Chapter 66: Laughter in the Wine Jar (Text)
The use of murals to grab attention, and the light and other reasons make it easy to overlook the slowly descending passages on either side.
The designer of the tomb was stuck with such a visual error, so that Zhang Meng and others unknowingly stepped into this well-designed trap.
"Fortunately, there are no mechanisms on it, otherwise we would probably be missing arms and legs now!"
Zhang Meng said with some trepidation.
After a few dozen seconds, they finally returned to the same passage as before.
"Run, quick!"
Chen Cripple's eyes froze, and he suddenly found that the slate actually had an upward trend, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
I'm afraid that the water droplets formed by the water vapor have now been almost evaporated, and the weight of the soil and stone on the fulcrum has become the same as before, so the stone slab has slowly risen.
This time, if they go back to the previous level of death, they will really be trapped alive.
Zhang Meng and the others almost ran out of this porcelain-inlaid floor.
At this moment, the stone slabs had all risen up, leaving a ravine 100 meters long.
"What do you think that's that?"
Zhang Meng pointed to the bottom of the stone slab with a pale face, and they could clearly see a row of thick springs, and there were some dagger nests and jars placed underneath.
These things were tightly connected to the spring, and if they had shoveled the floor with a folding shovel just now, I'm afraid that these hidden weapons and the contents of those nests and cans would have greeted them immediately!
"This King of Guangchuan is vicious enough, this tomb is designed like this, it can only enter and not exit, I'm afraid that all the people who dug the tomb back then will be killed in the pit......" Chen lame shook his head and said.
They must have stepped on a switch when they came in, and the slab would come down, and then slowly transport them to the dead end. If it weren't for the fact that they had analyzed the principle by mistake, I'm afraid they would still be going around in circles on the next level.
At this moment, a stone gate appeared in front of the crowd, and this door was blocked by two huge stones.
"This stone needs at least dozens of pounds of gunpowder to explode!"
Zhang Meng took out a folding shovel and knocked on the stone, but found that the stone was completely solid, weighing at least four or five hundred catties. Not to mention whether it can be moved, it is estimated that it is unrealistic to want to blow it up.
"Ah Meng, look, there are gears hidden under these two stones, and it is estimated that there is a way to open them."
Squatting next to the stone, he said suddenly.
When Chen lame heard this, he hurriedly leaned over, and when he saw that it was true, there were actually two loops of gears stuck under this stone, and although the wheels on it were a little rusty, they should still be usable.
Chen Cripple took the folding shovel in Zhang Meng's hand and knocked it on the stone a few times, and even sparks erupted. He took a few more light sticks and threw them inside, and after confirming that there was no danger, he nodded to Zhang Meng and the others, and motioned for them to come over together to help remove the stone.
"One...... Two...... Three...... Exert oneself! ”
Zhang Meng's face was flushed, but he couldn't move the boulder at all, and he didn't know how long it had been since the gear could be used.
Zhang Meng and Zhao San, even if Chen Cripple tried his best, he didn't let this boulder move at all.
The sick man suddenly picked up the folding shovel, stuck it in the middle of the two stones, and poked it into it so hard that several people were suffocated.
Squeak!
When Zhang Meng just wanted to give up, he finally heard a heavenly sound, and the gears finally moved.
With the first stroke, there is a second stroke, Zhang Meng and they spent about half an hour, and finally removed the boulder through a hole that almost one person could pass through.
Several people suddenly collapsed to the ground, panting loudly. Zhang Meng rested for a while, and finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and looked into the stone cave with the dim light of those few lamp sticks, he glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasp a few breaths of cold air.
The burial chamber inside is really huge, almost seven or eight meters high.
Inside, he actually found four or five hanging figures, Zhang Meng shuddered for a moment, and quickly retracted his head.
"Uncle Cripple, come over and see what this thing is?"
Chen Cripple leaned over and stared inside, and when he saw those figures, his face turned a little blue, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"These figures seem to be the same as the plate soldiers we saw in the cave before. You can see that this thing has chains behind it, as if it is supporting their position. ”
Chen Cripple said with some uncertainty.
In fact, he also felt that his idea should not be very reliable, and the way to support the corpse was gone, so why waste so much energy to create an iron chain to lock this person?
Knock knock!
Zhang Meng and Chen Cripple were lying at the door staring deadly inside, and suddenly there was a sound from inside that seemed to be something falling to the ground, which shocked Zhang Meng and the two of them.
The sound was extremely loud in the silence of the tomb, even slightly harsh.
", there's anyone here?"
Zhang Meng's breathing was a little short.
"There's a piece of shit, maybe it's a pebble or something that fell to the ground, don't scare yourself." When Chen Cripple saw Zhang Meng's unpromising appearance, he was angry and came out, is this cute boy scared? Now I am suspicious of what I see and hear.
Chen Cripple thought for a moment, he took out an iron rod and threw it down the door with a whoosh.
"Dangdang!"
There was a crisp sound where the iron rod collided with the ground, and the sound rippled in the tomb, forming several noisy echoes back and forth, but there seemed to be no movement inside.
Chen lame waited for a while, and finally felt that there should be no problem, so he shook his hand and signaled to be careful. He was the first to hunch into the burial chamber, shooting his flashlight everywhere.
When Zhang Meng squeezed in, he found that the layout of this tomb was even grander than he imagined, could it be that this was the tomb of King Guangchuan?
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but be a little hot, but at this time he was attracted by some huge wine jars.
In the corner, there is a circle of wine jars densely placed, these wine jars are almost half the height of Zhang Meng's body, and the diameter is not small, and there is a seal similar to a charm on it, and I don't know what it contains.
"Cripple uncle, isn't this King of Guangchuan a drunkard? There are so many wine jars, and when he dies, he can drink for hundreds of years. Zhang Meng asked suspiciously.
"It's really possible, which of these ancient kings and nobles didn't have the habit of drinking and lusting?" Chen Cripple also nodded approvingly.
Zhang Meng stared at the wine jar, he pricked up his ears to listen to whether there was any sound in the wine jar, but he didn't hear any sound for a long time, and it is estimated that the previous sound should not have come from this wine jar.
Zhang Meng is really afraid that there will be some monsters crawling out of this wine jar for no reason, after all, there are too many strange things I saw along the way.
Knock knock knock......
"Who!"
Chen Cripple roared, and the same voice appeared twice in a row, which was definitely not a coincidence, he tightened the knife in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
"Uncle Cripple, this voice seems to come from a wine vat!"
Zhang Meng's face turned a little pale, he was very close to the wine vat just now, and the sound was heard clearly, clearly from the wine vat.
