21. Evil beast dog god
"Click."
A soldier lit the miner's lamp, a high-intensity pillar of light that instantly illuminated the surroundings as if it were day.
Yan Jun subconsciously narrowed his eyes, then looked forward, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
There is a coffin!
This is indeed the main burial chamber!
I saw a magnificent hall in front of me, with a large tripod and a stone incense case for worship in the middle.
According to the direction to look at the back of the Ding, there are more than a dozen tall humanoid stone statues, nine in a row, standing left and right, arching and guarding a treasure platform.
On the throne, where the Monarch Dragon Collapse should have been placed, there is a huge stone coffin on display!
"Portrait of the head of the dog!"
Professor Chen also saw the scene in the hall and shouted in surprise.
"Professor, isn't that a dog's head?"
Sha Lipeng was a little heartless, and sprayed the statue as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Xiaosha, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Hao Jianguo glared at him, and talked to himself excitedly as he walked into the main hall.
"Legend has it that in the ancient era of mountains and seas, there was an evil beast called the fox, which lived underground, had no eyes and tails, fed on snakes, insects, rats and ants, and was highly venomous, and was the ancestor of all dogs."
"Zhongshan is a country established by the Gudi people, who worship the receptacle, revere it as a dog god, and use its head as a totem."
"In this country, almost every family breeds hunting dogs, and the status of dogs is above that of slaves and commoners, and if the bloodline is pure, or there is a different appearance, it will even be considered a messenger sent by the dog god, and accept the worship and worship of the whole country."
Hearing what he said so evilly, Zhao Senjun couldn't help but ask, "How to worship?" Do you kneel down for a dog? ”
"Of course!"
Hao Jianguo once again emphasized: "Not only do they kneel, but sometimes they will sacrifice animals and living people, so that they can give birth to supernatural powers to achieve certain goals of the ruling class." ”
Speaking of which, everyone had already entered the main hall and scattered to survey all corners.
Zhao joined the army and commanded his soldiers, and hung a mining lamp on all four walls, and there was no dead end in the hall.
Yan Jun held the gun and kicked the charred beast corpse at the entrance, and when he saw that it was already dead, he glanced around, feeling that there was no danger, so he relaxed his vigilance a little and observed the scene in the main hall.
In addition to the big ding, incense case, statue, treasure platform, there are two other giant dog stone statues in the south, facing away from the main hall, there is a large space in front, presumably the main gate representing the underground palace.
There are also many stone doors in the hall, and on the stone walls on both sides of each door, there are two bronze ancient lamps embedded in each one, and there are black gatekeeper stone dogs squatting under the lamps.
Yan Jun counted carefully, and there were a total of 5 stone gates.
There are two behind the treasure platform where the coffin is placed, one on the left and right tomb walls, and one next to the gatekeeper stone dog on the right side of the main entrance.
This should lead to 5 different burial chambers.
He told Professor Chen about this speculation, and the professor looked away from the big ding, and muttered: "According to the general Warring States Tomb, there should be a main hall, a front hall, a side hall on the left and right, and a back hall or two apsees, all of which can be taken one by one, but there is an extra one in the corner..."
As he spoke, Professor Chen looked at the stone door suspiciously.
He is old, and his farsightedness is clearer than that of close proximity, and with just one glance, he found an abnormality, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yan, go and take a look, is that stone door also cracked?" ”
Yan Jun looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was also a crack in the stone door!
"Professor, your eyesight is really good, the students admire it."
Yan Jun said a joke and ran over, only to see an arm-wide gap open in the lower left side of the door.
As soon as I got closer, I felt the cold was pressing, and there was a faint whining and wailing sound from inside, and there was a rather familiar and eerie smell.
Yan Jun was shocked, and somehow, he remembered the tomb full of coffins in the Devil's Fortress!
"He's it, this is the Warring States Tomb, but if there is a zongzi, it is a collector's edition of more than 2,000 years, even if Lao Tzu has five or six styles, most of them can't do it."
He subconsciously took a few steps back, turned around and told Professor Chen that it was just a small crack and there was nothing abnormal, so he led the topic elsewhere.
He even took the initiative to apply and take everyone to explore the burial chamber behind several other stone doors.
He is going to open the crowd first, and then come back to open the coffin for an autopsy, and when his strength is improved, the others are safe, and then open the ominous door.
In addition to the previous Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, Ye Yixin entered the ancient tomb for the first time, and when he saw that everyone was looking for a mechanism to open the door, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Teacher, do the ancient tombs of the Warring States Period like to use doors to separate the tombs?" ”
"It's not like this, during the Warring States Period, the tombs of the powerful princes were much larger than this, and there was no stone gate to close it, in my opinion, most of it was just an anti-theft measure."
