From the inside, it seems that the hole was dug very hastily and is very narrow, making it very difficult for me to drill through it with my body.
After climbing a few meters, a new problem arose in the cave ahead. More than half of the tunnel was covered with soil, leaving only a half-foot-wide gap at the top.
When I saw all this soil, I realized that this was actually an escape hole. Filling the hole with soil is a quick way to make a hole, that is, making a hole and drilling directly into it, and the excavated soil will go directly into the hole.
Throw it behind you, so you won't have to deal with the problem of making dirt, and the hole will be dug very quickly.
But this also has disadvantages. This kind of hole theft is only suitable for short distances, and it is only one-time. That is, after passing through, there is no intention to come back again. In this industry, it is called "country mouse style" hole theft, which means just drilling forward.
, completely ignore it later, and it is also one of the most common means used by tomb robbers to escape.
I had no choice but to follow that person's method and move all the dirt from the front to the back. It was very laborious to do this in such a small space. It took me two hours to advance a few meters.
When I had advanced about ten meters, the front finally came to an end. I let out a sigh of relief. I was already exhausted and exhausted. If I kept digging like this, I would sooner or later die from exhaustion.
I put away the tools and didn't get out immediately. Instead, I picked up a flashlight and looked outside. Only then did I realize that this was actually a stone chamber, and its area was much larger than any stone chamber I had ever seen.
There are four huge stone pillars supporting the dome inside, and there are many huge sarcophagi placed in the middle. There is also a door at the deepest place, which leads to somewhere unknown.
My heart beat hard. There were so many sarcophagi here. It was similar to the one that Shuiyue and I had gone to before to avoid the monster. But this place was like an enlarged version. Not only were the stone coffins
Even bigger, even the sarcophagus is bigger. Could it be that this was a more important burial place for people of that period? I thought to myself.
I didn't see anything unusual, so I cautiously got out, took a general look, and found some strange places. The sarcophagi here were placed without any rules. They seemed to be placed completely randomly, unlike what we had seen before.
Those are placed in a fan shape. The higher the status of the person, the higher the position of the sarcophagus.
Moreover, the lids of some sarcophagi were opened, but I was not surprised to think that people had come here decades ago.
I walked to a sarcophagus and took a look. The strange thing was that the sarcophagus was empty, with nothing inside. I bravely opened an unopened sarcophagus, but it was still empty inside. From various reasons
From the signs, these sarcophagi have been used before, but why are they all empty now?
Although I was confused, not seeing those hideous corpses made me feel a lot less stressed. At least I didn't have to worry about a monster suddenly emerging from any coffin.
But then I suddenly remembered something. If there was nothing here, why did that person run for his life? No one would do meaningless things. That person must have encountered great danger here and had no way out.
I only dug the robbery hole when I was young, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape the fate of death in the end.
Sweat began to form on my forehead. Only in hindsight did I realize the seriousness of the matter. How did that person get in in the first place? If there was a way out here, why did he dig that hole? This is
Doesn't it prove that this is a dead end?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and the emotional change made me feel that the stone chamber suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if there was an evil thing hidden in each of the stone coffins, and it was ready to come out and kill me at any time.
Thinking of the stone path that I can't get out of, could it be because there is something unclean here?
"Pap."
Those dull sounds came into my ears again. The sound came from the giant door at the deepest place. It temporarily replaced the sarcophagi and attracted all my attention. I still imagined the sound in my mind.
But the more I thought about it, the more I felt more and more cramped and uneasy.
What should I do? I can't make up my mind. But when I think about that robbery hole, I seem to have to give up my plan to go back. I don't have the energy or physical strength to go through that country rat-style robbery hole again.
Since I want to stay here, the most important thing is to find a way out. It is clear at a glance that there is no way out of the huge stone room in front of me. The only thing left is the huge stone door that makes sounds in the dark depths. But I always feel that there seems to be a place there.
It's an ominous place, so I'm a little hesitant.
It's just that I don't have any choice in the situation I'm facing now. This is my only way out at the moment. After thinking about it again and again, I finally decided to go in and check it out.
