Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mansion of the Underworld
The scene in front of me was really disgusting, but I had unconsciously gotten used to this level of nausea, and I didn't feel it when it got on my pants in the first place, but now I'm more curious, that is, why can a spider be buried in a coffin?
Lao Bai said before that this tomb is the pattern of the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin, the purpose is to punish the enemy of the tomb owner before his death, so, the enemy of the tomb owner is a big spider?
"That's right."
Lao Bai smiled, looking quite happy.
Xiaoqu also nodded, then looked at me and said, "Master, it's already dead." ”
"Dead?"
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately said:
"It was still holding me when my foot sank in."
Yes, I distinctly remember that my feet suddenly sank into the bronze coffin as I pulled the shadow to open the bronze door, and felt as if a hand was holding my leg underneath.
"Its corpse is not rotten, it may be that its tentacles naturally retracted after you stepped on its corpse, if it was still alive at the time, master, you can't get out." Xiaoqu explained.
I thought about it, and then looked at the spider's huge body,
truly
If this was alive, I wouldn't have been able to get out at that time.
But this spider is also quite unlucky, and after dying for so long, I trampled on it and blew it up.
According to legend, Chen Daoren had a son, known as the most potential successor of the mountain-moving faction, and later died at the hands of the Kunlun poisonous spider in an ancient tomb that entered Kunlun Mountain.
Chen Daoren deliberately went to catch this spider and buried it in his tomb, in fact, to avenge his son. ”
"Then he still wants to sleep with Yang Guifei?" I asked, a little puzzled.
"The social and cultural atmosphere in ancient times was different from ours, and the Tang Dynasty was originally relatively open, so Chen Daoren's revenge for his son was not in conflict with his desire to be buried with Yang Guifei." Lao Bai explained.
"But I still haven't found anything." Xiaoqu said with some regret.
yes
Lao Bai and Xiaoqu came down to find the thing that could provide clues to the legendary tomb of Yang Guifei, and it was obvious that this spider had nothing else to offer except pus.
"Let's wait and see, when this place is completely emptied, we should be able to get some information." Lao Bai was also a little helpless, but in fact, this may not be big, because they had been here in person before, and they had also paid attention to what was worth noting, except for this embroidered shoe, they did not find any other clues that might be about Yang Guifei.
I can see the disappointment of these two people, perhaps, the attraction of Yang Guifei's tomb to them is really too great, this is a professional pursuit, and it can even rise to a professional dream.
"Master, let's go up, and leave it to the people below to sort it out."
Lao Bai took off his gloves and said to me.
"Okay." I nodded.
"You go up first, and I'll go around." Xiaoqu didn't plan to go up first, most of the dangers in this cemetery had actually been removed, but it was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net, and he could prevent any accidents if he continued to stay here and watch.
Lao Bai and I returned along the same road.
"What will be in Yang Guifei's tomb?" I asked.
Bai Wenliu shook his head, "I don't know, but what is certain is that every thing, even a comb, will be worth a fortune." ”
I nodded.
When we were about to go up the slope, I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, those human-faced spiders, I told Lao Bai about these things, Lao Bai was silent for a while, and then said to himself "shouldn't" and "can't be".
Then he immediately turned around and walked back to the tomb where we had gone to see the great spider, and I went with him.
Xiaoqu is still there to extract the pus of the big spider, presumably with the intention of bringing it back for research.
"Why did you come back again?" Xiaoqu asked.
"Master just said that he met Kunlun spiders here." Bai Wenliu said.
"I know." Xiaoqu smiled, "Didn't the master say it above?" ”
"He's in this burial chamber." Lao Bai emphasized again.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoqu was still a little incomprehensible, "I have found traces of Kunlun spider activity here before, but they are smarter than mice, when our machine was digging, the rats did not go far and turned back, those Kunlun spiders should have run away." ”
"It's not." Bai Wenliu turned to look at the Zhumen and the noose behind him, and said, "In the master's narrative, he said that when he entered here, this door was closed.
Let's take a look at the structure of this door. ”
Xiaoqu immediately walked over, and at this time, his face showed a sudden look.
"It should be some actions or influences when we came in that caused the mechanism in this tomb to be pulled, and when the master and the armed police came here, the mechanism inside was finally triggered, like the principle of clockwork." Xiaoqu took a deep breath, and then his fingers began to wave, and he was quickly organizing his thoughts.
"Yes." Bai Wenliu also looked a little excited, "Even the most sophisticated and high-quality machinery in modern times does not dare to guarantee the perfect operation of more than a thousand years, and this tomb cannot exist in this way of operation."
In addition, the master said that the first time the door was opened by himself, and then it was his and the armed policeman's behavior that caused the door to change and open, so the first time the door was opened, it should be the first primitive action. ”
I could hear it in a fog, but I finally heard an eyebrow, which meant that the door was similar to a clockwork device, and that after we entered the tomb and that Xiao Wang and I might have inadvertently triggered something, causing the clockwork to start working, and the door was opened right in front of us, but the door could only be opened once in this way.
The reason is simple,
Because if the door had been opened before, no one would have wound it again, so it could only have been opened before I came.
"The door never opened, how did that spider get in?" Bai Wenliu's gaze began to wander around, "Here, there are other places!" ”
I still haven't been able to keep up with Lao Bai's brain circuits, I just know that he is very excited now, so excited that it makes me feel a little strange.
In the end,
Bai Wenliu walked directly to the edge of the pool, pointed to the pool and asked the construction staff next to him: "Have you surveyed and mapped down here?" ”
The water in the pool has long since been pumped out, and there is actually silt underneath.
"No, because that's what I expected to estimate the depth of the burial chamber." A construction worker next to him replied.
"Dig for me, keep digging down!" Bai Wenliu took a deep breath, "Below this, it must be under this, I finally understand now;
Nine Dragons pulled the coffin, not to give it a separate punishment, Chen Daoren used it as the guardian beast of the core area of his real tomb, it killed his son, he let it show himself here to the Yin Mansion for his son to do his filial piety! ”
