Chapter 43: The Hanging Coffin Trick

The fat man saw me half-squatting on the ground, staring at the paved stone strips and wrinkling his eyebrows in deep thought, and asked me what I was looking at, I thought about it and asked him: "Look, the ground inside this urn city is very different from the treatment method outside, why?" ”

The fat man scratched his head, "Huh? The exterior and interior decoration must be different, what's so strange about that? ”

I shook my head, "No, you see, if these stone bars are only used to decorate the feet, it is necessary to make them so large and thick?" And why are the chisels cut of different lengths and sizes, but they are spliced together in an orderly manner, and ......" I poked the gaps between the stone bars with the Yi knife in my hand to show him, and continued to analyze, "and the stone bars are also stacked impermeable." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The fat man still didn't understand, and Xiao Ye on the side was suddenly moved, "...... Brother Tang, what do you mean? ”

I nodded, "Hmm...... It is very likely that these stone strips are also one of the means to prevent tomb robbery. ”

I'm really not talking nonsense, since ancient times, the methods of preventing tomb robbers in the tomb collection are ever-changing, like those we encountered before the tomb robbers are strangled before they achieve their goals, in fact, to be honest, although these anti-tomb robbery methods seem to be cruel and ruthless, in fact, they can't resist the waves of tomb robbers who pour in like a flood of beasts, on the contrary, some seemingly stupid and honest defense methods can play an unexpected anti-theft effect, such as stone road closure. Some mausoleums in the tomb owner converge after the coffin, will be between the tomb road and the tomb door with stone swallow strips to fill, layer upon layer, countless, these stone strips will be used every three layers to tie through the bolt pull, and then use tin iron to melt the joints, so that the stone strips can not be moved, mixed into one, the project can be described as complicated. Throughout history, it has been clear that such anti-theft facilities are the most effective. It is said that the reason why the Qianling Tomb has not been stolen and excavated is precisely because of the use of stone strips to seal the road.

Of course, if this is the same defense in front of us now, then we really don't have any way to do it, so I gave up after thinking about it and went to look elsewhere.

Tsai carefully looked at the semi-circular Urn City Cabinet for a long time, and indeed found no signs of any organ news, but this does not rule out that there are traps triggered by weight or temperature, in short, you still have to be careful everywhere. The walls of the Urn City Cabinet could be seen with the naked eye, as if it was seeping out with a liquid like water, wet and sticky refracting bright spots of light under the beam of the flashlight, similar to the situation I encountered when I climbed the slope of the city wall before. I can't tell what is going on in this situation, but the inside of the city wall is still hollowed out and raised with fish?

Encountering a guest on the slope of the wall had at least taught me a little bit not to touch the wet walls. I then withdrew my gaze from the heights and looked into the depths of the place.

There is indeed a second gate in the depths of the cabinet that connects to the city wall, just as recorded in the history books, the urn city protects the main city, and there are gates that open on both sides, and the main gate is the entrance. However, in ancient times, if the defender of the city encountered the siege army of the bamboo, once the urn city gate was breached, then the main city gate was precarious, in order to avoid being taken away by the attack method of one-stop service, the defender of the city was not ambiguous, if the enemy army broke into the gate of the main city, then as the side defending the city there is the last killer - hanging door.

The so-called hanging gate is actually a hanging gate added at the main city gate hole, so that a city gate becomes two, this thing is to put it bluntly is to delay the next time, even if the besieging side breaks through the city gate, the second hanging door covered with iron plates can also resist for a while and a half, for the defenders to gain valuable time to kill the enemy quickly.

There is really a main city gate hole in the depths of this urn city cabinet, but there is no magnificent main city gate, and the door is a copper hanging door placed from top to bottom.

Unlike the city gates, which are decorated, bolted, and can be opened and closed, the hanging gate is a huge iron plate with occasional patterns, but most of them are covered with iron nails when defending the city. Because of this, I can tell at a glance that there is a hanging door in the depths of the cabinet.

I don't know what the intention of the hanging door is that there is no main gate in the main gate, and I don't have time to figure it out, because in less than two seconds before my eyes swept to the bronze hanging door, all my attention was dragged by something hanging in front of the hanging door

-- In the middle of the opening in front of the bronze hanging door, a small wooden coffin hangs impressively.

The beam of light in the hands of me and the fat man was focused, and the pins fell all around. It's no wonder that our group of people have been wandering around this underground tomb for so long, and we have encountered all kinds of strange things along the way, but we have not encountered any coffins.

It took a long time before I swallowed my saliva and turned my head to look at Cailiu, who was already in full battle mode at this time, staring at the apricot eyebrows, holding the dragon blood groove blade in his hand, staring at the strange burial tool in front of him that was more than three feet above the ground.

I saw Cailiu put on this posture, my heart was terrified, I didn't dare to be sloppy, and I hurriedly beckoned the fat man and Xiaoye on the side to cheer up, if there was any twin mother worm in a while, I had to run away in an orderly manner.

After a long hesitation, we moved towards the hanging object, but the stone floor did not trigger any deadly ambush, and in a short time the log hanging coffin was close at hand.

When I got closer, I was in a position to take a closer look at this thing. The round wooden coffin is also called a single wooden coffin, which is generally a section of the big tree, hollowing out the middle part to make a coffin, and then the body of the tomb owner is buried in it, and finally the whole trunk is buried and buried. According to legend, Genghis Khan was also buried in a single wooden coffin in history, and then the tomb soil was backfilled, and thousands of horses were flattened, and later generations have not found where he was buried until now; However, the single wooden coffin in front of him did not have the treatment of backfilling the tomb soil, but was suspended in the air in front of the wall of the Urn City Cabinet like a suspended ceiling.

It is not very accurate to say that it is hanging, I took a closer look, and found that there are four copper ring locks up and down this coffin, and the four iron chains drag the upper half of the coffin from top to bottom, and there are four iron chains that are connected to the copper ring of the lower half of the coffin, and the two sides are lined up and tightly pull the bottom of the coffin.
