Chapter 57: The Grave Keeper
It's not just beautiful, it's so fucking beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off it, but I saw that the top of the tomb was shining like a star.
It turned out to be a picture of the entire starry sky, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and the Cowherd and Vega were separated and looked at each other from afar. The Big Dipper hangs on the edge, and the constellation Orion is right at the other end of the Big Dipper. Just when I thought I was out of the tomb, Uncle Zheng's voice sounded in my ears.
"The pearl of the night, it turned out to be the pearl of the night." Uncle Zheng's words startled me again. The Night Pearl is a legendary treasure, very rare.
If each of these stars is a pearl of the night, then how many pearls of the night will be needed, and how much work will be required to complete the design of this tomb.
The big head over there is even more unbearable, and after hearing that this is the night pearl, he is actually looking for a place to go up, and it seems that he wants to dig one down from above. To be honest, I had the urge too, but after looking around for a week, I gave up on this unrealistic idea because it was too high to go up.
When I was looking for a place to go up everywhere, I suddenly touched my waist, and at the same time, the jade pendant on my chest also emitted a scorching temperature.
It seems that this neighborhood is not very peaceful, the big head did not continue to look for the place, but immediately looked towards me, I nodded at him, pointed to the place where the jade pendant was hanging on his chest, and signaled that he also felt it.
"Hadron son, let's go in and have a look." Kong Sanye no longer looked at the night pearl on the top of the tomb, turned to me and said. That's exactly what I want, and the most important reason I came in was to see if my grandfather had ever been here.
I whispered to a few of them to warn them of possible danger before walking cautiously with them towards the tomb.
The inside of the tomb was already very bright with the pearl of that night, so we turned off the flashlight to save some electricity and get ready for the rest of the trip.
However, the better news is that the injuries on the legs of Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng no longer need to be carried on their backs, and they can walk slowly on their own. This way, we're a little bit faster than before.
Datou and I walked in the front, and saw three coffins in the center of the tomb in front of us, so we asked Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng in the back to come and take a look.
After Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye glanced at it, they shook their heads at the same time, indicating that this would definitely not be Princess Tongchang's. Princess Tongchang will not be in the sarcophagus in the center of this tomb, and the ornaments carved on the sarcophagus are not exclusive to the royal family, but seem to be used for burial.
The three sarcophagi are swinging out in a zigzag shape, just to cover the two very large stone doors behind them. We have encountered many stone doors in the tomb before, but most of them are a single one, but this time we met two stone doors, and they looked very large and very magnificent.
"It seems that Princess Tongchang is inside." Uncle Zheng pointed to the two stone doors with his finger, looked at us and said, and Kong Sanye next to him also nodded in agreement with Uncle Zheng's opinion.
The two stone doors are closed, and if we want to see Princess Tongchang, we must first open these two stone doors before we can enter.
Just as we were about to go over and open the stone door, we had just walked out two steps when we heard a creaking sound. Listening carefully, the source of the sound turned out to be coming from three sarcophagi at the same time.
A few of us took a few steps back in fright, and looked at the sarcophagi cautiously. When Yu Pei prompted that there were ghosts nearby, we had already made mental preparations, and now Datou, Datuan, Crooked Mouth, and Zheng Wen and I all held shovels tightly in our hands, and Kong Sanye took out the pistol with only three bullets left.
What surprised me a little was that Uncle Zheng was also holding the same pistol as Kong Sanye in his hand. But after thinking about it carefully, I was relieved, Uncle Zheng came in with Brother Li and them, and the equipment was the same, so it was not surprising that there was this pistol.
Just as we were cautiously watching the movement over there, suddenly all the lids of the three sarcophagi were lifted and flew up, smashing towards us.
The lids of the three coffins, each weighing hundreds of pounds, would not survive if they were smashed on, so we quickly let go. At the same time, I also sighed in my heart, what is it that has so much strength to lift the lid of a coffin of hundreds of catties and fly up directly.
Turning to look in the direction of the coffin, there were three "people" standing in the three coffins. The leader is a man, a man and a woman behind him, the three of them are wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, and the Tang knife is hung around their waists.
This is a Tang knife for real combat, not a knife that is only used for decoration, and there are no ornaments on the hilt. Nowadays, many people do not know the real Tang knife and the Japanese knife, generally speaking, the Japanese knife has a certain arc, and the blade area generally accounts for more than half of the area of the knife body.
The Tang knife mostly adopts the shape of the straight body and gradually narrowing, and the blade area is generally about one-quarter, and the axe blade shape is adopted. The Japanese knife is created by changing it on the basis of the Tang knife, and it can be said that it inherited the Tang knife.
Several of us held our breath and looked at the three people in the sarcophagus, those three people should be the ones who guarded the tomb of Princess Tongchang, but they should have been dead for more than a thousand years, but now they seem to be really lifelike, and even the decorations on the clothes are faintly visible.
