Tomb

Zhao Xiang went over and patted Qin Yan's back again, "Shut up! It's a bad idea now, why didn't you say it just now?"

Qin Yan has never been beaten like this since he was a child, his eyes were red with anger, "You!"

"What are you! Isn't it because you have nothing to come here at night, or can everyone stay here?"

Liang Bin couldn't stand their fuss, so he said, "Okay, don't talk about it, everything has come to this point, and it's no use blaming anyone. At this time, everyone should quickly find a way to get out. What's the use of arguing."

After speaking, he walked to Gu Mu's side, "What do you think?"

"Since it's here, it's safe." Gu Mu said, picking up the flashlight and walking into the passage first, the light here is very weak, and it's already pretty good to rely on the battery to support it, especially the brightness of the flashlight doesn't wear much at all. Penetration, it appears vague and unclear when it shines on the object.

The people behind followed closely, and the light of the three flashlights flickered. Gu Mu pondered the place as he walked. If he only looked at the passage, there was nothing unusual. When he touched the wall, he found that the soil on the wall was very hard and It's not that sticky. It stands to reason that the soil here is so humid, and the soil is also stained with water. If it is squeezed together, it can stick together a little bit, but it is not here. Even if it is wet, the soil is more like sand. Do not stick together.

Gu Mu stopped, took out the knife from his pocket, dug a piece from the wall, held it in his hand, and let go of it again, the whole piece of soil just now was broken into pieces.

Liang Bin was stunned when he saw it, "Isn't this soil?" He touched the broken bits as he spoke.

"I don't know." Gu Mu said, the light from the flashlight is really not good, and he doesn't know what kind of substance is inside, but at least he knows that this is definitely not ordinary soil, and there may be other things in it, thinking about taking it out A piece of paper, dug out another piece, wrapped it and put it in the backpack.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted from behind, "No, there is something in this passage!" It was Wang Hao who spoke, and several people surrounded him, and saw that he also dug out a piece of soil, and the piece of soil that had been dug out was inside the wall. , but extremely hard.Gu Mu poked it with the tip of a knife, and it was indeed very hard, and obviously, it was something like iron, but not a mineral.

"My God, what the hell is this place?" Qin Yan exclaimed annoyed.

"Coal mine, do you think this is an abandoned mine? I think it's a big possibility." Li Liang said with some anxiety.

No one spoke, everyone had their own thoughts, Gu Mu withdrew his knife, "Go on."

After they walked forward for a while, they found that there was no way, and a wall blocked it. This place was dug squarely and very neatly, as if it was deliberately made this way. Gu Mu did not believe that the excavator of this place People, stop digging here, touch the wall in front of you, it is the same as the surroundings, it is such a soil, it will fall down when you touch it.

"This should be a door." Liang Bin said. After rubbing his fingers against the wall for a long time, the layer of soil fell off, revealing what was inside. It was painted later to prevent others from entering.

Several people were silent. What is there in the hole that made others take so much trouble to cover it? If the soil was put in later, it proves that the hole they are in now was also dug later.

"I think, it's better for us to find a way to get out from above, and we will definitely not get through here." Qin Yan whispered, he is different from these people, he is very afraid of death, and what happened just now is enough to scare him out of his wits That's right, looking at the wall in front of me again, I feel very bad, something must happen.

Gu Mu turned his head to look at him, and then looked at the others, "I suspect this is a tomb. There must be something I don't know about it. If you want to go in, please help me clean up the soil on it. If you don't want to enter, you can leave it behind." Here, you guys find a way to get out on your own." After speaking, he scraped the dirt on the door with a knife.

The others were all looking at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment. The place where they fell just now was at least 10 meters away. Even if they were eight arhats, they had to be prepared to crush one of them to death, and they might not be able to go up. , and there is nothing to step on around, and it is unrealistic to climb up.

Seeing that Gu Mu had made up his mind to go in, Liang Bin scraped along with him. The others nodded and started to work hard. Qin Yan didn't expect these people to be so courageous, so he was a little anxious, "You really don't want to go in." dead."

No one paid any attention to him, and soon a stone door appeared in front of them, very hard, due to long-term storage, the original color could no longer be seen, but there were a few large characters engraved on it, which were different from the current Chinese characters, very complicated, Gu Mu frowned and read for a long time before he understood one word, 'high'.

