Vermillion mole

"So, there are organs here?" Wu Xie asked.

"Needless to say, the little brother's footprints came out from here, there must be a mechanism here. This place may be the official secret passage to enter and exit this ancient building." The fat man said, "Let me press some carefully. There must be something wrong with one of them." Speaking of which, the fat man was about to take off his coat and go up to study it.

Wu Xie hurried to stop it: "As long as the dust here is stained with sweat, you will itch all over your body. The feeling is worse than death. And when you scratch, a piece of skin will come off, and you touch these brave skins. Ass, I'm sure it will touch some mechanism."

Hearing what Wu Xie said, the fat man could only wrap himself in his clothes.But he didn't care about the mechanism, he tiptoed up, and said: "There is no particularly deadly mechanism along the way, I don't think you need to worry about it, just be careful, Fat Lord is very experienced."

As he said that, the fat man studied the details on the Pixiu one by one, so carefully that it was a bit wretched, but no matter how he studied, he felt that these Pixiu were dead and could not be pressed.

Just when he was wondering, Zhang Qiling on Ah Miao's back suddenly moved.I saw his hand stretched out.

Ah Miao looked back at him.He was extremely weak, his eyes were still closed, and he didn't know if he was fully awake.

The fat man also looked back at him, and asked softly, "Brother, what do you want to do?"

"I'll come." Zhang Qiling on his back said softly.

Ah Miao immediately understood what he meant, and took a few steps forward.His oddly long fingers stuck to the icy pillar, and then he used his fingers to gently slide on all the patterns.

Carrying him on his back, he quietly walked round and round the pillar.No sound was dared to come out.When he circled No.20, Zhang Qiling said: "No. 13 in the first row, sixth in the second row and seventh in the third row. Tap each one lightly, remember order."

Fatty complied immediately.After finishing, I suddenly saw these pillars began to rotate slowly.Turning and turning, a gap appeared on a pillar in the middle that probably only allowed one person to pass sideways.Inside the gap is a passage, all the way down, leading directly to the ground.On the inner wall of this pillar, there are climbing spikes.

"A brother in the family is like a treasure!" said the fat man.

Ah Miao carefully went down with Zhang Qiling on her back, went down to the bottom, took a light with a lighter, and saw a room made of stones, and looking at the surroundings, it should be an underground palace.

"Is this part of the Zhang family's ancient building?" the fat man asked.

Ah Miao nodded—according to the previous practice, the underground palace of this ancient building should be the tomb of Zhang's ancestors.I'm afraid that the people buried in this place are all quite old seniors.

"What should I do?" Wu Xie asked

"Brother came from here, obviously the entrance and exit is here! Brother, you are a good person to do it to the end, let's do a GPS again." Fatty said to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling didn't respond, it seemed that he fell asleep again.The fat man looked at it and could only shake his head, and said to Wu Xie and Ah Miao, "The battery is out."

"Let's go, let's be careful. Since the way out is here, we can always find it." Ah Miao said,

"When encountering mountains to open a road, and encountering water to build bridges, we take one step at a time. Let's look around first." Wu Xie said

There is no dust here, so you can have a good rest.The fat man was also panting quite badly, so I asked him to put everything down first.

After looking around, I found that the only way out ahead was a stone gate.The stone door is tightly closed, but traces of it being opened recently can be seen from under the door.

"Is this the door of the tomb?" said the fat man, he gasped after touching it, "It's really the door of the tomb!"

"It seems that this may be the original form of the Zhang family's ancient building. The oldest Zhang family's tomb may not be a building, but an ordinary ancient tomb. Later, after the wooden structure of the ancient building above was repaired, it was preserved by future generations. It is the underground palace at the bottom of the ancient building. All the seniors of the Zhang family are here!"

"Damn it, then if we go in, wouldn't it be the same as fighting against each other?"

"Why, are you afraid?" Wu Xie asked.

"No, I'm excited." The fat man said, "How long do you think my brothers have not entered the real fight? , we can have a good time!"

Wu Xie said to him: "That's fine, 'Captain Mojin', please go ahead, find a way out quickly and let's go out first. I'll find some real fights next time for you to enjoy yourself."

