Chapter 57
Probably because Qi Feichen chose a good place, the hole was not difficult to drill, and a hole leading to the bottom was already opened in about an hour.For the sake of efficiency, the entrance of this cave was opened directly above the tomb, so for the return journey, Qian Lang specially took a strong rope and tied it to a nearby tree, and hung the other end of the rope into the cave.He turned around and took another rope that was a little shorter, and tied it around Wen Yuran's waist, and tied the other end to his belt.
It was the first time he had truly experienced the feeling of being tied to the waistband of his trousers at such a big age, as if he had returned to the time when he was playing games in kindergarten.
"Don't separate from me after you go down." Qian Lang warned again solemnly.
"I'll try my best, can you stop making it look like you're going on a spring outing hand in hand." It's not embarrassing enough to be seen.
Fortunately, even if they were tied to the waist of their trousers, at least Qianlang still left about five or six meters of rope between them, so there shouldn't be too much room for movement in the mausoleum, and they wouldn't be entangled when walking around.
It was not until Qi Feichen got impatient, Qian Lang finally stopped talking, but bent down to put his backpack on his back, grabbed the rope, and slid down very quickly .
Wen Yuran saw a flashlight in the cave, and shook it around, as if to confirm the surrounding situation, only a few minutes later heard Qianlang asking them to follow.
After Wen Yuran landed, Qi Feichen slowly floated down from the top, so leisurely that he seemed to be on a sightseeing tour.
Turning on the flashlight and looking around, Wen Yuran realized that the place where they came down was not the tomb, but the tomb passage.There are murals painted on the walls of the tomb on both sides, Qi Feichen glanced at it for a while, and said: "Going forward, it should lead to the tomb of the fourth emperor brother, and the ear chamber where the funeral objects are placed is not far from here. But there is nothing to go to. Necessary, probably can't find anything useful. Let's go to Brother Huang."
According to Qi Feichen, six princes were buried in this tomb, and the so-called eldest brother, the emperor, was also buried here. Each tomb is independent of each other and connected to form a whole. Intricacies, he is not very clear.
But since they are going to the emperor's tomb or the burial chamber, let's take a look back for now.
"Is there any mechanism in your tomb?" Wen Yuran asked Qi Feichen while walking behind Qian Lang.
"Of course there are traps, but most of them are not complicated. His skill is enough to deal with them. After all, the main method used to prevent tomb robbers in this tomb is not traps." Qi Feichen walked at the end of the three, always paying attention to the people behind him. Situation, "If you hear any strange noises for a while, just hold your breath, and you shouldn't die if you run faster."
This kind of statement is not reassuring at all, Wen Yuran's footsteps stopped, and even his voice subconsciously lowered a lot: "Can't you stop talking halfway, do you think this is telling ghost stories to scare children?"
As they said that, they had already reached the entrance of the tomb, but before going out, Qian Lang suddenly stopped, turned off the flashlight and said in a low voice, "Quiet."
All of a sudden, Qian Lang turned around and covered her mouth, and Wen Yuran didn't have time to make any noise, but seeing Qian Lang turn off the flashlight, she turned off the flashlight too.Without the light of the flashlight, the only source of light here for a while was a little sunlight coming in from the hole a little far away, but the distance around them was still pitch black.
He even held his breath, and his hearing seemed to become particularly sharp in the darkness, only the sound of footsteps seemed to come from a distance.The footsteps were quite heavy, and the steps were very slow. Obviously there were other moving things in this tomb besides them, so they didn't know what it was.
"You can turn on the light, that thing can't be seen, as long as you don't breathe within ten meters of it." Qi Feichen said, it seems that he has a certain understanding of that thing in the distance.
Seeing that he was sure of what he said, Qian Lang turned on the flashlight to shine in the direction of the sound, but it only illuminated the square space connected by the tomb passage, which is not large, it is estimated to be about ten square meters, and there is another tomb passage connected to the opposite side of the square. , and perhaps the left and right ends as well.
"It is a living corpse made by Feng Shui magicians in a secret way. Most of them are made of martyrdom guards. The living corpse has been wandering in this mausoleum, sensing the breath of a living person and biting it to death." Simply explained After talking about the origin of this thing, Qi Feichen threw up his hands after finishing speaking, "This thing will only be put in when the emperor's tomb is completely sealed after the burial. Only the members of the royal family know about it, and I only saw it for the first time, so I only know so much."
Hearing the footsteps, the living corpse seemed to be walking away gradually, and the distance from them should be more than ten meters. Wen Yuran breathed a sigh of relief: "Seal the tomb? You built this tomb for several people at once. If the emperor dies, others If you haven’t died yet, why seal the tomb?”
