Chapter 68: The Lost Passage

If there is really a fire hole, it means that the grave pit in front of it cannot be reached, and whoever goes there will suffer! The person who is most afraid of the inverted bucket is the fire hole, and the wooden coffin has the distinction between water and fire, which is very vicious.

The so-called water cave is because the quality of the tomb is not very good, and the pit filled with water can drown people alive if they fall, just like the big tomb we encountered in Niuzigou when we first went to the tomb, which belongs to one of the water caves.

But that's okay, at least if it's well-equipped, it's something to try, but fire holes are different, the better the quality of the pit, the tighter the seal, and after the pit is opened, flames will erupt from inside, enough to burn people.

The fire spewed out of the pit is divided into two kinds, one is naturally formed, that is, the white phosphorus emitted from the bones, if you only encounter this, you can also take the risk to try it, after all, the amount of white phosphorus that can be volatilized on the corpse is limited, as long as the coffin is placed in the open ground, let the white phosphorus volatilize naturally, and it will be fine.

But at present, this situation can only be the second type, and that kind of fire is not naturally formed, but one of the anti-theft measures arranged by the princes and nobles in ancient times, also known as "Fu Huo" (in fact, it belongs to the same routine as the Tianbao glass roof, but there is almost no way to crack it).

The reason for the formation of this kind of fire, most of them are combustible gases, as for how these gases are formed, then there are different opinions, I don't know, the second master has introduced it in the feng shui notebook, saying that this fire is actually "Danhuo", Taishang Laojun burns the ashes of the stove, of course, this is superstition.

However, our Chinese ancestors were superstitious about becoming immortals and immortality, and they had done a lot of ridiculous things in order to "become immortals", and since ancient times, it was not only Taishang Laojun who could do alchemy, but also those monks and warlocks in the harem of the ancient royal court, who knew how to grasp a lot of alchemy, and there were many people with real skills.

Although there are almost no people who can live forever when they really practice salted eggs, there are many people who have made good things in the process of alchemy, such as the so-called "Four Great Inventions"*, which was made up in this way.

In addition, of course, there are other things, such as these combustible gases filled in the pits, which were originally only refined into "crystalline particles", so solid objects that can be burned, when the tomb is dug and put into the coffin, these people will place the solid "ambush fire" in the tomb.

And after years of changes, those solid "fires" will slowly evaporate, into gas, mixed in the air, the power is much more terrible than white phosphorus, once the tomb is opened, through the air, almost instantaneously will burn, the power of this thing is also the same as the "Tianbao glazed roof", enough to burn the entire tomb.

The difference is that I have a way to crack the Tianbao glazed top, but there is no way to solve the "ambush fire", which is a means of preventing tomb robbery invented after the Sui and Tang dynasties, which is very advanced and has high technical content.

To tell the truth, I'm a little scared, these things are beyond my cognition, whether it's a fire or not, I can't tell, just look at the guy who was burned to the point that there are no ashes left, and I feel a chill.

If you walk for a long time at night, you will hit a ghost, will Ge Zhuang and I have such a day?

"You see, there is something wrong with this man's body, and the cause of his death was not burned!" Old Zhong crouched on the edge of the pair of corpses and observed for a moment, then suddenly turned back to us and said.

"What's the problem?" I recovered from the shock, strode towards him, and saw Lao Zhong gently pick up a piece of bone that had not yet turned into powder, and said Look, there are deep knife marks on this person's bones, and he turned his back on us just now, so everyone didn't see it, you see the traces of this knife mark, basically from the shoulder to the abdomen, and the bones below have knife marks, even the ribs are broken.

I was puzzled and asked Lao Zhong, saying how big of a knife is needed to cause such a wound? Lao Zhong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's not that the blade is big, it can cause this kind of scar, the strength of the arm of the person who does it is very amazing, I am confident that I can cut such a hole on the human body with a knife, but I can't cause such a scar on the ribs and shoulder blades of the corpse at the same time, the strength of this person's hand is too terrible, I am afraid that human beings may not be able to do it!" ”

I exclaimed, "It's not human, what is it?" Could it be ......"

Speaking of this, I subconsciously shut up, almost jumped out of the word "zongzi", under the tomb is not to talk nonsense, this is a taboo in the inverted bucket industry, although Ge Zhuang and I have violated this taboo many times, but every time the result of the taboo is not good, in this case, I can only pray in my heart, do not touch the main owner in this tomb.

Now we have completely lost the people, the passage in this tomb is very strange, presumably the passage we passed when we came down was not the same as the route taken by the foreigners, as for how the corpse in front of me was separated from the team, and came here, I don't know, in short, everything is unknown.

I stood up and said to the two of them, "Let's go, you can't go ahead, if there is really a fire pit, you have to hang one if you go to one, go back first, let's try to find the ruins of the Kwantung Army is real." ”

People can't be greedy, the treasure that Kenjiro Fujino and his grandfather looted during the war is already an incalculable fortune, in this case, why should we still be obsessed with this Goguryeo tomb?

Ge Zhuang also agreed with me, saying yes, no wonder this tomb and the underground base are so close, those Japanese devils didn't dig up this tomb back then, such a dangerous place is really not for people, let's go, find out if there is any other way out.

We stood up and prepared to return along the passage we had come from, but this time we turned around, and the unthinkable happened again, the previous passage was gone, and there was a wall behind it.

"The Malegobi, the terrain here is simply a spinning top, wait, I hope the passage can turn back as soon as possible!" Ge Zhuang scolded angrily at the bare stone wall.

With what happened before, we already knew that this tomb was rotating, like a millstone, and as for the passages we walked through, it was the "eye" on the millstone, and there was more than one such eye, so we missed it with the group of foreigners in front of us.

No matter how it turns, there will always be a point in time when the passage that disappeared will turn back again, maybe the passage that appeared the second time is not the one we just walked through, but anyway, as long as there is a passage, we will not be trapped here alive.

Thinking of this, the three of them had to sit down in place, smoking a cigarette and waiting quietly, the old clock looked down at his watch from time to time, about half an hour later, we were a little uncalm, you look at me, I look at you, they are all at a loss, why has it been so long, and the passage has not turned around again?
