The origin of doom

Chapter 190
"Yes." I replied from the side: "There is a bamboo slip in the unearthed cultural relics, which records the life of the owner of the tomb. She died in the chaos at the age of 15, just at the age when she was waiting for her husband, which is a pity."

An old man surnamed Chen asked: "That is to say, the owner of the tomb was still a young girl when he died?"

I said uncertainly: "It should be. The bamboo slips say that they are not married yet. Is there any problem?"

"It's a big problem!" Old Chen said with a serious expression, "In ancient times, the death of a girl with a yellow flower was a symbol of bad luck, and burial objects could not be accompanied by burial objects, but according to what you said, there are not a few burial objects here!"

I corrected him: "Old Chen, did you remember wrongly? This custom only started in the Ming Dynasty, but the owner of the tomb is from the Song Dynasty."

Old Chen stroked his beard: "Young man, this custom has existed a long time ago, if you don't believe me, you can ask Lao Zhu."

Zhu Hansong nodded, indicating that Mr. Chen was right.

"But it doesn't mean anything, maybe her parents love her very much, so they put some funeral objects"

I mentioned this possibility, but Chen Lao insisted on being serious with me, saying that the ancients paid attention to funeral etiquette, and it was impossible to violate this taboo.I don't understand, it has nothing to do with him whether he puts away the funeral objects or not. . .

At this moment, I only heard Ji Nan let out an exclamation, accompanied by the sound of the stone door rubbing against the ground. Go in!And then back to the wall again!
On this wall, there is actually a stone door hidden!The boy must have bumped into some mechanism by accident!
I hurried over and knocked on the wall, shouting as I knocked: "Jiannan, Fellow Daoist Qingyang, are you all right?"

But there was no echo from the other side of the wall!

I thought it was terrible, I didn't expect that there would be a mechanism in this seemingly simple tomb!

Everyone in the Daoist Association and I were very anxious, only Qi Xinlan looked happy, and said to the black-robed man beside her, "I thought I would return empty-handed this time, but I didn't expect there to be something wrong...you two, go find the agency. "

Qi Xinlan casually ordered two bodyguards and said.

Two bodyguards came over and groped along the wall with me. Not long after, the bodyguard on my right pushed down a stone!In an instant, the wall moved!Spin at breakneck speed!

I subconsciously jumped backwards, but the two bodyguards didn't react so quickly, and were directly swept to the other side. . .

……

I stomped my foot, thinking how could I escape just now?You should rush in!

Fortunately, I already knew the location of the mechanism, and when I was about to press it, Zhu Hansong stopped him and said, "Xiaolong, don't worry, this is a virtual tomb, there must be a killing mechanism!"

Qi Xinlan asked with interest: "What does Xuzhong mean?"

Zhu Hansong replied: "As the name suggests, it is to build fake tombs and hide the real tombs. This is a means of anti-tomb robbers to prevent tomb robbers from finding the real tomb. According to unofficial history records, after Confucius died, his disciples set up five virtual tombs for him." , to confuse tomb robbers. However, this is the first time this old man has seen such a combination of real and fake tombs."

Zhu Hansong explained in detail. A middle-aged man with a mustache from the Daoist Society asked, "Old Zhu, since this is the first time you have seen it, why do you say there is a murder mechanism here?"

"Stupid!" Zhu Hansong taught him a lesson, and said, "Even if such an ingenious stone gate can be designed, do you think there will be no killing mechanism? In order to prevent tomb robbers, there must be many mechanisms here! The sword, the poisonous smoke from the fire!"

What?If there really was such a mechanism, it wouldn't be enough for the poor boy to pay for his nine lives!
I hurried to press the stone on the wall, Han Xinying stretched out her hand and said, "Didn't you hear what Master said? There is a murder mechanism inside."

"That's right, Xiaolong, it's better not to go in." Zhu Hansong also persuaded: "If we just go in, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Everyone has only one life, so there is no need to take risks in this kind of place."

The other old men have seconded their suggestions, persuading me to be more rational and not to get hotheaded.

The people who watched the Taoist meeting didn't intend to go in, so I said: "Thank you seniors for your kindness, but I have to bring Yang Jiannan out, and I have to be responsible for his safety... Oh, by the way, I will also take Qing Fellow Daoist Yang brought it out."

After speaking, I moved towards the organ.

"Wait, we're going in too, why don't we go together." Qi Xinlan said.

I frowned slightly, ignored her, and pressed the switch directly. The moment the stone door opened, I slid in sideways. . .

……

After the stone door was closed, I swung around with my flashlight, and found that there was no one else in this tomb except me!

