Chapter 39: The Dead Door

The outline of the terrain in the surrounding darkness gradually became clear, which was also due to the fact that we had been in the dark for a long time, and our eyesight gradually became accustomed to this environment, so I asked the other three not to touch anything, and then told everyone to pay special attention to their feet, so I moved forward again and again, and finally got a rough look at the scene in front of me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Jianxi tomb road we walked did not expect that in the depths was an enemy tower of the urn city. I saw that the whole urn city of the underground was semicircular, and the left and right sides were lined up about a few zhang away, and both sides were directly drilled into the rammed earth of the stone wall, which merged with the surrounding mountain soil; The city wall is at least three or four stories high, and it can be clearly seen that the city wall is also equipped with arrow towers, pheasant moats and other defensive measures, if it is not for the 100 meters of open space before the city wall, it is all full of arrows and rolling stones, and when you first arrive, anyone will be refreshed, and you will think that after a lot of hardships, you have finally found the main hall gate of this ancient cemetery palace.

After thinking about this, I can't help but feel terrified in my heart, how cruel this tomb owner is, the tomb robbers who want to enter the ancient tomb to disturb his dreams at the expense of blood and money have no place to bury, it is really vicious, fortunately, the ancestral graves of several of us bloomed, and the gods blessed them, and they escaped this catastrophe behind the gang of folk thieves.

Generally speaking, if the ancient tomb is set up with a crossbow hanging sword and other organ news, it is mostly controlled by some recyclable physical knowledge, the most common is nothing more than the use of the mercury cycle repeated flow principle to drive the machine crossbow machine, as long as the arrow crossbow is prepared enough when the mechanism is built, then it can achieve a permanent infinite cycle, not to mention a bunch of tomb robbers, the rain of arrows and locusts like shooting to the vicissitudes of the sea is not easy to say, but at the moment there is a quiet in the four fields, The scale of the Urn City trap here is not to the point where it can work in an infinite loop, which is a blessing for us.

Just as I was secretly wiping my sweat and rejoicing, the fat man and the others found the body of another tomb robber in camouflage not far away. This person almost ended up in the same fate, and was even shot so that people couldn't tell what he looked like, what a miserable word. The fat man looked at it and found that there was not even a backpack on the corpse, and he couldn't help frowning, I also shook his head when I saw it, and sighed in my heart, it is estimated that this group of people came to turn the meat dumplings together in a group of half-way upper pots, otherwise how could their companions be killed, and they just took the equipment and walked away.

This "branch pot" refers to turning the meat dumplings together, but for the people who rob the tomb halfway, this situation is relatively normal, and the vast majority of tomb robbers are inevitably interested in getting rich when they steal the Ming weapon, and the black eats the black and destroys the accomplices, this kind of thing is not unusual, when our archaeological team excavated the ancient tomb, it was found at the bottom of a vertical robbery hole about eight or nine meters deep, the body was hit hard, and there were many soft tissue injuries on the body, accompanied by traces of fractures, This is most likely because after the success, he got out of the hole and was plotted by his accomplices.

While thinking about these things, I asked the fat man and them to stay away from the city wall, and find out if there was a gate in this urn city. Since ancient times, the urn city was used to strengthen the defense of the fortified castle or pass, especially in the Three Kingdoms period, especially in the Three Kingdoms period, generally speaking, the urn city gate and the main city gate are not in a straight line, which is also to defend against the attack of heavy siege weapons such as battering rams or rushing vehicles.

Of course, this is just my wishful thinking, although the general definition of the urn city used for the siege of the city in ancient times is this, but the small urn city in front of it, which is located in the depths of the ancient tomb, is obviously not used to defend the enemy army from attacking the city, its only function is to trap and kill all kinds of tomb robbers who dare to come to the tomb owner's coffin.

didn't think about it, with the fat man's shout, he really found the location of the gate of this urn city. Suspicious, I glanced in the direction they were pointing, and saw two bronze nail gates in the city wall standing silently and tightly closed. The gate is equipped with a copper ring the size of a human head, and the doorway is arched, about two zhang high, which looks majestic and solemn, and has the tendency of not being opened.

Although I have long been accustomed to the grotesque design in this catacomb, I was still secretly taken aback as far as my eyes could see, this scale is like the gate of the urn city, this is obviously the main city gate, could it be that this is really the main hall gate of the ancient cemetery palace?

There is a gate so difficult to say that there is a road, a few of us gathered in front of the vermilion lacquer copper nail city gate after a while, everyone you look at me, I look at yours, I don't know how to start, Cailiu carefully checked for a moment, indicating that there is no sign of ambush on the door crack and bolt, this door should be no problem.

I heard that she used a "should", but my heart was miserable, according to the current situation analysis, the boss lady in the mouth of the group of five people of the pot team can clearly be sure that it has been folded more than three, this way is basically a one-way street, then the remaining two must still be ahead, this place except for the vermilion paint city gate does not seem to have any other passage possible, presumably they must have pushed the door into the house.

Such a reasoning is consistent with Cailiu's conclusion, if there is a trap at this city gate, the last two unlucky eggs who turned over the meat dumplings would have laid down to report to us.

However, the simpler things seem to be, the more they are often not so simple, and the enemy tower of such an urn city in this ancient tomb must be set up to kill tomb robbers, there is no doubt about this, just look at the density of arrows and rolling stones within a radius of 100 meters under your feet. Since this is the purpose, it is still hanging to build the city gate. I thought about it for a while, although the rain of arrows and locusts outside the city wall is loud, but after all, it lacks mobility, and there is no corpse wax and fire oil on the ground, and it lacks pertinence, so it seems that there is a feeling of "casting nets everywhere and focusing on catching fish", if the number of thieves under the city is slightly larger, and the corpse wall is stacked, it is not without a chance of survival; Not to mention that some of the top tomb robbers are rumored to have some extremely convenient self-defense tools in their hands, and if a single point crossbow arrow encounters those professional tomb robber tools, it is estimated that the effect is not ideal......

There was a twinkle in my eye—there was a high probability that there was a chain trap in this place. With that in mind, I shared my thoughts with the other three.

The name of the urn city is taken from the meaning of catching turtles in the urn, most of the ancient times the change of political dynasty and royal power are more frequent, so it leads to frequent wars, even in the prosperous era of various great unification, the rulers also have to resist the invasion of foreign tribes, and in these large and small battles, the city wall and the pass played an extremely important role, I think that the arrogant Qing Taizu and Qing Taizong were also stopped outside the small Ningyuan City and suffered a lot, and the Qing Taizu Nurhachi ended up with hatred, and Li Wu's matter is a later story.

This kind of physical knowledge is a headache just for defense, and when you combine it with traps - or even some horrific ancient creatures hiding in them...... With the strength of the four of us, the plane trees on the ancestral grave may not be able to protect us, which is really careless.
