Chapter 30: The Milky Way (1)
The trail of the golden ball rolling through the passage was all over the passage. The ornate staircase full of history has been smashed into potholes. Some of the walls are recessed. The ramp down the road was littered with dents made by the golden ball. But no one had the time to look around. Rush down at full speed.
Multiply...... Jiang Xian raised his hand, and the tip of the umbrella swiped across the wall, and he tapped it lightly twice, making a crisp knocking sound. His eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "This is Qin Brick!" And it is a rare Qin Dynasty painting brick. β
In the shortest possible time, we collected any information that could be searched. The number of people is small, although the logistics are insufficient. But personal initiative has been forced to the peak under the extreme killing machine. Ling Xiaozi's eyes moved slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This tomb is very strange, and the entrance is directly opened. It may not have a real entrance, which in cryptology is called 'no door into the ground'. It may have only one exit, and it can get out but not in. β
He took a sip and grinded his teeth and sneered: "This kind of cemetery, the trap-killing moves hidden in it are much more terrifying than ordinary graveyards. Everybody...... Be careful. β
Before the words fell, the sound of something falling below became more and more intense. The uproar is getting louder and louder! Such as...... A gap has opened in the Netherworld, and countless ghosts have rushed out!
"Flowing sounds." "Something is leaking out!" "We're not fast enough! Gotta be a little faster! β
Damn it...... Jiang Xian was anxious, and legend has it that there are six major organs handed down in the tomb of the Qin Emperor. And one of them, called quicksand burial.
If the noise below comes from the falling sea of quicksand...... It's going to block all their pathways! Make it impossible to find his curse of the Black Death Butterfly!
Wow - he suddenly opened the umbrella, the umbrella was facing the ground, and he jumped on it first. Holding the handle of the umbrella, he shouted around, "Go first!" β
Zilaββ! The tip of the black umbrella and the ramp rub out a little bit of spark. With the tip of the umbrella as the center, the surface of the umbrella rotates like a propeller. Jiang Xian jumped onto the handle of the umbrella in one step. Unexpectedly, the sparks rushed down with lightning lightning.
"And this kind of operation?!" Ling Xiaozi was dumbfounded. scolded angrily: "The turtle son crossed the river and demolished the bridge!" Isn't that dizzy! It's unreasonable! β
In response to him, it was a middle finger sent by Jiang Xian.
The speed was a little faster, and Ling Xiaozi's chattering and scolding gradually disappeared behind him. The road in front of me is getting wider and wider, and sculptures resembling terracotta warriors and horses have appeared. Ahead, the tumult grew louder and louder.
It's water...... Jiang Xian's eyes were fixed on the bottom, he had already determined that this sound was made by the flow of water, and the sound of quicksand would be more dull.
"But...... Flooded mausoleum? He had already felt the exquisite dice in his hand, looked down solemnly, and muttered: "This is not scientific, the ancient people were not stupid at all." Those who participated in the construction of this type of mausoleum were the great masters of various industries at that time, and it was impossible for them not to know the consequences of the water entering the tomb. β
At this moment, the eyes suddenly opened up. The ramp finally saw the end, and the sight ahead was incredible!
Great Wall......
The neat passage came to an abrupt end here, and in its place, there was an endless underground Great Wall!
It's hard to describe how big the crypt outside the exit is, at least it's comparable to a sports center. It is flanked by endless pitch black, with an underground ridge in the center. I don't know if it's piled up or formed naturally. It is like a sleeping dragon in the center. A 30-meter-wide and hundreds of meters long Great Wall was built on it. In the darkness, you can clearly see the torch spreading all the way into the darkness. It is as if I am dreaming back to Daqin, looking at Chang'an thousands of years ago in the dark night.
It is not exactly the same as the Great Wall, the battlements of the Great Wall are not very high, however, the battlements of the city wall here are a full five meters! Walking in the middle, it is as if you have entered the ancient palace wall.
There are no torches left here.
However, that doesn't mean there is no light. Every fifty meters, there is a tower. But what makes people shudder is that the castle tower ...... The beacon fire has been lit all the way, and it does not know where it has been. As if to warn everyone, if you set foot here, you will face the attack of the Great Qin army with all your might!
Magnificent and majestic, two emotions hit the heart, forming an emotion called emotion. However, Jiang Xian did not sigh, in this fantastic and unpredictable underground world, the Great Wall is not terrible, what is terrible is ...... There are people on the Great Wall!
Countless people!
No...... It's not appropriate to say that it is human, that is...... Dried corpses piled up all over the Great Wall!
There are simply countless of them, densely packed, crowded, shoulder to shoulder. Their faces were extremely hideous, some of them were running frantically, while many more were lying on the Great Wall, showing extremely painful expressions. Some grabbed their necks with their hands, and some desperately tore at their faces. Some held their bellies...... Although the postures vary. But the same thing is......
Everyone, showing an unusually painful look. Even the facial features are distorted.
Hell ukiyo-e.
"I'm ...... day" At this moment, a gasping voice came from behind Jiang Xian. Ling Xiaozi and the others finally rushed down, looking at everything in front of them in amazement: "I'm ...... day"
It is impossible to describe it in words, or rather, in this extreme shock, no one is in the mood to describe it all with adjectives.
"This corpse ...... Non-rotten? The eight-armed Arhat looked at the group of corpses in front of him and said in disbelief.
