As we walked down the central avenue, it was almost certain that it was a large underground tomb.

I only know that the Qin and Han dynasties paid attention to deep burial and thick burial, but it was only about 30 meters into the ground, the deepest but Qin Shi Huang, according to legend, 100 meters deep, wearing three springs, who is the owner of this ancient tomb? How could such a large tomb be buried under a hundred meters of soil?

Maybe it's the dead bodies in the many square holes that are exuding dead air, the temperature at the bottom of this gourd, it did drop several degrees suddenly, I thought it was early autumn, but now I feel even colder, tofu rubbed the goosebumps on both arms, regretting that I shouldn't have burned my coat, and I shivered with cold.

As I walked forward, I noticed a strange phenomenon, because the square hole in the surrounding wall was a burial pit for livestock, so we naturally thought of the corpse wrapped in the square hole as a burial companion, but the further we went, the weaker this idea became, because the square hole gradually expanded, and the black mat was replaced by a coffin. At first, it was a rotten wooden coffin that was not painted, then a black lacquered coffin, and finally more and more colored coffins painted red and gold. This shows that the further back they go, the higher the status of the deceased, and the number of them, which does not look like a simple burial.

The bottom of this gourd is bigger than we imagined, strictly speaking, it is not big, it can only be said to be very long.

The square-hole corpse wall on both walls stretches endlessly. At this time, the advantages of the family training of Zhen Rui and others were revealed, and I heard Zhen Rui say: "I see. "Looks like I've figured something out. Tofu doesn't hold grudges very much, and has long forgotten how Jì Zhuan Rui rectified him before, his head leaned over, and he said curiously: "Tuhao, what did you find?" ”

Zhen Rui didn't bother to look at him, and walked forward, in fact, Gu Wenmin and I were also quite curious, but the thought of face was troublesome, rather than looking at Zhen Rui's face, it was better to hold back. Tofu is completely two-skinned, and he is not angry when he is ignored, he sticks to it like a dog's tail, and repeats himself: "What did you find?" Tell me about it? Curiosity will suffocate cats? Meow meow~~~ local tyrants, local tyrants, etc., I ......" Zhen Rui was probably impatient with his noise, and snorted, half of his burned face looked extremely terrifying, and said, "You belong to a dog, right?" ”

Tofu looked shocked and said in shock: "You, how do you know? "Zhen Rui really guessed correctly, tofu belongs to dogs.

Zhen Rui originally hit him verbally, but he didn't expect to guess it, he was dumbfounded for a while, and then shook his head, probably defeated by cheekiness, and said: "We all guessed wrong before, this is not a burial tomb, this is a group tomb, after the death of the people of Zimu Kingdom, according to their different identities, they are all placed here." ”

I suddenly remembered the legend about the Guzimu Kingdom, according to legend, they are a people who crawled out of the ground, and with the help of the Huangquan ghost tree to travel between the underworld and the world, this so-called underworld, could it be that this is here? The people of the Earth Ghost Clan bury their relatives after death in this tomb, and then climb out of the ground along the Huangquan Ghost Tree, isn't it very similar to the legend? Coupled with the passage of time and word of mouth, the legend inevitably changed, and it became the version we hear now?

As soon as I said my thoughts, everyone nodded, and Gu Da Meinu said: "What you said is very reasonable, but there is one thing that I think is strange, just now we all thought that this tomb was too big, but if this is a group burial tomb in the entire Zimu Country, it seems too small in comparison." ”

She got to the point, if this place is a person's tomb, it will be too big, and if it is a country's tomb, even if it is a small country whose people are unknown, it will be a little insufficient. Hearing this, Tofu pointed to the dark place in front of us and said, "Gu Da Beauty, don't worry, look, this road is still in sight, it's hard to say how big it is." ”

Tofu speaks straightforwardly and considers things relatively simply, but this simplicity is sometimes more thorough, and what he says is quickly fulfilled. We continued along the avenue under our feet, and in this heavy dead air, the temperature seemed to be lower, and we had come a long way, and when we looked back, we could only see a dark and misty fog, which was not a tangible fog, but one could feel its existence.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in the mushroom digging industry, the jargon calls this kind of fog 'Yin kill', take the homonym of yin, there is a god called Guan Yinzi in myths and legends, Yin kill has the meaning of helping the right and driving away evil, in fact, this is what we call yin in words.

Yin Qi cannot be seen or touched, but when Yin Qi is strong enough to a certain extent, ordinary people can also feel it.

The way from is no longer visible, the gourd waist has long been left behind us, and the future is even more unknown. The further we went, the more square holes there were, and then we came up with a pattern. The burial of these corpses is arranged according to two laws, the first law is status, and the second law is about the occupation, there will be different patterns on the coffin, because of the distance, we can't see the specific appearance clearly.

