"Deep Lake Tomb Chapter 13 Into the Ancient Tomb"
"This lake is not natural, it is artificial!"
The fat man was also a little surprised after listening to Ren Ke's conclusion, and hurriedly beckoned me to take a look. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info When I came to the shore of the lake, I also noticed that there was something unusual around here. It stands to reason that as long as it is a naturally formed lake, the size is also very irregular, but the lake in front of it, when viewed from above, forms an unconventional oval shape, which looks like an egg, and even the corners and corners are not broken, which is really very strange.
The fat man picked up a stone like Ren Ke, and then threw it into the center of the lake, and the moment the stone fell into the lake, there were ripples, and the ripples of the water around it also reached the opposite sides at the same time, basically it can be said that every second is right.
The fat man looked at me again after seeing the ripples and said, "Looks like this is the place we are looking for." ”
I looked at the lake in front of me, then looked around again. Although it is now known that the lake has been artificially created, there is no entrance to the underground tombs around it, and there are many weeds and ancient trees growing around the lake, and this place does not seem to be anything special.
I pushed the fat man and said, "This place doesn't look like anything special, it stands to reason that if there is an ancient tomb in this area, shouldn't there be some traces?" ”
The fat man looked around and didn't speak, obviously not knowing where the entrance to the ancient tomb was for a while. I looked at Ren Ke behind him again, and saw that his behavior was very abnormal, and his eyes were always staring closely at the center of the lake, as if there was some treasure inside.
I thought he was stunned, so I walked over and touched him and said, "What are you looking at, so fascinated." ”
Ren Ke ignored me, instead waved his hand to tell me not to speak, then stretched out his finger and pointed to a clearing behind the lake and said, "Look there, what did you find?" ”
The fat man and Da Zhuang looked in the direction of his finger, but they only saw a clearing, and nothing else. After looking at it for a while, the fat man said a little anxiously: "I said you, if you want to be funny, can you divide the time, now this time is..."
Without waiting for the fat man to finish speaking, Ren Ke's brows suddenly tightened and interrupted the fat man's words and said: "You see that around this lake, there are trees planted in all directions, if I guess correctly, this should be a unique means during the Shang Dynasty, although this tree looks luxuriant, but it is actually dead, but the roots are not shaking." It should have been left by the person who built this ancient tomb. Isn't it suspicious that the place was an open space, and there was nothing on it? ”
After listening to Ren Ke's words, I quickly turned my head to look over, and indeed there was nothing in that place, as if it was a wasteland, not to mention trees, not even weeds. But such a large vacant lot should be very conspicuous, but we have been here for so long, and we haven't found it, which is really a bit unbelievable.
Ren Ke didn't speak, picked up his luggage and walked towards the open space alone. I greeted the fat man and Da Zhuang, and hurriedly followed. However, although this clearing does not seem to be far, this distance is more than half an hour's walk, and the edge of the lake is equivalent to a forest, and the road inside is more tortuous than before. If it weren't for Ren Ke leading the way in front, it is estimated that we would not be able to go out for another hour.
When he reached the clearing, the fat man looked at the map in his hand. It stands to reason that there should be a giant gate of an ancient tomb here, but after coming, there is nothing, is the content on the map fake?
The fat man looked at me as if he knew what I was thinking, and said to me with a little mockery: "You kid is really muddy and can't support the wall, although this is a deep mountain, but who has nothing to do to make the door of his ancient tomb so obvious, let me guess..."
Speaking of this, the fat man's gaze shifted from the map in his hand to the lake and said, "The gate of this ancient tomb should be under this lake!" ”
"Below the lake?"
Da Zhuang was a little puzzled, and after glancing at the lake, he asked: "Fat man, don't fool me if I don't read much, how can this tomb gate be under the lake, then we can't get in?" ”
Ren Ke on the side didn't seem to hear our conversation, walking back and forth on the clearing, and suddenly stopped when he walked to the upper left corner of the clearing, and then stomped the corner a few times, and the ground under his feet collapsed a little.
