Chapter 401: The Tomb of the King 2 (II)

This is a disc with a diameter of about 2 meters, the carving that stands on the disc is an image of a warrior, but I don't know whether it was artificially destroyed or naturally damaged, he only left the lower half, judging from the fragments, this is a samurai figure who strides forward with a spear in his hand, ready to fight at any time, his spear is pointed directly at the gate of the royal tomb, the head that fell to the ground is wide with angry eyes, it seems to be a warrior guarding the gate of the royal tomb, and there is a fallen stone tablet next to the stone statue, on which is written a line of Lu Wen.

"Intruders must die......" Mr. Min probably knew these Lu Wen, but he couldn't recognize the second half.

"The trespasser will die before Betelgeuse rises." Xia Ruobing added.

Mr. Min felt the name familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Some of the patterns on the disc caught Xia Ruobing's attention, the disc was engraved with Lu Wen, the disc was neatly divided into 12 sections with engraved lines, each interval was engraved with an animal pattern, Xia Ruobing saw horses, camels, sheep, eagles, yellow sheep, wolves, lizards, scorpions and some other desert animals, and smaller scales were drawn in the intervals.

"What is this?" Mr. Min also became interested in this disc.

"Loulan's sundial." Xia Ruobing replied.

"Sundial?!" Mr. Min thought this sundial was very special.

"The samurai's spear is the pointer, and the sun's projection is right here, about 10 o'clock in the morning, just when the camels start their day's work." Xia Ruobing replied.

"Could this be the Loulan version of the zodiac?" Dick also leaned over, "How do you know?" ”

"Because it's written." Xia Ruobing glanced at Dick and pointed to Lu Wen on the disc.

Dick looked left and right, he didn't know any of them, turned his head and asked Mr. Min, "Is that so?" ”

Mr. Min didn't have much research on Lu Wen, but listening to Xia Ruobing's explanation, he shouldn't be wrong, and nodded.

The bearded man and Chen Badai were looking for the entrance, and the entrance was in front of them, but they couldn't open it at all, the beard was attached to the stone door, trying to lift the stone door with his hands, but the gap in the stone door was too small for even a finger to reach into.

Seeing Dick and Xia Ruobing studying a stone, the bearded man was a little anxious: "BOSS! Can I use explosives to blow this damn stone door open? ”

Xia Ruobing saw the sweaty beard, and simply refused: "No!" ”

"But how could this damn door be opened?!" The bearded man shouted, if he couldn't get into the stone room, the most valuable thing here would be the broken sundial.

Xia Ruobing walked over and opened the historian's record, on the side of the stone gate, according to the map, there was a small raised stone next to the stone gate, and an unclear Lu Wen was engraved on the stone, Xia Ruobing pressed it hard.

The bearded man heard a small sound on the stone gate, as if an hourglass was slowly leaking sand, but the stone gate still did not move.

Xia Ruobing finished pressing the switch and returned to the sundial to carefully observe the record, his bearded eyes widened: "That's it?!" ”

"Be patient, that's all." Xia Ruobing replied angrily.

"That's it?! Are you sure that's it?! The bearded man knocked on the stone door with some annoyance.

"Anyway, the record says wait half an hour." Xia Ruobing didn't want to deal with him.

Chen Badai was not in a hurry, he saw that there were some patterns and Lu Wen carved on the stone gate and the wall next to him, although he couldn't understand it, but at least it was good to pass the time while waiting.

The bearded man sat on the sand by the wall in a daze, and after about half an hour, he heard the stone gate rattle, as if a huge force was pulling it, and a puff of smoke and dust rose from under the stone gate, and the bearded man was stunned to see the stone gate slowly rising.

"It's a amazing being! Xia Ruobing, I love you to death! Dick saw the stone door open, and behind the slowly opened stone door was a long corridor, which meant that Loulan's countless treasures were waiting for him.

"How is this done?" The bearded man stood by the stone gate and looked incredulously.

"The principle of the lever, the stone door is a counterweight, and there is an hourglass on it, and the hourglass will lift the stone door when the mechanism is opened." Xia Ruobing felt that he should go back to tutor in junior high school physics.

