Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tomb Trap The Cave is Sealed
Qiao Er took Shen Yan and Xiao Feiying to fly down the entrance of the thief cave, the hole was not big but very deep, and several people coiled down the hole along the rope.
After going down, it was a boxy burial chamber, with stone walls on all sides, the burial chamber was not large, and the hammer had already lit two torches in it, and the light was clear on all sides.
Qiao Er went down and checked left and right, this should be a burial ear room, there are some burial bronzes around the secret room, it should be an imperial tomb That's right, if you can bury so many valuable bronzes in the ear room, it must be a big tomb for princes and generals.
There was a corpse in the middle of the tomb, there was no coffin, so he lay down on the ground, Qiao Er went up to check it, it should be a woman's bones, it should be a concubine who accompanied the burial, etc.
Qiao Er took one of the torches in Hammer's hand and looked around in the ear chamber.
"Second Brother Qiao, this should be the tomb of Martial King Ji Fa," Xiao Feiying asked,
"Well, I'm not sure yet, but it's definitely an imperial tomb," Qiao Er replied.
Qiao Er turned to the hammer and said, "Hammer, almost, light the lamp"
Iron Hammer nodded: "Order, second brother."
The hammer took out a piece of white wax from the backpack behind him, the average white wax is only the thickness of a finger, but the hammer took out this white wax is the thickness of a girl's arm, and the wick is also special, and the hammer puts this white wax in the southeast corner of the tomb and ignites it.
Shen Yan didn't know what Iron Hammer and Qiao Er were doing, what kind of lawsuit they were selling, he looked at Qiao Er and said, "Captain Qiao Er, this is"?
Before Shen Yan could finish speaking, Qiao Er immediately put a finger in front of his mouth and made a shushing motion, interrupting Shen Yan's questioning.
Shen Yan could only watch patiently, only to see the white wax lit by the iron hammer, and see that the flame was a normal flame of fire yellow, but in a moment the flame turned dark blue, and the entire tomb was illuminated by a deep feeling of yin qi, which made people creepy, there was no air flow in the tomb, but this dark blue flame swayed without wind, Qiao Er and Iron Hammer also saw sweat on their foreheads when they saw this situation, Iron Hammer squatted on the ground and turned his head to look at Qiao Er, and the two did not speak.
Just between breaths, the faint blue flame actually stopped swaying again, and returned to the normal flame color of fire yellow, seeing this situation, Qiao Er and Iron Hammer breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yi was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked Qiao Er:
"Second Lieutenant Qiao, what are you?"
Qiao Erzi said seriously.
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, and they look for the stars. I have made a pact with the ghosts and gods that whoever enters the tomb will light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb, and if the candle is extinguished, it will quickly retreat, and nothing can be taken."
Shen Yan glanced at the candle that was shining with a fiery yellow flame and said, "Then what if the candle is not extinguished"?
"You can enter the tomb normally without extinguishing it, just"? Qiao Er was a little puzzled.
"Just what," Shen asked him.
"It's nothing, it's okay, it's okay" Qiao Er frowned and waved his hand.
How could the flame of this candle turn dark blue for a moment, there was something weird, but Qiao Er couldn't say anything.
"Everyone, there should be no problem, the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty are generally A-shaped, we went down the tomb from the ear chamber, we should have crossed the front corridor, and most of the organs have already crossed"
A stone door on the left side of the tomb should be connected to the main tomb, Shen Yan knocked on this stone door with the handle of a short sword next to him, the stone door made a muffled sound of "poof", Shen Yan turned his head to look at Qiao Er and said: "Second Captain Qiao, how thick is this door, how does it feel solid", Shen Yan inserted the short sword into his waist again, pushed the stone door hard, and found that the stone door had not moved at all.
Qiao Er glanced at the hammer and said, "Hammer, try it together and see if you can push it."
The three big men used all their strength together, the hammer was born with infinite strength, and he could push the stone gate of 100 catties by himself on weekdays, but this stone gate did not move at all.
Qiao Eryi sat on the ground with his buttocks, touching his gold talisman in his hand.
