Chapter XXIII New Options
I jumped out of the coffin with my body propped up and asked everyone with concern, "How is it?" No one was hurt, right? The speed just now is indeed a bit fast, and the power should be not small. ā
Everyone shook their heads, still smiling at me, admiring the dirty way I looked.
I ignored them, and walked around the coffin myself to see the lid that flew out, and the bronze mirror on it, hoping it wouldn't be damaged.
Maybe the lid of the coffin made of stone will be broken, and the bronze mirror will be removed more easily, I thought to myself. At this time, the bronze mirror held a far greater place in my heart than the jewels contained in the coffin.
But when I looked at the back of the coffin, I saw a picture that I didn't expect.
The lid of the coffin disappeared, and even the wall behind it disappeared, and the wall that had blocked us became a square aisle, and at the other end of the aisle was a step downward, I don't know how long, but it could be seen, and there was a cold white glimmer inside.
My mood at this time can no longer be described by surprise, it is simply horror.
I pointed down the aisle and asked, "What's going on?" Where's the coffin lid? ā
Yan Qiu explained: "You fell into the coffin just now and didn't see it. The lid of the coffin was shot into the wall, just in the slot in the wall. Originally, the aisle was blocked, but it suddenly sank as if it were a door, but the door was a bit thick, the same length as the aisle. ā
Yan Qiu didn't quite understand, but I already understood, what she meant was that the lid of the coffin was actually a key, and the slot left on the wall was originally a keyhole.
When Jiang Rou poured the wine on the bronze mirror and penetrated through the gap next to it, the hidden mechanism in the coffin was activated, and the lid popped straight back, just like inserting a key, into the wall.
The aisle in front of me was originally blocked by a rectangular bluestone stack, but because the coffin lid was inserted into the center of the stack, and the mechanism in the brick stack was triggered, the bluestone stack sank into the ground as a whole, revealing the back aisle and the next road.
Jiang Li asked me, "Shall we continue to walk inside?" Or do you want to go out and continue on the road? ā
I waved my hand at Jiang Li, signaling her to wait first, and then sat on the steps next to the coffin by leaning on the coffin, and said, "There is too much information in this, we must sort it out and see if there are any hints in it?" It's too dangerous to make a rash choice, and although the mechanism here is not harmful, there is a high chance of accidents. ā
The fat brother sat next to me and agreed with me: "Let's take care of it, this happened too suddenly, I haven't figured out what is going on in the tomb, and a new road has appeared, and the door locks are so strangely designed, I think it must be unusual inside." ā
I turned my head and asked Jiang Rou, "What did you do just now?" I see you poured wine, how can you make the coffin lid pop up? ā
Jiang Rou said to me: "It must be a reed-like mechanism designed inside the lid, I don't think it's necessarily the wine that works, maybe it's the mercury inside, the specific internal structure, you have to look at the design drawings to know, I can't guess." ā
I thought about it for a while, Jiang Rou's explanation is still relatively reliable, after all, the facts are in front of me, the rest of the tomb is empty, except for the mechanism inside the coffin lid is triggered, there are really no extra options.
I made up my mind, and asked Jiang Rou again: "Then you mean that the woman's blush shown on the bronze mirror is actually a signal triggered by the internal organ?" Can this be explained? ā
Jiang Rou smiled and said, "I don't know about this, according to my guess, that blush is not a signal, but a conceit of the builder." ā
"Conceited? How? The fat brother asked.
Jiang Rou glanced at the fat brother and continued: "It is actually very simple to make the person in the painting blush when he encounters alcohol, and there was this method in ancient times to show the special ability of the painter, which is actually a trick. ā
Originally, the cinnabar and flame nitrate were mashed and evenly mixed according to the ratio of one to three, and then poured into the self-brewed old wine, mixed into a kind of mud, poured into the vessel, buried in the soil that could shine into the sun, and dug it out after a month, if it was damp, it could be used, but generally the wine gas would volatilize, so it was necessary to add some more wine and stir it evenly with a stone tool.
