Chapter Forty-Seven: Passing By
The knocker is a circle, and in the middle of the circle there is a black pattern that looks like a dragon and not a dragon, and looks like a beast but not a beast, and the head and tail of this thing are wound into a circle, and the end is connected.
From the head alone, it looks a bit like a cow, but the horns on the head are extremely exaggerated and look like dragons, with a slender body and no limbs, this pattern is not the first time in Ye Qiu's mind, he has seen it in another place.
The world beneath the Rotham is a huge treasure trove, and the Romans of all dynasties are responsible for collecting the most amazing artifacts in the world.
If you want to compare with the underground palace of Luomen, the Forbidden City is really a small thing, but even in Luomen, the underground palace is also a forbidden place, and there are very few people who can enter the Luomen underground palace to see the true face, and Ye Qiu happens to be one of them.
The entire three-story underground palace has almost hollowed out the surrounding mountains, and is said to have been built according to the standards for withstanding a nuclear attack.
The dungeon on the third floor is the most mysterious, and the opening of the dungeon uses the pattern he saw today.
Ye Qiu had never gone down to the third layer, although he was silent, but he was not stupid, listening to the people there, the third layer of the underground palace was not put in the utensils or gold and silver, but some of the most dangerous existences, as for what it was, it was unknown.
Seeing this sign is like seeing a skull mark, which represents danger and fear.
It's a pity that the fat man is not a person who gives up easily, not to mention that now Ye Qiu came in at the risk of his life, the treasures that are close at hand seem to be at your fingertips, if you want him to give up, you can only say that it is not a fat man.
"Second brother, I can't be scared back by such a thing, when I was in Xi'an, I saw many tombs with such things, and there was even a curse tablet with inscriptions placed there. Those who do this business only believe in money, and if they are so timid that they are scared back with a knocker, then there is no need to mention mixing in this business. ”
What the fat man said was also true, in order to prevent tomb robbers, the ancient Chinese who prevailed in the style of thick burials racked their brains, from traps to poisons and poisonous insects, from cursed legends to witchcraft and ghost arts, whether it was psychological defense or physical defense, the ancients had exhausted their methods.
The so-called, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, these tomb robbers in order to achieve the goal is to try their best, and even formed their own sects and unique secret methods, even now, there are still southern and northern factions in the Chinese tomb robbery world, respectively, representing the flow of skillful skills and the flow of skillful power.
The fat man followed the tomb robber Ding family in Guanzhong, although he was the most inferior in the division of labor, but he had a smart brain and a good memory, and he could learn what others were doing by listening and watching it on the side.
The tomb robbery school in this pass is the representative of the northern school, and they are good at using tools, such as the Luoyang shovel, which they invented, and in modern times, they have taken the use of gunpowder to the extreme.
The tomb robbers of the northern faction are not as particular as those of the southern faction, what is taken, the ancient tombs that have been patronized by them have always been completely clean, as long as they can sell them for money, including the dead corpses, they dare to dig them out.
Perhaps it was because of the difference in these experiences that the fat man did not follow Ye Qiu's intuition too deliberately this time, so when he decided to go in and take a look, Ye Qiu could only remain silent.
Crossing this door, there is another corridor appearing, but there are some square-shaped stone slabs on the ground in addition to silt, and there are trays on the walls on both sides of the corridor every five steps or so, and a woman-like sculpture holds a plate in her hand and holds it high, and the woman's head is all broken.
The fat man looked at the exquisitely shaped candlestick, touching the broken part of the woman's neck with his hand, rough and uneven, and he said to Ye Qiu: "What a strange candlestick, it looks like it was cut off by external force after it was successfully cast. ”
After looking at several in succession, they were all the same, the candlesticks were long gone, the blackened trays were tinged with the patina of time, and you can imagine what the end of a dim and narrow corridor would look like if the lamps were still on.
The fat man still wanted to move forward, but Ye Qiu once again grabbed the corner of the fat man's clothes, the fat man turned around, and Ye Qiu shook his head slowly.
"What's wrong, dick?"
"Let's go back."
"No kidding, it's not easy to open that door once, do you just give up?"
The fat man pointed to the oil lamp on the road and said: "Look at these things, they are so magnificent, I guess we will soon go to the apse, we are not greedy, just pick a few and leave, it will really be fine." ”
"Don't really go any further, let's go."
Ye Qiu once again made a request to the fat man, he seemed to be very scared, afraid of the front, and the fat man read the fear in his eyes.
Ye Qiu was actually afraid?
Seeing that man's face was slightly pale, and there was no longer the heroism of the past between his eyebrows, what was he afraid of?
"Okay,"
The fat man sighed and said, "Forget it, go back and continue to make do with pickles and steamed buns, it's more difficult to get you two to follow me into the water than to ascend to the sky." ”
Saying that, he turned around and turned back, the two of them are now only five steps apart, maybe they are unwilling, maybe they are venting, the fat man turned around and came back when he gently patted the oil lamp on the wall with his hand, only to listen to the "click"
With a sound, the fat man was suddenly shocked and sweated and asked, "What is it, what sound?" ”
"Run!"
