I don’t know where this misty dust came from. When I held my breath, Mustache had already pulled me back to the entrance, crossed the several-meter-long passage, and quickly hid on the stone wall next to it.
, the people behind also jumped out quickly one by one. Only then did I see clearly that everyone's hair and clothes were stained with a very thin piece of white ash.
"What the hell is this!" Ma Dad immediately became furious and wiped the white dust on his body with his sleeves.
In a place like this, what kind of good thing would be the misty stuff that suddenly fell down? I was also very scared, because the back of my hands exposed outside the sleeves was also covered with a layer of it. I immediately went to wipe it off, but my skin was not.
There is no uncomfortable feeling. If you notice it carefully, this dust is not irritating and has no special smell. It is just like a piece of dust floating in the air.
"Is it the ashes accumulated in the cave?" the monk thought for a long time and said. None of us answered, because we really didn't know what it was, so we could only treat it as dust to calm our minds.
We got some water and washed away all the dust on our skin. Standing outside the entrance and shining a flashlight inside, the floating dust was very thin and there was no other abnormality. The dust fell to the ground silently because it was too fine.
Therefore, no obvious traces were left on the ground.
When the space inside completely returned to calm, Jiang Chen asked the guy to go in and take a look. We kept staring at him outside the passage. After seeing that he walked around safely, we felt a little more at ease.
Moreover, at this time, the idea I had before became clearer. As for the six-finger gate, I have analyzed it with Ma Dad before. It is not to block everyone, at least, not to block people with ring-shaped six fingers.
.So here in Targou, which Lu Xiuhuang carefully arranged, the gate seems to have undergone some subtle changes, and it is different from the previous Yuntan Peak and Hongshi Ao.
It's just a guess, but it's very likely that when we used violent means to force open the door, some semi-mechanical devices were activated, causing a chain reaction, causing many places inside to be in a very dangerous state. Because there are people who shouldn't come in.
People forcing their way in violates the original intention of building the gate.
After the guy stayed in the space for a long time, Mustache took us in. This time everyone was very careful and didn't dare to move anything. I don't know why, but when I went in for the first time, I really didn't
There are too many feelings, but at this moment, I feel flustered, as if the stone statues around me that have not been completely carved have a pair of cold eyes.
The space was not very large. The boy was ordered to go to the front to clear the way. Every time he reached a new entrance, he would be asked to go in first. This was obviously using people as cannon fodder, but the boy did not dare to say anything. Several people passed by him.
In my opinion, there seems to be no difference between these stone chambers, but Pengbo's eyes gradually brightened, and he said that there were changes in the stone chambers.
Specifically, the changes between the stone chambers were in the murals on both sides. Bloomberg was the first to discover it because he had studied these things deeply, and Xiaohu and the others also saw some clues.
"These murals were added by later people after the craftsmen here withdrew." Bloomberg looked at it carefully for a long time and came to this conclusion. The murals of Xixia buildings have a strong unique style. For example, today
The Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes we saw were the product of several repairs and reconstructions after the Xixia captured Guazhou and Shazhou and took control of the Dunhuang area.
This obvious style can be easily distinguished in the eyes of connoisseurs, so the murals here are not things left by the original builders. There are many murals, and I can't see very specific things, but I noticed that they seem to be continuity.
Narrative murals may carry a lot of unknown information.
What we lack now is information, so it is impossible for these murals to miss the past. Bloomberg is the main focus, and he immediately started to look around the murals. In the light condensed on the wall, I gradually saw the figure of a Taoist priest.
Is it Lu Xiuhuang?
My eyes began to blur. Every time this Taoist priest from hundreds of years ago appeared in my field of vision, it would give me an unprecedented feeling. He seemed a bit gloomy and a bit detached, and he was a very special one among all living beings.
"This must be related to Lu Xiuhuang!" Peng Bo looked at it for a while, then turned back to us excitedly and said: "It should be some important experiences that started after he entered the Taoist sect!"
"The previous ones were of little use." Mustache said immediately: "Look for some records after he entered the Xixia court."
"I try my best, but this thing needs to be read step by step. It is not a written record in the first place. If a part is missing in the middle, the subsequent content will be very obscure and difficult to understand."
There are so many murals that they spread throughout the entire stone chamber. When Bloomberg saw less than one-fifth of the time, several of us felt our noses itching, and from the projected light, we didn’t know when it started to drift.
