Chapter 33: The Murals
Itachi nodded, and commanded one of the members behind him, who pulled out a birdcage from his baggage, and inside was a wild sparrow that was jumping around. At this time www.biquge.info someone brought a slender rope and tied it to the hook at the top of the birdcage, and put the birdcage into the secret passage of the sarcophagus.
Not long after, the birdcage tied to the rope fell to the ground of the dark passage, everyone waited patiently on it for a few minutes, the third uncle saw that it was almost over, so he ordered someone to pull the birdcage up, and looked, the wild sparrows inside were still alive and kicking, it was obvious that the air quality in the dark passage was not a problem.
The third uncle put his mind at ease, turned around and ordered: "You fix the rope ladder, and we will go down immediately." Glancing at the closed door of the stone room, the third uncle said again: "After we leave, leave two people to blast the stone door, in case something happens, we can leave here as soon as possible." ”
Tie the rope ladder firmly to the coffin, and under the leadership of the board inch, everyone climbed into the sarcophagus in turn.
The third uncle originally thought that this passage was only more than 20 meters deep, but after entering, he found that this passage was actually more than 40 meters deep, but because the material of the four walls of the passage was a black stone, which had a strong light-absorbing effect, it would make people think it was very shallow.
It only took a few minutes for all the thirty or so people to descend to the bottom of the passage, and below was a huge stone cave, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was an underground canyon.
The height of this huge cavern is not uniform, so is the width, there are no signs of artificial excavation on it, and it is clear that it is a naturally occurring underground valley.
The current position of the people is at the end of the valley behind them, and there is a path in front of them that leads to the depths, because the valley is not straight, so they can't see how long this valley is.
The third uncle was also frightened by Liu Bowen's various organs, and warned the crowd: "You have also seen Liu Bowen's methods, this valley looks plain on the surface, but in fact, no one can say whether it will hide organs, and when it passes for a while, everyone's eyes will be polished for me." ”
Everyone nodded, the third uncle beckoned, and everyone began to walk into the underground valley that did not know the depth.
The rock formations on the four walls of the valley are the same as the passage when you come down, and you will feel an inexplicable sense of depression when you walk in them. Although the slope on the ground of the valley is sometimes high and sometimes low, the ground is very flat, and there is not even a single protruding stone, which should be a simple treatment done by the owner of the tomb when building the mausoleum.
Everyone walked cautiously for more than ten minutes, and began to encounter the first turn, maybe the mountain wall here is relatively loose, so there are a lot of falling gravel on the ground, but it is not enough to not be able to leave.
There is still a long valley behind the bend, and the geological structure here must be different from the previous section of the road, because the third uncle found that water droplets would fall from time to time on the rock formations above his head and on both sides, and farther ahead, stalactites of different sizes had appeared on the top of his head.
The ground under your feet is wet, although the air quality in the crypt is fine, but it always reveals a damp smell, and from time to time there is a cool breeze blowing out, plus it is the beginning of spring, the temperature is originally very low, so everyone feels cold all over.
Fortunately, this section of the journey was not long, and after about half an hour, everyone finally saw the end of the valley, where there was a huge stone platform that was twenty meters wide and long, and it was about twenty meters high from the place where everyone was, and there was a repaired staircase leading straight down.
The platform was empty, except for a round shape placed in the four corners, which looked not small, and I don't know what it was. And the left and right direction of the platform is the mountain wall, and there are many reliefs carved on it, there are reliefs mainly for people, and there are also reliefs of birds and beasts, the number is very large, at least hundreds of numbers.
A subordinate who knew more about antiquities seemed to see something from the relief, and he said to everyone: "It seems that the identity of the owner of this tomb is extremely high, and you can see that the chariot and horse honor guard of the tomb owner in the relief are all four horses, and he must have been a prince during his lifetime. ”
Ban Cuntou sneered: "Don't come to sell your book knowledge, call him a guard of honor for a few horses, call him the princes of Laoshizi, now he is just a pile of bones, no matter how great he is, he is just a zombie." ”
The subordinate smiled wryly and echoed: "What the fourth master said is right, what he said is right!" What is there to study for a dead man. ”
The third uncle glanced over the murals and looked at the front of the stone platform, where there seemed to be a huge stone staircase, which led straight to the bottom, and the third uncle guessed that it should be the place where the tomb owner placed the coffin.
After talking for a while, they went down the stone stairs at their feet, and after a while, they went down to the platform, and at this time everyone also saw that the round objects placed in the four corners of the platform were actually bronze tripods.
