The brick path is in the shape of an arch, about two meters high and four meters wide. There was originally a huge stone blocking the door, but now the boulder has been broken into pieces and fell into pieces on the brick path.
around.
"Since we all see it this way, let's go this way."
"good!"
We didn't stop at the door and walked straight in.
Walking into the brick passage, the air carried a musty smell, but this was really good news, because it meant that the hole was opened only recently, and the air had not even had time to circulate.
The brick road was not very long. After about a few dozen meters, we came to a fork in the road that was separated horizontally at 90 degrees. We took a flashlight and looked at it. Both ends disappeared into the darkness and we couldn't see where they were leading.
"Lin Kun, which way should we go?" Deyang Ram turned to ask me.
I glanced at the forked roads on both sides, hesitated, and said: "I don't know which direction it is, but according to Yun Ding'e's words, all places in the forbidden area cannot be judged according to ordinary thinking. Dagushan is on the left
side, then we might as well go to the right."
"This is too hasty." Deyang Ram said rationally.
"In that case, let's toss a coin."
"Uh..." Uncle Ciwang was speechless after hearing this.
After saying that, I took out a coin and said with a smile: "Do you want words or heads? Words are on the left and heads are on the right."
Seeing this, Deyang Ram felt a little helpless and casually chose one side: "Then just use the word."
"Okay, it's a 50% probability anyway, it's okay if you're wrong, just take a few more steps." I flipped a coin casually, put it on the back of my hand, opened it, and saw that it was a human head.
Needless to say, I took the lead and walked to the right fork.
We didn't go far when we were blocked by a stone wall, and what was under the stone wall made us look at each other in shock, and we were all a little frightened for a moment.
I took a flashlight and scanned the bottom of the stone wall, and what I saw were five or six white bones. Tsewang's throat twitched, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face looking a little ugly.
"These people must have been dead for hundreds of years," Uncle Ciwang said.
"Yeah, but look over there." I pointed to the bones and saw a corpse lying under the stone wall. It was pressed to its waist by the wall weighing more than a thousand kilograms, and its face was
His expression was completely frozen in the expression of extreme fear before death, and the fragments of internal organs and scarlet blood sprayed all over the surrounding area.
"Looking at his clothes and the degree of decomposition of the body, he must have just died. He is probably from Yunnan." I observed the dead body.
The degree of decomposition of the body was not very serious. It was estimated that the time of death was not long ago. The smell of moldy air in the tomb passage somewhat covered up the smell, so we only noticed the body as we walked closer.
"Lin Kun's judgment is correct." Uncle Ciwang nodded, "Yunxinan has indeed taken this path."
I got close to the stone wall and pushed tentatively. The stone wall didn't move at all. I took a closer look around the body and found that on the lower left side of the body, blood had accumulated here to form a small hole about the size of a drawer.
Blood pool.
"You see there is a depression here, does it look like a mechanism that triggers the stone wall to fall?"
After hearing this, Deyang Ram came to me with his nose covered. He did not dare to look at the head of the dead body so close. He only stared at the small blood pool, nodded and said: "This is the trigger point of the mechanism. The ground was originally
It should be flat, but this brick is actually a hollow frame. This person accidentally stepped on it and the stone wall immediately fell down. I think he didn't even have time to react, and he was smashed to death here."
I nodded, and Deyang Ram looked at each other, and both of us felt a chill. This secret passage seemed to be full of traps.
"Let's go." I stood up and returned the same way. "The right side is blocked, so I can only go to the left branch again."
Walking on the brick road on the left again, a few of us became extra cautious. Although the Yunnan group should have walked on this road before, there was no guarantee that there would be any mechanisms that had not been triggered by them.
Especially on both sides of the brick road, you can still see the remaining traces of some mechanisms from time to time, and even half of the stone wall is stuck in the air.
I don’t know whether it was due to disrepair or what the Yunnan group did, but the stone wall did not completely fall down, leaving a gap as high as half a person.
The journey was uneventful, and we reached the end of the brick path, where a stone door appeared in front of us.
The stone door has been pushed open, and the dark hole behind the door looks like the mouth of a giant beast with its mouth wide open, ready to devour everything that enters its mouth.
But we didn't hesitate and walked in directly.
As soon as we entered the stone gate, a slightly strong smell of blood immediately penetrated our noses. We all quickly raised our flashlights to take pictures of the situation behind the stone gate.
The light looked around in a circle and quickly gathered the situation behind the door into a complete outline, which was reflected back to our eyes.
This is a small stone room with nothing in it. Facing us is a dark entrance.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing surprising.
This is because of the unusual sights on both sides of the entrance where we came in.
On both sides of the entrance, one on the left and one on the right, there is a nail board driven deeply into the wall, three inches into the wall. And between the nail board and the wall, there is a corpse nailed to the walls on both sides. Countless
The sharp thorns penetrated their bodies and plunged into the wall.
The corpse was hanging in the air, scarlet blood dripping along the drooped feet and onto the ground, forming a large pool of blood.
The smell of blood comes from these two corpses.
