Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 73 Bronze Statue

"I'll go and have a look." Miss Qiu put down the jug, casually carried her strange big bag on her back, and jumped into the grave.

I pointed to Miss Qiu's slightly flushed face, and asked her if she looked drunk, could she still go?
"You don't know, sister Qiu must be drunk when doing things, don't mess with her at this time, it is much more terrifying than her in a sober state." Yazai laughed.

Ms. Qiu must have heard his words, she turned her head and brushed her hair charmingly: "Do you want to be with my sister?"

Yazai quickly waved his hand and said, "With Sister Qiu on the job, how can I be used?"

"Aqiu, wait." Just as Miss Qiu was about to approach the robbery cave, Lao Yan raised his hand: "Is that Kumbu's Shadow Gu?"

Sure enough, when Lao Yan pointed, he saw the fingernail-sized insect with white flowers on a black background crawling around the entrance of the hole. For some reason, I could see that it was a little flustered.

After taking a look, Lao Yan immediately made a decision, turned his head and said to Professor Chen: "We will go in for a while, you stay outside and don't let others get close, and don't move no matter what happens before we come out, understand?"

He was obviously very urgent, so there was an order in his tone, and Professor Chen nodded in a daze.Lao Yan was dissatisfied with his state, so he raised his voice and asked if he understood?The latter immediately stood at attention and said loudly that he understood, and he was satisfied.

"Be careful, this Shadow Gu is here to take us in, and I don't know what happened to Kumbu." Lao Yan jumped into the grave first, and after we all followed behind him, he gave a serious order.

Seeing that we had all come down, the little insect turned around and crawled in. I was taken aback for a while by looking spiritual.

Ms. Qiu lowered her body and entered the robbery hole first with the jug in hand. Her slender legs and her half-kneeling appearance made her look even hotter. Ya Zai and Lao Yan followed behind him, and I was in charge of breaking the back.

The inside of the burrow was pitch black, and we could see the surroundings clearly only with a flashlight. The hole looked like it was made by skilled hands, with the same width and narrowness, and the edge of the burrow was also very smooth.

But I didn't look at it carefully, after all, in the robbery cave, the Shadow Gu is almost integrated with the surroundings, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it, so most of our eyes are on it.

Shadow Gu moved so fast that we had to use our hands and feet to barely keep up with it.

After advancing about ten meters, the robbery cave gradually became wider, and the height was enough for us to stand up straight. I looked at the surrounding tomb walls and realized that it was connected to the tomb.

Shadow Gu stopped suddenly.

Miss Qiu squatted down, swept around where it stopped and said, "There are bloodstains just left!"

"Kumbu was injured?" Lao Yan said in disbelief, and the boy beside him also looked shocked. Obviously, Kumbu's injury was a very unbelievable thing for them.

"No, he is leading the way." Miss Qiu's hands were stained with blood: "It seems that the next Luying Gu can't be taken."

After finishing speaking, she got up and clapped her hands, turned her head and said with excitement: "It seems that the next step should be very interesting, after all, the path that even Shadow Gu can't lead must be extremely dangerous!"

I looked at the road ahead in puzzlement, the distance ahead was only five or six meters, and then there was a corner, how could Shadow Gu not be able to take this road?

But what Miss Qiu said was right, the Shadow Gu stopped moving when it arrived here, and shrank in the corner rubbing its head with its little feet, looking a little scared.

Lao Yan frowned even tighter: "What's inside?"

"You'll know if you go and have a look." Miss Qiu took another sip of wine, as if she didn't care about the danger at all.

Lao Yan looked at her worriedly. I thought Lao Yan was afraid that something would happen to her, but I didn't expect Lao Yan to ask her to relax and not to damage the things in the tomb.

Miss Qiu ignored him, and walked quickly along the direction of the blood.

"It's weird..." Miss Qiu turned the corner first, and before we could catch up, she ran back again with an incredulous expression on her face.

Lao Yan asked her what was wrong, and she pointed to the road around the corner, saying that there was no blood there.

Lao Yan turned around and took a few steps, and when he came back, his expression became gloomy: "So, the bloodstain is broken here?"

