Chapter 50: The Tomb of Ziche
"Back off!"
Wan Cheng Jinghou shouted, and saw a bloody thing being pulled up from the entrance of the cave. The thing seemed to be still moving. Roar.
Boss Lu pulled the rope and was closest to the entrance of the cave. He didn't react at all. He was hit by the terrible thing and fell to the ground with a "plop", and then screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that it turned out to be a bloody rice dumpling, and he was holding a twisted hand in his hand. The rice dumpling bit Boss Lu's cheekbone with one bite.
Everyone was still in a daze, but Jinghou Wan had already fired his gun immediately, and fired two "bang bang" shots. Boss Lu only felt the rice dumpling biting his face, and then all the strength of his body was pressed on him, and he fell over all at once. .
"what!"
Boss Lu yelled in horror again, and then fell to the ground under the weight of the zongzi, his eyes wide open in horror, and he didn't dare to move.
Everyone waited for a long time, but when the zongzi did not move again, Boss Lu's thugs rushed over, threw the bloody zongzi away, and helped Boss Lu up.
Boss Lu had a big blood hole on his face, covering his face with blood on his hands, Wan Cheng Jinghou said indifferently: "Disinfect it quickly, there may be corpse poison."
Boss Lu panicked for a while, and hurriedly directed the others to take medicine from the backpack and disinfect himself.
Wen Baiyu said: "How could a bloody corpse be pulled out of this hole? What about the person who went in just now?"
Marquis Wan Tengjing raised his chin to indicate what was in the hands of the blood corpse, and everyone took a breath. The blood corpse held a human hand, which was twisted due to pain, and the posture of the fingers bent was very strange. Wearing a finger-wrench, it was the man who had entered the hole.
Looks like it's more ominous than good.
Boss Lu treated the wound, and several other people gathered together to discuss how to proceed.
Pengzi said: "This is too evil. Isn't there a group of people in front of us? Then how did they get down? Could it be that this robbery hole is just a cover to kill us here?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou didn't speak, but squatted down, looked down at the robbery hole, and gently rubbed the soil on the ground with his hands, looking thoughtful.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pengzi said, "I see, this road can't be walked. Let's dig one ourselves. It's near here anyway."
Shen Lin said: "Do you think it is possible that the robbery hole was dug into the funeral pit? That's why the zongzi climbed up from the robbery hole?"
When everyone heard this, they stopped talking.
No matter what, the zongzi here are so tough, it means that there are many tough zongzi underground, or clever mechanisms, they have already been recruited before they go to the tomb, one person died, one person was injured, this is really not Good start.
Moreover, these people all have different ideas, different schools, and different organizations. No one wants to go it alone, but currently they don't have the ability.
When Wen Baiyu saw Wan Cheng Jinghou's appearance, he knew that he must have discovered something, so he squatted beside him and said, "What are you looking at?"
Wan Teng Jinghou pointed to the robbery hole on the ground and said, "The shape of this robbery hole is very strange."
Wen Baiyu also took a closer look. Although he is not a professional, he can understand some things after watching too much. The burrows are either round or square, and the burrows are also very particular. Dig a robbery hole in the ground, and pay attention to strength, where to design it to avoid landslides.
However, this robbery hole looks very irregular, and the hole is like a sugar triangle.
Wan Cheng Jinghou raised three fingers and said: "First, this hole was not dug recently, it has been some years, and this year is quite long... Second, this hole is probably not dug with tools. "
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Didn't you dig it with tools? What does that mean? Could it be that you dug it with your hands?"
Wen Baiyu just asked casually, but Wan Qi Jinghou nodded his head in agreement.
Wen Baiyu was even more surprised, and said, "Did you really dig it by hand?"
He said, using a flashlight to illuminate the robbery hole, and said: "The flashlight can't penetrate such a deep hole. How could it be dug by hand? A person who digs a robbery hole must have much perseverance?"
After Wen Baiyu finished speaking, he said, "What about the third one?"
As he was talking, Pengzi also squatted down and said, "Master Jing, what did you find?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou ignored him and continued: "The third..."
He said, pointing to the soil in the robber's hole, and said: "This hole, according to the traces of digging, was not dug from the outside in."
Pengzi is also a professional in Taoism. His eyes widened when he saw it, and he said, "God, this is not a robbery hole, this is an escape hole. All the traces are from the inside out."
As he said, he also used the flashlight to shine a light on the escape hole, but he was not as lucky as Wen Baiyu, Pengzi immediately let out a "huh" when he took a light.
Wen Baiyu wanted to ask him what he saw, but Pengzi suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had discovered something, but he didn't seem to be able to see clearly. Pale in an instant.
"Ahhhh!"
Pengzi yelled and sat down on the ground, like a frightened child. His behavior caught everyone by surprise, and then they all burst out laughing.
Someone yelled: "Peng Zi, what are you doing!"
Pengzi suddenly got up on both hands and feet, and shouted: "Paralysis, something is crawling! Something is crawling! It's coming out!"
When Wen Baiyu heard this, he immediately looked towards the entrance of the cave, and was startled with fright. He stepped back and almost sat down on the ground, when he saw a big face protruding from the entrance of the cave.
The big blood-stained face, the eyes have shrunk so that it can't be seen, only the blood skin and skeleton frame are left, a piece of blood skin tightly wraps the skeleton, and there is a strange smile on the mouth.
The blood-skinned rice dumpling first stretched out its face, then stretched out a hand, grabbed the edge of the hole, and was about to crawl out.
The bloody rice dumpling reached out to grab Wen Baiyu's ankle, Wen Baiyu got nervous, raised his leg and kicked it wildly, and kicked the bloody rice dumpling back into the hole with a "thump".
Wen Baiyu was dumbfounded, and then ran back with hands and feet. The bloody rice dumpling was kicked in by Wen Baiyu, and soon crawled out again. Everyone immediately shouted: "Shoot! Shoot! Give him a shot! Mom! of!"
For a while there was the sound of gunfire, "bang, bang, bang" sounded more than ten times in a row, and the blood-skinned rice dumpling had already become a sieve, and fell to the ground with a "bang", motionless.
Wen Baiyu panted rapidly, still in shock from fright.
Pengzi came to his senses and said, "This...it's a waste of bullets. If this continues, we'll run out of bullets before we even enter the hole."
Shen Lin said: "Grandma, just throw the dynamite down and blow up these zongzi."
Boss Lu sneered and said, "That's right, the antiques inside are also broken."
Pengzi said: "We have all the tools we brought, how about we dig another hole, there is no need to fight this evil hole."
But Ziche shook his head and said, "That's not okay. I took a look at our dry rations. We crossed the forest and the desert and found the right way. It will take four days to get out. I'll keep a conservative estimate at the tomb. Two days of dry rations will be left. This calculation is not enough, we must save food, if we dig another hole, look at this hole, at least a dozen meters long, and we can’t use explosives, I’m afraid we won’t have the time.”
As soon as he spoke, the crowd fell silent again. It seemed that what he said made sense, and they fell into a stalemate.
Wan Chengjinghou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He picked up the backpack on the ground and said, "We don't have much time. This hole is probably connected to the funeral pit. I will lead, and you follow."
It is the safest thing to start with Wan Qi Jinghou, but it is so dangerous when you first enter the cave, and it will be even more dangerous later. Appropriate, but there is no other way.
Wen Baiyu tugged at Wan Cheng Jinghou, and said, "You..."
