Chapter 523: Xuanwu Bricks

On the walls of the three burial chambers, there are two one-man high oil lamps, which are very simple oil lamps, and there is no depiction on them.

The entire burial chamber is not to mention the main burial chamber, and it can't even be talked about an ear chamber, and the specifications of a random earthen pond dug in Guanzhong are higher than here, so I definitely don't believe it if you want to say that this is the main burial chamber.

And right in front of me was a group of densely packed tiles, each thirty centimeters long and wide, all square, and the one at the bottom was obviously a little bit of manual prying.

When I walked up to this tile, I took a flashlight and began to feel it carefully, but after touching it for most of the day, my hand was almost swollen, and I didn't feel anything unusual about that tile.

So I looked at the old man, this old guy should stand up at this time, but looking at his face, he has been looking down at me to make trouble, but he has no intention of making his own move.

I'm a little skeptical that I'm wrong, and although there are signs of prying on the tiles, I don't know how old they look, and it may have been made by craftsmen at the time when the tomb was built.

These tiles add up to a total of more than a dozen, if there is any mechanism in this ancient tomb, it must be here, and only here is a place that can move, but all traps and the like, if you want to trigger, you must have an initial guidance, that is, a process of exerting force, without this process, the mechanism is impossible to touch, this process can be very small, but it must be.

After careful probing just now, I couldn't help but trigger the mechanism.

"This is a mechanism that opens from the inside out, and once it is closed, it can only be pried open from the outside, and there is no other way." The old man finally spoke.

"Since it's an organ, there should be a place to open it if it's kept, why can't it be opened when this is closed?" I withdrew my right hand from the tile and asked with some confusion.

"It's a mechanism that has been used many times, but this is different, it's all over after one use, and I don't plan to let people go in or out again, you've seen some cages in the countryside that catch mice, and the principle of this mechanism is similar to that, so it can only be pried open, and there are some prie marks from the predecessors on it, but it seems that they haven't opened it." The gelding continued.

The fat man was immediately unhappy when he heard this, looked at the old man and pouted and said, "Listen to what you mean, we are entering the secret room designed by our predecessors, and we didn't plan to let us out?" ”

The eunuch nodded: "Now it seems to be the case, this is a suspicious grave, the coffin just now is fooling, there are two possibilities, one is that the back of this mechanism is connected to the real main tomb, and the other is that we are going back, to the location of the fork in the road, go to the other two sides to see." ”

When the eunuch said that fork in the road, I couldn't help but think of those headless monkeys, and now I think back a little numb, anyway, I don't really want to go back, so I can only hope that after I get this mechanism open, it will be the road to the main tomb.

"Then get this broken mechanism out of the way first, I have long seen that it is not pleasing to the eye, so let's make way for the fat man and me, and smash it in." The fat man was carrying a black mallet and was ready to do it directly.

Now we don't have a better way, but we thought of using explosives directly, but this burial chamber doesn't feel so strong, if it blows up all at once, then we won't have a place to run.

The fat man smacked, and directly picked up the black mallet and smashed it on one of the tiles, but I didn't expect it at all, the fat man and the miraculous black mallet, when they smashed on those tiles, they only knocked down a small piece of gravel, and they didn't cause any destructive scenes at all.

You must know that the fat man's black mallet is smashed down at once, but even the black gold can move, but this tile that doesn't seem to explain much actually only drops a small piece down, and the hardness of this tile is a little scary.

"I wiped it, why is this brick so hard, what is it made of?" The fat man rubbed his arm and said, going up so suddenly, the shock force must be not small, this is completely unexpected, the fat man is naturally unprepared, fortunately, this thing is also a bone surprise, if I change it, it is estimated that I will be dislocated directly.

I looked at the gap that was smashed open by the fat man with some surprise, and then I reached out and touched it, and then put it on the tip of my nose and smelled it, and immediately I couldn't help but shake my head, this looks like a ceramic tile thing, it's really not an ordinary tile, I know this thing, it was recorded in the book, there was no use of this in ancient buildings, the cost was too expensive, not so much a brick, but a big iron slag.

This kind of brick is called basalt brick, and most of the people who mastered the alchemy technology in ancient times were Taoist priests for the purpose of refining pills, but there are some natural refining things in nature, that is, the residue of volcanic eruptions, and the stones formed after condensation.

From more than 20 million years ago, the volcanic activity in China is very frequent, and Changbai Mountain is the largest layered compound volcano in China, not far from here, it is a distance of several hundred kilometers, although it is a very long distance in ancient times, but in modern times, it is only five or six hours to drive.

This basalt brick, the eight achievements are dug out at the foot of Changbai Mountain, this kind of basalt brick, the most difficult thing is to polish, if the diamond is placed before the thirteenth century, that is, the fast and transparent stone, in addition to looking good, there is no practical value, stay on the body are all rough stones, can not be polished at all, and no one to figure out how to get it, because it can't be made at all, that is, I know that this thing is hard, but the more mysterious thing is that although it is such an era, a small piece of rough stone without polishing can directly cause war, Is this kind of thing that can capture people's hearts at birth really as simple as a stone?

If you think about it, you may be able to think of many things that subvert your worldview......

But then again, ordinary people may not be able to touch this kind of thing in their lives, so they can only go to the window of a jewelry store to enjoy it.

Diamonds from ancient times, conceived in the interior of the earth, hide too many secrets in themselves.

Speaking of this kind of basalt brick, in that era, it takes a very long time to polish a piece of solidified volcanic slag into a boxy brick, so the value of basalt bricks at that time is reflected, and the value of a brick the size of a palm is enough for an ordinary family's annual expenses.

I'm sure this thing can't be smashed now, it's like that wall of black and gold, and if we want to break it, it will take at least two or three days, and obviously, we don't have that much time for this kind of thing.
