Chapter 20: The Underground Coffin
When I wanted to go back to touch it, I found that the thing didn't know where I had hit it, I reached out and touched it down, and I touched the ground, and I was happy, and quickly said, "Let go, it's not high, it's the ground below." ”
As soon as Wang Chu let go of the hand holding my ankle, my body shifted my weight forward, and I crawled out of the rock crevice, and then lit a torch.
There seemed to be a lot of yellow phosphorus on the torch, and when it was first lit, it made two crackling sounds, and then the flames burst up, and I bent down to the ground by the light of the fire, and found that the thing I had just knocked out with my hand turned out to be a wolf's eye flashlight.
I hurriedly picked up the flashlight, and took a closer look, this flashlight is the same model as the one I used, it should be the seventh master they fell, I pressed the switch of the flashlight, and found that the flashlight went out after emitting a dim light, it seems that the seventh master They walked here The flashlight has also run out.
"Seventh Master, they've been here!" Then I raised the torch to take a picture of the whole tomb, there are two unicorn stone statues sitting in front of the tomb as if they are guarding something, there is a cylindrical stone platform in the middle of the unicorn, a bit like a grinding plate used in the countryside, the whole tomb is not big, but I did not find any trace of the seventh master, I was wondering, I saw that Wang Chuyi had walked towards the grinding plate.
"What did you find?" I raised my torch and followed.
"This millstone seems to be a mechanism." Wang Chuyi lowered his head and looked at the grinding disc carefully, then circled around the grinding disc again, and finally shook his head, "I don't understand." ”
I lowered the torch a little, close to the millstone-like thing, only to see that the mill plate was densely engraved with a lot of ancient texts, as for what was engraved, I couldn't understand, but the edge of the mill disc a layer of relief caught my attention, as if it was a group of people plowing in the field, depicting the scene of spring ploughing, but the more I looked at this scene, the more I felt that something was wrong there, and I couldn't think of a reason for a while.
When I carefully observed the millstone, Wang Chuyi walked to my left, probably to check if there were other exits in the tomb, and when she passed by me, the shadow happened to be cast on the millstone, and I finally understood what was wrong with the millstone, it turned out to be the sun! The sun in this mill is not in the right position!
I handed the torch to Wang Chuyi, took out the compass from my bag, and found that the position of the sun was actually in the north!
You must know that the ancient people did not have watches, their time was generally to look at the sun, and the farmers were very industrious, basically the sunrise and sunset and rest, this picture is clearly the scene of the sunrise and the scene, how could the sun be in the north?
So I pressed the edge of the grinding disc with both hands to see if it could be rotated.
I turned the grinding disc to the left with both hands, and it took a lot of effort, but the grinding disc still didn't move, and just when I was about to give up, I suddenly heard a crisp sound of the grinding disc clicking, and it turned half a centimeter to the left.
I was happy in my heart, and sure enough, I deduced it well, this grinding disc can rotate, and I'm sure that this grinding disc is the starting device that opens a certain mechanism, maybe the seventh master also turned the grinding disc and went out of nowhere.
I continued to exert my strength, and when I wanted to turn the millstone again, Wang Chuyi suddenly whispered, "Be careful, it's not safe here." ”
When I heard her say this, I quickly looked up and looked around, the tomb was so small that the light source of a torch illuminated almost the entire tomb, and I didn't find anything suspicious.
Wang Chuyi pointed to the west wall, and I looked carefully and found that there was a row of finger-thick stone holes on the wall, and it was very deep, but it was very unevenly distributed.
Thinking of the trap mechanism in this ancient tomb, my mind began to think crankily, and in just two seconds, more than a dozen images popped up in my mind like a movie, imagining that there would be venom or poisonous gas flowing out of this stone hole, or that there would be a strong crossbow behind this small hole.
Thinking of this, I felt that it was the most likely to shoot crossbow arrows, this tomb was so small, if it was a crossbow arrow shot there, it would be really difficult to dodge.
I was fantasizing about the dangerous situation that I might encounter in a while, Wang Chu raised his torch and walked towards the small hole, then put his finger into the small hole and said, "This is a bullet hole, it seems that there was a fierce battle here just now." ”
As soon as she said this, I looked over there and noticed that there was still a pool of blood on the ground, but most of it had seeped into the sand layer of the ground, and I really couldn't see it if I didn't look closely.
Wang Chuyi touched the blood on the ground, and then walked towards me. "The blood stains are still fresh, they must have just been left behind."
In the ancient tomb, these can be felt, but can not see the danger is the most terrifying, I have seen the skills of the seventh master, even he is inevitably injured here, it can be seen how terrible the things they touched, I dare not think about it anymore, both hands turned the grinding plate in front of me, and in the blink of an eye, the sun on the grinding plate was turned to the east by me.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from under the burial chamber, and the millstone in front of me sank to the bottom of the floor, and then the whole burial chamber began to shake.
Wang Chu and I picked up our guns, back to back, nervous and on guard.
Now all my nerves are tense, and I think that no matter what the hell will pop up in a while, no matter what kind of thing will pop up, no matter what kind of thing will come out of it, I will give it a shuttle first.
The burial chamber shook for about five minutes, and then began to become quiet again, although there was no monster I imagined, but my forehead had oozed a lot of cold sweat, after a sigh of relief, I thought that this girl was going to laugh at me again, so I quickly reached out to wipe off the cold sweat on my forehead, and as soon as I turned around, I found that she also had a layer of cold sweat on her forehead, I just wanted to stimulate her two sentences, only to find that she didn't know when a sarcophagus appeared in the direction she was facing!
The nerves I had just relaxed tensed again: "This... Where did this thing come from? ”
Wang Chu held the gun and pointed at the sarcophagus, not even looking away, and said, "It rose from the ground." ”
I looked back at the grinding disc that had been lowered, and then at the sarcophagus, and dared to feel that this millstone and this sarcophagus were linked!
After carefully observing the entire tomb again, and making sure that there were no other changes except for this sarcophagus, I said to Wang Chuyi, "Go over and have a look." ”
Wang Chuyi snorted coldly: "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to protect me on the beam just now?" You go check it out. ”
Now I really want to slap myself twice, it's time for me, why am I doing this majesty on that beam, it's better now, I can only bite the bullet.
"But... Isn't it, a little girl like you... Only... It's up to us, the old man, to protect... Protection. I replied as I walked towards the sarcophagus, trying not to let my legs tremble.
Just as I got close to the sarcophagus, I suddenly noticed that there was something strange about this sarcophagus!
