Chapter 13: The Pool
We got up to the top of our lungs to explore. But the flashlight slowly dimmed, and the irradiation range was only a few meters away. The old farmer ordered the flashlight battery to be replaced, and instructed the old battery not to be discarded in case of emergency. We had to order, after a quick battery replacement, to bite the battery a few times with our teeth, and then put it in the backpack. Maybe you don't understand why you need to bite into the old electricity that you replace. This is done in order to distinguish it from the new battery. Second, after biting, the battery will be recharged to the greatest extent and prolong the use time. I'm sure many people have done this.
After cleaning up, under the light of the flashlight, we saw that this tomb was at least dozens of meters wide and narrow. Our flashlight couldn't reach the opposite wall. In the center of the burial chamber are square buildings that resemble containers, or tables and chairs. In the irradiation range of the flashlight, it can be seen that there are at least a dozen such things.
Feng Laonong raised his hand and motioned for everyone to spread out and walk side by side. We lined up and walked slowly towards these things.
When I came to a square building, I realized that it was a two-meter square pool. Four flashlights shone into the pool at the same time. It was found that the pool was about one meter five or six deep, and there was only some black stuff at the bottom of the pool. And on the edge of the pool, there is a stick full of green rust. Feng Lao Nong lifted it vigorously with his gloves, and found that the stick was connected to the bottom of the pool, and by pulling the stick, a large green brick was lifted on the edge of the bottom of the pool. The flashlight shone past, and behind the green bricks was a hole the size of a bowl, and the hole was pitch black.
For a while, we didn't understand what these pools were for. I looked around and saw that there were sticks like this on the edge of each pool. I went up and looked at it and asked, "Can this thing be sold for money?" "
Yang Kexing said on the side: "It's so rusty that it can't be formed, there is no inscription and no pattern, and it can be sold to the tattered."
"Well, smash and sell it," I laughed.
Feng Lao Nong was silent on the side. I thought about it for a long time before saying, "Let's go look at something else," and then we checked the pools one by one. As a result, the other pools are the same as the first one. Except for the black stuff at the bottom of the pool, which looked like dirt, there was nothing else.
Before I knew it, I came to the center of the tomb, and then I found that there was a well platform in the middle of the tomb. Why is it a well platform? That's because we saw that in the middle of the place, a round platform was made of blue bricks, because inside the round platform was a big black hole. It's like the wells that rural people used to drink.
Feng Laonong took a flashlight and found that the well was bottomless, at least not within the irradiation range of our flashlight. The walls of the well are also made of green bricks, and strangely enough, there are no ropes around to draw water or anything. Feng Laonong shouted down at the wellhead, but there was no response.
We were about to walk to the other end of the chamber when there seemed to be a sound at the bottom of the well. I stopped and looked back. Feng Lao Nong asked, "Didn't leave yesterday?" Do you want to go down the well and have a look? "I thought I'd go to you old peasant! I'll go down and take a look. You didn't say yesterday that you should go down and take a look.
I cursed in my heart, and then said, "I seem to hear a sound in the well." "
"Ring your head, I didn't hear it yesterday?" Feng Laonong said, "Did you two hear that? "
Both Wu Feifei and Yang said they hadn't heard anything. The old farmer said that I was nervous and excited. Ha ha. Tell me to ignore it, and hurry forward to find the way to find the brightener. As I walked, I thought that I had misheard, or maybe it was their footsteps. I heard it as if there was movement in the well.
Walked all the way around the bend to inspect each pool, but found nothing, nothing of value.
After a while, I came to the innermost part of the tomb, and I saw the smooth walls, reflected by the light of the flashlight, revealing that dark red light. At the end of this burial chamber, Feng Laonong found something.
It's a mural painted with white paint on that dark red wall. All four of us shone flashlights at the same time. Although most of the white pigment has fallen off, it can still be seen. What a scene is depicted in this painting?
The one on the far left depicts a bunch of circular objects stacked on top of each other. The second is a monster with a snake head and a human body, picking up these round objects and standing on the edge of the pool. These round objects were then placed at the bottom of the pool. Then the smuggler-headed monster carried a vat in his hand and poured the contents of the vat into the pool. Immediately afterward, the snake-headed human monster looked down at the contents of the pool, and at this time the round things were gone, and a bunch of snake-like symbols appeared. In the back, the snake head is standing on the edge of the pool holding a stick, and the symbol of the pile of snakes in the pool has become one, but it is much larger. The last one shows the stick being lifted by the snakehead, and the serpent symbol is only half in the pool, while the other half is hidden at the bottom of the pool.
Feng Lao Nong thought for a moment and said to us, "Do you see anything from the mural?" "
I said, "I guess I drew the secret of this burial chamber."
Yang Kexing said: "These pools seem to be for raising snakes, and the keeper is still a monster with a snake head and a human body!" "
Feng Laonong nodded: "The son can be taught, it seems to be like this." But that's too mysterious. How can there be a monster with a snake head and a human body? "
"This may also be a totem, in ancient times, the tribal race believed in a certain animal, believing that this animal was their ancestor and would bring them good luck," Yang said. They will put the image of this animal on the human body to show the strength of their race."
Feng Laonong nodded and didn't say anything more. Then arrange for everyone to retreat. There's nothing of value in this burial chamber, we're heading to the L10 fork.
