Chapter 22: Underground (2)
In the dry well, there was a dead silence.
Breathing heavily. Everyone couldn't believe it, and Xiao Qi, who was standing at the door, felt like listening to a book from heaven. How, how...... This is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
And in this disbelief, there is a kind of awe of the unknown, and a fiery expectation for the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the first tomb of the ages! None of the current science can open the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, once they can find a way...... This value is by no means comparable to exploration!
They are probably fighting against the Emperor of the Ages 2,000 years ago, as well as the entire design team that built his cemetery, skilled craftsmen, feng shui masters, and strange people!
"Moreover, there are too many mysteries in the history of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor itself." Jiang Xian turned around and walked outside: "It's a big matter, let's go out first." This mercury keeps flowing downwards and is not very safe. β
At the moment when he turned around, there was a loud bang. A huge dragon stone fell suddenly, and the road to the future was completely blocked!
"What's going on?" "How so?" "Xiao Qi, did you run into something!"
Suddenly, several exclamations sounded in the well. Xiao Qi at the door was stunned. raised his head and looked at everyone in astonishment, and said in a trembling voice: "No...... IβI didn't move anything......"
Now is not the time to look for responsibility...... All eyes were on Jiang Xian, and he had the obligation to lead the team by gathering everyone with the righteousness of the people on the mountain and sea road. It is also obligatory to take all the beards out of the country.
"The Yama Eye has activated, and the mechanism of the entire tomb has been activated. Although we are in front of the door, there are also mechanisms here! Jiang Xian quickly finished speaking, his eyes quickly swept over the audience, and he shouted without reservation: "Put the rope!" β
There were naturally people at the mouth of the well, and when they heard his voice, they were stunned, and only after two seconds did they say suspiciously: "Captain Chu? β
"I'm letting you put the rope!! Fast! You're deaf, aren't you!! Chu Ziyi shouted anxiously.
Although I don't know what kind of mechanism it is, if it is facing the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, it must be judged with the greatest danger.
There was a sudden panic above. And at this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "Bring ...... I'm going ......"
This was followed by a violent cough.
Someone?
Everyone was stunned.
Escapist villages, terrifying plants under dry wells, deformed villagers...... Is there still a living person in this situation? And they didn't even find out?
"Who?" The eight-armed arhat turned around abruptly, his eyes wide and looked around: "Come out and speak." β
"Ahem......" The voice seemed to be trying all its strength: "I...... Over here...... Take me away! β
Jiang Xian rushed over in one step, and found that there were too many tree roots piled up in the corner of a wall, and he had just swept his gaze here before. But I didn't expect that this place is hollow!
Between the clumps of tree roots, there is a living person locked up!
Through the gaps in the roots of the tree, he couldn't see clearly, only that it was an old man. Very skinny, almost skinny. With hair dishevelled. The clothes became strips of cloth. There was horror and pleading in his eyes that flashed vaguelyβJiang Xian couldn't even tell if he was a deformed person.
It was as if he knew what he was thinking. The old man said hoarsely, "I...... Yes, yes...... The people of the village ......"
"The only one...... People who are not deformed...... Help me!! β
The last three words, he shouted almost with all his might. Jiang Xian immediately nodded to the side, and Hong Siniang stretched out her white hand and grabbed it suddenly, revealing the green tendons on the back of her hand. With a loud bang, the roots of the tree were pulled down!
"Uh......h "Seeing the scene outside, the old man seemed to be trying to stand up, but he couldn't stand up at all....... He fell down greedily, wept and crawled on the ground, and at last, he began to cry.
"Woooooooooo......oo Ahhh The old tears were rampant, Jiang Xian grabbed the other party, only to find that the other party's height was probably less than one meter six. Skinny, the whole person doesn't know if there are fifty pounds.
"Hold on to me!" He put the old man on his back, and the rope had already hung down from the mouth of the well. He grabbed it, pulled it hard, and the two of them slowly went up.
