Chapter 24: The Statue
The air in the corridor was a little more gloomy, two lights were raised high, and a fat man with dark skin bent over, constantly tapping the ground in front of him with the dragon head stick in his hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Jin Buchang was very different from his usual performance, I held the super bright lamp high, and clearly saw that every inch of the ground was clearly probed under his tapping, without the slightest omission. Just this concentration and carefulness, I have to admit that I am sighing to myself.
Ni Tian kept shaking the light in his hand back and forth, carefully observing the situation in front and around, without the slightest relaxation, and kept explaining to me: "Although the mechanisms in this bucket are mainly triggered by the ground, there are also some special ones that are suspended in the air. In the past, I went down to a Warring States fight, and the mechanism was between the two walls of the corridor, about the height of an ordinary person's neck, and a very thin sharp copper wire was connected. It was already dark in the corridor, and the lighting was insufficient, one of our legs, as soon as he was not careful, his head was divided in an instant, and he didn't even have time to scream, and the blood gushed out from his headless neck like a spring, spraying all over the ground, and he was dying. ”
I unconsciously felt a little chill down my back, and reached out and touched my neck, it seems that this tomb robber is really dangerous, walking, walking, if you don't pay attention, you will unconsciously be in a different place, it is really terrifying.
Jin Buyi paused slightly, as if he remembered something, but he didn't say anything, and continued to tap on the ground. In the corridor, there was a sound of tapping again, but in the silence and darkness of the endless corridor, the sound was even more strange......
And it was only at this time that I understood why the fourth uncle had such a great reputation in the road of tomb robbing, not to mention other dangers for the time being, just the huge stone door that could only be opened by the three of us just now, how did the fourth uncle break it by himself?
I held my breath and condensed, followed Ni Tian closely, and carefully observed the situation around me with him, for fear of a mistake, and I didn't even know how my brain flew.
Suddenly! Jin Buchang stopped, and the tapping sound stopped. I hurriedly lifted the lamp forward, and saw that the ground that the stick had touched was obviously slightly sunk compared to the rest of the ground.
Could this be the detection of the mechanism? His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he secretly added some strength to his thighs, if Jin Buchang shouted, he would immediately turn around and run backwards.
After waiting for a while, Jin Buchang was fixed there like a statue, not knowing what he was going to do.
Ni Tian naturally saw this scene, squatted down, carefully observed on the ground, and then got up to observe the surrounding walls. After he looked at it carefully, Chong Jin nodded without changing: "Only the pit, it's okay." ”
Jin didn't change his mind, pressed the button of the telescopic stick, and the three-meter-long dragon head stick instantly retracted back to its previous appearance. At the same time, with a rumbling sound, the ground about three meters in front of us collapsed, and in an instant, it turned into a deep pit of about one meter.
I cautiously approached the edge of the pit and looked down at the deep pit, which was not deep, about two meters, but the bottom of the pit was covered with copper spikes half a meter long, and the tip of the pit shone with this bright cold light, which made people feel chilled for a while. If this falls, it is estimated that it will be strung into a sieve in an instant, and if you want to escape, you will not be able to escape, and you will definitely die.
Ni Tian saw that I was sweating at the corners of my forehead, and patted me on the shoulder: "Lao Jin didn't move immediately just now, in order to let me observe the type and scope of this mechanism first, fortunately, this pit is only one meter long, if it is more than three meters, we will have to work hard." ”
I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, and I was shocked in my heart, and it took some effort? If it's really three meters, I'm afraid it will be more than just a matter of effort. But then again, this Ni Tian is also quite interesting, everything is explained to me clearly, but it is a bit like teaching me to fight inverted, could it be that he has taken a fancy to the potential personality charm of the master? Are you going to pull me to be a grave robber?
The three of us crossed the pit one after another, and returned to our previous state, this time without incident, until at the end of the road, a stone gate of the same size appeared as before. Jin did not change his old tricks again, and with the strength of the three of us, he opened the stone door again, and his vision suddenly became wider, and a square burial chamber came into view.
There is a carved stone door on each of the four walls of the tomb, and in the center is still a lifelike huge statue, but this time it is no longer the previous "eight-sided killing god" holding a war knife, but a "four-sided boy" dressed in Mongolian costumes, holding a giant bow, and forming a bow and arrow posture.
The four faces above the skull are generally the same, without the slightest difference, all of them are closed and contemplative, as if they are contemplative, and if they look at their faces carefully, they seem to be young men. The mural on the roof of the room has also changed from eight black wolf heads to four white wolf heads, which are still fierce and breathtaking, as if they are about to pounce and tear people apart.
"Damn, Guo Jing, Guo Daxia, fortunately, fortunately." Jin Bu changed his hands and clenched his fists, and actually dressed the statue as if in a martial arts novel.
"What?!" I didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, I thought he was quite reliable just now, and it was revealed in an instant.
Jin Buchang glanced at me, and posed in the posture of the statue: "Ignorant, only know how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, haven't you heard of it?" This is my idol Master Jin. ”
"Have you ever seen Guo Jing with four faces?" His posture, coupled with his figure, was simply not the slightest sense of disobedience, and I couldn't help laughing out loud and made up for it by the way.
