The thing the person behind the scenes was looking for was probably hidden under the former ancient building, but Zhang Zhuxun had no intention of reminding Huo Xiangu about this.
Regardless of whether the thing exists or not, he will not let outsiders get it. The reason why he agreed to Huo Xiangu was to spread smoke bombs.
Huo Xiangu must die. After leaving the ancient building, the person behind the scenes could only cast suspicious eyes on Zhang Shuxun, but they could not be sure whether the thing was in Zhang Shuxun's hands.
In fact, the reason is that it itself doesn't know what it is. Just like Schrödinger's cat, it can't be sure whether it exists, and it can't deny its non-existence. The same is true for Zhang Shuxun.
Soon they found a mechanism to climb up on the west pillar. Everyone climbed up one by one and reached the fourth floor.
After going up, what was a bit unexpected was that there was only a huge human-faced turtle in the huge space on this floor, and everything around it was empty.
This turtle is as black as ink, with a very long neck and limbs. What's weird is that on its slender neck is a feminine and fierce woman's face, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, soft edges on the facial features, and an expression on her face. The smile is not a smile, much like some mysterious and terrifying thangka figures in Tibetan culture, and the ends of the turtle's first two claws are still in the shape of human hands.
And the strange thing is that no matter which direction they move or how they move, the face they see is always face to face with you, and the expression is constantly changing, twisted and weird, and those narrow and malicious eyes are always looking at you. , staring at it makes people feel unstoppable.
"what's the situation?"
"Is this another hallucination caused by some mechanism?"
It can be seen that the poisonous gas pool in the cave has left a deep psychological shadow on everyone in the Huo family.
Zhang Zhuxun stretched out his hand and touched the stone turtle's face, and found that there were some small sunken edges under his fingertips. He then took a closer look and said, "It's interesting. This thing's face has been manipulated later."
As he spoke, he motioned to the Huo family to turn off the lights in their hands, leaving only the one in his own hand still on. Then he shined the flashlight up from Shi Gui's chin, and Shi Gui's entire face suddenly turned around. Turned over.
"You have all played with a kaleidoscope. The reason why this thing can change its face is the same as that of a kaleidoscope. It relies on the mirror of light to refract the things inside. You can imagine that this stone turtle face is composed of many delicate and small kaleidoscopes. , that’s why he looks like he’s always staring at people.”
The curious Huo family members moved their eyes over to take a closer look, and said with surprise: "Mother, this damn thing seems to be really like this."
Huo Xiaoli had climbed onto the back of the human-faced turtle and shouted: "Master Yu, come and see, there is something on the back of this big turtle."
Zhang Zhuoxun also climbed up and saw that there was a dent in the black turtle shell on the back of the turtle, and inside was a charcoal black ball the size of a basketball.
Huo Xiaoli picked it up with his fingers and found that the black ball could move, so he picked it up with both hands and planned to take a closer look.
As a result, when I looked at it, I came face to face with a human face.
"Oh my God!"
Huo Xiaoli trembled all over and immediately let go and jumped to the side. The black ball rolled off the stone turtle and fell to the ground, hitting the wooden floor with a loud metal clang.
Everyone was startled by him and stared at the black ball on the ground as if they were in danger, fearing that it was a bomb that suddenly exploded.
Zhang Zhuxun was speechless, "Why are you so startled? You are a big young man, can't you act more calmly?"
Huo Xiaoli's face turned pale and he said with a grimace: "That thing is very light, it seems to be a human head. No, I saw more than one face. This... this thing can't be made by peeling off a person's face and sewing them together." Bar?"
Zhang Zhuoxun jumped off the stone turtle, looked closely at the black sphere the size of a basketball, stood on tiptoes to test the weight, and then mocked unceremoniously: "You don't have much courage, but you have quite an idea." The big one even has a skinned human face, it’s just a clay ball covered with a layer of metal, and all the human faces on it are carved out.”
The little brother seemed to recognize what this thing was, and said three words calmly, "Shi Renguo."
Huo Xiaoli turned his back and stared in disbelief, "What? A cannibal country?"
Zhang Zhuxun rolled his eyes angrily, "I asked you to study more, but you have to pretend to be a pig, a descendant of Shennong's Yan Emperor from the Kingdom of Ren."
