Chapter 50: Wrong Judgment Before
Now, I finally know why the heights of the bone pits are different.
It was a face carved from a single piece of huge stone. The pit we saw was actually the extremely expanded mouth of the human face. The human face carved in this stone was very rough, and many of the edges and corners had not even been smoothed. But it was precisely
Because of this, it looks extremely real.
It is as if a desperate man is screaming to the sky before dying. The eyes of the stone human face are staring at the sky, and the muscles on the face seem to be twitching in front of our eyes. The fear and anger are all reflected on its face.
Every detail on it was deeply imprinted in my and Fatty’s hearts.
The face was slightly tilted towards us, and the big mouth seemed to be roaring. The fat man and I seemed like two ants in front of the giant, we could only stand frozen in fear.
The light from the flares became weaker and weaker, and the face gradually became hidden in the darkness.
When darkness enveloped us again, the voice above our heads sounded even more harshly.
Suddenly, the fat man looked at the huge mouth in front of him and said, "Let's jump in there."
I was so frightened just now that it took me a few seconds to react.
"I'm afraid it's not safe in there?" I said anxiously.
The fat man sighed and looked above his head with a wry smile.
"Safe? You think you're safe just standing here." He lowered his head and stared at the mouth of the stone sculptured human face. "We have no way out. Besides, there is something else I have to tell you."
"What?"
The fat man breathed out, "I can hardly run now. When I was sleeping, I may have suffered from the humidity here, and my legs and feet are not very agile. If I encounter danger, I will definitely not be able to run away. I have already arrived here.
It’s a situation where I’m going to jump in, whether alive or dead.”
As he said that, the fat man turned to look at me again. "What about you?"
Looking at him panting, I realized that the fat man's face had no color at all, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
He was right. The thing above our heads is probably going to attack us sooner or later. The flare we fired just now has almost made our surroundings clear. It is not impossible to think of the corridor on the upper floor, but it will definitely take a lot of time, and that
The stuff should be waiting there.
Listening to the noise above my head, I knew that I probably didn't have time to think about it anymore. So I gritted my teeth and nodded to the fat man.
The fat man saw my statement and said nothing. He just grabbed the edge of the corridor and climbed down. I followed, and the two of them came to the mouth of the stone face.
When I took a photo with a smokeless stove, I saw that there seemed to be a slope inside, but the slope was very steep, at least 60 to 70 degrees.
The fat man still walked in front. He put his equipment bag on his back, grabbed the rocks next to him and lay down on his back.
"I guess we will slide all the way down, so be careful." The fat man greeted me and then let go of his hand.
The sound was getting closer and closer. I didn't dare to delay, so I followed his example, lying in the mouth of the stone sculpture of a human face, and began to slide down...
At the beginning, the speed of sliding was relatively slow, and I could barely control myself with my hands and feet. However, because the pothole was so big, I could only put my hands on the stone slab under me. I did not slide more than a few dozen meters.
Well, both of my palms were scratched.
"Are you okay?" Fatty shouted from below, "It's even steeper down here. Be careful, don't fall and hit me."
"Can you say something conducive to unity? Don't worry. If I fall down, I will definitely take you with me."
During the descent, Fatty and I could only keep in touch with each other through such conversations. However, the slope became more and more shaky, and soon, we had no room to talk. We all concentrated on keeping our backs as tight as possible.
It is closer to the ground.
On such a slope, just one roll is guaranteed to break your neck immediately. What's more terrible is that we don't know what is going on underneath. If there is a monster there who hasn't eaten for months, then Fatty and I will not be able to do anything.
It was really like crawling into the tiger's mouth.
I originally thought I would slide down at such an infinite speed, but after a while, the surroundings seemed to calm down again. By the time I saw the fat man's head, I could actually stand up.
But I don’t know whether it was because I was too tired or for other reasons, but I didn’t want to get up.
Slowly sliding next to the fat man, I immediately called him.
"Fat man."
He didn't respond, and I was nervous for a moment, but just as I was about to shout again, I heard a melodious purr coming from the fat man's nostrils.
"Fuck, I really fell asleep." I glared at him, but I also felt a little unable to stand up. There was already a smooth road in front of me. I looked around and there was nothing moving. I relaxed a little and my eyelids followed.
A fight started.
In the end, I didn’t even remember how I fell asleep. In the dream, I was sitting in a room watching TV. The TV was black and white, and opera was playing on it. The opera singer was a woman all in white, and she sang
It's exactly the Yue opera I've heard several times.
Just when I wanted to poke my head to see the woman's face, suddenly, a man walked up to me. I don't know why, but this man was very tall in my eyes. His face was very blurry, and he lowered his head to me.
Said: "It's time to hit the road..."
At the same time, he put his hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a very strange black glove on his right hand.
"Hey, get up and hit the road!"
I vaguely heard the fat man's voice. When I opened my eyes, I saw that he was grabbing my shoulders and shaking me.
"Damn it, why are you less useful than me, a seriously injured person?" Seeing me open my eyes, the fat man also let me go.
