Chapter 63: Human Face Alley
The seventh master raised the torch and walked into the tomb first, and then by the light of the torch, I found that the walls on both sides of the entire tomb were densely packed with human faces, and I don't know how long the tomb was, just the range illuminated by the seventh master's torch was enough to have twenty or thirty faces, this face had different expressions, I saw the one at the very edge of the tomb, the expression was very sad, and the one next to it was a distorted face, with closed eyes and a wide open mouth, as if wailing in pain.
I stood up, followed the seventh master inside, looked at the tomb walls on both sides, as if they were piled up with their heads, and felt a tingling of scalp.
Huzi was bold, touched the face on the wall, and said, "Damn it, it's wax!" This can't be an ancient wax museum, right? ”
I scolded, "Damn, there are no wax figures in ancient times, and even contemporary masters can't necessarily make wax figures so realistic." ”
The seventh master said in a gloomy voice, "These are all real human heads, wrapped in a layer of transparent wax!" And then they were built into the wall with the masonry, and by this length, there must be eight thousand heads of men, not ten thousand. ”
Huzi said as he walked, "Damn, is the owner of this tomb crazy?" There are scorpions in that doubtful tomb, and the main tomb is full of human faces, since we came here, we have encountered all kinds of evil faces, what the hell is the owner of this tomb doing. ”
Huzi muttered to himself, and no one paid attention to him, compared to the current tomb road is too eerie and terrifying, everyone's attention is almost focused on the front and feet, for fear of encountering something like something.
Everyone walked very carefully along the way, I carefully observed the faces of the people along the way, and found that although their expressions were different, their hairstyles were relatively consistent, and it was estimated that they should be Huns.
After walking for about ten minutes, the tomb road finally came to an end, and a Z-shaped step appeared, one down, one up, and the seventh master stood in front of the steps and watched for a long time, and he didn't know which one to take.
At this moment, Wang Chuyi pointed to the front and said, "Look, there is something in front!" ”
By the light of the torches, I saw that there was indeed a very tall bulge directly in front of us, boxy, and I don't know what it was.
Huzi stepped up the steps, raised the torch and shone it, and said, "Damn it, stone monument!" ”
The Seventh Master looked up for a long time, and then said, "So that's the case!" The person buried in this main tomb is really a member of the Li clan of the King of Xiliang, and the tomb just now should be buried by a general of Beiliang, and then ......"
I have a lot of research on this history, in the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Beiliang and Xiliang fought for a long time, of which the Northern Liang army was better than the Western Liang, and often raised troops to invade, and the Western Liang was mostly defensive.
At that time, the king of Xiliang was called Li Hui, because he could not bear the long-term harassment of Beiliang, in 405 AD, Li Wei moved the capital to Jiuquan, and died of illness not long after, and his son Li Xin succeeded to the throne.
In the end, Xiliang was captured, Li Xin, the king of Xiliang, was killed, and his younger brother Li Sui defended Dunhuang, and finally was captured by Mengxun of Beiliang Fuqu, and was slaughtered, and this Xiliang Dynasty, which only existed for 21 years, disappeared from history.
After I heard the seventh master read the inscription, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, the general buried in the underground palace just now was really a hero, although he was a Huns, but his courage was really admirable.
According to the inscription, the only great victory of the tomb owner was to capture the general, and forced him to hand over the talisman, but the whole body was still not found, after all kinds of torture, the general still did not hand over the talisman, the tomb owner was angry, he and his subordinates were all killed, the head of the tomb in the tomb is his subordinate.
When the general was killed, he was born with a vision, and suddenly thunder and lightning suddenly occurred on a sunny day, and three executioners in a row were killed by thunder and lightning, so no one dared to cut off his head, and finally he could only be hanged on the execution table.
Later, the owner of the tomb was haunted by nightmares for days, so he chose to move the capital, and then he was seriously ill, and before he died, because he was too afraid of the general's soul, he ordered someone to find his body and bury him in the murderous position of this ancient tomb to suppress him.
At this time, Huzi turned around, bowed in the direction of the dungeon just now, and said, "Damn, a manly husband should be like this, he should be a hero!" Death is also a ghost! ”
When I heard Huzi say this, I also felt a lot of pride in my heart, this dead person can have such a great deterrent, which shows how brave he was in life.
At this time, the seventh master coughed and said, "Okay, don't sigh, no matter how powerful he is, he is dead now, let's think about whether we go down or go up." ”
I looked at the stairs in front of me and realized that the main burial chamber was more likely to be underground, so I suggested going down.
Huzi also agreed with me and said, "The Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Let's go down. ”
Finally, we held the torch and began to walk down the stairs, the stairs were built very neatly, the height distance of each step was basically the same, and as we walked, we found that blue light began to appear not far ahead, and there were many of them.
I immediately stopped and said, "Seventh Master, it seems to be very ...... down there"
The Seventh Master opened his mouth and interrupted my words: "These blue fires are a kind of phosphine formed by the gradual decomposition of the body after a person dies, and this thing will burn after it touches the air, which is also called ghost fire, but looking at the number of corpses below, there should be a lot." ”
After listening to the explanation of the seventh master, the panic in my heart gradually disappeared, the further down the steps, the more slippery it became, the light of the torch could no longer meet the current environment, I could only take out the strong flashlight and go down.
I only found that this is a huge naturally formed rock vein, how deep the steps go down is still not visible, but it feels very bad, the air around me began to become damp, I touched the wall, it felt cold to the bone, and I felt that there were water dripping from the top of my head, and some happened to be dripping in my neck, and the water droplets were so cold that it felt like freshly melted ice water, and it was cold and shocking.
This step kept walking, as if it couldn't be finished, and after walking for five or six minutes, I still didn't see the bottom, so I asked the seventh master, "Seventh master, didn't we run into the soul ladder?" ”
The seventh master shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this is by no means a soul ladder, go down and see where it leads." ”
I walked down carefully, and the steps under my feet had begun to appear moss, and after walking for about two minutes, at the end of the flashlight, I finally saw the end of the steps, and a wide flat ground appeared in front of me.
I hurriedly quickened my pace, almost at the same time as the seventh master, and then turned on the flashlight and swept around, and couldn't help shouting, "My mom!" ”
