Chapter 47: Emergency Exit

Above the “Cannon God Temple”, a “landing blossom cannon” in the temple continue to explode, nitrate and sulfur earth debris flying, the old and rotten wood in the chamber by the impact, one after another broken open, a time brick and wood collapsed, I was in a heavy smoke and dust tumbled to the ground, felt that the chamber will be completely destroyed at any time. I tumbled to the ground in a thick cloud of smoke and dust, feeling that the chamber would completely collapse at any time, how could I get up, rolling in the confusion to touch the door of the tomb, bumping into the companion can not tell which one, can only desperately push him to the outside.

Panic in the less than detailed identification, just see that the wooden coffin outside the outer chamber, seems to be a long and narrow tunnel covered with bricks, I rushed out, head full of brick mud and dirt, look at the side of the people are also in, only the fat man’s head was hit by a stake, although with a mountaineering helmet, can still be the face of a slash, and he didn’t care, piao hoo hoo haphazardly wiped a hand, can’t tell whether it is mud or blood, didn’t wait for me to check the other people’s situation. And then go to check the other people’s situation, the back of the coffin has been broken wood and soil completely buried, slow half a step will have to be smothered alive in the inside, in the crowd of shocked and still unsettled at the time, suddenly saw the darkness of the far end of the tomb, lit up a cluster of ghostly fire like a bleak light, reflecting the face of the people green.

Brick tomb tiles are engraved with the name of the craftsman, the name of the kiln out of the brick, as well as “four gengchen”, this is the old saying, according to the current saying is “the year, month, day, hour”, should be all the things of the Ming Dynasty, the whole tomb is narrow, long and narrow, the two ends of the road are not see the end. We just came out of the coffin room of the collapsed stake, not yet stood firmly, we saw the end of the tomb road lit up a weak ghost fire.

The head of the fire is not much bigger than the flame of a lit match, probably contains phosphorus powder in the combustion material, the light is dark green color, like a row of candles lit up, but the fluorescent green light is bleak and bleak, we are about twenty meters away, has exceeded the “tactical spotlight” lighting vision.

Followed by a burst of wooden teeth bite strange movement, but I do not know what is strange, Shirley Yang then folded a fluorescent tube, to the far end of the tomb thrown over, the darkness suddenly fluorescent green light bloomed, this time finally see a clear.

It turns out that the end of the tomb road from narrow to wide, out of a doorway to, in the middle of the two flash full of copper nails copper ring stone arch “tomb door”, the size and shape of the earth is no different from the stone door in front of the dripping water under the eaves of the exploration of the six wooden dragons, the dragon’s eyes flashing like candles, it may be that we suddenly broke into this place, in the chaos of the unintentionally triggered can be what the mechanism, making the wooden dragon The scales hidden in the eye sockets burned up.

Our five people, in addition to the fat man, most can guess the origin of this thing, just listen to the wooden dragon in the mechanism, coupled with the dragon’s head inside the phosphorus fire burning, know that in all likelihood is extremely sharp rocket pin “a nest of bees”.

That “a nest of bees” is the Ming dynasty army in the battlefield to control the enemy’s sharp weapon, the shape of the “God Crow, fire dragon” of the shape of the overall shape is a long wooden box, the use of gunpowder or machine spring launching, shooting like a swarm of bees out of the hive, so the name “a nest of bees”, sometimes the wooden dragon in the machine bracket movement, plus the dragon head inside the phosphorus fire burning, I know in all probability is extremely sharp rocket pin “a nest of bees”. A nest of bees”, sometimes the arrow with fire or poisoned, so that the killing range and power becomes greater, and later also used to guard against grave robbers, the most insidious way is to install a few “a nest of bees” inside the coffin of a crossbow, open the coffin if the person does not take precautions, and immediately killed on the spot. Hidden in such a narrow tunnel, it is even more defensible.

From Shirley Yang threw out the fluorescent tube to illuminate the door of the tomb, and then we saw the wooden box under the eaves of the dragon head, only in a split second, that several “a nest of bees” hidden rockets, has been shot out, which does not allow people to have a margin for thought and reaction, only to see the wooden dragon’s dragon mouth of the flames suddenly rise, the tomb tunnel “Flying fireflies” like a piece of shining, hundreds of chaotic arrows just like “swarm of bees out of the nest” general pouncing on the face.

