Chapter 24: Corpse
Seeing that this channel has been opened, I prepared my backpack, brought something, and was the first to jump down from this half-meter square exit. The distance of two meters high is not very high. I can still jump down easily, but there are steps below. If I am not careful, I will step on the air. In case of rolling down the stone steps, it will be miserable. Fortunately, I haven't lost my usual training in the army, so I immediately stood firm under one.
After arriving at the bottom, I lit a flashlight on the upper and lower sides, but I didn't find any movement or mummified corpses. He quickly waved his hand upwards, and then the people above jumped down one after another. Seeing that everyone was almost there, I quickly greeted and walked up.
Several people hold the guy in their hands, and I'm still the machete. As I was walking, as soon as I looked up, I saw a person standing not far above. To be precise, it was not a living person, but a dead person. I quickly waved my hand and motioned them to stop. Lao Li rushed over, looked at the mummified corpse in front of him, shook his head and said, "It seems to be a corpse, not the terrible name I just imagined, but don't touch it."
I quickly asked, "What is a corpse?" Old Li smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Young man, don't be the old man's name in the future. I still have some insight. After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "There should be nothing wrong with the monkey on it. As for this corpse, it goes without saying. As the name implies, it uses the corpse to raise the corpse to raise the corpse. The worm will sleep with the corpse. Once it meets the living body, it will wake up. At that time, this corpse will chase the living body and bite. This worm has a corpse on it. Poison, once bitten by this kind of thing, although it is not fatal in an instant, but it is also poisonous enough.
I nodded and said, "Since I know that the monkey is fine, let's go down and have a look." The magic stick and others nodded, and then we walked down. Lao Li said as he walked, "This kind of corpse is very powerful. Although it is just a small bug, it can kill elephants if there are too many ants. As far as I know, each corpse should contain hundreds of corpses. Once these things are resurred, it will be preventable. Unpreventable.
Old Li's head was spitting while talking, and no one paid attention to him. He just kept pricking his head and walked forward. This time, he changed to a magic stick and walked in the front, holding a stick-like Pathfinder stick in his hand. As he walked, he checked whether there was a mechanism in front of him. After walking for about ten minutes, stone niches of different sizes gradually began to appear on both sides of the mountain wall. At first, these niches seemed to be dedicated to gods, but if you carefully look at them with a flashlight, you will find that it was not a mud tire, but a dry corpse.
At first, we all felt very surprised when we saw it, but after Lao Li's explanation, we knew that these were basically corpses, and these corpses were even more powerful, called poison. The method of making this kind of poison was very different, that is, eating insects with living people first, but then drinking with insects. This kind of poison will be mutated and cultivated in the stomach of the deceased, but the poison is not fatal. It is a kind of *. After drinking it for 7749 days, the living will die, and the poison will take root and germinate in its body, then devour the deceased's internal organs, then become bigger, and then sleep.
The most powerful thing about this kind of poison is that as long as you encounter Yangqi, you will wake up. Once you are bitten by the poison, then congratulations on winning the prize. He will die completely in less than ten minutes, and he will not even be given a chance to breathe. Therefore, this kind of poison is very poisonous and fast. It is said that it can fly, so it is unlikely to catch or kill it, but to avoid it from coming back to life.
I secretly congratulate each of us with corpse oil to cover up the yang. Otherwise, once these things come alive, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to run. It was easy to get to the bottom, and there was a huge roar in the distance, as if there was groundwater activity. In this environment, it would be strange if there was no underground river, but I wonder why the environment inside is so dry since there is groundwater here.
Along the way, I roughly counted that there were about 30 or 40 poisons. It seemed that Li Zi had become a treasure to protect himself and really worked hard. However, it is still the same saying that since there are people who steal things, there will be people who rob things. Although Li Zicheng has consciously made considerable efforts to protect treasures, we will naturally take precautions inside. Although these corpses are vicious, we have made the principle of not waking up these poisons and successfully walked into his treasure.
