Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes
Chapter 20 Underground Palace
What we burned were the leaves and branches on the pit, some of which were not completely dry, the fire was not big, and there was a lot of smoke.
I covered my nose with a cloth and said, "Okay, brother three? There was a big fire just now."
After half an hour, most of the pottery vat was blackened. Yao Wence poked it down with a stick, but this time he didn't bring up the corpse horn fairy.
"It should be useful, who will play first?" The boss asked in a deep voice.
"Me! I'm coming!" Sun Laosan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go down to find the way for you first, in case the second brother is down there. I can rescue him too."
He grabbed the side of the tank, and first used his legs to explore the depth.
"It's not that deep, it seems to be touching the ground."
suddenly.
There was a sound of gravel collapsing below, and Sun Laosan exclaimed!
"Catch it! Don't shake around! I've caught you, third child! Yunfeng, come and help!"
I quickly ran over to grab Sun Laosan's other arm, and the Yao family brothers and sisters also ran over to help when they saw this, and together they pulled Sun Laosan up with his feet dangling in the air.
"What's the situation, third child!"
Sun Laosan was dragged up by us, and he said in shock: "It's... so dangerous, it should have collapsed."
Yao Yumen looked down with a flashlight, and it was pitch black under the clay vat, so dark that he couldn't see anything.
Sun Laosan didn't give up, so he made another suggestion, saying to tie a rope and slide down.
Not knowing how deep it was, we tied a climbing rope around his waist.
The boss and I pulled the rope tightly.
"Third brother, be careful, if something goes wrong, just yell, and we will pull you up immediately!"
Sun Laosan nodded with his headlamp on.
He just slid down the vat a little bit.
Two meters, three meters, five meters, and the rope quickly reached ten meters.
Yao Yumen frowned and said, "Could it be an underground palace below? Why is it so deep?"
Finally, when the climbing rope was lowered to 18 meters, he stopped walking, and Sun Laosan below should have come to an end.
The boss couldn't hold his breath anymore, after all, it was his own younger brother who disappeared in the pit.
"It's no use just talking and guessing on it! If there was a big earthquake in ancient times, it would not be impossible to sink 18 meters!"
"You pull the safety rope, I'll go down to find the third child," Boss Sun put the rope up and began to wrap it around his waist.
"I'm fine, brother! Come down and have a look, my God! I've never seen this before!" Sun Laosan shouted loudly from below.
As a result, several people continued to slide down one after another. I was the third from the bottom, and the Yao family brothers and sisters were at the bottom.
I don't have much strength in my hands, and my hand hurts from the climbing rope I'm holding tightly.
The hole was very dark, and I looked up when I was halfway down.
On the inner wall below the opening of the hole, there are several flat beetles crawling. These are the corpse horn fairy that was not burned to death just now. When I illuminated the lamp, these few beetles remained motionless.
After telling the brothers and sisters of the Yao family above, I grabbed the rope and slid down a little bit.
Then came Yao Yumen, and finally Yao Wence. Yao Wence tied the rope loop to the big tank when he came down. He said that we will use the rope when we go back up.
Coming down from the top, the space below is very large. Not only me, but also the Yao family brothers and sisters and the Sun family brothers were dumbfounded.
It was so dark that I used a flashlight to take photos everywhere.
The surrounding area is very empty and there are stone walls. This underground space must have been artificially constructed.
In the dark, we couldn’t see clearly, and the flashlight’s lighting range was limited. Sun Laosan, who was walking in front, noticed it first. He suddenly asked us to stop and said that there were dead bones on the ground in front of us.
It is not surprising that there are dead bones in the tombs. What is strange is that these bones scattered on the ground do not seem to be very old, because they are still very white, and at a glance, there are leg bones, hand bones, finger bones, But only the skull was missing.
Sister Yu was very courageous, she squatted down and looked at it and said: "A few months to half a year, not a long time."
I also found an empty Nongfu Spring bottle on the ground nearby.
Although there are many doubts, such as no human skull, no clothes, etc.
But at that time, several people whispered together, and everyone temporarily agreed with Sun Laosan's idea, he guessed so.
On the night we just went down to the pit, we found a hole blasted by a detonator in the top of the tomb passage. At first, we thought this trip was a waste of time. It was because the local tomb robbers from the south had arrived first and stole all the funerary objects below. up.
The result was just the opposite. We found modern towels and traces of other people coming down, but the west ear room was still rich in funeral objects. We filled seven or eight big sacks. At that time, the second brother said that the southern mice had changed to vegetarian, so give us Good intentions to leave so much fat.
Now that we came down here and saw the bottle of Nongfu Spring and these bones, we guessed that this should be related to the group of tomb robbers a few months ago.
How they died and how they got here, we don't know, the only reasonable explanation is that they cheated on each other.
At this time, Yao Yumen took out a compass from her bag, and she squatted down to fiddle with the compass.
"Sister Yu, what is this?" I asked because I couldn't understand.
"Don't ask nonsense, boy, don't distract my sister now, there are many things you don't know," his brother Yao Wence gave me a cold look.
There are two long needles and one short needle on the compass. Strange to say, no one moves the compass, but the short needle keeps shaking from side to side.
"Over there..." Yao Yumen got up and pointed to the northwest.
I didn’t understand it at the time, but now that I’ve been in the industry for a long time, I can tell you that that kind of compass is specially made, and the short needle is made of a material called Tiantie, which is what the ancients called it. Yes, now people call it a meteorite.
This kind of compass is specially used by the descendants of the Fatou School in the south who look at yin houses and choose cemeteries. They look at the mountains and see the improvement, and they rely on silver needles to determine the position. This involves complicated knowledge of Fengshui and magnetic fields.
A few people followed Yao Yumen to the northwest. Along the way, I saw several stone oil lamp stands. I secretly guessed that thousands of years ago, the lights below should be brightly lit.
After walking for more than ten minutes, we were blocked by a big stone gate.
There are many patterns and characters engraved on the surface of the stone gate, densely packed, most of them cannot be understood, as if the carvings on the stone gate are the culture of another world.
There are four characters in the middle of the stone gate, not the nine-fold seal script above, it should be bird seal script.It looks more conspicuous.
"Do you know Niaozhuan?" Seeing Yao Yumen staring blankly at Dashimen, Boss Sun asked casually.
It took a while to come back to her senses, she nodded with a pale face.
"It's over here...we can't go any further." She said in a lonely tone.
Boss Sun frowned and said, "What do you mean, you plan to quit?"
Yao Yumen nodded with a pale face.
"This level...has surpassed the Mawangdui Han Tomb. Those four characters are... Mustard Palace."
"Behind this stone gate is several tons of natural stone, and we alone cannot open it from the outside."
"You accidentally discovered something extraordinary. This, this is... a national-level earth palace."
I covered my nose with a cloth and said, "Okay, brother three? There was a big fire just now."
After half an hour, most of the pottery vat was blackened. Yao Wence poked it down with a stick, but this time he didn't bring up the corpse horn fairy.
