Chapter 15: The Three-Story Tomb
It's been almost a quarter of an hour since Xiang Ji went down, but there was no movement here at all, and Jing Xiu next to him said a little worriedly: "He's okay with the camera, there's no news after going down for so long." β
I know it's not that Jingxiu cares about Xiang Ji so much, with his skills, even if the entire tomb collapses and the two of us hang up, Xiang Ji will definitely be able to go out, probably because of the black light, I'm a little afraid to find something to say.
"Don't worry, it's fine." Hearing my words, Jing Xiu's nervous mood seemed to calm down, and I continued: "Didn't I give you two lighters, you light them for lighting." β
"En" Jingxiu obediently replied, and then a spark lit up in front of me, and after a few hits, the firelight suddenly appeared, illuminating her little face red, like a big apple.
I was distracted for a while, and at this juncture, my hand tightened, and I knew that it was Xiang Ji who sent me a signal telling us that he was going to prepare to drop rocks, and I also said to Jing Xiu: "Be careful, the camera is about to drop stones, you stand firm." β
Seeing that Jingxiu was ready, I also pulled the rope a few times, signaling Xiang Ji below to move, Xiang Ji's action was very fast, I just sent a signal here, and he did it below, only to hear a sound of gold and iron colliding, and the falling rocks under our feet fell a block away. The hand is also tight, and now Xiang Ji is relying on this rope to maintain his position, and I have to pull it steady.
Then there was the sound of falling rocks hitting the slate, but there was no other sound to come, and I knew that the weight of a rolling stone could not do anything about the slate, so I used all my strength to pull Xiang Ji up, and I was very surprised. "Don't look at Xiang Jiren's tall horse, but his weight is not heavy at all, what did he eat to grow up."
Although I was thinking crankily in my heart, the work in my hands did not stop, and after a while, as soon as the rope was light, I knew that Xiang Ji had come to the second rolling stone, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiang Ji below to come to the signal again.
This time, Jingxiu didn't wait for my reminder, she was ready, I also nodded at her, and after a while, the same sound came, but this time there was not only the sound of rolling stones crashing, but also the sound of them landing. "Knock knock" Both rolling stones fell into the passage below.
After waiting for a while, Xiang Ji shouted below. "Come down quickly, it's safe here for now."
Then I pulled the rope up, handed the other end to Jingxiu and said, "You go down first, I'll pull on it, be careful." β
"Okay, then I'll go down first." After speaking, she put the rope on herself very neatly, lit the lighter and climbed down carefully, the speed was very fast, it can be seen that she usually exercises a lot.
I can know from the rope in my hand that Jingxiu did not stumble, and went down safely, I was not ambiguous, pulled the rope down again, lit the lighter, and observed, except for an equipment bag, there was nothing left, this is our only material, we can't lose it.
After tying it up, I also hung the equipment bag down, and then the rope in my hand was loosened and slipped down, I also lit a lighter and began to climb down, the process needless to say, although my physique is the worst among the three, but this point of rock climbing is still not a problem, and after coming out, I found that this is also a road, and the above is almost the same.
"Hey, this is a double tomb?" I asked in surprise, touched the wall with my hand, and found that it was cold and cold, and I was very puzzled.
"Hehe, Miki, you're too naΓ―ve." Xiang Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We're going to be out of luck."
Originally, I was still quite annoyed when I heard the previous sentence, I thought to myself. "Where am I naΓ―ve, there are two layers of tombs, although I have not seen it, but I have never eaten pork, I have always seen pigs run, I have heard of tombs of this size."
Seeing that none of us knew about the double-layer tomb, Xiang Ji was also impatient, beckoned us to go over and sit on the side, and began to tell about the double-layer tomb he knew.
"You know, a double tomb doesn't mean that there are two upper and lower layers of a double tomb."
"So what is a double tomb?" I interjected and asked.
"Three Floors"
"Ah, three ~ three floors?" Hearing such contradictory words, Jing Xiu exclaimed directly.
Don't say it's Jingxiu, I'm also a little confused. "What double-layered, three-layered you say clearly, know that you have culture, don't show off."