It is said that the clay dolls used by Shennong's people's country have human faces and turtle bodies. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Hainan Nei Jing" mentions, "The country of Shennong's people is in Jianmuxi. They have human faces and fish bodies and no legs." In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, The people of the country are the descendants of Emperor Yan.
The Song Dynasty's "Taiping Yulan" quoted from "Customs" said that when the world was opened, there were no people, and Nuwa rolled loess to make people.
Later, it was said that Nuwa used a rope to throw yellow mud to create many people. These primitive people lived in groups, polygamous, and reproduced in chaos. In order to make fertility clear, Nuwa asked each group living in the cave to make dolls to count. quantity.
At that time, the clay dolls used by Shennong's Yan Emperor's Shiren Kingdom had a human face and a turtle body. Later, this human-faced turtle body statue became the national emblem of the Shiren Kingdom.
Zhang Zhuxun suddenly remembered that the two-headed magnetic turtle they dug up under the Spiritual Hall of Yunding Tiangong had a pattern engraved on its body that was a woman's face. It was hard to say whether there was any connection between them.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Overseas Eastern Classic" records this sentence, "Eastern Jumang has a bird body and a human face, riding on two dragons." In mythology and legend, Jumang is the god of spring, also called the wood god, who controls the growth of spring vegetation.
The shape of Yuren Jumang is that of a human-faced bird, which reminded him of the human-faced bird outside the bronze door. Taking a closer look, he found that the details of this stone turtle were also seen on the stone walls of Yunding Tiangong and Queen Mother Kingdom. The previous statue of a human-faced bird is very similar.
Looking at the turtle with a human face in front of him, Zhang Chuxun not only doubted his life, but could it be that the ancestors of the Zhang family dug this thing out of a super tomb in the Three Emperors period of ancient times and put it here as a decoration?
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but say "fuck", it's not impossible to be a special girl.
As the most primitive family of tomb robbers, the Zhang family has probably visited all the ancient tombs that can be entered in the world. They have brought out the secrets about the ultimate records inside and sealed them all in this ancient family building.
When Zhang Zhu was looking around the human-faced turtle, one of the Huo family members suddenly exclaimed, "Holy shit, look, what's that dark thing on top?"
After hearing this, everyone turned on their lights and looked up, and they were immediately shocked when they saw it.
The ceiling on this floor is ridiculously higher than the previous two floors. There are a lot of beams evenly and regularly interspersed above them, forming a huge chessboard-like structure above their heads.
Seeing many things hanging in the shadows of the beams in the checkerboard grid, some people couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "What is hanging on top of this? Is it a fairy fruit?" As he said this, he wanted to take a gun and shoot down one of them to have a look.
"Bullshit fairy fruit." Zhang Zhuxun looked at him coldly and said, "That damn thing is the tomb of our Zhang family. If you dare to knock it down, I will twist off your head and hang it up as a ginseng fruit. "
The Huo family member shrank his neck, quickly put away his gun, and laughed twice, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
Looking up, the boxes hanging in the shadows were large or small, with no fixed shapes and different patterns. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of boxes, which looked quite shocking and extremely spectacular. .
Someone couldn't help but hissed, "Damn it, if all the equipment here is manpower, it would be at least tens of thousands of people. Are there so many people in the Zhang family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone with clear eyes answered, "Are you stupid? The materials of these boxes are different from old to new. It is obvious that they were hung at different times. Whose death will kill ten thousand people at once? They are punished by God. It won’t be so serious, it will be a disaster of genocide.”
Zhang Zhuxun and his younger brother were both silent. To a certain extent, the Zhang family had really experienced the disaster of genocide, but it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
The empty Tezuka shells that were seen scattered on the ground in the front left room of the auxiliary building were probably knocked down from here, and the hands inside were probably taken to their territory by the Chen Qing Sect for research.
The Huo family looked around and found that there were no other clues except Ten Thousand Tombs and the Human-faced Turtle, so they spontaneously started looking for a way to the upper level.
When Zhang Zhuoxun and the two of them looked at the Tezuka above their heads, the Huo family had already found the entrance based on past experience.
Huo Xiaoli took the black ball full of human faces that he had left behind and put it back on the turtle shell. Then he waved to Zhang Zhuoxun, "Master Yu, come here quickly. We have found the stairs."
