Chapter 282 Water Swallow Bee
"Did it by a living person? In that case, this may be one of the burial pits in the tomb of King Xian?" Hu Bayi said thoughtfully.
This was something that was easy to guess for him who was familiar with the forms of tombs.
“That should be the case.” Shirley Yang nodded.
This is also the most likely explanation.
Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Miss Yang, how do you know this?"
He was very curious about Shirley Yang knowing this, and wanted to ask for advice, so that he could learn from it next time. .
Shirley Yang did not hide anything, and gave the answer directly: "In fact, these things can be found in historical data. A scholar in Europe once said that under every tombstone there are A long novel, and in the tombs of some important historical figures, a large amount of historical information of the time is hidden. "
"As a royal tomb built by gathering the entire national power at that time, it was also a symbol of the society at that time. If you know enough about the crystallization of economy, culture, religion and other aspects, you will be able to do it with ease when going to the tomb. If you have studied the most famous tomb robbers in history, you will find that they are all knowledgeable about the past and the present. "
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he blinked subconsciously, thinking that he might not be able to learn it.
What he wants is a quick fix, not this accumulated approach.
“Let’s talk about Xian Wang.” Chen Ziyan reminded.
He knew that Shirley Yang had investigated King Xian and knew more about it than he did, so he thought that he would simply let her know more about it, so that others could have a better understanding of the goals of the trip. Learn more.
"Okay." Shirley Yang agreed happily.
Then he organized his language and said: "Actually, there has been more than one King Xian in history, but they were all in different eras, just like the Warring States Period, the Five Dynasties, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The title is somewhat similar to the title of Zhongshan, but our goal is very clear, which is to be the King of Xian during the ancient Dian Kingdom.”
"However, after all, this King Xian is just an occasional person who lives in southern Xinjiang. It is not really mainstream, so there are not many records in history. Many information can only be found in unofficial histories. But you also know that unofficial histories are true and true. It’s difficult to research.”
“But now it seems that the record about King Xian’s skill in using evil skills should be correct, but... it’s a bit cruel.”
Shirley Yang. There was a bit of unbearability in his words.
From these human figurines, we can get a glimpse of the cruel and ruthless rule that the people living in western Yunnan at that time accepted.
“Yes.” Ding Sitian, who is also a woman, was also very moved: “This is just a burial pit. I really can’t imagine how many innocent lives were sacrificed in this tomb of the king.”
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but scolded: "These ancient ruling classes really don't treat people as human beings. If you ask me, I would have to open up their tombs. For such virtues, they still want peace after death. Fatty, I am the first You won’t agree!”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Ziyan: “Master Chen, when we leave, just blow up the tomb of Mr. Wang!”
Chen Ziyan: "..."
This fat boy really wants to come up with something.
Even if he wanted to give King Xian a free cremation, Chen Ziyan would not say anything, but if he blew up the entire tomb of King Xian, even a hundred miles around would be alarmed, okay?
Hu Bayi knew that this fat man had a whim, and said to him: "Fat man, can you give me some idea? Do you know how big the tomb of King Xian is? How much explosives would it take to blow this up? You can hear it from dozens of miles away." Besides, if the poisonous miasma is to be evaporated, who can bear the responsibility?"
"Old Hu, just calm down for a while, I just said a word and it caused you to act like this? The truth is...just do your essential work well, what does our seminar on history have to do with you, a sailor!" Wang Kaixuan fired back in a series of words.
“Fuck you!” Hu Bayi was furious when he heard this: “As long as you are attending a history seminar, I think you only know how to write the word history!”
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Chen Ziyan quickly stopped him: "I told you both to take a break, why did they start fighting again without saying a few words!"
Chen Ziyan is now I seriously doubt whether these two guys are using this method to relieve their emotions, but it is really not suitable to continue now, otherwise he would not interrupt, and he would have moved to a small bench to watch the fun.
