The Legend of the Immortal Part 1 Liao's Mystery Chapter 20 The Iron Lock Corpse

Although there was no movement on the yellow flagpole, Zhang Guozhong still vaguely felt a little uncomfortable, to say that human beings are also animals after all, although some instincts have degenerated, but occasionally they are stimulated, "Senior brother, how can I ...... ...... you feel uncomfortable? The closer he got to the holes that resembled brick kilns, the stronger the uncomfortable feeling that Zhang Guozhong felt all over his body, as if he had not changed his posture after sitting in a car for more than ten hours, and the joints up and down his body felt awkward.

"Maybe it's a lack of oxygen, right?" Lao Liu Tou disagreed, although he is not very good at the theory of modern Western medicine, but common sense is still there, although the current hole is very large, but after all, it has been dusty for more than 2,000 years, the air quality in the cave is naturally much worse than the outside, he is somewhat top-heavy, when he first arrived in Bashan, he also had a similar feeling, but it was much lighter, after all, there was a thief hole in the treasure cave in Bashan that was connected to the outside world, and although the altar on the periphery of this cave was a thief hole, but the passage with the inside was sealed by water, The internal air quality is almost as it should be.

The door hole is only about one meter five high, after carefully entering the door hole, everyone found that the inside of the door hole was originally a large space, the length is not clear, but the width is at least ten meters, from the stone pillar in the middle full of chisel marks, the whole space should be completely artificially hard chiseled, probably for the sake of saving the amount of work, the height of the space is even lower than the cave built by Rì himself in Gongming Mountain, Myanmar, and even the old Liu Tou has a cat waist.

"What is this?" With a brief glow of the flashlight, Qin Ge couldn't help frowning, and under the flashlight, he saw rows of thick chains hanging neatly from the low ceiling of the cave, probably the thickness of his arms and wrists. It is enough to tie the anchor, and under each chain, there is a black hole, the diameter is about the same as the hole when you come down, and as far as the eye can see, until the place where the flashlight does not shine, there are about dozens of the same hole, like a hornet's nest. The cave is full of water. The water level is about twenty centimeters lower than the ground, and there is a shallow water channel between each hole. But the water level in the cave is already lower than the tank.

"How adult? Don't even know the chain? Lao Liu Tou cautiously walked to the iron chains, knocked on the thick iron chains with the tip of his sword, and listened to the movement, "It doesn't seem to be iron......

"It should be copper......" Qin Ge said, "The Qin people are good at smelting copper. The chains of the Qin State should be made of copper rather than iron. ”

"Okay, I don't need you to teach me a lesson......" Old Liu Tou squatted down and began to carefully observe the hole and sink under the copper chain, "Guozhong, it seems that this place is indeed broken!" ”

"How?" Zhang Guozhong also squatted down and touched the sink with his hand, which was already dry.

"If you look at this sink, it must have been designed to replenish water in these holes and prevent the water from evaporating, if it weren't for this sink. After more than 2,000 years, I am afraid that the water in this cave has dried up a long time ago! But you see, there is not much less water in the cave now, which means that the source of the sink has been blocked ......! Old Liu Tou squinted his eyes and snorted, "The one who blocked the sink, Bacheng stepped on a nail and walked over to the master!" "Makes sense...... Zhang Guozhong stood up and moved the chain with his hands. It seems to be quite heavy, "What's hanging in there......?" ”

"Definitely not a baby!" Old Liu Tou said, "Maybe it's human bones!" Don't move! Soaking in the water with yīn yang separated by each other may be fine, but I'm afraid it will be troublesome when you get out of the water! ”

"No...... It's not a bone......" Old Liu Tou's voice fell, and suddenly the voice of Elxun came not far away, and the voice seemed to be riveting, "Come and see...... What is it...... Fast! Can't hold on......! ”

"What are you doing?" Qin Ge raised his flashlight, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that while everyone was talking, Ai Xun slipped to the side alone, grabbed the iron chain and dragged the hanging thing out of the water.

"Huh? This daredevil...... "Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou took three steps and two steps to the side of Aierxun, and carefully looked at the black whirring thing that was dragged up......

At the same time, outside the cave.

It turns out that Sun Ting's resistance is indeed not very good, at first he pretended to be quite like a nobody, but as time passed minute by minute, Sun Ting, who had always been calm in appearance, began to fidget, plus Zhang Yicheng kept asking what was going on below, and when he waited for ten minutes, Sun Ting couldn't bear it, so he told what happened under the cave one by one, Zhang Yicheng's face turned pale when he listened, squatted down and opened the big travel bag and began to look for things, daggers, talisman paper, bottles and cans put a lot of them.

"Yicheng, ah......" Seeing Zhang Yicheng's actions, Sun Ting was even more anxious, "What about the four of them, they still have guns on them, they should be fine, right?" ”

"Uncle Sun, do you know how many there are on the other side?" Zhang Yicheng didn't raise his head.

"Well...... this" Sun Ting didn't say anything, just seeing people being pulled into the water, not to mention a few of the other party, he didn't even see what the other party was......

"I'll go down, and you'll keep watch from above!" Within three minutes, Zhang Yicheng was already "fully armed", the rune paper was rolled into a roll and packed in an empty mineral water bottle, and all the useful things in the big travel bag were basically poured into his backpack by Zhang Yicheng.

"How can this work?" Hearing Zhang Yicheng say this, Sun Tingdi's face turned red, a child heard that there was danger and wanted to go down, but an adult himself came up, if this kind of thing spreads, I don't know how he will be mixed in the archaeological circle in the future......

