The speculation is beautiful, it is difficult to implement, it must be the owner of the tomb in order to prevent the tomb from robbing, carefully designed this labyrinth-like tomb road, those ear chambers may have a passage to link the main tomb, but once the mechanism is triggered, the road is blocked, and such a tomb road is definitely not a few, it didn't take long to find that my speculation was sloppy, there are tombs to the left and right, we can only choose one to continue walking, and walked for half an hour, roughly surmising that there are more intersections to the left, that is to say, the main tomb should be on our left.

Liu Sanyan didn't want to go any further, so he picked up the flat pry and knocked the tomb bricks open, and we were dumbfounded after priing open the tomb bricks.

Moreover, the cracks of the stones are poured with copper juice, which is extremely difficult to scrape, and it seems that the owner of the tomb also thought about the tomb robbers digging up the tomb road.

"You can't dig out if you dig like this, you have to dig from the intersection, and since you can move there, it's definitely not so strong." Liu Sanyan gave up and walked forward with his tools.

Stopped at the intersection in front, rolled up my sleeves and did it, I took turns with Liu Sanyan, worked together for more than two hours, and finally pried open a hole, which was black and whirring, and a gust of cool wind blew, judging from the sound of smashing open and rolling down the gravel, it should be the water surface below, I was excited and wanted to turn around to see the situation outside, Miss Luo grabbed me, I inexplicably watched her put the candle into the hole, and after fumbling for a while, I didn't know where to put the candle, she pushed me out of the hole.

"This is a candle lit and a ghost blows a lamp!" Liu Sanyan explained: "The ancestors stipulated that whoever enters the tomb to touch the gold, must light a candle in the southeast corner, if the candlelight is not extinguished, the coffin can be opened, if it is extinguished, where to go back and forth, never take anything." ”

Miss Luo said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, that's the rule of the northern faction, lighting candles is mainly to confirm the air quality, if there is poisonous gas, the candle will change color, if there is no oxygen, it will be extinguished quickly." The ancient tomb has been closed for many years, and the corpse will decompose and produce corpse poison, so remember not to enter the tomb recklessly. ”

It sounds like Miss Luo's explanation is more scientific, like I ran recklessly before, and not dying in this tomb is considered merciful to the tomb owner.

"Since there is aquatic life outside, the quality of the air should be fine, and it is not a cemetery, so it is not poisonous." I asked.

Liu Sanyan pouted a few times and wanted to speak, probably dissatisfied with Miss Luo's discrimination against the northern faction, and wanted to defend a few words, but Miss Luo "booed" and signaled us to be quiet.

The silence in the graveyard suddenly made my heart nervous, and it wasn't long before I heard the sound of "sparse" walking, like an old man staggering, and my heart was about to jump out of it.

The candlelight suddenly moved, and then a figure slowly formed, a rickety figure, holding a strange hand to arrange hair under the candlelight, how to describe this hand, very thin, skin and bones should not be so thin, but the palm is surprisingly large, could it be a forbidden woman?

Thinking that it may be a forbidden woman, I am not so worried, Lao Tzu has universal blood again, and it is a big deal to have another blood, but I don't know if there are many forbidden women, in case it is a social animal like a mud monkey, I am afraid it will not be a problem to drain me.

Suddenly, the shadow drilled into the cave, Miss Luo tightened the knife in her hand, and waited for it, Liu Sanyan stood on the other side of the cave entrance, holding the short shovel in her hand to guard there, I was pulled behind her by Miss Luo, and it should be a safe position.

It didn't take long for the shadow to come in, and before I could see what the hell it was, Liu Sanyan cut it with a shovel, only to hear a terrible scream, which pierced my eardrums and was about to burst, followed by the sound of "fluttering and fluttering".

The candle was shaken into the water, and the tomb suddenly became dark, and Liu Sanyan shouted, "Be careful, the birdman has come in." ”

"Birdman?" I listened to it inexplicably, maybe it was Liu Sanyan's expletive.

"Ouch!"

I only heard Liu Sanyan's scream, and it was estimated that the fall was not light.

Miss Luo lifted the knife and killed it with a vertical leap, and shouted: "Zhang Yuan turned on the flashlight." ”

But the flashlight is not here, I remember that it was on Liu Sanyan, and I hurriedly touched Liu Sanyan.

Before he could climb two steps, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and the whole person was dragged backwards.

That man's strength was so great that I couldn't resist at all, my body dragged on my back like a rag bag, my hands and feet kicked around, but I couldn't reach it at all, fortunately, the tomb was not long, and I was dragged for a distance to the corner, I grabbed the edge with both hands, and the shadow was also stuck, and I didn't drill through it all at once.

