Chapter 66
Li Zhuiyuan did not try to wake up Runsheng and the others, because based on his own personal experience just now, he knew that what the four of them encountered this time was not an ordinary miasma, but a Yin miasma.
The former can be compared to ordinary haunted houses in current amusement parks, giving you an immersive feeling, while the latter is more upscale, with obvious interactivity and guidance.
In the previous "dream", it was clear that someone was deliberately guiding them forward. The most obvious example is that Tan Wenbin said that whatever you want, it will arrange for you. In fact, the purpose is to keep people deliberately immersed in the dream. Inside, something that is cut off from reality is happening.
In this state, the separation between the body and the spirit is very obvious, and even oneself cannot detect that it is a yin state, which shows that relying on external physical stimulation cannot reach the level of spiritual consciousness.
In addition, if I insist on pushing and shaking them in an attempt to wake them up, I can accidentally push them into the water while they are still standing. It would still be some time before they are submerged in the water. This is equivalent to judging them in advance. death penalty.
Glancing at Runsheng and the others, and then at the stone carving of the woman opening the door, her sinister and sarcastic smile was so realistic and delicate.
Li Zhuiyuan subconsciously wanted to swim over to see if he could push the stone sculpture back to its original position, or take off his clothes and cover the stone sculpture, hoping to interrupt this effect.
But when this thought rose in his mind, Li Zhuiyuan immediately shook his head vigorously.
If you are an ordinary explorer or survivor, it is normal to follow this line of thinking, but this does not deviate from the traditional thinking of test takers.
Li Zhuiyuan did not swim towards the stone sculpture, but swam towards the stone staircase, then climbed up the steps, walked to the water, turned around, and sat down facing Runsheng and the others below and the woman who opened the door to the stone sculpture further away. Come down.
His eyes gradually became calm, and all kinds of information that he had mastered and could be guessed were running rapidly in his mind. While he was sorting through it all, he used the method of Feng Shui pattern to deduce the situation in front of him.
The former could not be sorted out, and was stuck on the figure that appeared and left at the tail of the snake.
The latter cannot be deduced, because the current Feng Shui pattern around him has not changed significantly.
But Li Zhuiyuan was not discouraged. Failure is sometimes a kind of trial and error. When one of the most mainstream ideas is found to be blocked, the previous diversion, no matter how unreasonable or ridiculous, means it may be true.
The figure in the dream may not be that important, because its idea is just imitation and guidance. It is unreasonable enough that a room appears on the top of the stairs, and stalactites appear in the room. The snake sculpture that follows is actually used in succession. Two, and maybe a third and fourth will follow.
With such exquisite and magnificent carvings, you really have to use it as a ladder, right? Occasionally, you can use antique calligraphy and painting to make tea and drink it, which can be called "elegance". If you keep burning it, then you are a little bit mentally ill.
There is subjective guidance, but it is not artificial. If you are separated from the authorities and become confused, you may even find it a bit ridiculous.
As for that stone sculpture, since the Feng Shui pattern deduced based on it is completely invalid, we can boldly speculate that it is useless.
The stone carving himself had carefully examined it before. What kind of uncanny mechanism could make the non-existent other half of the body suddenly twist out?
human imagination.
Therefore, I haven't fully woken up yet. This is the second layer of dreams, multiple layers of miasma.
Li Zhuiyuan suddenly felt that he could wake up Runsheng and the others by shouting. He lifted up the rising water under his feet, splashed it on the faces of Runsheng and the three of them, and shouted:
"Brother Runsheng, Brother Binbin, Brother Liangliang."
Soon, the eyelids of the three people began to tremble, and then they opened their eyes one by one.
"Ah, were you dreaming just now?"
"What happened to us?"
"Xiaoyuan, are you okay?"
The corner of Li Zhuiyuan's mouth twitched. He ignored Runsheng and the others, but turned over and knelt on the ladder.
The four of them were facing the stone staircase and were stunned, but their consciousness was completely attracted by the stone carving of the woman opening the door. But in fact, the first thing that really thought of a problem was the stone staircase, and it was the bottom one. That layer.
