Chapter 22: Searching for Clues
The four of them sat down on the floor of the tomb again, and after each of them gave out a cigarette, Feng Laonong said, "Luo Jie is right, we can only fiddle with this mechanism if the four of us are in this tomb." And every time it is placed, let one person run out to see if the mechanism is triggered. After speaking, Old Farmer Feng smiled at us.
This kid doesn't smile, I don't know if he has no confidence in his heart or has other plans.
"Isn't that too much work? Thousands of ways to swing, that is, to run out thousands of times. If you're unlucky, isn't it the mechanism of the wine glass and bowl? I'm afraid that if the mechanism is not put out, we will starve to death here," Yang Kexing said to us with a frown.
That's the truth. From the burial chamber to the corner of the cemetery, there are thousands of trips back and forth. The four people can barely stand it by running in turns, but it takes so much physical strength. And there is not much food to prepare, so if you don't succeed in doing this, you will be a beneficiary.
Without waiting for Yang Ke to finish speaking, Feng Lao Nong turned on his flashlight and looked at the stone table with jade bowls beside him. I saw him take a flashlight and look up and down at the kung fu of a cigarette, push a stone with his hand, and smash the stone with his hand. It took a while. I couldn't understand what Feng Lao Nong wanted to do, so I asked him. Feng Laonong replied: "The triggering of this mechanism is exquisite. You see, in the grave road we just had, it was the stone slab under the feet that people stepped on to trigger the mechanism. There are also those tipping traps and crossbow traps, which can only be triggered by gravity. No matter how accurate the ancient technology is, it is impossible to trigger the mechanism with a weight of three or two catties, right? I just saw that this stone bowl and stone wine glass weighs only a few catties at most, and this stone table should be solid, weighing tens of thousands of catties. Think about it, tens of thousands of pounds of things can't be triggered when they are pressed on the mechanism, and a few pounds of things can be triggered by putting a few pounds of things on it? Besides, we put these bowls and cups on this stone table, and if it was triggered by gravity, we would have triggered it when we went to the tomb just now. "
"What if it's too heavy or uneven to trigger the mechanism?" Yang Kexing asked.
"Not that possibility. This stone table weighs tens of thousands of pounds, and putting heavy things on it is like an ant crawling on a person, and it doesn't feel anything. Ancient mechanisms would not have been so sophisticated. Even modern technology can't make such a mechanism," Feng Lao Nong smiled, "We can only think about this from other places."
"That's Feng Laonong, you smashed the stone man's hand, so we can't get out!" I muttered.
"Alas, brother, which pot didn't you open yesterday?" Feng Lao Nong rolled his eyes at me, "You have a long brain, want to be white?" We had already triggered the trap before I smashed the stone man, and we couldn't find our way out. "
"Could the mechanism for going out be on this stone man?" I said.
"Rub! You've been targeting me! Feng Lao Nong was a little excited. He didn't contradict me, and looked at the stone man with a flashlight. We also stretched out our heads to look at the stone man with his severed hand. After a while, Feng Laonong put the flashlight on the ground and squatted down. Then he held the stone man's legs with both hands and stood up with a bang. Damn, I didn't expect that stone man to stand up with Old Farmer Feng.
Feng Lao Nong threw the stone figure aside and beckoned us to come closer.
I saw that a square hole appeared in the original position of the stone man, and the flashlight shone away. I saw that the hole was about 20 centimeters wide and narrow, and the depth was only about 20 centimeters. The bottom of the cave is the same as the bricks of the burial chamber. Looking at the stone man, there was a protruding square stone block at the bottom. It turns out that this stone figure was placed here in this way. A yang groove was carved under the stone man, and a yin groove was carved in the tomb. Yin and Yang are connected, and they are fixed there.
At this time, Feng Laonong picked up a steel pipe and smashed it into the hole a few times. Found to be very hard and had a dull voice. It sounds like the underside should be solid and very thick.
After finishing it, Feng Laonong picked up the stone man again. Put the stone figure back in its original position. Then he swept the hand of the stone man who had smashed it down, and put it horizontally on the stone man. said: "It's not a mechanism, even if it's a mechanism, this hand is returned, and the weight is enough." "
No one answered Feng Laonong's words. I don't know what people think, I just know that I'm very worried.
Seeing that no one answered his words, Feng Laonong did not say anything. With a flashlight, he looked at the carved coffin. We also went around, hoping to find some clues here.
As usual, the lid of the coffin was opened and everything that could be removed was placed on the ground. Then after carefully looking at the bottom of the coffin, Feng Laonong picked up the steel pipe and smashed it towards the bottom of the coffin. But what I didn't expect was that at the moment when the steel pipe stretched in. The steel pipe slammed into the black stone in the coffin.
Feng Lao Nong almost jumped up. When he came back to his senses, he found that the steel pipe had already detached from his hand and was completely stained on the black stone.
"Damn, I'm scared to death," Feng Laonong scolded.
When we saw Feng Lao Nong beating the spirit, the three of us instinctively took a few steps back. Seeing that there was no danger, we gathered around again to see what was going on with the pipe.
