Chapter Twenty-Three: An Urn Made of Granite
The Lizi on the tomb door emitted a penetrating dark red light in the faint light of the flashlight, and the sixteen big characters froze people in place like a spirit flag, and the air in the room was unusually cold, making people feel like they were in an ice cellar. Literally, the resting place of "Shihou", entering this door, is definitely the way back!
"Bang~"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound. The flashlight in Wang Shaoyi's hand accidentally slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and the lens shattered to the ground. He squatted down on his knees, his hands clenched into fists, trying to catch them, but he couldn't.
Everyone who was still staring at the tomb door turned their heads "aw", and the neat gaze made him feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the light bulb was not broken, and he reached out and scratched his head embarrassedly, while saying, "It's cold, and the reaction is a little slower." While squatting down, he reached out and was about to pick up the flashlight, but this time he didn't get up for half a day, staring straight at the ground.
As far as the eye can see, the floor of the tomb is all yellow, mixed with a little red, and it is also covered with mineral particles that can be seen by the naked eye, just like the scales of a Buddha snake.
He looked at it a few more times, and finally gasped and exclaimed, "This is granite?!" ”
When the others heard his voice, they also shone their flashlights on the ground beside them, and they were also amazed, and there were all granite around them, and the layout of this kind of tomb was too weird.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Shaoyi stood up and shone the flashlight on the top of the tomb, but the irradiation range of the flashlight was limited, and the situation on the top of the tomb could not be seen.
He kept tilting his head, his eyes rolling back and forth a few times, and then put down his raised head, and suddenly exclaimed: "No wonder! ”
"Huh?" Wu Liancheng heard him talking to himself, and asked strangely, "Wang Shaoyi, what's the wonder?" ”
"I see! I said outside before that why the group of people who came down before dug up to the tomb gate, and now I understand a little!" Wang Shaoyi's eyebrows stretched, looking quite happy, he pointed to the bottom and continued, "Look at these granites, if they are thick enough, the explosives can't explode at all. Although you can't see the top of the tomb, it should be ** not far from ten! ”
After speaking, without waiting for others to express their opinions, Wang Shaoyi walked to Zhao Jie's side, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to the tomb door with his finger, signaling him to go over and push and see.
Zhao Jie nodded knowingly, put the flashlight in his pocket, and pulled up the cuffs on both sides. He walked quickly to the tomb door, took a deep breath, forked his right foot to the right, sank down, and pressed his hands to the tomb door. With a soft roar, he pushed towards the tomb door.
The others stared closely at the direction of the tomb door, and Zhao Jie's whole body bowed into a spring, pushing forward vigorously. You can feel the majestic aura bursting from him, and the green tendons on his hands are also bursting up.
But the door still hasn't moved!
Zhao Jie tried a few more times unwillingly, and finally had to give up, withdrew his hand and shook his head helplessly at the others.
Suddenly, Wu Liancheng let out a "huh", then sniffed a few times with his nose, turned his head to look at everyone and said, "Do you smell anything special?" Like, sulfur smell? ”
Hearing her speak, Wang Shaoyi walked quickly to the tomb door, carefully searched for it a few times with a flashlight, and found a large amount of residue at the bottom of the right side of the tomb door. He pinched some with his fingers, walked over to the others and said, "Look at this, it's gunpowder shavings, it should have been left by the previous group of people." This door is not only insurmountable by manpower, but I am afraid that it really cannot be opened without large weapons. Building such a strong tomb gate, this tomb seems to be really not simple. ”
After he finished speaking, the others were silent, Wang Shaoyi understood the meaning of his words very clearly, it was almost impossible for them to get out of the tomb gate.
"Let's go, go inside. There is no other way. Although Wang Shaoyi was also a little frustrated, but it didn't manifest itself, he took a step after he finished speaking, and a group of people turned around and walked towards the tomb.
This tomb is unusually large, all around are empty, the first time in the real cemetery, that deep feeling made the fear that had previously dissipated slowly invade the hearts of each of them, the faces of the two girls were already pale, and even Mr. Liao, who had always talked a lot, was silent at this time, and a group of people walked forward silently.
"Follow me."
Zhao Jie suddenly stepped forward, and took out an ancient sword from somewhere in his hand, and there was a trace of extreme cold air coming from the sword. The remaining four people walked side by side behind Zhao Jie, his words were loud, and his body exuded a majestic momentum, for a while, Zhao Jie, who was holding an ancient sword and had clear eyes, became the backbone of their spirit.
