The blowtorch that Yi Shiting brought was a kerosene blowtorch, because after all, it was the fire source for our long journey. Using gasoline and alcohol was not particularly safe, and it would explode if we were not careful. However, everyone who had used a kerosene blowtorch knew that this thing had a disadvantage - insufficient air pressure!
Insufficient air pressure means that the fire sprayed out is not strong enough.
Yi Shiting had almost turned the blowtorch to the maximum, but the flame was only more than half a meter, so she had to bend her waist when she was sweeping forward, just like the Japanese soldiers sweeping mines on TV. Those corpse beetles were really afraid of fire. When the flame just touched them, they immediately made a "squeaking" sound and all dodged. Some unlucky ones were burned and died at a high temperature of 1,300 to 400 degrees. I don't know what the structure of this thing is inside. After being burned to death, the body crackled and exuded a very disgusting odor, just like burning wool.
We followed Yi Shiting closely, forming a circle, fearing that we would be jumped by the corpse beetles if we were too far away from the flames. We also saw Zhang Jinya's fate of being pounced on, which was simply shocking, so we were extremely careful.
These corpse beetles were probably trapped in this ear chamber for who knows how many years they have been dormant. They were suddenly awakened by Zhang Jinya, and their eyes, the size of soybeans, were glowing green with hunger. How could they let us, a few living people, go in so easily? They almost just dodged the flames of the blowtorch, and then came over from the side. Some even went around from both sides of the steps to behind us, running around at our feet, looking like wild beasts in a rage. It was just because they were afraid of fire that they did not pounce on us for the time being. But there is no doubt that as long as the blowtorch in Yi Shiting's hand is extinguished, these things will definitely not be polite, and it is estimated that we will be eaten up in a short time.
Ninety-nine steps, ninety-nine steps of shocking road!
To be honest, I was terrified when I saw those densely packed corpse beetles, especially the way these things eat people. Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb. So when I walked up this flight of stairs, I was always nervous. Others were similar to me. Needless to say, Cao Yuan, going to the tomb was like a young lady getting married. It was her first time in her life. It was just bad luck for her to encounter such a thing. She was so scared that her face turned pale. Zhang Jinya was even worse. He shivered like he had a high fever. Even Qingyi looked very unhappy. In front of corpse beetles, don't say you are a heavenly master, even a great heavenly master who can change fate against the will of heaven is useless! ! !
Because for this kind of thing, there is no such thing as Taoism, only food! ! A perverted species that can chew even the iron corpse of the Qing Dynasty, how can it bite flesh and blood like a game?
Fortunately, we passed the level without any danger. We walked up the stairs and got into the secret door.
It didn't matter that I came in. There were "squeaky" sounds coming from all directions. As soon as Yi Shiting went up, the flame of the blowtorch spread out, and the dense corpse beetles stepped on each other and retreated, just like the sea water receding, rolling and spreading four or five meters. The scene was quite spectacular. I guess people with trypophobia would go crazy directly! !
I was tortured by the continuous screams of the corpse beetles. My head hurt. I don't know if I was mentally retarded or what I was thinking, but I turned on the flashlight at this time. The moment the beam of the strong light flashlight lit up, the tomb was suddenly illuminated, and then Cao Yuan screamed "Ah"...
Not only did she scream, but I also wanted to scream! !
Because this tomb of hundreds of square meters was full of corpse beetles, on the walls and the ground, one layer on top of another, it was an oversimplification to say that it was a corpse beetle nest. In fact, it was a sea of corpse beetles! Even the two golden coffins placed in the middle have become the nests of corpse beetles. There are holes with a diameter of more than ten centimeters everywhere on the left and right sides of the coffins. Needless to say, they were all bitten by corpse beetles.
"Damn, these two golden coffins must have raised big dumplings before!!"
The fat man took a breath of cold air at that time: "There must be at least two flying corpses, otherwise the corpse beetles can't reproduce such a large population by eating two ordinary corpses!"
