Boom!
The partition wall made a dull sound.
The old Zongzi next door was finally startled.
This was expected, but when the sound appeared, my heart still tightened.
"Chichi!"
The strange sound continued, as if it was jetting.
"The partition wall has been broken, and the white phosphorus inside has started to burn!"
I was so anxious that I was sweating all over my head. I quickly said, "Stay away from that partition wall and find a place to hide. It will explode soon!"
This is by no means an exaggeration. The sealing wall technology of the Qihe Tomb is quite advanced. In order to ensure that the white phosphorus inside will burn when it encounters fire, the hollow position in the wall must be kept absolutely vacuum. The sealant and sealing bonding technology used are very unusual. First, the steamed cloth is soaked in lime water. After drying, the steamed cloth will become hard, and then it is three-in-one soil. This is probably an ancient version of concrete, or a mixed adhesive, one part ash, two parts river sand and loess, and then use sheep peach vine juice, which is what we now call kiwi fruit, plus glutinous rice to mix evenly to form a paste, which is evenly applied to the hardened steamed cloth to form something similar to gypsum board.
The sealed wall is made of this kind of three-ply earth board, and then white hemp is stuffed into the gap of the three-ply earth board to "make tendons", and then tung oil and lime are used to fill the seams, which is considered sealed.
This method was used to seal and waterproof ships in the Song Dynasty. However, it is particularly effective in sealing the gaps of three-ply earth boards. This is not enough, and the most important step is to add oil.
In the northwest Gobi, there is a very peculiar plant, which the locals call chicken oil grass. This grass is very similar to bitter herbs. The tendons and leaves can squeeze out white milk-like things, and then this milk is thrown into the pot and boiled, just like boiling oil, and finally a layer of black grease can be obtained at the bottom of the pot. If this grease is applied to the treated three-ply earth board, it cannot be soaked by water or air, and it will not change for thousands of years.
Unfortunately, this kind of chicken oil grass is now rare. The last time it appeared was about a hundred years ago. It is probably one of the extinct plants, so now it can only be seen in some ancient tombs, proving that it once existed.
In short, under these layers of sealing, the white phosphorus in the partition wall is absolutely fresh. Once ignited, the heat cannot be dissipated at all, and the entire partition wall will be blown up directly in the end. In such a small area, the flying sand and rocks are no less lethal than the explosion fragments of a grenade!
Brother Yaozi is very fierce. Even after hearing my reminder, he did not find a shelter to hide. After shaking out the climbing rope, he put one end of the climbing rope on himself like a tug-of-war with a big rope, and then made a noose with the other end, and put it directly around my neck without saying anything, all the way to my waist.
"Don't worry about us!"
Brother Yaozi explained very simply, and shouted: "Once it explodes, we can all survive, only you can't survive. I'll pull the rope for you, and you jump down!"
Obviously, this is a rookie priority protection policy.
I wanted to help, but I also knew that I was a hindrance here. I still had this in mind, so I gritted my teeth and ran towards the coffin quickly.
"That's right!"
The moment I climbed onto the coffin, I turned around and reminded him: "The partition wall is white phosphorus, it's poisonous, don't breathe..."
Boom!
Before I could say anything, the partition wall exploded.
The bright flames of the burning white phosphorus instantly illuminated the entire tomb, thick smoke billowed, and a surging wave of air hit me head on. Under the terrifying power of this explosion, human power was too weak to resist it at all. I was hit and flew up, and then fell straight from the hole in the sarcophagus.
At the last moment, the partition wall completely exploded, and I only saw a tall black shadow walking out of the blazing fire. In the other tomb, whether it was on the wall or on the ground, there were some strange red symbols carved all over the wall.
Lao Bai, who was hiding behind the funeral furniture, screamed like a slutty old woman...
Brother Yaozi was pulling the rope against the raging fire and the air waves generated by the explosion. He was a real warrior, roaring and raging, standing still, and even asked Zhang Xinya to hide behind him...
My master was holding the ancient sword upside down and rushing towards the shadow that walked out of the raging fire...
Everyone was fighting desperately. That scene really stimulated me. I felt an inexplicable sense of shame. I think I should change my name to Wei Paopao...
However, that little bit of conscience quickly disappeared without a trace. I was swallowed by the darkness. As I fell rapidly, the surging adrenaline made me feel like I had to pee urgently. I couldn't help but clamp my buttocks and screamed. I subconsciously grabbed the mining lamp in my hand, as if this ray of light was my only refuge in the endless darkness.
So high! !
Falling like this, can Brother Yaozi hold me?
