Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 409
In the narrow passage, he suddenly encountered white bones. Ding Ermiao hurriedly stopped and took a closer look.

Gu Qinglan followed up and saw the white skeleton still laughing. She screamed in surprise, stepped back quickly, and collided with Wu Zhanzhan behind him.

"Sister Lan, don't be afraid..." Ding Ermiao stared at the bones for a few seconds and said to Gu Qinglan behind him: "Junior sister and I are both here. Not to mention a skeleton, even a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood can be preserved. You are safe and sound.”

Wu Zhanzhan looked around cautiously and said, "That's right, Gu Qinglan, don't be afraid."

"It's not fear, it's just an instinctive reaction..." Gu Qinglan smiled sheepishly.

"I heard that you are also a master of tomb robbing. So when you entered the tomb chamber before, you were always so surprised?" Wu Zhanzhan stepped forward and took Gu Qinglan's hand.

Gu Qinglan shook her head and said: "That's not true. I rarely do risky things. Before entering the tomb, I was mentally prepared. When I opened the tomb and saw the corpse, I naturally wouldn't make a fuss. The bones just now were suddenly seen. , so it is inevitable to scream..."

At this moment, Ding Ermiao had already taken off his headlamp and held it in his hand. He walked up to the bones and looked at them carefully.The white bones stick to the stone wall, and the whole body is shaking slightly, like a swing.

Ding Ermiao held up the headlight and looked left and right, and suddenly said: "This is a person who was sucked in by the wind. He stuck to the wall and gradually decayed. In the end, all his clothes and flesh were gone, leaving only this skeleton. Because the tendons are connected, the skeleton is still intact. Judging from the bones, it is a woman."

"Then why does she laugh?" Gu Qinglan walked over with Wu Zhanzhan and asked in a low voice.

"It's not that she is laughing, it's that there are ventilation holes in the back, and there are bagpipes in some of the ventilation holes. When the mountain wind pours in, it will make ghostly noises." Ding Ermiao shined the light on the stone wall next to the white skull and signaled to Gu Qing Blue to see.

Gu Qinglan took a closer look, and sure enough, there were dozens of small holes, as thick as a finger, arranged in a messy manner on the stone wall.

Ding Ermiao fiddled with a slightly thicker hole for a long time and took out a small object.Under the light, the object was a round tube with two ends, no more than three inches long, about the thickness of an index finger, and covered with green patina.There are three small holes dug in it, rather like a piccolo.

"Is this the thing making ghostly noises?" Gu Qinglan asked.

"It should be." Ding Ermiao held the copper pipe upright to his mouth and blew out in one breath.Sure enough, a ghostly cry came out: "咿咿咿咿..."

Gu Qinglan wiped her sweat, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It turns out that I was the one scaring myself all along. There are no ghosts here at all, it's the bagpipe that is pretending to be a ghost."

Wu Zhanzhan also looked at it repeatedly, and frowned: "Why did this woman die here? Who arranged these bagpipes in this passage?"

"This woman died not long ago, about 30 to [-] years ago. Why she died here is unknown." Ding Ermiao pointed to the skeleton, then raised the bagpipe in his hand and said, "The bagpipe has some history. Yes, it’s made of bronze.”

As he spoke, Ding Ermiao grabbed the skeleton's shoulder bones and pushed hard.The skeleton fell to the ground, and more wind holes were exposed on the stone wall behind it. The mountain wind roared in, and ghosts screamed again and again.

Sure enough, this poor woman was sucked to the stone wall by the huge wind.

I used a headlight to check, but found that the air vents were not straight, but twisted and turned, and I didn't know where they were leading.

Ding Ermiao leaned against the stone wall and tested his strength.As he leaned closer, he suddenly felt the mountain wind coming towards him. His chest was aching due to pressure, and his breathing was a little difficult.

Struggling to struggle, Ding Ermiao escaped from the suction of the wind hole, stepped aside and stood aside, saying: "No wonder this woman can't escape, this wind is really domineering."

Gu Qinglan took the bagpipe, looked at it for a long time, and then polished the bagpipe on the ground before saying:

"This kind of copper material was produced by the craftsmanship of the Warring States Period. From this point of view, this passage has existed for more than 2000 years... Using the power of wind to kill people and using bagpipes to scare people is terrible, the wisdom and power of the ancients."

Ding Ermiao was silent.On the cliff just now, according to the nine waterfalls, there should be an emperor's tomb in the valley.Then this channel, so ingeniously crafted, must be related to the emperor's tomb.

Who else but the emperor had the manpower and material resources to build such a passage?Even if this passage is a naturally-occurring main body, transforming it into its current appearance is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Could this passage be related to the imperial mausoleum here?" Wu Zhanzhan also thought of this problem and blurted out.

Gu Qinglan also nodded: "This speculation is more reasonable. So, the emperor's mausoleum here is also buried with an emperor from the Warring States period?"

The three of them stood at the corner of the passage, thinking about it for a long time, but they couldn't figure it out. After all, the information they currently had was too limited.

"Go forward and see where this passage leads." Wu Zhanzhan said.

Gu Qinglan didn't move, pointing to those air holes and said: "I think these air holes should be blocked, in this way, the mountain wind that comes in will be smaller, not so cold, and not so noisy."

"Alright..." Ding Ermiao looked at the ground, trying to find something to block the air holes.

But the ground was clean, with no loose soil or gravel at all.Gu Qinglan raised the engineering shovel and hacked at the stone wall a few times. However, the stone wall was so hard that sparks flew out and no gravel was broken.

"There is no other way. Let's dismantle the skeleton and block the wind holes with broken bones." Wu Zhanzhan said.

Ding Ermiao sighed and had no choice but to do this.This poor woman had to have her bones dismantled after she died, which was really unbearable.

The three of them worked together to dismantle the skeleton and blocked some of the air holes with finger bones and toe bones.The wind speed in the cave finally dropped, and the ghost screams became much less frequent.

Because the materials were not suitable, Ding Ermiao and the others worked for a long time, but still could not completely block these air holes.

"Forget it, let's move forward." Wu Zhanzhan said impatiently, "It's been a long time. If we don't hurry up, it will get dark easily."

Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan stopped moving together, wiped their hands on their clothes, and continued moving forward.If we delay any longer, the power of the headlight will not be able to sustain it.

In order to save power, Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan behind Ding Ermiao turned off their headlights and followed Ding Ermiao slowly forward.

As I spiraled down the passage, I felt lower and lower as I went.After turning two more turns, the road under my feet gradually took on the appearance of steps, one step at a time extending downwards.

The further you go down, the smoother and sharper the steps become.Moreover, the ground, the top of the head, and the stone walls on both sides glowed with a scarlet light under the illumination of the headlights.

It's brilliant and weird.