Before he finished speaking, Wan Cheng Jinghou said without thinking: "The weather is getting colder and colder."
Wen Baiyu immediately understood that the purpose of their visit this time was for Tang Zi, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was not long before winter, Tang Zi couldn't wait, if there was a glimmer of hope, no one would give up.
Wan Cheng Jinghou took out a dragon-scale dagger, tied it to his arm, tied a flashlight to his right hand, picked up a relatively small gun, which was convenient for attacking in the cave, and then stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down.
Wen Baiyu said, "Be careful."
Wan Cheng Jinghou patted him on the shoulder and said, "You follow behind, and be careful."
Wen Baiyu nodded.
At this moment, Ziche walked over suddenly, and said with a blank expression: "I'll start. This hole looks very narrow. It's inconvenient for you to start. I'll do it."
As soon as he said that, everyone was a little surprised. Although they had seen Zi Che's skills, this young man looked too young after all, and he was seriously injured just now, so he almost failed to save him, and he wanted to lead him.
Wan Cheng Jinghou glanced at him, but said nothing.
Ziche immediately got into the hole, and after a long time, there was no response, and there was no sound of retreating gunshots. Only then did everyone muster up their courage and get into the hole one after another.
The cave is indeed very narrow, so narrow that it feels oppressive and suffocating, and the walls of the cave are full of potholes. There is no supporting point for professional robbers, and many places have collapsed.
The strange thing is that the journey was safe and sound, and I didn't see any zongzi at all.
After climbing for a long time, they finally entered a stone room, and suddenly smelled a musty and pungent smell.
Wen Baiyu covered his nose and was about to vomit with nausea. This is indeed a funeral room, and it must be the funeral room of slaves.
Because there is no coffin in the stone chamber, not even a large cauldron for sacrifices, there are corpses piled all over the ground, all of which have turned into bones due to age, and several corpses are mummified corpses, which seem to be very likely to be corpses .
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, dizzy from the pungent smell.
Pengzi said: "Let's go quickly, this place is evil, there are so many corpses, the smell of corpses is too strong, if there are corpses together, our gun seeds will not be enough!"
As soon as he said it, everyone blamed him for his crow's mouth, saying that it was not good to say anything, but insisted on talking about the corpse.
Wan Cheng Jinghou frowned, and suddenly said, "That's not right."
What everyone was most afraid of was that he said "wrong", because Wan Qi Jinghou had become their leader, and everyone watched Wan Qi Jinghou's actions, and when he frowned, everyone trembled in fear.
Pengzi said nervously, "Master Jing, what's wrong?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou actually walked over a few steps and carefully looked at the piles of corpses on the ground.
Wen Baiyu was so nervous that he was dying, this place is too evil, there are so many corpses piled up horizontally and vertically, there is no arrangement and combination at all, it is better to say it is a mass burial if it is said to be buried with him.
Wan Qi Jinghou looked at those bones for a long time, and felt terrified when he got home for a long time, and felt more and more wrong.
Wen Baiyu moved over, tugged at him, and said, "What's the matter?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "There are too many things that are wrong."
He said, thought for a while, and said: "If this is an escape route, then why did the craftsmen find a burial pit as an escape route? It is not right to dig such a long passage in the place where it is located.”
As soon as he said it, everyone felt that it made sense, and their hairs immediately stood on end.
Wan Teng Jinghou said again: "There is still something wrong...these bones are scattered in disorder, and there is no pattern. At first glance, I think they are slaves who were buried, or craftsmen who were locked in the tomb..."
He pointed to one of the corpses. The corpse had already turned into bones, but it was obvious that he was wearing a jewelry necklace around his neck, and this specification looked very precious, and it was definitely an antique that could sell for a good price.
Boss Lu's eyes lit up immediately.
But I heard Wan Qi Jinghou continue to say: "Slaves will not be buried with sacrifices. This is obviously not a slave."
Pengzi said, "A prisoner of war?!"
Wan Teng Jinghou shook his head, pointed to the pelvis of Baigu, and said: "The pelvis is wide and short, the pelvis wall is smooth, and the mouth is oval and wider..."
Zi Che suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "This is a woman."
As soon as he said it, everyone was even more puzzled. Could it be that men and women were not buried separately in this nation?
Wen Baiyu was also puzzled, it really was a chaotic hiding place, there were slaves, prisoners of war and even women wearing precious jewels, what was going on, it was getting more and more chaotic.
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "The most important point is wrong."
As he spoke, he pointed to the woman's shoulder blade, which had a very obvious scar.
Wen Baiyu said in surprise, "Huh? Are these...tooth marks?"
Pengzi laughed dryly and said, "This bitch is too good at playing, isn't she?"
Boss Lu slapped him across the face and said, "Say the fuck did that and bit the bone!?"
Wen Baiyu shivered for a while, and Wan Cheng Jinghou said lightly: "I don't think this is a burial pit."
Pengzi said, "Master Jing, what do you think this is?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou's voice was still faint, and said: "It's like a refrigerator, which piles up all the things that can't be eaten at once."
eat... no... finish...
This time everyone was shivering. This hypothesis is really terrifying. If the hypothesis is true, that is to say, there is a very powerful big rice dumpling in this tomb. The corpses of the [-]s, living people like them, will undoubtedly become delicious and the freshest food after they go to the tomb...
Shen Lin said tremblingly, "What should I do?"
Pengzi said: "What to do, let's go quickly, don't wait for these corpses..."
Before he could finish the word "raise the corpse", he heard a soft sound of "slightly...".
Pengzi trembled and said, "Who is laughing?"
There was another "crack", this time everyone heard it clearly, it wasn't someone laughing at all, but the sound from those corpses.
Suddenly the mountain where the corpses piled up arched, and a skinned mummy suddenly sat up from the corpse mountain.
Pengzi yelled: "Paralyzed, he's dead! Hurry up and hit him!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fired three shots himself, "Bang bang bang!" Then the others followed suit, and the corpses came together, and their arms and legs were shot flying all over the place.
They breathed a sigh of relief after they finished the fight, but then they thought that such a surprise would be too much of a waste of bullets.
Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go quickly."
Wan Teng Jinghou nodded, grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand, and walked out of the tomb first.
The passage is very dark and very long, and I don't know why there is some fog in the passage. Pengzi said: "It's too evil, there is fog. I have never seen fog in a tomb. Could it be poisonous?"
As he spoke, Boss Lu's voice suddenly yelled, "Someone is missing!"
When he shouted, everyone stopped, Boss Lu looked very panicked, and said, "There is something wrong with this tomb! The brat who was walking next to me just now is gone!"
When everyone heard "Maotou boy", isn't that Ziche, they all looked around to look for it, but it was gone, there was no sign of Ziche at all.
Shen Lin also yelled in surprise, and then said tremblingly: "Then... that Mr. Xue is gone too, just... just beside me just now... See, hell!"
Zi Che was following behind the team when suddenly someone touched his hand. It was Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue glanced to the side, Zi Che's heart skipped a beat and he disappeared into the mist.
Zi Che hesitated for a moment, then followed.
There was a mechanism in the mist, and Zi Che followed and entered an empty tomb. There was a coffin in the tomb. It should be a tomb for burial, but the coffin was open, but the inside was empty.
Zi Che walked in, didn't see anyone, and turned around in a circle, suddenly there was a sound of wind coming from his back, and before he had time to react, he was pushed out by someone and hit the empty coffin.