Because before entering the game, the water had just risen and the water had just reached the soles of the shoes.
Li Zhuiyuan walked down the stairs, dived into the water, and came to the bottom step. He first knocked the flashlight hard on that step and then shined it on it.
The originally ordinary stone staircase actually showed a translucency similar to jade at this moment, and flocs also appeared inside, but unlike the fixed flocs in ordinary jade, the things inside were moving, like They are long parasites, also like small white snakes.
It happened that one of them was drilling out from the edge of the stone ladder, and it was already halfway out. If it hadn't been discovered in advance and kept watching with a flashlight, it would have been impossible to notice when it came out and merged into the water.
It came out completely. Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hand and put it in front of it, and it bit it.
"Hiss..."
Severe pain came immediately. The pain was deep-seated and gradually amplified.
"Ah..."
"Gulu...Gulu..."
Li Zhuiyuan woke up again.
This time, he was in the water, and the water level had reached his mouth, only a little under his nose. If it spread a little higher, his mouth and nose would be completely covered, and then his real self would be suffocated.
When he woke up, his mouth was still screaming in pain, but he drank several mouthfuls of water at once.
He turned around in the water and looked at Runsheng and the others first. They were still standing there, not waking up.
They say that when the sky falls, the taller ones will be the ones to bear it, but when the water rises, the shorter ones will be drowned first.
Looking back again, the stone carving of the woman opening the door was still the same as before, with only the flattened back half facing her, where was the gloomy smile.
Li Zhuiyuan knew that he had completely woken up and returned to reality.
Not caring to look at anything else, Li Zhuiyuan dived into the water first and shined a flashlight on his leg. The clear pain came from there.
He rolled up his trousers and shined the flashlight over it. He saw a long thing as thin as a white line. The front end was on his skin, and the back end kept fluttering with the water waves. It seemed that he was quite happy and was wagging his tail happily.
The human body is a very precise instrument. In fact, during normal activities, bone friction and muscle stretching will cause pain, but these are analgesicized by substances secreted by the brain. This is why for people like For those who exercise, running can bring you pleasure.
Drug addicts absorb too much happiness at once, which causes secretion problems in the brain. They mistakenly think that you don't need the body's own analgesia. Once you stop smoking, you will have a very obvious withdrawal reaction. For example, ants crawling all over the body.
The effect of this "little snake" is the same. In fact, its bite is very painful, but it numbs your perception, but the pain is actually always there. Only when you really realize its existence can you wake up. Paralyzed perception.
Really, high-end ingredients only require simple cooking methods, and clever Yin Miasma... is a direct poison.
Li Zhuiyuan reached out to grab it and pulled it out. It was struggling and beating. Li Zhuiyuan simply pulled it with both hands and twisted it off.
In fact, if possible, he would really like to keep these things and use them to coordinate research and development in the future.
But firstly, he did not have suitable research conditions, and secondly, the current conditions did not allow it.
Li Zhuiyuan continued to go to Runsheng's place, lifted up Runsheng's trousers, and saw the thin white thread, which was pulled out.
Next is Tan Wenbin.
"Poof!"
Runsheng woke up and fell down in pain.
"Poof!"
Tan Wenbin also woke up and fell into the water.
But when Li Zhuiyuan had just rolled up Xue Liangliang's trousers and was about to follow the example, he discovered that the long white thread biting Xue Liangliang's leg turned out to be black!
And it looks lifeless. Even if you don't have to pull it by yourself, this thing probably won't be able to move around for long.
This also means that Xue Liangliang can wake up with his own "resistance", and very quickly.
But when Xue Liangliang woke up, he might have had time to save Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, but he would have definitely drowned.
Reach out and pull it out.
Xue Liangliang hissed, but the pain was not as strong as Tan Wenbin and Runsheng. Not only did he not fall, he immediately reached out to help the boy underwater after waking up.
All four climbed the stairs and out of the water.
Li Zhuiyuan told the three of them what had just happened, and the three of them looked shocked and frightened.
