Chapter 34: The Dried Corpse
Ye Simin said: "Since you're here, let's go in and have a look." As for how many layers of hell there are, just look at it. ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, um, I deduce that the Mayan Hell has five layers. ”
"Oh?" Gao Yanan looked at me with surprised eyes and asked, "Why?" Zhang Qiang also looked at me in surprise, waiting for my answer with a look of anticipation. Everyone looked at me with fiery eyes.
I smiled wryly and said, "Don't expect too much from me, I haven't been in it either." But that's the case, when we entered the ancient ruins of Mount Tai the year before last, we just went to the underground palace for that pyramid, right? But in the upper part of the pyramid, our roots did not go in. Just a very big mistake. I still remember it when I think about it. Lu Liang also said: "Yes, why did you forget it back then." "The comrades-in-arms who entered the pyramid of Mount Tai back then, Leng Feng, Lu Liang and Li Meiting, the rest of us don't know. Seeing their puzzled looks, Lu Liang told them about it. After this time, I actually talked for more than two hours.
Wang Zongjun said in surprise: "Boss, it turns out that you and Qin Tai know each other like this?" So you can all be friends? Hehe, if it weren't for what you said, I wouldn't believe it. ”
Gao Yanan also said in surprise: "So that's the case, no wonder Ji Hongming insisted on retiring, so I took his job." It turned out that he was too scared to enter the ancient tomb. That's why I chose to escape. If you hadn't said these things, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what was going on until I asked. ”
I smiled and said: "The pyramids I saw when I was in the ancient ruins of Mount Tai were not as high as they are now, and the underground palace at that time had seven floors. We didn't go in all of it, and it was partially destroyed by Ye Xiangtian. The pyramid of the Mayans is five-tiered, and the pyramid of the goddess of the moon is also five-tiered, only a little shorter than that of the sun god. If you find this calculation, the Mayan underground palace should also be five floors, most of which are symmetrical with the unsealed ones on the ground. As for the pyramid of Mount Tai Ancient Ruins, because Ye Xiangtian has renovated it, I am not sure if it is the original appearance of the Mayan underground palace. ”
Everyone nodded, and Lu Liang said, "Boss, this inference of yours may be right, I can't find a reason to refute it." The crowd also hurriedly agreed. Lu Liang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, everyone just follow me." As for the ambush of the agency, our group of people hurriedly said that it was second, and no one dared to call it first. ”
We all know the news of the organs in the mausoleum where Lu Liang majored in archaeology, so we can follow him with confidence, and we are really inferior to him in this aspect. "Be careful, let's take our time, this kind of thing can't be rushed." Lu Liang suppressed the speed of progress in front of him, and said softly: "No mausoleum has its own unique style, and this kind of Mayan underground palace is the first time I have come into contact with it, so I don't know what is very clear." However, when we were in school in the past, a few of us had also deduced that the Mayans were in ambush. At that time, Wang Wei boldly assumed one thing. ”
"Wang Wei?" We were surprised and said, "Oh no, Wang Wei is still in Billy's hands, if Wang Wei's kung fu is great, won't everything fall into Billy's hands?" ”
Lu Liang was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Let's go quickly, if it is really Wang Wei who has come, there is no need to worry about there is a mechanism here." Wang Wei's skills are on par with me, and I believe he can disarm most of the traps. ”
When he came to the first floor, Lu Liang took the flashlight and turned around and said, "Wang Wei has been here." Look, none of these corpses are Billy's gang, it may be the mechanism that Wang Wei unlocked. Now we have only one way to get in their head and get what we want, but this method is very dangerous, and if we don't get it, we will all die in it. ”
"What's the solution?" Gao Yanan couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?" "This operation is more important to the country, but it is the first time for her to take on such a task, he doesn't want to end like this, he always has to come up with some results.
Lu Liang nodded and said, "This hypothesis was put forward by Wang Wei. The pyramids built by the Mayans all had a mysterious well inside, which they called the 'Holy Well'. What the Mayans knew about inside this holy well. However, some bones have been excavated during previous archaeological work, as if something had gnawed on them. But there are no animal bones. Don't know what's going on? Now the only way we can get ahead of them is to go down from the well. ”
"Good. Just do it. I nodded and said, "I don't want to come in from the edge of death and go back empty-handed." If you don't have a little comfort, how can you get up to the hardships along the way. We've been on the verge of death, and now that so many dangers have passed, and this is the last danger, do we still want to run away from it? ”
Lu Liang said: "Okay, since that's the case, you come with me." "We followed him left and right, and no one asked why, in areas unfamiliar to him, it was wise to trust these authorities.
Standing beside a dark well, I took out a cold firework and threw it in. The blue flames fell quickly, and we carefully looked at the situation on the wall of the well. With a snap, the cold fireworks fell to the ground. We visually measured the effective distance, and it was about sixty or seventy meters here. After waiting for a while, I didn't hear a sound coming from below, so I threw another one in, and waited for a while, but there was still no sound. We are relieved that there should be no danger below.
