XII: Underground Palace

Just when the three of us looked at this huge sacrificial platform in amazement, suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a 'boom', if you listen to this sound alone, there is a feeling of thunder, but now it is impossible to hear the thunder, although the space here is very large, very high, but it is not more than fifty meters, and from the upper layer of the tomb to the ground is at least nearly eighty meters high, so it is impossible to hear the thunder, in other words, this rumbling sound is from other places.

But all around, the walls were all made of bronze, and there seemed to be no place to make a sound, followed by a rumbling sound a minute later.

The glasses looked at the altar and said, "The voice is coming from above, and the stupid cow goes up to take a look." ”

After saying that, the Iron Bull walked up the stairs with a sigh, and when the Iron Bull went up, he turned back and shouted, "Come and see, there is a big hole here!" ”

Hearing Tie Niu say this, the glasses asked me to carry him up to take a look, I originally wanted to sour the glasses, but think about it, forget it, after all, they saved me just now, and I won't take revenge.

I carried him to the top of the stairs with difficulty, and as soon as I reached the top, I was startled by the scene in front of me, only to see that the top of the altar was a round platform with a diameter of more than five meters, and in the middle of the round platform, there was a deep pit of nearly four meters leading to the ground, and from the last step to the edge of the big pit, it was only less than one meter wide and could barely stand people.

The glasses looked at the pit and said, "Guess where this pit leads?" ”

I lit the firefly stick that the iron bull gave me from my waist and threw it down, the firefly stick fell in the air for about a minute or so and then disappeared, seeing this, I swallowed my saliva and glanced back at my glasses with a look of fear and said: "This pit is hundreds of meters away!" And I don't know how deep it is down there. ”

The glasses looked at the deep pit and said: "It seems that this should be the passage that leads to the underground to find Qiangu as mentioned on the coffin." ”

But then a question also appeared in front of us, that is, this pit is so deep, how can those who go to find it go down? And why did thousands of people die in that corridor?

Just then, the loud rumble came again, and this time it was noticeably closer, and my glasses and I looked down at the pit almost at the same time, and it was from the bottom of the pit that I was like.

The glasses looked at me and said, "It seems that the answer to everything should be under this pit!" What do you think? Shall we go down and see what the answer is? ”

I waved my hand and said, "I don't care!" But is there any good way for you to go down? ”

The glasses smiled slightly at this time, then raised their heads to look at the oil pot above and said: "You see that the oil pot is not, the four sides of the oil pot are tied by an iron chain, and the end of the iron chain is very strangely inserted into the inside of the wall, so as far as I can see, the oil pot is the way to the bottom." ”

After saying that, the glasses began to find something around here, and I followed closely to find it on this altar, if the oil pot above is really the way to the underground, then the mechanism that was activated must be on this altar, if it is below, there is no need to spend so much manpower and material resources to build such a huge altar.

After looking for a few minutes, the glasses suddenly laughed ecstatically and said: "Haha, sure enough, I guessed correctly, these ancients really built the mechanism here, but the oil pot on it is dozens of meters large, and this hole is only a little more than four meters, how can it get in?" ”

Just when I was wondering, I walked over and pressed the mechanism down with my hand and said, "Why do you care so much, don't you know after you press it!" ”

Before the glasses could react, I pressed the mechanism down, followed by a loud 'boom', and the surrounding walls began to make huge gear sounds and chain sounds, and then four other chains appeared in the middle of the oil pot above my head, and these four chains were embedded in the middle of the chain connected to the giant oil pot, if it wasn't for the glasses to guess that the mechanism was here, I guess no one would have been able to find the chain hidden inside.

In the middle of the four chains, there is a bronze object similar to the bottom of the pot that is slowly falling, I and the glasses look at each other and smile heartily, this oil pot and the giant oil pot above completely overlap, think carefully The wisdom of the ancients is really high enough.

Soon the oil pan fell in front of us, but if you want the mechanism to stop running, you have to press it again, but once all three of us go down, no one will press on it anymore, in other words, once we reach the bottom, the upper mechanism has not stopped, it will cause these four chains to go down until there is no chain, followed by the huge force of the mechanism will break the whole mechanism, and then we will think about it again It is impossible to think about it.

