Yang Huo Deng

Chapter 55

Is there any difference between the behavior of these mercenaries and the tomb robbers?They went all the way to enter the Yin tomb undoubtedly with an unknown purpose. Before, Yue Zhou thought they were coming for the gold, silver and jewels in the tomb, but now it seems that they are not interested in the jewels on the mermaid stone lamps at all. Interest, if you are afraid of being caught on fire by the mermaid lamp, you shouldn't. After all, people die for money, and birds die for food. That's right, but these mercenaries are really not interested in the jewelry on the stone lamp, and they don't even take a second look.

So what is the purpose of these people coming here?Yue Zhou glanced at the carvings on the wall from the corner of his eye, smiled wryly and thought: Ha, it must be because of that female fairy, right?

The emperors on the eight murals were written with too little brush and ink, making it difficult to identify their identities and dynasties. Moreover, the content of these murals is bizarre, basically not authentic, and cannot provide any effective information. After there were no other valuable things in the front room, the archaeological team walked through the middle stone road illuminated by mermaid oil lamps on both sides, and walked to the corridor ahead. The layout of the tomb, according to the instructions on her layout map, go straight to the end along this tomb passage, the largest tomb is the main tomb, and there is no need to bother to go into other ear chambers to explore, as shown in the layout map In the center of the main tomb, there was a vague rectangular black shadow, which should be the coffin where the owner of the tomb was buried, so everyone walked straight to the main tomb on the opposite side of the corridor.

Just when the members of the archaeological team walked out of the front room and stepped onto the floor tiles of the corridor, they heard a few sudden loud noises behind them.

A few people at the end of the line looked back suddenly, and saw that the eight mermaid oil lamps suddenly rose to a high level, and then the oil lamps at the entrance of the tomb suddenly went out one by one!

Everyone watched the oil lamps go out one by one, the light in the tomb became less and less, and the dark places became more and more, until the two closest oil lamps in front of them also went out, and they were completely eroded by the darkness. Suddenly, there was a sudden darkness in front of my eyes, which made people panic.

With a soft 'pop', someone turned on a bright flashlight, bringing the first light in the darkness, and everyone felt a little relieved.

The archaeological team had just gotten used to the mermaid oil lamps in the front room, and almost forgot that they still had a flashlight. As one person turned on the flashlight, others also turned on their flashlights to shine on the mermaid oil lamps. The bright flashlight illuminated the empty tomb clearly. After all the mermaid oil lamps were extinguished, wisps of white smoke slowly rose from the hollow of the stone lamps. The white smoke had a strong fishy smell. Even though everyone was wearing dust masks, they couldn't completely block the smell.

"What's going on?" Someone asked, "Didn't it mean that the mermaid oil lamp will go out only when there is no air in the tomb?"

Someone else said: "Could it be that I stepped on some mechanism!"

Strange to say, several people were killed by many traps before entering the Yin Tomb. It is unbearable that they have not encountered traps since entering the Yin Tomb.

Xie Chun looked down at the stone bricks in the corridor under his feet, there was no difference from the stone bricks in the front room.

Quicksand and flying arrows are indispensable in traps in ancient tombs. If you step on the trap, there should be flying arrows shooting out from both sides of the corridor. This corridor is similar to the width of the previous tomb passage. A hedgehog, I was worried about such a mechanism before, so Brother Han asked everyone to walk sideways, and used the bulging outdoors on their backs to form a sandbag circle to prevent flying arrows, but now the two sides of the corridor are quiet. Quiet, it doesn't look like a trigger mechanism. What kind of mechanism is it that those mermaid oil lamps behind me suddenly go out?Wouldn't it be the good tradition of following people's departure and lights out?

This Yin tomb is really weird everywhere.

The mercenary walking in the front took a flashlight and shone in front of the dark and straight corridor, and made a questioning sound of "Huh".

"What's wrong?" Brother Han immediately asked cautiously in Yin's tomb, not to be taken lightly.

"I seem to... well, I probably misunderstood it," the mercenary hesitated to speak.

