Chapter 562: Missing a Door
And I also found out that most of the people who died were recruits.
Shen Sancheng's men may have seen a lot, they are not easy to panic, and the casualty ratio is very small.
I also found Yang Chenfei and Wei Yuanqing in the pile, these two guys were scared like dirt, and it is estimated that their intestines are now repentant. However, I have to run to this kind of tomb to improve my status.
Even they unconsciously leaned towards us, apparently seeking refuge.
After a slight adjustment, the team set off again.
People here are accustomed to seeing life and death, life and death have fate, and that's it, and it won't collapse.
When I passed by the face shield, I took a look, and my scalp couldn't help tingling, especially the first side, which was completely scarred and burned, and the heavy arrows on the ground were covered with a dense layer.
"I've seen this material, it's a very strong tungsten gold material, specially used to make the bullet surface armor of tanks, but I didn't expect it to be shot like this." The leather-clad man's face changed slightly.
"If only it were thicker." Gua Ge commented.
I nodded, people are not as good as heaven, and now they are irretrievable.
The essence of tomb robbing is to steal things, steal the things of the dead, and since you are ready to steal, you have to pay the price of uncertainty.
The team continued to set off, and then encountered several powerful tricks, including fire attacks, flooding, and corrosive poisonous smoke, and four unlucky people died in the front and back.
It seems that the heavy arrow array has raised Shen Sancheng's expectations, he has become more cautious, and the tricks have been cracked one by one.
Soon, the tomb road finally changed again, and the front was divided into five, and five forks appeared.
The forks are engraved on them with a script similar to an oracle bone inscription.
"The Gate of Life and Death!" Brother Gua stared at the five forks in the road with sparkling eyes and exclaimed.
"The specifications are very high, five doors of life and death." The leather-clad guest was also surprised.
"Goo-goo!" Even the colorful eagle, which was silent all the way, called a few times, and a pair of eagle eyes stared at the five gates, as if they were recognizing something.
"What's that saying?" I didn't quite understand it, so I asked.
"The door of life and death, as the name suggests, is a life and death, often the last level in front of the main tomb area, and it is also the most dangerous level, as long as it passes, even if you can't open the main coffin, you can get a certain amount of yin wealth, this is the rule, and it can be seen that the planner of this tomb is very disciplined." Guagodao.
"Do you have to follow the rules when building a tomb?"
I can't understand it, isn't the heart saying that building a tomb is just to block all foreign prying eyes, do everything you can, and what rules do you still observe?
"Of course."
Gua Ge said as a matter of course: "It's still the old saying, called perfect and perfect, which means that everything is left a line, and you can't do too much, if the tomb robber has the ability, then it is natural to take away a part of the yin wealth, if the other party has the ability to go against the sky and pry the main coffin in the tomb, it is the luck of the tomb owner, and the will of heaven is so, and it is unbearable." ”
The leather-clothed man also smiled and said to me: "Didn't you find out, all the mechanisms on the road have a way to crack, this is called leaving a line, this is the home of the tomb builder, the tomb robber passes the test according to the rules he set, if the builder will attack the previous fire, water array, and poisonous smoke without limitation, so that the entire tomb road is covered with water, fire, and poisonous smoke, think about it, how long can we hold on?" ”
I was speechless for a while, as if this was the case, the typical is the corrosive poisonous smoke array, if it is released unlimitedly, we have no place to escape, and in the end we can only be corroded by the poisonous smoke into a white skeleton.
And compared to the size of such a large tomb, there is no shortage of materials at all, and it can even be said that it is easy, but the tomb designers did not do this. Left a line, as long as the method is appropriate, you can pass the test.
"In fact, in a sense, it is the designer of the tomb who crosses time and space and Shen San, the other party is very well-behaved, if you want to come in, I will let you in, the warning stele at the door is the first salute and then the soldiers, if you want to continue, you can, come one pass at a time, if you have the life and ability to come here, I also believe that the door of life and death is the last pass to the main tomb." Guagoe explained.
I was speechless for a while, and then I realized that there is such a delicate and tacit understanding between the tomb robber and the tomb keeper, which can even be called a feeling.
It's like playing a game, there must be a way to clear the customs, but it's just nine deaths, or it's called perfect, whether you have luck and ability to pass the level depends on you, the chess game has been placed, it depends on how you crack it.
"What if the tomb builders don't follow the rules and don't pay attention to perfection?" I asked again.
"This is called going against the peace of heaven, and God will not agree to it." Brother Gua smiled and said, "Even if the tomb is built, God will use the heavenly thunder to split the tomb!" This is not an ethereal legend, but a rule that all tomb builders have followed since ancient times: leave a line in everything. ”
The fat man also interjected: "Feng Shui tomb is actually an act of stealing the luck of heaven and earth, God opens one eye and closes one eye to let the tomb owner steal a thousand handfuls of two thousand years of luck is enough to tolerate, don't think about it for eternity, if you do too much, you will be whipped by God's heavenly thunder." ”
My eyes were opened, I never expected that this tomb still has so much knowledge and exquisiteness. I suddenly remembered that the easternmost part of the mountain seemed to have been thundered when I came in before.
"To give a very simple example, Qin Shi Huang's ancestral dragon tomb can definitely be said to be one of the best tombs in the world, but it is also perfect and lacking a door, do you know which one is missing?" Brother Gua asked me with a smile.
I thought about it for a moment, shook my head, and said I don't know, I've never thought about this kind of thing.
"The one it lacks is called 'secret' in tomb science, and the popular point is that all tomb robbers know that the tomb of the ancestral dragon is there, this is a shortcoming, if it can be hidden, it will be perfect." The leatherman explained.