"No, I said so, but after this time, I'm really a little timid. I decided to switch to selling Chinese cabbage when I go back."

The previous ancient building is not a tomb in the formal sense, but when you enter here, the feeling is different.This is the tomb of the ancestors of the Zhang family. No matter how you say it, it is the tomb of the elders who are much more powerful than us. It is disrespectful to disturb.Wu Xie and Fatty kowtowed in front of the tomb gate.Then Wu Xie asked the fat man to bring out the cigarettes, and everything still had to follow the rules.

According to the old rules of the northern sect, everyone who entered an ancient tomb had to burn incense to worship, to show that he was a poor man, his wife was seriously ill, and his wife was robbed, so he had to rely on this windfall to survive, in order to get forgiveness from the tomb owner.

Of course, the fat man spoke more convincingly, saying that the descendants of your Zhang family are unreliable, that the GPS is out of battery, that you can't find your way if you get lost, and so on.

The fat man said: "After reading, let's smoke the 'incense'. I've been here once, I think the ancestors won't mind."

Wu Xie said: "Do you mind or not, you will find out later. I can smoke cigarettes, but you must not touch them."

After the fat man came down, his coughing decreased significantly, and Ah Miao also relaxed a little.The fat man was right, maybe his bloody cough would be all right.

The fat man said: "Don't worry, our future is uncertain now, I won't make fun of my life. When you smoke, take a big bite, I'll just take a few sips of second-hand ones."

Wu Xie said: "Stop talking nonsense, let me show you what you can do."

After the fat man finished, he went to push the stone door. After pushing it a few times, he found that there was something blocking the stone door. Looking through the crack of the door, he saw a natural stone.

"How do you open this stone gate?" Wu Xie asked.

Ah Miao said lightly, "Let me do it."

The fat man nodded, took out a hook from his bag and handed it to Ah Miao, who took the hook and inserted it behind the door of the tomb, then went to open the stone.

The self-stone is a very famous thing-it can be used to make the stone door close by itself when leaving the ancient tomb.At that time, many new archaeologists did not understand the principle of this thing when they entered the ancient tomb for the first time, and they would choose to use violence to force open the door of the ancient tomb.After opening it once, they will find out what's wrong, but often it's too late.The tomb doors were damaged beyond repair.After a while, I saw the door loosen.Wu Xie and Fatty leaned against the stone door, and the door finally opened.

A huge stone path appeared in front of him, and it was pitch black inside.Pick up the flashlight and look inside.

Fatty's face now has an expression of happiness and excitement intertwined, and he said happily: "The path to the tomb, damn it, it's more intimate than seeing the road in front of my own house."

"The Zhang family seems to be a little underdeveloped! If the Zhang family ancient building above is the most awesome work of Shi Xianglei, then it is all made of stones. This project is obviously more difficult than the Zhang family ancient building. Much more." Wu Xie said, "Moreover, with these stones as the foundation at the bottom of the ancient building, the earthquake resistance of the ancient building will be much higher."

Turning on the flashlight, he walked into the tomb while looking around.On the stone wall here, there is no shadow of Miluotuo at all.All are volcanic rocks.Obviously, this place itself was built to defend against Miluotuo.

There are two drainage ditches on both sides of the stone path, which are similar to the tomb path in the Xisha ancient tomb, connecting the drainage system under the ancient building.But it seems that there has been no water flow here for many years.Could it be that the rainfall in Banai has decreased in recent years, and the rain is far less abundant than in ancient times?Or because of a large project, the groundwater flowing here has become less?No matter what the reason is, this is a very good thing for the protection of the Zhang family's ancient building.

After walking 70 meters, the tomb path began to turn.There are many stone caves on both sides, all of which are very small coffins.The layout is pretty much the same as what we saw upstairs.But these coffins are all made of stone, which doesn't look too luxurious.Obviously, in the early days, the Zhang family also complied with the burial customs at that time, and most of them used sarcophagi.

There are also many texts on the stone walls here.Fatty wanted to see it, but was held back by Wu Xie.

