After passing through the long and narrow corridor, Liu Jinsheng and others finally arrived at the tomb chamber.
When they walked out of the corridor, they all took a deep breath involuntarily. The walk along the way was really frightening. No one knew when they accidentally stepped on any mechanism, and then there were overwhelming arrows shooting out.
Or it could be a huge rolling stone, a collapsed stone slab, or something like that.
At this time, Liu Jinsheng and others used a mining lamp to illuminate the surrounding area, and all they saw was a square underground stone chamber. On the floor of the stone chamber was a large stone slab with ancient characters carved on it, showing the appearance of the Five Elements and Bagua.
Furnishings. The surrounding walls are also made of stone slabs, but on them are carvings of birds, animals, insect forests, and mountain scenery.
In addition to these carvings, in the middle of the stone chamber, a stone platform arched from the flat ground, which looked very eye-catching. Liu Jinsheng and others noticed it immediately.
There is a huge bronze four-legged rectangular cauldron placed on the stone platform. The entire bronze cauldron is about two meters high and one meter wide. It looks majestic and shocking. On the surface of the giant cauldron, in addition to some carvings,
In addition to ancient characters and birds and animals, there are also two bronze animal heads.
You can tell at a glance what this giant cauldron is used for, it is used to offer sacrifices to the gods. In ancient times, when princes and nobles were buried, they would kill the captives and then put their bodies into the cauldron as sacrifices to the gods.
.
"Haha... Boss, come and see, there are good things here."
Da Dao was the first to run towards the giant cauldron and arrived on the stone platform. He then heard him yelling in surprise at Li Changzhu.
"This troublesome guy really can't relax for a moment. If he moves things carelessly, he will kill us." Li Changzhu couldn't help but cursed and hurried over.
After hearing the greeting, Brother Chong, Donghai, and Xiao Feng also ran over, and then heard them laughing loudly. Apparently they had discovered something good.
At this time, Liu Jinsheng and Yin Hu did not go up to join in the fun, but started talking to the side.
"Yinhu, we have arrived at the front hall. Do you still remember the terrain here? Where did Shi Tieniu's accident happen?" Liu Jinsheng asked.
Yin Hu glanced around and said, "We haven't arrived yet. I remember that there is a tomb passage behind the altar, which leads to the tomb chamber at the back. That's where we triggered the mechanism."
Hearing this, Liu Jinsheng frowned slightly, and after humming for a moment, he said: "Okay, let's hurry up and rescue people. Our target is not these treasures anyway."
"Yeah!" Yin Hu nodded and suddenly said with worry, "But we have to be on guard against these people, they are very likely to take advantage of us."
"Hiss! I have also considered this issue." Liu Jinsheng said in a muffled voice.
At this time, at the altar, Donghai, with bold help, climbed onto the giant bronze cauldron, obviously intending to see what treasures were inside.
"Hey, you guys are so ridiculous. This giant cauldron is used to worship fashionable sacrifices. Do you want to be a sacrifice?"
"Haha, Brother Zhu, what nonsense worship is not ours yet." Brother Chong smiled nonchalantly from the side. He has always been an atheist, and he has always snorted at the talk of ghosts and gods, and doesn't care.
.
"Spit!" Li Changzhu was a little unhappy, spat, and said coldly: "What did you say before you came down? You promised to listen to me. Now come out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for not warning you, something big will happen."
Li Changzhu is the captain of the Mojin School. Their sect attaches great importance to the rules passed down by their ancestors. Every time they go to the tomb, they strictly follow the steps. However, with the development of today's society, many people do not believe in ghosts and gods, so they recruit
Newcomers don't like to follow the rules of the older generation, and this sometimes causes a lot of trouble.
Seeing Li Changzhu's gloomy face, Brother Chong didn't want to continue making trouble. After all, they were all rookies underground, but they all relied on Li Changzhu to take them out safely!
"Donghai, come down! Listen to Brother Zhu and stop fooling around."
At this time, Liu Jinsheng also came over. He was trying to persuade them to go to the tomb inside as soon as possible. But at this moment, people suddenly noticed something unusual. There was suddenly no sound from the East China Sea when they entered the giant cauldron.
"A Dong?" Brother Chong tried calling twice more, "A Dong, what are you doing? Come out quickly and stop playing."
"Donghai..." Xiao Feng also tried calling, but no one responded.
The people next to the giant cauldron suddenly became nervous, and they sensed something was wrong.
"Xiao Feng, hurry up and take a look." Brother Chong hurriedly ordered Xiao Feng beside him.
Xiao Feng received the order, jumped hard after a few run-ups, grabbed the edge of the giant cauldron with both hands, and climbed up. He climbed up to the giant cauldron, squatted on the edge of the giant cauldron, and turned on the miner's lamp to sweep into the giant cauldron.
Suddenly his whole face changed.
The people waiting below saw that something was wrong with his expression and immediately tensed up.
"How's it going? Is A Dong okay?" Brother Chong asked nervously.
