Volume 2 The Evil Tomb Chapter 5 The Tomb Gate
"Yu Qian, are you really willing to take risks with me? This is the last time I'll ask you, I need a definitive answer! β
I have already made a decision in my heart, but I am still different from Yu Qian. Therefore, I sent out one last inquiry.
Yu Qian didn't answer me immediately, but looked at me with a look of surprise and asked, "You mean, can you really find the hidden main coffin?" β
I nodded, pointed to the surface of the water and said, "Right down here, the feng shui pattern here is very obvious, and anyone who knows a little bit of feng shui will know the location." β
Yu Qian immediately put on an oxygen cylinder mask and hurriedly walked to the water's edge. Before I could react, I heard her shout from the edge of the pool, "So what are you waiting for? Hurry up! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. β
Her words and her actions had already indicated the answer I wanted to know, and I didn't think much about it, smiled and walked over.
More than ten years ago, I followed Cheng Zhi into the water and surpassed the cave I came into. However, we didn't dive to the bottom and didn't find anything special. So, I don't know where the coffin is underwater.
But this did not affect our passion, I followed Yu Qian, diving all the way, rushing to the bottom of the water.
I don't know how deep this pool is, we dived for nearly five minutes, and we didn't see the bottom. According to the speed at which we were sneaking, five minutes was at least more than ten meters deep.
In the tenth minute, I was a little worried, and pulled Yu Qian from behind, motioning for her to stop. We couldn't talk underwater, so I gestured to her not to go down and to go back to the surface.
But Yu Qian was very enthusiastic about this matter, so enthusiastic that she refused to live or die, and pointed to her watch and said that she would go down for a while.
I wanted to leave her alone and pull her up first. However, before I could make a move, this girl had already kicked the rhinestone. I didn't dare not follow, so I quickly chased after him.
In the twelfth minute, I felt a lot of water pressure and it was a bit difficult to dive. At this point, I don't even know how deep it is, and my body feels uncomfortable.
But Yu Qian was just like unconsciously, still desperately going downstream, to be honest, I was a little worried.
It didn't take long for me to feel another push under a strong pressure. That's right, it's a directional driving force. And as the depth of the dive increases, this force grows stronger.
At this point, I also understand the fact that this waterhole is almost to the end, but this bottom must not be lowered. Because, this bottom is the bottom of a Yin River, if you want to touch the bottom of the water, it will definitely be washed away by the flow of the Yin River.
In other words, this waterhole is actually a cave that connects to the underground Yin River. It doesn't matter if you are in the upper part of the pool, if you want to reach the lower part, you will encounter a push current. And if you get into this current, you will be lost in the underground Yin River, and you may die in it. After all, there are not many caves like this one that connect to the Yin River, and it is not easy to take a breath in the Yin River.
After I understood this fact, I grabbed Yu Qian without thinking about it, she was like a second fool, looking at me and looking at me, as if she didn't know why I dragged her.
And what I don't understand is that this girl is obviously as thin as a toothpick, why does she have so much strength to sneak here and still have the strength to go down?
I made a blind gesture, and then grabbed her upstream whether she wanted to or not. Fortunately, this girl didn't resist and followed me obediently.
After diving for so long, I'm actually a little tired. I thought Yu Qian didn't feel it, but who knew that she was the same, she took the initiative to move closer to the rock wall, grabbed the rock and walked up. Swimming by holding on to the rocks saves effort, and so do I.
I don't know how to do it, I think it's more laborious to go up than down, and my hands and feet are a little soft. And Yu Qian, I glanced back at her, her hands and feet were not very flexible, and she seemed to be gritting her teeth to support her. However, we don't know how high the water will be.
Seeing that she was struggling more than me, I reached out to her and tried to pull her away. She didn't refuse, and stretched out her hand. The moment I grabbed her hand, I felt a biting stream of ice, and this girl's body temperature dropped so much!
This is absolutely not going to work, and we must go ashore as soon as possible. So, with my other hand, I climbed the rocks at a faster pace, and my feet stepped up to pedal the water. And this girl is good, after being pulled by me, her whole body doesn't move, and the whole body is like a wooden fish, relying on me to pull away. It's a lot of work for me.
I thought that she was already out of strength and had no strength to swim, so I didn't blame her, just struggled to swim.
But at this moment, the oxygen cylinder in his mouth suddenly made a ticking buzz. I looked, this is good, the oxygen flashed a red light, the alarm was called, and the oxygen level was very low.
Seeing my oxygen become like this, I subconsciously glanced at the oxygen in Yu Qian's mouth. I was taken aback by this look. Her oxygen warning light is always red, which means that she has no oxygen.
No wonder her hands are so cold, no wonder she doesn't swim. I was so frightened that I ripped off my oxygen and stuffed it into her mouth.
But before she could bite the oxygen mouth, my climbing hand was already empty, and I slanted with the empty hand, and plunged into a cave.
It is an underwater sideways cave, just above the rock face. Touching this place, I instantly understood that we had found it.
At that moment, I pulled Yu Qian and hurriedly swam towards the depths of the cave. Because I was holding my breath, I was working very hard.
The cave was diagonally upward, but not deep, and I just kicked the water a few times before my head came out. By the light of my headlamp, I saw that there was another cave in the place where I was headed, and the place in front of me was the shore.
I pulled Yu Qian ashore, and as soon as I got ashore, Yu Qian lay on the rocks, spitting water recklessly. Fortunately, she was still awake, and it was estimated that the drowning time was very, very short.
"I almost died, but it's okay...... OK! After spitting a few mouthfuls of water, Yu Qian patted her chest and gasped at me.
