Chapter 245: Entering the Tombway
The fat man gasped: "Doesn't that mean that all the tomb robbers who have been here have died here?" The result is a natural barrier that is more useful than any anti-theft measures? ”
"That's it, in a nutshell." Huang Tian spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
"Is there no solution then? Besides, we're here now, and if anyone who comes here can't get out, wouldn't that include us? ”
I looked at Huang Tian, this is not a joke, feng shui and magic have something in common, but after all, they are two, there are still differences in the subtleties, Huang Tian's ability is there, but this kind of feng shui lore array designed by the ancients can he break it I really can't say.
"Don't worry, this feng shui formation is very powerful for ghosts, but it doesn't do any harm to the living, what I'm worried about now is that there must be some mechanism in the ancient tomb, otherwise it is impossible for those predecessors to come out of it, maybe there is some unknown danger waiting for us,"
Huang Tian's words made me feel a little relieved, as long as this kind of Nine Yin Gathering Array had no effect on the living, as for whether we could come out of it alive, it depended on our luck.
After eating, we took a short rest, looked over there on the hillside, and found that Qi Laohan was looking at us, and it is estimated that he also heard the sound of the ghost crying wolf.
In the process of resting, the fat man Huang Tian and I looked for the source of the sound again, and found that in addition to the dirty things that were really mixed in it, a large part of the sound source was that there were some cracks and cavities in the mountain, and when the strong air flow passed through these gaps and small holes, it would produce all kinds of sounds due to air friction.
"I hope this is the mausoleum of King Yingji of Qin Zhaoxiang, otherwise, we will run for nothing."
After the fat man finished speaking, he took the lead and jumped out of the robbery hole, and I was the second, after the Huangtian Palace. The three of us set foot in an unknown space with all kinds of luggage and food.
For me, the underground team is really a completely unfamiliar space, because I have never been to the underground palace, although I often see the so-called Dragon Tower Treasure Hall in novels, how awesome the protagonist is, almost nothing can be difficult to catch him, and the wealth of historical knowledge can make an expert in the history department dumbfounded.
What's more, these people's research on wild history can be called grandmaster-level. Any little-known one can also be at your fingertips.,I don't know if these legends really have such a wild history or the author Jun himself made up.,It's estimated that nine times out of ten it's the latter.。
After jumping off the robbery hole, there was a black hole hole in front of us, which was made of green bricks as soon as it opened, but I don't know whether it was originally picked up or blown open by explosives, in short, the stubble was obvious, and I shone it in with a miner's lamp, and found that it was a two-meter-wide tomb. The front and back are black rumbling, and there is no end in sight.
The fat man took a look down and found that the ground was about more than one meter and a half point, that is, he jumped and went down. However, there are a lot of scattered bricks underneath, and it won't be fun if you accidentally break your foot.
So, the fat man carefully used a telescopic stick to pull the bricks underneath and clear a place to stay. Then he jumped down, stomped his feet on the ground and said, "Come down, no problem." Although there are often mechanisms in the tomb, since so many seniors have come in, even if there are mechanisms, they have almost destroyed them. ”
Hearing the fat man say this, I was relieved that I was not as afraid of dirty things as I was of the news of the mechanism in the ancient tomb.
Standing down-to-earth in the dark and damp cemetery, I can only see the distance that the lamp of the miner's lamp should shine on, and I am not afraid that it is fake, in case a cold arrow is shot from where, I am actually quite wronged?
At this time, the fat man suddenly said faintly: "In fact, there are dirty things following behind us, everyone must be careful, don't be messed up by dirty things." ”
I secretly scolded the fat man, isn't this deliberately trying to scare me? Lao Tzu was already scared enough, and there were all kinds of unexpected things in the ancient tombs he saw in the book, and if we added dirty things to make trouble, the chances of us coming out alive were much smaller.
"Really? Don't scare me, I have a Zhong Kui tattoo on my back, so it's impossible to lie on my back, right? ”
I looked at the fat man with a little suspicion, I had a Zhong Kui tattoo on my body not long after I entered the poll bureau, in order to be afraid that something dirty would sneak up on me from behind, even if it was a ghost, I should be afraid of Zhong Kui, right?
