"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?"
"Me too. I don’t know, but there was a violent storm coming suddenly, waiting for us to take shelter. After 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. Oh my God, I can't even imagine that they were actually buried at the foot of the mountain. So many dead people," Mai Lao said in a serious 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 did the people from the Ming Dynasty compare with the people from the Qing Dynasty? Are there any problems with being buried in the same place?" 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. Well, he said thoughtfully.
"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 collectively thrown into the big Inside the pit, if they hadn't crawled out from the ground, who would have known that dead people were 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, and they wanted to occupy it, so both sides That's how it will turn out." Chang Shan said with confidence.
"Even if that's what you said, why do these Ming Dynasty people live on this island?" I looked at Chang Shan and asked.
“Well, I can’t think of it yet, why they lived on this island before, and why they ended up like this in the end. These things are very crucial, and they should be one of the secrets hidden on this island. 1. "
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Haha, don't worry, this island's secret won't be hidden for long, someone will 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 have a look."
Jiao Ba walked to the front of the intersection, shined a flashlight on the surrounding area, and then left When he reached one side, he touched around the wall with his hands, and then went to the other side, also groping for something along the wall with his hands.
"Hey, Laoba, what are you doing?" What is he touching there? Just leave as soon as possible.
"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 'coaxing' sound, and a fire started above the entrance. The flames, those flames lit up one by one along the entrance, lighting up the entire passage in an instant.
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 It should be a way to escape, right?" the big man said a little disbelievingly.
“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 his head and looked at everyone.
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 completely It's just a guess, combined with 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, don't you think these conditions are enough?" Jiao Ba's expression. Said weirdly.
"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 of this underground passage. On both ends of the entrance, every one meter, there is something like a small iron basin, and above each small iron basin, there is a A candle, the same candles just now, 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 with patterns on them. It's not artificially made, it's 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 mentioned. Is there really a mausoleum here? Whose mausoleum could be of such a huge scale?
Except for 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 alone. .
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was built to be as majestic as a mountain. So, the barren mountain on this island is actually not a mountain at all. It was originally a mausoleum, but it looks like a mountain, which we mistakenly think It is a big mountain.
When I thought about this, even I was surprised. Who could be the person who could build a mausoleum as big as a mountain? This huge scale is beyond the reach of even the emperor.
Could it be the mistress of Fengpei? At present, apart from her, I can't think of anyone else, but one thing I can think of is that just because it is a desert island, it is possible to build a mausoleum of this scale. If it were on the mainland, it would be absolutely impossible.
"Lao Ba, tell me, 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 also You’ve all seen it, how big is this mountain? 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 the time, it couldn’t have been built on flat ground. It should have been the original island. Yes." 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. Things can’t be transported.”
"If there really is 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 a 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 seemed to be guarding this island. Maybe... it was those Qing soldiers who discovered the secret of this island. In order to snatch something, we have to start a war."
"It's very possible, but we can only find out if we go in," said Mr. Mai with a cold face.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's leave 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 is any mechanism inside? Ah, if there really is a tomb, then this passage might be heavily guarded. If you go in so recklessly, it doesn't matter if you die, but don't implicate everyone else." Jiao Ba said in a somewhat aggressive tone, almost glaring. He said through gritted teeth.
"You...do you talk like that? It doesn't matter if I die, don't implicate everyone. Why are you like this, Jiao Ba? Have I not offended you?" The big man felt a little unjust. This unintentional move caused Jiao Ba to suffer a lot.
I couldn't stand it, "Old Ba, can you please be a little more measured in what you say? The big man didn't offend you, how could you say that to him." I opened my mouth and cursed Jiao Ba, Then he quickly said over the big man's shoulder, "Brother, don't be angry. He's like this, he's so nagging that sometimes I don't even bother to pay attention to him."
The big man glared angrily, but still No seizures.
Jiao Ba stood at the entrance of the passage, turned around and looked at me and said, "I mean this well. If something happens, I will be scolded."
"Okay, just say less." Let’s do it.”
I gave him a wink. How long has it been since he was still arguing? To be honest, the big man is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is quite warm-hearted and a kind person.
I have been observing for so long, and among our group, 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? I'm hiding it, and when I asked her several times, she said she didn't know. I don't believe it when people are so 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 a good intention.
