Zhang Haike was caught off guard. He almost choked after being hit hard by the impact. His feet were pounding and he took a few steps back. He was still carried by the inertia and fell to the ground. He rolled down the slope with Zhang Zhuxun who rushed towards him.
.
When Wu Xie and his two men who were guarding the platform at the bottom of the slope saw this situation, they hurriedly dodged and warned anxiously: "Be careful, we are almost at the steps!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Haike felt a heavy knock on his back. Coupled with the weight of a person pressing on his body, the pain was doubled.
Fortunately, the step got stuck, and the momentum of the roll was suddenly reduced. Zhang Zhuxun quickly used his hands to support him, and leaned half of his body out, finally stopping the two of them.
"What the hell are you thinking?" Zhang Zhuxun stood up and stepped on the steps, rubbing his wrists and complaining, "Why are you standing in the middle? I almost fell to death because of you."
"Hey, let's be honest, I was the one who fell down and used it as a cushion. Can you, young man, please be considerate of me, an old man?" Zhang Haike lay on his back on the steps and covered his chest, feeling pain everywhere in his body.
He murmured in a moderate voice, "Who knew you would fly in so quickly? I was originally thinking of giving you a hand."
Zhang Zhuxun sneered, "Old man? An old man with strong muscles and strong bones who can kill a cow with one punch?"
"Hey, that's an exaggeration." Zhang Haike laughed out loud, his bones hurting from the shock, and he quickly touched it with his hand.
Suddenly, my fingers touched a hard object on the lock in front of the collar, which seemed to be a stone. When I pinched it and took a look, I found that it was an aqua-blue pendant.
"What is it?" Zhang Haike saw that the pendant was exquisitely made, and there was a white stone with a special shape embedded in it. He hooked the silver chain and shook it at Zhang Zhuxun, "Is it yours?"
Zhang Zhu took a look and subconsciously reached for his collar, only to find that it was empty. His expression suddenly changed and he said, "Give it back to me."
Zhang Haike saw that he had a strange look on his face, and felt that this pendant must be quite important to him, so he threw it to him without hesitation, "It's connected, it must have been disconnected when it rolled down just now, and it was caught by my zipper.
"
Zhang Zhuxun just checked the pendant and responded casually.
"What is this, so precious?" Fatty and Wu Xie walked up.
The fat man's eyes caught a glimpse of blue and white through his fingers, and he was stunned. With that shape, he always felt that he should have seen this thing somewhere.
Seeing that they were curious, Zhang Zhuxun didn't hide it and opened his palms for them to see.
The fat man took a quick look and suddenly realized, "Isn't this the stone that my brother gave you? You turned it into a necklace. Don't tell me, it's quite beautiful."
"What kind of stone?" Wu Xie took a closer look and saw that it was as blue as jade and had a filling in it. "This is a gift from my little brother? When did he give it to me? Why didn't I know?"
"When I was in Banai, I didn't know where I picked it up, so I gave it to him." The fat man smiled with nostalgia.
"You have one too?" Wu Xie felt a little tasteful for some reason. Is he the only one who doesn't have it? My brother has never given him anything as a gift.
The fat man curled his lips and said, "I have a hair. I use it to play with the children."
"Coax...huh?" Wu Xie was a little surprised, but then he thought, compared with his brother's age, Muyu, who is two generations behind him, is just a child.
At that time, Muyu had a lot of things on his mind and couldn't talk to anyone else. My brother probably noticed it and comforted him in his own way.
Zhang Haike on the side listened to their words and re-examined the pendant with some novelty.
Because his eyes were so obvious, Zhang Zhuxun noticed it, and immediately glanced at him warily, and put the pendant into a secret pocket close to his body, thinking that next time he would never take out what the little brother gave him in front of the Zhang family.
Yes, there are risks.
Everyone's attention returned to the environment they were in. In front of them was a corridor about two meters wide, with the walls on both sides made of stone bricks.
Zhang Haike picked up a cold firework and threw it at it. Half a second later, there was a slightly hollow impact echo from the other end, which did not sound like a stone slab.
Although the firelight flashed by, Zhang Zhuoxun and the others could still see clearly. There was a square, shallow pit between the bottom of the steps and the corridor. There were many pottery pots in the pit, each with a lid.
Although it is dusty, its appearance is very complete.
Wu Xie thought of the clay pots containing the Corpse Turtle King that he had come into contact with three times before, and his back instantly went numb, "No way, there are some here too?"
Zhang Zhuoxun shook his head, "It doesn't look like it, so it probably isn't. You guys stand back and I'll go over and take a look."
Wu Xie knew that his blood was a powerful weapon for the Corpse Turtle King, so he nodded and backed away with the fat man as he was told.
Zhang Zhuoxun walked a few steps forward and found Zhang Haike following him. Without saying anything, he squatted down in front of him and carefully opened the lid of one of them. It seemed to be empty inside, and there was a strong spicy smell.