I was so angry that I threw away the empty oxygen cylinder and said angrily, "You must obey my orders in the future, or I will never take you out again!" β
Yu Qian looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you in the future, and I will listen to you in everything." Call me to the toilet, I definitely don't eat! β
"What's the mess? All I need is for you to follow the command when you follow me, Grandma! I said helplessly, and then sat down next to her to rest.
"Is this the burial place of the main coffin? How does this direction feel like ......" Putting aside the topic, Yu Qian turned on the light and shone around.
"That's right, this should be the location of the main coffin, and this is the bottom of the suppressed coffin. However, what surprised me was, how could this pool not be flooded? It's still below the water level! I shone my flashlight on the water beneath my feet, confused.
I distinctly remember that we had not yet reached the shore at all, and above our heads, there was at least a dozen meters of water at a depth of about ten meters. Also, when I swam sideways, I didn't swim far. So, it stands to reason that this place must also be in a flooded state. But now it's an empty cave.
Just as I was studying this doubt, Yu Qian suddenly called out to me: "Look there!" What is that? β
As soon as I turned around, I saw Yu Qian holding a flashlight in front of me. Directly ahead, only three or four paces away from us, a huge white carved wall stood.
"What a big wall! What does this do? Yu Qian got up, walked to the wall, and touched her hand directly.
I couldn't help but sneer and said, "Miss Yu, you are also a person who was born in the Department of Archaeology and has seen real ancient tombs. But how did you end up here like a big idiot? Is this a wall? It's a tomb door! β
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then shone the flashlight up, as if she wanted to see what was going on.
Following her flashlight, I also saw the whole picture of this tomb door. This door is very large and leads to the top of the cave.
Thus I also officially saw the exaggeration of this cave, although this cave is not big, but it is terrifyingly high, it is about ten meters high, which is almost the location of the suppression coffin above.
And this tomb gate is as high as this cave.
"It's made from a single piece of stone! I've never seen this kind of tomb door, let alone see it, I've never heard of it! β
When I passed, Yu Qian touched the door of the tomb with her hand, looking at this huge door with emotion.
When I looked closely, I couldn't help but sigh, this door is indeed a miracle. Not only is the whole stone grinded, but also the entire faΓ§ade is carved with rune lattices, which is so delicate that even modern mechanical processing and carving may not be able to get out.
Yu Qian looked at the gate dementia, I found that her mood was a little wrong, I just wanted to ask her what was wrong, I heard her suddenly say: "I have been archaeology for so many years, and I have studied for so many years, I never thought that the ancient tomb could exist in this form, let alone that a tomb door would be so exquisite!" I can't even imagine what the coffin of the tomb owner looks like in the burial chamber behind the tomb door, which simply breaks my worldview! β
After listening to her, I wanted to comfort her, and wanted to say that the world is so big that the ultimate wisdom of the ancients is unimaginable. But unexpectedly, this thing suddenly opened its arms, hugged me fiercely, and then smacked me in the face.
Then he said to me in a cry of joy: "I knew it was right to follow you!" That's what I've heard from you since I was a kid! β
Well, listening to her, I kind of know how what I said to her when I was a kid affected her. This whole thing is poisoning her! Alas! I have sinned so much!
Pulling her hand away, I said, "Let's get down to business, now that the tomb door has been found, we have to think about how to get in." β
Hearing me say this, Yu Qian also immediately entered the state, she said: "The ancient mausoleum door is the only entrance of the mausoleum, the coffin, and the burial goods can only enter through the tomb door. Therefore, the tomb door is very important, and therefore the anti-theft measures of the tomb door are very rigorous. β
I know all of what she said, and there's nothing wrong with that. I nodded and continued to listen to her.
As she spoke, Yu Qian walked to the middle of the tomb door, touching the pure white stone door with her hand, as if she was looking for something. However, she still said: "There is usually a locking mechanism behind the tomb door, which is triggered when the tomb door is closed, locking the tomb door so that it can no longer be opened. There are two common types of this kind of locking mechanism, one is the door sealing stone, that is, it will automatically fall off when the door is closed, stuck behind the door, and lock the door. This one is similar to a latch. β
"And the other is the top door stone. The top door stone is strip-shaped and spherical. The pillar-shaped similar lever will have a top groove behind the door, and there will also be one on the ground, and the top door stone will be stuck in these two grooves, stuck in the tomb door. And spherical, there will be an arc-shaped track, when the door is closed, the spherical top door stone will roll down along the track against the door foot, and there is an arc groove at the foot of the door, just let the spherical top door stone fall into, so that it can no longer roll, so as to achieve the effect of the dead tomb door. β
"Of these ways to lock the door, several strip-shaped top door stones are the most difficult to open, because it is locked at both ends, and if you want to open it, you can only destroy the door. But if you want to break a door like this, you have to use explosives, right? β
After listening to her introduction, I just nodded. What she said was a conventional anti-theft device, not even a mechanism. If you want to open these mechanisms, not to mention professional tomb robbers, even ordinary farmers can think of a way, and they don't even need to destroy the tomb door.
Of course, professional tomb robbers don't have time to open the door, they usually dig a hole directly. With their expertise, it is not difficult to hit a hole directly into the main coffin.
I'm not going to do that, though. Digging a hole is harder for me than opening a door. After all, I'm not a professional either.
When I heard Yu Qian say that the door was blown open, I couldn't help but laugh. This laugh made her unhappy, glared at me, and asked me what I was laughing at.
I didn't bother to pay attention to her, how could this kind of extremely secret tomb with suppressed coffins, and even a tomb with a fake Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palace Diagram, use that kind of pediatric anti-theft device? And with this tomb gate, there is no 100 catties of explosives, don't want to break out a stone.
Moreover, this is underwater, you dare to use explosives to try!
