We then returned to the Gnaku on the lower floor.
We first found some uniforms and coats of the Kwantung Army and changed into them.
We wiped the mud and blood stains on our faces randomly, and each of us also found a steel helmet and put it on our head.
Eiko was already handsome, but she looked even more handsome when she put on the military uniform.
The fat man cheered beside her: "Hey, big girl, when you put on the Japanese military uniform, you look like Yoshiko Ikawashima."
Eiko didn't know who Yoshiko Kawashima was, so she thought the fat man was praising her, which was very helpful.
I told Eiko: "He means that you look like a Japanese female spy."
When Yingzi heard this, his eyebrows stood up, and the fat man quickly said: "I said it wrong, I said it wrong.
I should have said that when I saw Yingzi wearing a military uniform and holding a gun, I could think of Chairman Mao's poem, "He is so cool and heroic."
Guns, the first light of dawn shines on the military training field, the Chinese people are full of ambitions, they don’t like red makeup, they prefer armed weapons.”
I laughed from the side and said: "Fat man has become a poet recently, and he will recite a few lines every now and then."
As I spoke, I found a hexagonal wrench on a shelf where gasoline barrels were stored: "It's all done this time.
We've got everything we need to get.
Let's take action as soon as possible."
The three of them were wearing the uniforms of the Kwantung Army, carrying hundreds of submachine guns, and returned along the original route.
I was still at the rear.
This time, Fatty and the others never said they saw any shadow of a child.
I didn't ask, but my mind was filled with suspicion.
I thought to myself: "The fat man said that the kid ran into the iron gate.
What on earth does this kid want to do?
Does he want to show us the way out?
Can such a cheap thing happen?
Or does he have other agendas?
I just have some left.
Next, some glutinous rice.
I heard that ghosts are afraid of glutinous rice.
If that kid dares to cause trouble, he will definitely let him come and come back defeated.
If not, I won’t be able to show off my tricks. " I followed them and encouraged myself.
The injury on my back didn't seem to hurt much anymore.
Not long after, I came to the cave with an airtight door for the second time.
As a precaution, we all put on helmets and gas masks, pulled the bolts of the guns, and loaded the bullets into the chambers.
Before I opened the door, I asked Yingzi to grab a handful of glutinous rice and prepare to throw it, and asked the fat man to take aim with his submachine gun.
If there was something inside the door, no matter what, just kill him first.
In addition, I also told the fat man to cooperate with me and take turns shooting without leaving any space for loading the magazine.
After everything was arranged, I slung the submachine gun on my shoulder, grabbed the hexagonal wrench on the threads on the door, and turned it hard.
The door hadn't been opened for decades, and the threads were very rusty.
I even exerted all my strength to suck milk, and I almost broke the wrench.
Finally, I heard a "squeak" sound, and the three exhaust slots under the door "chirped", and the air-tight door was filled with gas.
The air, the iron door rattled The air groove in the airtight door was filled with air, and the heavy iron door opened with a sound.
I took two steps back in a hurry, pointed my submachine gun and flashlight at the door, but there was no movement inside the door.
The situation was unexpected.
I saw nothing but darkness inside the door.
When the light of the flashlight shone in, it was swallowed up by the darkness inside.
I made a gesture to Yingzi.
Yingzi understood and threw a large handful of glutinous rice into the secret room like flowers.

However, there was still no movement in the secret room.
It was as if all the sounds in the world had disappeared, and only the heavy weight of himself in the gas mask could be heard. breathing.
It seems that we worry too much.
As the saying goes, suspicion breeds ghosts.
Before anything happens, we scare ourselves half to death.
In the end, the fat man couldn't hold himself any longer and took the lead and entered the secret room.
Yingzi and I followed closely behind and filed in one after another.
The area of the secret room is about forty square meters.
It is a solitary room with no other exits except the air-tight door.
It contained neither bacterial weapons nor chemical weapons.
Before I came in, I thought of almost all possibilities, but I didn't expect that there were more than a dozen large coffins in the room.
These coffins are piled up in the secret room in disorder.
Some of the coffins are old and rotten.
Some are large and some are small.
The craftsmanship and styles are all different.
There is even an oversized sarcophagus.
The most luxurious of them are two large golden nanmu coffins. , there are countless pottery shards scattered on the ground.
I looked back at Fatty and the others, and they both shook their heads at me.
Even though they were wearing gas masks, I could still feel the confused expressions on their faces.
The fat man asked me: "Old Hu, what's going on?
This seems to be a fucking museum.
Where did they get so many coffins?"
I thought about it for a moment.
In fact, this matter is not difficult to guess, but we were preconceived and did not expect this.
Yerengou was originally a group of ancient tombs from the Jin and Liao Dynasties.
The Kwantung Army built this secret underground fortress, especially the three connected passages in the fortresses on both sides, which happened to cross the valley of Yerengou.