"Second brother, why is this stone gate so heavy, usually one person from a hundred and ten pounds of stone gate can push it, but there are three people in this stone gate, no matter how much they don't move, it looks like a whole big stone behind it" Iron Hammer also said with a sigh of breath.
"Don't worry, there may be a mechanism here, you can't use brute force, a hammer, let's look on the stone wall on the side to see if there can be a mechanism."
Iron Hammer and Qiao Er got up, one on the left and one on the right, one of them held a huge shovel, one held a long sword, knocking brick by brick, while knocking, listening to the sound inside, Xiao Feiying and Shen Wei didn't dare to speak, and they stared at these two nervously.
Suddenly, when the hammer hit the bottom brick, the hammer noticed that the sound of the brick was different from the others, as if it was hollow.
Iron Hammer hurriedly looked at Qiao Er: "Second brother, there is a problem here, it seems to be empty."
Qiao Er immediately ran over: "Which piece, iron hammer."
"Bottom".
Iron Hammer said as he stood up and pointed to a green brick.
Qiao Er immediately fell to the ground, first gently knocked the green brick a few times with the hilt of the short sword, indeed, the echo of this brick is very crisp, there should be a hole in it, Qiao Er gently pushed the green brick with his hand, and the green brick was pushed in at once, only to hear the sound of mechanical operation, crunch, Qiao Er was startled, and immediately retreated.
This chamber is full of traps, and if you are not careful, you will lose yourself and your companions, and you never know if the trap you touch will open a door to the road ahead or open a bow and arrow that will end your life.
The blue brick pushed by Qiao Er seemed to have touched something, and the entire burial chamber began to shake violently.
Shen Yan's faces turned pale in an instant, as if they were facing a great enemy, and the weapons in their hands were clenched, for fear that some mechanism would shoot cold arrows and lose their lives here, but the violent shaking in this tomb made several people stand unsteadily, Qiao Er immediately went over to help Xiao Feiying steady, but the shaking of this tomb was too powerful.
"Second Brother Qiao, what did you move, don't this tomb collapse, let's go out quickly" Xiao Feiying had already fallen to the ground as she spoke.
Shen Yan grabbed Xiao Feiying: "Second brother, the tomb is about to collapse, hurry up and get out of the robbery hole."
At this time, the place where Qiao Er pressed the brick just now suddenly rose slowly, and it turned out to be a door, but the shaking of the entire tomb did not stop, and a boulder fell on the robbery hole, which happened to block the entrance of the robbery cave where Qiao Er and several people went down to the tomb, and the tomb was instantly pitch black, only a faint candle in the southeast corner of the tomb emitted a little light, otherwise the entire tomb would be pitch black, but fortunately, the strong earthquake in the tomb disappeared.
"Iron Hammer, light the torch," Qiao Er hurriedly helped the little flying warbler on the ground up, since Iron Hammer knew that this little junior sister had a problem, he felt that he was very reluctant to contact this little junior sister, Qiao Er was worried that the little flying warbler would find something, and he would go on it himself every time.
The hammer lit three torches and handed them to Shen Yan and Qiao Er, and several people looked at the stone door that opened in front of them, and the hammer took two steps forward and illuminated the place where the stone door was opened with a torch.
"I'll go, this Ji Fa is bothered enough, this stone door turned out to be a fake, and the blue brick and stone wall next to it is the door, and an ear room is so troublesome," Iron Hammer said.
"Don't worry about the stone gate for now, our thief cave entrance is sealed, let's get the stone above our heads first," Shen Yan looked at the boulder above his head with a torch, because this tomb was not high, and the dust and smoke from the burning torch were almost unable to open their eyes. Hammer looked at the boulder above him and shook his head.
"Let's go to the tomb first, find another way out, this boulder slides down the robbery hole, we can't use the force below, the thief hole is more than ten feet deep, it is estimated that it will be difficult to push it out," said the hammer.
Qiao Er carefully illuminated the boulder above his head with a torch,
"Let's go inside, don't care about this thief hole, it's all down, do you want to go out empty-handed?"