The third uncle walked to the nearest bronze tripod to look at it, the bronze tripod is about one meter two three high, flat round, three-legged, the mouth of the tripod is covered with a lid, there are two ears on the left and right, and the tripod has a staggered pattern, which looks like a dragon-shaped pattern.
Although the third uncle has robbed a lot of tombs, but he does not have much knowledge of ancient cultural relics, if it were not for Liu Bowen in the epitaph has told that this is a Warring States tomb, judging from the characteristics of this bronze tripod alone, he really can't see the sense of age.
The subordinate who knows more about antiquities is called Li Wu, he touched the lines of the bronze tripod, and committed the old addiction of selling knowledge, and couldn't help but introduce the third uncle excitedly: "Liu Bowen didn't lie to us, this is indeed an ancient tomb in the Warring States Period, the dragon pattern on the bronze tripod, as well as the shape, are in line with the style of that period, it is really exquisite." ”
The third uncle didn't know the psychological state of a person who loved antiquities very much, and seeing the excited look on his subordinate's face, he just said "oh" and then prepared to go to other places to see.
Halfway through, he suddenly heard the exclamation of his subordinates behind him, as if he had found something amazing, the third uncle was also a little surprised, so he stopped and looked back, and found that the main thing was the bancuntou, and everyone was looking at something on the mountain wall on the left, he thought to himself that there should be something strange recorded on the murals, but he had seen too many of these things, and he had long been accustomed to them, so he didn't take them to heart.
But at this moment, the subordinate named Li Wu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Something is wrong, how can there be characters characteristic of the Ming Dynasty on the reliefs of this Warring States Ancient Tomb?" ”
I only heard Ban Cuntou laugh and scolded: "What are you fussing about, since Liu Bowen has been here, these reliefs from the Ming Dynasty must have been added by him later, and I don't understand, you still study cultural relics." ”
The third uncle listened to the conversation between the two sides, basically understood the reason, and also recognized the idea of Ban Cuntou very much, and felt that Li Wu was a little too stupid, and he couldn't even think of such a simple truth, and he was shocked.
But this matter is not over, at the moment when the third uncle turned his head, a sudden scream came from Ban Cuntou's side, and then he heard Ban Cuntou shout in shock: "Everyone stay away from the mural, this relief is alive!" ”
The third uncle secretly screamed in his heart, and immediately looked again, and saw that Ban Cuntou and the others began to quickly retreat to his side, and two of his subordinates were attacked fiercely, one of his right arm was broken at the root, and he kept screaming, while the other seemed to be dead, and the body was leaning against the wall of the mural, and there was already a pool of blood on the ground.
What's even more incredible is that the Ming Dynasty guards who were originally carved on the stone wall actually came to life at this moment, they were getting out of the stone wall, and seven or eight came down one after another, which was obviously not a stone man like a stone man, but a zombie, a zombie who came out of the stone wall!
Several members of the team reacted half a beat slowly, and were unfortunately intercepted by those zombies on the way to escape, and the result was conceivable, and they all died at the hands of those zombies. It is precisely because of the death of these people that the zombies did not chase after them immediately, but sent the stumps and severed arms of the deceased into their mouths one by one, and the picture looked shocking.
Soon, everyone rushed to the third uncle, and took out their guns to aim at the zombies in front of them, just waiting for the third uncle to give an order, they would shoot.
The third uncle said to everyone with a miserable face: "This Liu Bowen is really insidious, deliberately hiding different styles of Ming Dynasty zombies in the reliefs of the Warring States Period, so as to attract the attention of tomb robbers, but its real purpose is to use the yang energy on the onlookers to resurrect those zombies, so that those zombies can suddenly kill and make people unguardable." ”
Ban Cuntou scolded angrily: "That's right! If I hadn't been interested in those reliefs, and I hadn't been too close, I might have been plagued by those zombies by now. ”
There were a total of nine zombies walking down from the stone wall, perhaps it was the breath of the living that made them more interested, and some of the zombies had now walked towards the third uncle and the others step by step, and their mouths were even more strange from time to time and spit out a few mouthfuls of black gas, and everyone who watched subconsciously wanted to retreat back.
For the third uncle and Ban Cuntou, I don't know how many times I have experienced a scene like this, so I can't talk about shock or fear at all, it's more of a defensive psychology, but the concentration of other people is not so good, and there are a few subordinates who went to the tomb for the first time, and their mouths have already made a hissing inhalation sound, and more people have bloodless faces and exclamations in their mouths.
Ban Cuntou glanced at the people around him, and immediately scolded angrily: "He's a good woman, isn't he just a bone frame that has been dead for hundreds of years, as for scaring you into such virtue!" (To be continued.) )
