Chapter 115: Ten Thousand Souls Sacrifice Tomb (Ask for subscription, ask for subscription)
!
Xu Tianchuan decided to go down this tomb!
And this thought is very firm in my heart!
Now that they've found this place, how can they just seal the tomb and leave?
Do you want to wait to go down with the Five Ancient Gates?
Xu Tianchuan guessed that the tomb of King Qin Huan, who had been looking for ten years in Guan Xun Pass, was very likely to be here.
If you go back and come with Guan Xunshan again, then the following good things can still be your turn?
I'm afraid you can think of this with little toes.
So Xu Tianchuan plans to come to a building near the water to get the month first-come, first-served!
If this is really the tomb of King Qin Huan, with his own system storage space, how many burial goods can be emptied for him, and he doesn't know it.
Speaking of systems.
Xu Tianchuan also thought of the system task, so he immediately used his mind to collect the system task first.
This is one of the things that must be done before going to the grave.
As Xu Tianchuan's mind flashed, the task was successfully issued, and the voice resounded in Xu Tianchuan's mind.
"!"
After the system's prompt fell, Xu Tianchuan rushed over with a solemn expression.
It just so happened that at this time, a snow-capped corpse worm crawled out of the hole, but it was only half of its body, and it was directly cut off by Xu Tianchuan's sword, and the dark purple liquid and stumps in the shape of a smoothie were blown out with the storm.
Based on the observation just now, the appearance of the snow-capped corpse worm is not very dense, and it takes about two minutes to climb up from the hole below, which shows that the number of snow-capped corpse worms in the burial chamber below is not too large.
Without the assistance of the storm, the snow-capped corpse worm could only slowly squirm and crawl on the ground, so Xu Tianchuan felt that he would not be too much of a threat to himself, or even not a threat.
However, this hole with a diameter of about 20 centimeters feels that it is not as long as the 'big brother' in his peak state.
It's definitely impossible to drill straight down.
Xu Tian Whhryl Chuan then took out the Luoyang shovel and tried to smash it on the edge of the hole.
Keng ......
The violent crash was quickly drowned out by the howling of the storm, but it could be seen that under Xu Tianchuan's fierce chiseling, there were obvious signs of loosening on the edge of the cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave was originally a stone with a flat surface, which should have a certain camouflage meaning, so it didn't seem to be in harmony with other places, but because of the time, a hole with a diameter of twenty centimeters was pushed out by the corpse worm.
If you don't have such a hole, it may be a bit of a struggle to find.
Xu Tianchuan then chiseled a few more times on the edge of the cave entrance, so that the entire stone blocking the cave entrance was completely loosened, and then used the Luoyang shovel to insert the gap in the edge of the stone and pry it upward.
To be precise, it should be a stone slab 40 centimeters thick, with obvious traces of tool excavation on the downward back of the slab.
Underneath the slab is a hole with a diameter of nearly one meter.
This hole also has obvious traces of artificial excavation, and it is still inclined downward at an angle of 80 degrees, and the further down the space becomes, the wider the space.
With his night vision, Xu Tianchuan could clearly see the situation nearly twenty meters deep below from the entrance of the cave.
It's not so much that this is a cave entrance, but in Xu Tianchuan's eyes, it's more like an ancient tomb, but there are no steps.
There are a lot of snow-capped mountain corpse worms crawling on the edge of this road, slowly squirming their bodies, trying to climb up out of the road, taking advantage of the hard-won wind and snow season in the past year, taking advantage of this 'hitchhiking' to go out to find prey.
Xu Tianchuan did not hesitate at all, with the advantage of the long handle of the Luoyang shovel, first picked up the corpse worm at the edge of the hole, and then climbed into the hole, turned around and blocked it, as for a twenty-centimeter hole in the middle of the stone slab, Xu Tianchuan simply took off his coat and blocked it, so that he could avoid the corpse worm from crawling out along the hole again.
Without the threat of corpse worms, Jiao San and the others simply faced this kind of storm, although they might suffer a little, but they would not be in danger of their lives.
As for the hole in front of him, the diameter and width were only one meter at the beginning, and Xu Tianchuan took the Luoyang shovel and bent his body to the lowest before he could barely pass.
Although Xu Tianchuan does not know how to shrink bones or cartilage, his professional 'posture' is excellent, mainly because of his good waist!
In addition, because this artificially dug cave is inclined downward, the further you go in, the wider the space.
After walking almost fifteen meters inward, the diameter of the cave was almost the same as Xu Tianchuan's height, and further in, the width of the cave did not change, as if it was just cut for Xu Tianchuan's height.
But out of psychological problems, Xu Tianchuan still subconsciously lowered his head slightly to avoid bumping.
