Chapter 10 - Chapter 11 Seven Stars Pavilion

I took a closer look at the shadow , and just as it lowered its head, when it raised its head, it became very large, almost wider than its shoulders. This kind of fear is really indescribable. I felt my scalp tingling, and I screamed uncontrollably: "There is a ghost!"

 

Everyone turned to look at me . I couldn't stop shouting. I pointed at the shadow and turned my head. Almost at the same time, I saw the owner of the shadow. It was a monster with a huge head! He was holding a strange weapon in his hand. In the semi-darkness, the deformed big head was much scarier than any monster you could imagine. The oil bottle gang picked up his mining lamp and shone it.

 

We saw the true face of this monster . It looked like... like a person putting a big clay pot on his head... Damn, your grandfather.

 

My extreme fear immediately turned into extreme anger , because it turned out to be a person, with a large clay pot on his head, a flashlight in his hand, and an Egyptian pose . There were two holes on the clay pot, and two thief eyes were looking out through the holes, which was very disgusting.

 

The scene was very awkward for a while . We couldn't figure out whether this guy was a friend or an enemy. We were also frightened by this guy. We hadn't reacted yet. Finally, Pan Zi cursed, "Fuck you, I'll shoot you!" and then he pulled out his gun. The guy got mad when he saw that we had pissed him off. He shouted, "Oh my god!" and dodged very quickly, running directly to the aisle we came from. Pan Zi was honest and unceremonious. He raised his gun and fired a shot.

 

The clay pot on the man's head was smashed , leaving only a loop around his neck. The man ran away while cursing, "You're looking for death! Just wait and see how I, your grandfather, will deal with you when I come back." As he spoke, his feet seemed to be greased and he disappeared in an instant.

 

When Men You Ping saw this , he said something terrible, "We can't let him get to our tunnel. If he touches the coffin, he'll be doomed!" After that, he pulled out the black gold ancient knife from his bag, and without even picking up a miner's lamp, he chased after him into the darkness in just a few steps.

 

Pan Zi wanted to run over to help , but his uncle held him back and said, "You can't help at all. Go and look at those two ear chambers to see where he came out from."

 

I hurried to the ear chamber on the right and saw a hole dug directly from the stone wall. There was a candle in the corner, burning there, emitting a melancholy green light. I exclaimed, it turned out that the guy was a tomb raider. I saw a bag on the ground, it seemed that he had also dropped it here. I opened it and saw some tools, a few batteries, and a sketch of the ancient tomb. Although it was very sloppy, I could tell at a glance that the several squares inside represented the seven coffins. There were a lot of words written on the edge of the sketch, all of which were different notes. It seemed that they were written by several people when they were discussing here. There was a big question mark written on the edge of the sketch, and then a few words - Seven Star Coffins.

 

I couldn't help but tense up . I seemed to have seen this seven-star coffin somewhere. As soon as I thought about it, I remembered that my grandfather mentioned it in his notebook. Except for one of the seven coffins that was real, the others either had mechanisms or extremely strange means. In short, if you opened the wrong one, the mechanism or magic in the coffin would be triggered, which must be extremely dangerous. Looking at the foreigner, he must have been unaware of the situation and thought that there were treasures in each coffin. As a result, he was tricked and dragged into the coffin by something. His partner probably saw his companion being killed, so he fled from the curtain room in panic, and then dug another hole in the corridor and fled in a hurry.

 

After analyzing this , I felt that it made a lot of sense. I took the map and wanted to talk to my uncle. When I walked out, I found that there was only one mining lamp left outside. It had been flooded in the corpse cave, and now it was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. It was very difficult to use. My uncle and Da Kui were gone! I went to another ear chamber to check, but I didn't see them either. So I picked up the mining lamp and shouted: "Uncle!"

 

Logically, they couldn't have left me alone and gone away. I first suspected that something had happened to them, but was there any sound of fighting just now? With the skills of Pan Zi and the others, they would have been able to scream no matter what monster they encountered!

 

But apart from the echo , no one answered me. This dark tomb, seven cold coffins, and a strange corpse immediately forced me back to reality. I suddenly remembered that I was not a professional tomb robber. I could not stay in the tomb alone. Even if there were no monsters, my imagination was enough to drive me to death!

 

I shouted again , hoping someone would answer me right away, but there was still silence. At this moment, the miner's lamp in my hand suddenly flickered and seemed to be going out. I broke out in a cold sweat and my mind started to get confused.

