Chapter 808: A Strange Burial Chamber


I stepped into the darkness, my ears carefully discerning from the cacophony of crashes behind me if there was danger ahead.When I read this book and invited me to the outside of this mountain, I relied on listening to thunder to roughly identify the structure inside, but the structure of the inverted tower was judged very accurately, and I ignored the rest.It turns out that this complex structure of the burial chamber is what we really need to pay attention to this time.Passing through the arched doorway, I found myself standing on top of a stone staircase that led diagonally downward.The stone staircase was very long, and I stood in my current position, and put the flashlight far away to take care of it, but I could not see the end.I judged by listening to the thunder that the main burial chamber of this ancient tomb was at the bottom of the bone tower, so when I finally saw the way down, my heart was much more steady.I really can't understand what the people who designed this ancient tomb thought in the first place, and how it was so complicated to design this place.It's not that the ancients always believed that after death, the soul could leave the body one day, walk out of the avenue of heaven in the tomb, leave their own mansion, and go straight to heaven This ancient tomb is designed like this, aren't you afraid that the soul of the deceased will get lost when you want to leave I walked down the stone steps while scolding my belly.After all, I've just experienced too many dangers, and I'm a little nervous now, and I feel like I'm a soldier.So, I walked slower than ever, and not only listened with my ears, but kept looking around with my flashlight, for fear that if that terrible black gas suddenly came out of somewhere, it would be troublesome.RonggtAlthough I brought a lot of cinnabar, I have basically used most of it now, and there is still a small gourd cinnabar left to use, and I must keep it for the return trip, otherwise I am really worried that even if we get something, we will not be able to leave here.There are dark red murals on the walls on both sides of the stone steps, which are very messily painted, very modern art, and look very strange.However, the Liao Dynasty was very tolerant of all cultures, and I don't know where I learned this art form, so I just had to take the road under my feet.However, as I walked, I felt that something was not right, because I noticed that the murals on the walls seemed to move.I frowned, raised my hand to signal everyone behind me to stop, and then raised my flashlight to look at the wall and take a closer look.After looking at it, I was shocked to find that these murals were not painted with colored paint, but more like dark red dots gathered together.The more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I took a closer look at the reads.At this glance, I was immediately stunned, because I noticed that they were not murals at all, but red ants on the walls.The ants were lying on the wall, motionless at first, but when I got closer, they seemed to feel the heat of my exhalation, and they all crawled around, and soon an area was vacated.Because I often have to deal with "soil", I am no stranger to insects such as ants.Over the years, I've seen big black ants, small black ants the size of sesame seeds, man-eating ants in the desert, and extremely destructive termites.But to be honest, this is the first time I've seen this red ant.These ants are not sensitive to light at all, but they seem to be very sensitive to temperature.If so, then I am worried that these ants who have lived in the dark for a long time are likely to rely on the body temperature of organisms to find food, so the few of us walking here are equivalent to several very obvious heat sources, and it is very likely that these ants have long been used as food.It's just a little incomprehensible why, as if they were afraid of us, not only did they not attack us at all, but instead lay still on the wall, and only ducked a little when we approached.Shen Dali and the others also noticed the dense dark red ants on the wall at this time, and they all looked very nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe.I gasped and walked on, reminding everyone to be careful of the ants on the wall, not to touch them, and to remember to remind everyone if they notice any unusual movement of those dark red ants.To my surprise and delight, we had walked a long way down the stone steps, and we could even see the arched doorway at the end of the stone steps, and still not attacked by the dark red ants.I don't know why, but it's definitely good for us, and I'm happy to see it.Walking down the stone steps and through the doorway, we finally entered a very large burial chamber.At this point, I breathed a long sigh of relief and was relieved.Maybe I was wrong in my judgment just now, those ants are not aggressive towards people, I thought like this, and it was a lot easier.Raising the flashlight, I looked around the tomb by the light of the flashlight, and found that the tomb was not a regular shape, like a circle but not a circle, and in different directions, it would extend outward a semi-circular chamber, and a coffin was parked in each chamber.I counted them carefully, and was shocked to find that there were as many as seven coffins.When I think of the number "seven", the first thing that comes to my mind is the Seven Star Evil Array, but these coffins are very far apart, and there doesn't seem to be any special necessary connection between them, so they should have nothing to do with the Seven Star Evil Array.In addition to the seven coffins, in the center of this large burial chamber, stands a tall stone statue.The stone statue is a noble woman with a circular bun on the back of her head, pinned to a tree-shaped step, wearing a red robe with many gold accents.Its expression was serene, as if it was looking ahead, but wherever we stood, it felt as if it was staring at us.Next to the stone statue, there is a large stone stele, on which is a stone tablet with full of characters.When Yang Qing saw the stone statue, she already looked a little excited, but when she saw the stone tablet, she no longer looked at the stone statue, her eyes were shining, and with the support of Zhao Zitong, she staggered to the stone tablet and looked at it very seriously.If you take Yang Qing to fight, we all have a consensus that we don't need to say, unless we encounter a particularly dangerous situation, we must try to give Yang Qing time to observe and interpret what she is concerned about.I turned my head to Shen Dali and Leng Yue and said, "Let's take a rest here for the time being, Dali, keep an eye on the ants behind you, if they crawl over, they will definitely remind us." ”Shen Dali said "yes", walked to the entrance of the tomb and stopped, put the flashlight on his side, let it shine outside the entrance, and stared at the ants on the wall outside without blinking.I raised my hand to wipe my sweat and looked around, not telling anyone about my worries for the time being.Based on the results of listening to the thunder, I can tell that this must not be the main burial chamber we are looking for.The layout of this place now seems so strange, and although I don't know what the purpose of the layout is, I have a vague feeling that something is wrong.Most crucially, I urgently need to find a way forward or down to get to the main burial chamber as soon as possible.Yang Qing suddenly said loudly at this time: "Fifth brother, I know whose tomb this is" aa2705221:
