Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Mutations

Everyone ran to the front hall in one breath, still in shock, the power of the "Sudden Black Grass" began to appear... The people present felt an inexplicable panic at first. They only felt that there were countless ghosts wandering around, peeping at your every move in the dark. This atmosphere made people feel panic.Immediately afterwards, an unimaginable hallucination appeared in front of my eyes—the faces of all people were deformed, becoming extremely ugly, all of them were bloodless, and they looked like rogues.Everyone glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of disgust, a strong hostility, and wanted to kill each other. This kind of consciousness quickly occupied everyone's minds, and they all gritted their teeth and glared at others...

Hired!This is the result of a toxic episode.I closed my eyes hard, and when I opened them again, I found that they had changed again, and they turned into the corpses in the sacrificial room, holding a scimitar with a cold light in their hands.Even though I know this is all hallucination, I still feel the creeps.In the front hall at this moment, a killing intent is lingering and permeating everyone's heart... "Not good! Everyone, wake up and control your emotions." I suddenly came back to my senses, yelled loudly, and slapped everyone with my hands. This was the way old Joe "healed" me last time.

"Ah! What's going on?" Uncle Wang covered his face and quickly understood what happened in front of him. He gritted his teeth and fumbled in his backpack, tremblingly took out a glass medicine bottle, poured all the black pills in his palm, After swallowing one by myself, I stuffed the rest into my hand, panting and said, "Quick! Share it with them." After a while of panic, the four of them slumped on the ground panting, feeling as if they had escaped from death. "Young man, not only do you recognize 'Huheicao', but it doesn't seem to have much effect on you. Have you been poisoned before and have immunity?" Hou Daobo said with a half-smile, his eyes full of doubts.

"That's right! But Uncle Wang is still very powerful, and the antidote will be effective immediately." I was afraid that it would involve too much, so I immediately changed the subject. "Judging from the poisoning reaction, this 'Sudden Black Grass' must be something that affects the sensory nerves. In our archaeological business, we travel in the barren mountains and fields all the year round. It is impossible not to prepare some anti-virus drugs. You know, I participated in archaeology. He majored in chemistry before work." Uncle Wang exhaled forcefully, his face flushed slightly, and his expression was very excited, as if the medicine he had just taken was working, only to hear him smile again and say, "Everyone, go out and dry yourself first. Sun, let the poison evaporate as soon as possible."

... When a group of people ran out of the tomb, they realized that it was already evening outside, and a smear of setting sun dyed the whole hill red, like a fire. "Oh! Time flies so fast, we've been tossing and tossing for a long time..." Uncle Wang became very verbose at this time, a bit drunk, "Tianhua, what is that in your hand... Ah! the map." Suddenly, he rushed over madly, snatched the wolf skin, and spread it on the fine sand of Ming Road. Under the setting sun, I saw a familiar and disturbing wolf skin inside the shiny wolf skin. Pattern - the head of a wolf.

Is it true that, as I speculate, they are all descendants of Bei Shanyu, and the head portrait is the symbol?I swallowed a mouthful of phlegm dryly, and turned my gaze back to the wolf's fur. I saw that under the wolf's head was a map drawn with various lines, exactly the same as the one on Baishi Mountain, and there was also an "S"-shaped curve in it. , even the black dot above is in the same position, but there is no text annotation on this one. "It turns out that the map of this holy place is drawn on the wolf's fur." ​​Uncle Hou Dao suddenly realized, "This method is really secretive and poisonous..."

"Tianhua, is this picture the same as the one passed down in your family?" Uncle Wang looked extremely agitated, grabbed my wrist tightly, and held the wolf skin in front of me with one hand.When he did this, all eyes were on me. "Where is the 'Holy Land of the Ancestors' written? Which line is the Boletu River? What does this black dot indicate?" Faced with Uncle Wang's barrage of questioning, I was at a loss for a moment. This black spot may be where Bei Danyu is buried. It is related to the secret of the family's curse, how can I easily reveal it!Besides, his reaction was very unusual, and there must be another reason.

