The moment I opened the tent, yellow sand poured into the tent like a flood, and soon it was up to my calves, but it didn't stop.
It wasn't until everything below my waist was buried in yellow sand that the flow stopped.
The opening of the tent was not completely exposed. Most of it was covered with yellow sand, and only less than one-fifth of its size could be seen outside.
I scraped it with my hands, and it was barely enough for one person to climb out.
After I climbed out of the tent, I found that the storm had gradually diminished, but it had no intention of stopping. The air was still filled with yellow sand.
I don’t know if God is tired from playing and is taking a break.
Turning around, there was no shadow of the tent anywhere. There was a small opening under the huge sand dune, and Liu Tingting was climbing out of it at the moment.
After a while, everyone, including Fatty Wu, that fat pig, climbed out of the tent safely.
I don’t know if the yellow sand on top is too heavy, or if Fatty Wu finally managed to get it out.
Anyway, the final tent completely collapsed and was completely buried by the yellow sand.
Seeing that everyone came out safely, I had nothing to worry about. According to the memory of the previous exploration, I took a flashlight and looked for the stone gate.
Soon, I found the stone door ten meters away from the tent.
Regarding the stone gate, Hanzi did not introduce too much. He only said that there were many patterns on the stone gate, and he did not observe too much in detail.
Soon, everyone gathered in front of the stone door.
The stone gate is about three meters high and two meters wide, and is made of bluestone bricks unique to the Warring States Period.
The structure of the stone gate is peculiar, a scene of carved beams and painted buildings. Above the stone gate is a structure similar to a roof, which is convex and tilted forward, somewhat like the rain cover in front of a modern facade.
On both sides of the so-called rainfly facing upward, there are carved stone birds that are integrated with the rainfly. They are quite large in shape, about the size of an adult chicken or duck. However, due to some wind and sand erosion, it is no longer possible to identify what kind of bird they belong to. .
There is a convex arc-shaped stone pillar on both sides of the stone door. The patterns carved on it are somewhat like vines. There are grooves of different depths on the stone pillars on both sides. It seems that there are words on the stone pillars, but now there are also It has changed beyond recognition.
As for the stone door, it seems to be nearly two meters high and only a little over half a meter wide, which looks a bit restrained.
"This is a tomb from the Western Han Dynasty!"
The old man suddenly spoke.
"Old sir, how did you determine his age based on this stone door alone?" I asked.
To be honest, although I have buried nearly a hundred tombs in ten years, most of those tombs are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they are basically the tombs of ordinary people, and occasionally I will encounter some landlords. The tomb of the family is basically the structure of a pit underground.
This is the second time I have been exposed to tomb chambers in my life. The first time was when I was in Luoyang.
Seeing that I asked him, the old man looked a little proud, raised his hand to stroke his beard and said: "It is tall and narrow in waist. This is the typical structure of tomb doors in the Western Han Dynasty. It is said that during the Western Han Dynasty, everyone in the world was obsessed with immortality, and cultivating immortals was It leads directly to the sky and is far away from the world. This is the truth of this stone gate. If you don't believe it, you can look at the top of the gate to see if there are stone carvings of auspicious clouds on it."
Half-believing and doubtful, I shined my flashlight towards the top of the stone gate and suddenly discovered a pattern of auspicious clouds carved on the stone.
But there are two more dots in the auspicious clouds. At first I thought they were sun and moon patterns, because the alternation of sun and moon is not uncommon in many tombs.
But when I looked carefully, I felt that the two protrusions did not seem to be the pattern of the sun and the moon, but rather a pair of eyes, but the distance between the eyes was a little too wide.
Fatty Wu obviously noticed this, but he didn't understand it as well as I did. He understood it like a pair of scumbags.
"Holy shit, Master, you are really a god. As expected, there are auspicious clouds. Hey, why are there two scumbags on top?"
Fatty Wu just said whatever he thought of, regardless of whether the people present liked to hear it or not.
Hearing such words from Zhitou, Liu Tingting, as the only woman in the team, immediately became unhappy. She gave Fatty Wu a hard look and cursed him as a gangster.
