Chapter 26: The Yin-Yang Cave
Speaking of which, Liu Bowen's story is all over, after listening to it, we can't help but sigh in our hearts, like Liu Bowen, an invincible person, I didn't expect to end up with that kind of tragic ending, not to mention that he himself is unwilling, even we, the bystanders, feel worthless for him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, I also had a big question in my heart, and I couldn't help but say to the third uncle: "Liu Bowen's self-report has made it very clear that there are only poison pills in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and there is no so-called elixir at all, third uncle, you know this now, but why do you want to go to Kunlun Mountain?" ”
The third uncle said: "Of course I won't do meaningless things, I think so, with today's advanced medical technology, maybe I can purify the corpse poison in the golden pill, and it is not impossible to make the poison pill become a real immortal pill at that time." Alas! Although I also know that this hope is very slim, but things have come to this point, and I can only do my best. ”
Does the poisonous Jin Dan really have hope of becoming an elixir? Anyway, I don't believe it at all, I believe that with the shrewdness of the third uncle, I actually don't believe it in my heart. I think the biggest reason why he still wants to do this is because he wants to give a perfect explanation to everyone, such as the head of the family, those dead family members, or himself.
The third uncle was silent for a while, I don't know what I thought of, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked me a little excitedly: "Now let's talk about your affairs, on your last trip to Tibet, did you get the legendary earth spring water?" ”
When I talk about this, I can't help but feel a pang of grief in my heart, because it instantly reminds me of the dead Tom, and after all, Tom's death is inseparable from me, and I am really sorry for him.
At the same time, I feel even more ashamed of the third uncle in my heart, because Tom is his most valued subordinate, and now he says that it is gone, and I don't know how sad he will be when he knows this result, so I don't know how to speak now.
Biaozi could see my thoughts from my bitter expression, he deliberately diverted the topic, and said to the third uncle: "I said the third uncle, let's talk about our affairs later, let's talk about the Warring States Tomb first." ”
The third uncle was naturally attracted by the words of the marker, so he said: "What is there to say about the matter of the Warring States Ancient Tomb, in short, we have suffered a heavy loss this time." ”
Biao Zi said reluctantly: "Let He Yan's group of guards with knives go to the ancient tomb without returning, it must be dangerous and abnormal, third uncle, you can tell us, I'm curious." ”
The third uncle has always had a good impression of the target, and he didn't want to refute his face, so he had to agree: "Okay, I'll tell you, so that you can know how ruthless Liu Bowen's methods are." ”
Liu Bowen's genealogy is not only mixed with biographical statements, but even depicts a simple map of the ancient tombs of the Warring States Period, as if he calculated that someone would find the Tianshi Key from his tomb according to some clues.
On the simple map showing the location of the ancient tomb of the Warring States Period, Liu Bowen also left such a sentence, to the effect that the Tianshi key is hidden in the ancient tomb of the Warring States period in Longtou Mountain, and I hope that the old man will not destroy my body for the sake of telling the truth, so as not to harm my descendants. In addition, this tomb has been carefully designed by me, which contains three dangerous formations, if you do not understand the changes of the five elements of yin and yang, do not enter, so as not to be unexpected.
There are so many dangerous ancient tombs that the third uncle has entered, even the dangerous and inexplicable ancient tombs like the Queen Mother of the West, he can still kill in and out, not to mention a small Warring States ancient tomb with a formation, so for Liu Bowen's reminder, the third uncle didn't pay attention to it at all.
According to the indication on the simple map, it only took the third uncle one day to find Longtou Mountain, and he even found the entrance of the Warring States Ancient Tomb on the same day, which is not fast.
The ancient tomb of the Warring States period was transformed by Liu Bowen, and the entrance was set up in the shape of an arch, and there was a huge stone blocking the door, with the words "Yin and Yang Cave" written on it.
The boulder that sealed the entrance weighed several thousand catties, and from the design point of view, it could be pushed inside, but the third uncle called more than a dozen people to work hard, and he didn't let the boulder move half a minute, he suspected that some kind of mechanism was installed on the boulder, and if he didn't find the way to open the mechanism, he couldn't move the boulder at all.
The third uncle carefully looked at the boulder, it was very smooth, except for the three quaint characters of "Yin Yang Cave", there were no traces of artificial carving in other places. The third uncle thinks that if there is really a mechanism on the boulder, it should be hidden in the three big characters, thinking of this, the third uncle is ready to explore the carvings of the three big characters, hoping to find something from them.
