Wilderness Palace Chapter 24 The Gate of Life and Death
After resting for a while, I saw that the two of them had almost eased up, and it seemed that there was no poisonous smoke and gas in the tomb, so I simply put the gas mask into the mouse suit, without the restraint of the gas mask, I felt that my face was a lot easier, and my breathing was smoother more, and I called up Mazi and Harbara, who were sitting on the ground, and prepared to go inside again, to see if I could go to the main tomb and find the coffin of the tomb owner.

We have been walking in this tomb for a long time, and it is estimated that we should be about to come to the end, and sure enough, we walked less than twenty or thirty meters from the place where we stopped just now, and Mazi who was walking in front suddenly stopped, I thought he was tired again, and asked him from behind: "What's the matter, Mazi, just finished resting, and can't walk anymore?" ”
Mazi stretched out his arm, pointed to the front and said, "Lao Xu, why is there a fork in front of this?" This tomb is also divided into front and back doors? ”
He was too big, the distance was close just now, and most of the vision in front of him was blocked by him, and when he said this, I turned my head around, only to see that there were really two forks in the tomb road in front of me, and the two forks were the same size and shape, as if carved out of a mold.
There is only a stone wall less than half a meter wide between the two forks, the stone wall is standing in the middle of the tomb road, the tomb road is divided into two, only two forks are formed, and these two forks lead to two holes, from the outside, the inside of the two holes are black rumbling, if you don't go in, you really can't see what is inside, but it seems that there is something wrong with rushing in.
Mazi's eyes were sharp, and when I hesitated, he suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, there are fucking words engraved on this hole!" ”
I shone my flashlight on the eaves of the two openings, and each of them was indeed engraved with a basin-sized word, and it was quite clear, but my attention was all focused on the two openings, and I didn't notice these two words.
The two characters at the top of the cave entrance are not only clear, but also vigorously depicted, which is not something that ordinary craftsmen can depict at a glance. The handwriting as a whole can be recessed into the wall two or three centimeters, and the golden dye is poured inside, although it has been a hundred years, the dye has no signs of fading, making people feel that this character is clearly depicted for a short time.
The handwriting is very beautiful, it should also be from the master's handwriting, but it is only depicted in Mongolian, I can only appreciate the appearance but do not understand the meaning, fortunately there is a halbara with him, or I really don't know what to do.
Although Halbara speaks Chinese, after all, the software speaks Mongolians, and he understands the language of his own nationality quite thoroughly, and it is only two simple words, and it is certainly not difficult for him to recognize it. According to him, the word depicted on the left side of the hole is "life", and the word depicted on the right hole is "death", which probably means that the first two holes together form a "door of life and death", and if you go wrong, you will never recover.
Having arrived at this place, I think that if we had entered the right door, we would have reached the main burial chamber a short distance, and perhaps there would be other exits to be found in the main burial chamber, so that we would not have to go back so many unjust ways.
However, the biggest entanglement at this time is not to advance or retreat, retreat, none of us want to, which one is willing to look at the gold and silver treasures at hand and give up, it is impossible! And the most tangled thing at the moment is which door to enter!
Mazi also saw my doubts, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Lao Xu, don't hesitate, close your eyes, let your inner thoughts, which door you think is right, let's go through which door, the big deal is nine deaths and one life, we have all crawled through the corpse valley, there will be no more sinister than the corpse valley here!" ”
Mazi's words greatly inspired me, but also gave me a strong self-confidence, he was right, at this time just can't hesitate, but close your eyes and think, with the initial feeling to choose the right path. It stands to reason that the IQ of the ancients is not much worse than that of today's people, and there will be many ancients whose IQ exceeds that of modern people is not a star and a half, since they can design this door of life and death, it will definitely not be laid out according to common sense, that is to say, life is death, death is also life, and the repetition of life and death has made this world with everything possible, and the current "door of death" should be the road to life.
I opened my eyes and told the two of them what I had just thought, and Mazi praised: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, I think the same way, where can the hired person be so kind, clearly tell us which is life and which is death, there must be a conspiracy here!" You can't go wrong by going through the 'door of death'! ”
Halbara also agitated on the side: "I think we should also go through this 'door of death', isn't there a saying that says, it's called 'put the place of death and then live', we should be considered 'put in the place of death' when we enter this 'door of death', and then we can 'live after life'!" ”
I see that both of them agree with my point of view, so don't delay any longer, without further ado, hurry into the cave, the hesitation just now has consumed a lot of time, and if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Kabuzhi's house before dark.
We looked around again, afraid that some key tools were missing, but fortunately everything was in the big pocket of the mouse suit, and there was nothing scattered on the ground, I saw that the candle in Mazi's hand was about to burn out, so I handed him another piece of white wax, this time before leaving I bought two bundles of white wax, a total of twenty-four, thinking that it would be enough, and the facts seem to be right, and I have just used up two after entering the tomb for so long.
Mazi took the white wax, lit it, and threw the wax head in his hand in the door of death, the quality of the white wax was good, he threw it so hard that he didn't extinguish the candle, and the light of the candle also illuminated some places in the cave.
Since the candle is still burning, it means that the oxygen in it is quite abundant, and there should be no need to worry about suffocation when you go in, for the sake of safety, I took out an extra flashlight, and handed it to Mazi, so that he could hold the candle in one hand to test the air situation, and hold a flashlight in the other hand for lighting, because since the entry in, we have not encountered any danger or traps or other things, I am afraid that there will be something bad in this hole, and more lighting tools can also see more clearly and safer.
The height of this cave is obviously much lower than the outside cemetery, the three of us straightened our waists and could obviously feel the hair rubbing against the dust on it, the width of the cave is also very different, the wide place can be two or three meters wide, and the narrow place can barely squeeze a person, I and Harbara are better, and we can pass through the narrow mouth, but this is bitter pockmark, his upper body is too wide, and it is difficult to pass through the narrow place normally, so he can only move sideways little by little, and it is inevitable that a layer of dirt and ash will be rubbed on the stomach.
Mazi patted the dirt ash that had just been rubbed off his stomach and scolded: "Where the fuck does this look like a well-designed ancient tomb, it's like a natural formation, fortunately, Lao Tzu's belly is not so big, and if it's bigger, it has to be there!" Mazi scolded and turned around and pointed to the narrow mouth that he had just passed by.
I said, "It's still too fat, you see that I and Brother Halbara have nothing to do, you must lose weight when you go home this time, you are destined to be too fat to do what we do!" ”
Mazi was stunned by me, snorted and shut up, and kicked the stone wall near the Shengmen side in a sullen manner, I was just about to scold him not to mess with the things in the tomb, don't be like the last time I kicked the priest's skull but an old Uncle Hu was stupid, I felt that something was wrong, a sizzling sound did not know from which direction, and then looked at the stone wall next to it that had just been kicked by Mazi, and somehow a pile of yellow sand powder stuff flowed down. Before I could get a closer look, a dark insect the size of a beer bottle cap with a hard lid had crawled out of the pile of powder, followed by a rattling sound, and the entire stone wall on the left began to drip powder intermittently.
