Chapter 156: The Box with the Turtle Shell

"Seven, Seventh Young Master, this ...... There's, yes, there's a strange box, no, yes, it's a box, you, come in and see for yourself!" the bodyguard said in amazement.

His voice was less like a startled voice and more like a surprise.

Strange chests?

An Xiaolin suddenly remembered that her mother said that the key was to open the box, could it be that the key was not to open the door, but to open the box that the bodyguard said inside, isn't the box also a box?

Her heart was even more nervous.

If it's a box, they can take it out and open it with a key.

Otherwise, if you smash the iron door like before, what if you damage the contents inside?

"Is there danger inside?" Yan Chen asked again.

"I don't see the danger yet. The bodyguard said.

Yan Chen pinned the walkie-talkie to his waist and said, "Then let's go in too." ”

Several people lined up one by one in a formation and got into the iron gate.

An Xiaolin went in front of Jiang Xiaoxia, and after entering, looking at this wonderful place, An Xiaolin's mouth couldn't close in surprise.

This...... Really nice place.

This is not so much a cave as a bright basement, not so rounded, and several times wider than the cave junction they had walked before.

The reason why there was sound and light before is clear when you look at it.

There were countless hanging candles hanging in the air in this basement, one of which was huge, burning quietly, jumping occasionally, but because there was no wind in the basement, the frequency of beating was very small, not big at all.

How are the candles lit?

And that voice ...... It's coming out of a ravine at the end of the basement.

They couldn't see if there was a spring inside, but the sound came from there, and it was so close that several people were more sure that it was a spring.

Such underground spring water must be very clear and sweet!

In the center of the basement, a large pillar cut of jade was erected, the pillar was about half a person high, and a boxy box was placed on it, the box seemed to be made of agarwood for several years, exuding a faint fragrance, although the fragrance was not strong enough, but it made people very comfortable.

"There's definitely an important antique in there. Jiang Xiaoxia blushed and said with a smile.

"Let's go to the spring over there first. Professor Jiang said.

A few people walked over and saw that the ravine was quite wide, and there was indeed a rapid flow of spring water in it, and there was a whirlpool below, which jingled and was very pleasant, but the sound was only a little louder, and it was not at all more obvious than the sound I had just heard at the door, but it was a little strange.

An Xiaolin looked around and asked Professor Jiang: "Could it be because the road in this cave is all straight lines, and the topography of this source is so arc-shaped, the sound can be transmitted more and the light can be transmitted?"

Professor Jiang's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Xiao Lin, you're right. Perhaps it is this ingenious design that will make many people even if they find out, but they will be discouraged, and it can be preserved to this day. ”

If it weren't for the relatively civilized modern society, the ancients would definitely think that some underground gods or monsters would not dare to come in.

"The water looks very clear, and when I get out, I'll take a little bit with me to see if I can get someone to study the ingredients. Yan Chen said.

Finding a water source is a huge fortune just by selling it.

The year before last, I also saw a spring found in a small mountainous area in Xiangxi, and I heard that the substances in it are very good for the body, and now it has been hyped to the price of more than 20 yuan a bottle.

The flow of water here is so great...... Plus the cave in the Qin Dynasty here, it's a gimmick!

"I'd like to know if we can go get that box and open it. An Xiaolin said.

"Let's go over and see if there's any danger. Professor Jiang said.

An Xiaolin nodded and bent down to find the small stone.

Jiang Xiaoxia also understood what she meant, but the ground here was smooth and flat, not to mention small stones, and even the dust could hardly be seen, so after looking for a while, he asked the bodyguard to jump into the spring and pick up a large handful of stones, and then handed them to Professor Jiang.

Professor Jiang nodded, as if he had a tacit understanding, took the stone, and threw a stone on top of each floor stone from where they stood to the pillar.

This is a technical job, and every piece has to be thrown to prevent stepping on a dark path to trigger the hidden weapon, and the ancients were the most interested in this.

After more than ten minutes, it was almost thrown away, mainly because the area of the stone slab was relatively large, and it was not very difficult.

"There shouldn't be any danger. Professor Jiang said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

A few people cautiously stepped on the stone slabs that had been thrown by the stones and slowly walked towards the pillars on the other side.

A few minutes later, he walked smoothly around the pillar, and there was no danger.

A bodyguard wanted to get the box and hand it to Yan Chen, but Professor Jiang suddenly said solemnly, "Wait a minute!"

