Chapter 688: Stone Gate
Seeing the bronze mirror inlaid on the brick wall, my heart moved, and I suddenly thought of a way to determine whether there was anything wrong with Xuan Chun and Feng'er at this time.
I first took the bright flashlight in my hand and shone it towards the bronze mirror on the brick wall little by little, intentionally or unintentionally, to find the position of Qichun and Feng'er behind me, and then looked at the two of them through the mirror reflection.
But to my surprise, the two of them who were reflected in the bronze mirror, Xu Chun and Feng'er, did not look behind me anymore, and at this time, I also felt that the feeling of being stared at from behind had disappeared .......
Could it be that I've become suspicious since I entered this passage?
"Come and see, there is no road ahead, it is blocked, and there is no way to continue to walk......" At this time, Captain Guo's voice came from the front.
After hearing his words, the fat man and I hurriedly walked over, and where the flashlight light shone, there was another stone door.
And this stone gate is not the same as the last one, there is no carved human head and scorpion tail on it, but there are four big characters written on it:
"Fame and power are like smoke." Although I can't tell which dynasty these four big characters are from, the gestures are strong and powerful, flexible and stretched, giving people a sense of charm and transcendence, even I, a layman who doesn't know calligraphy at all, can see that the person who wrote these four words, the calligraphy has naturally been perfected.
"Senior brother, are the four words written on this stone door 'death to tomb robbers'?" The fat man looked at the four big characters on the door and asked me, his current education level is that he can't even recognize all the simplified characters, let alone the conjoined ancient characters.
"No, the four words written on the door are 'fame and power are like smoke'." I said to the fat man.
"Fame and power are like smoke?" The fat man repeated.
After I finished speaking, I began to take a closer look at the stone gate, trying to see if there was any mechanism near the stone gate.
"Thirteen, I think the words 'fame and power are like smoke' further prove that this is an emperor's mausoleum." Qiu Shasha stood behind me and looked at the stone gate in front of me and said to me.
"I said Miss Qiu, you can forget it, which emperor doesn't regard fame and power as more important than his own life? is also fame and fortune like smoke, like life. The fat man didn't agree with Qiu Shasha's speculation.
Before Qiu Shasha could reply to the fat man's words, the fat man himself walked towards the stone gate:
"Come and see, is this the mechanism that opens the stone door?" The fat man looked back at me and Qiu Shasha and said.
When we heard the fat man's words, we hurriedly walked over to him. When I got closer, I noticed that where the fat man's finger was pointing, there was a small bronze mirror protruding from the stone door.
"Can this be turned?" As he spoke, the fat man was about to reach out and put his hand towards the bronze mirror.
Seeing this, I hurriedly opened my mouth to stop him: "Fatty, you wait for a while, don't move the bronze mirror." ”
"What's wrong?" The fat man asked, looking back at me.
"Generally, the opening mechanism of the ancient tomb stone door is set up in a relatively hidden place that is not easy for others to find, and this 'mechanism' is too conspicuous, so I think it may be a deliberately created trap to let tomb robbers get in." I said as I looked at the raised bronze mirror above the stone door.
"So, what should we do now? Regardless of whether this mechanism is true or not, we have to try it, how can you open the stone gate that is afraid of both the east and the west? The fat man looked at me and said.
"Fatty, stand back, I'll open it." As I spoke, I pulled the fat man behind me.
"Senior brother, hurry up and pull it down, you can't use the yang energy in your body now, it's not as good as me, if you want to try, you have to try it." The fat man didn't step back, but quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards the bronze mirror.
The fat man shot very fast just now, I haven't reacted yet, the fat man's hand has been tightly grasping the bronze mirror, seeing that he turned the bronze mirror on the stone door to the right, and then the whole stone door vibrate, and a lot of sand fell on it, and then there was a rumbling sound, and the stone door itself slowly opened upward.
Looking at the darkness inside, after the strong flashlight shines in, there is a large and huge space between them.
"Senior brother, you see that you are suspicious, this is not a trap at all, this door is opened, and there is nothing wrong." The fat man said to me, then looked at Captain Guo in front of him and continued:
"The door is open, you go ahead, go in first."
After Captain Guo heard the fat man's words, although he was extremely reluctant, he was afraid of the sapper shovel in the fat man's hand, so he had to walk into the stone gate.
Just when Captain Guo just walked to the position of the stone gate, suddenly the stone gate that had risen to the top made a sound, and the whole thing was like a guillotine, and it instantly smashed down towards Captain Guo below!
"Bang!!" A loud bang came, and Captain Guo, who was under the stone gate, didn't even have time to scream, he was smashed by the stone gate that fell quickly, his head and body were connected, and the whole scene was blurred ...... flesh and blood.
"Ah~!! Yes~!! ......" Behind us, Xuan Chun and Feng'er saw Captain Guo who was crushed to death by Shimen, and they screamed in fright, and there was even crying in their voices.
"I ...... Let's go, let's go back, this ...... It's so scary inside, I want to go home, I don't want to be in this hellish place for a minute, a second!! I'm going crazy if it goes on like this!! Feng'er cried and said, she was squatting on the ground at the moment, her arms hugged her tightly, and her whole body trembled and sobbed in a low voice.
I looked at Captain Guo, who died tragically under the stone gate, sighed, and then said to the two of them:
"If you want to go now, then go back the way you came, and we will never stop you."
When Feng'er heard what I said, she stood up from the ground suddenly, and ran back in the direction we came from without knowing her head.
After the two of them left, Qiu Shasha walked up to me, looked at me and asked:
"Thirteen, I really told you just now, this stone gate is indeed a trap, what should we do now? Do you want to risk climbing in from underneath? ”
I don't know if it's because of the broken bones on Captain Guo's body, or because the mechanism of this stone gate has malfunctioned because of its age, the stone gate has not completely fallen, and there is a gap of thirty or forty centimeters from the ground, and adults can completely drill through that gap.
Looking at the bright red blood stains on the ground in the gap under the stone gate, and the tragic death of Captain Guo on the side, who was almost smashed, I really hesitated at this moment......
If we don't move forward this time, then the Imperial Shadow hidden in the shadows may not be able to find him until he breaks the seal again, and this time is indeed an opportunity for us.
But if we want to go on, no one can guarantee that the mechanism on the stone gate is really broken, or if it is deliberately left for us to enter from below, and then fall down again and stone us to death.
"Senior brother, according to me, let's ...... this time" I hurriedly interrupted the fat man's words, looked at him and said:
"Fatty, don't talk about it yet, this time I'm in front, I'll try it first." Without waiting for the fat man and Qiu Shasha to agree, I leaned down and crawled towards the gap left under the stone door.
No matter what happens this time, I have to try, because this place is likely to be the cemetery of the emperor's yin soul, as long as I find the thousand-year-old emperor's yin soul, while he has not broken free from the seal, I will borrow the "Xuanhuang Earth Sutra" to completely destroy him, even if I can't destroy him, I have to find a way to prevent him from returning to the yang world again.
And it's not just for myself, but also for my family and friends, my daughter-in-law, and my grandparents, who are dead.
"Thirteen, you must be careful, if there is any movement, retreat immediately." Behind me, Qiu Shasha's voice reminded.
I nodded, took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, lowered my head sharply, and crawled towards the gap under the stone door in front of me......
