The Wilderness Underground Palace Chapter 23 The Wisdom of the Ancients

The three of them were walking one after the other, all silently, and Mazi suddenly shouted in front: "Lao Xu, do you think there will be ghosts in this tomb?" ”

As soon as he said this, the roots of my teeth itched in anger, and after the fuck just finished talking about entering the tomb, don't mention the "ghost", he gave me a whole play, and I don't know if I am really confused or pretending to be confused!

Now that I had spoken it, I kicked him in the ass, and he was so startled that he threw the candle off his hand and extinguished the flame. www.biquge.info Asako may have reacted to the taboo just now, and understood why I kicked him, so he didn't look back to reason with me, but just bent down to pick up the extinguished candle and relight it.

Fearing that he had committed some taboo, Halbara did not say a word when he entered the tomb, but looked particularly embarrassed. I looked back and smiled: "Brother Harbara, don't be nervous, just come in here to visit, it's not a big deal, isn't the terracotta warriors and horses pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang also a cemetery, and now it has become a museum to visit?" ”

Wearing a gas mask, Halbara's voice became deeper, and he answered me: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, how can we men of the steppe be afraid of these things!" ”

It's not nervous, but between the lines, I can still feel that his breathing is a little disordered, and it should be the tension caused by the first time I went to the grave, but I'm just embarrassed to say it.

Mazi and I have experienced a lot of hardships and dangers before this, and there are countless strange things we have encountered, and now it is just a simple cemetery, which is like a child playing at home for the two of us, too child's play, and there is nothing worth worrying about and fearing.

I opened the conversation box just now, and the atmosphere was a lot more lively, the candle in Mazi's hand was about to burn out after being lit for so long, so I took out another one from the mouse suit and asked him to light it, and then continued to move on.

Mazi lowered his head and took out the lighter, clicked and clicked a few times, and it was regarded as lighting the fire. He took off his gas mask, held a candle to his face and asked, "Lao Xu, do you see that the pockmarks on my face are still obvious?" ”

I want to say that you haven't been cured, you must have thought about what you used to be! But for fear of hitting his self-confidence, he hurriedly smiled: "Hey, don't say it, your face is really fucking a lot smoother than before!" Keep it up, maybe someone will come to your house one day to propose! ”

Mazi was really happy to hear that her face was good-looking, and after putting the gas mask back, she shouted to Halbara, "Brother, have you married?" ”

Harbara didn't expect Mazi to ask him this question, and the answer was very abrupt, and only a sentence of "married" was considered a response.

Mazi thought that Halbara was reluctant to speak when he entered the tomb, so he turned the topic to me again: "Old Xu, you said that there will be no mechanism in this tomb, right?" I've heard before that there are many traps in that ancient tomb to prevent theft, and if you are not careful, it is easy to shoot the crossbow arrows into a sieve! ”

The ancients paid attention to the thick burial at the same time, but also took into account the risk of theft of the tomb, so the anti-theft methods they thought of were also strange, and the means were even more exhaustive!

Let's take it as an example, there are several kinds of anti-theft, either the design of the coffin, that is, the method used after the death of Cao Cao, after the death of Cao Mengde, there were many burial goods, and at that time it was a great chaos in the world, lest his body not be at peace after his death, so on the day of the funeral, the four doors were opened, and a total of seventy-two coffins were carried out through the four doors of the east, west, south and north, each coffin was completely identical, and was buried in different places, which led to the fact that the descendants of their own family could not find the tomb of this old guy.

Then there is an anti-theft method is to design various mechanisms, but like the crossbow arrows that Mazi said just now, it should be unlikely, because the ancient bows and crossbows are probably based on animal tendons, although some anti-corrosion measures will be done at the beginning, but after thousands of years of baptism, no matter how good anti-corrosion measures can not change the reality of crossbow arrow rotting, so the last thing to prevent when entering the tomb is the random arrows shot by these bows and crossbows.

In fact, the simplest anti-theft method is the best to use, although I am in the line of doing the inverted bucket, but in my eyes the most respected anti-theft method is the "boulder door" and "slate trap". The so-called boulder door sealing is when the tomb robber enters the ancient tomb, accidentally touches the mechanism, the exit of the tomb road will be sealed by the boulder weighing 10,000 catties designed before, once the boulder weighing 10,000 catties seals the exit, it is extremely difficult for the people inside to push the boulder open from the inside, and there is generally only one exit in the ancient tomb, after the road is blocked, if there is no way, you can only sit and wait for death, either starvation or oxygen exhaustion, suffocation and death.

Besides, this slate trap, the design is even more simple and casual but quite practical, what is a slate trap? At the beginning of the burial, dig a bottomless pit in the middle of the tomb road or burial chamber, and then fix a stone slab with an iron pestle in the middle, from the appearance of the trap is not at all different from other places, but when the tomb robber steps on the stone slab, the slate will roll to this side because of the gravity on one side, the rolling time is extremely fast, and the person above can not react, and it has fallen into the deep pit, and at this time the slate due to the same gravity on both sides, and returned to its original appearance, So that you can continue to use it in case of another thief.

I'm not worried about the boulder sealing door, we've been in for so long, if this ancient tomb has a boulder sealing door, it would have already sealed the exit of the tomb, so that we didn't react after coming in for so long, what I'm afraid of now is the stone trap, especially the pockmarked weight, once you step on this trap, you have to die for a lifetime. I saw that he was still walking swaggering with a candle, and quickly reminded: "Don't be a fucking hanger, pay attention to your step, don't fall into the trap, no one can save you!" ”

Mazi said: "No, we've encountered so many unlucky things before, this time we also sacrificed to the tomb owner, he has to sell us some face, even if he can't give us some treasure, he won't stay here with him, right?" ”

Generally speaking, I am even more worried, the most fearful of this kind of work is to relax carelessly, because it is difficult for our ideas to be completely common with the ancients, and it is difficult to know where we will leave a trap, set a trap or something, looking at the current state of Mazi, I really sweat for him.

Halbara hadn't spoken for a long time, and when she heard the two of us talking for a long time, she was a little scared and patted me from behind: "Brother Xu, there won't really be any mechanism in this tomb, right?" That thing isn't a joke, it's going to kill if you're not careful! ”

I forgot to say just now, this tomb robber is afraid of relaxation, and second, he is afraid of being cautious, like Halbara who is worried about everything, and it is difficult to become a qualified captain who touches gold, looking at the mentality of the two of them, I immediately made a decision to rest in place for five minutes, one is that I am indeed a little tired after walking for so long, and the other is that taking a breath is conducive to relieving the mentality, although it is taboo to stay too much in the ancient tomb, but the lesser of two evils, I think the problem of mentality is much more serious than the problem of staying in the ancient tomb.

The two of them had no experience in tomb robbing, and when they told me that they wanted to rest, they had no objection, so they sat cross-legged on the ground as I did, took off their gas masks, and rested. Mazi held the candle for more than half a day, and his arm was a little sore, but when he came to rest, he dropped a few drops of wax oil from the white wax in his hand to the ground, stood in the tomb, and sat down cross-legged.
