Chapter Sixty-Seven: There is a hole in the sky at a critical juncture
"Liu Yue \ Tang Feng" When Tang Nei called Liu Yue, Liu Yue also called him, Tang Feng said to Liu Yue: "You say it first." {-o-M)" At this time when he was supposed to shout that I love you, Liu Yue said, "The water seems to have stopped." ”
The storage time of the water in the organ is nearly a thousand years, and there will definitely be evaporation, and it is normal for the amount of water to be less than the entire space, but the crisis has not been lifted because of this, there is not much air left in the space, let alone oxygen for people to breathe, Tang Feng felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, and his brain had begun to lack oxygen.
At this time, the mutation regenerated, and the ears of the two close to the stone wall came from a continuous zaza
Sound, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, it is already in a desperate situation, and it doesn't matter what mechanism comes out. Miracles often happen in an instant, and suddenly, with a bang, the stone wall on the other side of the slab actually disappeared out of thin air, and the two people fell to the ground as if they had fallen into a waterfall.
Tang Feng rolled on the ground several times before he could barely stand up, and Liu Yue fell further, Tang Feng walked up to Liu Yue and pulled her up, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Great. Liu Yue said, "We are saved." ”
Tang Feng walked to the place where the stone wall suddenly disappeared just now, he looked at the ground, this was a stone slab half thick, and now, the whole stone slab had sunk into the ground, just parallel to the ground. Liu Yue looked at the heavy stone slab and asked Tang Fengdao, "What's going on?"
"This is supposed to be a chain mechanism, and the water is not released to kill people, but to open the second mechanism. ”
Tang Feng asked Liu Yue, "By the way, did you touch anything before the stone wrench fell?" ”
Liu Yue shook her head and said, "No." Tang Feng thought about it, the mechanism should be at the foot of the position they were just now, Liu Yue triggered the first mechanism, the stone slab behind him suddenly fell to seal the entire space, and then the water pressure triggered the second mechanism, when the water pressure was enough, the stone slab on the other side fell into the ground, this is an extremely complex set of mechanisms, the designer's purpose is not to hurt people, but to isolate the space and hide the building under the underground palace, which also confirms Tang Feng's previous judgment.
Tang Feng turned to look at the other end, this is another tomb road that extends downward, Tang Feng took out a flashlight from his backpack, the flashlights used by the archaeologists are all waterproof, and they can still be used after flooding, the flashlight is on, and the hideous demons and monsters on the stone walls on both sides are vaguely recognizable, Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "What to do now." ”
Tang Feng said: "There are still many unsolved mysteries here, Liu Yue, are you willing to go on an adventure together?" This tomb road is indeed very weird, and many things Tang Feng can't explain, for example, why is this enclosed space different from the outside, the air here is very fresh, there is a lot of oxygen, where does this oxygen come from?
Liu Yue smiled and nodded, and said, "Anyway, this life was picked up, and if there is a way back behind, it is better to go all the way forward." ”
Probably because Song Huizong himself was not buried here, so, except for the traps on the ground, the entire underground palace did not find a mechanism for the purpose of killing and injuring invaders, perhaps, the people who closed the imperial tomb at that time still wanted to recover the Central Plains.
Although neither of them thought that there was a mechanism in the tomb, they were very careful when walking, and Tang Feng turned back three times in one step, and the hammer in his hand kept tapping on the ground.
The two of them in the tomb have already slipped the concept of time, I don't know how long it took, the two came to the end of the tomb, Tang Feng roughly estimated, the length of this tomb road is about 150 meters, and it has extended down for seventy or eighty meters. Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "This place should be below the level of the deep pool, I wonder how they solved the problem of water seepage?"
Tang Feng said: "There is only one explanation, the rock formation between the underground palace and the deep pool is impermeable. ”
At this time, another tomb door appeared in front of them, Tang Feng knocked on it, this tomb door was different from the previous tomb door, this was a wooden tomb door. Liu Yue said: "Tang Feng, you see there are words here. ”
The wooden tomb door is painted with colorful paintings, all of them are some monsters that modern people have never heard of, there is a row of large seal characters left directly above the tomb door, the seal characters are definitely not difficult for Tang Feng and Liu Yue, but the content of the words is somewhat terrifying, and there are five words written on it - trespassers will die!
There are many ways for the ancients to fight tomb robbery, most of them are real tricks, and carving a spell on the tomb door is more like a bluff, which is to psychologically deter tomb robbers.
The tomb spell is said by many people to be miraculous, the most famous is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutang Carmen, the content at the end of the tomb is very fantastical, and the humanistic pen who wrote this sentence is also good, the content is - whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh, the wings of death will fall on his head. The Mausoleum of Tutang Carmen is famous not because of this incantation, but because of the story that happened later, and the archaeologists involved in the excavation all died in the end.
Tang Feng looked at Liu Yue and asked, "Liu Yue, what do you think?"
had the experience of escaping death once, Liu Yue was much bolder, she said: "Don't ask, it must be a lie." ”
Of course, the tomb robbers would not believe these nonsense, Tang Feng said, "Then open it and take a look." With that, he stretched out his hand and pushed towards the tomb door.
