Chapter 18: The Ghost Valley Organ
In the evening, we arrived at the meeting point of the North Mountains, and I kept holding the bag in my hand, I had thought about this day, and I had sketched countless scenes of revenge in my heart, probably living with a gang of tomb robbers for ten years, and there was some gangsterism in my body.
In my fantasy, I ended up going to the meeting alone, holding a knife or sword with my father's killer, standing on the top of a mountain or on the roof, anyway, in a very high place, there was always a surging opening scene, although I never saw the man's face clearly, but in the end I got what I wanted to slash the enemy.
The imagination is full of the taste of martial arts, but I never thought that to this day, I was holding a gun, what I wanted to say when I saw the enemy, but now I can't remember a word, my palms are full of sweat, and I have a very numb thought in my head, and I will shoot when I see someone!
By the time we arrived, seven or eight people who had been in charge of guarding the night before had already arrived, and I looked around the crowd and was a little flustered to find that I hadn't seen the car that night.
"Gold Master...... Why didn't the owner come? "Things are a little different from what I imagined.
"It's not something you have to worry about, take us to the shell tomb, dig it up, follow us into the tomb, find the things inside, and you will naturally see the gold owner." The person standing in front said with a blank face.
"That's not possible, the owner of the money has to show up, how do I know if you will cross the river and tear down the bridge." I didn't even think I'd go digging a grave tonight, my mind was full of revenge.
The seven or eight people didn't pay attention to me at all, but looked at Liu Tian, he smiled dryly, and then turned around and glared at us: "Are there any rules, the palm eye and the gold lord are not there, here is my decision, you can do whatever you want, why is there so much nonsense, I will take you to see the gold master after the matter is done." ”
I glanced at each other with the palace lord and Tian Ji, I didn't expect this change, it seems that the shell tomb must be dug, we took others to the entrance of the shell tomb, Liu Tian deliberately selected more than a dozen tomb robbers, should be experienced veterans, no need for Liu Tian to order, quickly reinforced the soil layer around the entrance, and put down the rope, everything was ready in less than an hour, all the processes were silent but orderly.
The three people who went down first were in charge of exploring the tomb, and soon returned to the cave and said to the top that there was a huge stone tomb door in front of the tomb, which was closed tightly and could not be opened, so that the explosives could be sent down from above.
"This shell tomb is full of stones, and the grave pit is dug out first and then filled with shell soil, there are no pillars around the tomb, and you dare to use explosives?" I was taken aback when I heard this, and crouched at the mouth of the cave and said loudly. "What's more, the tomb door is a few tons, even if you can blow it open, the tomb will collapse immediately."
The tomb robbers below looked at Liu Tian next to me, how to dig the tomb is up to the legs, I didn't want to interfere, but in case this tomb is destroyed in the hands of these people, I don't care about what Sui Hou Zhu is now, I just worry that I will never have the chance to see the gold lord again.
"Go down a few more people, bring tools and make a hole directly in the tomb door." Liu Tianneng is estimated to have some ability to be a leg, and the people he brought are obedient to him.
Although the tomb door is strong, if it is a veteran, at most one night can open a hole in it, it seems that you can only wait on it tonight, who knows that just sat on the ground, suddenly heard the screams from under the hole, everyone was shocked, gathered around the entrance of the cave, Liu Tian shouted loudly on the top of the people, there was no reaction for a long time.
The remaining dozen or so tomb robbers above looked at each other, Liu Tian's face sank, and then let the three of them go down, and it didn't take long for us to see the first five people to go down at the entrance of the cave being helped out.
Pulled up from the hole, five men were covered in blood, two of them had lost their breath, and the other three were also dying, their bodies shot like hedgehogs by rusty arrows.
"The tomb door has a mechanism to prevent theft." Gong Jue squatted beside those people, pulled out an arrow and looked at it for a long time. "This is a crossbow arrow, judging from the wound, it is shot at close range, this ancient tomb is not to mention thousands of years, and the mechanism can still be used."
"Can you open it?" I asked.
The palace lord nodded.