"Sometimes you are quite intelligent, but sometimes you are often dull and funny." Qi Feichen chuckled a few times, and when he spoke again, there was a trace of coldness in his tone, "Of course you want to live and die with His Majesty, unless His Majesty's heirs are too old Only one person will be left to assist me. It’s just a pity, I was in a hurry to find the general, but I couldn’t catch up with this honor.”
Wen Yuran didn't know how to reply for a while.
Standing in this square room, they are facing three forked roads. Considering that the roads they go down may be so similar, in order to avoid finding the way back, they used fluorescent lights on the left wall. The paint pen draws an arrow to mark the route.
Standing at this fork in the road, Qian Lang took out the compass, frowned and stared at the arrow above it for a while, thinking for a while, and finally chose the road on the left.
"I don't know much about feng shui in tombs, so let's take a step at a time."
Wen Yuran had no objection at all, he was just a spectator after all, and since Qi Feichen also said that Qian Lang's life would be safe for a while, it doesn't matter if he stayed in the hotel down the mountain for a week or two and slowly explored the tomb.
"How many of those living corpses do you usually put in the tomb?" Wen Yuran asked casually as he walked beside Qianlang, "If it takes ten steps, it won't make people gasp."
Before Qi Feichen could reply, Qian Lang laughed first: "My lung capacity is very good, and I can breathe for you."
As for the question of how to breathe, if you think about it with your knees, you know it won't be with a straw.
The terrain in the mausoleum is more complicated than imagined, and you can feel a certain slope when walking in the tomb passage, that is to say, it is possible that the tomb is still a layered structure, and the space is bigger. The empty sound also proves that there are other spaces behind some tomb walls.And every time you walk through a section of the tomb passage, you will always see another room. The exact same structure makes you wonder if you have been spinning in circles.
It is said to be a mausoleum, but actually walking in it is more like a maze.
The tomb passage is relatively narrow and can only allow two people to pass side by side, so if you encounter such a living corpse in the tomb passage, it will be more troublesome. If you don't want to face it head-on, you can only retreat and wait for it to leave, or choose another passage.
After walking in this boring and single environment for about ten minutes, they came across the first mechanism.
Almost as soon as Qianlang stepped on a brick in front, there was a soft sound of the brick falling off. Fortunately, Qianlang immediately pulled Wen Yuran back, so that he didn't fall down with the bricks and soil.After standing still, Wen Yuran scanned the ground with a flashlight, and there were many spikes standing on the ground. Although there were some rusts with the passage of time, it probably wouldn't feel good to just fall like this.As Qi Feichen said, the trap is not complicated, and it seems that it is not difficult to deal with it, but if you get caught in the trick, the consequences will not be good.
"So change the way?"
Visually, the distance of this gap is about five or six meters. It is not impossible to jump over it. I don't know if the person who designed this trap will play tricks on the opposite ground.
Qian Lang forcibly broke off a large piece of brick from the edge of the cave-in, and threw it to the opposite side.
It actually hit the ground with a loud noise, and the brick stopped moving after rolling two or three times, and nothing unusual happened.Qian Lang repeated the action just now three times, and the opposite tomb passage was still safe and sound, except for the sound of bricks and stones falling to the ground.
"I'll go and have a look first, and if there's no problem, let Qi Feichen take you there."
"Wait, wait, if you want to go there, you have to untie this rope first." Wen Yuran grabbed Qianlang, and then started to unbutton his waist. Lang tied it quite firmly, "I'm afraid that you didn't let the monster bite you to death, but you were killed by the rope you tied yourself first."
The length of the rope was about the same as the collapse, and it basically straightened after passing through. If the length of the pit was longer, one of the people would be pulled by the rope and fall down.
To untie the rope, Qian Lang obviously hesitated, but Wen Yuran had already untied it before he could speak: "Are you sure you can jump over? If you are not sure, don't be handsome and let Qi Feichen take you there, anyway, there is nothing wrong here Son, even if there are living corpses coming over, it won't be so fast."
After confirming the distance again, Qianlang shook his head, his brows still frowning: "It's nothing, if anything happens, call me immediately."
Wen Yuran stood sideways against the wall to make room, Qianlang wrapped the rope around his waist casually, took a few steps back, accelerated to the edge, jumped up, and landed very lightly on the opposite tomb passage.
After landing, he stood there and paused for a while. Qianlang raised his foot and stepped on the surrounding bricks a few times, then knocked on the wall of the tomb casually. After making sure that nothing happened, he turned around and looked at Wen Yuran with a smile: "No problem, Please come here."
small theater:
Having been with Qianlang for a long time, Wen Yuran occasionally worried that he would develop dementia in advance because no matter what it was, as long as he asked casually, the other party would immediately tell where to put it, whether it was underwear or a razor, or even chewing gum. no exception
He doesn't really want to know what Qianlang did to this house without his knowledge
