Chapter 61: The Temple of Hades

Hades

I used the "wolf's eye" to take a closer look at the stone wall at the end of the cave, and unlike the cave on the left, it was dug up along the stone wall, and it seemed that the people trapped in the cave had chosen the most difficult way to escape from it.

The Fishbone Temple Robbery Cave is in the ravine, inclined downward, stringing over the hills and the natural karst caves in the hills, if you dig a shaft up from the robbery cave to escape, the straight-line distance is the longest, and the amount of work is also the largest, and this mountain is eroded by nature, the mountain is full of holes, it is easy to collapse, and it will not be a last resort, and it will not make this decision.

I looked up and looked up, but only one look, and then completely dead, less than ten meters above, also sealed by the boulder, these big stone slabs that came out of thin air, just like a huge stone coffin, the surrounding area is tightly wrapped, trapped in it is simply no way to the sky, no way to enter the ground.

Seeing that there was no way out, I had to retreat to the fork of the cave and tell the big golden tooth and the fat man about the situation, I and the fat man were in danger for a long time, and although the current situation was weird, we didn't feel too nervous.

Seeing that we were not flustered, the big gold tooth also calmed down, humans are strange animals, panic is the fastest spreading virus in the population, but as long as most people remain calm, it is equivalent to building a firewall to prevent the spread of panic.

Excessive panic will affect the accuracy of judgment, at this time the most afraid is to scare yourself, in my experience, we don't know how the weird stone wall came out, as long as we can find a clue, we can find the exit, will not be trapped here.

The big golden tooth blamed himself and said: "Alas, it's all because I have too much curiosity, I have to come in with the two of you, if I stay on it to let the wind out, it's good that there will be a response outside, and now the three of us are trapped here, how is this good." ”

I comforted him and said: "Master Jin, you don't have to be too nervous, it's not to the point of exhaustion yet, and even if you stay outside, it won't help, the big slate is afraid that it weighs a thousand catties, unless you use explosives, don't think about opening it." ”

Seeing that I was calm, the big golden tooth asked, "Hu Ye is so relaxed, isn't there a way to get out?" You might as well tell us, let me feel at ease, to be honest, I'm so scared that I'm about to pee my pants now, that is, I'm holding on. ”

I laughed self-deprecatingly: "How can there be any fucking plan to get out, let's take one step at a time, if God really wants to take us, we will accept it in the Yellow River, where do we have to wait until now, I think we should not die, we will definitely find a way out." ”

The fat man said, "I'd rather fall into the Yellow River and pour yellow soup than suffocate in a hole like a mouse." ”

I said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "Don't panic, these four robbery holes, three of them have been blocked, and one should lead to the Tang Dynasty tomb in the underworld, in addition, look at the surrounding situation, the captain who built the fishbone temple to steal the hole, must have been trapped after entering the underworld and came back, we haven't seen his bones yet, maybe he has found a way out somewhere else, what is the matter, you have to go into the underworld to see." ”

The fat man and the big gold tooth listened to my words, and said yes together, this thief cave is still a long way to reach the underworld, without further ado, go into the underworld of the ancient tomb to see what is going on.

At the moment, it was still the fat man who led the two geese to hit the head, I and the big gold tooth were behind, and drilled into the thief hole in front of me, I crawled in the hole while scolding in my heart: "Damn, we are unlucky today on this thief hole, I thought it was a few decades ago to touch the gold master out of the way, it must be foolproof, how did I think that there are so many ghosts in such a thief hole, it is too damn big, if you can go out this time, you must have a long memory, and you can't be so reckless anymore." ”

In fact, doing things impulsively, is a major shortcoming in my character, I know it but I can't change it, my character is only suitable for being a junior officer in the army, it is really not suitable to be a captain of the gold school, the ancient tomb is dangerous and abnormal, there are many unimaginable things, almost every place may be dangerous, "cautious" should be the most indispensable bottom line of the gold industry.

It occurred to me that if Shirley Young was here, she wouldn't have let us be so reckless and go into the hole of thieves, but unfortunately she was a rich person, and she would never be able to drill around in the hole like a rat in her life. I don't know how she is doing in the United States now, or whether Professor Chen's mental illness has been cured.

Just as I was thinking nonsense, the fat man shouted in front of me, "Old Hu, this is going through the cave." ”

I heard the sound of dripping water in my ears, and hurriedly crawled to the front, and saw that the fat man had drilled out of the thief hole, and I followed the drill, and swept it with the wolf's eye, and saw that there was a large pile of broken soil at the foothold, which may be the soil that was punched out when the predecessors dug the holes on both sides.

At this time, the big gold tooth also came out, we looked around, and found that this is a narrow cave in the mountain, not a cave, the sound of water droplets along the cave came from a distance, it seems that there is the legendary Longling Cave.