The strange thing is that this tomb door was not sealed, but only covered, Tang Feng just gently pushed, squeak, the tomb door opened, and the situation behind the tomb door made the two stunned.
Liu Yue said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing. What Tang Feng never dreamed of was that there would be light in the tomb, which was not the most important thing, the most critical thing was that the light came in from the water. Many things cannot be described in words, the water surface we usually see is horizontal, it is parallel, and the horizontal plane in the burial chamber is almost vertical, it is standing up water.
This three-dimensional water is in the round hole in the front of the tomb, and the light is also penetrated from the round hole, and what is even more unimaginable is that there are aquatic plants floating with the current in the round hole, and there are still live fish swimming in the aquatic plants, that is to say, in addition to the vertical water surface, the water in the round hole is exactly the same as the water we usually see, and now, the question arises, why does this water not flow out?
"I see!" Liu Yue suddenly realized: "The oxygen here is because of the aquatic plants in the water, because this is a closed space, the air cannot be discharged, and the air pressure keeps the water out." "It's like putting a bottle directly into the water, as long as there is air in it, the water can't get in, and the tomb is a huge bottle.
Tang Feng also understood why the second mechanism had to be triggered by water, because the designer needed to completely enclose the space. Once the air overflows from the other end, the water on this side will gush out, and in order to prevent this from happening, the mechanism must wait until the small space is filled with water, and if there is a gap in the stone slab at the other end, it will leak, and the space will never be filled, and the stone slab on the other side will not open.
It can be seen from this that the saying of "death to trespassers" is not unreasonable, and if the stone door that is isolated from the air is forcibly opened, the consequences will be unimaginable. The designer Li Cheng is worthy of being the grandfather of engineering design, and his design is not the last, but it is certainly unprecedented.
Liu Yue walked in front of the water with a small wing, and she asked Tang Feng softly, "If I enter the water now, what do you guess will be?"
Tang Feng immediately said: "You must not try, you may be swept away by the current." "It's so complicated, no one knows what the consequences will be.
Liu Yue asked Tang Feng again: "I still can't figure out one thing, when this place was built, what method did Li Cheng use to stop the water from pouring in. ”
The vertical surface of the water completely attracted the attention of the two people, and Tang Feng almost forgot about the business, but fortunately, there was still the blood of the tomb robbers flowing in him, and he quickly put aside these inexplicable things and began to hunt for treasures. The whole tomb area is about the size of a basketball court, the overall feeling is more like a park, rockeries and strange stones are numerous, maybe Song Huizong continued for more than 20 years "Huashi Gang" and this tomb is not unrelated, to Tang Feng's disappointment, there are no rare treasures in the tomb, Song Huizong, the emperor who advocates collection, did not put his collection into the tomb, Tang Feng began to hate Jin Bing, if they invaded the Northern Song Dynasty a few years later, everything would be different.
At this time, Tang Feng fell in love with the mural located in the corner of the tomb, on which a snow-capped mountain climbed into the clouds was painted in a colorful way, and the proportions of this mural were completely out of balance, and from the rivers on both sides of the snow-capped mountain, it looked more like a map.
On the right side of the snow-capped mountain, there are two rivers marked very thickly, which are easily distinguishable from the curve, which should be the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, because the far end of the mural is the sea. From ancient times to the present, there are two rivers that flow from the snow-capped mountains to the sea in China are the most famous, that is, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the upper rivers are in the shape of "several", and the lower rivers are in the shape of bowstrings.
On the left side of the snow mountain, there is a hill that is much lower than the snow mountain, next to the hill is marked with a row of black italicized small characters, because the font has not been carved by the seal, just an ordinary handwritten brush word, the age is too far away The handwriting has been mottled and blurred, Tang Feng only vaguely saw the nine words of "the ancestral Shengwang Temple set ancient and modern", of course, although the words in the middle can not be seen, but the vacancy can be seen. The first half of the sentence can still be seen, and the second half of the sentence is only three words left - "fur ear." There is punctuation behind the ear, indicating that the sentence has been written, and it is unknown what the first few spaces are.
Tang Feng stared at the mural for a long time and didn't see anything famous, suddenly, a yellowed piece of shredded paper on the ground fell into Tang Feng's eyes, he picked up the shredded paper casually and looked at it, this is a fragment of an engineering drawing, Tang Feng understood it at a glance.
"Tang Feng, what do I ask you? What do you say, how did he stop the water from pouring in?" Liu Yue over there saw that Tang Feng didn't speak, and walked over and asked.
Tang Feng just wanted to speak, when suddenly, a strange cold wind blew in the tomb.
"Tang Feng, look!" Liu Yue pointed to the water in the round hole and said to Tang Feng, "The water is surging forward." ”
Tang Feng immediately knew what was going on, someone was opening the stone door that blocked the air! He immediately shouted loudly: "Liu Yue, run!"
"Whoa!" With a bang, water gushed out of the cave!
