Finale (II) Chapter 6 The Underground Palace of the Ancient Building
"Is this a tomb door?" The fat man said, he touched it and gasped, "It's really a tomb gate!" ”
"It seems that this may be the original form of Zhangjia Ancient Building. The oldest tomb of the Zhang family. It may not be a building, but an ordinary ancient tomb. Later, after the ancient building with a wooden structure above was built, it was retained by later generations as the underground palace at the bottom of the ancient building. The old-timers of the Zhang family are all here! ”
"Damn, then let's go in, isn't it equivalent to fighting backwards?"
"What, you're scared?" I asked.
"No, I'm excited." The fat man said, "How many brothers do you think, how long has it been since we entered the real fight?" If we really come to fight, it is a revisit, although not of a practical nature. But in terms of situation, we can have a good time! ”
I said in my heart that the fat man really had everything to say, so I said to him: "That's okay, 'Captain Jin', you ask first, hurry up and find a way, let's go out first." I'll find a few more real fights next time to keep you entertained. ”
"No, I said that, but after this time, I really peed a little. I decided to go back and switch to selling Chinese cabbage. ”
The previous ancient building was actually not a tomb in the formal sense, but when you enter here, the feeling is different. This is the tomb of the ancestors of the Zhang family, and it is also the tomb of the old-timers who are much more powerful than us, and it is disrespectful to disturb. We kowtow and prostrate before the tomb gate. Then I asked the fat man to come out with a cigarette, and everything had to be done according to the rules.
According to the rules of the northern faction in the past, you have to light incense to worship when you enter the ancient tomb, indicating that you are a poor bastard, the old lady is seriously ill, and the wife is robbed, and you must rely on this windfall to live, in order to get the forgiveness of the tomb owner.
Of course, the fat man said it more eloquently. What are you saying that the descendants of your Zhang family are unreliable, the GPS is out of power, you are lost, you can't find the way, etc.
I lost my watch. I can't look at the time now, I just know that we've been in there long enough. If he doesn't go out again, the mechanism above may really be activated, so he urges him to finish the job quickly.
The fat man said: "After reading it, let's smoke the 'incense'." The little brother has been here once, and I guess the ancestor won't mind. ”
I said, "Mind or not, you'll find out later." I can smoke cigarettes. You must not touch it. ”
After the fat man came down, the cough was significantly less, and I relaxed a little. The fat man was right, maybe he would be fine if he coughed up blood.
The fat man said, "Don't worry." Our future is uncertain, and I'm not going to joke with my life. When you smoke, take a big bite, and I'll just take a few second-hand bites. ”
I said, "Don't talk nonsense, let me see your methods." ”
After the fat man finished it, he went to push the stone door, and after pushing it a few times, he found that there was something behind the stone door that was resisting, and I looked through the crack in the door and saw a running stone.
"How are you going to open this stone door?" I said:
The fat man nodded. Pull something out of your bag. It was a strange hook, I don't know where he got it. It is estimated that it is someone in Mrs. Huo's team. He put the hook behind the door of the tomb and went to open the stone.
Tap stone is a very famous thing that can be used to make the stone door close by itself when leaving the tomb. At that time, many new archaeological team members did not understand the principle of this thing when they first entered the ancient tomb. will choose to use violence to forcibly open the door of the ancient tomb. They open it once and find out what's wrong, but it's often too late. The tomb doors were damaged beyond repair. Little brother, when they came down, they walked in reverse, no problem, but the stone gate is now automatically closed, and the stone is a card. It's not so easy to open.
The fat man doesn't seem to be particularly skilled in using this tool, and he hasn't opened it for a long time. I said, "Dude, I'm not very skilled in business!" The fat man scolded: "Damn, in the past few years, I have been messing with you, and I haven't been in a few serious fights." The people who followed were all masters, masters, and masters. I didn't even get a chance to practice. You know. Before I messed with you, I had so many tombs for me. It would be nice to have a few pit planers. ”
"So you have to thank us for giving you a long time?"
"Bullshit, just have a lot of knowledge and no money. I'm not a traveler. If you have nothing to do, you just wander around the ancient tombs, and Lao Tzu is also a person who has to memorize performance. ”
As he spoke, he saw the door loosen suddenly. I leaned against the top of the stone door, and the door finally opened.
A huge stone path appeared in front of us, and it was pitch black inside. We turned on our flashlights. Race to look inside. I found that I was still not used to calling it a tomb path - it was very different from the ones I had seen before, it was not decorated, but it was very similar to the stone paths I had seen before in the mountains.
The fat man's face was now full of a mixture of happiness and excitement, and he clearly didn't realize what I was thinking. He said to me happily: "Tomb road, damn, it is kinder than seeing the road in front of Lao Tzu's house." ”
"The Zhang family looks a little bit foundational! If the Zhangjia Ancient Building above is the most powerful work of style Lei, then it is all smashed out of stones. This project is obviously much more difficult than Zhangjiagulou. "I said." Moreover, with these stones as the foundation at the bottom of the ancient building, the earthquake resistance of the ancient building will be much higher."
