Chapter 22 Chapter 21 The Rebel General

It was really luck to be able to open the door of the main tomb.For such a solid ancient tomb, if you don't walk through the main entrance, you must use blasting methods.But if blasting is used, the tomb will be destroyed, causing a collapse. At this time, Liu Ge's mind slowly regained consciousness, and I felt relieved when I saw it.But Liu Ge didn't sleep during the day, and now he looks very sleepy.After everyone entered the tomb, the tomb door was slowly closed.The fourth uncle shone the light on the wall next to the exit of the tomb, and saw a raised stone on the wall.The fourth uncle twisted the stone, and the door of the tomb swung open.A stone fell in everyone's heart, thinking that fortunately there is a mechanism.

Now everyone has only one lighting lamp in their hands, and the lighting range is relatively limited.Through the lighting, it can be seen that the main tomb is very large and circular.The diameter of the tomb is about fifteen meters, and there is a pillar in the middle of the tomb. The pillar can only be hugged by two people.There is a screen at the back of the tomb, which seems to be made of stone.Looking from a distance, there are faint words on the screen. There are many murals on the inner wall of the tomb, most of which are scenes of hunting and fighting.On the left side of the tomb are funerary objects, mostly gold and silver treasures.On the right side of the tomb is a wooden closet, on which are placed many vases, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.But at this moment, all the pockets on his body were torn, and there was nowhere to store the things inside.Seeing these treasures, no one will not be tempted.But my fourth uncle once told me that to find out everything about the tomb, see if the owner of the tomb agrees with you to take it away. If he does not agree, you must not take it.

Suddenly, Fourth Uncle put his index finger to his mouth and said, "Shh!" Everyone knew that Fourth Uncle must have discovered something, so they all fell silent.Fourth Uncle pointed to the screen and said softly, "Behind." After the fourth uncle finished speaking, he motioned for Liu Ge and fifth uncle to stay where they were, and let me outflank them from the left.The fourth uncle took the pistol and took the family dagger that was originally on the fifth uncle's body, and carried a lamp to copy it from the right side.I took the dagger and walked north.It's just that there are not many bullets in the fourth uncle's gun, and there is only one bullet left.

My fourth uncle and I walked around the screen with light steps, only to see a huge transparent coffin behind the screen.This coffin looks like the legendary crystal coffin. The coffin is about one and a half meters high and three meters long.Through the coffin, the internal layout of the coffin can be vaguely seen.However, due to the distance from the coffin, it is still not clear enough to see what is in the coffin. I heard from a magazine before that the crystal coffin is a coffin made by cutting a huge quartz and then chiseling stone grooves.Such coffins are not only of good quality, but also beneficial for preserving the body of the deceased.It is precisely because of the high technical requirements for the production of crystal coffins and the difficulty of obtaining materials that they are rarely seen.Usually, the more powerful princes in the dynasty are allowed to use crystal coffins with the approval of the emperor.The surface of the crystal coffin is usually decorated with tigers and dragons, and its shape is quite different from that of ordinary coffins.

Looking at this coffin again, there are many images of dragons and tigers on the surface, and the colors are also very beautiful. "Could it be that the voice that Uncle Fourth heard came from this coffin?" I thought.I saw my fourth uncle gesturing to me, telling me to go forward.Holding the dagger, I didn't dare to relax my vigilance at all, and walked cautiously towards the coffin.At this time, the fourth uncle also came to the coffin. The fourth uncle opened the safety of the pistol and aimed the pistol at the coffin. At this moment, there was silence in the coffin.The fourth uncle shone the electric light into the coffin, and saw that the figure inside the coffin was tall and tall, with a lifelike face and a military uniform that looked extremely heroic.It's just that this person has a relatively broad face, a large forehead, and a beard all over his face. One can tell at a glance that he is not from the Central Plains.Because the coffin board is relatively thick, other funerary objects inside cannot be seen very clearly.

The fourth uncle touched the coffin, and felt that there was a strong air-conditioning on the coffin, which made the fourth uncle feel even colder in his already drenched cotton padded coat.The fourth uncle said, "This is an ice coffin." "What? Ice coffin. I thought it was a crystal coffin." I whispered. The fourth uncle said: "It is difficult to find good stones for crystal coffins, but the princes in the north can pull a few thick ice blocks from the coast in winter and hide them underground. Dragons and tigers are carved on these ice blocks." , obviously the person in this coffin has a very high status. But this person's face is lifelike, we don't want to touch the funerary objects in the tomb lightly, otherwise we might not be able to get out."

I nodded, and the fourth uncle said, "Let's go back." Just as we were backing away, I stepped on a sunken rock.In an instant, the cold air rushed up my spine.The fourth uncle saw that I was afraid to move, and asked me what was going on.I said, stepping on a sunken stone under my feet.The fourth uncle's face immediately turned pale, and he said, "Don't move." Then the fourth uncle walked to a distance and told me to jump to the wall of the tomb and lie down.In fact, I know this trick, but I also understand that not every organization can deal with this trick.But right now there is no other way, so I have to listen to my fourth uncle.

