The further I went, the more I had the feeling that the ground in this place was not flat, but slightly slanted.

This may be due to some cave-ins in the tomb, or it is

I remembered suddenly: this is a special anti-theft mechanism!

Walk as lightly as you can! I know what it is! I whispered.

What do you know? Liu Yuwei asked.

This place is an anti-theft agency, and those big jars should be full of mercury! I explained: This is supposed to be the top of the burial chamber, and these large jars contain a dozen tons of mercury. It became an oblique angle, and there must be a mechanism to trigger this trap on the face, and once triggered, more than a dozen tons of mercury were poured directly into the tomb, and whoever touched it died!

Mercury I remember is a chronic highly toxic material, people will not die immediately after contact, is this tomb robbery mechanism reliable?

Of course, mercury can't kill people right away, but the steam of mercury, that is, mercury vapor, is very powerful, and there must be a matching heating device on the face of this tomb robber, and the two are activated together, and the whole tomb will be filled with mercury vapor at that time. Even a rat can't even run away!

So vicious? I knew that I was going to wear a gas mask, and Liu Yuwei's face turned pale with fright.

It didn't work. Mercury vapor can penetrate through the skin, as long as this mechanism is activated, if we don't escape in time, it is estimated that we will all hang up except Yang Li, and Yang Li will not be able to last long. I shook my head and said.

It's those people who have started moving things outside. So they didn't trigger the trap anymore? Zhang Gui looked at me and said.

It's not clear yet. We can only move forward cautiously, the passage we entered should be the last escape route left for himself by the last person who arranged this mechanism back then, and it is difficult to say what the situation is in front of us now.

At this time, the unicorn cat was already meowing as if it was very dissatisfied, so we had to continue to follow it forward.

The road ahead began to narrow again, and finally there was a thick paper wall with a hole in which a unicorn cat had broken through.

After smashing open the thick paper wall, we came to a narrow burial chamber.

This burial chamber is only a few square meters, and there is a narrow sarcophagus inside, and there is a hole about 30 centimeters in the ground.

Hurry up! Otherwise, Lei Zi (the police) will come to the door, and then it will be troublesome! A man was yelling.

There was the sound of some shadows talking. It sounds like they must be moving things.

Now I find that there is a big problem: this hole is about 2 centimeters wide, and the unicorn cat can pass through it casually, and this hole is obviously designed for cats to walk, and it is impossible for us humans to get into it even if they are the smallest Yang Li, and there is no other way around here.

Just when we were a little overwhelmed, the unicorn cat stood up like a person and kept knocking on the coffin next to it with its huge paws.

What does it mean? Open it up and take a look? Zhang Gui looked at me and said.

It seems that there is no other way but to open it and take a look

This stone coffin is very small, I estimate that if it is a sleeping person, it will only be about the same as Yang Li's size, and this should be the highest coffin in the entire mausoleum, I can't guess who should be buried here?

However, the sarcophagus is the easiest to open: it is a stone slab covered on it, and Zhang Gui and I, together with Yang Li, removed the stone slab on the coffin without much effort.

After moving and opening things, we looked inside: there were two animal carcasses inside: a cat and a turtle?

Is this the tomb owner's pet? Bury your pet here?

I have to say that Zhang Gui is still very imaginative, but I regret to tell him: You are wrong. The meaning of a cat and a turtle is actually the meaning of one movement and one stillness, the meaning of yin and yang replacement, which is a sacrifice of this tomb, which means that this tomb will not be stolen for a long time.

Well, whatever it means, we still don't go anyway, don't we? Liu Yuwei sighed helplessly on the side and said: What should I do if I pick it up?

Just as we were discussing, the unicorn cat jumped on the lid of the coffin, supported the edge of the coffin with that huge claw, looked inside and seemed to find something, and after meowing at us twice, the cat jumped into the coffin, and used his huge claws to paw at the cat corpse that had become a cat mummy!

The cat corpse was instantly shattered!

