Chapter 251: The Stone Gate of the Trap
"It shouldn't be a ghost hitting the wall, otherwise the people who came in before would have already left, I guess there is some mechanism here. Li Hao thought back to the process of walking around just now, and his eyes kept drifting over the wall of the corridor.
If it really is, then the people who came in before should have discovered it, that is, where their footprints disappeared.
The footprints disappeared in a hurry, apparently something had happened, otherwise it would not have been possible for all the footprints to disappear at the same time.
Li Hao turned his head to the fat man and Professor Feng and said, "It's not time to despair yet, let's chase after the footprints first, and look near the footprints where the footprints disappeared, and the people who came in before should have discovered some secret passages." ”
After speaking, he used a flashlight to shine on the footprints on the ground and walked forward step by step.
The fat man and Professor Feng both had a glint in their eyes, and the original fatigue disappeared, and they hurriedly walked forward behind Li Hao.
The place where the footprints disappeared was indeed strange, a group of footprints clearly stood together, and then disappeared as if they had never appeared, and there were no footprints before that, not even dirt.
"It's right here!" Li Hao stopped and said slowly: "The footsteps disappeared here, presumably the mechanism is here, let's look for it first." ”
After saying that, he looked at the surrounding walls, and the fat man and Professor Feng also frowned, since someone has left here, it means that this is a way to live, and it is better to leave hopefully than to keep waiting for death, so he immediately looked around.
Li Hao looked for it according to the way he walked, and the other party should have shown that the person who walked in front had found something, and the others also surrounded him, and the place with the densest footprints was the place where the person found it.
He tried to put himself in the other person's situation, and then stood on the other side of the footprints and looked left and right.
Finally, he looked at the lantern on the corridor and said, "Fat man, come here and do me a favor!" ”
The fat man hurriedly ran over, and after standing on Li Hao's right, he asked, "Can you get out by pulling this thing?" I don't want to stay here forever. ”
Professor Feng looked at the ever-bright lights around him vigilantly, and finally hesitated for a long time before he came over, stood in front of Li Hao and the fat man, and said, "Mr. Li, have you found something?"
Li Hao nodded lightly and said: "There is a problem with the footprints, as long as you bring yourself into the other party's situation, you can roughly guess what is going on with this mechanism, the footprints here are divided into two kinds, one is the left side blocking the road, the other party should face everyone, and then block in front of them to do something."
The other was facing the wall, presumably doing some kind of work that required force, but grabbed the base of the lantern, and it was only after they pulled together that there was some kind of change. ”
After hearing Li Hao's words, Professor Feng looked at the base of the ever-bright lamps on both sides, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the base after so many years, but the two ever-bright lamps that Li Hao said obviously did not have much dust, indicating that someone had touched them, and they were trying their best to catch them.
With his own certainty, he also stood beside Li Hao and was about to help, but Li Hao shook his head and said, "You rest first, I can do it with the fat man!"
After speaking, he gave the fat man a look, and then opened his mouth to count down.
“3”
“2”
"1 pull!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Hao and the fat man pulled out the ever-bright lamp almost at the same time, and at the same time, a thumb-thick iron chain was pulled out of the back of the ever-bright lamp.
Immediately afterwards, they saw that the wall on Li Hao's side slowly shook, and then the originally tight wall began to shrink back, and a stone door appeared in front of them.
Seeing this change, Li Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, and the fat man also showed a smile.
"Professor Feng, you push the door first and see if you can push it open. Li Hao and the fat man didn't let go of their hands, for fear that the wall would recover after they let go.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Professor Feng nodded, hurriedly walked to the stone gate and pushed it.
The stone gate did not disappoint the three of them, it slowly opened after a click, Li Hao and the fat man were also relieved, and being able to push it open meant that there were no other requirements, which was a good thing at first sight.
"Fatty, let go and try to see if Shimen will recover. Li Hao turned his head and said to the fat man.
The other end of the chain of the ever-bright lamp was obviously tightened, and the fat man grabbed it with both hands, but it was still taken back a lot, the fat man took a deep breath, and then slowly withdrew his strength, and the iron chain behind the ever-bright lamp was also slowly retracted.
It wasn't until the ever-bright lamp stuck back to the wall again that the fat man let go of his hand, Li Hao looked at the stone door and found that there was no change, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and slowly put the ever-bright lamp in his hand back.
When everything was restored, the stone door did not close, and the walls did not change much.
