Chapter 83: The Head of the Beast
"What's there?" I hurriedly asked the old prostitute.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is going to burn down the company camp too." After saying that, the old prostitute stood up, walked towards the backpack, and then took out all the guys who had made the hole from the backpack, and said to me: "Xiao Qi, this is for you, let's push the fire into it together." ”
As soon as I heard the old prostitute finish speaking, I understood what he meant, he wanted to use the fire attack to burn all the insects inside. It's a good idea, instead of building a fire in the thief hole to prevent the insects from crawling out, it is better to push the fire directly into it and burn the insects to death.
When the old prostitute and I pushed the fire inside, Meng Xinrui and Xiao Moyan were not idle, they moved all the charcoal from the coffin board on the ground to the outside of the robbery hole, and then the old prostitute and I pushed the charcoal inside. Fortunately, the hole is not long, and it takes no effort to push the fire forward.
In order to increase the fire inside, we removed the plastic packaging bags of most of the food in the backpack and tied them to charcoal to make them burn quickly.
For a time, the whole tomb was full of all kinds of mixed and unpleasant smells, including the smell of burnt insects, the smell of burning plastic, and the smell of smoke from burning wood. Fortunately, there is also a vent of the stone gate here, so that we will not be confused by the smoke.
The four of them didn't dare to rest at all in this situation, and everyone knew that once they inhaled an excessive amount of smoke, they were likely to lead to a coma, so when the fire inside burned for a while, we felt that the insects inside should be almost dead, so we took some soil on the other side of the wall and sealed the entrance to the thief hole.
In this way, the air circulating inside can be blocked, and without air, the open flame burning inside will naturally be extinguished.
After blocking the entrance to the cave, we dared to take a break until we thought that the fire inside was completely extinguished, and then we opened the hole again. After putting the smoke inside, I started to move on.
Returning to the space of the three sarcophagi inside, this place was already very different from the first time I entered, the walls around it had been blackened, and the ground was full of black shells of insects. I took a special look at the crack in the ceiling, and I guess there will be no more bugs falling off, and even if there are still bugs on it, it is estimated that it has become a barbecue at this time.
"Damn, it's so dark, it's a little difficult to find the entrance to the inside."
As soon as the old prostitute finished speaking, Meng Xinrui answered: "You just hope that the entrance mechanism is not burned out, otherwise even if you find it, you may not be able to enter." ”
"Oh my god, are you burying me, or are you belittling yourself, don't forget what we do, don't always think of yourself as a saint, what's wrong? If you can't open the mechanism normally, we won't rob the tomb, and it's a trouble to be with you literary thieves. The old prostitute consciously paused, glanced at Meng Xinrui, and then said: "As long as you can find the entrance to enter, even if the open mechanism is really burned by the fire, then Lao Tzu has a way to get in." ”
Meng Xinrui didn't pay attention to what the old prostitute said at all, and didn't even look at the old prostitute.
I stood motionless and looked at the position of the three sarcophagi, as if I had a premonition of where the entrance was.
If the entrance is really the direction I thought, then we were really careless when we first came in, and we didn't pay attention to the layout of the place at all, as long as we paid a little attention to the position of the three sarcophagi, then it was not difficult to judge the direction of the entrance.
"Don't look for it, the entrance should be on the opposite side of our cave." I finished and pointed to the stone wall in front of me.
"How can you be sure it's there?" Xiao Moyan looked at me suspiciously and asked.
I saw that she really didn't understand, so I explained to her: "Look at the layout here, the position of the three sarcophagi is relatively close to the left side of the stone wall, and the right side of the stone wall just leaves a passage more than 2 meters wide. I pointed with my right hand from the entrance of the cave to the stone wall inside, and said, "Do you think this distance looks like a common aisle?" We can infer from the footprints of the outside of the pass guò that there used to be a lot of people coming in and out here, so the road to the inside should be straight and not twisty and difficult. ”
"You mean to say that we were misled by the sarcophagus of the three heart-controlled organs above, and the three sarcophagi here are not the sarcophagi of the open-door mechanism at all, they are completely a trap?" Xiao Moyan asked.
"Yes, we were misled by the sarcophagus there, thinking that the three sarcophagi here were the same as there, so we fell into the mechanism here and made it like this."
Just as I was talking to Xiao Moyan, the old prostitute and Meng Xinrui had already taken the lead in walking to the stone wall. And as if they had found something, the two men clung to each other to see what was on the stone wall.
The old prostitute looked at the things on the stone wall and asked Meng Xinrui, "My day, what kind of play is this?" Have you ever seen this play? ”
"I haven't seen it," Meng Xinrui shook her head.
As soon as I heard the old prostitute asking something strange, I hurriedly walked there. When I walked to the stone wall, a round animal head pattern appeared on the stone wall of the old prostitute's finger.
This round beast head pattern is integrated with the stone wall, not big, not prominent, only the size of the moon cake of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this beast head looks particularly weird, and I have never seen this kind of beast head.
The appearance of this beast's head is neither like an ancient divine beast, nor does it look like a mountain beast, the only feature is that it has an incomparably huge mouth, which is about to occupy half the size of the entire pattern.
The middle of the beast's mouth is empty, and it is unknown whether it leads to the inside of the stone wall.
"Damn, don't touch this for now, I don't think it's a good thing, don't fucking it's a gas trap, then we're really done."
"The gas trap wouldn't work, would it? How do I feel like a door opener? I said confusedly.
"Poison gas is also possible, and the door opening mechanism is also possible, in short, we should see it before moving." Meng Xinrui said while looking at the beast's head.
When the three of us were wondering what this was, Xiao Moyan walked closer, just glanced at it, and asked himself, "Why is there this here?" ”
After hearing her say this, the three of us turned our heads to look at her almost at the same time, and asked in unison, "Do you know?" ”
Xiao Moyan looked at the three of us with very strange eyes, nodded, and said, "I've seen this thing, although I don't know what it's called on this pattern, but I know what it's for." ”