I squatted on the ground, and suddenly found thick bloodstains on the ground. At this moment, I felt terrified, because I didn't expect that there would be blood here.Since the bloodstain had dried, it was impossible to tell when it was left.I looked at the coffin behind me, afraid that the people inside would jump out.But fear is useless. According to what my uncle said, I immediately jumped up and lay on the edge of the wall of the tomb.But when he jumped away from the collapsed stone, there was silence in the tomb, and there were no organs.I lay there for a long time without daring to move, fearing that these institutions would delay their appearance.The fourth uncle came over and said, "It seems that this mechanism is old and can no longer be used."

I stood up and was about to say yes when I heard a voice and replied, "No." My fourth uncle and I were taken aback because the voice came from the coffin.The fourth uncle immediately shone the light on the coffin, and saw a person walking out from under the coffin.To my surprise, this person turned out to be Huo Gang.Neither my fourth uncle nor I expected Huo Gang to appear here. I only heard Huo Gang say: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I heard the opening of the tomb door and hid here immediately. I heard the sound because you dared to come out." Obviously my fourth uncle and I were pleasantly surprised.Liu Ge and Fifth Uncle knew that there was nothing to do and came over.Although Huo Gang and I don't have much friendship, after all, we share weal and woe. When we met for the first time, I was still very excited.I took Huo Gang's hand and said, "Brother, as long as you are fine, what about Zhang Lei and Ding Meng?"

At this time, Huo Gang became extremely depressed, and said: "Oh, they are all dead. There are knives everywhere under the trap, and it is completely a knife board. Because the two of them fell first, and I fell last. I fell On them, so I'm fine. Speaking of which, they saved this life." "It's good to be alive, one alive is one." Seeing that Huo Gang was not injured at all, I said, "How did you get up here?" Huo Gang said: "I also just came up. After I fell into the ground, the hole was very deep, and I couldn't get up at all. In addition, the upper layer of the tomb was blocked by thick stone slabs, and the key was brought down by Zhang Lei, so I guess you don't want to go up." They will find us. Fortunately, none of the three flashlights were broken, so I quickly collected the three flashlights, turned off two, and looked for other exits. Do you know what I saw after I left this exit?"

