Chapter 135: The Knob Mechanism
I have also learned some about the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty was the heyday of slavery, and the living sacrifices were usually made after the head was cut off.
The entire body of the slave was sacrificed, and the head was the core of the sacrifice, and it was only natural that it should be placed on the altar below.
"This blood pool is made of a total of 10,000 whole sacrificial blood, according to the mural of this genus, a few days after the sacrifice is offered, the heavenly gift of the divine stone."
"This is a stone the size of a human head, and it fell into Xia Yan's hands."
"At this point, the original background has changed, the hill has turned into a pit, the people around have turned into dry bones, and only one person is holding a stone, still maintaining the appearance of the previous picture."
When Wang Scumbag spoke, his vision flashed with fine light, if what was said in the picture was not wrong, then this divine stone that fell from the sky is probably the main purpose of our search this time.
Hearing this, the faces of the others obviously showed expressions of interest, especially Qian Lao.
Among them, Qian Lao is the oldest, even if his body is still strong, but he is also approaching the limit.
Even if it is just a legend, this kind of ethereal immortality is an expectation worth exploring for him now.
And now this situation is close to the extreme.
When the texture mural arrived, all the contents came to an abrupt end, and although there was still room around the stone platform where there could be painting, there was no mural anymore.
As soon as I finished reading the mural, everyone's eyes fell on the box in front of me, the content of the mural is really limited, and the box in front of me did not mention the slightest thing, and at the same time did not mention how to go down to the altar below.
However, whether it is going down to the altar or the heaven-sent divine stone, it must be inseparable from the box in front of him.
I can't say, this box is the mechanism that opens down to the altar, or if it directly contains the so-called Heavenly Divine Stone!
"It's hard work, it's time to think about the box in front of you."
Qian Lao thanked him softly, and in the second half of the sentence, he looked at the stone box in front of him as if he was talking to himself.
At this time, it is full of various patterns, which are not like the ones engraved on the stone platform, which are a kind of recorded and immediate murals, but more like some kind of decorative patterns.
Just like the gluttonous patterns and various other patterns used to inlay the tripod in ancient times.
The knob on it easily shows the type of box, and it should be a knob-type trap box.
Qian Lao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was looking at the knobs on the mechanism box, and many rotating mechanisms could see the range of the knobs through the contact part of the knobs.
Through this, it is often possible to determine the rules used for knob locks.
I also followed Qian Lao's line of sight and looked at the knob of the trap box in front of me, but the craftsmanship of this trap box was unusually high, and there was only a shallow line from the knob of the trap box to the body of the trap box.
This line is so thin that you can't even see the inside with the naked eye, and you can't even pierce it with a needle.
"The craftsmanship of this mechanism box is quite high, I didn't expect to see such a level of mechanism in the tomb of the Shang Dynasty at all."
Qian Lao exclaimed, his eyes brightened, staring at the mechanism box in front of him as if he had seen a rare treasure.
I also understand why Qian Lao was a little surprised that the period of prosperity of the Organ was after the Spring and Autumn Period, while the Shang Dynasty was located before the Spring and Autumn Period.
In this period, the mechanism is far from being as exquisite as it was later, but you can see such a precise mechanism box in front of you, it is estimated that in that era, it can be regarded as a unique treasure!
There were two glitters in my eyes, and what could be contained in this box wouldn't be a simple thing!
"Old Qian, do you want me to try it first, the surface of this box is not very complicated, and you shouldn't be able to see anything just by looking at it."
Seeing that Qian Lao had not moved for a long time, naturally people with poor patience couldn't sit still, and Crouching Tiger was the first to speak.
Although Crouching Tiger is not very patient, he has to say that what he said is very reasonable, according to the structure of this machine box, it is so sophisticated, and if you continue to look at it like this, there will be no results.
"Okay, then you try, stay safe." Qian Lao pondered for a moment, his hand raised slightly, and we took a few steps back, retreating to the stone steps where we were standing before.
Now there is only one crouching tiger standing on the entire stone platform.
Due to the previous finger injury, it was only more than ten minutes later, and sweat still came down from Crouching Tiger's forehead from time to time, and his face was not very good.
With a long exhale, Crouching Tiger's still trembling hand slowly stretched out to the knob on the box in front of him.
"Click....."
After a moment's hesitation, Crouching Tiger's hand touched the knob of the box tightly, and then turned clockwise.
There was a crisp clicking sound when the knob turned, which seemed to come from the inside of the box.
At the moment when this voice sounded, my eyes looked around, and the whole person became very alert, in case the knob on this machine box was associated with some deadly mechanism, it must be reacted at the first time, so that there is a possibility of survival.
Since the beginning of the tomb, there have been almost no mechanisms, and if there is a subtle mechanism, it is only the door that we passed through when we came to this hall.
However, even if this mechanism door uses the technology of gossip, in terms of the sophistication of the mechanism, it is far inferior to the mechanism of the tomb of King Yan Zhao.
The complexity of this door is far less complicated than the feng shui lock in the tomb of King Yan Zhao, plus the Shang Dynasty was before the prevalence of institutions.
So along the way, I gradually became careless, but when I saw the box in front of me, I knew that my carelessness was a terrible mistake.
Although this era was before the era of the prevalence of mechanisms, the top-notch mechanism skills were still relatively exquisite.
As the mechanism sounded, nothing changed around him, and then Crouching Tiger let out a long sigh of relief, and the knob in his hand began to rotate again.
The first rotation is made clockwise to the head, in order to test the angle of the knob.
I can clearly see that the knob in front of me is not 360 degrees, but has an obvious angle limit, looking at the scene of the crouching tiger's rotation, the angle limit should be 270 degrees.
However, since there is no change after the mechanism is rotated, it means that the rotation has not had any effect.
