Chapter Seventy-Three

Qin Kun grabbed Tan Xixi, "Dangerous! β
Tan Xixi gave him a small searchlight, "You come and help me shine it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, he turned his arm, gently and skillfully broke away from Qin Kun's hand, jumped into the pit neatly, chose a position to kneel on one knee, and then pointed to a half-meter square area in front of him and raised his head, "Just look at this position, your hand is steady, don't shake." β
Her movements were surprisingly fast, Qin Kun didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly squatted down/leaned down, trying to get as close to the edge of the pit as possible, and the light of the searchlight in her hand was firmly aimed at the place Tan Xixi was pointing at.
Yaoxiang wanted to come over to help, but was pulled by Deputy Director Wang.
Yaoxiang was anxious, he struggled twice and didn't break free, and glared at him angrily.
Deputy Director Wang was self-aware, knowing that Qin Kun and his assistant must have a very negative opinion of themselves at this time, so he could only smile bitterly and whispered, "The pit is such a big place, don't go over and make trouble." β
Yaoxiang said angrily in a low voice, "Who is going to make trouble!" I'm going to help Brother Kun. β
Deputy Director Wang exerted his strength to eat milk, pulled him to his side, stood at the back very low-key, and whispered, "Don't make trouble!" Mr. Huo in front of him, none of Mr. Lin are easy to mess with. Miss Tan seems to be willing to protect Qin Kun, you have no one to protect you in the past, who thinks that you are blocking his sight and giving you a kick is enough for you, and the program team will count you as a work injury at most. β
Yaoxiang thought about it, so he had to endure not to move forward, and only stared wide-eyed.
I saw that Tan Xixi did not push down the two stone slabs on the ground as Professor Lin said, but used his gloved hand to gently and slowly grope along the edge of the stone slabs from top to bottom.
Professor Lin and James also stepped forward to watch.
Tan Xixi touched it very carefully, his face was solemn, and his speed was extremely slow, and it took almost twenty minutes to touch all sides of the two small stone doors at the bottom of the pit.
Professor Lin couldn't help but ask, "Miss Tan thinks there are other ways to open these two small stone doors?" β
Tan Xixi didn't answer, only raised his head and made a silent gesture very seriously.
More than a dozen people around her and more than twenty eyes were all focused on her, and no one spoke, and at this time, there was no breath, and the sound of the waves could be heard in the distance.
Tan Xixi clasped the outside of the two small stone doors with both hands about a third of the way, and lifted them up with a slight force
There was a soft "squeak", and Tan Xixi's movements were immediately stunned.
Everyone was holding their breath, it was so quiet that the slightest sound could make people nervous. James and Lin Songpeng are nervous about what will be under the tension, and Qin Kun and Yaoxiang are nervous about Tan Xixi's safety.
Cold sweat flowed out of Yaoxiang's head, Qin Kun looked calmer than him, but his back was a little stiff, holding the lamp steadily next to the pit, not shaking for a while, only reminding softly, "Be careful!" β
Tan Xixi's movements were extremely slow, looking at the pull of his wrist, it seemed that he was not just lifting up, the fingers buckled behind the two sides of the stone gate were still moving horizontally, fiddling with something, and at the same time lowered his head and listened carefully.
"Click, click, click, click......"
Qin Kun's palms were full of cold sweat when he heard this, although no danger had happened until now, he felt that he had seen the power of the ancient tomb mechanism.
The main thing is that it is too fearful, and the allusion to the sword of Damocles is frequently mentioned for no reason, this threat is really too fatal.
After a series of light sounds that seemed to have some regularity, Tan Xixi suddenly exerted his arms together, and a clearer sound sounded "click".
Tan Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's open!" β
Professor Lin guessed a little, but he wasn't quite sure, and asked, "Could it be that there is a mandarin duck secret lock behind the door?" β
Tan Xixi said "um", "Fortunately, it's a secret lock with a three-ring password." β
James was surprised, "At that time, there was a combination lock?" β
Tan Xixi was silent, obviously too lazy to pay attention to this kind of laymanship.
