In fact, everyone was not sure whether this position was the "balance" marked on the map.

But when everyone faced the huge dark pit in front of them, and saw the huge object that had been slowly rotating in front of them, and they couldn't say what it was, everyone no longer doubted that it should be the "balance" drawn on the picture.

Whether it is the shape or the surrounding environment, it corresponds to the painting on the picture.

This is the most shocking moment so far after everyone secretly broke into the Tibetan scripture cave of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.

Although there is the fear of sneaking into the scenic spot in the front, there is also the fear of worrying about the mechanism and news, and the fear of ghosts, the underworld and other things in the underworld when facing those skeletons or other unknown dangers.

Naturally, it is not easy, and I always feel that a heart sometimes has to hang in my throat.

However, when I didn't see the unknown object in front of me, I felt a strong sense of shock.

Because it's too unknown, weird, and huge.

Who has ever seen such a huge scale?

Balances were originally used to weigh things, and they were also commonly used in commodity trading in ancient times.

Whether it is a tea house, a pharmacy, or groceries, or food, you can see the scales.

In ancient times, it was called "platform weighing", which was generally weighed on the table.

Of course, there is also a "mention", that is, the kind of weighing rod engraved with "stars", weighing the plate with items, and then by moving the lead iron scale to determine the weight of the catty.

However, these scales are all practical and small, but no one has ever seen a weighing balance installed in the underground palace tomb, and it is so huge, what is it for?

Everyone wondered if they were dazzled.

But no matter how much everyone doubted, they could only tell themselves in their hearts that all this was true.

I didn't even think about the indescribably huge scale, and there is one here, and I was "lucky" to encounter it.

And the weirdest thing about this balance is that it's not stationary, it's always turning.

Not to mention the scales that appear strangely in the ancient tombs, even the scales in daily life, whether ancient or modern, should be placed there still.

It's nothing more than a swing on both sides when weighing a heavy object, how can it still rotate endlessly, what is the reason?

This simply subverts everyone's perception and is beyond everyone's imagination.

When everyone walked to this huge pit, they all watched the huge scales in the pit never stop spinning.

Bai Yunfei believed that although no one exclaimed and admired, the impact in his heart was absolutely the same.

Otherwise, even the master of the old ghost Su, who ran the train with his mouth full all day long, looked at it quietly at this time, and was so shocked that he didn't say a word.

Bai Yunfei stared at it for a long time, and suddenly felt that this world was a little unreal.

I can't figure it out, if the person who created this balance is not mentally ill, or for some reason forced to make such a balance, then it can only be said that he is full of food.

Hardly anyone in the real world does such a boring thing and wants to apply for "Guinness World Records"?

However, according to the descendants of the camel rider, this is something from the Cao Pi era, if not from the post-Tang period, after all, the statue of Hong Bi and his old man is sitting there.

At that time, there was no such bullshit as "Guinness World Records".

So what is the purpose of building such a huge scale?

Want to build a vegetable market underground, weigh cabbage, and sell beef?

Not to mention that the seller is already in the coffin, but who is the buyer?

Built in this netherworldly underground, is it sold to the demons and monsters in the eighteenth layer of hell?

Or are you going to make an unpredictable deal with the thieves who come to rob the tomb?

And what makes Bai Yunfei feel even more unreal is that this is a "big project"!

Not to mention how much manpower, financial and material resources are consumed, composition, molding, repairing, transportation, assembly and commissioning...

The mere question of how the power system that propels it to spin comes from is very puzzling to modern people.

can make such a huge big guy still run again and again after thousands of years, this alone can only be described as "ghostly workmanship".

Thinking of this, Bai Yunfei cleared his throat with difficulty, and asked in a somewhat out of tune: "Old Mr. Su, you... Can you be sure, this is the scale? ”

Seeing that Old Ghost Su had not recovered from the shock, he answered the question and muttered, "I'm a good girl, this is to weigh the earth." ”

Hearing him say this, Bai Yunfei suddenly had an inspiration, could it be a miracle?

Or an alien creation?

He summoned the LCD in his mind again, but only got two words: balance.

And then the LCD disappeared.

Bai Yunfei took two more steps forward, beyond everyone's standing position, and observed relatively forward.

The area of this pit is relatively large, and it is not clear that only a few flashlights can not illuminate the whole picture.

Bai Yunfei took out a few glow sticks from his backpack, twisted his hands, and used the standard grenade throwing action in the army, throwing the light-up glow sticks in several directions, and the bottom of several pits lit up with fluorescence.

Then he pulled out two more canisters of fluorescent bombs, activated the detonator, and threw them towards the dome on top of the pit.

After two loud explosions as the fluorescent bombs hit the dome, the two explosion points of the dome flew like fireworks, splashing fluorescence in all directions.

All of a sudden, the entire pit where the great balance was located was illuminated.

This is the end of the stone passage, in front of the passage is a very large deep pit, dozens of meters deep, like a huge "bucket".

If there are people with fear of heights standing here and looking down, not to mention the shock caused by the huge and strange balance in front of them, and not to think about the creepy spikes at the bottom of the pit for the time being, and the bones that have died tragically for a long time, the height of these tens of meters alone is enough to make people who are afraid of heights cramp in their legs and stomachs.

At the bottom of the deep pit, sharp spikes were densely packed, covering the entire bottom of the pit.

Because the distance is too high, it is difficult to see really, but look at the shape and neatness and regularity of those spikes, including the bones that can be seriously damaged.