 

If it had been this quiet all the time , I might have been able to calm down slowly, but unfortunately, at this moment I suddenly heard a creaking sound from the stone coffin lid. I didn't know which of the seven made the sound, but I felt dizzy and my heart was beating in my throat. I retreated to the wall and suddenly, something flashed. I turned around and saw that the candle in the adjacent ear chamber had gone out.

 

I sighed and thought to myself, I didn't take anything from you, why did you blow out the light in my eyes? Then I looked back at the sarcophagi, and saw that the ancient corpse in the opened sarcophagus had actually sat up, and the foreigner's body was also lifted up with it, as if two corpses sat up together. At least he didn't look back at me.

 

I didn't dare to look anymore , so I closed my eyes, and moved cautiously along the wall with trembling legs. Then, with a quick jump, the cat entered the ear chamber.

 

My grandfather wrote down his mental formula for training courage in his notebook , that if you can't see it, just pretend it didn't happen. I think so too. Otherwise, looking at a thousand-year-old corpse sitting there, I couldn't think about anything. I put the mining lamp in a corner, trying to prevent the light from shining outside, and then desperately searched the bag left by the fat man to see if there was anything else inside. After searching for a long time, I found a few compressed biscuits and some other papers, which were also densely written with a lot of things and pictures. It seemed that he had brought all the important things with him. Because there was no light outside now, it was pitch black, and I didn't know what the corpse was doing. If he just kept sitting up, lying down, and exercising his abdominal muscles, I wouldn't be afraid of it. I was just afraid that he would come over without knowing what was going on.

 

At this moment , a gust of wind blew in from the tunnel, and I immediately had an idea. I thought, that's right, this tunnel must lead to the outside, or to some other place. No matter where, it's better than here. I carved a mark on the side of the cave so that if Uncle San came back and saw it, he would know that I had entered the cave. Then I picked up the miner's lamp, packed up the fat man's bag, put it on my back, and went in.

 

As I climbed , I recalled the common sense my grandfather told me when I was a child, such as the ancient round is close to the square, the Qinling Han slope, nine shallow and one deep, oh no, bah, damn it. I shook my head and found that I actually had very little knowledge about this aspect in my mind. I looked at the robber's hole, which seemed round but not round, square but not square, and I didn't know when it was dug. I thought to myself, if the kid with the clay pot on his head just now dug this tunnel himself, then when he knocked on the tomb bricks, he would either trigger a mechanism, or if he was an expert, he would at least make some noise, but we hardly noticed when he came in, so this hole must have been there a long time ago, that is, this hole must have been dug by another group of people, or he dug it a long time ago. I inferred that either this kid came down from someone else's robber's hole , or the robber's hole he dug collided with this hole.

 

climbing for a while , I found a fork in the hole. The two holes were dug in completely different ways, so they must have been dug by two groups of people. I thought that either one would lead to the outside, so I could just pick one. In order to make it easy for Uncle San to find me, I drew a mark on the hole I chose and then crawled in.

 

At this time, I was looking forward to a burst of fresh air . When the moon was bright, it would be best if I could look out of the cave and see a fire burning. The people who were waiting for me up there would see me, pull me up, and let me into the tent. Then I would eat some dry food and have a good sleep. Then, Uncle San and his people would find me and we would go home together. What the hell, I was fed up with this. Others would only encounter a few white-haired and black-haired people after their whole lives of working as tomb robbers. It was my first time to work as a tomb robber. There were so many people everywhere I went that I couldn't even breathe. It was not easy for me. I thought, it would be best if the person waiting for me up there was a woman, and she could give me a shoulder massage or something.

 

Just thinking about it gave me a lot of energy , so I sped up my movements. Soon I saw the light of fire appearing in front of me. I was overjoyed. It was the darkness before dawn. So I used all my limbs and stuck my head out. I really wanted to take a deep breath. When I looked, I was stunned.

 

The greater the hope , the greater the disappointment. Another tomb passage appeared in front of me. It was very similar to the one I passed when I came here. It seemed that this tomb was very complicated!

 

I couldn't help but curse , and used the mining lamp to shine around. When I looked carefully, I was stunned. Isn't this the same tomb passage I came from? How come this tomb tunnel is connected to the one over there? At first, we thought someone dug this hole to escape.

 

I am really confused and can't figure out what the purpose of the person who dug this hole was.
