Chapter 17: The Jade Belt Ghost Wall

Uncle Dao looked at the dark entrance of the cave and said, "Maybe they didn't succeed, we still have a chance." ”

Then he asked each of us to put on our masks, tie ropes, and prepare to go to the grave.

I shone it with a flashlight, the entrance of the cave was about five or six meters away from the bottom of the tomb, and the seventh brother was the first to slide down the rope, followed by Uncle Dao, I wanted to be the third, but the fat bear had to fight with me. I thought to myself that he was fat, so it would be better to help me widen the hole.

When we went down to the burial chamber, we found that it was just an antechamber-like place, not the main burial chamber. In the center, there is a stone statue of about three meters, and if you look closely, it is a general on a war horse. I went up to check the stone tablet standing in front of the stone statue, and saw several columns of books carved on it.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties have always said that the north and the south travel, so I think this mausoleum should have been built by the Southern Dynasties, and the rest of the people also surrounded it at this time.

Seven Brother said to me, "Chengzai, you read a lot, look at what is written on it?" ”

I knew that Brother Qi was lifting me up and deliberately giving me the opportunity to show off, so I couldn't live up to it, so I swept it away line by line with a flashlight.

Although I can also understand a rough idea, but the ancients did not use punctuation, so it still looks a little difficult, after a difficult process of cracking the code, I told everyone that it is written on some similar merit books of chronicles, there is no name on it, but the words "King Ning of Southern Liangning" have been appearing.

I have never heard of who this King of Southern Liang Ning is, but as far as the tablet is concerned, this person seems to have some skills.

I briefly converted the year of the Common Era, which records that in 502 AD, Xiao Yan, the Southern Liang Emperor who came after King Ning, successfully raised troops in Yongzhou and was canonized as the president of Yan Lingwei.

In 507 AD, King Ning relieved the siege of Zhongli City......

In 509 AD, King Ning fought against Xiangping Dao......

In 511 A.D., King Ning guarded Zhennanguan......

In 516 A.D., King Qin of Ning, King Taizhou Mountain......

……

It is also mentioned above that King Ning once followed the Silk Road, sent envoys to various countries in the Western Regions, and used the strategy of distant friendship and close attack to fight against the powerful Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, and was a veritable wise general.

At the end of the inscription, it is written that "Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Southern Liang in the eighteenth year of Tianjian Prison", it seems that this King Ning swallowed his breath in 520 AD.

As soon as I finished speaking, Zheng Tian couldn't wait to take out the DV and start his so-called cultural heritage recording.

At this time, the fat bear walked by him and shook his head: "We're here to find the treasure, not to take a history lesson, so it's better to look around and find a way out." ”

Fat Bear was right, we really need to find our way, the whole hall is empty, except for the stone statue in the center, all that is left is the torches that have long been extinguished on the surrounding walls.

I walked around here and still found nothing, so I asked Uncle puzzled, did we go to the wrong place, why can't we even find a door?

Uncle Dao didn't reply to me, but squeezed in the corner with Brother Qi, facing the wall and didn't know what he was messing with.

At this moment, I saw that the fat bear had climbed on the back of the stone statue, and was struggling to reach for something on the rider's waist, I deliberately shook it with a flashlight, and found that the rider was carrying a jade belt around his waist.

Sure enough, just listening to the sound of "pop", the guy had successfully succeeded, and then I saw him raise the jade belt in his hand and prepare to come down.

Uncle Dao, who was still messing around in the corner, heard the voice, shook the flashlight at us, and asked what happened, and I told him that he was a fat bear, and the guy was greedy for money, so he pulled a jade belt from the stone statue down.

What I didn't expect was that Uncle Dao suddenly seemed to be very nervous after hearing this, waving his hand and shouting loudly: "Not good!" Everybody get down! ”

Almost at the same time, I heard a strange sound around me, like a mechanical gear turning, and then I felt something "whoosh" over my left shoulder.

I hurried to my stomach, and the strange sound grew louder and louder, and soon dozens of arrows flew out from the walls on all sides, and in the panic, I heard the cry of pain from someone.

Damn, could it be that the fat bear ripped off the jade belt just now and accidentally touched some mechanism? This guy is really not a good bird, he is greedy for money and hurts us, and after more than a minute, as the arrows hit the wall and hit the ground, the surrounding voices gradually weakened.

After making sure it was safe, I carefully looked up and stood up, shouting around while shining my flashlight on it.

Then Uncle Zheng Tiandao and the seventh brother responded to me one after another, and then I saw that the father and daughter of the Wei family were far away from Uncle Dao, and they didn't hear what Uncle Dao said too much just now, Wei Xuzhi dodged not very timely, and he suffered a little abrasion on his shoulder, but fortunately, Wei Ying carried a medical kit with him, and he bandaged her father immediately, and it was no big deal.

Uncle Dao picked up the arrow on the ground at this time, and carefully illuminated it with a flashlight: "Fortunately, the arrow was not smeared with poison. Then he asked, "What about Mr. Fat?" ”

I immediately shouted at the stone statue to see if the fat bear was still alive, who knew that the guy looked fat but was quite agile, and the moment the arrow was fired, he had already run under the horse's belly, but his area was the most densely shot with arrows, so he was inevitably injured, and now he was snorting in pain.

I went up to pat him and asked him how he was, and the fat bear pointed to his ass in pain, and I took a flashlight at it, and sure enough, an arrow was stuck there.

Seeing that scene, I wanted to laugh a little, and said mockingly: "Call you greedy, you will be punished, fortunately, Uncle Dao reminded me in time, otherwise we would have finished the game before we went in." As I spoke, I pulled out the arrow for him, and the fat bear cried out.

