Chapter 7: The Secret Passage of the Ancient Tomb
The group slowly fell to the bottom of the cave, except for one person......
Granny Qian's gravity change was effective for everyone else, but when she touched Shi Tao, she became a squib. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This guy's stamina is not only in terms of taking damage, but also immune to almost all ailments, whether beneficial or harmful.
Therefore, when everyone else was slowly falling like a feather, only Shi Tao, like a big lead ball, carrying a heavy package, smashed down with a bang, and cracked the bluestone ground of the mausoleum, which made Professor Zhao feel distressed: "This is an antiquity of the pre-Qin Dynasty, all of which are national treasures, you be careful!" ”
Because it is buried underground all the year round, the mausoleum is very well preserved, and the various decorations, structures, and inscriptions in the tomb are quite well preserved.
"It seems that the report is right...... "After walking around the tomb, Zhao Jingyuan said: "Compared to the Wei Tombs of other Qi monarchs, this place is indeed too shabby......
"Is it a gap in specifications?" Jiang Yize asked with a flashlight.
"No......" Zhao Jingyuan shook his head: "Judging from the specifications, there is no doubt that this is a monarch-level Weiling!" But whether it is the carving on the wall, the polishing of the stone, or the carving of the inscription, it all looks very rough! As he spoke, Professor Zhao raised his hand and touched a bluestone wall brick: "For example, here, the brick surface has obvious concave and convex, and there is an obvious size gap between the two adjacent green bricks, even if it is a civilian building a house, they will try to choose bricks of the same size, let alone the king of a country......
"And here!" One of Professor Zhao's students, Liu Yi, a boy with glasses, pointed to a stone tablet and said: "The inscription here is slightly scribbled, and look at the format, the end has not been engraved yet...... said, he turned back to the tall student on the side and asked: "Er Fengming, you are better than me in ancient characters, can you read the meaning of this inscription?" ”
"Don't embarrass me......" Er Fengming scratched his head and said: "During the Warring States Period, the characters were not uniform, and there were even dozens of ways to write the same character, and it was the most difficult to identify ......" said that it was difficult, but this big boy who was regarded as a word expert by his classmates still tried to read.
"Here it is...... It seems that it is indeed Qi Yigong's Wei Mausoleum, the owner of the tomb seems to be a confidant of Qi Yigong, and the tombstone mentions his 'outstanding martial arts' and 'extraordinary bravery', but strangely, in historical records, Qi Yigong's subordinates do not seem to meet the famous generals...... The general Wu Fei died ten years earlier than Qi Yigong, it is impossible to be buried here, the mausoleum of the soldier king Zheng Ke has been determined, and it is impossible, so what is buried here......"
"I don't know these words, check... Spirit? It doesn't feel like a person's name......" Er Fengming laboriously explained.
"It's Jiong's sword!" Shi Tao leaned over and interpreted the obscure ancient monument of the pre-Qin Dynasty: "Jiong Jian, born in southern Xinjiang, obtained by a foreign prince in the south, has extraordinary bravery, is born with a strange skill, can burn a sword to kill, serve a strange father, go to a dangerous place and people can't get close, outstanding martial arts, get the favor of a foreign prince, have to be buried in Weiling, and follow each ......other for eternity."
The ancient monument that is difficult to identify even the doctors of archaeology, but Shi Tao read it out smoothly, and this hand really amazed everyone. Professor Zhao's master and apprentice were amazed again and again, and the eyes of other strangers looked at him a little differently.
"How did you meet?" Yin Shuang leaned over and said curiously.
Shi Tao smiled: "If you live long enough, you will naturally understand more things...... In short, the owner of this tomb is a strange man who is trusted by his father, but for some reason, he is not buried here. ”
"Jiong Jian ......" Zhao Jingyuan muttered: "The official history is not related to the record of this person, is it a figure buried in history." ”
"Maybe it's a bodyguard like an assassin or a killer, always doing some dirty work or something, which is inconvenient to record in history!" Liu Yi guessed, and posed as a sword-wielding pose, and Er Fengming on the side smiled: "You have read too many novels!" ”
"Stop making trouble!" Yu Sisi said: "Hurry up and find out if there is any information about the location!" Otherwise, the Rakshasas will come over in a while! ”
Hearing this, Shi Tao muttered, "I'm afraid they have already been here a week ago!" Bie Lihua on the side came over and said in a low voice: You just say a few words......
Several archaeologists began to investigate around, this kind of professional work, it is inconvenient for laymen to interfere, several high-level strangers find a place to rest and chat, only when physical work is needed, the old knife such a flesh-strengthened master will be useful.
But except for one person, Shi Tao put down the package, and also looked around the east of the mausoleum, tapping his fingers on the floor and wall tiles from time to time, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Hey, Shi Tao, what are you doing sneakily?" Yin Shuang leaned over and said curiously.
