Chapter 201: Tomb Return
The sky was like ink, and dark clouds covered the moon.
The surrounding environment was gloomy, and he had just escaped from the tomb, Qin Lang panted all the way, while holding on to the wall, he followed the familiar route to the temporary residence of the group in the local area. As soon as he opened the door, Qin Lang immediately felt the strangeness in the room.
Cautiously retreated to the door, but the four people who were originally left inside were gone.
"Zixuan?" Qin Lang called out tentatively, but no one answered.
Qin Lang and his entourage came here for a tomb of the Western Han Dynasty. However, it is not the tomb of an emperor and a general, but the tomb of Cui Lie, a wealthy businessman who died twenty-three years ago, who is famous for buying the position of "Situ". Cui Lie was a famous scholar in Jizhou during the period of Emperor Ling, and he was a famous tycoon, who was famous all over the world for buying Situ's position and was criticized by Shilin.
But even so, it can't hide the fact that it is rich in the world and famous. It is precisely because of this that Cui Lie's grave was mostly patronized after his death. This kind of tomb, although there are countless treasures, but in the end, it only has treasures, and there are no other special treasures, so for Qin Lang and others, it is just an ordinary small tomb.
But it was such a small tomb, and Qin Lang and the others didn't pay attention to it. The five brothers, plus Ah Wu, and the six of them, didn't care. So it was enough to just let Qin Lang and He Yan go in, and the others were waiting in the house.
Who knew that when I entered the tomb, I found that it was full of dangers, and it was by no means an ordinary tomb. But think about it, if you can buy a child of a scholar clan with such an official position, how can his tomb be so simple.
So the two of them stepped into this seemingly inconspicuous tomb, and with the disdain for it in their hearts, the two of them were careless for a while.
Torches illuminate the narrow passages of the tomb, whose walls are carved with the most popular motifs of the time, as well as some totems.
The pattern is illuminated by the firelight, which looks bewitching and unusual.
"Do you think it's strange there?" Qin Lang frowned, and from time to time he brought the torch close to the wall in order to observe the pattern on it.
"What's so strange, don't scare yourself!" He Yan didn't care about Qin Lang's words.
Although He Yan said so, he also felt hairy in his heart. At the same time, there is also a little more caution.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air came from the side, and Qin Lang and the two of them dodged fluently.
Seeing the arrows that shot deep into the wall, Qin Lang took a deep breath: "It seems that this Cui Lie also found someone to repair the mechanism for his tomb. ”
"Of course, a wealthy businessman will definitely be concerned about what is going on after his death. What's more, his funeral goods may not be less. He Yan said casually.
The torch swept over the place where the arrow had been inserted, and the wall of that area was covered with a humanoid pattern, and the arrow was stuck right in the heart of the humanoid.
There is only one arrow, and it is aimed at the "person" on the wall. It seems that Cui Lie is giving a warning to those who come in.
Without looking at the case, Qin Lang and the two of them continued to walk forward.
Deeper, the pattern of the walls disappeared, replaced by stone lions with bloody mouths.
"Look!"
He Yan, who had been following behind him, suddenly stopped Qin Lang and pointed to the stone lions on both sides: "These lions don't have eyes. ”
Qin Lang put the torch in front of the stone lion closest to him, and sure enough, this stone lion also had no eyes.
I looked at several stone lions in a row, but they didn't have eyes. If a stone lion has no eyes, it may be that the craftsmen at that time carelessly ignored it, but if there is none, then I am afraid it is the meaning of the tomb owner.
"A stone lion without eyes, what does this mean?" Qin Lang muttered as he looked at the statues.
"This tomb is really strange, be careful. He Yan glanced at the white bones next to the stone lion and said.
Almost every stone lion has a white skeleton next to it, and at first glance it looks like it has been eaten by these stone lions, leaving only a pile of white bones.
Qin Lang touched his smooth chin and thought about these bones.
"Do you remember what Master Zun once said? In order to prevent their tombs from being stolen by future generations, a wealthy family would find craftsmen who had specially set up mechanisms at that time to design mechanisms in the cemetery. But this is not the most reassuring thing, although the cemetery has strong protection facilities, but those craftsmen know every mechanism here. For the absolute safety of the cemetery, these craftsmen are usually sealed in the cemetery. Qin Lang said.
He Yan looked at the pile of white bones in front of him, and frowned: "You mean, these white bones are all made of the mechanism in this tomb?"
Qin Lang nodded: "Be careful next, there must be a mechanism in this tomb." ”
Continue along the stone lions on both sides, and at the end there is a stone door. Qin Lang and He Yan glanced at each other, and could only choose to push open the stone door in front of them vigorously.
The stone door, which had not been moved for decades, slowly opened to both sides with the cooperation of the two people, and the friction with the ground produced an uncomfortable sound.
When the mechanism in the tomb was activated, the two of them were not in a hurry, He Yan pushed Qin Lang at the end, but he was trapped in the tomb.
"Get out of here, the two of us can't solve it. Go find Ah Wu and them!" He Yan shouted to Qin Lang.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Qin Lang scolded in his heart that he shouldn't be careless, and hammered the ground helplessly.
"Wait for me to come back!" Qin Lang looked firmly at his brother, who had been born and died many times together.
The mechanism in the tomb activated, and the way in became difficult. Finally came out of the tomb, Qin Lang ran over to the house where several people lived temporarily.
Stopping to remember, a candlelight lit up from the corner of the room. A corner of the room was illuminated, and Qin Lang could see the scene in the room clearly!
I saw that the four people who stayed here, Zixuan and Ah Wu, were hanging on the roof, gagged by something, and there were two more people in black in the room.
These two people are men in black, Qin Lang is no stranger. It can even be said that it is an "old friend". But meeting them at this time is not a good thing.
"It's them again. Qin Lang glanced blankly in his heart. Although Qin Lang wanted to deal with the two people in front of him and rescue the brothers. But Qin Lang also saw that the situation was not right, so he was ready to leave first, and first told Xuchang's master to think about it in the long run.
Qin Lang stood in place, seeing that the other party didn't speak, and didn't make any movements, he also stood at the door silently, secretly calculating what to do in his heart.
He Yan was still in the tomb and didn't know what the situation was, and the four of Zixuan were trapped by their opponents. The current situation can be described as a dilemma for Qin Lang.
Thinking that they have what the other party wants, they may not hurt Zixuan and them. And He Yan should be able to drag on for a few hours.
Thinking like this, Qin Lang immediately decided to go to Shizun first.
made up his mind, as soon as Qin Lang turned around, there was a "woo" sound behind him, a familiar voice, Qin Lang knew that it was from Zixuan as soon as he heard it.
Not daring to move any more, Qin Lang's body became stiff. The hands at his side gradually clenched into fists. It seems that these turtle grandsons should have done something. At this time, Qin Lang knew that it seemed that he couldn't leave. The other party asked Zixuan and them to speak out, they should have threatened themselves, if they dared to act rashly, they would dare to do anything wrong. It must have been some despicable means used by the other party to make Zixuan raise her voice to warn herself. He Yan has already been left alone in the cemetery, he must not leave Zixuan and them alone anymore!