Before finding Zhang Qiling, we must not let go of any clues, but now we have found Zhang Qiling.At this moment, Wu Xie only had one sentence in his mind: I want to say bye-bye to Zhang Family Gulou.

The fat man didn't give up yet, and said: "Let's take a look by the way. The original origin of the Zhang family must be in these words. Moreover, the things in these coffins must be very old and very valuable! Let's just open one and take one away. For nothing!"

"Didn't you say that you have been counseled? Why are you suddenly thinking about this again?"

"Touching the scene to create love." The fat man said, shaking his head after thinking about it, "Forget it, it may not be a good thing to have you opening the coffin. Listen to you and keep going."

Wu Xie said: "Don't talk nonsense! When you get out, if you want money, I will give you the third uncle's property!"

The fat man said: "Come on, I can't afford that kind of underworld culture! Fat man, I still like to live as a businessman for a few years."

After walking about 30 meters further, a row of huge coffins suddenly appeared in the center of the passage ahead.Each coffin is about the size of a double-door refrigerator, and they are arranged in a line on the edge of the stone passage.

I went up and counted, and there were as many as sixty.The fat man said: "These are some of the ancestors of the Zhang family's ancient building with relatively abnormal shapes. It looks like their bodies are fucking as good as Japanese sumo wrestlers. It seems that my brother has such a good figure, it seems that he was trained the day after tomorrow." .”

Ah Miao said: "These are joint burial coffins, and there are two corpses inside, so it seems that the joint burial coffins of more loving and model couples are here."

The fat man was greatly moved after seeing it—if he and Yun Cai were to be buried together in the future, the coffin would have to be bigger, a coffin as big as a chest of drawers.

Wu Xie told him that after he died, Yuncai would still be old enough to remarry five or six times, and that they would be buried together in a large bunk, and the fat man scolded Wu Xie for being dirty.

There is also a stone gate behind these large coffins, with a large black pillar on the left and right.Looking at the thickness, it seems that it extends from the top, and it may be the part of the ancient building on the top that goes deep into the ground.

The stone door was half open, apparently someone had come out of it.Wu Xie wanted to go there, but the fat man grabbed Wu Xie and let Wu Xie look at the pillar.

There are traces of being handled by people on the pillar, and many things have been pasted on it.At first glance, it turned out to be tape.Looking at it this way, it was as if this pillar accidentally stepped on a gangster boss while walking and was beaten madly, and he almost painted two tearful eyes on him.

Wu Xie climbed up the pillar to check, and found that these tapes were stuck to the countless small eyes on the surface of the pillar.This pillar seems to have been eaten by termites, and it is full of small holes.I wanted to tear off a piece to have a look, but was blocked by the fat man.He said, brother, they must have a reason for posting it, so don't mess around.

After re-reading, all the places where the tape was pasted were pasted again with military tape, and then carefully pushed open the stone door.The moment the stone door was pushed open, Ah Miao saw that all the tapes suddenly sucked, as if there was a change in the air pressure at the entrance of the cave.

Sure enough, there is something strange, I don't know what will happen if I don't stick it, maybe there will be countless poisonous needles shot out.I suddenly remembered that this ancient tomb can use air pressure as the power to drive the mechanism, and this kind of mechanism can be made quite cleverly.

After the stone door was pushed open, he entered sideways, held up the flashlight and quickly shot at all corners.Inside is a stone chamber.

The size and scale of the stone chamber are very ordinary, without any polishing or relief.There are wooden boxes all around. If you don’t look carefully, you may think it’s a short coffin!In the middle of these boxes, there is also a coffin.This coffin seemed particularly strange—not in terms of appearance, but as if it should not be placed here.

The boxes around are very messy, it feels as if someone moved these boxes, and then vacated a place to put this coffin here.The problem was that the coffin wasn't even properly positioned, it was placed on a slant and randomly.

Fatty was particularly interested in boxes, and kept saying he only looked at one box, but Wu Xie firmly stopped him.When I came to the side of the coffin, I saw many strange tools that had been rusted to a mess beside the coffin, but I knew they were modern tools at a glance.

"Someone has been here, but it's not my little brother. It seems to have been here a long time ago." The fat man kicked something.The tools, the small parts that were found to be used for brackets, hoisting, sliding, shouldering, seemed to be used for transporting the coffin.

