Chapter 040 Main Hall

I saw that the panic on the fat man's face had dissipated and was replaced by determination. I couldn't help but ask him, is this a matter of taking life and death lightly, and just do it if you don't accept it?

The fat man put down his trousers, limped two steps, turned his back and said to me: "How do you say this? Although we haven't kowtowed to the ground yet, our sworn brotherhood has become a reality. How do you say that?" , I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. Isn’t it true that some people regard this sentence as a slogan?”

Among the three of them, I was the only one who was not poisoned by the strange poison. The fat man's words with his back turned to me made me very embarrassed.

The fat man put his fist on his mouth and coughed twice, turned around and said to me with a smile: "Come on, Lao Cao. Give me back my bag and gun. Fatty, I'm going to break the pot today and fight to the death with you!"

The fat man wanted to keep going, but I was in no hurry to hand the bag back to him.

I held the bag with one hand and said to the fat man: The big piece of gold he held was three times bigger than a Mopan persimmon. The smelting technology at that time was definitely not pure. We were about to enter the main hall. It was unlucky to bring sacrifices with us. It was better to dispose of them on the spot.

When the fat man heard this, he became anxious, and his limp was almost cured by my words. He picked up his backpack from the ground in a panic, and said to me with a grin on his face: "Ouch! I said Lao Cao... although we We have set the rules before, but do you really want to do it now? You can't have trouble with money...

I mean... take this thing out, no matter whether it is pure or not, just this craft, let me tell you this, although you get the money, you also lose the worries! "

The fat man fumbled around in the bag and caught the round golden plate. His face felt relieved, and he continued to talk nonsense: "The side hall is still a long way away from here. I don't know. Whether they have escaped completely or not, Black Poison can't even tell where they are. You can't just let a sick patient like me go back and put the plate back into the sacrifice pit, right?"

Seeing me shaking my head helplessly, Fatty was still a little worried.

"Let's talk it over first. I'm not being an asshole. I've been poisoned and my legs have become like this. I might not be able to eat the next can. Can't I ask for some mental damages?"

Judging from this posture, the fat man is determined to eat this golden plate, and in my panic just now, I saw a head spying on us inside the door. There must be a trap waiting for us. I didn't want to start a dispute with him at this juncture, so I had to let him go for the time being, and finally find a way to deal with the sacrifice.

When I turned around, I found that Long Wu's expression was very different. I thought to myself that he had become a little uneasy since he saw the broken arrow. So he gestured to Fatty and asked him to pay attention to Long Wu's abnormality.

The fat man limped around and wanted to go in front of Long Wu to take a look, but no matter how the fat man tried to push him away, Long Wu could hide away uneasily and kept showing his back to others.

For a moment, the scene was extremely embarrassing. The lame walking fat man and the taciturn Long Wu staged a mime for me.

The fat man couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed Long Wu's symbol - the scabbard of the Wujin Mountain Blade, preventing him from turning around anymore, and then said.

"I said, Third Brother, what are you thinking about on your own? Let me tell you, Second Brother has an advantage. As long as he has helped me, I will never be able to repay the kindness in my lifetime."

The fat man put his arm on Long Wu's shoulders and continued.

"Now my second brother is in the same situation as you. He is poisoned by a strange poison, but he is not afraid. Instead, he thinks it is a kind of fate. The purpose of coming here is to detoxify you. This is fine. If you hadn't taken action in time, I would have His head has long been taken away by the one-eyed leopard."

"These are not the main ones!" Long Wu said with a worried look on his face: "I vaguely recalled that I accidentally touched the mechanism at that time. The gray stone slab was as fragile as tissue paper and was destroyed. Why did it remain intact when you stepped on it today? . If I hadn’t known the remains of the broken arrow, I really wouldn’t have been able to bring back this memory.”

I stood on the stone steps and walked around. Behind me was the main door of the main hall. I listened carefully to their conversation. Most of the mechanisms in the ancient tomb were activated at once.

The mechanism in the thousand-year-old tomb is broken, and if there are living people to repair it, it sounds like a fantasy.

Even if there is such a strange thing, why only repair the stone slabs and not replace the poisonous arrows?

At the same time, I was also thinking that it would be great if Long Wu was poisoned three months ago. At least it would ensure that he would not die suddenly within three months after being poisoned. But if you think about it carefully, being poisoned is really not a good thing.

The three of them packed up their equipment and headed out again. The stone steps under their feet were carved with white jade, and their flashlights glowed with crystal light. I'm relatively good at things like jadeite and black jade, but I'm not very familiar with this kind of white jade.

Relatively speaking, white jade is more like an ordinary stone. Its material contains more miscellaneous stones, and its value cannot be compared with that of jade.

But white jade is expensive because of its large material, and it can complete many large-scale carving tasks. In ancient times, this aspect was incomparable to ordinary jade.

In other words, if you go forward seven or eight hundred years, if you find a jadeite stone building that is as tall as a person, it will definitely make your country extremely wealthy.

Ordinary white jade carvings are carved on the handrails, but there is no such process outside the main hall gate. The wide stone steps under your feet are like a giant's ladder. You can't see the head on the left and right. The stone door of the main hall in front is on the stone steps. Central location.

