"Oh? Tell me what you have to say! ”

Cao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

The rest of the people also looked at Wu Liang expectantly, waiting for him to show the "wonderful method".

Facing everyone's eyes, Wu Liang did not immediately answer Cao Yu's question, but just smiled indifferently and beckoned to a guard soldier holding Changge in the back: "This big brother, borrow Changge." ”

"This ......"

The soldier looked suspicious, weapons are not things that can be borrowed casually, so he immediately looked at Cao Yu inquiringly, and saw that Cao Yu also nodded in permission, so he finally handed Changge over.

"Thank you."

Wu Liang nodded, took Chang Ge and gestured at the gap between the two stone gates, and then inserted it along the gap.

Such a long Ge probed into a length of about one meter, and suddenly heard a crisp sound of "bang", as if he had hit some hard object.

"Sure enough, it's a tap stone!"

Wu Liang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

The top door of "tap stone" was a more conventional means of anti-theft in ancient times.

The principle of this thing is actually very simple: that is, dig a groove on the inside of the door and on the door, when the two doors are closed, the stone pillar standing in the groove on the ground leans behind the door, after the person walks out, the stone pillar slowly tilts with the closing of the stone door, and when the stone door is completely closed, the stone pillar slowly slides into the groove carved in the middle of the two doors, so the stone door can be completely killed.

If you want to open the stone door, you need to use the secret of the ancient craftsmen who built the tomb - the nail key.

It sounds mysterious, but it's actually just a metal strip with the top bent into half of the word "mouth", which looks like a bottomless spoon with half of it missing.

When using, half of the "mouth" of the nail key is erected, slowly inserted along the crack of the door, and after touching the tap stone, the word "mouth" is crossed to cover the upper end of the tap stone, so that under the effect of the principle of leverage, only one person can push the tap stone up, without the top door of the tap stone, the stone door that is equipped with a door shaft will naturally be pushed open.

It's just that in ancient times, in order to keep the secret of the royal tomb, there has always been a tradition of destroying the craftsmen who built the tomb after completion, and ordinary people have no way of knowing the mechanism behind the door, and very few people know the key to the crutch that can break the stone.

Therefore, it was not until 1955 when the Ming Dynasty Dingling was excavated that an archaeologist realized it from an extremely obscure historical material.

And now in the wilderness, it is obviously unrealistic to ask Wu Liang to make a decent nail key, but the "T" shaped Changge at the front end has some similarities with the nail key, and it can be regarded as a good substitute.

"How?"

Hearing the crisp sound and seeing Wu Liang's radiant spirit, Cao Yu hurriedly came over to ask.

"Soldiers, please don't be impatient."

Wu Liang smiled, and slowly turned Chang Ge sideways to hold the tap stone, and then gradually moved upward, so that it was not until the upper end of the tap stone that he gradually used some strength.

"Click!"

Inside, there was the sound of rocks grinding.

There's movement!

Cao Yu and the others instantly held their breath and quietly watched Wu Liang manipulate.

I saw that the Changge in his hand gradually extended inward, as if pushing something to move, until the wooden handle at the back of Changge was almost completely submerged in the crack.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was another knock in the door.

Cao Yu and the others were startled and hurriedly took two steps back.

At this time, Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Cao Yu with a smile: "Junhou, you can order someone to open the door now." ”

"Push?"

Cao Yu was stunned.

Now he hasn't figured out what Wu Liang has done, so he doesn't quite understand what Wu Liang's so-called "open the door" method is.

"Push."

Wu Liang nodded.

Hearing this, Cao Yu still looked puzzled.

This stone gate weighs 10,000 catties, and it didn't move at all just now, but now it can be pushed open?

However, seeing Wu Liang's affirmation, Cao Yu still summoned the rest of the soldiers as he said, and divided them into two groups to push the two stone gates.

"Open!"

At the sound of an order, the two groups of people worked together.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With the roar of the thick gate shaft, the 10,000-jin stone gate suddenly opened.

Bursts of mist rose from inside the door, echoing through the mist and echoing through the deep and dark tombway, which was so touching and breathing.

This was followed by a heat wave with a strong musty smell, as if an ancient beast had suddenly opened its jaws of the abyss and was about to devour everything, forcing everyone to take a few steps back before finally stabilizing their figures.

But this heat wave comes and goes as fast as it goes.

With just one breath, everything was calm again.

It was only at this time that Cao Yu and the others finally reacted, and their faces were immediately filled with ecstatic smiles, and they hugged each other like children and cheered: "It's on!" The door is open! ”

It's joy from the heart.

It has been more than a month since the Qiangren army came to Dangshan, because of their lack of experience, the grave digging work has not been very smooth, and they have done a lot of thankless work, otherwise it would not have been possible to dig the tomb door until last night.

Therefore, the backlog of exhaustion and depression is not only Cao Yu, but also the soldiers under him are more or less some.

Tonight finally went so smoothly once, and naturally it became an outlet for negative emotions.

Wu Liang also went not to disturb them, but turned around and took out the pheasant in the bamboo cage by himself, and then tied the rope that Cao Yu had prepared in advance to the pheasant's feet.

"Wu Liang, what should we do next?"

The first to calm down was Cao Yu, who saw that Wu Liang was fiddling with pheasants, so he leaned over and asked expectantly.

"Don't be impatient, let's go to the tomb in two hours."

Wu Liang said indifferently.

"Two hours? Now that the door is open, why not just do it? ”

Cao Yu seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water, and said very puzzled.

The rest of the soldiers also had an expression of "Lao Tzu's pants are off, you can show me this".

"The military waits for nothing, the mausoleum has lived underground for a long time, and the yin qi is constantly accumulating, and over time there will be evil spirits, and it may be unforeseen if you rush into the tomb."

Wu Liang picked up the tied wild pheasant, and then said nonsense, "Although the evil spirit cannot be seen by human eyes, the eyes of pheasants can be checked, so we need to put this wild pheasant into the tomb first, and let it investigate before making a decision, so as not to take the lives of the soldiers and soldiers for no reason." ”

To put it bluntly, he actually wanted to let the pheasant go in to find out whether there was poisonous gas in the tomb and the oxygen content in the air, and by the way, he used this time to ventilate the tomb.

It's just that there was no popular science about air theory to Cao Yu before, and now there is naturally no need to popularize the real use of pheasants.

However, the theory of evil spirit is not completely false.

When I was in school, some professional tutors with rich archaeological experience told some unknown anecdotes.

Although the archaeological reports that have been made public never mention any non-scientific events.

However, this does not mean that those paranormal events do not exist, and even some paranormal events cannot be explained by the scientific knowledge of the 21st century, and can only be solved with the help of some ancient methods that are recorded in folklore and historical documents with only a few words.

Therefore, archaeology and tomb robbing are not only about mastering the scientific method, but sometimes you still have to believe in evil ......

"I see, as you say, but what do we do now?"

After listening to Wu Liang's words, Cao Yu really no longer thought about "making a move".

"Just leave a few people to guard the tomb gate, don't teach the wild pheasant to escape, and the rest can go out to rest first."

Wu Liang nodded.