I know that this is true, the safest tomb is not how many powerful mechanisms there are, not how powerful the circle is, but how hidden it is not known at all.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is known to the whole world, and tomb robbers have been staring at it for 2,000 years, which is a kind of shortcoming.
I was shocked in my heart, as strong as Qin Shi Huang, an ancestral dragon who has passed through the heavens and latitudes and dominated the four seas, has to follow the rules of perfection and nine perfections, let alone others.
This is more of a kind of courage, the world knows that I am here, do you dare to come?
It turns out that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the most successful imperial mausoleum today, and it has not been excavated to this day, although the tomb robbers of all dynasties in the world know that it is there.
Even the tombs of the pharaohs in Egypt have been dug up, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang remains.
The water in here is very deep.
"Look, Shen Sancheng has done it." The fat man pulled my thoughts back to the eyes.
I hurriedly looked over and found that Shen Sancheng had already done it himself and lit a candle in the center of the five gates.
The candle flame drifted to one side with the flow of air, and it looked like it was going to go out at any time, but it couldn't.
Three doors are biased to the inside and two to the outside.
"Wind, shock, injury, life, death, five doors, three in and two out, meaning three long and two short, big murder." Brother Gua frowned and said.
"One in five probability, what happens if you choose the wrong one?" Even though I knew the outcome, I couldn't help but say more, the situation felt like gambling.
"Unless you are an existence that can run rampant in the two worlds of yin and yang, there is no life, and you must choose, and going back is a dead end." Leather-clad polite.
My scalp is numb.
After Shen Sancheng lit the candles, he ordered everyone to take thirty steps back, leaving him alone in front of the five gates, carrying us on his back, chanting broken words in his mouth.
The candle at the door began to flicker erratically, long and short, flickering and dimming, as if it was about to be extinguished at any moment.
Everyone's hearts can't help but lift up, and the time has come to decide their fate. If Shen Sancheng makes a mistake, everyone will be doomed.
Gradually, the voice in Shen Sancheng's mouth became louder, the syllables were very short, very strange, it didn't feel like the vocal cords came out, a bit similar to Sanskrit, and some of the unique guttural sounds of Mongolian nomads, ethereal and low.
It doesn't feel too harsh to the ears of a person, but the surrounding walls are shaken off with wisps of dust.
"This is the thirty-six words of robbing the family, and it is one of the most profound methods of tomb robbing, and there are no more than three people in the world who have mastered it." Guagodao.
I nodded, and it looked like a resonance of sound waves, using the energy of the chest cavity to emit a sound wave that resonated with the surrounding environment to achieve the purpose of detection.
Somewhat similar to the ultrasonic detection of bats.
Of course, this is only a popular understanding, the truth is certainly not that simple, if that is the case, bring a sonar detector to solve any problem.
Shen Sancheng's sound wave became louder and louder, and the surrounding walls began to tremble slightly, and strange things happened, only to see that the candle in front of the five doors suddenly went out without warning, and it was a living door.
It was as if something had blown it out, because there was something smaller than it that had not been extinguished.
Immediately after that, the candle that frightened the door was also extinguished, and then the door was born.
In the end, only the door of shock and the door of death remained.
"Extinguish! Extinguish! Gua Ge stared at the candles of the two doors, silently reading.
I also nervous in my heart, the door that extinguishes the candle must be the door of death, and the door of five extinguishes four, and the remaining one must be the door of life.
If there are two left, you have to make a difficult choice, half of life, half of death.
But the next scene made everyone stunned.
I saw that the two candles of the door of shock and the door of death were all extinguished at once!
"Damn!"
Brother Gua, who had been silently reciting, couldn't help but snort.
"How so?" The leather-clad customer couldn't help but change color.
Not only us, but everyone's faces changed drastically, even the hook-nosed, the man in the suit, and the curly-haired man all looked at each other.
Everyone whispered even more, and for a while the uneasy atmosphere was spreading, obviously, something was wrong, and it shouldn't be all extinguished.
My heart jumped to my throat, and all five doors were destroyed, doesn't that mean that all five doors are dead doors? Although he couldn't see Shen Sancheng's front, he could see from his side face that his brows had been deeply wrinkled.
"Brother Gua, what should I do?" The fat man swallowed his spit and asked, life and death and the most critical time This kind of thing happened, and everyone's hearts were furious.
One mistake is a catastrophe!
Brother Gua shook his head and said: "There are too many things to pay attention to, and I don't know, I can only look at Shen Sancheng's choice now, and the real test has arrived." ”
"Don't worry, Shen Sancheng is famous in the tomb robbery world, and he must be more than that." The leather-clad man said comfortingly.
Gua Ge also nodded in agreement.
"Quiet!"
Hearing the noise of the crowd, Hooknose turned around and shouted at the crowd in a low voice.
The crowd was suddenly silent, and no one dared to speak again, quietly waiting for Shen Sancheng's decision.
Shen Sancheng stood there motionless for a long time, he slowly turned around and looked at us, to be precise, at the door that came in behind us.
Everyone followed his gaze.
I also turned around, and there was a black hole in the tomb behind me, and I couldn't help but feel my heart jumping, could it be that the door that came in was the door of life? I have seen this phenomenon in the Great Demon City, the corridor inside is very unique, walk over and walk back, the place changes.
That's because of the circle, but before the main cemetery is reached, is the circle already activated?
I can't figure it out.
Then, Shen Sancheng slowly moved his steps and came to the entrance of the tomb where he entered, looking inside in a daze.
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
One wrong step, everything is over.
