Chapter 43: The Bloody Corpse Appears
Everyone searched for it in front of the tomb. The walls in the tomb are made of bluestone bricks, and Huang Yixian thinks that if there is really a mechanism to open the tomb door, it should be one of the stone bricks, but because he said not to touch it, everyone does not dare to try it with their hands, so they can only carefully check it with the naked eye.
After searching for a long time, but still finding nothing, Xia Longsheng was a little impatient, he straightened up, and said: "I see, just use explosives to blow up this iron gate, we can use directional blasting, it will not have too much impact on the tomb." ”
Huang Yixian immediately waved his hand: "Never!" We don't know what's going on in the tomb yet, but if there's something evil inside, once the door is blown open, there's nothing to stop it. ”
Professor Dong echoed on the side: "Mr. Huang is right, and this iron gate can be regarded as an antique, and it must not be easily destroyed." ”
"Hehe, I'm kidding! But where is this mechanism? I think every brick is pretty much the same. ”
As soon as Xia Longsheng finished speaking, Liu Chengwu, who had been checking in front of the iron gate, shouted: "Come here, this brick seems to be a little different." ”
Everyone immediately gathered around, and on the left side of the iron gate, there was a brick that was slightly concave inward, and the gap around it was slightly larger than the gap between the other bricks, and it did look like a mechanism that could be pushed.
Xia Longsheng didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he stretched out his hand and wanted to press the brick, but was pulled by Huang Yixian: "Wait first!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Huang Yixian frowned and said, "This brick is a bit strange, I'm afraid it may not be the mechanism that opens the iron door." ”
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"If you think about it, the owner of the tomb must not want people to find it easily when he set up a mechanism outside the tomb that can open the tomb door, but this brick is so close to the tomb door that even if it is not discovered, it is easy for people to accidentally touch it. So in my opinion, this is probably a trap set by the owner of the tomb, and maybe as soon as you press it, countless hidden weapons will shoot out. ”
Hearing Huang Yixian say this, Xia Longsheng was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand.
"Then Mr. Huang, where do you think this mechanism will be set up?" Professor Dong asked.
Huang Yixian raised his head and looked around, his gaze finally fell on the arched iron gate, he squinted, and said thoughtfully: "The mechanism must be set up in a place that will not be easily touched." ”
Professor Dong was slightly stunned: "You mean, the organ may be on there?" ”
"It's possible!" After Huang Yixian finished speaking, he immediately lay on the ground to find something. Everyone thought he had dropped something, and they all hurriedly dodged aside.
The cheap asked curiously, "Dad, what are you looking for?" ”
Huang Yixian didn't answer, just looked at the ground, and after a while, he seemed to have found something, raised his head, pointed his hand to the ground, and said to everyone, "Look here." ”
We all leaned over and looked down, only to see that where he was pointing with his hand, there was a square mud mark that was indented inward, about three or four centimeters long and wide.
He pointed around again, and everyone realized that there were actually four mud marks of the same size on the ground. Moreover, the positions of these four clay prints are symmetrical to each other, and if they are connected by lines, they are a very regular rectangle.
"Mr. Huang, what does this mean?" Professor Dong asked.
"If I didn't guess, it should be the traces left by the herringbone ladder."
"Herringbone ladder? You're saying that the grave robbers used to put up a herringbone ladder here? Professor Dong slapped his head and suddenly realized: "I understand, the mechanism is above this door!" ”
Huang Yixian nodded: "Very likely!" ”
Seabeard immediately turned his head to Xia Longsheng and Li Song and said, "Longsheng, Li Song, you two go up and move a herringbone ladder down." ”
"Hey!" Xia Longsheng and Li Song hurriedly walked outside the tomb.
After a while, the two came back with an aluminum alloy herringbone ladder, and everyone erected the herringbone ladder with all hands and feet, and aimed the four legs of the ladder at the four mud marks on the ground.
Huang Yixian grabbed the herringbone ladder with his hand and shook it a few times, very steadily. He turned to everyone and said, "I'll go up and have a look first, and if I find a mechanism to open the door, don't rush in first." ”
After saying that, he climbed up the ladder.
He climbed to the top of the ladder and carefully fumbled with his hands for the bluestone bricks above the tomb door.
Thinking that the tomb door would be opened at any time, my heart hung in my throat, and the others also looked very nervous, Seabeard even took out the military pistol on his waist, and the sound of the bullet loading made the atmosphere more and more tense, and I and the cheap also hurriedly took out the sharp axe that Huang Yixian handed over to us from the shoulder bag and held it tightly in our hands.
Huang Yixian groped for a while above the tomb door, and finally made a discovery, he found a stone brick on the left side above the tomb door.