The fat man smiled: "Zhong Kui also has a nap, right?" Besides, isn't this dirty thing a master of the past? Don't you really have the ability to dare to come here? So these dirty things are extremely difficult to deal with, but fortunately, at least they have the same purpose as us, and they shouldn't hurt us in the short term. ”
As soon as he said this, the fat man suddenly looked behind me with wide eyes, and I made his heart straighten and he didn't dare to look back, so he asked in a trembling voice, "Fat man, what's wrong?" What's behind me? ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "It's weird, is the tattooed Zhong Kui really useful?" The thing behind you is gone, and it is estimated that it is now hidden in some dark corner, and now we must be on guard against those things deliberately touching the mechanism, because it is not easy for ghosts to kill people, but the mechanism is not good or evil, it is purely controlled by machinery, so it is the most unlucky to die under the mechanism. ”
While talking, Huang Tian also came down, the three of us turned on the flashlight, and walked in one of the directions under the leadership of the fat man, in the ancient tomb, people have no sense of direction, and only by relying on the rich experience of the fat man can they get close to the tomb.
Because of excessive tension, I took out the Vajra umbrella, ready to open at any time, this Vajra race is made of alloy steel, the umbrella surface is foldable stainless steel, the edge is sharp as a knife after the edge, once it rotates, it can be said that the gods and ghosts are not close, it is one of the basic equipment of the ancient tomb robbers, and the claw of the probe, the hooves of the black donkey.
I have experienced its power in tomb robbery novels, it can be attacked and defended, it can be used as a crutch and a shield, and it is one of the necessary tools in the tomb robbery world.
The fat man was holding a telescopic stick in front of him and banging on the ground as he walked, which was a way to guard against the traps, and there were three most common traps in the ancient tombs, poisoned arrows, poison smoke, and flaps.
Poison arrows are arrows that are fired by the machine, and will have some snake venom or toxins extracted from plants. Poisonous smoke generally appeared in tombs after the Tang Dynasty, and there was no such method before.
In particular, the flap is simple to make, but it is very lethal, and it is the most commonly used anti-theft measure in tombs.
Speaking of reproduction, children nowadays don't know what it is, I was naughty when I was a child, but it is not called a flap, but a trap, first dig a pit on the road, but pull bubble in it, covered with a small branch of turf, once others step on it, the result can be imagined.
And the power of the flap is much greater than this, it is a larger pit, and the following is naturally not as simple as pulling, it is a countdown sharp knife or a bamboo tube that is only sharpened, the top can be moved, there is a rotating shaft in the middle of the movable board, once a person steps on it, it will be directly turned over by the flap to the bottom, then the result, have you ever seen a bamboo tube tied to a toad?
Especially in the tomb road, this kind of flap is the most likely to appear, because the place in the tomb is narrow, it is not easy for people to avoid these things, the flap plus a strong crossbow, can almost seal the tomb robbers who do not understand in the tomb road, and they can't enter the tomb at all and hang it up to the tomb owner to accompany the burial.
The fat man also knows that there is a lot of news in the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so he is also very cautious, since he has arrived in the tomb, it is not far from entering the tomb, and it is better to be careful at this time, so as not to lose the horse's front hooves, and it is not counted here.
Because of caution, we walked very slowly, with endless darkness in front of us and the same behind us, which was very oppressive and made me feel like I was walking towards the underworld.
But it's not that Lao Tzu hasn't walked the yin and yang road of the underworld, and he can't talk about how scared he is, it's just that this kind of darkness makes people scratch it, right? It's a really, really bad feeling.
After walking for about half an hour, the fat man stopped and said, "No, it should be difficult to walk for so long, and it should be difficult to reach the end, is there no end to the tomb?" ”
I don't know what's going on, anyway, I'll follow the fat man when he walks forward, there is a kind of blind obedience, Huang Tian didn't speak, the three of us actually turned on a light, it's the fat man's one, because I don't know how long I want to stay inside, save some electricity if I can, don't have lighting equipment before people come out.
As he spoke, the fat man took out his wolf-eye flashlight and shone it forward, the wolf-eye flashlight is different from other flashlights, the beam is highly concentrated, and it can illuminate a long distance.
The fat man took a look forward, and found that the wolf smoke flashlight that could have shone fifty meters only shone more than ten meters away and disappeared into the darkness, which was simply impossible.
"Fatty, we can't be blinded by ghosts, right? It is said that even if the ancient tomb is built on the mountain, it is impossible to have such a long corridor, and I feel that we are stuck in a dead loop, and I am afraid that even if we retreat now, we will not be able to find the thief hole we came in. ”
I'm a little scared, death is not terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death, I don't want to wait for death in this dark environment, it's better to kill myself directly.
The fat man groaned for a while and said: "It's impossible for a ghost to cover his eyes, but what you said makes sense, we may have been confused by Dingxi in front of us, otherwise we should have walked to the tomb a long time ago, even if we didn't go, we should have seen the tomb door."
