Chapter 405: Inlaid Bronze Coffin
Looking back on the previous experiences, I always feel that Huzi is both familiar and unfamiliar, although he still looks cynical, but when he encounters traps, he can always show a calmness that is different from ordinary people, and in this convenience, even the seventh master may not be able to do it.
Take the tomb gate in front of me as an example, as soon as the seventh master saw that there was a mechanism, Huzi had already stood in front of the tomb door and began to crack the mechanism, just rushing this alertness and insight, I feel that Huzi seems to have changed as if he is a different person.
Watching Huzi tinker in front of the tomb gate for a while, the three of us didn't interrupt him, just watched quietly, about five or six minutes later, Huzi let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at us, and then scratched the back of his head, hehe smiled, and said, "Damn, don't look at this tomb gate is quite old, the mechanism is ruthless enough, if you open the tomb door directly, there will definitely be thousands of arrows around, and then we will all become hedgehogs!" As he spoke, Huzi shook a black object in his hand, about two centimeters long, cylindrical, I guess it must have been a device used to trigger the mechanism, and now it has been removed by him.
Seeing Huzi like this, the three of us all stared at him seriously, stared at him at once, and asked, "Damn, what's the matter?" Could it be that there's something on my face, why are you fucking staring at me! ”
As soon as Huzi's voice fell, Wang Chuyi immediately asked, "How do you know that there is a mechanism on this tomb door?" In the tomb before, you also found the mechanism in front of the general's corpse, what? Don't you explain? ”
As soon as Wang Chuyi's words came out, Seventh Master and I both nodded again and again, staring at Huzi intently, waiting for his answer.
Hearing Wang Chuyi's words, Huzi was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something carefully, and finally took out a yellowed booklet from his arms, handed it to the seventh master, and said, "This is from Wang Ying's old guy, which records in great detail the types of mechanisms, and how to find them and how to crack them!" ”
As soon as I heard that there was such a baby, the seventh master hurriedly took the booklet, and immediately opened it to check, this Wang Ying was born upside down, with good at cracking the tricks of the mechanism, in the inverted bucket world, it can be described as a general character of Mount Tai Beidou, the booklet that came from him, it must be a detailed and thoughtful record, but it is a difficult baby, Wang Chuyi and I can't help but come up to see.
I was dumbfounded, I saw that this book was densely filled with a kind of text that we couldn't understand, the big one could be the size of a thumbnail, and the small one was not as big as an ant, and the whole book was full of words of different sizes and forms, which made people's heads dizzy when they looked at it, not to mention understanding it, and it was difficult to even stare at it.
The seventh master also seemed to feel dizzy, and hurriedly closed the booklet, handed it to Huzi, and asked, "Can you understand this booklet?" ”
Huzi took the booklet and put it into his arms, then looked at us with a confused face, and asked, "It's just ordinary words, why can't you read them?" ”
Looking at Huzi's innocent expression and the understanding of him on weekdays, he would not deceive people under the guise of such a thing, because there is nothing profitable.
At this time, the seventh master sighed and said, "It seems that it is fate, this booklet is related to you, maybe this is an innate ability, Wang Ying has it, you also have it, it seems that you and Wang Ying have some kind of potential trait." ”
The seventh master's words were very vague, Huzi nodded as if he understood, then pointed to the tomb door, and said, "Seventh master, the organs have been dismantled, hurry up and open the door, I estimate that there must be something good behind this tomb door!" ”
The seventh master is not nonsense, took out the tools and began to tinker in front of the tomb door, I saw that the tools in his hand were replaced one after another, about ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement, at this time the seventh master's forehead was already oozing sweat, I looked a little anxious, with the skills of the seventh master, it takes so long to open this tomb door, it seems that it is indeed a very difficult tomb door, but the more difficult it is, the more it proves that we are not far from the main tomb now, and it is likely that the tomb door is opened, Behind it is the main burial chamber!
I was thinking about it, only to hear a crisp click, the seventh master slowly stood up, wiped the sweat on his head, looked at Huzi and said, "Are you sure that all the organs have been dismantled." ”
Huzi nodded again and again, and even couldn't wait to open the tomb door.
In the end, under the joint efforts of the Seventh Master and Huzi, the tomb door was slowly pushed open, and a whirlwind swept out of the tomb door, which swirled, and ran around us several times, and finally dissipated in the tomb road.
"Damn, how can there be wind behind this tomb door?"
In fact, at this time, it is not only Huzi, all of us wonder, the wind behind the tomb door is definitely not simple, there are only two possibilities, the first is that there is a living sacrifice in the tomb behind the tomb door, and the means are very cruel, after the burial, the yin qi does not disperse, gathered together and rushed out.
The second is that there are other exits behind this tomb door, which can lead to the ground!