In addition to the fact that the culture of the Western Regions is not as thorough as Professor Chen's research, Hao Jianguo's understanding of the history of other dynasties is not bad, and the explanation is straightforward.
The first mechanism to be found was the side hall facing the entrance, and the black dog squatting on the left side of the doorway had an eye that could be turned.
"Crunch, crunch..."
I don't know what kind of immortal mechanism it is, it hasn't broken for two thousand years.
The stone gate rose, and Zhao Senjun was about to go in to explore the way, but Yan Jun grabbed him and reminded: "This door is not cracked, and the air inside is not circulating, so let's go in later." ”
Zhao Senjun nodded, and the two went to find the other stone gate mechanisms, opened them one by one, and then explored them after ventilation.
It's just that Yan Jun didn't notice that Hao Jianguo and Sha Lipeng ran to the stone gate near the right corner of the main gate at some point, and after a while, they actually triggered the mechanism and opened the door!
A creaking sound sounded, and Yan Jun was shocked to realize that when he looked back, the stone gate had risen more than half a person high!
As soon as the stone door opened, a burst of fishy smell came to my nose!
Yan Jun Liujue was different from ordinary people, and he instantly felt a dangerous aura!
He raised the muzzle of his gun and shouted at the two of them, "Professor Hao, Xiaosha!" Come back! ”
"Oh, it's so cold in here."
Hao Jianguo was rushed by the cold, shivered, and hurriedly retreated.
Sha Lipeng was half-squatting in front of the door, sweeping in with a flashlight, and suddenly saw something, his eyes widened, he was frightened, and sat on the ground with a broken bone!
In the next second, two thigh-high black shadows suddenly appeared in the passage, one pounced on Sha Lipeng who fell to the ground, and the other pounced on Hao Jianguo!
"Bang Bang!"
"Smack!"
Almost at the same moment, Yan Jun and Zhao Shenjun pulled the trigger fiercely!
A barrage of bullets shot out, making a "poof" sound of skin and flesh opening.
The two black shadows were each shot several times, but they still went castrate, knocking Hao Jianguo and Sha Lipeng to the ground!
Surprisingly, they had been shattered to skulls and throats, and were crooked on top of the two of them, bleeding and whimpering and twitching.
"Also... And also! There's still one in there! ”
Sha Lipeng was younger after all, he kicked away the corpse on his body, and hurriedly got up to help Hao Jianguo, but when his eyes swept over the doorway, he suddenly screamed in fright!
"You protect the professor, Xiao Sun come with me!"
Zhao Senjun gave an order to the soldiers, and surrounded the gate with Yan Jun.
Xiao Sun, who was equipped with a propane injector, followed closely behind, blocking the doorway with a spray gun in both hands, snorting, and the blazing high-temperature flames rushed into the passage like a fire dragon!
"Huh?"
Yan Jun took the opportunity to pull Hao Jianguo and Sha Lipeng behind him, helping the bright lights, and saw two lean canine corpses lying on the ground.
Earthy black fur, white pupils, no tail behind the buttocks, two rows of jagged fangs inside and one outside, the appearance is extremely hideous!
"Teacher, is this the kind of ancient evil beast you said?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Yan Jun's question, Hao Jianguo woke up like a dream, and said in a trembling voice: "It seems... It seems that yes, this is exactly the same as the ancient beast in the historical records! ”
Yan Jun's heart suddenly sank: According to what he had just observed, this underground palace had been in a closed state, so where did these fierce beasts come from? It can't live for more than 2,000 years, right?
He was feeling unbelievable, when he suddenly realized that the light around him was dim, but the propane injector had run out of fuel!
As soon as the flames were extinguished, the passage suddenly sounded the sound of a beast crying "whining"!
Yan Jun squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp!
I saw that there was a black pressure in the passage, and in addition to the dozen or so corpses that were burned to death, there were no less than a hundred and ten beasts, staring at the white flowers one by one, opening their bloody mouths and rushing out of the door!
"! Poked a hornet's nest! ”
This time, without anyone to greet them, Yan Jun and Zhao Senjun opened fire in unison, and Hao Jianguo and Sha Lipeng fled backwards in a hurry.
The soldier Xiao Sun was about to unload the propane bottle on his back, but when he saw so many fierce beasts pounce out, he couldn't take care of the propane bottle at the moment, so he hurriedly picked up 56 punches, and "pop" was a slash!
