Volume 5 Qinling Evil Charm Chapter 415 The passage is dangerous
The walls of this room were covered with headless white bones, and the huge clay pot buried in the middle of the house was indeed filled with human skulls.
Now, the ghosts created by this so-called "White Bone Thousand Ghost Cellar" have all been absorbed by the Soul Eater Gourd, and this room no longer poses any threat.
But the white bones on the four walls really made people panic when they looked at it, so a few people waited until Chen Xiaopang's physical strength recovered slightly, and then entered through a passage on the side.
There are also no hidden weapons in the passage, but the opening of this passage is also only about a meter wide, but the further you go inside, the more spacious it becomes.
At the end, there were two carved wooden doors that were more than two meters wide.
The wooden door is black, but it is certainly not the original color of the wood, but it should have been painted black. After 3,000 years, the two black-lacquered wooden doors do not look very old, but they are inevitably covered with dust on the surface.
Chen Xiaopang suddenly came to his senses, and cautiously leaned in front of the wooden door to take a closer look.
The wooden door is simple in style, the carvings on the top are as simple and simple as the murals in the previous children's tomb, and on the two wooden doors, there is also a bronze tiger head knocker.
"This is the first time that such a well-preserved wooden door in the Western Zhou Dynasty has been found, and it can be determined from these two wooden doors that as early as three thousand years ago, our ancestors have mastered the black lacquer process, and have already had the habit of installing tiger head door knockers!" Chen Xiaopang said, and couldn't help but laugh all over his face, "These two wooden doors alone are already a great discovery! And I can basically be sure that when you open these two wooden doors, you can enter the core tomb!"
The others were also very excited when they heard him say this.
Tie Niu recklessly reached out to push the wooden door, and Poplar grabbed it quickly, and at the same time, Hongxing also exclaimed: "Be careful!"
Tie Niu looked back in amazement and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think there's going to be a pretty powerful mechanism here!" said Poplar.
Hong Xing nodded, and at the same time, Ding Lingling also said: "I feel this way too! And this mechanism is probably above the head!"
Iron Bull was startled and hurriedly took two steps back.
As soon as Chen Xiaopang approached, he was attracted by the carvings on the wooden door, and he didn't carefully observe the surrounding situation.
Iron Bull asked, "If the mechanism is overhead, why have we all walked in and not triggered the mechanism?"
"That's because the trigger is set up on the two wooden doors, not at the feet!" replied Poplar, leaning closer to the wooden door to take a closer look.
Hongxing Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang also followed up and down and carefully investigated.
The first thing that red apricot found was the mechanism to open the door, which was a slightly darker stone brick on the left side of the gate.
But Hongxing didn't dare to press the stone brick immediately, because Bai Yang and Ding Lingling agreed that there was an extremely powerful mechanism hidden at the top of the passage.
Tie Niu looked up at the top, and saw that the top was all made of black stone strips, at least in his eyes, he really couldn't see any difference.
Poplar pointed to the seat in the left corner of the top and said, "If you look closely here, do you find a very fine pattern?"
Tie Niu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and really found that there was a line that was not too straight, and this line stretched intermittently along the corner of the wall to a place more than two meters away from the wooden door, and then disappeared.
"Look here on the right!" Poplar said, gesturing to the right corner of the top of the passage.
Tie Niu took a closer look and found that there was also a thin line, which stretched intermittently along the corner of the wall to a distance of more than two meters from the wooden door.
"Your eyesight is really good, you can see such fine lines!" Tie Niu had to admire and sigh at the same time.
Bai Yang smiled: "Originally, the most important secret to cracking the mechanism is to be careful! You are not with bad eyesight, but you are sloppy and impatient by nature, this is something that cannot be helped!"
"What do these two fine lines represent? It can't be when the mechanism is triggered, these two fine lines will suddenly become larger, and then some kind of hidden weapon will be launched from inside, right?"
"Not necessarily!" replied Poplar, "after all, there were many sharp stone cones scattered on the ground of the first house, which means that the people who built this tomb have the ability to set up some more sophisticated hidden weapons." But in my opinion, this mechanism above my head is likely to be smashed down by a whole long stone slab, and if a person stands down there, he will definitely be smashed into a meatloaf!"
Iron Bull said this again and again, and asked: "Then what should we do? We can't find the mechanism, but we don't dare to open the door, right?"
Bai Yang didn't say anything, just looked at Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang.
Chen Xiaopang said: "If you ask me for your opinion, I think that the mechanism that Hongxing found can only remove the latch behind these two wooden doors, as for the mechanism on the top of the head, it should be activated when the door is opened!"
"What does little fat brother mean that even if we open the mechanism that Hongxing found, we can't push the door in?"
"I do think so!" Chen Xiaopang nodded.
