Seeing the door of the dark room open, the old ghost and I froze. With the crystal stone of Atlantis, this dark room was really opened! Who would have thought that the Imperial Power Stone of a thousand years ago would be the key to unlocking the ancient Egyptian pyramids?

If it weren't for our previous special experience, we accidentally stumbled into the Bermuda Triangle, sank to the bottom of the sea and entered Atlantis to find this crystal stone, there really would be no way to open the stone door of this dark room. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? It's hard to believe the coincidence. If it hadn't really happened, none of us would have believed it.

I even wondered, could this really be a coincidence? Is it a deliberate arrangement by man, or is it a certain number of fate that is difficult to escape? One qiē seems to be a coincidence, and it seems to be an arrangement that has long been fatalized.

When the old ghost and I saw this scene, we couldn't help but be stunned and stood on the spot.

"Be careful!" Qian Cheng suddenly shouted, and we hurriedly turned around to look at him.

I saw Qian Cheng desperately bumping over, leaving me and the old ghost defenseless, and he knocked me to the ground. The flashlight in our hands was also thrown out of the distance, and the light of the flashlight slowly shook in the dark chamber.

Since I hadn't come down from the old ghost's neck yet, I fell the hardest. There was a pain in my flesh and muscles, and I was thrown on my back.

"Damn, what are you smoking...... old ghost didn't know why, so he wanted to question Qian Cheng a little angrily.

At this moment, there was a soft sound of "whoosh, whoosh...... and then the sound of the wall being beaten to the point of "beep". The voice was hurried and messy, in the faint light. It was as if we were seeing something flying overhead.

After the sound stopped, he dared to stand up slowly. Shine a flashlight around, and I can't help but break out in a cold sweat! It turned out that it was nothing else that made a soft sound, but a common trap crossbow in ancient tombs! Those "whoosh" and "beep" sounds are cold arrows from the dark crossbow. At this moment, it is firmly inserted into the wall.

Such a thick, sturdy stone wall can be penetrated into it. It can be seen that the hardness of this crossbow arrow and the strength of its firing are so great, if it were shot on our flesh, would it not be shot through?

"Damn, these damn pharaohs. It's really vicious! The old ghost scolded. This unconscionable design, all of them are life-threatening! ”

Normally, crossbows like this are only found in ancient tombs. These ancient tombs are generally the tombs of ancient princes and generals. There are a large number of rare treasures as funerary goods. Of course. It is also full of institutions and dangers.

The crossbow was touched. A crossbow will be shot from the hidden place in the burial chamber. Just now, it almost killed us. It's scary to think about, carelessly. It will be shot back to the west.

It was only then that we figured out that the chamber was part of the Pharaoh's tomb.

As people often say, ancient tombs refer to the kind of tombs that are representative and valuable for research, also known as "ancient mounds".

The Chinese have a unique funeral custom, that is, entering the soil for peace. Therefore, before the Republic of China, it could be called an ancient tomb, and the Republic of China could not be called an ancient tomb until now. The European continent specifically refers to the cemeteries of the prehistoric period, and the ancient tombs in China are generally of historical research value.

The ancient tombs were in the Qin and Han dynasties, and most of them were tombs of the bucket type.

The cover bucket is the shape of the mound, like the bucket of measuring rice turned over and covered on it, the four sides see the prism, and the top is a small square platform. Some resemble the pyramids of Egypt, but with an extra side in China, but they are strikingly similar to the pyramids in the Mayan civilization, the "lost civilization" found in South America. No one can guess the connection.

In the early 19th century, a European explorer once described it this way: "The stone tombs that can be seen everywhere in the desert, large and small, are innumerable, and more than half of them are buried under the yellow sand, revealing the black spires outside, like a miniature version of the Egyptian pyramids, passing through the desert lined with stone tombs, the scene is breathtaking." ”

The burial chambers of ancient civilians were generally designed according to the houses of the living. There is a main room, a back room, and two ear rooms, and the coffin of the tomb owner is parked in the center of the main room.

The aristocracy is huge, the tomb of the underground palace is divided into three parts, the door hangs a jack gate, enter from the gate, first of all, a "Ming Palace" (Hades Temple), according to the layout of the hall of the tomb owner's home before his death, there are various furniture furnishings, these utensils are called "Ming Vessels" (Mortal Vessels).

Further inside, the burial chamber in the middle, called the "dormitory", is where the coffin is placed. This is followed by the "Side Hall", which is a place dedicated to the burial goods. Murals In the Tang and Song dynasties, most of the princely tombs had murals to record the life of the tomb owner.

It is no wonder that Egypt and China are the four major ancient civilizations in the world. However, from the structure and culture of this tomb, there is a certain similarity. In this Egyptian tomb, there are also murals, which are basically carved to describe the life of the pharaoh.

The mechanism technique is a representative of ancient China's scientific and technological civilization, and the major ancient civilizations have also followed suit. Whether it is in production, life, military or even a place where it is needed, we can see it.

