Exquisite Ancient City Chapter 29 Stone Chamber
The smoke and dust were filled, and the ground was full of black gravel from the blasting, I leaned out and shone a flashlight on the crevice of the mountain after the blasting, which was completely blocked, and the black snake outside could not enter, and it was not easy for us to get out the same way.
The four people around, the fat man's condition was not bad, but there were a few blood marks on his hands that were rubbed by gravel, Professor Chen had been in a coma, Ye Yixin was rushed by the waves, and he held his breath in his chest, and he also fainted.
I reached out to probe Ye Yixin's snort, oh no, no breathing, I secretly said that it was not good, she was already thin, she was choked by the blast wave, she held her breath, and she needed to be rescued quickly.
At this time, the three sober people, Fat Man and Shirley Yang, were temporarily deaf in our ears and could not recover in a short time, so we could not communicate with words.
I gestured for Shirley Yang to give Ye Yixin artificial respiration, and suddenly saw Shirley Yang bleeding from her nose, so I quickly reminded her to stop the bleeding.
Shirley Yang casually pulled a piece of clothing to plug the bleeding nose, wrote a few words in the palm of his hand with blood, and pointed to Ye Yixin, I used a flashlight to shine on Shirley Yang's palm, and saw that she wrote "CTR" in her hand.
What do you mean? I don't understand, do you mean that Ye Yixin is hopeless? He shook his head at her.
Shirley Yang saw that I couldn't understand it, so he could only ignore his nose that was still bleeding, lowered his head, pressed Ye Yixin's chest with both hands, and pressed down hard.
I realized that she meant to let me give Ye Yixin an artificial heart erection massage, I was just about to take over, Ye Yixin snorted lightly, poured it up in one breath, and kept coughing dryly, I quickly asked the fat man to take a kettle and give her a few sips of water.
Shirley Yang saw that Ye Yixin's heart was better, so he raised his head and pressed his ear bone to stop the bleeding from his nose.
The shape shì had just stabilized, and before I could worry about the current situation, a new crisis had arisen. The so-called ghost cave is in the belly of Mount Zagrama, and the black mountain of Zagrama is like a black empty shell, and where we are now, it may be somewhere under this shell.
Due to the cavity in the belly of the mountain, a huge internal tension has been formed for thousands of years, and many large and small cracks have been cracked in the mountain, and the explosive force of the yellow explosive just now has hit the mountain, squeezing the original tiny cracks, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, forming a domino effect.
Although I couldn't hear the sound for a while, I could feel the mountain shaking, and the cracks above my head that were originally narrow gradually widened, and countless broken rocks fell, and there was a great tendency to intensify.
I covered up the small pieces of rubble that had fallen on my head as I motioned for the rest of the group to leave. We could only climb diagonally up the crack for the time being, and after each section we climbed, we were filled with rubble, and if we stopped for a while, we would have to be buried alive.
One foot deep and one foot shallow, even I don't know how far to climb out, my hands are pierced by sharp gravel and my flesh is blurred, I breathe rapidly, I feel that a heart is about to jump out of my mouth, I am thirsty and tired, and I am still carrying the unconscious Professor Chen and Ye Yixin, who is not in a good position, and finally I really have no strength, I can't move my legs and feet anymore, just close my eyes, bury it alive, don't run.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the spread of the cracks in the mountain stopped, and the space more than a meter away behind us was buried.
After a while, the fat man spoke: "Lao Hu, are we fucking dead or alive now?" ”
I looked at the dark rocks around me and said, "I think it's all the same, even if I'm still alive for the time being, I'm probably going to die." ”
The fat man may have been tired and a little unconscious, and said to Shirley Yang next to him: "Miss Yang, I said goodbye to you in advance, and after a while, the two of us will go to Lord Yama's point, and you have to go to see your God, you have a long way to go, take care all the way." ”
Shirley Young said, "For God's sake, when is this coming, can you two not talk nonsense, hey...... I can hear you. ”
I opened my mouth and moved my jaw up and down, and although I still had a little tinnitus, I couldn't hear anything anymore. Everyone counted the kettle and equipment, I don't know where it fell in the chaos, Ye Yixin was unconscious when he entered the city, he didn't have a kettle with him, and the rest added up, there were less than two pots of water.
