Chapter 22: The Face of the Tomb
"Brother Ze, there is also a side hall here!"
Wu Ze and Jiang Yan followed the shouts of Luo Fatzi through this tomb and came to a side hall in front.
As soon as the two entered the side hall, they felt that something was wrong, the scale of this side hall was actually larger than the main tomb, and the problem was that many structures had not been completely built, and it seemed that they were forced to give up after only half of the construction.
The door of the tomb to transport materials in and out has been sealed, and there is probably only a shelf around it, and the walls on all sides are erected with huge stone strips, and the gaps have also been smoothed, and there are some anti-tomb mechanisms such as sand turning and barbs, which are also semi-finished products, and are piled up there.
It's just that judging from the tomb wall and the sealed tomb door, the people who built these half-finished products should have retreated in an orderly manner, and the things were stacked neatly and not messy, but why should they give up, such a cemetery where the main burial chamber has been completed? Wu Ze and the two were puzzled.
"Let's go back the way we came, and see if the other roads can get out smoothly!" Wu Ze, who sensed some danger, said to Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi.
"Could this place be a so-called grave of doubt? According to historical records, many princes and nobles, in order to prevent their tombs from being destroyed, often build several doubtful mounds around them, making it more difficult to rob tombs! Jiang Yan asked.
Wu Ze thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be possible, first, the scale of the doubtful grave will not be so large, and then go to great lengths to get this underground ......"
Wu Ze said as he walked into the main burial chamber.
"Shh
Wu Ze suddenly made a silent movement, Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi looked up, only to see a figure behind the candlelight in the northeast corner of the main tomb.
The faint candlelight was still flickering, the light and shadow in the corner of the wall were mottled, flickering and dimming, a miserable white face appeared behind the light shadow, and the body was hidden in the corner of the wall, Wu Ze and Jiang Yan, who had just stepped into the tomb with their front feet, could not see the body of the human face clearly.
When Wu Ze was in this main tomb just now, he had been carefully examining it for a long time, and he didn't find anything, so is this miserable white face a human or a ghost?
Luo Fatzi said with some trembling: "Brother Ze, what should I do, or let's go another way?" ”
There is no coffin in this tomb, so it is absolutely impossible to be a zombie zongzi, is it also a tomb robber, or a revenant?
Wu Ze has already drawn out the paratrooper knife, whether it is a person or a ghost, he must first figure it out.
After a stalemate for a long time, there was no movement, Wu Ze had been waiting for the other party's movement, but the candles were about to burn to the end, and the miserable white face was still standing in the corner of the tomb without moving.
If it is a tomb robber, it should be able to make a sound, or signal, could it be that it is really a dead soul, the owner of this tomb?
He opened his mouth and shouted, "Where is the sacredness ahead?" ”
The other party still didn't move.
Jiang Yan whispered: "Aren't we dazzled, that face is the shadow of those figures on the mural, diffracted by candlelight?" ”
was told by Jiang Yan like this, Wu Ze was also a little undecided, could it be that he was scaring himself?
But compared with the colorful murals on the wall, there is too much difference, maybe it is this empty tomb, something that came out of nothing, and the small hole that came in just now was inexplicably blocked by stone slabs.
The candle flame was getting darker and darker, and seeing that there was only a spark left, it was about to burn out, Wu Ze and Jiang Yan glanced at each other, the paratrooper knife protected their chests, and slowly took a step.
Wu Ze held a knife in one hand and a fist in the other, walking in front, and Luo Fatzi held a sapper shovel and followed Wu Ze's footsteps closely.
Wu Ze, who took the lead, had a little sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was because of fright or nervousness, if it was a zongzi, Wu Ze would not be like this, at most he would fight to the death, and he was most afraid of these mysterious things.
Slowly approaching, just as the figure was about to completely enter Wu Ze's eyes, when Wu Ze was about to swing forward, suddenly the candle in the southeast corner of the tomb went out, and the pale figure suddenly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a ghostly shadow.
As soon as the candle went out, Luo Fatzi and Jiang Yan both had goosebumps on their bodies at the same time, and a chill involuntarily rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Gee......
A cacophony rang out in the empty burial chamber.
Wu Ze and Jiang Yan walked forward, and after walking a few steps further, they arrived at the miserable white face, and as soon as the strong flashlight shone, it turned out that there was no one in the corner at all, there was indeed a face, but it was a human figure carved from a piece of white marble.
Underneath the portrait is a coffin.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yan asked Wu Ze with a look of disbelief.
"What the hell is this? The tomb was completely empty just now, and there was absolutely no such thing! Luo Fatzi then said.
He and Jiang Yan were a little, and their faces were already pale.
Wu Ze's expression was a little solemn, this coffin seemed to appear out of thin air, and when he approached the white marble coffin, he saw that the miserable white human face was carved on it, lifelike, with a cold and indifferent expression, as if he wanted to despise all beings.
"Be quiet!"
Wu Ze continued: "Look at the ornamentation on this coffin, it is definitely not the shape of the Han Dynasty, there is no such pattern in all dynasties, you look at this strange pattern, no one will use it in the tomb, let alone the coffin." ”
Hearing Wu Ze say this, Jiang Yan was also a little confused, she had been in the Department of Archaeology for a long time, and she was no longer familiar with the shape of the tombs of previous dynasties, but the historical records she saw in front of her were blank.
Things were a little unbelievable, and Luo Fatzi asked in a low voice, "Could it be some ghost messing around?" ”
Wu Ze thought for a while and said, "Let's hurry up and leave here in a different way." ”
He was about to take a step, but Jiang Yan was a little moved at the moment, she was in the Institute of Archaeology, and she had a great curiosity about things that had not been recorded in history.
"Why don't we pry open this white marble coffin and see what's inside?" Luo Fatzi is also a little greedy.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Wu Ze to answer, he stepped forward, carefully touched the human-faced statue, and pushed it hard, but it didn't move, it seemed that it was locked inside, even if there was a crowbar, it was estimated that it wouldn't be able to get it up for a while, Wu Ze was worried that once it was pried open, it would be fine, if there was a thousand-year-old zongzi, it would be more troublesome.
After thinking about it, Wu Ze made up his mind and said to Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi: "Since it can't be opened, forget it, don't worry about this thing for now, let's hurry up and find a way out, and if we stay, maybe something strange will happen again!" ”
Heading back the way you came, the more wrong it became, the cross-section never appeared, let alone a few other openings.
"What the hell is this place, uncle?" Luo Fatzi scolded.
At the end, the three of them were completely dumbfounded, and it was another strange burial chamber, and the ground was full of all kinds of statues.
"How did we get here? Didn't they all go back the way they came? Jiang Yan was really starting to get scared at this moment.
Lost, lost all the time!
