Chapter 11: The Grave

There are two smells in the air, one fishy and one foul. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I grabbed a handful of dirt from the entrance of the cave and twisted it in my hand, and between my fingers I could clearly feel particles of different sizes. I looked down at the rest of the soil in my hand, which was basically black and yellow, but if you looked closely, it was not difficult to see that the black and yellow were mixed with some bright red. I immediately raised my fingers to the tip of my nose and took a few breaths before a foul smell hit my head.

At this time, I already have a bottom in my heart, and as for how this black qi was formed, I can almost judge it. Let's talk about the two smells in the air, one is the red particles emitted between my fingers, and it is not difficult to distinguish this kind of thing from the smell and shape, which is cinnabar, that is, the cinnabar in the mouth of traditional Chinese medicine. As for the other fishy smell, it is different from the seay smell of food, but it is slightly pungent, and even when inhaled into the stomach, it will have a faint pain.

I lowered my eyes and thought for a long time, the only thing in this world that can emit this pungent fishy smell is mercury.

Cinnabar and mercury are both highly toxic, and the toxicity is equivalent to crane top red and arsenic. The blending of the two, coupled with the poisonous barrier inside the tomb, turned these three things into highly toxic substances in a thousand years. And the smell outside the tomb is so big, if you really go to the mausoleum, you still have it!

"Comrade Shanshui, I said you can't think of a way?" Yu Houtu asked suddenly.

I bowed my head and didn't speak, and the cinnabar and mercury were only my preliminary guesses, and no one could make any assertions if they didn't enter the tomb. But now that I know the patient's symptoms, it's time for me, the doctor, to prescribe the medicine.

I opened the wooden box that I was carrying cross-body around my waist, and it contained the guys who had traveled all his life to the north and south. The wooden box is divided into two layers, and can be opened on both the left and right sides. The overall space is quite large, and you can see it as long as it is a device that is related to traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, I have paid attention to the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and when I treat people in the medicine hall, I am also half Chinese medicine and half Western medicine. But my old man is different, he is an authentic Chinese medicine practitioner, and the wooden box is full of pure and pure Chinese medicine utensils.

I took out a three-inch-long silver needle from the wooden box and plunged it into the back of my head as everyone looked at me suspiciously.

"I said Comrade Shanshui, even if you can't think of a way, you can't torture yourself, right?" Yu Houtu swallowed as he spoke.

"He's not torturing himself, he's closing his sense of smell." Sun Da looked at the silver needle in my hand and said.

Sun Da's words directly pulled my eyes to him, but I didn't expect that the rough man in front of me turned out to be an expert.

That's right, I was just sealing off my sense of smell, and I pierced the back of my head directly into the Juyang acupoint in the back of my head. The Juyang acupoint is in the middle of the two neck tendons on the back of the human head, and it is the place where the yang is gathered to drive away the yin. The Juyang acupoint connects all the meridians on the human brain, and after being pressured by external objects, it will temporarily block the sense of smell.

But this is just a matter of covering your ears and stealing the bell, and it does not mean that you can ignore the poisonous gas in the tomb after closing your sense of smell. Because it's only the sense of smell that is closed, unless you don't breathe, or whether you use your mouth or nose you will always inhale the poisonous gas from the tomb into your body.

The reason why I closed my sense of smell is also so that I can go down to the tomb without interference, otherwise the smell of the whole tomb will definitely affect our physical sensitivity.

I used the silver needle to seal the sense of smell of Yu Houtu and the others one by one, and then turned around and took out a small box from the wooden box. When the small box was opened, there was a ball of cotton inside, and when the cotton was opened, there were several round pills in the middle.

I don't know what the name of the pill is, but I remember that when the old man was still there, he usually called it the antidote pill. This detoxification pill was made by the old man who studied the gourd painting when I came, and it was made by grinding it with more than a dozen flavors of detoxification Chinese medicine. Because of its special utility, its storage conditions are also harsh, and I can only wrap it in layers with a thermostatic object. This is also the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, and to be honest, I don't have a score in my heart. But anyway, there is only one way now, and whether it will work or not can only be known after trying.

I handed out the antidote pills to everyone one by one, and everyone except Yu Houtu swallowed them with their necks up.

"Zhang Shanshui, it's not that I said you, when did you get this feudal superstition?" Yu Houtu looked at the antidote pill in his hand for a long time and couldn't take his mouth: "Are you sure this thing really can't eat the dead?"

"Hey, hey!" Wang Lei walked over and laughed twice and said, "Then if you don't eat it, give it to me, my skin is rough and my flesh is not too dirty!"

"I want to be beautiful to you!" Yu Houtu didn't chew it, so he swallowed the antidote pill with a grunt.

"It's getting late, and it's time for us to get down to business." Wang Meng took a sapper shovel with a cold face and went into the robbery hole.

