Chapter 171: Mural Lost
"Damn it, Zhao Gao really thought he was a rabbit and made so many holes!"
The wretched man cursed with fear on his face, but Liu Wei didn't think so. He walked to the place where he was just now, picked up his backpack and miner's lamp, handed one to Bai Chi, and said with a seemingly relaxed smile:
"Master, let's go in. This mechanism is so secretive, it probably leads to the real tomb."
Bai Chi wanted to refute but couldn't find any excuse, so he took the backpack and followed him in. The wretched man and Bai Shisan also followed behind.
The space inside is not comparable to that of a narrow corridor. Four people are standing in a passage about ten meters in diameter. The workmanship of this passage is completely different from that of the tomb chamber just now. Liu Wei took the miner's lamp and slowly walked
Walking in front, Bai Chi followed closely behind Liu Wei and looked at both sides of the passage.
The two sides of the cave wall gradually became smoother as the four people went deeper. Liu Wei walked in front and let out a light sigh, then turned sideways and pointed the miner's lamp at the cave wall. Bai Chi also followed his example and looked over there.
Is it a mural?
Although Bai Chi entered the ancient tomb for the second time, he knew that it was very normal for murals to appear in ancient tombs. However, Liu Wei looked at it so carefully that Bai Chi felt that the mural was not as simple as it seemed, so he walked over after thinking about it.
Under the weak miner's lamp, the murals depict countless terracotta warriors similar to those seen hanging in mid-air. On the ground, there are some tied up people looking at the terracotta warriors in horror.
Bai Chi was very puzzled because he touched these things for the first time. He turned around and asked Liu Weidao:
"The people in the painting, what are they doing?"
Liu Wei shook his head and said he didn't know. When Baichi was about to look again, Liu Wei shifted the miner's lamp to shine on the other side. Sure enough, as the light moved, there was such a mural on Liu Wei's side.
Bai Chi moved a step and took a look. This one was similar to the one just now, but if you look closely, you will find that there are no people lying on the ground this time. Instead, there are already formed warriors.
Suddenly, before Liu Wei made any move, Bai Chi opened Liu Wei's hand and took a photo in front of him. For a while, several people didn't know what words to use to describe their surprise. This third scene in front of Bai Chi
A group of soldiers clearly appeared on the mural, and they were tying up the warriors with iron chains.
Having reached this point, Bai Chi couldn't help but shed cold sweat on his forehead. If it was really the same as the mural, there would be no point in reading the fourth picture anymore. Because the terracotta warriors hanging in the air that we just saw in the tomb were not made of clay.
Not cast, but made of living people.
When Qin Shihuang built his mausoleum, he only used clay to make terracotta warriors, but Zhao Gao actually sacrificed thousands of living beings to make living terracotta warriors and horses?
At this moment, Baichi seemed to hear the angry roars of the thousands of resentful souls outside. They were lamenting the injustice of the world and lamenting the unlucky times. I have to say that Baichi was a little too emotional. This tomb has been silent for thousands of years.
I'm afraid there are not a few souls who died in vain during this period...
Liu Wei saw Bai Chi in a daze and remained silent. He bit his lip and frowned, then walked past Bai Chi and headed towards the fourth mural.
At this time, Bai Chi somewhat admired Liu Wei's decisiveness. An expert like him might have guessed it a long time ago, but he still acted like it was none of his business, as if it was natural for him to do so.
Bai Chi shook his head to prevent himself from being so emotional, and turned his head to look at the fourth mural. In an instant, everything on this mural made Bai Chi forget all the unhappiness he had just felt.
The content of this mural is different from Bai Chi's imagination. It depicts a man standing majestically in the main hall. I don't know because it took too long or the craftsman deliberately carved it like this during the carving. The majestic man's face has been blurred.
, but the clothes on my body have not been destroyed by time.
He was wearing a robe, and his hands were clasped behind his back, and because of this action, the clothes on his body were even more exaggerated. Bai Chi didn't deliberately look at it, but after scanning it with his peripheral vision, he almost screamed.
There was actually a phoenix pattern on that robe!
Bai Chi was completely speechless. He thought there would be countless hanging terracotta warriors in the air, but it turned out to be a painted phoenix.
Bai Chi slowly began to wonder. What was the connection between the sarcophagus in the tomb and the mural? Thinking about it, Bai Chi couldn't help but reach out his hand to the mural, intending to touch the phoenix pattern.
Liu Weizheng was watching in trance and was suddenly awakened by Bai Chi's movements. He probably thought Bai Chi was uncomfortable and asked:
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Chi came back to his senses and said with an embarrassed smile:
"You're standing awkwardly, just move around, it'll be fine!"
Seeing that Bai Chi was fine, Liu Wei took a breath and pointed at the mural and asked:
"What's the relationship between these two people?"
Bai Chi was stunned. He only noticed the phoenix pattern on the robe and didn't look carefully at other things on the mural. Hearing this, he looked towards the mural.
Sure enough, there was a person at the man's feet, but this person was kneeling on the ground with his back turned. Judging from his clothes and posture, he should be a male official.
Bai Chi looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what it meant. He thought for a while and said:
"Perhaps this is the most basic courtesy between a king and his ministers?"
Liu Wei shook his head. Obviously judging from their clothes, they were undoubtedly monarchs and ministers, but why did such an ordinary scene appear here? Could it be that Zhao Gao was showing off to future generations how loyal and patriotic he was.
After Bai Chi finished his answer, he looked at Liu Qi. Liu Wei shook his head and said:
"I know they are kings and ministers, but who are they?"
"Who is it?"
Bai Chi asked in confusion. Is this question unclear? This is the mausoleum built by Zhao Gao. The person who painted the mural should be Zhao Gao... No, judging from the fact that Zhao Gao dared to build the mausoleum, he had already ignored the emperor.
