The scholar and I didn't find out what was going on, but we were suddenly startled by a loud noise, and the fourth master was also stunned. I thought to myself, it's broken! It must have been the fourth master or Lao Xu who triggered the mechanism. Then I saw that the stone walls on both sides began to move! In an instant, the corridor where the two of them could easily stand side by side had narrowed a lot, and now it was a little difficult for the two of them to stand side by side.

"Not good! Let's go, everyone! The scholar screamed, threw the biscuits into his bag, got up and turned and ran back.

The fourth master pushed me away, rushed over with an arrow step, grabbed the scholar's clothes, and pulled them back. As soon as the scholar turned around, he saw that it was the fourth master, and said angrily: "What are you doing!" What is the Lasa family doing? Don't run, you want to be squeezed into minced meat! ”

"If you don't want to be minced meat, it's better not to run around. If you want to die, I can't help it. After the fourth master finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, turned around and returned to the stone wall, and began to look around.

Lao Xu was still angry when he saw the scholar, and persuaded him: "Scholar, the fourth master is saving you." Have you forgotten how long we walked in this stone-walled corridor when we came? Don't say you run back, even if you ride a bicycle, you won't have time to run out of this corridor before the stone walls on both sides close. ”

The scholar thought about it, and it was also the same reason, he felt that he was really reckless just now, and he wanted to apologize and save face, so he didn't speak silently.

The fourth master looked at it for a while, raised his head and thought about something. The stone walls on both sides have closed a lot, and now the two of us can no longer stand side by side, and the four of us have to line up in a single column. The fourth master actually sat on the ground, took out water and biscuits from his bag, and ate them.

The scholar wanted to scold the street, but it was not easy to scold it, so he held it for a long time and said: "That's it, if the Sprinkle family dies today, it is also fate." Eat some together, it's good to be a full ghost, everyone has a companion on Huangquan Road. ”

Although I was also very scared, and even began to be anxious and panicked, the fourth master's expression of concern made me feel a lot more at ease. There is no one who is not afraid of death, especially when it comes slowly, predictably. Since the fourth master is not afraid, there must be a reason for him. Sure enough, when the stone walls on both sides could only accommodate one person, the fourth master suddenly stood up and shouted: "Look at my movements, just like me, climb up!" ”

I saw the fourth master taking the lead, using both hands and feet together, supporting the stone walls on both sides, and starting to climb up. The three of us hurriedly put on our backpacks, followed the example of the fourth master, and hurriedly climbed up. It was pitch black above, and the fourth master held a flashlight in his mouth, barely a little bright, so that we could see the situation above.

Although the stone wall looks smooth, there are still concave and convex places, and the stone walls on both sides are getting narrower and narrower, which makes it easier for us to climb. After climbing a short distance, I found that the stone wall actually had a window-like hole in the high place. The four of us crawled over the hole. The passage of the façade begins to be low, allowing only people to crawl forward. After a short walk, it suddenly dawned on a stone staircase that could be lowered from the passage. We climbed with a roll, and after walking down the stone stairs, we heard a bang behind us, and Lao Xu said that the stone wall behind us was closed.

Fortunately, the fourth master found a way to escape, otherwise the four of us would have been made into photos and glued to the stone wall. I asked the fourth master how he found out about the mechanism of the stone wall and how he knew the escape route. The fourth master said that there is a small place in the center of the stone wall, and there is obviously a concave and convex feeling to the touch, and there must be something inlaid with it. With all his might, he actually pulled out a small stone in the middle. Then the stone wall began to close, and the fourth master didn't know how to escape, but he found that there was an arrow-like pattern behind the stone that was cut out, pointing upward.

The fourth master guessed that this was a mechanism that was put to death and then born. When the stone wall is found to be closed, if people are desperate, they will either die here, or they will return the same way, and it will be difficult to escape from the danger of coming again; And if this stone wall mechanism is discovered, and the stone walls on both sides are closed, some people will panic like scholars, run around, and eventually inevitably die. Only when the stone wall is discovered, which plunges people into despair, and when the mechanism is touched and puts people in a desperate situation, will the way of escape be shown, and then the unhurried person can find a way to survive and get out of danger. Therefore, the design of this mechanism is really mysterious, and it will be born after death.

Having crossed this danger, everyone was in a state of apprehension. But I was soon shocked by what I saw. The light shone through, and there were four pillars surrounded by one person standing in front of them, and on the inside of the pillars were two rows of stone carvings, all of which were carved with birds of prey and fierce beasts. In the middle of the two rows of stone carvings is a stone-paved road.

"Damn, this is a cemetery! Looking at the posture, the tomb owner should be a fan. Haha, I'm going to make a fortune this time! The scholar came all the way, muttering that he didn't know how many times he had to make a fortune, and now he saw that it was really an ancient tomb, and he couldn't help but forget the hardships of this road.

