Undying Curse Part 2
Chapter 26 Unfinished
The four bypassed the cordon and walked towards the tomb passage. For Bai Jing and Qianyan who entered the tomb for the first time, the tomb passage was far wider than they imagined, and the temperature was lower than expected.
Su Yang took a strong flashlight and shone on the stone wall at the end of the tomb passage. There was a fork on the left and right. The difference was that the size of the fork was different. When he got closer, he realized that the one on the right was a robber's cave.
"This tomb has already been stolen." Su Yang pointed the white light of the flashlight at the entrance of the cave, "This is the robbery cave."
Xuan Luo, who was following behind, stared at the robber's cave, frowning slightly, and raised his eyebrows to look at the surrounding walls. Just like the man said just now, the architectural style here is really different.
Qian Yan noticed that Xuan Luo was in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find something?"
Xuan Luo looked at Qianyan, who didn't expect her to pay so much attention to herself, walked around them, pointed at the digging marks of the robber's hole, and motioned: "It's true that this is a robbery's hole, but the digging marks are from the inside to the outside, along the The stone wall digs upwards."
"What does this mean?" Bai Jing carefully looked at the digging marks, if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to tell whether it was going out or in, it was really like a mountain separated by lines.
Su Yang followed Xuan Luo's train of thought, and continued, "Could it be that there were tomb robbers trapped here before, and they chose the most difficult way when there was no way out?"
"The most difficult way?"
Xuan Luo caressed the cold wall with his hands, and then recalled the scenery he saw along the way, and he probably had the answer in his heart, "This tomb was built in a ravine, sloping downward, and using a natural cave is the most suitable for a low-key construction of the tomb. But this robbery hole is to dig upwards to escape, the straight-line distance is not only very long, the project is also the largest, and it is more likely to collapse.
It stands to reason that if you usually hear this news, plus zombies, bombings, and those archaeologists who committed suicide, you will be more or less flustered, at least emotionally.
As for part of the reason why they didn't panic, it was because Xuan Luo didn't have any ups and downs in her voice and her calm expression.Bai Jing, who is familiar with psychology, is very clear about the construction of human thoughts, and "panic" is like a kind of communication medium, which will quickly spread and spread to people around him.But as long as someone strong enough stays calm, it creates a barrier to stop the spread of the virus.
Through the above judgment, Bai Jing can be sure that Xuan Luo, who doesn't talk much and doesn't express much, has this strength.
Seeing Xuan Luo calm and composed, Qian Yan pointed the beam of the flashlight to the left, shaking the footprints on the ground, "It seems that we are going to go from here, your father and the others also chose this path."
Su Yang stood on the spot without any intention of moving forward, but glanced at the three figures in front of him, frowning beautifully, "If there are really many unknown dangers inside, you'd better not follow in and wait for me outside. I'll go in by myself."
"What are you talking about, here you are, you asked us to wait for you at the door?" Bai Jing knew what Su Yang meant, and it was because she knew that she couldn't follow her thoughts, and said with a serious face: "You have to know, this Not only your father, but also my father."
"...Little Mirror."
"Bai Bai is right, didn't we think about those risks before we came here?" Qian Yan's eyes swept over Xuan Luo and Bai Jing, and finally fell on Su Yang, "One step at a time, your father is so professional A person can naturally see the danger that exists here, and we can't go wrong if we follow their footsteps, not to mention that if something really happens, I can help more or less as a policeman."
Su Yang is not a hypocritical character. Hearing what they said, he pursed his lips and said two words earnestly, "Thank you."
"Okay, if you don't thank me, I'll save it for later." Bai Jing's lips curled up in a confident arc, and she signaled Su Yang to lead the way with a beam of light.
Su Yang walked in the front, Xuan Luo walked in the last, and went directly into the left tomb passage, following messy footsteps, walking zigzag among the many forked tomb passages, but unexpectedly, this section of tomb passage was shorter than expected, After calculating the distance, they walked more than 70 meters, turned three turns, then turned down, walked another 30 meters, and saw a stone door that was opened. After walking in, they found that they had reached a tomb.
Four white light spots dangled around, Xuan Luo saw clearly that the wall was made of blue bricks, and saw a gap on the left side of the wall.But generally speaking, the sturdiness and luxury of Tang tombs are also among the best in history. Just like the tomb passages we passed just now, there are several exquisite stone gates. In this deep mountain, thick blue bricks are used as stone walls. This is more than just the four words to describe it as impenetrable as gold?
"Is this also a robbery hole?" Qian Yan asked following her gaze without leaving Xuan Luo's gaze.
"Yes, but..." Xuan Luo swept across the closed stone door to the west, and then looked at the messy footprints in front of the robber's cave, "Miss Su's father, this time he chose to go through the robber's cave."
"Why did you go through the robber's cave instead of the main entrance?" Bai Jing asked.
Su Yang didn't know much about this, but naturally looked at Xuan Luo.
Xuan Luo, who saw the night like the day, saw Jiang You's Gu butterfly above the tomb, felt the gazes of three people, and explained: "There are two possibilities, the first one is someone who follows your father, someone who understands Feng Shui People, he figured out that this side door is the door of life. The second possibility... is that this road has already been walked by tomb robbers before, and the mechanism inside is likely to be destroyed, saving trouble, time and effort."
Thinking about the robbery hole outside, the three people agreed that it was the second possibility, and the three people who got the answer decided to move forward in this direction.
Xuan Luo, who followed at the end, looked at their backs and raised the corners of his lips helplessly.
