"Wait a minute, brother-in-law, let the air circulate inside a little bit. I'm afraid there will be a lack of oxygen inside. Let's wait patiently here. It's still safe for the time being." I was about to go in when Jiao Ba shouted to me to stop.
.
A group of us were staying at the bottom of the cave. I suddenly asked Mr. Mai, "Old Mai, what happened to those dead bodies of the Qing soldiers?"
"I don't know. At that time, a violent storm suddenly came. After we avoided the violent storm, the day began to turn blood red. It was at this time that the dead bodies of these Qing soldiers crawled out of the ground.
Come out, my God, I can't even imagine that there are so many dead people buried at the foot of the mountain." Mai Lao said in a heavy tone.
"There is nothing strange about burying these people. We have already investigated clearly. All the corpses in that large cemetery are from the Ming Dynasty. This is the key. Why are the people from the Ming Dynasty buried in the same place as the people from the Qing Dynasty?
Is there any problem here?" Jiao Baleng looked at Mr. Mai and asked.
"I also want to know this. How could these people from the Ming and Qing dynasties be buried on a desert island at the same time? Did they live on this island first?" Mai Lao touched it thoughtfully.
said.
"In my opinion, people from the Ming Dynasty should have come here first to survive. The grave bags are a proof. Someone was buried after death, which shows the situation at that time. And those Qing soldiers were all thrown into the massacre collectively.
Inside the pit, if they hadn't crawled out from the ground, who would have known there were dead people buried there."
"As soon as these two groups of corpses met, they started fighting each other non-stop. I guess that before they were alive, these Qing soldiers should have discovered this island. They wanted to occupy it, so the two sides became like this." Chang Shanbu said.
Don't be slow and say it with confidence.
"Even if that's what you said, why do these Ming Dynasty people want to live on this island?" I looked at Chang Shan and asked.
"Well...I can't figure out for the time being why they lived on this island before, and why they ended up like this in the end. These things are very crucial and should be one of the secrets hidden by this island."
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Haha, don't worry, the secret of this island cannot be hidden for long, someone will always let us know."
"Jiao Ba, what do you mean by this?" Jenny asked a little confused.
"It's nothing, I just said this nonsense casually, it should be almost done, I'll go over and take a look."
Jiao Ba walked to the front of the intersection and shined a flashlight around him. Then he walked to one side and touched around the wall with his hands. Then he went to the other side and also groped for something on the wall with his hands.
.
"Hey, old man, what are you doing?" What is he touching there? Just leave quickly.
"Found it." As soon as Jiao Ba finished speaking, he pushed up with one hand. It was like a wrench in a mechanism. Suddenly, there was a sound of 'coaxing', and flames ignited above the entrance. The flames followed
The entrance was lit up one by one, and in an instant, the entire passage was illuminated.
Jenny looked at the lighted passage in front of her and asked in surprise, "Oh my god, it's such a long passage. Where does this road lead to?" This passage has no end at all, unlike the tunnels in the mountains.
almost.
"I don't know, Lao Ba, where do you think this leads to?" I touched Jiao Ba and threw the question to him.
Jiao Ba smiled casually and said, "Haha, let me tell you, this path most likely leads to a cemetery."
"Cemetery? No way. This should be the way to escape, right?" the big man said with some disbelief.
"I just personally feel that this passage is too similar to the passage of the ancient cemetery palace. If I am not wrong, this mountain is probably a whole mausoleum, a very large mausoleum." Jiao Ba turned to look.
caught everyone's eye.
After he finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised. Even Mai Lao said, "Mausoleum? Whose mausoleum would be built on a desert island?"
"I don't know this either. I just made a guess based on the analysis of everything on this island. There is a curse here, and there is the mysterious old man who looks like a tomb guard, plus the passage on the top of the mountain. What do you think?
Aren't the conditions enough?" Jiao Ba said with a strange expression.
"What Jiao Ba said makes sense. It's not impossible. I believe this is the next stop we are looking for. Maybe all the answers lie in this mountain." After Chang Shan finished speaking, he glanced at Jiao Ba intentionally.
.
I took a closer look at the entrance to the underground passage. On both ends of the entrance, every one meter, there was something like a small iron basin, and each of the small iron basins had a candle. That was what I just saw.
Candles lit up the entire passage.
This passage is about three meters high and two meters wide, in the shape of an arch bridge. On the walls on both sides of the passage, there are some large blue stones. There are patterns on the stones, but they are not made artificially.