I said unicorn cat, as the saying goes, stealing corpses does not destroy corpses, you destroy the corpses of your own kind, but it is detrimental to yin morality, why did you destroy the corpse of the turtle? It's too undisciplined

The unicorn first tore the dried corpse of the cat with one paw, and then it also clawed hard at the dried corpse of the turtle, and then it slashed the ground with its big paws in a ploughing posture, and then walked to the side and called at us again.

Let's take a closer look: there are actually two symbols on the ground.

These two symbols are clearly visible to everyone: a sun and a moon. Just now the cat corpse was standing on the sun, and the turtle corpse was standing on the moon.

Seeing this, I realized what was going on: the sun and moon ladder!

When ancient craftsmen made ancient tombs, they usually left a small door for themselves as an escape passage for safety reasons, which was generally called the Ming Ladder, and inside the craftsmen, they generally dismantled the Ming Ladder, which was called the Sun and Moon Ladder.

But this kind of thing is easier said than done: you dug a passage in the ancient tomb for your own use, are you a fool to be the construction party and the supervising party?

So the craftsmen took another approach: to build this open ladder into something else: for example, here it was built to look like a tomb robber to confuse the public, and the secret passage they left for themselves was actually in this coffin!

I finally know what's going on.

I'll come first, you see!

I stepped into the coffin with two feet, one foot on the sun and the other on the moon, and then I could immediately feel that the board on the coffin side began to slowly separate to both sides!

What does this mean? Liu Yuwei asked in surprise.

It is believed that when the tomb was sealed, there was a craftsman hiding here, and this mechanism needed someone to help from the outside to open it, and then everyone escaped from this way. I said as I looked at my feet.

It's amazing that it's a thousand-year-old mechanism that is still useful! Zhang Gui sighed and said: No one has been here for thousands of years, if it weren't for the unicorn cat, I'm afraid no one would be able to find here, right?

Liu Yuwei stopped smiling and stroked the fur of the unicorn cat, this guy actually looked complacent.

Animals infected by cadaveric toadstools will more or less be affected by cadaveric toadstools: of course, it is not to reduce their lifespan but to continuously extend their lifespan: but their bodies will also be slowly occupied by cadaveric toadstools, and the final may be from living creatures directly to zombie creatures, and this process is very slow: there are many animals in nature that have a long lifespan because of this reason.

Archaeologists sometimes encounter this kind of thing: some live animals are found in ancient tombs: cats and dogs, insects such as beetles, and even live fish and birds are dug up, but they will die within a few minutes after they are dug up, in fact, they are caused by some corpse toadstools, and after the tomb is dug up, the air composition changes, and they die immediately.

As the stone slab of my feet split in two, a dark passage appeared on the coffin face, but this path was so narrow that I had to climb to move on: it was impossible for the craftsmen of the time to leave themselves a big path, and I could confirm it by looking at this place: this must be the open ladder!

But this unicorn cat came up from that dog hole and didn't walk here, why did this guy find this way?

Looking at this cat still leading the way, I had a feeling: this guy is not as simple as we thought!

The four of them climbed into the dark passage together, and after walking forward for about ten meters, the unicorn cat stopped, and slapped a brick in front of him with his paws, I tried to push it but did not push, but the unicorn cat continued to slap, and also patted back and forth with another normal paw on the side of my head, and the eyes seemed to say to me: force! Hard! It's here!

I don't know how my mind receives the message from a cat's eyes, but I still put my hands on it together and push it hard!

With a bang, the bricks in front of him immediately shattered!

Then from there came a girl's frightened cry.

Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, I immediately grabbed the edge of the brick, and the whole person rushed out.

Then I felt like I was on top of someone.

I looked up and saw a girl in front of me?

The girl has Japanese-style bangs. She looked at me in horror: she was huddled in the corner in an expedition suit, her face as white as a layer of rice paper.

I didn't have time to comfort her, so I looked around first.

This is a burial chamber of about a dozen square meters, there is a wooden coffin in the middle, it is empty on all sides, the wooden coffin has also been opened, what is inside is not clear, but it seems that the burial chamber has a door leading to the outside, and this door has been completely blocked.

Zhang Gui, Liu Yuwei and Yang Li also got out, and when they saw the girl, Liu Yuwei immediately recognized it: This is the Japanese girl Nan Mu Ling!