"Forget it, forget it, it's definitely not the four-faced one." Jin Bu changed his posture and waved his hand, obviously feeling bored.
Ni Tian frowned and fell into contemplation, and said to himself: "Four faces, why are there four faces?" The previous one was eight faces...... Eight-sided ...... ...... on all sides"
I saw Ni Tian talking to himself there, and I was also curious: "What four-sided, eight-sided?" ”
"The stone carvings we saw in the previous ear chamber are Mongolian warriors with eight faces, but the stone carvings in this room have become archery boys with four faces, and the murals on the top wall also have eight black wolves becoming the current four white wolves, is there any connection between this? Yes, there must be a connection. Ni Tian touched the beard on his face, not so much answering my question, but more like answering himself.
"The ancients were very particular about the murals and statues in the tombs. This mural is mostly to describe the great achievements of the tomb owner during his lifetime or some totem holy beasts implying to protect the tomb, and the wolf head mural we see is the latter. The wolf is the totem of the Mongolian people, and it is not surprising that it appears in the tombs of the Mongols, but what does this change in number mean? ”
Ni Tian pointed to the statue of the young man on all sides: "Let's talk about this statue, in fact, this statue is called a figurine, since ancient times, there have been princes and generals, imperial families, with figurines to accompany the burial, to protect the peace." There are many materials of funeral figurines, jade figurines, bronze figurines, stone figurines, clay figurines, and of course, the most famous is the terracotta warriors of the first emperor. But no matter what kind of material the figurines are, they all have their own special meanings, such as the terracotta warriors, it is said that they are cast according to the prototype of the most brave elite when the first emperor ruled the world, so the owner of the tomb will never make a strange-shaped figurine and place it in his tomb. ”
"There is no connection, and I didn't come to archaeology to do research, and there is no hair here, let's hurry up and continue, don't be preempted by others." Jin Buchang had already searched the tomb to the bottom, and it seemed that he still found nothing, and he was a little impatient.
I was anxious about the safety of the iron head and the pillar, and I also felt that there was really no need to think about these academic issues at this time, and urged: "Uncle Tian, now is indeed not the time to discuss this kind of issue, how should we go next." ”
Ni Tian sighed, seemed to have given up on continuing to entangle, thought for a moment, and pointed to the stone gate directly opposite: "We should be in the inner ring area of this mausoleum now, go, continue to move forward." ”
The stone door slowly opened again, and a narrow corridor appeared in front of me, and the strong flashlight shot in, but it made me stunned, although the size of the tunnel was not much different from the previous corridor, but it was extremely short, and the flashlight could be shot directly to the end.
At the end of the corridor is a huge bronze door, on which are carved a dazzling array of wolf-shaped totems. The glow of the flashlight shines through the dark corridor and shines on the bronze door, reflecting a dark green light, giving people a breathtaking feeling.
"Why is this corridor so short? Could there be any problems? I was puzzled and asked Ni Tian again.
Ni Tian also seemed to be stumped by my question, closed his eyes and entered into contemplation, while his hand kept gesturing something, looking like he was analyzing the structure of this ancient tomb.
Jin Buchang didn't have much interest in participating in this, so he took out the dragon head telescopic stick again, pouted his ass and began to probe the mechanism on the ground.
After a while, Ni Tian slowly opened his eyes, it seemed that he had already understood the mystery, and said to me with a smile: "According to the analysis of the structure of this ancient tomb just now, this ancient tomb should be composed of three ring structures, the first ear chamber we passed through is in the outer ring, and the second is in the inner ring, so behind this bronze door should be the most central main tomb chamber undoubtedly." If I'm not mistaken, the main burial chamber should be directly below the lake on the grassland, and the reason why this corridor is short is probably because I am afraid that the corridor will be too long, and it will be prone to water seepage if it takes too long. ”
Listening to Ni Tian say this, I naturally have no doubt about the length of this road, anyway, I don't care about the length of this road, the shorter the better, but it saves time. It's just that when I heard the word lake, I couldn't help but think of the four words "Tiansha Lone Star" in Lu Laodao's mouth before......
This main burial chamber now seems to be really under this lake as Lu Laodao said, and it should be the Lone Star Bureau that day. I don't know how much of Lu Laodao's attainments in feng shui are true and how much are false, but even if he only knows a little about the surface, he shouldn't make up such a murderous situation to disturb people's hearts, after all, we are still a group of people in essence.
But if this feng shui pattern is really as dangerous as Lu Laodao said, then why did the owner of this tomb choose to be buried here? Could it be that some master has a deep hatred with the owner of this tomb, and used some means to deceive the owner of this tomb to be buried here? Then this master is really a ruthless and insidious character.
I don't bother to delve into it, and thinking too much about some things will only increase my troubles, and the reason for this has nothing to do with me.
Jin Buchang has already begun to study the bronze giant gate, and it seems that there are no other organs in this short corridor, and I am also at ease. The story of Ni Tian's different head before really made me a little afraid of the mechanism of this Yongdao, not because I was afraid of death, but because I really didn't want to die.
The bronze giant gate does not seem to be as heavy as imagined, and the gold can be done without changing one person. With the roar of the bronze door slowly opening, we finally entered the heart of this grassland maze, the main burial chamber......