Ban Cuntou blocked the third uncle's way, and said with some disapproval: "Third brother, why do you bother to find the mechanism, I think it is enough to blow it up with explosives, so as not to delay time." ”
The third uncle thinks about it, anyway, it's not in the ancient tomb, even if explosives are used, it won't cause the collapse of the ancient tomb, just blow it up.
In a short time, some of his men planted explosives around the boulder. After everyone was hidden, Ban Cuntou gave an order, and one of his subordinates detonated the explosive device, and a loud noise suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests.
After the smoke caused by the explosion cleared, everyone went over to see that the boulder that sealed the tomb had been blown to pieces, and the third uncle also found metal fragments from it, and it was obvious that those metal pieces were the mechanism of the boulder.
The third uncle couldn't help but feel a little emotional, Liu Bowen thought that he couldn't help it, but in this era, it can be solved with just a dynamite package, which is really ironic.
After the boulder was blown up, a pitch-black hole was revealed in the mountain wall, about two meters high and one meter five wide, and it was no problem for people to enter it.
The third uncle left ten people to guard the camp, and entered the stone cave with the remaining forty or so people. The cave was very deep, and the light of the flashlight could not be seen at a glance, and there was a strange smell wafting from inside, like a musty smell, and like the smell of a rotting corpse.
The road surface of the stone cave is very flat, there is no trace of slope, more than 40 people enter the stone cave, lined up a long line, the third uncle took the lead, walking in the front of the team.
There are no traces of artificial excavation on the walls of the cave, and it is clear that this is a naturally formed cave, and it is not known how the original owner of the ancient tomb found such a place.
After walking more than 200 meters ahead, the scale of the stone cave suddenly became larger, with a height of at least three meters and a width of two meters. At this point, the walls of the cave have been covered with huge stone bricks, which are supposed to be made of local materials, because the color and texture are the same as those on both sides.
There is no doubt that this passage is now the passage to the depths of the ancient tomb. This road is about 100 meters long, and at the end of the road, the third uncle saw a huge stone room, the stone room has no door, and you can go in directly.
On the stone walls on both sides of the road, less than two meters away, there will be a small square hole, the square hole is the size of a brick, and the inside is black and linen, I don't know what there is.
At first, the third uncle thought it was a transmitter like an arrow mechanism, but after asking people to check it, they realized that it was just a stone trough where the lamp oil was placed, but it was very old, and the lamp oil in it had already volatilized.
Although he knew that those stone troughs were not traps, the third uncle still didn't dare to be careless, and he said to one of his subordinates behind him: "Qiangzi, you go over to explore the way, be careful, don't be tricked." ”
Qiangzi, a young man in his early twenties, nodded, and without much thought, walked deeper into the corridor. It was the first time for Hadron to participate in tomb robbery, and when he came, he asked some old members and knew that there were all kinds of unexpected and dangerous mechanisms in the ancient tomb, so he couldn't help but be a little nervous when he went to explore the way at this moment.
It was also because he was very nervous that Hadron walked very slowly and carefully along the way, and it took two minutes to walk a distance of about 30 meters, but there were no accidents during the process, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Qiangzi stopped at this time, turned back to the third uncle and said, "Third master, there should be no problem with this road, should I continue to move forward?" ”
The third uncle is a cautious person, although Qiangzi has walked nearly a third of the distance of the road safely, he is still a little uneasy, so he said: "Don't be careless, continue to walk ahead, and talk about it when you get to the stone room." ”
Qiangzi felt that the third uncle was a little too careful, and he couldn't help but be a little disapproving, but on the surface, he still pretended to be very obedient, nodded, and continued to walk forward. Qiangzi decided in his heart that Yongdao was safe, so this time he walked very fast, walking seventeen or eighteen meters away in less than ten seconds, but at this time, an accident appeared.
Qiangzi never dreamed that as he walked, suddenly a large stone brick floor under his feet flipped over, and below was a pit full of sharp knives and cones. He only had time to let out an exclamation before the man fell into the pit, and was instantly stabbed in the heart by dozens of metal cones, and died with a whimper.
This is a chain flap mechanism, the principle of which is very simple, a shaft is interspersed in the middle of the flap, and a stone of equal weight is hung at the two ends to keep it balanced without external force, and it looks like an ordinary floor.
But once someone walks on the flap and breaks its balance, then one end of the flap will sink instantly, making people fall into the pit that has been dug down long ago in a situation where they are caught off guard, and let sharp knives and other objects intersperse and die.
Although the principle of this mechanism is simple, its effect is very good, and it is impossible to prevent it, so there is almost no chance that the person who is recruited will survive, which is why many ancient tombs have set up this kind of mechanism. (To be continued.) )
