Chapter 196: Hundred Kills Torture
"Damn, what kind of place is this? Why are there so many coffins?" Fatty exclaimed, then turned around and asked Grandpa and Uncle Ming: "You two are well-informed, have you seen so many coffins?"
"This..." Grandpa sighed and said, "I have never seen this before. Generally speaking, at most three members of a family are buried together in a tomb. How could there be so many coffins piled up at once."
"It's really weird! Even if it's a slave buried with him, it doesn't comply with the rules. The slaves in ancient times were of low status and were not worthy of having a coffin." Uncle Ming said.
"The people sleeping in these coffins are neither tomb owners nor slaves. Could they be the craftsmen who repaired the tomb? After all, it is inevitable that many craftsmen will die on the way to dig such a large tomb." Fatty said.
He shined the torch forward and said.
"No." Uncle Ming shook his head: "The status of craftsmen is no different from slaves. In the eyes of feudal rulers, they are just like ants! And as far as I know, most of the ancient tombs are being built after they are completed.
After that, all the corpses of the idle people will be cleared away, because in ancient times there was a strict hierarchy, and there were clear regulations on what clothes people of each class should wear. If you bury a low-class person with the emperor, you are not committing a crime of bullying.
Sin?"
"That's really weird." The fat man scratched his head and said, "Fat man, I have fought a few fights, but the things in other people's tombs are either gold and silver jewelry or beautiful concubines, so that I can stay in the underworld.
Continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world. But what is going on with this tomb? Why are there so many sarcophagi? Is the owner of the tomb too bored and looking for a few more people to hold a conference? "
"Have a meeting?" Zhang Sanpao frowned, seeming to realize something.
As I get closer and closer to the main tomb, I become more and more aware of Zhang Sanpao’s excellence!
This man is really terrible. His mind is like a vast ocean, and I don’t know how many fish and shrimps are hidden in it.
I wanted to ask something several times, but Zhang Sanpao's mouth seemed to be sewn shut with thread, and he refused to speak.
Just when I wanted to ask again, I suddenly heard the fourth girl behind me say: "Li Dingdang, find a place to put me down. I want to take a rest."
I saw that the fourth girl had difficulty breathing and that the skin on her body had no color at all. I carefully placed him on a big rock and fed him half a bottle of water.
The fourth girl seemed to notice that I was very curious about those coffins, so she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry about me, you can go and see them."
"But you..."
"Don't worry, this is an old problem of mine, I just need to stay by myself for a while."
I saw that the fourth girl closed her eyes after finishing speaking. Knowing that he needed to rest at this time, I did not disturb him anymore, but walked towards the huge sarcophagi with the torch.
At this time, the fat man had already climbed onto a stone coffin. He was looking around, as if he was studying how to open the coffin.
I was worried that the fat man was in danger, so I reminded him to come down.
But the fat man waved his hand at me and said, "Hey, Dingdang, don't you understand this? Look, there are at least a hundred coffins in this place, but this one is the tallest and largest. I guess there must be a lot of treasures inside."
After saying that, the fat man went to touch the hammer and crowbar.
I was afraid that Fatty would not be safe alone, so I followed him and climbed into the sarcophagus.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down on the coffin lid, I was shocked by what was on the coffin lid!
This thing was like a light in the darkness, instantly attracting my attention.
I didn't care about the fat man anymore, so I quickly lay down and held up a flashlight to observe carefully.
Perhaps because I reacted too much, everyone who was looking at the other coffins looked in my direction.
Grandpa even asked me: "Dingdang, what did you see?"
I didn't say anything and continued to stare at the thing in front of me. It wasn't until my grandfather asked me for the second time that I answered: "It's a carving! There are carvings on the coffin lid, and they are exactly the same as the carvings in Li Si's tomb..."
"What?"
Even Grandpa and Uncle Ming, who were experienced and calm, all screamed when I said that the carvings on the coffin lid were exactly the same as those in Li Si's tomb.
They hurried over and asked, "Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent sure. If you don't believe it, just come up and see for yourself." I pointed my hand and said.
Although Grandpa and Uncle Ming are already in their sixties, they are very agile. They turned over one by one and flew to the sarcophagus.
When they saw the carvings on the coffin lid, they all opened their mouths involuntarily, with shock in their eyes!
These carvings are very exquisite, and the characters on them are so lifelike that if you don't look carefully, you would think they are alive. They are simply works of art left by our ancestors!
But this handicraft is too bloody.
Because every prisoner in the sculpture is undergoing a variety of tortures. Some are cut in half, some are stabbed with bamboo sticks on the vat door, and some have their bellies cut open and their intestines pulled out one by one like twists...
There was even skinning. The prisoner's entire face was skinned clean by the executioner, and it was all a blur of flesh and blood. He was still alive, screaming in pain.
Although this was the second time I saw these torture carvings, the content on the carvings still made my scalp numb, and a cool breeze from nowhere rushed into my neck.
It was as if these murderous tortures were being played right in front of my eyes.
A few of us stood stunned on the sarcophagus for several minutes before we were interrupted by the fat man's cry.
"Dingdang, why do I feel that the carvings on this coffin lid are so familiar?" Just halfway through speaking, the fat man thought of the answer, and the fat on his face trembled: "Li Si, this is the giant sheep-headed door in Li Si's tomb.
Something on top.”
The fat man's voice was so loud that not only did it attract Zhang Sanpao, but also the remaining two outsiders were extremely curious. Fortunately, they had not been to Li Si's tomb and did not know what Li Si was referring to in the fat man's mouth.
What is.
Only Zhang Sanpao came over and asked: "Li Si? What Li Si?"
I know that Zhang Sanpao has never been to Li Si's tomb, but judging from previous signs, he must know the existence of Li Si's tomb, so he said: "These coffins have carvings on them, and they are all about ancient torture, and they are the same as before.
The carvings in Li Si’s tomb that I’ve been to are exactly the same.”
"I said, we probably robbed the wrong place last time, right?" Fatty said, "This is the real tomb of Li Si!"
"Impossible!" Grandpa and Uncle Ming said in unison: "The age of these sarcophagi is definitely much earlier than that of Li Si."
"Yes, judging from the murals we saw earlier, this should also be Dayu's tomb." Zhang Sanpao said.
Seeing that Grandpa, Uncle Ming, and Zhang Sanpao all denied it, the fat man asked: "Then you can explain what happened to these identical carvings. Could it be a coincidence? Such a 100% coincidence can be
Let’s buy sports lottery tickets!”
Although I was a little curious at this time, I had a vague clue: "It can't be a coincidence, there must be some connection between the two. Do you still remember the two giant sheep-headed doors we opened earlier? Talk to Li Si
The giant sheep-headed door in the tomb is also exactly the same, with a green sheep head and bloody sheep eyes."
The fat man was stunned: "According to the chronology, Dayu was from the Xia Dynasty and Li Si was from the Warring States period. Could it be that the secrets in Li Si's tomb were stolen from here?"
"It's very possible." Grandpa nodded heavily and said, "In other words, Li Si just got some of Dayu's secrets, so he detained Xu Fu and three hundred boys and girls to deceive Qin Shihuang."
"But what is the secret that makes Li Si so crazy?" I asked.
"Who knows for sure? Why don't you ask the fourth girl?" the fat man reminded.
I saw that the fat man was right. The fourth girl personally admitted that he had been here, and he must know much more about this place than we did. I didn't think about it immediately, and raised the torch to ask the fourth girl.