The gun in the driver's hand swung across, and he pushed it up suddenly, but his neck was already pressed against his neck at the same time. When he opened his eyes, it was Mr. Xue who pressed him on the coffin.
Zi Che's hand trembled, and he immediately put the gun away.
But Mr. Xue still pressed him on the open coffin, and pressed the gun against his neck, right on his wound.
Zi Che kept trembling, his face was pale from the pain of the wound.
Mr. Xue chuckled, but there was no gentleness and gentleman in his smile, and he said with a cold face: "Why, you have pretended enough, good boy, and you are starting to go against my will?"
Ziche trembled in pain, took two deep breaths, lowered his eyelids, and said, "I dare not."
"Don't you dare?"
Mr. Xue raised his voice and said with a sneer: "Don't you dare? I asked you to lead them down to the tomb, but you rushed to the heroic head and disrupted my plan. Your wings are hardened, and you think I can't bear to kill you?"
Ziche took another breath, and said with trembling lips, "I thought my adoptive father said that he wanted to lead them to the tomb, but I misunderstood."
Mr. Xue sneered and said, "It's not that you misunderstood, it's that you are becoming more and more disobedient to discipline, you have an idea, don't you? Who did you learn from? I taught you?"
Zi Che raised his eyelids and looked at him, but didn't speak any more, as if he was holding back something.
Mr. Xue said coldly: "Remember, I have never been reluctant to kill anyone, only people who should or should not be killed. If you refuse to obey discipline, why should I support you? Do you understand?"
Zi Che's throat slipped, his lips trembled desperately, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, he said, "I understand."
Mr. Xue put the gun away, changed his face as quickly as turning the pages of a book, and suddenly put on a gentle expression, helped Zi Che up, gently stroked his cheek, and said in a low voice: "Zi Che, don't you want to follow Yi? Father? Then complete this task well, and after this time, foster father will keep you by your side, okay?"
Zi Che didn't speak, but his heart felt cold.
Mr. Xue let him go, turned around, turned his back to him, and said, "Your mission this time is to get the other two bronze boxes. If you are kind, you can let them fend for themselves. You behaved well, and the others People don’t have to die, but remember, I want the life of Marquis Jing.”
Ziche was very disturbed and wanted to ask why, but he never got an answer. What was in the bronze box, why did his adoptive father want these bronze boxes, why did he look so similar to Wancheng Jinghou? And why do you want to kill Wanqi Jinghou...
Zi Che didn't say anything, and Mr. Xue didn't say anything more, he just said, "They're here."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Xue pressed some mechanism, which seemed to be very familiar, and disappeared into the tomb.
Zi Che sat slumped on the ground, and soon the stone wall of the tomb was opened, and a group of people came in from the outside, and when they saw Zi Che, they all said, "So you are here, but you just disappeared suddenly!"
Ziche adjusted his breathing, stood up, and said, "I didn't know what I bumped into just now, and I fell in all at once."
The others had no doubts and began to look around the tomb.
Wen Baiyu said in surprise, "Is there a coffin?"
Pengzi yelled, "It's not closed!"
Everyone immediately became alert, afraid that a zongzi would suddenly pop out of it.
Wan Cheng Jinghou walked over to have a look and said, "It's empty."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Boss Lu said, "Bah, it's empty, and there's nothing to be buried with."
Everyone walked around in the tomb, there was nothing valuable, at most a few jars, but the workmanship was very rough, and it was impossible to make money out of it, and it was too heavy to carry.
Wen Baiyu looked at the coffin in surprise, and said, "Huh? There's blood on the coffin?"
Ziche's heart skipped a beat, thinking that his blood had just fallen on the coffin, but when he looked back, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The blood was very dark in color and had dried up, not fresh blood.
At the mouth of the coffin, there were many traces of crowbars, and there was a lot of blood on it. The blood had turned black, and I don't know how long it has been.
Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be that someone was one step ahead of us and pried open the coffin?"
As soon as he said that, the rest of the people began to lament. It turned out that some people had already entered the palace. They entered the palace for the second time. No wonder there is no baby. Then this time, they will return empty-handed?
But Jinghou Wanqi said, "That's not right."
Pengzi's eyes lit up immediately, he looked at him hopefully, and said, "Master Jing, what are you talking about?"
Wan Teng Jinghou stretched out his hand to touch the prying marks, there were many marks in different shades, and there were bloodstains on them.
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "This is not the mark of the crowbar, it was scratched by hand, and there is blood on it."
Pengzi said in amazement: "Catch it?!"
Wen Baiyu said puzzled: "You mean, someone pried open this coffin with bare hands?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou nodded. Everyone thought that Wan Cheng Jinghou was crazy. How could this be possible? There were traces of nails on the lid of the coffin. How could such a tight coffin be pried open without tools?If you grab it with your hands, you have to catch it in the year of the monkey?
Wan Cheng Jinghou frowned and said: "He not only grabbed the coffin with his bare hands, but also dragged out the corpse inside. There should be a woman buried with her. According to the feng shui of this tomb, what should be hidden is something related to the owner of the tomb. blood-related people."
Everyone was even more puzzled. Even if Wan Cheng Jinghou was a god, it was impossible for him to see an empty coffin and know that it was hiding a woman.
Wen Baiyu probed for a closer look, and suddenly let out a "huh", and finally understood how Wan Cheng Jinghou knew it was a woman.
Pengzi also poked his head to look, and also said "Huh", then reached in and picked out a gem.
Boss Lu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the gemstone, it is a good thing, and it looks like an antique.
Pengzi said: "This... this gemstone belongs to that woman in the tomb just now. Look at the shape and color. It is exactly the same as the one just now. It fell from there!"
As soon as he said it, everyone understood that this was the coffin of the female corpse. The female corpse was buried here, but for some reason, someone pried open the coffin and dragged it out. Knock down such expensive gems.
From this point of view, it is definitely not a Tufuzi. Although many Tufuzi behave like bandits, they will definitely not be so careless. Who can make trouble with their own money?
Everyone was silent for a while, what is going on here, so many weird things happened in this so-called shipwreck grave.
Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be the zongzi who collected food, pried open the coffin, and then pulled the female corpse out to hoard it?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou nodded and said, "If the speculation is correct, then this is the only possibility."
Pengzi said: "Hand up your guns, that monster will rush out at some point."
The tomb was empty except for this coffin, so they had no choice but to continue walking to find another tomb. Moreover, these people came this time not purely for antique treasures, but for the secret of immortality. According to legend, this shipwreck tomb There is a treasure of eternal life in the cave, and if you find it, you can live forever, so even if you encounter difficulties before going down the cave, and get nothing after going down the cave, no one proposes to return.
Everyone continued to walk in, and soon came to another tomb. There were many steles in the tomb, which were very well preserved. The steles were entwined with something like a dragon. It was said to be a dragon. The image was very strange, maybe it was an unformed dragon. .
The dragon's body is very long, with a human face and a snake body, with one eye open and the other closed, and its mouth half-opened, holding something like a candle.
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Hey, why isn't this ever-burning lamp lit?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou shook his head and said, "This is not an ever-burning lamp."
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Then what is this?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "A human face with a snake body and a fire essence in its mouth. This is the earliest image of Zhu Jiuyin, also called Zhu Long."
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Ah, this is Candle Dragon?!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that they had found a treasure, and someone went up to check Candle Dragon's mouth. It was not a candle, but an exquisite gemstone.
