Chapter 9 marks the end of the mark
I quickly pulled the fat man and turned my head to look at Wen Jin, who was busy uncovering the equipment sent down from the rope ladder with a fellow, and didn't notice the fat man's movements.
So I asked the fellow, "What are you doing down here?" Don't take care of my third uncle? β
He grinned and said, "The third master has someone to take care of, I'll come down and see if there's anything I can do to help." β
I looked at his expression, I felt a little wrong, and my heart said that it was not good, this batch of eight lambs is a group of rabble, and what the rabble is best at is to scatter birds and beasts when there is danger, and if there is a benefit, they will be opposed. The guy's expression seemed to have some intentions.
Soon, three more people climbed down and looked at the huge circular burial chamber, and their eyes were on fire. The third uncle lied to them before leaving, saying how to fat fight here, and he was scared all the way, but he forgot everything when he saw the tomb, although they were all novice thieves, but tomb robbers are tomb robbers, and they are more greedy for the ancient tombs than we are. Wen Jin climbed down from the rope ladder, and when he saw such a situation, he also had a bad face, and whispered to me: "Let them go, these people are all outlaws, they are only superficially polite to 'your third uncle', they are only rushing for property, they all have weapons, and it is very bad for us to fall out with them, anyway, if there is something to touch, give it to them, and we can't stop them now." β
When I think about it, the third uncle is now incapacitated, even if he can deter these people, there is no way now, I am a little third master, when I scream in the mouths of this group of people, there is no sense of respect, it has completely become ridicule, and I can't help them at all, thinking about the scenery in Changsha before, it is indeed stained with the light of my third uncle.
I was a little depressed, but we were controlled by others, and I had a hunch that these people might harm our big things.
The fat man was very sensitive to these, and was already nervous, clenched the shotgun in his hand, and made a squirt at us, telling us to go quickly and get rid of them.
There were so many dangers along the way, and in the end I realized that the biggest threat came from my own people, which is a great irony. And these people just want money, if the heart is black, it may even kill us, for them, they have never been rich in this life, and what morality and virtue are, which is really a huge worry.
Stuffy with his equipment, he descended the rope ladder, and we ignored the men and began to grope our way forward. The "non" shaped Yongdao soon came to the end, and a karst cave appeared in front of us, and there were stairs at the end of the Yongdao, which were repaired along the wall of the cave and spiraled down.
The miner's lamp is not enough here, and the third uncle has a lot of spare equipment, and the fat man immediately lit up the flare.
The third uncle was equipped with several flares, and the fat man used low-altitude flares, which were used exclusively in the cave, and the fireball flew into the darkness and bloomed soon after, and the cave was illuminated. The fat man fired two more shots, illuminating the dead spots around him. It's a bit extravagant, but we've never been so well equipped, and it's the last minute anyway, so we don't have to use it in vain.
The fat man dropped the bullet casing, and he had to reload it for a shot, Wen Jin held him down: "No matter how thick the family is, you don't use it like this, and it's bright enough, no matter how bright it is, it can't be seen, be careful to burn our eyes." β
The fat man gave up, and we waited for the most shining stage to pass, and the light contracted, and the surrounding situation was clearly revealed.
This is indeed the deepest place at the bottom of the city of Talmuda, the cave is not naturally formed, but excavated by people, and the top of the cave is still very high, and the top of the cave cannot be seen clearly, but you can see that the surrounding area of the cave has been built into a step by step like the seat of the stadium, and each step is full of black sè A bloated statue, densely packed, circle after circle, no place is empty.
Because these statues are black, I still can't see the details clearly, I feel like I've never seen them here, is it a secret statue, or a totem unique to the royal family, which outsiders can't see or own?
I remembered the corpse pavilion in Genting Heavenly Palace, which was also in this pattern, and I felt that these statues might not be stone, but may be specially treated corpses. This may be the hidden corpse cave of the royal family, and the royal family with low status is buried here.
The flares fell lower and lower, and there were traces of human activity underneath, and I saw a stone disc at the bottom, surrounded by dozens of bronze vessels of different shapes and sizes, all of which were very clumsy. Looking at the four walls of the mountains and rocks, there is no obvious place to continue to move forward, and indeed we have reached the end of the road, and all the traces should be unraveled in this place.
The fat man was amazed, how deep it is here, I really can't say it, the Queen Mother Clan might as well be called the Mole Clan, what is the purpose of digging holes, digging such a deep place under the imperial city?
Wen Jin said: "This may be the holy place of the Queen Mother Country, the place where the royal family of the Western Queen Mother conducts secret activities, they may hold some extremely secret ceremonies here, or practice some kind of religion here." β
The fat man said: "I'm cΔo, this holy place of his mother is too dilapidated, it's really disappointing, these royal mothers are also lacking in hearts, what are these bronzes, and these stone carvings, carved are ...... Oh, my God! Xiao Wu, look at what these stone carvings are! β
The fat man was startled, and I startled him, at this time the flare fell to the ground, still burning, but the lighting range had been greatly reduced. I lifted the miner's lamp to shine it, and when I looked closely, I almost shouted, it turned out that these "stone carvings" around the cave wall were not stone carvings at all, but rows of royal figurines!
I couldn't stop gasping for air, and the memories in the Seven Star Lu Palace's palace poured out like chΓ‘o water, and at the same time, Stuffy Dongqian also let out a moan, obviously greatly stimulated, and his brows tightened.
Sure enough, these points are all related, there are so many jade figurines here, is there a living corpse in each one?
The fat man was bold and immediately leaned against the wall to a staircase. I was afraid that he would get into trouble, so I grabbed him and told him that I had to go down to the bottom to see the bottom, and I didn't need to make any effort.
We gathered our minds and quickly went down the stone steps, and when we reached the last step, the fat man jumped up and came to a jade figurine, and used a miner's lamp to shine a light on the corpse inside, which was a completely dried corpse, because the gap was too fine to see the details, one by one, and each jade figurine was inside.
"It seems that the eldest sister is right. This could really be the place where they cultivated. The fat man said, "Damn, these dry things, are they the immortals under the throne of the Queen Mother of the West in Chinese mythology?" That's not a long way off. β
"But these jade figurines are a little different from those in King Lu's palace." I said, "The jade figurines in King Lu's palace, the corpses inside are still alive, and these seem to have become dried corpses." β
"That's because of time, this cave should have been dug at the peak of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom, it should have been five thousand years ago, after such a long time, and things with moisture were also dried."
The fat man stroked the shell of the jade figurines with his hand, and the stuffy oil grabbed his hand and asked him to be careful, I said: "It's better to touch this thing less, didn't the little brother say at the time, if the time is not right, the jade figurines will be very important after they come out of their shells." β
The fat man said depressedly: "I just touch, let me leave some memories, okay?" β
I said don't forget the pain as soon as you are well, and it's useless to talk about it, so I don't pay attention to him. Wen Jin on the side was already attracted by other things, and walked towards the place full of bronze vessels.
I followed, and was astonished to find that the bronzes were so large that they were taller than me when they looked down, and that they were so strange in shape that I could not name any of them. However, each bronze clearly has its own function, and I saw the amazing decay on it, and the signs of use were obvious, and it was clear that this was not a place to put it up. If this cave was used by the Western Queen Mother clan to practice or perform religious ceremonies, then these things should also be related to cultivation and religious ceremonies.
At this time, I heard Wen Jin mutter: "God, this is the alchemy room of the Queen Mother of the West, and it really exists." β