"Which of you can understand?" Liang Bin asked the people behind. Although they all majored in archaeology, the things in the school are good enough for the meal, not to mention that the writing is very limited. Such a profound thing, I am afraid that their instructors will not know it.

Several people shook their heads after watching it for a long time, Li Liang touched the word, "Is this a son?"

"Son? Could it be Han Zigao?" Liang Bin laughed.

Fortunately, he can still laugh at this time. Gu Mu felt that the first word didn't look like Han, so he didn't say anything. The stone door was very heavy. He tried for a long time, but he didn't move the slightest. I used all my strength, but still didn't respond at all.

"It must be a mechanism again. The ancients loved to play with this thing. Look around to see if there is a switch or something like that." Liang Bin said. With the experience of operating the mechanism for the first time, Liang Bin specially felt the protrusions or recessed places. .

Gu Mu has been looking at the door. Except for the three characters in the middle, there is a row of characters on the lower right foot, and the top of the row of characters has a shape similar to a crescent moon, which is very similar to the birthmark on his body. In the past, draw along the edge of the crescent moon, and when the circle is over, the stone door makes a booming sound, the sound is so loud that even the ground trembles a few times, and several people subconsciously cover their ears.

Then I saw the huge and heavy stone door open little by little, and the soil on the wall fell down together. After a while, the stone door was fully opened, and the inside was pitch black. The smell rushed out violently, and the few people who choked almost couldn't breathe.

"Damn it! What kind of smell is this!!" Zhao Xiang cursed while pinching his nose.

"Moldy smell, cough cough, it may be that the inside has not been in contact with the outside air for a long time, and the inside is damp, and the funerary objects are moldy." Li Liang said, holding his nose and speaking in a strange voice.

"Nonsense, the musty smell is like this, it's his..." Liang Bin covered his nose and said nothing. Anyway, the smell is definitely more than just a musty smell. When I open the nose, the smell has dissipated a lot, but it is still very strong, which makes people a little suffocating.

In the tomb under Gu Mu, I have also met someone with this smell. Although it is similar, it is much worse. Compared with the one here, it is really nothing. This smell is not something that people can bear. I was almost out of breath.

"It's a rotting corpse." Scorpion walked up to them at some point, squinting his eyes and whispering.

His words were like a bomb, and it exploded immediately, "No way, if it smells like rotting corpses, it proves that the people inside have not died long ago, and the corpses haven't finished decomposing yet."

"And how could the rotten corpse have such a strong smell? If this is a rotten corpse, how many corpses must there be?"

Gu Mu thought for a while, "It is possible that the air inside is isolated from the outside. Judging from the traces of this tomb, it has been hundreds of years at least. With the addition of moisture, the taste will definitely not be good."

As he said that, he had already stepped in. Although Qin Yan didn't want to follow, but when he saw him at last, and he didn't prepare any lighting, the crowd rushed in too in fright.

Everyone covered their noses. After entering, the light from the flashlight was even weaker. Gu Mu asked, "Who brought a miner's lamp?"

Liang Bin smiled, "You should ask who didn't bring it." The miner's lamp is a must for coming down, and you have to take it with you, who knows what it will be like next.

He took the miner's lamp brought by Liang Bin and put it on his head. After turning it on, his eyes immediately became clear, and everyone was stunned by everything in front of him.

"This... this is..." He was so shocked that he could hardly speak, and even Gu Mu was a little dumbfounded.

Right in front is a place similar to a hall, which leads to other places in the middle. On both sides of the passage, there are two coffins, which are close to the wall. I don’t know what the texture of the coffins is. They haven’t decayed yet, and they are straight. Just standing upright like that, although the skin has been dilapidated, there is no problem with the overall structure.

In front of the two coffins, there are two large bronze vats, which are 1 meters high. Several people dare not act rashly, who knows what is inside.

Li Liang tugged at Liang Bin, "Captain, what era is this burial custom, why are there still such..."

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before." Just because of the arrangement of the coffin, it doesn't conform to the rules of burials. After death, people are put in the coffin and lie flat, which also implies the rest of the dead. And these two coffins are placed vertically, and the deceased inside should also be standing. Looking at the placement, the two sides of the passage are a bit guarded.

Scorpion walked to one of the coffins, looked up and down, and reached out to touch it, but Gu Mu hurriedly stopped him, "It's better not to touch it."

Scorpion glanced at him, then withdrew his hand, and said, "This coffin should have been nailed to the wall, otherwise it was so tightly attached, plus the weight of the dead in the coffin, it would have collapsed long ago."

