Chapter 68: The Disappearing Channel
If there is really a fire cave, it means that the tomb pit in front cannot be gone, and anyone who goes there will be disaster! The most feared thing for those who fight is the fire cave. The wooden coffin is divided into water and fire, which is very evil.
The so-called water cave is because the quality of the tomb passage is not very good. If the water pit falls, it can drown people alive if it falls. Just like when we first came to the tomb, the large tomb we encountered in Niuzigou was one of the water caves.
But that is fine, at least you can try it with good equipment, but the fire cave is different. The better the quality of the pit, the tighter the seal. After the pit is opened, flames will spew out of it, which is enough to burn people to death.
There are two types of fire spurted out from the pit. One is naturally formed, which is the white phosphorus emitted from the corpse. If you only encounter this, you can risk trying it. After all, the amount of white phosphorus that can evaporate from the corpse is limited. As long as the coffin is placed in an open area, let the white phosphorus evaporate naturally and it will be fine if it is completely dispersed.
But the current situation can only be the second type. That kind of fire did not form naturally, but was one of the anti-theft methods arranged by the princes and nobles in ancient times, also called "Fuhuo" (in fact, it belongs to the same routine as the Tianbao Glazed Glazed Top, but there is almost no way to crack it).
Most of the reasons for the formation of this kind of fire is combustible gases. As for how these gases are formed, there are many different opinions, and it is unknown. The second master introduced it in his Feng Shui notes, saying that the fire is actually "dan fire". The ashes of the Taishang Laojun burned the furnace, of course this is superstition.
However, our ancestors in China believed in becoming immortals and immortality. They have done many ridiculous things to "become an immortal". Since ancient times, it is not only Taishang Laojun who can refine alchemy. There are many alchemists and sorcerers in the ancient royal court harem, and many of them have real skills.
Although there are almost no one who can live forever when truly practicing salted eggs, many people have created good things in the process of alchemy, such as *, which is known as the "Four Great Inventions", which is tinkering with them.
In addition, of course, there are other things, such as these combustible gases filled in the pit, which were originally just "crystalline particles" refined, so when the tomb is dug and placed in the coffin, these people will place the solid "fire" in the tomb.
After years of changes, the solid "fire" will slowly evaporate, turn into gas, and mix in the air, and its power is much more terrifying than white phosphorus. Once the tomb passage is opened and the air is penetrated, it will burn in almost an instant. The power of this thing is the same as the "Tianbao Glazed Glazed Top", which is enough to burn the entire tomb.
The difference is that I have a way to crack the Tianbao Glazed Glazed Top, but there is no way to solve the problem of "Fuhuo". This is a method invented after the Sui and Tang Dynasties to prevent tomb robbery. It is very advanced and has a high technical content. This is the one that is most afraid of when fighting back.
To be honest, I was a little scared. These things were beyond my cognitive scope. I couldn't tell whether the fire was at work. I just felt a chill when I looked at the guy who was burned to the point of not even leaving my ashes.
If you walk for a long time, you will definitely hit ghosts. Will Ge Zhuang and I have such a day?
"Look, there is something wrong with this person's corpse. His cause of death was not burned to death!" Old Zhong squatted on the edge of the corpse for a while, and suddenly turned around and said to us.
"What's the problem?" I came back from my shock and walked towards him. When I saw Lao Zhong gently picking up a bone that had not yet turned into powder, saying, "Look, there are deep knife marks on this person's bones. He just turned his back to us, so everyone didn't see it. Look at the marks on the knife marks, basically from the shoulders to the abdomen. The bones below have knife marks, and even the ribs are broken."
I was puzzled and asked Lao Zhong, how big a knife is needed to cause such a wound? Lao Zhong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It is not that the blade is big, which can cause such a scar. The arm strength of the man who takes the knife is amazing. I am confident that I can cut such a hole in a person's body with a knife, but I cannot cause such a scar on the ribs and shoulder blades of the corpse. The power in this person's hands is too terrible, and humans may not be able to do it!"
I exclaimed, "Not a human, what is that? Could it be..."
Speaking of this, I subconsciously shut up and almost jumped out the word "zongzi". I can't talk nonsense after I got off the tomb. This is a taboo in the industry of backfighting. Although Ge Zhuang and I have violated this taboo many times, the result of every time we violate the taboo is bad. In this case, I can only pray in my heart and never meet the main owner in this tomb.
Now we have completely lost the people. The passage in this tomb is very strange. I guess the passage we passed by when we came down was different from the route of the foreigners. As for how the corpse in front of us was separated from the team, I couldn't make it clear that I came here. In short, everything was unknown.
I stood up and said to the two of them, "Let's go, you can't go ahead. If there is really a fire pit, you have to hang one. Go back first. Let's try our best to find the Kanto Army ruins to be true."
People should not be greedy enough. The treasures that Kenjiro Fujino's grandfather plundered during the war have become an innumerable wealth. If that is the case, why should we still forget this Goguryeo tomb?
Ge Zhuang also agreed with me, saying that's right, no wonder this tomb is so close to the underground base. No one in the gang of Japanese devils had robbed the tomb back then. Such a dangerous place is really not something that people can do. Let's go and find out if there is any other way out.
We stood up and prepared to return along the passage when we came, but this time, an incredible situation happened again. The passage had disappeared before, and there was another wall behind it.
"It's in Male Gobi. The terrain here is like a rotating gyro. Let's wait. I hope the passage can be turned back as soon as possible!" Ge Zhuang cursed at the bare stone wall.
With our previous experience, we already knew that the tomb pit was rotating, just like a millstone. As for the passages we walked through, the "eyes" on the millstone. There were more than one such eye, so we missed it with the foreigners in front of us.
No matter how it turns, there is always a time point where the disappearing channel will turn back again. Perhaps the second channel appears is no longer the one we just walked through, but no matter what, as long as there is a channel, we will not be trapped here.
Thinking of this, the three of them had to sit down and wait quietly while smoking. Lao Zhong looked down from time to time to look at the watch. About half an hour later, we were a little uneasy. Look at me, and I look at you, and you look confused. Why hasn't the passage turned around again after so long?
