Chapter 18: The Golden Arrow

Obviously, the pangolin has discovered the message control of the crossbow machine shooting and winding, so that it can deal with it calmly and freely, otherwise it would have been lying on its stomach to dodge the crossbow arrows like us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And I seemed to feel something, I moved my backpack and exclaimed, "The message is under the stone slab at the top of the arch bridge, it's pressure controlled." ”

"Your hands and feet are too fast, I can't stop them." The pangolin said to me.

I looked at the two gilded arrows on my backpack, I didn't know if there was anything wrong with the computer and camera in the backpack, I looked back at the stone slab at the top of the arch bridge, and suddenly realized, approached and squatted down and said to everyone: "The problem is under this stone slab, once this stone slab is forced, the crossbow machine will touch the shot, and as soon as the force pressed on the stone slab disappears, the crossbow machine will automatically wind." ”

What I said makes a lot of sense, and everyone agrees with my explanation through the experiment just now.

"This is specially designed to prevent someone from invading the tomb and robbing the tomb, only people walking will step on one foot, the other foot forward, and then release the foot of the stone slab, when someone steps on the stone slab, the crossbow machine will shoot, the person is hit by the arrow and falls, the pressure disappears from the stone slab, the crossbow machine is wound, so ingenious design, the crystallization of wisdom." Pangolins imagined tomb robbers invading the dungeon, praising the ingenuity of the mechanism.

"Now that the crossbow machine has been wound, everyone must not step on this stone slab again, otherwise the arrows on the crossbow machine will shoot out, and if you are not careful, you will be hit, just like my backpack." I told everyone, and then pointed to my backpack.

Old K ran up to me, pulled out an arrow and looked at it in his hand, then looked at the gilt arrow and said with some disappointment: "Or gilded?" ”

I took off the other arrow on the backpack, put the backpack back on my back, the arrow was in my hand, I found that it was different from the arrows in the tomb before, especially the triangular arrow, golden, I put it in my mouth and bit it, took it out and looked at it, sure enough, there were tooth marks.

I told Old K: "The arrows are pure gold. ”

"Really, what about the shafts?" Old K is more concerned about the whole arrow.

The pangolin took the arrow from my hand and said, "The shaft is still bronze and gilt, only the arrow part is pure gold." ”

"Give me a Swiss Army knife." Old K suddenly asked me for a knife.

"What are you going to do?" I gave the saber to Lao K, but unexpectedly, this kid was dismantling the arrows with a knife, what a money fan.

Old K took off the arrows of the two arrows and put them in his pocket, helplessly unable to take care of the other arrows, otherwise he would have made a fortune with these arrows.

"How do you use pure gold for the arrows here?" Zhao Linsheng tried to find a few arrows and take the opportunity to make a small fortune, but unfortunately most of the arrows fell into the Bohai and Yellow Seas full of mercury after shooting at the wall.

"This is the last line of defense of the dungeon, cross here and enter the important position of the dungeon, these crossbow arrows are anti-theft, the first emperor more than two thousand years ago also took into account the factor of time, in order to avoid the decay of the arrows, so gilded, in order to be more secure, he chose not particularly hard pure gold arrows, in order to kill the intruder, no matter how long, the arrow can shoot the intruder." I reasoned that I introduced it to Zhao Linsheng.

"He was so thoughtful, if we weren't so careful, we would probably have been shot by an arrow and died here." Zhao Linsheng was fortunate to enter the underground palace and saw the underground palace of the mausoleum of the first emperor through the ages, thanks to the fact that he was accompanied by so many masters in the industry, which was considered lucky.

"Now we will cross the bridge, but you must not step on the highest stone slab of the arch bridge, as soon as you step on the crossbow and activate, the arrows will be fired at you immediately." Although it has been verified, the pangolin still takes the trouble to repeat it for everyone.

"Hmm." The people in the back responded.

Shangguan Yaxiong said behind him: "Lead the way!" ”

I was still behind the pangolin, and I looked at the stone slab at the top of the bridge, carefully stepping over with my thighs open, and even holding my backpack under my hands so as not to suddenly fall and touch the mechanism.

Everyone got off the stone bridge, three rows of bronze figurines are in front of them, the bronze figurines are only half the size of us, but they are very similar, and the faces of each figurines are different, as if they were imitated according to the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, you can imagine how many molds are needed to cast these figurines, and making molds will be a big project.

