Volume 1 Night Tomb Hill 0033 Night Tomb Hill
Liu Bushuai frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "I'll try it." ”
"This is an ancient country in the middle of the desert, and it is supposed to be the most powerful of the neighboring countries, but I don't understand its name or age." Liu Bushuai looked at the calligraphy and painting and said, "The king here has worked hard, and under his rule, the kingdom is prosperous and strong, and all the countries of the desert are subservient to him. ”
After speaking, this part should be over, Liu Bushuai took the two of them and continued to walk forward, looking at the next part of the mural.
"In a certain year, there was a natural vision, and a dark cloud came from the south, and stopped over the royal city, covering the sky and the sun, but it did not rain, and for several months, the day was like night, and everyone thought it was a bad omen."
Zheng Xiaofeng said: "There are dark clouds, and it hasn't rained for several months?" Really? ”
"I don't know." Liu Bushuai said, "But that's exactly what it says." In ancient times, it was normal for some bizarre legends to exist. ”
The three of them then moved on to the next one.
"The royal family and officials were unable to solve the problem, so the king ordered a general to go to the Central Plains to find a master to solve the vision."
"On the night of the general's departure, the royal city suddenly moved, the houses toppled down, and the people were killed and wounded. Cracks erupted in the ground, and thousands of ghost soldiers poured out of the ground, killing in large numbers. ”
"Ghost soldiers? What is this again? Cheng Ruxue also asked.
"Could it be the monsters we encountered?" Zheng Xiaofeng saw that the ghost soldiers on the painting were not quite similar to those monsters, but they were still a little similar, so he said.
After pondering for a while, several people didn't have any ideas, so Zheng Xiaofeng said to Liu Bushuai: "You better talk about it first." ”
Liu Bushuai nodded, continued to walk forward, and said: "The ghost soldiers slaughtered all the people in the city, and then attacked the palace, and the palace guards were powerless to resist, and the royal family and hundreds of officials were in danger. ”
"At that time, the general led troops back to help, rushed into the palace, rescued the king and everyone, fought all the way, escaped from the royal city by luck, and the ghost soldiers couldn't catch up."
"The king fled all the way east, crossed the desert to the mountains, and stopped in a hidden place in the mountains, so that the surviving people and soldiers could rebuild the royal city and recuperate."
Liu Bushuai hadn't finished saying this, Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue were already surprised when they looked at the rebuilding of the royal city on the painting.
"This ...... Could it be this place? Liu Bushuai also realized something, stopped and asked.
I saw that the layout of the reconstructed royal city in the painting was clearly the same as the ancient village they had just seen.
"So we stumbled into the ground by mistake and found a royal tomb? With all due respect, this king is a little shabby, isn't he? Zheng Xiaofeng said in disbelief.
Liu Bushuai's attention was also completely attracted by this painting, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Let's finish the painting first." ”
"When the royal city was built, the king held a banquet to celebrate, and he wanted to congratulate the general on his rescue work, but the general had a rebellious heart and assassinated him at the banquet, the king died, and the general was killed by the guards."
"The crown prince succeeded to the throne, built a royal tomb for the first king, and used the secret technique of reincarnation, set up an altar of resurrection, and placed the king's body in a crystal coffin, so that when the opportunity came after a thousand years, the sacrificial ceremony was opened, and the king woke up again, left the mausoleum, and returned to the kingdom."
This is the end of the mural, the amount of information is obviously a bit large, and the three of them stood in place for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"So...... So...... If we go any further, what kind of altar will we see? Cheng Ruxue asked.
"It looks like so." Liu Bushuai replied.
"Why do I think this is a bit like a supernatural adventure novel?" Zheng Xiaofeng said, "It's too exaggerated to bring the dead back to life, right?" ”
Liu Bushuai said: "Ancient records usually add some exaggerated elements to increase the legend, in order to express the record's respect or good wishes for the recorded. ”
Zheng Xiaofeng said: "Then since this is the case, let's move on, right?" I also wanted to see what the royal tomb was like. ”
The two nodded in agreement, and the three of them continued on their way. The passage was much deeper than expected, and the three of them had walked for nearly an hour, presumably leaving the confines of the ancient city, when a stone gate appeared in front of them.
The three of them walked to the stone gate, Zheng Xiaofeng did not dare to rush away, but first looked back at Liu Bushuai's opinion.
Liu Bushuai pointed to a few characters on the stone door, and Zheng Xiaofeng asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Liu Bushuai's face was not very good-looking, and he breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "It said...... Ghoul...... Dead ......"
"This ...... Interesting? Zheng Xiaofeng was a little speechless and said, "Besides, we are not tomb robbers, so there should be nothing wrong, right?" ”
"Traps can't tell who's passing by and who's a grave robber." Liu Bushuai also expressed his helplessness, "However, many organs are set up in the coffin of the tomb owner, we just want to leave, do not touch the coffin, it will be relatively safe." ”
Zheng Xiaofeng had no choice but to ask: "Then let's push this door open now...... It's not a big problem, is it? ”
"Hmm...... Hmm-" Liu Bushuai vaguely expressed his affirmation, Zheng Xiaofeng only felt that his heart was even more empty, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt uncertain. But considering that everyone had no way out now, he gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.
