Chapter 16: The Mystery of the Star Palace (Part II) (Revised Version)

"Yes, that's not right." The grasshopper's eyes widened, and she stammered for a long time without saying a word.

Don't talk about him, even I don't think it's quite right, when the female corpse's hands hang down on the sides, because of the cover of the cuffs of the dress, I can't see anything unusual, I just think the fingers are longer, the nails are longer, women, especially the ancient ladies, it is reasonable to have long nails.

However, when I lifted her arm, when the whole hand was completely exposed to us, I really saw that her hand had only four fingers, the thumb was relatively short, and the other three were the longest in the middle and slightly shorter on both sides, plus the fingernails were long and curved, and hard as stone, which had to remind me of the claws of an animal, the eagle.

After Jiang Yuan saw it, he suddenly asked me, "Does Boss Xiao know about the Rama Wu Clan?" ”

I nodded and said, "I know something, a very mysterious tribe in folklore, Boss Jiang, what do you mean by asking me?" ”

Jiang Yuan ignored me, he just asked Liang Jun to help move the female corpse out of the pit under the jade couch, and then said to Li Laosi: "Fourth master, the rest is up to you." ”

Li Laosi had been squinting his eyes since just now, but suddenly opened them, and with a hook of his index finger, the Vietnamese man named Feiying handed him a heavy tool kit and said, "Master, let's do it with me."

Li Laosi shook his head and said, "You can't do it, only Boss Xiao can help me here." ”

As soon as I heard it, I said that the old fox wanted to drag me into the water, so I said bluntly, why sing double reeds, I am not a fool.

I handed over the equipment bag to the grasshopper to take care of, then jumped into the dirt pit, and after standing firmly, I stretched out my hand to Li Laosi, and said, "Bring the tools, and ask the fourth master to guide me what to do later." ”

Li Laosi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Boss Xiao, there will be a mechanism within three meters of this, remember when you dig it, don't touch anything on it, clean up your task is complete." ”

I nodded patiently and agreed, and said in my heart that this is clearly to let Lao Tzu help you step on the thunder, and I have already started digging down before he finishes speaking.

When I was two meters and a half underground, I vaguely saw a little golden light in the soil, and after careful observation, I found that it was a golden bell, I wanted to pinch one to take a look, but I found that those bells were surrounded by gold wires, and these gold wires as thin as hair were still shining under the illumination of the miner's lamp.

I threw away the shovel and switched to a brush, which is a tool specially used to clean up cultural relics, many cultural relics have been buried deep in the ground for thousands of years, and the soil has already penetrated deep into the grain ravines of the vessel itself, so it is necessary to use this soft brush to clean up to ensure the integrity of the cultural relics themselves.

I used a brush to carefully clean the soil layer attached to the gold thread, and my heart chuckled with each layer of cleaning, my underwear was wet with cold sweat, and the tense atmosphere continued to spread outward, and the air around me seemed to be still.

The main reason why I am so nervous is that in ancient times, in addition to being used for the production of silk fabrics, gold thread also had a special purpose, that is, the lead of the tomb mechanism.

Although there was no real explosives in the Shang and Zhou dynasties more than 3,000 years ago, but the secret channel of the organ is the invention of our ancestors, I remember a few years ago in Shaanxi, a local Tufuzi once told me such a thing, he said that he was young and several people together found a Han tomb, the survey results at that time showed that the Han tomb was intact, there was no trace of theft and excavation.

After a few of them found out, it was called an excitement, and everything in the back had been planned before the hole was played, what to travel abroad, what to buy, marry a daughter-in-law, and so on.

Later, after the robbery hole was finished, several people discussed how to go down, one of them suggested that it was best to leave one on the ground to watch, at that time no one was willing to give up this rare opportunity, you know, to see a complete Han tomb is a rare opportunity, although these people are Tufuzi, but there is a little archaeological heart in their thoughts, and they also want to see the internal regulations of the real Han tomb.

The reason why he gave up this opportunity was mainly because his wife was pregnant, and before going out, his wife repeatedly told him not to fight, but to come back safely.

The man remembered his wife's words at the last moment, and because of this, he remained on the ground for three days and three nights, until on the fourth day, when he decided to go down to see the situation himself, and when he went down the thief's hole, he found that the men were already dead, and they were densely packed with hundreds of arrows, and they were in a miserable death.

Later, I also read an article in a magazine, which said that in ancient tombs, the most commonly used is the bow and crossbow array, a few golden threads affect the entire defense mechanism, if the intruder touches the mechanism, then it will be shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

I held the lamp and cleaned the dirt attached to the gold thread little by little, and half an hour later, a strange and shocking scene appeared.

