5. Tombs
", what is that?" I roared, and looked around blindly, but it was still the same all around
"It's a person." A friend said, "I remember seeing such a person in my attic when I was a child, and I always thought it was my shadow, but in the end I realized that my shadow could not be dragged that long." Black, shadowy things don't exist. ”
"Impossible." I interrupted him, "There is no such thing in the world. It must have been wearing clothes made of some kind of material that reflects light. ”
Why is this person taking my mask? Does he know me? It's impossible that if you knew me, you wouldn't have come to take my mask, but. By the way, he must be confirming something, to confirm that I am not the person he imagined, then there must be a concept in his mind, a positioning of me or the positioning of this mask. Even if he doesn't know me.
"That's it!" I turned my head and said, "The torch is going to be extinguished, you take this, clear the road first, I'll go to the front and take a look, it doesn't matter." ”
"I'll be with you."
"No need, I'm more familiar with this place than you, and it's not good for anyone if you can't take care of it."
"Well, then be careful." Yang Shizhong patted me on the shoulder, "I'm going to take that guy out." ”
"No problem." I laughed.
Turning around, it was pitch black in the corridor, I straightened my clothes and began to run, the types of ancient tombs in the Qin and Han dynasties are roughly the same, but there are indeed many types, and it almost represents the way the ancient tombs were built in various eras in the future. It is mainly divided into wooden coffin tombs, earthen cave tombs, hollow brick tombs, brick chamber tombs, mounds, stone chamber tombs and cliff tombs. The structure of these tombs also determines the style and size of later tombs.
The tomb in front of me completely belongs to a brick chamber tomb, to be more precise from the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the tomb chamber is built with small rectangular bricks, and sometimes local wedge-shaped bricks and mortise and tenon bricks. The door to the tomb on the way I came had been damaged, but it was still vaguely recognizable by the style of the brick tomb.
I looked up and the space above me was getting bigger and bigger, indicating that I was already in the heart of the mountain, where the building engineers had plenty of directions. The arc-shaped top is in the shape of a dome, symbolizing the integration of heaven and earth, and the view of the mysterious starry sky of that era.
From here into the inside is a circular space, painted in all directions with a large number of portraits, the main description is the celestial content such as the moon and the moon, the content is not very much, but the area is very large, the carving technique of the portrait mainly adopts the yang carving of the ground plane, most of the details of the image are no longer engraved with the yin line, but painted with ink line or Zhu Cai. The portrait is simple and dignified, concise and powerful, and the effect of rubbing is like a paper cut. As a frame, the arabesque-like cloud pattern is very strong, which occupies a large area on the picture and almost dominates the scene.
I swept the wall little by little with a flashlight.
The atmosphere of the ancient tomb in the darkness seemed a little intimidating, and the slightest sound stimulated the nervous contraction.
I walked away from the wall and through a circular door, behind which was a burial passage with a staircase attached to a shaft. In other words, I passed by a front-end ear chamber, so where I am now is the front-end chamber, right?
The antechamber is not too big, but it is still a little more spacious than the anterior chamber, and to my right is a large hall with pottery, stone chimes, and bronze lamps. On the left is a wooden door, the wooden door is 5 meters high and belongs to the left and right side opening type, the door is carved with the brave generals, and the auspicious clouds and flying feathers, I touched it with my hands, there are iron nails on the wooden door, but unexpectedly there is not much rust.
How so? The road is connected to the cave, and there is a mountain spring in the cave, so there will be water vapor at the same time, but there is no trace of rust on the iron here? That is to say, there is a door or wall separation from the niche to the front ear chamber, no, not only that, the layout of the Qin and Han tombs, the niches are mostly at the back of the underworld, which belongs to the last of the tombs. But I walked straight from the alcove to the anterior chamber.
So there are only 2 explanations: First, I walked over a thief hole. Second, the layout of this tomb is not conventional. After patting the wooden door, it was quite sturdy, and the dull sound came one after another, and there was no sign of it being opened.
