridor of this tomb, and the tomb door is automatic without wind, could it be that behind this tomb door, there is really some person or animal that opens this tomb door?
Thinking of this, I am even more puzzled, but the current situation, the entire tomb corridor is very wide, it seems that the exit is only the tomb door in front, if we don't enter, we can only return the same way.
When I came over just now, Huzi and Wang Chuyi talked and laughed and didn't notice the horror of the surrounding environment, but I carefully observed all the way over, along the way, those wax corpses were almost all over the corridor, and I also counted carefully, there were at least thirty or forty people, and they were in different shapes, each wax corpse's face had an extremely distorted expression of pain, if I was asked to go back and walk again now, it was really challenging my psychological limit.
At this moment, Huzi turned on the flashlight, took two steps forward, and said, "Damn, whatever he is, let's open the tomb door first!" As he spoke, Huzi stretched out his hand and pushed towards the tomb door.
I only heard a squeak, and the tomb door was pushed open by Huzi, and I looked down to see that there was a stone threshold under the tomb door!
I took a flashlight and took a careful photo, the threshold of this kind of thing, in ancient China can be seen everywhere, in the eyes of the ancients, this threshold is not only a threshold, but also has the effect of shielding dirt and evil spirits, but now we are in the tomb, in front of a tomb door, the environment here is extremely yin, here to set the threshold to ward off evil spirits is not a superfluous move?
At this time, Wang Chuyi leaned beside me and said, "This threshold for the living to ward off evil spirits, will the dead stop the tomb robbers?" Beware of the traps! "I heard Wang Chuyi say this, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, what she said is very reasonable, the ancients were very particular about the threshold, and now they appear in the tomb, maybe it is to prevent someone from entering the ancient tomb and disturbing the owner of the tomb, so the threshold is set up, if this is the case, there will definitely be an organ above.
I turned on the flashlight, carefully illuminated the threshold, and muttered in my heart, this threshold from ancient times to the present, most of them are divided into three kinds, one is directly fixed in the groove of the door sleeper stone, the height is small, and you can step over; One is movable, inserted into a wooden groove on the sleeper stone when needed or bolted between two sleeper stones with a wooden bolt, with a height of about two feet; There is also a kind of threshold is a pair of small doors that can be opened and closed freely under the large board door, the height is basically more than three feet, and some even reach six or seven feet, and there will be a small wooden or stone threshold two or three inches high under the small door.
But the threshold in front of him is different from these three, I saw that he didn't reach the left and right, that is, he didn't hold the door frame, and left and right sides with a distance of about ten centimeters, as if to facilitate something to pass through.
Below the threshold is a raised stone trough, about five centimeters or so, used to fix the threshold, I stood on the left side of the door, looking always a little awkward, so I took two steps to the right, came to the front of the tomb door, looked at it, couldn't help but gasp, although the tomb door was only opened once, but a yin and evil breath came to the face.
At this moment, Huzi suddenly shouted, "Lao Bai, look, the ground inside this door is different from the ground we are standing on now!" ”
Huzi flashed a flashlight to the inside of the tomb door, Wang Chu and I could look inside, but before I could see the difference, I saw a black shadow rushing out of the gap on both sides of the threshold, the speed of the black shadow was extremely fast, and when I reacted, it was too late, I only felt that my ankle was entangled by something, and the whole person was dragged forward.
I only heard a "bang", my body hit the threshold heavily, and then there was a pull on the ankle, I grabbed the threshold with both hands, the whole body almost became suspended, and the black shadow on the ankle was also very powerful, and now I and the black shadow were like a tug-of-war.
When Huzi and Wang Chu saw this, they hurriedly rushed up, and the two of them were on one side, holding my arm, trying to pull me out of the tomb door, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a creaking sound and remembered, and a very bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart, and I hurriedly looked up.
I saw that now my neck happened to be directly above the threshold, and above my head, I don't know when, a sharp giant blade appeared, and the entire tomb door, from the threshold, to the door frame, and then to the giant blade hanging above my head, seemed to be a decapitator.
Seeing this, I was so frightened that I shouted, "Quick, let go of me!" While shouting, he tried his best to break free from the hands of Huzi and Wang Chuyi.
But the two of them didn't find the problem, they still grabbed my arm, not letting me be dragged in by the black shadow, just like this, both sides formed a both, my whole person was pulled and couldn't move, nervously looking at the huge blade hanging above my head, shouting "Damn, look, look at it!" ”
Huzi and Wang Chuyi looked up at the same time, when they saw the things on their heads clearly, the two of them let go of their hands at the same time, I only felt that my body was loose, the whole body was close to the ground, and the whole person slid towards the depths of the dark tomb, leaving only the shouts of Huzi and Wang Chuyi still lingering.
I was dragged by the thing for about twenty meters, and then I stopped, and felt as if the thing wrapped around my ankle had receded, and then I immediately got up from the ground and hurriedly shone the space in front of me with a flashlight, and at the same time the Miao knife was already in my hand.