"Speak clearly, don't stop talking halfway," Luo Qing said anxiously.

The mercenary looked forward again with a flashlight on the corridor in front of him, and said hesitantly, "I seem to have seen a shadow swaying past just now."

"What kind of shadow?" Brother Han asked.

"It's quite small, like a child."

When the others heard this, their scalps felt numb. The ancient tomb was gloomy, and the dead were buried. The most important thing was the ghost of the dead, and they immediately raised their flashlights to shine forward, and several flashlights shone at the same time. In the corridor ahead, there is no blind spot in the straight corridor, but the corridor is empty, there is nothing, where is the shadow of the child?

"I saw it from the corner of my eye just now, and the photo disappeared, so I must have misread it," the mercenary explained. Others also accepted this statement. After all, it's scary to scare yourself.

Brother Han ordered to be vigilant, and the group continued to walk along the corridor. After walking through the corridor, they discovered another strange thing about Yin's tomb.

The ear chamber, as the name suggests, is located on both sides of the main room just like the ears. For the living, the ear chamber is often used as a warehouse. When the owner of the tomb died, he felt that the mausoleum was his house, so the use is not much different, and it is used to store the burial There are usually two ear chambers in the tombs of the nobles, and there are more than two ear chambers in the tombs of the sacrificial objects. The door, but when everyone walked into the corridor, they found that there were no tomb doors in the ear chambers on both sides of the corridor, and they were all wide open, waiting for someone to enter. When the flashlight shone in, they saw the golden light shining inside. , They were all piled up with gold, silver and jewels! !Even if these treasures have waited here for thousands of years to be covered with floating dust, they are still gorgeous and dazzling when illuminated by a flashlight!Everyone was dazzled by the reflection of gold, silver and jewelry, their faces were golden, Luo Qing pushed his glasses, and said stupidly: "Who can resist this..."

"Well, there must be poison on these jewels," Wei Yufei looked straight at it.

Quenching poison on tomb objects is a common anti-theft method used by tomb owners. Once those tomb robbers are distracted by gold and silver and go to take tomb objects, they will stay in the tomb forever and become another burial object for the tomb owner.

"Toxic is worth it..." Luo Qing said foolishly, "This is what people die for money."

The two of them responded one by one, expressing the thoughts of everyone present.

If the jewels and gemstones on the mermaid oil lamp are too dangerous so no one dares to think about it, the piles of gold and silver in front of you are too visually impactful, directly paralyzing the human brain and making people lose all reason. Even if these gold, silver and jewels are poisonous, it is one of the ideals of many people to die in the endless money!

The scene in front of them was like a dream, and everyone couldn't help but stop. They couldn't bear to take their eyes off the gold, silver and jewels for even a second. Even the mercenaries stared obsessively at the piles of treasures in the ear room. What's more, Luo Qing and Wei Yufei, who are just ordinary people, are gone?Luo Qing and Wei Yufei stared straight away, pushed away the mercenaries blocking in front of them, and walked towards the gold, silver and jewels in the ear room with uncontrollable and dull steps. On the treasure, there was no reaction when they were pushed away, but Luo Qing and Wei Yufei made a movement. In front of so many gold, silver and jewels at your fingertips, if you have no desires or desires, you are a saint!Even a sage, seeing so many treasures, will be seduced by greed in his heart!

There are not so many saints in contemporary society, and no one thinks too much money. If someone says that he doesn't love money, he can only say that he doesn't have enough bargaining chips in front of him.

So many treasures directly impact people's hearts and paralyze people's nerves. No one who sees them will be willing to return empty-handed!Even if he knew it was poisonous, he was still willing to test the poison himself!Once a person's desire is aroused, it will be infinitely magnified and cannot be satisfied, but there are so many treasures in front of him that it is enough to satisfy anyone's greed!

Yuezhou's eyes were full of those treasures, and she subconsciously walked two steps closer to see more clearly, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by a strong force, making her unable to move forward, Yuezhou looked down slowly, and saw the pulling The sleeves of the person holding her arm are black, black practice clothes...the person holding her should be Gu Liangwei, Yue Zhou thought slowly, she followed the sleeve of the person holding her arm Looking up, he met Gu Liangwei's calm gaze.

