Chapter 15: The Tomb is Forested and Ghostly (2)
Xiao Pepper was about to ask, and when he saw that Ling Yunfeng had already walked towards the door, he understood what Ling Yunfeng was talking about, and he hurriedly chased after him.
Ever since they knew that it was an ancient tomb, they never approached the door, always thinking that there would be something inside the door. At the same time, several of them were soldiers, and although they had been educated in materialism, they were somewhat reluctant to touch the door, both from a legal point of view and from an emotional point of view. It's just that at this time, you can't just wait for others to save you, you have to do something, and it would be better if you could get out of this place by yourself.
Ling Yunfeng and Xiao Chili walked closer, only to find that the door was very exquisite. There is a high stone threshold below, and although the color has fallen off, you can still see the bright red color that used to be. On either side of the door are two thick imitation log frames, made of the same stone as the threshold. The door leaves are the same, they are made of the same as the ancient wooden doors, but here they are all stone. Since the patent leather has fallen off, it looks gray from a distance.
The most brilliant thing is the lintel. If it's wooden, it's not surprising. After all, carving on wood is not a difficult task. But this lintel is actually carved from blue bricks, whether it is the cornice, the rafters, or the hollow carving on it, it is extremely exquisite. I have to sigh that while the ancients were skilled, I also mourn for the loss of those inheritances for modern people.
Just as Ling Yunfeng was still sighing, Xiao Pepper had already tried to kick the door, and then immediately retracted. Ling Yunfeng also flashed to the side. The door moved slightly, but a crack was exposed. Apparently the door is not sealed, but can be accessed.
From the deep dark door wafted out of the crack of the stale atmosphere, making people feel an indescribable feeling of suffocation. Ling Yunfeng and Little Pepper hurriedly retreated, wondering if the air inside had already produced a toxic chemical reaction.
After a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, Ling Yunfeng had the courage to open half of the door. Then immediately retreat, back to the bottom of the hole, which can be diluted even with poisonous gas or something.
After a while, they couldn't feel the suffocation anymore, and Ling Yunfeng and Xiao Pepper couldn't help but decide to go in and have a look. Because of Qi Tian's injury, he was asked to wait in this place. Qi Tian was still silent, if he couldn't hear his breathing, he would think it was a dead man.
Ling Yunfeng held the flashlight in front, and Xiao Pepper held the paratrooper knife behind, and slowly approached the open half door. After all, I heard that the ancient tomb was full of traps, so the two of them were also very careful.
"Wait, I'll go with you. ”
As soon as the two of them reached the door, they were startled by the sudden sound.
"Great Sage, don't be scary, okay? I asked you just now, but you didn't speak. Now I suddenly said I want to go, but your legs are also ......" Xiao Pepper said to Qi Tian very unhappily, but Ling Yunfeng stopped talking with his hand.
"Okay, I'll carry you. Ling Yunfeng just put down this sentence, and went over and carefully recited Qi Tian. Because he was afraid of touching his injured leg, Ling Yunfeng had to lean around Qi Tian's side.
Qi Tian didn't speak again, but was very cooperative on Ling Yunfeng's back. But Ling Yunfeng felt a large drop of hot stuff drip onto his shoulder, sliding down his skin.
Ling Yunfeng understood that this might be Qi Tian's last mission, and it might also be the last time in his military career to walk side by side with his comrades. Veterans don't die, they just wither......
Although carrying a person on his back, Ling Yunfeng didn't feel too tired. I felt this way from the moment I fell into this ancient tomb, as if my strength had recovered all at once, and even the fatigue of not sleeping well was swept away.
The three of them slowly stepped over the high threshold, which was a corridor that looked like a cloister in a courtyard, with red pillars every few meters. There are murals painted between the pillars, but a lot of them are mottled and peeled off, and you can vaguely see that it is the scene of the inner courtyard.
I saw a woman in ancient costumes standing in the courtyard, and her clothes were different from those of the Central Plains. She just looked up at the sky, not knowing what she was looking at. On the side, there are several ladies with flower baskets shuttling between the flowers, and a few butterflies dancing on it, lifelike.
