I looked at the scratches on the wall again, these traces from top to bottom are very shallow, but dense, obviously not a day or two can be formed, and everything under our feet has not changed, coffins, bones, debris, the only thing that has changed, only the surrounding walls, so to think about it another way, this is indeed an active tomb, but this tomb is not the same as the mechanism of the submarine tomb, the mechanism of the submarine tomb is that the entire tomb is moving, but this tomb, the surrounding walls have not changed, What changes is under our feet.

In this process, the air will be squeezed into the tomb by moving, and everything on the ground in the tomb will not change, what really changes is the surrounding tomb wall!

In order to complete this kind of mechanism, it is necessary to dig a grave shaft straight up and down, which means that we are likely to be empty above and below! We have completely changed our location and are most likely in a suspended graveyard.

Zhao Wang obviously thought of something with me, his eyes were uncontrollable excited, he pointed to our feet, and said excitedly: "Evil brother, this is probably empty." I slapped him directly on the head and scolded with a smile: "There is a lot of, hurry up, chisel it." ”

We figured this out and immediately got to work, planning a few ground drills against the wall and starting to chisel along the cracks in the bricks. In the end, I simply used the ancient sword as a chisel, and Zhao Wang alternately chiseled, a large number of debris splashed up, and soon, we chiseled out a hole the size of a basketball.

This hole is relatively deep, and half of the sword body is missing, but the hole is still not opened. Zhao Wang was a little unconfident, and hesitated: "Evil brother, will we think wrong." ”

I said: "Until the last moment, you must not give up, a suspicious personality like yours before you see the result will kill you sooner or later." ”

Zhao Wang's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to exert force, and as he chiseled down, the hole suddenly opened, revealing a black hole the size of a thumb, and a small cool breeze blew up along the hole.

I was overjoyed, knowing that I had guessed correctly this time, so I quickly beckoned Zhao Wang to expand the hole, and we worked for more than half an hour before we barely smashed out a hole that could accommodate a person to drill through, and then, I lit the remaining half of the candle, leaned on my stomach, and poked my head down.

As the candlelight spreads, the structure under the tomb gradually appears, similar to what I guessed, there is a hole straight up and down, the hole is relatively deep, and the bottom cannot be seen for the time being, but on the stone wall around it, there is a thick wooden stick that is obviously artificially inserted, which is about the place where the workers stepped on when this mobile secret room was built.

The hole below is round, the stone wall is uneven, and the thick wooden sticks that come out of the head are only about twenty centimeters, and I estimate that if one steps on them, it will be enough to hang.

When this place was first built, there should have been insurance measures, such as hooking a rope to the sticks to prevent them from stepping into the air, but due to the age, it is not known whether the thick sticks can still withstand the force.

I gestured to Zhao Wang, signaling him to hand me the ancient sword, and then, I lay on my stomach and waved the ancient sword to cut the nearest wooden stick, and then, only to hear a muffled bang, the sword was embedded in the wooden stick, but the wooden stick was not broken, it seems that there is no ** inside, as long as we are careful, we should be able to go down to the bottom safely.

Regardless of how the ancients built this kind of movable burial chamber, according to modern architecture, when the final capping, that is, when the floor under our feet is closed, the people who built the burial chamber below will definitely be trapped to death, so if they want to get out, they will definitely make a passage at the bottom of the burial well.

I explained the situation to Zhao Wang, and then said: "If there is really a passage below, then it is very likely to lead to other tombs, according to the content of the mural just now, I think it is most likely to lead to the second palace, but ...... In ancient times, there were many grave builders, and the people who built this tomb may have been trapped and died underneath. How's that going...... We'll have to go down to find out. ”

Zhao Wang looked at the dark hole under his feet, shrunk his neck and said, "Evil brother, do you mean that there may be more dead people below?" I was so angry with this kid that I didn't say angrily: "You have opened several coffins, and you are still afraid of the dead?" Alright, pack up, let's go down. ”

Next, we packed up the few inverted bucket equipment, and I took the lead and drilled down the hole first.

The hole was open in the corner of the wall, so that we could reach the sticks as soon as we went down, and since we only had half a candle, and it was difficult to get the candles free in the way down the graveyard, we put out the light source and began to climb down.

These sticks are relatively dense, so as long as we move slowly, we basically won't step on the air.

Although Zhao Wang is timid, but he grew up in the mountains, his hands and feet are quite neat, the two of us climbed down without saying a word, in the cave below, from time to time the wind will be poured up, as soon as I feel the wind, my heart is fixed, as long as there is wind, it means that there must be a passage below.

I hurriedly greeted Zhao Wang: "Hurry up, it's almost there." ”、

After I finished speaking, no one answered me for a long time, I looked up, it was dark in front of me, and I didn't know where Zhao Wang was above my head, I felt that something was wrong, and quickly called again, at this time, Zhao Wang's voice sounded at my feet: "Evil brother, I'll go down." ”

"Hey, you kid, you're fast."

