People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 282 Water Bee

"Done by a living person? In that case, this might be one of the burial pits in King Xian's tomb?" Hu Bayi said thoughtfully.

This was something that he could easily guess as he was familiar with the forms of tombs.

"That should be it." Shirley Yang nodded.

This is also the most likely explanation.

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Miss Yang, how do you know this?"

He was very curious about what Shirley Yang knew, and wanted to ask for advice, so he could learn from it next time.

Shirley Yang did not hide anything, and gave the answer directly: "In fact, these things can be found in historical data. A scholar in Europe once said that under every tombstone is a novel, and

In the tombs of some important historical figures, a large amount of historical information of that time is hidden.”

"As a royal tomb built by gathering the entire national power at that time, it is also the crystallization of the social economy, culture, religion and other aspects of that time. If you know enough about the relevant information, you will be able to do it with ease when you go to the tomb. If you study

If you pass by those famous tomb robbers in history, you will find that they are all knowledgeable people."

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he blinked subconsciously, thinking that he might not be able to learn it.

What he wants is a quick fix, not this accumulated approach.

"Let's talk about Xian Wang." Chen Ziyan reminded.

He knew that Shirley Yang had investigated King Xian and knew more about it than he did, so he thought that he might as well let her know more about it so that others could know more about the purpose of the trip.

"Okay." Shirley Yang agreed happily.

Then he organized his language and said: "Actually, there has been more than one King Xian in history, but they were all in different eras. For example, the Warring States, Five Dynasties, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom all had the title of King Xian after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is somewhat similar.

It’s the title Zhongshan, but our goal is very clear, which is to serve as the King of Xian during the ancient Dian Kingdom.”

"However, after all, this King Xian is just an oddity living in southern Xinjiang. It is not really mainstream, so there are not many records in history. Many information can only be found in unofficial histories. But you also know that unofficial histories are true and true.

It’s hard to study.”

"But now it seems that the record about King Xian's skill in using evil arts should be correct, but... it's a bit cruel."

Speaking of the latter part, Shirley Yang spoke with a bit of unbearability.

From these human figurines, we can get a glimpse of the cruel and ruthless rule that the people living in western Yunnan at that time accepted.

"Yes." Ding Sitian, who is also a woman, was also very moved: "This is just a burial pit. I really can't imagine how many innocent lives were sacrificed in this tomb dedicated to the king."

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but scolded: "These ancient ruling classes really don't treat people as human beings. If you ask me, I would have to open up their tombs. With such virtue, they still want peace after death. Fatty, I am the first

No one agrees!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, when we leave, just blow up the tomb dedicated to Mr. Wang!"

Chen Ziyan: "..."

This fat boy really wants to come out all the time.

Even if he wanted to give King Xian a free cremation, Chen Ziyan would not say anything, but if he blew up the entire tomb of King Xian, even a hundred miles around would be alarmed, okay?

Hu Bayi knew that the fat man had a whim, so he said to him: "Fat man, can you give me some idea? Do you know how big the tomb of King Xian is? How much explosives are needed to blow this up? You can hear it from dozens of miles away."

Besides, if the poisonous miasma is evaporated, who can bear the responsibility?"

"Lao Hu, please just calm down for a while. I just said one sentence and it triggered a lot of reasoning from you... Just do your essential work well. Our seminar on history is like a sailor like you."

What does it matter?" Wang Kaixuan fired back in a series of beeps.

"Fuck you!" Hu Bayi was furious when he heard this: "As for you attending a history seminar, I think you only know how to write the word history!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Chen Ziyan quickly stopped him: "I told you both to take a break, why did they start arguing again without saying a few words!"

Chen Ziyan now seriously doubts whether these two guys are using this method to relieve their emotions, but it is really not suitable to continue now, otherwise he would have interrupted and would have moved to a small bench to watch the fun.

Facts have proved that Chen Ziyan's words are still effective. After hearing the words, the two immediately stopped talking.