"Well, there are many ancient tombs in Feng Shui treasures, and this should be the Ming Hall of the ancient tombs. I just don't know who the owner of this ancient tomb is. Lao Xu is also very excited, but his excitement is mostly from the academic field.

"Where's the coffin?" I looked around, but I didn't see the coffin at all.

"Haha, the place we are in now should be the Ming Palace, and we can't see the coffin yet. The ancient aristocratic cemeteries were generally divided into three departments: first, the Ming Palace, which was built in imitation of the residence of the tomb owner during his lifetime; Then there is the dormitory, which houses the coffin; Finally, there is a side hall, which is used to store funerary items. Lao Xu said.

"Since this has arrived in the Ming Palace, there should be an ever-bright lamp, right? Why is it still so dark? I said that the tomb owner was too stingy and was always reluctant to light the lamp. Although the scholar's words were a joke, they also caught our attention.

It stands to reason that when we first entered the stone cave, we saw the ever-bright lantern, and now when we arrive at the Ming Palace, how can the tomb owner not set up lamps. Is it still up to the mechanism to ignite the lantern? The four of us cautiously probed around. This touch, that touch, just doesn't have any reaction. The scholar walked around the pillar several times, but found nothing, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it. At this moment, the fourth master suddenly rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the scholar, and knocked off the lighter that the scholar was about to hold up, "Uncle Cao, I almost hit the scheme!" ”

I have always thought that the fourth master is an introverted and Confucian Taoist person, but this time I heard him scolding the street, and I couldn't associate the fourth master with his image in my heart. However, this also fully illustrates the urgency of the matter, although the scholar's temper is also very stubborn, but this time he obviously realized that something was wrong.

The fourth master let out a sigh of relief and said, "We almost suffered a plot. I just looked around and the problem came up with the statues. Originally, in the tombs of the Warring States and Pre-Qin periods, it was normal for some statues to appear in the front hall to be used as tomb beasts, so I was careless. Just now the scholar said that there should be an everlasting lamp here, and I think it should be so. However, while looking for the trigger mechanism, I noticed that there was something wrong with the statues. If you look closely at the statue's eyes, there are a lot of little black dots. If I'm guessing correctly, the little black dot isn't painted, it's a living thing. ”

"Ahh Fourth master, are you talking about black bees? Lao Xu also had a shocked expression.

The fourth master nodded appreciatively to Lao Xu and said, "Yes, it's exactly this thing." ”

The scholar and I were so confused that we didn't know what they were talking about. Lao Xu explained that this black bee fly is terrible. This poisonous insect is almost never seen, and it only exists in ancient books. The black bee fly is small, horse-like and dark, but it is very poisonous. It is rumored that the black bee fly can enter a dormant state under certain conditions, and die without eating, drinking, or sleeping, but when it encounters a fire source, it will immediately wake up and frantically attack all creatures that can be seen around it. In view of the characteristics of the black bee fly, some nobles in ancient times spent a lot of money to induce the black bee fly into a dormant state and seal it in the tomb to prevent tomb robbers. In ancient times, tomb robbers could only use open flames for lighting, and when they encountered this kind of mechanism, they would inevitably activate the black bees, and as a result, nine out of ten people died.

When we listened, our faces turned green, if the fourth master didn't find that the tomb beast had a black bee fly sealed in its eyes just now, or if the fourth master stopped the scholar one step later, then once the scholar lighter was lit, it was likely to activate these sleeping poisonous insects, and the consequences would be unimaginable. was almost killed by a scholar again. Since this man went down the cave, he has been in trouble along the way. The scholar also looked embarrassed and apologized again and again. Everyone was very sincere when they saw the book, and they really didn't know what was at stake, so they shifted their anger to the tomb owner. "Damn, such a bad guy, if you don't take him a baby, I'm sorry for our heart." The scholar also pushed the boat along the water, and used his strength to transfer his problems cleanly.

Let's go over and carefully check the eyes of the statue, sure enough, there are several small black spots in the eyes of each tomb beast statue. However, I became more and more curious, if this is really an ancient tomb, then who is buried? Can you design so many clever and vicious mechanisms to protect the tombs, are there really a lot of treasures? It seems that the only way to get to the bottom of these questions is to enter the dormitory.

We didn't dare to be careless, and walked slowly along the stone road. The disadvantages of the flashlight are once again revealed, although the range is okay, but the divergence ability is too poor, and the four flashlights are fully turned on, and the front cannot be fully seen. And the tomb beasts on both sides are weird and very creepy, and I always use a flashlight to sweep the sides intentionally or unintentionally. Fortunately, modern technology has solved the danger caused by open flame lighting in ancient times, and the cold light did not activate the black bee bee, and we have successfully reached the end of the road.
