My attention was focused on the coffin just now, and I didn't look closely at the porcelain jar. I didn't expect there was something strange in it. I hurriedly stepped back a few steps. The jar was not a cylinder, so it was impossible for it to roll towards us in a straight line. After rolling a few times, it changed direction and rolled into the terracotta warriors' path, then hit the stone door with a bang, turned a few times, and stopped in the middle of the door.
We looked at each other, all puzzled. The fat man said softly, "It seems that I was right. The zongzi must be in this jar. He doesn't want us to enter this terracotta path yet. I will smash the jar with a dart first and see what else it can do."
Of course I disagreed and said, "Don't do that. This jar is probably a Qinghua porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Look at the head and the pattern. If you take it overseas and auction it, it will be worth tens of millions. There are not many porcelains with this head now. If you smash one, there will be one less."
The fat man was stunned: "A lot, how much? Tens of millions? If I pass out, won't I just be able to lie down for the rest of my life?"
I nodded. I had expected him to have this reaction. In fact, I didn't see clearly what the pattern was. However, this fat man was quite mercenary. He would never touch something worth tens of millions. I was mainly worried that if he released the things inside, it would be another fierce battle. I had just used up too much energy underwater. I definitely couldn't run.
The fat man scratched his head and asked, "What should we do now? We can't just stand here and watch. This place is under the water, and we don't know how much air is left. We have to fight quickly. I think, why don't we sneak around it. If we are safe, it's fine. But if it's the third or fourth one, we have four pistols in our hands, so we are not afraid of it. What do you think?"
I don't think this is appropriate, but there is only a jar in front of us, and we cannot be sure that there are zongzi in it. Many of the things in this ancient tomb are just to scare yourself, but you can't let it go. It's very contradictory. I guess even if my grandfather encountered the current situation, he could only take one step at a time.
After a brief discussion, we decided that we could only do as Fatty said, so we all took out our air guns, aimed them at the can, and then lined up. Fatty took the lead and walked carefully inside along the edge of the door.
He had only taken a few steps when suddenly there was a tumbling sound, and the jar turned around again and continued to roll. This time it made a direct arc and rolled into the darkness of the corridor. We kept listening to the tumbling sound until it rolled far into the corridor, and then there was another bang, and it hit something.
We followed him in immediately. It was pitch black inside. I shone a flashlight and saw that it was a straight corridor made of white marble bricks. It was very simple and there was nothing inside except two lamp grooves on both sides of the ground. There were lamp holders every 1 meter. At the other end of the terracotta path, there was a jade door, and there was a slightly smaller door on each side, a total of three, all open. It seemed that someone had already gone in. The jar had stopped in the middle of the small door on the left and was not moving.
I really felt it was a bit weird this time. The jar seemed to be leading the way for us. It almost said " follow me ". This must be a conscious behavior. Could it be that the thing in the jar was not a zongzi but a ghost?
I looked at Men You Ping, but I couldn't tell if he was nervous or scared. Maybe he was really disguised, and his expression was behind the mask, so I couldn't see it clearly. I had to tell him what I was thinking. Fatty took a breath and said, "What you said makes sense. I thought so too. This thing rolls so smoothly, just like a bowling ball."
I smiled bitterly in my heart. Seeing that I was a little confused, the fat man said, "Since it has come to this, let's not hesitate here and follow him to see what his purpose is. Anyway, if you stick your head out, you will get a knife. If you hide your head, you will get a knife too."
Everyone nodded, and the fat man patted me on the shoulder and said, "This bare stone road usually has traps. Brother Wu, take a look, is there anything wrong with this place?"
I knew it was my duty, nodded, and shone the flashlight on the ground. The bottom of the path was covered with small stone slabs, which might have been equipped with a strong crossbow mechanism. I thought that since Uncle San had been to this place, if there was a mechanism, it might have been destroyed or triggered. But if there was no mechanism, it would be troublesome. I reminded them, then adjusted my backpack and walked forward first.
To avoid the trap, it's best to lie down and stick to the wall, but there are two light channels on both sides of the path, and it's dark inside and we don't know what's inside, so we can only walk along the channel.
I asked them to pay special attention to the feeling under their feet, but actually even I had no idea. How hard and how fast to put your foot down are all very particular. These things require experience, which I don't have, so the more I walked, the more panicked I felt.
I walked uneasily for more than ten steps, and I was covered in cold sweat. The people behind me were so nervous that I was so nervous, and they also panicked. The fat man said: "It seems that Lei's job is not that easy this time, little comrade." , If you are too tired, let's take a rest?"
I didn't have time to argue with him and said, "Don't argue. If I distract myself, everyone will die." Before I could finish speaking, my feet suddenly shook. When I looked back, I saw that a stone slab under Aning's feet had already fallen. He sank in and was looking at me with a panicked look on his face.
I lamented, and after I finished speaking, I was so unlucky that I was about to be shot into a hedgehog. I heard a roar, and a crossbow arrow flew past her ear. Before I could react, the second arrow arrived and shot straight into her chest.
This was really lightning. Aning's eyes changed, she turned around and waved her hand like lightning, and caught the arrow in the air. That action was almost within a fraction of a second. I couldn't even see her shadow. Didn't see clearly.
I was shocked by her skills, but I didn't have time to think about the situation. I just felt a series of vibrations under my feet and shouted, "Cat, get down, there are hidden crossbows!"
As soon as I finished speaking, more than a dozen white lights shot out. I ducked my head to avoid one. At this moment, I suddenly saw a white-haired creature crawling out of the jar in the distance and quickly getting into the stone door on the left. I just screamed when I suddenly felt a pain in my chest. I looked down and saw, damn! I don't know when two arrows had hit my chest, and it looked like they were two or three inches deep.