I stood up and felt a stinging pain in all the bones in my body. When I looked again, I saw that the fat man was already boiling water on a smokeless stove, and there was dried meat in a small pot. I asked him that the dried meat could be eaten directly.
, why do you need to cook it?
The fat man said that we both had just recovered, and what we needed most was some cooked food.
We all sat down in front of the smokeless stove and smelled the aroma from the small pot. Only then did I feel that I had really wasted a lot of things in the past.
"By the way, have you seen it around?" I asked the fat man.
Suddenly, the fat man's face darkened, "Not yet, let's wait until we eat something."
"What do you mean, talk about it later." I immediately felt strange, "What exactly did you find?"
When the fat man saw that I was getting serious, he sighed. He stood up, took out a spare flashlight from his bag, and motioned for me to follow him forward.
I immediately got up and walked into the darkness with the fat man.
After walking only ten meters, I saw a stone tablet more than two meters high standing in front of me.
It is full of words, but I recognize very few of them.
The fat man shined his flashlight at the stone tablet and said, "You don't need to read it, this is Xiaozhuan. It doesn't matter if you don't know the other characters, as long as you can understand these three."
As he spoke, the fat man pointed to the three fonts in the inscription.
I looked at it and still didn't recognize it, but I was a little embarrassed to admit it.
The fat man rolled his eyes at me, "Are you really a college graduate? I'll tell you, these three characters are 'Zhuge Ke', followed by his character 'Yuan Xun', and then his life."
After hearing this, I said: "Then this is really Zhuge Ke's tomb?"
The fat man nodded and asked me to follow him.
Continuing to walk forward, I saw two more damaged stone lions. Although I have no research on this aspect, I still feel that the two stone lions in front of me are not very impressive.
Continuing forward, I found that the level of dilapidation here was almost the same as that of ruins.
We first entered a very narrow tomb passage. There were only two side chambers on the left and right, and there were very few burial objects, and none of them were well preserved.
I suddenly felt a little strange. Didn't Professor Chen say that this ancient tomb was of high standard? Why did the things in front of me look so out of place? This was completely different from what we saw when we came in.
After walking into another tomb, the fat man pointed to the pile of rotten wood in the middle and said, "At the end, this is the main tomb."
"Ah?" My eyes almost fell to the ground, "Is it right here? It's impossible, it's too shabby here."
"What a shabby place, inscriptions, tomb passages, auricular chambers..." The fat man kicked the pile of rotten wooden boards, "The coffins are all available. This should be Zhuge Ke's tomb."
I can't judge, nor can I accept what the fat man said, "But why did he make the outside so nice, but then made the main tomb so casual?"
"What's on the outside and what's inside," the fat man said, "Starting from that stone tablet to here is Zhuge Ke's mausoleum, the entire mausoleum, do you understand?"
"The whole thing? That's all? What's outside?" I was completely confused.
The fat man said: "I don't know about this, but I just discovered something very interesting."
As he said that, the fat man pointed his electric light at the corner of the tomb. I looked along and saw a medium-sized hole there. It seemed that it had been dug not long ago.
Suddenly, a flash occurred in my mind, "Is this the robbery hole dug by Professor Chen and others?"
"It must be." The fat man walked to the middle of the pile of broken coffin boards. When he moved the top board away, I saw a long metal box.
"What is that?" I asked.
"This is something that wealthy families put under their coffins in ancient times. They were usually made of bronze or gold or silver, in order to enhance the status of the owner of the tomb." As he said that, the fat man put his hand on it, and then with a strong force, the thing fell.
A gap opened.
I saw that it looked like an iron box, and the fat man seemed a little unable to break it open, so I stepped forward to help.
As soon as I exerted force, I found that this thing was very heavy. The fat man bared his teeth and said, "Damn, I just spent all my energy on this. Yeah!"
The fat man and I almost tried our best to get the lid of the iron box aside. Wiping the sweat, I quickly looked inside.
"Don't look at it, the things inside have been taken away long ago," the fat man said.
Although there was nothing in the box, I still saw a few lines of words on it. "What is it written on?" I asked the fat man.
The fat man said: "I'm not an expert in this field. How can I know them all? But I can roughly understand the meaning of it. This should be written for the golden captain like me. It probably means
, the box is gold, you can take it away, but please keep the things inside."
"Gold?" I thought to myself that such heavy gold is still an antique. How much is it worth? However, I was still more concerned about that thing. "Could there be anything more valuable in there?"
The fat man snorted, "Have you forgotten the snow crane feather? I guess the fan that was originally placed here was."
I was stunned for a moment, "Is there a snow crane feather fan in here?" Suddenly, I felt something strange.
The robber's cave is here, the coffin was smashed, the body was missing, and the contents of the gold box were also missing. If there really was a snow crane feather in it, then the people who took it away should be Professor Chen and the others.
But that's wrong. Aren't Professor Chen and Zhuge Xuan just here for the Snow Heyu? If they had already obtained it when they came last time, why did they come down?
According to what Wei Lin said, after they obtained Xue Heyu, they should immediately rush to find Sansan Jie Zang.
Although this matter has not been confirmed, what is certain is that Professor Chen and the others definitely did not return empty-handed when they came here last time.
