Chapter 29 Crater 2

The scale of the building complex is beyond my imagination. If there is an underground palace underneath these buildings, then the scale here may be comparable to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

According to the scene in the film of the undersea tomb, the real Yunding Heavenly Palace should have been above our heads. After the avalanche, the spiritual palace above may have been completely crushed. I don’t know how deep the snow is above our heads to serve as this underground palace. of land.

The flares that were fired again were extinguished in the darkness, the darkness surrounded us again, and our light turned into a few flashlights in our hands that were obviously low on power.

Except for Shunzi, everyone had an almost fanatical excitement on their faces. Grave robbing represents one of the most primitive desires of human beings, seeking wealth and exploring death. This kind of stimulation is probably unavoidable for humans.

It took ten minutes for us to recover and prepare to go down. Chen Pi Asi said to Monk Hua: "Leave the useless things and prepare the rope. Let's go into battle lightly."

Monk Hua immediately began to prepare. We rectified the equipment and put some of the discarded unnecessary things on the platform here to avoid unnecessary risks when climbing with heavy loads.

Then we all put on gas masks, and then used standard mountaineering procedures to climb down the cliff step by step with ropes.

Below are a large number of dead trees, filled with a strange smell that even a gas mask cannot filter out. After everyone came down, they heard Pan Zi say: "This is a dead pit. We have to hurry up. If we stay here for a long time, we may die of lack of oxygen. I heard when I was in the army that even birds can't fly over this place." .”

That is the sulfur-containing poisonous gas emitted by volcanic activity. It's hard to imagine how toxic it is.

Monk Hua lit up the powerful cold fireworks to illuminate the surrounding environment. We looked around and saw a two-car-wide stone path paved with stone slabs at our feet, which led almost straight to the front. This is the entrance to the mausoleum. The Shinto leads directly to the main entrance of the mausoleum. Here you can vaguely see a huge black shadow at the end.

Monk Hua asked Chen Pi Asi: "How should we go?"

"Follow the divine way and first go to the imperial mausoleum first," Chen Pi'asi replied.

None of us had any experience dealing with imperial tombs, and we had no other ideas at this time, so we followed behind without any nonsense and trotted over.

After climbing over many dead trees that had fallen on the Shinto, we soon came to a stone gate. The stone was very high, a bit like the archway we had in the ancient village. This is the first stone gate of the imperial mausoleum, called the Tianmen. After passing the stone gate, there will be a large number of stone carvings on both sides of the Shinto.

When passing the stone gate, Chen Pi'asi said: "When you come out, remember to walk backwards to avoid hitting the guillotine gate."

I have seen this in my grandfather's notes. This first stone door has a very strange identity. Before this door, it was the place where the coffin bearers and funeral teams were massacred. After the burial ceremony was completed, when everyone left this door , will be stabbed with a click, so this door is equivalent to the gate of yin and yang. If the tomb robber enters along the Shinto, or enters the first door of the underground palace, when he comes out, he must come out backwards, otherwise it will be very troublesome .

Of course, almost no native masters have the opportunity to follow the Shinto to enter the imperial tombs and excavate them. We may be one of the extremely rare few. Those who were able to rob imperial tombs in the past were either warlords or tycoons. Of course, they were not afraid of the so-called guillotine.

After passing the Tianmen, there were white stone figures and horses every five meters on both sides of the Shinto. We couldn't move these things without archaeology, so we just walked straight ahead without looking at them.

I was running, and suddenly, the fat man running in front of me stopped.

I followed the fat man, bumped into him, and fell to the ground.

This was so sudden that the fat man almost fell over due to the impact. I asked him what he was doing.

The fat man turned his head and looked behind him, his face turned pale, and he said softly: "It seems like there is someone standing on the roadside."

The few people in front noticed that we had stopped and turned back. Pan Zi asked: "What's going on?"

When the fat man told what he saw, several others were a little unconvinced. Pan Zi said, "It's a stone man, right? Did you see it wrong?"

The fat man shook his head, "It passed in a flash. I just realized it. Look at me. I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. You must have read that right."

"Did you see clearly?"

"It seems to be a woman, I can't be sure." The fat man said, "I ran too fast and I didn't see clearly." "

We all shined our flashlights on the several stone men behind us. There were stone men every five meters. Six or seven of them had passed by in just a moment. Within the range of the flashlight, there was no woman like the fat man mentioned. There might be more. later.

Monk Hua asked: "Old man, do you want to go back and have a look? Maybe she is the woman in that gang?"

Monk Hua was referring to Aning. I thought to myself, how could it be possible? They were walking through the main entrance of Yunding Tiangong. Even if they had successfully crossed the border, they should be digging holes in our heads now. They would never be as fast as us. .

The fat man also said: "That's definitely not the case. If she is that girl, I will definitely recognize her at a glance."
