Chapter 208: The Secret Door to the Tomb
Looking at Chen Biao's back, the more I look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes, this guy is not only extremely ruthless, but also arrogant, thinking that he has a high-tech mercury gun in his hand and does not put the drought in his eyes, maybe he will suffer a big loss.
We all followed him all the way on, and in a short time we reached the end of the corridor, where a dark brown earthen wall blocked the way.
Ouyang Yi was holding a silver metal cane in his hand, he raised the cane and knocked on the earthen wall, leaned over and sniffed it, frowned and said: "It's the King Kong Wall, presumably the person guarding the tomb discovered this door, so he sealed the passage with King Kong soil." ā
"Then how do we get in, or blow this wall open?" Wei Zi said to yƬ.
"Explode?" The dragon, who was standing beside Ouyang Yi, glanced at Weizi and asked rhetorically, "Do you know how thick this King Kong Wall is?" ā
Weizi shook his head.
Ryuichi said: "Vajra is a kind of mixed soil made by adding glutinous rice juice and other kinds of flower juice to the soil, and in ancient times, it was often used to build city walls, tomb Vajra walls, etc., which is somewhat similar to modern concrete. It's hard, invulnerable, and extremely scalable. I estimate that this wall is at least a meter thick. How much explosives do you think you'll need to blow it up? ā
Hearing Long Yi say this, Weizi was stunned for a moment, if you want to blast through a meter thick concrete, even if I am a layman, I know that it is not an easy task, without 100 kilograms of high explosives, I am afraid that it is almost impossible, and if so many explosives explode, before the wall is blown up, the corridor may have already collapsed.
Chen Biao clenched his fists, slammed twice on the earthen wall, and said, "Otherwise, find a team of engineers to come and chisel this wall open." ā
Ouyang Yi waved his hand and said, "It's not proper, this matter is very important, and you can't let too many people know." ā
"Then we'll do it ourselves and chisel this King Kong wall!"
Wen Qingshan said with a smile: "Hehe, it's not easy for a few of us to chisel a diamond wall nearly one meter thick, but I think we don't have to chisel this diamond wall to enter the tomb." ā
When Ouyang Yi heard this, he immediately asked, "What good idea does Mr. Wen have?" ā
Wen Qingshan said: "In my opinion, this diamond wall is just to hide people's eyes, in fact, there are other entrances to enter the tomb. ā
"Why do you think so?" Ryuichi asked.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "The cold in this passage is oppressive, it should be caused by the communication with the tomb, and besides, it is very likely that the drought is hidden in the tomb, since this King Kong wall has not been damaged, if there is no other entrance to enter the tomb, then how did it get in?" ā
"Maybe the marls didn't even enter the tomb!" Ryuichi said.
"If it didn't enter the tomb, where is it hiding?" Wen Qingshan asked rhetorically.
Long Yiyi couldn't answer for a while, and Wen Qingshan said again: "There were livestock that were bitten to death by it before, but in the past few days, it has not been heard from at all, no one has seen it, and there has been no incident of people being bitten by zombies. What more place do you think is more suitable in Xiangsha City than this tomb? ā
After listening to Wen Qingshan's analysis, Ouyang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Wen's analysis is not unreasonable, then let's look around and see if we can find the secret door to enter the tomb." Speaking of this, he immediately changed his words: "However, everyone must be more careful, if there is anything found, report it first!" Don't act rashly. ā
According to Wen Qingshan's analysis, the entrance to the tomb should be located on the wall on the side of the corridor, but we groped for a long time, but we found nothing abnormal.
Everyone was wondering, when suddenly a strange sound sounded like the howl of a man and the roar of some beast.
The atmosphere immediately became tense, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and they all held their weapons in their hands.
Weizi lowered his voice and asked, "What is the voice!?" ā
Long Yi guessed, "Could it be that the drought is calling?" When he said this, he looked at me, as if to ask me questions. After all, I've been exposed to droughts before, and he must have thought I should be familiar with the sounds of droughts.
I thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember that the droughts ever called like that. ā
"If it's not a drought, then what would it be? Could it be that there are still living beasts down there? ā
Ouyang Yi turned his head and asked Wen Qingshan: "Mr. Wen, you are well-informed, what do you think is likely to be the voice?" ā
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, I don't know what the sound is, but this just confirms my guess." There must be some other entrance leading into the tomb, and this one is nearby, otherwise we wouldn't have heard it. ā
"That's right! That's right! Then let's look for it again! ā
Originally, we were all going to give up, but now after listening to Wen Qingshan's analysis, everyone immediately came to their senses again and continued to search.