It can be judged that it is made of iron or sharpened stone tools, but it is not ruled out that other materials are possible, but it is unlikely that it is wooden, after all, it is very old, and if it is wooden, it should have rotted long ago.

And in this deep pit full of spikes, there stood a swarthy behemoth—the scales.

If it's stationary, it's hard to see what it is, but it's constantly rotating, and its overall shape can be seen almost entirely.

It seems that what the camel rider's descendants said and what was marked on the map was true.

It is also through this actual feature that the reliability of this old yellow paper map is further verified.

"It's oil shale."

When a tray of this huge scale turned to everyone's eyes again, Su Laogui, who was standing on the edge of the pit and observed by the light of a flashlight, said.

The term "oil shale", which is familiar to people with some geological knowledge, is actually a rock layer where oil is stored, because it is rich in a large amount of crude oil, so that the rock itself is black and exudes ink luster.

The appearance of ordinary oil shale is not very different from other ores, but some oil shale with too much crude oil content can even be seen overflowing with oil on the surface and look oily.

This is not an exaggeration, just like gold ore rich in gold, the different content of gold ore gives the appearance of gold ore is different, and some ore can hardly be seen to contain gold.

And some of the natural ores known as "dog's head gold" can even reach an astonishing gold content of more than 90 percent, which is simply not an ore but a piece of gold!

The same is true of the oil shale in front of you, which is a rock mass with a very rich oil content.

Although the balance facades that could not bear too much dust were contaminated with a layer of dust due to the spilled oil, the balance tray and tie rod turned in front of everyone, reached out and touched them, and found that the surface of these rocks was all greasy and slippery.

Even the tray of the balance, or the flat part of the shelf, although there is a lot of dust accumulation, when you wipe it with your hand, the inside is still greasy and slippery, and you can't grasp it.

And the huge pit in front of him presents a circular space to block in front of everyone.

The supporting frame of the balance, which can also be called the "middle column", stands right in the center of the deep pit.

As the thick shelf slowly rotates, the dull sound of it running can be heard, and this response is mainly due to the power part connected to the bottom of the bracket.

The two pallets are on the same level, and the stone passage where everyone is standing, and the passage hole opposite, are all on the same horizontal plane.

It seems that, if you guess correctly, if you want to cross to the opposite side, you have to use the two trays of this balance as if you were riding a ropeway.

Above this huge "bucket" is a dome of round arches, much higher than the upper end of the scales.

Judging from the shape, an overly regular semicircle can only be the result of manual chiseling.

However, the light at the impact point of the fluorescent bomb detonated by Bai Yunfei just now was relatively bright, and it was found that the shooting point was surrounded by holes of equal spacing.

It is not known what these equally spaced holes are used for.

Bai Yunfei has seen descriptions in some novels, in those strange ancient tombs, there are dense small stone nests dug on the dome above, and the small stone nests are inlaid with huge night pearls that fluoresce and shine, like bright stars in the sky, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day.

Bai Yunfei also looked forward to how good it would be to have so many night pearls on the dome of this cave.

On the opposite side of the crowd, at the other end of the deep pit, there is a hole, the shape and size are basically the same as the passage hole on everyone's side, and it seems that it should be the exit on the other side of the passage.

It's just that the biggest problem at present is how to get to the mouth of the passage on the opposite side, which is blocked by this huge pit like a big bucket, and there is this strange and mysterious huge scale in the middle, and it seems that it is not easy to get over.

What's even more strange is that there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air, this is not a crater, how can there be such a strong smell of sulfur?

Cao Longxuan finally spoke: "Old Su, what do you think?" ”

Old Ghost Su smiled bitterly: "Don't say miles, this is a big organ set up by the owner of the tomb, if you guess well, if you want to pass, you have to go to the butcher shop to buy meat, first put us on it and weigh it." ”

Almost at the same time, the young Thirteen Wagyu Gang asked, "Why (why) do you want to weigh it?" ”

Old Ghost Su was probably tired of walking, and sat on the ground.

"It's not to be called, but to give us outsiders a problem, if one is not good, everyone will not talk about the past, and they will not even be able to come back."

Niu Gang is the kind of person who is easy to drill the tip of the horns, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't ask.

But he didn't want to think yet, and if you made him think about things beyond his ability to think, it would be worse than cutting his flesh with a knife.

So he insisted on asking, "Is this thing so mysterious?" Can't you do it any other way? ”

Old Ghost Su glared at him dissatisfiedly: "You baby, you don't like to use your brains the most, and you learn more from other people's Bai family babies. ”

This Niu Gang blushed and closed his mouth in disgust.

Everyone watched the huge scales in front of them spin in the huge pit, and it was clear that the two trays could be stepped up with a lift of their legs in front of their feet, but no one dared to do so.

After passing through those dumb traps and traps in front of them, everyone understood that this exaggerated and mysterious huge balance in front of them was by no means easy to use.

No matter how childlike the owner of the tomb was, he would not have gone out of his way to build a large toy in order to play a playground game with the thieves who had broken into his tomb.

This mysterious thing, before understanding its principle and danger, if you go up recklessly, you may become those white bones in the spikes at the bottom of the pit below.

How exactly should it be used?

This question is really difficult for everyone, although according to common sense, the balance is very simple, and the two trays on both sides can maintain the same weight, and the balance can be achieved.

Although the balance is huge and rotates constantly, as long as the sides are of equal weight, it should be able to carry people smoothly.

But the problem is that this is not an equal exchange, there is no one on the other side at all, so what kind of results will there be after a single person stands on the pallet on this side?
