Chapter 17: An Unexpected Discovery
"Shiying, is there a lot of gold and silver treasures in such a magnificent tomb gate? It's all like this on TV, isn't there a lot of funeral goods? ”
"You, watch less TV series and movies in the future, and you will become a character living in TV series and movies in the future. Besides, even if there are really a lot of funeral goods in it, so many dried corpses, maybe zombies, do you dare to pick them up? Taking a step back, there are no dried corpses or zombies in it, but these funeral goods are also cultural relics protected by the state, which can be used as a basis for historical investigation and must be handed over to the state. If you have any ideas, I may be going to kill my relatives in righteousness. ”
Whether he has an idea or not, remind him, lest it will be too late if he really does something in the future.
"Hehe, don't I mean that? Don't you look at me? I'm just curious, don't forget, I've never seen a real tomb since I was a child. ”
"Curiosity kills people, less curiosity is better than anything else"
"I pay attention, I pay attention"
"Alas, forget it, anyway, this kind of thing has to be controlled by yourself, and it's useless for others to talk about it."
He said that, but I could see that his curiosity had not subsided at all.
"Alright, fat man, you just wait for me outside here, and remember, you are not allowed to go in. Just wait for me to come out. ”
"Don't worry, I know."
When I said I was going in, he became serious.
"Also, old rule, if I don't come out before sunset tonight, then you should go back quickly and don't stay here any longer."
"Seyoung, what do you mean by that? You will come out safely, I am waiting for you. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are also waiting for you. ”
Hearing me say this, Wu Xin said with a look on his face
"Haha, don't worry, didn't I also say last time that you should go first? Look, I'm not standing here safe and sound? Rest assured. Isn't it just in case? ”
"No case, you have to give me a safe return, and when the time comes, I will invite you to drink, and you can eat whatever you want."
After listening to him say this, I felt warm in my heart, Wu Xin has no hobbies, the only big hobby is eating, and the only drawback is that he is a little stingy, I remember one time before, because I ate a little snack from him, I was noisy to cut my robe and break off my clothes. Now you're going to invite me to drink.
"Okay, when the time comes, don't feel distressed."
"No problem, absolutely not distressed, you can drink as much as you want. Eat as you please, drink as please. ”
"Okay, it's a deal"
"A word is a certainty"
The two hands were tightly clasped together, and this grip increased our brotherhood even more, and it also made us believe in each other more firmly. This also made me save me in danger many times later, of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Letting go of my hand, I turned and walked towards the tomb.
"Seyoung, be careful"
I didn't look back, I didn't answer, I just waved my hand back. Because I don't know what has become of the ancient tomb now, I don't know if I will come back safe and sound this time, and I don't know if the people who control this place have rearranged it because we escaped last time. I don't know any of this, I know that only I have to do my duty, worthy of my conscience, worthy of the old man's lost arm.
When I walked to the tomb gate, I was not in the mood for the first time to appreciate how magnificent and majestic it was. Walking into the corridor, there is no longer the leisure and elegance of admiring the murals when I first came. Now I am thinking about how to eliminate those dried corpses as soon as possible and find out who is behind them.
Thinking about it, when I came to the stone door of the tomb again, I saw the blood on the ground, I saw the sword still there in front of the stone door, and I saw the old man swinging his sword and breaking his arm again. Tears unconsciously crept up his face.
"Whew"
He took a deep breath, reached out and wiped the tears from his face, picked up the sword on the ground, and raised his hand to push open the stone door of the tomb again. I will use this sword stained with the blood of the old man to avenge his broken arm.
"Crunch"
The crisp sound of the stone door also touched my heart. But no matter what, what should come will still come. When the stone door was fully opened, I saw the burial chamber again.
But the tomb is not what I imagined, with countless corpses and zombies. Instead, it was the same as when we first came in, quiet, and the only difference was that the hanging dried corpses and the four tigers who had turned into zombies were all gone, as if they had never appeared.
But I know that the dried corpses and zombies of that time are real, and the old man is still lying in the hospital. So that is, after we left, someone came here and hid those dried corpses? Or what is the reason?