After calming down, he replied to me very unconvinced: "You know an egg!" Do you really think that I can look down on this kind of goods? ”

"Don't look at it, then what are you pulling that thing for?" I pointed to the jade belt in the fat bear's hand angrily.

The fat bear stood up with difficulty, glanced at me with disdain, and then swept the wall of the hall with a flashlight, limping to a wall, and Uncle Dao and I immediately followed, only to see that in the faint light, the outline of a door faintly appeared on the wall.

"Could it be that the jade belt just now was the mechanism to open the door?" I muttered.

"What shall I do unto you? Feelings are really here to travel. Fat Bear said disdainfully.

It seems that this guy is quite capable, and he can even see this, who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, the seventh brother beside Uncle Dao spoke: "Fat guy, you are too anxious, the first Dao Ye almost took off the dark hole in the wall of the arrow, who knew that you touched the mechanism in advance." ”

It turned out that Uncle Dao had also discovered the mystery of the stone statue early on, but he was not as reckless as the fat bear. I said in my heart that it is also, with Uncle Dao's hawk eyes that have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, how can they be less than a half-hung fat bear?

The fat bear here covered his ass and said angrily: "You guys are not kind, and you won't inform the fat master in advance if you find out." ”

I just wanted to sarcastically mock him, but Wei Ying, who was supporting her father over there, had already spoken first and scolded: "If you weren't reckless with a dead pig's head, my dad wouldn't have been injured." As he spoke, he kicked the fat bear hard.

Uncle Dao was worried that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly stood between the two to mediate, and after the two stopped, Uncle Dao turned around and knocked on the wall that marked the outline of the door and said, "One wall, the opposite side is empty." ”

"Then just smash it open." The fat bear rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try, but he couldn't move because of the arrow wound on his hip, so he retracted and motioned for me and Zheng Tian to get on.

Zheng Tian usually calls others, but now he was shouted by a guy from an unknown source, and he was a little unhappy at the moment, and raised the DV machine in his hand and said: "Those of us who are engaged in artistic creation will not waste time on doing rough work." ”

At this time, Brother Qi came over and signaled that we didn't need to do it, just have him. But as soon as he took out the hammer in his backpack and was about to smash it, he was stopped by Uncle Dao and said, "This is a ghost wall, you can't smash it." ”

I saw the ghost wall that Uncle Dao said in my grandfather's letter, saying that I don't know what strange gas was injected into the heart of the wall, and it was highly toxic after contact with the outside air, even if we wore masks, it didn't help, so smashing the wall down was undoubtedly digging our own grave. However, the color of the ghost wall described by my grandfather was all red, which was different from the one in front of me, so I asked my uncle how he could see it.

Uncle Dao touched the outline lines on the wall and said: "During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sanhe earthen wall was tamped with three materials such as hydrated lime, and there was nothing more than it in the mausoleum, but this small piece in front of me is a hollow brick wall with rare materials, so there must be an article inside." ”

Then Uncle Dao took out a waist knife and carefully cut it along the edge of the contour line, and sure enough, the edges were loose, and it was easy to peel off from the main wall, and Uncle Dao asked Brother Qi to hold the peeled wall on the other side, and slowly rotated the wall in a circle by ninety degrees.

Soon, a dark hole appeared in front of us.

The hall where we used to be could still see the faint sunlight shining through the thief hole overhead, and the corridor behind this door was basically impossible to distinguish between day and night.

I looked at my watch and sighed, "It's six o'clock in the morning, I don't know if I can withdraw before twelve o'clock in the afternoon." ”

The fat bear limped past me, and casually dropped a sentence: "If this thing is short, it will only be a matter of a few minutes, and it is estimated that the long one will have to fall in it for the rest of his life, and then he can only stay with the zongzi inside, if it is a female zongzi, you will worry that your chrysanthemums will not be protected!" ”

As I listened to it, I felt more and more that this fat bear was a dead pervert with a heavy taste, but for the sake of the wound on his ass, it was not too much to take care of him.

At this time, Wei Xuzhi, who was walking behind me, suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said with a little worry: "Wait, what did you just say, it's six o'clock in the morning?" ”

I hummed and asked him what was wrong with six o'clock, was it unlucky to enter the tomb at this hour? Wei Xuzhi suddenly stopped, shouted to stop us, frowned and said: "I am familiar with the comrades of the Forestry Bureau, as far as I know, the working time of the mountain patrol personnel in their bureau should be seven o'clock in the morning, but now it is only six o'clock, why are people coming?" ”

I couldn't help but shudder when I heard this, wasn't the person at the door of the tomb just now from the Forestry Bureau?

Fat Bear was very optimistic, he waved his hand and said: "In case he is a good employee who loves his job and is dedicated, he should really send him a dedication blessing if he gets up early and is greedy for darkness to protect every grass and tree on this mountain!" ”

Wei Xuzhi shook his head: "But the problem is, we have now entered the hinterland of Zanglong Mountain, which is not a tourist route, according to the patrol route of the mountain patrol personnel of the Forestry Bureau, they will not pass through this area until at least the next night, and as far as I know, most of the mountains east of the coffin road are barren mountains, and the mountain patrol people will only come once in a few days, why did they happen to be bumped into by us just now?" ”

At this time, Zheng Tian beside me, in line with the natural quality of media people to attract the audience's attention, has begun to make up suspense stories in front of the camera, saying that the appearance of the mysterious person has laid a dangerous foreshadowing for the troubled future, what kind of pretending to be a mountain patrol officer of the Forestry Bureau, and the place is already dark and clammy and cold, I was worried when I heard it, and hurriedly asked him to shut up.

Uncle Dao told us to stop being suspicious and suspicious, and if we come, we will be safe, and we will go down one road at a time, and we don't have to worry too much.

I nodded, but the sense of foreboding in my heart grew heavier.
