Chapter 346: Tap Stone

"I'll tell you the truth! In fact, the tomb of the ancestors is not allowed to enter, including the patriarch! So for so many years, except for the Immortal Gu, no one knew what secrets were inside? And the reason why the patriarch let us secretly enter the ancestral tomb this time is also to prepare for a battle to the death with the Zhuyan wizard! Zhu Qing looked at us and shook his head, and then told us the fact that no one had ever entered the tomb of the ancestors!

"It looks like this door should be blocked from the inside, and it can only be cracked with brute force!" After listening to Zhu Qing's story, I carefully observed the structure of the stone gate, but I only came up with a helpless reality. Ran Wen ???.? r?a?n?? e?n?`o?r?g?

"Plugged inside? Could it be a tap stone? On the contrary, it was Gao Jing beside him, who coldly proposed a new term that we had never heard of after listening to what I said.

"What's a tap stone?" I saw that Gao Jing was a little happy after talking about the tap stone, and I knew what trick she said about this tap stone!

"Well, let's see for yourself!" When Gao Jing saw me asking, she simply took out her broken book taken out of the tomb of the Xixia king, and then turned to the page about the tap stone, so that we could tell us while reading her.

After reading the diagram on the tree and Gao Jing's explanation, I realized that the principle of tap stone is actually very simple.

The ancients first made the upper and lower ends of the stone door shaft into a ball shape, and then carved out a groove with a protrusion on the surface in the same part of the door crack in the middle of the two stone doors, and then chiseled out a shallow groove in front and deep in the stone paved ground not far from the central axis of the door.

Before closing the stone door, people first put the stone strip with considerable width in the groove in the ground, and slowly lean forward to make it contact with the stone door. When people withdraw from the underground palace, the stone bar, with the help of its own inclined pressure and the "ball" action of the shaft end of the door shaft, automatically pushes the stone door to close, until its top falls into the convex groove of the stone door on both shoulders.

In this way, the door can be closed inside, many of the tombs are such a structure, the early tomb robbers did not understand this truth, and there are many who return in vain or forcibly break the door in front of this door.

"But although we know about the origin of the tap stone, we still can't crack it?" After knowing the principle of the stone, I began to look left and right, trying to find a way to crack the stone on the stone gate, but there was nothing on the stone gate, so we still couldn't open the door.

"Who said it couldn't be helped! Haven't you heard of the Vientiane Hook? That's specifically designed for tap stone! In this regard, Gao Jing, who is well aware of the mystery of the tap stone, suddenly put forward a different opinion, and said another new term that we have never heard of, "Vientiane hook".

The Vientiane hook mentioned here is not the kind of hook commonly used in our lives, but a hook specially designed by ancient tomb robbers in order to open the tap stone behind the door of the tomb! It is said that this Vientiane hook can hook the stone behind the door after it reaches through the crack in the door of the tomb, and then move the stone away little by little. In this case, the stone gate will be opened!

After Gao Jing explained the role of the Vientiane Hook to us, he no longer delayed his efforts, but took off the Taosha Yue he was carrying, and one end of the Taosha Yue happened to be a hook!

I don't know if the person who designed the sand pride designed it like this to open the tap stone? But obviously, Gao Jing easily poked the sand hunt into the crack of the stone door, and then after a while, the stone door opened a crack, revealing a whole long stone standing behind the door. In the end, with the joint efforts of several of us, the tap stone fell down with a bang, and the stone door also opened!

"Ahh

It's just that when we saw the situation behind the door, we were suddenly surprised! Even Zhu Qing exclaimed abruptly.

We didn't expect that there would be a cave behind the stone gate, a huge tomb! Holes have been dug into the cliff walls around the tomb, and countless coffins are placed in the holes.

What surprised us even more was not the coffin inlaid on the cliff wall, but a large coffin that occupied most of the tomb in the burial chamber, the coffin was made of stone, and it looked like it was carved out of a whole large stone, larger than a football field! And in front of the coffin, there was actually a man with a cloak and a disheveled head!

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't mistaken! In front of the huge coffin was indeed a living person, and it was a woman with a disheveled head! She had her back to us, her hands and feet locked with chains that ran through the entire tomb, as if an unborn demon had been locked up!

"That's a dead man, isn't it?" Zhu Qing was stunned by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but lean closer to Hu Yifei's side, pointing to the man with his cloak in front of the coffin and asking Hu Yifei timidly.

"It should be!" Hu Yifei saw that Zhu Qing was frightened, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart, so he glanced at me, and then whispered to Zhu Qing.

I saw Hu Yifei take a look at me, and immediately knew his concerns! Because the man who was chained didn't really look like a dead man in our eyes! According to our estimates, no one has been in the tomb of the Ancestors for at least a few decades; If she was really a dead person, the hair on her head and the flesh on her body would have turned into dry bones a long time ago; But I could clearly see that her hand, which was chained, was not a dry bone, but as smooth as jade.

How could such a situation occur in an underground tomb that no one had entered for decades? Therefore, the person I met in front of me was obviously either a ghost or a demon, and he was not necessarily dead! Of course, the reason why Hu Yifei said that to Zhuqing was just to comfort others!

"Let's go in first!"

Seeing Hu Yifei and Gao Jing, as well as Zhu Qing and Zhu Mu, all looking at me blankly, I knew that they were frightened by the person standing in front of them; But since you've come here, how can there be any reason to go back? Therefore, I took the lead in entering the stone gate with a wave of my hand, Gao Jing followed, and Hu Yifei followed behind with Zhuqing and Zhumu.

"Boom!"

It turns out that we still came in too recklessly! Because just after we entered the stone gate, the stone gate behind us, which was originally wide open, suddenly made a deafening loud noise, and then closed itself under the noses of several of us! (To be continued.) )
