Chapter Fifty-six: The Scary Fire Cave
It is said that the angel Yaomei'er, who was as beautiful as a flower, was stabbed in the heart by a terrifying armed puppet with a ghost-headed sword. She fell to the ground on her back, her eyes closed tightly, and she was unconscious.
The seventh brother was shocked and hurriedly protected Angel Yaomei'er. In desperation, he grabbed a puppet with one hand and used it as a weapon. Just like Dian Wei, the general of the Three Kingdoms, he wielded the puppet and attacked fiercely, mowing down a large area and leaving the rest of the puppets.
People were also knocked to the ground by the five monsters and lost their fighting power.
Brother Qi then swung his hands, and the two armed puppets flew out, hit the hard tomb wall, and crashed twice! They fell to pieces.
These armed puppets, which are similar to the mechanical principles of wooden cows and flowing horses in the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty, were completely defeated by the Seven Tomb Robbers and could never get up again.
Brother Qi sat on the ground, picked up Angel Yaomeier's head, let her rest on his strong thighs, unbuttoned her mouse top, and was surprised to find that Angel Yaomeier was wearing chainmail and had not been pierced through the heart.
, and then I felt relieved.
Angel Yaomei'er woke up leisurely with her eyes closed and teeth clenched for a long time. When she saw Brother Qi hugging her head, Angel Yaomei'er smiled happily, even a little unwilling to get up, and wanted to stay like this forever.
Lying in Brother Qi's arms, resting on his strong thighs, I feel not only safe, but also happy and comfortable.
Seeing that Angel Yaomeier had woken up, Brother Qi took a long breath and said: "Yao Meier, you scared me, you thought..." Brother Qi swallowed the second half of the sentence.
go back.
Then, he lowered his head curiously and asked, "When did you put on this chainmail armor? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Yes, although the two people seemed like one person, Brother Qi had never seen Angel Yaomeier wearing this chainmail before. He recalled that since the penultimate night of his last trip to Beijing and Mangshan, he had
The two of them have never had such good things together.
Seeing Brother Qi asking about this chainmail, Angel Yaomeier hurriedly put on the mouse clothes, stood up and said, "Don't worry about it, I won't die anyway."
Brother Qi looked at Angel Yaomei'er, then at the surprised and curious Five Monsters, and stopped asking any more questions. As long as his beloved woman was not dead, he shouted harshly, "What are you looking at? Let's do some work."
!
After speaking, Seventh Brother went in front, Six Monsters and the Little Howler Monkey came behind. They tentatively walked towards the third tomb chamber, but were blocked by the closed granite tomb door.
On the two extremely heavy tomb doors, there is a three-dimensional bronze ghost face as big as a washbasin on the left and right. The two ghost faces have green faces and fangs, with ferocious faces and fierce eyes, making them look very mysterious and terrifying.
Although the two ghost faces are colorful, the ghost face on the left is mainly light white, and the evil ghost face on the right is mainly black and red.
When Brother Qi, who has been through the test of life and death for a long time, saw these two grimaces, he smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum! This is what makes Brother Qi extraordinary...
Because he has recognized that this kind of grimace belongs to the "Yin Yang Twin Ghosts of Life and Death" anti-theft door!
The scary thing about this kind of mechanism is that if you press the wrong grimace mechanism, even if you die, the triggered mechanism will also force you to drink such an unimaginable pot, making it difficult for the tomb robbers to escape.
Thus it became a burial object for the owner of the tomb.
Brother Qi took out the secret treasure map from his arms, looked at it for a long time, then opened his mouth for the second time and smiled brightly again.
I saw him tucking the treasure map into his arms and telling everyone to stay away from the tomb door. He stretched out his right hand and slapped the hollow light-colored ghost face on the left three times to see if there was any danger! Then he grabbed
The copper ring on the ghost's nose was slowly twisted three times to the left, and two heavy tomb doors were seen, which rumbled into the tomb walls on both sides and opened.