Professor Lin explained to James, "Yes, combination locks actually appeared very early, and the craftsmanship of making combination locks in China was already very exquisite during the Qin and Han dynasties. Legend has it that when the first emperor sacrificed Mount Tai, there were skilled craftsmen who offered the supreme meridian mandarin duck lock in the lock, there are three lock cylinders, each lock cylinder contains twelve kinds of changes, this should be the earliest combination lock, but it is just a legend, the more common combination lock in later generations is to engrave a figure or text on more than three wheels to form a password, and when you want to open it, you must turn the small wheel to the combination of the setting. β
"That's amazing!" James raised an eyebrow and whispered a foul word.
Lin Songpeng, who had been silently watching, suddenly asked Tan Xixi, who was still half-kneeling at the bottom of the pit, "Miss Tan, where did you get the password?" β
Tan Xixi glanced at him lightly, "I don't know the password, where can I find this kind of password set hundreds of years ago?" β
Lin Songpeng didn't give up, "Then how can you open the lock?" β
Tan Xixi frowned impatiently, but still explained, "Listen to the voice, I used to have a friend who specialized in how to open this ancient combination lock, because it is too old, it is not realistic to find the password, but the number of rubs in the place where the password is set is different from other places, and the sound of the mechanism moving to that position will be different, so experienced people can hear it if they listen carefully." β
James smiled, "Meng Lin, Miss Tan is very powerful, I took a lot of effort to invite her to cooperate with me, if you want to get something, you have to be polite to her." β
When Yao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but glare at him quietly at the end, thinking: hypocrisy! It seems that the person who stopped Xixi and Brother Kun just now was not you
Lin Songpeng's black face had a serious expression, "May I ask who Miss Tan's friend isβ?" β
Tan Xixi said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you!" β
Lin Songpeng was not angry when he touched a nail, and changed his words to urge, "The locks have been opened, why don't you take a look at what's underneath?" β
Tan Xixi's expression became solemn again, "It's not that simple. β
The person who asked James asked for protective goggles to put on, and the gloves on his hands were replaced by a pair of thick wire protective gloves, and he changed the embroidery style of the two people who used small brushes to carefully brush the soil just now, took a sapper shovel, raised it and smashed open the two small stone doors.
She still moved fast as usual, and the people around her only had time to make a slight "pout" before the stone door was smashed open.
James, Professor Lin, and Lin Songpeng should all be very important about what is below, and at the same time exclaimed, "Watch out for what's inside!" β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud sound of "Peng", and the sapper shovel in Tan Xixi's hand was taken off, and the person fell back suddenly.
Qin Kun threw down the small searchlight in his hand, turned over and jumped down to help her, "Xixi!" β
Tan Xixi stabilized his body and waved his hand at Qin Kun, "It's okay, I'm afraid that there will be something shooting out of it, so I deliberately dodged it." β
Everyone's eyes widened, only to see that after the two small stone doors were knocked open by Tan Xixi's sapper shovel, a swarthy hole half a meter square was revealed on the ground, and the sapper shovel was standing in the middle of the hole.
James shouted, "Where's the lamp? Searchlights shine through! β
Someone picked up the small searchlight that Qin Kun had dropped and aimed it at the square hole. Only then did everyone see the situation in the square cave, and after seeing it clearly, they all felt a chill behind their backs.
I saw that the sapper shovel was sandwiched in the middle by the knife board that came out of the left and right sides, the blades on the two blades were very dense, and the blade was shining faintly under the light of the searchlight, which could be seen to be very sharp.
Professor Lin inhaled with a hiss, exclaiming, "This is the Semen knife cart!" β
Tan Xixi nodded, "Small." β
Professor Lin was obviously shocked by such a small place and such a powerful mechanism, and stared at it for a long time, until Tan Xixi checked it again and made sure that there was no more danger, beckoning someone to pry open the two blades and take out a black old wooden box below, then he shook his head and sighed, "I should have brought more equipment here if I knew it, I really underestimated here." I originally thought that such a small place, even if it was an anti-theft mechanism, it would definitely not be powerful, but I didn't expect that although the scale of this place is small, but although the sparrow is small, there is no ambiguity at all, and even the Saimen knife car can be made into such a small one. β
James also had a little palpitations, just now fortunately, Lin Songpeng came up with an idea to let Qin Kun open the second stone door, which forced Tan Xixi to make a move, otherwise with him and Lin Songpeng's men, no one would be able to open the three-ring password secret lock, not to mention, even if the lock was pried open by mistake, it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would be seriously injured in the back!
