Chapter 64: The Thousand-Year Tomb
What are the ingredients for the Red Domain?
I couldn't react for a while, aren't the Red Fan Dolls a legendary thing, why do they still have specific ingredients? Since the Red Domain Doll is a humanoid creature, can it be enough to eat just by eating flower petals?
The fat man saw the confusion on my face, and further explained to me: "I also heard that the red domain dolls are called 'Renrui', and everyone in the world flocks to them, but although they can run and jump, but their helpless strength is too small, not to mention tomb robbers, they are an old hunter, as long as they find their traces, they can easily capture them, so in order to survive, these red domain dolls have developed two means of self-defense." ”
"The first means is that they are born, it is said that they can secrete a special liquid on the surface of their body, through the membrane composed of this liquid, they can freely shuttle among the rocks, surely you have heard a lot of ginseng stories in ancient times? As the old saying goes, 'seven taels are ginseng, eight taels are treasures', the most famous Changbai Mountain ginseng visitor, once encountered a lot of large ginseng, this person saw people, like the soil of the sun swished into the soil and disappeared, in fact, they encountered not ginseng, but red fan dolls. ”
"The second means is this Manzhu Sawa Flower, only they can cultivate Manzhu Sawa with special means, not only as a reserve food for emergencies in times of difficulty, but also for self-defense, the special aroma emitted by Manzhu Sawa is useless to them, but for those Orion and Tomb Robbers with ill intentions, before they catch the Red Domain Doll, they are fluttering in that sweet and greasy aroma, it is precisely because of these two means of self-defense that the Red Domain Doll is so precious and can be passed down for so long without being extinct."
The fat man spoke vividly, but I was a little drumming in my heart, and asked tentatively, "Are you really false?" I know what you're bragging, don't you see a few legends from a weird novel and fool me together, right? ”
According to the fat man's temperament, if I had said this to him in the past, I would have blushed and argued with me thickly, but now he glanced at me with disdain and muttered: "You kid knows a fart, the water in this ancient tomb is deep!" ”
I didn't bother to argue with the fat man, racing against time to recover the energy in every beam of muscles, there is no difference between day and night in the ancient tomb, we stayed by the campfire, took turns to rest and keep vigil, the ancient tomb was quiet, as long as we didn't speak, there was no sound at all, staying like this for a long time, it really made people crazy.
After resting by the campfire for more than seven hours, and when I woke up, they had almost packed up, I took a box of cans that the little demon had scalded for me, poured it down three times and divided it by two, and then put on a slightly lighter backpack and walked forward with everyone.
In the camp left by the archaeological team before, we turned out four guns, one micro charge, one bird gun, two standard pistols, and the micro charge was given to the little demon, her marksmanship was the best except for Ji Gang; Ji Gang likes to use powerful firearms, so he took a bird gun; The remaining two pistols are naturally mine and the fat man - we don't dare to let Wu Li take the gun, and Hong Jinglong told us in advance that he is not used to using firearms, and he has his own weapons.
Hong Jinglong took a flashlight to hit the head, the fat man pressed the formation behind, the rest walked in the middle, and a group of six people walked inside along the tomb road.
This ancient tomb has been sealed for too many years, and the bottom of the tomb is covered with a layer of fine dust, we dare not go fast, and a slightly larger step will cause dust agitation, so we can only press the speed to the point that it is not fast or slow.
Although it is four years since I came to this pheasant tomb tomb, Hong Jinglong seems to be very familiar with the layout here, there is no hesitation when walking, the tomb is gloomy, there are thick bluestone slab bricks below, and the green bricks are also used on both sides, the most terrible thing is that the gaps in the green bricks are watered with copper juice and glutinous rice. And the size of these green bricks is not uniform, after a certain distance, the green bricks immediately changed their appearance and arrangement, and even used the size of a grinding disc to build a bluestone. This way of building can be said to be bizarre, and there is no pattern to follow.
What kind of person must be this who has the power to build such a huge tomb!
I secretly said in my heart, the little demon originally walked in front of me, but now it has become walking side by side with me, she looked around, and whispered: "Old Tang, what age do you say this ancient tomb is, how can I look at it more and more strangely, the road here...... Give me a particularly incongruous, mixed style. ”
Although the voice of the little demon has been put to the lowest, but the echo in this corridor is too loud, and it becomes a buzzing sound after the exit, I shook my head and said softly: "I don't know, I don't know much about this ancient tomb, not to mention the chaos, I can't see it, even if it has the distinctive characteristics of the dynasty, I can't see it." ”
Hong Jinglong, who led the way in front, said lightly: "I told you before I went to the ground, this ancient tomb is a very strange existence, in Chinese history, since there are records of tombs, there has never been such a strange tomb form, this place seems to integrate all the ancient tomb design schemes from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, but this is only a part, it accounts for three or four tenths, and the remaining six or seven tenths, unfortunately, even Professor Xu Baolin can't see their origins." ”
The fat man pondered for a while, and then said: "Then let's discuss these three or four tenths, since the tomb style here covers from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, is it possible that it was built in the Ming Dynasty or after the Ming Dynasty?" After all, if it was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, I definitely don't know what the tomb art was like in later generations, but if it was built by later generations, it would be much easier to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools. ”
"Boss Shen, it's not as simple as you think, I can't say it clearly in words, you can take a look forward, maybe you will understand." Hong Jinglong just shook his head and didn't explain much.
