Chapter Ninety-Four: Don't Go Back
In order to save the power of the flashlight, we replaced it with torches, Uncle Li and Lao Hai each held a bunch, not to mention, the brightness of the torches was much greater than the flashlight, and half of the tomb was illuminated in an instant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the previous flashlight had high penetration, the visual range was relatively small, and it could not be well observed when encountering a large area of objects.
The men were motionless against the wall, and seemed to be very afraid of us, so we didn't dare to stop for a moment, picked up the equipment that had fallen on the ground, and squeezed into the crack in the door one by one.
The space behind the door was very small, and in front of it was a straight and inclined passageway, not wide, but allowing several people to walk side by side, flanked by a stone wall with strange symbols carved into it.
Some of these symbols are extremely complex, with a structure similar to Chinese characters, but they cannot be deciphered in Chinese; Some are very simple, so simple that there are only a few strokes, but they give people a sense of sacred majesty.
Looking at these symbols, the fawn suddenly stopped and said to me thoughtfully: "Little shy, do you think you have seen it anywhere?" โ
When he asked me this, I really felt a little familiar, so I studied it carefully, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and I hurriedly pulled him and said, "I remember, these are a bit like the symbols I saw on the four-eyed table!" It's one of the symbols on the parchment drawing! As I spoke, I pointed to a few of them with relatively simple structures, and the fawn suddenly clapped his hands excitedly and said yes.
The Seventh Master was shocked when he saw us, and said: "These are the ๅฐ (bรณ) script, also known as the ancient white script, which is the special text of the ancient kingdom - Nanzhao, these words were not recorded in any historical records at first, and with the continuous excavation of the remnants of the characters engraved with the Yu script, we gradually learned about the mysterious ancient Nanzhao." โ
Lao Hai asked curiously what Nanzhao was, and the Seventh Master continued: "Nanzhao is an ancient kingdom that rose on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the eighth century, and was established by Pi Luoge, the leader of the Mengshe tribe, in the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were many small countries in the Erhai region, which did not serve each other, among which there were six small countries with strong strength, which were led by six kings, and were called the six edicts, namely: Mengshan Edict, Yue Xi Edict, Langqiong Edict, Xuan Zhi Edict, Shi Lang Edict, and Mengshe Edict. The Mengshe edict is in the south of the edicts, and it is called the 'Nanzhao'. With the support of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao successively conquered the Xi'er River region, destroyed the other five edicts, and unified the Erhai region. It's just that Nanzhao didn't exist for a long time, and at the beginning of the thirteenth generation of Wang Shunhuazhen's accession to the throne, he was destroyed by the Han minister Zheng Maihei. โ
The seventh master talked about this in an orderly manner, very much like the history teacher in my previous school, and I felt a little boring when I heard it, and I said that this thing is my business, so I asked impatiently: "Is this Tiannu's tomb the monarch's tomb of a certain generation of kings in Nanzhao?" โ
"Definitely! Judging from these written records, this is only the tomb of a nobleman at that time, and the real monarchs are hereditary burials, and they have special imperial tombs. "The seventh master said.
Lao Hai took a closer look with a torch, and said with a tooth and a smile: "Yo, the seventh master is knowledgeable, I can only stare at these ghost talismans, but you have read it word for word, it seems that there is deep research!" โ
The seventh master smiled awkwardly, saying that he just likes these things on weekdays, as a pastime after tea and dinner.
Looking at the swaying fire on the stone slab, a strange feeling swelled in my heart, and I stabbed the fawn from behind, and said, "Four Eyes must not have been here, otherwise how would he know about these words?" โ
Xiaolu shook his head and said that he didn't know, but at least he was sure that Four Eyes and Lu Jie knew some very important things, and if he showed the sheepskin drawings to the Seventh Master, maybe he could see the clues.
"What's going on here?"
The Seventh Master squinted his eyes and looked at it, and scratched his head for a while before he scratched his head and said: "It only records the life deeds of this nobleman, and each column tells one thing, but this is not helpful to us in the slightest." โ
Lao Hai grinned and said: "It's been a long time, and if you dare to be in love, you're a narcissist, you have played so many small compositions, and it's useless to fart, and it's really a bit condescending not to write novels!" โ
I gave him a blank look and scolded him for having no brains, how could there be such a thing as a novel back then, and even if there was, there was no market.
When Lao Hai heard this, he looked a little aggrieved, and said unhappily: "I'm not just joking, what about you?" Besides, why don't you have any humor cells at all, and the fawn knows more about humor than you. โ
I didn't pay attention to him for a while, I looked at the words on the slate, I don't know why, I had a feeling that I couldn't say anything about these words, just like the first time I saw the pattern on the school card, it was the same as when I saw the pattern on the school card, it seemed familiar but extremely unfamiliar.
Walking along the stone slab, the passage slopes all the way, and judging from the current depth, the main burial chamber is eighty percent open to the bottom of the mountain.
In fact, the depth of the tomb does not matter to us, I am just worried about how to get out in the future, if the tomb is dug in the edge of the mountain, it is better to say, you can drill out directly by making a robbery hole, but if it is opened in the middle of the mountain, it is not easy to get out.
The words on the slate continued, the seventh master said that it has always been a lengthy life account, from birth to death, he was a little impatient to see it, I guess this aristocratic boss's nonsense is definitely no less than that of the seventh master, I dare to guarantee that he must have been a talker during his lifetime.
As we walked, we suddenly found that the stone slab had reached the end, and further on was the flat tomb road, and there was a gust of yin wind blowing in the depths of the dark and secluded tomb road, and the humidity of the wind was very heavy, and it felt very cold on my body, and I unconsciously tightened my coat and leaned against the torch to keep warm.
In the last column of the slate, several large characters are engraved, these characters are not only a few sizes larger than the previous ones, but also painted in the nicks with cinnabar ink, and the eyes are extremely bright, as if to emphasize something.
We hurriedly asked the seventh master what he meant, but we saw that his face suddenly changed, and then there was a cool voice, only to hear him whisper: "Don't go back, life and death are up to people!" โ
I was stunned for a moment, and asked what it meant, Lao Hai stood next to me and patted me on the head, and said, "Stupid, I know that this means let's not go back, otherwise I don't know how to die!" โ
Everyone listened to it, all showed surprised expressions, this sentence is equivalent to a warning, or it may be to cut off our back road, but it is too unkind to write it at the end, after all, it has traveled such a long distance, if you want to go back, the ghost knows what will happen in the stone passage, if you write this sentence at the beginning, we still have room to turn back.
Lao Hai shook his head and said, "Back to his uncle's head, we have to move forward anyway, what are you afraid of!" โ
Come to think of it, as long as we don't go back, it's fine, and besides, our original purpose is to go in, so there's no need to go back.
So a group of people dared to go inside, but what we never expected was that just a few steps, we heard a sudden "snap" sound behind us, we hurriedly subconsciously turned our heads to look, only to see that there was suddenly a bluestone slab behind us, blocking the road we came to death.
Immediately after that, there was another sound, and there was one more piece not far in front of us, two bluestone slabs trapped us in the tombway, forming a completely enclosed space!
