Chapter 86 White Bones
“Partridge Whistle” quick response, in the shaft suddenly saw a gold-armored warrior holding a large axe to split himself, immediately shouted, his body popped backward, stuck to the stone wall behind him, at the same time open the golden steel umbrella to protect his head and face, twenty rounds of the mirror box was also drawn out from his waist, the gun body forward, using the umbrella’s left hand to rub open the nose. The nose of the machine, put out a posture of both offense and defense, with the muzzle of the gun aimed at the opposite side of the gold armor warrior.
“Partridge Whistle” why just now to scream, because the external kung fu to a certain degree, if you do intense action, you will have no choice but to make a special sound from the mouth, which is related to the human body’s respiration, if you do not shout out, it is easy to suffer from internal injuries, not because of the fear of shouting.
But “partridge whistle” roar this voice does not matter, the priest Thomas has not climbed down the ladder scared, feet slip, fell from the ladder.
“Partridge Whistle” listen to the sound of the wind on the head, know that someone fell down, hastily raised the golden steel umbrella, the American priest fell down to support a good distance is not too high, Father Thomas by the golden steel umbrella arc-shaped umbrella top belt, only to fall to the ground, although the fall of the waist and legs pain, but not a great deal of trouble.
At the same time, “partridge whistle” also through the blue phosphorescence, see clearly that hand holding a big axe of gold armor warrior, it turned out to be a false alarm, that warrior is painted on the stone wall of the secluded evil paintings, but this painting is really too realistic, the color is bright and colorful, the warrior body and the normals similar to the face of the fierce, the beard and eyebrows Zhang, wearing a golden armor! Head wearing a gold helmet, formidable, and the artist’s craftsmanship is exquisite to the extreme, the golden armor warrior’s movements are full of tension, although it is static to avoid painting, painting the kind of prana of the strong desire to come out, cold eyes, really seems to be like at any time will be from the painting rushed out of the wall.
At this time the dust elder also climbed down from the shaft, looked at the warrior mural also even said great, dust elder and “partridge whistle” two people, carefully look at the mural on the warrior’s characteristics, can be concluded that the gold armor general is a member of the Qin generals of the year, named “urn zhong “, the courage of the gods, legend has it that even the gods and ghosts are afraid of him, starting in the Tang Dynasty, large-scale aristocratic tombs, the first wall of the tomb are “Wengzhong” general’s portrait, like the role of the god of the door, guarding the safety of the tomb.
But this kind of exposure in the main body of the mausoleum outermost colorful portrait, it is easy to be subjected to the air of the peeling corrosion, the years long, a see the air in the color of the painting will evaporate, and “partridge whistle” and other grave robbers, most of the time from the bottom of the tomb or the side of the bucket into the tomb, will rarely pass through the front tomb door, so the legend of the tomb for the generals! “Urn Zhong” had only heard of it, but today was the first time to see it, so he couldn’t help but take a look at it a few more times.
“Partridge Whistle” said to Elder Dust: “Master, this Western Xia people’s tomb is really by the far-reaching influence of the Chinese culture, even the ancient Qin generals are copied over, it seems that the wall painted with the tomb guarding generals, should be the stone door of the tomb under the Tongtian Buddha Temple, the position we are now in is the Xuanmen. is the Xuan Gate now.”
Elder Dust lifted the horse lamp, looked at the stone wall painted with “Weng Zhong”, nodded and said: “There are nine horizontal and seven vertical door nails on the wall, it is indeed a tomb door …… ” Elder Dust’s words did not fall, only to see that the golden door on the stone door, the door of the tomb, the door of the tomb. Only see that stone door on the golden armor wengzhong flashed two flashes, so disappeared.
Father Thomas into this gloomy horrible tunnel, is from the nervous tension, suddenly saw in the light of the horse lamp, the wall of gold armor warriors suddenly in the eyes of the disappearance, greatly shocked, and again and again in the chest cross.
Elder Duchen said to Father Tomas, “The foreign monks do not need to be alarmed, the air here gradually circulates, those paintings on the oil color are evaporated, not a ghost.”
Father Tomas was shocked, only felt that this place is full of mysterious and weird atmosphere, even the all-knowing God probably does not know what the world behind this stone door is like, today by these two Chinese hard to bring in, can be really unlucky, maybe this underground world is leading to Satan’s territory, or there are some werewolves, vampires, zombies and the like, although Tomas is a priest, and faith firmly, but always can not change the way. Although Thomas is a priest, and firm faith, but can never change the face of darkness when the feeling of fear, his heart also often blame themselves, that probably or their own faith is not solid, today’s encounter may be God’s own trial, must find ways to overcome their fear of the darkness, however, this innate psychology is very difficult to overcome in a short period of time.