At this time, Liu Sanyan turned on the flashlight, and by the light, I saw that Miss Luo had come to me with the knife, and she should have followed me in the dark from the beginning, which warmed my heart.

It's really like Liu Sanyan said, this is a birdman, and he is an old birdman. The hair is about to be stripped off, the bare skin is unusually pale, there is no trace of blood, the body shape is almost catching up with the adult, the tomb road with open wings can't accommodate it at all, that is, because the tomb road is narrow, it can't fly, and it can't spread its wings to run, otherwise I don't know where it was dragged.

Miss Luo stabbed and was slapped away by a wing of the birdman, and then the birdman stretched out a wing of nearly two meters, and slapped left and right in the tomb, so that the tomb was shaking, you can imagine its great power.

Miss Luo was forced to retreat and couldn't get close at all. At this time, Liu Sanyan also killed, holding a shovel to cut, the birdman "chirped" a high-pitched scream, all said that the livestock are the most resentful, caught Liu Sanyan and slapped randomly, so that Liu Sanyan protected his head and skewered everywhere.

Miss Luo seized the opportunity, rolled on the spot, nimbly dodged the birdman's wings, and flipped over to me.

"Hold back the pain!" Miss Luo spoke quickly, holding down my shoulder with one hand and stabbing under the thigh of the birdman's claw.

"Chirp!"

"Ahh I%......—"

I screamed at the same time as the birdman, feeling a large piece of flesh being ripped off my left shoulder, and the birdman was also injured and let go of his claws, Miss Luo pulled me and hurriedly retreated.

The birdman was frightened, burrowed into another graveyard, and flopped and ran away.

"We left quickly, and the animal didn't know when it would return." Liu Sanyan stepped forward to support me, and the three of them hurriedly drilled out of the newly pried hole.

Liu Sanyan took the lead and entered, and I just wanted to follow in, but I felt Liu Sanyan push me back, and scolded angrily: "Fuck, come back, it's really easy to bully the third master!" ”

After saying that, I slapped a shovel at the entrance of the cave, I secretly said that it is not good, could it be that there are still birdmen?

It's just that Liu Sanyan's shovel was grabbed by one hand, and he heard a familiar voice say, "Who are you?" What about Miss Luo and Zhang Yuan? ”

"I am your ancestral ......" Liu Sanyan just wanted to scold, but was pulled by Miss Luo and said, "My own people." ”

"Applejack, are you all there?" Miss Luo asked in surprise.

"It's all here, Second Uncle Zhang and Dahui are a little injured, but they won't get in the way." A face poked into the hole, and sure enough, it was Applejack's familiar smile.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, this little life is guaranteed, they are many and well-equipped, not like Miss Luo, who is heartless and eye-catching, and ran to me with a knife, almost hanging here.

"Come with me, watch your step." Applejack said hello to me, reminding us.

I got out of the hole, and Applejack flashed a flashlight on the top of the graveyard and motioned for us to climb up, and with their help, it didn't take much effort to climb up the graveyard.

Applejack led the way in front, skillfully turning around, and crossed dozens of grave roads to see my second uncle and them, but they were all a little sluggish, and it seemed that they had experienced a lot of things.

I heard Applejack say that my second uncle was injured, so I hurriedly went up to see what the injury was.

"Second uncle is out of the way, what are you running to your distance? If there is really a long and short, how can I explain it to your parents? "The second uncle looked at me for a while, and then saw that my shoulders were bloody, and bandaged me in distress.

I thought to myself that if I didn't run away, I would be beaten to death by you, but I didn't dare to say it, because I was poisoned and everyone was delirious, and I can't blame them.

"How did you get here?" I asked Brother Marijuana curiously.

"Don't ask, I'll show you this." Brother Marijuana pulled me up, picked up a flare gun and fired it in front of me, and a fiery red light was like a meteor, cutting through the darkness and exploding in the distance, and suddenly the entire underground space was illuminated.

For a moment, I don't know how to describe it, if the whole underground palace is a miracle of nature, then this catacombic cemetery is a man-made miracle!

This row of tombs is the same as the container, there are fifty or sixty horizontal and vertical ones, the lower part is in the water, the whole tomb can be regarded as a ring of four circles, the innermost is the main burial chamber, the middle is the tomb road, and then the outer is the ear room, and finally is the corpse pool, the tomb road is all hollowed out in this circle, and then these movable tombs are built, the wisdom of the ancients is really breathtaking.

Applejack is familiar with the mechanism and has a strong interest in it, saying that the mechanism is semi-balanced, meaning that only half of the mechanism is touched later.

