Chapter 1211: Tomb within a Tomb

Since there are tombs full of rare treasures, there will be tomb robbers; Since there are tomb robbers, there are anti-tomb robbers and techniques that have emerged and implemented to prevent tomb robbers from entering the tomb as much as possible.

Tomb robbery and anti-tomb robbery are like fighting between the enemy and us on the battlefield, so you come and go, and the fighting and fighting for more than 2,000 years continues. According to historical records and modern archaeological discoveries, the ancients generally used techniques such as blocking the tomb road with boulders, building walls and sand, and occasionally laying knives, guns and arrows.

Liu Yuhao had also seen in ancient books that the tomb would spew flames to kill and injure tomb robbers, and in modern archaeological excavations, it has indeed happened that the gas emitted from the tomb can be ignited.

For example, Mawangdui No. 1 Tomb once spewed out colorless gas during excavation, and the color of the burning flame was similar to that of an alcohol lamp, an open flame and smokeless. After analysis, it was believed that this was biogas formed by the decomposition of organic matter in the tomb, and not an anti-theft measure in the tomb.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not yet been excavated, but archaeologists have been testing it for a long time with various instruments, and the results show that the mercury content in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang far exceeds the mercury content in the nearby soil, which is consistent with the ancient record that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang used mercury to simulate rivers, lakes and seas.

It is important to know that mercury vapor is highly toxic and can cause brain damage and death if inhaled, so archaeologists believe that a large amount of mercury has the effect of preventing theft, and it is because of this discovery that the excavation of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang was stopped.

However, after all, those are all the information recorded in the book, even if it is the old man Qi, he has never really encountered those anti-tomb robbery agencies, and he can really experience this dangerous scene in person, Liu Yuhao's encounter is probably very rare.

But in any case, traps are indeed a very effective means of preventing theft.

Just like the flap bluestone that Liu Yuhao sees now, in order to pursue greater lethality, sharp metal thorns are inserted at the bottom of the trap, and there is a shaft in the center of the stone slab, when the tomb robber steps on the edge of this stone slab, it will rotate and throw the tomb robber into the trap.

Although the complex trap structure may lose its original effect due to decay and rust like the metal thorns under the bluestone slab for hundreds or thousands of years, the lethality is still very powerful, and once hit, I am afraid that I will lose my life.

After experiencing a small accident, Liu Yuhao's face was not even smooth, but it aroused greater curiosity.

Traps or traps, in short, these things really shouldn't be in such an inconspicuous and useless side tomb.

So, what is the real point of its existence?

Unless there must be some ulterior secret in it!

After figuring out this truth, Liu Yuhao's heart seemed to be touched fiercely, and then, he carefully inspected every place in the tomb, and refused to let go of even the slightest clue.

As for the hidden weapon or something, Liu Yuhao is not worried at all.

After careful analysis, we know that the description of the so-called hidden weapon in the book is not reliable, and most of the strings of ancient bows and crossbows are made of animal tendons or plant-based raw materials, although they have been treated with a certain antiseptic process, but they will still gradually decay.

Moreover, the ancient smelting technology was not yet developed, and the bow and arrow body was often made of wood, and if the builder had to place a bow made of spring steel in the tomb, it would be difficult for some strong people. With a history of more than hundreds of years, no matter how sharp and powerful the crossbow is, it will become a pile of broken wood with the corrosion of time.

"What's going on, Brother Liu, if it doesn't work, come out first."

Shi Bao's voice finally came from the intercom again, although Shi Bao had tried his best to cover it up, but everyone could hear it, and after more than an hour of waiting, Shi Bao gradually began to be disappointed.

Glancing back at the cold and gloomy tomb walls around him, Liu Yuhao suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, sighed heavily, and replied, "Brother Shi, it seems that you are really going to be disappointed this time." ”

If Liu Yuhao was just an ordinary archaeologist, he might not have made the same judgment in such a short period of time, but this time he really tried his best, and he had already used his abilities to see through all the tomb walls, but in the end he found nothing.

In fact, Liu Yuhao's words have actually indirectly announced the end of this "expedition" activity.

On the other end of the intercom, there was a deathly silence.

Liu Yuhao smiled, and while sorting out the items he brought into the tomb, he jokingly recounted the scene he was almost "in distress" on the walkie-talkie.

Each line has its own rules, and the things that the tomb robbers bring into the tomb must also be brought back without dropping, otherwise the lonely ghosts will follow the smell of the left objects to find the person concerned.

Although Liu Yuhao is not a real tomb robber, but the world is a matter of whether it can be trusted or not, everything is guaranteed by others, according to the rules, it is always no harm to bring back everything brought in.