Facts have proved that Chen Ziyan's words are still effective, and the two immediately stopped talking after hearing the words.
Ding Sitian suddenly said at this time: "Have you noticed, it seems a little different from the description in the information."
Although she didn't say much, she was always paying attention. looking at the surrounding scene.
Shirley Yang said: "Maybe it has something to do with the recent heavy rains. The water level should be higher than usual now. It's understandable that the things I see are different."
" If this is the case, are we not walking in the right direction?" Wang Kaixuan said hurriedly: "Why don't we turn around and go back like we did last time? I don't want to walk through the maze again."
< br>
Chen Ziyan said softly: "Don't worry about this. No matter which river it is in the mountain, it will eventually flow in one direction. As long as you follow it, you can pass through Zhelong Mountain. Moreover, the river is very straight now. Obviously Just like Shirley said, it was the waterway used to transport materials when King Xian built the mausoleum. There will be no problems if you walk along it."
Hu Bayi also said: "Master Chen is right, ancient times. When building large mausoleums, waterways were used to transport materials. This may be the one with the closest end point to the destination among the many underground rivers. "
Seeing them all say this, Wang Kaixuan's heart instantly relaxed. .
After he felt relaxed, he suddenly thought of what Hu Bayi had said to him when he passed by the Wei River when he went to Shaanxi last time. He turned around and asked, "Old Hu, do you still remember the person we saw last time?" Did you say anything when we were on the Weihe River? "
Hu Bayi recalled it and said: "Is it the saying 'take the stone from the mouth of the sweet spring, and the Wei River will not flow'? '
"That's right!" Wang Kaixuan nodded, and then said: "I remember you said that when the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was built, the Wei River was the waterway for transportation. Compared with that river, did you say that this is just a sewer in front of you? If so, This Mr. Wang Xian is barely a humble servant among the princes."
Hu Bayi felt that Wang Kaixuan's words were unexpectedly pleasant, so he followed up and said, "That's right. , Well, let’s defeat his fight and give him face.”
But at this moment, the boat that was slowly moving forward jolted suddenly as if it had hit something. A heavy metallic stirring sound was heard coming from the water.
This unusual sound gave everyone a sense of foreboding.
Chen Ziyan reminded him at the first moment: "We are all on guard, we are afraid we may have triggered some mechanism!"
After hearing this, the others quickly grabbed the edge of the boat beside them to prevent themselves from falling into the water due to the accident.
"Plop, plop..."
Before the noise under the river surface stopped, I heard a series of falling water sounds behind me. There was almost no interval between the sound coming and becoming denser.
"It should be the human figurines hanging above." Shirley Yang calmly made an inference. In fact, it is not difficult to guess. The only known things behind them are those human figurines.
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he was afraid that he would be attacked, so he quickly took off his rifle and was ready to fight back at any time.
At this time, except for Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi, everyone else on the boat subconsciously turned their heads, but unfortunately, they were too far away from the section where the human figurines were hung, and exceeded the range of the flashlight. There was only total darkness, and there was no way to see anything at all.
After the sound at the bottom of the river stopped, Chen Ziyan looked at the calm water in front of him and said, "Old Hu, speed up. As long as we are fast enough, nothing behind us will be of any use."
"Okay!" After Hu Bayi responded, their ship immediately accelerated its speed.
However, even if the speed is increased, it is only relative, and it is impossible to directly increase the speed to the maximum speed.
But unexpectedly, just after walking more than a hundred meters, a group of human figurines appeared again in the beam of searchlight.
This situation is already terrifying, especially after the situation just now, it becomes even more terrifying.
It happened that the house leaked and it rained all night. Just when they saw the human figures, the copper chains binding the human figures in front of them also fell off one after another. The human figures were like dumplings, falling one after another. Keep falling into the river.
In the blink of an eye, within the scope of the searchlight, only the empty copper chains were left shaking.
This situation almost made it clear to them that this river channel used to transport materials when King Xian built the mausoleum must have some hidden mechanism.
