Chapter 151: Brave the Forbidden Land
The brick road is in the shape of a round arch, about two meters high and four meters wide, and there was originally a boulder blocking the doorway, but the boulder has been broken and fell in pieces around the brick road.
"Since we all see it that way, let's go this way."
"Good!"
We didn't stop at the door and walked straight inside.
Walking into the brick hallway, the air smelled musty, but it was good news, which meant that the opening of the hole was only recent, and the air hadn't even had time to circulate.
The brick road is not very long, about a few tens of meters later, we came to a fork in the road with a 90-degree horizontal separation, and when I shone a flashlight, both ends disappeared into the darkness, and I couldn't see where it led.
"Lin Kun, which way should I go?" Deyang Ram turned his head and asked me.
I glanced at the forks on both sides, hesitated, and said, "I don't know which direction it is, but, according to Yun Ding'e's words, all the places in the forbidden land can't be judged according to ordinary thinking, Dagu Mountain is on the left, so let's just go to the right." ”
"That's too hasty." Deyang Ram said rationally.
"In that case, let's flip a coin."
"Uh......" Uncle Ciwang was also speechless when he heard it.
After saying that, I took out a coin and said with a smile: "Do you want words or human heads?" The word is on the left, and the head is on the right. ”
Seeing this, Deyang Ram was also a little helpless, so he casually chose a side: "Then let's say it." ”
"Okay, it's a 50% probability anyway, it's okay to be wrong, just take a few more steps." I tossed a coin in my hand, put it on the back of my hand, and when I opened it, it was a human head.
Without further ado, I took the lead towards the fork in the road on the right.
We didn't go far before we were blocked by a stone wall, and what was under the stone wall made us look at each other and be a little frightened for a while.
I took my flashlight and swept the bottom of the stone wall, and I saw five or six white bones. Ci Wang's throat twitched, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face a little unsightly.
"These people have been dead for hundreds of years." Uncle Ciwang said.
"Well, though, look over there." I pointed to the side of the white bones, and saw that under the stone wall, there was a corpse pressed, waist-high by the wall weighing more than a thousand catties into a meatloaf, the expression on his face was completely frozen on the expression of extreme fear before death, and the fragments of internal organs and scarlet blood sprayed all around.
"Judging by his clothes and the extent of the decomposition of his corpse, it should be that he just died, and it is estimated that he is from Yunnan." I looked at the dead bodies.
The degree of decomposition of the corpse was not very serious, it is estimated that the time of death was not long, and the smell of musty air in the graveyard somewhat masked the stench, so we quickly walked to the front to notice the corpse.
"Lin Kun's judgment is right." Uncle Ciwang nodded and said, "Yunnan did take this path. ”
I leaned over to the stone wall, pushed it tentatively, but the stone wall didn't move, and looked around the corpse again, and found that on the left side of the corpse, blood had accumulated in a small pool of blood about the size of a drawer.
"You see there's a depression here, like a mechanism that triggers a stone wall to fall?"
When Deyang Ram heard this, he covered his nose and came to my side, and he didn't dare to look at the head of the dead corpse that was close at hand, he only stared at the small blood pool, nodded and said: "This is the trigger point of the mechanism, the ground should have been flat, but this brick is actually a virtual stand, this person accidentally stepped on it, and the stone wall fell down immediately, I saw that he didn't even have time to react, and he was stoned to death here." ”
I nodded, and looked at Deyang Ram, both of whom felt a chill in each other, this secret passage seemed to be full of mechanisms.
"Let's go." I stood up and went back the way I came, "The right side is not passable, so I can only go to the left fork again." ”
Walking on the brick road on the left, a few of us were also extra cautious, although the road under our feet, the group of people in Yunnan should have walked before, but there was no guarantee that there were any mechanisms that were not triggered by them.
Especially on both sides of the brick road, you can still see some traces of the remnants of the mechanism from time to time, and even, there is even a half-stone wall stuck in the air.
I don't know if it's in disrepair, or if the group in Yunxian has used some means, the stone wall has not completely fallen, leaving a gap more than half a person high.
We reached the end of the brick road and a stone door appeared in front of us.
The stone door had been pushed open, and the black hole behind the door was like the wide open mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour everything that entered its mouth.
But we didn't hesitate and walked straight in.
As soon as we entered the stone gate, a slightly strong smell of blood suddenly penetrated into our noses, and all of us hurriedly raised our flashlights to show the situation behind the stone gate one by one.
The light circles around and quickly gathers the situation behind the door into a complete outline, which is reflected in our eyes.
It was a small stone chamber, empty of nothing, and facing us was a swarthy entrance.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.
This is because, the unusual sight, on either side of the entrance we came into.
On both sides of the entrance, one on the left and one on the right, there is a nail board deeply rooted in the wall, and the wall is three inches deeper. In the middle of the nail board and the wall, a corpse was nailed to the wall on either side, and countless sharp spikes pierced their bodies and pierced into the wall.
The corpse hung in the air, scarlet blood cascading down the surface of the feet and on the ground, pooling into a large pool of blood.
The smell of blood came from these two corpses.
Deyang Ram gasped for a long time before he slowly spit it out, "It's disgusting." ”
"In ancient tombs, there were often vajra walls and other means to prevent tomb robbers, but I really didn't expect that there were so many traps in this secret passage."