“Partridge Whistle” did not have time to pay attention to the complex mood of the American priest at the moment, carefully check the tomb door, know that this is a quicksand door, the design principle of this tomb door is very clever, behind the door there is a large amount of sand, after the burial of the tomb owner, from the outside, close the stone door, there is a track under the stone door, the stone door is closed, drive the door behind the mechanism, there will be a large amount of sand, the door will be closed. Mechanism, there will be a large amount of sand outflow, automatically backfill the door behind the tomb, with the power of the sand to the top of the stone door, the entire tomb is also filled with quicksand, so that in the backfilling of the tomb at the same time, but also to the tomb door to add a road insurance, the stone door, although not thick, but no longer possible to push open from the outside.
But then “partridge whistle” and the dust elder found a small detail, this detail is easy to be ignored, is the gap under the stone door, there is no loose leakage of sand, because the door no matter how clever and precise, the door to leave a slide, so there must be a little gap, quicksand door closed, there will always be a small amount of fine sand In the gap is squeezed out.
This no fine sand situation, it is obvious that the door behind the quicksand mechanism is not activated, if the dead are buried in accordance with the situation, this is a bit incredible, but the tomb is not buried, it is full of Xixia Palace of exotic treasures, Xixia people are ready to come back to the country, but also take these things out, so can not be completely sealed the tomb door.
This saves a lot of hand and foot, do not have to hit the robber hole in, directly push open the stone door can be from the tomb into the treasure hole, “partridge whistle” with the dust elder and the United States priests, three people, together force to push the door.
The door is not sealed, and behind the door of the quicksand mechanism was artificially closed, although the stone door is heavy, but the stone door is not the kind of imperial tombs in the thousands of kilograms of huge door, is only a layer of barrier in the tomb of the aristocrats in the tomb of the mouth, but only a few hundred pounds of force, the three have not yet exerted all their strength, will be the stone door pushed open a gap, and its narrowness can be accommodated for one person to go in and out of the door.
“Partridge whistle” holding a golden steel umbrella when advanced into the door, and then shot a fire spirit, a flash of fire, the whole tomb road to see a clear, between the two sides of the sand pool is not loaded with sand, which is empty, the tomb road on the ground of the tomb bricks paved flat and neat, “partridge whistle “Partridge Whistle” knows that the more the tomb is so flat and orderly, the more hidden crisis, there may be hidden arrows, flying daggers, poisonous smoke, a kind of mechanism ambush.
Dachen also told “Partridge Whistle” to be doubly vigilant, quicksand door is not sealed, may be because of the Western Xia people in a hurry to run for their lives, in a hurry, have no time to take care of, anyway, the Buddha Temple has been deteriorated by the natural environment swallowed up, the ground has no markings, people do not know exactly how to find it, or it may be a trap, so that the entry of the Xuanmen Tomb robbers have a slack mood, as the saying goes, Xuanmen good into the Xuan Road, some Xuanmen although thick and huge, behind the stone ball quicksand blocking, but those are stupid work, as long as there is enough external intervention, can be opened, the real organs of the dark weapons first and then in the crypt, followed by the tomb road, both of which is the location of the tomb robbers must pass through.
“Partridge whistle” is naturally not dare to be careless, after all, never entered the Western Xia people’s tombs, condensed Jing Qi, stepping on the tomb bricks forward, the length of the tomb road is about twenty-three feet, the end of the end of a gate.
This door near the situation is unusual, the door and high and wide, caused like a city gate like a round arch, occupies the entire cross-section of the tomb, the door as a whole is carved from white jade, without any pattern, above the carving of a lot of Xixia text, “Partridge Whistle” and others do not recognize the meaning of these words, but presumed that it should be some kind of Buddhism Scripture, the jade door across a copper beam, hanging in the center of a huge lock, there is no key, behind the door must be as a treasure cave of the chamber.
Strangely enough, the front of the jade door on both sides, each has a very deep arch-shaped round hole, looks very deep, “Partridge Whistle”, including the Dust Elder has never seen this form of cave in the tomb, but it is clear that these two are exactly the same size, symmetrically repaired in the two sides of the round hole is man-made, very solid masonry, the four walls of the stone slabs smooth as a mirror, the height and width are all the same, and the four walls of the stone slabs are as wide as a mirror. Like a mirror, the height and width are ten feet or so, not in a hurry, it should be the original design of the whole mausoleum when it was pre-designed, and the mausoleum is a whole.
