Chapter 85: Life and Death

In the exclamation, the two clouds of black smoke finally merged into one. The imaginary screams didn't happen, but the rumbling roar continued.

At this time, only those who had climbed to the wall of the pit found that the two clouds of black smoke were actually two rows of balls with a diameter of one person high. They combed inward from both sides of the pit like two combs, miraculously staggering in the middle, without colliding with each other.

When the two clouds of black smoke went to both sides, everyone came back to their senses. After eagerly scanning the people on the wall, he found that Fan Lao and the Great Sage were missing, as well as Ling Yunfeng.

Pepper was already red-eyed by this time, and jumped into the pit full of smoke and dust in desperation.

When the smoke and dust slowly became thin, everyone saw that the pit full of charred corpses had been crushed into a piece of powder, leaving only black soil stalks like field stalks, and there was no object still standing.

Pepper ran more and more urgently, and even ran to Fan Lao's location just now with a crying voice. At the sound of screaming, she began to dig frantically with her hands, and lifted up the smoke and dust that had so hard to fall.

The other soldiers also jumped into the pit at this time, joining the search Zheng Just as Chili was about to go crazy, a voice came from behind.

"Ahem, stop dusting. Those are corpses!"

Chili was pleasantly surprised to look for prestige, and saw that it was not Ling Yunfeng standing in the corner of the wall next to the pit, who else could there be?

Before Ling Yunfeng could explain anything, the pepper had already pounced, and his fist was thrashed again.

Then, everyone saw that there was another cloud of black smoke around Ling Yunfeng, and the beating became dust.

"You Nizi, don't you dust off these ashes for me!"

The voice came from behind Ling Yunfeng, looking for prestige, it was Fan Lao and the Great Sage.

It turned out that after Fan Lao fell, Ling Yunfeng had already rushed over. With the blessing of ice consumption in his body, his speed was already faster than others. But when he pulled up Fan Lao and the Great Sage, those round balls also came closer.

Fortunately, on the road to no end, Ling Yunfeng had already discovered that there was a depression in the corner of the wall on the side of the pit. At this time, he didn't care if he was injured or not, he forcibly transported the power of the ice core in the dantian, and threw the two big living people into the depression like a shot put.

At this time, the ball had already been crushed in front of him, and Ling Yunfeng didn't dare to shake the one-person-high ball even if he had an ice core. Fortunately, these balls came from both sides, Ling Yunfeng only needed to find the direction in which the balls rolled, jumped up and tapped with his toes, and used the force of the balls to pop himself out.

From throwing Fan Lao and them, to Ling Yunfeng popping up by himself, it was just a blink of an eye. Even Ling Yunfeng fell to the depression before Fan Lao, so he twisted his waist and turned around while catching the two of them, and protected the two of them in the depression.

And those balls were affected by the arc, it was impossible to crush the ground completely, and the depression provided a refuge for the three of them. This also explains why there are gray stems at the bottom of the pit.

Just as everyone was sighing at the round balls just now, the rumbling roar came from far and near, with a more obvious black smoke towards everyone.

At this time, everyone stopped laughing and hurriedly went up to the pit wall. When everyone climbed the pit wall, they were in the mood to look back.

The balls didn't roll as fast as they did the last time, and then they rolled back and forth a few times until they stopped in the pit. Only then did the crowd see that they were all made of polished stone, and the surface was as smooth as modern turning. If it is purely hand-polished, then for a mechanism that can kill Rao, the ancients are too bothered!

Fortunately, no one was injured, and fortunately, they were all wearing gas masks to protect against such a large amount of smoke. Otherwise, even if you don't get crushed to death by the stone ball, you will choke to death by the powder of the corpse.

It's just that at this time, the people in the gas masks are also uncomfortable, because of the dust, so that the breathing is not smooth. But in this kind of place, no one dares to take off their masks, so they can only endure it.

Everyone continued to move forward, but the Great Sage looked at Ling Yunfeng's gaze a little strangely. Because of the scene at the bottom of the pit, the people who climbed out of the pit did not see it clearly. Even Fan Lao, who was in the pit, was also dizzy, he only felt that he had fallen, and then found himself in the pit in the corner of the wall. But as a special forces, the Great Sage is different, he can clearly feel what is happening. For this reason, he had a sense of admiration for himself, the captain, the military advisor in the eyes of everyone.

Not far ahead, a half-open stone gate appeared in front of Zhong Rao's eyes. The pattern and text on the stone door were a little blurry, and when I got closer, I realized that the doors had been damaged, and both doors were blue-gray.

"This ...... This is Qin Brick!" Fan Lao's exclamation had already attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that the pattern on the Qin brick gate was simple, and there was a Qin seal on it. Fan Lao had already taken out a magnifying glass and pounced on it to take a closer look. Teacher Yuan became the assistant who held the lamp and followed Fan Lao's side closely.

As the so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles, although the bricks of the Qin Dynasty are not as complicated as the brick carvings after the Song Dynasty, they can be fired such exquisite bricks and stones more than 2,000 years ago, which also reflects the technical level of the curtain, not to mention the door that is more than one person high.

You should know that the larger the brick, the more difficult it is to fire, and it is common for it to deform, blister, and even burst if the temperature is not well controlled. Even in modern times, it is not easy to burn such a large brick, and under the use of various modern equipment, it is necessary to start from batching, molding, resting, low-temperature baking, high-temperature calcination, cooling, ...... and so on to complete the multiple work sequences, and the rejection rate during the period is also quite high.

Of course, Qin bricks are different from modern standard bricks, and its large shape is different according to the different positions used, and there are more abduction bricks (curved ruler bricks) used at the corners, moisture-proof hollow bricks, long bricks, flute bricks (pentagonal), square bricks, etc.

The patterns and characters on the bricks are printed when the mold is made, which is different from the carving on the bricks in later generations. Due to the addition of a large amount of lead and tin to the bricks, the temperature control is not good during the sintering process, and the shape or burst will occur. Of course, the finished product is also quite powerful, there is a saying to describe Qin bricks, that is, "knock on the sound, break without holes".

"This gate was violently destroyed. While everyone was still immersed in the beauty of those Qin bricks, Black Eagle had already walked to the door.

Everyone looked up, and the left side of the two brick doors was still closed, and they tried to push the line and not move. The one on the right has traces of blasting at the latch in addition to the marks of the axe and chisel.

"This should be caused by a plastic bomb, it seems that there are experts among the people who went in before. Erhuzi said in a very serious tone. This is very different from his usual stunned appearance, perhaps this is what professionals look like when dealing with professional problems.

"Look, are these two words 'life and death'?" Pepper asked, pointing to two of the two lines on the door.

"Well, that's right. This is 'life and death' written in Li. Fan Lao looked up, and after explaining, he went to look at the other words.

The reason why these two characters are recognized by chili peppers is because the writing style of Lishu is very similar to italics.

"Life and death, life, death...... Door, is this a door of life and death?" Pepper was still muttering those two words, and gradually seemed to have an answer.
