Chapter 61 The Temple of Styx
I used the “wolf eyes” to take a close look at the stone wall at the end of the cave, and the left side of the cave is different, this place is being dug upward along the stone wall, it seems to be trapped in the cave by the stone wall, there is no way out of the situation chose the most difficult way.
Fishbone Temple cave is in the ravine, tilted downward, strung across the hills and hills in the natural cave, if you dig a vertical shaft from the cave upward to escape, the straight line distance is the longest, the amount of work is also the largest, and this piece of the mountain by the erosion of nature, the mountain within the body of the thousand holes, it is easy to collapse, not as a last resort, will not be out of this strategy.
I looked up and looked up, but only looked at a glance, will be completely dead, less than a dozen meters above the place, was also sealed by the boulders, these out of thin air out of the large stone slabs, simply like a huge stone coffins, the perimeter of the package a tight, trapped in the inside is simply no way out of the sky, into the ground without a door.
Seeing no way out, I had to return to the fork of the cave, the situation on the big gold teeth and fat man told, fat man and I have been in danger for a long time, although the situation is bizarre, we did not feel too nervous.
Dajinya see we did not panic, but also relatively calm down, mankind is a strange animal, panic is the fastest spreading virus in the crowd, but as long as the majority of people remain calm, it is the same as the establishment of a firewall to prevent the spread of panic.
Excessive panic will affect the accuracy of judgment, this time the most afraid of is to scare themselves, in my experience, we can not figure out how that weird stone wall is coming out, as long as we can find a little clue, we can find the exit, will not be trapped alive in this.
The big gold tooth blames himself and said: “Alas, all blame me for hunting too heavy heart, have to come in with the two of you, if I stay on top of the wind, or there is a reception outside, now we three are trapped in this room, but how is it good.”
I comforted him, “Master Jin you don’t have to be too nervous, now is not to the point of exhaustion, besides even if you stay outside, also can’t help, that big stone plate is afraid of a thousand pounds, unless with zha medicine, otherwise don’t want to open.”
Dajinya see me calm and collected, then asked: “Hu master so relaxed, is not there to get out of the plan? Why don’t you tell us, so that I can also feel at ease, truth be told, I’m so scared right now that I’m about to pee my pants, so I’m just holding on.”
I laughed to myself: “What the fuck what to get out of the plan, take one step to see one step, if God really want to collect us, in the Yellow River on the collection, where to wait until now, I think we should not be killed, will be able to find a way to get out of the way.”
Fatty said, “I’d rather fall in the Yellow River and get dunked in yellow soup than suffocate in a hole like a rat.”
I said to Fatty and Dajinya: “Don’t panic, these four robber holes, three of them are blocked, there is another one that should lead to the Tang Dynasty Tomb’s Underworld Hall, in addition to looking at the surrounding situation, the gold digger who built the Fish Bone Temple to fight the robber holes must have also entered the Underworld Hall and came back to be trapped, we haven’t seen his bones yet, maybe he has already been in some other place to find a way out, exactly how, we still have to find a way out. Out, in the end how, still have to go into the Underworld Hall to see before we know.”
Fatty big gold teeth two people heard my words, all said yes, this cave there is a long distance to the temple of the underworld, things should not be delayed, into the tomb of the temple of the underworld to see what to say.
At that moment, it is still the fat man holding two geese to play the head, I and the big gold teeth in the back, drilled into the front of the cave, I crawled in the hole while cursing in the heart: “Damn, we are unlucky today on the bad luck of this cave, originally thought it was a couple of decades ago to touch the gold masters trip out of the road, it must be foolproof, which thought of a cave but there are a lot of ghosts in the name of this, too his mother to big this time. Motherfucking great, this time if you can still go out, must be a long memory, can no longer be so reckless.”
In fact, doing things impulsively, is a major shortcoming in my character, I know myself well but I can’t change it, this kind of character is only suitable for me to be a subordinate officer in the army, is really not suitable for doing the golden lieutenant, the tomb in the danger is abnormal, there are a lot of things that can’t be imagined, almost every place there is a danger that may exist, “prudence” should be the most indispensable bottom line of the golden touch Cautiousness should be the most indispensable bottom line of the profession.
I suddenly thought, if Shirley Yang is here, she will not let us be so adventurous, all drilling into the robber hole, but unfortunately she is a rich person, this life can not be guilty of drilling in the robber hole with rats. I do not know how she is now in the United States, Professor Chen’s mental illness has not been cured.
Just as I was rambling, Fatty called out from the front, “Old Hu, this is going through the cave.”
I heard the dripping sound in my ears, hurriedly climbed to the front, see the fat man has drilled out of the robber hole, I also followed to drill out, with the wolf eye a sweep, see the landing place is a large pile of broken soil, may be the former people digging two sides of the robber hole when the hit out of the soil.
At this time, Dajinya also followed the drill out, we look around, and found that this is in the mountain inside a narrow hole inside, not a cave, water drop sound along the cave from the distance, it seems to be the legendary Dragon Ridge Cave over there.