"Uncle Wang, I really can't remember, I didn't care at all at the time, I was just interested in those words." I gently opened his hand and said calmly. "Then show me the annotation of this black dot." Uncle Wang was still relentless.This made me more suspicious and more vigilant. "Didn't I write it all for you last time? That's all." Uncle Wang was stunned on the spot, his face was full of disappointment, and suddenly he straightened up as if being touched by electricity, and spread the wolf skin in front of Uncle Hou Dao, "Look, old man, do you recognize this terrain? Which line is it? Boletu River?"

"This picture is too simple, and there is no explanation. I can't do anything! But combined with the legend of the wolf clan, it should be somewhere in Jinwei Mountain." Hou Daobo stroked his beard and looked at the map intently. Suddenly, he deliberately He glanced at me inadvertently, turned to Uncle Wang and said: "In ancient times, there was a Boletu River on Jinwei Mountain, but it dried up and disappeared hundreds of years ago, and no one has been able to find its trace. It is said that This river is thousands of miles long, even if you know which line in this picture is it, if there are no other signs to refer to, you don’t know which section it is in.”

Uncle Hou Dao’s words were obviously evading. He even whispered to me at noon that he was willing to take me to the Boletu River and help me fulfill my father’s last wish. It can be seen that he is familiar with Jinwei Mountain, even if the ancient river disappears. , the mountain topography will not have a big change, right?Especially this obvious "S" shape.At this moment, I had a faint feeling in my heart that he had recognized the map, and even recognized the places where the black dots were marked. Why did he only hide it from Uncle Wang?It seems that this pair of old partners is also seemingly incompatible, and there must be something hidden in it.And Uncle Wang's obsession with the map is also puzzling. What does he want to get from it?So excited, is it just because you are obsessed with archaeological discoveries?I was confused, I just felt that everyone was hiding secrets and ulterior motives.

At this time, there was silence in Minglu. I pretended to glance at them casually, and saw that Uncle Hou Dao was still stroking his beard, looking leisurely; His expression was very sluggish; when my eyes moved to Wei Jianguo, I couldn't help being stunned. This guy seemed to be active only in the tomb, and hid in a corner when he came out. He didn't speak for a long time, and I almost forgot his existence.At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Uncle Wang, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, it still couldn't escape my eyes.What role is this guy playing?It seems that the relationship between this group of people is really complicated. I let out a long breath, turned my gaze to the sky, and suddenly remembered that it was the appearance of the wolf fur map that made everyone suspicious, including myself... What else could this ominous thing lead to?At this time, a large cloud was rolling in from the east, painting the sky as thick as black ink, like countless ghosts gathering and entwining, ready to swallow the whole world.And the grassland to the west is still shining with a strange brilliance under the setting sun, as if it is the reflection of a dying person... This situation seems to imply that something terrible is about to happen.Thinking of this, I shivered involuntarily. ... "It looks like it's going to rain soon." I broke the silence. "No! It's just a passing cloud. It comes fast and goes faster." Hou Daobo looked up at the sky and said calmly, "There will be a strong wind tonight, a northwest wind." "Old man, we have to put the rug here, and it's better to block the entrance." Uncle Wang seemed to have regained his composure, and his stern expression returned, the change was strangely quick. "No! The hillside is too steep, and there are too many trees, there is no place to stay." "This tomb is of great significance to the study of Khitan history, and there are many cultural relics inside. We must ensure that it is intact." Uncle Wang habitually adjusted his glasses and said seriously: "I will go to Hanla early tomorrow morning. Erqi, find a way to contact Beijing, try to form a team to dig as soon as possible, and let the local cultural management office send people to protect it. Until I come back, you must guard the entrance and not leave for a moment." "Hey! Don't be so nervous. This place is not like a city. In the vast grassland, it is fate to meet someone." The honest man looked disdainful, and suddenly thought of something, sneered and said: "We Mongolians don't have 'tomb robbers' this phrase……" "Don't get me wrong, old man. I'm not making a fuss out of a molehill." Uncle Wang lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "Don't forget the breach that appeared suddenly before. This is definitely a robbery hole. I just don't understand. We got through, why don't you go down?" "Maybe he was disturbed by us! This guy is unlucky enough. He traveled a long distance to Inner Mongolia, and just happened to meet us." