Chapter 2 Chapter Two

After the water subsides, look ahead carefully, the old man has disappeared, and the stone gate of the corridor in front has suddenly opened up.I wondered in my heart, could it be that this lovely old man... has a sore nose and moist eye sockets. Just when I was sad, I suddenly heard someone at my feet saying to me: "Boy, why don't you come down and shit on it?" I turned on the flashlight and saw that the old man was lying down at my feet in an ugly posture, mouthing Coughing water out. "Damn, I'm scared to death, old man, I still expect you to take me out, don't be so anxious to ride the crane." I muttered stiffly, wiping away the tears that were about to overflow.

The old man was coughing and talking, and I understood intermittently. Feelings are an "underground spring road". As a joke, he designed an exquisite water storage project, and built a pool on the upper side of the tunnel according to the trend of water seepage in the ground veins. As long as it rains on the ground or seeps from the ground, it will accurately fall into this pool instead of seeping along the tunnel. Entering the main underground palace, however, after a long time, the pool must be drained when it is full, so it was modified along the original excavation tunnel of the underground palace, and it became a very convenient flood discharge channel. The hole is one of the passages for water to go outside. Not only that, but also designed a mechanism to connect the statue with the pool. As soon as you enter the corridor and trigger the mechanism, the water in the reservoir will rush out , flooding the entire tunnel.

Isn't this a flush toilet?This principle is almost the same as that of a flush toilet. I controlled the water in the old man's chest while thinking about it, and finally managed to control the dirty water in the old man's abdomen. Out.I placed him by the wall, and just about to lift my legs and walk towards the stone gate, the old man suddenly stopped me, I stopped to look at him, he sighed, and was speechless for a long time. It was only after I walked through the stone gate that I realized why he sighed. When I saw this scene, it was like a strangled rooster that couldn't make a sound.

Pale faces, dried corpses, pairs of empty black eye sockets, in the tomb at the end of the corridor, dozens of "human stems" are hung in the air, they are still wearing the clothes they used to live, a huge The iron hook on the chest passed through the throat, and two small hooks separated out, which were grasping the collarbones of both shoulders.Lightly touching their clothes, a puff of smoke immediately rose, and the bright clothes turned into pieces at the touch, and fell off one after another, as if a chain reaction had been triggered, and the clothes on the rest of the people also took off one after another. Broken and falling.Dozens of strong men were hanging here naked like this. As soon as I stepped in, I felt my feet loosen. Before I could make a cry, I heard crackling sounds from the surrounding walls , I took a photo with a flashlight, and saw that large pieces of murals on the surrounding walls were peeling off, and the original bright colors quickly dimmed.

I opened my mouth wide and watched all this happen quickly, feeling a strong sense of guilt in my heart. I know that similar scenes will appear in many archaeological excavation sites. As long as the air in the tomb starts to convect, the exquisite murals, bright and elastic Clothes will turn into fly ash in an instant and cease to exist. "A total of thirty-six, all of which were 18-year-old strong boys. They were first bled and drowned in wax liquid. When they were about to die, they took the pearls generated in their brains, ground them and blended them with Danzhu. Red-yellow, bright ochre, made of paint with blood, and then painted the Tiangangzhiyang curse on the surrounding wall rooms, and it is said that anyone who saw this curse would go mad, hit the wall, or chew their tongue, and they would kill themselves." The old man A faint voice came from behind.

The flashlight slid across each face one by one, and they were once fresh faces. Even after thousands of years, the skin preserved by the wax liquid still looks like a geisha covered with delicate white powder. A group of dead people, I almost think it is a group of living people doing performance art here. I suddenly turned the flashlight back to the old man's face, he faced my direct gaze a little flustered, deliberately avoiding my direct gaze in his cloudy eyes. "You know everything, don't you?" I stared hard at him.He didn't expect me to turn my head suddenly, and he seemed mentally unprepared.

"Is there still 72 female corpses?" I continued to ask. "How do you know?" The old man knew he had been fooled as soon as he answered, because I showed a "guess right" expression. "Yes, there are 72 female corpses." The old man replied helplessly. "there?" "I don't know either!" The old man stood up with difficulty, "Although our ancestors have been guarding this place, it is the first time we have entered this place. If it wasn't for the instruction from our ancestors: All the descendants of my Liu family should guard this place and never enter this mausoleum." Those who are killed on the spot. I will not take the risk, because I also want to know whether the legends of my ancestors are true!"

