Chapter 66: The Bronze Temple
This time it was Hong Jinglong's turn to be surprised, he turned his head, and an unfriendly cold light flashed in his eyes: "You know me? ”
Wu Li took two steps back, raised his hand to make a surrender form, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be so close to the enemy Brother Hong, I'm not stupid, I have naturally heard of the name of the Hong family in Kanto, six generations of tomb robbers, is a rare tomb robber family that also talks about rules, legend has it that the family rules are widely spread in the tomb robbery world'Seven take ten do not take', although I Wu Li does not talk about the rules, but I admire the people who talk about the rules, and Brother Hong is not a hypocrite, take the rules to bind himself instead of asking people, he talks about the rules, but does not hinder others, this kind of person, I Wu Li admires more. ”
Wu Li's last two sentences are the same as tongue twisters, but I still understand, I really didn't expect Hong Jinglong to have such a big reputation in the tomb robbery world, but think about Wu Li's methods, the copper-poured iron-like stone wall was inserted like tofu, and the flying knife in one hand just now was shocking.
Hong Jinglong was naturally cold, and he didn't react at all to Wu Li's praise, but after a faint glance at him, he came to the corner and flipped next to a pile of bags, this pile of bags has been here for four years, and it was full of dust and mouse feces.
Wu Liyin smiled, slowly walked to the mouse nailed by Beihong Jinglong and squatted down, slowly pulled out the flying knife on the mouse, admired it for a while, and then gently put it aside, and then two miserable white hands stretched out to cover the mouse, and in just ten seconds, countless strange-shaped Gu worms crawled out along his wrists, fell on the mouse and desperately sucked the blood flowing from the wound, this scene made my hair almost stand upside down.
Sensing that I was looking at him, Wu Li turned his head and smiled at me: "I haven't touched any living creatures in the past few days, the little ones are starving, fortunately Brother Hong killed this mouse, otherwise, I would have to feed them with my own flesh and blood." ”
Its words completely broke the last trace of defense in the little demon's heart, and the little demon covered his mouth and ran out with a pale face, not even having time to speak.
It seems that everyone has their own weaknesses, the little demon is not afraid of beasts, monsters, or even ghosts, but she is afraid of disgusting, especially those dirty environments, if she doesn't endure it, she can't stand it for a second.
"Found it."
Hong Jinglong's indifferent voice came from around the bag, he stood up with a modified miner's lamp, and after twisting the switch slightly, with the sharp sound of stabbing and stabbing, the miner's lamp flickered and flickered for a long time, and finally lit up with a bang.
Hong Jinglong hung the miner's lamp on the stone wall, and gently kicked the package in the corner of the wall with his foot: "This miner's lamp is a more practical thing in the archaeological team, I didn't expect to be smashed back then, and now it can still be used, I just saw it, in addition to the battery contained in the miner's lamp, there is also a set of batteries, which is not a problem to support for seven or eight days, and this pile of equipment, the food in it has been eaten up by mice, but a lot of mining equipment should still be able to be used, and I will teach you how to use it later, with these things, Our chances of surviving underground are at least thirty percent higher. ”
"Ahh
As soon as Hong Jinglong Huaying fell, the screams of the little demon came in from outside, my heart sank, and I was about to run out to see what was going on, but the little demon had already flashed and ran in, screaming: "Close the door, close the door quickly!" Mouse...... The rats are coming! ”
Even Hong Jinglong's face changed, and he rushed to the door with an arrow, and pushed the stone door with us, I took the opportunity to look outside through the gap, and saw countless mice forming a black flood, overwhelmingly pressing over, not to mention people, even if a tiger fell inside, it would have to turn into a pile of white bones in three minutes.
A second before the arrival of the rat army, the stone gate was finally closed tightly, and I heard a dense crackling sound like raindrops outside, it was those rats who were hitting the stone gate desperately, fortunately this stone gate was thick enough, otherwise I am afraid it would not be able to stop these rat army.
The little demon is like a little animal frightened by thunder, shrunk in my arms and shivered, the long eyelashes were already full of teardrops, I suddenly realized, the little demon is most afraid of mice, seeing this group of mice she must have remembered her mouse godfather.
I reached out and gently hugged the back of the little demon, when the palm of my hand was just put up, the little demon was obviously trembling, but she slowly closed her eyes and leaned on my arms, I gently patted her back, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they can't get in......"
After seven or eight minutes, the little demon's mood finally calmed down, and even her breathing became slow and even, and I looked at her face, and she was already asleep.
Also, she has been spinning in a row these days, and her spirit has been highly nervous, but now that she suddenly saw so many mice, her originally suppressed emotions suddenly broke out in an instant, and after the outburst, her mood was much calmer.