During the construction, they must have dug out Many ancient tombs, the funerary objects in these ancient tombs, and The coffins of the ancient Jin and Liao nobles were treasures to the Japanese.
They stored all the things dug out from the ancient tombs in semi-vacuum chambers.
The Kwantung Army retreated in a hurry.
Before leaving, they only kept the things buried with them.
The antiques were wrapped up, and the remaining coffins have remained here.
The fat man said: "The Japanese are good at taking advantage of others and leaving nothing for us.
Let's see if there is anything valuable in the coffin.
It's not in vain."
After that, he kicked open a big coffin.
The coffin board, the coffin lid had been pried open by the Japanese a long time ago and was not re-nailed.
With one kick, the coffin lid was kicked aside.
Yingzi didn't dare to come over and take a look: "I'd better wait for you two at the door.
I'll keep an eye on you and don't let anyone lock us in here."
After saying that, he walked to the door, one foot inside and one foot outside. door.
I said to Yingzi at the door: "My eldest sister is still smart.
I never thought of this.
I have been a soldier for so many years in vain.
This door can only be opened from the outside.
If we are all locked in this secret room, I am afraid we will not even be able to open it."

I can’t even find a way to cry.”
The fat man just rummaged around in the coffin, cursing as he rummaged: "Fuck, they're all scum.
The Japanese are so damn wicked.
They follow the three-guang policy wherever they go.
They didn't even leave us a whole jar." ” He did this even after turning over three or four coffins.
The fat man was so angry that he kept cursing and pushed the red lacquer coffin made of golden nanmu.
I didn't pay much attention to those ordinary coffins.
My eyes were always attracted to the huge sarcophagus.
My intuition told me that there was something inside.
I don't understand why I have this idea, but I suddenly have the urge to open this sarcophagus and take a look.
I asked the fat man to come over and help, and the two of them worked together to push the stone slab above.
The stone slab was extremely thick, and after a long time of pushing, only a small crack was opened.
The fat man gasped and waved his hands: "It's no good.
Let's rest for a while.
It's too heavy and there's no food in my stomach.
I can't push it."
My stomach was growling with hunger.
This exertion made me see stars, so I had to sit down and rest.
We took off our gas masks and each lit a cigarette.
The fat man blew out a smoke ring: "Old Hu, do you think the ancient people were out of their minds?
With such a stone coffin, this is the first time I've seen someone use a stone as a coffin."
I stroked the stone slab and said: "This is not a coffin, this is called a stone coffin.
Coffin, coffin, the wooden coffin is inside this stone box.
The person who can enjoy this kind of treatment must be a high-ranking official, maybe a prince."
The fat man scratched his head: "Oh, so that's what happened.
It's really fucking complicated.
They were all buried in the Savage Ditch.
Who has a higher official position than the general's tomb we dug compared to the master in this stone coffin?"
I shook my head and said: "I don't know, it's hard to say.
We don't know much about history, but in the past few hundred years of Jin, Liao and Yuan Dynasties, the nomadic people in the north were unprecedentedly powerful.
They all conquered the world on horseback." , I guess he should emphasize martial arts over literature, so it is possible that the nobles with the highest martial arts were the ones buried in this geomantic treasure land.
On the cave, the other nobles buried nearby may have more abundant burial objects than those in the general's tomb.
The tomb owner's hobbies during his life were different, and the burial objects must also be different.
Take the ancient tomb we dug as an example.
He was a warrior with no elegant taste or taste, so most of the items in his tomb were horses and weapons."
The fat man said: "Actually, those horses must be good horses of a thousand miles, and they would be worth a lot of money if they were alive, but now only the horse bones are left.
They are probably sold to the scrap recycling station, and no one will want them.
Fortunately, he still has two pieces of jade. , otherwise our work will be in vain.
If we go back and let Da Jinya find a home for these two pieces of jade, we will not be able to deal with Wan'er Baqian."
We finished smoking while we were talking.
We both put on our gas masks again and pushed the big stone slab again with all our strength.
Yingzi also came over to help, and finally moved the stone slab aside.
A wooden coffin with a pure black background was exposed inside the stone coffin.
This coffin was still nearly twice the size of an ordinary coffin, and it was also unusually tall.
Not counting the arc-shaped lid, it was more than half a person tall.

The coffin is of exquisite craftsmanship and is definitely not a vulgar object.
There are five-color depictions of gold lacquer on both ends, all sides and the lid of the coffin.
The paintings are of some auspicious mythical animals, such as cranes, unicorns, turtles and snakes, used to bless the coffin.
After the death of the owner, his corpse turned into an immortal.
There is also a star map of the twenty-eight constellations in the sky on the coffin lid.
The bottom of the coffin is surrounded by a golden pattern of clouds.
I don’t know what secret method was used.