I asked, "What?" At this time, everyone had already left behind the screen and walked to the main hall, where they gathered with Liu Ge and Uncle Wu.Huo Gang said: "The bottom here is all organs. The bottom of the tomb is empty, and there are gears and iron levers everywhere. I thought to myself, since there are levers everywhere, I will go out from above and find out by myself. Exit. But I don’t have anything in my hand. I tried to tear the parts on the mechanism, hoping to use them as tools. But the things there are relatively strong, and I can’t move them at all. After hours, I finally decided to start with the mechanism with a relatively high position. The outside of the mechanism seems to be full of springs and clips. This clip is just like the big clips used for hunting. It is used to clamp people’s legs. I stepped on the stone, Fei It took a long time to remove that thing. Later, I lifted the stone on it and came to the current tomb." At this time, I suddenly realized why I stepped on the organ but was not injured. It turned out that Huo Gang dismantled it in advance.The fourth uncle seemed to have thought of a question, and he said, "Do you still remember the person we died at the door of the tomb, that person's leg was also injured, and he didn't escape in the end, could it be that he was injured here?" Huo Gang said: "It's possible, but if so, how did he get in?" After the question was raised, everyone couldn't understand it. It didn't look like someone had entered this tomb.Because the key is unique, all four keys are distributed in each tomb. Only when you enter the tomb and find the key can you enter the main tomb.However, it is obvious that only the "Mu" brand tomb has been entered in each tomb, and no other tombs have been entered. This question is difficult to answer.Huo Gang was very curious when he saw that we were all covered with water, so I briefly told Huo Gang about the experience of the four of us in the tomb.But Huo Gang's face was very calm. He said: "When I saw so many organs below, I knew that you were close to death. But I didn't expect that you were all alive." After Huo Gang finished speaking, he paused and said: "You guys Do you know? This tomb is cursed, it is a murderous tomb." Everyone was surprised, Huo Gang brought everyone to the screen, and said: "You can see this screen. This is an imperial edict from the emperor." Everyone looked at the screen in front of them, and saw that the first half of the screen was like a tadpole. text, the second half is in Chinese.The article wrote: "The benevolence of heaven and earth should be based on tolerance. In the land of Sishui, it should be true to cultivate goodness. However, the great general of the country, Smutatar, does not respect the monarch and his ministers, and does not follow the order of honor and inferiority. Cholera Gangchang, entered the harem privately, and thought of his meritorious service in protecting the country, and bestowed royal gifts on him and buried him generously." The inscription later is the second year of Emperor Daxing Zhishun. At this point, everyone knew that the name of the owner of the tomb was Smutatar, a general who protected the country, and was given to death because of an affair with the harem.But why is it said to be cursed?Huo Gang pointed to the small letters behind the emperor's edict. These small letters are relatively long, and the general content is as follows: Outline of the construction of the tomb of the general who protects the country, Smutatar: General Smutatar is the Anda of the Dahang Emperor.Because of his arrogance and arrogance, he had no respect for his elders, and committed adultery in the harem, so he was given to hang himself.However, the general led his troops to rebel and invaded the palace. Fortunately, Prince Zha Ya'er rescued him and saved the country from disaster.The general was arrested, and the Emperor Daxing ordered his heart and liver to be taken out and weighed in two pounds.When the general was about to die, the emperor ordered a wizard from the southern kingdom to cast a spell, dug up the general's ankle, and ordered people to fill it with mercury to prevent his body from decomposing.It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and Emperor Daxing ordered people to turn the huge ice cubes used for storing food in the palace into ice coffins to collect corpses. Seeing this, everyone was terrified. They didn't expect that the owner of the tomb had such a story.At the same time, everyone felt that the Emperor Daxing was too cruel.But the content on the screen was not finished, and there was a paragraph behind. After reading the text, they realized that this was the reason and arrangement of the tomb's mechanism. As ancient people, they believed that a good tomb was very useful for raising corpses.Therefore, the yin house should be built according to the yin and yang five elements or the yin and eight trigrams.But Yin Bagua and Five Elements are rarely used at the same time. It is said that Cixi's tomb was built according to Yin Bagua.However, the mausoleums of the Yuan Dynasty are in the shape of the character "Jia", and the tomb chambers are mostly round, which provides conditions for the use of the five elements and the Eight Diagrams together. The most painful thing is that his wife was humiliated, and the emperor hated the general deeply.He ordered people to use anti-five elements around the tomb to reverse the yin and yang solar terms.At the same time, the positions of the "Du" gate, "Jing" gate, "Death" gate and "Jing" gate were changed on the Yin Bagua, so that the Yin Bagua did not work smoothly, and the original function of the ultimate Yin was brought into play, forming a half-dead life. grave of the dead.Because the anti-five elements reversed the universe, the soul of the owner of the tomb has been imprisoned in the tomb, and he can never be reborn. For such a description, I find it unbelievable.Because no matter how powerful Yin Yang, Five Elements and Yin Bagua are, they will not imprison other people's souls.Besides, what is after death is probably not something that the ancients could explain.These organs are just to prevent tomb robbers from entering. But after reading the text, I saw that it continued to explain: this tomb was cursed, and no strangers could enter this tomb, so there are traps everywhere in the tomb, the purpose is to prevent grave robbers from getting close to the owner of the tomb.Since the tomb was too closed, it would cause a huge necrotic effect on Smuttar's body, so Emperor Daxing only left one way to enter the tomb, and that was to collect all four keys.These four keys are mixed in eight directions, and it is necessary to find the four keys of the master.And because each key has the effect of opening the next organ, it is difficult for the tomb thief to think that the key to open the organ is the key to open the main tomb, so the designer of the tomb minimizes the possibility of entering the tomb. Seeing this, I realized how knowledgeable my fourth uncle was. He could even guess that the four keys that opened the other tombs were the ones that opened the main tomb.Then there is a picture attached below, which is a structural diagram of the tomb, which marks the vital organs of each place in the tomb.After seeing this picture, we found that we have encountered almost