Mixed with the smell of spoiled bitter wine, the fishy smell made Zhang Zhuxun frown on the spot.
"The wine jar is still broken." Zhang Haike also made an observation and commented, "It's not sealed properly. It's been covered for so many years and it's all gone."
Zhang Shuxun glanced at him with disdain, then turned the pottery pot over and knocked it on the ground. Some blackened blood scab-like things came out from the mouth of the pot, and large pieces dried directly on the bottom of the pot.
Zhang Zhuoxun then put his dagger in and pulled it a few times, then poked it, picked out the object and held it out in front of Zhang Haike.
Zhang Haike looked at this large piece of crinkled rice cake, which looked like internal organs, and was speechless.
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled. He held the dagger in one hand and pressed the thing to the ground. He pulled out the dagger again with the other hand and cut it into two pieces like a steak. After looking at it carefully, he said, "It's the lungs."
Well, it has been marinated in wine and lime. It has shrunk by at least half, so I don’t know if it’s human.”
The fat man came up from behind and affirmed after hearing this: "Then it's not human, and it's not a cannibal. As for pickling the internal organs until they look like vegetables."
Wu Xie also said: "This is already within the scope of the tomb passage, and it might be some animal's internal organs or funerary objects."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Chuxun was noncommittal. It didn’t matter whether he was a human or not, as long as he was not dangerous.
He picked the thing back into the jar piece by piece and put it back in its original place.
"Go forward, I see there is an ear chamber in front of you," he said.
The shallow pit where the jar is placed does not occupy a large area, so I can easily jump over it by jogging in two steps with help.
A group of people jumped over and continued walking forward. When they stopped about fifty or sixty meters away, they saw a large ear chamber on the left and right sides. However, the stone door of the right ear chamber was closed. After pushing it, they found that it could not be pushed, so they started to push it.
Look to the left.
As soon as you walk in, you will see many pottery pots just like the ones before, neatly arranged in a corner of the ground. On the other side, in the corner near the door, there are many daily utensils and hammers used for digging rocks.
some type of.
Further inside, there is a row of very long earthen kangs, which visually can accommodate more than twenty people lying side by side. The beddings on them are still there, but they have become very fragile due to weathering, and they scatter into cotton wool as soon as you lift them.
This place is full of traces of the lives of craftsmen in the past, and because of its hidden location, these traces are still well preserved.
Zhang Haike wrote something in his notebook as he walked. He turned around and said, "There is nothing to see here. Let's go to the opposite side."
Several people had no objections. The stone gate opposite was completely sealed and tightly closed.
Zhang Zhuxun and Zhang Haike went to touch both sides separately, but to their surprise, they did not find the mechanism that opened the stone door.
Wu Xie turned on the light and took a closer look at the stone door, comparing it with the surrounding stone walls. "This door was built later, so it is very likely that the mechanism to open the door is inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, "If you say so, isn't there someone else there?"
It seemed as if there was a small dark wind blowing from behind, and everyone cheered up in unison. If this was the case, then things would be a big deal.
Zhang Haike frowned and said, "The craftsman at that time locked himself in it? Why, there must be something terrible in it."
"Is there something terrible that even your Zhang family can't solve?" the fat man said in surprise.
"It has something to do with the corpse of the King of Hell created by the Zhang family." Zhang Zhuoxun said calmly, "The Zhang family created a disaster and implicated the Kangbalo people in it."
Zhang Haike frowned slightly, somewhat disapproving of his words.
Zhang Zhuoxun seemed to have not heard anything and continued: "Now that things have happened, I will no longer hide it from you. You will also be able to know the truth after opening this door."
"Rengolawa told me that the bronze door we blew open was made by the Zhang family themselves."
"What?" Wu Xie and Fatty were shocked at first, and then suddenly realized that the bronze door was actually fake. No wonder it shattered when it exploded.
If the truth behind it is this, then everything that happened before seems to become reasonable.
"So the bronze doors we saw before are actually hollow, with very complex mechanical structural supports inside."
Wu Xie recalled all the details he had seen before and compared them with the giant bronze door he saw at the bottom of Changbai Mountain. With the age and huge size of the giant door, it was impossible to support its own weight using a hollow structure.
of.
According to physical logic, that bronze door could not be opened in reality, and its details were far more complicated than the one he saw here.
Zhang Haike was not surprised, "When I came over and saw that door, I already suspected that it was a trap created by the ancestors of the Zhang family to lure all enemies here."
"That's not all." Zhang Zhuxun sighed, "They have created more than one door like this in the world."
"The German once saw a bronze door. Although he didn't know the exact location, I heard him call the bronze door the Gate of Praise to God."
Feng should have never been in it, otherwise he wouldn't be so obsessed that he died.