I took out the rope, took it apart and looked at it, and the seized rope was not long, only about fifty meters. We joined the two ropes together, pulled a parallel buckle, and slowly lowered them. Gao Yanan said, "I'll go down first." If there really is something, I think with my skills, there should be no big problem. Zhang Qian, you are the second, if there is anything supernatural, it depends on you. Just make up for yourselves, we don't want to keep people on it, it will be dangerous. ”
We nodded, I looked around, tied the rope to a stone carving, and pulled hard, to see that the stone carving did not move, I nodded, and the stone carving: "It's okay, go down." ”
Gao Yanan was the first to go down, and we followed the rope. And all the people entered into the holy well. I was at the back, just at the moment of sliding, I vaguely heard Qin Tai's shout: "Professor Shui......" fell to the bottom of the well without hearing clearly. I have a flashlight shining upwards, but I can only see more than 30 meters clearly, and the light of the flashlight is scattered when I go up, and I can't see what is on it?
"What's wrong?" Leng Feng asked, "What's wrong with it?" ”
I shook my head suspiciously and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong, I seem to hear Qin Tai calling me." Ye Simin smiled and said, "Professor Shui, you see you heard it wrong, you don't know that Qin Tai didn't come here." Yu Qian shook her head and said, "Not necessarily, think about it, how much time have we lost in this pyramid?" It's been half a day, right? For such a long time, it is possible for Qin Tai to come here. Li Meiting said with a smile: "Maybe, Qin Tai lives in a country where Catholicism is prevalent, maybe he is a ** Catholic." Hehe. ”
I spun around and said, "Is this just a secret room?" Gao Yanan shook his head and said, "Yes, there is nothing, just an empty secret room." Now what do we do? I smiled and said, "What else can I do?" Find your way. We can't go here anymore, we have to get out. ”
Lu Liang looked at me and said, "Boss, it's up to you to find the way." If there really is no road, we will dig one out. I looked at the secret room, shook my head and said, "This is hard granite, marble, rely on a chisel, that is, the chisel is gone, and it may not open a way out." ”
Gao Yanan asked, "Professor Shui, don't you have any other way?" ”
I shook my head and said, "There is a way, but the danger is too great." If not, we'll have to go back. ”
Gao Yanan nodded and said, "You're talking about explosives?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's all granite, and explosives are a good idea, but I'm not sure how thick the walls here are, and if we use too much, we might be buried underneath." If you use less, I am afraid that it will not be effective. So, I couldn't decide which way to do it. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to go back. Then go in ambush with a little bit of hacking. That one is much safer than it is now. ”
The crowd also looked at each other, and no one could make up their minds. Any decision will be related to the fate of everyone, so no one looked at me and Gao Yanan without speaking, waiting for us to make an idea.
Leng Feng looked at us embarrassed, and couldn't bear to say, "Otherwise, let's go back." Even if you can't get anything, it's better than leaving your life here. What do you say? ”
Ye Manqing suddenly raised his hand and said, "Shhhh We hurriedly shut our mouths, and heard fierce gunfire from above, presumably an expedition team was fighting again. Really, I didn't even know where the treasure was, so I fought. I don't know if it's worth it if I lose my life.
The rope shook and someone came down. We hurriedly hid in a corner and left this potentially dangerous place. Before the man had come below, something had already fallen to the bottom of the well. With a loud bang, the whole holy well shook. It's a bomb, and I don't know which turtle grandson is still it. The flying shrapnel injured several of us. My arm was also hit, the hot pain was unbearable, Li Meiting and Yu Qian hurriedly helped us bandage the wound, stop the bleeding, apply medicine, and bandage. After this busy time, Li Meiting and Yu Qian were already tired and out of breath.
The man who fell was fine, he looked at us and said in surprise, "Professor Shui, how could it be you?" We were stunned, and quickly shone the flashlight away, and it turned out to be Sonny. I hurriedly asked, "Sonny, where is Qin Tai?" Sonny shook his head and said, "I don't know, we're separated." I was just lucky enough to meet a colleague and follow them here. I didn't expect to fight for a small thing just now. ”
"Oh?" I asked curiously, "What is it?" ”
"It's a stone pendant. It was strangely shaped, like a small arrow, but the arrow feathers were scattered, and it looked like a fan. Listen to what they are talking about. I don't know what it is? Sonny shook his head.
