Chapter 115: Thrilling
Village Chief Yao's words made me can't help but roll my eyes, talking nonsense that we are actually the people welcomed by the owner of the tomb.
You have seen the owner of the tomb welcome others to disturb him in his own tomb, not to mention a few tomb robbers among us.
I don't have the slightest affection for Village Chief Yao, and even now, this old guy is hiding many secrets that we don't know.
If it weren't for the search for Lu Cheng, I wouldn't want to go to the main tomb to take a look, even if there was a corpse wheel blood tree that was unique in the world, it would not be more important than my own life.
After the eight paper figures carried the red coffin to the edge of the cliff, they all turned around collectively, as if everything was a set action, without the slightest drag on the mud and water.
I suddenly thought that there should be no paper in the Qin Dynasty, after all, papermaking had not been invented at that time, especially the delicate white paper used to paste these paper figures, the level of craftsmanship can be called first-class, and many dynasties cannot make it.
"Village Chief Yao, I have a question I want you to answer." Thinking like this in my heart, I asked Village Chief Yao quietly.
Village Chief Yao was still in extreme excitement, and when he heard my words, he finally restrained a little, nodded and replied, "You say." ”
"As we all know, papermaking should have been invented and improved by Cai Lun in the Western Han Dynasty, and there were no paper supplies in the Qin Dynasty, even if the official documents were passed on with bamboo slips. So these eight paper figures carrying the coffin should not have been there when the owner of the tomb was buried, right? I thought about it for a moment and said slowly.
"Not really." To my surprise, after hearing my question, Village Chief Yao immediately said without the slightest hesitation:
"When the general was buried, bronze men were used, but over the years it has been damaged a lot due to rust, and several of the bronze men's arms have all been broken, and there is no way to continue to carry the coffin. Later, during the Republic of China, my great-grandfather invited a Maoshan master, and this is what you see now. ”
"I see." I nodded.
Maybe in the eyes of Village Chief Yao, the origin of these coffin bearers is not a secret, so they will tell us completely.
But it's relieved to think about it, with such a large ancient tomb, how could the owner of the tomb use something like a paper figure to carry the coffin, it would be too low-grade, and it would make sense in the words of the bronze man.
"Brother Yao, what do you mean by the red coffin crossing people you just mentioned, should it mean that we all enter this red coffin and let these paper people carry them to the opposite side?" At this time, Liu Laoqi stood up again and asked Village Chief Yao.
"That's it." Village Chief Yao nodded and said.
"This ......" Liu Laoqi was speechless, and was carried by the paper man across this fifteen-meter-wide deep stream, no matter how he heard it, he felt unreliable.
Even if all of us saw these paper figures carrying the red coffin with our own eyes just now, no one thought that this matter was a good thing.
After all, when the paper figure carried the coffin, we were just bystanders, and if we really wanted to participate in it, we would not be able to do it without a little guts.
"What if I fall and die?" Xiao Yue asked on the side.
I secretly scolded Xiao Yue in my heart for being a crow's mouth, how can I say this kind of thing, although I also want to say these things.
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, the faces of the others couldn't help but be a little ugly, the shaking amplitude of the copper rope single-plank bridge was really a little scary, and no one dared to guarantee that it would really be foolproof.
"I don't know, there are only three groups of people who have been able to come here throughout the ages, you are the fourth group, and as far as I know, there have been no accidents in the first three groups." Village Chief Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Can I understand that way, and you're not sure if there will be an accident?" I said.
"I can't." Village Chief Yao said.
At this time, everyone was speechless, originally thought that it would be a good thing to encounter a paper man carrying a coffin, but he didn't expect that there would be such a danger.
Everyone is an ordinary person with flesh and blood, and if they fall off the copper rope single-plank bridge, they don't have to think about it, they must be broken bones, and there is no possibility of survival at all.
"Brother Yao, is there no other way?" Liu Laoqi asked.
"What can be done, we discussed it for a long time earlier, and in the end we didn't come up with a solution." Village Chief Yao said, then glanced at the Yang family brothers and sisters again, and then said: "If you all have the skills of them, then my old man didn't say anything." ”
What Village Chief Yao said, except for the Yang family brothers and sisters, all of them lost their temper in an instant, if we all had the skills of the Yang family brothers and sisters, we would have arrived on the other side a long time ago, and maybe we would have entered the main tomb long ago.
"Village Chief Yao, I also have a question I want to ask, this paper figure should be the first time to carry the coffin, right?" Li Huiyan suddenly asked.
"It's the first time, and the three times in the past the coffin were all bronze people, but the bronze people have all been broken, and now they can only use this." Village Chief Yao nodded.
"Brother Three, if you think it's inappropriate, our brother and sister will carry you over, and there shouldn't be any problem if you are careful. As for the others, ask for more blessings. Seeing that we were all in trouble, Yang Baichuan spoke.
"This can't be done, it's so dangerous for you to cross the bridge alone just now, if you carry another person, it will definitely cause problems." Hearing this, I refused even if I didn't want to.
I don't say such things because of how great I am, although I have a lot of trust in the skills of the Yang family brothers and sisters, but the current situation cannot be judged by common sense.