Then, from the retellings of the three people, Li Zhuiyuan unexpectedly discovered one thing, that is, the dreams of the four people were connected.
He was clearly bitten by four tiny white snakes. There was nothing else involved, but he could still have the same dream.
This made Li Zhuiyuan look at the first step again, with even more intense fire in his eyes.
This is really a good thing. It can move in the water. If you can tame it and master it, wouldn't it be smoother when you combine it with Wei Zhengdao's black book to control death and falling?
Anyway, it basically lives near the water. Even if it goes ashore, it will get out of the water on its own.
"Xiaoyuan, can I help you break down the first step?"
Runsheng understands boys.
Tan Wenbin asked with some fear: "Will more be released and bite us again?"
Xue Liangliang guessed: "If this is the case, there won't be only one biting us, but many will bite us together. I think it may be because after people are bitten once, they will become resistant, and the second one will bite us." Biting will have the opposite effect and wake us up directly.”
Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief: "You mean, this thing is no longer effective on us?"
Xue Liangliang: "If you get bitten again, you can just treat it as a mosquito bite and slap it to death when you notice it."
Tan Wenbin asked curiously: "Brother Liang, why did Xiaoyuan say that the one on your body has turned black?"
"I don't know." Xue Liangliang was also very confused.
Tan Wenbin clapped his tongue and said with emotion: "Sure enough, there is no benefit to anyone becoming a son-in-law."
Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Tan Wenbin: "You want to go too?"
"Ah?" Tan Wenbin scratched his face in embarrassment, "Someone must be willing to recruit, and they must like me."
"You can ask the Zhou family if they want to recruit anyone."
"Zhou Family?" Tan Wenbin immediately became interested, "Is it the same underwater ancient town as Bai Family?"
"Squad leader Zhou Yunyun's home."
Tan Wenbin: "..."
Li Zhuiyuan didn't tell them in detail about Uncle Qin, because Liu Yumei had to continue to live in the grandfather's house.
That night, if Uncle Qin hadn't gone to Baijia Town alone, Xue Liangliang wouldn't have been able to get the terms of his son-in-law.
In essence, the Bai family is not looking for a son-in-law at all, not even to grab Mrs. Yazhai. What they want is a partner to have children.
Moreover, the way they play is even more extreme, not only removing the father and leaving the son, but also removing the father and leaving the son, leaving only the daughter.
There is only the Bai family empress in Baijia Town. In the local records and in the houses of Baijia Town, I have never seen any young masters and father-in-laws of the Bai family. Where have those people gone in the past hundreds of years?
Therefore, Tan Wenbin envied Xue Liangliang's treatment, but this kind of treatment cannot be copied. The normal treatment is actually "the queen will burn after she is pleased".
At the same time, this also involved another point. After the Ding family banquet, Liu Yumei told herself about the Qin and Liu families, and why she, the old lady, still had the confidence not to give face to those people.
Li Zhuiyuan felt that Grandma Liu did not lie to him. What she told him was the truth, but the truth may not be complete.
That is, the inheritance of the Qin and Liu families may have gone another way. This can be seen from Yu Shu's attitude towards Grandma Liu.
This is also in line with the old lady's consistent style. Hidden under the generous display of wealth is also the generous hiding of clumsiness.
"Xiaoyuan?" Runsheng called again, interrupting the boy's thoughts.
Li Zhuiyuan pursed his lips. Since his heart is moved, let's take action.
"Brother Runsheng, I don't have any tools at hand now."
"This is easy to handle."
Seeing that Li Zhuiyuan agreed, Runsheng immediately plunged into the water again.
In fact, Li Zhuiyuan also knew how to swim. There was a small river to the west of Taiye's house. During that time, he did not dare to go to other waters. He even rejected fishing. However, it was still safe near Taiye's house, so he asked Runsheng to teach him. swim.
He learned, but when he encountered danger, he was still used to letting Runsheng pull him. Without it, Runsheng's water quality was too good.
