Chapter 33: The Willow Coffin
The seventh master stomped his feet angrily and said, "That flashlight just now should be too light to trigger the mechanism!" Lao Tzu told you that there is a mechanism, and you still don't believe the fuck! You have to step on it. ”
Huzi stood tremblingly on the octagonal stone brick and said, "I was wrong Seventh Master, now... Now what! ”
The seventh master didn't answer, took two steps to the left, and his eyes fell on the octagonal square brick that Huzi had stepped on, and then closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to calculate something, and his expression was very much like a fortune-telling immortal.
I didn't dare to disturb him, the time was so wasted, about ten minutes, the seventh master opened his eyes and said to us, "Follow me, don't step on the wrong one." ”
After speaking, he took a step into the tomb, Chu Yi and I carefully stared at the foothold of each step of the seventh master, for fear that stepping on the wrong step would trigger what mechanism, when passing by Huzi's side, the seventh master glanced at him and said, "Don't fucking make your own decisions this time, follow up." ”
Huzi nodded and followed behind the seventh master, and said, "Yes, yes, you are a god operator in the world, and you have no last resort, no last resort." ”
The tomb was not long, and soon we reached the end, only to see a square tomb door appear in front of us.
I have also seen a lot of tomb doors in this ancient tomb, most of them have some patterns, carvings and the like, used to hide the mechanism, but the tomb door in front of me does not have any fancy decoration, the decent pestle is there, and the walls of the tomb on both sides are not the slightest abnormal, and there is not even a place to hide the mechanism.
I looked at the nearly three-meter-high tomb door, and could hardly find any way to open it, I looked at the seventh master and asked, "Seventh master, how is this tomb door ......?"
Before I finished speaking, the seventh master smiled and said, "What?" I've seen a lot of secret doors, and I really don't know how to open the tomb door when I meet a decent door? ”
As soon as I was told by the Seventh Master, I could only nod and admit it.
At this time, the seventh master took out a string of iron pieces of different shapes from his bag, and began to tinker with this tomb door, the movements of his hands were very fast, and his mouth was not idle, and said to us, "We have a history of more than 5,000 years, and more than a dozen dynasties before and after, and they are also different in terms of building tombs and burying the dead, so the methods of opening this tomb door are also different. ”
While speaking, the seventh master had already tried the string of iron pieces of different shapes in his hand, and then took out a string from his bag, and then said, "You are for example, the Ming Dynasty, the general tomb door mechanism is a stone ball, after the tomb door is closed, the stone ball slides down the groove behind, and the tomb door is tightly resisted, it is difficult to open, for this kind of tomb door, as long as the general steel wire sleeve is used, plugged into the gap along the tomb door, the bottom of the stone ball is covered, and it can be opened when the stone ball moves back." ”
At this time, I heard a creaking sound from behind the tomb door, and it seemed that the seventh master's method had taken effect, and it was estimated that the mechanism behind the tomb door was being fiddled, but now I am most interested in the methods of opening the tomb door that the seventh master said, which is all experience, and there is no experience of more than a dozen inverted fights, which is absolutely unknown, so I asked, "Seventh master, what other way to open the tomb door, can you talk about it?" ”
Seeing that I was interested, the seventh master smiled and said, "There is also the tomb door of the Qing Dynasty, which is generally added to the back of the door with a top door latch that can be sliding, which is also difficult to open, and a T-shaped key is used." Saying that, the hook hand of the seventh master hooked up a T-shaped iron piece and shook it.
Huzi may have been impatient to wait, so he said, "Don't talk about those useless things, Seventh Master, just talk about this door, how to open it!" ”
The seventh master glanced at Huzi and said, "Behind this door are two stone pins of different weights, this kind of stone pins are like a seesaw, one is light and the other is heavy, when the tomb door was closed, the light end was pushed to the ground, and the heavy end was lifted." After the tomb door is completely closed, because of gravity, the heavy end falls again, and the light end lifts up, so the door is firmly resisted, as long as the light end is covered with iron wire, pulled back hard, and the stone pin is pressed down again, the tomb door can be opened. ”
As he spoke, the seventh master already held a wire rope in his hand, wrapped it around his hand twice, and said, "When I pull back and call you, you will open this tomb door with force." ”
We nodded, and the seventh master began to pull back, only to hear the creaking sound of the stone rubbing behind the tomb door, the whole wire has been firmly taut, the creaking frequency is getting faster and faster, and finally we hear a "bang", the sound is very small, but it can still be heard very real in this silent tomb.
"Push!" After the seventh master shouted, the three of us began to push this stone door without hesitation, I have already used my strength to eat, but this stone door is too heavy, and after pushing for about five or six minutes, it only retreats a crack, just enough to accommodate one person to pass through.
At this time, the seventh master said, "Okay, just pass people!" As he spoke, he began to walk towards us, putting away the wire in his hand as he went.
But when we entered, we took a flashlight and shone it, and we were all stunned, and this burial chamber was densely packed with coffins.
Huzi was surprised and said, "Fuck, what's the fuck going on?" So many coffins! ”
I took a careful look at the flashlight, and found that although there are many coffins here, at first glance they look dense, but after careful observation, I found that the arrangement of these coffins is very particular, basically there is a wooden coffin every other meter, count carefully, there are seven rows in total, there are seven in each row, exactly forty-nine coffins.
I walked to a coffin with a flashlight, carefully checked, and found that the material used in this coffin is very ordinary, it should be willow, the lid of the coffin is not very well sealed, there are gaps in many places, I bent down and shined a flashlight inside, but because the gap is too small to see the things inside, I want to lift the lid to see what is inside.
As soon as I put my hand on the coffin lid, I heard the seventh master shouting, "Don't open the coffin!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked the seventh master, "These are all ordinary coffins, is there anything wrong?" ”
The seventh master said in a gloomy voice, "As the saying goes, don't plant mulberry in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't let go of ghosts in the courtyard to clap your hands, that is, the ancients thought that mulberry trees, willows, and poplars were ominous things, and they belonged to yin, so the coffin would never be made of these three materials, if my guess is right, the coffin here should be full of dead soldiers before the tomb owner's death!" Mass burial here! The purpose of making a coffin out of willow wood is to gather yin qi, and if you open the coffin lid with one hand, there will definitely be a corpse inside! ”
At this moment, Huzi's voice came from not far away, "The Seventh Master said... That's right... Be... It's a zongzi... Still... It's really fucking up... The corpse is raised. ”
I turned my head to look, only to find that this guy Huzi had opened a coffin, and looking at a black hand full of wrinkles stretched out of the coffin, I felt bad and shouted "Huzi, run!" ”