After thousands of years, the colors are still as bright as new.
It is really amazing.
It was the first time for us to see such a magnificent coffin.
If we had not seen it with our own eyes, we would never have imagined that there was such a huge coffin like a work of art in the world.
The fat man was overjoyed: "Even if there is nothing inside, we can make a lot of money by carrying the coffin back and selling it."
He rolled up his sleeves and pushed the coffin board away.
Even Yingzi couldn't help but want to see what was in this big coffin.
The three of them got together and shined their flashlights into the coffin.
The brocade covered in the coffin had long been decayed, and it was probably that it would turn into ashes if touched.
On a layer of rotten brocade lies a It has a skeleton.
After thousands of years, the clothes and flesh have long since rotted away.
Only the skull is slightly preserved.
The mouth is wide open, revealing two rows of black rotten teeth.
If you don't look at the skull, you may not be able to see this.
They are human remains.
Yingzi swept the edge of the giant coffin with the beam of flashlight, and she was so frightened that she yelled: "Oh my God, it's this kid."
I saw two naked children, a man and a woman, standing at both ends of the coffin.
They looked to be about five or six years old, and their faces were lifelike.
The boy had a braid on his head, and the girl had her hair in two buns.
The style is by no means a modern style, but rather like the ancients in the murals.
Could it be that the boy and girl who were martyred to the Taoist Lord were almost dead in the coffin, so how could these boys and girls be so well preserved?
"These two little bastards are probably dummies, made to look like real people."
The fat man said as he used his hands to squeeze the child in the giant coffin.
"Fat man wants to take a look today, and he has become a sperm."
"It won't work" I held down the fat man's hand and said, "Don't touch the dummy without gloves.
It may be poisonous.
Look carefully at these two children.
There are patches of blue and purple on them.
These are mercury spots."
In the 1950s, my grandfather Hu Guohua spent a period of time in a large hospital in Beijing for medical treatment.
During this period, a large building was to be built near the hospital, and an ancient tomb was excavated on the construction site.
He also sneaked out of the hospital to watch the excitement and went into the underground palace to take a look.
The ancient tomb is said to belong to a prince in the Ming Dynasty.
There is black water all around the ancient tomb.
The tomb chamber of the underground palace is divided into three parts: the front, middle and back.
There is a thousand-jin gate hanging at the door.
Entering through the gate, you will first see a "Ming Palace" "The Hall of the Underworld, according to the layout of the main room of the tomb owner's home during his lifetime, has various furniture and furnishings.
These utensils are called "Ming ware" and "Ming ware".

Further inside, the tomb chamber in the middle is called the "sleep hall", where the coffins are placed.
This ancient tomb is a joint burial tomb, and what is very special is that the coffins of the tomb owner and his wife, the prince and the princess, are hung in the air in the dormitory with large iron chains, large copper rings and copper locks.
Next is the "side hall", which is a place specially used to place funerary objects.
A few days later, an ancient tomb from the Yuan Dynasty was also unearthed in Haidian.
There were boys and girls buried in both tombs.
They looked exactly like living people when they were unearthed.
It was just that the boys and girls unearthed from the Yuan Dynasty tomb were not.
The clothes on his body turned to dust when touched.
Later, my grandfather told me these two things as stories.
He said that when these boys and girls were alive, in addition to taking mercury orally, they also had to dig holes on their heads, backs, soles of feet, etc., all over the ground.
After death, mercury is poured into the body and the body is smeared with mercury powder.
It is like being made into a specimen.
After thousands of years, the skin and flesh will not rot.
This technology is far more advanced than the ancient Egyptian mummies.
However, the backgrounds of the two civilizations are different and their value orientations are also very different.
Moreover, the method of filling mercury to maintain the appearance of the corpse requires living people, as the blood of the dead does not flow. , cannot be poured into it, so this technique has never been used on any tomb owner.
Perhaps the cruelest thing in the world is to bury a living person.
The fat man put on gloves and took out the body of one of the children.
After careful inspection, he found several holes on the top of the head, back, soles, etc. .
The holes in these corpses have been sealed with fire paint by skilled craftsmen.
Black and purple spots have appeared in many places on the corpses.
Buried people or gold, silver and jade objects are often smeared with mercury powder, which will cause chemical changes over time. , if it is recent, it will appear brownish red, and if it is old, it will turn black and purple.
This kind of plaque is commonly known as "mercury spot" or "mercury dip".
In some places, corpse spots are also called "rotten yinzi" and "mercury blue". .
The fat man was obviously a little nervous.
He pretended to be calm and sighed and said: "I have read a novel written by Lu Xun before, and there is a description of mercury soaking in antiques.
It seems that the old man is not just writing it, it is true. " Yingzi asked: "This is too pitiful.
Brother Hu, why don't you put clothes on these boys and girls?