There are many steles, erected one by one, all of which are entwined with candle dragons.
Wen Baiyu said: "Could this be the tomb where the sacrificial pit was dug?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "It should belong to the invaders."
As he spoke, he pointed to the stele. Everyone gathered around to look at it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was too old and the writing was not very advanced, so there were very few writings, and they were all rock paintings.
Although pictures are more imagery, they are always better than incomprehensible text.
After watching it for a long time, everyone felt that these petroglyphs were too messy to understand, and the order was very strange. No matter if they were viewed horizontally or vertically, or viewed from front to back, or from back to front, they felt that it was not a complete narrative. , but these words are obviously in a narrative style, and they couldn't find the law of reading for a while.
Zi Che looked it over, seemed to understand something, and frowned.
Boss Lu felt that he was deliberately pretending to understand, so he sneered disdainfully: "Say, what do you understand, you brat?"
Zi Che ignored him, just raised his hand, and pointed to the traces on the side of the stele. There was a character on the side of each stele, which looked like a code, but it was a pity that these codes were not Arabic numerals, seal script, or traditional characters. Know what it is, maybe it is the text of the ancient nation that has been lost.
Zi Che pointed to one and said, "This is the first one, this is the second one, and this is the third one..."
He pointed down one by one, everyone glanced at it roughly, they all looked at him in shock, and said, "You actually understand these words?"
Zi Che nodded and said, "I learned some before, but I can only understand the rough stuff."
Everyone couldn't believe Ziche's young age, and quickly browsed these petroglyphs.
According to Ziche's instructions, the first rock painting depicts an ancient nation. They kneel down to a stone tablet. It should be a totem. The totem is like what Wenbai saw before. It is a huge candle dragon. The totem has been corroded so badly that it can't be seen clearly at all, but the murals are very clear. This Candle Dragon stretches its teeth and claws, eyes open and eyes closed, with fire essence in its mouth, and its image is very mighty.
The second petroglyph shows someone negotiating with these people. The later people are tall, like nomads, wearing early armor, holding shields and spears in their hands, very brave, and these people are taller than the indigenous peoples. Much higher.
Wen Baiyu said: "This is an exaggeration, otherwise why would you look like a giant?"
The third picture is a scene of war. The invaders in armor were very brave. One against a hundred, they beat the indigenous people very brutally, captured many captives alive, and then pushed these captives into the sacrificial pit.
Wen Baiyu opened his eyes wide and said, "So those blood corpses are really captives."
The fourth picture is very strange. The captives were pushed into the hiding pit, and the dragon with the head of a man and the body of a snake climbed up from the hiding pit.
Pengzi shouted: "I know! These people are using captives as sacrifices. They should be aiming at Zhu Jiuyin, and they want to use living sacrifices to lure Zhu Jiuyin up."
Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be that they want to arrest Zhu Jiuyin? Why arrest him?"
Wan Teng Jinghou said: "Zhulong is the god of creation, and was regarded as a god by many ancient tribes. In addition to the powerful divine power of Zhujiuyin, Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also recorded, 'The sky is not as good as the northwest, and there is no news of yin and yang. Therefore, there is a dragon holding the fire essence to shine in the gate of heaven', the ancient ancestors endowed the candle dragon with a lot of supernatural powers, in addition to the creation of the world, there is also a legend about the fire essence's longevity."
Wen Baiyu said: "Looking at it this way, the reason why these people invaded here is to attract Zhulong to come up and ask for the fire essence of Zhulong?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Maybe."
Boss Lu said excitedly: "This picture shows the appearance of the candle dragon, so in other words, there is really an immortal fire spirit in this tomb?! It seems that we have not only made a fortune this time! It's great! "
In the fifth painting, these warriors did not get the fire essence, but a warlock was directly drawn in alchemy.Standing alone in front of the huge alchemy furnace, the movements of his hands are very mysterious, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
Wen Baiyu looked at the painting strangely, and said, "This person's appearance... seems familiar?"
Ziche was also a little shocked, as if he felt the familiarity, then he turned to the back of the stele to look at the text behind it, he was even more shocked, he stretched out his hand to touch the text, as if he hadn't recovered yet.
Seeing how shocked he was, Wen Baiyu said, "What's written on it?"
Ziche was still in a daze, Wen Baiyu yelled twice, the other party finally came to his senses, and said, "I don't know much, so I don't understand much."
Wen Baiyu raised his eyebrows, retracted behind the stele, and tugged Wan Qi Jinghou, making him bow his head.
Wan Cheng Jinghou lowered his head, and Wen Baiyu lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Why do I think Ziche's expression is weird?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou nodded and said, "I said earlier that although he told the truth, he kept a lot of it."
Wen Baiyu thought for a while and said, "He must also find the person on this painting familiar. Who is it?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou took a look and said, "It's very simple, he hasn't known us very long."
When Wen Baiyu was mentioned by him, he suddenly remembered that they met in Xiangxi, and they fought together only once. Wen Baiyu thought of the mural of the witch's tomb. The man in front of him was exactly the same as the one in the witch's tomb. He was Zi Che Sanliang who was buried with Duke Mu of Qin.
Wen Baiyu thought about it for a while, but felt that something was wrong, and said, "The age of Qin Mugong is a long time behind this tomb, right?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou raised his eyebrows and said: "They look similar, but they may not necessarily be the same person."
Wen Baiyu said: "Ah, blood relationship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Wan Qi Jinghou, and then looked at Zi Che behind the stele. Zi Che was still in a daze and didn't pay attention to Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu said to Wan Cheng Jinghou: "Then you also look alike, are you related by blood?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't think I have any relatives."
Wen Baiyu said: "What should it mean?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou laughed and said, "It's been too long, and I can't remember it."
Wen Baiyu seemed to understand but not understand.
Everyone began to look at the rock paintings below again, and the tomb was to be built below. The leader asked the soldiers to start building the tomb, as if knowing that his time had come, he built a very large underground tomb.
Below is a picture of the burials and living sacrifices. There are hundreds of people buried with them. In this era, it is considered a huge-scale burial. There are countless sacrifices. From the rock paintings, it can be seen that the tombs are absolutely rich. After so many years, the rich All the things of the enemy country have become antiques. If they are all dug up, they will have to worry about how to spend money for the rest of their lives!
Everyone's eyes glowed, and they began to be eager to try, revealing a greedy light.
Wen Baiyu said "Huh?" and said, "Look."
He dragged Wan Qi Jinghou to look over, and saw the last petroglyph, which was not a burial painting, but three boxes, and someone put three things into the three boxes.
Wen Baiyu lowered his voice and said, "Bronze box?"
Wan Qi Jinghou nodded.
Wen Baiyu said: "What exactly is in it? Is it just a decoration from Zhu Jiuyin?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou thought for a while, then suddenly chuckled and said, "I finally know."
Wen Baiyu said: "Know what?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "It turns out that the secret of longevity is not in this tomb at all."
Wen Baiyu was even more surprised, and said, "What happened?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "These three paragraphs should be the real fire essence of Zhulong."
Wen Baiyu stared at the petroglyph in amazement, he didn't know what to say anymore. No one can say what the fire essence of Zhulong is for. It is still a mystery whether it can live forever or have other functions. What the beast said seemed to be very powerful.
When Wen Baiyu heard this, he immediately thought that they had two, and there was one left, which was snatched away by Zi Che's adoptive father. If they got all three, wouldn't Tang Zi be saved!