Ding Sitian suddenly said at this time: "Have you noticed that this place seems to be a little different from the description in the information?"

Although she didn't talk much, she was always paying attention to the surrounding scenery.

Shirley Yang said: "Maybe it has something to do with the recent heavy rains. The water level should be higher than usual now, so you can tell that the things you see are different."

"If this is the case, are we not walking in the right direction?" Wang Kaixuan said hurriedly: "How about we turn around and go back now, so that we don't end up like the spider nest last time. I don't want to walk through the maze again."

Chen Ziyan said softly: "Don't worry about this. No matter which river it is in the mountain, it will eventually flow in one direction. As long as you follow it, you can pass through Zhelong Mountain. Moreover, the river is very straight now. Obviously

Just like Shirley said, it was the waterway used to transport materials when King Xian built his mausoleum, so there won’t be any problems if you walk along it.”

Hu Bayi also said: "Master Chen is right. In ancient times, waterways were used to transport materials when building large tombs. This may be the one with the end point closest to the destination among the many underground rivers."

Seeing them all say this, Wang Kaixuan's heart instantly relaxed as he just mentioned it.

After he relaxed, he suddenly thought of what Hu Bayi said to him when he passed by the Wei River when he went to Shaanxi last time. He turned around and asked: "Old Hu, do you remember what you said when we saw the Wei River last time?

What?"

Hu Bayi recalled it and said: "Is it the sentence 'take the mouth of the sweet spring from the stone, the Wei River will not flow'?"

"That's right!" Wang Kaixuan nodded, and then said: "I remember you said that when the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was built, the Wei River was a transportation waterway. Compared with that river, did you say that this is just a sewer in front of you? If so,

This Mr. Xianwang is barely a small household among the princes."

Hu Bayi felt that Wang Kaixuan's words were unexpectedly pleasant, so he followed up by saying, "If that's true, well, let's defeat him and give him face."

But at this moment, the boat that was slowly moving forward jolted suddenly as if it hit something, and then a heavy metal stirring sound was heard coming from the water.

This unusual noise gave everyone a sense of foreboding.

Chen Ziyan reminded him right away: "We're all on guard, we're afraid we may have triggered something!"

After hearing this, the others quickly grabbed the edge of the boat beside them to prevent themselves from falling into the water due to the accident.

"Thump thump thump..."

Before the noise under the river stopped, I heard a series of sounds of falling water coming from behind. There was almost no interval between the sound coming and becoming denser.

"It should be the human figurines hanging above." Shirley Yang calmly made an inference.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. The only known things behind them are those human figurines.

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he was afraid that he would be attacked, so he quickly took off his rifle and was ready to fight back at any time.

At this time, except for Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi, everyone else on the boat subconsciously turned their heads. Unfortunately, they were too far away from the section where the human figurines were hung, beyond the scope of the flashlight. Looking at it, there was only darkness. What was there?

There's no way to see it.

After the sound at the bottom of the river stopped, Chen Ziyan looked at the calm water in front and said, "Old Hu, speed up. As long as we go fast enough, nothing behind us will be of any use."

"Okay!" After Hu Bayi responded, their ship immediately accelerated its speed.

However, even if the speed is increased, it is only relative, and it is impossible to directly increase the speed to the maximum speed.

Unexpectedly, just after walking more than a hundred meters, a group of human figurines appeared again in the beam of searchlight.

This situation is already terrifying, especially after the situation just now, it becomes even more terrifying.

It happened that the house was leaking and it rained all night. When they saw the human figurines, the copper chains tying them in front of them fell off one after another. The human figurines fell into the river one after another like dumplings.

.

In the blink of an eye, within the range of the searchlight, only the empty copper chains were left shaking.

This situation almost made it clear to them that the river used to transport materials when King Xian built the mausoleum must have some hidden mechanism.