Walking through the corridor, Ling Yunfeng suddenly felt immersive, as if he was a guest invited by the owner, and inadvertently stepped into the back garden and saw the beautiful picture of the young lady and the maid playing. And the young lady seemed to sense his presence, raised her head and turned to look at him, and smiled, not as shy and shy as a Han woman.
"I really want to know who the owner of such a gorgeous tomb is?" Xiao Pepper's words instantly woke up Ling Yunfeng. It made him even more creepy, because he could clearly see the woman turn her head and smile at him.
But when Ling Yunfeng was awakened, his eyes hurt when he rubbed them, but the woman on the mural was still the same, just looking up at the sky.
Could it be that he was dazzled, or was he hallucinating? Ling Yunfeng only felt very strange, but seeing that Xiao Pepper still didn't notice this, he had to continue walking forward. Just at the moment when the flashlight swept and the halo was about to leave the woman, the corners of the woman's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a yin smile.
Qi Tian on his back had been silent, but at this time, he put his head to Ling Yunfeng's ear and whispered: "I think there is something strange here, so be careful." ”
"Hmm. "Ling Yunfeng knew that the sniper's sense was very keen, so what happened just now was by no means dazzling. Although Ling Yunfeng didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, he also believed that everything happened for a reason.
The road is paved with green bricks, and several people have the feeling of being on the top. It also means getting closer to the ground as you go, so keep going anyway.
Next, the three of them stopped looking at the murals on both sides, but walked along the corridor with their heads bowed. Of course, a feeling of being watched always lingers. As if the three of them were models on the catwalk, the ten minutes away made the three of them sweat like rain.
At the end of the corridor was another half-hidden stone door, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't care to admire the carvings on the door frame, so they pushed the door in, as if this was the only way to get rid of the feeling of being watched.
Entering the tomb, Ling Yunfeng quickly glanced around with a flashlight. This is a larger burial chamber than before, the difference is that the burial chamber they fell from before is a circular dome, while this larger one is octahedral, and even the dome is divided into eight sides. And every wall is painted with more intricate murals. With the previous lesson, several people did not dare to look at the contents of the mural again. So it's just a sweep.
In addition to the stone gate where the three of them just entered, there are three stone gates on the left and right and in front of them, and this place is like an intersection. The burial chamber was at least twenty square meters, and the closest to the three was a large stone bed, for he did have the size of a double bed. It's just that there's nothing on the stone bed.
The burial chamber was also empty, and most of the things that could be found were broken wood, broken pottery, and the like. The others had to wonder if the hole was a thief, but how did they get out?
There are no grave robbers, no grave owners, and it is certain that there must have been some other exit. The reason why we are empty must also be the work of tomb robbers.
Although the three of them entered this tomb by mistake, the curiosity of the young man was not at all. Just don't take what is here, look at what you always think. So, the three of them walked around the stone bed and walked towards the stone gate on the left.
Legend has it that the ancient tomb was full of traps and traps, but nothing happened to them along the way. Of course, the mural is a different matter, and it may be a real eye-catcher. As a result, the vigilance of several people slowly relaxed.
Entering the burial chamber on the left, the inside is a circular structure like the first burial chamber. The walls were still painted with murals, but the first thing Ling Yunfeng noticed was that there were weapons such as knives and guns scattered on the ground. It's just that the metal parts of those weapons have long been rusted into an iron lump, and the wooden weapon racks and gun barrels have long been brittle and unusable, and they will shatter when touched.
Ling Yunfeng put Qi Tian in the corner of the wall, moved his hands and feet, and picked up with Xiao Pepper to see if there was anything that could be used, after all, in this jungle tomb, it was still the most important thing to be alive.
"What kind of official do you say the owner of this tomb is? Look at this weapon, it should be a military general, right? I just didn't see the coffin, or I can still look at the remains, do you say it's not a flying tiger?" Xiao Pepper picked up a rusty waist knife and kept scratching on the ground. It didn't take a few strokes for the knife to break into several knots.
"You don't see the man in the mural who seems to be dancing a sword, there are a lot of people watching. How can there be a great general who dances a sword in front of him?" Hearing Qi Tian's words, Ling Yunfeng also looked up at the characters in the mural. Dressed in a samurai suit, although he is not burly, he is also majestic with a sword. Several of the drawings are sword poses with different movements. And there are a lot of people around who are clapping their hands.
