Shonan Ghost Cub Shonan Ghost Cub Chapter 32: Gu Worm Tomb
The hands of the watch pointed at 3:05, and it was already early in the morning. It took nearly two hours from the time we discovered the first transept to the location of the main burial chamber.
The coffin of Zhao Tuo, which the fat man and I were thinking about, stopped in a circular arch about twenty meters in front of us. Perhaps, the "Yang Suizhu" that the fat man has been thinking about in his heart is in the tomb in front of us that has not yet been entered.
As I expected, as the founding emperor of Nanyue, whether he was a self-respecting soldier or an old general of the Qin Dynasty. Since a country has been established and the emperor is proclaimed, then after death, he must also advertise himself as the emperor and be buried according to the specifications of the emperor's tomb.
Therefore, the model of the nine tombs and eight tombs is a more reasonable conjecture.
Except outside the main burial chamber not far from us, among the other seven ear chambers that we have explored, only the number of "wine jars" inside is different, and the other structures are exactly the same.
In the meantime, the fat man and I also discussed the moral of this structure, and the one that we agreed with was the sacrificial curse theory. The conclusion is based on the appearance of the ghost cubs, as well as the charms wrapped around the skulls of the corpses. At present, the only thing that can confirm our conjecture is Aunt Ming and Second Uncle who let us come here.
"Xiao Su, that's it!"
Outside the main cemetery, the fat man said.
Because the fat man was too fat, he couldn't stand side by side with me in this long and narrow tunnel. We can only stand sideways and talk one after the other, vertically and sideways.
"After entering the tomb for a while, we must be careful, many things here are connected to silk threads, and we don't know what mechanism is connected to us that we don't know."
I say.
"yes, you can't move the stuff inside for a while!"
The fat man said as he made a gesture of cutting off his own arm. That means he can keep things from touching things.
Twenty meters away from me and the fat man walked out of a hundred meters, and he was now only one step away from the arch of the main tomb, and if he stepped out, there might be a different "world".
"What's wrong?"
The fat man asked.
"Come in!"
I say.
This was the first time I had entered a main burial chamber that housed an emperor-level coffin.
I don't know how far this burial chamber is from the crack I first discovered, but perhaps we have already left the boundaries of Yongzhou and come to Guilin.
As soon as we enter the burial chamber, there is a light shining overhead, and this light is completely different from the light of the "ever-bright lantern" in the main hall space, because what falls in front of us is the light in the night sky. This is also the second time that there is a gap at the top of the seat in addition to the chain bridge space.
Standing at the door of the vaulted tomb and looking up, you can vaguely see the bright moonlight hanging through the cracks in the night. As we approached the wee hours of the morning, the moon was a little faint overall.
Through the light from the top of the tomb, and the dim artificial light of the two flashlights in our hands, which have been dimmed due to lack of power, the outline of the entire tomb is presented to us.
The size of the burial chamber is far greater than we imagined, covering an area of thousands of square meters.
But the size of the space was not the most surprising to us, and as soon as I followed the fat man into the tomb, my eyes were drawn to the furnishings in the middle of the tomb.
The word "gossip shape", the only image in my mind is the shape in the TV series. And when I saw the structure in front of me, the impression in my mind became more intuitive.
In the center of the burial chamber, there was a circular pool, and in the center of the pool there was a cylindrical protrusion, on which was placed a bead the size of a football, crystal clear.
In the eight directions around the waterhole, there are eight stone dragons, and the height of the dragon's head is slightly higher than the cylindrical protrusion.
The eight stone dragons all had their mouths open, facing the beads above the cylindrical protrusions. The position of the eight dragons in eight directions, with the circular waterhole in the center, is exactly the shape of the Bagua in my impression!
And directly above the raised beads of the waterhole, there was a coffin that was completely black, tied by several huge iron chains, and suspended in the air.
"Xiao Su, "Yang Suizhu"! This is the fucking "Yang Sui Zhu"! ”
As I was about to look at the structure of the other parts of the tomb, I heard the fat man's voice struggling to contain his excitement.
But he was excited, and the rules still couldn't be broken. The coffin in this tomb is the first coffin we found after entering the stone gate.
The fat man walked straight to the northeast corner, took out a candle from his pocket and lit it there, and said with words in his mouth:
"The queen of heaven is on the earth,
Jade Emperor Hades' Talisman,
The first time to borrow the way,
Don't be stingy with it! ”
This kind of phrase, I think he will have a new set every time he lights a candle.