I remember seeing the child running past wearing clothes.
Is he a ghost?"
I told her: "Only they know whether they are ghosts, but it's not that these two children didn't wear clothes, the boys and girls buried with them must have all been dressed in costumes.
After almost a thousand years, by now, those clothes would have long been worn."
It’s rotten.
I’m afraid this huge coffin is from the Yuan Dynasty.
The moment the Kwantung Army dug it out and opened it, the clothes turned into dust as soon as they saw the air.”
Yingzi said: "Isn't it often said that they should be buried in peace?
How about we help them?
How pitiful."
The fat man nodded in agreement: "I just want to get rich and don't want to meddle in other things, but this time the situation is special.
Let's take them out and dig a hole and bury them properly.
Don't poke them naked here." , They have stood guard for the tomb owner for thousands of years, and it’s time to rest.”
The corpses are full of mercury and cannot be burned, so we can only dig a hole and bury them.
This is all we can do.
I hope there will be fewer such tragedies in the world.
Without further delay, the fat man and I took off the Kwantung Army coats we were wearing, wrapped the boys and girls in them, tied them and carried them on our backs.

The body filled with mercury was very heavy, thanks to the fact that it was a child.
If it were an adult, it would be really tough to carry it alone.
When the fat man saw that he had not received any valuable treasure, he felt somewhat unhappy and wished he could burn all the coffins.
Yingzi and I hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but he had no choice but to give up.
We went back to the cave to discuss how to get out.
At this time, everyone was hungry and thirsty.
What was terrible was that in the underground fortress, there was no food, no water, and no explosives or shells.
The only way to get back to the surface was to rob the cave of the general's tomb.
There is a way to go, but thinking about the strange power of the red-haired monster is really a headache.
Even if you are full and drunk, you may not be its opponent, not to mention that now your hands and feet are so hungry that your hands and feet are weak.
The three of them looked at each other and had the same idea in their minds.
There were more than a dozen dead bats on the ground.
At this point, they could only sacrifice these guys to the Temple of the Five Internal Organs.
Human beings are omnivores.
Once we are hungry, there is nothing we cannot eat.
Yingzi said that when she was a child, she and her grandfather ate bats in a cave in the deep mountains and forests.
That year there were wildfires and a rare famine.
All the larger animals in the mountains disappeared, so people ate gophers.
Eat bats, eat locusts, eat grass planes, the sinews and brittle bones of bats are very delicious and chewy.
These big pig-faced bats in the cave are so skinny and so ferocious that they look like mummies of vampire demons.
The fat man and I have reservations about the saying that their meat is delicious.
But in order to survive, I don’t have to worry about so much.
If I want to make a fire and barbecue, I have to go back to Gnaku.
There are many wooden boxes there that can be used for firewood.
Of course, the coffin boards can also be burned, but eating meat roasted with a coffin fire is not a problem.
Somewhat unacceptable.
So the fat man used the rope he had on him to pick five or six fat dead bats, tie them to his paws, tie them in a string, and drag them away, including the oversized King Bat.
After returning to Gnaku, he put aside the coat that contained the boy and girl.
Eiko took out a short knife and cut off the bat's ugly head, fleshless claws, disembowelled it, and finally skinned it indiscriminately.
I found a large pile of wooden boxes, kicked them into wooden boards, took out a knife and cut some wood chips, lit the wood chips with a match to start the fire, and the fat man assisted me.
He squatted on the ground and put his hands together to blow air to fan the fire.
He also found some bayonets on rifles, picked up the bats, and grilled them over the fire.
The fat man frowned, reluctant to eat such things.
Yingzi advised: "It doesn't taste bad.
Don't think it's a bat.
If you chew it a few more times, it will taste like mutton."
I don't care, bats are just like mice.
When the army was training in Shaanxi, I ate gophers, dormice, flying squirrels, voles, chipmunks and other kinds of mice many times.
The taste was the same, fat and thin.
It's thin and has three layers of streaks.
It's indeed similar to mutton, but I've never eaten bat meat before.
The pig-faced big bat is a warm-blooded animal and does not have much fat, so it should not be roasted for a long time.
After seeing that the meat has become cooked, I took a bite first.
The shoulder meat is very crispy, with a lot of tendons and crispy bones in it.
It is definitely not as good as mutton.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Eat, but it's really chewy.
When the fat man saw me eating, he pinched his nose and took a bite.
He felt quite satisfied.
Then he ate one like a storm.
Still unsatisfied, he put the biggest bat king on the bayonet and grilled it.
When we were almost halfway through eating, a string of sticky, shiny liquid dripped from the roof on the fat man's head, and landed right on the fat man's face.
The fat man was excited to eat.
When he saw his face was wet, he wiped it with his hand and said curiously: "Who the hell shed so much sweat on my head?"
As soon as the words came out, he himself felt that the question was wrong
