Chapter 68: The Tiger's Mouth
The old prostitute's behavior made me feel at a loss for a while, and he actually untied his trouser belt, as if he was going to untie his hands against the stone wall.
Seeing this scene, I said that my heart was not good, and I hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, my arm was grabbed by something fiercely, and then something dragged me fiercely, and then I don't know what it was directly on my face, and a pungent smell poured into my nostrils.
The pungent smell was only present for a second, and it immediately gave me a thrill all over my body.
It seemed like a very simple spirit, but it made me feel relieved.
It was the old prostitute standing in front of me, who was holding my arm with one hand and holding a water-soaked mask in the other.
I turned my head to look at the moving group in front of me, and suddenly it dawned on me.
Got hit? I must have been tricked. Fortunately, there is an old prostitute by his side, otherwise I don't know what the consequences will be.
When the old prostitute saw that I was conscious, she took off the mask that was on my nose and made a gesture not to speak and continue to move forward.
I nodded slightly, turned around and walked on. As I walked, I wondered, what the hell is going on?
I remember what just happened. I knew I had been tricked, but I didn't know how. In my consciousness just now, I obviously saw the old prostitute in front of me, and I was obviously going to stop him from doing something, why did he stop me all of a sudden?
I hadn't taken a few steps forward, but the old prostitute touched me again from behind, signaling me to sniff the mask from time to time. I understood what he meant, he was afraid that I would be tricked again, and I did what he prompted.
After smelling the mask a few times, I found that although it was very pungent, it was very refreshing, and every time I smelled the mask, it looked very refreshing.
At this moment, I don't dare to think too much, because I have realized what happened to me just now. The sight I saw just now of the old prostitute untying his trouser belt was all an illusion. It all seemed like I had imagined it all on my own, and in retrospect, it was. Because the old prostitute has always been behind me from the moment he entered the passage to the white stone wall, and has never walked in front of me, the one I saw standing in front of him and stopping must have been imagined by me.
I haven't experienced the dust before, so I don't know how powerful it is, if my fantasy just now is caused by the dust, then the dust here still exists, maybe if you are not careful, you will fall into the dust. It's just that I'm curious about what the dust looks like. Actually, I didn't see a lot of dust here, and I didn't see any flying dust, so I didn't know how I got hurt by the dust.
All the way forward, I didn't dare to be distracted to think about things in the dust, so I was highly concentrated, and I didn't get hit again. It wasn't until I walked out of the dusty passage that the stone hanging in my heart completely fell.
Out of the dust passage, the passage in front of it is still a blue and black stone wall, but the passage here is straight, and there seems to be a stone room at the farthest point where the flashlight can reach.
We were at the back of the line, so it wasn't very clear from a distance.
"Old prostitute, what happened to me just now?" I lowered my voice to ask the old prostitute, in fact, I knew that I had been tricked, but I didn't know if I had any weird behavior at that time.
"Damn, you don't know yourself, you owe me a damn amount this time."
"Did I do anything weird just now?" I asked again.
"Weird, that's not true, you're just standing there." The old prostitute hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you want to say that weird is that you reached out to touch the stone wall, I found out that you were wrong at that time." ”
I nodded and didn't ask again, after all, the old prostitute is also the first time to experience the dust, so if you ask him about the dust, it will be in vain, it seems that I can only find time to ask the second uncle.
The stone chamber in front of me was much larger than I expected, and as soon as I entered the stone chamber, I felt like I had reached the end of the line, and I immediately wanted to sit down and rest.
Of course, the reality of the situation also had to stop us, because there was no longer a passage to the rest of the room in this large stone room. I know that this stone room in front of me is not the end, but there are second and seventh uncles here at this moment, so I don't have to worry about what to do next.
Obviously, there should be other entrances in this stone room, and the second uncle must know this stone room very well, otherwise he would not have brought us here. As for where the entrance is, that's not something I should be thinking about, and I think there will be an answer soon.
In my spare time, I took a brief look at the stone chamber full of carved statues, and the whole stone chamber was rectangular. I visually measured the length of the stone chamber at twenty meters, and the width was between fourteen and fifteen meters. There are some extremely simple carvings on the walls on the left and right sides of the stone room, which do not seem to contain any significance, and most of the carvings are some auspicious cloud patterns. However, the stone carvings placed next to the walls on both sides caught my eye.
I counted a total of sixteen stone sculptures, each of which was basically the same shape. The sixteen stone sculptures are all made of sixteen men dressed in animal skins and riding sixteen fierce tigers, the only difference is that the weapons in the hands of the sixteen men are different. There are those with meteor hammers, maces, tridents, and even some weapons that I can't even name, in short, these sixteen weapons don't look like they were commonly used by soldiers in the ancient Central Plains.
I'm used to seeing these statues in front of me, and there are countless statues of soldiers like this in any tomb. Especially in the tombs of some ancient generals, there will always be some stone carvings about the army, one is to symbolize the status of the tomb owner, and the other is to guard the tomb owner.
I was looking at the weapon held by the figure in the stone carving when I heard a clatter, a particularly crisp sound.
Following the sound, the second uncle was taking his hand out of the tiger's mouth of a statue. You don't have to think much to know that there must be a mechanism in the tiger's mouth of that statue, and the second uncle must have opened some mechanism just now.
I thought that the second uncle had turned on the mechanism, but I was still startled. Because the second uncle's hand had just left the tiger's mouth, there was a roar in the entire stone room. The sound came from overhead, and it sounded like the stone chamber was about to collapse.
The sound was a bit chilling, after all, there was no telling what was going to happen next, so many people were looking overhead. Even the second uncle, who opened the mechanism, was staring at it.
It seems that the second uncle is also the first time to open the tiger's mouth mechanism, although he knows what will happen next, it seems that he is still a little worried.
