Chapter 434: Death when the door is opened
More than ten days later, the waterhole in the tomb really gathered water, however, the water surface is still more than a zhang away from the entrance of the tomb, this distance is not a big problem, everyone took advantage of the more than ten days of waiting time, and has already made a floating ladder more than two zhang high.
Below the floating ladder are two side-by-side stout wooden piles, above the wooden stake is a pole with the thickness of a human leg, the wooden stake is like a canoe, and the pole is supported below, and the pole is a horizontal orange for people to climb up, the floating ladder is a bit like the meaning of a siege ladder, however, it is to float on the water.
The master was the first to jump into the water, Xiao 11, Xiao 12, Xiao 13, the eldest son of the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" Hou Zhong and Hou Yi, and the five people followed and jumped in, and the nephew of the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" Hou Xin said that he was not good at water and did not dare to go into the water, so he waited on it with Xiao Laodao and the "Thousand-handed Monkey".
Speaking of the grandfather, they held torches in the water and pushed the floating ladder, and quickly swam to the opposite bank, but they did not find a doorway or platform or other buildings on the opposite bank, the whole is a cave wall, as if there is no ancient tomb at all.
In the end, Xiao Shiyi's eyes were sharp, and he found that something was wrong on the stone wall, and everyone gathered the torches together, and shone at the stone wall that was somewhat abnormal above, and there seemed to be four seams on the stone wall, two up and down, and two on the left and right.
Xiao Shiyi made such a comparison, and Hou Zhong, the eldest son of the "Thousand-Handed Monkey", saw it, and said to the grandfather that this is a stone gate, in order not to let people find out, the stone gate is made into the appearance of a stone wall, which is consistent with the texture of the stone wall next to it.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly set up the floating ladder in the water, this time the grandfather did not go up, and helped to hold the floating ladder with others, and Hou Zhong climbed up the floating ladder. This Hou Zhong has obviously robbed a lot of tombs, and he has a lot of experience, and before he climbed to the stone gate, he beckoned the people below, it is indeed a door, or a unique door, and asked everyone to hand him a crowbar.
After handing over the crowbar, Hou Zhong pried it a few times, and actually screamed badly, beckoned to the people below, quickly dodge, shouted, he jumped off the floating ladder by himself, and jumped into the water.
The people below are not stupid, as soon as they heard him shouting, they scattered the floating ladders one after another, and each swam towards the distance, and then heard a "poof" sound, and the stone door on the stone wall fell down, splashing more than two feet high in the water, and a circle of water halos made the people in the water fall together.
Fortunately, no one was hit by the stone gate, however, the floating ladder was smashed into two, Hou Zhong shouted in the water: "It is a living stone that is slanted outward, I just pried it a few times and it fell......" Hou Zhong seems to be explaining for himself, but even if he doesn't explain, everyone can understand, tomb robbery is risky, in the face of such an organ, you can't blame him, whoever goes up to pry will fall down, robbing people's tombs, people will not show mercy, I am afraid that the death is not miserable enough.
When the water was exhausted, everyone checked the floating ladder, it was not bad, although it was smashed into two, but it did not fall apart, it could still be used, everyone lifted the floating ladder again, it was just right, the top of the floating ladder was just on the door of the stone wall.
The master wanted to be the first to climb up this time, but at this moment, the shouts of Xiao Laodao and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" came from behind him: "Brother...... Son...... How are we, what's going on? ”
Xiao Laodao and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" obviously heard the sound of falling water, and Hou Zhong replied: "We're okay Dad, it's all my fault for being careless......"
Xiao Laodao shouted: "It's okay, have you found the entrance?" ”
Hou Zhong replied: "I found it, Liu Daxia is going to go up and have a look." ”
Xiao Laodao shouted: "Don't act rashly, wait for us to pass......"
After a while, Xiao Laodao's voice actually came again, "Let's come back first, Brother Hou and I thought of another way." ”
When the grandfather heard this, he left the floating ladder, turned around and swam back, and when a few people returned to the tomb, a bonfire had been lit in the tomb, and everyone hurriedly took off their clothes to roast the fire.
At this time, Xiao Laodao said to everyone: "Shicai was going to go into the water to join you, but Brother Hou thought of another idea. ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at the "Thousand-Handed Monkey", and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" hurriedly said: "It's not a way for us to go over like this, I thought about it just now, it is better to set up two suspension ropes on top of this, so that it is convenient to enter and exit, even if the spring outside is cracked and the water in the pit is gone, we will not be trapped inside." ”
When everyone heard this, this is a good idea, so that when they dig out the treasure inside, they don't have to float in the water anymore, and it is not a good taste to soak in the water in this winter.
After the grandfather and a few people smoked their bodies and clothes, they did what they said, how did they set up a hanging rope, two ropes, one on the ground, all the way to the opposite bank, one on the cave wall, and all the way to the other bank, after both ends were firmly fixed, step on the lower one, hold on the upper one, and move along the rope to the opposite bank little by little.
The place where the rope is tied is still the same as before, the stone is pierced, beaten into a nose and eye, and the rope is tied into the nose and eye, for the sake of safety, the upper and lower ropes are double-stranded, not to mention people, it is okay to get two cows to hang up.
It took several hours for everyone to finally set up the hanging rope, at this time, it was dark for the master, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone, rest for the night first, and wait for tomorrow to officially enter the tomb.