"It should be from the archaeological team in the late 70s. It seems that they carried this coffin from somewhere." The fat man picked up a small part from the ground, blew it, and said, "Could it be that they want to put this coffin on the ground?" shipped out?"

Ah Miao turned her eyes to the coffin.

The coffin is made of wood, and the four corners are covered with iron sheets for protection.The coffin had not been opened and lay there almost untouched.

"Why?" Wu Xie said, "This coffin is not very eye-catching, and they didn't transport it out!"

"Don't talk about it, don't guess what's going on in the archaeological team's mind. If you guess, it will be hard work." The fat man said, "Don't worry about it, keep going. You will know what God wants you to know. If we can know this Where did the coffin come from? This clue can be a little more."

"Wait!" Wu Xie said, "Have you seen the pattern of this coffin before?"

"Where did you read it?" The fat man was puzzled.

Wu Xie said: "We saw the same pattern on the coffin in Zhang Qiling's tomb upstairs. Could this be the same generation of Zhang Qiling?"

"If it's here, then it's the first Zhang Qiling." The fat man said, he looked at Wu Xie, clicked his tongue, and grabbed Wu Xie's hand, "Wait a minute, naive, I have a few words To remind you."

"What"

"Could this coffin be the one that the archaeological team wanted to transport out of the ancient tomb, and it might be the first Zhang Qiling? If so, do you think there are any key secrets hidden in this coffin? Of course , all of this is just my speculation, but think about your past entanglements, things have come to this point, we will never come in again after we go out. I stand in your position and think for you. Do you want to start? Have a look at this coffin?"

"You want to open it yourself?" Wu Xie asked him.

The fat man shook his head seriously: "No, I just want to go out safely now. I'm thinking of your past days, maybe the answer lies in this coffin. Open it and you'll know, naive, it will open in 3 minutes, since you Want to know, you should try."

"What the fat man said makes sense, so go ahead and drive it." Ah Miao also persuaded Wu Xie

"You're right." Wu Xie looked at the top of his head, and there seemed to be no movement, so he said, "Damn it, do it, open it and have a look."

Prying coffins is a hassle without tools.Taking out the iron spikes, he found that the top of the wooden coffin was so tight that even the gaps could not be found.In the end, the fat man had sharp eyes, looked down, and said, "It's upside down! The coffin is upside down. They really don't respect people!"

I looked down - sure enough, the coffins were turned upside down one by one.Because it is a square coffin, it doesn't look strange no matter how it is placed.

Wu Xie compared with the fat man, and found that it was impossible to turn the coffin over with only the physical strength of the two of them.

Seeing this, Ah Miao said, "Let's make a hole from the back, and we'll talk after we punch through the bottom of the coffin!"

Wu Xie and Fatty used iron spikes as hammers to beat bit by bit.The fat man's ruthlessness may be to follow the 3-minute agreement he said.Soon he smashed a crack in the bottom of the coffin, and it would be easy if there was a crack, and he inserted the iron spikes into it to pry it.After a while, we created a crack at the bottom of the coffin that was as long as an arm and as wide as a Coke bottle.

The fat man inserted the iron spike into the crack and stirred it, and I said, "Pull everything out of the way, I want to see the genealogy behind the lid of the coffin." !"

The fat man was really good at leading the sheep, Wu Xie ignored him lazily, telling him to put his hand into the coffin quickly, and soon he caught something and pulled it out.Only halfway through, the fat man yelled.

What he pulled out turned out to be the hand of a wet corpse.

"Don't be surprised, it's not like you haven't seen it before!" Wu Xie said

"Not this one, look at your fingers," he said.

All fingers on this hand wear rings.The ring glowed with a very strange light, neither gem nor metal.And the shape of the ring is very strange.

The fingernails of the wet corpse were long, but they didn't seem to be dangerous. The fat man took off the rings one by one, put them in his pocket, and said, "I was surprised by the magnanimity of this hand." ! I thought the Zhang family was a very simple and low-key ethnic group, just like my little brother, all they need to do is suck the wind and drink the dew every day."