No matter how powerful the brothers and sisters of the Yang family are, they can't do much when they get to the Tongsuo single-plank bridge, and if they carry us on their backs, they may drag them down and have accidents.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, old man, you can decide for yourself whether you go up or not." Village Chief Yao seemed to be a little impatient and said.
After saying that, he began to climb on top of the red coffin.
Although the village chief Yao was old, he didn't seem to have any effort when he climbed up the red coffin that was more than one person high, but he had already climbed up in a few moments, and finally jumped into the red coffin and disappeared.
Seeing this, Liu Laoqi stood in place and hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and followed Village Chief Yao to crawl into the red coffin, followed by the two tomb robbers under Liu Laoqi.
In the blink of an eye, only the four of us and the Yang family brothers and sisters were left in the field.
Glancing at the red coffin that was close at hand, Yang Baichuan spoke again: "Brother Three, if you don't think about it again, you just happen to be two men, two women, and four people, and our brother and sister will carry you back and forth twice." ”
"We appreciate your kindness, it's too dangerous to carry us across the bridge, and we can't bother you." I said to Yang Baichuan.
"yes, compared to these paper people and these coffins, I think you are more unreliable." Xiao Yue pouted and said.
It can be seen that she thinks the same as me, and she doesn't want to bother the Yang brothers and sisters, but she refuses to say anything like that.
"Well, I also don't think it's good for you to be affected by this, since Village Chief Yao is so confident in carrying the coffin of the paper figure, there will be no problem in thinking about it." Li Huiyan also said.
"Okay then." Seeing that several of us said this, Yang Baichuan finally nodded helplessly, and no longer forced anything.
A moment later, Li Huiyan, Xiao Yue and Lu Cheng and I also entered the red coffin.
The red coffin was empty, also painted with red lacquer, and painted with gold lacquer with some simple patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects.
By the time the four of us came in, Village Chief Yao and Liu Laoqi had already sat at one end of the red coffin, and when we saw this, we all sat down cross-legged.
The space inside the coffin was much larger than I had imagined, and it didn't look crowded at all when there were eight people sitting cross-legged, but there was still a little space left.
"Brother Baichuan, why don't you come in too, there is still a place here." I raised my head and shouted to the Yang brothers and sisters who were still outside the red coffin.
"No need, our brother and sister should go over by ourselves." Yang Baichuan replied.
Seeing that the two of them had made up their minds, I didn't say anything more.
At this moment, I felt the red coffin flicker slightly, and then I had a feeling of rising upward.
After most of us had entered the red coffin, the paper figures finally began to move and lifted the red coffin.
"Sister Lizi, I'm a little scared." The sudden movement from the red coffin startled Xiao Yue, and grabbed Li Huiyan's arm and said.
"It's okay, if you're scared, close your eyes, and it'll be over in a while." Li Huiyan comforted.
The red coffin began to shake slightly, thinking that the paper figures had already walked on the copper rope single-plank bridge.
At the same time, the sound of whirring wind began to sound above the coffin, and the red coffin began to shake violently.
The wind blowing in the deep stream made the copper rope single-plank bridge shake violently, and even we suffered together, at first I didn't feel anything when I saw Yang Baichuan walking on the bridge, but I just felt a little frightened.
It wasn't until now that I experienced the horror of the shaking of the copper rope single-plank bridge, and I realized that my previous thoughts were still too simple, walking on such a violently shaking bridge was simply playing with my life, that is, the perverted skills of the Yang family brothers and sisters can afford to play.
As the red coffin shook more and more, all of us sitting in the red coffin began to be a little unable to sit still, leaning forward and leaning back for a while, staggering so much that even our hearts were about to pop out.
A trace of cold sweat was already oozing from my back, and my back was as close to the red coffin as possible so that my body would not shake so much.
Under us is a red coffin, below which are eight paper figures, and under the feet of the paper figures are cold bronze chains, and below the chains is a bottomless abyss.
At this moment, our lives are in the hands of the eight paper figures carrying the coffin, if any of the paper figures are unstable, it will cause a series of chain reactions, and everyone may fall into the deep stream with the red coffin.
The wind outside the red coffin was getting louder and louder, and it was shaking more and more, this situation was like a pirate ship in a playground, and someone like Xiao Yue who was not brave enough had already let out bursts of screams.
"Everyone be careful, don't be thrown out of the coffin." Li Huiyan's face was a little pale and reminded us.
No one spoke, and in this case, everyone was already out of the sky, and it was extremely difficult to breathe, let alone speak.
Just a moment after Li Huiyan reminded her, an accident suddenly came.
When the red coffin swayed, the body of the unknown tomb robber under Liu Laoqi failed to fit the red coffin and was thrown directly out of the red coffin.
Yes......
Listening to the screams that changed from big to small, everyone's faces instantly turned pale.
When the accident happened just now, Liu Laoqi was on the side of the tomb robber, and finally watched him being thrown out of the coffin by the violently shaking red coffin.
From beginning to end, Liu Laoqi didn't stretch out his hand to pull him. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