"It's not broken." I just felt my scalp go numb, and pointed to the tomb wall in front of me: "Look there, is there a bloodstain?"

The bloodstain was in the middle of the tomb wall, but if you didn't pay attention, you would think it was just a dark spot with a lighter color.

I didn't pay attention to it just now, but when they all said that there was no bloodstain behind the corner, I realized that this black spot was the same color as the last bloodstain we saw, but because it was in the middle, we all subconsciously ignored it.

Ms. Qiu walked over and wiped the black spots, and immediately a reddish mark appeared on her fingers, and her complexion also changed: "How can the blood stains be here?"

We looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally the boy said in a nasty voice, "Could it be that... he went in from here?"

After speaking, he pushed the wall of the tomb, and immediately felt that his idea was ridiculous, touched his nose and retreated.

But I think what he said is quite right, Shadow Gu can't lead the way, forcing Kumbu to use only blood, then this place must be weird.Otherwise, if it has always been this kind of tomb passage that allows a few of us to stand up and run, it makes no sense for Shadow Gu to stop at such a distance.

So I took a few steps forward, tapped on the wall of the tomb, and shook my head at Lao Yan with a solemn expression: "There should be no mechanism..."

Lao Yan frowned, and didn't care that he was still in the tomb, so he took out a cigarette and lit it, but he put it down after only two puffs. Burned back to God.

He reached out and touched the blood, then looked up and said, "He's gone up."

"Go up?" I followed his line of sight and saw a bloodstain, which made me feel even more strange.According to the current height, the horizontal line we are at should be similar to the tomb pit, and the height above is only three to five meters at most. Is it possible that there is something?
The top was not too high, and I could touch it by raising my hand. I immediately knocked around the bloodstain, but the sound came from nothing.

"It's empty." I hurriedly turned my head to the old chimney.

Lao Yan gave a grunt, and then worked together with me to find the mechanism, but Miss Qiu said impatiently that it would be better to blow it up if it is so troublesome.

We all ignored her, after all we all knew that was all she said.

"Old Yan, move your hand half an inch to the left!" Yazai said suddenly.

Lao Yan carefully moved half an inch according to the words, and then pressed three times under the guidance of Yazai, then moved his hand to the right an inch, and pressed four times.Just like that, we pressed it all around, and we heard a click, and above our heads, a brick about half a foot square was slowly moved away, and a smell similar to realgar came out.

Lao Yan said with a funny smile: "No wonder Shadow Gu dare not come over, this time the kunbu is a shipwreck in the gutter, realgar is really rare in the tomb."

Realgar can indeed repel poisonous snakes, insects and ants. It is reasonable to say that it is very suitable for use in tombs.

Because the Shadow Gu didn't dare to come, I always thought there was something terrifying in front of me, but now I smell the realgar, I am relieved.

Immediately, I was a little curious, how did the boy know how this mechanism was opened?He laughed and said, he and Professor Xu have learned the mechanism principle for a long time, just now he just felt that this place was somewhat similar to what he had learned, but he didn't expect to hit it by mistake.

Lao Yan patted Yazai on the shoulder: "That's right, I didn't let your master teach you for nothing."

Miss Qiu ignored our conversation, but quickly took out a climbing rope from her bag, threw it on it, and she climbed up quickly, calling us to hurry up impatiently.

We climbed up one by one along her rope, she took the rope, looked around, and said: "It's interesting, I didn't expect to gain something just after entering the mountain!"

After we stood still, we understood what she was talking about. The place we were in was an extended tomb passage, and there was a standing bronze statue about two meters high every one meter on both sides of the tomb passage.

There are a dozen or so that can be seen, but I don't know how many more are hidden in the darkness ahead.

These standing portraits don't look like people from the Central Plains, and the outlines are even deeper than people from the Western Regions...

"Aren't these the ones in the Sanxingdui ruins?" Yazai looked at the standing statue in front of him in shock, and immediately took out his camera from his bag and rushed to the nearest bronze statue to take a few photos from various angles, and then He took out a notebook to record something, and muttered: "Go back and show it to the master, hehe, let's see if he will regret it if he doesn't come."

Lao Yan and I looked at each other, and said quietly: "You won't hit us by mistake and go directly into the tomb of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"