I was cautiously groping for the wall, when I suddenly found that on the floor not far away, there seemed to be a golden light on the floor, under the illumination of electric light, out of curiosity, I hurriedly ran over, picked it up and looked at it, and I couldn't help but be surprised, it was actually a watch!
The watch was so covered with dirt that I couldn't even see the dial, and I didn't know what brand it was.
I was a little surprised and said, "What's going on!" Could it be that there were already watches in the Qianlong period? ā
Hearing me say this, Wen Qingshan immediately came over and took the watch from my hand, he carefully wiped off the soil stained on the watch, and then looked at it, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "Why is my watch here!?" ā
"What! Boss Wen: You said this watch is yours? I was also taken aback, hurriedly leaned my head over, and carefully looked at the watch that had been wiped clean by Wen Qingshan, it really seemed that I had seen it somewhere, speaking of which, Wen Qingshan likes to collect watches very much, and there are many watches in the house, and he often wears them, so I can't be sure if this watch is his.
Wen Qingshan replied: "I wore this watch that night when I was dealing with the drought, but then it disappeared, I always thought that I accidentally dropped it, but I didn't expect to pick it up here." ā
"Could it be that the drought was snatched from you first, and then thrown in this place casually?"
Wen Qingshan frowned and groaned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and immediately squatted down and checked it in front of the wall where I had just picked up the watch.
"What's wrong with Boss Wen!?" I asked, puzzled.
Wen Qingshan replied without raising his head: "You are right, it is indeed possible that this watch was taken away by the drought and thrown here. This means that the Dryfish once passed through here, and it is likely that he entered the tomb from here! ā
"What!? You mean the secret door to enter the tomb is on this wall!? "I was taken aback.
Wen Qingshan's words attracted the attention of the others, and everyone gathered around, Ouyang Yi asked, "Mr. Wen, have you found the entrance?" ā
Wen Qingshan did not answer Ouyang Yi directly, but pointed his hand to the root of the wall and said, "Look here!" ā
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and then I noticed that where the root of the wall met the floor, there was a groove about 20 centimeters wide and two or three centimeters deep.
"What is this? Is it for drainage? I said curiously.
Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "This passage is very dry, where does the water come from!" In my opinion, this should be the door slot after the secret door is opened! ā
"Door slot!?" When Ouyang Yi heard this, he immediately knocked on the blue brick wall with the groove with the metal crutch in his hand, and immediately heard the sound of "dong dong".
It's not obvious, but it's audible, it's supposed to be a hollow wall.
Ouyang Yi immediately said: "I'm afraid this is really where the entrance is!" Let's hurry up and find out where the mechanism to open the secret door is!
Wen Qingshan added: "Don't let go of any bricks!" ā
Finally there was a little eyebrow, and everyone was energetic, and they all groped around the walls very carefully.
Speaking of this kind of mechanism, I have also seen that when I was in Shao Yuanjie's mausoleum, almost all the mechanisms used to open each tomb were arranged on the blue brick wall, and according to my experience, if one of the green bricks could be pressed, it was often the mechanism that opened the secret door. It's just that the blue bricks on the walls of this corridor are piled up very unevenly, unevenly, and it looks as if each piece can be pressed, but when you really press it with your hand, there is no response.
Everyone was fumbling with each other, and suddenly there was a "crunch" sound from the wall, which I was all too familiar with, it was the sound of the mechanism activating!
Everyone stopped moving, and Wen Qingshan asked in a low voice, "Who found the mechanism!?" ā
Weizi on the side replied: "I didn't feel anything, but I stepped on a little loose floor tile, I don't know ......" Before he finished speaking, the wall that was attached to the groove suddenly protruded outward, and because I was standing in front of the wall, I was almost touched by the nose, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and quickly dodged to the side.
The wall protrudes about 20 centimeters thick, just enough to get stuck in the groove, and the wall slowly follows the groove to the side, and a dark passage about two meters high and about one meter wide appears in front of us.
I looked into the tunnel, and it wasn't much different from the corridor we were in, except that the bluestone bricks on the walls were much smoother. And since the dark passage is not a straight road, we can only see a few meters ahead.
Everyone stood in front of the dark passage and observed for a while, Chen Biao waved his hand and said in a low voice: "I'll go in first, everyone follow closely!" Weizi is responsible for the broken queen! ā
After speaking, he took the lead in stepping into the secret passage.
