Chapter 21: Human Sacrifice
The group returned to the first burial chamber. "Huh? Where did the aisle go. Yu Fei, who was walking in front of Luo Zi, found that the arch that was supposed to be connected to the aisle had now become a stone wall.
"What?" Ding Laosan, who was walking last, rushed to the front, he walked to the stone wall and knocked around, "Damn! When did this door close, it seems that this bird mongrel is trying to trap us in it. Ding Laosan scolded.
"Third master, just blow this door open with explosives!" The old ghost said as he began to rummage through the explosives in his bag.
"You've got water in your head! The explosives that could blow up this stone door would have blown up the tomb long ago. Let's look for it first and see if there is a mechanism in here that can open this stone door. With that, Ding Laosan groped around the walls of the tomb.
After looking for a long time, but didn't find the mechanism, Ding Laosan suddenly thought that the mantis was still outside, and he could let him open the stone door from the outside, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to dial the mantis. "Damn, no signal!" Ding Laosan scolded.
At this time, Ye Lao said: "Third child, don't bother, the owner of this tomb seems to have no intention of opening this door again." However, since this tomb is buried on the Taiji acupoint, if he wants to use the qi veins of this Taiji acupoint, it can't be a dead hole, there must be another outlet. ”
Ding Laosan saw that there was no other way, so he had to lead everyone back. As he walked, he said: "It seems that we have to break into these seven palaces." Hum! Since this bird mongrel won't let us go, then I'm going to turn you upside down. ”
Yu Fei asked on the side, "What is the Seventh Palace?" ”
Ye Lao said: "The seven palaces mentioned by Taoism actually refer to seven connected palaces, and in this tomb, it refers to seven connected different tombs. ”
"What! Seven burial chambers? When Yu Fei heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "I have only passed through two tombs, and everyone is almost half dead, and there are five rooms in front, how can I get through it." ”
Ding Laosan seemed to see his thoughts, smiled hehe, and said: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I, Ding Laosan, am not a vegetarian, not to mention that there is a second brother here, even if it is the tiger's den Longtan, I have to stir it up." ”
Ye Lao also opened his mouth to comfort: "Brother Yu, since you are here, let it be natural and be at peace with what happens." Now, we have to break through. ”
Yu Fei thought about it, it was not a way to spend it here, so he had to help Luo Zi and follow behind.
Everyone walked all the way to the end of the second tomb, and Yu Fei found that on the wall at the end of the second tomb, there was also a cyan stone slab more than one person high. After a few moments, the slab slowly rose up, and another arch appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's strange, how can the mechanism of the stone door in this tomb be so simple? It's not at all like a layout master. Ding Laosan said to himself suspiciously. But without much thought, they stepped over the arch and entered the third chamber.
As soon as they stepped into this tomb, everyone saw an extremely terrifying scene, only to see that the entire tomb was full of humanoid bones, and Yu Fei's scalp was numb.
"It's a fucking mass grave!" Luo Zi was also dumbfounded.
Look closely at the skeletons, in various forms, some with open mouths, as if a frightened expression; Some lie on the wall and make a posture of climbing up; Many of them crowded into the archway, their hands outstretched, as if they wanted to get out of here.
Ye Lao opened his mouth and said slowly: "Third child, this looks like a living altar." ”
"Damn, this bird mongrel, he actually used so many living people to pay tribute, what kind of evil character is he." In such a scene, Ding Laosan also gasped. Ding Laosan once dug the tomb of an ancient cult, and the 'soul bead' was obtained in that tomb, and he had also seen the altar of the living in it, but the scene in front of him was far from being comparable to that time.
This burial chamber, in fact, to be precise, should be four burial chambers connected together, and between each burial chamber, there is a huge arch, which occupies almost two-thirds of the area of the wall. The entire burial chamber is rectangular in shape, and as far as the eye can see, there are probably hundreds of skeletons.
"I don't think this is necessarily an altar, I think the owner of this tomb may have wanted to prevent someone from leaking the location of his tomb, so he gathered the builders of this tomb together and killed them, Qin Shi Huang didn't do this back then. It's just that I don't know what method he used to kill so many people at once, and there shouldn't have been poison gas at that time. Yu Fei expressed his analysis.
Ding Laosan said: "Anyway, everyone be careful, old ghost, you go find something to resist this stone gate first, don't let it close again." ”
The old ghost turned around in the second burial chamber, carried the two weapons of the gun and halberd, and tried it, but the gun and halberd were too long to withstand the stone gate. At this time, the old ghost took a look at the sarcophagus lid again, and said to Ding Laosan: "Third master, I see that this coffin lid is placed horizontally here." So the two of them went to lift the sarcophagus lid, but the old ghost had an injury on his shoulder and couldn't do it, so Yu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the three of them worked together to put the sarcophagus lid under the stone door.
Only then did everyone cautiously step into the tomb full of bones, Ding Laosan walked in the front, he took the Xuantie ancient sword in his hand and slashed left and right, clearing a way, and everyone followed closely behind him and walked forward together. There was a foul smell in the tomb, and Yu Fei held Luo Zi with one hand and covered his mouth and nose with the other.
Suddenly, Yu Fei's eyes felt that something seemed to move in the pile of bones next to him.
"No, are these skeletons going to come back to life, and they won't let people live!" Yu Fei suddenly felt that his mind was blank, he stopped, turned his head and shone it with a flashlight, ", it turned out to be a bug!" Scared the hell out of me. I saw that at the location where Yu Fei's flashlight shone, a huge black beetle with a length of six or seven centimeters was crawling on a bone and looking around, with two large saw-shaped pincers on its mouth, which looked quite strange.
Ye Lao, who was walking behind Yu Fei, also saw this beetle by the flashlight, and immediately exclaimed, "It's a corpse beetle!" ”
Ding Laosan, who was walking in front, was also shocked when he heard Ye Lao's exclamation, and hurriedly turned around, and when he saw this beetle, he said to everyone: "Hurry back!" ”
Before Yu Fei could figure out the situation, he was pushed back by Ding Laosan from behind. At this time, the beetle suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the air, making a hissing sound, Ye Lao lifted the jujube wood staff and hit it, knocking the beetle to the ground. However, in an instant, the sound of the earth stirring could be heard throughout the burial chamber, and the pile of bones began to tremble.
"Quick! Fast! Ding Lao San shouted!
Everyone ran back to the second burial chamber with a roll and crawl, Ding Laosan's calf was being bitten by a beetle, he grabbed the beetle, pinched it hard, and pinched it into a ball of flesh, and the beetle's pair of saw-like pincers were still one by one.
The other beetles did not follow them into the second chamber and seemed to shy away from anything.