The layout of this stone chamber is very strange. The corridor a few meters wide in the middle is very low, while the places where the sarcophagi are placed on both sides are very high. People walking down there will see shadows due to the limitations of the light, as if there are many ferocious monsters squatting on both sides.
, giving people a very great sense of oppression.
It took me a lot of courage to walk to the huge stone door in the depths. This is a huge doorless door. What blocks the space on both sides is an uneven stone wall, and the protruding stone walls caused by mining
The jagged and strange rocks look like little monsters struggling to come out of the mountain, which makes people feel very weird.
It was completely dark inside the giant door, and I couldn't see anything at all. But when I shined my flashlight inside, well, I still couldn't see anything. The darkness seemed to absorb all the light, except for the darkness.
Black, without any other color.
I carefully walked into the huge door, and as soon as my body was submerged in the darkness, I couldn't help but shudder. Although there was only a wall between them, the inside and the outside were simply two different worlds. Although the outside was a bit eerie and scary, it was generally peaceful.
I'm fine, but this Shimen is completely different. First of all, it's cold, like walking into a morgue, and the cold air penetrates into my collar. Then it's dark. I'm holding a powerful waterproof searchlight in my hand, but all I can see is
However, the range is only a few meters nearby. Further away, there is still darkness. This darkness is like splashing ink on white paper. It will not become brighter no matter how hard it is illuminated. Only these two points can show the beauty of this place.
Weird.
I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and walked towards the place where the sound came from deep. It was the only thing that could point me in the dark. The closer I got, the weirder I felt in my heart, as if there was something there.
Always waiting for me.
At this moment, I saw some shadows on the ground in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel shocked, and my steps speeded up unconsciously.
As I got closer and closer, I could gradually see the general outline, but I became more and more nervous. The outline looked like a rectangular stone platform, and there seemed to be a row of people lying on it. It appeared in this place.
People, needless to say, must be dead.
Sure enough, when I walked closer, what was lying in front of me was a huge rectangular stone platform, one meter high, about two meters wide, and ten meters long. What was shocking was that it was filled with dead people.
, wearing a variety of clothes, there are corpses that are still intact, and some that have been highly decomposed, but most of them are dead bones. These corpses are lying flat on the stone platform, as if someone has carefully placed them
, even the height of the body is very orderly.
The strange thing is that there is no smell of rotting corpses here. I thought there was something wrong with my nose for a while, but when I opened my clothes and asked about the smell of sweat coming from inside, I was sure that these corpses did not have any smell.
Any flavor.
I braved the courage and carefully approached the stone platform, and soon discovered another puzzling place. The stomachs of these people had been cut open, and the internal organs had been dug out, leaving them empty.
There was disgusting black mucus in half of the cavity, and there was a blood mark on their necks. After careful inspection, it became clear that their heads had been cut off and then re-placed in their original positions.
What does this mean? I have never heard of the custom of cutting off human heads or taking out human entrails!
I walked along the stone platform to the corner, and soon I found another stone platform at an angle of 90 degrees at one end of the stone platform. It was also filled with dead people. The difference from the other one was that this stone platform
The dead people on it are all well-preserved, and the whole body is wrapped with a black thing. It is not cloth or metal, but an unknown substance. They are wrapped like black mummies, and in their
Their faces are all wearing the same big-eared bronze mask. The most surprising thing is that they also exude a trace of medicinal fragrance, which is a bit similar to musk, but it doesn't smell like it if you look closely.
Disposed corpses? Are these the people in the giant coffins outside? Then who are the people on the first stone platform?
I moved back to the first stone platform. Through observation, I was somewhat horrified to find that most of the clothes worn by the people lying on it were old-fashioned clothes from the 1950s and 1960s, and there were also some weird cross-dressings.
, are these people all the people whose identities are known who came in after the old man forty years ago?
At this time, the curiosity in my heart suddenly aroused, and I slowly walked to a corpse and used a Luoyang shovel to unbutton its clothes.
The corpse was still very well preserved, just like a person who had just died. However, the skin was dark blue and there were patches of corpses on the body. The face was somewhat unclear, but it could be concluded that it should be a mature man.
