Chapter 64: Map of the Ancient Tomb
Maybe it's because the night pearl overhead here is too right, illuminating the inside of the tomb, so we didn't notice a very important thing, the stone door of the tomb has been tightly closed.
It wasn't until we finished eating, drinking, and packing up to set off that we found out. A few of us searched inside for a long time, but we still couldn't find where the mechanism that opened the stone door was.
This is a very surprising situation, and now we have eaten the last bit of food we can eat, and if we are trapped here and can't get out, then we will have to wait here to die.
Besides, we've used up the last grenade, or we'll blow the two stone doors open. Now there are only two ways, either find the mechanism that opens the stone door and open the stone door to get out, or find another way out.
We've been looking for a long time to open the mechanism of the stone door, but we still can't find it. So now the last hope is to find another way out here. But whether there will be another way out here is still a question.
Seeing this, the big head kicked the stone door in a bit of a gloomy way, turned around and no longer looked at it, but leaned against the wall, staring closely at the woman on the mural, as if he couldn't finish it.
Princess Tongchang is very beautiful, and I want to see it too, but I want to get out alive now. So this time, instead of looking at the paintings on the wall with the big head, I was thinking about how to find the exit quickly.
The methods that I had used to find exits in other tombs were basically useless here. The temperature in the tomb of Princess Tongchang is too low, and the temperature here is relatively high, so there will always be alternating temperatures, so it also drives the circulation of air, so that the torches are always fluttering, but they can't find an exit.
"Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, what should I do now?" I was a little anxious, I was originally here to find news of my grandfather, but I found out that my grandfather may not be here at all, and so many people have died, and I don't want to be trapped here.
Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye shook their heads at the same time, and sat down a little decadently, but they still said comfortingly: "Don't worry, everyone, there must be a way, think of other ways first." ”
Seeing the eyes of Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye, I knew that they had no choice now. What can we do about things that even they can't do?
By now, I'm starting to regret that I didn't destroy the mural and blew the walls of the tomb open with a grenade, and if we hadn't used the last grenade, we could have blown it out with a grenade.
I walked to Datou a little dejectedly, leaned against the wall with him, and looked at the mural of Princess Tongchang on the wall. The big head heard what was said just now, turned to me and smiled at me and said, "It feels good here, Qiangzi, if I die before you, remember to put me next to the crystal coffin, I want to keep looking at her." ”
Looking at the appearance of the big head, it doesn't seem like a joke, I feel a little lost in my heart, has the big head given up the **** of survival, or is the impact of Princess Tongchang on the big head too great, so that he is willing to die in this tomb and be buried for her.
I patted Datou on the shoulder and said to him: "Datou, don't worry, we can go out, your family is still waiting for you to marry your daughter-in-law and give birth to a baby, and pass on the ancestry, you can't just die here." ”
Hearing the family, the big head sighed, turned his head and looked at the portrait of Princess Tongchang on the wall, and didn't say anything more. I also looked at the portrait of Princess Tongchang with the big head, and the woman in the painting still blinked her eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted a lovely smile.
Looking at it like this, it seems that all the troubles are gone, no wonder I heard that we couldn't say it just now, and the big head didn't react much, and said that it was good here.
Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye were discussing something over there, Zheng Wen didn't know what to churn in his backpack, and the crooked mouth was with Datuan, wiping his Tang knife.
I was looking at the mural, thinking about myself as I watched. Looking at it, I feel that the mural seems to be different, the woman is still the same woman, but if you look closely, the lines formed by the mural are very much like a map.
When I saw this, I was shocked, could this be the map inside the tomb. So I hurriedly looked for the place I was familiar with, and after looking for a long time, I found that there was no place I was familiar with, isn't this a map here?
Some were unwilling, so they continued to look at it from a different angle. From another angle, Princess Tongchang on the screen has also changed, so the lines have changed.
Finally, I saw the place I was familiar with, and it turned out to be the pool where Kong Sanye said it was Kun. But it should be on the third floor, the bottom layer, according to what Kong Sanye said, it should be the three-phase tomb before the Warring States Period, but why is there a map of that layer on the mural of Princess Tongchang.
I continued to look and found more and more familiar places, all of them on the third floor. If this is the place of the third layer, then there are three different appearances of this portrait, then there must be one of these second layers.
"Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, come here." As for these professional things, I still trust the vision of these two, although it was a little unpleasant before, but now it is a time of life and death, and we must put everything aside and help each other in the same boat.
When Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye heard me call them, they looked at me suspiciously, and the others also raised their heads to look at me in confusion. Especially the big head, he was not far from me, and I didn't know what I was calling Uncle Zheng to do here.