all the organs in the tomb. In addition, in order to increase the viciousness of the tomb, the emperor slaughtered twenty newlywed women on the day of the burial.This kind of massacre was not that the executioner chopped them down in the tomb with a knife, but closed them in the tomb with the name "Mu" planted with vampire vines. This blood-sucking vine comes from Xishuangbanna, but this blood-sucking vine was not transplanted from Xishuangbanna, but dug from the tomb of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.However, how it is transplanted is not explained above.In order to ensure that the three blood-sucking vines could survive in the tomb for a long time, the emperor ordered the twenty married women who were buried at the door of the tomb to be locked in the tomb for planting blood-sucking vines. The tar that appeared in the second tomb was transported from Shanxi, and the monsters that appeared in the "Jin" tomb and the water monster that appeared in the "Shui" tomb also gave the answer here. The tomb of the "Jin" name is called the ground prisoner cattle. Because it looks like the ancient mythical animal prisoner cattle and lives underground, it is called the ground prisoner cattle.These two ground prisoner cattle were caught by the Mongols in a cave in the Taihang Mountains, and were locked up by the emperor in the Smutatar Tomb to guard the tomb. The water monster in the "Shui" tomb is called Yinshuilong. Yinshuilong is three feet long, with a head like a cow and a horse, and two eyes like green lanterns.Due to the special geology, there is a deep pool in the "Shui" brand, so the emperor ordered people to raise such a yin water dragon in this pool.The ancient one zhang is equivalent to the current two meters two, so that means that this Yinshui dragon is more than six meters long.But now it seems that this Yinshuilong is at least ten meters long, not the three feet mentioned above. Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that there were so many secrets hidden under this ancient tomb.But a wise man has a lot of considerations, and there is bound to be a mistake. After all, the designer cannot take everything into consideration.Didn't Huo Gang come in through the main entrance? The explanatory text on the screen ends here, and the above does not explain what the curse is.The content expressed on the screen ends here.Everyone stood on the right side of the screen and looked at other places in the tomb.If nothing special, it's time for us to get out.Now the lights in his hands are almost out of power, only Huo Gang has a small flashlight left that is useless.And everyone was still wet, if they didn't go out, they would freeze to death. Everyone dare not take the things in the tomb, after all, this tomb is too evil.If there is really a curse, then there is no way to escape from this tomb. At this time, the fourth uncle let out a "huh", as if he had discovered something again.Everyone followed the lights and saw a robbery hole with a diameter of about one meter above their heads.The bricks in the robbery hole were in a mess, and it was only because the robbery hole was at the corner of the top of the tomb that it was not discovered for a while.Judging from Huo Gang's expression, Huo Gang didn't see this robbery hole either, and he looked at it very curiously. Judging from the soil brought out of the robbery hole, this robbery hole is new and should have been discovered only recently.In other words, someone has been to this tomb recently, and a hole was dug from the top of the tomb.And the blood on the coffin just now must have been left by this group of people.No wonder the air in the tomb is so circulated, it turned out to be the reason. If this is the case, the person who died at the door with a wounded leg did not come in from the tomb passage at all, but from the burial chamber.Since that person knew that there was a robbery hole in the sewer, he must have encountered another group of grave robbers.In order to cover up that he came in from the upper level of the tomb, this man said that he was another group of tomb robbers.But in this way another question arises, where are the other accomplices of the man with the injured leg? I asked my fourth uncle, "fourth uncle, when is the second year of Zhishun? Why is there such a big mound of earth in this tomb?" The fourth uncle said: "There is no emperor's mausoleum left in the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that after Genghis Khan died, he hollowed out a big tree to make a coffin for burial. After the Mongols hid Genghis Khan, they used horses to level the place, and then used troops to guard it." These troops can only withdraw when new grass grows, so that future generations will not know that there is a tomb. You can see that there is still a mound of sealed soil on the tomb, which shows that this is a tomb in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty. By that time shallow mounds had begun to be preserved as markers." "This mound looks ordinary, how do those tomb robbers know that there are ancient tombs underneath?" I asked. The fourth uncle said: "These tomb robbers are not attracted by the mounds, but by the dead female corpses. This mound is haunted, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others, especially the masters of tomb robbers. Ordinary female corpses will not be haunted." The professional sense of smell will tell them that there will be an ancient tomb below. Besides, someone has gone down to the lake, and maybe the bricks in the tomb can be found. In short, it will be a matter of time before this tomb is discovered, and more than one person has discovered it.” At this point, everyone understood why so many people discovered this ancient tomb.After thinking through all this, I suddenly felt chills all over my body, and I said to my fourth uncle, let's go quickly. The fourth uncle nodded and said, "Let's not move the things in the tomb, otherwise we won't be able to get out of this ancient tomb." It is not the style of grave robbers not to take funeral objects. Although we are not authentic grave robbers, seeing so many treasures makes us feel really itchy, and we feel uncomfortable if we don’t take anything away.At this time, Fifth Uncle and Huo Gang also looked at the funeral objects, a little bit reluctantly.I thought to myself, after my fourth uncle left, I would secretly come back and enter the ancient tomb.Huo Gang shone his flashlight on the funeral object, sighing as he walked.While Huo Gang was looking at the funeral objects, I saw a black shadow flash past.This black shadow is not big, but it is extremely fast. I was not the only one who saw the shadow, Huo Gang was also there.There was a moment of tension on his face, his eyes looked straight ahead, then he turned his face to look at me and said, "There is something in this tomb." Uncle Fourth and Uncle Fifth didn't see the shadow, but he knew Huo Gang will not lie.So the fourth uncle shone the light into the depths of the tomb, only to see that the tomb was still as quiet as before, and there was nothing there. The fourth uncle said: "Let's go, get out of here quickly, or you will really be frozen to death." Just when everyone took a step and was about to walk out of the tomb, there was a cat meowing "meow" from behind, which made people tremble all over the body. Creepy.