Chu Ziyi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention the corpse first, everyone...... Where did the Golden Ball go? β
"The Great Wall is up, and the passage in is down. Can't the golden ball roll uphill? Okay, even if it rolls up, then why aren't these corpses crushed? β
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they were all shocked by the strange scene in front of them just now, but now that they came back to their senses, everyone realized a problem.
What about the Golden Ball?
Disappeared into thin air?
"It's not like it just disappeared." Ling Xiaozi squatted on the ground, and his fingers touched the ground inch by inch: "It's a mechanism, there is a gentle point between the passage and the center of the Great Wall, which is this city tower." And there is a flap mechanism here, and I guess it should be that when the gold ball falls outside, the mechanism here is opened. And the golden ball falls into it, creating an illusion of disappearance. β
He stood up and said solemnly: "There are many horrors in ancient tombs. Some are not just mechanisms, and some are psychological horrors achieved by using mechanisms. Don't underestimate the ancients, their IQ is by no means lower than that of modern people. In particular, the designer who was able to build this kind of tomb was definitely the best among the people at that time! β
No one answered.
The atmosphere of the scene was frozen to horror. Originally, everyone wanted to rush over as fast as possible - the sound of a mechanism that could be heard by people from a very long distance must be extremely large, and extremely deadly when activated. If you can, you want to rush through it before it's fully activated. However, the current situation is already strange, and no one dares to rush forward.
In this silence, Jiang Xian gritted his teeth and took the lead out of the city tower.
He solemnly grasped the black umbrella and stopped step by step. However, after walking a few meters, nothing happened.
Not far in front of him, there was a corpse.
It was dressed in a rudimentary skit, and its hands were raised, as if it were pounding something like crazy. His body did not decompose, however...... Thousands of years have passed, and his features have been distorted.
The eyeballs were nearly shriveled, sinking into the swarthy sockets. The skin is sallow, but it shines with an eerie glow. The mouth is wide open, and you can even see the pitch-black teeth inside. The whole person ...... It's like some monster has sucked the flesh and marrow clean, leaving only the skin wrapped in the bones.
It's not like a human at all...... Instead, it's more like a twisted ghost. It is quietly waiting for its prey.
Trample...... Jiang Xian approached step by step, and the fingertips holding the handle of the umbrella were white. Cold sweat slowly seeped down his forehead, his lips were tightly pursed, and his breath was almost gone. Walked up to a meter in front of the corpse, vigilantly stretched out the tip of the umbrella and poked the other party.
Behind him, Ling Xiaozi pulled out his short sword, and the eight-armed Arhat's fingertips flashed with silver...... Everyone was instinctively defensive. However, tens of seconds passed, and the corpse still did not react. Nothing strange climbed out either.
"It's a real corpse." Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief and put on gloves: "Whoever has dissection experience, come up and help." β
Hong Siniang stood up, and the two of them silently put down the body. Jiang Xian took out a scalpel from his backpack and slashed it towards the corpse's throat.
However, under all the circumstances, the sharp scalpel could not cut into the throat of the other party at all, and only went half an inch deep before stopping.
The two glanced at each other in surprise, and Jiang Xian's fingertips suddenly forced. This time, the scalpel went straight into the throat of the other party, and as it slowly cut open, everyone gasped.
...... in the other person's throat The inside presents a sticky texture. And...... It has a silvery-white glow!
"This is ......" Jiang Xian's eyes flashed, and then he immediately cut it at his stomach. With the incision of the stomach, the situation inside turned out to be exactly the same as the throat!
"It's ...... Mercury! Jiang Xian brushed it lightly, and a little silver light flashed on his gloves. He raised his head in amazement and looked at the endless underground Great Wall: "These people ...... All of them were killed by mercury. β
Hong Siniang took a deep breath, even if it was him, he felt a chill down his spine at the moment. He looked at the Great Wall underground, and then at the dissected stomach, and opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say anything.
Over here...... At least tens of thousands!
Every inch of this Great Wall is crowded with people. No...... Maybe it's more than tens of thousands, maybe it's ...... Maybe 100,000!
Jiang Xian pinched his eyebrows, not to mention others, even he felt like a man's back. He said in a deep voice: "There is only one possibility for their outfit...... They are the people who built the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum! β
Chu Ziyi's voice was a little fluttering: "The construction of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum did not release a single person back then, and it was originally speculated that they were all in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. I didn't expect ...... All killed here? β
Jiang Xian didn't speak, and in the dark, he felt a light in his mind. The threads are being pieced together at a rapid pace.
Roar...... The sound of running water...... Golden Ball ...... Mercury Corpse ...... After more than ten seconds, he stood up abruptly and looked solemnly ahead: "I know...... What's that hoop? β
"It's mercury!"
"This sloping Great Wall is just for pouring mercury! We're either going to retreat, or we're going to be able to get in again. Either...... You can only fight against the water...... Look!! β
With the direction of his fingers. Everyone saw that along the slope of the Great Wall, a pale color had slowly flowed down!
"I'm an immortal...... Ling Xiaozi's lips were trembling, and his eyelids looked at the city walls on both sides: "I said why is this city wall so high, it turns out ...... Is it so that the mercury completely drowns us? β
Right now!
Boom Boom!!
Endless voices rang out. And this voice ...... It's from behind them!
Everyone was stunned, and then goosebumps burst on their arms, and they suddenly looked back.
The passage through which they came has completely disappeared! In its place, there is a huge stone wall!
