Chapter 13: The Stone Gate
A gunshot in the underground hall drew everyone's attention to the direction where the gunfire came from, and I shone my flashlight to see the fat man holding a rifle and laughing happily. There was still white smoke coming out of the muzzle www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", and it seemed that the gunshot just now was made by the fat man.
"Good guy, it's been so many years, the gun can still work." The fat man was holding the gun, and white smoke was still coming from the muzzle.
"You be careful, what if you hit someone, it's dark here, don't mess with this." I watched the fat man get angry and reprimanded the fat man.
"Curiosity, young man, kill the cat with curiosity!" Old Wu Tou walked over with a smile and patted the fat man on the shoulder.
The fat man cut off disapprovingly and continued to study the gun in his hand.
"I said master, why don't we bring a gun, I don't know what to do for a while, and that gun is good for self-defense." Hadron picked up a gun from the ground and wiped it with his own clothes.
"I see, let's all take some weapons and look at the situation in the cave, I'm sure there is definitely an unpredictable danger behind the stone gate, and you can defend yourself with a gun, what do you think?" Old Wu nodded and turned to me.
I picked up a submachine gun casually, and while looking at it, I said to A-Ning next to me: "A-Ning, do you think these guns can still be used?" ”
"It should work, or you give it to me, I'll give it a try." A-Ning took the gun in my hand, loaded the number of bullets, opened the safe, and then suddenly shot a few shots at a corpse on the ground, and instantly there were a few more bullet holes on the corpse, A-Ning nodded, and then gave me the money, and said to me: "These guns have not been used much in the past, and they have been relatively dry here, so they are still very well preserved, and they are very easy to use." ”
Holding the gun in my hand, and then looking at the corpses torn by bullets on the ground, I feel that A-Ning is right, if it was dark and damp here, these corpses should have already rotted and only bones remained, I took the gun and followed A-Ning's example and fired a few shots at the corpse just now.
"When I was on the ground, I was going to buy a gun, but I didn't expect the Japanese to leave me an arsenal here." The fat man picked up a rifle with himself, with a smile on his face, the fat man seemed to have a special hobby for guns, and the fat man told me in the past that men have an urge to conquer the world when they hold a gun.
"Alright, let's pick a few guns and bring them with us, see if there is any ammunition around, and we'll prepare some." I said to everyone, Lao Wu Tou and Qiangzi then each found a rifle, the fat man carried a rifle, and found a submachine gun in the pile of corpses, A-Ning found two revolvers, but Yang Zhi did not take any guns, which is also understandable, Yang Zhi has been learning martial arts in the mountains, and he may not like these guns and other things very much. After each of us took our guns, we found the ammunition box again, and each of us brought a lot of bullets, and after everyone was armed, we didn't look like we were going to the grave, but like bandits, and everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Old Wu Tou walked around the hall with Qiangzi, thoughtfully, turned around and said, "Why do you say they died so miserably, is there something very terrible behind it?" ”
"What are you afraid of, we have guns and people, and we are afraid of those ghosts, come out and kill one by one." The fat man glanced at Lao Wu, and made a sudden sound in the mouth of the gun, imitating the appearance of the gun when it was fired.
"Fatty, you talk a lot of nonsense, there are no more people here than us, and they don't have guns, aren't they all dead!" A-Ning frowned and looked at the dead body on the ground.
When the fat man heard A-Ning's words, he closed his mouth, and kept wiping the dust with his hand, muttering to himself while wiping: "It's better to have a gun than not to rob it." ”
"I think this place must have been after the Japanese opened the stone gate and found that there was danger inside, maybe they found the dried corpses you saw in the past. From the person who was crushed to death under the stone gate, they should have been in a hurry to close the stone door after discovering the danger inside, and it was closed in a hurry, and it should have been very nervous at that time, so that another person was crushed to death under the stone gate without escaping. And although the stone door was closed, something entered the hall before the stone door closed, and then they had a fierce confrontation, and finally they both died. "I looked at everything in the hall and uttered my speculation about the cause of death of the people who died here.