But thinking of the last
Wan Cheng Jinghou shouted, and saw a bloody thing being pulled up from the entrance of the cave. The thing seemed to be still moving. Roar.
Boss Lu pulled the rope and was closest to the entrance of the cave. He didn't react at all. He was hit by the terrible thing and fell to the ground with a "plop", and then screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that it turned out to be a bloody rice dumpling, and he was holding a twisted hand in his hand. The rice dumpling bit Boss Lu's cheekbone with one bite.
Everyone was still in a daze, but Jinghou Wan had already fired his gun immediately, and fired two "bang bang" shots. Boss Lu only felt the rice dumpling biting his face, and then all the strength of his body was pressed on him, and he fell over all at once. .
"what!"
Boss Lu yelled in horror again, and then fell to the ground under the weight of the zongzi, his eyes wide open in horror, and he didn't dare to move.
Everyone waited for a long time, but when the zongzi did not move again, Boss Lu's thugs rushed over, threw the bloody zongzi away, and helped Boss Lu up.
Boss Lu had a big blood hole on his face, covering his face with blood on his hands, Wan Cheng Jinghou said indifferently: "Disinfect it quickly, there may be corpse poison."
Boss Lu panicked for a while, and hurriedly directed the others to take medicine from the backpack and disinfect himself.
Wen Baiyu said: "How could a bloody corpse be pulled out of this hole? What about the person who went in just now?"
Marquis Wan Tengjing raised his chin to indicate what was in the hands of the blood corpse, and everyone took a breath. The blood corpse held a human hand, which was twisted due to pain, and the posture of the fingers bent was very strange. Wearing a finger-wrench, it was the man who had entered the hole.
Looks like it's more ominous than good.
Boss Lu treated the wound, and several other people gathered together to discuss how to proceed.
Pengzi said: "This is too evil. Isn't there a group of people in front of us? Then how did they get down? Could it be that this robbery hole is just a cover to kill us here?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou didn't speak, but squatted down, looked down at the robbery hole, and gently rubbed the soil on the ground with his hands, looking thoughtful.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pengzi said, "I see, this road can't be walked. Let's dig one ourselves. It's near here anyway."
Shen Lin said: "Do you think it is possible that the robbery hole was dug into the funeral pit? That's why the zongzi climbed up from the robbery hole?"
When everyone heard this, they stopped talking.
No matter what, the zongzi here are so tough, it means that there are many tough zongzi underground, or clever mechanisms, they have already been recruited before they go to the tomb, one person died, one person was injured, this is really not Good start.
Moreover, these people all have different ideas, different schools, and different organizations. No one wants to go it alone, but currently they don't have the ability.
When Wen Baiyu saw Wan Cheng Jinghou's appearance, he knew that he must have discovered something, so he squatted beside him and said, "What are you looking at?"
Wan Teng Jinghou pointed to the robbery hole on the ground and said, "The shape of this robbery hole is very strange."
Wen Baiyu also took a closer look. Although he is not a professional, he can understand some things after watching too much. The burrows are either round or square, and the burrows are also very particular. Dig a robbery hole in the ground, and pay attention to strength, where to design it to avoid landslides.
However, this robbery hole looks very irregular, and the hole is like a sugar triangle.
Wan Cheng Jinghou raised three fingers and said: "First, this hole was not dug recently, it has been some years, and this year is quite long... Second, this hole is probably not dug with tools. "
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Didn't you dig it with tools? What does that mean? Could it be that you dug it with your hands?"
Wen Baiyu just asked casually, but Wan Qi Jinghou nodded his head in agreement.
Wen Baiyu was even more surprised, and said, "Did you really dig it by hand?"
He said, using a flashlight to illuminate the robbery hole, and said: "The flashlight can't penetrate such a deep hole. How could it be dug by hand? A person who digs a robbery hole must have much perseverance?"
After Wen Baiyu finished speaking, he said, "What about the third one?"
As he was talking, Pengzi also squatted down and said, "Master Jing, what did you find?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou ignored him and continued: "The third..."
He said, pointing to the soil in the robber's hole, and said: "This hole, according to the traces of digging, was not dug from the outside in."
Pengzi is also a professional in Taoism. His eyes widened when he saw it, and he said, "God, this is not a robbery hole, this is an escape hole. All the traces are from the inside out."
As he said, he also used the flashlight to shine a light on the escape hole, but he was not as lucky as Wen Baiyu, Pengzi immediately let out a "huh" when he took a light.
Wen Baiyu wanted to ask him what he saw, but Pengzi suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had discovered something, but he didn't seem to be able to see clearly. Pale in an instant.
"Ahhhh!"
Pengzi yelled and sat down on the ground, like a frightened child. His behavior caught everyone by surprise, and then they all burst out laughing.
Someone yelled: "Peng Zi, what are you doing!"
Pengzi suddenly got up on both hands and feet, and shouted: "Paralysis, something is crawling! Something is crawling! It's coming out!"
When Wen Baiyu heard this, he immediately looked towards the entrance of the cave, and was startled with fright. He stepped back and almost sat down on the ground, when he saw a big face protruding from the entrance of the cave.
The big blood-stained face, the eyes have shrunk so that it can't be seen, only the blood skin and skeleton frame are left, a piece of blood skin tightly wraps the skeleton, and there is a strange smile on the mouth.
The blood-skinned rice dumpling first stretched out its face, then stretched out a hand, grabbed the edge of the hole, and was about to crawl out.
The bloody rice dumpling reached out to grab Wen Baiyu's ankle, Wen Baiyu got nervous, raised his leg and kicked it wildly, and kicked the bloody rice dumpling back into the hole with a "thump".
Wen Baiyu was dumbfounded, and then ran back with hands and feet. The bloody rice dumpling was kicked in by Wen Baiyu, and soon crawled out again. Everyone immediately shouted: "Shoot! Shoot! Give him a shot! Mom! of!"
For a while there was the sound of gunfire, "bang, bang, bang" sounded more than ten times in a row, and the blood-skinned rice dumpling had already become a sieve, and fell to the ground with a "bang", motionless.
Wen Baiyu panted rapidly, still in shock from fright.
Pengzi came to his senses and said, "This...it's a waste of bullets. If this continues, we'll run out of bullets before we even enter the hole."
Shen Lin said: "Grandma, just throw the dynamite down and blow up these zongzi."
Boss Lu sneered and said, "That's right, the antiques inside are also broken."
Pengzi said: "We have all the tools we brought, how about we dig another hole, there is no need to fight this evil hole."
But Ziche shook his head and said, "That's not okay. I took a look at our dry rations. We crossed the forest and the desert and found the right way. It will take four days to get out. I'll keep a conservative estimate at the tomb. Two days of dry rations will be left. This calculation is not enough, we must save food, if we dig another hole, look at this hole, at least a dozen meters long, and we can’t use explosives, I’m afraid we won’t have the time.”
As soon as he spoke, the crowd fell silent again. It seemed that what he said made sense, and they fell into a stalemate.
Wan Chengjinghou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He picked up the backpack on the ground and said, "We don't have much time. This hole is probably connected to the funeral pit. I will lead, and you follow."
It is the safest thing to start with Wan Qi Jinghou, but it is so dangerous when you first enter the cave, and it will be even more dangerous later. Appropriate, but there is no other way.
Wen Baiyu tugged at Wan Cheng Jinghou, and said, "You..."
Before he finished speaking, Wan Cheng Jinghou said without thinking: "The weather is getting colder and colder."
