Volume 6 Chapter 9 Can the jaguar restrain zongzi
I shook around, and I thought it really couldn't be done, there must be something strange about two living people disappearing like this, maybe there was a mechanism somewhere on the ground. I took a shark gun and poked it here and there on the ground, and sure enough, I found that the soil was so loose that I dug a few times to reveal a masonry door.
I feel strange in my heart, judging from the shells that were fished up before, this tomb should be a Han tomb, and the Han tomb is rarely capped with bricks and stones, because there is a masonry cap basically means that there is a dungeon below. What kind of prince had the financial resources to build an underground palace, or was it a mausoleum where a large family was buried?
Due to the long-term immersion in the seawater, the masonry had become soft, and I kicked all the bricks off with a few kicks and jumped in immediately.
The water rushed in, and as soon as I jumped in, the water behind me pressed up, and I fell into the passage before I could find anything to plug the entrance.
It was so bad that the shark gun in my hand fell off when I was cornering, and the waterproof bag almost fell. I slid all the way down the passage, but fortunately the passage was made of masonry, and because it was well sealed, it was quite solid enough to withstand the impact of the sea. The passage was not straight, and after I slid down for more than ten seconds, I suddenly hit the wall, and I quickly looked up to see that there were stone steps next to it!
I climbed the stone steps with my hands and feet, and when I looked back, I could only hear the sound of the water rushing to both sides, but the water level began to drop, and the sound of the water was also decreasing, as if the water pouring in from the entrance was blocked by something. It seemed that there was a good drainage system in place, and I watched as the water level dropped until the whole channel was completely devoid of water, revealing a stone wall with nothing on it. I was a little disappointed, I thought I would see some mural or something. But if you think about it, there is a drainage system and an automatic mechanism to block the water, which means that the designers have foreseen a lot of water pouring in, so it would be foolish to carve something more.
My heart suddenly moved, there is no seawater here, can I breathe?
I tried to open the mask and took a breath of air, ahem, the air smelled bad, but it wasn't poisonous. So I took off my entire wetsuit, stuffed my mask and breathing equipment into a waterproof bag, and put the rest on the stone steps. It is obviously unwise to enter an unknown tomb and wear an extremely bulky wetsuit.
I pinned a dagger to the waistband of my trousers, pressed biscuits and a small bottle of water into my pocket, and went up the stairs with a compound bow in one hand and an arrow and a flashlight in the other.
The steps are narrow and low, the surface is rough but flat, and there is not a trace of dust. I thought to myself, not to mention modern people, even the shorter ancients were inconvenient to walk, and this stone step must not have been built for man—or rather it was not used for walking. Also, when the burial chamber was built, it was not thought that someone would come back.
After walking dozens of steps, I came to an empty tomb with nine permanent lamps on the walls around the tomb, which had been extinguished. In the center of the tomb is a sarcophagus that looks very sloppy - it doesn't seem like a good word, but the workmanship of this sarcophagus is really not good, there are no jewels, no diamond carvings, as if it were six stone slabs put together.
However, this is indeed a shell tomb, with a small number of shells mixed in the stone slabs, and there should be more inside.
Contrary to the sarcophagus, the four corners of the stone chamber are placed with huge bronze tripods, and the four walls of the tripod are engraved with the sun, moon and stars. Ding was taller than me, and I stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and inside was a charred skeleton with a severed head, as well as large and small gold, silver, and jade jewelry.
I thought to myself, the owner of this tomb is too pitiful, he made his coffin so shabby, the people and animals so luxurious, and specially made a drainage system.
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, this tomb looked very ordinary, and these jewelry would be sold on the black market for only 100,000 yuan, so what danger was there? I took out my phone and looked at the screen, and I was stunned for a moment.
I don't believe in evil, open the browser and search for a weather forecast, I didn't expect it to be real!
I was immediately scared into a cold sweat, so the communication in the tomb is no problem, why did Chen Lei and his uncle lose contact?
I looked at it again, and suddenly I reached out and took out a green thing from the ding—it wasn't jade—or maybe it was just made of jade, and it didn't really matter what it was made of—because it was almost exactly the same as the bronze cart I had seen on the video before!
I looked in the other dings, and found two identical cars, a red fire truck and an earthy yellow roller, but not made of jade, but some kind of metal that I don't know, and which has not been oxidized until now.
