Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Four: The Tomb of Mother and Child
As Chen Zhi and others walked in, other warriors also followed into the hall where the warrior's body was kept.
After seeing the remains of these horse-hide corpses, the warriors were obviously moved. They all knelt down to pay tribute to these ancient warriors.
These are their first predecessors, and it is the spirit of these people that has been passed down, allowing them, the Xiqi people, to continue until now, and have the current organization and thousands of years of Xiqi.
Ghost Sword and the warriors all stood silently by the stone platform and remained silent.
However, Fat Wei acted exaggeratedly for no reason at this time. He supported King Wu of Zhou on the stone platform and started crying with runny nose and tears.
"Old man, you have been quite selfless in your life!!!
Look at your consciousness. You have worked for the country and the people all your life, but in the end you don't even have a good coffin board.
We, the younger generation, feel ashamed in front of you.
Don't worry, we will definitely carry forward your selfless spirit and make persistent efforts.
Did you see the person next to me? This is the descendant of your old friend Jiang Ziya.
His consciousness is as high as yours, and he would not even become a God Emperor for our sake.
Look at people's level of enlightenment. Gods and Buddhas are far behind.
This is the spirit of selfless proletarian dedication!!
The life and death of all of us depend on him..."
Fat Wei was muttering nonstop here, bringing everyone into an inexplicable awkward atmosphere.
The other warriors didn't say anything. They all stood there awkwardly, not knowing where to go.
But Chen Zhi did not hear what Fat Wei said.
From just now, he became inexplicably excited...
After exploring the back, I found that this position was very wrong. This place was definitely not in the center of the entire tomb, but more like the middle part of a long corridor.
In other words, there are still at least 2/3 of the huge area that has not yet been explored, but it has been inexplicably cut off here.
And behind them is a lifeless stone wall with no mechanism on it.
Obviously, they were not welcome to continue walking, and the corpse of King Wu of Zhou was also the end of their trip.
"Okay, stop acting and come over and help me!!",
Chen Zhi patted Fat Wei, who was crying very fakely next to the stone platform.
"There is something wrong with this place. I always feel that there is a big part inside. That part is not only big, but also very deep.
You have visited many ancient tombs...
Please help me think about it. Generally, after you enter the cemetery, if there is another space hidden inside, where will the entrance to this space be?"
"ah?"
After Fat Wei heard Chen Zhi's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes rolled around. It was obvious that he already had the answer in his heart.
"Well..., actually!
There are ancient tombs like this, but they are very rare. Those of us who live in this area call it the Zimu Tomb.
Tombs like this generally look simple on the outside, like a sea fish, with just one bone from head to tail.
But it disappeared halfway through.
In this place, there is often a more important coffin with a treasure.
For example, the tomb owner's nephew, close relative, or simply the tomb owner's substitute, was buried here with a large amount of treasure.
Generally, people who rob tombs come here, see a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and leave after benefiting from it. Those who have grievances have also taken revenge, so there is no need to continue exploring.
In fact, these are all used for making smoke...
The front part is a fake tomb, also called a sub-tomb, which serves as a shield for the owner of the tomb.
At the back is the real main tomb, also called the mother tomb.
However, the rules of the Zimu Tomb are that generally the main tomb chamber does not leave any passage and is completely sealed.
That is to say, when it was built, there was no preparation for people to enter.
"The tomb of the mother-in-law?" Chen Zhi immediately understood what Fat Wei meant.
"Then help me see if this wall is hollow.
When I knock it, I feel the sound is very crisp...",
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he knocked on the stone wall and put his ear against it to listen. There was a faint echo inside.
Fat Wei also knocked twice and listened with his ear.
"This is it...
If you want to say it is empty, it is indeed empty, but it is not very empty.
Let me tell you the truth, the space inside is at most three to five meters wide. What can be put in such a small place?
It is estimated that when this cemetery was built, the area behind it was not measured properly, so this false wall was built.
Even if you cut open all the false walls, there will still be nothing inside.
I think we don't have to mess around.
Anyway, the master we are looking for is already here, so why go in there and mess around."
"No, there must be something else inside...",
Chen Zhi looked at the wall insistently, touched it up and down with his hand, and then shouted to Fat Wei,
"Fat man, go and unload those guys of yours, and we'll find a way to cut through this wall."
"What exactly are you looking for?",
At some point, Ghost Sword appeared from behind Chen Zhi without anyone noticing. His voice was a little hoarse. It seemed that the tragic emotions just now had infected him.
"King Wu's body is already here, what else are you looking for?
You still doubt that this world is built on dirty deals, right?"
After hearing these words from Ghost Sword, Chen Zhi was a little surprised.
"Gui Dao is different from others, he has always been a man of few words.
Moreover, Ghost Sword knows very well what his responsibilities are. He is a samurai and will never participate in these decision-making matters.
Whenever any conflicts occurred in the past, he always treated them with silence and would never say a word.
But today, he did talk a bit too much...
Just when Chen Zhi didn't know how to answer, Guidao said again,
"Have you ever thought that maybe there is no deal at all, and it's not what you think.
At that time, the people of Xiqi just wanted to live, so they created this world. They just wanted to live..."
"If you really think so, then I can only say that you are too naive!",
Chen Zhi quickly interrupted Guidao's words, and the words that had been stuck in his heart finally came out,
“Human beings are actually the same as animals, all living things have the desire to survive.
Humans have a desire to survive, but don’t pigs, horses, cows and sheep have the same desire?
Do you think these so-called desires for survival can impress Jiang Ziya?
To impress a son of God who lives nearly 1,000 years, and then side with humans out of mercy and justice?
What do you think human life is in his eyes?
After hundreds of years or a thousand years, the names of the humans alive today may have disappeared, and their descendants may have forgotten them.
Their merits and steadfastness have all disappeared...
But the gods are still alive!!
This is such a disparity in survival...
Do you think that the justice you speak of can turn the world upside down at that time?
I don’t want to argue with you. Let’s not talk about these innocent words anymore...",
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he turned back. He didn't want to look into Ghost Sword's eyes anymore and wanted to find tools to cut through the wall.
And the voice of the ghost sword sounded behind him again.
"Actually, you have already made your decision, right?"
