Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

I saw a big snake coiled on the coffin in the middle of the tomb.

The big snake is snow-white all over.

It is as thick as an average person's arm.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a tomb guardian beast carved from white marble.

Tomb guardian beasts originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Many Tang Dynasty tombs contain exaggerated three-color tomb guardian beasts.

After the Song Dynasty, tomb guardian beasts gradually declined.

Even if there are tomb guardian beasts in Ming and Qing tombs, they are mostly small stone carvings or clay sculptures.

But when I looked more closely, the snake actually moved!

When it moved, all the hairs on my body stood up.

I couldn't help but think of the snakes in the tomb of the King of Bi.

Could it be that the snake in this tomb is also weird? !

As soon as the thought came to my mind, I shuddered.

I shone the flashlight back and forth on the coiled snake, and the light reflected from the snake's scales confirmed to me that it was a real snake.

Hiss!

It raised its head in dissatisfaction, stared at me with its scarlet eyes and spat out its tongue.

It seems it has noticed me and is warning me.

I immediately grabbed the rope around my waist with my left hand.

I just need to pull the rope hard twice and the person above will pull me up.

But the moment I was about to pull the rope, my hand stopped.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and calm your mind.

After entering the tomb of the King of Bi State, I have developed a certain psychological trauma towards snakes.

Moreover, the snake in the tomb was snow-white all over and did not look like an ordinary creature.

It made me more vigilant.

Hiss!

The white snake hissed and stood up.

It opened its mouth wide towards me, as if preparing to attack.

My heart tightened and I involuntarily grabbed a brick and smashed it on the white snake's head.

Whoosh!

The white snake stood up and swayed to the side, actually avoiding the brick.

My attack completely enraged it.

Hiss!

It roared wildly and suddenly jumped up with force.

The head as big as a casserole swooped over to the entrance of the cave.

Because I entered the tunnel headfirst, I was face to face with the white snake at this moment.

You can clearly see the esophagus from its wide-open bloody mouth!

Immediately afterwards, a fishy smell hit me in the face.

The stench was so strong that it almost made me pass out.

I endured the stench and grabbed a brick in each hand.

I thought to myself that fortunately the hole was not big.

A snake this big would only be able to get half of its head out before it gets stuck.

It's just the right time to close the door and beat the dog.

Hit it with a few bricks and it will at least have a concussion!

Just when I was thinking about it, I saw a string of water droplets like beads spurting out from the snake's fangs.

The white snake did not go into the hole.

Instead, he sprayed venom directly at me.

"Hold!"

I cursed, tensing all my muscles and trying to shrink back.

But the tunnel was too narrow and I had to crawl in headfirst.

It is difficult to retreat a safe distance without pulling the rope hard from above.

But even if we asked them to pull the rope, it was too late.

Is he going to be poisoned to death?

In a panic, I pushed the brick I was holding into the hole.

Two bricks were placed flat on top of it, covering about 80% of the hole.

Then I used my abdominal muscles to pull my body upwards and put my arms together in front of my face.

This is to prevent the venom from splashing out from the unblocked gaps.

There are three types of venomous snake venom.

One is a neurotoxin that blocks the transmission of excitation signals by nerves, causing cardiac and respiratory paralysis, leading to death by suffocation.

The other is blood toxins that destroy the body's coagulation factors, causing bleeding in internal organs and body tissues and leading to death.

The last type is a mixed toxin of the above two.

Usually, snake venom has to break through the human skin layer before it can cause poisoning.

However, for poisonous snakes that can spray venom, when the venom comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, and nose mucosa, it will be absorbed into the human body through the mucous membranes.

At that time, I didn’t know the scientific knowledge about snake venom, but I talked about it with the old man who sold snake medicine at the market.

He said that if you encounter a venomous snake, you must protect your eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

laugh!

A cool breeze blew by.

There is a feeling of liquid clinging to the back of the hand.

numb!

My whole body is numb.

Will this cause poisoning?

The good thing is, there was no feeling of being sprayed with venom on the face.

At this moment, Cui Hao's voice came from above: "Brother, what's going on?"

"Pull me up!"

As I spoke, I pulled the rope hard.

Immediately afterwards, the rope around the waist tightened and the whole person was pulled upwards.

Just as he was pulled up more than one meter, he heard a clanging sound.

The two bricks blocking the hole were pushed open.

My heart suddenly tightened, and a cold air rushed from my tailbone to the top of my head.

A bad premonition filled my whole body.

I quickly shouted: "Hurry up! Pull me up!"

As I shouted, the snake's head slammed hard into the hole.

Bang!

The bricks around the hole were twisted and distorted.

As the snake's head retreated, the bricks fell with a crackling sound.

The hole got bigger!

Big enough for the snake's head to enter and exit easily!

"Quick, quick!"

"Haozi, haven't you eaten yet? Tell them to poop together!"

I yelled anxiously.

"Everyone is pulling hard, brother, what's wrong with you?" Cui Hao's voice was getting closer.

As I finished speaking, my legs had already left the tunnel.

Immediately afterwards, someone grabbed my legs and pulled me out of the hole like pulling a carrot.

"Brother, are you okay?" Cui Hao helped me stand up.

Jiang Nanle carefully patted the dirt off my head and body.

I was gasping for breath and didn't bother to talk, so I pulled them both away.

Old Li looked at me in confusion. "Brother Chen, what are you doing? Who are you trying to scare by pretending to see a ghost?"

Daquan and Ershuan both laughed.

I also think I'm pretending.

"That's too exaggerated. It's only enough to scare a three-year-old."

"I think he couldn't open the dome, so he pretended to be like this and said something about seeing a ghost to try to fool him."

Jiang Nanle looked at them and then looked at me.

He lowered his head as if thinking about something.

Only Cui Hao's face turned extremely ugly.

After all, we know each other well.

"Brother, inside the tomb..."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the white snake didn't chase me out of the tunnel.

"There's a white snake in there."

"It was completely white, as thick as my arm, and if it stood up it could reach the top of the tomb. I hit it with a brick..."

The following situation was briefly explained, and everyone was stunned.

Old Li frowned, as if he was tied to a knot that couldn't be untied.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and white smoke came out of his nostrils.

"Such a big snake sounds scary."

"It's still a venomous snake!"

Daquan and Ershuan nodded.

"They say white snakes are very spiritual. I'm afraid it's hard to kill them."

"Kill it? It's such a big snake, I'd be lucky if I didn't get killed by it."

"Why don't you buy some more snake medicine and throw it down there to try and see if it can drive it away."

Old Li's eyes lit up, he threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot.

"Snake medicine is a good idea."

"No matter how powerful a snake is, it will be driven away by snake medicine!"

This can be considered a compromise.

Use snake medicine to drive away the snakes, and then you can easily get the treasure from the tomb.

The disadvantage is that it takes one more day to complete.

And tomorrow morning, the Jiang family will come here to bury Jiang Nanle's father.

Maybe someone will come up to the top of the hill to take a look.

How to camouflage the entrance of the tunnel becomes a tricky issue.

At this time, Jiang Nanle pulled the corner of my clothes.

He asked, "Why is there a snake in the tomb?"