"What's wrong with the sword dance? The general can't dance the sword? The one who can accompany the burial weapons in the tomb must be the general. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Somehow, Pepper seems to have a bad feeling for Qi Tian all the time.
This made Ling Yunfeng have to smile bitterly at Qi Tian, of course, Qi Tian wouldn't really care about this. He just said to Ling Yunfeng: "Looking at the costumes of the people in the murals, they shouldn't be Han Chinese. Most of the ethnic minorities in the north are nomadic people, so those who have weapons are not necessarily military generals. ”
"Hmph! The old lady said that it was a military general, and when she went to those doors in a while, she might see the coffin. When someone talks nonsense, it will make the owner stand up angrily...... "Although Pepper is talking angrily, there is always a kind of playful look like a girl, which makes people unable to get angry."
Just when Xiao Pepper and Qi Tian were arguing, Ling Yunfeng saw that the figure of the sword dance was alive again, and the sword shadow flew in front of him, and each sword swing came like a wave of qi with layers, making Ling Yunfeng couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Pepper hurriedly held Ling Yunfeng's back, and couldn't care about arguing with Qi Tian anymore.
"It's nothing, I just think these murals are weird, and it's better not to see them or try not to see them. Ling Yunfeng hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had just experienced a big exercise.
Several people found nothing, Ling Yunfeng still carried Qi Tian on his back, returned to the large tomb in the middle, and walked around the stone bed to the stone gate on the right. Strange to say, after not taking a few steps, Ling Yunfeng felt that he was full of strength again. Even Qi Tian on his back felt a lot lighter.
In the stone door, it is different from the previous tombs, but a boxy. There were several large bookshelves on the three walls, but the shelves had long since collapsed, and the floor was littered with yellowed silk and leaf-like books. At the slightest touch, those books will turn to dust.
This also left a few people with nowhere to stay, and if there were professional archaeologists, they would definitely be very happy to get these books. Although it has clearly been revisited and badly damaged. It's like someone rudely came looking for something.
It must have been done by those tomb robbers, and many other ancient cultural relics have been destroyed since then. Because they will only pay attention to the treasures that can be sold for money, and will not protect these ancient cultural books with words.
It's just that Ling Yunfeng is a little strange, usually when this kind of thing happens, Xiao Pepper has already started to scold the tomb robbers, why is there no voice now?
Ling Yunfeng turned his head to look, only to see Xiao Pepper standing by the door with a pale face, and his body was still trembling a little. From time to time, his eyes still glanced at the burial chamber outside.
Ling Yunfeng sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Sister Chili?"
"Didn't you notice anything more on the stone bed when you came here?" Pepper's voice trembled a little.
Before they finished speaking, the three of them had their hairs standing on end, and their scalps were numb. I even felt a gust of wind blowing on my back.
"No, isn't it? Are you sure you're right?" Ling Yunfeng also felt that he was starting to stutter when he spoke. Although the mural was very strange, Ling Yunfeng didn't feel any malice. But if something does appear out of nowhere, it's hard to say.
Take a few deep breaths and try to calm your emotions down. Several people looked at each other, pretending to be casual, and walked towards the tomb in the middle. Secretly, Xiao Chili had already held the paratrooper knife in his hand, and Ling Yunfeng and Qi Tian were also quietly on guard.
Several people slowly entered the tomb, the flashlight swept through the room, and everyone focused on the stone bed. The stone bed was still empty, nothing.
Could it be that Little Pepper is also dazzled, or is she hallucinating like herself?Ling Yunfeng muttered a little, but still approached the stone bed. Let's see if we can find any clues.
When I got closer, I found that the stone bed was not stone, but made of five layers of bricks, and a layer of wooden planks on top of it. Traces of broken four corners. Ling Yunfeng speculated that this should be something like a shelf, just like the mosquito nets erected by ordinary people. It's just that now it's bare and nothing, and it looks like a stone platform from a distance.
Just as Ling Yunfeng was observing the brick bed, Xiao Pepper also stood closer. But Qi Tian whispered in Ling Yunfeng's ear: "Twelve o'clock." ”