"No, such an eerie silence is the biggest anomaly, look at the mechanism last time."
Thinking about it, I walked to the place where the old man had found the thunder and lightning sign last time, and found that the sign was still there, and then walked to the place where the grooves converged, and raised the stone slab with the tip of my sword, and sure enough, the sound of the mechanism came from the ear chamber on the right.
"Click"
"Click"
"Click"
After observing that there was no change in the burial chamber, I hurried to the right side of the chamber, and found that the bookshelves that had been scattered and the books that had been scattered on the side were now well placed there, and now, when the bookshelves were moved to the side, a secret door appeared on the wall behind the original location of the bookshelves.
"How can there be a secret door here? Could it be that this is the secret door to the dungeon that I didn't find last time? But why didn't it turn on last time? This time, I touched the same place I found last time. Could it be that this was originally a secret door to the dungeon, but it was deliberately modified last time, so that those things happened. It seems that the tiger was placed here, and the bookshelves and books here were messed up in order to cover up this secret door to the dungeon. But why hide the dungeon? What are we afraid of? Or do you know in advance? ”
At this time, I suddenly remembered that day when I heard a sound similar to drinking water from below, and I thought of the grooves in the ground and the blood of those dried corpses. I suddenly understood that the person behind the scenes was hiding something in the dungeon, what it was, and I had to look to find out, but there was a high probability that it was the owner of the tomb, the general.
"I hope I don't find out too late in all this, although there is little hope, but there is still hope."
Thinking about it, he took out the flashlight he had with him and walked into the secret door.
After entering the secret door, I found that I was holding a flashlight that was superfluous, and behind the secret door was an unknown length of the corridor, and there were two lights on the walls on both sides of the corridor. I think that since there is a light at the entrance of the Yongdao, then the entire corridor should be there.
I put away my flashlight and continued to walk cautiously forward.
Sure enough, there are lights every 100 meters on this corridor. But soon I noticed a problem, because I smelled the smell of corpse oil, and soon I found the source of the smell of corpse oil, which was the oil lamps on the walls on both sides. When I came in, I didn't pay attention, but now I smell the corpse oil and I can take a closer look at the oil lamps. I was a little horrified to find that this was actually the gossip seven-star lamp. And the oil used for burning in it is the corpse oil.
Corpse oil: After a person dies, under normal circumstances, it will decay after a period of time, and then a layer of grease will appear on the surface of the corpse, which is corpse oil.
The phrase 'Bagua is on the left to seal the soul, and the seven-star life-sustaining is also Zhuge 'This sentence refers to the gossip soul sealing array and the seven-star life-sustaining lamp. The Bagua Soul Sealing Array is used in good faith to seal the soul and prevent it from dissipating; When used for malice, it can prevent the soul from being reborn and not entering reincarnation. The seven-star life-sustaining lamp, according to legend, was created by Zhuge Kongming and was used only for his own life, but it was destroyed by Xiahoudun, which can be regarded as the will of heaven.
Originally, the gossip seven-star lamp was used to continue life, and with kindness, it could be used to continue people's lives. But now there is corpse oil in the seven-star lamp, and gossip is pressed under the seven-star lamp. This is to seal the soul to nourish the soul, use the body, and nourish the corpse.
"It looks like someone is really raising corpses here. No, you have to stop him quickly, otherwise once the corpse is cultivated, it will be a big trouble. ”
With that, I hurriedly walked along the corridor towards the dungeon. Although I have quickened my pace, I am also paying attention to my surroundings, after all, in this ancient tomb, the original news of the mechanism may exist, not to mention that there are still people raising corpses, so it is more likely that there will be a mechanism.
But I don't know if that person is too confident or too lazy, and he walks all the way, but there is no mechanism.
After about a quarter of an hour, I noticed another stone gate in front of me. I know that behind this stone gate should be the underground palace.
I cautiously walked over to the stone door and pushed it open.
"Squeak"
There was a soft sound, which was said to be a light sound, but it was extremely loud in this not too wide corridor, and the echo was bursting.