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, I hurried to make things right. Uncle Wang also immediately changed the subject, pointed at me and said to Wei Jianguo, "Since we can't build a rug, you two will stay here overnight. Uncle Houdao and I will go down the mountain to get something to eat, and I'll bring it to you later." "If you are not afraid of bad luck, this Ming Road is a good place to shelter from the wind, but you need to get some firewood, it will be cold at night!" The honest uncle also put on a smiling face, and after finishing speaking, he climbed up the Ming Road and went straight to the slope go down. ... When Uncle Wang followed him down the mountain, it was already dark in the forest. I once again experienced the rapid change of the sky in the grassland, and I couldn't help but be caught off guard—the firewood wasn't ready yet!Looking back at Wei Jianguo, he was nowhere to be found. Just as he was wondering, a bunch of dead branches suddenly fell from the sky, and a black figure stood on it and shouted: "Light this first, if it is too wet, melt the candle, and I will get some more." .” As expected of an old hand, this nerd is very calm in everything he does, but his personality is a bit weird.While I was lighting firewood, I recalled his words and deeds along the way. I only felt that this guy was very dull, as if he was only interested in the tomb... Not long after, Uncle Wang and Uncle Hou Dao came to the mountain with big bags and small bags. They not only had food, leather blankets, but also a gas lamp.The four of them ate around the campfire. The food was nothing more than mutton and mare's milk. Although the taste was still weird, I seemed to be getting used to it, so I frowned and drank two bowls. After that, Uncle Wang and the others went down the mountain, leaving only a few words of advice.I lay bored, staring at the sky as black as thick ink in a daze, while Wei Jianguo kept reading, treating me like an invisible person.In the end, I finally couldn't help but start the topic, even though I knew this guy was a boring guy. "Brother Wei, what are you reading all day with your book in your arms?" "Read everything, history, I Ching, Feng Shui, and detective novels." "Oh! You are knowledgeable! By the way! Have you been doing archaeological work for a long time? I think Uncle Wang thinks highly of you." "It's been a long time, but I've only been with Director Wang for more than a year." Unexpectedly, Wei Jianguo would strike up a conversation, and it didn’t look like he was trying to be perfunctory. I immediately recovered my spirits, sat up and said, “Uncle Wang said he was engaged in chemistry before, what about you?” "Me! I started copying in the archaeological team after graduating from junior high school. That experience is similar to that of your father, and I came step by step." Wei Jianguo closed the book and asked suddenly, "You and Director Wang just met! How did you get in touch?" "Yes...it happened by chance." This sudden question immediately struck a chord in my heart. In fact, I have been wondering about it all the time, and I have a vague feeling that this matter is not that simple. At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew in the forest.Just as Hou Daobo expected, the violent northwest wind came one after another, making a chilling and strange sound.Although the road to the underworld is nearly three meters deep, you can still appreciate its power—the bonfire swayed to one side, and the raised sparks mixed with various debris rushed to the head and covered the face... Wei Jianguo quickly turned on the gas lamp and retreated towards the entrance of the tomb while gesturing.I hugged the sheepskin blanket and followed, and just as I stepped into the stone gate, I heard him say something particularly disgusting—— "Or let's go down inside and sleep." I didn't know how to answer for a moment, not because of fear, but because of the rules of the tomb robbers.In the family biography books, there are long and lengthy exhortations on this aspect, and "the stranger should not sleep in the dead spot" is the first of all taboos.I looked at Wei Jianguo hesitantly, and found that his expression was a little strange, as if he was lost in selfless contemplation. "Listen, there are footsteps." Suddenly, he raised his head and said something, and quickly looked outside the door.I didn't understand, so I turned my head, but saw a bright white beam of light shaking in the dark sky, flickering, as if someone was walking with a flashlight.This