Chapter 230: The Tomb Mechanism
Li Mingguang and the others waited for the county to send someone down to help, but the wolf dog had already begun to act.
They took advantage of the night to finally open the robbery hole, not only took out the precious cultural relics buried in the ground, but also entered the underground imperial tomb.
Entering the imperial mausoleum, only Hua Rong, wolf dog and a person named Qian Ba, wolf dog saw that the road in front of him was spacious, with a flashlight, he could see the faint golden light in the distant tomb, so he thought there was a treasure, wanted to go over, but was stopped by Hua Rong.
"Brother dog, you're looking for death!"
The wolf dog was startled by his words and hurriedly asked what it meant.
Hua Rong pointed to the long tomb and said, "There is a mechanism!"
"Is there a mechanism in this tomb? I thought it was just nonsense in a novel. The wolf dog said tremblingly, although he was not afraid of the sky and the earth outside, but he was actually afraid of death.
Hua Rong said: "I have encountered several kinds of mechanisms when I arrived at the target before, including quicksand to protect the tomb, a hidden weapon flap, and a suffocating poisonous gas, and even some people specially raise some murderous insects in the tomb, which I have seen with my own eyes." ”
"Then does this imperial tomb have a mechanism?"
"I can't confirm it yet, but in order to have a proper period, we have to try, let Liu Haiyang and them go and get a few sheep to come in, while it is dark, there are also a lot of sheep in this village, which is convenient." But remember, you must stop the sheep's mouth, don't let it bark, otherwise it will be bad. Hua Rong said.
The wolf dog listened to Hua Rong's words, so he ordered Qian Ba to go up and take a few people to steal sheep, and Liu Haiyang was familiar with it. Stealing sheep was not a problem, and it didn't take long. I've already brought three sheep.
The sheep's mouth was entangled and it couldn't make a sound. Therefore, they were not afraid to alarm others, so they put the sheep into the tomb, and then went to the trial.
Hua Rong let the sheep go in the tomb, and then whipped it, and the sheep ran forward in pain, and just reached the center of the tomb, and suddenly fell headlong, because the sheep's mouth had been loosened, so the sheep could obviously be heard screaming. And then there was no breath.
"What is this?" Qian Ba asked as he took a step back in fright.
"This is the flip trap!" Hua Rong said with a frown.
"Flip trap! I thought this kind of thing was only in fiction, but I hadn't heard of it. The wolf dog said.
"That's right, the flip trap has not been unearthed, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have zài. And in fact, even if it is unearthed, it may be a different way, and you may not be able to associate it with a trap at all, because if it is simply unearthed, it may be just a stone slab, an iron plate, and a bunch of sharp objects. Some flap traps fail because they are buried with silt. It's hard to notice. Hua Rong explained.
"I see, I didn't expect this knowledge to be quite big. Wolf Dog said.
"The knowledge is great, but it's just that we tomb robbers have suffered, and many ancestors have died on these institutions. Hua Rong shook his head and said.
"And how are we going to crack this flap trap?" asked the wolfdog. Because he was very interested in the thing in front of him that was illuminated by a flashlight, and immediately emitted a golden light, and he really couldn't stand this curiosity.
"It's simple. I've just seen it, and the flap trap here is relatively simple. And because of the age, some have been stuck or blocked by the silt. Just now the sheep ran out almost half, only to touch the trap, which means that the front flap trap has failed, according to the situation just now can be analyzed, the flap trap here is about three feet wide, in terms of current weights and measures, it is about one meter, and it should not be a flap, this way is estimated to have seven or eight, if you think you can jump far over the first flap, then you are dead, because it is likely to fall directly into the second flap trap. Hua Rong analyzed.
"Don't just analyze, tell me how we got over. "The wolf dog is in a hurry.
"It's very simple, just walk against the wall, maybe because of the earthquake or other relationships, these flap traps have changed a lot from the original design, as long as we walk against the wall, there will be no danger, but remember, as long as you keep a distance of about a foot, otherwise I will not be responsible for falling. ”
"Qian Ba, you take the lead!" ordered the wolf dog.
"Brother dog, we can't do this, I'm afraid of death. Qian Ba shrank his head and said.
"If you're afraid of a ball, you lead the sheep and let the sheep go ahead, and if there is a trap, just loosen the reins of the sheep. The wolf dog said.
"I ......" Qian Ba still didn't dare.
"You'd better be smart, and if you don't, then don't blame me for being rude. The wolf dog said viciously.
"Okay, Brother Dog, don't be embarrassed for him, I'll take the lead. Hua Rong volunteered: "I am familiar with these traps, and I have kung fu, so I can save myself at a critical time." ”
The reason why Hua Rong did this was actually because he didn't want his pig teammates to do anything wrong, and he had an accident in the tomb robbery because the person in front of him accidentally touched the mechanism, which made him very wolf, and finally almost lost his life.
Hearing that Hua Rong volunteered, Qian Ba breathed a sigh of relief, and the wolf dog also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Rong led a sheep in front, to be precise, the sheep should lead him, because the sheep walked in front, and he walked behind, it is actually very simple to want this, just throw a handful of grass on the road ahead, of course, if it is wheat, it is better, sheep like to eat wheat.
