Chapter 25: The Bronze Coffin
Qin Guihe's question was very sudden, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but the stone cave was too narrow, and the people in front of them couldn't change their bodies at will. But this sentence still made everyone's hearts cold, in such a narrow and deep stone cave, even if there is a flashlight lighting, but because human beings have an instinctive fear of the dark, so as soon as there is some wind and grass, everyone immediately holds their breath, and seems to be very worried about what will happen next.
For a while, the sound of each other's heartbeats could almost be heard in the silence of the surroundings, and everyone did not speak, but listened attentively to all the movements around them. However, after a long time, he didn't hear any strange sounds, so Wang Chengbao said, "Hey, Qin Er, don't scare people on this big night!" Where is there any sound? ”
After a while, my father also said, "Yes, I didn't hear any sound either, Guihe, you heard it wrong." ”
Everyone couldn't see Qin Guihe's expression, because he walked behind the most man, and only heard him say timidly: "Big, probably, I hope I heard it wrong." ”
"Holy shit, I was a fucking soldier like that." Wang Chengbao pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Qin Guiren walked in front, and he didn't hear it in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, because Wang Chengbao had spent a lot of money to hire them as guides before, people died for money, birds died for food, and with other people's money, it was naturally not good to lose his temper casually, so he had to snort and continue to walk forward.
In this way, after walking for a while, I heard Qin Guihe say from behind: "No, no, there must be a voice, didn't you hear it?" ”
Wang Chengbao didn't even have the patience to calm down and listen carefully this time, and said directly: "I said that you are not finished, there is a timid person here, do you have to scare him?" ”
My father was still tight, but he wasn't worried about anything else, he was afraid of the presence of snakes in this not very solid cellar.
The father asked, "Guihe, you have been saying that there is a voice, but we really haven't heard anything, but you can tell me what sound you heard." ”
Qin Guihe didn't answer in the back, Wang Chengbao took two sips and said, "Look at you, let you say it or not." ”
"I say, I say!" Qin Guihe seemed to have some scruples, but at this time, everyone couldn't see his complicated and frightened expression, Qin Guihe said hesitantly: "I, I seem to hear the sound of a child crying." ”
When Duan Yuwen heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" Why didn't I hear that? ”
The father said: "Guihe, don't talk nonsense, the joke is still young, and he experienced that kind of thing just now, don't scare him anymore." ”
Qin Guihe was not talking in the back, Wang Chengbao waved his hand and urged Qin Guiren in front of him: "Let's go, this shabby place is too aggrieved, and it is safe to go out early." ”
In this way, the five of them continued to walk down the stone cave, and after about a cigarette, they finally came to an open area. It's just that at that time, no one expected that this area would be so open, and the light pillar of the flashlight could not even find the opposite wall, and they seemed to be standing on a cliff somewhere, with a buffer platform outside, and a long stone staircase further on.
Wang Chengbao was so bold that on a whim, he said "ah" at the dark and spacious space, and after a while, the echo echoed throughout the space. Everyone was taken aback when the echo sounded, it was so loud, and it was passed back and forth between the stone walls several times.
"Oh my God, judging by this echo, it must be a big place." Duan Yuwen said.
Wang Chengbao nodded and said, "I said Qin Er, did you see it, what sound did you say you heard just now, it is very likely that it was our own echo from here, right?" ”
No one answered.
"Qin Er?" Wang Chengbao shouted, "What, are you still angry when you say two words?" Gentlemen, we're not going to do this, are we? ”
Still no one answered.
An extremely ominous feeling spread among everyone in an instant, when Duan Yuwen was walking in front of Qin Guihe, so Wang Chengbao asked him: "Duanzi, you are walking in front of Qin Er, didn't he follow?" ”
Duan Yuwen thought about it, but he felt very uncertain, and said: "This, I'm not sure, when we walked together, the footsteps were very chaotic, and I couldn't tell the difference, but I remembered that there was his wheezing sound behind me, and he should have come with us." ”
Qin Guiren couldn't hold back his worries at this time, so he was busy at the entrance of the cave when he came just now, shone it in with a flashlight, and shouted Qin Guihe's name twice, but no one answered.
The father said, "Could it be that he has gone down when we are not looking?" ”
When Qin Guiren heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then let's go down and have a look." ”
But the father stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go down so rashly, our flashlight can't shine on the situation below, do you have any strong lighting tools on you?" ”
Wang Chengbao opened his backpack at this time and took out a few gunfight-like things from it, his father asked what it was, but he didn't expect Wang Chengbao to say unusually easily: "I made my own magnesium bullet." ”
My father and the others were amazed, because when they first came here, they only brought some fairly simple equipment, a few machetes to open the way through the mountains and forests, a few flashlights, a few packets of compressed biscuits, and some other necessary bits and pieces. However, this Wang Chengbao was so thoughtful that he actually brought a homemade magnesium bomb.
At that time, like a wolf's eye flashlight, it had not yet entered the country, and flares could not be bought casually, but people in that era were very hands-on and bold, as long as they understood some principles, they dared to do it themselves. But even so, my father and Qin Guiren still felt very uneasy.
Qin Guiren had been a soldier, and he knew that the flares used in the military were also made of magnesium as the main raw material, and the huge heat and luminosity released by magnesium when it was burned were incomparable to other substances, so he said worriedly: "Wait, Mr. Wang, can your magnesium light bomb be safe?" ”
"Fuck, you're doing it for the first time, I'll really tell you, don't you scream at a gentleman, in the academic world, who doesn't know that I Wang Chengbao is a famous wild road?" As he spoke, Wang Chengbao picked up a lighter, lit a homemade magnesium bomb, and threw it down.
The burning of the magnesium light bomb was very stable, and as the dazzling white light expanded little by little, a shocking picture appeared in front of the eyes of the four people. According to Duan Yuwen's recollection, at that time, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, so much so that after the first magnesium bomb burned out, Wang Chengbao immediately threw another one.
What emerges is a magnificent picture: a huge stone chamber the size of two football fields, reminiscent of the Colosseum of ancient Rome. In the center and on both sides of the stone chamber, there are two rows of stone pillars, the stone pillars are fifteen meters long, the diameter can be surrounded by two adults, visually, the number of stone pillars is not less than thirty, the blue-black stone pillars are carved with totem runes of different forms, and in the middle of this row of stone pillars, there are hundreds of bronze coffins, their shape and size are all the same, but the runes on the very few bronze coffins are slightly different.
My father was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, and according to Duan Yuwen's recollections, my father, who never spoke rudely on weekdays, also exclaimed that day: "Fuck, these villagers, they, they have hollowed out the whole mountain, where is this cellar, it's a dungeon!" ”
Wang Chengbao's surprise was no less than that of my father, but in addition to being shocked, he felt even more excited, as if everything in front of him supported his previous secret judgment.
Qin Guiren was even more dumbfounded at the moment, he originally felt weird and abnormal just by seeing a bronze coffin, but now, hundreds of bronze coffins were listed in front of him, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while.
Just when everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them, Duan Yuwen suddenly pointed to the northeast corner of the underground palace and said, "Look there." ”
Everyone was curious, turned their heads, and saw that among the many bronze coffins in the northeast corner, there was a figure squatting, that body type and clothing, isn't it Qin Guihe!