With the dust elder’s experience judgment, this may be the road organs, with “partridge whistle” analyzed, “partridge whistle” to the dust elder said: “jade door on the copper lock, disciple will be good at dismantling the lock, I’m afraid that once the copper lock is destroyed, will trigger the ambush organs I’m afraid that once the lock is broken, it will lead to an ambush. ……”
Dust Elder waved his hand and said: “I think this lock can not be opened, the jade door on the installation of a copper lock, can not avoid the suspicion of adding to the snake, can enter the tomb before the person, and how will be this area of a copper lock stop, the legend of the Northern Song Dynasty has a chain of core locks, you and look at the body of this lock with the jade door is connected together, a move of the lock will surely have a toxic smoke and so on, such as the start of the organs. ”
“Partridge Whistle” did not dare to move the lock body, carefully and repeatedly looked, and indeed the copper lock and the jade door on the copper beams as one, not to mention open the lock, a touch of the lock will trigger some kind of mechanism, was shot in front of the door, “Partridge Whistle” see here can not help but straight cold sweat, they have always been careful, today I do not know why. I have always been careful, today I do not know why anxious like fire, if it is not the dust Elder recognize the mechanism, at this moment has long been dead on the ground.
Dust elders have seen the end of the problem, “partridge whistle” said: “it seems that the jade door is a front, do not look at the material so exquisite, but is a false door, absolutely can not break the door to enter, both sides of the arched holes must also have organs, this Western Xia tomb is not large, but the layout of the strange, if you want to enter the chamber Only from the bottom of the tomb road into the, Western Xia people again how quirky, also can not get out of the feng shui five elements yin and yang theory of the influence of the theory of this tomb road is only the use of the four doors and four phases, according to the cat and the tiger, our head and feet on the stone plate is certainly active, can be from the bottom of the tomb into the chamber, if not expected, should be the only entrance.”
“Partridge whistle” in accordance with the dust elder’s instructions, the tomb passage under the tomb brick one piece of Kai down, really reveals a good big hole, straight through the jade door after the chamber, this Western Xia people’s carving small skills, really quite not the dust elder this old Yuanliang’s eyes.
Still by the “partridge whistle” holding the golden steel umbrella in the front to explore the way, the three from the tunnel into the chamber, the tunnel hangs a huge black stone, like a black beehive, “partridge whistle” and the dust of the elders do not know what that is, through the phosphorescent tube look at it! The “Partridge Whistle” and Elder Dust don’t know what it is, through the phosphorescent tube to see, like stone like jade, don’t know what it is, they think it’s better not to touch it, from the side of the slowly rubbed over.
Into the chamber feel bright, six feet wide in the chamber of the pearl, piled into a mountain of various treasures, in the blue light of the phosphorus tube appears to be different colorful dazzle, which is the most conspicuous, is in the middle of a plant embedded with a variety of gemstones of the coral tree, the Palace of the secret treasures within the Palace, really is not commonplace, and countless other scriptures, books, boxes of all sizes, the Western Xia Palace of that point of the good things may be in this.
American priest Thomas look at the two eyes are straight, with the dust Elder to discuss, can take out one or two, just one thing can be outside to build a few church school, to the wandering children to find a meal to go to school to believe in the place.
Dust Elder said to the American priest: “such a good deed why not, but these things are national treasures, can not be alarmed, before I became a monk also have some family assets, if you want to build a school, I can help, anyway, the monk four empty, keep those yellow and white things are useless.”
“Partridge whistle” only on the “dust beads” hanging heart, other exotic treasures although exquisite, in his eyes only as grass tie paper mache general, stepping on the ground jewels forward a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned his head to the back of the dust Elder said: “Oh no, there is a dead man in this treasure cave.”
Before judging the empty tomb will not have a dead person, suddenly heard the “partridge whistle” said so, the dust elders also ate a shock, quickly rushed to the front to watch, only to see the corner of the chamber there is a white skeleton, the skeleton is much taller than normal people, white bones in the hands of the string of keys, behind the set of a black hand Buddha, non-stone non-jade, phosphorescent tube lighting In the above, there is no light, and the front of the white bone, but also looks black and white, chilling.
The dust elder saw this situation, the heart sank: “big deal is not good, tonight the moon meets the big break, the bodhisattva closed his eyes, all the magic weapon will lose its effect, if this Western Xia treasure hole has a shadowy soul has not been dispersed, I and so on dead without a burial place, even more strange, here how there will be a thousand hands and thousands of eyes …… of the black buddha? “