A one-meter-square blue jade slab appeared in front of me, and above the slate was a large net woven with gold threads, which seemed to be buried in the soil, and I could not estimate its size, nor did I dare to dig without permission, because I was afraid that the gold wire control mechanism in the soil layer would be activated by my misoperation, and I had no choice but to suspend the work until there was a perfect solution.

I think there is a signal above, which means that there is a discovery here, and I am asking for help.

The cobra was lying on the edge of the pit and looking down, and he was wearing a pair of glasses, but his eyesight was so good that I even wondered if he was pretending.

"What is this?" The cobra leaned on the edge of the pit and looked down

"It's the Ghost Domain Star Map, I really didn't expect it to appear here, it seems" Jiang Yuan jumped up to me with his equipment box before he finished speaking, and said to me: "Boss Xiao, leave the rest to me, you go up first, it's too dangerous here." ”

I laughed a few times, raised my eyes and swept down Li Laosi, who was closing his eyes on the edge of the pit, and said in my heart, why didn't you worry about me when that old guy used me as cannon fodder just now, now that the matter is done, you are concerned about my safety.

But complaining is complaining, this heart is a little uneasy, leaning on the pit wall and lighting a cigarette, said: "Don't, this thing is also dug up by me, I have seen the mechanism in the ancient tomb demolished not a thousand but eight hundred, here or leave it to me, you, go up and wait for the news." ”

I thought he would turn it over without saying a word or refuse with sharp eyes, but I didn't expect that he didn't react at any of them, but looked at me silently, and then took out two pairs of scissors from his backpack, handed one of them to me, and said, "Since you won't go, then stay and help."

"These wires are usually held in place with gold pins, and each wire is the beginning of the next, and the last wire is the lead that connects the mechanism."

After I observed carefully, combined with what Jiang Yuan said, I nodded, "Yes, this kind of lead is generally hidden in one of the three parallel lines, as long as we can successfully find those three parallel lines, it is one of the three." ”

Jiang Yuan agreed, in fact, cracking this kind of mechanism is like a bomb disposal expert dismantling a bomb, there are many leads, but only one is true, if the dismantling is right, the crisis is resolved, and if you dismantle it wrong, you will lose everything.

The whole cracking process lasted nearly an hour, and every time I cut a gold thread, I felt like I had experienced a war, the second, the third, the fourth, the whole process went very smoothly, until the last three, Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"We were wrong." He looked at me very calmly and said these four words lightly.

I smiled and said, "Big brother, you're playing with me, it's all dismantled at this point, and you actually told me that it was wrong." ”

Jiang Yuan knelt beside the blue jade slab and leaned over to carefully observe the three golden threads, and said, "There are three more, one of which is the lead, and the other two are the auxiliary wires that pull this lead." ”

"So what? That's right, you see, three parallel leads, one of which is the key to the control mechanism, that's right. ”

Jiang Yuan pointed to one of the golden threads closest to us and said, "Take a closer look at this thread. ”

I looked at the letter suspiciously with a magnifying glass, and instantly gasped, "Damn, what the, this is actually two threads combined." ”

Jiang Yuan took the scissors and said to me: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you have to choose one, so be it." ”

After saying that, regardless of whether I agreed to cut it or not, I quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a while, how can you be sure that it is this thread, in case it is another one, choose one of three, oh no, it should be one of four, think again, think again." ”

Jiang Yuan took back the scissors, then sat next to the blue jade slab and looked at me with a smile, and said, "I forgot, you are better at cracking the mechanism than me, then okay, I'll leave it to you." ”

I was stunned, "What do you mean, you mean you don't care?" ”

Jiang Yuan smiled, jumped up two or three steps with his backpack on his back, and then stood on the edge of the pit and said to me, "Boss Xiao, this kind of difficult choice is not comfortable. ”

I had the heart to kill myself with scissors down there, and my heart said what the was going on.

The grasshopper was lying on the edge of the pit and was about to climb down, shouting as it crawled: "Boss, I'll help you, we are together in life and death." ”

I pointed at him with scissors and scolded: "You are an uneducated thing, all life and death are together, that is called living and dying together." ”

Jiang Yuan knew that the grasshopper would only cause chaos when it came down, so he reached out and lifted him up without waiting for him to start crawling down, and then said to me: "Boss Xiao, you were able to escape death four years ago, and today, you will definitely live up to expectations." ”

After he said this, my originally calm heart suddenly became irritable, not because I was afraid, but what he said reminded me of an experience, I looked at Jiang Yuan, and a very terrible thought suddenly popped up in my heart.