Countless rockets in the long and narrow tunnel of the tomb shot to fly, the sound is particularly amazing, “woo-woo” whistling, listen to people’s brains are tightened a tight, thanks to Shirley Yang eyes and hands fast, “Golden Steel umbrella” a jittery occasion has been open, covered in the back of the crowd, the flying locust-like chaotic arrows as much as possible. The Golden Steel Umbrella can withstand the “Golden Steel Umbrella”.

Golden steel umbrella can withstand “water and fire, poison, knife and gun”, “a swarm of bees” of rockets, although the momentum is strong and fast, and arrows burning, but can not help this golden steel umbrella. Only the tomb is very narrow, if from the tomb near the door, a handle of gold steel umbrella is difficult to protect all the five people lined up, the people had to keep retreating to the other end of the tomb.

The “nest box rocket” construction is simple, and easy to conceal the camouflage, is used in the mausoleum to assassinate the tomb robbers of the common “pin”, but also a relatively stupid method, offspring arrows, although powerful, but can be covered up and blocked, and the most critical is the box of vectors is limited, and after all, it is ignorance! No knowledge of dead things, experienced grave robbers in the discovery of the “dark arrow”, can be triggered by constantly, so that the machine is pinned spring exhaustion.

But this tomb passage hidden set of “wooden dragon arrow box” seems endless, arrows out like rain, never see the momentum weakened, by the golden steel umbrella to block down the arrows, in the ground burning endlessly, we keep retreating to the distance, leaving behind the arrows all over the ground, as in the tomb passage laying a layer of dry firewood, half of the tomb passage are lit up.

Our back team into the front team, exit dozens of paces away, look to leave the scope of the rocket shooting, people can not help but secretly thankful, if both ends of the tomb passage are hidden “a nest of bees” and other rockets with offspring machine, the formation of the front and back of the attack, we are not inevitably shot into the “hedgehog”. We are all going to be shot into “hedgehogs” now.

But at this time, just listen to the retreat at the end of the darkness, issued a dull roar sound, like “gold and wood, thunder rolling”, but also like there is what the beast in the “huffing and puffing” gasping for air, I said: “trouble! Big, this is really a person to be bad luck, even fucking drink a mouth of cold water are stuffed teeth.”

I have not waited for me to throw out the lighting to see what is hidden in front of me, I heard the “rumbling” sound in the tomb, from our position closer and closer, in a flash in front of us, in a few spotlights and flashlights in the light, only to see from the black out of the emergence of a large white cow, head round body square, strong and unusual, alone The cow’s head, will be enough to have “Ba Dou” the size of the head of the two horns flashing cold, sharp sharp not to let the “halberd”, the cow’s eyes two eyes open, staring straight ahead, but neither gas, and no color, only heard the cow in the belly of the machine” Cackling” sound, is actually a pin for moving the wooden cow.

This long and narrow brick tunnel is full of organs, every step is a trap to death, see the wooden ox rushed to the people are issued a cry of alarm.

Now this narrow and depressing tomb road, width is only less than two meters, there is no any can allow people to flash and move room, and that the wooden cow heavy and solid, listen to the sound is through the collapse of the spring ejector, the impact of the force of the boom extraordinary, gold and steel Luohan also have to teach it to knock over the past, not to mention the cow horns on the cold awns appear, I’m afraid that touch on the spot will have to be picked up by the belly broken intestine, death.

At this time a strong wind in the face, the wooden cow in the twinkling of an eye has rushed to the front, there is a person in a hurry to fight for their lives, I grabbed the fat man dragged by the “Guan Gong Knife”, the two shouted in unison, the pressure of the knife, the head of the knife, dozens of kilograms of Green Dragon Crescent Knife flipped a, hard to smash in the head of a wooden cow, and fiercely listen to the “snap”! “A sound, even the wooden ox cart broken in front of the body.

