Chapter 6: Dried Corpses
We don't dare to fall behind in such a dangerous place, although we are nervous and vigilant, but we don't dare to slow down at all, for fear of losing it, but who would have thought, until the entrance of the cave was stolen, I didn't see a scorpion, I was wondering, the seventh master said, "I wonder why there are no scorpions, right?" ”
We all nodded our heads.
The seventh master took out a seven or eight meter-long rebar nail, motioned for the tiger to smash into the position next to the thief hole, and then said, "Scorpions, this kind of insect, no matter what species, are blind, and their eyesight is extremely poor, but their sense of smell and touch is particularly developed, especially for all kinds of strong smells, such as paint, gasoline, kerosene, asphalt, and various chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, quicklime, etc. ”
Then, he pulled a can of paint out of his backpack and looked up at us.
I quickly took it, pulled the lid of the paint bucket, took the brush, and applied a thick layer of paint on my chest, thighs, calves, and shoes, and let the tiger brush two brushes on my back.
Then the seventh master said, "This scorpion has a developed sense of touch, mainly by vibration positioning, when it goes down for a while, try to lighten it under your feet, although the scorpion does not dare to approach us now, but the big vibration alarms them to run around, in case it touches any mechanism, it will be troublesome." ”
We nodded our heads.
At this time, Huzi had already nailed the seven or eight meters of rebar to the mouth of the thief hole, and only the end of the nail head was still seven or eight centimeters, and the seventh master took out a bundle of mountaineering rope and tied it to the nail head. He was the first to pull the rope into the thief hole, and I followed him closely, followed by Huzi and Huanzi.
After entering the thief cave, I walked forward seven or eight meters, and I came across the explicit corpse I saw last time, but now the only bit of skin and flesh left on the corpse's arm has also been air-dried, and it has become a veritable dried corpse.
The Seventh Master glanced at the arm of the dried corpse, was shocked, and whispered, "It turned out to be him!" ”
I asked a few questions, wondering who this dry corpse was, only to see the seventh master wave his hand, "Go down first, and then talk about it later." ”
We continued to climb down, after passing the narrowest place of the thief hole, the space in front of the door gradually increased, the thief hole under the feet was also a lot flatter, and we were able to bow forward, in order to save the power of the flashlight, only the flashlight of the seventh master who walked in the front was on, and we walked forward one by one, at this time the whole thief hole was very quiet, only the wheezing sound of the four of us, and the sound of mixed footsteps.
Since Huzi and I were both going to the tomb for the first time, we were still very uncomfortable in this extremely dark environment, and we were afraid that something strange would happen, so we walked very slowly, and Huan Zi urged several times in the back.
I was about to turn around and scold him, I felt a hand on my shoulder, I felt that the weight of the body had increased a lot, although this thief hole was a lot wider than the previous section, but still couldn't stand up straight, I could only keep hunching over, now I was tired of my waist was sore, I thought that it must be the tiger that guy couldn't stand it, put his hand on my shoulder to borrow strength, so he didn't look back, scolded "Huzi, you fucking walk slowly, don't fucking put on my shoulder, I'm also very tired." ”
I only listened to the tiger scolding behind him, "Damn, who took your shoulder, you are not a little girl, oops...... My waist, if I don't fuck it anymore, this waist will break. ”
I heard Huzi say this, a cold sweat came out, although I am the first time to go to the tomb, but about the ancient and strange legends of this tomb, but not less, what zombies, zongzi, all of them are the master who can kill people, think about the time when I went down the robbery hole just now, Huzi followed me, and Huanzi in the end, this robbery hole is very narrow, can only accommodate one person through, it is impossible for Huanzi to cut the queue and run in front of Huzi, but if it is not Huzi, then who will it be? Could it be that there is someone else in this thief's hole? Could it really be that you ran into some zombie dumplings? I hurriedly turned on the flashlight and took a picture of it backwards.
I only saw a corpse that had not been completely dried, two green eyes on the shriveled head were staring at me, at this time the corpse was leaning on my back, I had never seen this situation, I was scared to scream, my legs were soft and my buttocks sat on the ground, the body involuntarily stroked downward, the corpse lost its support point, and it was lying on my body, the head of the corpse hit my head at once, I and the corpse just face to face down, his eyes glowing green were looking at me, I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.
After about two meters of rowing, I only felt something hit my back, stopped, turned my head and looked, it was the seventh master who turned around and pressed my back with his wooden leg.
I was terrified, "Seven... Seventh master, there are zongzi..., dry corpse zongzi! ”
The seventh master looked at me, stretched out his right hand with an iron hook, hooked the head of the dried corpse, and hooked him off me, "What zongzi, it's a dried corpse." ”
After the seventh master got the dried corpse off me, I breathed a sigh of relief and took a closer look, this dry corpse really won't move, it looks very similar to the dry corpse near the entrance of the robbery cave, but the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, it's not strange that a dry corpse appeared in the robbery cave of the ancient tomb, but how could this dry corpse suddenly appear behind me?