However, seeing his pretending to be a ghost, the fat man pursed his lips disdainfully and made a cutting sound.
The little demon gently stroked the cloud patterns on the stone wall as he walked, and asked, "Could this be a huge clan project?" I know a little bit about this, it is said that there are many mining holes in Chinese history, that is, across several dynasties, and even when they were sealed for hundreds of years, such as some mining caves, the Tang Dynasty began to excavate, and the excavation may not be completed until the Yuan Dynasty, will this tomb also be this kind of project? But...... China pays attention to 'the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded', I really haven't heard of any family's energy, which can stretch from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, which is too terrifying. ”
Hong Jinglong's words had a hint of appreciation: "What Miss Su said is consistent with Professor Xu Baolin's initial guess, he once mentioned in his notes, maybe this is a huge clan project, this place, may be a special place, the ancestors of the Western Zhou Dynasty thought that maybe building a tomb here may have endless benefits for future generations, and it may also make the dead buried here have the opportunity to become immortals, so they have mined such a huge tomb from generation to generation, going forward and successively, But on the sixth day of our descent to the earth, this statement was disproved by Professor Xu Baolin himself. ”
I was as fascinated as I was listening to a ghost story, and when I saw that Hong Jinglong didn't say anything, I immediately asked, "Why did you overthrow it?" What did Professor Xu Baolin see? ”
Hong Jinglong shook his head helplessly: "This is also a point I hope to find out, at that time we found a few dried corpses near the burial ditch, which was particularly weird, a bit like a feature in the desert, and all of us were attracted by these dried corpses, and then in a blink of an eye, Professor Xu Baolin was gone, we went separately to look for it, but he actually jumped down on the burial ditch, shouting while running: 'Wrong, all wrong, get out quickly, this is a trap!'" We hurriedly asked him what was going on, but Professor Xu Baolin was already stunned at this time, saying that each of us was a monster, a monster who ate human blood steamed buns, and he was crazy and couldn't say normal words, so we had no choice but to forcibly retreat with Xu Baolin's classroom. ”
Hong Jinglong's words carried a little sadness: "Although Professor Xu Baolin is here for the Red Domain Doll, this cannot erase the great contribution made by the old man to the archaeological industry for half of his life, especially his professionalism, which can be said to be the top in Huaiyang City, it is said that when the old man was young, he once ate and lived alone under the ancient tomb for a month, and got along with the skeleton shelf every night, and there was no abnormality, I really don't know, what Professor Xu Baolin saw, can be scared like this." ”
After listening to Hong Jinglong, I shuddered hard, damn it, I shouldn't have asked this topic, this pheasant tomb is weird enough, as soon as Hong Jinglong's gloomy words came out, I felt a chill on my back, it seemed that there was a monster lurking in every corner of these ancient tombs, trying to crawl out of the gap and gnaw my throat.
After walking for about half an hour, the road has become narrower and narrower, and there is a downward trend of oblique, the little demon can not walk side by side with me, so he sped up his pace and walked in front of me, I carefully held on to the stone wall to the front, Hong Jinglong also slowed down the pace in time to take care of us, and said: "Everyone be mentally prepared, this is a drainage canal of the ancient tomb, the road in front of it is narrower, and the slope is getting bigger and bigger, but the speed must be slowed down, under this ramp is a stagnant water, there are countless saber-toothed fish in it, If you fall into it, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
When I mentioned the word sabertooth fish, I thought of the sabertooth fish that was "hunted" by the little demon, and I couldn't help but think in my heart: What is the sabertooth fish, when the time comes, I will close the door and let the little demon gobly, come to kill one with a sabertooth fish, and kill a pair with a pair. Thinking of the end, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if I saw the scene of the little demon slashing the sabertooth fish one by one.
The little demon's body stiffened for a moment, and he turned his head to me with a little bitterness and said: "I know what kind of Xiao Jiujiu is in your kid's heart, I advise you to die, I can kill that sabertooth fish because it fell alone, went ashore, and I was also injured, if there is really a group of sabertooth fish down here, you can ask for more blessings, if you really accidentally fall into it, I will definitely burn the most expensive paper money for you." ”
After the little demon finished speaking, I felt my heart swish cold, and at this critical moment, I didn't know who hit my ankle hard, I was caught off guard, and I fell to the ground all of a sudden, screaming and sliding forward!