I hurriedly told him how I couldn't get out of the ear chamber before, Applejack said that he couldn't think of such a clever mechanism before, this should be the balance point of the tomb in the middle, the other end is blocked by a beam, stepping on it will not touch, the mechanism will still maintain balance, but beyond that balance point, the tomb road is like a slight sinking, stuck at the other end of the gear, the buoyancy of the water can provide power to the mechanism, the gear rotation pulls the tomb to move, every other distance, the balance force point is different, the speed of the gear is different, In other words, you walk fast or slowWhen you finish the second half, the tomb road has just turned around.

Then he drew a circle on the ground, and then drew a straight line to represent the tomb, pointing to the circumference of the circle and saying: "This circle is full of gears, and when you go to the center, the gears begin to turn, and the farther you go, the deeper the gears become, as for how the ancients calculated so accurately, how to obtain power, and how to make sure that the people in the tomb could not detect that the tomb was moving, I don't know, unless you can dive into the water and carefully watch the whole process." ”

"The wisdom of the ancients may be even more terrifying than we imagined, like the wooden bird that Luban can fly, and the wooden ox and flowing horse invented by Zhuge Liang, maybe it is not groundless." Professor Wu interjected: "We won't discuss these here, I'm afraid those big horses and birds will appear again, hurry up and enter the tomb." ”

"Big Bird? Is it the kind of monster bird that is the size of an adult? "Just now I was almost dragged away, and I asked hurriedly.

Professor Wu said: "It's that kind of bird, the mural we saw in the tomb, this should be the tomb of the Yue Kingdom during the Warring States Period." The Yue country believes in a bird as a totem, such as "Collecting Memories", "Water Note Sutra", "Taiping Yulan" have mentioned that the Yue people worship birds, and there is a saying that the totem that the Yue people believe in is a snake, but combined with the Hemudu culture, it is more likely to believe in birds. ”

"Professor Wu, I also went from the main burial chamber to the ear chamber and was trapped, but there is nothing in the main burial chamber except for a large coffin, why don't we go out first?" I don't understand a lot of what Professor Wu said, I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.

And I speculated with Miss Luo before that the Ming weapons in the Warring States Tomb should have been emptied by Cai Geng, so there is no need to stay here to take risks.

"The coffin?" Professor Wu frowned and asked suspiciously, "What kind of coffin?" ”

"It's a bronze coffin about four meters long and more than one meter wide, with four statues of bird-headed human bodies, and you can open the tomb by moving." I made a brief analogy, and for a moment I didn't know how to describe it.

Professor Wu and the others were even more confused when they heard this, and looked at Miss Luo again, who nodded and said, "Yes, I also entered the tomb and saw a secret door open, so I followed up without looking closely." ”

"It's strange that the burial chamber we entered was also a coffin, but it wasn't big, and it was a pair of armor buried inside." Brother Hemp interjected, pointing to a hemp bag next to him, I opened it and saw that it was indeed a pair of bronze armor with a hideous face.

This confuses me to say, isn't it a burial chamber that I entered?

"Xiao Zhang, you carefully tell me what happened behind the tomb, don't worry, talk slowly." Professor Wu said.

I thought about it for a while, organized the words and said: "After I fell from the tomb into the dark room, I felt a passage that rotated down, and when I went down was a tomb, and there were murals carved around the tomb, and there was a bronze coffin in the middle, and there was a very large coffin, and there were four statues of birds and human bodies at the four corners of the coffin, and there were many iron nails of such a long length nailed to the ground, and there was a skeleton, and I left these things behind by that person, for yes, there was a bloody handprint on one wall. ”

The atmosphere here is weird, and I talk nonsense, sometimes comparing the length of the nail to the ground, sometimes to the bloody handprint, but fortunately it can be understood.

"This is strange, we woke up and found that you were gone, so we searched in the tomb, and then found the dark room, saw your inscription, worried about your safety, let Qingqing go to you first, we explored the tomb and met you, and finally went down to the dark room, and then entered the tomb from the dark passage, it is indeed as you said nothing, there are murals on the stone wall, a sarcophagus in the middle, but the description is different from you, not so big, there are no nails and bird head statues, bones and bloody handprints have not been found, It's not the same burial chamber. Professor Wu was confused.

"Could it be that the burial chamber will also rotate? You and Comrade Zhang did not enter the same burial chamber. It makes sense. Liu Sanyan interjected.

After we met with Professor Wu again, everyone was puzzled by Liu Sanyan, I don't know how this guy got in, although everyone was still wary of him after Liu Sanyan's patient explanation, but there was no seizure on the surface.

Liu Sanyan's self-familiar skills are not small, and his face is thick, so he doesn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and said: "I heard from a friend before that the moving tomb is the weirdest, and it will produce meat dumplings." ”

Meat dumplings refer to very fat, many bright utensils or great value.