guy's ears are so sensitive, I can't help but secretly admire him. "It's Uncle Wang! The tomb robbers knew that there was someone guarding this place when they saw the fire, so they wouldn't come here carelessly." Before the words were finished, the beam of light suddenly shone on the top of the stone wall of Ming Road, and immediately after, Uncle Wang's thin figure appeared on the opposite side.He was not in a hurry to get down, but yelled at us, "Come and help us get things!" The two of us came out and took a closer look. There was a sheepskin blanket wrapped in a ball and a large kettle at Uncle Wang's feet. "Director Wang, it's so late and you haven't slept yet!" Wei Jianguo took the things and asked with a frown, with a strange expression on his face. "The more I think about it, the more worried I become!" Uncle Wang slowly climbed down the rope ladder, and said earnestly, "It is so rare to see such a complete and high-level Khitan tomb, so I have to guard it anyway. I will stay here tonight." , the three of us take turns sleeping." Wei Jianguo was visibly shocked, but soon regained his composure, and asked in a consulting tone, "It's windy outside, can we go down inside..." "No, absolutely not." Uncle Wang interrupted immediately, and said threateningly: "Although the archaeological code does not stipulate that you can't spend the night in the tomb, it will have a certain impact on the site, and besides, the conditions inside are not as good as outside! Cold, poisonous gas, organs, and psychological burden, everything is fatal." Why is his explanation similar to what is written in the book?I was taken aback for another moment, and the more I felt that tomb robbery and archeology belonged to the same family. At this time, the northwest wind was still howling, but the frequency was gradually slowing down. After Wang Shu said this, he buried his head in packing up his things, first shook off the sheepskin blanket, spread it on the fallen stone door, and then took out the cup from his backpack. , Lifted the big kettle and said: "Come! Uncle Hou Dao has just boiled hot water, you two have a drink, then go to bed, I will watch in the middle of the night." Wei Jianguo and I obediently leaned over and each poured a glass. The three of us just drank the water silently without making a sound.Suddenly, I thought of Uncle Hou Dao, the wind is so strong, can his yurt be safe?I wanted to ask Uncle Wang, but I saw that he was sitting on the gas lamp, smoking a cigarette and writing down a diary seriously, so I held back and thought back, this grassland is his home!There is always a way to cope.As soon as he was relieved, he couldn't help feeling sleepy, so he also laid down the sheepskin blanket, pulled it aside, and went to find Zhou Gong with his head and face covered. ... I was dreaming again, although the scene was extremely real, but I still knew it was just a dream, because I was facing Bei Danyu's golden coffin, a golden coffin.I approached slowly, when a gray wolf appeared, it jumped on top of the golden coffin, squatting there calmly, its huge body pressed the golden coffin into a creaking sound, I was in a dilemma, numb Standing stupidly, suddenly, there were bursts of digging sound in the distance, very urgent and dull...I don't know how long it took, the surroundings suddenly returned to calm, I let out a long breath, at this moment, my buttocks seemed to be crushed Kicked it a bit, only to hear Uncle Hou Dao's old voice calling, "What's wrong with you? You all slept like dead people." I opened my eyes suddenly, saw that the sky was getting dark, and sat up straight up, just in time to face the sleepy Wei Jianguo. On the sheepskin blanket, snoring, looking very peaceful, with a pen in one hand... "Oops! I overslept, we should stay in the middle of the night." Wei Jianguo looked flustered, and murmured, "Maybe it was too thrilling and exhausting yesterday. I fell asleep as soon as I fell down, but I worked all night." Nightmare. Just now, I dreamed that I entered the tomb again, staring at a coffin in a daze, and then heard the sound of gnawing, gnawing, and then the sound of digging..." Hearing Wei Jianguo's narration, I got goosebumps all over my body. How could they both have the same dream?At this time, Uncle Wang had been woken up by Uncle Hou Dao, obviously still a little delirious, looking at the pen in his hand stupidly. "What did you encounter last night?" Uncle Hou Dao asked nervously, looking left and right, as if checking the marks on the ground. Suddenly, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and muttered, "I usually only sleep four hours a day. , but I slept well last night, and I didn’t wake up until now... If I’m not mistaken, the four of us have all been tricked and drugged.” "Drug!" Uncle Wang jumped up all of a sudden, his face was as green as a bitter melon, and he