Volume 5 Qinling Evil Charm Chapter 423 Revisit the Poison Cave
In fact, there was not much danger in entering the tomb again, after all, most of the dangers had been removed before, and the three of them were wearing gas masks, even if the poisonous gas in the tomb had not been dissipated, it would not pose a threat to them.
Smoothly arrived at the core burial chamber, the two wooden doors of the core burial chamber were tightly closed, and Poplar pushed it with his hand, but he couldn't move.
This certainly shows that in that extremely urgent situation, Chen Xiaopang still maintained his composure and closed the two wooden doors tightly. At the same time, it also means that after the wooden door is closed tightly, the wooden latch behind the wooden door has also been reclosed.
The mechanism that opened the latch was on the left side of the door, and now it was covered by a 40-centimeter-high long stone bar that had fallen from the top, and in order to activate the mechanism, it was necessary to remove the long stone bar first.
But not only does the strip of feldspar fit the width of the walls on either side, but its front is also close to the two wooden doors.
In other words, if you want to remove this large stone bar, you can only force it from one side, not from both ends.
Furthermore, the end of this passage near the wooden door is much wider, and the corresponding large stone bar is also wide at one end and narrow at the other, so even if you try to lift this large stone bar, you can't move it at all.
Poplar tried to plunge the black sword into the gap between the stone bar and the wall, but after repeated attempts, he was unable to tilt the blade of the sword to flick the mechanism on the wall.
All three frowned.
Tie Niu sighed and said, "It's not difficult to lift this big stone, but if you want to move this big stone bar and expose the mechanism that opens the door, I'm afraid you have to expand this end of the passage!"
Poplar didn't say anything, just looked up and down.
Li Jianjun sighed: "Such a big stone, if our group is to lift it, it will be very difficult to even lift it! So if our group comes in, if we want to continue to move forward, we can only destroy these two wooden doors!"
"Otherwise, let's just knock these two wooden doors open, I don't believe that the latch inside can still stop me from colliding with Lao Bai!" said Tie Niu.
Poplar glanced at him and asked him, "If the little fat brother is here, do you think he will let us break these two wooden doors?"
Tie Niu opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Anyway, Brother Xiaopang is not here now", and then thought that Chen Xiaopang's life and death are uncertain now, and the reason why Baiyang deliberately mentioned Chen Xiaopang is probably precisely for this.
So Tie Niu nodded honestly and said, "Little Fat Brother will definitely say that these two wooden doors are priceless, and if they can not be broken......, they should not be broken!" What else can we do?"
Instead of answering immediately, Poplar jumped onto the stone bar and tiptoed up to observe the pit on his head that had been formed by the fall of the stone.
Tie Niu and Li Jianjun didn't know what he wanted to do, but they didn't ask questions.
After a while, Poplar finally lowered his face and said, "There shouldn't be another stone bar falling from above in this pit!"
"Definitely not!" Tie Niu interfaced, "This stone bar weighs at least a thousand catties, and people three thousand years ago could hang this stone bar as a mechanism, and they don't know how to do it, how can they still add such a big stone bar on top of this stone bar?...... What the hell are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking, let's lift the stone bar from one end later, as high as possible, and then another person will get in from under the stone bar, and lift the other end of the stone bar as well, and finally Brother Li will get in and press this mechanism!" Bai Yang explained.
But his explanation Li Jianguo was at a loss, and Tie Niu also thought for a long time before he understood, and couldn't help but slap his face, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you still have a way! But the person who got in and lifted the other head had to work harder, so I would have to do it, Lao Bai, you can't rob me!"
"Don't worry, your strength is already greater than mine, so I naturally won't rob you!" Bai Yang smiled.
Li Jianjun took a breath and said: "Such a huge stone, but you are casually talking about how to lift it up, although I have seen the iron ox lift the huge stone at the entrance of Wang Jiutang's tomb before, but ...... It's still hard for me to digest and understand!"
Tie Niu smiled, and Poplar squatted down, first using a dagger to pull out a part of the stone bricks on the ground that had been smashed by the stone bars under the narrow end of the stone bar, and then he put away the dagger, stood side by side with the iron ox, each rolled up his sleeves to luck luck, bent down and stretched his hand under the stone bar, and lifted it up violently.
The stone bar was only more than a thousand catties, and just lifting the narrower end was not a difficult task for the two of them.
The Iron Bull first helped Poplar to raise the stone as high as possible, and then Poplar carried the stone firmly on the ground with both feet, and the Iron Ox bent down and drilled under the stone.
