Chapter 146: The Main Tomb Behind the Cave

Lu Nianqi's gecko claws can not only climb the earth wall, but also walk on the ground on the stone wall.

The tip of the gecko's claw is as sharp as an eagle's hook, and as long as it hooks on the stone wall, it can pull a thousand pounds.

With the help of gecko claws, Lu Nianqi quickly climbed towards the top of the stone wall, and in just a few moments, he had already climbed to the center of the waterfall.

He leaned his body close to the stone wall, looked sideways at the back of the waterfall, and after a while he looked down at the few of us and shouted, "There is indeed a dark hole behind this waterfall, I will enter it now, and if there is no problem, I will throw the rope down for you!" ”

After Lu Nianqi finished speaking, he climbed horizontally towards the back of the waterfall, and soon his figure disappeared behind the waterfall and was never seen again.

After seeing Lu Nianqi enter the dark cave behind the waterfall, Ning Nanxi looked at Su Dingqin, and said with a worried face: "Brother Su, do you say that there will be danger hidden in this dark cave, if Ni Long'er Xiang Liang is really injured here, maybe there will be dangerous things inside, Brother Lu doesn't know the law, what if something happens?" ”

At this time, Su Dingqin's face was solemn, but in order not to worry Ning Nanxi, he still showed a relaxed expression, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly: "Don't worry, Brother Lu is a leader in the tomb robbery industry, and he has stolen thousands of tombs, and the danger is self-evident, since he can retreat with his whole body, it means that he has extraordinary skills, so let's wait here with peace of mind, I think Brother Lu will definitely be safe." ”

Ning Nanxi didn't ask any more questions after listening to Su Dingqin's words, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the waterfall.

After about two or three minutes, the figure of the waterfall flickered, and after a while, a rope was thrown down from the back of the waterfall, and then Lu Nianqi's voice came from the ear: "The dark hole behind the waterfall is indeed where the main tomb is located, and now the rope has been thrown, you quickly climb up along the rope, remember to be careful when climbing, the stone wall is wet by the water, remember to step on it and then climb up!" ”

Hearing this, Su Dingqin stepped forward and stretched out his hand to catch the rope, he inserted the flashlight and Tiangang splitting fan into his waist, then turned his head to look at the three of us, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go up first, Brother Chen and Miss Ning will follow me, and after Nanxiao Palace, you should be careful, and you must hold on to the rope." ”

Seeing the three of us nodding, Su Dingqin grabbed the rope with both hands and climbed towards the top of the waterfall, Su Dingqin's body was sensitive, coupled with his kung fu, it only took more than a minute to drill into the dark hole, and then I and Ning Nanxi and Shen Nanxiao also climbed up along the rope one after another.

Passing through the waterfall and entering the dark hole, the view becomes wider, and the interior scene is even more amazing to several of us.

Behind the waterfall is also a stone chamber, but the scale of this stone chamber is not large, only about two or three hundred square meters.

There are stone walls all around, there are no secret doors and dark rooms, and stone pits are carved out of each stone wall.

The stone pit is about two meters away from the ground, and there are colorful glazed cups inside, and the firelight in the glazed cups shines brightly as day.

In the center of the stone chamber was a blood-red coffin, which had now been opened and the lid scattered on the ground.

Through observation, it can be seen that this blood-red coffin is not made of wood or stone, but seems to be carved from a whole piece of jade, which looks very warm.

Although there is no carved pattern on the coffin, there is a flow of red light in the coffin, just like the blood vessels in the human body.

In addition to the red jade coffin in the stone room, there is also a bronze incense burner in front of the coffin, which is covered with a furnace lid, wearing rings on both sides, and the incense burner is carved with a pattern of divine beasts.

"Brother Lu, what's the matter with the colorful glass lamp burning on this stone wall, could it be that this is the legendary ever-bright lamp?" Ning Nanxi looked at Lu Nianqi and asked.

"That's right, this is indeed an everlasting lamp, it is rumored that the everlasting lamp can burn for thousands of years, it is made of corpse oil, the number is scarce in the world, I have robbed nearly a thousand tombs, but there are very few who can afford to use the everlasting lamp, almost one hand can be counted, so this tomb owner is definitely not simple." Lu Nianqi said in a deep voice.

According to Lu Nianqi, the ever-bright lamp is one of the ancient lamps, and most of the lamps used by ordinary people are lamp oil or candles, like the ever-bright lamp, even if the dignitaries are not qualified to use it.

It's not that it's expensive, it's that the materials are extremely difficult to obtain.

There are three ingredients needed to make the lantern, which are corpse oil, agave, and quibor.

Among them, corpse oil is the grease contained in the corpse, this kind of grease will not only not emit smoke after burning, but also exude a faint fragrance, and what is more commendable is that the loss of corpse oil is very low, generally speaking, a corpse oil can burn for thousands of years.

Corpse oil is difficult to obtain and extremely cumbersome to make, so it is necessary to select a pregnant woman who dies within seven hours as a raw material.

After hanging it, strip it naked, then put a pine branch in the brazier, and after lighting the pine branch, the flame of the pine branch will use the flame of the pine branch to burn the deceased's chin, and the liquid that flows out after the water on the deceased's chin evaporates is corpse oil.

The corpse oil is crystal clear and has a faint fragrance, and it is rumored that Lu Pheasant, the wife of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born with a strange smell.