The question raised by Fatty Wu was also what I wanted to know, so I turned my head and looked at the old man, waiting for him to explain it to us.
"Little fat man, those two are not scumbags. They are the sun and the moon, and they are also a pair of eyes. If I remember correctly, there should be two tomb beasts on both sides of the stone door. Take a look. "
Almost all of the stone gate was exposed, but it still looked like it was buried under the yellow sand for more than 20 centimeters.
I know about tomb-suppressing beasts, but in my impression, tomb-suppressing beasts are used to guard tombs and protect the tomb owners from any evil spirits, so they are often very huge. The smallest one I have seen is at least as big as More than half a meter high.
But now, I rubbed my feet hard and reached the bottom of the blue bricks in front of the stone gate. How could there be a tomb beast at such a shallow depth? Even if it was washed away by the yellow sand, it would not be connected to the edge. No corners are exposed.
I was beating a drum in my heart, wondering if this old man was telling lies with his eyes open.
I thought in my mind but didn't say anything, but my feet instinctively kicked the side of the stone door.
Bang!
Inadvertently, I seemed to have kicked something hard on the stone door, which caused a tingling sensation on my toes.
I hurriedly knelt down and searched with both hands, and sure enough, I found a strange stone statue of a tomb beast in the yellow sand that was only twenty centimeters deep.
Seeing that the tomb-suppressing beast was really found on my side, Fatty Wang also speeded up on the other side, and not long after another tomb-suppressing beast appeared.
"How about it, I found it."
The old man looked up at the sky, looking confident.
"Master, I have found the tomb beast, but it is a bit too small, and it seems to have only one eye..."
"What……?!"
The old man lowered his head suddenly and looked at the two small tomb beasts on both sides of the stone gate.
When he saw the two tomb beasts, his face turned pale with fright, and he stumbled back a few steps.
"This... this is not a tomb-suppressing beast... this is an elephant... this is an evil spirit. This stone door cannot be opened!"
Before, the old man looked like a calm and indifferent person, but now he was like a mouse after seeing a cat, and he was frightened into this by two palm-sized tomb beasts.
This made me feel confused and puzzled for a while, so I quickly asked: "Old man, isn't this what a tomb beast is like? Why can't it be activated?"
"Yes, Master, aren't they just two stones? Do you always have such a big reaction?" Fatty Wang agreed.
From the moment I first met the old man, I had a good impression of him. Not only was he willing to help others, but he was also pleasant-looking, not to mention his amazing skills.
But at this moment, the old man changed his usual kindness and yelled at Fatty Wu and me, "You two little brats know a hammer. The elephant is the most ferocious beast in ancient times. It eats people's internal organs and brains. If you enter this tomb, you will die."
I didn't expect the old man to have such a big reaction. If I had done this before, even if my legs were broken, I wouldn't believe such nonsense.
But since the last time I encountered the terrifying female corpse in the Western Zhou Dynasty Tomb in Shui'ao Village, Luoyang, I began to have a new understanding of the weirdness and many taboos in the tomb.
Although those female corpses later disappeared in front of my eyes and became skeletons, I knew that they were not hallucinations and that they really existed.
Among the five people, Gouzi and I have personal experience with the weird, and Liu Tingting was a direct participant at the time. Although she didn't remember anything at the time, it didn't mean that she didn't believe in the existence of the weird.
Except for Fatty Wu, everyone else looked embarrassed when the old man made such a fuss. They all knew that the old man would not make up a story to scare everyone for no reason.
"Holy shit, are you serious? Is it so evil? You will die if you go in?"
Fatty Wu saw that we all had gloomy faces. Although he didn't believe in anything weird, he was a guy who was afraid of death, so he inevitably had a hint of retreat.
Fengfenghuohuo came all the way to this Gobi Desert with high morale, just to find this stone gate, and then go deep into the tomb to find what we each need.
But now, before the war has even started, one of our own people has become timid. This is too cowardly. If this spreads out, his colleagues will laugh at him.
The most important thing is that before I left, I patted my chest in front of Mr. Liu and promised that I would definitely bring this second dragon soul back to him.
Being frightened by a stone door is not the way I, Xie Dongzi, behave.