"Don't forget, this secret passage was originally to lead to the tomb at the bottom of the lake." Ciwang reminded.
"That's right, it's just that there are so many mechanisms here, and the mechanisms in the tomb at the bottom of the lake are even more dangerous."
In fact, when it comes to the mechanisms in the tombs, people who have watched a lot of TV often think that it is easy to set them up. In fact, it may be easy to set up some mechanisms on the ground, but don't forget that these large ancient tombs, either underground or in the thick mountains, require ten times or even dozens of times the amount of work required to set up a mechanism on the ground.
In particular, the sophistication of this mechanism, after 2,000 years, can still be 100% effective, and so many people can be killed with ease.
Even I was completely blown away for a moment.
Moreover, the mechanism is just a small appetizer.
The most dangerous things in the tomb, as well as the equally dangerous Rakshasa blood corpse, are still waiting for us on the road ahead.
We didn't stay long in the empty stone room, leaving the two bodies nailed to the wall and walking into the stone door opposite.
Surprisingly, behind the stone door turned out to be a coffin, a copper coffin was placed in the middle position, and the coffin lid had been moved down and leaned on the coffin.
"This is an ancient tomb." Ciwang gasped.
"I'm afraid that this secret passage was originally built using the structure of the ancient tomb, but this tomb should have been empty a long time ago." I didn't rush to check the situation inside the coffin, but first looked at the situation in the coffin.
The whole chamber is not large, and it is paved with long boulders on all sides, and the gaps between the stones are filled with dark gray clay to increase the strength of the entire wall.
This kind of clay is fired with a special technique, and after thousands of years, it has become one with the boulder, and if the tomb robber lays a hole vertically from the top and hits the perimeter of the coffin, I am afraid that he may not be able to penetrate this coffin.
And the tomb robbers who come in through the front tomb will naturally be ruthlessly destroyed by the authorities, just like the group in front.
"It's just a fake tomb with such ample means of prevention." Deyang Ram was a little worried.
"It's just a pity that no matter how strong the tomb is, it can't escape the greed of human nature after all." I sighed.
The coffin was empty, and there was nothing, so I withdrew my gaze and came to the coffin, the lid of which had been opened. Picking up the flashlight and shining it inside, the first thing that caught my eye was a white skeleton that had been scattered to the ground. As I thought, I found nothing but the bones.
"The people of Heiyun Village worship their ancestors very much, and a coffin is placed here in order to confuse the intruder, and as for the burial goods in the coffin, they have long been taken away."
"And who's lying here?"
"I don't know which short-lived intruder it is, maybe it's an ancestor of his old Yun family."
Now the only question is, this coffin is already the end of the road, so where exactly is the road we are looking for? Over the next few days, we searched the entire burial chamber, including the empty coffin, but found nothing.
Uncle Ciwang even lay on the floor tiles of the tomb and touched every brick.
Half an hour later, we surrounded the edge of the empty coffin, occasionally scanning the surrounding tomb wall with a flashlight, and had no idea where the real tomb was.
"Lin Kun, do you say that Yunnan will not enter from here, otherwise there should be an entrance, if it really doesn't work, let's go out to the mountains and go around, maybe we can find clues."
"No, it won't." I leaned on the coffin, took out the cigarette case, took one in my mouth, and handed another one to Uncle Ciwang.
Uncle Ciwang took the cigarette and continued, "Tell me what you think. ”
My brows furrowed deeply in the smoke, and I shook my head and said: "The tomb at the bottom of the lake is at the bottom of the lake, like the kind of ancient tomb hidden deep in the bottom of the lake, even if you know the location of the main tomb chamber accurately, you can't get into it by stealing the hole, and it is impossible to break through the sealing layer at the bottom of the lake." ”
"Unless they're the ones who have the means to get into the tomb?" I had an idea, but then shook my head and dismissed the possibility.
The ancestral tomb of Heiyunzhai has a history of more than 2,000 years, even if the craftsmen who participated in the construction at that time did not die and left documents about the tomb privately, how could it be preserved after so many years.
Perhaps it is the long period of thousands of years that has caused corresponding changes in the nearby topography and landforms, exposing the outer buildings of the ancient tombs.
Just like the hole we last came out of the thousand-year-old corpse tomb, this is the case, it didn't exist two thousand years ago, and the mezzanine was just an ordinary mountain wall.
There are one and two, and perhaps somewhere else, there is an entrance to the tomb at the bottom of the lake, but we don't know it yet.
But with just a few of us, it is difficult to find a second entrance in the vast mountainous area.
Uncle Ciwang took a few puffs of cigarette fiercely, threw the cigarette butt away, and said, "Lin Kun, I still don't believe it, the tomb is so big, and I can't find the mechanism." ”
After saying this, he raised his flashlight again, this time instead of lying on the ground to study the floor tiles, but one by one, he checked the green bricks on the wall. After taking a closer look at one wall, he didn't gain anything, but Ciwang was not discouraged and went to another wall to continue searching.
I looked at it for a while, and seeing that he had found nothing, I turned around and groped again for the sarcophagus in the middle of the burial chamber. The last passage exit was found under the jade coffin of the ancient corpse, so I touched the inside and out of the coffin again, hoping to have the same good luck.
