Chapter 5: Tomb Robbery Talent (2)
They tore through the bushes at the foot of the mountain, and faintly revealed a stone tablet with no writing on it, and a stone gate mark on the mountain behind it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they kept knocking on the stone door with a shovel, and the sun went down, and at night, the surroundings were suddenly shrouded in darkness, and it didn't matter if they fell on the wide flat ground, the outline of the mountain made people feel oppressive.
After chiseling for a long time, this stone gate was not chiseled, Xiao Liuzi suggested using gunpowder, Young Master Chen said: "That's not good, I don't know what is behind this stone gate, in case the mountain collapses and blocks all the holes, then all the work will be wasted." ”
Everyone was exhausted and ready to take a break before starting work. I lay on the lawn, looking at the sky, at them, at the mountains, bored, not knowing what they were looking for.
I had a trance-like feeling in a daze, feeling like I was an ant, walking on a blank sheet of paper, and I could only walk on this blank paper, what a terrible thing it was. If this mountain is boundless, then it is not enough to die alone.
I actually fell asleep, but when I woke up, I found that there was nothing around, and I could see the stars above my head, but I couldn't see Young Master Chen and Xiao Liuzi. Where did they go? Did you leave me alone? In this way, I didn't want to follow Young Master Chen, so I could go back to my Gao Laozhuang.
Coming to the place where they were standing just now, there were still the footprints of Xiao Liuzi and Young Master Chen, where did they go? Since you can't find them, go back yourself! There is no way to see the other side of the mountain, so you can only go back the way you came. As soon as I turned around, I came across something, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a black coffin. On the top and four sides of the coffin, there is a nine-headed divine bird carved with teeth and claws, which is very scary. This nine-headed sacred bird, also known as the nine-headed phoenix, has a human-faced bird body, a body like a phoenix, gorgeous feathers, nine heads growing on the neck, a huge mouth open, and a sharp mouth.
The expressions of the nine faces of each nine-headed divine bird are different, some hate, some mocking, some smiling, and some staring at people carefully. I felt a little dizzy, so I walked back, walked for a while, and came across a coffin, which was no different from what I had just seen. I thought I was back in the same place, so I walked back, this time I kept an eye on it, and counted the steps as I walked, and when I walked about a hundred steps, I still came across the same coffin as before, and when I looked around, there were dozens of coffins all around, like a maze array.
I found that there was a mountain on the left, a river on the right, and there were coffins in front and back, wondering if I was sleepwalking, and I couldn't go up on the left, and I don't know if there was any kind of black film in the river on the right, and there was no way to go before and after, could it be that this exit was in this coffin?
I walked over to one of the coffins and opened the lid, and there was nothing inside, there wouldn't be any mechanism in it, would it? The coffin was tall, so I had to climb into it, lower my body, and look carefully for an exit. Suddenly, there was a click, and there was a sound overhead. It was suddenly dark in the coffin, and when I looked overhead, it turned out that the coffin board had been covered.
I quickly stood up and tried to open the coffin board, but found that I couldn't push it at all. I shouted a few times, but no one came to save me.
Do you have to spend the night in a coffin tonight? I banged the four walls of the coffin board, making a thumping sound. The next scene made me a little desperate. The coffin board seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and pressed against my head, but I couldn't do anything, so I had to lean over. After a while, the coffin board got lower and lower, and I had to lie flat inside, should I be pressed in it by this coffin board today?
At this rate, it won't take long for it to be crushed into a patty. When the tomb robber opens the coffin, he may say that a pie has fallen from the coffin. When I thought of this, I felt very desperate, and when the coffin board was pressed down, the sound of rubbing against the four walls was like a horn of death, and I listened very uncomfortably.
When the coffin board was only a centimeter away from the tip of my nose, it suddenly stopped, and I wanted to find out if there was any mechanism in the coffin, but there was not much room to move, so I could only move my body slightly, and the air was getting thinner and thinner.
I am reminded of a folk legend that says that the most painful way to die is not to burn to death, not to die of pain, but to be suffocated alive.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, in a small village, there was a custom that if a large family died, another slave would be buried for him. Instead of burying the slave alive, they prepared two coffins, one for the body of the large family and the other for the slave.
Dig a large pit in the ground, bury both coffins in it at the same time, and cover them with earth. In order to prevent some slaves from having a lot of strength, they lifted the coffin board and drove it into the four corners of the coffin with multiple iron nails, no matter how hard the slaves inside used, they could not open it.
The space inside the coffin is very particular, people can move in it, but the range of movement is very limited, the slave can only lie on his back, the coffin board is only one centimeter away from the tip of the nose, and the hand can move slightly, but the coffin board cannot be opened. As the air inside became less and less, it became more and more difficult for the slave to breathe inside, and at this time, he would desperately kick the coffin with his feet and push the coffin board with his hands, but there was really no way, and he used his fingernails to grab the coffin board.
The slave was very uncomfortable, thinking that a long pain was better than a short pain, and wanted to be killed by a headbutt, but the distance between the coffin board and his forehead was limited, and he could not exert force at all. So I thought of other methods, if I want to say that I can bite my tongue and commit suicide, it is just a joke in the mouth of a traditional storyteller, and I can't believe it, if I really bite my tongue and commit suicide, it will only hurt to die alive, and it will take a long time.
Under such circumstances, slaves live in the middle of despair and hope.
Later, some tomb robbers stole the coffin utensils, pulled out the nails, lifted the lid of the coffin, and often saw such a scene: the eyes and mouth of the deceased were wide open, just to absorb more air. Their fingernails were often gone, which had been picked off when they grabbed the coffin boards, and it was impossible to imagine how much pain these slaves endured before they died.
Now it was my turn, and I picked at the coffin with my fingers, like a slave in a coffin with his fingers picking at the planks, it was an instinct to survive, though it wasn't necessarily useful.
Blood began to bubble up between the cracks of his fingernails, but he didn't feel any pain at all, and he felt like a white piece of paper falling from the top of the tower.
Just when I was in despair, I suddenly heard a click, and I began to suspect that it was my own heartbeat, but suddenly a little light appeared in front of me, and it turned out to be a gap in the coffin board. I took a few breaths of air, got out of the coffin, and found myself still on the lawn. The mountain is still the same mountain, the surroundings are silent, there are no people, the stars and the moon are in the sky, and they have shifted a lot to the west, but I don't know where Young Master Chen and Xiao Liuzi went?
I looked at my fingernails, there was still blood, and I was sure I wasn't dreaming. I walked back and forth along the mountain wall, and finally I saw a stone gate that had been hewn open behind the stone monument, and there was a nine-headed divine bird on the tablet. Could it be that this nine-headed divine bird is the ghost? If it's a hallucination, why are my fingernails scarred? Not an illusion, certainly not.
