As we all know, the mechanism is a representative work of ancient scientific and technological civilization, mainly used in military production, and can truly reflect the ultimate use of the mechanism, but also belongs to the mausoleum anti-theft mechanism of the ruling class.

The custom of thick burial in China has a long history, and the princes and generals of the past dynasties have spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on the construction of their mausoleums, which is a manifestation of feudal imperial power, and in order to prevent the tombs from being stolen and excavated, the mechanism has become the most important defensive force in the mausoleum.

Among the mausoleum mechanisms, crossbow arrows are the most common one.

But if the ancient tomb has been hidden underground for thousands of years, will these arrows or crossbows not rust and rot and lose their original power? No matter how superb the ancient metal forging technique was, it was unlikely that a famous weapon like the cadre Mo Xie would be made in large quantities, right?

Jun Youyao pinched the end of the crossbow arrow, carefully observed the arrow in his hand, the whole arrow is 60 cm long, in addition to the tail part of the arrow, the arrow shaft is made of common bamboo and wood, the arrow cluster is silver, it should be forged in stainless steel, the arrow cluster is elongated, there are three-edged edges, there are sharp edges, and the collar is lower, this arrow cluster style should be a three-edged arrow cluster, a type of arrow cluster with the strongest applicability.

She took a closer look at the cluster and found that the surface of the cluster was coated with a shallow dark film similar to oil wax, which was not noticeable, but it would reflect when the light was illuminated.

"Could this be ......" Her brows furrowed unconsciously, and her expression was a little more solemn.

Gu Lihan, who was almost inseparable from her, had also discovered the problem, "It seems that there is more than one problem with this Lianci Tomb, and we underestimated it before." ”

"Two, is there anything wrong with this arrow?"

Since Gu Lihan rescued Xue Lizhen, the eyes of the others have never left the two of them, and when they heard the brief but rich conversation between the two, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy again.

Jun Youyao didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained, "If my judgment is not wrong, these arrows should have been replaced recently." ”

"Huh?"

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was shocked, with an expression on their faces that you are afraid that you are not lightly ill.

Jun Youyao put the arrow in his hand flat and placed it in front of them, "You first look at this arrow shaft, made of bamboo and wood, the surface is smooth and barbless and mildew, not to mention whether the bamboo and wood will rot after a thousand years, but it is absolutely impossible not to get moldy; Look at this arrow feather again, the problem is even greater, it is actually an industrial synthetic material, can there be this thing in ancient times? The last is the arrow cluster, made of fine iron, the forging process is extremely exquisite, I have compared, all the arrow clusters on this ground are almost exactly the same specifications, no matter how powerful the ancient blacksmith is, it is difficult to do hundreds of arrows to make the same, only the mass production of modern mechanical casting molds is possible. ”

"And most importantly, the surface of this arrow is coated with poison, although I don't know what poison it is, but it is certainly a poison that seals the throat with blood. Poison is also a kind of medicine, whether it is liquid or solid, it will be gradually volatilized when exposed to air, and after more than a thousand years, no matter what poison is still intact. ”

As she spoke, she pointed the light at the cluster of arrows so that everyone could see the dark light on the surface.

"And according to the experience of the Ninth Master and Grandfather, this tomb should have been visited by other tomb robbers a long time ago, and even took the lives of many people, but we haven't seen a single skeleton along the way, what does this mean?"

She paused, her eyes sweeping over the crowd.

Li Xiaoran said anxiously: "It means that someone may have cleaned here?" "Then his grandfather's body probably doesn't know where it is for a long time.

Jun Youyao bowed, "This is one of the possibilities, and the other is ...... The tomb was bigger and more complicated than we thought, not complex enough for the tomb robbers to walk through the entire tomb. ”

Therefore, she is definitely not untargeted, she is at least 95% sure that this tomb is not simple, and it is very likely that this is not a dead tomb at all.

After listening to her words, the first to react was He Wenhao, who also carefully picked up an arrow from the ground, and soon exhaled, "Miss Han is right, this arrow was indeed created in recent years, and it is not an antiquity at all." ”

Touching the bypass, jade antiques are not separated, he is somewhat accomplished in antique identification, otherwise Xuan Chengzi would not have agreed to walk with him.

“…… How so? ”

Li Jiu looked at the arrows all over the ground with a little stupidity, "Could it be that there are still people living in this tomb?" It's not the tomb of the living dead of the little dragon girl, hahaha. ”

He laughed dryly, but no one responded, for no one was in the mood to take it as a joke.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere grew heavier.

"Who are you?" In the stagnant air, Xuan Chengzi's voice shook out a little abruptly and reached everyone's ears.

The smile he had been hanging on his face had disappeared, and the look of vigilance in his eyes was very obvious.

The object of his questioning could undoubtedly only be Gu Lihan and Jun Youyao.