I said, "It's probably not easy to accept, but I'm going to have to talk to you." We are now in the mountains of Zagrama, there is no way out around, and the air here does not know whether it circulates or not, otherwise we will have to suffocate if it will not be able to support for half an hour. The remaining explosives have also been lost, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get out of it on our own. Our team of dead and wounded, there is only one old man An Liman left, that old guy is too slippery, maybe he will see that the shape is not good, so he will slip away first, and don't expect someone outside to rescue him as soon as possible. ”
The fat man said, "In this case, it's useless to think about it, now there is smoke in my throat, and there are two pots of water left, and I will drink it separately before I can talk about anything else." ”
I divided the water into two, half of which was given to Yixin Yixin and Professor Chen, and the other half was drunk separately by the three of us.
Shirley Yang only drank two sips, then couldn't swallow, and said after a moment of silence: "If we really will die here, I think it's all my fault, if it weren't for my insistence on finding some exquisite ancient city, I wouldn't have caused so many troubles, let alone affected so many people, I really ......"
I waved my hand to interrupt her: "You can't say that, we have an old Chinese saying, people die for money, and birds die for food." The fat man and I were self-inflicted, and if it weren't for the covetousness of your 40,000 beauties, we wouldn't have fallen into such a desperate situation. And Professor Chen, they are doing this business, even if you don't sponsor it, they will try their best to find this exquisite relic. ”
Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that I had heard Shirley Young say one thing, she had dreamed of that ghost cave before, even the chains on the queen's coffin, and she also said that in her dreams she had vaguely seen a huge thing lying on the coffin, but she could not see what it was, wasn't it the hell flower corpse incense konjac growing on the coffin?
When she said it, she said that she thought it was a dream entrusted to her by her missing explorer father, and in retrospect, it was very strange, could it be that Shirley Young had the ability to predict the unknown? So I asked.
Shirley Yang shook his head and said, "It seems that a voice kept calling me to come to this ghost cave in the Zagrama Mountains, but when I saw the bottomless ghost cave with my own eyes, I realized that my father's expedition team had never been to the ghost cave, and they may have died somewhere in the desert." But I don't understand why I see a place in my dreams that I've never been before. ”
The fat man said strangely: "There is such a thing? Maybe you were the queen of the Peerless Kingdom in your last life, and now you will revisit ...... old place."
Before he finished speaking, there was another cracking sound in the mountain, and it seemed that the first time just now had not disappeared, and it was going to come again. We rested for a while, and when death came, we were naturally unwilling to wait for death, only to see a large crack in front of us, and the light pillar of the flashlight swept in, as if we saw a person sitting there.
At this time, the large and small gravel produced by the mountain crack, the raindrops seem to roll down, and you don't have time to look closely, and when you see a road, you will hit it first. Shirley Yang flashed a flashlight to illuminate the way, the fat man carried Professor Chen on his back, and I dragged Ye Yixin backwards, and they all flashed into the stone crack that had just cracked in front of me.
Before I could see where it was, I felt that I couldn't breathe. There was a lot of dust inside, and it had been closed for many years, and there was no circulating air, so we hurriedly took out our gas masks and put them on our heads, only to hear a rumble behind us, and dozens of huge black rocks rolled down, blocking the entrance.
I saw that the way was broken, so I turned back to look around, it turned out that we were in a square stone house of only a dozen square meters, and there was an ancient large stone box on the ground, this stone box was completely different from the black stone that can be seen everywhere in the city, the ash was very simple, the appearance was unique, we had never heard of it, we had never seen it.