was about to walk towards the tomb unsteadily, but was stopped by Uncle Hou Dao. "This is very strange, I think everyone should be careful!" Hou Daobo said as he twisted Uncle Wang's backpack, helped him put it on neatly, then took out a small shovel and handed it to him, and turned to me and followed Wei Jianguo said, "You guys are also getting ready..." His words not only calmed everyone down, but also made everyone feel very nervous, and they picked up the guys one after another. But I came in a hurry this time, and I didn’t bring archaeological equipment. Seeing them filing in, I had to grab the gas lamp and follow . ... The four people walked down the entrance tomb, passed the long corridor, and came to the "front hall" with their front heels and their back feet. Facing the three eerie arches, their hearts beat faster.Wei Jianguo scanned the entire front hall with a flashlight, found nothing unusual, then turned the beam of light to the arch, and said in a low voice, "Let's go in three ways, so even if there are people inside, we can't hide." At this time, Uncle Wang was still a little slow, and it took a long time to react, and said seriously: "Yes! Let's inspect a tomb room alone, and Uncle Hou Dao will stay here to guard." "It's not necessary. Besides, I didn't bring down the lights, so let's go with Tianhua!" Uncle Hou Dao remained expressionless. Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Pay attention to see if there are any cultural relics lost." Then he rushed into the arch leading to the "sacrifice room". Wei Jianguo moved faster and disappeared in a flash. He chose the one in the middle. a corridor... "Let's go, let's go to the 'Dedication Room'." Hou Daobo snatched the gas lamp in my hand, and walked towards the archway on the far left. Because they walked through it once before, the two felt more at ease, and their pace was much faster, and they arrived at the door of the "Dedication Room" in a short while.Behind the dilapidated wooden door, various necromancers covered with a layer of mud are arranged in an orderly manner, which is still the same as last time. However, when the two of us stepped into the tomb and the gas lamp illuminated the inside, we couldn't help falling. Take a breath of air-the stone platform at the bottom of the tomb is empty, and all the gold objects are gone. "Oops! Something happened." "There's so much gold, who wouldn't be tempted?" Uncle Hou Dao seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he didn't look flustered. He stroked his beard and said, "Fortunately, this tomb has not been reported yet, so you don't have to bear any responsibility, just treat it as these gold objects." Never showed up." "Who do you think would do this? It's not easy to charm the four of us at the same time." "What's so difficult about it, on the rivers and lakes..." Uncle Hou Dao just said halfway, when suddenly there were hurried and noisy footsteps in the corridor, I looked over like an electric shock, and saw two beams of light crossing and shaking. "Who?" I blurted out, my voice shifting slightly. "Don't panic, it's Director Wang and the others." Uncle Hou Dao said calmly, "The corridors of the sacrificial room and the dormitory are relatively short, and there are not many things, so they should hurry up." As the sound of chaotic footsteps gradually approached, a swaying figure appeared on the wall of the tomb, which indicated that there were at least two people running, and they were all holding flashlights. "Is there a problem?" Someone yelled loudly from more than ten meters away, and it really was Uncle Wang's voice. "Look for yourself." Hou Dao Bo replied expressionlessly, but his eyes stayed on the stone platform. "Our two rooms are intact, and there is no sign of robbery." Uncle Wang said out of breath before he could stand still, but when he entered the dedication room, he suddenly let out a strange cry of "acridine", and rushed towards him recklessly. stone platform. "Don't... don't step on your feet." Wei Jianguo wanted to reach out and pull it, but he shook his head and said, "If it remains the same, the footprints on the mud are clues that can tell who the thief is probably. several." He spoke in an orderly manner. It seems that he has read detective books a lot, but what's the use?How can we have the ability to track down such a big event?Suddenly, I felt that he was a little abnormally calm, just like Uncle Hou Dao, as if he had expected it. "No need to analyze, it was done by a layman, maybe a passing herdsman." Hou Daobo put down the gas lamp he was holding high, and said slowly: "There are so many things in the tomb, and the thief only took gold, which shows that he doesn't understand cultural relics." Value, among other things, the set of glassware in the bedroom is far more valuable than gold." "That's not necessarily true. Cultural relics of