Behind him walked Qian Ba, and finally the wolf dog, who also led a sheep, ready to be used for other purposes.
Walking to the place where the sheep died just now, the three of them subconsciously glanced down and found that the whole sheep was poked into a blur of flesh and blood, and all the spikes below were similar to swords, guns, swords, and halberds, although many of them were rusty, but they were still useful, and there were also some spikes of stones, which would not rust.
In addition to these, there are many bones. At first glance, I knew that it was a human bone, and it was estimated that a tomb robber had once entered. But he was killed by this flip trap.
"It's so dangerous, fortunately, there is second brother Hua. Otherwise, it's troublesome. Qian Ba shuddered, he was really shocked.
"But these ancient people are really smart, you see this flap is really exquisitely designed. A shaft is installed in the middle of the flap, and when the person touches the mechanism, it falls down all at once, and then the flap returns to its original state, as if nothing had happened. The wolf dog exclaimed.
"You're right, but the flap trap here is no longer good, look at the slate that has just been turned up. Now it can't be tightly sealed, and the people who come behind know it's a trap at a glance. Hua Rong said.
"Yes, no matter how good the trap is, it can't withstand the ravages of time, I heard that those crossbows, poisoned arrows and other hidden weapon traps in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang have actually been invalid for a long time, and they have no effect at all, that is, it is more troublesome to deal with mercury vapor, only to wear chemical protective clothing, and rely on oxygen cylinders to breathe. The wolf dog nodded.
"Even if you have a chemical protective suit and an oxygen cylinder, it's not safe. Because you don't know if there's any other danger. Hua Rong said again.
"That's right, I've seen it in the novel, saying that there is a trap called Tianbao Dragon Fire Glass Top, which is called fierce. Once it touches the air, the whole tomb will burn down, which is a scary. The owner of the tomb would rather his tomb be destroyed than stolen. The wolf dog said.
"The stuff in the novel is too mysterious. At least in reality, I haven't encountered that trap. However, there are people who pour fire oil into the tombs as rivers, because the air does not flow all year round, and the air is filled with a large amount of combustible gas. Hua Rong shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Qian Ba, who originally wanted to smoke a cigarette and strengthen his courage, hurriedly put away the lighter.
"Don't be too afraid, there shouldn't be anything like that in this tomb, because you can't smell it. Hua Rong smiled, comforted Qian Ba, and then continued to walk forward.
When the tomb was about to end, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Hua Rong's face suddenly changed, and he rushed forward.
He moved very fast, and after the wolf dog who walked at the end saw it, he knew that he must not be able to move forward, so he retreated backwards instead, and the speed was also very fast.
Only Qian Ba was in the middle, too late to move forward, too late to go backward, and as a result, he was dropped by a boulder, smashed directly on his head, and fell into the trap pit below.
There are about ten centimeters of knife and cone sharp weapons under this pit, not to mention that Qian Ba was stoned to death by the boulder at the beginning, even if he didn't die, he was poked into a bloody blur by this knife and cone sharp weapon.
"What's going on, second child?" shouted the wolf dog in shock.
"The sheep stepped on the trap, and the dog's day was actually a chain trap, not only a chain flap, but also a rope hanging stone, which was really ruthless. Hua Rong escaped his life, and he also had a chill in his heart.
The function of the iron cable hanging stone is similar to that of the chain flap, which is mainly to fix a number of metal pulleys at the top of the tomb and the hidden place of the wall, and use the pulleys to lift the boulder and hang it at the top. The underground of the cemetery is paved with wooden seesaws, and the cable chain is lowered by the stone slabs, and the rockers are connected in a concealed way through guò pulleys, and there are hooks and unhooks in the middle, which can automatically fall off when pressed by external forces. The rocker is strip-shaped, and the length and width vary according to the specific conditions of the tomb.
The hanging stone can be hung on the top of the tomb for three layers, each layer is not dependent on each other, and the hole in the cable chain guò stone shrinks in and out.
After the completion of a qiē, it is disguised, and outsiders do not know its deception.
If a tomb robber enters the door and steps on the stilt, the external force forces the tight rope chain to fall off somewhere in a hook, just like the wheel of digging a well suddenly relaxes, and the hanging boulder falls rapidly, slapping the tomb robber who can't dodge into a meatloaf.
Because the rocker is in the shape of a narrow strip, it can only be guided to the ground after being stepped on, while the other adjacent rockers are unharmed, still lying quietly in place waiting for the next group of tomb robbers to enter. Once the thief's footsteps are taken, the hanging stones attached to them fall one after another, dealing a fatal blow to the daring again. This goes on and on until the three layers of hanging rocks fall to the ground, killing and injuring several people.
"Why didn't you find out sooner?"
"Who knew that the owner of this tomb was insane, and actually used the chain flap and the iron cable hanging stone together, I have never seen it before, and I have never heard of this kind of second-hand design. Hua Rong also had a headache.
"What now?"
"What else can I do, Qian Ba is dead, just leave it alone, I'll go to the front to see what the situation is, Brother Dog, don't come here yet, beware of other traps, I found out that the designer of this mausoleum is a psychopath!" (To be continued......)
