Chapter 154: The Man Who Never Dies
I put down the equipment in my hand, first turned sideways and went down cautiously, and then caught Wu Honghong and Chen Yina. When we went down to the bottom and took a lighter, we couldn't help but be surprised - we saw a room made of stones, and looking at the surrounding situation, this should be an underground palace.
"Is this also part of the Tomb of Ying Zheng?" Zhao Zhen asked.
I nodded, "It should be, let's go, let's be careful." Since the road is here, we can always find it. ”
The only way out ahead was a stone gate. The stone door is closed, but traces of it being opened in recent times can be seen underneath the door.
"Is this a tomb door?" Zhao Zhen said, he gasped after touching it, "It's really the tomb gate!" ”
"It looks like this may be a tomb within a tomb, and there is an even older tomb inside the tomb of Ying Zheng. Later, after the upper tomb was repaired, this place was retained as the lowest underground palace! ”
"Damn, then let's go in, isn't it equivalent to fighting backwards?" Yelu Qinghui said.
"What, you're scared?" I asked.
"No, I'm excited." Yelu Qinghui said, "How many brothers do you think, how long has it been since you entered the real fight?" If we really come to fight, it is a revisit, although not of a practical nature. But in terms of situation, we can have a good time! ”
I said in my heart that Yelu Qinghui really had everything to say, so I said to him: "That's okay, you can ask the second master first." ”
"Don't, although I said so, but after this time, I really peed a little, and I decided to go back and change my career to selling Chinese cabbage."
Although Yelu Qinghui said it was not serious, when I entered here, I also had a feeling that this place was different from the outside. Do you think, how could Zhao Ji allow the tomb of his precious son Qin Shi Huang to have someone else's tomb in it? This is simply unbelievable, there is only one reason, that is, this tomb has its own special features, perhaps, she did it deliberately.
"Zhao Zhen, take the cigarettes out, we still have to follow the rules." Yelu Qinghui said to Zhao Zhen.
"According to the previous rules, you have to light incense to worship when you enter the ancient tomb, which shows that you are a poor bastard, the old lady is seriously ill, and the wife is robbed, and you must rely on this windfall to live, in order to get the forgiveness of the tomb owner." Yelu Qinghui said of course even more eloquently, saying that the women of your Ying family are unreliable, the son is dead, the lover is reversed, and so on.
"I said Lin Kun, are you gods and ghosts contracting people going to the tomb unimpeded and without taboos." Yelu Qinghui said.
"Don't worry, I'm also human, our future is uncertain now, I won't joke with my life."
Yelu Qinghui nodded, handed me a cigarette, and said, "When you smoke, take a big sip, and I'll just take a few second-hand puffs." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up."
Yelu Qinghui was urged by me, so he went to push the stone door, and after pushing a few times, he found that there was something behind the stone door, and I looked through the crack in the door and saw a running stone.
"How are you going to open this stone door?" Yelu Qinghui asked.
I pulled something out of my bag, it was a special hook, "It's okay, there's me." ”
With that, I put the hook behind the tomb door and went to open the stone.
Tap stone is a very famous thing, and when leaving the tomb, it can be used to make the stone door close on its own. Now many archaeological team members do not know the origin of this thing when they enter the ancient tomb for the first time
and chose to use violence to forcibly open the door of the ancient tomb. They open it once and find out what's wrong, but it's often too late. The tomb doors were damaged beyond repair.
When Wu Guoliang came down, he walked in reverse, no problem, but the stone gate is now automatically closed, and it is not so easy to open it with a card from the stone.
"I'll try." Zhao Zhen was interested in seeing this tool for the first time, but he didn't seem to be particularly skilled in using this tool, and he didn't open it for a long time.
"Dude, I'm not very skilled in business!"
"Haha, I haven't been into a few serious fights, and the people who follow me are all masters, and I don't have a chance to practice. You know. Before I messed with you, I had so many fights. It would be nice to have a few pit planers. ”
"So you have to thank us for giving you a long time?"
"Shit, just have a lot of knowledge and no money!"
As he spoke, he saw the door loosen suddenly. I leaned against the top of the stone door, and the door finally opened.
A huge stone path appeared in front of us, and it was pitch black inside. We turned on our flashlights. Race to look inside. I found that I was still not used to calling it a tomb path - it was very different from the ones I had seen before, it was not decorated, but it was very similar to the stone paths I had seen before in the mountains.
"What is this place?"
"This tomb looks a bit of a foundation! The tomb of Ying Zheng above can only be regarded as a rich man at best, it is all copper smell, and there is no taste, but here it is all smashed out of stones, and this project is obviously much more difficult than the above. ”
"Moreover, with these stones as the foundation for the ancient tomb above, the earthquake resistance of the ancient tomb will be much higher!" I added.
"Could this be Zhao Ji's purpose?" Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically, "She is worried that the demolition of this ancient tomb will lead to an unstable foundation?" ”
There's nothing in the tomb, and it doesn't seem like there's any mechanism.