At this time, the time limit for the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" to bet with people had passed, and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" said to Xiao Laodao that he hoped that a good treasure could be taken out of the tomb, otherwise, after spending so much effort, he would lose more than he gained.
Xiao Laodao smiled and comforted him, if there are few treasures in the tomb, will the tomb owner still need to go to great lengths to make the tomb like this, don't worry, when we go in tomorrow, it will definitely be an unexpected big harvest.
The next day, before dawn, everyone got up, one by one couldn't wait, even the grandfather was a little looking forward to it, tossing back and forth for more than a month, and today I was finally able to see the tomb.
Just when everyone was climbing along the hanging rope towards the opposite bank, the nephew of the "thousand-handed monkey" waited for a letter, saying that he had a stomachache and that it was convenient to go outside, so let everyone go first. "Thousand-handed Monkey" counted a few words behind him, it was inconvenient early or late, but at this time, this time the grave was dug up with the least effort!
Hou Xin seemed to be quite anxious, he was counted down by the "Thousand-Handed Monkey", and he didn't dare to move when he stood still, Xiao Laodao said: "Go quickly, I think it's a cold at night." Hou Xin suddenly ran out with his stomach in his hands as if he had been granted amnesty.
The grandfather didn't wait for him, they climbed along the hanging rope one by one, and when the last one climbed to the opposite side, he shouted a few times, but he didn't see a response from the letter, and it is estimated that he has not come back yet. So, the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" asked his second son Hou Yi to stay and wait for him, while the others went into the tomb to take a look.
Torches were lit, and everyone was still in a tombway, similar to the one that came in on the other side, but there were no boulders blocking the way.
Walked more than ten steps along the tomb road, the space suddenly opened up, the whole is a square space, like a flat-roofed hall, about two zhang high, about four zhang wide, around the main hall, these symmetrical door openings, perhaps because of the overconfidence in the boulders and big pits outside, there is no stone door on these door holes.
One by one, the people walked into these doorways, and they saw that they were all small ear chambers, which were full of all kinds of gold and silver jewels, and the torches reflected all kinds of colors and light.
Xiao Laodao and the "thousand-handed monkey" saw this, and laughed at the same time, some of these objects, even they are the first time to see, the most eye-catching, are gold, silver, jade and bronze four materials, each of the four sacred beasts and the zodiac, as well as the Golden Buddha, Silver Guanyin, the Four King Kongs, the Eighteen Arhats and so on.
Xiao Lao Dao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked the "thousand-handed monkey": "Old brother, you didn't lose money this time, right?" ”
"Thousand-handed monkey" rubbed his hands vigorously, "No loss, no loss, this time out, I will wash my hands in a golden basin and go home to retire!" ”
Xiao Laodao patted the shoulder of the "Thousand-Handed Monkey", "Let's go, brother, let's go to the main tomb and see what else is there!" ”
The main burial chamber is in the deepest part of the main hall, but it is different from those ear chambers, there are actually two heavy stone doors, Xiao Laodao walked to the stone gate, and knocked it with the dust whisk handle in his hand, "One foot and five inches thick, this stone door is only afraid that it is harder than the stone here." ”
The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" looked at the stone gate a few times and said, "Not only is it hard, but I think it is still the last mechanism in the entire tomb." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the "Thousand-Handed Monkey", and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" pointed to the bottom of the tomb door, "Brother has seen it, this stone gate has no threshold, which means that it has resisted from the inside, and it should be the same as the stone gate above the waterhole before, as long as you pry it, it will be smashed outward, if we don't pay attention, we can be smashed under the stone gate." ”
Xiao Laodao nodded hurriedly, "What the elder brother said is very true, but these organs depend on who they are right for, and when you meet you, an old expert, isn't this a little trick." ”
The "Thousand-Handed Monkey" didn't say anything, and ordered his eldest son Hou Xin with a solemn face: "Take out the guy." ”
Hou Xin hurriedly handed a small hammer to the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" from the baggage, and the "Thousand-Handed Monkey" stood on the outside of the two doors with the small hammer, knocked lightly on the side of the door, knocked a few times, and heard a soft "creak", followed by the two heavy stone doors smashed down like a mountain of mountains.
With a "bang", the two stone doors slammed into the ground, kicking up a circle of dust, but fortunately everyone hid far away, otherwise, they would all have to be smashed into meatloaf.
When the dust had cleared, everyone gathered around the door with torches and saw that there was a six-foot-long doorway, and at the end of the doorway, there were two stone doors.
Xiao Laodao couldn't help but say: "Poor Dao has never encountered such a difficult tomb. Then he turned his face to look at the "Thousand-Handed Monkey": "Brother, look at this, can there still be a mechanism?" ”
"Thousand-Handed Monkey" held the torch and cautiously took a picture inside, "I don't think there is a mechanism, but ......" "Thousand-Handed Monkey" paused, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, "Why do I look at the two doors inside, there seem to be words?" ”
"Thousand-handed Monkey" said, Xiao Shiyi slapped his palm twice, gestured and said: There are words, there is still resentment on the door, it should be written in blood.
When the master heard this, he walked closer, put the torch into the doorway, looked carefully at the door inside, and read: "If you dare to open this door, there will be a vicious murderer who will ask for your life...... As soon as the master finished reading, a black shadow quietly appeared from behind everyone, and everyone was suddenly shocked......
