A Visitor to the Mountains Chapter 16 Mud Bodhisattvas and Mud Bodhisattvas
"Shang and Zhou tombs? But how did the Shang and Zhou tombs appear in Xinjiang? I asked.
"I also think it's weird. Judging by the men's plans, they were sure that there was an ancient tomb here, but they didn't know anything about it. Tang Zhengcao paused and lowered his voice, "But I don't have the courage to tell you the truth, if I say it, they will definitely kill me!" ”
"But you can tell me! I'm no threat to you! I'm not going to kill you either! I said with a little excitement.
"It's not like I haven't tried, I'm already reminding you when I'm in the ear chamber! Besides, besides, those people keep staring at the two of us, and I don't even have a chance to say a word to you! They all have guns! Tang Zhengcao explained.
"Damn grave robbers! Damn it! I cursed.
"Actually, the current situation is not too bad, as long as they don't find the hole above, we are safe, take advantage of this time to think of a way, maybe we can get out of here!" Tang Zhengcao said.
"Get out? What if you go out? Just the two of us? How do you cross the stagnant water? Do you have grenades? The water is full of piranhas! "I didn't have the heart to say.
My heart began to be disappointed, and then to despair, and I was desperate to hope that Tang Zhengcao would be able to tell the big secret of turning the situation around. But now it seems that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. His secret is indeed too late to say or not, whether it is the ancient tomb of Shang and Zhou, or the tomb of the high monks of the Shupantuo Kingdom, no matter whose mausoleum this is, it doesn't matter to me, I can't get out anyway, anyway, my life is already in sight.
"Don't be discouraged, as long as we can get out of here, everything will be solved!" Tang Zhengcao patted me on the shoulder.
"Solve the egg! I'm a college student, I'm not mentally retarded! Less lie to me! They're tomb robbers, and so are you! You don't have a good thing! I went to a funeral and was caught here by you to work hard! One moment this lied to me and the other threatened me, they all treated me like a grandson, I was fed up! Why are you here to do something unreasonable? My girlfriend and my family are waiting for me to come home! Fuck me! Fuck!! I broke down emotionally and scolded, and vented to Tang Zhengcao.
Tang Zhengcao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You actually say that I am a tomb robber!" If I were with them, could I let them bully me like this and let them lead me by the nose?? I'm also angry, who am I going to reason with! You...... Ye Feng, I'm the same as you, and I'm just a student! What I said to you at Old Man Ning's house is true, but what can I do if I get into the car, I am also desperate! Ye Feng, the two of us are grasshoppers on a rope now, what else do I have to lie to you! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you're not doing this, you know so much about tombs, better than those tomb robbers! Zoroastrianism, Crimson Wadang, and spore fungi are all you say, you think I'm stupid! I glared at him.
"Why are you so extreme! I am a student of literature and history, so it is normal to have this amount of knowledge. Besides, if I didn't understand anything, you'd all be dead! Tang Zhengcao argued.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this broken tomb!" I pointed at Tang Zhengcao and said.
"If it weren't for me, you would have died in the Zoroastrian ruins!" Tang Zhengcao pointed at me and said.
"Boom-boom-"
Between the two of us arguing, there was a loud noise on the ground, and the entire underground burial chamber began to shake violently, and there were constantly gravel and mud falling from the top, and many cracks were cracked on the top of the tomb, and there were explosions and the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground, and the cracks on the top of the tomb were getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to be unable to support it!
"Oops! These must have been shattered when the hanging coffin fell! The palace above must have collapsed! Tang Zhengcao said anxiously.
The two of us stumbled to the back of the burial chamber and hid behind a few clay figurines in the corner, and after a few minutes or so, the sound of shaking and collapsing gradually subsided, and the basement finally did not collapse, and I was temporarily spared.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, I've calmed down now. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm about to die trapped in the grave, and I just hope it doesn't hurt too much......
Surrounded by flying dust, I breathed in the turbid air, brushed aside the gravel at my feet, picked up a jug made of gold and played with it, and tried not to think about the troubles.
"Why are you sure this is a Shang and Zhou tomb? I asked Don Zhengcao.
"When I picked up the crumpled tile, I almost guessed it. At that time, I thought that the way back was blocked anyway, why not try it, in case there are other robbery holes in the tomb to get out, but who would have thought that this place is so unusual, when I saw the four tomb roads, I already knew that there was more than one bad luck. Tang Zhengcao shook his head helplessly.
"What's wrong with the four graveyards?" I asked.
"You don't understand, the tombs of the ancient royal family and nobles in our country can be divided into four tombs according to the number of tombs, two tombs of the Chinese character tombs and a tomb of the A-shaped tombs, the number of tombs represents the status of the level, in all the mausoleums, the sub-zigzag tombs with four tombs have the highest level, belonging to the emperor-level tomb scale. Let me tell you, you can count the sub-character tombs found in the whole country now on ten fingers. The most important thing is that if a tomb has the scale of an emperor-level tomb, then its anti-tomb robbery methods are more advanced and more cruel. That's why I'm in a hurry to escape when I'm in the ear chamber. Tang Zhengcao said seriously.
"But you ended up sending yourself to your death." I said coldly.
"But I'm still alive." Tang Zhengcao emphasized.
"But you don't have long to live, and you only have a few more hours to live."
"No, not just a few hours, what if things turn around? More time, more hope. Tang Zhengcao continued to emphasize.
"You don't still think you have any hope of getting out......" I said with a wry smile.
"As long as you don't die, there will be a turnaround. The coffin cannot be closed now. Tang Zhengcao said seriously.
"The coffin is conclusive...... We are now next to the coffin, not far from the coffin. "I threw the gin jug in my hand, and a man is about to die, even if he has ten thousand treasures, what is the use?
"Do you know the identity of the tomb's owner?" I asked him again.
Tang Zhengcao shook his head and said, "I didn't find any written records, so I have no clue at all." ”
"Hey, it's sad that you don't even know where you are in someone's grave when you are dying!" I sighed.
Probably infected by my negative thoughts, Tang Zhengcao stopped talking. It was quiet, and he stood up against the wall.
"Let's see." He said.
I was about to stand up with my back in my arms, when I accidentally caught a glimpse of something moving! In this thousand-year-old tomb, apart from me and Tang Zhengcao, who else can? Is there any other living creature here?
I was like an electric shock, so I hurried back to catch it!
"What's wrong?" Tang Zhengcao saw that my expression was abnormal, so he asked vigilantly.
"I just saw that there was a terracotta figurine, and it moved." I whispered.
Under the beam of the flashlight, these figurines that have gone through thousands of years have twisted smiles, hideous faces, teeth and claws, and indescribably weird.
Are they alive? Still is...... I looked at the coffin, and instantly felt a chill in my back.
"What are you doing, don't go over." I said to him.
"There are no ghosts in this world......"
Tang Zhengcao turned to me and said that before his words fell, the terracotta figurines closest to us stretched out a hand and pounced on us, at the same time, a black shadow flashed behind the terracotta figurines, and before I could react, a sharp dagger was already on my neck.
In the dim light of the flashlight, I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but I already knew who he was.
A person, a living person.