Just as Liu Yuhao finished packing up his things and was about to go back down the robbery hole that he had come in, Shi Bao rudely interrupted Liu Yuhao and asked, "Brother Liu, have you ever heard of the legend of the tomb in the tomb?" ”

"A tomb within a tomb?"

Liu Yuhao was stunned, woke up suddenly, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

The so-called tomb within the tomb does not mean that there are tombs in the tomb, and the tomb in the tomb is not a legend in Shi Bao's mouth, a real thing did happen more than 70 years ago.

Back then, a farmer was digging sweet potatoes in his field, but he didn't expect a hoe to go down and knock on a bronze vessel, which shook the farmer's brother's tiger mouth at that time. The peasant brother was naturally very annoyed, and after digging the bronze out of the ground, he smashed it to pieces.

This scene happened to be seen by an archaeological expert who happened to pass by.

After the expert surnamed Dong identified it on the spot, the bronze vessel smashed by the peasant brother should have been from the royal sacrificial vessels in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The expert surnamed Dong kept an eye on it, and did not tell the farmer brother his opinion, but found professionals to excavate and demonstrate the sweet potato field as quickly as possible, and sure enough, there was an ancient tomb of the Sui and Tang dynasties hidden under the sweet potato field.

The archaeologists were satisfied with the excavation of the exquisite burial vessels, but the peasant brothers were bitter, without it, a good sweet potato field has been dug to a pulp, although the other party has lost some money, but this land can not be planted in the next year.

In desperation, the farmer brothers had no choice but to backfill their land along the trails excavated by archaeologists. The farmer brother never imagined that his life would change completely from the day he began to backfill his own fields.

In the process of backfilling, the farmer brother accidentally found a bare stone gate that was ignored by the expert surnamed Dong, and with curiosity, the farmer brother opened the stone door to find out.

Unexpectedly, when the stone door was opened, the peasant brother was stunned by the layer of green and warm jade that appeared in front of his eyes, and it was not until many years later that the peasant brother realized that the green and green he saw was actually a huge and complete jade coffin.

By the time the expert surnamed Dong heard the news, the peasant brothers had already moved away from their families and the antiques he thought were valuable in the ancient tomb, leaving only the jade coffin unopened.

The peasant brothers ran away, but in the jade coffin, the expert surnamed Dong accidentally found the golden jade clothes worn on the tomb owner, which was enough to stop people's hearts and still stored in the museum that came out of the land that year, and it is also one of the only twenty golden jade clothes left in China.

"Brother, are you listening to me?"

I didn't hear Liu Yuhao answer for a long time, so Shi Bao asked on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Give Me Ten Minutes"

Liu Yuhao didn't care about explaining more, so he only said in a hurry, and then turned off the walkie-talkie. This time, Liu Yuhao released his ability to the limit, and the tomb suddenly turned into a three-dimensional picture in front of his eyes.

"Sure enough, there are still places that I haven't found."

After a while, Liu Yuhao subconsciously squeezed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that what he saw was real, "Good guy, is there really a tomb in a tomb down here?" ”

With the help of the ability, Liu Yuhao could clearly see that there was a tightly fitting stone door not far from his feet, about three meters above the ground, and the most conspicuous thing on the stone door was the pair of liger beasts with rings staring, with a white jade ring in the beast's mouth, one left and one right, just enough to firmly bite the two stone doors together.

It's incredible!

originally thought that the strange story of the tomb in the tomb could only be seen in the literature, but Liu Yuhao didn't think that he could encounter it once, this kind of thing, I'm afraid it can't be explained by just luck.

But the good times didn't last long, and when he looked into it further, Liu Yuhao's face began to slowly become solemn, and in the end, although he was not stunned, he was really shocked.

There is also a narrow corridor under the bluestone gate, since it is a tomb, this is also the meaning of the question, but what makes Liu Yuhao extremely shocked is that the corridor is actually full of dried corpses, although it has been a long time, those dry corpses have not corroded, their appearance is distorted in every way, and the pain is extreme, it is clear that it is trapped in it to cause the current appearance.

It can't be a living burial, right?

Looking at the weird faces in the corridor, Rao is Liu Yuhao was more courageous than average, and he also felt a little chill in his spine, and a trace of cool air came out of the heart of his feet and "hissed" upwards.

Although there was a practice of burial of living people in ancient times, it was not possible for everyone to use it casually, and the living martyrdom not only had certain requirements for the identity of the tomb owner, but also stipulated what kind of regulations and how many people were used, and there were strict distinctions.

In order not to make a mistake, Liu Yuhao gathered his mind and carefully observed the dead who fell to the ground one by one.