If Runsheng can learn Uncle Qin's trick in the future and pull out the gills for himself on the spot, then Runsheng will be the second Uncle Qin.
Li Zhuiyuan and Xue Liangliang stood up and shined their flashlights on Runsheng. It didn't look like they were lighting Runsheng because Runsheng underwater didn't seem to need eyes. It was more like they were lighting it up for themselves.
Tan Wenbin did not do this at first, but then he inadvertently lowered his head and looked at the flashlight hanging on his chest. Only then did he realize that he had only lost the flashlight in his dream, but it was still there in reality.
However, after hesitating, he decided not to use it and save some power for himself.
He now has a sense of crisis. Needless to say Xiaoyuan's role in the team, Runsheng need not be mentioned too much. Even Xue Liangliang is very useful, but he... It seems that apart from livening up the atmosphere when the team's atmosphere is sluggish, there is no need to mention it. What's the use?
He didn't even know the chemical formula of stalactites.
The fate of marginalized people in the team is to be gradually removed from the team. Even if Nian is willing to continue playing with him at his old lover's house, he can no longer play.
I have to think of ways to increase my use. Should I help Xiaoyuan make money by running the studios and small supermarkets that Brother Liangliang left in school... or should I apply for the Jinling Police Academy instead?
Without any tools, Runsheng went to find a stone, and then he smashed it against the first step under the water.
His ability to exert force underwater was greatly affected, but Runsheng seemed to know how to avoid it.
After smashing and smashing, the first step actually cracked, and fragments of jade-like stone continued to float out.
Tan Wenbin swallowed: "Is this valuable?"
Li Zhuiyuan said: "It is jade, but it is the most common material and not valuable."
"Oh." Tan Wenbin nodded and gave up the idea of collecting, but turned to look at the steps behind him, thinking that if he found anything valuable when he went up later, he would have to bring some out.
Xiaoyuan and Liangliang are as pale as chrysanthemums, so let them bear the smell of copper alone.
Facts have once again proved that the most direct is not necessarily the most effective, but at least it will be effective.
Li Zhuiyuan guessed that people should have been here before, but it is estimated that many people were drowned or washed away by the water after being "miasma".
Even if someone managed to break the miasma, they would probably rush up there with lingering fears.
Unlike the four of them, who saw that someone else had a good trap, they would dismantle the trap and go home. The bandits were not that good at scraping the land.
The steps were smashed open, and many bugs scattered out, but they seemed to be able to sense who was resistant, so they did not approach the four of them anymore. Even Runsheng, who was right in front of them, they walked around.
However, these bugs should not be able to stay away from here for too long. Xue Liangliang's own particularity only speeds up their process. After leaving the special environment where they are stored, they will die on their own. Some things can't survive on their own. Oneself cannot exist stably in nature.
Runsheng emerged from the water, holding a jade seal in his hand.
"Xiaoyuan, give it."
Li Zhuiyuan reached out to take it and shined it with a flashlight.
There are words below, but they are not square words, but only one word.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Mean?"
Tan Wenbin looked at Xue Liangliang: "What do you mean, mean?"
Xue Liangliang shrugged: "I said I didn't even understand the word. Do you believe it?"
Tan Wenbin obviously didn't believe it.
Xue Liangliang said with a bit of laughter and tears: "It depends on your family. Xiaoyuan understands this."
Li Zhuiyuan said: "This is Wanzhou, also called Wanxian. There are traces of ancestors' activities in the Paleolithic Age, and many relics have been left behind. Historically, the ones that can compete with 'Yong' here are those from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties." The Yong Kingdom was destroyed by the joint efforts of Qin, Chu and Ba during the Spring and Autumn Period. ”
Tan Wenbin's eyes lit up: "Is this a treasure from Spring and Autumn Period?"
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "I don't know, the workmanship looks... and the style of the female skirt on the stone sculpture of a woman opening the door, it looks like it was after the Qin and Han Dynasties."
Xue Liangliang asked: "Xiaoyuan, are you not sure?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "I only know how to endorse things like antiques and ancient buildings. Memorizing books alone is useless."