"Let's go, go in and have a look!" As soon as the seventh master waved his hand, he walked into the tomb door first.
When I followed up, I realized that this burial chamber was not very large, much smaller than the previous burial chambers, and there were four pillars in the middle, which made the already small burial chamber even more crowded.
I raised my flashlight and looked forward, and suddenly found a huge square bronze coffin lying quietly in the middle of the four pillars of the tomb.
This bronze coffin is covered with gluttonous patterns all around, there is a raised beast head at the bottom, a ring with a mouth, and the two sides are engraved with Hanlong flying patterns, and the cover plate on the top of the bronze coffin is also made of bronze, with two huge grimaces depicted on it, and the eyeballs are bulging outward enough to be as high as a fist.
Half of the bronze coffin is on the ground, and the other half is sunk into the ground, which looks like it is embedded in the floor, which is very strange.
Seeing this, the seventh master couldn't help but sigh, and also felt very puzzled, I remember that in the records of ancient books, there are a large number of bronze coffins found by tomb thieves, but most of the bronze coffins are hung by iron chains, also known as bronze hanging coffins, this kind of coffins are more common in the tombs, although it is very dangerous, but most of them have a way to crack it, but the bronze coffin embedded in the ground in front of me is the first time I have seen it, and I can't find any records in the ancient books before, it seems that no one will be buried like this.
I raised my flashlight and shone it towards the top of the tomb to see if there were any iron chains left on the stone pillars at the top, and to see if it was because of the age, the iron chains rusted and broke, causing the bronze coffin to fall and fall into the ground.
But I held the flashlight for a long time, and I didn't find any traces of iron chains at all, and the four pillars connected the whole tomb up and down, boxy, the surface was very smooth, and there were dragon carving lines in the middle, which looked very magnificent.
Looking at the bronze coffin in front of him, Huzi asked in a low voice, "Hey, I said Lao Bai, the seventh master judged that this was a tomb in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and at that time, there would be bronzes?" ”
I nodded and said, "As early as the middle Shang period, the variety of bronzes was already abundant, and inscriptions and fine patterns appeared. From the late Shang period to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, this period was precisely the heyday of the development of bronze ware, with a variety of types, thick and dignified, gradually lengthened inscriptions, and rich patterns. The seventh master is right, you look at the shape of the bronze coffin, it is indeed thick and dignified, giving people a very calm feeling, like a product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, you must know that after the Zhou Dynasty, the carcass of the bronze began to become thinner, and the decoration was gradually simplified. From the late Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, due to the popularization and use of iron tools, copper tools have become less and less. ”
Huzi nodded after hearing this, and asked, "Lao Bai, let's open this bronze coffin together, right?" Anyway, it's all here, even if the artifact inside is not valuable, let's always take a look, right? ”
As soon as Huzi's voice fell, he suddenly heard a loud bang on the tomb door behind him, and when we looked back, we saw that the tomb door that had been pushed open just now was closed again, and it was inferred from the sound just now that the tomb door was closed with great force, I am afraid that it will be closed more tightly than when we opened the tomb door before, and I am afraid that there will not be even a trace of gap now.
Seeing this, the Seventh Master frowned and stared at Huzi and asked, "Didn't you say that all the organs were broken?" What's going on with this hourglass mechanism? ”
The hourglass mechanism mentioned by the seventh master is actually a very simple mechanism setting, making a large vessel similar to the hourglass, the working principle is the same as the hourglass, when the tomb door is opened, the hourglass instantly turns the direction, and then the fine sand or other things on the top begin to fall down, when it reaches a certain weight, this hourglass-like thing, it will be due to the offset of its own weight, and the transformation will occur, and the tomb door will be pushed up.
"The hourglass mechanism is not deadly, I found it when I looked at the mechanism on the tomb door just now, but this hourglass mechanism is too low to reach at all, I can't break it!"
Huzi looks like he loves it, and he is really angry, but now the tomb door is slammed shut, and the small wind that was still swirling in the tomb is all quiet, and the tomb is surprisingly quiet, and there is no longer the slightest sound of wind.
"It seems that there is an exit behind this tomb, the road we came in, brought in a lot of air currents, when the tomb door opened, the two air currents collided together, forming a whirlwind, according to the current situation, I am sure, somewhere in this tomb, there must be a hole connecting to the ground! Otherwise, there would be no whirlwind. ”
After the seventh master finished speaking, he raised his flashlight to look around, trying to quickly find the exit, and at this time, Huzi, it seems that all attention has been focused on the bronze coffin in the middle of the tomb, with his character, it is definitely the kind of lord who would rather kill mistakes and not let go, seeing this bronze coffin, he can still move there, and if the coffin is not opened, Huzi will not stop.