The stone box is more than half a meter high and more than one meter long, and the craftsmanship is extremely precise, and there are several stone paintings carved on it, and I don't know what it is used for.
We patronized and looked at the peculiar stone box, did not notice that there were two people sitting cross-legged on both sides of the stone box, and when they got closer, they suddenly used a flashlight to shine, and the three of them were taken aback, and the flashlight in their hands fell to the ground, and the stone room was suddenly pitch black, only to hear the fat man shouting: "Two zongzi!" ”
In the dark, Shirley Yang took out a spare flashlight, and when he saw two people sitting cross-legged by the stone box, it turned out to be two shriveled corpses.
The remains, old and young, had turned dark brown, and the beard on the old man's jaw was still faintly recognizable, and his body was wrapped in sheepskin; The other, who appeared to be a young child, sat cross-legged as if guarding the strange stone box.
After I saw it clearly, I took a breath and said to the fat man: "Don't carry zongzi at every turn in the future, scare people to death and not pay for their lives, these two are clearly about to become fossils, not to mention dead for thousands of years." Fuck this was a burial chamber. ”
Shirley Yang glared at me and said angrily, "Okay, you old Hu, you still want to hide it from me?" You two guys are clearly grave robbers. ”
I chuckled in my heart, the secret way is not good, we didn't talk about it? Could it be that she, an American, can even understand "zongzi"? Fortunately, Professor Chen was unconscious and didn't hear it, and the other Ye Yixin seemed to be in a semi-comatose state, so it was impossible to hear our conversation.
I hurriedly defended: "Didn't I tell you, I just love to study feng shui astrology, not a tomb robber, don't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air in the future." The reputation of the fat man and I is very good, and I am a well-known good offspring in my hometown. I am a veteran, and the fat man was in their unit back then, and he was also rated as a model worker every year as the 38th Red Flag Bearer or something. ”
The fat man heard that I was in a hurry to say the last sentence wrong, and hurriedly corrected it, by the way trying to divert the topic: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he ...... Mom is the 38th Red Flag Bearer, I am a youth commando, I am ashamed and ashamed, I am well trained by the party and the people. You see this stone box is also strange, what is this thing in? ”
Shirley Yang didn't answer our words, and suddenly said: "Set the plate and hang a thousand gold, and the Haizi hexagram sounds." Hook and kick the pole and pour the big top Yuanliang, and the moon trick is far away. ”
Others can't understand her words, but I can hear them clearly, this is the "lip dictionary" of the inverted bucket. Because in our profession, we can't see the light, just like the underworld has a code word on the underworld. On the underworld, abducting and selling women is called opening strips, smuggling goods is called carrying greens, selling children is called moving stones, thieves are called Buddhas, etc., and we rob tombs are called inverted buckets, all of which have their own rules and hidden words, so as to facilitate mutual communication between peers. At that time in the Republic of China, my grandfather specialized in looking for treasures in the Yin House, and was one of the few local feng shui masters at that time.
Shirley Yang Gang said a few lip dictionaries to me, which roughly meant: "You have a bad heart, you don't tell the truth, you see that you are a tomb robber with sharp hands and feet, and this kind of thing can't hide from my eyes." ”
I was asked by her suddenly, without thinking about it, I am generally called a master by my peers, and I have to be humble, so I blurted out: "There is no Yuanliang, the mountain moves firewood and burns the fire under the mountain, dare to ask this top Yuanliang, where to divide the mountain armor, how many mounds are dismantled?" ”
Shirley Yang continued: "A river has a view on both sides of the river, the same is the mountain to move firewood and burn the fire under the mountain, the partridge divides the mountain armor, the harrier solves the hill door, and many have climbed the treasure hall, and there is nowhere to find the dragon tower." ”
A pair of mouths, I was shocked and regretted, damn it, this time I counted the way of this American girl, doesn't this mean that I admit that I am a tomb robber who is upside down? But it's also strange, these large sections of the inverted lip canon, not many people understand before the liberation, after the liberation is basically lost, like the big gold tooth and his father who has been doing the inverted fight for many years of semi-professional tomb robbers, what I know and hear is just a few nouns, I really can't imagine that these incisions actually came from the mouth of a young American woman, if you don't hear it face-to-face, how can you believe it, did you actually meet a peer?
