Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes
Chapter 29 Murals
The pointed hammer went to work, and the brothers of the Sun family kept picking and picking me up. The bluestone was not sharp and hard. In one day, it took a few hours in total under the concerted efforts of several people.
The bull's nose groove was punched out, and the rope was attached to the kidnapper's needle according to the previous method.
"I will use my strength when I shout. This thing is much smaller, so it should be done in one go." Sun Laosan took the lead to pull up the rope, and the three of us followed suit.
Taking a deep breath, his voice was low.
"three two."
"one!"
The rope is straightened instantly, and the direction of our force is to the left.
"Boom," there was a loud sound of falling stones inside.
Sun Laosan's prediction was correct. With the experience of the first time, we found the right way this time and succeeded once.
According to the principle of being cautious, Sun Laosan first lit a white candle in the crack of the door to test the oxygen content in the space inside.
The candle stood on the ground, the flame burning flickeringly, no wind was felt, but the flame of the candle fell to one side.
"No problem, third brother." I asked in a low voice.
He waved his hand, indicating that he would observe for two more minutes.
After a few minutes, the candle burned as before and did not suddenly shrink, which shows that the oxygen content in it is still stable.
"Pay attention to your step," confessed, and we pushed open the two stone gates together.
The temperature inside the Erdaomen is very low, and people can feel it as soon as they come in. Although they are wearing thick clothes, they still feel cold, and the white air that people exhale is very obvious.
"Phew...it's so cold, third child, the temperature difference between here and outside must be more than ten degrees," a mole kept rubbing his hands.
Sun Laosan also felt strange, so he heard him say: "The temperature here on Feimo Mountain is fairly constant. I didn't expect it to be so strange here. I don't understand it."
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about the third one. None of us are geologists. Let's find out the way first," Sun Boss said his opinion.
"Second brother and third brother, look up quickly," I flicked on the flashlight, and suddenly I discovered something.
In the southwest corner of the stone wall, there are still many brightly colored murals.
"The mural...this...it doesn't seem to be a Western Zhou style mural." Sun Laosan raised his head and illuminated the mural with a flashlight, his expression was incredulous.
"Not the Western Zhou Dynasty? What do you mean?" I read it again.
On the stone wall, the overall color of these murals is mainly black and red, and there are a lot of them. Not counting the unseen places, almost all of them are illuminated by flashlights.
The theme pictures of the murals are very complicated and strange.
There are men in ancient costumes and hats, women with bare breasts, and children who are tied upside down on the wood. There is a pure white coffin in the center of this pattern, and many people in ragged clothes are around. Kneeling on the ground, it looked like she was worshiping the white coffin.The whole mural style is a bit of a cult worship.
The reason why Sun Laosan glanced at it and said that the murals may not be from the Western Zhou Dynasty is because of the mineral pigments in the murals themselves, because according to common sense, this kind of mineral red did not appear in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and this kind of mineral red became popular later. Chu in the Warring States Period.
The tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty are not the murals of the Western Zhou Dynasty... It doesn't make sense at all.Also, whose white coffin is on the mural?
So far, I haven't seen a decent funeral object yet. Yao Yumen concluded that this is a national-level earth palace with a higher standard than Mawangdui. She also speculated that there are state-level cultural relics that cannot be moved.
But... where is the thing?
"Come on, third child!" A mole suddenly called out.
A few people hurried over to see.
At the northwest corner of the stone wall, there was another mural with a strange style...
After seeing the contents of the mural clearly, everyone's faces, including me, suddenly turned pale!
What I see is.
There are three men and one woman in the murals with peeling paint. The murals are vivid. The two men are in their 40s, the woman is in their 30s, and the last man is obviously much younger.
In the mural, these modern people are holding flashlights, gathered together, and are shining on a white coffin!
I glanced behind myself in horror, the back was empty, and there was no white coffin...
The four people on this mural clearly represent our group...
"Third...Third brother," my voice trembled a little.
"Slap!" Sun Laosan suddenly slapped himself hard.
"Impossible, impossible, my eyes must be dazzled," he turned his head to look at a mole with a pale face, "Xiaohong, what do you see?"
A mole tremblingly said: "I...I saw the four of us, and... there is also a monster with horns on its head."
"A monster with horns on its head?" I rubbed my eyes vigorously, "No, how can there be a monster with horns on its head? I clearly saw a white coffin!"
Sun Laosan took a deep breath and said, "What I saw was the four of us surrounded by two poisonous snakes that were entangled with each other."
Boss Sun also shook his head, "I am different from yours. What I saw was a child squatting on the ground with his head buried in tears."
After speaking, several people looked at each other, and they all saw incredible in each other's eyes.
A quirky mural.
Four people looked at it at the same time, and they saw four different patterns...
What I saw was a coffin, what a mole saw was a monster with horns on its head, what Sun Lao San saw were two entwined poisonous snakes, what Sun Lao Da saw was a child buried in his head and crying.
Sun Laosan had seen many evil things before, but the situation in front of him was obviously beyond his cognition.
At the moment, the only reasonable explanation we can get is hallucination.We might be hallucinating at the same time.
"This is not right, everyone sit down and don't leave yet," Sun Laosan beckoned us to sit where we were.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Sun Laosan took out a small round iron box from his backpack. The iron box was not big, made of old cupronickel, and there was no patterned trademark on it.
He unscrewed the iron box, and carefully poured out a little yellow powder into the palm of his hand.
The yellow powder has a pungent smell and a taste of realgar, but the smell is stronger than realgar.
Sun Lao San asked us to stretch out our right hands, and he poured a little in the palm of our hands.
Raising his hand to the tip of his nose, Sun Laosan said, "Take a breath and inhale it with your nose."
He took the lead.
"Ah!"
"Damn, it's really strong," he sucked his nose twice in a row, shaking his head vigorously.
The moment I inhaled this thing, I felt a sudden chill in my head. This thing is very refreshing, much stronger than refreshing oil toilet water, and it is not at the same level at all.
After inhaling the yellow powder, several people took a closer look.
There are no crying children in the murals, no monsters with horns and poisonous snakes on their heads, and now we see the same patterns.
On the murals, there are only some ancient people dressed in different ways, and there are no animals or coffins.
"Damn it, it's a good thing I paid more attention before I came here, and bought some soul awakening medicine from the Taoist priest."
Sun Laosan straightened up after cursing, and he turned his head to look at the place he had just passed.
"The fragrance of Nan is the fragrance of Nan just now. This is also an ancient means of preventing tomb robbery. It was prepared by the witchcraft alchemists at that time."
"The group of southerners who came in must have hallucinations like us, which led to them killing each other."
"Fortunately, I was well prepared, and we discovered it early."
Sun Laosan finished speaking and looked up at the murals.
"Five minutes late, we didn't even know how we died."
"This is borrowing people to kill people."
The bull's nose groove was punched out, and the rope was attached to the kidnapper's needle according to the previous method.
"I will use my strength when I shout. This thing is much smaller, so it should be done in one go." Sun Laosan took the lead to pull up the rope, and the three of us followed suit.