The head of the cow cast with copper cover iron horn, shocked me and fat man hands rupture, both arms are numb, I looked down at the “Guan Gong” knife split the wooden cow, only to see the cow’s belly hidden a few leather bags, from which a wisp of yellow smoke, thick as if it can not be melted open, I called bad, greeted the other four people quickly wear gas masks.

The people busy BingZhou breathing, hurriedly will gas mask cover on the face, without a moment, thick yellow smoke has spread out, the tomb of those burning arrow flame, was rising poisonous smoke pressure, suddenly dim out, the fire head is extinguished, the doorway at the wooden dragon offspring box also immediately stopped.

I see this tomb in the things are from the Ming Dynasty, in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, buried women’s graves, there will be “copper cattle, wooden cattle” appeared, and men’s graves are more “rhinoceros”, just rushed out of this wooden cattle, not only has a copper cover and iron horns can be hurt, and cattle belly hidden toxic smoke The wooden ox just crashed out, not only has copper cover and iron horns that can hurt people, but also has poisonous smoke hidden in its belly. If the grave robbers avoid its impact, the wooden ox will crash into the door of the tomb, so that the poisonous smoke hidden in its body will kick in, which can also cause people to die, which is a chain of killings, and teaches people to take advantage of the situation.

Tomb Road in the thick yellow fog cohesion does not dissipate, coupled with the eyes across the gas mask, almost to the lowest point of human vision, before and after the left and right situation has been unrecognizable, in order to get out as soon as possible, the five of us had to be close to each other, touched the stone wall in the tomb, in the fog step by step forward save line.

I just walked in the direction of the emergence of the wooden ox organ not a few steps, suddenly found that the distant part of the tomb vaguely vibration, seems to have “rolling stone” or “jackhammer” a kind of heavy organs fall, this kind of machine is the use of a huge “stone ball, stone hammer “and other things, has been grave robbers cave open the hole of the tomb for two this blocking, in the bucket line called it “broken bones pile”, the living was crushed into which, on the spot can become pulp.

I secretly screamed bitter, quickly turned around, even patted the shoulders of the rest of the several people, let them quickly turn around and run back, run to the arch of the tomb door can still fight for a ray of hope.

The people also noticed a strange movement in front of the tomb, beware of the back team into the front team, turn around and go back to the road, the good thing is that the terrain is more familiar with, no need to step by step groping for action, just the ground more scattered arrows and wooden boards, some people run out of a few steps on the tripped, at this time can not distinguish the front who fell down, Fatty and I arrived at the back, will be the man dragged up from the ground to escape, the vibration of the tomb behind us The vibration in the tomb passage behind us is getting more and more intense, and the oppressive feeling of death is like a big deadline, and I just hate that my parents had two less legs.

In the smoke ran to the front of the tomb door, see two tomb door hanging between the copper locks, do not care to think about the inside of the chamber will have what condition, directly with the Guan Gong knife cut down the lock, the crowd together with the force of the top of the stone door, at the same time as the tomb door opened, the tomb in the road of the rolling of a jack stone mill has also been rushed to the.

Tomb road on the ground of the chaotic arrows and wooden oxen were crushed into pieces, the situation at this time, I see that the tomb door has just been pushed open a gap, can enter the people, will be pushing the stone door of the companions pushed one by one, they also follow the flash into the inside, the huge stone mill then crashed into the tomb door above, vibration of all the four walls are trembling, to the way completely blocked.

Fortunately, no one fell in the chaos, all fled into the chamber, my whole body blood churning, ambushed in the chamber to gasp a few breaths, because the chamber has been part of the inflow of toxic fumes, so I did not dare to take off the gas mask, raised his head to look around, to see the darkness of the chamber of the sparse smoke wafting, the entire Ming Dynasty chamber is narrow and low, only slightly larger than the area of the ordinary private room, there are no coffins inside, in which there is a Nine-colored golden ox, such as the size of an ordinary buffalo, the whole body burin silver slip gold, appears to be thick and luxurious, the back of the ox ambushed by a female corpse, probably due to the hair stolen from the outside after carrying to this, the ancient corpse form dissipation, face are somewhat unrecognizable, wearing the convergence of clothing also appears dirty rags, the dry body in the arms of an exquisite wooden box with gold, looks like a jewelry box.