Bai Yang nodded and said: "I have the same opinion as Brother Chubby, but for the sake of prudence, I think we should take a step back a little bit, and wait for me to throw something directly at this dark stone brick to see if we can activate the mechanism." ”
Poplar has a skill of throwing stones that is almost 100 shots, and several people know it very well, so they all retreat three meters away according to their words.
Ding Lingling reminded Poplar not to use anything too hard, so as not to smash the stone bricks and completely destroy the mechanism.
So Poplar finally found a salt cloth bag and came out, because he was afraid that the cloth bag would break and waste the loose salt inside, he added two empty salt cloth bags to the outside of the salt cloth bag, and tied them firmly with ropes.
Then Poplar took a breath, stared at the dark stone brick, and suddenly threw it with his arms.
I only heard the sound of "pop", and the salt cloth bag hit the dark stone brick accurately.
Several people held their breath and kept quiet, so they could faintly hear a soft "click" behind the wooden door, and the dark stone brick was also obviously sunken inward.
"It seems that you guys are really right, the mechanism has been activated, and the wooden door can be pushed open. But you said there was another mechanism that would activate when the wooden door was pushed, so what should we do now?" Iron Bull asked.
Bai Yang's mind turned and he was about to speak, Ding Lingling said: "Why don't we take out the important things in the backpack, try to throw the backpack over, and see if we can break through these two wooden doors!"
"I think the backpack is a bit too light!" said Poplar, "and everything in the backpack is useful, and it would be a bit of a pity if a boulder or something fell on it and pressed the backpack!"
"Then let's go and get the lizardbulisk's corpse down, and we'll be able to break open the two wooden doors with the lizardbuke's corpse!" said Iron Bull.
"The corpse of the lizard monster is too big and sticky and greasy and disgusting, why don't you go and move the corpse of the Qin Sect Sect down! Anyway, they all want to kill us, so we don't need to be too polite to their corpses!"
"Then I'll move it, you wait a minute!" said Iron Bull, and walked back.
Bai Yang's mind turned, and he hurriedly said: "I see that Lao Hei still stays here to accompany Little Fat Brother and Hongxing, and I will go with Lingling!"
"I also don't think I can let Tie Niu go alone!" Ding Lingling immediately said, "This tomb is really weird, no one knows if there are any weird things on it that haven't been discovered by us!"
"Then let's go up together!" said Iron Bull.
"I'm afraid that the little fat brother has just run out of energy, so I want him to stay here and rest for a while!" Bai Yang said.
"Let's go together, I'm fine!" Chen Xiaopang said immediately.
Several people felt that it would be more reassuring to walk together, so they didn't say more, but turned around and walked back together.
Fortunately, nothing strange came out on the way back, and a few people went up the passage that was smashed by the boulder, and arrived at the house where they fought with the lizard monster on the top, and Tie Niu directly reached out and grabbed the body of a slightly obese Qin Sect Seeker, and several people returned to the two black lacquered wooden doors the same way.
Still standing more than three meters away, Tie Niu placed the body of the person from the Qin Sect on the ground, and then kicked it out with all his strength.
The corpse was immediately kicked into the air, and slammed into the two wooden doors with a thud.
Before a few people could see whether the two wooden doors had been knocked open, they saw a black shadow flickering in front of them, followed by a loud "boom", which shook the ground under their feet and trembled slightly.
Several people involuntarily took a step back, and only when the dust in front of them gradually settled did several people pay attention.
I was startled at first sight, and sure enough, there was a long black and gray boulder in front of me. The width of the boulder was only slightly narrower than that of the passage, more than forty centimeters thick, and nearly three meters long, and it stretched right from the two black lacquered wooden doors to the feet of several people.
Looking at the top of the channel, there is already a large rectangular depression.
"Mom, I was really right! Such a big stone suddenly fell, and if I was unprepared, even Lao Bai and I would be smashed into a meat patty!" Tie Niu said, and the old man couldn't get off the tongue bridge for a long time.
The weight of the boulder must have exceeded a thousand catties, and although the two of them could move it together, if the boulder suddenly fell from the top of their heads, it was true that even the two of them would not escape death.
Looking at the two black lacquered wooden doors in front of them, they had been knocked open by a large crack, but to get to the wooden doors, they had to walk from the big stone bars.
The Iron Bull jumped up first, but was grabbed by Poplar.
"You walk behind, watch out for the mechanism in the door!"
The Iron Bull had no choice but to stand on the stone bar and wait.
When Poplar jumped on the stone bar and walked to the front, the Iron Bull restarted and followed Poplar again.
As soon as he pushed open the two black lacquered wooden doors, Bai Yang first saw the corpse of the person seeking the Qin Sect lying on the ground, which at least showed that there was no mechanism set up on the ground from the back of the wooden door to the corpse of the Qin Sect.
Chen Xiaopang anxiously squeezed in front of the poplar and jumped off the long stone, and after a brief look into the tomb, he couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Rich, this is the most complete and richest burial goods found so far, the tombs of the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty!"
