Chapter 3 Lady Picture
Listening to Shi Guangsheng's words with such joy, Li You laughed out loud. The previous tension suddenly disappeared. Mo Liancheng under the ancient tomb was scolding, grabbed Shi Guangsheng's feet, and dragged Shi Guangsheng in a fierce way, and finally dragged Shi Guangsheng in.
After Shi Guangsheng went down, the ground immediately became silent, and the mountains in the dark night were more like an ancient giant beast with a hideous face, opening its bloody mouth, staring at the prey around it.
When the environment quieted down, Li You felt a little uneasy in his heart. Perhaps it was because it was the first time he had done such an illegal act, and the silence between the mountains and wilderness made him vaguely afraid. And it was also at this time that the sound of insects chirping in the mountains and fields gradually subsided, making the atmosphere of the surrounding environment tense and depressed.
Li You took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed, although there were fewer tigers on the mountain, there were many leopards and wild wolves, and it was better to stay outside alone, it was better to get into the ancient tomb safely.
Because he was worried that there was a mechanism in the ancient tomb, Mo Liancheng specially instructed Li You to hit the thief hole on the left, close to the location of the ear chamber. Although Mo Liancheng lacks actual experience in tomb robbing, there are still a lot of theories.
Before entering the thief hole, Li You did not forget to put a gas mask on his face. The ancient tomb has been closed for thousands of years, and there must be a lot of poisonous gas inside, and he doesn't want to throw his life in this barren mountain for no reason. It's just that the face is covered with this thing, but it makes people feel a little breathless, and it's very uncomfortable.
Mo Liancheng was reluctant to use this thing, so he only put two layers of masks on his face and slipped off. And Shi Guangsheng didn't even wear a mask. However, after being kicked hard by Mo Liancheng, he reluctantly put the pig-nosed gas mask on his face, and hummed in his mouth, saying that Mo Liancheng was really making a big fuss. said that when he was an engineer in the army before, he didn't pay so much attention to it.
The miner's lamp overhead glowed brightly, illuminating the tomb. Entering the ancient tomb for the first time, while being nervous, Li You still had a trace of novelty and excitement in his heart. But the novelty and excitement were soon overwhelmed by the decay that permeated the tomb, and the sense of decay revealed by the brick walls of the tomb.
The scale of the ear chamber is not small, it seems to be about twenty square meters, and the corridor that extends out is more than ten meters, from the position where Li You stands, you can vaguely see the right ear chamber at the end. What disappointed him was that the ear chamber was empty, that is to say, the few items that Mo Liancheng sent just now were all the belongings in the ear chamber.
This is unusual. Although it was the first time to "go to the sea", Li You also knew that inside the ancient tomb, the ear room was the place where the burial goods were displayed. For an ancient tomb of this scale, the burial goods in it must be indispensable, and it is impossible to have as few as a few. It can only show that this ancient tomb has been visited by peers a long time ago, and from the perspective of cleanliness, there must be more than a group of tomb robbers who have been to this place, otherwise it would not be so clean.
But in retrospect, it can also explain that tomb robbing has been an industry since ancient times. Although this ancient tomb is in the deep mountains, the Tang tomb probably has a tombstone statue, and the feng shui is obvious, so it is normal for the tomb robbers to target it. And the industry competition is serious, and it has been stolen many times, which is not surprising, and it can only be regarded as the tomb owner's bad luck.
There was a disgusting musty smell coming from the tomb. Although Li You has already put on a gas mask, the goods he bought from the market are obviously inferior goods, and the effect is obviously not obvious.
For some reason, after entering this ancient tomb, Li You had a faint feeling of hair in his heart. And what made him feel even more unbelievable was that in the countless nightmares he had sent before, this scene in front of him seemed to have appeared, but the time of similar dreams was too long, and he was not sure whether the reality and the environment in the dream overlapped, but it was certain that the two were very similar.
With the help of the lights, Li You looked at the surrounding environment, and what caught his eye the most was that there were dark brown scratches on a wall opposite, faintly like blood marks, which were shocking. In addition to these drag marks, there are also many lonely palm prints, seeing these, Li You was secretly frightened.
"Brother Mo." Li You took a breath, pointed to the marks on the brick wall and said, "Someone has been here here, and ...... It seems that what is not going well for them. He said carefully.
Hearing this, Mo Liancheng also stopped, looked at the palm prints on the wall with a frown, looked around again, and then pointed to the thief hole I made and whispered: "I found this problem after I came down just now, the location of your thief hole, there are peers who have already hit the thief hole before." It is estimated that these traces are left by them. There should be a mechanism in this tomb, and the colleagues who came in before should have suffered a lot. Mo Liancheng's voice was still very calm.