Gu Lihan raised his eyes to look at him, and asked indifferently, "Who does the Daoist think we are?" ”

"You have a ruthless temperament and are unapproachable, and you carry a gun with you, and your skills are very much more than human, and she," he said, pointing to Jun Youyao, "she has a decisive and calm personality, and she is intelligent and astonishingly observant......"

Xuan Chengzi looked at the two of them and asked his suspicions, "Are you undercover agents sent by the police?" After seeing Gu Lihan's amazing skills, he had been suspicious of them.

As soon as he said this, Li Jiu and the others were simply shocked, staring at them and shooting them up and down, like machine guns.

……

"I didn't expect you to have a lot of imagination, Dao Chief." Jun Youyao wanted to applaud him, although it was a reasonable guess, her performance along the way with Ben Ben was indeed a little different, but the police undercover? Is it just to catch them grave robbers? Phishing law enforcement?

Tomb robbery is indeed an illegal activity prohibited by the state, and with the improvement of relevant policies in recent years, it has gradually increased the intensity of cracking down on tomb robbery, but the situation in Tibetan areas is somewhat special, and the policy is still very relaxed.

Gu Lihan unceremoniously turned on the mockery mode: "The Taoist leader even dares to rob the tomb with the eldest lady of the Xue family, is he so fearless, will he be afraid of one or two little policemen?" ”

That's right, you dare to take the Xue family to the tomb, don't you all show that you are fearless? So what are you wary of? No matter how powerful the police are, they can't be as powerful as the Xue family.

Li Jiu and the others inexplicably had a feeling of enlightenment.

Xue Lizhen also observed her words and feelings, knowing that Gu Lihan's words would make her be regarded as a thorn in her side, so she hurriedly raised her hand and made an oath, "Miss Ben promises not to tell anyone what she has seen and heard here, including my father, if she violates this oath, she will be thundered by the sky, and she will ...... Become the ugliest ugly girl! ”

After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Qi Jiarui's sleeve again, and motioned for him and Xia Lian to swear to express their attitude, otherwise they would likely be killed by this group of people.

Apparently she's overdone it.

Qi Jiarui and Xia Lian immediately swore a poisonous oath.

Xuan Chengzi nodded with satisfaction, "No hindrance, no hindrance, Lao Dao naturally believes in Miss Xue." ”

After the poisonous oath was made, you said that you believed them, why did you go earlier!

Xue Lizhen, who was 'forced' to swear a poisonous oath, couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied with the old Taoist priest who blew the cowhide into the sky, and swore that he would protect herself before leaving, but when she was in danger, she didn't see him make the slightest move, but Ye Zhiqiu, who she had always looked down on, saved her regardless of the danger.

Sure enough, a man's mouth is the most unreliable.

When she thought of this, she didn't forget to glare at Qi Jiarui beside her, hmph, he is also a waste who only has good kung fu, and he will break up when he goes back!

Gu Lihan glanced at Xue Lizhen, who thought he was quietly squeezing beside him, his handsome eyebrows twitched, and he moved his lips to drive people away, but in the end he didn't speak.

Forget it, you can't deal with this kind of fool whose IQ can only barely be on par with the second egg.

Of course, Jun Youyao also noticed Xue Lizhen's approach, and felt a little funny in her heart.

"Don't worry, we're not cops." After she left these words, she no longer paid attention to Xuan Chengzi, but said to Li Jiu and them, "Ninth Master, the danger of this tomb is beyond your control, for the sake of safety, I suggest that you better return the same way, don't lose your life and the lives of your brothers for something outside your body, think about your newborn child." ”

Li Jiu was silent, he knew in his heart that Jun Youyao was for their good, but was he willing to go back like this?

He looked back at Li Xiaoran and Chen Tang, and thought of his grandfather's last words, his nature was simple, and he didn't think about it for long before making a decision, "Okay, let's quit." ”

Jun Youyao nodded, and then looked at Xue Lizhen who was hiding behind Gu Lihan, "Since this is the case, then I have to trouble the Ninth Master to help take Miss Xue and them out, their survival rate here is infinitely close to zero." ”

"Miss Xue, are you okay?" This time, Jun Youyao's attitude was a little tough, she didn't want Gu Lihan to hurt herself because of Xue Lizhen.

Xue Lizhen, who had just walked through the Ghost Gate, glanced at Gu Lihan secretly, and after being directly ignored by him, he nodded reluctantly.

Since she nodded, Qi Jiarui and Xia Lian naturally had no room to refute.

As for what Xuan Chengzi and the three of them planned, she didn't care.

But He Wenhao took the initiative to speak, "Then I'...... Let's go back with the Ninth Master. ”

If it was just dangerous, He Wenhao would definitely not be willing to return empty-handed, but if he knew that this tomb might have been swept by someone and there was no treasure, then what was he doing here?

It's not that I think my life is too long.

The matter was settled, no one had any objections, except for Xuan Chengzi and Jun Youyao, the others immediately returned the same way.

But apparently they still underestimated the danger of this princess tomb, and when several people turned to walk back and forth, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and for a moment it was like the ground shaking like a mountain......