And listening to what she said, she is also an ancestral skill, but she has no skills, but she doesn't know how to read feng shui to identify acupoints and pulses. No, I couldn't admit it, so I continued to pretend to be stupid, so I said, "These poems are the texts we learned in elementary school, and I can't think of American elementary school textbooks...... It's also the same. ”
Shirley Yang saw that I was messing around and refused to admit it, so he had to say: "Forget it, this is not a place to talk, if we can go back alive, I hope to have a serious talk with you." ”
If I was amnesty, I hurriedly stood up and looked around for a way out, secretly thinking: "If you can go back, you will definitely not find me, hum, it's a big deal for me to go back to my hometown, and I won't be in Beijing." But then he thought again: "No, she hasn't given us any money yet, this is really tricky...... What exactly is her intention? It can't be that it's really like the fat man said, she fell in love with my old beard, otherwise she was planning to report and expose it, can't she? Could it be that her ancestors really couldn't touch the golden captain? That's a good match for me......"
While I was thinking about it, the fat man and Shirley Yang had already circled the small burial chamber several times, and their heads and feet, in front of and behind them, were full of pitch-black rocks, and in some places there were a few cracks, all too small to find a way out.
At this time, Professor Chen screamed and woke up, he was delirious, crying and laughing for a while, he didn't know anyone, we had no medical treatment, there was nothing to do about him, we could only let him toss like crazy.
Finally our eyes fell on the large stone box between the two dried corpses, but even if there was any burial treasure in it, it would be useless to those of us who were about to die.
The fat man patted the stone box and said, "I don't know which two poor ghosts are buried in this small tomb, except for the sheepskin on the body, there is not even a decent burial goods, and there is probably nothing good in it." ”
Shirley Yang looked carefully at the graphics carved on the stone box, and suddenly looked up and said to me, "Do you remember what I said about the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions"? There was a mention of Mount Zagrama in it. ”
I said, "I remember, it seems that it is a sacred mountain, and there are two ancestors buried, but it can't be this old and one young, this tomb is so simple, and it does not conform to the identity of the first saint." "I wanted to go on to say that I have seen a lot of ancient tombs, and the tombs in the belly of this stone mountain are not in line with the theory of feng shui at all. However, if I said this, my identity would inevitably be revealed, so I only said half of it, and swallowed back the words that followed.
Shirley Yang said: "The burial in this tomb is not the first saint, this child is a disciple or son of the first saint, called a prophet, and this old man is his servant. ”
I wondered, "How do you know?" Could it be that the carved figure of this stone box says so? Is there anything else on it? ”
Shirley Young beckoned me to look at the stone box with the fat man: "The dozens of patterns carved on this stone box are an ancient prophecy, the composition is very simple, the characteristics of the symbols are very obvious, I think I can understand part of it." ”
The more I listened, the more curious I became: "What was prophesied?" Did you say where the secret passage of this stone chamber is? ”
Shirley Yang shook his head and said, "No, this prophecy doesn't seem to be very accurate, the prophet said that after his death, no one came to this burial chamber until one day, four people inadvertently opened this stone box......"
The fat man counted: "One, two, three, four, five, there are five of us, isn't Professor Chen a human being if he is crazy?" It can be seen that this prophet is not accurate, and most of them are also a god who deceives the world and steals his name. ”
I stared at the other four and said, "If the prophet wasn't a liar, this prophecy might not be about us." But there's another possibility...... We have one here who is not human. ”