As for the corpse worms attached to the stone wall of the cave along the way, Xu Tianchuan took the Luoyang shovel and saw that they were beaten one by one, all of them were sloppy, and the dark purple liquid splashed on the stone wall, and the number was too large, which produced a special smell, which was very close to the smell of rotting corpses, after all, this thing survived by sucking corpse water, so it was normal to have this disgusting smell.
If only the appearance of this kind of corpse worm appears, it is not a threat, but Xu Tianchuan is still vigilant at all times, because Xu Tianchuan feels that the more he goes inside, the heavier the yin qi becomes, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, which is also the key reason why the snow mountain corpse worm can survive here all year round.
After about twenty meters of depth, the cave that sloped down came to an end.
And the end of the cave is not the tomb chamber that Xu Tianchuan imagined, nor the tomb door, but a very wide and long crack!
Xu Tianchuan looked at the crack that appeared in front of him and was completely stunned.
It's not uncommon for mountains to crack, but it's really new to have cracks in the interior of the mountain.
And it can be determined that this crack is naturally formed.
There is no end in sight on both sides because of the twists and turns of the mountain, and there is a copper suspension bridge in front of it that is nearly 20 meters wide!
On the opposite bank of the copper cable suspension bridge is a huge stone gate that is closed!
"Finally see the tomb gate!"
Xu Tianchuan looked at a huge closed stone door on the other side of the crack, and his heart was mixed, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The way this tomb gate appears is simply so special! It was built on the opposite bank of the mountain crack, and then a copper rope bridge was erected in the middle.
This copper cable bridge has a width of one meter and five, and there are four copper cables with a diameter of five centimeters on both sides as the main suspension beam, and there are many slightly thinner copper cables laid below, and the copper cables are covered with a layer of flat copper plates to facilitate walking.
Because of the long time, the entire copper rope bridge is covered with a layer of green patina, which can be accurately distinguished from the thick layer of patina, at least for more than a thousand years.
What is puzzling is how much does this copper rope bridge more than 20 meters long and one meter and five wide weigh? There is no support in the middle, just hanging in the air, but it is fixed at both ends, so how much weight does the two ends of this copper cable bridge need to support? It hasn't fallen for thousands of years.
Xu Tianchuan took a deep breath, marveled at the work of the ancients in his heart, and then took a step forward, stepped on the copper rope bridge with his left foot, and wanted to try the solidity of the copper rope bridge first, and at the same time subconsciously glanced under the mountain crack, by the way, to see how deep the mountain crack was.
In case you accidentally fall, at least you can be mentally prepared.
That is, Xu Tianchuan subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at the crack under his feet.
This glance instantly made Xu Tianchuan creepy!
I saw that about twenty meters deep under the crack, it was all white bones! And it's all human bones!
"Mass grave!"
Even if Xu Tianchuan, who was extremely bold and had experienced large-scale tombs, saw this scene at the moment, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and a cold sweat broke out from his spine.
It's spectacular and terrifying!
All the bones piled up under the cracks in the mountain are Bai Sensen's bones, and there is no end in sight on both sides, which is probably far more than 10,000 corpses, even if it is 100,000, I am afraid it will not be an exaggeration.
And the corpse was crawling with worms.
Huge corpse worms wriggled their tentacles like roots and poked into their skulls, and although the bones were gone, they still seemed to be partying.
"How can there be a mass grave in this place?"
"All of them are martyrs? Martyrs involved in the construction of the tomb? ”
If it is not a natural cave in the mountain as a burial chamber, but a manual excavation, it does require a lot of manpower, and the workers involved in the construction of the tomb have been buried with it after the completion of the project.
But Xu Tianchuan finally shook his head and denied this speculation.
Not to mention that the Qin Dynasty has abolished the system of martyrdom, even if it is a real burial, it is impossible for so many people to be martyred.
In addition, the historical records record that King Qin Huan was sympathetic and loved by the people and was deeply loved by the people, how could he let so many people give him a funeral?
These bones under the cracks in the mountain should be one-tenth of the total population of Luoyang City at that time.
There is also a plausible explanation, these bones are soldiers who died on the battlefield!
Especially before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the war burned the prairies, and at that time, every time a battle was fought, in order to prevent the occurrence of plague, the corpses would be collectively disposed of, and the best way was to dig a pit and bury it.
If the number of people is large, it will be too time-consuming to dig a pit, so this mountain gap is the best place to concentrate on throwing corpses.
This also made Xu Tianchuan.jsshcxx.think of a historical record, the famous general of the Qin State, Bai Qi, once broke the Han and Wei coalition forces in Luoyang Longmen Mountain, and killed tens of thousands of Han and Wei coalition troops!
"Could it be that these are all the bones of the Han and Wei coalition forces back then?"
Xu Tianchuan nodded subconsciously, this possibility still exists.
A royal tomb of the Qin Dynasty was built next to the mass grave of the Han and Wei coalition forces who were killed by themselves?
That sounds like.
And in fact, this is also a burial method, called the 'Ten Thousand Souls Sacrifice Tomb'!