Wen Baiyu immediately understood that the purpose of their visit this time was for Tang Zi, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was not long before winter, Tang Zi couldn't wait, if there was a glimmer of hope, no one would give up.
Wan Cheng Jinghou took out a dragon-scale dagger, tied it to his arm, tied a flashlight to his right hand, picked up a relatively small gun, which was convenient for attacking in the cave, and then stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down.
Wen Baiyu said, "Be careful."
Wan Cheng Jinghou patted him on the shoulder and said, "You follow behind, and be careful."
Wen Baiyu nodded.
At this moment, Ziche walked over suddenly, and said with a blank expression: "I'll start. This hole looks very narrow. It's inconvenient for you to start. I'll do it."
As soon as he said that, everyone was a little surprised. Although they had seen Zi Che's skills, this young man looked too young after all, and he was seriously injured just now, so he almost failed to save him, and he wanted to lead him.
Wan Cheng Jinghou glanced at him, but said nothing.
Ziche immediately got into the hole, and after a long time, there was no response, and there was no sound of retreating gunshots. Only then did everyone muster up their courage and get into the hole one after another.
The cave is indeed very narrow, so narrow that it feels oppressive and suffocating, and the walls of the cave are full of potholes. There is no supporting point for professional robbers, and many places have collapsed.
The strange thing is that the journey was safe and sound, and I didn't see any zongzi at all.
After climbing for a long time, they finally entered a stone room, and suddenly smelled a musty and pungent smell.
Wen Baiyu covered his nose and was about to vomit with nausea. This is indeed a funeral room, and it must be the funeral room of slaves.
Because there is no coffin in the stone chamber, not even a large cauldron for sacrifices, there are corpses piled all over the ground, all of which have turned into bones due to age, and several corpses are mummified corpses, which seem to be very likely to be corpses .
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, dizzy from the pungent smell.
Pengzi said: "Let's go quickly, this place is evil, there are so many corpses, the smell of corpses is too strong, if there are corpses together, our gun seeds will not be enough!"
As soon as he said it, everyone blamed him for his crow's mouth, saying that it was not good to say anything, but insisted on talking about the corpse.
Wan Cheng Jinghou frowned, and suddenly said, "That's not right."
What everyone was most afraid of was that he said "wrong", because Wan Qi Jinghou had become their leader, and everyone watched Wan Qi Jinghou's actions, and when he frowned, everyone trembled in fear.
Pengzi said nervously, "Master Jing, what's wrong?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou actually walked over a few steps and carefully looked at the piles of corpses on the ground.
Wen Baiyu was so nervous that he was dying, this place is too evil, there are so many corpses piled up horizontally and vertically, there is no arrangement and combination at all, it is better to say it is a mass burial if it is said to be buried with him.
Wan Qi Jinghou looked at those bones for a long time, and felt terrified when he got home for a long time, and felt more and more wrong.
Wen Baiyu moved over, tugged at him, and said, "What's the matter?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "There are too many things that are wrong."
He said, thought for a while, and said: "If this is an escape route, then why did the craftsmen find a burial pit as an escape route? It is not right to dig such a long passage in the place where it is located.”
As soon as he said it, everyone felt that it made sense, and their hairs immediately stood on end.
Wan Teng Jinghou said again: "There is still something wrong...these bones are scattered in disorder, and there is no pattern. At first glance, I think they are slaves who were buried, or craftsmen who were locked in the tomb..."
He pointed to one of the corpses. The corpse had already turned into bones, but it was obvious that he was wearing a jewelry necklace around his neck, and this specification looked very precious, and it was definitely an antique that could sell for a good price.
Boss Lu's eyes lit up immediately.
But I heard Wan Qi Jinghou continue to say: "Slaves will not be buried with sacrifices. This is obviously not a slave."
Pengzi said, "A prisoner of war?!"
Wan Teng Jinghou shook his head, pointed to the pelvis of Baigu, and said: "The pelvis is wide and short, the pelvis wall is smooth, and the mouth is oval and wider..."
Zi Che suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "This is a woman."
As soon as he said it, everyone was even more puzzled. Could it be that men and women were not buried separately in this nation?
Wen Baiyu was also puzzled, it really was a chaotic hiding place, there were slaves, prisoners of war and even women wearing precious jewels, what was going on, it was getting more and more chaotic.
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "The most important point is wrong."
As he spoke, he pointed to the woman's shoulder blade, which had a very obvious scar.
Wen Baiyu said in surprise, "Huh? Are these...tooth marks?"
Pengzi laughed dryly and said, "This bitch is too good at playing, isn't she?"
Boss Lu slapped him across the face and said, "Say the fuck did that and bit the bone!?"
Wen Baiyu shivered for a while, and Wan Cheng Jinghou said lightly: "I don't think this is a burial pit."
Pengzi said, "Master Jing, what do you think this is?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou's voice was still faint, and said: "It's like a refrigerator, which piles up all the things that can't be eaten at once."
eat... no... finish...
This time everyone was shivering. This hypothesis is really terrifying. If the hypothesis is true, that is to say, there is a very powerful big rice dumpling in this tomb. The corpses of the [-]s, living people like them, will undoubtedly become delicious and the freshest food after they go to the tomb...
Shen Lin said tremblingly, "What should I do?"
Pengzi said: "What to do, let's go quickly, don't wait for these corpses..."
Before he could finish the word "raise the corpse", he heard a soft sound of "slightly...".
Pengzi trembled and said, "Who is laughing?"
There was another "crack", this time everyone heard it clearly, it wasn't someone laughing at all, but the sound from those corpses.
Suddenly the mountain where the corpses piled up arched, and a skinned mummy suddenly sat up from the corpse mountain.
Pengzi yelled: "Paralyzed, he's dead! Hurry up and hit him!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fired three shots himself, "Bang bang bang!" Then the others followed suit, and the corpses came together, and their arms and legs were shot flying all over the place.
They breathed a sigh of relief after they finished the fight, but then they thought that such a surprise would be too much of a waste of bullets.
Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go quickly."
Wan Teng Jinghou nodded, grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand, and walked out of the tomb first.
The passage is very dark and very long, and I don't know why there is some fog in the passage. Pengzi said: "It's too evil, there is fog. I have never seen fog in a tomb. Could it be poisonous?"
As he spoke, Boss Lu's voice suddenly yelled, "Someone is missing!"
When he shouted, everyone stopped, Boss Lu looked very panicked, and said, "There is something wrong with this tomb! The brat who was walking next to me just now is gone!"
When everyone heard "Maotou boy", isn't that Ziche, they all looked around to look for it, but it was gone, there was no sign of Ziche at all.
Shen Lin also yelled in surprise, and then said tremblingly: "Then... that Mr. Xue is gone too, just... just beside me just now... See, hell!"
Zi Che was following behind the team when suddenly someone touched his hand. It was Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue glanced to the side, Zi Che's heart skipped a beat and he disappeared into the mist.
Zi Che hesitated for a moment, then followed.
There was a mechanism in the mist, and Zi Che followed and entered an empty tomb. There was a coffin in the tomb. It should be a tomb for burial, but the coffin was open, but the inside was empty.
Zi Che walked in, didn't see anyone, and turned around in a circle, suddenly there was a sound of wind coming from his back, and before he had time to react, he was pushed out by someone and hit the empty coffin.