Wang Meng is worthy of being the descendant of Wang Yazi, and his ability to walk on the soil is really not covered, and after a few crackling sounds in the thief hole, he heard the sound of Wang Meng's feet on the ground.

The second one to go down was Sun Da, and then Sanniang also fell to the ground of the mausoleum along the rope. Wang Lei waved the shovel in his hand and pointed to the thief cave to signal himself to take a step first, and I followed Wang Lei to the entrance of the thief cave. As I approached, I touched the sapper shovel on my leg and wrist, still feeling nervous and panicked, and then put my hand on my waist, and when I came into contact with a cold, my heart slowly settled. After Yu Houtu's last hall, I heard a "Gada" sound on my front foot before I came in with my back foot, and Yu Houtu then fell to the ground.

We are not worried that such a big thief hole will be discovered by others, and the Wang brothers have surveyed the surrounding environment long ago. On the south side of the hill, there was not a single house as far as the eye could see, but only patches of wasteland, and the crows on the trees crowed twice from time to time, and the timid ones were afraid that they would be frightened before they could see the entrance of the cave. Besides, who would be idle and idle to wander around this place where birds don't.

After all six of us entered the mausoleum, we found out what it means to reach out and not see five fingers. If our visibility from the outside is five meters, then inside this tomb we can only see within three meters at most.

As a result of the preparations made in advance, the fishy smell seemed to disappear after entering the mausoleum. None of us spoke, and we were all calming our hearts at this moment. I closed my eyes and opened them again, and it was really difficult for me to adapt to the environment in the tomb when I suddenly came in from outside.

At this time, I could only see Wang Lei squirming his fat body in front of me, and then a strong light shone out from behind me.

It turned out that Yu Houtu turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, and the strap of the flashlight was tied to his head. The flashlight is very bright, especially in the dark mausoleum, which allows us to see the entire tomb entrance clearly.

The entrance to the tomb is just like a real-life hallway, except that it is sealed all around. Wang Meng was right, there was nothing in the entire tomb entrance except for the murals on the left and right sides. The whole is a rectangle, about five meters wide, and as for the length, even the wolf's eye flashlight on Yu Houtu's head can't shine on his head.

"Don't touch anything inside after you enter the tomb." Wang Meng leaned over and took a few steps forward.

We followed behind Wang Meng, and the formation followed in the same order as when we came. As I walked along the formation, I looked at the murals on the left and right, and I wondered what kind of paint was used, but it was still vivid after thousands of years. Every stroke on the wall seems to be alive, with characters and scenes, which makes people feel as if they are in it at a glance.

While I lamented the wisdom of the ancients, time passed quietly unconsciously, I don't know how long we have been gone, I just feel that my body is stiff and painful. I straightened up first, twisted my neck from side to side and made a "click" sound.

"Comrade Shanshui, didn't you notice anything wrong?" Yu Houtu stopped and looked at me blankly.

I moved my body and said, "Your condition is explained by Western medicine as a fear of going to the grave, but in our Chinese medicine we think it is hysteria and evil ......" I paused for a while and pointed to the door of my brain and said, "My brain has fallen off."

"You don't believe in the judgment of a revolutionary soldier, and it's not a big deal to put a counter-revolutionary label on you." Not to be outdone, Yu Houtu replied a few words, and the two of us caught up with Wang Meng and the others in front of us in a war of words.

There is an unwritten rule that no one can wear anything electronic as long as they enter the tomb. One is to affect the magnetic field, when the nearby magnetic field changes, it can change the pattern of the entire mausoleum. At least encounter some unbelievable things or things, and at worst, it can even trap people in it for the rest of their lives. As for these two, even if you are completely high-tech in this mausoleum, you will lose your life. The absence of signal is one of them, and the second is that even the most basic function will be lost.

Before going to the tomb, I put my mobile phone in Wang Lei's big jeep, and when I left, I deliberately looked at the time at about half past one. There is no time in the tomb now, but I guess we should have an hour to go down to the tomb.

We didn't even reach the end of the grave crossing for an hour, which was really not right.

"Wait!" Wang Meng, who was in the head, suddenly stood up. There was darkness ahead, and the flashlight on Yu Houtu's head gradually dimmed with the passage of time. Wang Meng stared ahead for a long time, and then a frightened expression appeared on his face: "Run back!"

Yu Houtu, as the last one at the bottom, turned around and ran, but before his feet touched the entrance of the tomb, a shower of arrows shot out!

Yu Houtu didn't panic at that time, and the soles of his feet turned around and folded back.

"You fucking want to kill the master!" Looking at the arrows all over the ground, Yu Houtu was afraid for a while, and if he was half a beat slower, he would probably be able to shoot himself into a hedgehog.

Wang Meng didn't speak, his eyes kept looking up at the top of the tomb. I followed his gaze and looked up, and the original pure blue green stone tile now has an additional mural, a mural that we have never seen before.