We turned on our flashlights and looked around as we walked into the graveyard. I touched the stone walls and found that they were all volcanic rock. There are two drainage ditches on both sides of the stone path, which connect to the drainage system under the tomb.
"That's not right." I looked at the gutter above ground in confusion, "The groundwater just flooded this place. But it seems that there is no water flowing here for many years. ”
"yes, weird!"
"Could it be that all the groundwater has gone into the cave, and there is less groundwater flowing here? Whatever the reason, this is a pretty good thing for the preservation of the tombs. Zhao Zhen said.
We walked sixty or seventy meters, and the cemetery began to turn. After walking about thirty meters further, a row of huge coffins suddenly appeared in the center of the passage ahead, each the size of a refrigerator with double doors, arranged in a line on the edge of the stone path.
We went up and counted them, and there were sixty as many.
"These are the ancestors who are quite strong, look at this body shape is catching up with Japanese sumo wrestlers, are you sure that we Chinese are buried here?" Yelu Qinghui said.
"These are joint burial coffins, and there are two bodies in them. In this way, it seems that the coffins of the more loving model couples are here. I explained.
If you look closely, there is a stone door behind these large coffins, and there is a large black pillar on the left and right to see the thickness of the coffin, which seems to extend from the top, which may be the part of the ancient tomb that goes deep into the ground.
The stone door was ajar, and it was clear that someone had come out of it. Zhao Zhen wanted to go over, so I grabbed him and said, "Don't go over, you see that there are people on these pillars."
The traces of the combing, a lot of things have been pasted. ”
When I looked closer, it was all adhesive tape.
"These tapes are attached to the countless small eyes on the surface of the pillar, as if they have been eaten by termites, all of them are small holes."
"Tear it open and see." Zhao Zhen wanted to tear off a piece to see, but I blocked it, "There must be a reason why these holes are pasted, don't move around." ”
"Are these tapes pasted by Wu Guoliang?"
"Not necessarily." I shook my head, "He's only one person, and it's going to take a lot of work to get that tape all over it." ”
"Huh?" Yelu Qinghui and Zhao Zhen looked at me in surprise, "Who could that be?" ”
"A man who never dies."
"The one who never dies?" Zhao Zhen looked puzzled, "Who?" ”
"I advise you that you still don't know." I smiled and looked at it again, gluing all the tape again with the military tape we had brought with us, before carefully pushing open the stone door.
However, the moment I pushed open the stone door, I saw that all the tape suddenly sucked in, and there seemed to be some change in air pressure at the entrance of the cave.
"Sure enough, there's something wrong!" It occurred to me that this tomb could use air pressure as a power drive mechanism, which could be quite cleverly made.
After the stone door was pushed open, we entered sideways, and quickly shot a flashlight into all the corners, only to see that there was a stone chamber inside. On the wall in the middle of the stone chamber, there is another door.
There was a turntable-shaped lock on the door, Yelu Qinghui and Zhao Zhen pushed the door with their backs, their waists and legs were strengthened, and a creaking sound came, I thought it was the sound of the door, but just as we were about to open the door, suddenly a few carrion white arms stretched out.
"I'll you!" Yelu Qinghui's eyes widened and he was startled.
As soon as he let go of his hand, the door automatically brought back, those miserable white arms were caught in the crack of the door, the fingers of those dead people scratched the iron door, the sound of nails and iron sheets rubbing, in the empty tunnel, it seemed to be very moving, listening to the scalp tightened, eager to reach out to cover their ears, not to let this sound of penetrating bone marrow into the head.
"It's something up there!" Zhao Zhen didn't say a word, swung out a long knife, slashed it casually, cut off several arms and a carrion head that poked out of the crack in the door, and a lot of black viscous liquid suddenly flowed out of the severed limbs, the smell was strange and foul, and the people wanted to vomit.
"Close the door!"
Zhao Zhen slashed a few more times, but there were more and more rotting corpse limbs sticking out of it, and the door that was about to close was forced open a few inches, and there seemed to be an endless mysterious power behind the door, which was beyond the scope of human beings to fight.
Chen Yina and Wu Honghong saw that the three of us were nervous, and they also struggled to come over to help, and the five of us gritted our teeth and used all our strength, but not only could the door never go back, but the crack in the door was stretched bigger and bigger, and finally under the huge force of the stormy waves, we were knocked to the ground, and the door was finally completely knocked open from the inside.
"Everyone, be careful!"
The door was slammed open by a tremendous force coming from inside, and it seemed as if a mountain was about to move behind it. In my experience, although the average carrion corpse is powerful, it is slow and stiff, and those zombies full of maggots alone will never make such a movement, and there must be something unusual buried in that ancient tomb.
But it was impossible for us to stay in front of the door, waiting to see what would crawl out of it, and seeing that my plan to rely on the door to take a defensive position had failed, I hurriedly told the others to retreat outside the passage.