The cave passed through this narrow cave and extended at the exact same angle as before on the opposite side, Dajinya pointed at the direction of the sound of water dripping and said: “Listen, isn’t there a big cave over there? Why did that person who built the Fishbone Temple not want to find a way out of the cave, but went to such great lengths to dig a hole?”
I said to Dajinya: “People in this neighborhood call those caves labyrinths, in which they can’t even figure out the direction, how can they easily find their way out, but since we haven’t seen that senior’s remains, maybe he saw no hope of getting out of the robber’s cave, so he walked into the maze, and if that’s the case it is hard to say whether or not he can get out.”
Fatty said: “What do you care about him so much, this cave is not yet drilled to the head, I think we are still first into the Underworld Hall to explore, if there is really no road and then consider going from this side.”
I said: “You are drunkenness is not wine ah, never seen you so positive and active, you must be thinking of going to the temple of the underworld to touch the treasure, but how can you not understand, if we can not get out of, to be those treasures what is the use.”
Fatty said: “I’m using a strategic vision of the problem, you think ah, can not go out, now we do not know, but the Tomb of the Underworld in the Hall of artifacts, it is obvious things, we care about him can not go out, the first touched the artifacts, put in your pocket, and then think of ways to go out, if you can go out that would be hairy, if you can not go out then, put in the valuable artifacts died, or better than the death or poor. dying or a pauper.”
I waved my hand to interrupt the fat man’s words: “Okay, stop, I said a word to recruit you this a lot of words to save some energy to think of ways to get out of the trap, okay? Let’s just do what you said and enter the Underworld Hall first.”
Fatty drove the two big white geese into the hole, want to drill in, I hastily pulled him to stop, let him and the big gold teeth are wearing a simple anti-virus mask, pay attention to the movement of the two geese at any time, the front of a section of the cave and the leakage in the mountains connected to the area, and seems to have a cavern in the distance, so the quality of the air is not a problem, but the last section of the cave, is the same as the tomb of the Underworld Hall, I estimate that there is a section of the final upward road from the Underworld Hall of the lower side Going up, if there is only such an exit in the ancient tomb, then the air stagnation time will far exceed the time for air exchange, and precautions must be taken.
We put on anti-virus masks, soaked the towel with water from the kettle and put it around our necks, Dajinya also gave Fatty a jade piece of Guanyin Daishi, and I gave Dajinya a paratrooper’s knife for defense.
Three people a little preparation, they have drilled into the second section of the cave, this section of the cave is extremely short, crawling forward more than fifty meters, then turned upward, and more than ten meters, really through a piece of green brick.
Tang tomb brick has three or four palms of thin thickness, are paved with the bottom of the tomb brick, with a shovel iron brazier can be opened, this kind of tomb brick of paved in the bottom of the Hall of the Underworld, the rest of the ground and the four walls, are fixed with iron bars of the boulder, the gap at the filling with iron paste seal, all are impermeable, only the Hall of the Underworld in the middle of the small piece of the place is a little bit weak weak false position.
Later from the Yuan Dynasty, this leave “virtual place” to hide the form of wind has been greatly changed, is because this place is easy to break through, but leave “virtual place” of the tradition of the Qing Dynasty is still retained, just change the very small, the size of only a few inches, can not enter the people.
However, on the whole, the degree of solidity of the Tang tomb, as well as the degree of luxury in the history of China is still counted, envied the following are several huge stone doors, deep in the mountains, surrounded by a thick stone wall, that is not solid as a golden soup can be described.
Tang tomb above the virtual position, there are one or several organs, this kind of mechanism is hidden in the tomb bricks in the temple, once broken the virtual position of the tomb bricks will trigger the mechanism, according to the arrangement of the Tang tomb, there are quicksand, nest offspring, stone piles and so on, and may fall down the flip board, the temple completely sealed, rather than break the virtual position of the hidden wind and gas, but also refused to accompany the buried artifacts cheaper to the tomb robbers.
Before us, this organ had already been broken by the advanced gold touchers, so we saved ourselves a lot of trouble and didn’t have to bother more about those organs.
Fatty put the two big white geese into the head of the thief hole, let them try the air quality in the temple of the underworld, we crouch in the thief hole waiting, I kept thinking about blocking the stone wall around the thief hole, it is just suddenly appeared in the air, never heard of such a powerful mechanism, is it a ghost masonry wall? But the legendary ghost wall is never like this, what is so strange in this ancient tomb? Who is the owner of the tomb? Did the senior who touched the gold escape?
At this time, the fat man pulled back the two big white geese, see nothing unusual, the side pulled me a hand, the three drilled out of the robber’s hole, came to the temple of the underworld, this ancient tomb of the underworld of the temple size is not small, full of two hundred square meters, we use the wolf’s-eye illumination, look around, can not help but open the door and asked: “the temple of the underworld …… How no coffin?”