The man with glasses was very self-aware, and after taking another look at himself, he patted me and shouted, "Mo Jun, you put me down first!" ”

The glasses leaned against the stairs, lying on the ground and hesitating for a moment, then took out all the equipment on his body, and handed them all to me and said meaningfully: "Let me tell you, I, Zhao Hu, have been to dozens of tombs in my life, and I have always been a pioneer, but now I know my own injuries very well, it is impossible to go down, and I don't know what is there below. I'm here to give you the wind! ”

I could tell that when I said this, I was ready to die, you know, in this kind of dangerous tomb, to stay in one place and wait for someone else is completely like waiting for death.

But there is no good way at the moment, Tie Niu and I can only leave the glasses here, but I promised the glasses, I will try to take out as many treasures as possible, and everyone will have money to make by then.

After a simple arrangement, Tie Niu and I walked into the oil pot, the inside of the oil pot was dry, the whole body was made of bronze, it looked very hard, and with the glasses pressing down the mechanism, we also began to gradually descend, and the torches in the hands of Tie Niu and I lit up the small pit.

After about a minute, we could only see the faint light at the entrance of the cave, and it was starting to get a little cold around here, the corridor had always been so big, and the walls around it were empty, and there seemed nothing strange about it.

As the time passed, about ten minutes or so, the temperature here began to become a little icy, because I was naked, so soon, I was shivering with the cold, but at this moment, there was the rumbling sound below, and it seemed that it was less than a hundred meters away from us.

However, at this time, the surrounding walls also began to become distorted, and many neatly arranged, compact, black silkworm chrysalis began to appear on the walls.

And the further down you go, the more and more walls there are, and at one point there are so many that they have begun to overlap.

Tie Niu asked me, "Mo Jun, what do you think these black things will be?" ”

After saying that, Tie Niu just wanted to poke with a machete, but I immediately stopped him with a shout: "Don't, Tie Niu, I have a feeling that these black silkworm chrysalis should be the bloodthirsty beetles that attacked us just now, so it's better not to mess with them." ”

Tie Niu was startled by me, and no longer dared to bang these black silkworm chrysalis, so after about a minute or two along the way, there were more and more silkworm chrysalis around, and even once turned a pit of more than four meters into a pit with a diameter of less than three meters, but fortunately, the oil pot was only less than two meters wide, otherwise it would have to touch these silkworm chrysalis.

As you go down, the temperature starts to get colder, and there is a pungent musty smell that gets worse and worse the further down you go.

And the air began to become thinner, and even a little hypoxic for a while, not to mention the iron bull beside him, the whole person even felt a little dizzy, but after such a long time, we still did not go down to the bottom of the road, and walked down about ten meters, I also felt a little dizzy.

At this moment, the eyes gradually began to become spacious, the claustrophobic feeling gradually disappeared, and when I went down about ten meters, the light of the torch had reached the bottom, which was only less than three meters high from us, and I hurriedly slapped the pot with the machete in my hand a few times.

The 'bell' sound was like a naturally constructed loudspeaker in this pit, and at one point Tie Niu and I even felt a little noisy, and I immediately stopped, so as not to wake up the monster sleeping here.

A few seconds later, there was a knocking sound from above, listening to this sound means that the glasses above heard the sound, and at the moment when the sound was heard, the oil pan also stopped running, and I and Tie Niu raised the torch and looked around, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal around, we jumped out of the oil pan.

As soon as I jumped to the ground, the huge rumbling sound came from about forty or fifty meters in front, and Tie Niu and I took a closer look around, and found that about five or six meters away was the wall, except for a road made of bronze pouring in front of us.

When we had walked about ten meters, Iron Bull took out a flare from his waist and fired a shot at the top, and after a shot, an astonishing scene appeared in front of our eyes.

In front of the appearance of a huge underground palace, the palace is about twenty meters high, and this road made of bronze pouring goes straight to the palace, and on the left and right sides of the passage appeared densely arranged clay figurines, these clay figurines are each vibrant, lifelike, and even look at the production level, far more than the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang hundreds of streets.

The line of sight of the flare is only so large, and it is impossible to see it further away, but what can be seen is that it is about a thousand meters or so here, and the farther place is also empty, there should still be, but at the moment we will not pull a tape measure like the archaeological team, so we don't bother to pay attention to it, but walk straight towards the palace.

Just when we just walked to the gate of the palace, suddenly, there was a scream in the palace not far in front of us, followed by a tight machine gun, I suddenly felt bad when I heard this sound, and directly rushed towards the palace, and whispered: "Iron Bull looks like there are other people in the palace, we have to hurry!" ”