At the same time, Jiang You, who was on the edge of the cliff, took a picture of the valley in front of him with his mobile phone according to Xuan Luo's prompt, and sent it to Ye Lingyu.
Listening to Xuan Luo's patient explanation, he clicked his tongue twice, and joked: "Sure enough, I am more patient than usual when facing your little policeman."
Jiang You stared at the mobile phone that had been sent successfully, raised his eyebrows to look at the scenery in front of him, and admired it.She laughed because she knew that Xuanluo could only listen to her nagging, but could not refute. This feeling made her happier than ever, but looking at the geological environment here, she cleared her throat and said meaningfully: "Now there are three Your child not only needs a hundred thousand reasons, but also needs your protection, isn't it very tiring?"
Xuan Luo in the tomb passage stood at the same spot, staring at the backs of the three people who were fading away, and said six words coldly, "Look for someone, watch the way, and shut up."
"What?" Qianyan turned her head and asked softly to Xuanluo: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing." Xuan Luo lowered the flashlight, submerging his frowning expression in the darkness, "It's nothing, it's very dark here, everyone pay attention to the road."
Qianyan nodded, turned around and continued walking.
Jiang You's uncontrollable laughter came from Xuan Luo's ear, and he coughed coldly.
Jiang You knew that if she kept on joking, she would definitely not be able to keep walking around when Xuan Luo came out. She closed her eyes and manipulated Gu Die to explore the road ahead of them clearly, and heard the ding A tinkling voice said, "Wuyang, there is movement 300 meters in front of you. It may be the person you are looking for. I will ask Mo Die to check first."
……
……
……
"After walking for such a long time, why didn't I see a single coffin?" Bai Jing, who was walking behind Su Yang, waved the flashlight in his hand from side to side, and asked casually: "The room just now was quite big, but it turned out to be empty. One thing, did the tomb robbers take the coffin away too?"
"My father told me that in ancient times, the tombs of powerful and rich people were always ingenious. They were also afraid that their things would be stolen after death, so they would make one or two messy and empty tombs as a cover-up for The purpose is to give the tomb robbers an illusion that there is nothing left in this tomb." Thinking back to the vacant tomb just now, Su Yang guessed: "So even if you see the coffin, it is probably just the coffin and there is no corpse inside."
Bai Jing admits that his previous views on archeology during this trip have been completely overturned. In this darkness, how many mysteries and ingenious designs are there, waiting for people to explore?This is more than just an ancient tomb, it represents history, and there is an illusion that people nowadays live too without a sense of crisis, and their heads have become so incapable of thinking.
Crossing this tomb passage, there is another exquisite stone gate at the end. Su Yang first confirms the footprints, and then carefully steps through this stone gate.Only then did they realize that they had come to a tomb that was at least twice as large as before.
The four of them looked up, down, left, and right of the tomb carefully. It was the same as the tomb just now. Not only was there no coffin, but there was nothing there, and everything was empty, let alone funeral objects. There are no extra stones, only a few logs supporting it.
The more Su Yang looked at it, the more strange he became, and even a little confused.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Jing, who was following Su Yang, said softly.
"It stands to reason that this is a road leading to the main hall. Why are there still finds in the side halls on the left and right, but there is nothing on the road leading to the main hall?" Su Yang looked at the empty surroundings through the white light, even He began to deny the explanation just now, "Did something happen, this tomb was not built?"
"Not built?" Bai Jing couldn't understand, if it wasn't a complete tomb, where did the zombies come from?
Listening to the conversation between Su Yang and Bai Jing, Xuan Luo walked quietly in this empty tomb room. Through the buildings on the wall, it can be confirmed that it is the tomb room specification of Tang Dynasty.The surroundings of the tomb are square, with edges and corners, and the upper shape is deliberately ground into an arc, which was called "round sky and place" at that time.
Around the place where the coffin should be placed, there are seven logs without any carvings on them. In the Tang Dynasty, it was possible to build a round place in the tomb, most of which were relatives of the emperor, so Xuanluo knew that the seven logs without carvings The log not only represents the Big Dipper, but should also be engraved with a copy representing the identity of the owner of the tomb, but now there is nothing, which is enough to confirm Su Yang's speculation that this is an unfinished tomb, next to two tall stone lamps , she saw a heavy stone door, twisted slightly, and the stone door opened.
"Is this the exit?" Bai Jing followed the voice and came behind Xuan Luo and asked.
Xuan Luo glanced at the footprints left on the ground, and was about to answer, but was interrupted by a shallow voice.
"Look!" Qianyan has already reached the innermost part of the tomb, and is using the flashlight in his hand to illuminate the painted patterns on it, "There are murals here."
The three people who heard the sound walked towards her position, and four strong flashlights hit the wall at the same time to see the mural clearly.
The colors of the murals are colorful, like photos that have been magnified countless times. The women's clothing and fat body in the murals are enough to show the living habits of the Tang Dynasty, and it is more confirmed that this is a tomb of the Tang Dynasty.
Walking all the way along the mural, the painting behind half of the wall is just a primer, and has not been painted. All of the above also confirmed Su Yang's speculation that this is indeed an unfinished tomb.
Since it's not finished, why is it here...
Just as everyone was thinking, there was a slight sound outside the stone door opened by Xuan Luo, and a gust of cold wind came.
Su Yang took a strong flashlight and shone on the stone wall at the end of the tomb passage. There was a fork on the left and right. The difference was that the size of the fork was different. When he got closer, he realized that the one on the right was a robber's cave.