There are signs of replacement, and there is only one explanation for the carving of such a royal mural.
Bai Chi couldn't hold back his inner excitement and blurted out:
"That's not the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, but the emperor salutes his ministers?..."
The wretched man stood in the back and was dumbfounded as he listened to Bai Chi and Liu Wei's question and answer...
Liu Wei was not as excited as Bai Chi when he heard this. It seemed that he had already seen it, but he just didn't want to say it clearly.
At this time, Bai Chi suddenly realized that things were not that simple. It seemed that Liu Wei would discover something every time.
Indeed, this time it was confirmed as soon as Bai Chi finished thinking about it. Liu Wei walked to the first mural, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the fourth mural in small steps. He stared at every step he took.
Mural. And when he walked to Bai Chi, his face turned pale for some reason.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet at this moment. Now Bai Chi could not only hear his own heartbeat, but also vaguely capture the beating of Liu Wei and the wretched man's heart. The only thing that could not be caught was Bai Shisan, whose breathing was still so
Calm, as if his state of mind has never been affected by any strange and strange things. In his eyes, protecting the head of the family may be his only goal.
Bai Chi's expression changed following Liu Wei, and he was about to speak, but Liu Wei stared blankly at the darkness behind Bai Chi. Bai Chi was confused and didn't know what Liu Wei was looking at, but he immediately thought of some possibility.
This is not the first time Liu Wei has looked like this. Is there something behind him...?
Damn it! Bai Chi cursed secretly in his heart, the surrounding environment suddenly became weird. This feeling is like the mood of a person facing unknown things. I can't tell whether it is fear or surprise. Anyway, it is a very contradictory feeling.
.
At this moment, Bai Chi had already prepared for the worst, and even thought about turning his head and seeing a face covered with blood, but when Bai Chi turned around quickly, there was nothing there.
The endless darkness behind him was like the mouth of a beast, full of unimaginable dangers. Seeing that there was nothing threatening his life, Bai Chi turned his head to look at Liu Wei, but his face turned from pale to pale, and at the same time a series of strange words
The sound of "Crush" also came from the endless darkness.
Bai Chi was stunned at first, thinking there was something scary in the darkness, but seeing that Liu Wei didn't show any fear, he didn't care too much.
At this moment, Bai Chi had no intention of paying attention to the four murals. Liu Wei must have seen something in his series of actions just now, but now he was so stunned that he couldn't say a word.
Thinking about Bai Chi imitating cats and tigers and imitating Liu Wei, Bai Chi had to admit that he was very curious. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. This sentence was already understood by Bai Chi when he saw a corpse like his own.
, but what he saw in front of him made Bai Chi truly realize how stupid his curiosity was.
While walking from the first mural to the fourth, Bai Chi saw a mural that was completely different from just now...
The first one is a soldier warrior with countless black spots crawling on its body;
The second scene shows a strong man placed in a pool, with a vague chain on his body;
The third one showed tens of thousands of black spots densely crawling on the ground.
Bai Chi exhaled heavily when he saw this. This picture reminded Bai Chi of the pattern on the pencil sharpener he bought for one dollar in a small shop in Yaodian Town when he was a child. Because of the difference in light and orientation, the pictures he saw were also different.
. But why did ancient craftsmen have such advanced technology?
Two thousand years later, no one can tell exactly. Maybe there was something more advanced at that time than in the 21st century.
Then again, although these three strange murals hide something, they haven't frightened Bai Chi yet. After all, he is a master of martial arts level, and he still has the ability to protect himself.
Now looking at Liu Wei, Bai Chi couldn't help but walk to the fourth mural. Looking sideways, he saw that the man who was kneeling on the ground was already lying on the ground with his head missing, while the standing man raised his hand.
Pointing towards the endless darkness in front of Bai Chi.
If seeing the things hidden in the first three murals was surprising, then seeing the fourth mural was filled with fear. Baichi couldn't tell exactly why he was afraid, but the portrayal of the stalwart man all revealed a hint of domineering, even if he was a
The secondary mural also gave Baichi an urge to bow down and worship.
Now he is only pointing at the endless darkness ahead. Is he telling himself and Liu Wei that there is a place ahead that we cannot set foot in? Or is he trying to be mysterious and confuse his mind?
As the doubts in his mind increased, Bai Chi involuntarily turned around and looked into the darkness. Liu Wei began to tremble.
Bai Chi took a deep breath, and was about to ask Liu Wei what was going on when a familiar pungent smell made Bai Chi cough loudly. And at this moment, Bai Chi understood the hidden meaning of the fourth mural...
"Danger comes from darkness!"
At this time, Baichi finally knew what the danger was, which was the large red ants everywhere...
"Damn, why are these things everywhere!"
Wuxiannan screamed and snatched the miner's lamp from Bai Chi as if facing a formidable enemy. Bai Shisan also pulled out a dagger from his body and stood closely beside Bai Chi, staring at the swarm of red ants pouring out of the darkness.
The front was too long and the light could not penetrate the darkness, but when the wretched man shone down, he almost vomited. Those dense red ants were swarming towards the four people.
"Damn it, are you sick? Why don't you run away quickly!"
Liu Wei hurriedly turned his head and scolded the wretched man.
The wretched man suddenly trembled all over and slowly calmed down. At the same time, when he saw that the ants were only ten meters away from him, he grabbed Liu Wei and shouted:
"Run!"
I have to say that Liu Wei was indeed strong enough. He dragged the wretched man and ran away as soon as he finished shouting. Bai Chi and Bai Shisan were stunned for a moment and then quickly retreated to the corridor.
Chapter completed!
