Chapter 40: Strange Beasts
Looking at the half-dug up stele, I was stunned.
After clearing the dirt a little, I saw the words engraved on the stone tablet.
"Whoever sees this monument, die!"
Holy, curse.
No, it should be feudal superstition.
We are civilized people in modern society, can we believe in curses?
Yuting beckoned to me, proving to me her deposit.
Well, that's a real slap in the face.
A ghost girlfriend like a flower is standing next to him, so what else is impossible.
So this thing......
Leave it alone!
Liu Xiangjun said: "Brother, where are we digging?" ”
I took a closer look at the terrain, pointed to the tombstone, ten meters away from the waterhole, and said, "That's it." ”
Liu Xiangjun: "Are you sure?" ”
"Uncertain ......"
I'm not sure what to do, but I still have to dig it.
There are four directions around the waterhole, and choosing any one is a quarter chance.
Liu Xiangjun definitely didn't know that I came up with this choice, and if he knew, he would probably be angry.
The sapper shovel of several hundred yuan was really useful, and the soil under the valley was soft and the land was wet, so in less than half an hour, Liu Xiangjun himself had already dug a big pit more than one person deep.
Although I am not too proficient in Feng Shui metaphysics, I did not really choose this place to dig a thief hole.
On the one hand, the strange stone monument appeared here, and on the other hand, with the waterhole as the center, this side is the west.
Western Elysium, this direction is also exquisite.
There is also the direction of the valley and the direction of the light projection.
After Liu Xiangjun dug for more than half an hour, I changed him to dig for a while.
The deeper you dig, the harder it becomes.
It went on and on a few occasions, and halfway through we took a break, ate something, and then continued digging.
In this way, I dug until almost at night, and when this big pit was dug to a depth of four or five meters, I finally dug up the hard rammed earth.
The hardness of rammed earth is not much worse than that of modern concrete.
If you dig up the rammed earth, you will prove that you have dug the burial chamber.
Although this last level is more difficult to break through, I finally saw the eyebrows.
And Liu Xiangjun's strength is indeed very great, the sapper shovel flew up and down in his hands, and the rammed earth was broken into slag piece by piece.
After more than an hour of drying, the rammed earth layer was finally broken, revealing a large black hole inside.
Liu Xiangjun enlarged the hole made in the rammed earth layer to the size that a person could easily drill into, and then he climbed up the rope.
The thief hole has just been dug up, and people can't go into it directly.
It has been stuffy for hundreds of years or thousands of years, and there must be a lot of harmful gases and toxic gases.
In this way, we ate something on it again and rested for more than half an hour before getting up again.
At this time, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
I was already ready to work hard all night, and I was lucky enough to be able to open the thief hole so early.
Therefore, we have a lot of food and water left, and now the thief hole has been opened, just waiting for us to go in, take the treasure and leave.
Liu Xiangjun and I each have a high-power flashlight. I bought a total of three and prepared a spare one.
Liu Xiangjun took the lead, and in order to find out if there was any danger inside for me, he went down first.
But he didn't know that before he went down, Lin Yuting had already gone down.
That's the good thing about ghosts.
If you are a person, no matter how agile you are, you must tie a rope and climb down the rope.
But ghosts don't need it.
Ghosts can float down arrogantly, willfully, and even turn over when floating.
I went down after that.
As soon as I got into the thief hole, I smelled a musty smell.
Although there were no bodies buried here, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when I remembered that this was a burial chamber.
I grabbed Lin Yuting's arm.
Lin Yuting said: "You are not afraid of ghosts, are you still afraid of this place where there are no ghosts?" ”
Thinking about it, I know that there are no ghosts, no zombies, just an empty burial chamber, like a cellar.
So what's there to be afraid of?
Some people say that people are not afraid of ghosts, but of the unknown.
The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is because ghosts belong to the unknown.
Like the relationship between Lin Yuting and me, I know her, he knows me, and there is no unknown between us, so even if she is a ghost, I am not afraid of her.
But this burial chamber is different.
Although Lin Yuting said that there were no dead bodies inside, I didn't know anything about this tomb.
I don't know what's ahead, what's hidden in the dark.
So, I'm scared too.
Liu Xiangjun and I were back to back, Lin Yuting was standing on the side, and the bright flashlight shone around the tomb.
This burial chamber is more than twenty square meters in size, surrounded by earthen walls, and in front of the burial chamber, there is a passage, which is supposed to lead to the main burial chamber.
In this way, we should be in the ear chamber on the side of the main burial chamber.
In this chamber, there was some armor on the ground, and there were some weapons such as broadswords and spears on the side.
The stuff was rusty, and the wood was almost rotten.
I haven't learned anything about it, and I don't know which dynasty these things belong to, but it doesn't seem like they're worth much.
I reached out and pointed to the doorway, motioning to look at the main burial chamber.
This underground, in addition to a musty smell, is also extremely depressing, as if there is a breathless feeling of suffocation.
So in this case, no one wants to speak, not even their mouths open.
Generally, tombs with a little size will have a main burial chamber and two ear chambers. If the grade is higher, there will be a front cross-hospital, a back cross-hospital, and even two floors......
Although this is a doubtful grave, the identity of the owner of the real tomb must not be too high, nor too low.
is high, if it is a royal relative, there is a royal cemetery, even if you can't enter the imperial mausoleum, you won't choose such a small place.
Therefore, the owner of the real tomb may most likely be a wealthy person or a local official.
Our requirements are not high, we don't expect to get rich all at once, we just need to get something decent and get through the difficulties in front of us.
Even if there is anything decent, it is mostly in the main burial chamber.
The passage to the main burial chamber has only one doorway and no door.
It seems that the specifications of this tomb are very simple, and it does not look like there will be a mechanism.
However, Liu Xiangjun still walked in front cautiously, always watching the movement under his feet.
But fortunately, I walked all the way to the main burial chamber and didn't encounter any mechanisms.
As soon as I got past it, the flashlight flickered, and I saw the coffin parked in the middle of the main burial chamber.
sarcophagus coffin.
The place of the wood has rotted a bit, revealing the sarcophagus inside.
And around this sarcophagus, there are also four stone statues.
The four stone statues are carved with the heads of human beings and beasts, and each head is a different animal.
Tigers, deer, dragons, leopards.
The four statues are all on one knee, holding a palm-sized box in both hands, facing the direction of the sarcophagus.
The human body is the head of the beast, and at first glance it is really cautious.
Liu Xiangjun and I were both shocked at the same time, and he asked in surprise: "Brother, what is this?" ”
Before I could speak, a dark shadow flashed in front of my eyes.
It was very fast, it fell from the sky and swooped down in front of our eyes.
Damn, didn't Lin Yuting say that there are no zombies? So what the hell is this!