I walked forward for a while, but I still didn't get to the end, and this feeling was even weirder. The darkness underneath the ground, the corpses are dense, and there is a dead silence all around, except for the monotonous footsteps of us. Walking in such a dead environment, it is like really walking into the underworld, and even the footsteps are involuntarily lowered, so that the feeling of dead silence is even stronger.

I'm not used to talking nonsense, but I'm becoming more vigilant, and everyone's breathing is getting heavier as the temperature gradually decreases, and there is also uneasiness in this heaviness.

In the end, it was Tofu who broke the silence and suddenly sang:

In the middle of the night, I look forward to the dawn

In the cold winter, the wax moon is looking forward to the spring breeze

If you want to hope for the Red Army to come

The ridge is full of yo reflecting the mountain red

…………

I know that tofu wants to use singing to dispel fear, this is probably human instinct, no need to be taught, when children are afraid of walking at night, they will naturally sing or make some movements, about people are born afraid of darkness and silence, but it is difficult for tofu to pretend to be an artist, this broken gong voice listens to the people are really numb, goosebumps straight down, such a kind, this kind of eerie atmosphere is indeed relieved a lot, everyone tacitly decided to endure for a while.

At this moment, Tofu's singing suddenly stopped, and suddenly said, "There is a light ahead." "Not only did he see it, but all of us saw it, and in front of the darkness, there was a light like a bean beating, and it was not some cyan ghost fire, nor some black flame of witchcraft, but a very normal, bright yellow fire.

In such a gloomy and cold environment, at first glance, people can't help but feel a burst of warmth, but when you look at it again, you will feel that something is wrong: how can there be fire in the depths of the earth?

Everyone looked at each other, and I kicked the tofu and said, "Keep singing." ”

Tofu stared at the fire in the distance and said nervously, "What are you singing?" ”

"Whatever, just be brave."

Tofu swallowed his throat and tore open his stool:

The great river flows eastward

The stars in the sky are in the Big Dipper

Let's go

You've got me, you've got it all, wow

…………

The crowd gradually approached the firelight with the rather 'majestic' song of Tofu, and after a while, the avenue came to an end, and at the end was a circular platform.

This platform is very strange, there is a wide passage on the left and right, I don't know where it leads, in front of the two passages, each has a strange figure kneeling and sitting, the figurine has its head up, and its face is masked, one left and one right, looking at each other from afar.

In front of the platform, there is a half-open stone door, and there is a layer of green powder in front of the stone door, which covers almost the entire platform. The powder was like flour, so quietly clinging to it that I couldn't tell what it was. And at the moment when he saw the powder, Zhen Rui stretched out his hand violently, covered Tofu's singing mouth at once, and sighed in his mouth.

Tofu cleverly stopped his mouth, and then, Zhen Rui pointed to the powder, lowered his voice, and said in a very light tone: "It's heavy copper powder, after touching the wound, the wound will rot, and if you inhale it, it will cause alveoli." "I immediately understood that the ancients were good at using mechanisms, and this heavy copper powder eight achievements are a kind of door protection mechanism. This door is open, presumably the masterpiece of Grandpa and his party, so the mechanism behind the door was activated, and the poisonous powder sprayed out and sprayed all over the ground.

Thinking of this, I felt a sudden shock in my heart, and said in my heart: Look at the weight of this poisonous powder, eighty percent of my grandfather's group of people have been recruited. Immediately after that, I made a gesture and said, "Take out all the clothes in your equipment bag, and don't show anything except your eyes." ”

Everyone moved quickly, wrapped their bodies tightly, stepped on the heavy copper powder on the ground, and began to walk towards the open stone gate, and the light came from behind the stone gate.

The powder is very light, and even if we are very slow and cautious, with every step we take, the poisonous powder will float up, and they will be fine like smoke, which makes people unguarded. Although our whole body was protected, there was still a part missing, and the eyes were not protected, so in this short distance, I only felt that my eyes were burning and the pain was unbearable, and the rest of us were similar, and at a glance, they all looked like their eyes were red and swollen.

Fortunately, this road was not long, and everyone quickly passed through this poisonous area, and when they reached the back of the stone gate, I felt that my eyes not only hurt, but also my vision began to blur, and most of the rest of the people were like this, and everyone did not care to go forward to find the firelight, so they quickly untied their clothes, threw aside the clothes stained with poisonous dust, and took out clean water to rinse their eyes, and tossed and turned, so that they did not become blind. It's just that in this way, our clear water is completely exhausted.
