Chapter 14: The Tomb of Nayun Bu Lao (Tao Yong)
We continued on the road with flashlights. This time I was in front of me. I was really afraid that something would happen again. Xiaoyao's red eyes didn't know how to deal with it. If something happened again, we should not steal our tomb. We would wait for death together.
After passing through the river that is not very deep, and then heading ashore at 500 meters ahead, the space became larger and larger, and it felt like the entire strata at the foot of the mountain was hollowed out.
Because it is too wide, the flashlight is shot inside, and there is no way to see too many situations. The flashlight is walking in the space, like a sharp sword.
After the Eighth Master got ashore, he looked around with a flashlight, looking a little anxious and uneasy like a novice.
"Eighth Master"
I called him, and the old man was so shocked that his body trembled. He suddenly turned around and looked at me, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Brother Mo."
I saw that he was very nervous and seemed to be full of inexplicable fear of this tomb.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Although this tomb is big, it is no different from the tombs you robbed. It's just that there are more mechanisms and more corpses."
I comforted.
However, Eighth Master’s nervousness is obviously not something I can do with just one sentence or two. Although he said it was okay and knew, his physical performance completely exposed him.
Gu Li was nothing. Xiaoyao was scared by the female corpse once and suddenly turned into a good baby. He almost took him wherever I took.
"Don't be nervous, don't let yourself be oppressed."
I told a few people again.
The most feared thing about getting a tomb is nervousness. Many tomb robbers do not die at the hands of the mechanism or from attacks by objects. Most of them are due to their own psychological effects, and there are many situations where they scare themselves to death.
Although they nodded, they still didn't work. I didn't say anything. At first I was quite scared, but if I was too scared, I wouldn't have anything left.
After we got ashore, there was a man-made passage in front of us, which was dug along the cracks in the stone wall. The width was about five or six meters and the height was about three meters, which met the requirements of the tomb of the king.
"This should be the beginning of the tomb, and we have accidentally struck the right path."
I shine the flashlight in the passage, took the lead in walking in front, and walked in.
The passage is not long, it looks about fifty or sixty meters long, and the exit is wide. However, this Qin tomb does not have the huge bronze doors as I imagined, but a row of neat pottery.
There are four rows of Tao Yong lost, twenty rows on each side, and there is a road in the middle leading to the next room.
The second row of Tao Yong was arranged face to face, just like a private waiting for the king to pass by the center. Each Tao Yong felt that there was no difference between it and a real person, and it was portrayed vividly. If it weren't for the bright colors, I would definitely see it as someone standing.
But this is not surprising. We discovered something particularly strange, that is, all Tao Yong has no upper body, just like he was cut off in half.
Eighth Master went up with a flashlight, looked carefully for a long time, and knocked Tao Yong with his hand. It was solid and the sound came very dull.
"Xiaoyao, have you seen this thing?"
I asked Xiaoyao. He glanced at him, then thought about it for a long time before he spoke: "This thing should be called a sinner."
"Sinner? What's the matter?"
I was full of doubts. Because I didn't understand Qin history, I didn't quite understand the meaning of the criminal minister in Xiaoyao's mouth.
After reading it, the Eighth Master listened to us discussing here and came over: "The young master said that the criminal minister was in Qin. If the minister violated the king's order, he would be cut in half, which means he would be cut in half. And you come and take a look at this."
After speaking, the Eighth Master turned around and took us to Tao Yong's side, and wiped the dust covered Tao Yong with his hands.
I saw a row of small seal characters carved on the side of Tao Yong. Xiaoyao leaned over and touched them with his hands, and said while touching them: "Sinner, Mingda!"
"Touch words and read texts?"
I was surprised and said that the old man mentioned this skill to me at the beginning. He said that some people are born with special talents in writing. As long as they use it reasonably and are proficient in writing, they can understand words. He said that only one person can do this skill in China now, and it turned out that it was his grandson Xiaoyao.
"Small meaning" Xiaoyao smiled proudly when he heard this, then clapped his hands and said, "The criminal minister, also known as the evil body, is the punishment of the king to ministers who violated his will. They usually cut them in half, then sew the upper body into the cowhide, and immerse the cowhide in the water. It is said that this way, the person who was punished can be refined into a puppet and let them continue to serve the king with their bodies. In the Huaxia Museum, Qin Shihuang appeared in the tomb. When it was first unearthed, I heard that it was buried at the door, which was the entrance of the tomb."
"Because archaeologists have no experience, they moved their bodies, causing a lot of storms, and naturally many people died."
"Is this thing dangerous?"
The Eighth Master was startled and jumped away from Tao Yong.
"It's okay. Only when we don't move them will no longer have any major problems. The owner of the tomb has placed the criminals here, which means we are not far from the entrance to the tomb.
"But Young Master Long, why should he put it at the door instead of in the burial pit?"
Gu Li spoke on one side.
Xiaoyao glanced at him, then pointed at Tao Yong, "I know what a human is worse than a dog. The tomb owner didn't even give them the position of the watchdog, which means that the position of the criminal minister is terrible!"
"Ao" Gu Li nodded without understanding, and stopped talking. I was not interested in these things. I had heard before that there were cases of living people making pottery in Qin Shihuang's tomb. Now it seems that the reason why the Qin Dynasty's pottery was so vivid is not without a reason.
"Let's keep going in?"
Xiaoyao asked.
"Are you going to stay here with them?"
"Then forget it." Xiaoyao quickly took a step back when he heard this, stood behind me with a bag on his back, and then said with a smile: "Follow Brother Jiu, eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
"You have to learn something by yourself. Brother Jiu can't bring you some fun and delicious food."
I gave that guy a blank look and wanted to treat me as a pawn, but there was no door. Xiaoyao was so embarrassed that I was glaring at me, but he just didn't come out from behind me.
After a few more glances at the half-body Tao Yong, we planned to continue walking in. To us, these Tao Yongs are just an appetizer for the tomb, and the wonderful things are still behind.
We carried things and walked the middle road, following the way, and walked in it with a bit of a king-like smell, but when we thought of the half-body corpses welcoming ourselves, we felt a chill.
After passing through Tao Yong half of our body, before we could continue walking in, Eighth Master suddenly stopped, looked forward with a flashlight, and his body trembled unvoluntarily again.
"What's wrong?"
I asked quickly and looked at the place where he was looking. There were a few pottery trees placed there, and there was no special place at all.
"Then Tao Yong, I moved, just now."
The Eighth Master stuttered. Hearing this, I quickly pulled him behind him, then shone the light of the flashlight on it, and they also gathered the light.
Tao Yong stood safely in the strong light. We watched for five or six minutes, but we didn't see Tao Yong moving at all.
"Master Eighth Master, don't be too nervous, relax"
I was shocked and turned around and said to Master Eighth.
However, he shook his head and kept saying that he was not wrong, saying that Tao Yong had really moved just now.
I didn't want to worry about this with him either. After comforting him, I took them forward and wanted to leave these cunning things as soon as possible.
But as soon as we reached the end of the placement of Tao Yong, a sudden sound of objects moving came from behind. We stopped together, and no one turned back.
"I just said, that thing moved."
Eighth Master whispered.
I quickly signaled to him, then raised my foot and took a step forward, then suddenly turned around and shone the light of the flashlight on Tao Yong behind me.
I immediately saw a Tao Yong moving quickly to the other side from the middle passage we were walking over.
I was shocked and quickly called them to retreat, but we took a step back and suddenly a roar came from behind. A stone door fell from the originally safe passage behind us, instantly blocking the road. At this moment, a soft cry came faintly in the space, resounding in any corner of the entire space.