Will I be smashed into a ball of flesh?
Okay, although it is indeed shameless to think so, but... I really can't help it!
Out of an instinctive self-protection, I kept pointing the mining lamp in my hand downwards, as if I was choosing a grave for myself. It is hard to explain what kind of mentality this was in that situation. It was like I wanted to die with a clear mind, at least to see clearly what was going to kill me.
The light of this mining lamp is very concentrated and can shine far away, but in the blink of an eye, I saw a reflection below, sparkling, as if it was an underground pool.
I reached the bottom, and the rope was not fully released!
My heart sank, and I quickly began to adjust my posture in mid-air. I knew that if I just stood upright on the water, I might die. Although I am not a diving athlete, I have seen pigs run even if I have never eaten pork, so I can still imitate the diving posture...
This series of events happened in a flash, and then I fell into the water with a "plop". My hands immediately lost consciousness. I knew that my hands might have been rolled up, but at least I was still alive. As for the mining lamp in my hand, it had already fallen out of my hand and fell to the bottom of the pool under the terrible impact. The impact force on my body was not resolved. Like a swimming fish, I continued to sink through the water following the light of the mining lamp.
Gradually, my hands regained consciousness and were burning with pain.
At this time, the force that was dragging me down gradually disappeared. I felt the buoyancy of the water. As for the miner's lamp, it also sank to the bottom, but it was quite far away from me. The light illuminated the water. Before it fell to the bottom, I saw thick silt at the bottom of the pool, and the middle of the bottom of the pool was obviously sunken, just like a piece of cloth holding up the water.
A black shadow flashed by...
The speed of the black shadow was so fast that I couldn't see what it was at all.
There is something at the bottom of the pool!
I was scared, and I couldn't hold my breath anymore. I didn't dare to look anymore. I turned around and swam quickly towards the surface of the water. It was really like being chased by a wolf from behind. In extreme panic, my swimming skills were beyond normal, and my speed in the water was very fast.
Just as I was working hard, "click", my ankle seemed to be pinched by something, and the force was particularly strong, pinching my ankle so hard that it hurt, and it directly dragged me underwater.
The attack came unexpectedly. I opened my mouth subconsciously, and water poured into my stomach. My lungs were already so stuffy that they seemed to be about to explode. As a result, my mouth was full of bubbles. I was about to drown. With a strong desire to survive, I quickly untied my Tianguan Blade hanging on my backpack in the water, bent my body, and stabbed it directly downward.
In fact, it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see the thing at all. In addition, there was resistance from the water, so you can imagine how powerful this stab could be. It was no different from poking it with a fire stick. The thing was hard and seemed to have a shell.
However, the thing seemed to be afraid of the Tianguan Blade. I just poked it casually, and it really let me go. I didn't dare to stop at all and swam quickly to the surface of the water.
There was still a faint flicker of fire above, which should be the fire in the tomb. With this weak light, I could probably see this place clearly. There was a shallow beach not far away.
I swam over there quickly. Anyway, as long as I reached the shore, I would be safe for the time being.
Whoosh!
A fierce sound of breaking through the air came from above my head. I looked up and saw a black shadow falling down from above.
"Old White?"
I didn't look down on the specific appearance of the black shadow. It just looked a bit like Old White in size, but he was too fierce, wasn't he? He didn't even have a rope on his body, and he flew down directly...
I didn't care about landing first, and shouted in the water, reminding him that there was a pool below and he should pay attention to his entering the water posture...
However, it was as if I had said nothing. Old White didn't react at all. He hit the water surface with a "bang". It really had to be described as "smashing". I was gnashing my teeth when I saw it. You know, there is a kind of pain in this world called pain just looking at it.
Is he dead?
However, even if he didn't die, he would be dead if he hit the water like this...
In this situation, I didn't have time to care whether he was dead or alive. There was something under the water, and I couldn't feed Lao Bai to that thing, right? I gritted my teeth and dived into the water again.
Fortunately, Lao Bai hit the water directly, and the impact force was all blasted into the waves. After entering the water, there was not much impact, and the falling speed was not fast. I just vaguely caught a figure, and then quickly chased after him and grabbed him in the water.
Hair?
That's right, I grabbed a handful of hair!
Or, was it Lao Bai's hair?
Anyway, I couldn't care so much, as long as I grabbed it, the other party didn't have any overreaction. The situation was urgent, and I couldn't care whether he was comfortable in this position. Being bald is better than being dead. There are also inexplicable dangers in the water. I rushed to the surface of the water and swam quickly towards the shallows...