"What legend?" As soon as I finished saying this, I heard a neat slapping sound behind me, which seemed to be the uniform salute of the troops when they were inspected. Corpse, however, something seemed wrong, their hands, why did their hands suddenly stretch across their chests. When I was in a cold sweat, the old man suddenly took out a disposable lighter from his arms. After the blue flame flickered, a nearby corpse instantly burned. In the blazing blue flame, several people were found The corpse had already fallen to the ground, and at some point there was a sledgehammer in his hand. Just when I was surprised, the old man pushed me down.

"Quickly, quickly throw out the gunpowder!" The old man yelled loudly, and I quickly reached out to grab the skin bag on my waist, but when I stretched out my hand, I grabbed a lump of black mud.The two times of passing through the water had already turned the gunpowder into a lump of mud, and I couldn't control that much, so I threw it out with all my strength. After a rustling sound, a cloud of white mist suddenly burst out from the hands of those corpses, rushing towards us like a tangible texture. The old man touched a handful of gunpowder and almost lost his temper: "Why did it happen?"

I looked innocent: "It was like this when you gave it to me." Just when the cloud of white mist was about to rush in front of him, the old man suddenly blew a strange whistle, and began to swing his body along with the whistle, the white mist seemed to be alive, and hesitantly slowed down amidst the whistle , the old man cautiously approached the nearest corpse as if facing a living person, and pushed the corpse into the cloud of white mist. Seeing that the cloud of white mist quickly absorbed into the corpse, the tense situation suddenly eased, and the old man let out a sigh of relief: "Corpse midges, luckily they are also bugs."

I have been fascinated by the old man's strange dance just now. I speculated that it must be a kind of "worm art". It was so exciting that I actually saw a performance of the king of insects up close. Before I had time to ask the old man about the strange dance just now, the old man dragged me into a corridor at the end of the tomb in a hurry. As soon as I stood still, I saw dozens of other corpses made of wax. It fell from the iron hook, and as soon as it touched the ground, white mist stirred up, just like when the autumn morning fog first rises, and bursts of corpse midges began to swarm and spread everywhere.The old man hurriedly covered my mouth and nose, and both of them held their breath tightly. After about tens of seconds, those white mist-like midges attached to the corpse again. Thirty-six warriors in bright helmets and silver armor stood on the ground. The old man carefully dragged me and moved backwards. Just when we felt that we had escaped the breathing range of midges, we felt a sudden sound above our heads, and the dragon-breaking stone between the corridor and Tiangang Hall slowly fell down. The two of us watched helplessly as we were locked in a corridor where we didn't know the way. "Someone has already entered the Earth Sha Palace, we have to catch up quickly, otherwise, the rest of the corpses will all wake up?" The old man's tone was too anxious for time. "What evil palace?" I was a little baffled. "Don't you know?" The old man looked at me strangely. "Know what?" I asked curiously. "72 corpses of women? That's the Disha Palace. Didn't you just guess that these are the 108 Yin soldiers from the Emperor's Mausoleum? Why are you pretending to be confused?" The old man was a little puzzled why I pretended to be confused. "I don't know. I guessed it just now. The world is full of gods. I made it up completely according to the number of Tiangangdisha in the Water Margin, and then I made a foolish guess. As for the Tiangangdisha Palace, it is really the first time for me. It is said that." The old man was completely speechless. It could be seen that he clenched and loosened his fists, that he wanted to beat me. "No, the Emperor's Tomb? There are one hundred and eight Yin soldiers in the Emperor's Tomb, how can this be the Emperor's Tomb?" I suddenly found that there was something wrong with the old man's words. It is impossible for someone as awesome as Lao Zhong not to file this. Just when I thought that the thirty-six corpses and the midges carried on them were deliberate anti-theft tomb facilities, but the old man easily found the passage leading to the next tomb. Isn’t this some anti-theft facility? But just thirty-six funeral objects?I expressed my doubts about the imperial mausoleum and my suspicions about these corpses. The old man looked at the entrance of the tunnel with a flashlight, and asked a few nonsensical questions. "Do you still remember the Liushen trapped dragon lock I told you about?" I nodded. "Do you still remember why it was rebuilt here?" I shook my head. "A man with the emperor's lifeline was buried here, as well as his four guards and two generals in front of the palace. His six escort stars were also buried beside him. The copper nail town corpse I encountered was one of them." The old man immediately started talking, and all the fog along the way gradually dissipated as the old man told the story passed down from generation to generation.