It is the pattern that the stone itself has. At a glance, you can tell that this stone is not an ordinary bluestone.
I touched it with my hand. It was cold, as if I had touched an ice cube. It felt very similar to the underground palace Jiao Ba said. Is there really a mausoleum here? Whose mausoleum could be so huge?
What about the scale?
Apart from the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, I can't think of anyone else who could build his own mausoleum in a big mountain. Even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to occupy the entire mountain by themselves.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was built to be as majestic as a mountain. So, the barren mountain on this small island is actually not a mountain at all. It was originally a mausoleum, but it looks like a mountain, so we mistakenly thought it was a big mountain.
After I thought about this, even I was surprised. Who could be the person who could build a mausoleum as big as a mountain? Such a large scale is beyond the reach of even the emperor.
Could it be the mistress of Fengpei? Apart from her, I can't think of anyone else. But one thing I can think of is that it is just because it is a desert island that it can build such a large mausoleum.
In mainland China, it is absolutely impossible.
"Lao Ba, do you think... is it possible that this is a mausoleum and not a mountain? We simply mistakenly thought it was one." I asked softly.
"What Zhongyi said makes sense. I feel it is possible, very possible. This is not a mountain at all, but a mausoleum." Chang Shan said with shining eyes.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by Jiao Ba, "It's basically impossible. To build such a large-scale mausoleum on this desert island is simply fantastic. You have all seen that this mountain
How big is it? It’s not realistic to build it with a flat bottom.”
"Xiao Ba is right. This place is surrounded by the sea. In terms of the capabilities at that time, it couldn't have been built on flat ground. This island should have been there before." Mr. Mai also agreed with what Jiao Ba said.
Jenny and others also nodded, and Li Xin also said, "I think so. It's not easy to dig a hole in this mountain, let alone build such a large mausoleum. It's impossible without all the materials."
But don’t come.”
"If there is really a tomb here, whose tomb would it be?" I turned to look at Jiao Ba and asked.
"I don't know, but the most likely person is from the Ming Dynasty. As for who it is, I don't dare to say nonsense." Jiao Ba did Tai Chi, but what he said was not on point.
I turned my attention to Mai Lao and Chang Shan again. These two people might be able to know something about the inside story.
Chang Shan looked at me and said, "I feel the same way. Those Ming Dynasty corpses seem to be guarding this island. Maybe... those Qing soldiers discovered the secrets of this island and in order to rob certain things,
That’s why we had to start a war.”
"It's very possible, but if we want to solve this mystery, we can't find out until we go in." Mr. Mai said with a cold face.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
As soon as the big man took a step, he was caught back by Jiao Ba, "You don't want your life. Do you know if there are any traps inside? If there are really tombs, then this passage might be full of traps. You
If you go in so recklessly, it doesn't matter if you die, but don't implicate everyone." Jiao Ba spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone, almost glaring and gritting his teeth.
"You... are you the one who talks like that? It doesn't matter if I die, don't implicate everyone. Why are you like this, Jiao Ba? I wonder if I haven't offended you?" The big man was a little unjust, and his unintentional actions, but
Let Jiao Ba suffer a meal.
I couldn't stand it, "Old Ba, can you please be a little more measured in what you say? The big guy didn't offend you, how could you say that to him." I opened my mouth and cursed Jiao Ba, and then hurried to the big guy.
Shoulder said, "Brother, don't be angry. He's just like this, he's always nagging. Sometimes I don't even bother to pay attention to him."
The big man stared angrily, but still didn't have an attack.
Jiao Ba stood at the entrance of the passage, turned around and looked at me and said, "I meant well, but if something really happened, I would have been scolded."
"Okay, just say a few words less."
I gave him a wink. How long has it been since we were still arguing? To be honest, the big man is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is quite warm-hearted and a very kind person.
I have been observing for so long, and among our group of people, including Jenny, I am sure that there is some kind of Xiao Jiujiu in mind, and it is probably because he has no scheming.
Don't look at Jenny's expression of not understanding anything all day long. Just because she can withstand so many strange things, she is not an ordinary woman. What is the purpose of going to sea this time? She has been hiding it. Several times
When I asked her, she said she didn't know. I don't believe it when people are fooled.
"Jiao Ba, if there is really a trap here, how should we get there?" Mai Lao asked him.
But in the end, Jiao Ba asked him, "Don't you know how to live?" This tone was obviously questioning, not with good intentions...
