Chapter 1055: The Art of Puppetry
The blind man's sudden words made everyone a little foggy, as if they understood, but they didn't seem to understand.
The blind man's language skills were very lacking, and after explaining a few more words, he finally got to the point, saying,
"What the old man means is that this wooden man, since he doesn't have any organs of his own, what is driving him to complete that series of bows and arrows just now! And who is manipulating his activities? ”
As soon as the blind man said this, Wu Yi's eyes widened instantly, and he somewhat understood what the blind man meant!
To put it bluntly, this wooden man is just a shelf for a firing mechanism, at best it is equivalent to a humanoid turret, but how he loads the cannonballs and how he launches the cannonballs, this series of things, relying on himself alone, can't do it at all!
If this wooden man had a large number of gears or a complicated mechanism for self-loading weapons, then all this would be very easy to explain, but this wooden man is just a pure wooden man, and he doesn't have those things on his body at all!
This shows that his act of drawing the bow and arrows just now was not done by the wooden man himself, but by an external force helping him!
Thinking of this, Wu Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart. Damn, won't you, do you...... The dead people buried in this resurrected tomb really came back from the dead? Or is it the souls of these dead people who are secretly manipulating the wooden man to carry out a series of actions?
Otherwise, how did he move this wooden man?
The fat man was still a little confused, and seeing that Wu Yi and the blind man were not good-looking, he said,
"I said you two are too fussy, what's so nervous, don't forget, this wooden man is hanging with a rope, if you want to say control, of course, those ropes are also controlling him!
I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run, don't you often show those shadow puppets and puppet shows on TV, if you want me to say, this wooden man Bacheng is a puppet-like character, at the other end of the rope, connected to the mechanism, as soon as the mechanism is running, the puppet's hands and feet begin to move. ”
The fat man may not really understand the meaning of the blind man's words, but his words are very appropriate, Wu Yi and the blind man are both stunned, puppets? Use the mechanism at the other end of the rope to manipulate the puppet's hands and feet to achieve the effect of releasing crossbow arrows? Is this a possibility?
It's very possible!
Although Wu Yi has never heard of such a terrifying method, it does not mean that there is none, if the owner of this tomb was a folk craftsman who was born in puppet shows during his lifetime, or when he built this ancient tomb, he found this kind of craftsman to come and give guidance, maybe he can really make this kind of unbelievable puppet mechanism!
When the puppet art came into being, this is still inconclusive, but the Song Dynasty must have existed a long time ago, because as early as in the Western Han Dynasty tomb in Yinxu in Anyang, Henan and Mawangdui in Changsha, many kinds of puppet products such as music puppets, singing and dancing puppets, craft puppets, and wooden music puppets have been unearthed.
These puppets are completely different from the terracotta warriors and horses that everyone is familiar with now, the terracotta warriors and horses are purely used for burial, and the puppet art was originally used as a way of sacrifice, and then gradually developed into performances.
The general view is that puppet art originated in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty, which shows that if there is a mechanism made of marionettes in this ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, it is also reasonable and not unacceptable.
The blind man thought about it for a while, nodded his head, and said,
"Master Wu, what the fat man said also makes some sense, there are no absolutes in everything, maybe there is such an organ."
The fat man shook his head and said,
"What does it mean to have some truth, it must be so! I was surprised by the fat man before, why did I hang all the things in this hall, but now I understand, you see that the things here are all hung in the air, isn't this the same as the stage background arranged when performing marionettes?
The main master buried here, when he was alive, was a fanatic of puppet stage plays, so after he died, he also got this set of things out of his own tomb, which was specially used by him to relieve his boredom in the tomb.
If that's the case, we don't have to worry about it, if we encounter this thing again, we will break all the ropes on his head first, so that there will be no danger at all.
The puppet has no string, it's a pile of rotten wood, and it can be used as a torch when lit, and no matter how bad it is, you can cook a meal or something! ”
The fat man's words are not rude, they are very reasonable, maybe it is really like what he said, the reason why the whole hall is arranged to be suspended in the air is that it is a stage for puppet tricks to perform to drive away visitors.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, so Wu Yi made a silent gesture to ask everyone not to speak first, while he listened carefully to the top of the hall to see if there was any sound of the gears turning.
Nine times out of ten, the thin line that controls the puppet is connected to the dome, and if there is a mechanism, the mechanism must be inside the dome, and it is impossible for it to run without any movement.
But unfortunately, Wu Yi listened to it for several minutes, and he didn't hear any unusual sounds, I don't know if it was because the mechanism happened to be stopped at this time, or because it was too far away from the dome to be heard at all.
The fat man wants to rush up and shoot a few shots, saying listen to a fart, this is not easy? That kind of mechanism must be involved in the whole body, it is a delicate whole, as long as one of the parts is destroyed, it is estimated that the whole will be paralyzed, and even if you encounter the puppet again, the puppet will not be able to jump up.
Wu Yi hurriedly stopped him and said,
"Don't do that, if there really is such a mechanism, the tomb owner will not really be so stupid and not take any precautions!
He's worked so hard to get such a huge and sophisticated mechanism, it definitely won't be so easy to destroy, if you shoot it, the dome collapses, or if there are things like dragon oil and quicksand mercury poison gas leaking out of it, then we're all going to be finished. ”
When the fat man heard the same truth, he put away the gun stupidly and said, "Okay, you are the team leader, Lao Tzu listens to you, but what do you say now, we can't be stupid here all the time, right?"
We still have to work to work, we have to find the passage to the tomb, and now the question is, how do we find it? If you want to find the grave, I'm afraid you'll have to go up again. ”