Xue Liangliang guessed: "Is it possible that someone later discovered some secrets of Yongguo here and built this here?"
Tan Wenbin asked in confusion: "Can this still happen?"
Xue Liangliang explained: "This approach is quite common. For example, many scenic spots now are exhibition halls developed and rebuilt on the basis of the original sites. In essence, isn't it the same."
Li Zhuiyuan gently shook the seal in his hand. Jade should be moist, and the jade here was very thick, like glue and liquid. There were also tiny particles inside, which should be the eggs of small snakes.
Those snakes are hatched from this seal, and they should remain in this state on weekdays. Some will hatch out only after receiving some kind of stimulation and perception.
So, will the hatched snake return to lay eggs again?
Is each output quantitative or is there some special triggering mechanism?
At present, it seems that Runsheng destroyed the storage environment after breaking the steps, and the eggs inside will no longer hatch.
"Brother Runsheng."
"Yes." Li Zhuiyuan handed the Yongyin to Runsheng for safekeeping. This thing can only be studied after leaving here.
Immediately, the four of them looked up the stairs again.
The water rose more and more, so everyone could only walk upward.
Li Zhuiyuan reminded: "Everyone, please be careful and be careful."
Tan Wenbin immediately responded: "Yes, I will pinch my thigh hard every once in a while."
Everyone climbed up the stairs again.
This time I didn't go far when I saw the platform. It was no longer the gatehouse, but a huge snake-headed eagle with its mouth wide open. Everyone who entered here seemed to be swallowed by it.
Xue Liangliang said: "It seems that people in Yongguo believe in snakes."
After entering Shekou, a very wide plane appears. There is no snake body ladder, but a stone pillar. When shining a flashlight, it looks like an underground palace.
But it is not splendid at all. Instead, it looks very primitive and rough. There are not many furnishings and it looks very empty.
After walking a little further, the footsteps of the four people began to echo here. Even if the four people tiptoed extremely carefully after noticing it, it was still useless, and the echo became louder and louder.
In the end, it was no longer an echo, because the four people had stopped, but the sound continued on its own and became more and more intense.
Finally, a little green light appeared in the front.
Li Zhuiyuan shined his flashlight forward, and the green light quickly faded, revealing a tiger about to pounce.
Everyone was startled and retreated one after another. Runsheng, who was standing at the front, lowered his weight and clenched his fists as he retreated. This was to prepare him to fight the tiger.
But soon, everyone realized that the tiger was dead. It was located on a stone platform. Although it still looked lifelike after all this time, it was still essentially a specimen.
But the disappearing green light reappeared, and the tiger's eyes were instantly filled with green light, as if the tiger had revived.
However, the four people who have discovered the nature of the tiger will only subconsciously think that there is something in the specimen, but will not really feel that the tiger is resurrected.
Li Zhuiyuan suspected that this should be due to the equipment. Flashlights were much more efficient than torches, which also made the original arrangements used to scare away outsiders greatly reduced in effectiveness.
Moving the flashlight, I found that there were various beasts standing on many stands nearby. Some species were no longer active in this area at the moment.
The most peculiar thing is that there are two people. From their appearance, they can be clearly distinguished as a man and a woman. They are wearing leather armor and bronze snake-shaped masks. They stand among the beasts, like kings commanding them.
However, the arms and hands of both men and women were holding hands, but now they were empty.
I glanced under the table twice with my flashlight and could see several piles of decayed objects, which should be like the unearthed Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Everything I was holding was rotten.
This is the woman. Her right arm is raised high, probably holding some kind of weapon. Combined with the bronze spearhead that fell from the table below her feet, she should be holding a spear, but her left hand is palm up, so she should be holding it. Something, not a weapon, more likely a token of some kind.
But there are no corresponding marks on the table below. Was it completely decayed, or was it taken away?
Until now, there is actually no trace that anyone has been here.
The eyes of men and women also gradually lit up with green light. However, when the flashlight was illuminated by this green light, there was an obvious sense of avoidance. Basically, it was suppressed after the flashlight was shined on it. As soon as the flashlight was moved away, it would appear again. Brighten up.
