Chapter 36: The second half is underground
My concept was completely turned upside down, not only was this ancient building not in the right place, but even the structure was so weird, and behind the door leading to the rear, it turned out to be a corridor underground. Could it be that the entire mansion behind is all built underneath? The designer obviously deliberately did his tricks, maybe the actual length of the back hall, and the length of the interior of the room is not the same, others come in, see this door and think it is the back door, in fact, it is still some distance from the real back door, and a hidden corridor is made in the middle.
The gate is open on the ground, and the rest of the building is underneath, is this still a house? It's a rat's nest. The designers are really too imaginative.
Suddenly, I remembered a sentence, it was the third uncle who told me a long time ago, building a villa in the deep mountains, either overseas Chinese or robbing tombs. Is this a deep mountain? This ancient house in the deep mountains, is it a fake building for tomb robbery? It's like often hearing that someone built a pigsty at the head of an ancient tomb and then came to cover the tomb robbery.
On the surface, it is too fitting for this statement, and from the corridor down, it may be the ancient tomb they are excavating, and these iron figurines are funerary goods excavated from the ancient tomb.
But if you think about it carefully, you know that it is impossible to be a tomb robber, and I understand that even the most powerful and eccentric tomb robber cannot build such a strong corridor for the sake of tomb robbing! This looks like a permanent stone street built by very experienced craftsmen, rather than an impromptu idea.
Besides, why build a Han-style building in Yaozhai? The existence of the fake building is to conceal it, not to let people pay attention to the tomb robbery activities, and to build a Han building in the Yao village, isn't it more conspicuous?
According to this kind of thinking, the best and most efficient way should be to build a Yao stilt building in this place, and then dig a hole directly in the evening to build such a tall and acquainted Han-style ancient building, the time and money consumed may be far greater than the value of digging an ancient tomb, and it is too ostentatious and completely unnecessary.
If this statement is to be feasible, there is only one possibility, that is, the following things are of astonishing value, and they are extremely difficult to enter, and it may take twenty or thirty years to operate. But I'm pretty sure that there can't be any big tombs here, because this place is located in a low-lying part of the mountains, and all the groundwater goes here, so there is no way to build a large tomb.
From what I know about architecture, I can still be sure of one thing...... It seems that this building was specially built for some special purpose, and all the special emblems are in the service of this purpose, and it is not known what this purpose is, so it is impossible to judge, but the core part of this purpose should be underground.
I looked at the oxygen meter, there was not much left, I could hold on for fifteen minutes at most, there was no time to spend any more, and then I looked at this corridor, it didn't seem to be too deep, and it slowed down after a dozen steps, and there was a green brick floor below.
The light of the green sè did not reappear, nor did it smell of danger. I think that even the water ghost doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, and it seems to be deliberately guiding me step after step. If you really want to take my life, I'm afraid I'll die a long time ago.
The previous experience made me feel a bit of a wretchedness, so I settled down, carefully opened the door, and swam down into the darkness.
When I got to the bottom and took a searchlight, I immediately took a breath.
Below was a brick basement, small, very long, and exaggeratedly long, and I couldn't see the end of the other end here.
There are many iron shelves on both sides of the brick room, and countless iron men lie flat on the ground one by one.
This is a bit like a dragon lamb, the iron figurines on both sides are like freshly fired porcelain, all on display, under the yellow sè detection light, the iron figurines are like a corpse, there is a foreign cathedral, the feeling of a hidden basement. At least 600 are estimated.
Could it be that this was once a factory of iron casters?
There was a lot less sediment in this place, and a lot of rust was covered with rust scales, and it looked like a rotting black corpse.
Along the way, I found that the movements of the iron figurines were different, and what was even more strange was that all the iron figurines did not have a right hand, and all the right hands were destroyed, and the tearing was very irregular, which seemed to be artificial.
The previous extreme panic had numbed me, and Jǐng looked around and continued to press forward against the ground. Until the end of the room, there is no imaginary underground courtyard, but a closed wall, and only a well is seen on the masonry floor at the end.
Digging a well in the basement, and it's in Guangxi, where there is plenty of water, that's a brain-burned. Looking at the convex staircase next to the well, which is easy to climb, it immediately became clear that there was something underneath.
At this point, the previous prediction began to waver. This is too much like a sign of a fake tomb robbery! Maybe it's really an ancient tomb underneath, maybe there's such an old scoop handle, xìng grid is very eccentric, likes to spend a lot of money to build a super luxurious house on the tomb robbery surface, and even more luxurious than the tomb below, and hopes to make the house extremely different, so that others pay more attention to the better.
Maybe there really is an emperor's mausoleum built in an area with super rich groundwater, and there are people in the damn sea! Why aren't people allowed in the water?
I took a searchlight and shone it into the well, and if it was a robbery hole, it was enough to be sure that the tomb was very difficult to enter, and that a corridor needed to be built so that many people could work at the same time with a large mechanical fire, and that the tomb should be under someone else's house, and they had to find a roundabout way instead of going straight down. In this way, this group of people is certainly not exactly a professional tomb robber, it is likely to be a team with a lot of people and a mixture of dragons and snakes, so thinking about it, it is very similar to the style of those tomb robbers in the past.
The warlord has a huge eyesight in the local area, and no one dares to say no to building a building in the Yao village, and at the same time, the relationship with Yao Miao is very tense, in case the Yao people know that they rob the tomb in the village, it is difficult to guarantee that the ethnic conflict will intensify.
On the one hand, it is necessary to be fast, and on the other hand, it is necessary to hide, and if the grave underground is huge, in order to save time, it is indeed possible to build a corridor for acquaintances, so that it is easy for people to enter and exit. Comparing the couplet at the head, the owner of this Zhang family has military merits, and it is really possible.
Thinking about it, I felt that I was very powerful, and when I saw the deep well, I couldn't see anything famous, and I was carrying an oxygen cylinder, and I couldn't go down, so I was ready to withdraw my body.
At this time, the well was faintly lit up with a green light.
I chuckled in my heart, there is coming! This time, you can see that the light is very close to the wellhead, only two or three meters. I wanted to use a searchlight to shine, but I didn't expect to move yet, the green light moved first, and rushed towards me in an instant.
I immediately raised my spur, and my heart was really moving! But the green light came too fast, and it flashed like a meteor in his ears.
For a moment, I didn't see anything, but I was immediately sure that it wasn't a ghost, but more like an animal glowing green.
Hurriedly turned around, only to see the green light flash into an iron shelf on the side, and it was extinguished at once. When I used a flashlight to shine, it only flashed and lit up, as if echoing the light of my flashlight.
Finally, I saw what it really was. It looked like an incomparably fat, four-legged snake-like gray thing, the length of my arm, lying on the head of an iron figurine, as if something was tied to the body, and when I looked closely, it was actually a flashlight, which was faintly glowing green.