If you want to see the gold owner, you must dig up this shell tomb, and the people brought by Liu Tian should be good at robbing the tomb, but when it comes to the mechanism, I'm afraid it's not these people who can solve it, not to mention that two people have already died in this kung fu, and Liu Tian and other tomb robbers don't dare to act rashly.
"Let's go down, open the tomb door, and then let your people come down." I said to Liu Tian while tying the rope.
When I went down to the tomb, I saw that there were all traces of blood all the way, although the field chicken was hard, but all he did was digging the grave, and it was the first time he really went down to the tomb, and I don't know when he took out the gun he brought.
"What are you doing with this?" The palace lord asked in surprise.
"Who knows what's down there, there's a guy in his hand and a solid heart." The field chicken is completely instinctive.
"What else can be in the tomb, of course the dead, it's been thousands of years, and the bones have turned to ashes." I gave him a disdainful look. "You are not afraid of heaven and earth, you dare to fight and kill the enemy, why did you become so cowardly here."
"One yard to one yard, of course I'm not afraid of the living, just run into the pit where the dead sleep, you think, the living have noses and eyes, what they look like, I still have the bottom in my heart, I don't know what this buried person will become." Tian Ji twisted his body a little unnaturally. "Just thinking about it makes me panic."
"Look at your appearance, I grew up eating dead people's food when I was a child, my father carried coffins for people, if it weren't for the many people who died that year, I guess I would have starved to death." I smiled dismissively. "I feel that the dead are better than the living, and dying is like sleeping, and it doesn't bother you to be pure, it's just ...... The color is not too good-looking, the person who just died is blue, at first glance it looks like a frog with human skin, and after five or six days, it will slowly turn white, as if it has been smeared with flour, and the meat on the body is inelastic, all attached to the bones, similar to air-dried bacon, and it will begin to turn yellow after a little longer......"
"You're enough." The chicken's throat squirmed and interrupted me.
Seeing Tian Ji's upset appearance, I wanted to laugh happily, and looked up to see that the palace lord, who had not spoken, was already standing in front of the tomb gate, staring at it without saying a word.
I walked over with Tian Ji, the huge stone tomb door has rough lines of cockroach patterns, there is a relief of gluttonous animal heads on the left and right sides, the whole tomb door is dignified and majestic, the ornamentation is gorgeous and deep, revealing the beauty of the caracal calendar in the Warring States Period.
A single tomb door is so majestic and exquisite, it is difficult to imagine how gorgeous the tomb door should be, the palace lord pointed to the lines on the tomb door to tell us that the biggest feature of the cockroach pattern is that it is coiled and ambushed, and these lines are irregularly distributed hollow holes, and those suddenly launched crossbow arrows are shot from these holes.
At such a close distance, if you touch the mechanism, the flying crossbow arrows will be like a rainstorm pear blossom that will catch people off guard.
Gong Jue told us not to touch any part of the tomb door, he told me Hetian Ji, the mechanism used in this tomb door should be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mozi's crossbow technique, this is a long time ago mechanism, now lost, but the ingenuity is quite exquisite.
The mechanism in the tomb door is triggered by vibration, and all the crossbows set in the tomb door are still extremely sensitive, and any slight vibration to the tomb door will trigger the mechanism.
Gong Jue carefully put his ear to the tomb door, in order not to disturb him, Tian Ji and I almost held our breath, and when Gong Jue raised his head, I nodded to me confidently.
He slowly placed his hands on the two gluttonous beast heads at the same time, and while twisting them slightly, he told us that the ingenuity of this tomb door mechanism was that there was a device that could transmit and enhance sound, and all the crossbows were connected to this device, and the whole body was moved.
Click!
As soon as the palace lord finished speaking, we heard a low echo from the tomb door, and the palace lord's hand was released from the beast's head, and the tomb door magically opened in front of us.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew from within, blowing a disgusting stench in our faces, instantly blowing out the torches in our hands, and the whole burial chamber was instantly plunged into darkness.
The fishy wind whistled in my ears like a ghost crying wolf, and I licked my lips in the darkness, and then I heard the sound of a chicken pulling the bolt of a gun next to me.