The gun in the driver's hand swung across, and he pushed it up suddenly, but his neck was already pressed against his neck at the same time. When he opened his eyes, it was Mr. Xue who pressed him on the coffin.
Zi Che's hand trembled, and he immediately put the gun away.
But Mr. Xue still pressed him on the open coffin, and pressed the gun against his neck, right on his wound.
Zi Che kept trembling, his face was pale from the pain of the wound.
Mr. Xue chuckled, but there was no gentleness and gentleman in his smile, and he said with a cold face: "Why, you have pretended enough, good boy, and you are starting to go against my will?"
Ziche trembled in pain, took two deep breaths, lowered his eyelids, and said, "I dare not."
"Don't you dare?"
Mr. Xue raised his voice and said with a sneer: "Don't you dare? I asked you to lead them down to the tomb, but you rushed to the heroic head and disrupted my plan. Your wings are hardened, and you think I can't bear to kill you?"
Ziche took another breath, and said with trembling lips, "I thought my adoptive father said that he wanted to lead them to the tomb, but I misunderstood."
Mr. Xue sneered and said, "It's not that you misunderstood, it's that you are becoming more and more disobedient to discipline, you have an idea, don't you? Who did you learn from? I taught you?"
Zi Che raised his eyelids and looked at him, but didn't speak any more, as if he was holding back something.
Mr. Xue said coldly: "Remember, I have never been reluctant to kill anyone, only people who should or should not be killed. If you refuse to obey discipline, why should I support you? Do you understand?"
Zi Che's throat slipped, his lips trembled desperately, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, he said, "I understand."
Mr. Xue put the gun away, changed his face as quickly as turning the pages of a book, and suddenly put on a gentle expression, helped Zi Che up, gently stroked his cheek, and said in a low voice: "Zi Che, don't you want to follow Yi? Father? Then complete this task well, and after this time, foster father will keep you by your side, okay?"
Zi Che didn't speak, but his heart felt cold.
Mr. Xue let him go, turned around, turned his back to him, and said, "Your mission this time is to get the other two bronze boxes. If you are kind, you can let them fend for themselves. You behaved well, and the others People don’t have to die, but remember, I want the life of Marquis Jing.”
Ziche was very disturbed and wanted to ask why, but he never got an answer. What was in the bronze box, why did his adoptive father want these bronze boxes, why did he look so similar to Wancheng Jinghou? And why do you want to kill Wanqi Jinghou...
Zi Che didn't say anything, and Mr. Xue didn't say anything more, he just said, "They're here."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Xue pressed some mechanism, which seemed to be very familiar, and disappeared into the tomb.
Zi Che sat slumped on the ground, and soon the stone wall of the tomb was opened, and a group of people came in from the outside, and when they saw Zi Che, they all said, "So you are here, but you just disappeared suddenly!"
Ziche adjusted his breathing, stood up, and said, "I didn't know what I bumped into just now, and I fell in all at once."
The others had no doubts and began to look around the tomb.
Wen Baiyu said in surprise, "Is there a coffin?"
Pengzi yelled, "It's not closed!"
Everyone immediately became alert, afraid that a zongzi would suddenly pop out of it.
Wan Cheng Jinghou walked over to have a look and said, "It's empty."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Boss Lu said, "Bah, it's empty, and there's nothing to be buried with."
Everyone walked around in the tomb, there was nothing valuable, at most a few jars, but the workmanship was very rough, and it was impossible to make money out of it, and it was too heavy to carry.
Wen Baiyu looked at the coffin in surprise, and said, "Huh? There's blood on the coffin?"
Ziche's heart skipped a beat, thinking that his blood had just fallen on the coffin, but when he looked back, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The blood was very dark in color and had dried up, not fresh blood.
At the mouth of the coffin, there were many traces of crowbars, and there was a lot of blood on it. The blood had turned black, and I don't know how long it has been.
Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be that someone was one step ahead of us and pried open the coffin?"
As soon as he said that, the rest of the people began to lament. It turned out that some people had already entered the palace. They entered the palace for the second time. No wonder there is no baby. Then this time, they will return empty-handed?
But Jinghou Wanqi said, "That's not right."
Pengzi's eyes lit up immediately, he looked at him hopefully, and said, "Master Jing, what are you talking about?"
Wan Teng Jinghou stretched out his hand to touch the prying marks, there were many marks in different shades, and there were bloodstains on them.
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "This is not the mark of the crowbar, it was scratched by hand, and there is blood on it."
Pengzi said in amazement: "Catch it?!"
Wen Baiyu said puzzled: "You mean, someone pried open this coffin with bare hands?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou nodded. Everyone thought that Wan Cheng Jinghou was crazy. How could this be possible? There were traces of nails on the lid of the coffin. How could such a tight coffin be pried open without tools?If you grab it with your hands, you have to catch it in the year of the monkey?
Wan Cheng Jinghou frowned and said: "He not only grabbed the coffin with his bare hands, but also dragged out the corpse inside. There should be a woman buried with her. According to the feng shui of this tomb, what should be hidden is something related to the owner of the tomb. blood-related people."
Everyone was even more puzzled. Even if Wan Cheng Jinghou was a god, it was impossible for him to see an empty coffin and know that it was hiding a woman.
Wen Baiyu probed for a closer look, and suddenly let out a "huh", and finally understood how Wan Cheng Jinghou knew it was a woman.
Pengzi also poked his head to look, and also said "Huh", then reached in and picked out a gem.
Boss Lu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the gemstone, it is a good thing, and it looks like an antique.
Pengzi said: "This... this gemstone belongs to that woman in the tomb just now. Look at the shape and color. It is exactly the same as the one just now. It fell from there!"
As soon as he said it, everyone understood that this was the coffin of the female corpse. The female corpse was buried here, but for some reason, someone pried open the coffin and dragged it out. Knock down such expensive gems.
From this point of view, it is definitely not a Tufuzi. Although many Tufuzi behave like bandits, they will definitely not be so careless. Who can make trouble with their own money?
Everyone was silent for a while, what is going on here, so many weird things happened in this so-called shipwreck grave.
Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be the zongzi who collected food, pried open the coffin, and then pulled the female corpse out to hoard it?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou nodded and said, "If the speculation is correct, then this is the only possibility."
Pengzi said: "Hand up your guns, that monster will rush out at some point."
The tomb was empty except for this coffin, so they had no choice but to continue walking to find another tomb. Moreover, these people came this time not purely for antique treasures, but for the secret of immortality. According to legend, this shipwreck tomb There is a treasure of eternal life in the cave, and if you find it, you can live forever, so even if you encounter difficulties before going down the cave, and get nothing after going down the cave, no one proposes to return.
Everyone continued to walk in, and soon came to another tomb. There were many steles in the tomb, which were very well preserved. The steles were entwined with something like a dragon. It was said to be a dragon. The image was very strange, maybe it was an unformed dragon. .
The dragon's body is very long, with a human face and a snake body, with one eye open and the other closed, and its mouth half-opened, holding something like a candle.
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Hey, why isn't this ever-burning lamp lit?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou shook his head and said, "This is not an ever-burning lamp."
Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Then what is this?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "A human face with a snake body and a fire essence in its mouth. This is the earliest image of Zhu Jiuyin, also called Zhu Long."
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Ah, this is Candle Dragon?!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that they had found a treasure, and someone went up to check Candle Dragon's mouth. It was not a candle, but an exquisite gemstone.
There are many steles, erected one by one, all of which are entwined with candle dragons.