The bodyguard didn't dare to act rashly, and An Xiaolin hurriedly explained: "It's too safe here, we are almost in little danger, which is very strange...... Moreover, the candles here are lit, and since there is no danger everywhere, is the danger on this pillar or the chest?

The bodyguard nodded, not daring to move again.

A few people cautiously stood in a circle around the pillar.

There really seems to be a mechanism everywhere in this room.

Professor Jiang pondered for a moment, then observed the surroundings again, Jiang Xiaoxia said: "Dad, could it be that when digging a cave, some mechanism was alarmed, and the mechanism was already touched, so the candle was lit, you say...... Is it possible that the trap is on top, not underground, or ...... Around the corner?"

Before Professor Jiang could answer, he heard one of the bodyguards say, "There are a lot of steel needles here, come and take a look." ”

Since there are no organs here, everyone no longer worries, and as soon as the bodyguard's voice falls, they immediately look at the walls on all sides.

At this glance, Gu was shocked.

There are small holes in the stone walls around here, but the inside of the holes is not very deep, and they are also white, so I didn't pay attention to them before.

These holes are densely packed, and all the steel needles are inserted into them, and the scalp of those who look at it is numb.

These are to be struck on people...... Then it must be a honeycomb body!

"It's possible that when you were moving on the ground, the mechanism had already been touched. Professor Jiang said.

An Xiaolin also nodded: "It seems to be so, that is to say...... We're not in any danger anymore, are we?"

Professor Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I wonder, how can there be no danger at all, such a large-scale cave, it is impossible to have no mechanism, now seeing this, I am relieved, let's go, go and see what secrets there are in that pillar and box." ”

Several people felt that they were lucky, the mechanism had been triggered a long time ago, otherwise it would have really become a honeycomb, and there was no danger now, if they found any treasure, it would be even better.

An Xiaolin was strange...... Isn't it said that there are a lot of treasures?

Why is it just a single box on a pillar?

However, the candlestick above your head is a great asset.

Walking over, Professor Jiang said, "Xiao Xia, hand me the mask, everyone also bring masks, go farther!"

There is likely to be some poison powder in this box, and it will rush out as soon as it is opened, so it is better to be careful.

Jiang Xiaoxia nodded, handed a gas mask to Professor Jiang, and handed a disposable mask to several other people, but they all stood far away.

Professor Jiang covered his whole face, put on gloves in his hand, touched the box, and everyone looked at Professor Jiang.

Professor Jiang let out a strange "huh" and said suspiciously: "It's strange, this is ...... How could this box be unlocked?"

"No lock, maybe the key was the one that opened the iron door before!" Jiang Xiaoxia said.

An Xiaolin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say that something was wrong.

"Let's open the box first, don't move the box, in case there is a mechanism on the pillar. An Xiaolin said.

Professor Jiang nodded, stretched out his hand, carefully grabbed a small handle on the top of the box, and gently and slowly pulled it away......

"Smack"

The box opened, and there was a thud, echoing in the quiet cave.

"No danger!" Professor Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "You can come and see, there is no danger." ”

An Xiaolin hurriedly walked over and curiously leaned over to see what was inside.

If a few bodyguards were not well-trained, they would not be able to help but lean over to watch.

"Huh...... What is this? Piece by piece, it seems to be ...... Is it made of tortoise shells?" Jiang Xiaoxia said curiously.

"It's quite like!" An Xiaolin also nodded.

In this box, there was nothing, just some turtle shells, the edges of which were all ground into rounded flakes, and the arc was not so large, stacked one by one, and placed in three small piles, each of which had about a dozen pieces, strung together with thin silk threads of copper, but there was nothing on them.

Professor Jiang wore gloves and carefully picked up the top piece and opened it, and found that the white side of the turtle shell was carved with vermilion characters, which should have been carved with a knife and smeared with cinnabar, so that the color would last for a long time.

"There's a word on it, it's just ...... It's Qin Wen again. Jiang Xiaoxia said.

Professor Jiang opened a few more turtle shells and said, "I guess there is something important in the record, this box...... It looks like it's also an antique, and it's a very valuable cultural relic, but let's not take it easily, I'm afraid that if something on the pillar of the box is touched, then it's over, let's take these turtle shells first, the box is kept, and when I go out, I will translate all the words on the turtle shell, and make sure that it can be made public, and then let the professional detection team take it!"

"Okay. ”

Several people agreed, and Professor Jiang took out the transparent preservation belt from his backpack, and took off the turtle shells in a pile of them in order.

"Seven, Seventh Young Master, this ...... This cave, well, seems to be shaking, shaking......" Suddenly, I don't know which bodyguard shouted.
