Chapter 20, The Coffin,
I looked at the wall and pondered for a moment, wondering what the word "deep" meant. I don't know if it's because www.biquge.info I'm too tired or whatever, I feel very dull in my brain.
The old horse took a cigarette in his mouth and shone a searchlight into the depths, and said, "Huh? Zhou Dao, look at what is in front of you, how do I look like a person standing there. ”
When I heard Lao Ma say that there were people in the depths of this road, I immediately cheered up and asked, "Who is it, is it a monkey?" ”
Xiao Feng and I both came to the front of the old horse, and the three of us had the best look in the eyes of the old horse, I was still more than a hundred degrees of myopia, and the things that were closer looked like ordinary people, and it was a little difficult to exceed thirty or fifty meters, and in addition to the fact that this was a very lack of light in the depths of the underground, so I squinted my eyes and tried my best to focus on it, but it was still a blur.
Although Xiao Feng's eyesight is normal, he doesn't seem to see any doorway.
When the old horse heard me ask, he immediately shouted "monkey", the sound was not too loud, but it was quite clear and powerful in this environment, and it was obvious that there was no response, we tried to take a few more steps, and I could vaguely see a blurry humanoid shadow standing against the wall of the tomb in the depths, standing in a very strange posture, very unnatural, standing there stiffly, motionless, its image resembled a soldier standing guard.
The old horse seemed to see a lot more clearly: "Damn, looking at the figure, it's not a monkey, and there is no response when you shout, it shouldn't be a dead man, let's go over and have a look." ”
As he spoke, the old horse nodded his head, stretched his neck and walked in, and walked forward for a distance, and the old horse seemed to see the thing clearly: "Well, damn, it turned out to be a figurine, it seems to be a stone maid." ”
At this time, I also vaguely saw what kind of object it was, it was indeed a figurine, its proportions were no different from normal people, its image was the kind of ancient soldier in military uniform, we could see that its surface was covered with dust, we saw the back of the figurine, and wearing a helmet.
I walked to the front of the figurine, and shone it with a wolf's eye flashlight, and found that this was not the so-called figurine at all, but a living person who died in the armor, after thousands of years of dust, the face of the corpse has shown a kind of jet black, and shriveled and shrunken like the size of a fist,
In fact, it is still very cautious to suddenly encounter a corpse in this kind of party, but fortunately, we are three people now, and this is a thousand-year-old dry corpse, and the time is too long, and it is already an object in the sense, so there is no so-called fear.
"Damn, it turned out to be a guard, you can still stand even if you're dead, you're dedicated enough," the old horse tilted his neck to look at the dried corpse.
I didn't have much interest in this dried corpse, so I beckoned to go deeper, "Hey, what kind of dedication, this may be a symbol of power, this tomb owner should have been a powerful person in his lifetime, so these guard-like (real human servants) may have been deliberately placed in a specific position in a special way after they died." In ancient times, this was normal. ”
As he spoke, he continued to walk forward, the road was long, and we walked for more than twenty minutes in a dull way before we came to the end, during which we met two more (real human helpers) who were no different from the previous ones.
At the beginning, when we walked to the end of this road, the old horse was still excited, thinking that it was to the main tomb, but then took a closer look, there were too many coffins below, and there were no funeral goods on such a large scale, and it felt like it should be a funeral tomb, and the old horse was deflated again: "Go, damn it, it turned out to be a funeral tomb, it seems that it is still across the bank from the main tomb."
Our current location is located in the wall of this funeral mausoleum Yongdao hole, from the ground of the burial mausoleum below is about two meters high, the scale of this burial mausoleum is indeed very large, I don't know if our light has weakened or what the reason, to the distance, but can not see the end of the opposite side, in the air is full of gloomy atmosphere, I don't know if the coffin too many psychological reactions, this coffin one by one, heaven and earth, giving people the feeling can only be described as spectacular, The preliminary estimate is that there are not 1,000 but 800.
The old horse said, "Huh? I said, "The size of this burial mausoleum is wrong,"
I also said "um" and asked, "What, what's wrong?"
Lao Ma scratched his head and said: "This tomb owner, even if it is Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, may not have so many living people to bury him, don't you feel strange, huh?" ”
At first, I didn't think about it, as soon as the old horse said it, I swept my attention to each coffin, and found a problem in the details, that is, the huge coffin sea in front of me, I found that the left half and the right half of the coffin have a very sharp contrast, not the difference in color, but the difference in freshness, how to say it, just like in an ancient house where no one lives, the array of all kinds of furniture, half of the furniture on display is placed for ten years, half is put for two years, and now these coffins are giving me this feeling, The amount of dust accumulated on them reflects the fact that the coffins have been stored here for different periods of time.
Then as soon as I said my thoughts, Lao Ma nodded and said, "Well, this is either a family group Tibetan area, those old coffins are two thousand years old, and those fresh coffins were put in later, are the latter all members of the same clan?" ”
I nodded yes after listening, after this discussion, that's probably what happened, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something, that is, Xiao Feng said before that when he was separated from his cousin, he saw a lot of coffins, and I wondered if it would be here, if this is the case, maybe there will be a cousin's whereabouts here.
Thinking about it, I asked Xiaofeng, "Huh? Xiaofeng, you said before that you were separated from your cousin, and you saw a lot of coffins when you were unconscious, do you see this place? ”
Xiao Feng looked at it fixedly, and then shook his head again, "Well, when- I was confused, and it was just a momentary impression, good, like it wasn't here." His eyes were furrowed again, and he could tell that he was trying to remember the scene, and I didn't interrupt him, and after a while he added, "Well, at that time, I did see a lot of coffins in a blur, no, they were certainly not that large, and where there was that strong smell, Ken- it must not be here." ”
Xiao Feng said that this is the only thing he can recall, but listening to what he said, there should be a similar smaller group of Tibetan areas in other places in this ancient tomb, Lao Ma also poked forward with his nose after hearing this, sniffed a few times hard, and said: "Well, there is a stuffy smell here, what is the smell you are talking about, can you give a description, or can it be similar to any smell?"
After listening to the old horse, I felt the same way, so I looked at Xiaofeng with the old horse. Since it's a strange smell, it must be a smell that is rarely smelled or never smelled in life, but there will be something similar to him in strangeness, such as fragrant, smelly, or sour, there will always be a type.
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, paused, and said: "In this way, the taste I feel most like can only be described as a biological fragrance, and then there is a little chemical smell of irritation,"
I still had a little concept after listening to Xiaofeng, but Lao Ma woke up like a dream and said "oh", "Ah, I know, what you said, the eighty percent you smell is the smell of incense,"
Listening to Lao Ma say this, I also understood, and said that it is no wonder that they have never smelled it, in fact, in real life, most people may not have the opportunity to smell it from life to death.