While speaking, Mo Liancheng also took out a bunch of bamboo tubes of different lengths from his backpack. After a closer look, I found that there were some ropes connected together in the bamboo tube, and the function was unknown. Seeing Mo Liancheng pull the end of the rope, Li You was surprised to find that the bamboo tubes piled together were actually connected one by one, turning into a long pole about six meters long.
Li You had never seen such a strange thing, and seeing that he was puzzled, Mo Liancheng introduced that this was the "Centipede Festival", which was one of his family's ancestral tomb robbery tools, which was specially used to explore the way in the tomb.
"What centipede festival is, it's clearly a bamboo pole." Shi Guangsheng next to him disagreed, and said with a grin: "It's not as convenient as a bamboo pole." Although he said that, Shi Guangsheng rushed to take the centipede festival, squatted on the ground, and swept the floor vigorously. If there is a trap on the ground, it will inevitably be triggered.
Mo Liancheng handed Li You an iron pestle, and Li You hurriedly held it tightly in his hand. With a guy in hand, I always feel more down-to-earth in my heart. It's just that Li You suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he always felt that something was staring at them in the dark, and a lot of wind was poured into the open thief hole, and the whining sound was made when the air flow was blowing, which added a lot of gloomy atmosphere to the ancient tomb.
Li You looked up and down, left and right, and found nothing. At this time, Shi Guangsheng had already walked out of the ear chamber and walked into the tomb. Mo Liancheng turned on the strong light to light Shi Guangsheng's way, and reminded Shi Guangsheng from time to time to pay attention to the dead corners on the tomb road.
Finding that he was several meters behind the two of them, Li You hurriedly chased after them.
The main tomb passage was much wider than the passage of the ear chamber, at least three meters wide, and the length also shocked Li You a little. Because when the strong light in Mo Liancheng's hand shone into the distance, he didn't even see the end. Of course, this is also related to the environment, mainly Shi Guangsheng used the centipede festival to explore the way, raising the thick dust on the ground, and the long-range ability of the light was seriously disturbed. But despite this, Li You, who was born in civil engineering and architecture, knows that this ancient tomb, which does not look very conspicuous from the outside, has a lot of things inside. Compared with the division of the ancient tomb records in the "Ten Methods of Secret Collection", this ancient tomb is also a princely tomb in the Tang Dynasty.
The front was gray, and it was impossible to see what was there, and Li You paid attention to the walls on both sides of the tomb while figuring out the identity of the owner of the ancient tomb. The walls were gray and moldy. He frowned slightly, feeling a little unreasonable.
It's normal for mold to grow in ancient tombs. As long as the humidity of the air inside is suitable, it is normal for mold to grow in this environment. However, based on Li You's understanding of the geological situation, it is clear that the location of the ancient tomb is very dry, and the groundwater cannot reach this height at all. And the surface water could not penetrate - the thick layer of rammed earth and the still dry charcoal in the interlayer were enough to prove it when the hole was opened.
"Maybe it's because the ancient tomb has been robbed many times and seeped into the surface water." Li You secretly analyzed the possibility of mold appearing on the wall. But if you look closely, it doesn't look like mold. He thought about it, and his curiosity prompted him to scrape the wall lightly with the iron pestle in his hand.
Afterwards, Li You swore in his heart that he just touched it lightly at that time, it was really light, and it didn't have much strength compared to scratching. But the reaction on the wall is similar to what happens when a grenade is thrown on the ice and exploded. The gray walls were first cut through a small opening. Under the small mouth, it has a dull yellow color. However, what Li You didn't expect was what happened next. The gray mold on the entire wall actually showed glass-like cracks, and then quickly peeled off!
"Poof...... ......"The gray mold peeled off, and a dark haze was raised on the tomb road, and the lights immediately dimmed.
"Ahem...... What happened! Mo Liancheng and Shi Guangsheng were taken aback, Mo Liancheng's legs bowed slightly, and he made a posture of being ready to escape at any time. Li You was also taken aback by the sudden vision, and was stunned for a second before stammering: "I, I don't know, I just touched the wall......"
The haze cleared quickly. Before I finished speaking, the haze that had seriously affected my vision had disappeared, and even the dust particles that had been suspended in the air had decreased a lot, and the light in the tomb suddenly brightened a lot!
The peeling gray mold walls also appeared in a scene that I could never have imagined! On the dark yellow wall, a huge half-length figure of a lady appeared in front of the three of them! As if this was not a wall, but a huge scroll of paintings.
The lady on the picture is graceful and generous, dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes, and her clothes are in the wind. The facial features are delicate but seem to be a little detached, with a transcendent charm. It's just that there seems to be a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes, as if there are endless stories in his heart, but no one tells them.
However, the most peculiar thing about the whole picture is that no matter which angle you stand, you can feel that the woman in the picture is pitifully looking at you, charming people's hearts.