I have heard Sun Jiuzi repeatedly mentioned, “Guanshan Taibao” secretly excavated ancient tombs around the world, and finally by the immortal Fengshigu, will be hidden in the tomb of all the things in the “village of the immortal” in the shade, so in the underground to see the “dry body, Ming ware, nests,” and so on. Offspring poisonous smoke” and other things, do not feel very surprised, may be the whole “Earth Immortal Village” buried under, are the ancient mound of the past dynasties of the tomb. I just don’t understand why Feng Shigu took so much trouble to create such a “Tomb Museum” in Coffin Mountain. Seeing what he did, it was no different from a madman.

So a little distracted work, in front of the “nine-colored golden ox” eyes suddenly blinking up, I thought it was stupefied head to see the eyes, and then want to look carefully, but see that the golden ox supporting the back of the dry body, radial front to crash.

I hastened to dodge, “nine-colored golden ox” from my front, four sides of the chamber, was blocked by the stone roller arch in one of the side, the head of the ox was originally side to the door of the tomb, a rushed is rushing to a stone wall, immediately hit a square, but the golden ox did not due to the wall overturned, the back of the dry body did not even move, but will be the top of the tomb wall to Flip open, there is another secret room behind the wall, the golden ox carrying the corpse, the momentum did not enter the dark room behind the wall.

I was very curious, is it possible that the nine-colored golden ox can communicate with inspiration? Seeing outsiders enter the tomb, it can carry the corpse of the tomb owner to escape to another hidden chamber? I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the records in the “16 Characters of Yin-Yang and Feng-Shui Mysteries” “Transportation” scroll, and immediately realized that the original anti-theft mechanism of this ancient tomb was activated in a chain, and once outsiders intruded into the chamber and triggered the “pinning device”, the golden ox would be just like a coffin that could walk and move. Activities of the coffin, will immediately transfer the tomb owner’s bones and artifacts to another area, and after the tomb wall turned down, we are in this chamber will immediately appear “poisonous smoke, ambush fire” type of mechanism.

The tomb wall that was opened by the “Nine-colored Golden Bull” has a name of “overturning the sky cover”, once this wall is overturned, the tomb chamber will immediately become a “death trap”. Now the door of the stone arch tomb has been blocked by a thousand boulders, if the dark room behind the tomb wall closes the door again, there is no way of life to find.

When I woke up, the golden ox had already put the “overturned sky cover” up, and was about to rush into the dark room, as long as the “nine-colored golden ox” carrying the corpse drilled into it, after the tomb wall fell to the ground, I could never want to let it open again, but after all, I woke up afterward. Even if I reacted quickly, it was too late for me to rush over from the back.

In the blink of an eye, I saw the fat man who was a little closer to the wall, violently sent the “Guan Gong Knife” forward, diagonally poking in the stone groove on the ground, just don’t hold the hooves of the “Nine-colored golden ox”, although the golden ox is heavy, but only can move according to a fixed route, can’t leave the stone groove, and can’t break the stone groove, not to mention the goose egg thick, but also can’t be broken. Can not break the goose egg thick cast iron hilt, hard to be stuck under the “cover of the sky”, no longer able to move forward the slightest bit.

I sighed with relief, secretly said fluke, but I do not know Wang fat boy is which tendon wrong, how suddenly become so wise and decisive? Really “explore the sea topple river hand, force to save the crazy waves in the immediate collapse”. At this time, he climbed up from the ground, shaking his bladder and walked to the front of the golden calf, stretched out his hand to the dry body in the arms of the gold box keyed out, broke open the box cover to look at it, it was stuffed into their own hand carry bag.

I just realized how it is, the original fat man just did not think about anything else, just see “nine-color golden ox” with the tomb owner’s corpse to escape, and see the corpse in the arms of the hidden “Ming ware” gold box, naturally can not be allowed to easily slip away from under the noses of the eyes, and even all the Do not have to go through the brain to think, out of the role of the nerve reflex, quickly handed out the “Guan Gong knife” to drill into the chamber of the nine-colored golden ox blocked a square, and then immediately hand “touch gold”, copied the dumplings embrace the “Mingqi “.