"Oops...... What a hassle! Zhang Yicheng didn't have time to talk about who was going to be under and who was not, and his father's life and death were uncertain...... "Then Uncle Sun, let's go down together!" Uncle Liu...... You stay here......"

"Hey...... Okay..."Big Hand Liu didn't know what was going on when he saw the two of them arguing, but he nodded in confusion.

The contents of the cave were probably dragged out of the water by Elxun for more than 20 centimeters, and it seemed to be quite heavy. Through the flashlight, Zhang Guozhong found that the chain was connected to a circle-shaped cage, similar to a bird cage, the top of the cage was dragged to a position equal to the ground, the diameter of the cage was only half a circle smaller than the hole in the ground, and it was basically tightly fitted in the hole, which should be specially made for these holes. Inside the cage was a black mass, similar to the black stuff under the altar when entering the cavern.

"What's this thing in here?" Lao Liu Tou took a strong photo with a flashlight, and found that the surface of the things in the cage was numb, as if it was not a corpse. I put the tip of my sword into the cage and stabbed it, feeling hard and soft, and I don't know what it is.

"It doesn't seem to be a corpse...... old Liu's curiosity also came up, "Brother Ai, you can raise it a little more...... Guozhong. You help him! ”

Standing opposite Alxun, Zhang Guozhong's legs split and ate hard. grabbed the iron chain, shouted, and lifted the chain up about ten centimeters, "I said senior brother, you are clean!" It won't last long! "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. At this mention, Zhang Guozhong almost flashed his waist, this thing is several times heavier than he imagined, no wonder the green tendons on Alxun's neck burst out......

"What the hell is this......" Old Liu Tou simply put his hand into the cage and touched the surface of the black slag of the thing, it felt a bit like a metal mesh, but the workmanship was rough, and the gap could probably poke a finger in, "What the hell is the sacred ......?" Old Liu Tou simply poked a finger through the crack in the iron mesh. It doesn't matter if this poke is made, it just feels like a floating sac inside, like a rotten tomato, but the tenacity is a little stronger, "It's not good!!" Let it go!! Old Liu Tou chuckled in his heart, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and put it under his nose to smell. A strange smell (the smell of poly yīn) went straight to the brain. At the same time, only listening to a scream in the cave, Zhang Guozhong, who listened to it, suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, and the subway chain in his hand was released instantly, and the cage sank into the water again.

"This one just now...... Could it be ......" Hearing this, Qin Ge's face also changed, and he had also heard this kind of sound in Bashan at that time*, no matter what the principle was used, but all in all, it was an ominous omen.

"Broken...... Broken...... Trouble, trouble, trouble......" Old Liu Tou muttered and picked up the seven-star sword, "Get out quickly...... It's not good stubble! ”

At this time, Erxun and Qin Ge had already pulled out their guns, while Zhang Guozhong had already run outside the cave and opened his eyes towards the darkness.

"Guozhong...... Is there anything that doesn't? Old Liu's face was covered with sweat.

"It's like...... It's nothing ......" Zhang Guozhong turned around and opened his eyes, "It doesn't seem to have come out yet, hurry up and ...... out!" With that, a few people began to stride in the direction in which they had entered......

"Senior brother...... What the hell was that thing just now? Zhang Guozhong asked as he ran.

"It's a fucking corpse!" Old Liu Tou panted and said, "Wrapped in a latte net!" ”

"That'...... What did the ancients do with iron nets? Zhang Guozhong was also shocked when he heard it, it turned out that in ancient times, there were really corpses soaked in water......

"You ask me?" Old Liu Tou said, "I poked it with a sword, it was hard, and I thought it was something?" Who would have thought it was a corpse? ”

"I'll get off the ...... first" After running to the water's edge, Alexun volunteered, jumped down normally, and saw that there was no movement, Zhang Guozhong also got into the water, just swam to the underwater doorway, and met Aierxun who was swimming back.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Guozhong made an underwater gesture, but he didn't expect that Aierxun didn't even have the time to make a gesture, so he pulled Zhang Guozhong up and swam back......

--------------------------------

Note*: Iron-smelting during the Autumn and Warring States Period: The iron-smelting technology of the early Autumn Period was not yet developed, and it could only smelt raw iron, and it was not resistant to forging, so it was called "evil gold", while bronze was called "US gold" because of its good extension xìng and plastic xìng, and at that time, "evil gold" could only be used to make agricultural tools. Chinese; Qi Yu once recorded: Dollars are used to cast swords and halberds, and dogs and horses are tried; Evil gold is cast with hoes, and the loam is tested. By the middle and late Warring States period, the iron-smelting process had developed unprecedentedly (the iron swords of the Yan Kingdom unearthed in Yixian County, Hebei Province had reached the hardness of modern high-carbon steel), but they were still limited to making short weapons, such as swords and axes. At that time, because copper weapons were easy to smelt and cut and the technology was mature, most of the main battle weapons used by various countries to equip the army on a large scale were still made of bronze, and at the end of the Warring States Period, there was a situation where iron and copper weapons coexisted. Screaming: This sound is "mourning", that is, the meaning of the dead opening their eyes, in the Maoshan technique, it has been disposed of and the resentment is revived, and it will make the sound of "mourning", which is the same as the truth of the sound of the sky, but the meaning of the representation is just the opposite, see the "Descendants of Maoshan" of the "National Treasure Seal" Chapter 43 "Secret Room".
