Chapter 115: The "Summoned Beast" in War

The second uncle then told me what happened next......

After leaving the tomb of the leader of Mocuo, these people returned to their residence, but when they took out the sealed bottle again to check the Huaxu holy water, as soon as the cap of the bottle was opened, a pungent smell immediately came out, and several people were choked and coughed. Everyone was a little puzzled, and the big one among them curiously followed Lao Gu's example, poured out a few drops of holy water from the bottle, and dripped them on a scratch on his finger.

At the moment when the holy water touched the wound, only to hear a "snort", the wound emitted a wisp of white smoke, and the big man fell to the ground with a scream, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the porcelain bottle containing the holy water fell to the ground and shattered, and the liquid inside flowed to the ground. A strange smell filled the room in an instant, and before the others could escape, they all fell to the ground.

Only Lao Gu was not in the house at the time, Lao Gu was very addicted to smoking, that was not enough for a box of cigarettes a day, these days into the mountain, the cigarettes on his body had already been smoked, choking enough, as soon as he arrived at the residence, he didn't care about anything else, he went to buy cigarettes first, and when he came back, as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a pungent smell, Lao Gu is experienced, the secret way is not good, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, but when he looked into the house again, the people in the house were lying on the ground, and their bodies all became shriveled and charred.

Lao Gu was stunned all of a sudden, but when he saw the broken porcelain vase on the ground, he instantly understood what was going on. He held his breath and rushed into the house quickly, opening all the doors and windows, so that the smell of the house could dissipate as soon as possible, so as not to hurt others again. And Lao Gu thought about it again and again, and felt that once this matter was exposed, he would definitely not be able to say clearly, so he made up his mind to flee to the mountains overnight.

It wasn't until later, by chance, that the second uncle met Lao Gu, at that time, Lao Gu was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer, maybe he smoked too much, maybe it had something to do with the Huaxu holy water, in short, when he was dying, Lao Gu told the second uncle about it.

In my mind, I unconsciously recalled the incident that my second uncle had told me. Kong Xue on the side saw that I was stunned, so she called me twice, and I woke up all of a sudden, pulling my thoughts back to the present again.

I can't help but wonder if something like Huaxu Holy Water can be found in the tomb of the tribal leader more than 2,000 years ago, so what kind of treasures or secrets will be hidden in this even more ancient tomb of the ancient king of Shanhuan under our feet at this time?

I looked at the two stone doors in front of me, and wondered what was behind them. My mood became a little excited, but at the same time there was uneasiness, especially after seeing the carving of the two-faced beetle on the door.

As much as I thought in my heart, whatever was behind these two stone doors, they were bound to be opened. At this point, there is no reason for us to stop because of the two stone gates.

We went up to check and found that the stone doors were only closed, and there were no stone seals or anything like anything around them. The three of us pushed one of the stone doors at the same time, and soon we heard a "crunch" sound, and we pushed open a gap of almost fifty centimeters.

For a moment, I felt a chill blow through the crack in the door. I shuddered.

Wen Mo raised his flashlight and looked inside the stone door, and found that it was a stone staircase spiraling downward, and there was nothing else. This gives us a little bit of peace of mind.

A few of us walked through the stone gate in turn and down the stone steps. The stone steps are not very long, but they are steep, so we walked very carefully.

At the end of the stone steps is a large burial chamber with four tall stone pillars standing in the middle. As soon as we walked in, we noticed that it smelled very strange, a weird fishy smell. It smells very uncomfortable.

Shi Tao took out a few simple activated carbon masks from his backpack, which originated from a major international brand, which is very lightweight, similar to a mask, and uses activated carbon and filter cotton. Although it is not as good as a professional gas mask, it is much better than a regular isolation mask.

Shi Tao handed one to each of us, "I didn't expect to come to this kind of place this time, so I only prepared this as a backup." ”

I turned on the mask and smiled, "Brother Tao, you can think so thoughtfully, it's not easy!" Something is better than nothing! "Saying that, each of us put it on, don't say that this simple mask is still quite effective, after wearing it, the unpleasant smell instantly alleviated a lot!

We looked around and saw that there was nothing strange about the layout, but the color of this tomb was a little incomprehensible to us, the whole interior of the tomb, all the walls, including the top of the tomb, were painted black, and on top of the black, some white irregular stripes were painted. The floor of the burial chamber was completely black.