Zhao Wang smiled and said, "When I was a child, I often climbed rocks to collect medicine and practiced it. "We continued to climb down, and after a short time I felt that something was wrong, and the grave was so deep that I wondered if I would go to hell if I continued to climb like this.

At this moment, Zhao Wang suddenly said, "Evil brother, did you hear any sound?" ”

Sound?

I listened intently for a long time, and suddenly I noticed that there was a whispering sound in the wind, as if a little ghost was talking. Due to the wind pouring up from time to time, the wind echoed in the cave, forming a lot of noise, so I didn't hear it at first, but I didn't expect Zhao Wang's ears to be very smart, I felt something was wrong when I heard this human-like voice, and hurriedly said: "Can you free your hands?" Quickly light the candles. ”

Zhao Wang sighed and then, I heard a sound of soos under my feet, and after a while, a little orange halo lit up. I looked down and saw that Zhao Wang was not far from my feet, about two wooden sticks away, and at this moment, he was stepping on one wooden stick with both feet, holding another protruding wooden stick with one hand, and looking up at me with a candle in the other hand.

At this moment, we have gone down very deeply, and when we raise our heads, we can no longer see the burial chamber above our heads, and we still can't see the bottom when we lower our heads, and we feel like we are hanging in the air.

At this time, due to the wind pouring up from time to time, the flame of the candle was extremely unstable beating, through the shaking candlelight, I suddenly saw the surrounding environment clearly, for a while I only felt that my scalp was numb, I don't know when, the mountain wall around us was inlaid with human heads!

These heads, facing down, only reveal a Heavenly Spirit Cover, and in the place where they have a Heavenly Spirit Cover, there is also a circular hole, which is pitch black inside, and I don't know what there is.

As soon as I saw these inlaid human heads, I immediately thought of human animals, but during the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the princes and nobles would let their wives and concubines accompany the burial, such large-scale human and animal burials were rare, how could there be so many human heads here?

Immediately after, when I saw the round holes on the top of those skulls, my scalp immediately went numb, and I subconsciously remembered the human head Gu in Tarim, and some bad memories suddenly came flooding back.

At this time, Zhao Wang saw the surrounding scene clearly, his face turned pale, looked up at my expression, almost cried, and stammered: "Evil, evil brother, these are ...... What is it? ”

I said, "What do you say?" ”

Zhao Wang flattened his mouth and said with a sad face: "It seems to be a human head, that kind of voice...... Will it be ......?"

I secretly scolded my mother and said, "Tell you a secret to practicing courage, that is, what you don't see is treated as if it never happened, this is passed down by my grandfather, you climb down with your eyes closed." ”

Zhao Wang nodded tremblingly, and then began to climb down with his eyes closed, the candle in his hand was also blown out, and the two of us climbed down with our breath, the whispering voice like a little ghost became clearer and clearer, and I even had a feeling that these heads in front of me were raising their heads and talking in my ear.

It's not that I haven't seen a human head, if there is no sound at all now, over there, it is dark in front of me, but I don't see it, but on the contrary, this grave is not quiet, but there is a strange ghost-like sound, not to mention Zhao Wang, even my palms are sweating.

At that moment, I suddenly stepped on something under my feet, and by feeling, it was not a stick, it was round, but a little like a human head.

I chuckled in my heart, and retracted my foot violently, at this moment, Zhao Wang below suddenly screamed, as if he saw something extremely terrifying, and then, my foot and neck were violently pulled by a human hand, as if a ghost grabbed his foot, and the whole person instantly slipped and began to fall down.

"Ah——!h I couldn't help screaming, and I hurriedly fluttered, hoping to catch something, but I fell very fast, not only did I not catch anything, but from time to time I bumped into the stick, and every time I knocked, it was like someone had beaten a stick, and it hurt to the inside organs.

I don't know what it was that grabbed my foot, but I felt that it was a human hand, and then I heard a 'plop' sound, and the thing that grabbed my leg suddenly disappeared, and then I was buried in a cloud of cold liquid.

It's water!

The cold temperature made me wake up, because I was not prepared, I choked on a mouthful of water, and then, I struggled to swim in the dark water, fortunately, I did not fall deeply, and soon came out of my head, a large amount of air rushed over, out of human instinct, I almost didn't think about anything, and immediately began to inhale heavily, but I didn't take two breaths, my whole person was carried down by the water, and then, the head slammed into something, the whole person was instantly stunned, the body stiffened, and fell into the water.

The water was very cold and turbulent, and I was thrashing in it, but soon I found that I could not use my hands and feet at all, and as soon as I moved my hands, I felt the cold mountain wall on both sides, and my head rose up, and I immediately hit the top.

Instantly, an image appeared in my mind...... Damn, I'm not going to go into a water hole, am I?