When painting, first put a layer of shell powder on the paper, in ancient times it was called Hu powder is a white pigment, and then use the prepared wine cinnabar to coat the upper layer, after the paper is dried, there is no trace, this paper is completely finished painting paper.
When someone brings the wine to the front of the painting, the chemical components infiltrated in the paper will react with the wine, and the white face of the person in the painting will turn red, as if he is really drunk, and when the wine disappears, the picture will be restored to the original white.
Jiang Rou's original words were: "It sounds very troublesome, but in fact, it is much simpler and easier to achieve than the method of leaving a portrait in a bronze mirror." ā
Yan Qiu asked: "Then do you say that the bronze mirror is poured to the bottom by using the method of leaving a portrait in the mirror, or is it using the method of turning red when the smell of wine is used?" ā
Jiang Rou said: "I'm afraid that both methods have been used, what I'm talking about is just my method, maybe the person who paints the picture in the mirror has other formulas, which can produce both effects at the same time, otherwise why do I say that he is conceited?" The old people all said that they were very energetic and eight points, leaving two points to raise their children and grandchildren. I think this guy has shaken out all his skills, no one must have praised him before his death, he has an inferiority complex, and he cares about what he lacks. ā
Su Rina's understanding of this knowledge is relatively slow, and it is estimated that she was also a scumbag when she went to school, otherwise she would have been a white-collar worker and would not have done this.
She frowned and said, "I heard you talk about chemistry, why did you get to psychology again?" I have studied psychology, but from the current evidence analysis, this person is not necessarily what Jiang Rou's sister said, maybe this ability is just a drop in his hand, and there will be more in the future. ā
I said to everyone: "As long as it can be explained, then there is nothing to discuss, it has nothing to do with which path we choose, now we understand that everything is the setting of the organ, and there is no zĆ i god and ghost theory, and then we have to rely on Yan Qiu's experience to judge, how to go in the end." ā
I threw the choice to Yan Qiu, after all, the structure and concept of the ancient tomb, Yan Qiu is a real professional person, and the chance of making a mistake is still much smaller if the treasure is pressed on her.
Yan Qiu thought for a moment and said: "Since the door has been opened, I still build yƬ and continue to walk inside, this female corpse is clearly a burial, and there is no harmful mechanism in this room, I think the designer's focus is not in the category of violent tomb guarding, it should be the use of ingenious mechanisms to hide the road to the main tomb, and it is unlikely that there will be danger inside." I want to continue walking inside, because I think the next step is to enter the main room, since the door is open, it is better to go in and have a look, maybe there is something new, we also have a long time to see and open our eyes, if there is any clue to determine who the tomb owner is, then the possibility of our escape may increase. ā
In fact, I don't agree with her choice, according to my character, I must finish the outside road first, and then go to the main tomb, after all, the farther you go inside, the farther away from the exit.
But I just gave Yan Qiu the choice, and if I forcibly oppose it now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, anyway, it's a headless fly, and the difference between where to go is not very big, and the white light emitted from it really attracts me a little, and I'm also curious about what incredible things we can see next?
I stood up and patted my buttocks, and said to everyone, "Then let's listen to Yan Qiu, go in and worship the tomb owner, and see where he is sacred?" But there is a sentence I have to remind everyone, you still can't take it lightly, Yan Qiu said that the possibility of danger is not very likely, that doesn't mean that there is no danger, in case this is someone's delaying strategy, when we relax our vigilance and make another big move, we can't catch it. ā
Everyone had no objections, and gathered in a group and walked into the newly emerged aisle.
The aisle is only six or seven meters long, and the cross-section is square.
The building structure here is a bit special, including the two door openings in front, both of which are flat-roofed, which is different from the vaults we have seen in the past, indicating that this is definitely the architectural structure of another civilization, which is very far from the ancient culture of our country, and we cannot judge this ancient tomb with our inherent thinking.