The thief cave passed through the narrow cavern, and stretched at exactly the same angle on the opposite side as before, and the big golden tooth pointed in the direction of the sound of water droplets and said, "Listen, is there a big cave over there?" Why did the man who built the fishbone temple go to such great lengths to dig a hole instead of finding a way out of the cave? ”

I said to the big golden tooth: "The people around here call those caves mazes, and they can't even figure out the direction inside, how can they easily find a way out, but since we haven't seen the body of that senior, maybe he just saw that there was no hope of getting out of the thief cave, so he walked into the maze, if so, it is difficult to say whether he can get out." ”

The fat man said: "No matter what he does, isn't this thief hole still drilled to the end, I think we should go into the Hades Temple first, if there is really no way to consider going from this side." ”

I said, "You're a drunkard, I've never seen you so proactive, you must be thinking of going to the temple to touch the treasures, but you can't figure out what's the use of asking for those treasures if we can't get out." ”

The fat man said: "I look at the problem from a strategic perspective, you think, can you get out, now we don't know, but there is a Ming weapon in the ancient tomb and the underworld, this is a clear thing, let's care if he can go out, first touch the Ming weapon, put it in his pocket, and then find a way to get out, if you can go out, then send it, if you can't get out, you die with a valuable Ming weapon, it's better than dying or being a poor bastard." ”

I waved my hand to interrupt the fat man's words: "Okay, don't say it, I'll summon a lot of your words in one sentence, save some effort and find a way to get out of trouble, okay?" Let's do as you say, go to the Hades Temple. ”

The fat man drove the two big white geese into the hole, and wanted to get in, I hurriedly pulled him down, let him and the big gold tooth wear simple gas masks, and pay attention to the movement of the two geese at any time, the front of a thief hole is connected to the leakage area in the mountain, and there seems to be a cave in the distance, so the air quality is not a problem, but this last section of the robbery hole, is the same as the tomb of the temple, I estimate that there is a road up at the end, from the bottom of the temple to go up, if there is only such an exit in the tomb, then the air retention time will be far more than the time of ventilation, Precautions must be taken.

We put on gas masks, soaked the towels in the kettle with water, and wrapped them around our necks, and the big gold tooth also gave the fat man a jade piece of Guanyin Master, and I gave the big gold tooth a paratrooper knife to defend himself.

After a little preparation, the three of them successively drilled into the second section of the robbery hole, which was extremely short, climbed forward for more than 50 meters, then turned upward, and more than 10 meters, and sure enough, passed through a piece of green bricks.

The green bricks of the Tang tomb have three or four palms of thin and thick, all of them are tomb bricks that pave the bottom, and can be opened with shovels and iron drills, this kind of tomb bricks are laid under the bottom of the Hades Temple, and the rest of the ground and the four walls are all large stones fixed with iron bars, and the gaps are filled with iron slurry to seal them, all of them are impermeable, and only this small piece of place in the middle of the Hades Temple is a slightly weak vacancy.

After the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the form of leaving the "virtual position" Tibetan style has been greatly changed, because this kind of place is easy to break through, but the tradition of leaving the "virtual position" is still retained in the Qing Dynasty, but it has been changed to a very small size, the size is only a few inches, and people cannot enter.

However, on the whole, the solidity of the Tang tomb, and the degree of luxury in Chinese history are still counted, there are several huge stone gates below the Xian Road, deep in the mountains, surrounded by heavy stone walls, that is not impregnable can be described.

On the virtual position of the Tang tomb, there are one or several mechanisms, this kind of mechanism is hidden in the tomb bricks of the underworld, once the empty tomb bricks are broken, the mechanism will be triggered, according to the layout of the Tang tomb, there are quicksand, nests, stone piles and the like, and it is possible to fall the flap, the underworld hall is completely sealed, and it is better to break the void of the Tibetan wind and gather qi, than to cheapen the burial vessel to the tomb robbers.

Before us, this mechanism had already been broken by the first-in-one Captain Touching Gold, so we didn't have to worry about those tricks anymore.

The fat man put two big white geese into the entrance of the thief cave above his head, let them test the air quality in the underworld, we waited in the thief hole, I kept trying to block the stone walls around the thief hole, it was just suddenly in the air, I had never heard of such a powerful mechanism, is it a ghost wall? But the legendary ghost wall is by no means like this, what is strange in this ancient tomb? Who is the owner of the tomb? Did the senior who touched the gold escape?

At this time, the fat man pulled the two big white geese back, saw that there was nothing abnormal, and pulled me a hand, and the three of them came out of the thief hole and came to the Hades Temple, the scale of the Hades Temple of this ancient tomb is really not small, there are two hundred square meters, we use the wolf's eye to illuminate, look around, and can't help but ask: "In the Hades Temple...... Why is there no coffin? ”