The dust that came down was the same as the one we met before. It was not pungent and had no strange smell, but seeing it floating down made us feel uncomfortable.
"What should I do?" Bloomberg was looking at it enthusiastically, and felt that the dust did not seem to be harmful, so he stood in front of the mural and hesitated.
Kaka...
At this time, a very soft sound suddenly came from above our heads. This sound seemed a bit familiar, but I couldn't recall it for a while. But Mustache's face immediately changed slightly, and he grabbed it
I just pulled back. I was unprepared and almost fell down. But Mustache didn’t stop and dragged me directly to the door.
"Come back quickly!"
Before I could leave completely, a string of burning fire fell from above, and at the same time, a pungent smell of garlic wafted out. At this moment, I immediately recalled the clicking sound that once
Bantuo heard it underground, it was the sound of phosphorus fire falling to the ground and the sound of machine springs opening and closing.
This kind of fire is absolutely deadly. It burns tenaciously wherever it falls, and the white smoke it emits is poisonous. Several people inside followed and ran outside. They all had kung fu and their movements were very agile. Even Ma Dad ran very fast.
Only the guy was carrying heavy equipment, his movements were a little slow, and he was hindered by the phosphorus fire falling from the sky, so he fell behind.
I was taken outside by Mustache, and the situation got better. The air convection here was not strong, and the poisonous smoke dispersed very slowly. But I found that there was only one ball of phosphorus fire falling from above this time, even if it fell on the guy at the end of the team,
There won't be much danger.
Jiang Chen, Peng Bo, and Ma Dad stepped out almost at the same time, and the monk was in front of the guy. Before I could finish the thought in my mind, a large ball of dazzling fire exploded in the stone room, and a heat wave followed.
Shock wave-like airflow swarmed out, and the temperature was frighteningly high. At this time, I turned around to look at them. The heat wave was approaching, and I couldn't help but use my arms to block it, and my eyes were forced to narrow into slits.
Looking through the slit in my eyes, I saw the monk being thrown out like a sack by the huge impact force at the door of the stone chamber. The man who was still in the stone chamber was burned by an unknown high temperature.
It turned into a twisted fireball, very miserable. Immediately afterwards, Mustache pulled me aside hard. My eyes left the stone room, but then I heard an indescribable loud noise, as if there were tons of TNT behind me.
The stone chamber was detonated.
The entire stone chamber seemed to be exploded. Huge shock waves were still spurting out from the entrance with rolling heat waves. Jiang Chen dragged the monk from the front. At this time, it was like we were standing on the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt.
The stone chamber was trembling. The force of this explosion was truly astonishing. If you had been slower, the aftermath of the explosion alone would have blown people to pieces.
The guy had completely disappeared, not even a single bone was left. The monk was thrown hard and had some burns on his body, because the temperature of the heat wave just now was so amazing. If the monk hadn't been thrown out, he might have been burned.
Dirty.
We nested in a corner of another stone chamber, not daring to move. Before the ripples caused by the first explosion had completely stopped, there was another explosion in the stone chamber, and a violent burning fire came from the entrance.
We came out several meters away. The stone chamber we were in immediately turned into a preheated oven.
"That's where the explosives came from!" Ma Dad huddled in the corner holding his head and shouted loudly: "Did the explosives on that guy's back explode?"
"It can't be that the man's explosives were detonated!" The monk gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Has anyone been in here before?"
I was very nervous. I was next to Ma Dad, gasping for air. The high temperature generated by the explosion made the air scorch. This kind of violent and high-intensity explosion cannot be something that can be produced in Lu Xiuhuang's era. Although it was during the Song Dynasty
There is already gunpowder, but gunpowder cannot produce such great destructive power and high temperature. I also have to wonder, did this place have people coming in a certain period of time before?
But how is it possible? When we came here, the Six Finger Gate was intact and no one could pass through directly.
Along with the shouts among us, a third violent explosion sounded in the stone chamber. This really made people suspicious that someone had placed several piles of explosives in the stone chamber beforehand, causing a chain reaction of explosions.
"There have been fucking people here! How can there be oil and water here!" Ma Dad was almost stunned by the explosion, covering his ears and closing his eyes and yelled.
"No one has entered! Definitely not!" Bloomberg was forced to cover his ears. Regardless of whether we could hear it or not, he shouted directly: "There is no explosive! It's the dust! It's the dust!"