We laughed bitterly silently. Two flying corpses?
I have seen the horror of flying corpses. Gao Xianzhi in the Qinling Ten Absolute Tomb is a flying corpse. I still remember the scene when the flying corpse rose up. Qingyi pulled out the ghost king from the underworld and finally subdued the flying corpse! !
Such a fierce flying corpse was actually bitten by corpse beetles?
At this time, my mood really responded to the advertising slogan-chilled and excited!
For a moment, we were also shocked by this situation. The number of corpse beetles was beyond our expectations!
Taking this opportunity, I also carefully looked at the tomb, looking for the traces of the corpse beetle king while studying the structure of the tomb.
According to the strict specifications of the pavilion burial, we should be in the side chamber of this pavilion burial, which is much smaller than the secondary burial pit and the auxiliary chamber. It can be roughly inferred that this pavilion burial should be tower-shaped, and such a structure is relatively stable. As for the side chamber, as mentioned earlier, the people buried in it are generally important people in the tomb owner's lifetime, or relatives, or lovers, or friends and brothers.
Generally speaking, the possibility of the lover buried in the side chamber is relatively high!
However, the Queen of Jingjue never married, and the only person who may have had an intimate relationship was the Taoist Sanqing. After all, the two of them ate at the same table and slept in the same bed. The Taoist Sanqing may not be a person who has no interest in women, but the Queen of Jingjue is a person who is interested in men, so it is reasonable for something to happen. Of course, these are all my malicious conjectures, but the Taoist Sanqing obviously could not be buried with the Queen of Jingjue, so the person buried in this wing chamber should not be her lover, nor her royal relatives, because at that time, the Queen of Jingjue was the only one left in the royal family of the Guidong tribe. The rest of the royal bloodline was killed by the Queen of Jingjue because she doubted that a woman could not rule the Kingdom of Jingjue.
Therefore, I guess that the people buried in this wing chamber should be the confidants of the Queen of Jingjue in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are possible. This is also in line with conventions. There are not a few absurd things that the emperors of ancient times let the eunuchs enter the imperial mausoleum with them after their death. After all, the emperors were born in the deep palace, raised by women and eunuchs, and the closest to them were the palace maids and eunuchs. It is reasonable to let the eunuchs who are close to them follow them into the imperial mausoleum after their death.
But it is impossible to guess who the unlucky guy whose body was eaten by the corpse beetle was.
"Where is the Corpse Beetle King?"
At this time, Yi Shiting said anxiously: "I haven't found it after looking for a long time. The blowtorch is running out of oil. It can only last for ten minutes at most!"
"No need to look for it, it's in those two coffins!"
The fat man said in a deep voice: "But I don't know which coffin it is in!"
In the coffin?
When we heard it, we all laughed bitterly. The coffin must be full of Corpse Beetles. Who dares to pry open the coffin? Once the coffin is opened, it will be drowned by Corpse Beetles immediately!
The fat man pondered for a while, then quickly searched in his backpack. After a while, he took out two tubular things from it and sneered: "This is the only way to do it. Watch me give it a scattering of flowers and blow it to death directly!"
The two tubular things that the fat man took out were actually two detonators!
"Fuck!"
Zhang Jinya's face changed immediately: "Fatty, are you crazy? Are you going to blow up those two coffins?"
"Do you have any other tricks besides this?"
Fatty sneered: "The Corpse Beetle King is not easy to deal with. Even if you throw a fire stick into the coffin to force it out, you can't do anything. You can only blow it to death!"
"Madman, he is just a madman!"
Zhang Jinya muttered: "You want to bury us alive!"
It's really crazy, I think so too!
The detonators that Fatty brought are all detonators used to blow up the tomb when the structure of the ancient tomb is too strong and cannot be opened. The power is quite amazing! ! And where we are now, this is the Taklimakan Desert, the geological structure is soft, and this detonator may directly blow up the entire tomb!
By then...won't we end up being buried alive?
