Chapter 30: Stone Carvings
"Dangdang!"
"Dangdang!"
In the dark space of the tomb, every few seconds, there would be a sound of beating, and the flickering firelight illuminated the shadows of several people, who were busy in front of a sarcophagus.
"I said monkey, can you do it?" I stood beside the sarcophagus, looked at Hou Zifeng who was busy there, and asked helplessly.
At this time, Hou Zifeng, who was sweating profusely, took a small hammer and smashed an iron into the gap between the sarcophagus coffin and the coffin lid, but after a long time, there was no reaction at all.
"I want to be fast, but the problem is that I can't get in." Hou Zifeng said angrily, and after smashing hard a few times to no avail, he gave up and threw the small hammer aside.
"No, I'm tired, I'll rest." He gasped for breath and sat down directly tired.
"Is there no other way?" I turned my head to look at Zhang Huanqing and asked.
He shook his head and didn't speak.
Originally, we were quite smooth, and we were very excited to find the last main coffin, but we encountered a problem when we opened the coffin, and when we were about to open the coffin, we found that the sarcophagus was basically close to sealing, and there was no other place to start, but between the coffin body and the coffin lid, there was a not very wide gap, so I tried to pry the gap open.
But in the end, we failed. I didn't find any obvious mechanism in other places, and the current situation made me very upset.
"This can't be done, I've searched the entire tomb, and I haven't seen the original stone in the center of the earth, so it's hard to explain when I go back." Dad said helplessly.
"yes, if we can't find it, we're basically here for nothing." Hou Zifeng also sat there and sighed.
"Let's look for it, it's all here anyway, and it's not bad for those times." After I said a word, I got up and walked around, except for the five dragon coffins, that is, the big ding and the surrounding burial goods, except for these, where there is nothing to do, everything is basically clear at a glance, and nothing can escape our eyes at all.
After a round turn, I returned to the sarcophagus in a dejected manner, and I found no clues, which made me feel helpless.
After doing this for a while, I got up and found that Zhang Huanqing was staring at the sarcophagus in a daze.
"What's wrong? What to see that? I asked curiously.
He pointed to the carvings on the sarcophagus, "I always felt that there was something wrong with the carvings on it. ”
I look at the sarcophagus, the carvings on it are lifelike, if I feel that this is all a god, how can there be a problem?
I shook my head in confusion.
"You see, why do trees grow crookedly? Also, this strange beast, and the corpse of the strange beast next to it, one foot on the corpse is gone, but another strange beast has an extra foot on the body, why is there a piece missing from the middle line of the lake here. It all made me feel that something was wrong. Zhang Huanqing pointed to the carving on the sarcophagus and explained.
I looked at the place where he said, but there was something really wrong with those places, and I looked at it as a whole, and the picture I saw felt very complete, but if you only looked at it in detail, there were indeed a lot of things that were wrong.
I tried to reach out and touch the position of the foot of the strange beast that Zhang Huanqing said, and as soon as my hand touched it, I clearly felt that the extra place seemed to be able to be pressed.
I pressed lightly, only to find that the protruding place could really be pressed, after I pressed the extra foot on the alien beast's body, the position of the previous alien beast corpse that was missing a foot without a foot was slowly rising from below with a foot, just in perfect harmony with the missing position before.
This surprised me unusually much, "It works, it looks like the mechanism is on top of this sarcophagus." ”
Hou Zifeng on the side saw me and Zhang Huanqing talking and laughing, so he hurriedly got up, "What are you two doing?" ”
I gestured to the sarcophagus, "We've found the mechanism." ”
"There? Over there? He looked at me with some excitement and asked.
I told him where I had just clicked, "Now let's look for it, see which part of the image is problematic, and find it for me, so that it will be easier to find." ”
After finishing speaking, we began to carefully observe the sarcophagus, and said to Zhang Huanqing just now, the trees are crooked, and the missing part in the middle of the lake, these should be the same as the feet of the previous beast, but they have been changed to other positions, all the stone carvings, some are recessed, and some are protruding, these are the objects we have to look for carefully.
We have been carefully observing, in front of a river, I saw that in the middle of the river, there is a protruding place, the appearance should be similar to the missing piece of the lake before, I reached out and pressed that piece into it hard, when the brick looked at the lake, the middle piece of recessed position slowly rose, which proved that our conjecture was correct.
"Here, not right here." Hou Zifeng shouted a few times on the other side of the sarcophagus.
Zhang Huanqing and I ran over and looked at the place he was talking about, it was a small house, and there were several people in front of the house who were on salary, and one of them was missing a leg.
We searched carefully around the stone carving, and finally, on the side of the hill next to it, we found the stone carving with an extra and raised leg, and after pressing it, the person who was missing the retreat slowly became complete.
At first, the three of us were looking for it, until Zhang Man and Dad had rested enough, and they also came over to help, and the middle-aged man, who was responsible for taking care of the young man, turned his head to look at us from time to time.
In this way, the five of us searched for more than an hour before correcting all the stone carvings on the sarcophagus, and after carefully observing it several times to make sure that there was nothing missing, we all stopped, and then stared at the sarcophagus.
"Click!"
A small sound sounded from the sarcophagus, and we all looked at the sarcophagus vigilantly, for fear that something would happen above, and we did not dare to approach the sarcophagus until the sound was over.
"Yes, you see, the lid of the coffin has risen on its own." Daddy looked at the position between the coffin and the coffin lid, which seemed to have been lifted by someone inside, revealing a wide gap.