These two knife cars are so powerful, and it doesn't matter what kind of protective gloves they wear!
A subordinate is still disabled in the second, the main arm was poked by the flesh and bones, it is hard to guarantee that it will not scream in pain, this small island is a big place, it is really troublesome, and it will be a big trouble to be found to take someone to secretly excavate here!
glanced at Tan Xixi, and became more and more determined to continue to cooperate with her, but this Miss Tan has obviously kept a hand all along, and she is not very proactive, as if the success of this matter is not the most important thing to her, but this is a little difficult to do
Thinking that he must have offended her a lot just now, for the sake of future cooperation, he must ease the relationship first, so he opened his mouth with a haha, "What kind of knife car is this?" How did Miss Tan see that there was this thing down there? β
Tan Xixi listened to James's tone much more polite than before, knowing that he was taking the initiative to show goodwill, although he was very disgusted with this person in his heart, but the Huo family's face could not be refuted casually, and the current situation was not suitable for turning his face with him, so he replied lightly, "It's called the Saimen knife car, which was originally a defensive equipment used to block the city gate during the defense of the city, and the earliest age of its appearance is no longer available, but it should be very early, it is to put the knife wall equipped with dozens of rows of sharp knives on the car, and stand by at any time when the enemy attacks the city, When the gate is opened, the car is pushed over to block the gap, which can not only kill and injure the enemy, but also block arrows, throw stones, and be difficult to climb, killing three birds with one stone. Later, this kind of knife cart was used for tomb anti-theft, often the two opposite walls are movable knife walls, the simplest is to make the tomb roof of the main tomb into a knife wall, as long as someone touches the mechanism, the knife wall will be pushed out. I didn't know there was this thing underneath, but I felt that the three-ring lock in front was a bit too simple, so I tested it a little more for the sake of caution. β
Professor Lin came over with the wooden box he found at the bottom of the pit and nodded at James, "That's right, it looks similar to the thing that Mr. Meng Lin found on the snowy mountain." β
James immediately ordered him to go back, leaving two of his men to fill in the pit and restore the ground to its original state.
Lin Songpeng walked over, his eyes sharp, "Mr. Huo, it's okay to cooperate, it's not appropriate for you to take things and leave like this!" β
James frowned and smiled, "You can't start your research here, it's better for Mr. Monlin to come with us, our residence is not far from here." β
Lin Songpeng exhaled through his nose, "Living anywhere on the island is not far from here, so it's better to study it here before leaving." β
James was a little reluctant, "This-"
Lin Songpeng reminded him, "Mr. Huo, cooperation is fair, I didn't hesitate when I showed Mr. Huo yesterday that I found that thing in the Snow Mountain. β
James agreed, "Okay. β
Professor Lin took out the wooden box that had been put away again, and praised before opening it, "This box alone is a rare good thing, don't look at its black and old, in fact, it is buried in the ground for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is very good to be able to keep it like this, this is made of golden silk nanmu, it is said that buried in the ground can not rot for thousands of years, and the coffins of the emperors of the past dynasties are also mostly made of golden silk nanmu." β
In the wooden box is a string of Buddhist beads, a total of fourteen, the material looks like gold Buddha beads, each bead has a word on it, the handwriting is clumsy, it is difficult to read.
