Chapter 22 The Qinling Sacred Tree
Because it was the left hand on the paddle, and the scary recoil of the paddle, after these few shots, I only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the hand couldn't be raised, but fortunately, the momentum was amazing, and even the old itch was scared almost staggered, and those mice retreated all of a sudden, not daring to attack again.
As soon as I saw this as an opportunity, I hurriedly urged the old itch to hurry up, the "beat" is very powerful at close range, but the bullets are limited, even if ten are killed in one shot, it is far from enough. The next time I shoot again, I don't know if it will have such a good effect.
After thinking about it, I had retreated to the zhōngyāng of the earthen pit, I looked down, and there was indeed a dark hole on the ground, and the brick layer under the soil surface could be vaguely seen.
I took a closer look at this hole, I think it's too small, horizontal three vertical four way to take it, just enough to accommodate one person through, and there can be a punch in the chest, this hole is almost attached to the skin, but the old itch listened to me when I said that I didn't know how big it was, it was estimated that when I took the brick, which other party made a mistake for him, now I can't manage so much, just don't collapse, and now learn the old itch, and jump down with one hand.
The top of the dungeon is more than three meters high from the ground, and the old itch climbed out at the beginning, and there should be something below to raise it, otherwise there is no way to do it, but when I looked down just now, it was pitch black inside, and I didn't know what to use, so I had to tense my muscles in case of accidents.
I stepped on my feet before I could get down to him, and I stepped on them. Found to be wooden. The heart said that the old itch should not put the coffin up. I picked up the lighter and looked at it, and found myself jumping on a wooden shelf lotus seat, there are a few piles of loose bricks under the lotus seat, and this thing is raised to a suitable distance.
I handed over the lighter to Old Itch. He ran to the side and lit a few white jars in the corner, and the tomb lit up, and I saw that he was familiar with the road, as if he had returned to his house to greet guests, and I was a little suspicious at the moment. Is there anything else this guy hasn't said.
I have only seen Qianlong's mausoleum in the tomb of the underground palace in the Qing Dynasty, and now there is nothing special around the tomb, the tomb of the four sides is all surrounded by stones as walls, and the top is a stone inlaid with blue bricks, just because of the cháo wet relationship, almost all the places within the reach of the eye have traces of mildew. On the other hand, because the place is narrow and the air is not circulated, the musty smell is stronger than above, and it is simply unbearable.
I walked down the lotus seat, first to see how Master Liang was, touched his forehead, found that his whole body was hot, his breath was weak, it was a symptom of hyperthermia, and he was busy pouring the remaining half a pot of water into him, and the old itch pinched his people a few times, and finally pinched him to the ground.
I pulled out a few bricks under the lotus seat, climbed on top of it, and tried to plug the hole above, but it was not successful, I could only put the bricks on the fracture very loosely, looking at it and not getting in, in fact, as long as I pushed it would fall down, but I still put the bricks on it, and if there were really rats coming in, it would be good to report as jǐng.
After I got it, I had time to sort out my wounds, and the few injuries on my back were not light, so I asked the old itch to show me, and after making sure that it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, I took a closer look at it.
The back half of the burial chamber has several coffins side by side, one large, four small, it should be a burial pit, here should be the apse, the largest coffin has been opened, the corpse inside is wearing a suit of armor, wearing a helmet, like a Qing Dynasty horseman, but unfortunately the exposed face is all black mold, which looks very unlucky.
Originally, after doing things, the coffin was nailed again, and such a serious mildew would not have occurred, but unfortunately I didn't know the aftermath after the old itch got started, I sighed in my heart, this ghost son is simply a typical example of today's unqualified people's thieves, and I will go out in the future to educate him well.
There is a corridor on the opposite side of the coffin, and there are stones on both sides of the corridor, there are no murals and no reliefs, which shows that the specifications of this tomb are not high, just a small rich family, and the corridor is not as good as the road is a place, because there is no room here, I estimate that there may be just a vestibule or nothing at all.
The more I look at it, the cooler my heart becomes, and I can't see where the "great benefits" that the old itch said, and my heart said that this ghost son, could it be that he put me with him again, and was about to ask him where the "benefits" were, when I suddenly saw him walk to the side of the main coffin, unbuckle his belt and make a set, and suddenly put it on the neck of the moldy dried vegetable corpse, and pulled it up.