This smell can be smelled from dozens of meters away, so after Lu Pheasant became the queen, he searched for the strange fragrance of the world and wanted to cover up the strange smell on his body with the help of the fragrance.

But looking for the strange fragrance all over the world still can't cover the strange smell on her body, just when she was disheartened, a man entered the palace to offer treasure, and offered a bottle of crystal clear liquid to Lu Pheasant, saying that this spice is difficult to find in the world, as long as it is applied to the place where the strange smell is emitted, it can be covered.

Lu Pheasant was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly smeared this thing on his body.

Sure enough, after Lu Pheasant applied this liquid, all the unpleasant smell on her body was covered, she saw that this thing was very useful and asked the man what kind of spice this was, she had searched the world to find strange fragrances, but they couldn't cover the smell on her body, so she was very curious about this thing.

The man didn't hide it, and directly said that this thing was the grease flowing from the corpse, also known as corpse oil, although the smell of corpse oil was very light, but it could cover the strong smell.

Although Lu Pheasant is the woman behind Liu Bang, she is more decisive than Liu Bang, otherwise she would not have killed Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Therefore, when she heard that it was corpse oil, she did not get afraid, but rewarded the man with a lot of gold and silver treasures.

In the man's mouth, Lu Pheasant learned about the refining method of corpse oil, so he ordered his subordinates to find the corpse of a pregnant woman who had just died, and use them to refine corpse oil.

However, both pregnant and just died, the conditions were so harsh that the whole city searched for several days but did not find a single person.

Seeing that the corpse oil was about to run out, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and finally she ordered her subordinates to slaughter pregnant women in order to refine the corpse oil.

According to the wild history, during the reign of LΓΌ Pheasant, thousands of pregnant women were killed in the city, resulting in the birth rate of babies at that time was far lower than the mortality rate, which is enough to see LΓΌ Pheasant's unscrupulous viciousness before achieving his goal.

In addition to the main ingredient for making the lantern, corpse oil, agave and quecypress oil are required, a rare plant that can cause fires but is extremely difficult to extinguish.

When using it, the agave is first exposed to the scorching sun, and when all the water inside the agave evaporates, the leaves will turn from dark green to dark yellow.

After that, the dried agave is cut into long strips with a sharp knife, and the tequila is kneaded into a thin rope by twisting, and then soaked in corpse oil.

After 7749 days, the tequila is completely soaked in corpse oil, at which point it will continue to illuminate if it is lit again.

As for the three materials, the queir oil is fired from the cypress tree, and when used, the queir oil and the corpse oil want to be fused, so that the burning rate can be greatly increased, these three things are very precious, and it is extremely difficult to obtain, so since ancient times, there are very few mausoleums that use the ever-bright lantern, and some tomb robbers have never seen the appearance of the ever-bright lamp with all their life's efforts.

"Brother Lu, was this red jade coffin open when you entered the dark cave?" Shen Nanxiao looked at Lu Nianqi and asked in a deep voice.

Lu Nianqi nodded when he heard this, and said that the scene in the stone chamber was like this when he came, he had never touched anything, and he had observed the scene in the jade coffin just now, the interior was empty, there was nothing.

Hearing this, a few of us walked quickly in the direction of the red jade coffin, walked to the jade coffin and looked down, the inside of the coffin was indeed empty, and there was nothing left, which is strange, how could this good coffin be opened, where did the corpse inside go, could it be that the corpse in this coffin had left the tomb?

"Is the coffin empty? Could it be that the corpses inside had already been released to Xiang Liang? Ning Nanxi asked in surprise.

"Impossible, if the corpse inside was released to Xiang Liang, then at least ten years ago, if this is the case, the rivers and lakes would have been in chaos a long time ago, how could it have been calm, and according to our miscellaneous affairs department, no particularly major supernatural incidents have been found throughout the country over the years, so I suspect that the escape of the tomb owner in this coffin should have nothing to do with Xiang Liang." Shen Nanxiao analyzed.

"Only Xiang Liang has been here for so many years, who else but him has been here?" Ning Nanxi asked.

Shen Nanxiao did not answer Ning Nanxi's question, and then Lu Nianqi said in a deep voice: "Although from the clues, only Xiang Liang has been here for so many years, but we don't have enough evidence to prove that he is indeed the only one who has come, since we can follow the clues to come here, then why can't others, according to my opinion, Brother Shen's guess has some truth, if the tomb owner was really released by Mu Long'er to Liang, then the world has long been in chaos, and it is impossible to lie dormant for more than ten years, So I concluded that there were other people here between us and Xiang Liang! ”

"Anyone else? Who the hell is it? Ning Nanxi asked.

"I don't know this, generally speaking, there are many ways to determine the age of the mausoleum, in addition to the style of the burial objects, it can also be judged by the coffin shape carving patterns or murals, but the coffin does not have any carving patterns, there are no murals around, and there are no burial objects in the stone room, which makes it impossible to determine the identity of the tomb owner, and I think this place is not a mausoleum, or that it is not built to bury people!" Lu Nianqi cut the railway.

Hearing this, several of us were shocked, Shen Nanxiao took the lead in coming back to his senses and looked at Lu Nianqi and asked, "It's not for burying people, what else can it be for, and if this is not a mausoleum, then why is there a coffin?" ”

"I can't say for sure, but judging by my professional intuition, this place is definitely not as simple as burying people, there must be other uses!" Lu Nianqi said in a deep voice.