When we came to this seemingly empty underground cave, we suddenly found that it was not as luxurious as we thought. It is very large, but it looks like a natural underground cave without much decoration. In the middle, there is a golden coffin, which depicts many people on both sides of the huge coffin. It seems to be a picture of Buddha's sutra. It looks very beautiful. Although it is covered by dust, it still can't hide the beauty. It seems that Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty is popular and is not a guess.
The golden and silver coffin is visiting us, as if the owner of the coffin wants to see the appearance of everyone who comes in. There are many boxes on both sides of the coffin. Each box is only covered with a lid. There is nothing ** outside. I counted them carefully. There are 40 boxes, each of which is basically one meter long and half a meter wide. It looks neatly placed on both sides of the coffin. It seems to be guarding this coffin.
Behind the coffin is a huge cave, and there is a huge roar from the cave. It seems that the amount of water in the underground dark river is very large and should be very rapid. Everyone and I were stunned by the scene in front of us. In particular, the three people's eyes were full of excitement. I don't know how long it took. Lao Li nodded excitedly and said, "It's incredible. This is simply a legend of Fengshui!"
I looked here. Indeed, there were colorful stalactites on the top, which were illuminated by the light of the flashlight and suddenly emitted colorful light, as if in a fairyland. The water mist rose in the huge underground dark river behind me, and a faint white water vapor shrouded below, looking like being in the fairyland of Yaochi. I can't imagine All this is actually a natural environment. It seems that nature is really magical enough to shape this place into a beautiful world.
We nodded and was about to go down. Lao Li quickly stopped us. Obviously, the excitement on his face had not been completely eliminated. He said to us, "Everyone must be careful not to touch anything, let alone the golden coffin and silver, because I was worried that the more flat it would be. The more dangerous the quiet place is. We all worked so hard to get here. I'm afraid no one wants to have an accident at this critical time.
I know Lao Li's worry. We have seen Li Zicheng's viciousness. Even living people can make poisons, not to mention setting up more sinister organs below, so Lao Li's worries are not superfluous. I can fully imagine.
After Lao Li said, everyone nodded and agreed, which was also good. If there are really a few greedy people to open those treasure chests or other things, I'm afraid that we will really die without burial. Lao Li saw that the crowd nodded, and then took the lead down the steps and walked towards the gold and silver coffin in the center.
In fact, the so-called gold coffin and silver are not cast in real gold and silver, but made of bronze or iron, and then coated with a layer of gold and silver on the outside, just like the gold plating outside of the copper water tank of the Forbidden City, which I learned later. The gold and silver coffin in front of us is cast in bronze. Because of the soaring water vapor here, some places have long been rusty, and even the gold plating has fallen off, but this does not affect its luxury and beauty.
Although it is different from what I thought, I still shocked it a little. You know, in ancient times, bronze was not a metal circulating in the market, but a metal controlled by the government. On the one hand, it requires a large amount of copper to make copper money, and on the other hand, only some daily necessities can be used. The official position can be said to be very strict in the manufacture of copper, let alone using so much copper to make coffins.
Now it seems that the owner of this tomb must be very prominent, otherwise he would not be allowed to have such a high-level funeral. Like Lao Li, I circled around this golden coffin, and the patterns depicted on it were very exquisite and lifelike, as if I were alive.
I don't have much research on Buddhism, which is limited to the knowledge of Journey to the West, but this does not affect my aesthetic perspective. The lines of the characters depicted above are plump and look like they have their own forms. They are really beautiful. Lao Li's head kept babbling and sighed so much that he almost shed tears.
I looked at Lao Li's excited look, shook my head and ignored it. Then I looked at other places and found that there was almost nothing else here except these wooden boxes and this golden coffin. This cave is also very natural, and there can't be any mechanism at all. Then I saw that everyone else began to circle around the boxes and seemed to want to take out the things inside and study them. I shook my head. It seemed that these people were really obsessed with money.
Although this, I'm still a little worried. If it's really tempting to take out some treasure from here, I'm afraid we're not simply looking for treasure, but to rob tombs. I'm still a little disgusted with the word tomb robbery and think it's a sinister thing. At this time, I heard a click, and I don't know who kicked one of the already rotten boxes.