"Shhhh......h......h
Yin Shuang's head was full of black lines: "Do you really think this is a movie about tomb robbing...... Oh, forget you haven't seen a few movies...... You really think this is a tomb robbery novel! Still looking for a mechanism? How can there be such a mysterious thing, you will put a secret passage in the place where you sleep after you die, and let the ghost go! ”
Professor Zhao on the side also walked over and said with a smile: "It is true that some people install mechanisms in the mausoleum, but they are all to prevent the lethal mechanisms of tomb robbers, if a secret passage is installed, wouldn't it be convenient for tomb robbers, no one will do this kind of mechanism!" ”
The female doctor Yu Sisi also smiled: "And after more than two thousand years, even if there is a mechanism, it will definitely be old and unusable!" ”
"Yes, it seems that I have a whim......" Shi Tao admitted his mistake, but the movements of his hands did not stop, and after knocking on the floor next to the coffin a few times, he suddenly stood up and pushed open the heavy stone coffin lid!
The heavy sarcophagus lid made a piercing grinding sound, and Professor Zhao on the side exclaimed: "Don't move, it's all cultural heritage, oops, yes, yes......" But it was too late to stop, Shi Tao had already jumped into the coffin.
Jiang Yize frowned, and glanced at the old knife, who rushed forward with an arrow, intending to drag Shi Tao out.
But he had just rushed halfway through when suddenly there was a loud grinding sound from inside the coffin, which seemed to ...... What a mechanism it really touched!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and immediately ran to the coffin to look inside, where there was still Shi Tao's figure, and instead, it was a dark and bottomless tunnel!
"Actually...... Is there really a secret passage? Professor Zhao said incredulously: "How could it be, there is a secret passage under the coffin, I have never seen this kind of tomb design before, it doesn't make sense, could it be that the craftsman left it privately?" ”
Everyone was wondering, and suddenly Shi Tao's head came out of the dark tunnel.
"Hey, won't you come down and have a look?"
Professor Zhao was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly showed an excited look, and he was about to take the lead to go down, but was stopped by Yin Shuang: "Professor Zhao, let's test the oxygen concentration first, this kind of cave buried underground for a long time is easy to suffocate......"
Professor Zhao was stunned: "I naturally know this kind of common sense, but ......" He pointed to Shi Tao, meaning that he had all gone in, doesn't it mean that it's okay?
Yin Shuang sighed: "You can't use him as a reference...... Even if this guy is thrown to the bottom of the sea, he may not be able to die......"
Er Fengming took out a lighter and lit it and handed it to Shi Tao, and as soon as he took it down, it was extinguished in an instant. Sure enough, the air is not suitable for human breathing......
"It's okay, we still have a way!" Another student of Professor Zhao, wearing large-framed glasses and a grim look of science and engineering masculinity, opened his backpack and took out a portable camera and a pair of headphones from it: "Mr. Shi, you put on headphones, take this thing, go down to the cave to explore, and we will check the situation below through the camera!" ”
"Mr. Shi, turn the camera to the left...... Look at the top again...... The floor tiles under his feet ...... "Shi Tao sneaks in the tunnel, and the experts carefully observe the scene in the tunnel through voice remote control and infrared cameras.
After walking for about thirty or forty meters, Shi Tao stopped: "I can't walk......" said and poked the camera forward, and everyone saw that the tunnel in front of him had been filled with huge stones and broken bricks, and it had obviously collapsed and sealed.
"The stubble of the bricks looks very new...... Was it caused by the last earthquake? Zhao Jingyuan analyzed: "Okay, Mr. Shi, you can go back......"
"Anything you found? Is the tunnel really leading to the main mausoleum? Bei Lihua asked, and Professor Zhao shook his head: "It's just an ordinary tunnel, and the preliminary judgment is that it was indeed built in the same era as the tomb, but there is no useful information other than that......"
"Even if it doesn't lead to the main mausoleum, it must point to some important place!" Yin Shuang was a little excited: "Maybe I can find Qi Yigong's secret!" ”
"Indeed!" Professor Zhao also nodded: "Although this tunnel is simple, the meaning behind it is probably more than Weiling itself!" It's just ......" Speaking of this, Professor Zhao frowned: "The tunnel collapsed in the middle of the tunnel, and I can't confirm where it leads......"
"I'll leave this to me!" Bei Lihua smiled slightly, took a deep breath in the direction of the tunnel, and then suddenly opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.
Everyone else looked puzzled, looking at Bei Lihua with her mouth open and motionless, and they didn't know what she was doing.
After a few seconds, Bei Lihua closed his mouth and frowned: "The collapse section is dozens of meters long, after that, the tunnel continues to extend forward, I am not good at detecting here, we had better go to the ground to continue probing." ”
"Are you...... How do you know? Zhao Jingyuan was surprised, and Yin Shuang on the side smiled: "Sister Don't be a famous human sonar, nicknamed the glass bat, and she is a stranger who can emit ultrasound!" With her, detecting the ancient tomb is a trivial matter! ”