It was only when he couldn't exert his strength that he bent his waist and bent his legs to carry the stone, exhaled suddenly, and straightened up.
But the other end of the stone bar was wider and heavier, and he stood up like this, and the other end of the wider and heavier would not be lifted off the ground unless Poplar turned his hand to press the narrower and lighter end down.
But how could the aspen turn and press down? In that case, if the iron ox could not afford it, wouldn't it be crushed by the big stones?
Fortunately, when Poplar looked at it urgently, he found that after the narrower end of the stone strip was lifted high, the wider and heavier end naturally tilted downward, and the mechanism in the corner of the wall on the left side of the gate was naturally exposed.
Poplar hurriedly shouted: "Old Black, you resist first! My previous idea was not feasible, but I could throw something from above and knock the mechanism away!"
The iron ox held back his strength to carry the stone bar, and naturally he couldn't respond to the poplar.
Bai Yang knew that with the strength of the iron ox, it would not be too difficult to carry the stone bar just by hunching his waist, so he lost the narrow end of the stone bar, and quickly found a salt cloth bag with Li Jianjun, and then looked at the dark stone brick with the mechanism hidden on the left side of the wooden door, and threw the cloth bag from the narrow end of the stone bar.
The cloth bag smashed into the stone brick accurately, smashing the stone brick into a dent. At the same time, there was a soft "click", and the latch behind the wooden door should have been removed.
Poplar breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly grabbed the stone bar with his hand again, causing the iron ox to retreat from below, and then assisted him in lowering the stone bar to the ground together.
Knowing that it was impossible for a stone bar to fall from above, several people were relieved to boldly push open the two wooden doors and enter the core tomb again.
The murals and cultural relics in the tomb also amazed Li Jianjun.
But the most important thing now is to enter the small wooden palace in the center of the tomb and see if there are any other harmful mechanisms inside.
So the three of them didn't stop long, and went directly into the side burial chamber where the coffin had been removed, and drilled into it along a downward passage exposed under the coffin.
There were no more mechanisms in the passage, and the three of them smoothly descended the passage first, and soon followed a step up the stairs to enter a narrow space-
Naturally, it was the interior of the little wooden palace.
The space area is only about 20 square meters, and there is a coffin in the middle, which already occupies more than half of the area.
However, according to the etiquette system of the "five-fold coffin of the princes", the volume of this coffin is just worthy of the specifications of the princes.
Between the coffin and the walls and roof of the wooden palace, countless thin silk threads are implicated, and if one wants to enter the space, one must cut all these thin silk threads.
"Oh my God, what are these filaments made of? How could there be technology to make such slender threads three thousand years ago?"
In fact, Bai Yang and Li Jianjun were also stunned by these thin silk threads, some of which looked like hemp rope, and some of which looked like blackened silk.
But this is the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty three thousand years ago, how can silk be preserved for so long without being corrupted?
Li Jianjun couldn't help but sigh: "Every item in this tomb is a priceless treasure! Especially this fine silk thread, if you find out what it is made of, it can almost be regarded as the most landmark discovery in the history of archaeology!"
"Lao Bai, could it be that these fine silk threads are also one of the mechanisms, and that strange music we heard at the time, could it be that these silk threads came from?" Iron Bull asked.
"Quite possibly!" replied Poplar, looking up and down the space through the threads.
It wasn't until he was almost sure that there were no other deadly mechanisms in the space that he had the audacity to gently pluck the silk thread in front of him with his fingers.
He felt that the silk thread was very tough, and it did not become crispy and easy to break because of the passage of three thousand years.
On the contrary, when he flicked it, the silk thread immediately trembled slightly, and the other silk threads that filled the space also vibrated with him.
At the same time, wisps of simple but seductive notes also emanated with the fluttering of those silk threads, entering the eardrums of the three people.
That voice was really very tempting, and it was clear that Yang Tieniu already knew that it was these few simple notes, which made them relax their vigilance and inhale a large amount of poisonous gas before, but at this time, they still couldn't help but be fascinated.
It's a pity that they can't find out if there is any poisonous gas emitted when these notes are played. And whether they should destroy these filaments or not, they can't make up their minds for a while.
In the end, Li Jianjun said: "If you want me to say that the value of these fine silk threads has exceeded those gold and jade cultural relics outside, and why these silk threads emit such musical sound, it is worth studying for a lifetime by relevant experts and scholars!
Bai Yang actually had the same idea as Li Jianjun, so he nodded in agreement first.