"Found it, it should be here!"
He carefully pressed the stone brick, and immediately a constant "creaking" sound came from within the wall, apparently the sound of the mechanism activating.
However, for some reason, the tomb door did not open, and everyone was extremely nervous, for fear that Huang Yixian did not press the tomb door opening mechanism, but the triggering mechanism of some trap.
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, and the continuous creaking suddenly stopped, and then only a boom was heard, and the tomb door finally reacted, and slowly slid open to the left.
Seeing this, Huang Yixian immediately jumped from the ladder, and quickly took out a stack of Tiangang talismans from his satchel. When I saw this, I remembered that he had told us both to immediately post the Tiangang talisman as soon as we entered the tomb. So he hurriedly took out the Tiangang talisman from his satchel.
When the tomb door was fully opened, everyone was startled, there was actually a "person" standing at the door, and it was a "person" wearing ancient armor!
The first thing that came to my mind was the bloody corpse, and I suddenly felt a cold breath rushing to my head, and my heart almost didn't jump out of my throat. The others were also frightened, including Huang Yixian, everyone unconsciously took a few steps back.
However, the "man" did not rush over, but stood motionless in front of the tomb gate.
Everyone came to their senses, and took a closer look, it was not so much a person, but a dried corpse, its exposed skin was purple, completely shriveled, its face was very thin, its cheekbones protruded, it looked like a skeleton with some muscles attached, its arms were a little disproportionate to its body, and it looked very long, presumably because of the shrinkage of its body. And what makes people shudder is that all ten of its fingers actually have nails that are more than an inch long! The nails had turned black and looked like a dagger with a sharp handle.
On the door of its head, there is a charm pasted on it, this one is a special one, not drawn on the usual yellow table paper, but on a kind of black paper.
Huang Yixian took a deep breath and whispered, "It's a blood corpse!" ”
It was really a bloody corpse, and I couldn't help but feel a wild beat in my heart again. Seabeard immediately aimed his gun at the bloody corpse's head. Seeing this, Huang Yixian hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't shoot, this bloody corpse should have been subdued." ”
Professor Dong was slightly stunned: "Could it be that he was subdued by that talisman?" ”
Huang Yixian nodded: "It should be so!" ”
I asked suspiciously, "Uncle Shi, didn't you say that you can't use talismans to deal with bloody corpses?" ”
Huang Yixian frowned and said, "It's true that ordinary talismans can't deal with blood corpses, but I heard that there is a mysterious ghost talisman that makes a very powerful talisman, not only can it deal with blood corpses, but even more powerful Mao Zombie can deal with it." I didn't believe it before, and I didn't think there was such a powerful spell. ”
Li Song asked tremblingly, "That...... Will it still move? You won't wait for us to get closer, but give us a sudden call. ”
Xia Longsheng didn't think so: "Do you think such a dry corpse will still play tricks with us!" In my opinion, it was just an ordinary dried corpse, and the tomb robbers deliberately left it at the door, so as to make it a mystery. ”
The cheap gave him a blank look: "Then you have to try to tear off the talisman on its head!" ”
"Tear it up! You think I wouldn't dare! Xia Longsheng said, and actually took a step forward seriously, and stretched out his hand towards the bloody corpse.
Seeing this, Professor Dong hurriedly stopped: "Stop!" ”
Xia Longsheng retracted his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm just joking with this little brother!" I'm not that stupid! ”
The cheap snorted lightly: "Don't dare, don't dare, what else to borrow......"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Yixian had already been slapped on the back of the head, and he screamed "ouch" in pain.
"You stinky boy, why do you owe this mouth so much! At this time, I still talk nonsense! If you talk nonsense again, go back to Lao Tzu! Huang Yixian scolded the cheap and covered his face, and his expression was very serious, I haven't seen him so fierce for many years. The cheap touched the back of the slapping head and didn't dare to speak again.
Huang Yixian turned his head and said to me, "You two, go in with me first and paste the Tiangang talisman!" Others were waiting outside. ”
He walked slowly to the tomb door, and me and the cheap man hurried after him.
Since the bloody corpse was right in front of the door, we had to turn sideways through the gap on its side, and as we passed by it, a terrible stench crept into my nostrils, and I almost didn't vomit.
As soon as we walked into the mausoleum around the bloody corpse, we suddenly had a suffocating feeling, only to feel dizzy in our heads, Huang Yixian immediately said: "The oxygen content in this tomb is too low, hurry up and put on an oxygen mask." ”
I didn't dare to slack off, so we hurriedly took out the oxygen mask and put it on, and our breathing was finally much easier.