There were some lights still swimming outside, but they disappeared after swimming for a while. They should be fireflies or something like that.
They live in the body specimens of beasts and people, and light up when disturbed by the outside world, thus creating a "shock" effect.
Now that you know what it is, there is nothing to be afraid of. Just treat it as a visit to a museum.
The four of them continued forward, and the echoes seemed to be encouraged and built up again.
When they passed through the Stone Platform of Hundreds of Beasts, before the flashlight could shine into the distance, a huge green mass suddenly rose up in front of them, and a huge and towering pile of bones appeared in front of the four of them.
There are countless fireflies living there, and the current echo is actually the layers of revival within them. At this moment, they wake up completely and flutter their wings, like a ghostly fire burning on a pile of bones.
Among the bones, the outermost parts are horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens; the middle parts are tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds.
They correspond to six livestock and five poultry.
There are many scattered bones around, but most of them still retain the complete structure of the splicing, otherwise it would not be so easy to identify.
In the middle, and what supports the height of the pile of bones, are people.
The humanoid skeletons are like building blocks. You drag me and I support you, climbing up. They are the main support of this pile of bones.
Xue Liangliang opened his mouth, his eyes full of shock and professionalism. What he saw was a kind of beauty that combines mechanics and aesthetics.
Perhaps, among the four people present, the only one who could deeply feel the cruelty and intolerance was Tan Wenbin.
Human sacrifice, or so-called works of art created with human life as the carrier, always makes people feel sad.
However, Tan Wenbin looked left and right, Runsheng still looked expressionless, while Xiaoyuan and Liangliang were more appreciative, and he kept thinking silently in his heart: It's all in the past, it's all in the past.
After the silent recitation, he pinched his thigh hard, so hard that tears flowed from the pain.
Xue Liangliang noticed it, reached out and patted Tan Wenbin on the shoulder, comforting: "Look at it, it's all the ignorance of the past."
Apart from shining brightly, these fireflies showed no aggressive attitude, and because of their appearance, they illuminated a large area of the place.
Behind the "Bone Fire Pile", there were more than a dozen stairs going up.
There is a huge bed above the steps, with gold thread as a curtain, which not only shines in the light, but also has a good visual isolation effect.
But looking at the style of this curtain, even if you can't see inside, you can still picture a woman sitting inside.
The most important thing is that behind the big bed, there is a door that is ajar.
In the entire underground palace, this is the only place that looks like it can go up, and it is also the key for everyone to leave the underground and return to the surface.
The four of them bypassed the bone fire and came to the foot of the steps.
Immediately, the three of them were stunned.
Xue Liangliang asked curiously: "Why is there a shovel here? Has anyone been here?"
Tan Wenbin said: "It's like our Yellow River shovel."
Runsheng bent down and picked up the shovel: "It's our Yellow River shovel, the same model."
There were two "clicks". Runsheng wanted to assemble it, but the shovel broke directly. It was rusty.
Tan Wenbin said: "So, our seniors have been here?"
Xue Liangliang asked: "The person who retrieved the body still went to rob the tomb?"
But soon, Xue Liangliang changed his words: "Oh, no, this is not a tomb. There is a bed, but no coffin."
Immediately afterwards, Xue Liangliang made up for it again: "Maybe you seniors came here to deal with that big thing, and you want to eliminate harm for the people."
Li Zhuiyuan said: "Brother Liangliang, you don't have to be so nervous. We came down here because of an accident. But if I had known about this place in advance, I would have thought about coming down, but I would have made preparations in advance.
Besides, there is a group of people called Water Monkeys, who specialize in stealing water burials. Although I don’t think they are colleagues, what they learned is actually the same as ours. ”
With that said, Li Zhuiyuan reached out and took the broken Yellow River shovel from Runsheng. He checked it and confirmed that it was from his own line of work, not Luoyang shovel.
