Chapter 442 Catacombs

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In the tomb passage, you can still hear needles,

A few beams of flashlights shone on the wall, making the figures appear large and somewhat unreal.

No one spoke, because now we need to be quiet.

On the ground, an unopened can of beer slowly rolled forward and finally hit the wall at the corner of the tomb passage and stopped.

Brother Yu went over to pick it up, then rolled the can back, and finally rolled it to the feet of Bean Sprouts.

While the cans were rolling, I kept frowning and listening.

After hearing this, I shook my head and indicated that this area was normal, and I would try somewhere else.

Douyazai said, "Fengzi, does this work? I hear the same sound no matter what."

"Yazi, it's different, there are subtle differences," Baotou explained in a solemn voice, "Yunfeng is extremely talented. Currently, there are no more than seven people in our northern sect who can do this."

There is a skill in the Northern School called "echolocation", which is similar in nature to the legendary "hearing thunder". People without talent will never be able to learn it in a lifetime, but I mastered it when I was 18 years old.

Five meters is a distance, and we kept groping and searching in the ancient tomb.

"etc!"

In the zigzag tomb passage, about seven meters away, I heard something a little bit wrong.

"do it again."

The can rolled around on the ground again.

"Do it again!" I said loudly, frowning.

Brother Yu did it again.

I took a deep breath and said, "Turn your head, there's something wrong with the echo! It's right here! There's definitely something wrong!"

The head immediately demarcates the area and lets hands go.

The tomb passage was paved with bluestone strips. We used a crowbar to pry out all the bluestone strips in this area. At this time, the soil layer was exposed, and then we found a shovel and dug down.

"Holy shit! There's something!"

Not long after digging, Bean Sprout shouted first.

We dug up a large hard stone slab, very thick! The entire stone slab is embedded in the soil!

I tried
, it can’t be pried at all, the slate is too heavy!

He raised his head and said loudly, "Yazai, you and Wenbin are trying to force a corner! Yunfeng! You are ready to put some rocks on the ground!"

"Damn it, wake me up!"

Dou Sprouts half-stretched his body and pressed on the crowbar, his face turned red from holding back! He had used up all his strength to suck milk, and Brother Yu looked the same.

A corner of the huge stone slab was slowly pried up? With quick eyesight and quick hands, I quickly placed the stone underneath.

He quickly padded up two corners, asked everyone to lift his head, and turned the stone slab over.

With a muffled bang!

The big stone slab was turned aside by our combined efforts! At this time, a bottomless black hole was exposed on the ground.

I lay down on the side and looked inside with a strong flashlight.

Mysterious, dark, and profound.

The strong flashlight couldn't illuminate the bottom at all, and the darkness swallowed up all the surrounding light.

Brother Yu threw a stone, and it took a long time before he heard a slight echo.

I said in horror, "It's so deep! Look! This is at least dozens of meters deep! It seems to be a naturally formed cave!"

Dou Sprout said excitedly, "Whatever, Fengzi! I'll do it! I'll get off first! Maybe the treasures are hidden down there!"

Brother Yu said don’t be impulsive! It’s so deep, there may be a lack of oxygen underneath! It’s better to wait first.

It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that you can't avoid it. If you don't go down, you won't know what's underneath! After discussion, we unanimously decided to go down and have a look.

We found all the ropes we could use and tied them together! We smashed two crowbars into the ground in a cross shape! Then we tied the rope tightly to the crowbars.

Working in a group of two, Douyazai and I decided to go down first to get a feel for the situation. It would be too risky to do it alone, so at least the two of us could look after each other.

After checking the equipment, Douyazai and I grabbed the rope and started to

Climbing down, Brother Yu and Bao put their heads up and used flashlights to help us light up.

When he reached a depth of more than 20 meters, Dou Sprout suddenly shouted, "Fengzi, look! What the hell is this!"

I took a look! I saw several insects with legs crawling slowly on the wall, like cave millipedes or centipedes.

But these bugs are white. Where are the white centipedes? They are simply unknown creatures. I still don’t know what this thing is called. Let’s just call it a white centipede.

I told Bean Sprouts not to touch these bugs, as they might be poisonous, but Bean Sprouts didn't listen to me. He put his feet on the wall, grabbed the rope with his left hand, pulled out a knife from his waist with his right hand, and cut a white centipede into two pieces.

Later, Dou Sprouts happily let me look at it, but at this moment! The white centipede with only half left on Dou Sprouts' knife suddenly moved, crawled very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it crawled into Dou Sprouts' wrist along his wrist.

In sleeves!

Dou Sprout shouted! Suddenly the rope was dangling! He was shaking his arms desperately!

"coat!"

"Fuck! Take off your coat!" I shouted anxiously as I watched.

Dou Sprout quickly took off his coat and threw it away. At this time, I saw half of the white centipede lying on the back collar of Dou Sprout's sweater. I didn't know whether it was dead or alive. I shouted to him not to move! Then I

He grabbed the rope and swung it over, knocking the thing off.

Dou Sprout was sweating and gasped, "Fengzi! I feel like I've been bitten! What should I do? Is this thing poisonous?"

I yelled angrily, "You deserve it! Who made you move! I'm not a biologist! How the hell do I know if it's poisonous or not!"

"You asked me what to do! If it's poisonous! Just follow your local customs!"

After listening to my words, Dou Sprout's face turned red.

Encountering this unexpected situation, Dou Sprout became a lot more honest and continued to slide down. During this period, he saw several identical white centipedes, and Dou Sprout did not dare to touch them again.
> It took a full forty minutes to get to the bottom. If it were deeper, our rope would not be long enough.

After coming down, I straightened my headlamp and looked at my surroundings.

The headlight flashlight dispelled the darkness inch by inch, and suddenly! I saw the coffin! It was a huge granite sarcophagus!

On the left and right sides of the sarcophagus, there are two painted human-shaped tomb stone sculptures with ferocious faces! They are as big as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses! When you shine a flashlight on the face of the stone sculpture, it gives the impression that the eyes are protruding! They look fierce! Very scary!

After hundreds of years, the paintings on the stone sculptures are still very bright, especially the cinnabar red, which is exactly the same color as human blood!

This kind of large stone sculpture, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the coffin is very rare! This is not an ordinary tomb-suppressing beast. Tomb-suppressing beasts are usually placed at the door or in the tomb passage. This kind of painted one is called a "tomb-suppressing spirit"!

It can occasionally be seen in the Shinto of some large underground palaces in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that there are 160 tomb-stopping spirits in the Qianling Mausoleum of Wu Zetian! They were all made of living people sealed in clay figurines and burned! Because no one went into the Qianling Mausoleum.

I’ve seen it, so I don’t know if it’s true or false.

Not to mention the huge sarcophagus in front of me! Just looking at these two tomb-killing spirits made me tremble with fear! I doubted whether they were made of living people.

This is a national treasure. If it can be shipped out, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price! I have been in the industry for more than five years, and this is the first time I have seen a complete painted large-scale tombstone with my own eyes. From this, it is not difficult to judge how rare this thing is.

Dou Sprout was dumbfounded. After he realized what he was doing, he was about to go over. I stopped him and told him not to act rashly. The sarcophagus in front of him was not trivial. He had to wait until his head came down before he could make a decision.

After saying that, I took out my mobile phone and took several photos of the painted tomb spirit, preparing to send them to the buyer in the future.

After waiting for a long time, Baotou and Brother Yu came down. Even though Baotou was well-informed, he was very excited after seeing everything in front of him.

Needless to say, the person lying in the sarcophagus is either rich or noble.

There is an 80% probability that he is the Southern Song Dynasty general Lu Wende!