The use of mechanical power, skillfully controlling things, and achieving magical results, is the contribution of the ancients to the world. And this contribution comes from their profound observation and reflection on nature. That's why the trick is so profound.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, people began to set up some active defense facilities in the tombs, which not only served the purpose of shooting tomb robbers, but also set an example to scare those who attempted to rob tombs.

The crossbow appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the crossbow machine that could control the shooting was already a relatively dexterous mechanical device. The principle of firing a crossbow is the same as that of a bow, but it can shoot farther and more lethal than a bow and arrow, and overcome the weakness of being limited and unable to last when drawing a bow.

In China, the actual combat of the bow and crossbow is found in the Historical Records. Qin Shi Huang Benji": When Xu Shi took thousands of boys and girls to the East China Sea to ask for "elixir", because he met a big shark in Penglai, he asked Yingzheng to send an archer to go with him.

The lethality of the bow and crossbow is so powerful that naturally Yingzheng will not use this device when building his own mausoleum to shoot people who try to enter the tomb. What kind of situation was the case with the bows and crossbows installed in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is still uncertain.

According to scholars' estimates, the range of this bow and crossbow should be greater than 800 meters, and the tension should be more than 700 catties. If the crossbows equipped with arrows are connected one by one, and the crossbows are fired in clusters or bursts through the guò machine, the purpose of unmanned operation and self-vigilance can be achieved.

This kind of "machine crossbow arrow" is actually a "dark crossbow".

Because the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has a large number of rare treasures, in order to prevent theft, this kind of triggering weapon is placed in the tomb door and at the entrance of the passage. Once a grave robber enters the tomb, he will run into a tripwire attached to the trigger of the crossbow and will be subjected to heavy fire. This practice was inherited by the later Han and Tang tombs, and developed to install a wheel in the coffin to shoot tomb robbers.

The so-called engine is to install several tools like modern pulleys on the inner wall of the coffin, the pulley is placed on one side of the bow and crossbow poison arrows, and the rope is connected to the bow and crossbow and the coffin cover plate through the guò pulley. Once the tomb robbers enter the underground palace to uncover the coffin, the rope will pass through the guò turbine and trigger a salvo of arrows from the bow and crossbow to kill the person who has been infected with the coffin.

Of course, if the tomb robbers know the inside story, as long as they are cautious and think of "cutting off their chances", they will stop everything, steal and dig at will, and make a fortune.

In view of the limitations of crossbow firing, the tomb owners of successive dynasties have invented a series of anti-tomb robbery hidden weapons such as chain flaps and iron cable hanging stones on this basis.

The chain flap is a trap set up in the cemetery, and a knife and cone about 10 cm long are distributed under the pit. The upper layer of the pit is covered with several planks, with a shaft in the middle of the plank, and a small object of the same weight is decorated with a balance scale, and there is a cover on the board. If a grave robber stepped on a plank, one end of the board would flip over, and the person would fall into the cone of the pit, and the sharp blade would penetrate the chest and internal organs of the grave robber, and the chance of crawling out alive was almost zero.

During the period of the Republic of China, when the peasants in Qingzhou, Shandong Province were cultivating the fields, they found a large mound in Yunmen Mountain, and the flap with a shaft was found in the cemetery, and there was a pit under the board, and the pit was densely covered with sharp blades. At that time, there was a lot of water in the pit, and when the water was drained, it was found that the skeletons of two people were lying on their backs and lying in the sharp blades, with shovels, hammers, ropes and other tools around them, apparently carried by tomb robbers.

However, the tomb was still excavated, and there were few artifacts left in the tomb.

The cleaners found that there were two wooden ladders connected under the chain flap, and the wooden ladders had decayed, but the shape could still be seen, which was undoubtedly a solution that the tomb robbers later came up with. As long as the wooden ladder is put into the tomb road, and the tomb robbers enter along the ladder, it is like walking on the ground, and a flap and a trap and a sharp blade are all in vain and useless.

From this point of view, the battle of wisdom between tomb robbers and anti-tomb robbers is really amazing.

Although we are not tomb robbers, since we have entered this ancient tomb, we have inadvertently been regarded as tomb robbers. As the saying goes, "A sword doesn't have long eyes". It doesn't matter if you're a tomb robber or not, as long as you enter the ancient tomb, you're an uninvited guest.

We just worked hard to open the door, but we didn't expect to rush up and give us a "ten thousand arrows". If it weren't for Qian Cheng's quick response, it is estimated that we would have become hedgehogs by this time. It's really scary to think about it, what is this called? No wonder people often say: "The ancient tomb is as dangerous as the sea"!

Such a start really gave us a disadvantage. We narrowly escaped this, but we don't know what will come our way next. The three of them were a little apprehensive about such a secret weapon, and they didn't speak. However, in order to be able to find the two missing female companions, we had to move on.