Deyang Ram took a deep breath, and after a long time, he slowly spit it out, "It's so disgusting."
"In ancient tombs, there were often diamond 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 originally leads to the tomb at the bottom of the lake." Tsewang reminded.
"That's true, but since there are so many mechanisms here, the ones in the tomb at the bottom of the lake are probably even more dangerous."
In fact, when it comes to mechanisms in tombs, people who have watched too much TV and novels often think that setting up mechanisms is easy. In fact, it is not the case. It may be easy to set up some mechanisms on the ground, but don’t forget that these large ancient tombs are not underground.
, that is, in a tight mountain, the amount of work required to set up a mechanism is often ten times, or even dozens of times, that of a ground building.
In particular, the sophistication of this mechanism, after two thousand years, was still 100% effective, killing so many people easily.
Even I was completely shocked for a moment.
Moreover, the mechanism is just a small appetizer.
The most dangerous thing in the tomb, as well as the equally dangerous Rakshasa bloody corpse, are still waiting for us on the road ahead.
We didn't stay in this empty stone room for too long. We left the two bodies nailed to the wall and walked into the stone door on the opposite side.
Surprisingly, behind the stone door is a coffin room. A copper coffin is placed upright in the middle. The lid of the coffin has been removed and is leaning against the coffin body.
"This is actually an ancient tomb." Ciwang took a breath.
"I'm afraid this secret passage was built using the structure of the ancient tomb, but the tomb should have been empty long ago." I didn't rush to check the situation in the coffin, but first took a look at the situation inside the coffin.
The entire coffin room is not big, and is paved with long strips of huge stones. The gaps between the stones are also filled with dark gray clay to increase the strength of the entire wall.
This clay is
It was fired using a special technique. After thousands of years, it has become integrated with the boulder. If a tomb robber dug a hole vertically from above and hit the outside of the coffin room, he might not be able to penetrate this layer of the coffin body.
And the tomb robbers who come in from the front tomb passage will naturally be mercilessly tortured by the agencies just like the group in front.
"It's just a fake tomb, but it has such sufficient preventive measures." 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." I sighed.
The coffin room was empty and there was nothing. I turned my gaze back and came to the side of the coffin whose lid had been opened. I picked up the flashlight and shined it inside. The first thing that caught my eye was a body that had been torn to pieces.
The white bones. Just as I thought, I found nothing but the white bones.
"The people of Heiyun Village worship their ancestors extremely. A coffin is placed here to confuse intruders. As for the funerary objects in the coffin, they have long been taken away."
"Then who is this person lying here?"
"I don't know what kind of short-lived intruder it is. Maybe he is an ancestor of his old Yun family."
The only problem now is that this coffin chamber is already the end of the road, so where is the road we are looking for? In the following time, we carefully searched the entire tomb chamber, including the empty coffin, but there was no trace of it.
discovery.
Uncle Ciwang even lay on the floor tiles of the tomb and touched every brick.
Half an hour later, we gathered around the empty coffin and occasionally used flashlights to scan the surrounding tomb walls, but had no clue as to where the real tomb was.
"Lin Kun, do you think they entered from here in Yunnan Province? Otherwise, there should be an entrance. If that doesn't work, let's go out and walk around in the mountains. Maybe we can find clues."
"No." I leaned against 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 lit it, and continued: "Tell me what you think."
I frowned deeply in the smoke, shook my head and said: "The tomb at the bottom of the lake is at the bottom of the lake. It is like the kind of ancient tomb hidden deep in the bottom of the lake. Even if you know the location of the main tomb accurately, you can still dig it by robbing holes.
Without going in, it would be impossible to penetrate the sealing layer at the bottom of the lake."
"Unless they have a way to enter the ancient tomb?" I had an idea, but then I shook my head and rejected this possibility.
The ancestral tomb in Heiyunzhai has a history of more than 2,000 years. Even if the craftsmen who participated in the construction at that time had not died and privately left documents about the tomb, how could it be preserved after so many years?
Perhaps over thousands of years, the nearby topography has changed accordingly, exposing the outer structures of the ancient tomb.
Just like the cave entrance when we came out of the Millennium Ancient Corpse Tomb last time, this was the case. It did not exist two thousand years ago. The mezzanine was originally just an ordinary mountain wall.
If there is one, then there are two. Maybe there is an entrance to the tomb at the bottom of the lake in other places, but we don't know it yet.
But with just a few of us, it is understandably difficult to find a second entrance in the vast mountainous area.
Uncle Ciwang took a few puffs of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt away, and said, "Lin Kun, I still don't believe it. There is such a big tomb, and there is still no mechanism."
After saying this, he used the flashlight again. This time he did not lie on the ground and study the floor tiles, but looked at the green tiles on the wall one by one. After looking at a wall carefully, he found nothing, but it was a good idea.
Don't be discouraged, go to another wall and continue searching.
I watched for a while and saw that he found nothing, so I turned around and groped for the sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb again. The exit of the passage last time was found under the jade coffin of the ancient corpse, so I removed the inside of the coffin.
Chapter completed!