"It seems that the owner of the tomb is a very prestigious person. Judging from the structure of the cemetery alone, this cemetery is not small. Could it be that Han Zigao really belonged to it?" Liang Bin said this sentence suddenly.

Wang Hao immediately blocked his mouth, "How could it be Han Zigao's? He was executed and has no descendants. He was probably thrown in a barren mountain. Who will build a tomb for him?"

"You can't say that. Han Zigao was also a general before he was alive. Since he was a military general and a high official, he might have made preparations for his death while he was alive. He built these achievements himself." Liang Bin retorted. , and turned around in front of the two large bronze vats with great interest. "Actually, I'm more curious about what's inside. If the meaning of these two coffins is to guard the tomb and protect the Lord, then I really can't think of these two tanks."

Gu Mu looked at these things and felt that it was not simple. There are only these four things in such a large hall, which must have other meanings, "No matter what things are installed, we'd better not move them. The important thing is to find the exit, I came in such a hurry that I didn’t even bring much to eat, it’s better to leave before I eat up.”

As soon as he reminded them, everyone started to check how much food they had brought. Most of them were compressed biscuits, and the better ones were canned luncheon meat. .

"Let's go." After packing up their things, several people walked into the passage carefully, and then when no one expected it, they heard a loud bang.

"Ah!!!!" A scream frightened the people in front to turn their heads quickly, and saw Qin Yan sitting on the ground screaming and moving back, his eyes fixed on the ground, Liang Bin hurriedly ran over to pull Qin Yan up Yan, looking at the place again, almost spit out.

The coffin lid fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces, and the corpse inside also fell out. The clothes were already tattered, the whole body was emitting a stench, and there were moths crawling around on the body.

Qin Yan squinted his eyes and gasped hard, his face turned pale, and the timid ones quickly turned their heads. After being shocked, Gu Mu looked at the corpse again, and found something different.

He leaned over and kept a proper distance, "This person should have been dead not long ago, about half a month or so."

Liang Bin wanted to push Qin Yan away, but his whole body was so weak that he couldn't stand up. He could only turn his head and ask, "Do you mean that this corpse is not from the original coffin at all?"

Gu Mu didn't speak, but turned to the other side, pointed at another coffin, raised it with a kick, and the few people who were frightened didn't even have time to stop, and there was another sound. After the coffin lid fell, it turned out to be empty inside. Yes, nothing at all.

Liang Bin frowned, "Is there nothing in it? Is it empty?"

"No, look here, so there is a corpse inside." Scorpion walked over and pointed to the human-like shape on the coffin, which should be the trace left by the moisture of the corpse for a long time.

"Then why is there nothing now? And if the person who died was not the person in the original coffin, then who was he? How could he be in the coffin?" Li Liang asked.

Gu Mu looked at Xiezi, he felt that this person was very unusual, he could appear so calm when encountering such a thing, much calmer than him, and could even make a normal judgment.

Scorpion noticed that Gu Mu was looking at him, so he just smiled and said, "Run away."

"Run away? Are you kidding me? How do dead people run away? And they have been dead for hundreds of years, maybe even thousands of years?" Li Liang glared at him, their nerves couldn't hold back at this moment.

"Then tell me, why is it gone?" Scorpion leaned against the wall and smiled, looking a bit cold, Li Liang opened his mouth and didn't speak.

"If my guess is correct, this corpse should have been turned upside down." Gu Mu said, turning his head to find several people staring at him with big eyes and small eyes. He also expressed helplessness, "Don't tell me you I don’t know anything, there might be zongzi inside, alive.” After speaking, he turned to look at Liang Bin, “Do you still remember what the old lady told us yesterday?”

Liang Bin nodded, "Of course I remember, she said that there is a tomb that is thousands of years old."

"I think now, we are in that tomb. She also said that many people who were inverted have been here, and very few have been able to get out. It seems that this one belongs to the very one. "Gu Mu stopped looking at the corpse. "Then we have to be careful, this time I really don't know what's going to happen in front of me."

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard a humming in the sky. It was very quiet at first, like the sound of wind, and gradually became louder, like the sound of water turning. At this time, everyone could hear it clearly.

Several people looked at the two big vats next to them unconsciously. They felt that it was coming from one of them, but they didn't know which one. Gu Mu suddenly shouted, "Run!" Then he pulled Liang Bin's The wrist rushed forward.