Ye Qiu roared, but at this time, there was a huge "boom" in the fat man's ears
sound, he and Ye Qiu were close at hand, and he also saw Ye Qiu talking to him, but the fat man couldn't hear anything.
"What?"
Ye Qiu stepped forward and grabbed the fat man's head and shouted without looking back: "Run!" ”
Run, run desperately, the fat man only heard the voice behind him getting closer and louder and louder, and the yellow mud under his feet was particularly slippery, and the space was small, and it was difficult for two men to spread out together.
Taking advantage of Ye Qiu's first exit from the white jade gate, the fat man turned his head back and glanced at it, and immediately gasped and shouted: "I'm a mother, this is the life of Lao Tzu!" ”
I saw a huge stone ball coming out of nowhere, rushing quickly towards the two of them along the road, the stone ball was similar to the width of the road, and it was downhill, and the speed of rolling up was getting faster and faster.
It is very common to encounter mechanisms in the tomb, there are fire oil, crossbow arrows, quicksand, and there are such rolling stones, many tomb robbers are those old organs that died thousands of years ago, as long as the design is clever enough, the firing device can still be used normally after thousands of years, presumably it was the fat man's own hand that touched the stone ball.
Ye Qiu's speed was really fast, and the two of them rushed out of the door one after the other, but as soon as they got outside, they were dumbfounded, and the broken dragon stone was horizontal, so they listened to the "huh" inside
With a bang, it must be that the white jade door that the fat man was thinking about had been smashed, "boom"
The sound continued to walk out, and at this time it was only possible to pray.
"One person on the side, quick!"
Ye Qiu turned around and pressed his arms out against the wall, even his face turned sideways.
The fat man hurriedly followed his appearance on the other side, this bet is luck, see which side this stone ball will smash when it rushes out, Ye Qiu's arrangement is very reasonable, if something really happens, at least one of them is guaranteed to be alive, as long as he is alive, there is still hope, and this outermost space is much more spacious than Yongdao.
With his eyes closed, he waited for that moment to come, at that moment, the fat man regretted it, but is it too late to regret it now?
At that moment, the fat man heard a huge crash, followed by a "pop" of rubble flying all over the sky
sound, except that he was splashed by small pebbles, he seemed to be still alive...... "Alive,"
The fat man turned around slowly, and the place where the miner's lamp swept was all confused, and the dust raised by the impact suddenly plunged the small room into chaos.
Since he is fine, is Ye Qiu?
"Dick! Dick! ”
The fat man hurriedly rushed to the other side, "Where are you second, second brother, you are talking!" ”
"I'm here, I'm still ......"
It was Ye Qiu, the fat man heard that he was very weak in his words, and sure enough, after a period of groping, the fat man found Ye Qiu who was leaning on the ground, he was holding his left arm and panting heavily, in addition to looking a little embarrassed, the parts on his body were still there, the fat man squatted down and hugged him in his arms: "Haha, haha, great, it's really good that you're fine!" ”
Later, it wasn't until the smoke cleared that the fat man knew how close Ye Qiu was to death just now, and just took a step forward where Ye Qiu was sticking to the wall, and the wall was smashed out of a pit the size of a basketball by a boulder.
The boulder hit it and then folded, and continued to roll forward until it hit the guillotine.
Ye Qiu was hit by the fragments from the first rebound on his left arm, a bloody wound about the length of his middle finger, but fortunately, it was only a skin injury, not a bone injury.
Looking at the huge impact point, and then seeing that the guillotine stone outside had collapsed, the place where the stone ball finally stopped was actually the bottom of the pit where they entered, and the huge impact force shattered the thousand-pound stone door, how much power can this be done.
In fact, they later learned that it was not an ordinary stone ball at all, but an object much harder than a stone, and in Cha Wenbin's words, the two of them had just come out of the coffin and couldn't wait to go to the Hades Palace again.
After such a toss, the fat man suddenly lost the mind to continue to visit, and looked at the "Zun" that was smashed by the stone ball.
, he was a little distressed and a little afraid.
Seeing that he was holding the bronze fragment in his hand, Ye Qiu asked, "Do you still want to go?" ”
"Hey, I can't help it when I encounter this kind of black kiln, either find someone or pull it down."
The black kiln refers to a very dangerous ancient tomb, and some veterans in the northern faction will weigh their own craftsmanship when they encounter this kind of cave that wants to eat people, and judge that those who can't break through are usually withdrawn, either sell this point to someone who is more skilled than themselves, or simply consider themselves unlucky.
"It's a pity, such a nest must be able to make a fortune, my fat master is really guarding a vault without a key!"
"If you really want to get it, you can go to him and try it out, he knows more than I do."
"Who, you said to look for Cha Ye, forget it, how can that person be willing to help me do this, if he doesn't scold me, it's light......"
Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, "No, if you believe me, he will definitely come!" ”