"Brother Chong..." Xiao Feng looked back at the people below, swallowed, and said heavily: "Donghai...he is missing."
Boom!
In an instant, everyone present was shocked. "Gone"? What does it mean? What does "missing" mean? How could a living person, a man over 1.7 meters tall, suddenly disappear? How is this possible?
Almost at the same time, everyone's minds were in chaos, and they were caught off guard by this sudden change.
"Haha! Don't be kidding, how could he be gone?" Boldly twitched the corners of his mouth twice and said, "I obviously helped him up. I would have known about him if he came out, so how could he be gone?"
"Yes! Xiao Feng, look carefully, how could Donghai be missing?" Liu Jinsheng was also a little confused and asked hurriedly.
Xiao Feng's face was very ugly, and he didn't want to believe that this was true, but it was the fact. When the miner's lamp in his hand shone down, there was no one in the giant cauldron, except for a few headless skeletons that had long since decayed into white bones.
But there was no trace of the one in the East China Sea.
"Gulu!" Everyone swallowed silently. Although they were extremely reluctant to believe it, everything that happened in front of them turned out to be true. Donghai really disappeared suddenly under people's eyes.
"How is this possible?" Brother Chong's eyes widened, he looked at the giant bronze cauldron in horror, and took two steps back.
"Oh! I asked him to come out a long time ago, but he just didn't listen, and now something happened." Li Changzhu said with a serious expression.
"Brother Zhu, did you know that something would happen? Did you know that the East China Sea would disappear?" Brother Chong suddenly looked at him and asked.
"How could I possibly know, but this is an altar. In ancient times, it was a sacred thing and could not be touched."
When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. When Donghai disappeared, he happened to not be around, so he didn't know how he disappeared.
"Hiss..." Daudao suddenly shuddered and said shivering: "Do you think Donghai will be captured as a sacrifice by the monsters here?"
In an instant, the scalps of everyone present were numb, and a chill spread from the bottom of their hearts.
The altar used for burials in ancient times, the giant bronze tripod used to hold sacrifices, and now the mysterious disappearance of Donghai under the eyes of everyone, everything seems to be logical. Saying that he was kidnapped by the sacrifice seems to be the only explanation, but
Is this true?
Is there really some monster here that is 'eating' the sacrifices that enter the giant cauldron?
No one present knew the answer, or they were unwilling to admit this strange answer.
"Shut up! You idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Changzhu suddenly slapped Daring on the back of the head and angrily yelled: "Do you think it's still the ancient times? There are no ghosts and gods in this world, but I'm the fucking Zongzi.
I’ve killed a few, but I’ve never encountered a ghost before!”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little calmer, yes! Let's not talk about whether there are ghosts. Even if there are ghosts, there are so many people here, are they still afraid of a ghost on the other side? You know, in order to go to the ground this time
, Brother Chong specially found someone to buy a few hard goods, such as the May 4th-style pistol and even a semi-automatic submachine gun.
"What should we do now?" Xiao Feng came down from the giant cauldron and asked.
Everyone present didn’t know what to do for a moment?
It stands to reason that since Donghai has disappeared, everyone should find him first, but now they don't even know when Donghai disappeared or why, let alone find him.
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Brother Chong. Donghai was his subordinate. The choice he made was related to his life and death. Naturally, he had to make this decision.
Brother Chong's face was very gloomy. No matter what choice he made, it was very difficult. Being able to make a big man disappear without a sound was the first sign of danger. When searching for the whereabouts of Donghai, they were likely to encounter
What a danger. But not looking for it means giving up the East China Sea, which is also equivalent to a death sentence for him.
"Brother Chong, we can't save him."
Xiao Feng, who was on the side, obviously saw Brother Chong's hesitation, so he took the lead to speak his mind for him.
Li Changzhu had been around for so long and had already become tactful. He said, "I have told you before that you should not touch things without my consent. No one would want anything to happen to him, but he also asked for it himself. No one else is to blame."
After saying that, he glared boldly, turned around and said to everyone: "Let's leave quickly. This tomb has an evil energy. We can't stay for a long time. After getting our things, we should leave here immediately."
After saying that, he got off the altar first and walked towards the tomb passage behind the altar. This is just the front hall, the real treasure is still inside! Large tombs like this usually have a side hall dedicated to placing funerary objects, located at
The innermost part of the ancient tomb.
When the others saw this, they could only hurriedly walk down the altar and follow him. They did not dare to stay for a moment longer next to the strange giant cauldron that swallowed up the East China Sea silently.
Seeing Li Changzhu and others finally move on, Liu Jinsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was still thinking about how to urge them to hurry up!
Suddenly, Liu Jinsheng felt a chill on his back and hurriedly shined the miner's lamp behind him, but there was nothing except the carvings on the numerous stone slabs. Just now, he seemed to feel that someone was watching him secretly.
"Am I overthinking it?" Liu Jinsheng thought to himself.