The method of tying up the corpse rope and taking the beads in Xiangxi was also what I told him, but no one used such a disgusting method for a long time, this person really listened to me and regarded it as the truth, I walked over and asked him what he was doing. He waved his hand, smiled mysteriously, reached under the coffin and pulled it, and heard a creak, and the stones behind the coffin sank, and a secret passage appeared.
I saw that the tomb here was simple, and there would be such a mysterious tunnel, so I was suspicious, and when I looked inside, I saw a staircase slanting downward, and the light was limited, and I couldn't see it any deeper.
At this time, if there is a flashlight, any problem will be solved, but unfortunately there is no hand, I want to let the old itch put a signal bomb in it to see, but when I think of the trouble he broke just now, my heart said forget it. Recently, the luck has been bad, so it's no wonder that we are caught in the middle and don't stew it when it burns down below.
Lao Itch pulled his belt back, and said to me that this tunnel leads directly to the bottom, the distance is quite long, and the temperature below is too high, not suitable for rest, let's stop here first, eat some dry food, and then go down.
It smelled terrible, I didn't have much appetite, so after a few bites, I asked him how he found out about this authenticity in the first place.
He said to me, "At that time, I brought an authentic rope to pull the corpse, and I wanted to take off the armor of the corpse, but I didn't expect to pull it twice, as if something was hanging on it, and I put one foot on the edge of the coffin, but I didn't hold it steady, and as a result, I slipped and fell into the coffin—"
I waved to him, and that's it! Don't talk about the following, you have to be disgusting enough to be disgusting.
The three of them ate something indiscriminately, and Lao Itch said to take me down this secret passage first, Master Liang was not seriously injured, and he had recovered at this time. The three of them cautiously entered the secret passage.
Earlier, I was worried that it would be dark in the secret passage, and there might be a mechanism, but the old itch said that he had walked several times, and it was not difficult to walk, and he could go down without touching the side with a flashlight, so I was relieved, and after walking a few steps, I felt a hot wind blowing up from below, blowing away the musty smell around me.
The stairs were longer than I had thought, and the further down we went, the hotter it became, and in a moment I was already sweating profusely, when the old itch beckoned us to watch our feet, and I gathered my mind, and after a few steps we were on the ground.
I turned my head to see that we had walked out of the secret passage, and the front suddenly opened up, it was the bottom of a huge circular straight shaft, with a diameter of about sixty meters, and the bottom was sunken into a deep pit, and there was still nothing in it, but the black shadow was sufficient, and it should not be empty.
This is estimated to be the bottom of the rock mountain of this goldfish mountain, and the straight shaft wall on the side obviously has traces of excavation, obviously this cavity is artificial, but what are they digging so deep? Could it be that this is also part of the mine above? But there are no veins here, right?
I vaguely saw something huge standing in the center of the pit, but unfortunately the light was not enough to see clearly, the temperature here was very high, and a hot wind blew up from top to bottom, and the people who blew were dizzy, and they couldn't even stand on their feet, but because there was no unpleasant smell, it felt a little more comfortable than on it.
I pulled out a torch on one side, and as the old itch walked into the pit, a very spectacular sight gradually became clear before me.
In the middle of the pit, there is a large copper pillar with a diameter of about ten meters, at first glance I thought it was a copper wall with a curve, straight up, unattainable, the bottom was directly inserted into the stone at the bottom of the pit, very stable, I was almost stunned, such a huge metal tool, has long exceeded the smelting level at that time, human beings can never do it, appearing here, it is simply a miracle.
Take a closer look, there are many small but different thickness copper sticks on the copper pillar, which are very similar to the one that the old itch carried, I estimated it, there are no less than a thousand densely packed with them, and I don't know how many more there are above.
Old Itch said to me: "When I first arrived at this place, I thought I saw the Dinghai Divine Needle, and after a closer look, I realized that it was a giant bronze tree, but I couldn't figure out what this thing meant here?"
When I saw such a huge copper pillar, I was also surprised and shivered: "Then you have to ask the person who inserted it here to know, damn it, in this way, the mine above may not be dug for mining at all, but for digging this thing." They dug all the way down to the bottom of the mountain and didn't find the end, so how deep did this thing have to be inserted into the ground?"
Old Itch said to me: "The last time I came, I thought about it, this thing, I guess it will be inserted into hell." ”