As for this mechanism whose function is currently unknown, the key to its effectiveness is unsurprisingly those fallen human figurines.

"This is really a bad start!" Hu Bayi cursed in a low voice, and then increased the speed of the boat again.

If you want to follow the method just now, don't wait for the mechanism to work, and rush out of this section of the river first.

But what confused everyone was that until they successfully crossed this section of the river, the river was completely silent, and there were not even ripples caused by objects falling into it.

However, this kind of calmness did not make a few people relax, but made them become more and more vigilant.

They all know in their hearts that there may be heavy thunder and small raindrops, but they should never appear in the mausoleum.

And the current calmness shows that huge dangers and disturbances are brewing somewhere they don't know.

With this thought in mind, everyone except Hu Bayi, who needed to take charge of the boat, took out their sidearms.

However, after getting ready for a long time, the river behind him was still as calm as ever, with no movement at all.

But this is not a bad thing for them. If they can leave this section of the river smoothly, with the current car, even if there is a problem, they can get rid of it.

Gudu Gudu——

Just when Chen Ziyan thought he could successfully pass through this section of the river, there was finally movement on the river behind him. With the help of the light of his flashlight, he could see that the river behind him seemed to be boiling.

It happened that a beam of flashlight passed through the water and hit a human figurine swaying in the water.

At this time, I don't know whether it was due to contact with the river water, but obvious cracks appeared on the gray-brown skin of this human figurine.

Even the originally blurry facial features became much clearer, revealing the tragic expression left by the pain before death.

At this time, illuminated by the light and refracted by the river, it seemed as if the human figurines had come to life. At a rough glance, it was extremely terrifying.

Leaving aside the others, at least Ding Sitian, who was holding a flashlight, trembled subconsciously after seeing this scene.

"No, those evil figures in the evil figures are about to be resurrected! Let's go quickly!" Shirley Yang reminded anxiously when she saw the cracks on the figures, which swelled and turned into cracks, as if she suddenly thought of something.

road.

Hu Bayi could not look back at this moment and could only follow the instructions of others. After hearing Shirley Yang's anxious voice, he increased the speed of the boat again without thinking.

Although he couldn't see what was going on, he could make the always calm Shirley Yang react like this, and the specific situation could be imagined.

Chen Ziyan also heard Shirley Yang's shout, but he also did not look back, but directly took out his domain device from his personal space.

Now the disguise of the domain weapon changed again, and it was wrapped in hollow metal balls. Then, as if he had eyes on his back, he directly threw these metal balls to the expected position, and threw several people

It's all wrapped up inside.

But because of the shape of the hull, there is no way to completely wrap the entire ship.

After finishing this matter, Chen Ziyan no longer paid attention to the following things and continued to return his attention to the front.

At this time, the worms in the figurines have come out. These worms are actually a kind of special insect eggs that can preserve their vitality for a long time. At this moment, after these eggs encounter water, they are like sponges that absorb water.

It quickly expanded into a bug the size of a fingertip. This bug had fins like little fingernails on both sides of its body, so it swam extremely fast and was difficult to catch with sight.

As if they had received some kind of instruction, these bugs quickly chased after their ship after regaining their ability to move.

"This is a water wasp!"

When these bugs got closer, Ding Sitian saw what they looked like and immediately recognized what they were.

When they heard the name Water Swallow Bee, everyone else was also shocked.

Although they had just arrived in Yunnan, they had already heard about the shocking water bee.

This is a shallow aquatic insect that likes to attach to floating objects to lay eggs. It is also called a water wasp.

Wang Kaixuan subconsciously wanted to shoot to stop him, but before he could pull the trigger, he was stopped by Ding Sitian next to him.

Ding Sitian said to him: "Don't be too nervous. Water bees can't fly out of the water. As long as we don't go into the water, we'll be fine."

She also just remembered that the ship beneath her had special protection. Although these water harpies were powerful, there was nothing they could do about them.
