Chapter 327: Armory
Wen Qingshan jumped into the copper tripod, took the camera from my hand, squatted down, and took a picture of the dragon armor at the bottom of the copper tripod.
I stood aside, looked at him and asked in a daze, "Boss Wen, why have you been gone for so long?" ”
Wen Qingshan raised his head and looked at me with a confused expression: "Has it been a long time?" It's only two minutes at most. ”
Two minutes!? I was stunned for a moment, what's the situation? Was it really only two minutes later? But how do I feel like I've been asleep for a long time?
Wen Qingshan didn't notice the change in my expression, and after taking the photo, he said without raising his head: "I have already taken the photo, let's look carefully and see if we can find any special objects." ”
I came back to my senses, nodded hurriedly, and immediately squatted down, and followed Wen Qingshan to find it in the copper tripod. However, we searched for a long time, but found nothing.
Wen Qingshan couldn't help muttering, "Could it be that I made a mistake, the mechanism that opened the stone door opposite was not in this tomb?" ”
"Maybe it's just not in this copper tripod! Why don't we look elsewhere in the tomb? ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the fat man shouting outside: "Master, boss! Come out quickly! ”
Hearing his hurried tone, it seemed that he was in a hurry, so the two of us didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly crawled outside the copper tripod.
As soon as I poked my head out of the copper tripod, I saw the old ghost, Long Jiansheng, and the cheap people running quickly outside the tomb, and I didn't know what was going on. I hurriedly asked the fat man, "What's wrong with them?" ”
The fat cow replied in a hurried tone, "Yes...... The stone door on the other side opened by itself! ”
"What!?" Wen Qingshan and I were both taken aback, I hurriedly raised my head and looked at the opposite side, and with the searchlight on my helmet, I could vaguely see that the stone door on the opposite side seemed to have really opened.
Wen Qingshan and I hurriedly climbed out of the copper tripod, and while chasing them, I asked Niu Fatzi: "Brother, what did you all do just now, why did the stone gate open?" ”
The fat man replied, "What...... Nothing, we were waiting for the two of you, suddenly there was a loud bang behind us, and when I turned around, I found that the stone door had been opened, and I didn't know what was going on. ”
We quickly caught up with the old ghost and others, and the group walked to the stone gate that had been opened on the opposite side, but they did not dare to enter it rashly, the stone gate seemed to be a large burial chamber, I looked into the burial chamber by the mining lamp overhead, and found that a lot of weapons and armor were placed in the huge burial chamber, which looked like an armory.
The cheap muttered in a low voice: "This door has opened by itself, could it be a trap?" ”
Wen Qingshan turned his head and asked the old ghost: "Old ghost senior, what do you think?" ”
The old ghost glanced at Wen Qingshan: "I was just about to ask you!" Could it be that you two touched some mechanism in the copper tripod? ”
Wen Qingshan shook his head and said: "Although there are many character patterns engraved in that bronze tripod, there is no switch, I think it should have nothing to do with this stone door." ”
"Not necessarily." As he spoke, the old ghost turned his head to look at the tomb opposite, and I followed suit, and found that from where we were standing now, I could see the bronze tripod in the opposite tomb. The old ghost pointed his hand at the bronze tripod and said, "Have you noticed that the bronze tripod and this stone door are located on the central axis of the two tombs, I think, this may not be just a coincidence." ”
"What do you mean, old ghost senior, that bronze tripod is the key to opening this stone door?"
The old ghost nodded.
"But we didn't find anything in the copper tripod, and we didn't touch any mechanism!"
The old ghost asked the two of us, "Did anything special happen when you two were in the bronze tripod?" ”
"What is something special?" Wen Qingshan didn't understand.
"For example, what special changes have occurred in the aura inside the copper tripod." The old ghost said.
Wen Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "I didn't notice this, why did the old ghost seniors ask about this?" ”
The old ghost said: "The copper tripod is a thing that gathers qi, the two of you climb into the copper tripod, your own aura will have a subtle impact on the aura in the copper tripod, ordinary people may not be able to detect it, but people who are extremely high in cultivation can use this subtle aura change to set up a qi spirit lock." ”
I listened to what the old ghost said, and I couldn't help but feel slightly stunned, and said secretly: "Could it be that I touched the sun on the inner wall of the copper tripod just now, which not only changed the aura inside the copper tripod, but also opened this stone door?" ”
I want to think about it, but I didn't say anything strange about what happened at the time.
Wen Qingshan and the old ghost did not continue to dwell on how this stone gate was opened, no matter what, now that this stone door had been opened. The old ghost stood in front of the stone gate and carefully inspected the situation in the tomb, raised his hand and pointed straight ahead, and said to everyone: "Look there! ”
In the direction he was pointing, there was a closed arched stone door.