There is high-quality sand everywhere here, the clever Loulan people use the principle of sand and levers to make a lot of mechanisms, the stone gate is connected to a sand trough, just like a huge balance, the stone gate is the weight on one side of the scale, when the balance of the sand trough is broken, the sand in the sand trough flows towards the other side of the stone gate, and the weight reaches a certain level, the stone door will be lifted.

"That's why you won't let me use explosives?" Dick listened to Xia Ruobing's explanation and seemed to understand something.

The bearded man also thought that this design was amazing, according to his imagination, people 2000 years ago had an IQ similar to that of primitive people, how could it be possible to calculate such an exquisite balance? Entering the tomb, the bearded man looked curiously at the patterns and protrusions on the side of the stone door, and reached out and pressed it.

"Don't touch it!" It was still too late when Xia Ruobing saw it, and the bearded man heard another sound of fine shattering on the stone door, but this time the fine sand flowed to the other side, and the stone gate was pressed down again, much faster than when it was opened.

Everyone was so frightened that they fled back to the front room.

"Huh?" The bearded man was annoyed by his many hands.

"Open the door in half an hour, close the door in five minutes, and there are switches inside and outside." Xia Ruobing stood in the corridor, looking at this group of timid men, motionless, "Do you want to wait for half an hour before coming in?" ”

"What are you kidding?! is even more timid than you? Dick felt that his pride had been insulted, and he re-entered the corridor, and after a while, the stone door slammed back to the ground, and only the light of everyone's headlamps was left in the corridor.

"Don't touch anything." Xia Ruobing warned.

"I've come all the way here for the treasure, how can I take it if I don't touch it?" Listening to a woman's orders annoyed the bearded man.

"I'm afraid that with your intelligence, you'll kill yourself." Xia Ruobing replied.

In the morning, Wang Xingguo heard the sound of them opening the blowhole, and he saw Xia Ruobing, Dick and others descend into the royal tomb, but those expedition members were still at the side of the blowhole, Wang Xingguo could only wait patiently.

At noon, the sun was so hot that people couldn't stand it, Dick and they had been in for almost 2 hours, they felt that there was no need to wait stupidly here in the blowhole, most of them returned to the camp at the bottom of the mountain to avoid the sun, leaving two people by the blowholes just in case, but these two people couldn't stand the sun's rays, found a shady place nearby, and fell asleep in a daze after a while, Wang Xingguo saw the opportunity, quietly approached the blowhole, and put on a descending protector on the rope.

One of the team members seemed to hear a sound by the air hole in a daze, he raised his head and opened his eyes, only to see the rope swaying slightly, and felt that it was no big deal, and continued to put his hat on his head and hide in the shade to rest.

Wang Xingguo landed, untied the protector, and looked at the surrounding situation through the sunlight in the air hole, the sundial was cleaned out, the footprints on the nearby sand were messy, and the footprints that extended towards the interior of the royal tomb were blocked by the stone gate, Wang Xingguo walked to the stone gate, the stone gate was not destroyed at all, and there were traces of being opened at the bottom, which must have been opened.

This is the character that Xia Ruobing made himself have to remember, Wang Xingguo pressed the stone with the character drawn hard, and the fine sand in the stone trough on the stone door began to flow again, but the stone door had not yet opened.

Wang Xingguo had to wait patiently, he believed that Xia Ruobing opened the stone gate from here.

……

Yongdao seems to have some feeling of not ending, there are some braziers on both sides of the road, those wax that has been stored for 2000 years has little left, everyone saw the traces of being blackened by smoke at the top of the road, proving that someone had lit these braziers, take a closer look, and the brazier in the heart of the red dragon has an obvious inheritance relationship in shape, but the carving here is more exquisite, the relief patterns of people and animals make people feel that they are about to come out, there are some carvings and characters on the walls on both sides of the road, so that Xia Ruobing keeps stopping, Even if Dick was in a hurry, he had no choice but to wait patiently for Xia Ruobing to make a record.