The silence around the tomb was terrible, only the "creaking" sound of their shoes stepping on the ground was left, and everyone's faces showed a vigilant look, and their eyes were staring in the direction of the flashlight, and they didn't dare to blink, for fear that a living creature would pop out of the darkness.
After walking a distance, they don't know why, but even after leaving the tomb gate, they could still feel the smell of sulfur in the darkness.
They walked slowly, step by step, step by step.
"Meow~"
Suddenly, a crisp cry sounded in the darkness, which frightened the four people who followed behind, and they took a few steps back and moved closer together, back to back, and their bodies involuntarily shook a little.
When they stood still, they found that Zhao Jie, who was walking in the front, was not by his side, and when he looked again, he had already rushed towards the source of the sound, and the light of the flashlight swayed up and down along his running, and disappeared into the darkness after a while.
Zhao Jie's sudden departure made the rest of the people suddenly seem to have lost their backbone, and the four of them gathered together, not knowing what to do, everyone was quiet and didn't speak, waiting for Zhao Jie to come back.
This wait was ten minutes, but it was still pitch black in the dark, and the silence around was terrifying, and it was really like a year.
Mr. Liao suddenly stood up at this time, pointed to the distance with a flashlight, and said with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "The emptiness around here makes people panic, should we change to the corner and wait?" Anyway, we have a flashlight in our hands in such a large burial chamber, and Applejack can find it wherever she comes back."
Hearing Mr. Liao's proposal, everyone else nodded approvingly.
Mr. Liao took the lead, and the group of four people walked slowly to the edge. After walking for nearly half an hour, I saw the walls of the room. Following the direction of the flashlight, they saw that the walls here were also made of granite.
There was also a vague smell of sulfur in the air. The sour smell reminds me of rotten things.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, Mr. Liao suddenly screamed, threw the flashlight aside, squatted down and hugged his knees and rubbed it vigorously. While rubbing and scolding: "What kind of dog said to put something here, this thing is harder than a stone, my legs are going to break!" ”
Several of them walked quickly to Mr. Liao's side, and when they saw Mr. Liao's trouser leg opened, there was a large bruise on his knee, which was obviously not lightly hit.
Look at the jug standing next to him, like an urn?
Wang Shaoyi walked over with a flashlight and found that the Weng was covered with a bronze lid, and there were already a lot of rust on the surface. I bent my knees down along the lid and saw that the urn itself was also made of granite. It's no wonder that Mr. Liao suffered, this granite was originally hard, and it was caught off collision, so he was too focused on the wall in front of him.
This urn suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, which made people feel very strange.
Wang Shaoyi knocked the lid a few times with his hand, and there was a sound of "knock knock", and it seemed to be empty inside. I pushed it a few more times, but it couldn't be pushed at all, it didn't look like it was completely empty. He raised his right hand and was just about to open the lid, Wang Mengmeng did suddenly run up and grabbed him with his hand, looked at him in a panic, and kept shaking his head at him, as if he was afraid that he would open the urn.
Wang Shaoyi stretched out the hand that was on the lid of the urn and nodded to her, wanting to withdraw the other hand as well, but found that Wang Mengmeng was still just holding his hand, and had no intention of letting go. He couldn't help frowning, and looked at Wang Mengmeng suspiciously, as if he wanted to say, "Why is this girl suddenly not shy." ”
Mr. Liao and Wu Liancheng also looked at Wang Mengmeng with puzzled expressions, and Mr. Liao didn't forget to give Wang Shaoyi an eyebrow, as if he just cared about their hands holding each other.
Seeing that Wang Mengmeng still refused to let go, and his expression was a little sloppy, Wang Shaoyi had a whim, he put his face in front of her, raised his eyebrows upward, upturned both sides of his mouth, stretched out half of his tongue, and shone the flashlight in his right hand to the jaw, mixing a grimace.
Wang Mengmeng screamed "ah", let go of his hand, turned around and threw himself into Mr. Liao's arms, that sound scared Wang Shaoyi a lot, and he stayed for a while before he reacted back, and then saw that Mr. Liao was already patting Wang Mengmeng's back to comfort him.
Wang Shaoyi scratched her head embarrassedly, she was originally reminded to take her hand, but she didn't expect it to be too much.
But this made his curiosity even stronger, what was it that could make Wang Mengmeng so scared, and he didn't think much about it, he reached out and pressed it on the bronze cover, ready to lift the cover. I heard a muffled shout: "Don't move, that's a corpse urn!" ”;