At first, it was still dark behind the door, and nothing could be seen, but when the stone door was fully opened, a fire suddenly lit up, and many permanent lights were lit one after another, and the front gradually became clear.
"Ahh
The scene here is far more spectacular than they imagined.
It's a grand circular burial chamber the size of any mega stadium. Four copper chains as thick as the mouth of a bowl hung diagonally from the top of the tomb in four directions, like four red dragons flying and hovering in midair. A huge translucent crystal coffin, held by a dragon's head, hovered more than ten meters above the ground, right in the center of the tomb. The size of the coffin is roughly estimated, dozens of times the size of an ordinary coffin, and it is more than enough to hold hundreds of people, which should be the coffin of the tomb owner. The burial chamber is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and there are dozens of stone strata at the edges, just like the spectator seats of a gymnasium, enclosing the entire burial chamber in the middle. The stone steps were crowded with blood-red coffins, and the number was terrifying, perhaps hundreds, perhaps thousands, as if they were spectators, looking at everything beneath the stage. Next to each coffin is a lantern, lit by firelight, like a galaxy. Directly on the ground facing the crystal coffin stood a circular bronze vessel of unknown use, nearly as tall as a man, and densely engraved with runes. The whole tomb is majestic, imposing, and people standing in it are as small as dust, which is really breathtaking.
The three of them were completely shocked, and couldn't help but be amazed, especially Zheng Xiaofeng, just now he laughed at this Wang shabby, and now when he looks at it, just looking at the vastness of the project here, it is enough to be worthy of the word Wang Ling.
The three of them admired and slowly walked into the tomb, Liu Bushuai stared at the crystal coffin for a while, and said, "This coffin is also too big." ”
Zheng Xiaofeng asked, "What?" Have you never seen such a large coffin before? ”
Liu Bushuai shook his head and said: "Of course not, the size of this coffin can be described as terrifying, not to mention anything else, just such a big piece of crystal, I'm afraid the world can't find a second one." ”
Zheng Xiaofeng listened, nodded thoughtfully, and the three of them walked in while watching, and before they knew it, they walked to the middle of the tomb, and then their eyes were all attracted by the bronze container on the ground.
The three men stepped forward and looked around the container. It looks like a water tank, the bottom of the tank and the ground are tightly connected, and it seems to be one, Zheng Xiaofeng asked, "What is this?" Is that altar? ”
Liu Bushuai stared at the container for a while, his eyes revealed a little confusion, it seemed that he couldn't say it accurately, Zheng Xiaofeng had to ask again: "Then there are so many words engraved on it, what does it mean?" ”
Liu Bushuai shook his head again and said, "I can't understand it this time, these words are indeed the same as before, but they are illogical, incoherent, and can't be connected in sentences at all." ”
Zheng Xiaofeng jumped twice, looked at the bottom of the container, and didn't find anything inside, but the appearance inside was very peculiar, as if it was assembled from piece after piece of bronze, from bottom to top, layer by layer, there was actually some meaning of this miniature model of the tomb.
At this time, Cheng Ruxue said to Liu Bushuai: "By the way, didn't you just say that there may be other passages leading to the outside in this tomb, where is it?" ”
Liu Bushuai scratched his head, looked around in all directions, but didn't see any passages, his expression was a little embarrassed, and said, "This... I can't say, it looks like we'll have to look carefully. ”
"But...... This place is so big, how do you find it? And...... I don't think there's any passage? Cheng Ruxue said again.
"Uh...... Maybe there's some kind of mechanism that will get out of the secret door when you press it? ”
When Zheng Xiaofeng heard this, his face suddenly turned black, and he said in his heart that Liu Bushuai has always said that he is not good at learning, and now it seems that he may not be modest. At the same time, Zheng Xiaofeng was also a little worried, and couldn't help asking: "You said that there are so many coffins here, there won't be all those skeletons lying inside, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bushuai and Cheng Ruxue's faces changed significantly, Cheng Ruxue looked at the seals of those coffins were all covered, and asked tentatively: "It should be... No way? ”
Zheng Xiaofeng said: "No matter what, let's find it as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
The other two nodded in agreement, and the three men cautiously approached the coffins, and when they saw that they had not moved, they began to search along the perimeter of the tomb. As expected, this tomb is the same from a distance and up, there is no passage at all, not even anything that seems to be a secret door, they looked around, nothing was found, this place seemed to be completely sealed, as for Bai Qianyu, it was even more traceless.
Zheng Xiaofeng was still a little unwilling, looked at the stone steps higher, and said, "Why don't I climb up and take a look?" ”
Three people, you look at me, I look at you, I can't make up my mind for a while, and after a while, Cheng Ruxue said: "I think...... Don't do it. ”
"Why?" Zheng Xiaofeng asked.
Cheng Ruxue said: "I'm just talking about my personal thoughts. First of all, I think your worries are not unreasonable, these coffins are too similar to the two we saw in the cave, they don't seem to be in danger now, but that doesn't mean they haven't been there, if we can't be sure that there must be an exit here, it's better not to stay too long. Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't find the trap that opened the secret door, but instead found the trap? ”
