Chapter 33: The Human Candelabra

The strange sound coming from the mountain again shocked everyone present, Chen Lu ordered the soldiers to prepare their weapons, and Yang Zhi also drew his knife, but the strange sound disappeared after a few rings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cao Lao Liu trembled and said: "This voice is so loud, this scoop must be very powerful, what if we run into him!" ”

"Even if there is a tomb for him, we will open it for him, this is the order of Elder Li Shan, and we must not disobey it." Chen Lu said solemnly.

Listening to Chen Lu's words, I felt a little unhappy, this Chen Lu I felt good about him when I first met him, but this time I heard him say this, I suddenly realized that he was sent by Li Shanchang, and naturally he was also Li Shanchang's subordinate, in addition to protecting us, he also commanded the soldiers to open the tomb, maybe he was also responsible for taking care of us.

Ah Ning carefully observed the sealed soil, and seemed to be preoccupied, and turned his head for a long time and asked, "Brother Xiao Jiang, how do I feel a little infiltrated in this place." ”

I pointed to the cavern on the ground and said, "I suspect that this strange sound may really come from the coffin, and the door of this tomb does not seem to be in accordance with the logic of feng shui, and it actually opens the door to the murder seat." It is also possible that the owner of this tomb may have deceived the corpse because of feng shui. ”

"What then?" A-Ning looked at me nervously, her face full of horror.

I shook my head, looked at the group of well-equipped soldiers led by Chen Lu next to me and said, "With them, it should be more than enough to deal with a scoop." ”

Then I beckoned Chen Lu and them, pointed to the cavern where I hit the bricks just now, and said, "Listen, everyone, Shinto is in this position, now everyone hurry up and pick up the guys and dig down from this place, do you understand?" ”

When I finished speaking, the soldiers with tools seemed to have not heard, all of them looked at Chen Lu, but did not move, Chen Lu looked at me blankly, as if the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate. Looking at the soldiers in front of me, I suddenly seemed to understand that maybe everyone didn't want to follow me after hearing that terrible strange sound, plus I was a new petty officer, they definitely didn't take me seriously, so they would stand there without moving after I issued the order, I had never been an official or anything like that in the past, and I didn't know how to deal with this situation, so I had to stand there stupidly.

Cao Lao Liu suddenly ran over when he saw this, took my backpack at once, rummaged through things in the backpack, and after turning over for a long time, he took out the token that Li Shanchang gave me to touch the gold, and shouted to the soldiers: "This is the gold touching order issued by King Wu himself, if you dare not listen to the order of Captain Song, you will disobey military law, and Captain Song can make your head fall to the ground." ”

After listening to Cao Laoliu's words and looking at Cao Laoliu's token, everyone began to look left and right, Chen Lu turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Didn't you hear Captain Song issue an order?" Hurry up and get to work. ”

"Yes, yes, we'll start right away."

When the soldiers heard Chen Lu's words, they picked up their tools and ran to the place where I was digging and dug up, some digging and some carrying the soil, while I, Ah Ning and Yang Zhi stood aside and watched them work.

After digging for most of the day, a huge pit appeared in front of us, and I looked down into the pit and felt that there was still about a meter to dig to the Shinto.

"My lord, look at what this is." I was standing outside the pit when I suddenly heard the soldiers screaming, and the soldiers working next to me also stopped their work and surrounded me.

I thought to myself, this Shinto is said to be more than a meter away from seeing, can I find anything now? I hurriedly went down to the pit with A-Ning Yang Zhi, Cao Lao Liu evacuated the surrounding soldiers, I walked to the place where everyone was watching, and saw a bronze candlestick appear in front of my eyes. I took a small shovel and carefully cleaned the soil on the bronze candlestick, as the soil slowly cleaned up, I found that the top of the candlestick was a strange bat shape, the shape of the candlestick was a cone, it seemed to be inserted in the soil, I tried to pull it out, but I couldn't pull it out at all, I thought to myself that there must be a part below that has not been cleaned out, so I continued to use the shovel to carefully clean it down, when the soil slowly decreased, I saw a pale yellow thing, The candlestick was stuck on top of the yellowish thing.

There were a lot of people around me, all with their eyes on my shovel, and when I moved, everyone's eyes followed.

I was a little anxious, so I dug hard with my shovel, and the dirt on the yellowish thing was gone, and I looked at it, and saw a human skeleton appear in front of me, and the bat cone candlestick was stuck in the skull.

The people around saw the skeleton and talked about it, A-Ning and Cao Lao Liu also came over and stared at the skeleton candlestick, I continued to dig down, after a long time of hard work, the mud of the candlestick was finally completely cleaned up, and what appeared in front of us was a skeleton wearing silk and sitting on the ground, with the weird bat candlestick on his head.

Looking at all this in front of me, I seem to feel that this tomb does not seem to be as simple as we imagined, using people to make candlesticks, how bloody and terrifying it is, Cao Lao Liu also looked at the candlesticks and said suspiciously: "Good girl, it seems that this bronze candlestick was smashed into the brain when people were alive." ”

"How can I see this candlestick and feel that the tomb we are digging now is so evil, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen." A Ning's face was melancholy.

I touched the bronze candlestick, looking at the texture and craftsmanship of the candlestick, it seems that this candlestick should be something that only existed in the Warring States period, so this tomb should be a cemetery in the Warring States period.

I instructed the soldiers to carefully carry out the human bronze candlesticks and let them continue to dig, and after a while, they dug up the Shinto, and after digging the Shinto, I ordered the soldiers to continue digging along the Shinto, but when the soldiers continued to dig forward, they dug up more human bronze candlesticks, so to speak, there was one every other section, just like the street lamps on the road.

In ancient times, it was very common to use living people to be buried, especially in slave societies, living people were buried and even became the favorite burial method of the powerful and powerful, in the past I also saw it when I followed the archaeological team to carry out archaeological excavations, and when I saw the burial pit, I felt that the people in the past were really cruel, why use the living people to bury, and seeing these skeletons that were made into the lampstand, I suddenly felt that the people in the living burial pit I had seen in the past were much happier than the people in this pit, At least you don't have to smash a bronze candlestick into your head. Strange Shinto orientation, strange human candlesticks, terrifying strange sounds, it seems that this ancient tomb is no longer what we can imagine, what kind of person is the owner of this tomb?

After a long period of excavation, the tomb door of the tomb finally appeared in front of me, and at this time the Shinto was completely cleared, the Shinto was not horizontal, but a staircase of about 45 degrees, and the stone door of the tomb was made of two huge granite stones, and there was a gap between the two stone doors, and a strange ghost face was carved on the stone door.

Cao Lao Liu took a stone and knocked on the tomb door vigorously and said, "This tomb door is thick enough, how can this be opened?" ”

I looked at Cao Lao Liu and asked, "Cao Lao Liu, you also dug graves and robbed graves in the past, can you still be stumped in this situation?" ”

Cao Lao Liu said with an embarrassed expression: "Hey, don't mention it, in the past, I used to rob tombs by robbing some small tombs, when did I get such a big tomb, let alone let me open this tomb door, I have never seen it." ”

A-Ning walked over and pushed Cao Lao Liu away, turned on the flashlight and shone it through the crack in the door, studied it, and looked at A-Ning, I felt much more at ease, after all, this little girl is the best at these doors, mechanisms, and whatever.

After watching it for a long time, A-Ning turned off the flashlight and said to me, "This tomb gate has no mechanism." ”

"It's not a good mechanism, let's just open it." As soon as I heard that the tomb door did not have any mechanism or anything like that, I was very happy, and thought that it would be much easier to open the tomb without a mechanism.