this level are not easy to sell. They are too eye-catching, and they are not as real as gold wares." Wei Jianguo said with a sullen face.Although the tone is flat, the meaning of the rebuttal is very obvious. "Well! That's true." Uncle Wang continued in frustration: "Only gold is easier to carry, after all, there are three of us lying at the entrance..." Suddenly, he glanced deeply at the others, and said word by word: "This matter is definitely related to our drowsiness last night. It seems that the other party is a veteran." As soon as Uncle Wang said this, everyone fell into deep thought, and there was a sudden silence in the tomb. At this time, the sound of running water that had been faintly heard suddenly became obvious, which made the atmosphere even more depressing. Faced with this embarrassing scene, everyone turned their faces to one side, avoiding the eyes of others. At this moment, Wei Jianguo suddenly walked up to Uncle Wang, squatted down slowly, and put a round belly on the stone platform. The cockscomb pot was in a daze. "What did you find?" Uncle Wang took a step back and asked with his body half sideways.Before the words fell, a strange cracking sound suddenly sounded outside the door, and then, a loud bang came from the corridor, shaking the whole tomb room to buzz... "Not good! Maybe the door-sealing stone on the top of the entrance fell off." My face turned livid, and I looked at Uncle Wang in panic.However, at this glance, Wei Jianguo made a strange movement. He quickly stretched out one hand to the ground, picked up something and held it in his palm, and then slowly stood up. "Why is this happening? Go out and have a look." Uncle Wang danced and shouted at the crowd, but he froze in place. From the moment we entered the dedication room, Uncle Hou Dao and I hadn't moved a footstep. At this time, the two of us were closest to the door, and I turned around and ran towards the corridor.However, as soon as I stepped out of the tomb door, I was shocked by the falling sand, and there was an ominous creaking sound from the top of my head. This sound made my hair stand on end. I couldn't help taking a few steps back, and looked up tremblingly. "Get out of the way!" At this time, Uncle Hou Dao rushed over, grabbed my back with one hand, and dragged me into the tomb. Almost at the same time, a huge stone fell from the sky, rubbed our bodies and smashed into the corridor, splashing the gravel Flying around like bullets... If people really have three souls and seven souls, at this moment I only have half a soul left at most, and my mind is filled with the feeling of narrow escape. ... "Tianhua! Relight the gas lamp quickly, I seem to be injured." In a trance, Uncle Hou Dao stuffed a box of matches into my hand, and I came back to my senses. "Are you all right?" Uncle Wang and Wei Jianguo ran over stepping on the mud, shining two flashlights on us who were lying on the ground. "It's nothing serious, just a piece of gravel splashed on my foot." Uncle Hou Dao held his calf, and under the light, bright red blood oozed from his fingers like a spring.Wei Jianguo untied his backpack without saying a word, took out gauze to help him bandage, while Uncle Wang lit the gas lamp, the three of them didn't look panicked at all, as if they didn't take the door-sealing stone seriously. "The layout of this mechanism is really vicious. There are two door-sealing stones, light and dark." Uncle Wang put the gas lamp beside Uncle Hou Dao, looked at the huge gray stone at the door, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that the falling stones come first. It was carefully designed in the end, and the purpose was to lead the people on the side of the tomb to the corridor, and then seal off the escape route." "Actually, I've seen this dark stone a long time ago, and I also guessed that it uses the 'cable hanging stone' mechanism, and the step-on contact point is set somewhere in the dedication room, but I just don't believe that it can still work after such a long time. Uncle Hou Dao's leg seemed to be seriously injured, and he spoke intermittently, as if he was enduring the pain.And I was shocked when I heard it—someone must have touched the mechanism just now, otherwise it would have fallen for no reason. If it hadn’t been for the honest man pulling desperately, I would have been smashed into meat paste, or I would have been trapped in the dark corridor waiting to die.Who is to blame?I turned my head to Wei Jianguo, because he was the one who walked around before, and that movement was too strange... Looking at his nonchalant appearance now, could it be that he did it on purpose?I guessed endlessly, but I felt something was wrong - everyone is in the tomb, it is impossible to cut off the way out! "We are trapped here, what should we do?" At this moment, such a picture suddenly flashed in my mind-four