Chapter 37: The Shinto Monument

For the words of the, everyone has a kind of anger against the same enemy, but to get back to the point, we are robbing tombs, not watching tragic dramas, so I will skip the two sentences of complaining. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few of us came to the stone pile where I had stood up to block Miloga's dark arrows, and in Professor Liang's words, the only way for us to find the dungeon was to try one way at a time. Because of the failure of the compass and compass, everyone unanimously agreed with this approach, so they lifted the stones.

I went to the standing stone and tried to move it farther away, but I didn't notice it and pushed it to the ground. I cursed, and my hand probed into the stone, and suddenly I felt some dents, and when I saw it, it was actually some words. At this time, I noticed that this is actually a stone tablet under the upper circle, about one meter high, the top of the tablet is impressively carved with a frog, and the front of the monument body is deeply embossed with some vivid flowers. The body of the stele is engraved with the old version of the ancient Zhuang characters. The strange thing is that the lower section of the stele is actually a broken section, and it seems that someone moved this stele here.

I shouted to the people next to me, "Come here, there's a monument here." ”

Professor Liang came over and took a picture of the tablet and said, "This is a Shinto tablet, a stone tablet that records the life deeds of the deceased standing in front of the tomb. With this thing, it is not difficult to see who the owner of the tomb is. Autumn water, you see. ”

Qiu Shui glanced at the Shinto tablet and said, "It is recorded above that this person named Yihu Song was once the monarch of Xiou during his lifetime, and later unfortunately died on the battlefield, so his people built this immortal palace for him. Qiushui paused, then glanced at me and said, "This Shinto monument was erected by a man named Anliang in 215 BC. ”

The laughed and looked at me, "Enron, your own family." But this is strange, this translation of the Song Dynasty is the monarch, the mausoleum must be very luxurious, you see where we come in? The swallowed and continued: "To put it bluntly, it's just a cave, and this cave is natural, and the person who built the tomb just gave it a half-processing, what is this called?" ”

Professor Liang knocked the on the head and said angrily, "I said that you kid read this book in vain, right?" This is a cave burial, which is of course somewhat different from the traditional tombs of the Han people. In the pre-Qin period, cave burials were popular in some places such as Luoyue and Xiou, and according to the time recorded in this Shinto tablet, although it was later, it did not prevent them from building this form of mausoleum. ”

Qiushui looked at the passage behind the stone pile and said, "What the said is right, judging from the current situation, there is indeed some chaos in this tomb. But it is very likely that there is some reason why the construction was not completed. We still have to go through this tomb to understand the situation. ”

As soon as Qiushui finished speaking, several people began to pound the stones again, and after all the stones were cleared, a small section of stones protruded from the ground, and I compared them with the Shinto monument, and found that it was of general size.

We had been in the passage for less than ten minutes when we came to a stone gate. This door is about five meters high and three meters wide, and the door is full of exquisite floral reliefs, which is very magnificent.

On the left and right sides of this gate, there are two statues, about one meter high, I went up and touched them, and found that they were bronze. This statue has a human face, four big eyes are glaring ahead, and its mouth shows six fangs like tiger teeth, the image is very hideous, and I don't know what kind of monster it is.

"It's gluttony." Qiushui walked up to me and whispered.

When the heard this, he also came over: "Gluttony, I know, isn't it the fierce beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas, it is said to be very ferocious." But how did this thing end up here? ”

As soon as the said this, I reacted, and legend has it that this gluttony is one of the four fierce beasts of the Yaoshun period, and Hun Dun, Qi Qi, and Han Qi are listed as the four fierce beasts, and they are really the products of the Central Plains. Could it be that when the tomb was built, the culture of the Central Plains had penetrated into the indigenous peoples of the south? But judging from the documentary records, it is almost unlikely, the Qin Dynasty recovered Baiyue County in 214 BC, when the tomb had already been built, even if it was to integrate into the Han culture, it would take time. And it is unbelievable that gluttony appears here as a tomb beast.

On the other hand, the stared at the tomb beast intently, as if he also had a lot of questions, and sure enough, he suddenly said: "This tomb beast is a little useless, An Ran, you go and touch its mouth." ”

I was stunned, thinking to myself what to do with its mouth, this gluttony looks fierce and vicious, even the statue I am a little afraid. But after thinking about it, although this is usually not in shape, it is impossible to tease me for no reason, there must be something wrong. I suddenly remembered a movie I watched a long time ago, in which some kind of mysterious mechanism was rendered, and the trigger button of the mechanism was actually a ball in the mouth of the stone lion, could this door also be opened in this way?

I walked to the statue on the other side, and was about to touch the gluttonous mouth, when suddenly, Qiushui shouted, "Don't move." ”

I looked at him and saw that he frowned, as if he had a sense of oppression from the enemy. When I withdrew my hand, the cried and said, "I said, boss, you didn't say it earlier, my hand has already reached in, and I have touched a small ball, what should I do?" ”

Professor Liang immediately glared at the and scolded angrily, "You kid, you said that you owe that hand, can you touch this thing casually?" Do you understand the organs? You said that you didn't harm us enough, and now you still put yourself in, it's really stupid, why did I bring you here. ”

Professor Liang's angry face suddenly turned blue and white, and he looked like he hated iron but not steel. After scolding the, he turned to Qiushui and said, "Qiushao, what now?" ”

"Go with the flow. Touch it, touch it, retreat outside, I'll see. After Qiushui finished speaking, he walked up to me, and then waved his hand, signaling us to retreat.

Although I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the autumn water hyacinth, I always felt that he should touch the gluttony, so I said, "Do you want to touch it too?" Didn't you say that there was a mechanism? ”

Qiushui said "um", and then glanced at Qiuyi, who immediately came over and grabbed my wrist, and then dragged it all the way. This woman's strength is really not covered, I am such a big man, and I have no power to resist when I am dragged by her.

After we walked about ten meters, I looked back and saw that the autumn water had already put his hand into the gluttony. I suddenly shuddered, with a large cold sweat on my forehead, and I didn't know what was going to happen next. I saw that the two of them twitched, and then pulled out their hands, and at the same time, the door suddenly "clicked", and many black round holes suddenly appeared in the originally dense door body, and in an instant, a rain of arrows shot out.