"Hehe" Xiang Ji laughed a few times, "The double-layer tomb is more advanced than the single-layer tomb in that there are many traps and traps. Just like the trap we stepped on when we first came in, in a sense, it is the second layer of the single-layer tomb, the traditional Chinese tomb, there is no such thing as the single-layer tomb, as long as there is a trap, a pit will be dug out, no matter how big the hole is, then this tomb is a double-layer tomb. β
I've also come back to the taste, and there is still such knowledge in emotional tombology. "It's a pity that what we are advocating now is cremation, where do we go to learn the traditional burial science, and it is divided in such detail, it seems that your family is very mysterious."
But thinking about it, I brought the question up. "So is there anything special about this double-layer tomb, that is, the three-story tomb, you said?"
"Well, the three woods have grown a lot." Xiang Ji pointed to the wall next to him and said: "The special feature of the three-story tomb is that it is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, the upper layer is a virtual tomb, the middle layer is a mechanism tomb, and the lower layer is a real tomb. β
"Wait, what do you mean, what do you mean by a virtual tomb?" Jing Xiu, who listened to it for a while, couldn't help but speak, these things can't be learned in books, so don't take this opportunity to study hard now.
Xiang Ji also didn't sell Guan Zi, explaining: "The shape and specifications between the upper virtual tomb and the lower real tomb are the same, and the biggest difference is the direction of the mechanism and the number of artifacts. β
"The upper level of the mechanism is under the feet, and the opening of the mechanism is controlled by weight, although there is also danger, but as long as the person is nimble, even if he steps on the mechanism, he can escape, but the lower level of the mechanism is on it, and the switch can be controlled by air and sound, making it difficult to guard."
"Damn, this is too fake, there was still voice control in ancient times?" I didn't believe it and just exploded into a foul mouth.
Xiang Ji looked at me very strangely and said very seriously: "Have you forgotten the bronze tomb door?" β
These words gagged my mouth tightly, yes, that bronze tomb door can even be killed by the current high technology, and it can also emit bioelectricity, so what else can't the people of ancient times do, I wonder why the people of ancient times were so smart, how to use all the knowledge of the ancient tomb to prevent theft.
I also carefully recalled Xiang Ji's words, and suddenly thought of something, and asked in a lost voice: "You said that the spirit weapon is different?" β
"Yes, whether it is a double-storey tomb or a three-story tomb, the good things are in the actual tomb at the bottom, and the top is just a handout given to you by the owner of the tomb." Xiang Ji's expression was very weak, if I could beat him, I would definitely go up and fight him.
The regret in my heart, there is an urge to steal the bucket that I have poured before, but Xiang Ji's next words made my heart a little smoother.
"Don't think that a tomb is divided into upper and lower layers, this kind of high-level tombs are all used by princes and generals, like some high-ranking officials and nobles are single-story tombs." After speaking, he looked at the wall with complicated eyes, as if there was a beautiful woman on it.
Xiang Ji's small move was still captured by the careful Jingxiu, so he asked. "Camera, why do you always look at that wall."
"Hey, you know about the virtual tomb and the real tomb, so do you know what the trap tomb is about?"
Jing Xiu and I were both staring at each other, this was the first time I had heard of the trap, how could I know, but I still said: "It should be the hub center where the trap is placed, right?" β
"Well, that's pretty much the case." Xiang Ji reluctantly smiled, and then looked at the wall again, looking very anxious.
Affected by his expression, I was also a little upset and asked directly, "What are you worried about?" Is there any danger behind this wall? β
"Forget it, the one who should come will come eventually, so I'll tell you." Xiang Ji sighed heavily and continued: "Do you know what the ancient organs are driven by? β
"It's supposed to be water, right?" Jingxiu came as soon as she opened her mouth, without hesitation at all, but the guess in my heart was also this.
Xiang Ji closed his eyes and replied slowly: "Yes, it's water." β
"Water," I said to myself, and then looked at the wall, and then thought of the abnormal temperature on the wall when I first came in, and suddenly shivered, looking at the wall as if I had seen a flood beast.