white skeletons scattered on the ground full of ghost objects. "Don't panic, let's see what's going on with Uncle Hou Dao first." Uncle Wang was still very calm, he took out a cigarette, thought for a while and stuffed it back into his pocket. "Honest Boss, you didn't hurt your bones, did you?" I got up while talking, and gave him a hand. "I'm fine. Hehe! This can't kill us, it seems that this mechanism is not very good." Hou Dao forced a smile on his face. Although he knew that he was trying to ease the atmosphere, it did calm me down a lot. At this time, Uncle Wang took out two candles from his bag, placed them neatly, gave one to Wei Jianguo, and then turned off the gas lamp, "It's better to use candles in this situation, and save gas lamps and flashlights for emergencies." .” "Tianhua, from your tone yesterday, it seems that you are very familiar with the Three Realms Tomb. Is there any way to escape?" Wei Jianguo asked me calmly, facing me. I was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled the description of this type of tomb in the book.Although the Khitan people's understanding of the Three Realms is different from that of the Han people, judging from the layout of this tomb, it is similar to the Three Realms tombs in the Tang and Song Dynasties recorded in the data. The stone that seals the door, the three arches, and the three tombs... are all copied from the Han people. make law. Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling flustered, because the Three Realms tombs of the Han people are seamless, especially the tombs filled with funerary objects. Sand, no matter where you dig through, you will definitely die. "This Three Realm Tomb is a dead end, and there are almost no weak points. Now, we can only dig down, hoping to get through the bedroom next door, so as to have a chance to escape." I cleared my throat and tried to keep my tone calm. "What do you use for digging? Hand planing?" Uncle Hou Dao snorted, "Like this kind of bluestone floor tiles, it may not be broken with explosives. Besides, it is under the mountain. Even if you have tools, it will take three to five days." Don't try to dig it out." Uncle Houdao's preemptive speech left me speechless, thinking about it, too. Just now I just followed the script and completely ignored the reality.I let out a long breath helplessly, and suddenly thought that the three of them have been calm all this time, there must be a way, so I shut my mouth. "Director Wang, have you come across many such tombs?" After a moment of silence, Uncle Hou Dao spoke first. "Yes, they have been excavated in Shaanxi and Henan. Tianhua is right. The Three Realms Tomb is almost invulnerable. Once the door-sealing stone falls, you will have to wait for death. It will be a disaster if it is broken by fine quicksand." Uncle Wang habitually adjusted his glasses, then suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this is the tomb of the Khitan people. Although the layout is copied from the Three Realms Tomb, there is one obvious difference. There is an extra tomb passage. Just like the 'Road to the Underworld' above, it is a failure that is superfluous." "Tell me, Uncle Wang, what time is it, don't keep it up." "Well! These Khitan people believe in shamanism. Their teaching is that the soul is immortal, and they believe that the three realms of breaking, leaving, and destroying are interlinked, so there will be secret passages between the tombs. to and fro freely.” "Secret way!" I raised my voice involuntarily, like a drowning man seeing a piece of driftwood. "No wonder the candle flickered so much, so there is a secret passage in this tomb!" Wei Jianguo also called out, but his excited appearance gave people a very artificial feeling. "Then let's quickly find out the secret passage! To avoid long nights and dreams." The honest uncle pushed away my supporting hand, leaned against the wall of the tomb, and said pantingly, "This tomb is full of mud, I'm afraid it's the same as the underground river. It seems that if the water rises, we will have nowhere to escape." "I think the silt is semi-dry. It is probably brought in by the melted snow in early spring. It is summer now, and the water should only drop but not rise." Although Uncle Wang said this, he did not dare to neglect at all, and he quickly picked up the water. Backpack, holding a candle to the depths of the tomb. "No! From the perspective of Feng Shui layout, absolutely no one will let water flow through the tomb. Isn't that broken?" I became more and more confused. "Hehe! When the tomb was first built, of course it was not like it is now. You know, the underground river will slowly shift its position. After thousands of years of erosion, it has changed its course long ago." Hou Daobo leaned against the tomb wall and murmured calmly Muttering to himself, "What is eternal in this world..."