"And how do you explain the locked iron door?" A-Ning thought for a while and said.
"It's easy to explain that some of them escaped and closed the iron gates as they fled, which is why so many people died here." I looked towards the iron gate, and in the dim darkness of the ground, the rusty iron door gave me a terrifying feeling, an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Xiao Jiang, your analysis is very reasonable, I think you are almost ready to be a detective." The fat man laughed and joked with me, the fat man is this virtue, and he has never been serious.
Lao Wu Tou lit a cigarette and said, "Well, I feel that what Xiao Jiang said is very reasonable."
"Master, you said so, do we still want to go in?" Qiangzi looked a little scared, and his hand couldn't help but pull the corner of Lao Wutou's clothes.
"You coward, we're all here, are we going to go out like this? Besides, these people in front of me have also discovered through the past few days, you are not ordinary people! Old Wu Tou turned around and gave Qiangzi a kick, turned around and pointed at a few of us and said.
"That is, this Xiao Jiang and the silent Yang Zhi are the personal disciples of Master Puhui, looking at this beautiful beauty like a fairy, it is even more invincible in marksmanship, plus my fat man's two hundred catties of fat, I don't think there is a place where we can't enter." The fat man spoke with a sense of triumph, as if he were a hero.
"Shut up, you know to brag, you have the ability, and if there is a zombie, you will kill him for me." Watching the fat man's cowhide blow bigger and bigger, I was busy reprimanding him, although a few of us do have a little ability, but it is still necessary to keep a low profile.
"If you want to prove my guess, it's simple, let's take a closer look at the corpses on the ground, and see if there are any corpses that are different from these Japanese." I kicked the dead bodies on the ground.
"That makes sense, let's find it quickly!" A-Ning patrolled the ground with a flashlight.
After saying that, a few of us looked for it in the pile of dead people, and sure enough, it didn't take long for us to find several corpses that had been shot into a sieve, and the clothes worn by these corpses were obviously not Japanese, Lao Wu Tou took a flashlight to study these dried corpses for a while, and said to us: "Strange, these clothes look like Tang Dynasty clothes!" ”
"Tang Dynasty clothes?" I asked, surprised.
Old Wu Tou nodded, then pointed at Yang Zhi and said, "I saw this style of clothes when I dug up the Tang knife on Yang Zhi's body, and I'm sure this is the clothes of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder, if this group of people is wearing the clothes of the Tang Dynasty, then this group of people is definitely from the Tang Dynasty, then they appeared here and were beaten into a sieve, which can only show that the dried corpses that Lao Wu Tou said about the activities seen in the cave are real?
"Old Wu Tou, could it be that these corpses dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes are part of the dried corpses you saw in the past?" I said.
"Come to think of it, it seems like this is what the dried corpse we saw when we entered the cave that time." Old Wu Tou thought for a while, and then said, and then Old Wu Tou's old face couldn't help twitching, and he seemed to be very nervous.
"My father is right, the dried corpse I broke my arm that day seems to be wearing this kind of clothing." Hadron was also a little trembling at this time, and his voice became a little trembling.
The people around listened to the words of the old Wu and the two people, their faces were not very good-looking, after all, everyone is human, and it is impossible not to be afraid of this kind of thing that destroys the three views. Everyone fell silent for a while, and after a while, A-Ning said, "What, everyone is scared? ”
"What are you afraid of, not afraid." The fat man stammered when he spoke.
Although the fat man said that he was not afraid, from his serious expression, as well as the hand holding the gun and the cold sweat on his forehead, I could almost tell that the fat man was not only afraid, but quite afraid. I looked at the dried corpse on the ground wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, and a question appeared in my mind: I was wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, but the silk paintings left by my grandfather were obviously from the Han Dynasty, what was going on?
"I said that you don't have to be too nervous, the dead corpse on the ground and the dry corpse that Hadron broke his arm last time summed up, even if there is a dry corpse, don't be too nervous, at least these always show a problem, that is, the dried corpse can also be destroyed." Old Wu Tou rubbed his eyes, took out a shovel and slashed at the head of the dry corpse, only to see that the head of the dry corpse was split in half at once.