This layout is very unreasonable, but it is very beautiful. It has the potential to climb into the sea and swallow up mountains and rivers. It was as if hundreds of thousands of soldiers could surge out of the main hall at any time and line up on this endless long ladder, and they would never be full.

There was something wrong with the fat man's legs. It was a bit difficult to climb the stone steps. Every step he took was one foot deep and one foot shallow. He had a strong personality and refused to let us help him, so he climbed up very slowly. Fortunately, with our patient waiting, the three of us finally arrived at the stone gate of the main hall.

Before the fat man could take a deep breath, he heard the sound of rattling iron ropes coming from inside the stone door. I thought to myself that I didn't hear any sound when I climbed the stone steps. Maybe this huge stone door has sound insulation effect.

When I listened carefully, I felt something was wrong again. It seemed like there was some mechanism operating underground!

I lay on the ground with my ears pressed against the ground, and my brows furrowed as the clicking sounds kept coming from below.

It was indeed the noise coming from below, but the bad thing was that we didn't hear it before we climbed up the white jade stone steps.

In other words, it is very likely that when we stepped on the steps, something else was triggered unknowingly.

Grandma, you hold the stick when someone holds a gun, you pick up the pellets when someone eats, you eat the thorns when someone eats fish, and you smell when someone poops!

How come everything is so unlucky!

The annoyance in my heart at that time is still fresh in my memory. The two teammates around me were eagerly looking for the truth, but they could not find any clues about Longquan longevity water.

Sartre was hiding in the darkness ahead, and he didn't know what he was going to do. Behind us are swarms of poisonous birds and poisonous insects waiting for us. Even in the waterway, inexplicable monsters appeared.

Now at this point, there is no retreat. We still have to continue looking for the tomb of King Jing.

I stood up again, dusted my hands repeatedly, and said to them: "If the Dragon King sneezes, it will rain even if it doesn't rain! There is no way out now. There is a way to survive in front of me, and I have all my tricks." To put the highlights, let me make a statement first, if something happens to both of you, I will never live alone!"

When exploring ancient tombs, morale is particularly important.

As the saying goes, in fighting a tiger, brothers are brothers, and father and son are soldiers in battle.

If several people are not of the same mind when facing the danger ahead, some want to deal with it, some want to escape, some are willing to die, and some are submissive, then it will be like pulling lime and encountering heavy rain - a serious matter.

Words are the ax that can open a mountain; it cannot be established without breaking. With the preparation to break the boat, people will also reach their greatest potential.

Each of the three people stretched out a hand and stacked it together. The three pairs of eyes gave each other confidence. This was a silent contract, which meant that from this moment on, the lives of the three brothers were tied together.

At the end of this silent ceremony, the spirits of the three people were lifted. The fat man was most moved and suggested that everyone take off their pants and wear one together.

I told the fat man to go away. If he had any wisecracks, it would be best to tell him after he found the tomb of King Jing Longquan. Then I let him speak openly.

After saying that, the three of us grabbed hold of the opening of the stone door. The stone door of the main hall was several meters high. We were like ants carrying leaves, carefully spying on the road ahead.

We all turned off the flashlights. Long Wu had the ability of night vision. This time he took the lead in searching for traces of Satre.

When we officially entered the main hall, the first thing we heard was the sound of water, like a faucet that was not turned off, and there were still small water jets hitting the washbasin. Although the sound is not ear-piercing, it cannot be ignored.

In the darkness, I felt that the front was extremely empty, as if we were three little mice who had unintentionally got into the rice vat. However, the rice vat was empty and oiled. As long as we entered, we could not get out.

Long Wu described to us in a low voice that there was nothing in front except a dozen huge pillars. At the end of the pillars was the kind of white jade stone steps, but much shorter.

The white jade stone steps wind upwards and turn a corner. There is an arc that cannot be seen clearly further forward. However, he can be sure that the main hall is also divided into several floors, and we have just entered the first floor.

I was a little surprised after hearing this. The main hall should be lined with stone statues of all ministers prostrating themselves first, and the surrounding walls should be painted with paintings of the emperor's great achievements in his life. Finally, there should be the coffin placed.

But according to Long Wu's description, the front seems to be built in the style of a Western-style villa, with buildings within buildings, stacked upward. And there is nothing of value placed on this first floor.

I couldn't help but want to turn on the light and take a closer look to see what was going on.

but. To be on the safe side, I suggested climbing up to the nearest pillar first. The pillar was made of very hard material and had a faint yellow light. The trouble is with plants such as nanmu. Such a large nanmu is used as a pillar, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.

The fat man took out three foot buckles and the three of them put them on their feet. This is a curved iron tool commonly used by electricians to climb utility poles.

With the ankle buckles, the three of us simply became sloths.

The higher you climb, the clearer you can hear the sound of water. It seems that the main hall really has a spiraling floor. This is unique among the ancient tombs of imperial tombs. If you take two photos at this time, no matter who takes the photos No matter how ugly the technology is, it is enough to shock the archaeological community at home and abroad.
