Chapter 56: Suspicion Rises Again
The tomb bricks were pressed by the high four hands, and they were sunk into it to the depth of a finger. Immediately afterwards, the stone wall shook slightly, accompanied by a few "quack" sounds. The sound was the sound of metal grinding, very similar to the sound coming from a small sarcophagus. I expected that the mechanism was hidden in the stone wall, and this press continued, and it was already activated.
However, the activation was activated, but there was still no entrance to the tomb, not even the slightest trace. Gao Sishou angrily snorted at Brother Pony, and Brother Pony turned around to press the raised piece. Brother Xiao Ma did what Nong Xiaoling said, first breaking the bulge down, and then holding it and pushing it in.
It's just two very simple steps, but he's still doing it with great care. I can understand why he was so careful, I have seen movies where thieves open stolen safes, but the wrong steps turn out, and the safes are automatically blocked, and they can't be blown up with bombs.
Some even come with a GPS positioning system that automatically dials the police station, and then before you know it, you will hear a very sincere voice, "Hello, you have been surrounded, please raise your hands and walk out!" โ
Of course, it is impossible for the ancient authorities to call the police, but if the steps are wrong, they will be automatically blocked. Besides, even if there is a police station, it will not be accepted. The reason is simple, who cares about a person with a mouth full of Chinese? It's only when you're a madman and tells you that it's a crime to make a false report.
It's far away, back to the point.
Seeing that Brother Xiao Ma was about to push the bulge in, I was nervous, and a hole suddenly appeared under my feet, and I fell down with one foot in the air. I adjusted the sapper shovel to the style of a mountaineering pickaxe and held it tightly, and picked Nong Xiaoling up again, ready to wait for this moment.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response, and there was no sound. I thought that Brother Pony was playing tricks, but when I opened my eyes, I saw that the bulge had completely sunk in. What's going on? I turned my head to look at them, but they all looked at me suspiciously, as if they blamed me.
I rub! I couldn't understand it all of a sudden, and my heart said what to do with me? How do I know what's going on? Suddenly I thought that I was still holding Nong Xiaoling in my arms, they were looking at her! Gao Sishou seemed to be angry, and his face was ugly. I sighed in my heart, looking at his style, he wouldn't be trying to beat Nong Xiaoling, right?
I can't guarantee it, this person with high four hands can do whatever he wants, and his character is difficult to figure out. I thought about how to exonerate Nong Xiaoling? In the end, Gao Sishou exhaled lightly from his nose, and said patiently to Nong Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, where is the room you are talking about?" Where is it? โ
Nong Xiaoling didn't know that Gao Sishou was already angry, and she was still blinking innocently, and when she saw Gao Sishou asking her, she pointed to the road we came from and said, "It's in front." Gao Sishou hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked back. The three of us immediately followed, and I said in my heart, Xiaoling, I hope what you said is true, otherwise Gao Sishou will be really angry.
After walking more than ten meters, a stone handle really appeared on the stone wall, and the stone wall was sunk into about two to three centimeters, which looked like a door-like trace. Gao Sishou looked at it, his face was happy, and he grabbed the stone handle without hesitation and pulled it to the side, only to hear the "boom" sound, and a hole appeared.
As soon as the opening was opened, a fire came out of it, and it seemed that the entrance to the tomb was here. I'm already wondering what it's like inside, and whether there will be zongzi again. I have to say that the grave builder is really brilliant and scheming. If it weren't for Nong Xiaoling, we would never have been able to find this tomb.
If someone else arrives here, they will choose to open it when they see the protruding mechanism on the stone wall, but they will find that it is useless. They may share my belief that this is just a prank by the grave builders and choose to move on, or they may rack their brains to continue looking for the entrance to the tomb.
However, even if the two mechanisms were found and successfully opened, they would never have imagined that the entrance would be more than ten meters away. In the end, they had to give up and move on. Therefore, the odds of entering this tomb are undoubtedly the same as winning the first prize in a lottery ticket.
Since the tomb builder has put so much effort into it, it seems that the real coffin of the tomb owner should be inside. Just thinking about it, the third child patted me next to me, and I looked at it calmly, and Gao Sishou had opened the stone door enough for one person to enter and exit and Xiao Ma walked in.
"Do you want to go in?" The third asked. Now that we're all here, why don't you go in? I went through all the backpacks with bright utensils in Gao Si's hands, and there was nothing that Brother Xiao Ma describedโthe thing my parents wanted me to bring back. I nodded, "Come in!" โ
I think it was in the main burial chamber, and it was precious. In Little Pony's description, it should be a small object. If he was found by the senior four hands first, with his 'three hands' birth, he might have been hidden. Thinking of this, I hurriedly walked in with the third child.
As soon as you step inside, you will find that the specifications here are really different, and there are stone stairs down to the tomb. At this time, it occurred to me that something was wrong, not wrong, it was simply unbelievably unreasonable.