Turn around and go to the hall There are a lot of funerary goods, most of them are ceramics, and the other is the lamps made of bronze, which were originally used for lighting, but after the tomb was completely closed, it has gradually lost the burning conditions and lost its effect, but more of them are burned out by themselves, and most of the ones that are lost due to the loss of conditions are called everlasting lamps.
The lamp is more than 1 meter high, slightly higher than the height of a person sitting on the ground. The lamp base has two Chengren palm-sized people, there is a little patina on it, the lamppost is carved with various lines and can not be seen clearly, the lamp plate is an oval structure, there is a hand stretched out in the center, the overall look is relatively simple, but just below this bronze lamp I saw a series of iron fences, they are like skylights on the prison.
I stood on the ground and looked down, and the light inside was stacked layer by layer, as if it had swept something, and finally only the shadow fell on the bottom.
"Looks like there's a secret down there?" I muttered to myself, looked around, and there was no one in sight, so I boldly shone the flashlight in. At the same time, I squatted down, the railing was a very thick railing, I pulled it hard a few times and couldn't shake it at all, I had no choice but to lie on the ground and put the flashlight in, but at this moment I suddenly saw a human face sticking straight up through the railing.
I was startled, and suddenly I rolled over, and I was on my back on the ground, and the situation came so suddenly that I couldn't react for a while, I don't know what it was, but I was sure that he had come out of the pit below, and the pit was densely packed with bones, like a small mountain.
"Maybe it's a funeral canal." I lay on the ground, patting my chest, and the scene just now came so suddenly that I almost cried out, "Is that the person?" "I thought about it. But I didn't have much time to think about it, because the thing below had already started to pull on the railing and scream desperately, I never thought that a thing could have so much strength, and I didn't think about what it was. Because I'm running out of time. I got up and began to stare at the funeral ditch and slowly retreat.
"Poof", the thing pulled open the railing and climbed out suddenly, only to find that this thing was not what I thought was a fence that could not be opened, but there was a button-like thing on the other side that was locked, due to the previous thing up and down to break free, the button has been slowly shaken loose.
So the thing crawled out.
The thing was covered in gray powder, with features roughly the same as a human, and it slowly crawled out of the funeral ditch, looking at me with hungry eyes, as if it was going to tear me apart in an instant.
I watched it step by step back, and it seemed that the monster was hungry, and he kept grinding his teeth and walking with his back to me, and there was a sonorous sound of iron tools as he walked.
The hall here is divided into two sides, there is a screen in the middle, the screen is made of cloth, the pattern drawn on it has long been unclear, but it can roughly distinguish one or two, the center of the cloth is a crack, the crack is not big, if I need it, I still drill over, the other side of the screen should be the same as the situation here, I just need to drill through, and then find a way to get the monster stuck on it, and then find a person to give him a stick.
I moved to the screen, and found that the cloth of the screen was basically about to melt into water, and it was particularly viscous to the touch, like a high-temperature eraser, and according to the equivalent architectural design concept, the distance between a bronze lamp on the other side and the screen was only 5 steps, 5 steps is about 2 seconds, the fastest round trip is 3 seconds, 3 seconds and so on, I want to use the bronze lamp to kill this monster.
"Well, that's all." After I finished the calculation, I secretly added fuel to myself, everything doesn't need to be so perfect, I just don't need to give myself a job with no way out. Even if the monster was stuck in the screen and I didn't pick up the lamp, I could have run away quickly, hiding in the burial ditch or running deeper into the tomb.
The sound of a hammer suddenly came between thoughts, I raised my head, only to see the monster running towards me with both hands and feet on the ground, in that leopard-like way, I was stunned for a while, and when I came to my senses, it had leapt towards me, I subconsciously used my left hand to block horizontally, only to feel that something very heavy was pressing on my body, how could I not shake it off, slowly the left hand has lost the effect of resisting, and the right hand clenched a fist and hit the monster's chest.
But after only 1 second of pause, the monster continued to grab my head with his hand and circle my mask, and found a piercing scream, but he couldn't catch it, he stepped on my waist with both feet, clasped my mask with his hands, and suddenly retracted the head that was biting my mask, and at this moment I clearly saw the pair of fangs and scarlet eyes from the flashlight in my left hand.