However, at this moment, a powerful stream of air suddenly spurted out from the tomb chamber, and was immediately ignited by the big pipe on Brother Qi's mouth. The tomb chamber and the doorway inside suddenly became a sea of fire.
The six monsters were startled when they saw Brother Seven, he let out an ouch, and under the impact of the huge air current and fire wave, he did a backflip and shouted loudly at the same time: "The fire cave is coming, run quickly."
Before he finished speaking, the Six Monsters and the Seventh Brother, together with the little howler monkey, ran desperately through the first and second tomb chambers and towards the robbery cave outside.
The flame behind him was like a ferocious and crazy red fire dragon, roaring like crazy, chasing the seven tomb robbers behind him! The seventh brother who was running at the end was unfortunately on fire.
The seven tomb robbers hurriedly escaped from the cave. The seventh brother rolled on the ground like a horse before the fire on his body was completely extinguished and his hair was almost burned off.
"It's so dangerous. Although we successfully opened the mechanism, I really didn't expect it to be a fire hole!"
The Six Monsters, who were still in shock and had narrowly escaped death, suddenly heard the words of the Seventh Brother who was almost burned out. They thought he was burned and frightened.
Angel Yaomei'er looked at Brother Qi's back and saw that the mouse suit on his upper body had been burned. Brother Qi simply took it off, took out the treasure map and Huang Sui'er's green flute from the inner pocket in front of the clothes, and threw them away.
I took off my clothes and was glad that the treasure map was not burned.
Then I felt that the skull in my waist was still there, and I became even more happy. I really survived the catastrophe, and I will be blessed in the future.
Angel Yaomeier hugged Brother Qi tightly from behind, put her head on his solid back, and asked with distress and fear: "Brother Qi, are you scared and confused? Why are you so happy?"
Brother Qi was shirtless, showing muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger, the current American star. He laughed and said: "What we encountered is a fire cave, also called a fire pit tomb. It is usually sealed with white plaster mud and charcoal."
In the environment of constant temperature and humidity deep underground, when the things in the tomb deteriorate and rot, methane gas will be produced. When we suddenly open the tightly sealed tomb door, these gases will start whirring when they encounter the fire on Brother's pipe."
Angel Yaomeier whispered: "Gua Wazi, why are you so happy?"
Brother Seven laughed loudly and said: "Although the fire cave is dangerous, tomb thieves all hope to encounter such a nest, because in ordinary fire caves, the treasures inside are damn intact, with almost no damage, because this fire cave
No one has ever opened the cave."
At this time, Snake King Erdan was very puzzled and couldn't help but interjected: "You, you, you, how do you know that no one has ever opened it?"
At this time! Brother Qi, who had his upper body muscles exposed, had already broken away from Angel Yaomeier behind him, turned around and patted her shoulder. After comforting Angel Yaomeier who was frightened for him, he tilted his head and faced Snake King Er.
Dan said: "Once the fire hole is opened, all the methane will leak out. Don't worry about whether it encounters an open flame or catches fire. Once the dense methane leaks from the hole, it will not accumulate again in the future, and it will not work."
It’s a fire hole.”
Snake King Erdan: "Ahhhhh, that's it! I understand."
Brother Qi is indeed right! Huodongzi will burn brightly when it encounters an open fire, but generally it has nothing to do with will-o'-wisps! For example, the famous Mawangdui Han Tomb unearthed in Changsha after the founding of the People's Republic of China was a firedongzi when it was discovered.
This kind of fire cave that might burn people alive is a very rare type of ancient tomb. However, a few decades later - that is, around 1949 in Changsha, seven or eight tombs were discovered.
A Huodongzi! In addition! There are many records in history books about the terrible situation of fire in "Huodongzi": "Fire came out of Tibet, burning and killing hundreds of officials"...
But! The seven tomb robbers who escaped from death are not paper tomb robbers.
At about noon, they killed another carbine and entered Li Yu's imperial mausoleum chamber for the second time. Because the seventh brother had already found out that the fire had been extinguished two hours ago, and at this time there was still a fire in the imperial mausoleum.