This means that someone senior in the industry has indeed entered here, and the details can be seen from the rusty shovel. The original thing is very professional and has the same configuration as the standard Yellow River shovel in Wei Zhengdao's book.
Therefore, the seniors who come in are also professionals.
But, are they really here just to make a fortune?
Everyone started to go up the steps and found nothing else except the Yellow River shovel at the beginning.
When they reached the top and were level with the big bed, they discovered that there was a square groove around the bed, which was filled with white-green liquid.
An inexplicable smell, I couldn't smell it at first, but it started to hit my nose after I stood up.
This smell is so familiar that even Tan Wenbin can blurt it out without Runsheng reminding him: "Water corpse smells."
Runsheng added: "Very thick, very pure."
Li Zhuiyuan reminded: "Let's walk from the side, don't disturb or touch others."
The side is very narrow, only enough for one person to walk sideways, so everyone moves carefully little by little.
Even if Tan Wenbin is very keen on the gold on the curtain of the big bed, he doesn't dare to take it at the moment. If it involves death, and it is a death of this kind in a place like this, no matter how greedy it is, it is not appropriate. .
Without any surprises, everyone bypassed the bed and the puddle around the bed and came to the back.
The gate is at the top. If you go up, you should be able to find the way out.
The four of them couldn't help but look back behind them. From this angle, the previous bed looked more like a small boat in the middle of the pool.
Tan Wenbin lamented: "What a pity, there is so much gold."
Xue Liangliang patted his arm gently and asked: "Why, are you tempted?"
Tan Wenbin said bluntly: "Yeah."
Xue Liangliang reminded: "You can't take the things here."
Tan Wenbin: "Uh..."
"The thing Xiaoyuan took was the thing that almost killed us. It had a grudge against us, so it was appropriate to take it away.
Moreover, when this place is excavated by archaeologists in the future, if that thing is left below, it may cause harm to our archaeological comrades, so it must be removed in advance. ”
Tan Wenbin felt that Xiaoyuan might not have thought so much.
"Brother Liang, you will find ways to make amends."
"I am seeking truth from facts."
"Actually, I don't want to use this gold to make a fortune. Look at the many people who died in the bone pile. Although this is not a tomb, it is filled with people's fat and anointing. Forget about other cultural relics. If the gold is taken out, we don't use it to improve our lives. , a small part is left for Brother Xiaoyuan to use as research funds, and a large part is donated to Wanzhou Government Project and Hope Primary School. It is considered to be used by the people, and it is better than leaving it in the ground to eat ashes.”
Xue Liangliang smiled and said: "You are still talking about me, you are the one who really knows how to make amends."
"No way."
"Gold is made into jewelry, and it is also a cultural relic."
"Fuck."
Li Zhuiyuan said: "Let's go. After we get out, we will report here..."
Before he finished speaking, a woman's face poked out from the side of the ajar door in front of him.
She appeared so strangely, so suddenly, and without any warning.
Especially when everyone had just passed the big bed on the platform and thought it was safe and started to let down their guard.
This is the real picture of a woman opening her door.
The four of them were all startled by the appearance of this face, but Runsheng's reaction was to take the remaining half of the Yellow River shovel and slap it on the head of the woman behind the door!
No matter what kind of monster you are, just eat my shovel first!
"Crack!"
The woman's face disappeared, and Runsheng's shovel only hit the door.
"Kekeke..."
The woman's face poked out from behind the other door again, and this time her upper and lower lips began to close back and forth, letting out a silver bell-like laugh.
If you hear this laughter in the park in the afternoon, you will feel very sweet, but in this environment, it can only make people feel panicked and numb.
Runsheng raised the shovel and smashed it again.
"Crack!"
The woman's face disappeared again.
But her laughter became louder and louder. It was no longer limited here, but spread and gradually echoed throughout the entire underground palace.
The originally green fireflies began to glow red, rendering the underground palace like a sea of blood.
The originally white-green water pool around the big bed began to bubble at this moment, as if it was boiling.
Even the golden curtains on the bed were not swaying in the wind at this moment. Without thinking, you could see a woman wearing a luxurious red dress sitting inside.
