Chapter 21: Entering the Temple
The three of them, who had palpitations, did not dare to stay by the river for a long time, for fear that some moths would be born later, so they continued to walk forward.
But soon there was no road ahead, and a dilapidated temple appeared, which looked like it was about to collapse.
There is actually a ruined temple in the depths of the ground, Rao is used to seeing the eccentric Wu Ze, and he also thinks it is incredible.
There are no statues or statues of gods in the main hall, and they may have been taken by others long ago.
The wind, which had stopped for a long time, began to blow again, and it blew louder and louder, and the dilapidated small temple suddenly made a piercing creaking sound, as if it was about to collapse half of it in the next second, and people panicked when they heard it.
I looked around at a number of places, but I didn't find anything special.
Wu Ze walked into this broken temple again, the empty statue, below is an altar, the more Wu Ze looks at it, the more wrong it becomes, the general altar is piled up with clay selfishness, but the altar in front of him seems to be a little wrong.
Wu Ze gestured to silence Luo Fatzi and Jiang Yan, who were talking.
The three of them slowly approached the altar, Wu Ze bent down and gently tapped a place in front of him with a hammer, and sure enough, there was a burst of empty echoes, there was a problem, the three of them glanced at each other, Luo Fatzi picked up the shovel, and smashed it down, and after a splash of mud, a dark hole was revealed on the right side of the altar.
Wu Ze probed forward with a shovel, and found that through a thick wooden board, he took out a strong flashlight, and when he irradiated it, he soon found that this wooden board was originally movable, and it was obviously a switch in and out of the hole.
There is no way to go forward, and going back can only become the snack of the ghoul dolphin.
Needless to say, Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi both understood that they could only go into this cave and take a look.
Luo Fatzi hurriedly pulled open the plank, and was about to drill into it, but was pulled by Wu Ze.
When the entrance of the cave was opened for about a quarter of an hour, some cold wind poured in, and after washing away some turbidity, Wu Ze put on a simple mask for Luo Fatzi and Jiang Yan, lit a candle, and took the lead into the cave.
Although he didn't bring the black donkey's hooves, Wu Ze's backpack had some tools for exploring the tomb.
Fortunately, this cave is quite well dug, and there are wooden frames with fixed mud roofs all the way, so there is no need to worry about collapse, but the hole is not big, and after a while of advancement, you have to climb.
The dim candlelight, the turbid atmosphere, and the small space make people feel extremely depressed.
Suddenly, Wu Ze's eyes darkened, the candle in his hand went out, Wu Ze hurriedly touched the windproof lighter, lit the candle, he took off the stab-proof gloves, probed around, and did not find that there was air flow in front of him, it should not be a lack of oxygen, probably he accidentally touched it, he comforted himself.
After a while, Jiang Yan patted Wu Ze's heel in the back, Wu Ze looked back and found that she was panting, probably tired, so he waved his hand and rested for a while, and at this moment, the candles in their hands were extinguished together.
Wu Ze quickly lit the lighter again, and touched the candle on the ground, but found that it was empty, and the candle that had just been placed on the ground was gone.
Wu Ze's scalp tingled, he tore off the simple mask, and said to Jiang Yan behind him, retreat quickly.
"Something is wrong!" After crawling back for a while, Jiang Yan behind Wu Ze stopped, and Luo Fatzi was at the back, and his voice trembled a little and said, "The passage behind us is blocked by a stone slab!" ”
It was okay to climb all the way in just now, why was the hole behind him suddenly blocked by the stone slab, Wu Ze knew that things were a little weird, so he used a strong flashlight to shine it, turned his head, and found that the thick stone slab was very smooth, and there was no sliding mechanism.
Wu Zeqiang endured the fear in his heart, glanced at Jiang Yan, and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, there are many ancient tombs with this kind of mechanism, but there will definitely be another exit, let's continue to go forward and have a look!" ”
Jiang Yan's face turned a little pale, nodded, and followed Wu Ze with Luo Fatzi, and crawled forward again, they quickly climbed a few hundred meters, and at this time, a new situation appeared, and Wu Ze was a little dumbfounded.
"There are four holes ahead!"
A cross-section was dug out in front of them, with a hole in each of the four sides, up and down, left and right, and a large space dug out in the middle.
It seems that someone has entered this cave before, and after finding that the retreat path was blocked by stone slabs, they dug roads from several directions to escape.
Wu Ze's heart settled down a little, if this was really the case, then at least he could ensure that he would not be trapped in it.
"Stop for a while, let's see which way to go!" Wu Ze said to Jiang Yan behind him.
Soon, Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi climbed out of the cross-section and squatted side by side with Wu Ze, for the sake of insurance, Wu Ze took out a rope from the package behind him and tied it to the waists of himself, Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi.
Wu Ze decided to climb in from the hole on the right to take a look, fortunately, after not entering a few meters, he could clearly feel the flow of an air current, and it seemed that there was a lot of space in front of him, so that air convection could be generated.
Wu Ze's heart is more settled now, as long as the air quality is fine, then he will not encounter the problem of suffocation.
The further he climbed, the more the situation was as Wu Ze judged, and when he reached the end of the cave, he went down vertically, and suddenly the space expanded a lot, and it was obviously not an escape route.
It's actually a burial chamber.
This ancient tomb is quite large, the front and rear tombs are hundreds of square meters, and when he walked to the back tomb, Wu Ze turned on the strong flashlight and shone it around, Jiang Yan asked with some surprise: "There is no coffin in this tomb, there is no coffin bed?" ”
Since it is a burial chamber, there is no doubt that its main function is to put the coffin of the owner of the tomb, so this empty main burial chamber, I don't know what happened.
Could it be that even the coffin board was taken away by the previous tomb robbers? This is obviously impossible.
Luo Fatzi also looked around with this Wu Zechao, and then said, "Brother Ze, something seems to be wrong, it's too clean." ”
Although Luo Fatzi is afraid of death, he has also been fooled by Wu Ze before, and he has entered several ancient tombs, and what he saw before is very different from the various ancient tombs now.
Wu Zezai looked at it carefully, not to mention the coffin, not even half of the bottles and jars that accompanied the burial were found, and the entire tomb was as clean as if it had been licked by a dog.
However, looking at the shape and structure of this tomb, it is obvious that it should be the burial place of a nobleman, but Rao is Wu Ze can't recognize what dynasty tomb this is.
The ceiling and floor of the round sky, the colorful murals on the walls, and the daily life customs displayed all show the status of the tomb owner during his lifetime.
Luo Fatzi and Jiang Yan looked left and right, but they couldn't see why.
Wu Ze took out a candle from the package again, and placed it in the southeast position, no abnormality was found, although the flame was a little shaky, but there was no sign of extinguishing it.