In such a narrow thief hole, if there is a dry corpse, it must be the first to be seen by the Seventh Master, and it will definitely remind us that the situation just now is clearly that the Seventh Master did not see this dried corpse when he walked by, and this dried corpse appeared directly behind me as if it fell from the sky, which is really creepy.
The seventh master took a closer look at the dry corpse, "This dried corpse should be a woman, and it should be in the same group as the tomb robber who died at the entrance of the cave, I don't know how many people they came." ”
When Huzi heard that the dry corpse was a woman, he joked, "I said brother, you are too attractive, this female dry corpse is going to tease you." ”
I scolded Huzi and asked the seventh master, "Why did this dry corpse suddenly appear behind me?" ”
The seventh master shook his head, also said that he didn't know, signaled us to be careful, and then asked, "It's the first time I've seen such a long thief hole, we have walked thirty meters, right?" ”
Huanzi said, "There should be." ”
I took a closer look at the thief hole, although I walked 30 meters, but the thief hole in order not to collapse is inclined to the rock layer above the veins to hit, not straight up and down, although I walked 30 meters, now it is about 10 meters away from the ground.
The seventh master picked up the flashlight and shone it forward, I leaned forward, and found that there was still a road to go in front, and it was estimated that there must be about 20 meters, thinking that this tomb must be a royal tomb, in ancient times, the average person went down to the tomb, at most five or six meters, and the depth of the tomb of the great official was only a dozen meters, and now we have been more than ten meters underground, but we have not seen anything, the top of the tomb, the tomb door has not been seen, so I dare to conclude that this is a royal tomb, otherwise it can't be so deep.
With this thought, I unconsciously quickened my pace, until the end of the entire robbery cave, the seventh master stopped, I quickly took out a flashlight, and shone it forward.
Two huge bluestone doors stand impressively in front of us, seven or eight meters high, with a giant dragon carved on the left and right, this kind of dragon is not the kind of dragon that is often seen on the dragon robe of the Qing Dynasty emperor in TV dramas, but it should be a dragon in the Han Dynasty or before the Han Dynasty, the carving technique is very superb, the dragon looks lifelike, but if you look closely, you always feel that something is missing, and you can't think of it for a while.
There was a black mass in the crack of the stone gate, and when I went up and smelled it, I could smell a faint smell of gunpowder, which must have been used by a group of tomb robbers here! But seeing that the two stone doors have not been opened, it is clear that they did not enter through here.
The seventh master was in front of the stone gate, measuring his steps left and right, and each of the two stone doors was more than four meters wide.
The seventh master scolded, "It seems that you can't get in here." ”
Huanzi also saw the traces of the explosives, and said, "Seventh Master, this stone gate must have at least dozens of tons, or even hundreds of tons, and the explosives have not exploded...... Huanzi did not finish speaking, Huzi said impatiently, "Damn, just run for nothing?" Such a large stone pimple door can't be opened even with rocket artillery, and I don't know how people got it in ancient times. ”
To be honest, when I saw this stone gate, I also felt a chill in my heart, similar to Huzi's reaction, but after thinking about it, I said, "Seventh Master, if the door here has not been opened, how did a group of tomb robbers bring out the black box?" Could it be that it's not from this tomb? Did they bring it when they came? ”
The Seventh Master pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be, generally the inverted bucket takes the spiritual weapon from the inside to the outside, and I have never seen the inverted bucket come in with the spiritual weapon." ”
Huzi smiled, pointed to the seventh master's pocket and said, "Didn't your old man come in with a spiritual weapon?" What gossip what plate? ”
Huan Zi said, "The gossip compass, that's different, it's used to fix the acupoints, it doesn't count." ”
Just as we were thinking hard about how we could open these two bluestone doors, the seventh master suddenly stood up, "There is!" So that's it! ”
The Seventh Master stood up and walked towards the thief cave we had just entered in the back, walking very fast, beckoning us to follow as he went.
"Seventh Master, are you going to give up?" I asked puzzled.
The seventh master turned his head, probably seeing the three of us looking depressed, and then sighed and said, "We're going back to the place where Lao Bai touched the dried corpse just now." ”
As soon as I heard that my scalp was numb, I hurriedly asked, "What are you doing there, the devil knows if there are more dried corpses, maybe there is an army of dried corpses waiting for us, I see, let's see if this stone gate can be opened, I read the book and said, isn't this kind of stone gate all kinds of mechanisms or something?" Let's find out. "As soon as I heard the seventh master say that the dry corpse, I was a hundred unwilling to go, the scene just now really scared me, and now when I hear it, my heart is still sudden.
The seventh master scolded angrily and said, "This stone gate weighs 100 tons, * it hasn't exploded, our existing equipment can't be opened at all, even if there is a mechanism, it will definitely not be outside, who will leave a mechanism to open the door for future generations to steal their tomb?" Do you have a mind spinning in circles? ”
The Seventh Master took a flashlight and shone it into the thief hole, and then said, "This thief hole is so narrow, it is impossible for a dry corpse to come out of the ground, and it is impossible for it to appear out of thin air, then there is only one possibility!" ”
The three of us asked in unison, "What is possible?" ”