After setting up the candles, the fat man did not hesitate at all, and walked directly to the position with the "Yang Sui Bead" in the middle of the tomb.
I believe that the fat man will not act rashly, even if it is the "Yang Suizhu" that excites him, he will not rashly reach for it without making sure that it is safe. If he can't do this, then he won't be the famous "Captain Touching Gold"!
And my interest in "Yang Suizhu" was not as full as his, but I started from the entrance with a flashlight and looked around.
What surprised me was that the huge burial chamber was almost empty except for the waterhole in the middle where the eight dragons held pearls. I've walked through most of the space, and I only see a few "wine jars" like the ones I see elsewhere, and nothing else.
It's just that there are many holes in the walls of the tomb, and I can't see where the inside leads at all.
In the meantime, I didn't have much communication with the fat man, but we weren't far away. As I shone my flashlight at the hole, I felt the fat man standing behind me, probably looking at the hole in front of me.
"Fatty, you go to the grave a lot, what should these holes be?"
I asked the fat man behind me.
"What do you say?"
When I heard the fat man's voice, I immediately covered my whole body with cold sweat.
The location where he responded to my voice was in the direction of the stone dragon and the waterhole in the middle of the burial chamber.
And at this moment, I really feel that there is a person standing behind me! I was in a half-crouching position, with my waist bent, my eyes leaning over the hole. The man standing behind me, right above my head, was also bent over the waist, looking at the same position as me.
The fat man is still at the waterhole, so who is the person behind me who does the same action as me!
"Xiao Su! Don't move! ”
Just as I was about to turn around to look at the person behind me, the fat man's somewhat anxious voice sounded again!
Immediately after, I heard the sound of breaking wind not far behind me! The sound is like the "big pendulum" in an amusement park, the sound of rubbing against the air when it falls from the sky!
"Run!"
Almost simultaneously with the sound of the breaking wind sounded the cries of the fat man.
After hearing his command, I did not hesitate to do the following, bowed my head, moved sideways to the right, and then quickly got out of my original position. Then he held the dagger in front of him at the same speed.
In the meantime, I heard a crash from where I was. It seems to be a collision of iron and dough.
Before I could get up, I felt that my belt was being lifted, and no matter how hard I resisted, I could not turn over, and I was carried to the entrance of the tomb!
I was just about to slash upwards with my dagger when a familiar voice sounded in my ears: "I'm sorry brother!" The situation is urgent, so I'll pull it out for you first! ”
It was the voice of the fat man.
At this moment, I knew that when I encountered the "ghost corpse" in the main hall, I was able to get out of the drag of the fat man, all because we were outside the door of the main hall in front of us, and my jump would not put me in danger. And at the moment, my reaction can no longer keep up with his speed. This didn't let me break free from his "clutches"!
It wasn't until I was carried out of the tomb in a suspended position that I was put down, and the fat man's quiet voice was still in my ears: "Don't look back, follow me!" ”
I obediently followed him, but it was very difficult to catch up with his speed, and I didn't expect that with his weight, I could run at such speed.
At the same time, the sound of bells came from behind me! The sound of the bell colliding with the bell is very crisp!
I curiously glanced back at the source of the bell behind me, and this was it! I will never forget it!
A "man" covered in bells followed us unhurriedly. I've never seen wrinkles on a human face so dense, so dense that they seem to be made up of wrinkles on the eyes, nose, and mouth!
When I looked back, tentacles were sticking out of its nostrils! Seeing that I turned around, my mouth was also grinning, and I was "laughing"! But when I could see what was crawling out of his mouth when he opened it, I almost threw it up! It turned out to be a maggot, and it was the size of an adult's finger!
Behind him, it seemed like something was still following. Since I was running and watching, I couldn't see it clearly!
"Ancestor, don't look back! When you look back and let out a sigh, it's all about you! ”
The fat man, who was running at top speed, felt my speed slow down. He stepped back and grabbed me by the arm and ran the way I had come! At the same time, I saw him holding a bead around his waist in his left hand and a bow on his forearm. The bead is the "Yang Sui Bead" above the raised pillar in the waterhole in the middle of the burial chamber.
I was about to ask him what was going on, but he said, "Run, it's too late to explain!" This is a fucking Gu worm tomb! ”
The sound of the bell behind me still followed unhurriedly, as if it could always be controlled within the same distance as me and the fat man!
After the fat man said this, I didn't continue to ask, but ran in the direction of the main hall as fast as he could!
But just as we passed the first chamber near the main chamber, a rustling sound came from the chamber!