Professor Feng said: "This should be a one-sided lock, as long as we don't close the stone door, I think the wall will not return to its original state." ”
He took a flashlight and shone it inside, and then slowly walked in, the fat man and Li Hao also walked in together, and the three of them looked around after they came in, it was the same as the Yongdao just now, but this Yongdao did not have a permanent light, and it was no longer a straight line, the stone gate was the beginning of this Yongdao, and the other end could not be illuminated with a flashlight.
The fat man looked at the flashlight that was swallowed by the darkness, and scolded: "Camels give birth to donkeys, what do the ancients think, there are so many passages that are sick, don't tell me that there are passages waiting for us in a while." ”
The fat man has come out of the shadow of the worm, and has returned to his original appearance, which makes Li Hao feel a lot more relieved.
Professor Feng shone his flashlight on the surrounding walls, and his face became strange.
"It's evil, the brick and stone buildings on this road are actually from the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing his words, Li Hao and the fat man were stunned, what happened to the bricks and stones of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it still bricks?
Seeing that the two of them didn't care, Professor Feng hurriedly explained: "This is the Yongdao of the Ming Dynasty, and it is actually in the Yongdao of the Tang Dynasty, don't you still understand?
"It's not wrong to go, you said it doesn't count. The fat man waved his hand indifferently and said, "What if this tomb was built from the outside in? And it's so dark here, how can you be sure that this masonry is from the Ming Dynasty? ”
As he spoke, he also shone a flashlight in his eyes, which means that you are old and your eyes are no longer good.
Li Hao doesn't care, anyway, his purpose is to protect
To protect the artifacts from being taken away, just find the people who came in before and stop them.
Professor Feng wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to say it, and finally he could only follow Li Hao and the fat man closely.
Shortly after the others left, the stone door slowly closed of its own accord, as if nothing had happened.
This passage seems to be quite long, and it is also circle-shaped, and the three of them have been walking down the wall all the way, during which Professor Feng remembered the scene when Li Hao beat the worm and looked for the mechanism before, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li also touched gold before?"
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
Seeing the confusion on Li Hao's face, Professor Feng also knew that he had guessed wrong, so he smiled and said: "It's the old man, I guessed wrong, to put it bluntly, this person who touches gold is a tomb robber, and he is also called a captain who touches gold, but their ability to find the tomb is also second to none, and most of the ancient tombs that have been excavated before have their help." ”
Li Hao didn't understand these things, and now he just wanted to quickly protect the cultural relics, and then go home to see his sister's situation.
If it weren't for his sister's business, he wouldn't have risked his life to come here.
Along the way, Professor Feng also said some archaeological things, Li Hao didn't listen to a word anyway, but the fat man listened to it with relish on the side, and seemed to be very interested in archaeology.
It wasn't until they stepped out of the corridor and into a large confined space that they stopped talking.
This space is very large, almost more than 100 square meters, there is a huge stone coffin in the middle, and the ground around it is also sprinkled with various funerary goods, although each one is covered with dust, but its research value is high and terrifying.
It is surrounded by four pillars of heaven, and each pillar is engraved with a strange dragon, which is different from the dragons that everyone has seen on the Internet, this dragon does not have a claw, but is full of dense things similar to antennae, and the head is also covered with that kind of antennae, which makes people's hearts hairy.
"What's the matter, what is the identity of the owner of this tomb, the scalp of the people looking at the things on these four pillars is numb, and the thief is uncomfortable. The fat man also felt uncomfortable, and seemed to remember the time when he was chased by the worm again.
The stone pillar is really carved like a worm......
Worm ...... This is obviously a worm!
The fat man trembled and pointed to the stone pillar and said, "This is a fucking worm!"
Hearing the fat man's words, Li Hao also felt that the thing looked the same as the worm, but this size was much larger than what they had seen before.
Professor Feng also frowned, smacked his mouth and said: "This is indeed a worm, the ancients generally like to depict scenes on this kind of Babel Pillar, which generally has the meaning of auspiciousness, just like some mythical creatures we all know, real dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, etc., but some small number of famous people also depict other animals, such as cows, snakes, cats or something, but this is the first time I have seen this depiction of worms." ”
What he said was popular science, but the fat man surprisingly did not refute it, and his original good mood was suddenly disrupted, looking at the image on the stone pillar, he felt uncomfortable.
Professor Feng continued: "According to the construction of our Han tombs, the coffin here should be placed in the main room, and the burial goods are placed in the ear room, but it is a little strange here, it is said to be the main room, and there are so many funeral goods around, it is said to be the ear room, and the coffin is placed in the middle, which is even stranger than the image of the four pillars. ”