I said to myself, Nima teased me, this is a modern burial chamber?
In the last tripod, what is found is not the evil wheel, but the belt and bracelet. If it's a funerary object, it's not pretty, but this belt and bracelet have a very strange shape, the belt is in the shape of a human face, and the bracelet has no jewelry but has a special depression, even if it is given to the museum, this kind of thing will be thrown into the garbage. I stuffed them all in my pockets, and the belt and bracelet were worn on my hands. Although we are not cultural relics dealers, it took a lot of time to get here, and it is not too much to bring something of archaeological significance back.
Anyway, there is no tomb passage from the entrance to here like the one shown in the video, is there any other space here? But this should already be the main tomb, where will there be a secret passage?
At this time, I suddenly heard a gurgling sound, which turned out to be coming from the sarcophagus!
The slate suddenly flipped upward, and I saw a withered, stone-like arm sticking out of the coffin!
I was so frightened that I was gone, and as soon as I gritted my teeth and stomped my foot, I jumped on the sarcophagus and pressed down hard to press it back. However, to my surprise, my weight could not hold down the slate! And the slate was still rising, and it was obvious that the rice dumpling underneath wanted to climb out!
"Fuck you uncle!" I scolded angrily and jumped up and pressed again, but suddenly there was a huge force from below, and I was slammed up, and I fell down all of a sudden.
The slate was lifted with a thud, and I felt bad, and rolled a few times to the corner, and the arrow was already on the bow. I held my breath, the flashlight was off, and even my eyes were closed, and I could hear where the thing was. Its breathing was heavy, and the gurgling sound in its throat was terrifying in the silence of darkness.
A picture slowly unfolded in my mind, a vague figure at least a head taller than me crawled out of the sarcophagus, looked around, and then seemed to walk aimlessly around the sarcophagus, limbs moving stiffly.
I don't have any intention of killing this zongzi, and this is a thousand-year-old zongzi, and sig-sauer and compound bows can shoot through it, but it doesn't necessarily work if it doesn't work. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to go to the tomb, and not everyone who goes down to the tomb can touch zongzi.
For zongzi, I know very little, only know that there are eighteen factors that can cause corpse transformation, each corpse transformation has different characteristics and coping methods, but unfortunately I don't have time to think about it and there is really nothing in my head, but I feel that the so-called zongzi should be similar to vampires, both of which crawled out of the grave, and the vampires' old enemies are werewolves and silver.
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, how could a poor ghost like me cut me off, and I guess there was something (this is not a complaint, I will talk about it later). Werewolf?
I spent a few years in Mexico and was well acquainted with the old hunter families there, from whom I learned my archery skills and skills. I've seen them use corpses as bait to lure werewolves in, then stun them with aconite powder and shoot them through the head with a large shotgun. I asked them why they shot their heads instead of their hearts, and the hunters said that werewolves heal themselves very quickly, that shooting organs doesn't work, they heal in a few minutes, and that they only have to destroy their central nervous system.
In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the hunter family will never allow themselves to be bitten by werewolves, and once injured, they will swallow their guns immediately. But I'm not a hunter family, so I had them extract the serum for me and inject it.
Of course, it's not the serum of werewolves, werewolves' personalities are too fierce, and only a few high-level werewolves live rationally like humans, but for this kind of high-level werewolf hunter family, they only kill werewolves who can't control themselves.
So the serum I injected came from a jaguar, which can be said to be the remnant of the Indians, genetically more stable, generally obedient, and only goes berserk on the night of the full moon.
The hunters call me a half-blood, which means orc.
I think that the strength of the werewolf and the jaguar will be greatly weakened on the night of the full moon, and the sanity will also be confused, which shows that the two are similar, and the werewolf may not be able to restrain the vampire, and the jaguar may not be incapable.
In fact, I also left a way back for myself, after the transformation, I must have the breath of a beast, and I am not a human being, according to ancient records, zongzi seems to be only interested in living people, and other animals will be directly ignored.
Taking a deep breath, my bones crackled all over my body, and I felt my pupils shift, my vision turned blue, and I could catch some light even in the darkness - or more appropriately, radiation, my senses were sensitive enough to sense heat, like a snake.
The skin of my whole body began to change, it was cold and hard like a layer of frost, and there were more black spots on the blue skin.
At the same time, sharp claws popped out between the joints of my hands, which were ten centimeters long.
