Chapter 266 Living Figures
The mummy in the terracotta warriors twitched first, then reached out and grabbed Hu Jiu who fell next to him.
Hu Jiu didn't expect that there would be a mummy in the terracotta warriors, and it was a living mummy, so before he could react, the mummy grabbed his foot and bit it.
At this moment, Lao Si, who was standing by with quick hands and quick eyes, picked up the engineering shovel and slashed the neck of the mummy.
With a "click", the head of the mummy was cut off, but Hu Jiu's feet were saved.
Looking at the head on his feet, Hu Jiu sat there completely blank, seemingly frightened.
Mo Shouchen walked over and kicked the mummy's head away, then reached out and pulled Hu Jiu up from the ground.
"Didn't you say you can't use living people to make terracotta warriors? But why are there corpses in this terracotta warriors, and why can they bite people?"
Hu Jiu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He gasped for air in shock. After finally regaining his breath, he said:
"This is also the first time I've encountered living people being used as terracotta warriors. Many parts of this tomb have subverted my understanding. From now on, I can't take it lightly anywhere."
"Don't say it's useless. It's almost dawn if we wait any longer. Where is the imperial mausoleum?"
Scarface began to question Hu Jiu again, but because he almost got into trouble just now, he didn't do anything this time.
"Do you think I'm not in a hurry?"
Hu Jiu, who was almost killed by Scarface, said angrily: "The entrance to the main tomb must be in this accompanying tomb, but the owner of the tomb deliberately built some fake tombs and set traps inside to confuse the tomb robbers.
Or, so that your main tomb will not be easily discovered."
Scarface snorted coldly: "Does that mean you can't find it?"
Hu Jiu ignored Scarface's provocation. He took out the compass and tried to determine the direction. He found that the pointer on the compass was rotating erratically, as if it had been disturbed in some way.
Unable to determine the direction, he turned to Master Zhou and said, "Second Master, this burial chamber is very large and the terracotta warriors are intricate and intricate. It's like a maze. If you continue walking randomly, you may get lost, so I suggest you go back first."
At the entrance, and then figure out a way.”
Master Zhou had no other choice but to nod helplessly in agreement, but he still reminded: "It's really getting late, we'd better hurry up."
On the way here, because I didn’t know that there were mummies inside the terracotta warriors, there was no pressure along the way.
But when they returned to the original route, although they all took the same path, everyone walked cautiously and tremblingly.
They were afraid that if they accidentally knocked over the warriors, horrible mummies would crawl out of them.
And even if you keep a distance from these warriors, you always feel like there are countless eyes watching you, which is really scary.
When he arrived, Mo Shouchen calculated the time and found that he had probably walked for nearly half an hour.
Now we were walking back, because we wanted to avoid encountering the warriors, so we were going a little slower than when we came here. However, we only walked for more than ten minutes this time, and there was a stone gate in front of us.
Mr. Zhou also felt that the time was not right, so he asked: "Why did you return to the entrance so quickly?"
Hu Jiu shined a flashlight on the stone door, then shook his head and said: "No, there was a gap in the stone door we came in from, and there were stone statues holding swords on both sides of the stone door, but there is nothing here.
"
Master Zhou frowned: "Are you saying this is not the stone door we came in through?"
Hu Jiu nodded solemnly.
Scarface interjected from the side: "It's impossible. We walked in a straight line when we went there, and we walked in a straight line when we came back. We will never go wrong."
Hu Jiu said: "That's just because you think you are walking in a straight line based on your feelings. Human feelings are the most inaccurate."
"It's possible that these terracotta warriors are not simply funerary objects. They can also play a role in making us lose our sense of direction. You feel that you are walking in a straight line, but maybe we are spinning in circles in this funerary tomb."
Scarface said: "Why are you talking so much? Maybe you are blind and you are blind. You have just found the entrance to the main tomb. How about we first find out if there is a mechanism that opens the door. Is this the main tomb? Let's go in and take a look.
Can’t you tell by looking at it?”
Hu Jiu waved his hand: "No! Maybe the back of this stone door is a trap like the tomb chamber just now. If you enter rashly, you may be in danger."
"Then what do you think we should do? We can't find the main tomb chamber now, nor can we find the entrance. Are we just wandering around here?"
Hu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's try walking close to the wall this time."
Scarface raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Just now you said you wanted to go back the way you came, and now you say you want to walk against the wall. Aren't you wasting everyone's energy?"
Seeing that Scarface was always at odds with him, Hu Jiu said impatiently: "Then tell me what to do now!"
"Why would I hire you if I knew what to do? It's so unreliable!"
Scarface started to be unreasonable again. Hu Jiu felt that it was pointless to argue with people like him, so he turned to Mr. Zhou and said:
"The only way I can think of now is to walk close to the wall. How about you come up with an idea and see what to do next?"
Master Zhou thought for a moment, and then said: "Then let's try what Mr. Hu said first."
Mo Shouchen, who was standing aside, could see that Mr. Zhou was deliberately letting Scarface play the bad role this time, and then he stood up and played the bad side. He was very slick.
According to what Hu Jiu said, everyone started walking close to the wall, but not long after they walked out, they were blocked by a row of terracotta warriors pressing against the wall.
"Look, I just said it's useless to walk against the wall. It wastes a lot of time." Scarface said gloatingly from the side.
However, Hu Jiu didn't pay any attention to Scarface. He took out another fluorescent stick, broke it open and threw it forward against the wall.
The fluorescent rod drew a parabolic afterimage in the air. When it flew about ten meters away, the fluorescent rod hit the wall and then bounced sideways.
Seeing the direction in which the fluorescent stick bounced, Hu Jiu clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I know, this is indeed not a rectangle!"
As he spoke, he took out the compass again, and then stared at the surface of the compass and studied it attentively.
This time Scarface did not continue to find trouble. It seemed that he also knew that he could not disturb Hu Jiu at this time.