Ah...it really was Gu Liangwei, Yuezhou felt a little happy about her guess, she smiled foolishly with Gu Liangwei, hoping that Gu Liangwei could understand her happiness.

"Don't go," Gu Liangwei said quietly while tugging on Yue Zhou's wrist, a pair of jet-black pupils stared at Yue Zhou's slack eyes.

Yuezhou was a little embarrassed to be seen through by Gu Liangwei's greed, but felt that this was human nature and there was nothing to be ashamed of. Who could confidently say that he didn't love money?Yue Zhou smiled embarrassedly, and found a lame excuse for his behavior: "I just want to get closer and take a photo."

Gu Liangwei didn't expose this lame lie, but she didn't let go either.

Yue Zhou could only see those gold and silver treasures in her eyes now, she was a little impatient with Gu Liangwei who was hindering her, she frowned and struggled a bit, but she didn't break free, after all, Gu Liangwei's hands were as strong as a vise, and what she held in her hand Unless she wants to let go of things, no one can take them away.

Seeing that Yuezhou couldn't break free and didn't give up and still wanted to go in the direction of those gold and silver treasures, Gu Liangwei's face darkened, and suddenly she punched Yuezhou's ear!She swung her fist close to Yue Zhou's ear, and the black iron bracelets clashed with each other, making an ear-splitting sound of iron objects. The impact sounded next to Yue Zhou's ear, causing Yue Zhou's ears to buzz, and his mind froze. Opening her eyes again, her eyes became clear again. She looked down at her arm held by Gu Liangwei, and she took two steps forward, realizing that she was in a position trying to break free from Gu Liangwei, Yue Zhou couldn't help feeling a little confused, What happened to her just now?Did Gu Liangwei say something to her just now? Why can't she remember?Yue Zhou looked around blankly, and saw that the mercenaries, Wei Yufei and Luo Qing had almost reached the ear chamber, and they would step into the ear chamber after a few more steps!

"Come back soon!" Yuezhou shouted in panic, thinking that there must be traps in these ear chambers!How desperate are these people to go in!But Yue Zhou's shout could not reach these people's ears at all, everyone turned a deaf ear to them, and still walked into the ear room, towards those terrible gold, silver and jewels!

Something is wrong!Something is wrong!No matter how attractive gold, silver and jewels are, these people should not even respond to other people's shouts!

These people scattered towards the four ear rooms, and they had already reached the door of the ear room. No matter how fast Ren Guliangwei walked, it was difficult to save everyone. Fortunately, a deafening gunshot sounded suddenly, and everyone in the corridor was shocked. Had to stop.

The person who fired the gun was Xie Chun, who had just shot at the top of the tomb with his gun in his hand.

The people who lost their minds by the gold, silver and jewelry were awakened by the gunshot, and when they opened their eyes again, they were confused about where they were. After hearing Brother Han's call to let everyone back to the guard, they all retreated and gathered in the team. A mercenary who had already walked to the door of the ear room did not move immediately after hearing Brother Han's shout, but hesitated and looked back at the piles of jewels in the ear room.The piles of jewels that were about to overflow the ear chambers were right in front of his eyes. With the flashlight in his hand shining, the gold, silver and jewels reflected golden light on his face, covering his entire vision.All he could see were these treasures that were within reach, and he couldn't see anything else. Just two steps forward, and two steps forward, these jewels were all his!

Seeing the mercenary standing still, thinking that he was still in the unconscious state just now, Brother Han quickly fired again. The mercenary was still indifferent when he heard the gunshot.

"Brother, come back quickly!" Luo Qing hurriedly urged: "What's the use of taking flowers if you are alive!"

Brother Han cursed, and took two steps forward to drag him back, but Xie Chun stopped him with a serious expression.

It is hard to restrain human greed once it moves, and it is called unconsciousness.