Looking at the situation in the tomb, we feel inexplicable, from ancient times to the present, we have never heard of anyone making their tomb like this, which is completely inconsistent with the tomb system and the description of the burial scriptures. What is this, unconventional, personalized decoration? The ancient country in the desert of the Western Regions, its tomb form, really can't be viewed with the conventional thinking of our Central Plains.

Although the color of the burial chamber is indeed very strange, the pigment is not very lethal unless it is poisonous, but it seems that there is no problem with this at the moment. And I could feel a slight movement of air in it, which must have something to do with the whole mausoleum and the dark river. Therefore, even if the pigment is toxic, it will be difficult for the toxic gas to accumulate to an effective concentration due to the air circulation, so we will not worry too much about the danger in this regard.

As we looked around, we saw that there were many large clay pots standing on the edge of the tomb. When we saw these clay pots, it was simply breathtaking, these big clay pots are not ordinarily big.

Most of the clay pots we usually see in the burial chamber are only twenty or thirty centimeters high, and the larger ones are generally not more than fifty centimeters, but the large clay pots we see today are all one person high. I'm 1.8 meters tall, and I can't see the mouth of the clay pot with my feet padd.

We all looked at these huge clay pots in front of us in amazement, and roughly counted them, at least a dozen, Shi Tao looked at them and sighed: "Oh my God, what are these for?" ”

I was also very puzzled about these clay pots, "Could it be that the climate here was harsh and the food and vegetables were limited, so people used this to pickle pickles?" Pickle some pickles to survive the winter! Or a store of food? ”

Kong Xue looked at me and sighed helplessly, "I said that your brain is really choking, do you have pickles in the royal tomb?" If you want to get some pickles for dinner, you have to open the royal tomb. The leader who died inside lifted the lid of the coffin angrily, so it's strange! ”

I smiled wryly, "I'm just kidding!" I suddenly remembered Wenmo, "Hey, boss, what do you think of these ......" I didn't finish my words, and when I looked back, I didn't see any trace of Wenmo.

"Where did Wenmo go?" Every time Wenmo disappears inexplicably, it always makes me a little nervous.

Shi Tao gestured and pointed to the side, and I looked in the direction he was pointing, and found that Wen Mo was squatting next to a giant clay pot at this time, looking at something carefully.

We hurriedly walked over and saw that there were patterns painted on the surface of these huge clay pots. Just now we were just attracted by the huge size of these clay pots, and did not notice the pattern it indicated.

When we looked at it, we saw that the patterns were very special, and it seemed that the picture was depicting a war, but not between humans, but between humans and beetles. The beetles on the screen have white spots on their backs, which are obviously those human-faced beetles.

I only realized a problem now, from the time we came in to the present, we have seen a lot of mural patterns and carvings along the way, and it seems that the people of the ancient country of Shan Huan like to express the image, and they like to use patterns and forms to express everything.

However, this is also in line with historical facts, due to the relationship between geography and development, no matter what the economic and military strength of the countries in the Western Regions is, their culture is always a shortcoming, and the development of writing is not as perfect as that of the Central Plains. But fortunately, none of us knew the writing of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, and even if we found a written record, we could only stare dryly.

We noticed that the contents on each clay pot were not the same, and obviously the things recorded were also different, but the main characters were all the same, which was these face beetles. I've seen a lot of murals before, so this time I looked at it again, and with experience, I browsed it from beginning to end.

I won't repeat the specific content, it's nothing more than a war in which the beetles participated, but at first I thought it was a war between the ancient country of Shan Huan and these beetles, and then I realized that the beetles belonged to the side of the ancient country of Shan Huan, and they were helping the people of the country of Shan Huan to resist foreign enemies.

I nodded approvingly, this is amazing, using the "Summoned Beast" to hit the enemy. From ancient times to the present, there are many precedents for training animals to fight in war. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this animal army is generally very strong, and they can often win more with less, so throughout the ages, the figure of animals participating in wars around the world has never disappeared. Legend has it that the first to use fierce beasts to participate in the war was the Yellow Emperor, who once ordered people to catch bears, stalks, horses, tigers and other animals, trained for three months, and won a great victory over the invincible Chiyou army at that time.

In 600 B.C., Emperor Aberg of ancient India once sent 300 elephant soldiers to attack the fortress of Sitoan, and the 8,000 defenders in the fortress could not resist the impact of the elephant soldiers, so they immediately abandoned their armor and fled in a hurry.

And the leader of the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom actually used this kind of human-faced beetle to defend against the enemy, which is probably one of the reasons why they were able to dominate the countries of the Western Regions at that time.
