Chapter 244: Another Stone Gate

PS: The starting point of Hua Man Lou's works

Gao Chao was worried, so he looked around, there was still a dark mist around, and he couldn't see the fat man at all, Gao Chao couldn't help but panic, so he wanted to shout at the fat man to see if he agreed.

But just before Gao Chao could shout, suddenly the tomb lit up everywhere, and the three people near the ice coffin couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly looked around.

I saw that on the walls around the tomb, there were suddenly circles of flames, which had burned to the top of the tomb seven or eight meters high in an instant, and there seemed to be a disc on the top of the tomb, the disc was crystal clear, and it was like cold ice, but the disc was suspended from the top of the tomb by chains, and the flames on the stone walls and the top of the tomb seemed to be magnified a lot through the disk. Suddenly, several of them felt a little warm.

And the flames on the walls around the tomb were like a fiery snake wrapped around the walls of the tomb, illuminating the entire tomb, although the humidity was still very heavy, and there was moisture on the walls of the tomb, but the burning flames seemed to be unaffected at all.

Gao Chao was puzzled, and after a closer look, he found that the flames on the stone walls were originally burning in the grooves on the stone walls, and he suddenly remembered the temple on the Gawa Gapu Snow Mountain, and there were similar grooves on the stone walls of the temple at that time, and the grooves were filled with "fire oil", that is, oil, which was accidentally ignited by Jiang Ji at that time, which could not only illuminate but also keep warm. Absolutely ingenious design.

The mist in this tomb is still very thick, but under the light of the flames, it has turned into a flowing cloud, and when you look around, it is like a fairyland.

Just when Gao Chao and the three of them were at a loss, they were suddenly in the clouds and mist in front of them. Unexpectedly, a person came out flutteringly, and saw that the man was on his toes, waving his arms as he walked, and he looked like he was running with joy, and before they could see his appearance clearly, he had already shouted at them at the top of his voice.

"Comrades! What do you think? Brother, have I made a meritorious contribution this time? ”

As the man spoke, he had already come closer, and he was none other than Zhao Fatzi.

I saw the fat man clearly. Gao Chao realized that it seemed that the flames in this tomb were caused by the fat man.

Although the tomb was lit up all at once, so that it was convenient to observe the situation in the tomb, Gao Chao was not happy.

He looked at the fat man's grinning appearance, and suddenly shouted: "Dead fat man! What exactly did you do? ”

The fat man was taken aback by Gao Chao, and he was puzzled, but he also quickly explained: "I didn't do anything." When I finally got through the stone gate just now, I found that some of the grooves in the stone wall were very inconspicuous. When I looked at it, it was the same as what we saw in the temple in the snowy mountain, it was full of fire oil, so I took out a lighter and lit it, isn't that good? What's wrong? ”

The fat man was superbly murdered, and he couldn't help but stare at his eyes and was very aggrieved.

However, Gao Chao said helplessly: "Do you know that this may scare people to death?" Can you be a little more organized? Before you do anything next time. Can you discuss with us, if that thing isn't for lighting, or if it's a mechanism or something, then we'll probably all be in the West now......"

Skillfully gave the fat man an education, but Xia Qing didn't care what they said.

She was already walking towards the back of the ice coffin. Just because there is a stone door on the innermost stone wall of the tomb.

Xia Qing's actions were also seen in the eyes of everyone, Gao Chao then collected his voice, and glared at the fat man a few times angrily, the fat man consciously took care of the loss, and thought about quickly finding a step down, so he hurriedly followed Xia Qing and walked to the depths of the tomb.

The fire in the tomb flickered, and it was already extremely bright, and I saw that the stone door in the deepest part of the tomb really had some characteristics.

This stone door is also hung on it, and there is an opening below it, but it is shorter, almost thirty centimeters high, but this stone gate is a lot bigger, the width is about four meters, and the height is more than three meters.

And what surprised everyone the most was that the river water that was as red as blood actually flowed out of this stone gate, and the water continued to flow so that the entire floor of the tomb was filled with river water.

But what is behind this huge stone gate? Why does the blood-red river flow out continuously? Could it be that the real blood coffin is inside this stone gate?

Many questions arose, but no one could answer, Gao Chao with questions, knelt down on the huge stone door, put his ear to it, and listened carefully to the movement inside the stone gate.

He found that there seemed to be no other sound except for the sound of "banging" water, which couldn't help but make Gao Chao a little helpless, so he had to shake his head at the other three people who were looking at him.

The fat man squatted on the ground at this time, and just finished measuring the height of the opening under the stone door in the water with his hands, he sighed helplessly and said: "It's no fun now, I can't get by, it's only one foot high below, I think it's hard to drill a dog in the past." ”

Gao Chao said: "One foot high? You can't go over it, I should still be able to drill through, come, let me try. ”

As he spoke, Gao Chao actually wanted to drill through this stone gate again.

Seeing this, Xia Qing stopped Gao Chao and said, "Don't go in, because I think that behind this stone gate, it may be the main tomb." ”

Gao Chao squatted on the ground, looked up at Xia Qing and said, "The main tomb? What do you mean......"

Xia Qing said: "The one we are in now is likely to be the 'front tomb', and behind this stone door is the real main tomb." ”

"The former burial chamber?" Gao Chao stood up from the ground and said puzzledly: "Although I am not a corpse toucher, I also know a little about ancient tombs, in addition to the main tomb chamber, there are ear chambers on both sides, or in some anti-theft tombs, there will be fake tombs, but the 'front tomb' you said, I really heard of it for the first time." ”

The fat man also said: "Yes, Xia Qing, what do you mean by this 'former tomb'?" ”

Faced with Gao Chao and the fat man's questions, Xia Qing seemed a little helpless, but she still explained: "The ancient tomb structure you are talking about is only in the Central Plains in general, but in some ancient tombs in the west, it is not applicable. 'anthill tomb', as the name suggests, is that the structure of the ancient tomb is very similar to an anthill, the tombs are connected into a string, some like a string of sugar gourds, and such a string of tombs generally only have three tombs, from the direction of the tomb entrance, in turn called the front burial chamber, the main burial chamber and the rear burial chamber. ”

Gao Chao and the fat man realized that they still knew too little.

The fat man touched his chin, and hurriedly asked, "Xia Qing, what are the tombs in the front tomb in this kind of string of tombs?" ”

Xia Qing said: "The function of the front tomb is somewhat like the ear chamber of the Central Plains tomb, in which more burial goods and sacrificial vessels are placed. ”

When the fat man heard this, he seemed to be relieved, and said, "That's good, that's good, I thought there were no treasures in this former tomb." ”

As he spoke, the fat man turned his head and fixed his eyes on the ice coffin. (To be continued.) )