Zhang Zhuxun turned around and saw that a part of the stone bricks on the east wall just stretched out, forming an upward stone staircase.
"Brother, let's go." He said.
This floor has been transformed into a wooden fence again. Like many towers, there are many compartments and corridors inside. All compartments have closed doors and windows. The window lattice carvings are uniform and neat, and they are covered with a special layer of black. Tissue paper, this alkali-resistant paper feels very similar to oil paper.
From the appearance, the ceilings of these compartments do not overlap with the ceiling, but are covered with separate lids. They are more than one meter apart from the top, just like large coffins arranged one by one, with length and width The high specifications are very uniform, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder feels physically and mentally comfortable after watching it.
Walking up the stairs, a faint blue fluorescence spreads throughout the space. Looking up, I find that the top of the treasure is inlaid with many luminous pearls the size of a child's fist, extending like a blue Danube star. further afield.
There were many people who exclaimed with salivation, but looking at the distance, the height from bare feet to the top of the compartment was more than four meters, so they had no choice but to stop eating. Unless they could mutate the kangaroo gene, they could jump to the top of the compartment. superior.
But this was impossible. Before they could jump on, their heads were already kicking the ball under their feet. Zhang Shuxun could guarantee this.
Taking a few steps forward, Zhang Zhuxun tried to push the door of one of the compartments, and found that it was locked with a latch from the inside. In other words, the door of this compartment could only be entered and exited once. Then, the moment the door is closed, the small rotating shaft inserted in the door will activate and the door will be stuck.
But this was not a problem for Zhang Zhuxun. If he couldn't open the lock, he just removed the door from the frame.
The structures between these wooden buildings are all traditional mortise and tenon structures, which can be easily dismantled if you know the tricks.
Zhang Zhu looked for the eyelet under the door shaft, inserted the tip of a short knife to push out the tenon embedded inside, and quickly removed the bottom of one side of the door frame. The upper eyelet was a little more time-consuming because it was small and The top beam was connected together, and six small tenons were pried off in a row, and the entire bearing was removed.
Then he held the wooden door and carefully pushed it inside, and the double door turned into a single door.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, which looked very similar to alkali powder. The Huo family hesitated a little, but saw Zhang Zhuxun and his younger brother walking straight in. After walking around the coffin, they stood aside In front of the wall.
The space inside is not large, about three square meters at most. There is a large black wooden coffin in front of it. The wall behind it, facing the head of the coffin, is covered with wooden plaques written with dense text, all of which are square Chinese characters in small seal script. Written epitaph.
It can be seen from the epitaph that the people who can be assigned a small cubicle here are all very powerful people in the Zhang family and have made outstanding contributions to the family.
For example, the Zhang family in this compartment is a very capable person in the chessboard Zhang branch of the 34th generation Zhang family. His name is Zhang Shengqing. He was born in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and lived for more than 170 years. He did not die at the end of his life. , but died in a fire.
According to the content on these small wooden plaques, it can be seen that Zhang Shengqing's life was very exciting, and his contributions throughout his life were written all over the wall. However, this person finally died in North Korea, when the border conflict was at its most intense. This man was one of the great heroes who was shrouded in horse leather and was later brought back by his tribe to be buried here.
His contribution to the family was behind his life. In addition to all kinds of strange rhetoric, the wooden sign mentioned his parents the most. The contributions made by his parents were also very brilliant. "There are countless graves and numerous incomes." , in order to establish the Zhu family's empire and make a lot of profits, with these two achievements, he hid it in the tomb."
This means that Zhang Shengqing's parents were very powerful. They had robbed countless ancient tombs in their lives. The things they got from them were very important. They also helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the Ming Dynasty and brought many benefits to the family. They made countless achievements. Zhang Shengqing and her parents deserved to be buried here because of their contributions.
"Holy shit..." Zhang Shuxun couldn't hide his amazement. Could this "defining the Zhu family's empire" be referring to Zhang Renfu, the rebel general in the late Yuan Dynasty? No, no, this man died in the Battle of Longwan. He died too early. He is not even among the ten generals who founded the country.
Who could that be?
To be honest, there are still many generals under Lao Zhu named Zhang who are good at arranging troops and fighting.