Wen Baiyu said: "Could this be the tomb where the sacrificial pit was dug?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "It should belong to the invaders."
As he spoke, he pointed to the stele. Everyone gathered around to look at it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was too old and the writing was not very advanced, so there were very few writings, and they were all rock paintings.
Although pictures are more imagery, they are always better than incomprehensible text.
After watching it for a long time, everyone felt that these petroglyphs were too messy to understand, and the order was very strange. No matter if they were viewed horizontally or vertically, or viewed from front to back, or from back to front, they felt that it was not a complete narrative. , but these words are obviously in a narrative style, and they couldn't find the law of reading for a while.
Zi Che looked it over, seemed to understand something, and frowned.
Boss Lu felt that he was deliberately pretending to understand, so he sneered disdainfully: "Say, what do you understand, you brat?"
Zi Che ignored him, just raised his hand, and pointed to the traces on the side of the stele. There was a character on the side of each stele, which looked like a code, but it was a pity that these codes were not Arabic numerals, seal script, or traditional characters. Know what it is, maybe it is the text of the ancient nation that has been lost.
Zi Che pointed to one and said, "This is the first one, this is the second one, and this is the third one..."
He pointed down one by one, everyone glanced at it roughly, they all looked at him in shock, and said, "You actually understand these words?"
Zi Che nodded and said, "I learned some before, but I can only understand the rough stuff."
Everyone couldn't believe Ziche's young age, and quickly browsed these petroglyphs.
According to Ziche's instructions, the first rock painting depicts an ancient nation. They kneel down to a stone tablet. It should be a totem. The totem is like what Wenbai saw before. It is a huge candle dragon. The totem has been corroded so badly that it can't be seen clearly at all, but the murals are very clear. This Candle Dragon stretches its teeth and claws, eyes open and eyes closed, with fire essence in its mouth, and its image is very mighty.
The second petroglyph shows someone negotiating with these people. The later people are tall, like nomads, wearing early armor, holding shields and spears in their hands, very brave, and these people are taller than the indigenous peoples. Much higher.
Wen Baiyu said: "This is an exaggeration, otherwise why would you look like a giant?"
The third picture is a scene of war. The invaders in armor were very brave. One against a hundred, they beat the indigenous people very brutally, captured many captives alive, and then pushed these captives into the sacrificial pit.
Wen Baiyu opened his eyes wide and said, "So those blood corpses are really captives."
The fourth picture is very strange. The captives were pushed into the hiding pit, and the dragon with the head of a man and the body of a snake climbed up from the hiding pit.
Pengzi shouted: "I know! These people are using captives as sacrifices. They should be aiming at Zhu Jiuyin, and they want to use living sacrifices to lure Zhu Jiuyin up."
Wen Baiyu said: "Could it be that they want to arrest Zhu Jiuyin? Why arrest him?"
Wan Teng Jinghou said: "Zhulong is the god of creation, and was regarded as a god by many ancient tribes. In addition to the powerful divine power of Zhujiuyin, Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also recorded, 'The sky is not as good as the northwest, and there is no news of yin and yang. Therefore, there is a dragon holding the fire essence to shine in the gate of heaven', the ancient ancestors endowed the candle dragon with a lot of supernatural powers, in addition to the creation of the world, there is also a legend about the fire essence's longevity."
Wen Baiyu said: "Looking at it this way, the reason why these people invaded here is to attract Zhulong to come up and ask for the fire essence of Zhulong?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Maybe."
Boss Lu said excitedly: "This picture shows the appearance of the candle dragon, so in other words, there is really an immortal fire spirit in this tomb?! It seems that we have not only made a fortune this time! It's great! "
In the fifth painting, these warriors did not get the fire essence, but a warlock was directly drawn in alchemy.Standing alone in front of the huge alchemy furnace, the movements of his hands are very mysterious, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
Wen Baiyu looked at the painting strangely, and said, "This person's appearance... seems familiar?"
Ziche was also a little shocked, as if he felt the familiarity, then he turned to the back of the stele to look at the text behind it, he was even more shocked, he stretched out his hand to touch the text, as if he hadn't recovered yet.
Seeing how shocked he was, Wen Baiyu said, "What's written on it?"
Ziche was still in a daze, Wen Baiyu yelled twice, the other party finally came to his senses, and said, "I don't know much, so I don't understand much."
Wen Baiyu raised his eyebrows, retracted behind the stele, and tugged Wan Qi Jinghou, making him bow his head.
Wan Cheng Jinghou lowered his head, and Wen Baiyu lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Why do I think Ziche's expression is weird?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou nodded and said, "I said earlier that although he told the truth, he kept a lot of it."
Wen Baiyu thought for a while and said, "He must also find the person on this painting familiar. Who is it?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou took a look and said, "It's very simple, he hasn't known us very long."
When Wen Baiyu was mentioned by him, he suddenly remembered that they met in Xiangxi, and they fought together only once. Wen Baiyu thought of the mural of the witch's tomb. The man in front of him was exactly the same as the one in the witch's tomb. He was Zi Che Sanliang who was buried with Duke Mu of Qin.
Wen Baiyu thought about it for a while, but felt that something was wrong, and said, "The age of Qin Mugong is a long time behind this tomb, right?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou raised his eyebrows and said: "They look similar, but they may not necessarily be the same person."
Wen Baiyu said: "Ah, blood relationship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Wan Qi Jinghou, and then looked at Zi Che behind the stele. Zi Che was still in a daze and didn't pay attention to Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu said to Wan Cheng Jinghou: "Then you also look alike, are you related by blood?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't think I have any relatives."
Wen Baiyu said: "What should it mean?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou laughed and said, "It's been too long, and I can't remember it."
Wen Baiyu seemed to understand but not understand.
Everyone began to look at the rock paintings below again, and the tomb was to be built below. The leader asked the soldiers to start building the tomb, as if knowing that his time had come, he built a very large underground tomb.
Below is a picture of the burials and living sacrifices. There are hundreds of people buried with them. In this era, it is considered a huge-scale burial. There are countless sacrifices. From the rock paintings, it can be seen that the tombs are absolutely rich. After so many years, the rich All the things of the enemy country have become antiques. If they are all dug up, they will have to worry about how to spend money for the rest of their lives!
Everyone's eyes glowed, and they began to be eager to try, revealing a greedy light.
Wen Baiyu said "Huh?" and said, "Look."
He dragged Wan Qi Jinghou to look over, and saw the last petroglyph, which was not a burial painting, but three boxes, and someone put three things into the three boxes.
Wen Baiyu lowered his voice and said, "Bronze box?"
Wan Qi Jinghou nodded.
Wen Baiyu said: "What exactly is in it? Is it just a decoration from Zhu Jiuyin?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou thought for a while, then suddenly chuckled and said, "I finally know."
Wen Baiyu said: "Know what?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "It turns out that the secret of longevity is not in this tomb at all."
Wen Baiyu was even more surprised, and said, "What happened?"
Wan Cheng Jinghou said: "These three paragraphs should be the real fire essence of Zhulong."
Wen Baiyu stared at the petroglyph in amazement, he didn't know what to say anymore. No one can say what the fire essence of Zhulong is for. It is still a mystery whether it can live forever or have other functions. What the beast said seemed to be very powerful.
When Wen Baiyu heard this, he immediately thought that they had two, and there was one left, which was snatched away by Zi Che's adoptive father. If they got all three, wouldn't Tang Zi be saved!
But thinking of the last