At this time Shirley Yang and the youngest sister has helped Professor Sun up, I found in the stone arch tomb door, there is still poisonous smoke continue to pour into the chamber from the gap, on the crowd to make a gesture, let the crowd from the “nine-colored golden calf” belly drilling into the dark room.

After the “overturned sky cover” is a gloomy and narrow chamber, there is a thick wall hanging above, and several layers of animal skins are laid between the walls, after the dark wall is turned over and closed, it will fall down and kill the “overturned sky cover”, and the strong double-layer wall will trap the grave robbers alive in the previous chamber. The strong double wall will trap the grave robbers alive in the previous chamber, even the tomb of the princes and nobles, there are few such ruthless and ingenious arrangement, I do not know that the “nine-colored golden ox” carried by the owner of the tomb was once a what is the head.

I can’t think of anything else, I looked around in the chamber after “overturning the sky cover”, and saw that there was a stone staircase on the side, which must be leading to the Yang residence on “Coffin Mountain”, and we wanted to touch the “Feng family’s old residence” from the underground passage earlier. We wanted to enter the “Feng family’s old house” through the underground passage, but now it seems that there are a lot of organs in the ancient tomb, and the tomb passage chamber is low and narrow, five people are crowded inside the room can not be utilized, and if we meet with accidents again, it is inevitable that there will be injuries, rather than in the “Earth Immortal Village” can be maneuvered around.

I pointed to the crowd pointed to the stone steps in the chamber, signaling to leave this so-called “Tomb Museum”, instead of action from above, Shirley Yang and other immediately nodded in agreement. By the fat man in front of the lead, uncovered a layer of copper cover, five people one by one drilled out. A look around, it is in a private house, the house furniture and furnishings are complete, pieces of exquisite, look at the scale, although not what luxury aristocratic mansion, but also can be considered the earth’s “rich family”, the people will not be so at home.

The exit of the dark tunnel is in a carved water wood bed under the teeth, surrounded by darkness and silence, empty, I struck a match, see the flame is no different, then take off the gas mask, the nose smelled all the cold air, the house is obviously a long time no one alive to walk around.

This time I learned a good boy, do not wait for the back of the people are drilled out from under the bed dark tunnel, it first pushed open the door, let the fat man dragged over a chair in front of the door, so as not to be shut in the house again.

Fatty face wound has stopped the blood, but because of the fear of breaking the face, the mood seems a little anxious, he inexplicably asked me: “Hu commander you see this bed can be really sophisticated, disassembled dragged to Panjiayuan can be worth silver, enough to shock Qiao Erzhi together, you say this is not the landlord’s wife sleeping and lying?” I said: “Furniture is good, but the courtyard is not big, may be a big family’s house, I look like the old landlord head and his aunt’s bed.” Fatty said indignantly, “This world may not really be more men and less women, but why are there so many bachelors? In the final analysis, it is the rich landlord class warmth and lust, every family has three wives and four concubines, so the implementation of our proletariat head, even monogamy is not enough to share, what is the right ah? As a result, the naked men rose up and fought all the landlords in the country. I think it is necessary for us to carry forward this fine tradition, and there is nothing polite with this group of grandsons of Guanshan Taibao …….”

I have no good impression of “Guanshan Taibao”, told the fat man said: “You do not have to beat around the bush to find excuses, Ming Guanshan Taibao is the court’s eagle and dog, before secretly pit a lot of inverted bucket of craftsmen, based on this alone we should also be the village of the Earth Fairy Mingqi pouring net theft empty, but those a longstanding grudges But those old grudges have long been dust of history. We still have to tighten the main thing to do this time, to find the Danding Tianshu also just, such as over fall empty …… and then calculate the total account is not too late, before leaving to put a fire to burn it a piece of tile does not stay.”

Speaking, the rest of the three are also one after another out of the dark tunnel, Sun Jiuji seems to look extraordinarily tired, sit down smoothly on the water wood carved flowers on the dental bed to rest up, but he sat down, then a move no longer move, even the face of the gas mask have not taken off.

I see his behavior is different, then tightly pressed the “engineer shovel” to the bed, reached out to him to remove the gas mask, the crowd saw Sun Jiu master hidden in the gas mask under the face, all surprised, all back away.