The old ghost turned his head to Wen Qingshan and said, "It seems that you really got right, these tombs do form a chain of bureaus, and that stone gate, nine times out of ten, is the passage to the underground palace." ”
"Then let's go and have a look!" As he spoke, he wanted to go to the tomb, but was pulled by the old ghost.
"Don't be reckless, you kid, look at what it is!" The old ghost pouted at one side of the tomb, and when I looked there, there was a row of puppets, even more than in the tomb just now.
The cheap hurriedly retracted his feet and sighed, "Damn! Why are these things again! ”
The old ghost said, "As long as we step into this tomb, the aura emanating from our bodies will surely activate these puppeteers. So I'm afraid that there will be a fierce battle later, and everyone has to take it easy. ”
After listening to what the old ghost said, everyone hurriedly pulled out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands.
The group walked towards the closed arched stone door across the chamber.
Along the way, I kept an eye on the row of puppeteers, fearing that they would make any noise, but strangely, until we reached the other end of the tomb, the puppets remained motionless, not moving at all.
A few of us stood in front of the stone gate, staring at the stone gate in front of us and taking a closer look, the stone door was blue-black, and it seemed to be made of a different material from the previous stone doors.
On the stone door, there is a huge dragon head carved, the dragon head is extremely hideous, but its left eye has been hollowed out, and it looks like a one-eyed dragon head.
Wen Qingshan said thoughtfully: "It seems that if you want to open this stone gate, you have to find the left eye of this dragon head." ”
"I think so, then let's look for it!" When the old ghost said this, he turned to Long Jiansheng and said, "You are responsible for keeping an eye on those puppeteers, and if there is any movement, kill them." He seemed to have completely forgotten that he was still blaming Long Jiansheng for destroying the artifacts.
Long Jiansheng didn't say a word, he immediately pulled out his long sword, and stared at the row of puppets with a pair of eyes.
Others hurriedly searched the surroundings.
However, the tomb was filled with weapons such as spears, swords, and crossbows, as well as armor, as well as six large wooden chests. It's not easy to find an eyeball the size of a fist.
Wen Qingshan and the old ghost both focused on the six large wooden boxes, and they thought that since the eyeballs were very important objects, they must have been hidden in a safe place that was not too difficult to find, so those large wooden boxes were the most likely.
Several large wooden boxes were locked, but they were ordinary locks, which naturally did not make it difficult for the old ghost, he didn't take much effort, he opened one of the wooden boxes, everyone looked inside, and the box was full of copper coins.
These copper coins are smaller and thinner than the common copper coins in the past, and the square hole in the middle is very large, Wen Qingshan grabbed a few copper coins and checked them in his hand, and said: "This is the re-making money made by Qin II." ”
"What does it mean to reinstate money?" Cheap asked curiously.
Wen Qingshan explained: "According to historical records: Qin Qian is half a tael, with a diameter of one inch and two cents, and weighs twelve baht. Therefore, the coins of the Qin Dynasty are also known as half a tael. However, in the second Qin Dynasty, due to the continuous large-scale work of Qin Shi Huang in his later years, the savings were exhausted, the treasury was empty, and the financial difficulties were difficult. The weight was almost half of the previous Qin Qian. ”
"Holy! Isn't that the same as inflation? ”
"Haha, that's understandable!"
Seeing that we were talking and laughing, the old ghost glared at us and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find the dragon's eye beads!" ”
We opened the remaining five large wooden boxes, but they were all filled with copper plates, and the old ghost also asked everyone to put their hands into the pile of copper plates and grope for it, but they still couldn't find the dragon's eye beads we were looking for, but everyone's hands were stained with the real copper smell.
It seems that the place where the dragon's eye beads are most likely hidden has not been found, and everyone is a little disheartened, and the old ghost can't figure out where the dragon's eye beads are hidden.
I looked around, and suddenly found a bronze figure standing on the side of the tomb, I slowly walked to the bronze figure, only to see this bronze figure the size of a life, dressed in exquisite armor, holding a bronze sword in his hand, lips, nose, ears are carved vividly, but strangely it has no eyes on its face, and I don't know if it is because it is too hasty, so it is not finished.
I was staring at the bronze man in a daze, and suddenly there was a "click" sound from the bronze man, and I couldn't help but feel a sigh in my heart, this sound is very familiar, it is the sound of the mechanism starting! When the others heard the movement, they all turned their heads to look at me.
The old ghost asked, "What are you doing?" I guess it's a touch of the mechanism! ”
