The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 450

I don't know why, the more I walked into the tomb, the more I felt that the surrounding temperature was dropping, and the fat man sneezed several times along the way.

When we walked forward for more than 20 meters, the surrounding walls were already covered with crystal clear ice cubes. These ice cubes have various shapes,

Various insects and fish are actually frozen in some ice cubes.

There was a Chinese sturgeon that was still jumping up, but it condensed there directly, supported only by a thin and long icicle, the scene was simply a spectacle.

"Where are we going? Why does it feel like we've entered a big ice cellar? Ding Dong, see if that's a fish." The fat man said with a cold breath.

I took a closer look and found that the tomb passage in front of me was completely blocked by ice, and I couldn't go any further, and the temperature dropped below zero, which was simply unbearable for ordinary people.Staying any longer, I'm afraid everyone present can't bear it except the fourth girl.

"Uncle Ming, what should we do now?" I asked Uncle Ming.

After all, Uncle Ming is a master who has visited countless tombs and has rich experience in wild survival. He knows these problems better than us.

"It's strange. How could there be so many ice blocks in Qin Shihuang's tomb? I have been stealing buckets for decades, but I have never seen such a weird tomb." Uncle Ming frowned and said, "But it's nothing, I Remember that there is still some solid fuel in everyone’s packages? Although there is not much left, it shouldn’t be too difficult to boil the ice cubes along the way.”

Uncle Ming's words made my eyes light up.

Solid fuel is the most important support in the team. It is used for food and lighting along the way, and it is not afraid even if it is soaked in water.Therefore, the amount we brought is still enough, and it just comes in handy now.

"That's right, and we can save some money. We just need to burn the ice cubes out of cracks and smash them with an engineer shovel." I nodded repeatedly.

Just do it, I took the lead, cut a piece of solid fuel with a dagger, carefully placed it on the ice, and then the fat man ran over to light the fire.

Suddenly, a blue flame burned, and thick white smoke rose from the darkness. Within a few minutes, the solid ice melted quickly, and we followed along while shoveling snow.

"No, if we advance at this speed, we will not have enough fuel even if we run out of fuel."

Uncle Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the map in his hand and said, he had already copied down the structure diagram of the tomb before, and now he looked at it and found that we had only walked half of the way in the tomb.But the remaining half of the road was covered with ice, and we would never be able to enter the main tomb with the little fuel in our hands.

"Stop, there seems to be something here!" I yelled.

In the corner of the tomb passage near the wall, I suddenly saw a big round bronze cauldron, surrounded by ice crystals.

I walked over to break the ice off the surface of the bronze tripod, and suddenly found a huge seal character engraved on the tripod: fire.Seeing the word 'fire', I was overjoyed. If nothing else, this should be a fire cauldron used for sacrifices in ancient times.

I have encountered similar things before. In Dayu's tomb, didn't the fourth girl also use corpse oil to light nine bronze candlesticks before entering the tomb?
Now seeing the fire cauldron in front of me, I immediately realized that this thing must be related to breaking the ice in the tomb passage!

I didn't even have time to explain it to everyone, so I threw a few pieces of solid fuel in my arms into the fire cauldron, and then lit it with a lighter. As the fire ignited, the Qin Dynasty's great cauldron, which had been sleeping for thousands of years, Immediately, it appeared flawlessly in front of us.

The shape of this tripod is simple and simple, the whole body is green, and the dense patterns on the body of the tripod are even more eye-catching.

But the fat man couldn't help cursing and said: "Li Dingdang, you don't have a fucking fever, right? It's not enough to open a road, and you still have time to defrost a broken pot? Isn't this a waste of a lot of fuel?"

"Try it! I think this tripod is the key to entering the main tomb." Looking at the dwindling solid fuel in everyone's hands, I also said with some headaches.

To be honest, I don't have any foundation in my heart now, but at this moment I can only bite the bullet and do it.

"During the Qin Dynasty, there was indeed a rule of burial with fire cauldrons. They believed that flames were the highest etiquette for princes and nobles. Forget it, I will also put my solid fuel into the fire cauldron! Let's see if anything unexpected happens. Change. If this method does not work, I am afraid that we will have to risk freezing to death and dig down with engineer shovels..."

Uncle Ming threw the solid fuel in his hand into the cauldron, and said with a wry smile.

With a puff, the flames in the cauldron suddenly rose to a height of more than half a meter, and sparks jumped everywhere.

The few of us held our breath and stared at the change of the cauldron.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I found that the fire character engraved on the cauldron is more vivid than before.

"Keep throwing fuel until it changes!" I yelled at the fat man with a heartbroken heart.

Now we are at the end of the road, and it is meaningless to save any fuel. According to the structure diagram of the tomb, even if we have several times more fuel in our hands, we will not be able to reach the main tomb.

The solid gasoline was thrown down one by one, and as time went by, my mood sank more and more to the bottom.

Everyone present had ugly expressions. In fact, the ice around the cauldron had already melted, and even the surface of the cauldron was burning red.If there is any mechanism here, after burning for so long, it should have been activated long ago...

Obviously I guessed wrong, maybe this is really just an ordinary funeral bronze tripod.

As the last piece of solid fuel was thrown into the cauldron, our mood dropped to freezing point.

"Think about whether there is another way." I said with a wry smile.

"What are you thinking? I said that these fuels should not be wasted, but you just don't listen! Now it's all right, and there's nothing to keep warm, so we'll just wait to freeze to death." The fat man rolled his eyes and cursed.

I shook my head, ignoring the fat man's abuse. In fact, I was also very depressed inside. I really shouldn't be so desperate.

As the fire cauldron was gradually extinguished, I felt like a deflated ball. I sat on the ground limply, buried my head deeply in the crook of my arms, and didn't dare to look up to meet everyone's eyes.

The fourth girl came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Ding Dong, thank you! Don't feel bad, there must be other ways."

Feeling the heat exhaled by the fourth girl, my heart felt better.

boom!
Before I could speak, suddenly, a pillar of fire burst out from the cauldron behind us. The huge pillar of fire absorbed a large amount of oxygen and instantly illuminated half of the tomb passage.

Immediately afterwards, the pillar of fire began to spread into the depths of the tomb passage, and in just a few minutes, hundreds of blazing fire lines were laid out on the ice layer.

boom!
At a place about ten meters away from the fire pillar, a dazzling flame exploded again, the second fire cauldron!

Then, the third one!the fourth!the fifth!

The flames soaring into the sky made our faces red, and the ice cubes melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The white mist produced after the ice melted was so vast that it made us blind.

In the long and narrow tomb passage, the nine fire cauldrons are burning with scorching flames, like nine suns in the sky, releasing the energy they have accumulated for thousands of years!