There was nothing in the graveyard, and it seemed that there would be no mechanism: the fat man said that he could not manage so much. Since the little brother is from here, there may be a mechanism that has been destroyed by him a long time ago. And the concept of Zhangjia Gulou is particularly strange. It doesn't seem to have too many traps, all the traps used for defense seem to be the poison gas: still, it's the easiest and most effective anti-theft I've ever seen, and there is no defense more effective than a place filled with poison gas.
We turned on the flashlight. While looking around. As he walked towards the tomb. There has been no problem with the air. We breathe as much as we want. The burning sensation that hurt in my chest was basically gone.
On the stone walls here, there is no shadow of Milota at all. I touched it and found that it was all volcanic rock. Apparently, the place itself was built for the defense of Milota.
There are two drainage ditches on both sides of the stone road, which are similar to the tomb road in the ancient tomb of Xisha and connected to the drainage system under the ancient building. But it seems that there is no water flowing here for many years. Could it be that in recent years, the rainfall in Banai has decreased, and the rain is far less abundant than in ancient times? Or is it because of some major project, there is less groundwater flowing here? Whatever the reason, this is a pretty good thing for the protection of Zhangjia Ancient Building.
We walked sixty or seventy meters, and the cemetery began to turn. There were a lot of caves on either side, and all of them were very small coffins: the layout was similar to what we saw upstairs. But these coffins are all made of stone, which does not look too luxurious, obviously, the Zhang family in the early days, it was also more in line with the burial customs of the time, and most of them used sarcophagus coffins.
There is also a lot of writing on the stone walls here. The fat man wanted to see it, but I pulled it.
We can't let go of any clues until we find the little brother, but now we have found the little brother. At this time, there was only one sentence in my mind: I want to say bye-bye to Zhangjiagulou.
The fat man didn't give up yet, and said: "Let's take a look by the way, the original origin of the Zhang family must be in these words, and the things in these coffins must be very old and quite valuable!" Let's just open one, and it's not for nothing to take one away! ”
"Didn't you say you already peed? Why did you suddenly think about this set again? ”
"It's touching the scene." The fat man said, after thinking about it, he shook his head, "Forget it, it may not be a good thing to have you opening the coffin, listen to you, keep walking." ”
I said, "Don't talk nonsense! When you get out, if you want money, I can give you the third uncle's property! ”
The fat man said, "Come on." That kind of underworld culture Lao Tzu can't afford to consume! Fat man, I still like to live as a dealer for a few years:"
We walked about thirty meters further on, and suddenly a row of huge coffins appeared in the center of the passage ahead, each the size of a refrigerator with double doors, arranged in a line on the edge of the stone path.
We went up and counted them, and there were sixty as many. The fat man said: "These are a few of the ancestors of the Zhangjia Gulou who are relatively abnormal, and look at this body shape has caught up with the Japanese sumo wrestlers." It seems that such a good figure as the little brother talks about is also exercised the day after tomorrow. ”
I said, "These are all joint coffins, and there are two bodies in them. In this way, it seems that the coffins of the more loving model couples are here. ”
After the fat man saw it, he sighed greatly, if he and Yun Cai also came to the joint burial in the future, this coffin would definitely have to be bigger. Gotta build a coffin the size of a chest of drawers. I told him that after he died, Yun Cai was still old enough to remarry five or six more times, and they had to be buried together in a large bunk, and the fat man scolded me for being filthy.
I told him to stop thinking about it. There is also a stone door behind these large coffins, and there is a big black pillar on the left and right to see the thickness, which seems to extend from above, and may be the part of the ancient building that goes deep into the ground.
The stone door was ajar, and it was clear that someone had come out of it. I thought about it, and the fat man grabbed me and told me to look at the pillar. There are traces of being treated on the pillars, and a lot of things have been pasted. At first glance, it turned out to be all duct tape: looking at it like this, it was as if this pillar had been flattened after accidentally stepping on a certain underworld boss while walking, and it was almost impossible to draw two teary eyes on him.
I climbed up the pillar to inspect it and found that the tape had been applied to the countless little eyes on the surface of the pillar. The pillar looked as if it had been eaten by termites, and it was full of small holes. I wanted to tear off a piece and see, but I was blocked by the fat man. He said. Little brother, they must have posted it for a reason, don't move around.
We looked at it all over again, glued all the tape with the military tape we had brought with us, and then carefully pushed open the stone door. The moment I pushed open the stone door, I saw that all the tape suddenly sucked in, as if there was some change in air pressure at the entrance of the cave.
Sure enough, there is something strange, I don't know what will happen if I don't stick it, maybe there will be countless poisonous needles shot out. It occurred to me that this tomb could use air pressure as a power drive mechanism, which could be quite cleverly made.
After the stone door was pushed open, we entered sideways, and with a flashlight quickly shot at all the corners: inside was a stone chamber. (To be continued)