"It's called a living tomb, and it's for those who have great merit." Professor Wu explained: "According to the murals in the tomb, I guess this tomb owner is the tomb of the famous generals of the Yue country, the history of the Yue country records that there are few outstanding generals, the early Goujian period is the most powerful, Zhu Gou and Yue Wang Fei are called the last male lord, but the main is strong and weak, for a while I can't think of who the tomb will be, maybe I can find the clue when I enter the tomb again." ”

Liu Sanyan said: "But judging from the illuminated situation just now, these containers are far away from the tomb, and I have to be seven or eight meters away from the recent estimate." ”

Liu Sanyan's eyes are famously pointed, otherwise he wouldn't be called Liu Sanyan.

Indeed, as he said, the distance of seven or eight meters must not be able to jump, and Applejack and the others circled along the tomb, and they did not find the door to enter the tomb at all, it was like a closed secret room.

I don't know how deep the bottom of the water is, so it's not impossible to ask people to take the risk of swimming over and then build a rope bridge according to the previous method of crossing the corpse pool, but how to enter without a door? Do you dig in?

Digging is definitely not possible, not to mention that the stone wall is as hard as iron, and it is impossible to rely on manpower to dig through without a focus point.

"Just blow it up directly, and blow it up to relieve a thousand sorrows." Brother Marijuana proposed.

"No, if the chamber is really moving, then there may be some kind of balance, even if the power of the explosives can be controlled to prevent the chamber from collapsing, if the chamber loses balance, it will probably sink to the bottom." Ah Zhi explained: "I have observed, the tomb is not without secret doors, but you use stone scoops to jam the mechanism and make it all messy, and those secret doors automatically close, this kind of secret door is called Jiuniu Stone, which means that nine cows can't pull open." ”

Professor Wu said: "Ajie is right, we have also encountered this kind of Jiuniu Stone Gate before, and the outside cannot be opened, we guess that this should be a kind of tap stone, but no one has been able to figure out how to open the Jiuniu Stone, and when it comes to Jiuniu Stone, I am afraid that we can only use explosives." ”

Professor Wu explained what is called tap stone, also known as the top door device, which is a boulder that holds the tomb door after the tomb door is closed, that is to say, as long as the tomb door is closed, it cannot be opened from the outside, just like the door bolt is bolted, and there is no other way except to destroy the tomb door.

It's just that human wisdom is infinite, and the experience of the ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation.

For example, the horizontal stone, that is, the tomb door is closed and the boulder bar above the back door falls down, just stuck in the groove designed in the middle of the tomb door, generally like the horizontal stone of the tap stone will not be very large, after all, the space of the tomb is limited, the horizontal stone is heavy, and the heavy tomb door has to be increased and thickened, otherwise it will not be able to bear the weight of the horizontal stone from the outside after a few hits.

There are two ways to open the cross stone, one is to use a bent steel wire to wrap the cross stone from the crack of the door, hold both ends and slowly sawn off the cross stone, and the other is to fix the curved steel wire above the tomb door and hang the cross stone.

It's easier to rely on the stone, from the crack in the door with an iron rod to open it, but the stone is more troublesome than the horizontal stone, no matter how heavy the horizontal stone is, it is three or five hundred pounds, but the stone is basically a thousand pounds to start, In this case, there are many people and can be pushed away by brute force, and if there are fewer people, you will find other ways to enter the tomb.

The most headache is the ground stone, dig a pit behind the door of the tomb, put a chiseled stone, a bit like a seesaw when I was a child, but the offset point is different, the tomb door is closed, this end is warped up against the gate, this kind of tap stone does not take up much space, the tomb owner wants to chisel as big a stone as big a stone, I heard that there are some lack of virtue of the tomb owner chiseled the stone, when closing the door has to use a few war horses, once locked up the ghost can not enter.

Theoretically, to open this kind of ground stone, as long as the cocked end from the crack in the door to press down, but when encountering the ground stone, the Tufu would rather spend more time opening a thief hole in, which is really not open by people.

If the tap stone of the ground stone makes the tomb robbers frightened, then the Jiuniu Stone makes people desperate and can not see a little hope, the ground stone can find a way to hit a robbery hole or something to enter, but the way to enter is different, and when you meet the Jiuniu Stone, you want to hit the robbery hole without stopping.

Imagine that if your home is a thatched house, you will definitely not install a Grade A security door, there is no need at all, there is the effort to pry the door and tear down the house.

Therefore, when encountering Jiuniu Stone, you can only use explosives, and it is estimated that no matter how smart the ancients are, they would never have imagined that there would be powerful and terrifying explosives in later generations.