I glanced at the fat man, the fat man muttered and reluctantly cleaned the corner, and then pulled out the sleeping bag from the bag and laid it on the ground, I gently picked up the little demon and put her on it, and was about to get up and leave, but found that the little demon had been holding the corner of my clothes tightly, I wanted to slowly break her hand, her sleeping face immediately flashed a trace of panic, I sighed, slowly took off my coat and put it on her, and then got up and left slowly.
The fat man whispered to me with a bitter face: "Old Tang, although I don't want to break your warm atmosphere now, there is a problem that has reached the point of imminence, and I think you must know. ”
I glanced at Hong Jinglong, and there was also a trace of worry on his calm face, and his heart sank at the moment, and he asked the fat man: "What's wrong, everyone is so nervous?" ”
The fat man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said softly: "The structure of this ear chamber is very tight, and there have not been many major flaws after so many years, which is why the archaeological team chose this place as a temporary base four years ago, and Hong Jinglong also went to this place for the first time in four years, so in the past four years, this place has been sealed, right, this mouse...... How did it come about? ”
yes, how can a rat be in a sealed ear chamber? Could it be that this rat grew up in this?
I looked at the rat that had been crucified by Hong Jinglong, and I was shocked to find that the dead rat had turned into a corpse-like existence, leaving only the broad rat skin covering the skeleton, and the flesh and blood inside had been devoured by the Gu worms raised by Wu Li.
Hong Jinglong frowned: "I have a preliminary suspicion that this ear chamber is not safe, I don't know where there is a problem, it can accommodate rats to get in, but I looked for it just now, and I didn't find a mouse hole." ”
I absolutely believe in Hong Jinglong's vision and judgment, but this fact is here, and the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, and I muttered to myself: "Could it be that these rats can still penetrate the wall?" ”
Wu Li's eyes had just lit up and dimmed, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, even if you can pass through the wall, only a good omen like the Red Fan Doll that has not been encountered in a hundred years, like this ordinary mouse, where did you learn the wall piercing technique?" ”
I just said it casually, I didn't expect Wu Li's reaction to be so big, could it be that he went to the ground not only because of the promise with Hong Jinglong, but also because he had something to do with the Red Fan Doll?
Before I could figure out this relationship, I heard the fat man laugh and gag: "Hey, why do you want these useless things, you see, some of us have guns, Brother Hong's flying knives are superb, and Brother Wuli's Gu magic is unpredictable, even if these rats are here, that is, it is more difficult to kill, how can there be a big problem." ”
Hong Jinglong stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, muttering to himself: "It's just like this, everyone be vigilant, take a step and look at the step." There are many strange things in the Pheasant Tomb Ancient Tomb, as long as you let your guard down for a second, Lord Yama's post will be handed to your head. ”
Wu Li stood up and picked up his sleeves, the creepy poisonous insect just now no longer knew where to hide, and he said to Hong Jinglong: "Brother Hong, didn't you say that when you get to the ear room, you will tell us the basic structure of this ancient tomb?" Now let's hurry up and get this done first. ”
Hong Jinglong nodded, sat down directly on the spot, took a piece of iron chisel that I can't name, drew a simple diagram in the dust on the ground, and pointed: "Everyone, please see, this is where we are now, about two hundred meters further, we enter the drainage canal and officially drill into the pheasant tomb from this drainage canal, at the end of this drainage canal, there is a rectangular pond, the pond must be at least ten meters deep, more than five meters wide, and ...... in length I don't know, don't look at me like that, anyway, in a pitch black underground, we really didn't find the end of the length of this pond, Professor Xu Baolin even suspects that this pond is the moat of this ancient tomb, and directly surrounds this ancient tomb. ”
Hong Jinglong paused, continued: "This pond is the first difficulty we faced, four years ago the archaeological team was trapped here for three days, paying the price of four serious injuries to find out the correct way to cross the river, you listen to me, between 12 and 10 to 15 in the evening, the river will slowly fall, revealing the bronze pillars inside, these bronze pillars are densely packed all over the riverbed, it seems that there is no regularity, but in fact there is a pattern at all, but I can't tell you in words, when the time comes, you just follow me, remember, You must not make a mistake, as long as you step on the wrong step, this little life has to be explained there, there are not only sabertooth fish in this huge pond, but also dense piranha variants - I don't know what to call them, some like Western piranhas, but not very similar, half smaller than piranhas, but the attack power and speed are much greater than orthodox piranhas, because they attack like mad dogs, so Professor Xu Baolin calls them ' Mad pike', remember, compared to mad pike, saber-toothed fish are as docile as sheep, if you really fall into the water, even if you are swallowed by saber-toothed fish, don't deal with mad dogfish. ”
The fat man did not show a look of fear on his face, on the contrary, he was a little eager to try: "Then what is behind this pond?" Could it be more dangerous than a pond? ”
A trace of horror appeared on Hong Jinglong's face: "If it were possible, I would rather face the pond ten times than walk through the Bronze Temple again!" ”
