Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Circular Burial Chamber
The eight stone statues placed in the walls of the circular burial chamber, without exception, have all changed directions, and they used to face the corridor, but now they all face the burial chamber. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I used a flashlight to look for gaps in the ground, and it stands to reason that these statues are rotated together including the base, so that there should be gaps in the ground, or there will be traces of movement under the base, and the base is square.
The ground and walls of the Nine Shadows Jade Palace are very peculiar, and when building this Jade Palace, the smooth surface of these smooth Lantian jade is carefully polished, and non-ordinary tools can polish this effect, unless it is animal fur.
In ancient times, the tools of production were simple and backward, and I can't imagine any tools they could use to polish these floors and walls so brightly and as smooth as a mirror.
There is not a single gap in the mirror-like smooth ground, and it is obvious that there is no gap, otherwise there will be a gap in such a bright ground, if there is a gap, it will be quite conspicuous, and even only need the light to appear immediately.
All the stone doors in the narrow stone house in the array are quite peculiar, it is difficult for us to find the gap between the stone door and the wall on the wall, that is because the stone door is like being separated from the wall, and even the texture of Lantian jade is the same, this strange thing I have not come up with an answer so far, even if modern people add modern tools to technology, it is even more difficult to do this kind of thing, a stone door and a wall may be able to do, but countless stone doors and walls, simple is a fantasy, impossible thing.
"There are no joints on the ground, so it should be under the base, with shaft transmission, to achieve the rotation of the stone statue." The pangolin tried to shoot flashlight rays into the joint between the base of the statue and the ground, but they worked together perfectly, leaving few gaps, and even a strand of hair could not be inserted into it.
"The stone statue is one, and the mechanism is undoubtedly under the pedestal." I patted the stone statue and straightened up.
As soon as I straightened up, Shangguan Yaxiong immediately pulled me away and shouted, "Get out of the way." ā
Shangguan Yaxiong shouted, there must be a problem, she is not a person who makes a fuss, if nothing happens, she will not let her shout.
I was pulled back by Shangguan Yaxiong several steps, and my backpack was already pressed against the wall behind me.
As soon as he stood still, there was a heavy sound, the grinding of something hard, like the grinding of stones against each other.
Several flashlights hit the stone statue opposite, and I also raised the flashlight to shine it, and the stone statue that had been facing away from us was now slowly rotating, as if it was about to return to its original position, turning its face towards us.
"Qin Qi, it turns out that you can rotate the stone statue with this shot." Yang Gang said as he stared at the computer screen.
I stared at the stone statue that was still slowly spinning and smiled, "I didn't mean to. ā
The stone statue was spinning, and we all stepped back, our backs against the jade wall, and at this time, no one knew if it was a good or bad thing for the stone statue to turn around.
"I see." Yang Gang stared at the rotating stone statue on the computer screen in contemplation.
I thought that Yang Gang could probably tell us something new, so I chased after him and asked, "Yang liar, what do you understand, tell me quickly?" ā
"That is to say, the stone statue faces the corridor, which means that it is safe and the mechanism is lifted, and if the stone statue faces the tomb, it means that the mechanism is activated, and the people inside are in danger, just like the black fog before." Pangolin then explained Yang Gang's words.
At this time, when I mentioned the black fog, I remembered, so I used a flashlight to shine in all directions, and at this time, in the Jade Palace, as far as the eye could see, there was no black fog.
The stone statue rotated quite slowly, and it took a long time for it to finally turn its body around and face us.
"The dog head, that's it, let's go in and get down the jade coffin hanging in the void, it is estimated that there are a lot of treasures in it." Old K is ready to move.
"Yes, valuable baby." The bearded man was also rubbing his hands around.
I glanced at the old K and the bearded man, and said to them: "We naturally want to enter the tomb, and the jade coffin will also be brought down, but you two must not come to the tomb, this is an ancient tomb, the mechanism is inevitable, be careful of greed for money and die." ā
"Phew, I can't speak!" The old man spat at me fiercely.
The pangolin also said to me: "Qin Qi is right, be careful." ā
"The space on both sides of the dog-headed stone statue is small, go in one by one, don't worry, no matter what happens in the process." Shangguan Yaxiong took off his backpack and said.
Looking at Shangguan Yaxiong's formation, she wanted to be the first to go in, and I had to stop her, so I said to her: "Shangguan, don't worry, let us go in first, and after ensuring that it is safe inside, you can go in again." ā
"Yes, Qin Qi is right, I'll go first!" The pangolin took off his backpack, handed it to the bearded man to hold it first, and then drilled into the slightly larger gap on the side of the kobhead.
The pangolin is a tomb robber in the end, as if it was the first time to enter, he entered smoothly, and after shining a flashlight in it, and after making sure that there was nothing evil, one hand reached out and asked for a backpack.
The bearded man handed the backpack to the pangolin, and I took it off and said to the pangolin, "Pangolin, take my backpack." ā
I reached into the gap between the kobhead statues, and the pangolin took it.
I glanced back at Shangguan Yaxiong, then bent down and drilled over to the statue of the dog's head. Although I can't compare with a pangolin, I can easily enter the circular burial chamber, after all, I have had an experience.
Stepping on the black ash on the ground, in fact, these are ashes, in the tomb, these things are not strange, and they are used to it, and the ashes are not as annoying as red-eyed zongzi.
Then Shangguan Yaxiong also came in, and the last two were Lao K and Bearded.
So all the people entered the circular burial chamber, and although it took some time, and each was different, they all entered the burial chamber with all their tails in their heads.
In addition to the black ashes on the ground and the central altar in the tomb, there is almost an unobstructed view, if there is any treasure, the first time I came in, I was found by the old K and the bearded man, and took it away.
In addition, there is the jade coffin hanging above the head, if it is the tomb owner, the most valuable thing must be placed next to the tomb owner, such as the national seal.
In the burial chamber, I flashed a flashlight all over the walls of the circular burial chamber, and the eight stone statues in the walls were indeed in line with my previous suspicions, and all the stone statues were already facing away from us.
"Pangolin, how did you say that this jade coffin was suspended in the void?" Lao K raised his head, and the flashlight went around the jade coffin above his head, and he didn't find any ropes or chains, so he asked the pangolin curiously.
The pangolin shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it." ā
At this time, after confirming the safety of the tomb, everyone's flashlights shone on the jade coffin overhead, and five flashlights gathered on the jade coffin, making the jade coffin bright and clear at once, and even the corpse and burial utensils in the jade coffin could be vaguely seen through the jade coffin wall.