"Let's go...... Come on! "The long-lost freedom seems to have regained some vitality for the old man. He pointed down tremblingly: "This is ...... Black Mandala Xenomorph ......"
Black Mandala ...... Jiang Xian's brows furrowed, this name is somewhat familiar.
"It's a foreign death flower...... The old man grabbed Jiang Xian's clothes tightly, and Jiang Xian could even feel the trembling of the other party's body: "Here...... There is a sulphur mine...... The black mandala is rooted above, and its body is ...... Full of brimstone ......"
His voice was low, but it did not affect the hearing of many masters on the scene. When everyone heard this, they instantly felt the cold hairs on their backs stand up.
The black mandala is filled with sulfur and mercury flows from the dragon's mouth...... All it takes is a spark, and then there's a big bang!
Explosions don't kill people?
It's not scary, it's scary...... Sulfur, mercury, combined with high temperatures, produce ......
Arsenic, frost!
And highly toxic air!
Whoever it is, will be suffocated here!
"...... down here" The old man took a breath and looked down with palpitations: "There is a tinder ......"
"It'...... It's called the Everlasting Lantern ......"
"I've seen it in books...... Also called...... cough cough cough ...... Also called, Yama Eye ......"
Everyone's eyes looked at their feet in horror. A few seconds later, Ling Xiaozi gasped: "Fortunately...... Thankfully......"
Fortunately, they were ancients who did not yet know the horror of mercury.
In his mind, he had already completed some pictures of the whole story: here, it should be an entrance to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. The mausoleum keepers are here to watch. As soon as anyone stepped into this place, Yama's eyes lit up, followed by a series of killing moves that intensified the poison of the fire.
However, the ancients knew the toxicity of mercury, the refining of arsenic and frost, and the soil to isolate mercury. But what they don't know is that mercury and sulphur are enough to affect the surrounding ecosystem!
Therefore, after a few generations, the mausoleum keepers may have mutated. Over the generations, they slowly lost their minds and ceased to look like humans. They couldn't remember the main point, so they built the well here.
In their subconscious, they may only vaguely remember that "this is important", but they don't know how it is important. That's why I knelt down and worshiped the dry well every night. This is also their only way to live.
"Hurry up if you have the surname Jiang!!" Thinking of this, Ling Xiaozi couldn't help but roar at the wellhead: "Let them have more people to pull!" β
Jiang Xian didn't have time to beep with the other party at this time, and the speed of pulling was not slow, but on the line of life and death, it didn't feel fast enough. Just after he was finally pulled out of the well, he looked at the people around him with red eyes: "What about people?!" β
"You only know how to take one rope?! Keep taking it...... Damn, it's too late! He threw the old man at the man next to him: "Take care of him!" Don't let him leave you! β
Then he took off his clothes without hesitation and yelled at the other exploration team members: "What are you looking at? Take off! β
"And you! Keep pulling! β
Several camouflage uniforms were quickly knotted, and he threw them into the bottom of the well without hesitation. At this moment, the whole village suddenly trembled.
It's like an earthquake. The ground shook slightly. Jiang Xian's heart was cold, and at the same time, his adrenal glands soared. He knew that this was the "lighter" below that was starting to kick in.
Two thousand years have passed, and I am afraid that the burning is not so fast...... The rest of the time is absolutely measured in seconds!
At the same time, he felt the rope of his clothes sinking, and immediately pulled up desperately, and he didn't have time to say a word.
Carrara ...... Fortunately, this is camouflage, and the rest of the clothes have long been torn. But even in military camouflage, the clothes are crumbling straight. Jiang Xian gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and the muscles of his whole body bulged. From between his teeth, he yelled, "Help...... Busy!! β
Almost at the same time, several other hands were also pulling on camouflage, and at the same time, someone in the back was quickly lengthening the rope of the garment. Immediately, someone grabbed the elongated part and pulled it up desperately.
