Chapter 31: The Grave of Doubt
I was crawling with the fat man in the dark cave, and suddenly I saw the black shadow of the fat man in front of me flash, and disappeared in front of me, I almost exclaimed, and said to myself: No! The trick of the fat man's disappearance is coming again! The previous experience had already scared and scarred me, and God couldn't have made it worse with the same tricks.
So, I hurried forward, trying to see what was causing a big living person to disappear before my eyes as if by magic. However, this time the fat man did not really disappear. Because, immediately after that, I fell on top of him, and he screamed in pain.
It turned out that we didn't notice that the dim cave had come to an end, so we accidentally fell out. **Hurriedly leaning on the wall, he stood up crookedly, and then stretched out his hand to grope around, and in the darkness I asked the fat man uneasily: "Fatty, are you okay?" ”。
The fat man slapped the dust off his body and replied, "It's all right." But where did we fall? ”
I took out the fire fold in my arms and blew it up, and now we actually fell from the rock cave into the outer chamber of a burial chamber, through the door of the burial chamber between the burial chambers, you can see this coffin parked not far away, which is lying quietly at the back of the inner chamber, and is suddenly stunned.
The fat man rolled up his sleeves and exclaimed excitedly: "Grandma's, I finally found the hometown of Xiangwang Lao'er." What are we waiting for, copy the guy and do it, and get rich! ”
As far as the eye can see, this underground burial chamber is a large wooden coffin burial chamber, divided into two burial chambers before and after, the top of the tomb is made of large wooden criss-cross to form a well-style structure, the top of the square burial chamber is stacked and astringent, it is indeed the internal structure of the tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the coffin is placed in the back room in a regular manner. Although there is nothing wrong with the architectural form of the tomb, a discerning person can see at a glance that there is something wrong with the tomb.
I hurriedly grabbed the fat man who was about to stride and said to him, "Don't be too impulsive, I think there's something strange here." You think, King Xiang'er is so happy and extravagant, and it is impossible for the tomb to be built so simply after death. There is a front hall and a back room in the mausoleum, not even an ear chamber has been built, the coffin is so clearly placed there, and there is no burial goods displayed in the four circles, I think this tomb is very strange. ”
The fat man stared at the coffin in the distance, and said angrily: "Will we look for a long time, but find a suspicious grave, the real cemetery of King Xiang'er is not here at all." ”
I crouched down and looked at the tomb bricks on the ground, the square stone bricks had no ornamentation on them, and after a while I reached out and tapped on the bricks, I pondered for a moment and said, "If this is a grave of doubt." Then the real tomb may be far away in the sky, or it may be close in front of you. ”
The fat man looked at me for some reason, and I said to him, "Squat down and knock on the bricks on the ground to see if you can see anything wrong?" ”
Hearing this, the fat man squatted down and knocked a few times casually, and then said to me with a puzzled face: "It's just an ordinary tomb brick, what's wrong?" ”
I smiled and said to the puzzled fat man: "Don't you always laugh at me for being a scholar, powerless, and now you are ugly!" ”
The fat man replied with a red face: "Don't talk about calves." What are you selling at this time, hurry up and explain honestly, what do you see? ”
I cleared my throat and said, "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the bricks used in the tomb were all hollow bricks. You just knocked on the brick with your hand, but there was no repercussion at all, what does this mean? I stopped to explain, looked at the fat man, and the fat man glared at me and said, "You are stupid for me, and you still play quiz games, which shows that the bricks are solid." ”
I grinned and said, "Yes, the bricks are solid, and the floor here is made of solid bricks, what is it for?" This time, I was afraid that the fat man would be anxious with me, so I immediately continued: "It is to protect the ground from collapsing, then" I said half a sentence, and then stopped and stared at the fat man in a mysterious way, waiting for his reaction.
After hearing what I said, the fat man immediately opened his mouth wide, and suddenly pointed to the ground with his finger and said, "Lao Zheng, you mean that the real tomb is below." ”
I smiled and nodded, and said, "You can teach." ”
The two of us came to a conclusion, and began to look for a mechanism or passage to go down in this doubtful tomb, and before we knew it, we searched through the entire outer and inner rooms, and finally came to the huge Nanmu coffin.
The fat man said admiringly: "There is no search left here." However, the coffin was really big enough. ”
I said to him mockingly: "If you are told to study, you don't study, and you always run to herd pigs." This is called a coffin, and it is placed on the outside of the coffin. Generally, according to the status of the tomb owner, the quantity and quality of the coffin outside the coffin are also very different. ”
The fat man said with a disdainful face: "Who cares what his capitalist old man's things are called, the fat man, I am only responsible for finding out the device and leaving, and then relieving the toiling masses, and I don't bother to pay attention to other things." However, you said that the passage to the real burial chamber would be possible in this coffin? ”
I nodded and said, "Possibly." However, it shouldn't be so simple to go down, since this is a suspicious grave arranged to confuse tomb robbers, then this coffin is likely to be filled with information about the mechanism. Once the lid of the coffin is lifted, it is possible to shoot all the people in front of the coffin into a hornet's nest. ”
The fat man touched the coffin cover with his hand, not daring to act rashly, and kept touching and looking around.