Ren Ke looked at the clearing under his feet and said to us, "Dig this place, this is the passage to the ancient tomb." ”
Hearing this, a few of us immediately ran over, I looked at the somewhat collapsed place and asked with some incomprehension: "This is the passage of the ancient tomb, is it really fake?" ”
Ren Ke turned around and took out a folding shovel from his backpack, and said while shoveling soil: "Where there is an ancient tomb, there must be a vent, otherwise the ancient tomb will collapse." Since the tomb gate is under the lake, there must be something else to the way to the tomb, and this land is softer than the others, so I think there must be another entrance below. ”
After listening to Ren Ke's words, I nodded, then looked at the fat man with some disdain and said, "Look at the people, and then look at you." ”
The fat man was a little unconvinced by what I said, but he didn't say anything, and he also took out a shovel from his backpack and began to dig it up one by one.
After digging for about half an hour, we dug a deep pit in this land, and after the fat man went down with a shovel, the soil brought out actually had a little red liquid, and the fat man looked at the liquid on the picture and smiled, signaling us to continue digging quickly.
I looked at the red liquid on the picture and asked, "Da Zhuang, it can't be blood on it, right?" ”
Da Zhuang smiled and pointed to the liquid on the soil and said: "This is not blood, just a kind of lacquer used to protect the ancient tomb, and now that this thing has been dug up, it is estimated that the person is right, the entrance is not far below." ”
After digging for more than five minutes, a bronze door similar to a semi-circle shape was vaguely exposed, and the fat man wiped the soil on it, and continued to dig a little deeper, and the entire tomb door was completely exposed to our sight.
The fat man took out a few flashlights from his bag and distributed them to us, and then motioned to Da Zhuang to let him walk in the front, followed by the fat man, then me, and finally Ren Ke. Because the tomb door is very small, it can only accommodate one person at a time, and after passing through in turn, we turn on the flashlight and go deeper into it step by step.
It was pitch black in the tunnel, and even with a flashlight, it was impossible to see anything clearly, so he could only move forward with the help of faint lights and sensations. Because this tomb is closed all year round, the air is a little humid and a little turbid, but the structure inside this tomb is very complete and has not been damaged at all.
Walking along the tomb road, there is a wall in front of you, and there is no road around it, as if it is a dead end. The fat man touched the wall in front of him, and then slammed it in, but the wall didn't move.
The fat man rubbed his shoulders and scolded, then turned on the flashlight to see if there was anything similar to the mechanism around, Ren Ke slowly walked to the wall, his slender hands touched the gap on the wall tiles back and forth, and his black and white eyes also shook back and forth with the direction of his fingers. And when he touched the center of the wall, his right hand was clasped on the brick, and then his brows tightened, and his palm suddenly opened, and the middle brick was suddenly shaken out.
He looked at the gap left by the bricks and said, "The structure of this wall is very tight, and the thickness is much thicker than what we are used to, and the friction is also very large. ”
The fat man looked at Ren Ke in shock, and then looked at his palm, the wall that he couldn't break with all his strength just now, this person can actually blast a brick with one hand, this kind of ability is indeed not simple.
After about two minutes of moving, the wall was completely demolished by a few of us, and a new tomb appeared in front of it, but compared to the tomb road we walked before, the stone slabs on this tomb were a little strange, and each stone slab was depicted with all kinds of demons and monsters, and each of them was fangs and claws, extremely hideous!
I was a little frightened by the carvings on the slate, and I didn't dare to move forward. Da Zhuang smiled when he saw my appearance: "Brother Wei Qi, you don't have to be afraid, this is just a statue painting, and it is not alive." ”
The fat man put his arm around my shoulder and said, "That's right, although there are these scary things engraved on it, the purpose is to make those who come in here feel that they are walking among ghosts, besides, where do ghosts come from in this world?" ”
