Chapter 12: Terracotta Giants

The lighter was a windproof lighter, and it did not go out when it fell to the ground, and the glowing light barely illuminated a small circle.

By that little light, I saw a stone figurine standing with its head held high in the hand of a stone spear not far ahead.

The miserable white face I saw just now was the face of this stone figurine, which was exceptionally white by the firelight.

I wondered what the hell was this place, and how could there be stone figurines? Could it be that this is really an underground imperial mausoleum?

I have only entered the Imperial Tomb once, and that experience has greatly improved my low position in the circle.

In our line of fighting, experience and qualifications are far more important than how many treasures are stolen.

For tomb robbers, the imperial tomb is definitely a life-threatening place with no entry or exit, and it is difficult for ordinary people to walk back and forth alive from it.

If I had done it before, I would have been so excited that I would have died.

But now, I just feel cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

If this is really an imperial mausoleum, I'm afraid that the five of us will be more than lucky, and there will definitely be no fewer traps and traps to face, and maybe we will encounter a thousand-year-old zombie or something.

"Yang Qing!"

"Old Zhao!"

"Shen Dali!"

I called out their names, and all I could do was echo myself.

The uneasiness constantly invaded me, making me feel extremely flustered.

They all came in through that door, so how could I suddenly be left alone? Are they dead or alive?

I stepped forward to pick up the lighter from the ground, and the metal shell burned a little hot.

I walked around the stone figurine in front of me and walked forward, only to be shocked again by what I saw.

Directly in front of me, there were a lot of stone figurines neatly arranged, and their faces were lifelike, as if they were petrified by a living person.

After the numerous stone figurines, there are stone horses, stone carts......

I shuttled between these delicate stone carvings, my heart was extremely panicked, and I called Yang Qing and their names countless times, but in vain.

I don't know how long I walked, I didn't know how far I walked, but I came to a white marble staircase.

At the top of the staircase is a huge stone platform with a huge bronze seat on which a stone giant sits as if looking down on all beings.

I was fascinated by this huge stone statue, and carefully stepped on the white marble stairs to go up, and suddenly I felt as if I had stepped on a loose position under my feet, and I heard a slight "click" crisp sound in my ears.

I realized I had stepped on the trap and quickly stepped down, three or two steps back down the stairs.

After about two or three seconds, there was a sharp sound of breaking the sky.

By the faint light of the lighter, I saw a series of crossbow arrows shot out at the railings on both sides of the white marble staircase, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

I was scared for a while, in a cold sweat, knowing that if I had moved a little slower just now, I would probably explain it here.

However, before I could rejoice, I suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound behind me, as if a huge stone had run under the ground, and the ground trembled slightly with the sound.

I quickly turned my head to look, but I was surprised to find that the stone figurines had all turned around at some point, facing me, and raised their weapons in their hands, as if they were about to disassemble me at the first order of the general.

The stone figurines don't turn for no reason, and considering the sound and vibration just now, I speculate that I just accidentally stepped on the mechanism.

However, I still didn't dare to move, for fear of stepping on some mechanism and provoking more attacks.

The lighter was already very hot at this time, so I temporarily blew out the fire and stood in the dark restlessly, quietly paying attention to the movements around me.

It was so quiet, eerily quiet, so quiet that I could only hear my own breathing and heartbeat.

What does it mean that there are so many stone figurines in this place?

Judging by traditional experience, these stone figurines should belong to the funerary goods, and this location should be similar to the burial pit.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, chariot and horse pits or burial pits were designed around the king's tomb, in which people with status or the best chariots and horses in the world were buried, in order to ensure that the dead king could enjoy the best protection and the most luxurious pomp when he arrived in the underworld.

With the development of civilization and the change of dynasties, there have been kings who have used stone figurines instead of living people for burial.

If this is indeed a burial pit, then I should be very close to the main burial chamber by this time.

The temperature of the lighter's casing had dropped quite a bit, so I turned on the lighter again, then lowered myself and carefully moved my steps to the side.

I didn't dare to go up to that stone platform, although I was a little interested in the giant statue, but I wouldn't put my life on the line just to see it.

Covered in sweat, I struggled to get to the side wall, but luckily I didn't touch the mechanism again.

After a long sigh of relief, I moved against the wall, trying to find a way out.

I hadn't walked for a while when I suddenly heard a faint voice, as if someone was calling for something.

The call was small, far away, and muffled, and the person shouting should not be in the place.

"I'm Wu Yishu, who are you and where are you?"

I shouted loudly, hoping to connect with that person.

However, I could barely hear the voice, but I couldn't hear the shouting.

I continued to walk against the wall, and the voice grew clearer and clearer, as if ...... It was like calling my name.

I was so excited that I continued to grope my way forward, and finally found a stone door.

The stone gate is not large, but it is very tightly closed.

I pushed hard, but the stone door didn't move.

At this time, I heard the call again, coming from the other side of the door, listening to the voice, I preliminarily judged that it was Shen Dali on the other side of the door.

"Shen Dali? I'm Wu Yishu. Are you over there? Let's work together to open this door. ”

After shouting, I rolled up my sleeves and began to push the door with my shoulder, almost using my strength to feed.

Shen Dali on the other side of the door seemed to have heard my voice, and he also worked hard over there, making the stone door make a "click" sound.

After a while, I heard a loud "pop" sound from the other side of the door, as if a boulder had landed.

Immediately after, the stone door slowly opened a gap, barely allowing a person to pass through.

I was about to enter through the crack in the door, but I didn't expect a beam of light to suddenly shine through, and then Shen Dali had already rushed over there with a flashlight.

"What's going on? How could they fall to a different place when they fell together? What about Fat Liu? What about Yang Qing and Zhao Lao? Do you see that they don't? ”

Shen Dali panted and shook his head and waved his hand, "Fifth brother, you ...... Don't ask me, I don't ...... I don't know what's going on. ”

I didn't want to stay in this place anymore, I was worried that I would run into any more organs, so I hurriedly said to Shen Dali: "There are organs here, let's go to your side." ”

Shen Dali's face immediately became very ugly, and he didn't speak or move.

I saw him like this, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Shen Dali lowered his voice and said, "Fifth brother, over there...... The ground was littered with skeletons. ”
