Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Strange Mounds Chapter 48 The Pillar in Front of the Tomb
With a disdainful expression, I looked to the left of the tomb door, where there was a collapsed stone chamber. It should also be part of the burial chamber, but I don't know why it collapsed.
"Professor, are we going to dig up this collapsed place?" Wang Yuesheng asked Ma Xiwen.
Ma Xiwen was hesitating, but Pu Yifan walked up and made a decision directly: "Dig it up and take a look, since we are here, we can't miss any place!" ”
So, Park Il-nam and others dug up the collapsed location again. It turned out to be a stone chamber outside the tomb, similar to the gatehouse of the house. However, the layout inside is very simple, there is only a stone platform about 1.5 meters high and 50 centimeters in diameter, but it has fallen to the ground due to the collapse. In addition, there were several corpses in the stone chamber, one of which had been completely ossified, and the remaining two were dried corpses, with hideous and ugly faces. For unknown reasons, the three bones were all fragmented, and none of them were intact, especially the white bones, which were blown to pieces.
Seeing that there was nothing left to keep an eye on, we prepared to leave the stone chamber. But just as he was leaving, Situ Feng accidentally saw a piece of cloth pressed under a stone. He walked over and pulled it out with all his might, and found it to be a shabby cloth bag. The pocket is embroidered with the word "Nanyang".
"This is Yang Nantian's thing!" Situ Feng stopped us and handed us the pocket.
"Southern thief Yang Nantian?" The crowd asked, "How do you know?" ”
"During the Republic of China, the southern Yang and Northern Liu in the tomb robbery world were not small. In addition, it is rumored that this is Yang Nantian's last deal, and after that, he disappeared from the rivers and lakes, so many people speculated at that time whether he was folded here......" Situ Feng looked down at the white bones on the ground and said, "It seems that this is really the case!" ”
When they opened their pockets, they found that they were full of rotten tools, and there was nothing else.
"And how did he die?" Han Mingming asked Situ Feng curiously, "Did the stone chamber collapse and stoned to death?" ”
Wang Yuesheng directly interjected and denied: "Impossible, how could the person who was stoned to death be torn apart, and the corpses were scattered in the east and west?" ”
Situ Feng didn't answer, but after looking at the other two dried corpses on the ground, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Who can know this?" What comes out of other people's mouths is just speculation, maybe only Yang Nantian himself knows the truth of the matter. With that, he turned around and left the stone room, and we all walked out with us, while Yang Nantian's bones remained in the stone room......
Actually, we didn't know that what was originally placed in this stone room was the skull ring in Park Yifan's hand. It was Yang Nantian who stole it, and then pulled the grenade, causing the stone chamber to collapse. As for the origin of the other two dried corpses and what happened to Yang Nantian at that time, I am afraid that only Yang Nantian himself can be said when he is resurrected......
"What do you think this pillar is for?" Walking outside the stone room, Xu Yunshu pointed to the pillar at the door and asked.
Actually, we already saw this pillar when we came in. There was a large open space in front of the tomb gate, and the pillar stood impartially in the middle, blocking the tomb door from the front.
Everyone was curious about that pillar.
This pillar is facing the tomb door, and it stands to reason that it should be unobstructed in front of the tomb door. Of course, some tombs will also place some stone tablets in front of the tomb to praise merit or record the life of the tomb owner, but what does it mean to put a pillar here? A pillar of optimus? Mainstay? Or is this witch sect leader Sun Wukong, and he is anchored in this tomb by the Seagod Needle? I don't understand!
When we got closer, we realized what the pillar was for. It turned out that this was not a cylinder, but an octahedral column. It is about three meters in diameter and has eight facets, each with a rectangular area, which is divided into seven hundred and forty-nine small grids, each of which has a movable square stone, convex or concave, and the shape of the eight faces is exactly the same.
"Isn't it the same light as the skull eyes on the ring! The protruding places on the stone pillars are bright on the ring, and the recessed ones are dark, and it seems that the stone lattice on this stone pillar also changes from day to day. Park Yifan said excitedly, "This ring is really the key to open this tomb!" So saying, he wanted to point the light on the ring at one side of the pillar.
I didn't want to, but I was stopped by Ma Xiwen and Situ Feng at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing the two of them stop him from opening the door, Park Yifan was a little unhappy.
"Although this ring is the key, where is the keyhole, have you found it?" Situ Feng asked coldly.
"Keyhole? What keyhole? Park Yifan was confused when asked.
Ma Xiwen explained: "Mr. Park, a discerning person can see it at a glance. Why are there eight sides here? If you just want someone to open it, wouldn't it be nice to prepare a face, why bother to get another eight-sided pillar out? Obviously, seven here are fake. ”
"Fake? So what? Park Il-nan was fearless, "Wouldn't it be enough to change another one?" ”
"How? Hmph...... "Situ Feng turned his head and stopped talking.
Park Yinan knew that he must be wrong, so he could only ask Ma Xiwen, who was easy to get along with.
"Those seven sides are not only fake, but they are also a trap. No one knows what it will be like if they choose the wrong one. Ma Xiwen said to Park Yinan, "It's better to say that it can't be opened within a certain period of time after entering a mistake, just like the bank card password, if something touches the mechanism, we people may really be buried here, or the entire tomb will be destroyed...... Of course, this last possibility should be the smallest, after all, it was only wrong once, so as not to destroy the grave......"
"What then?" Park Yifan asked.
"So we only have one chance, if it's wrong......" Ma Xiwen smiled, "What awaits us in the back, no one knows......" After he finished speaking, he walked to the tomb door, studied there for a long time, and then commanded everyone to push the tomb door, but he didn't expect it to move, so he came to a conclusion: "There is no top door device like tap stone in this tomb door, but it can't be opened from the outside, so it can be seen that there are still some secret organs inside, which can lock this tomb door." ”
Pu Yifan hurriedly walked up to Situ Feng and said, "Mr. Situ, I still have to trouble you about this organ......
Situ Feng didn't speak, just nodded, walked to the octagonal prism and began to study.