Old Wutou's words made the hearts of several of us who had sunk to the bottom float again.
"Let's sort out our outfits here first, old Wu Tou, A-Ning, you two come with me." I turned around and walked out.
I called Old Wu Tou and Ah Ning to the tunnel in the hall, walked to the stone gate, I pointed to the stone gate and said to the two people, "Look at this stone gate, can it still be opened?" ”
Ah Ning and Lao Wu Tou studied this stone door, this stone door is made of white marble, the surface is extremely smooth, and there is no gap between the door and the door frame.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, I don't have much research on this stone door, although I can unlock it, but there is no obvious mechanism on this door, I don't see a way to open this stone door." A-Ning straightened up first and shook his head.
"You can't even open it, are we going to blow the door open with explosives?" I remembered the gunpowder that Old Wu Tou had brought before, and I felt that it was really not good, and it might be the easiest way to blow it up.
"It seems that this is the only way to go. I've learned how to rob tombs, but I've never seen such a door. A-Ning made a helpless expression.
"This is a King Kong door" Lao Wu Tou said while touching the stone door: "This kind of door is polished with a boulder at one time, and then installed, this kind of door is very heavy, it is generally difficult to open forcibly, and the surface of the door is very smooth, if we want to blow up the door with explosives then we must hit the blast hole, but the white marble texture is hard, the surface of the door is so smooth, we can't blow it up at all." ”
"Could it be that our exploration ends at this stone gate?" I said disappointedly.
"This is not necessarily, where this kind of stone gate, there must be a mechanism, the small tunnel we are standing in now is similar to the ancient tomb of the Shinto, then it is very likely that the mechanism that opens the door is in the Shinto, besides, last time we could all dig a hole in, now we can also make a hole under the stone door and climb through the hole." Old Wu Tou smiled weirdly after speaking.
Listening to Lao Wutou's words, I suddenly felt that Lao Wutou's knowledge of tomb robbing was stronger than all of us, and this time was an opportunity, I wanted to learn from Lao Wutou.
"I think we might as well find the mechanism to open the door first, and if we can't find it, it's not too late for us to make a hole." A-Ning's eyes began to patrol all corners of the tunnel, trying to find traces of the mechanism.
I nodded, feeling that what A-Ning said made sense, since there is an easy way to open the stone door, why should we work hard, I said: "Okay, let's go back and call them, there are many people to do things." ”
We called the strong man and the fat man and others, and everyone carefully studied the various parts of the Shinto, and there are reliefs on the walls on the left and right sides of the Shinto, and the content of the reliefs is roughly the auspicious pattern of the dragon and the phoenix, but although the Shinto is not long, it is not easy to find, and the mechanism is often more secretive, so everyone's progress is relatively slow. Everyone was studying the Shinto wall with a flashlight, and Yang Zhi was standing in front of the stone gate with a Tang knife, looking at her as if she was waiting for the stone door to open, if something came out inside, he would play with his life. After a long search, several of us stood in front of the stone gate with nothing.
The fat man looked disappointed and said to the dragon head next to the stone gate: "Hey, you said that we came here, and it was not in vain to see these exquisite reliefs that this expedition was worthwhile, the craftsmanship of the ancients was good, and your dragon's eye was carved so realistically."
After the fat man finished speaking, he couldn't help touching the dragon's eye with his hand, but when the fat man's hand was on the dragon's eye, the dragon's eyes suddenly sank, which scared the fat man, only to see the fat man shouting: "There is a mechanism!" ”
Hearing the fat man's words, everyone jumped up nervously, in the ancient tombs, they often put various mechanisms in the ancient tombs in order to prevent theft and the like, could it be that the fat man inadvertently touched the mechanism? At this moment, there was a roaring sound from the stone gate, several of us picked up our guns, the muzzles were aimed at the stone gate, Yang Zhi also pulled out the Tang knife, and lay it in front of him, only to see the stone gate slowly rise up after a loud noise.
"Be careful, everyone, there may be something behind the door." Old Wu Tou looked at Shimen and shouted nervously.