"Key!?" I exclaimed, another key. I subconsciously touched my backpack, and the little sword-like stone of my friend inside, and the Yakesi also said that it was the key. It seems that there really is a graceful argument here, and something needs to be opened up. Everyone looked at me warmly, and I shook my head and said, "I don't know how many keys there are, do you?" In our current situation, the odds of winning it are not very good. ”
"Yes, that's right." Sonny said, "There were thirteen of us in the group, but there were more than thirty of them. I heard that they are a big drug lord in Mexico, and the weapons in their hands are all the latest submachine guns, and none of them are old. It seems that it is specifically for this pyramid. Everyone from the outside knows that there is a pyramid here, which is the legendary Golden City, and now the outside is crazy, and I don't know how many people will come here. There were a lot of people just waiting outside the castle, ready to eat black. ”
Suddenly, the rope fell down all of a sudden, and we were shocked, so vicious means directly cut off our back road. I shook my head: "Now we have only one way, and that is to blow up a road." Everyone also looked at the rope silently, and Ye Simin went up and coiled the rope and put it in the backpack.
I looked carefully at the big pit on the ground, and then I tapped it carefully, and it was clear that it was empty underneath. And all the people heard it. I smiled and said, "Now I can only look at you." I smiled and handed the hammer to Lu Liang: "Aren't you going to dig a road?" Now here's your chance, you go. Lu Liang hid his hand behind him and said, "Isn't there explosives in your backpack?" It's not enough to blow it up. I pointed at Gao Yanan with a smile and said, "You ask him to see if she dares to use it." ”
Gao Yanan said with a wry smile: "When we came out, we brought two kinds of explosives, one is an inefficient directional blasting explosive, and the other is a super-concentrated miniature explosive. Right now, Professor Water and I only have high-explosive miniature explosives in our backpacks. Those low-energy directional blasting explosives are in the hands of Wang Zongjun and Liu Qiang, and now they have even lost their backpacks, so there will be directional blasting explosives? Do you know the power of these explosives on our bodies, and if they are not used properly, it will not be a problem to sweep this pyramid. Do you think we dare to use it? ”
Leng Feng went over and measured the diameter of the hole in the ground, and said, "You don't need explosives, just shoot with a gun." It can be opened with a shuttle. As he spoke, he picked up the gun and was a shuttle. The bullet circled around the hole, and although it was not opened, the bullet was already deep in the ground. Leng Feng grabbed my arm, leaned over, and stomped the pit, and the stone floor fell down all of a sudden. A hole in the ground with a diameter of sixty or seventy centimeters was first made.
A flashlight shone underneath, and there was still a stone chamber underneath. But when we saw that there was a half-open door in the stone chamber below, we hurriedly followed the rope and tied the end of the rope to the ground with a chisel, and everyone slipped down the rope. I don't know what's down there, but it's better than where there is no door right now.
This stone chamber is obviously a lot bigger than the bottom of the well or something. It's just that the contents are messy, as if they have been turned over. Lu Liang said with a sad face: "It's over, let's be one step late, this place has already been turned over." When did Wang Wei become so powerful? It's so overwhelming. What's going on here, it's going to be ** ten meters underground. I guess it's almost the end. **Ten meters should be the height of the 30th floor. This pyramid is in **, and it can't go down that deep. ”
Ye Simin said: "Okay, Lu Liang, let's go out and have a look first, what's the use of you guessing like this now?" Go out and find out what the hell is going on. "Let's nod and see. When the stone door was opened, the flashlight shone outside, and everyone was startled.
Outside, there were mummy-like corpses, thin flesh clinging tightly to the thin skeleton, and the dry flesh showed a black glow. The bones of the dried corpse are wide, and at a glance, you can know that you often do manual work, so you can deform the tired joints. These are supposed to be slaves. Legend has it that the Mayans were a people who loved to kill, killing thousands of people every time they worshipped the gods. We took a closer look, and there were probably tens of thousands of people here.
Everyone has a different expression, there is pain, despair, loss, helplessness, anger...... I never thought that people's expressions would be so rich, and those eyes that never closed flashed with unwillingness. The protruding eyeballs made us shudder, and Leng Feng hugged my arm tightly. The corpses lay strewn to the ground, leaving no space to walk.
Ye Simin leaned down slightly, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "These people were poisoned to death." It seems that one is that there is a poisonous gas that fills the entire space, which is why these people are like this. You see, there are not many Mayans in the first place, and with such killings, how can they not be exterminated? ”
"Let's go, get out of here first, it's uncomfortable here." Gao Yanan said: "There should be something else ahead, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to come here, it seems that we are indeed the first people from Leo here." So, everyone pays attention to the things around us, and maybe there are things in it that we want. Everyone agreed, but no one carried it out. Everyone walked cautiously, and no one wanted to step on the dried corpses.
After walking for more than half an hour to get out of the place occupied by the dried corpses, we found that Sonny was still in the group of dried corpses, dancing as if he was fighting with someone. We called him a few times, and he didn't seem to hear him. Zhang Qian took out the peachwood sword and swiped it with a talisman, and the talisman flew towards Sonny gently as if it was psychic.