I asked him, "Do you know how to open this coffin?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said to me, "Didn't Master teach you how to break the news. ”
I reluctantly said to him: "I know how to break the mechanism, but this mechanism is in the coffin, and I don't know what kind of transmission mechanism it is." The key is that I don't know martial arts, and I don't have actual combat experience, I'm afraid that my half-baked skills are not good, and I don't dare to open the museum casually. ”
After listening to me, the fat man couldn't bear it anymore and asked me, "Then can this coffin be opened?" Still can't open? ”
I stared at the coffin and said, "There is a way, which is to make a hole in the coffin lid and put a two-finger probe hook into it to break the mechanism." However, it may be a poison mechanism inside, just in case, let's put on a simple gas mask before we do it, and then open the coffin. ”
After hearing this, the fat man quickly took out a simple mask from his backpack and put it on his face.
I was a little reluctant to touch the Nanmu coffin board and said: "It's a pity to open a hole for such a good thing!" ”
Seeing that I didn't move, the fat man was so anxious that he stumbled on the side and said, "Can you stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it, what are you rubbing?" "Because the fat man was wearing a mask and stumbling to speak, I didn't hear what he was talking about, probably urging me to hurry up.
I had no choice but to end my affection, crouched down and opened my backpack on the ground, intending to take the mask out so that the coffin could be opened. As a result, the ears just happened to be attached to the coffin, and it was vaguely as if I heard a sound inside the coffin, as if the sound of intermittent crunching and grinding of teeth.
I immediately looked up tremblingly and asked the fat man, "Did you grind your teeth just now?" ”
The fat man asked me with a puzzled face, "What molars?" I don't have that habit. ”
I thought I had misheard, so I put my ear on the coffin and listened carefully. This time it was heard very clearly, and there was indeed an intermittent creaking sound of grinding teeth coming from inside the coffin. I was shocked, could it be that there was a thousand-year-old rice dumpling in this coffin, grinding his teeth, ready to eat?
The fat man saw the cold sweat on my face, and also put his ears close to the coffin to listen, and then he looked at me with a frightened face, and stumbled and said: "Old Lao Zheng" Before he finished the second half of the sentence, I nodded knowingly.
The sound of an unknown object coming from the coffin shook our hearts deeply, and for the next hour, the fat man and I were in the other part of the tomb, constantly looking for other ways out. However, in the end, both of us returned in vain, so we had to come to the coffin again.
The fat man sat on the ground with a tired butt and said, "Lao Zheng, it seems that the passage down is in this coffin, anyway, we have a guy in our hands." It's better to open the coffin directly, and when the time comes, no matter what the hell things jump out of it, a shuttle bullet will go down, and it won't blow him to the brain. ”
My heart was also on fire, and then I thought that Master and they might be waiting for rescue in the real tomb below. As a result, I made the most impulsive decision of my life. I gritted my teeth and said to the fat man, "Fuck it." ”
When the fat man saw that I agreed, he jumped up from the ground at once, put the gun in his hand, and was completely ready. I also took out the slingshot in my backpack and took out a few fire projectiles from my jacket pocket, this thing is a blasting ammunition prepared by Master's secret recipe, a miniature version of a grenade, but the power is too small, it is okay to kill a chicken, and it is difficult to cause fatal injuries against larger creatures. However, this projectile contains concentrated gunpowder, which can instantly ignite any target, and burns continuously, which is not easy to extinguish.
The two of us were ready and made up our minds to walk cautiously to the coffin. The fat man took a deep breath and was about to lift the coffin lid.
I stopped the fat man with some hesitation and said to him: "If you don't push the coffin first, maybe the passage to go down will be directly under the coffin, and it will be much easier." ”
The fat man looked at me like an idiot, and then said to me, "If it were so simple, King Xiang'er would have spent so much effort to make a suspicious grave, and it would be useless." ”
I regret it a little after I said it, this kind of thinking is a little too simplistic and rash. However, not to be outdone, he muttered: "Maybe it's to make a fool of yourself!" ”
The two of us peeled off the paint around the coffin, only to find that the coffin was nailed with coffin nails. The coffin that is usually put on the outside of the coffin is generally only sealed with lacquer and does not nail it, while the coffin inside will be nailed with coffin nails. I thought to myself: Could it be that this big coffin is actually a coffin with only one layer, and there is no inner coffin inside, so how tall and mighty the body of the person lying in this coffin is!
I was surprised to scoop up a nail with Luoyang, and held it in my hand to watch, although the iron nail more than three inches long was rusty, I could clearly see some strange words engraved on it. I picked off some of the rust on the nail with my hand, carefully looked at the words carved on it, and suddenly realized that this nail was engraved with the "Corpse Shock Curse"! So he yelled "not good".
However, it was too late!