The three men just stood straight and looked at us, and they didn't move if we didn't move, and we went to the left, and they turned to the left.
"Uncle Zheng, what should I do?" I'm already a little bit of a retreat, these guys don't seem to be easy to mess with, and if they attack, none of us will be able to deal with them. The person they led me felt very similar to the feeling that Cold Knife gave me.
Thinking of the cold knife, I was afraid for a while, the cold knife is also in this situation now, and it is more flexible when it dies. And the cold knife is more terrifying than them, and now it's really wandering in the ancient tomb, and I don't know where I can suddenly encounter it.
"Just open that door and go in. They are gatekeepers and will not enter the gate. "What Uncle Zheng said is very simple, but it is very difficult to do.
We only took a small step forward before we heard a few rubbing sounds, and the knives of the three men on the other side had all been drawn from their waists, flashing with cold light.
It's a good knife, much better than the cold one. And this is a real Tang Dynasty antiquity Tang knife, not the kind that is imitated now. If you sell it in my store, you will definitely be able to sell melons at a good price.
After the three knives were drawn, we didn't dare to move anymore, for fear that they would actually do it. But Uncle Zheng seemed to be a little afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he raised his hand and fired a shot at the one he was the leader.
This shot really annoyed him, and the three "people" jumped out of the sarcophagus at the same time, and the tip of the knife was pointed down towards us.
"You deal with one with a crooked mouth, Datuan Zheng Wen, the two of you deal with one, me and Datou deal with one, just remember to drag them down. Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, you take advantage of the time to hurry up and open the stone door. When the three "people" rushed over, I immediately made the following arrangements.
The crooked mouth is the most powerful in us, so it feels like he should have no problem dragging the guy behind him. And Datuan and Zheng Wen together should be the most powerful of these three groups, so let them drag the one in front who looks the most powerful, and me and Datou drag the woman in the back.
Now I pin all my hopes on Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye, hoping that what they say will work. As long as the door is opened, these three to the "people" will stop attacking.
As soon as we finished speaking, the three "men" had already rushed over, and the knives slashed at us. The big head and I raised the shovel at the same time to block the woman's knife, and at the moment of contact, the shovel in my hand was almost shocked and flew out, I didn't expect this woman to have such great strength.
However, the resistance of the two of us also made the woman take two or three steps back. I took the time to look at Zheng Wenhe next to me with crooked mouths, and it was quite difficult to resist.
Fortunately, before going to the ancient tomb, when choosing a shovel, all the best quality ones were selected, if the quality of the selection was not good, this time it was docked with the Tang knife, and it was estimated that it would be cut off directly.
The woman had barely taken two steps back when she slashed diagonally with her knife in her hand. The big head shouted at me: "Qiangzi, I'll pick it up now, you take the opportunity to hit her to death." ”
The big head raised the shovel and took it stiffly, I saw that the big head's hands were trembling a little, and I didn't think about it at the time, and slapped it on the woman's head with all my strength.
I only heard the sound of touching, and it turned out to be like the sound of metal rubbing. My shovel seemed to have hit some metal, and it shook my jaws.
The woman turned to look at me and laughed. The woman who was already very beautiful smiled very charmingly, but this smile made my back break out in a cold sweat, I didn't expect to see this weird smile when I got here.
In this fright, the movement of my hand slowed down by half a beat, and the knife in the woman's hand slashed at me again, and I had no time to react. Fortunately, the big head over there was very close to me, and he took another hard step to save my life. The woman was shocked and took a few steps back, and I saw that the hand holding the shovel was also bleeding.
The big group next to him and Zheng Wen were even worse, Zheng Wen went to pick up the man's knife, but he was directly slapped and flew out two or three meters away. The most relaxed is the crooked mouth, the crooked mouth does not fight with the man's hard, but uses the advantage of his physical flexibility, jumping around from time to time to fight with him.
"Third Master Kong, what's going on over there, our side is about to be overwhelmed." After seeing the big group also flying out by that man, I couldn't help but shout loudly towards Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng.
"Hold on a little longer, there's a trap here, and when we break it, we'll be able to open the stone door." Uncle Zheng's words made me want to die. I don't know how long it will take to break this trap, and it will be really difficult for our side to hold on any longer.
My hands holding the shovel were already shaking, but fortunately, these "people" had been stabbing and slashing these moves, not like the martial arts masters on TV. Otherwise, a few of us would have died at their hands.
However, Zheng Wen still almost had an accident, after Datuan and Zheng Wen were both photographed, the man led by him chased after him and slashed down at Zheng Wen on the ground.
Fortunately, the crooked mouth over there was close, and Shengsheng blocked the knife, so that Zheng Wen avoided being killed here. However, the knife of the crooked mouth only stopped for a moment, and the man's knife still fell. But that moment was already enough for Zheng Wen to react, and he immediately rolled on the spot and dodged the knife.