Despite some doubts, Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye got up and came to my side. I asked them to stand where I was, pointed out the mural, and told them what I thought, and they both looked at it seriously.
It didn't take long for the two of them to connect the map on the mural with the inside of the ancient tomb, but it was only on the third floor. Then the three of us sat down together, looked up at the mural, and began to look closely, trying to see if we could match the second floor.
The three of us sat there, and you and I made a summary of all the places we knew, and almost matched the map of the second layer with the mural.
Seeing this, it's time to look for a way out. Now we have almost all our hopes pinned on the map of this mural.
At the beginning, I could still say some words, but the next two people were basically analyzing Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng, and I could only listen to it on the side.
When Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng were analyzing, they also heard words like exit in the big group, so they all gathered around, and everyone looked at Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye who were sitting on the ground.
It didn't take long for the two of them to seem to have reached an agreement, and they seemed to be a little excited, as if they had found the place where the exit was.
"Qiangzi, big head, big group, Zheng Wen" A few of you go and move the one in the middle of the three coffins, Kong Sanye stood up, rubbed his knees and said to us.
I glanced at Kong Sanye with some doubts, the coffin looked like it weighed at least a few thousand catties, it was purely stone, how could it be moved by the four of us.
The three of them were also like me, quietly looking at Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng, hoping to get an explanation. Uncle Zheng saw that we were all waiting there and didn't move, so he said, "Let you go, just go, that coffin is not that heavy, it just looks heavy, and the four of you will definitely be able to move." ”
The four of us glanced at Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye suspiciously, and began to move towards the coffin in the middle. Datuan and Zheng Wen tied the rope to the coffin, and then the four of us pulled the rope together in one direction.
The coffin was indeed not as heavy as it looked, and as Uncle Zheng said, the four of us were able to move. It didn't take much effort for the four of us to move the coffin to the side, revealing the stone steps below.
I turned to Kong Sanye and they glanced at them and asked, "Kong Sanye, do you want to get off from here?" Kong Sanye turned around and glanced at the murals on the wall, then nodded at Uncle Zheng and said, "That's right, just go down from here." ”
Zheng Wen put away the rope, went over and picked up Uncle Zheng, and crooked his mouth also picked up Kong Sanye. I asked with some confusion: "Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, have you found the way out of this ancient tomb, or have you only found a way out from here?" ”
"Qiangzi, don't worry, the map of the entire tomb is here. Going out is certainly not a problem. Kong Sanye pointed to his head with a finger, indicating that he had memorized the map of the entire tomb in his mind.
Seeing that Kong Sanye is so confident, I am also a lot more relieved. Datuan was already the first to go down, and he crooked his mouth behind him to support Kong Sanye, Zheng Wen supported Uncle Zheng to follow behind, and the big head turned his head and looked at the portrait of Princess Tongchang on the wall, still a little reluctant.
I patted Datou's shoulder again, and said in a somewhat relaxed tone: "Datou, let's go, your family is still waiting for you to go back to marry your daughter-in-law and have a son." "Maybe it's because I've found a way out, so my heart is completely relaxed.
The big head turned around and sighed, no longer looking back at the murals on the wall, and directly followed Uncle Zheng and them onto the stone steps, and slowly went down.
After they had all gone down, I glanced at the mural again, smiled at the woman in the mural, and then turned and followed.
It didn't take long to walk until we reached the burial chamber below. I saw that this burial chamber was similar in structure to the one above, but it was empty inside, and there was nothing.
After Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng saw that all of us had gone down to this floor, they turned on their flashlights and looked around, pointed to the half-open stone door over there, said "there", and began to walk over there.
The burial chamber below was dark and not illuminated by those night pearls above, so we had to turn on the flashlights. Since I didn't know how much I had to go next, I asked Kong Sanye with some hesitation: "Kong Sanye, the map shows how long it will take to get out, if it takes a long time, turn off a few flashlights to save power." ”
"It's okay, you can walk out in two days at most, don't worry." Kong Sanye's words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for me, thinking that I can go out in two days. When I go out, I must have a good meal, what hot dry noodles, stewed noodles, rice bowls, soup dumplings, etc., now I start to drool when I think about this.
After walking out of the burial chamber, there is a long and narrow burial road, which is less than two meters wide, pitch black, and there is standing water under the ground that does not reach the surface of the feet. After being in the tomb for so long, the shoes have long been useless, and I am already a little used to this stagnant water, so I don't find it difficult.
Suddenly, there was a sound of metal clashing ahead, and the whole team stopped. The big head shouted to the front: "Zheng Wen, what's going on in front?" ”