After staring at me for a while, it seemed to have made up its mind to open its mouth wide and bite me straight in the face, and then the funny thing happened, his mouth bit directly on my long nose, and his throat was almost pierced, and he screamed in pain, I hurriedly used my hand to shake off its hand, threw him down, and then turned around and climbed over the screen.
The crack of the screen is not very big, I first pulled it and collapsed without saying a word, but the monster was anxious, he covered his mouth and screamed for a long time, and after calling it, he found that I was gone, and immediately jumped on the spot, but soon he found me, and then jumped over the screen without thinking.
Here I have to say that the scope of the screen is very large, at least it is more than ten meters long, and one end is still embedded in the wall, so the monster with its huge body, the savage momentum was finally blocked in the cloth, I watched his head struggle around, and suddenly a stream of blood gushed up. Without saying a word, I ran to the side of the bronze lamp, picked up the lamp, and picked it up as if I was picking it up.
But at this moment, the tragedy happened, I didn't even notice that the bronze lamp was fixed to the ground, and no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't move.
And at that moment, the monster tore through all the cloth and stood in front of me.
"It's too fast, I said."
What to do? What to do? I was in a hurry, I didn't dare to run with my back to him, I could only face this side and look at it, the monster was about the same height as me, the back was hunched and the hands were surprisingly long, and the iron tools on my feet made a chilling sound when I walked back and forth in the cold burial chamber, which stimulated my nerves from time to time.
This time it seemed to be alert, and it could be seen that this was a guy with a certain IQ.
"What should I do?" I don't think there's a better way to deal with this place for a while, and it seems that I can only run into the burial ditch to hide, but I haven't seen how the switch of the iron fence is broken, and if I can't do it all in an instant, then I'll be stuck inside. Damn, shit, what the hell is this creature?
And there was an iron-like sound as I walked, and I wiped my sweat, and the thing seemed to have no patience to entangle with me, and suddenly rushed up, and it was very fast, because the distance was not very far, and it was almost unbuffered and jumped and pounced. I quickly ducked over and threw him out with one hand on his chest.
The monster was thrown aside by me, rolled on his horse, got up and rushed towards me, I stood on the sidelines, gasping for breath, before I had time to recover, I watched it slam into it, I jumped up and pressed one hand on its shoulder, it rushed over so quickly that it almost vomited a mouthful of old blood in my face.
I was pushed forward by him, and the air was buzzing in my ears in a countercurrent with the air.
I tried to break free from it, but after a few struggles, I was hit against the wall, my stomach was overturned, I was pressed against the wall, I almost fainted, I knelt on the ground, looked at the monster, he lifted the soles of his feet, and for a moment I saw what seemed to be writing on the iron.
Something seems to be struggling to break free in my head, as if I want to remember something? Little by little "taming the beast?" Exploring the grave with a beast? Is it Henan? Damn, does that mean this tomb has been targeted? So how do you explain that human skin? It seems that the group of people should have entered the tomb before us, and the place where they entered the tomb did not seem to be the ear chamber, so that human skin, that shadow man, that is, the second group of people who got rid of us? I thought of this naturally, and rolled to the side with my stomach in my hands and ran away a few steps, when I heard the clanging of iron.
What exactly is in this tomb? Is it worth so many people to start at the same time? Taming animals in Henan? Why do I know this? I crawled forward with a grunt, and the voices behind me got closer, closer and closer, like death.
My eyes are slowly invisible, half-squinting eyelids, in front of me is a copper lamp, this copper lamp is not the same as the previous one, is a slender simple shape, this type of lamp because the size is not enough so can not add lamp oil, all only suitable for candles, then the most special point of this lamp is that it has a sharp and slender candle solid body.
"I know maybe knock him down and put him in that thing's body."
"Hmm. I'm so tired, I don't have time. ”
I didn't care how many times I knocked over the lamp with one hand, and the whole person passed out.
I don't know how long it took, but a human face was attached to my mask.
"Who are you?"