Click, click...... The sound of the second hand sounded in the air. Jiang Xian stared at the rope, and at this moment, he couldn't even hear any sound in his ears. All attention was on the dark wellhead.
Soon, the second camouflage rope, the third...... All of them hung down, and next to the wellhead, the four teams of personnel were like a tug-of-war, pulling with all their might.
Boom ββ!!!
A dull loud bang suddenly came from below the village, and in the entire village, the small stones on the ground rose an inch in the air!
The death knell of the Grim Reaper has sounded...... Jiang Xian's forehead was bruised, and he let go of his throat and shouted: "Gas mask!" β
"Take out all the gas masks!! Buckle in everyone's face! Fast! Fast!! β
However, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, and at this time, the village ...... The doors of the houses were opened.
The villagers couldn't hide...... The less wisdom there is, the simpler it is, simply knowing that natural disasters can't be avoided. One by one, they walked out, looked around blankly, and finally ...... Fell on their "holy place" - next to the dry well.
"!!" Just as the villagers' eyes looked over, Jiang Xian almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. With red eyes, he shouted, "Go five more!" Bring your guns! Stop them!! β
One hand, already at the edge of the well. Ling Xiaozi crawled out in disgrace, and as soon as he came out, he exhaled: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable......"
Kaka Ka ...... Rumble!
A loud bang swallowed up his next words. Jiang Xian instinctively looked back, only to see that the entire village was covered with cracks, and it was spreading towards the well!
These cracks grew rapidly, and the naked eye saw that they became cracks one after another, and pieces of yellow earth slid down. Followed by...... A wave of fire burst out!
Brush ββ! In an instant, the waves of fire rushed to a height of several meters. When you come into contact with oxygen, you will rush to more than ten meters in an instant!
As if Zhu Rong had descended into the world, the waves of fire spread wildly along the cracks throughout the village. Immediately after, there were several loud bangs, and the village ...... It has entered the eve of the collapse.
It's too late......
Jiang Xian pulled up Chu Ziyi, who had climbed up, and looked at the red Siniang and the eight-armed Arhat below, and was in a dilemma for a while.
"Hands!!" Hong Siniang suddenly shouted. Jiang Xian instinctively stretched out his hand. At the same time, Hong Siniang was behind her waist, and an old-fashioned cigarette stick came out in response, and the cigarette holder was a faucet with crutches, which hung firmly in Jiang Xian's hand.
"!" Jiang Xian scolded, his whole body sank down suddenly, and the weight of the two people hung on his arm. The muscles of his hand ached in an instant.
One up and down, through the well, life and death are connected, as if heaven and hell are looking at each other from afar.
In the next second, Hong Siniang took a deep breath, and her whole body suddenly bulged. The weight hanging on Jiang Xian's arm almost completely disappeared. pinched a dry tobacco pouch and hung an upside-down golden hook, stretched out and bent his legs, and actually hung on the edge of the dry well.
Jiang Xian didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at the eight-armed Arhat below. At the same time, a white light suddenly flashed, shooting down accurately from the angle from which Hong Siniang had just been pulled up. Like a spiritual snake, it is firmly wrapped around Hong Siniang's arm.
It was Ling Xiaozi's dust.
The pressure on Jiang Xian's hand suddenly relaxed, and with all his strength, he shouted: "Get up!" β
The two sides worked hard, and they actually lifted up the 160-pound Hong Siniang!
At the moment when the other party's body was exposed to the mouth of the well, Jiang Xian had already seen it, and the other party's feet were full of flames. The fire burned the flesh, and the other party was able to hold back a word.
Boom ββ!!
There was no time to rejoice in the aftermath of the catastrophe, and a burst of flames, with a wave of white air, broke through the dry well and rushed out of the wellhead frantically. It's like a demon coming out!
And the whole village has been plunged into a cloudy white mist. In the cracks, flames and white mist rose into the sky, almost engulfing the entire village!