As for this mechanism whose function is currently unknown, the key to its effectiveness is, not surprisingly, the fallen human figurines.
“This is really a bad start!” Hu Bayi cursed in a low voice, and then increased the speed of the boat again.
If you want to follow the method just now, don't wait for the mechanism to work, and rush out of this section of the river first.
But what confused everyone was that until they successfully crossed this section of the river, the river was completely silent, and there were not even ripples caused by objects falling into it.
However, this calmness did not make a few people relax, but made them more and more vigilant.
They all know in their hearts that there may be thunder and light rain, but they should never appear in the mausoleum.
And the current calmness shows that huge dangers and disturbances are brewing somewhere they don't know.
With this thought in mind, except for Hu Bayi, who needed to take charge of the boat, everyone else took out their sidearms.
However, after getting ready for a long time, the river behind him was still as calm as before, and there was still no movement at all.
But this is not a bad thing for them. If they can leave this section of the river smoothly, with the current car, they can get rid of any problems.
Gudu Gudu——
Just when Chen Ziyan thought he could pass this section of the river smoothly, there was finally movement in the river behind him. With the help of the light of the flashlight, he saw that the river behind him seemed to be opening up. Like a pot.
It happened that a beam of flashlight passed through the water and hit a human figurine swaying in the water.
At this time, I didn’t know whether it was due to contact with the river water, but obvious cracks appeared on the gray-brown skin.
Even the originally blurry facial features became much clearer, revealing the tragic expression left by the pain before death.
At this time, illuminated by the light and refracted by the river, it seemed as if the human figurines had come to life. At a rough glance, it was extremely terrifying.
Leaving aside others, at least Ding Sixian, who was holding a flashlight, trembled subconsciously after seeing this scene.
“No, the evil figures in those evil figures are going to be resurrected! Let’s go quickly!” Shirley Yang saw the cracks on the figures, which swelled and turned into cracks, as if she suddenly thought of What, he reminded anxiously.
Hu Bayi could not look back at this time and could only follow the instructions of others. After hearing Shirley Yang's anxious voice, he increased the speed of the boat again without thinking.
Although he couldn't see what was going on, he could make the always calm Shirley Yang react like this, and the specific situation could be imagined.
Chen Ziyan also heard Shirley Yang's shout, but he also did not look back, but directly took out his domain device from his personal space.
Now the disguise of the domain device changed again, and it was wrapped in hollow metal balls. Then he threw these metal balls directly as if he had eyes on his back. position, wrapping several people inside.
It’s just that because of the shape of the hull, there is no way to completely wrap the entire ship.
After finishing this matter, Chen Ziyan stopped paying attention to the following things and continued to return his attention to the front.
At this time, the worms in those figurines have come out. These worms are actually a kind of special insect eggs that can preserve their vitality for a long time. At this moment, after these eggs encounter water, they seem to absorb The water-soaked sponge quickly expanded into a bug the size of a fingertip. This bug had fins like little fingernails on both sides of its body, so it swam extremely fast and was difficult to catch with sight.
As if receiving some kind of instruction, these bugs quickly chased towards their ship after regaining their ability to move.
“This is a water wasp!”
When these insects got closer, Ding Sitian, who saw the appearance of this thing clearly, immediately recognized what it was.
Everyone else was shocked when they heard the name Water Swallow Bee.
Although they had just arrived in Yunnan, they had already heard about this shocking water bee.
This is a shallow aquatic insect that likes to attach itself to floating objects to lay eggs. It is also called a water wasp.
Wang Kaixuan subconsciously wanted to shoot to stop him, but before he could pull the trigger, he was stopped by Ding Sitian next to him.
Ding Sitian said to him: "Don't be too nervous. Water pigeons can't fly out of the water. As long as we don't go into the water, we'll be fine."
She also just remembered that the boat underneath her But with special protection, although these water wasps are powerful, there is no way to do anything about them.