The woman's hair was actually black, and it looked very smooth and shiny. It flowed down her back and spread out behind her.
And as the curtains shook, the woman's arms began to twist strangely, and even her hair began to slowly sweep around.
Soon, the woman's two arms were turned upside down, and the two invisible hands that were originally placed in front of her now appeared in the back, which was facing the direction of Li Zhuiyuan and the four others.
The sweep of the long hair is more like a twist of the head.
Although the inside could not be seen due to the hair covering it, it felt like she had turned her head around.
Originally she was sitting facing the palace, but now she was facing the gate.
Ahead, on the other side of the door, there was a woman's face, poking out and laughing.
Later, the woman in the bed who was supposed to be safely jumped by the four people also "awakened".
At this moment, the four people caught in the middle became unable to advance or retreat.
However, Li Zhuiyuan understood the reason for the structure of this place. This underground palace was not a tomb, but more like a sacrificial place.
In comparison, the pictures of women opening their doors painted on the walls of the main acupuncture points of tombs in later generations can only be regarded as a kind of imitation.
He built this place for himself and opened the real door, just waiting for the "woman to open the door" inside the door to lead her into the paradise world!
It was the woman who poked her head out from behind the door that triggered all this.
But what is she? If you don't trigger it early, you won't trigger it later, but just when the four of you are about to pass the door, she appears?
If you had picked them up earlier, it would have saved you a lot of trouble. A bare and safe underground palace would have been nice. Anyway, the four of you were just passing by to avoid danger.
"Xiaoyuan?"
Runsheng asked, holding half of the shovel in his hand.
Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin were also close to Li Zhuiyuan, and the three of them subconsciously protected the boy in the middle.
But now, we have to get a charter.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
There was a sound of heavy objects rubbing against the pool below, and the entire bed was lifted up.
Eight people appeared from under the pool, and they all used their shoulders to lift the bed.
The people under the four corners are all men wearing leather armor, very similar to the man among the beasts he saw when he first entered the underground palace.
They closed their eyes after surfacing, but there was still liquid flowing out of the corners of their eyes, mouths and noses. Unlike other dead bodies that were flowing out of water, what they were flowing out was silver liquid, like mercury.
"Mercury Refines Corpses..."
Wei Zhengdao's "Jianghu Zhiguailu" records this type of death, which was specially placed in a water burial to protect the tomb owner.
This type of dead body cannot be encountered by normal people, because they do not rob tombs. Only water monkeys will specialize in dealing with this.
In addition to these four people wearing leather armor, it seems that they were left with the woman in the bed when the place was first set up. There are also four people wearing corsets and long gowns, each with a long braid on the back of their head. .
These four people from the Qing Dynasty are most likely the four senior colleagues who left behind the Yellow River Shovel.
The reason why Li Zhuiyuan recognized them as seniors instead of water monkeys was that water monkeys usually go out in groups. Like Ding Dalin and his gang last time, twenty people were considered a small group, but here, there are only four people. And no other bodies were left behind.
The pond water that previously had a strong smell of corpses should have a similar antiseptic effect, because these people and their clothes did not rot or swell, and were still very fresh.
Eight people carried the bed, left the pool, and stepped on the upward steps. Each step fell neatly, bringing terrifying pressure.
"Kekeke...kekeke..."
Behind the ajar door, the laughter continued.
"Xiaoyuan!"
Runsheng shouted again, it was time to make a choice.
In fact, at this time, Runsheng was already ready to rush through the door, and Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin were also ready for the same.
Compared to the eight people carrying the bed below and the mysterious woman sitting on the bed, normal people would choose to rush to the door. After all, there is only that face in the door!
But at this moment, Li Zhuiyuan suddenly saw that among the four Qing Dynasty people holding up the big bed, the one on the right edge, although his body and hands were very stiff, still maintained the lifting and marching movements, but he But his eyes are moving, constantly moving to the left, back and then to the left, and at the same time, his mouth is opening and closing in a silent mouth shape:
"Go this way...go this way...go this way..."