Now everyone is more concerned about the crossbow machine that almost took their own lives, the crossbow arrow in the hands of the bronze crossbowmen, because the bronze crossbowmen are squatting, and if you want to observe the crossbow machine, you must also squat down to see clearly.

"It's really well made, especially the sighting device." Yang Gang squatted and watched, his attention all focused on the part of the bronze crossbowman's hand.

The Qin crossbow sighting device is all made of bronze, composed of a lookout, a hanging knife and an ox, once the crossbow machine is wound, you only need to use the lookout mountain to aim, and then gently pull the hanging knife, and the bowstring immediately flies out of the crossbow machine with an arrow and shoots to the target.

In the records, the Qin crossbow is made of many materials, such as the bow stem is made of mulberry wood as the core, the outer ductile leather material, and the bowstring, these are all materials that will decay, and we see that the Qin crossbow has not rotted for more than 2,000 years, and it can shoot normally, which is unimaginable.

"Of course, if you don't unify the world, the historical task of unifying the world will not be completed by the Qin State." I sighed for Qin's crossbow.

However, the Qin State is not a country that produces strong bows and crossbows, the country rich in strong bows and crossbows should be South Korea, but history has made a big joke, Korea is the first country to be eliminated by the Qin State among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

"You can see it, don't move, just in case." Pangolins may have been scared by crossbow arrows along the way, reminding everyone.

But then I realized that no matter how dangerous it was, it couldn't stop some people from making a fortune, and Old K was actually carefully removing the arrows that had been wound from the ballista, and then using my Swiss Army knife to dismantle the arrows.

I approached, patted Lao K on the shoulder and said, "You money fan, you're not afraid of death!" ”

"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of poverty, we are tomb robbers, we can't be empty-handed, I don't take it when I see gold, you treat me as a fool." Instead, Old K laughed at me and continued to tear down the arrows.

I can't control it, I can't help it, watching Lao K dismantle several golden arrows, Zhao Linsheng also saw it, seeing that Lao K removed several golden arrows, there was no danger at all, and then he also learned to start removing arrows from the crossbow machine, desperately dismantling the arrows.

And I found that there was only one wound arrow on the crossbow machine, and the other arrows did not know where to hide, or perhaps there were only three arrows, two of which had been shot, and only one that had been wound and ready to be fired.

Seeing that Lao K was addicted to making a fortune, I think he only hated that the bronze figurines were too heavy, otherwise he would carry out a bottle.

"Have you two dismantled enough, just stop when you've had enough, let's move on, there must be more valuable treasures in it." Pangolins don't seem to be able to stand it anymore, or maybe he doesn't care about these hard currencies at all.

Hearing the baby, Lao K decisively stopped, he had already opened a handful of golden arrows, which could not fit in his pockets, and had already changed into a backpack.

"The location we are now should be the former Chu land, the Xue County of the Qin period." I said with the map.

Pangolin Zhang Jiuping also said: "It's not Xue County, it's Langxi County." ”

At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the world was divided into 36 counties, and the two counties near the Yellow Sea were Xue County and Langxi County. According to historical records, the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was divided into 36 counties according to the early Qin period, and we make this judgment according to the 36 counties.

Standing in Xue County, the first thing we see is the hometown of Qi County, located in Qi County after the unification of Qin, there is a palace built on Qi Qun, it must be an imitation of the palace of the national capital of Qi State, but it is a pity that the palace has no name, in order to distinguish so many palaces, we call it "Qi Palace".

After some discussion, we planned to go to the nearest palace, the Palace of King Qi.

Since the entire underground palace area is the size of six or seven football fields, although the Qi Palace and other palaces are miniature buildings, they are still very large and majestic, to put it bluntly, it is the size of a villa.

The sunlight at this time is strong, and entering the palace of Qi at this time is equivalent to entering during the day, so it is safer, so everyone decided to enter the palace of Qi immediately.

We walked forward, step by step close to the palace of Qi State, here are many mountains, so the performance is bumpy, the road is a little difficult to walk, and there are bronze figurines everywhere to defend, all holding weapons, looking like they are standing guard.

"These figurines should be safe, right?" I don't know if these bronze figurines with weapons will be like the bronze figurines of the crossbow machine.

"No matter what, it's better for everyone to be careful, be vigilant, and dodge in time if there is a situation." Pangolins tell us.