First of all, since the grave builder has the ability to build this anti-theft mechanism, it proves that the tomb builder has the ability to prevent theft, and can do it perfectly. But why are the two burial chambers above so easy to find? The entrance is also built on the cemetery, and it is difficult to find it! He could have made the two tombs above the entrance mechanism the same as here. If this is the case, then we will only come in and not find a single burial chamber, and then we will return disappointed that we have found nothing.
Secondly, all the way over, whether it is in the passage or in the tomb, it can be said that in addition to the mechanism to enter the tomb, there is not even a minimum anti-theft mechanism for falling rocks. Is it really as Brother Pony said, the mechanism is corroded and can't be activated? If so, what about the mechanism in the small sarcophagus above and the entrance to the tomb here? Not to mention here, the mechanism in the small sarcophagus has never stopped working!
Why is that? Is it deliberate? Is the purpose to be discovered? How is this possible! It's not too unreasonable to be too late to prevent theft and still want to be discovered. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the scolding of Gao Sishou.
I came to my senses and found myself in the burial chamber before I knew it. Turn your head and look, I'm rubbing! No wonder the senior four hands will scold, there is nothing in such a secret tomb built! In fact, it is not right to say anything, except for the ever-bright lanterns hanging on the stone wall, some are just bones, piled up into piles of bones.
This burial chamber has the same layout as the two burial chambers above, and it is also a four-room auxiliary chamber and a main chamber in the shape of a 'ๅฑฎ'. Unlike the two burial chambers above, whether it is the main chamber or the four auxiliary chambers, there are piles of bones, and each pile looks like there are dozens of bones.
Some of these bones are black in the throat bone and chest cavity, which is expected to be poisoned, and some of the bones have obvious scratches on the throat bone, which is obviously killed by cutting the throat. If you were to add up the bones, I would estimate that they would be at least between two hundred and three hundred.
Around the pile of bones were more than a dozen skeletons in leather armor and some scattered swords and spears. Fortunately, the clothing on these bones has not completely decayed, and based on their number and clothing, it is easy to judge that most of these bones are slaves and maids who accompany the burial and a small number of soldiers.
It's easy to imagine that I have in my mind the image of a dozen soldiers carrying hundreds of slaves and maids here, and then killing them in various ways as burials, and when it is over, these soldiers also cut their throats and kill themselves.
The thought of this makes me even more strange! The tomb with low secrecy also has a place where the noble concubine is placed. This highly secret tomb is filled with a group of low-status slaves and soldiers who don't even have a coffin. What does it mean? This is simply nonsensical!
I told the three of them about the doubts in my heart, and the three of them were stunned, and Gao Sishou frowned and said, "Brother Shao said this, it's really like this." He turned his head to Pony to see what he was thinking.
Brother Xiao Ma also looked puzzled, and when he saw that we were all staring at him, he said, "Could it be that the tomb owner is acting with the mentality of a tomb robber?" โ
"What do you mean?" Gao Sishou asked. As soon as I heard Brother Xiaoma's words, my heart couldn't help but move, and I said, "You mean, the tomb owner knows that his tomb will be found sooner or later, so he set these things up with the mentality of a tomb robber?" โ
Before Brother Xiao Ma could reply, the third child opened his mouth first, and he laughed and said, "I know what you two mean!" When Gao Sishou heard this, he was even more anxious, "What do you mean?" What are you talking about? โ
The third brother looked at Brother Xiaoma, and Brother Xiaoma nodded and motioned for the third brother to continue. The third child smiled slightly and said, "Brother Gao, this is to be analyzed by ordinary people and clever tomb robbers. What would happen if an ordinary person accidentally discovered this place and entered here, and then fell into the first burial chamber and saw a dried corpse? โ
Gao Sishou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Frightened, quit quickly?" The third nodded and said, "What if it's a clever tomb robber?" โ
Gao Si waved his hand, "I don't know about others, I know that this is a treasure cave, there is nothing in the first tomb, and there is no end to the bottom, I will continue to walk." โ
I immediately said, "So you will find the second burial chamber, and the specifications of the second burial chamber are easy to believe that it is the tomb owner, and when you get so many benefits, you will naturally withdraw happily." I sighed and continued, "So, there are no traps all the way down, so I don't want to attract attention." At all times, human death is the most noticeable. โ
Gao Sishou nodded knowingly and said: "It seems that there is a little truth, then the explanations of the above two tombs are passed, so what is going on in this place?" Since he is not the real owner of the tomb, he should also implement an open-door policy, so why be so secretive? โ
As soon as the question of the senior fourth hand came out, everyone fell into a long thought. Actually, I have a hypothesis in my mind, but I don't think it's possible to think about it. My inference is that the owner of the tomb killed so many people to bury him, and he was afraid that future generations would scold him, so he built this tomb extremely secret.
Just thinking about whether to say my idea, Brother Pony frowned, "Huh? He snorted, and then ran into the separate room