Professor Lin is an expert in this area, and it didn't take long to identify it, but he didn't know much about the meaning of it, and he was puzzled, "It says that the dragon cave in the southwest is bottomless, there is a dragon god haunting, and there are strange treasures hidden under it." This looks like a myth and legend, not like a clue to the guide. β
Lin Songpeng said dryly, "Ninety kilometers southwest of Woody Island is Jinqing Island, and there is the world's deepest ocean blue hole on the reef on the northeast side of Jinqing Island. β
James, "It's not going to mean the hole. β
Professor Lin nodded, "Very likely." β
Tan Xixi didn't participate in their discussion, and after glancing at the Buddhist beads in the wooden box, she gestured for Qin Kun to leave with her.
Qin Kun walked with her silently for a while, and suddenly found that it was the direction back to the guest house, although Tan Xixi, who knew that he was in this state now, was very powerful, but he was really not used to being sent back to his residence by a woman at night, and stood still, "Xixi, where do you live?" β
Tan Xixi also just stopped, suddenly turned around and hugged Qin Kun's waist, and buried his face in his shoulder, "You're finally fine, scared me to death."
οΌ β
Qin Kun did feel a little scared when he thought of what happened just now, hugged Tan Xixi back, and gently caressed her back to comfort, "You were very powerful just now, and you're fine." At the same time, I feel that this fleshy, textured and elastic body is also a comfort to myself.
Tan Xixi seems to have changed back to her chubby version of Tan Xixi, hugging Qin Kun and not letting go, her tone was full of grievances and fear, "I'm scared to death, I'm afraid that I won't catch up if I'm too slow." β
Qin Kun heard that something was wrong, held Tan Xixi's shoulder, pushed her away a little and asked, "Why are you afraid that you will be one step slower and not catch up?" "Obviously, he brought Yaoxiang over by himself, and when he came, Tan Xixi and James. Huo was already there.
Tan Xixi raised his eyes and looked at him, "The investor of your show has a big problem, it should be that you want to use the cover of this show to go to a few specific places to dig things, and there are dangers in several places, Lin Songpeng's full name should be Meng Lin. Ode. Pommorrah, he - he's the general's man. β
When he said about the general, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Yaoxiang caught up from behind, seeing that the two of them were holding each other and talking, the corners of his eyes twitched, it stands to reason that at this time, he should immediately flash people and let the two of them be in the world, but he was frightened for half a night, and his head was full of questions that needed to be answered, so he stepped forward directly to disturb, "Xixi, Brother Kun, what the hell is going on?" It scared the hell out of me! β
Tan Xixi made a long story short, "There is a problem with the investor of this show, and it wants to use the cover of the show to go to several places to excavate antiquities, and those places are very dangerous, so I found another group of people who also want to discover this batch of things, and followed them." β
Yaoxiang and Qin Kun thought about it, it was really dangerous, if James and Tan Xixi hadn't arrived in time the day before yesterday to stop Qin Kun's group from continuing to dig down, maybe his and Deng Shiyou's arms would have been scrapped.
This is a remote island, the medical conditions are poor, and if such a serious injury is not treated in time, I am afraid that it is not only as simple as missing an arm and becoming disabled, but also a life.
Yaoxiang thought about it and broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and complained, "Xixi, why didn't you say it earlier when you knew that there was danger, you knew that Brother Kun would definitely not come, even if you pay liquidated damages, it is better than taking such a big risk!" β
Tan Xixi's face was full of apologies, "I didn't think about it at first, I just thought that Lin Songpeng's name was so familiar, and it wasn't until you set off that I suddenly remembered who he was. β
Qin Kun and Yaoxiang glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Yaoxiang comforted himself, "Okay, okay, it's better to think about it in time than to not be able to remember it all the time, hurry up and go back to rest, listen to them, I will go to Jinqing Island tomorrow again." β
Tan Xixi wasn't too worried this time, "It's okay, the clue to Jinqing Island is a confusing thing, it's useless to find it, and there's no danger in hiding things." β
Qin Kun was keenly aware of the problem, "You haven't even looked for it yet, how do you know so clearly?" β
Tan Xixi blinked innocently, "I don't know, but I just know." β
Qin Kun rubbed the corners of his forehead, "Then you should always know what these things they are looking for at great lengths?" Is it worth the money or is it useful? β
Tan Xixi replied weakly, "I don't know either." β