The tomb is about five meters long and six meters wide. It is built with bluestone slabs. There is a mahogany mirror stand with Ruyi pattern in the corner, and a triangular stool in front of the stand, which is exquisite in style.The so-called mirror table is an ancient dressing table, which is divided into palace-made and civilian-made. Judging from the fine carvings, it should be palace-made.

There is a bronze mirror inlaid on it, but it is old and covered with copper rust.

There is a wooden box for clothes next to the mirror. The lid of the box has been opened, and the clothes inside have been flipped, which looks very messy.

On the other side is a wooden bed surrounded by a white gauze curtain. There are two copper lamps beside the bed. The lamp stands are in the shape of lotus flowers, arranged like a female boudoir.

But it was too late to take a closer look, because the people who came in before went to nowhere.

There is a stone door on the right, which has been opened, and I walked inside with a flashlight.

But after entering the second tomb, there was still no sign of Ji Nan and the others.

Calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls of this tomb, celadon vases stand beside the walls, there is a screen in the center, tables and chairs are placed in front of the screen, and there are tea sets on it. , is the wealthy party.

But the biggest question is, where did they go?
It doesn't make sense that I come in only 3 minutes after them and I can't even see their shadows.

While I was thinking, there was the sound of the stone door turning in the tomb of the 'boudoir', followed by Qi Xinlan's voice: "Slow down, I see your flashlight."

After finishing speaking, a group of eight of them came over, including Qi Xinlan, the man in black, and six male bodyguards.

"Did you see my two men?"

"No, they are all gone." After I replied, I walked towards the next tomb, because the stone door there was open, and it was obvious that someone had entered.

As soon as I entered the third tomb, before I had time to take a closer look, I found a flashlight in the tomb in front of me!I hurried over and asked at the same time, "Is anyone there?"

But there was no response, which made people feel a little weird.

It was only after walking to the door that a bodyguard was lying in a pool of blood, his flashlight was thrown aside, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his breathing was weak.I hurried over, helped him hold the wound, and asked, "Who hurt you like this?"

His pupils were already dilated, and there was a long wound on his neck, with blood gushing out continuously, apparently injuring his trachea and arteries.

Hearing my call, he moved his eyeballs, raised a finger, pointed to the next tomb, then tilted his head and died completely.Closing his eyes, I stood up and said, "This brother bodyguard is dead, and the other one is missing."

Qi Xinlan leaned against the door: "The two people who came in before did it?"

She was referring to Shunan and Fellow Daoist Qingyang, and I directly vetoed it: "Impossible, they have no motive to kill."

"That's hard to say, maybe it's just for the sake of money?"

I frowned: "Now is not the time to discuss these things, let's talk about them first..."

……

There was a bloodstain on the ground, like the trace left by dragging the corpse, leading directly to the next tomb.The blood hadn't dried up yet, and it was unknown who had died. There was a one-third possibility that it was a boy.

With a heavy heart, the group continued to walk forward.

After walking through two tombs following the bloodstains, I finally saw the corpse in the third tomb!Judging from his clothes, it was another bodyguard!Qi Xinlan pouted her chin: "Go and see if he has died."

A tall and thin bodyguard walked over, but before taking a few steps, a stone slab under his feet suddenly sank!
I didn't think well, so I quickly reminded loudly: "Get out of the way! There are traps!"

It's a pity that it was too late, I saw a sarcophagus falling from above, directly smashing the tall and thin bodyguard below!There was a muffled sound, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking!The tall and thin bodyguard was crushed underneath, with only one hand exposed. After a couple of twitches, he stopped moving.

The sarcophagus weighed three to four thousand catties by visual inspection. How could a body of flesh and blood bear such a weight?
Just now our attention was all on the ground, and no one paid attention to the top of our heads, otherwise we would not have hit such a simple mechanism.But this also shows one thing, the corpse is here to lure us to step on the mechanism!There must be something dirty in the tomb
I don't know where Ji Nan and Fellow Daoist Qingyang are, and whether they are still alive. . .

Just as I was thinking, the sarcophagus shook twice, the lid suddenly flew off, and a purple-haired corpse jumped out!I saw it wearing armor, a cloak on its shoulders, a breastplate on its chest and back, and purple hairs on its face. As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards us!

Just as I was about to make a move, the bodyguards took out their hands to shoot 'bang bang bang', which frightened me so much that I didn't dare to move around for fear of being accidentally injured.

Facts have proved that the pistol is useless against Zimao Zong. It quickly approached and grabbed a bodyguard's head!Fortunately, the bodyguard reacted quickly enough and bent over to hide.Zimao Zombie changed his target and rushed towards me directly!There is no way, who told me that I am the most vigorous person here. . .
