Chapter 8 Tap Stone

Xiao Lianshan heard me say this, stretched out his hand to push Hetian Yu's door, but fortunately, he was clever, but his hand just leaned on it but did not exert force, slowly retracted, and looked back at me.

"If this is the main tomb, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely set up an organ."

"Huh." I smiled lightly and shook my head and replied calmly. "You should be careful when you are not careful, when you get here, you are still small, this is the main tomb, Zhu Yuanzhang will only be sent in after the dragon returns to heaven, and the people who can come here will only be the emperor of later generations in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, since he is his descendant, how can he open his tomb to disturb the ancestors."

"So...... There's no more trapping! Xiao Lianshan nodded and waited for me to be sure.

"They all say you're stupid, and you still don't admit it." Wen Zhuo glanced at Xiao Lianshan and said with a smile. "If you lie inside, will you set up a mechanism to kill your offspring?"

Xiao Lianshan didn't raise the bar with Wen Zhuo, nodded suddenly, and then pushed the door hard, but found that the line did not move, Wen Zhuo and I walked up to help, according to the size of this Hetian jade gate, the weight should be able to be estimated, even if the strength of the three of us can't push away, it will definitely not move at all.

Every time I pushed in, it was like hitting a wall, I used the bamboo piece to probe in again, there was no obstruction inside, which made me a little puzzled, I saw Gu Xiaotian slowly come over, took the bamboo piece from my hand, and probed inside like me, but the place he chose was at the bottom of the Hetian jade gate.

After the bamboo slice entered, it was about two feet away from being resisted by something, Gu Xiaotian stood up and sat back to the side.

"There's a tap stone in it, and you will never be able to push it away if you push it like this."

Tap stone? Xiao Lianshan was very surprised and repeated Gu Xiaotian's words, very unfamiliar, not only Xiao Lianshan but also I had the same reaction, I didn't know what a tap stone was.

Gu Xiaotian cleaned up a place to rest, sat next to him and casually told us that this is a way to prevent theft of the imperial mausoleum, the process is not complicated, but it is mostly used in the royal mausoleum, which is an unpassed secret in the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but where the imperial mausoleum is completed and the process of this process is completed, the conscription will undoubtedly die.

I looked at Gu Xiaotian in surprise, it wasn't a secret he said, he should be a hero, how could he know so much about the organs of this imperial tomb, I didn't interrupt him, and listened quietly to him as he continued.

Gu Xiaotian said unhurriedly, the so-called tap stone is actually the same as the name, the stone does not require manpower, the purpose is to block the door of the main tomb, but also the last barrier of the entire imperial tomb, when the main tomb door is designed, close part of the door first, leave a gap, the tap stone is generally erected and the gate is separated by a designed distance.

Then use a hook to hook the tap stone from the crack in the door, let it fall down and lean on the main tomb door that has not been closed, the bottom of the tap stone is fixed, and the end of the tomb door will be slowly lowered with the closure of the door, and when the door is completely closed, the tap stone is just against the groove at the bottom of the door, just like the bolt inside the door, it is impossible to open the tomb door from the outside, unless someone opens it from the inside, but there are only buried dead people in the tomb, so it is difficult for someone to open the tomb door of such a mechanism.

"Brother, didn't you say that there was no way......" Xiao Lianshan asked me very dejectedly after hearing this.

I understand the design and layout of the ancient tomb because most of it is related to feng shui, but when it comes to mechanisms and mysteries, how can I know the details, but my attention and curiosity are still not on any tap stone.

"You...... How do you know about such a mechanism as the tap stone, you don't say that this is the mystery of the imperial tomb, and anyone who knows about it will be wiped out. I frowned and looked at Gu Xiaotian and asked seriously.

"I don't know, but one person does." Gu Xiaotian replied to me expressionlessly. "Wei Yong, he also used to point out the people of the country, at that time his Wei characters were embroidered on the flag, talking about tomb robbing...... He will not be worse than anyone else, he has dug countless ancient tombs, of course he knows these mechanisms, I have followed him for so many years, and I can understand it if I don't know how to read it. ”

I nodded suddenly in realization, and heard Xiao Lianshan sighing outside the Hetian jade gate, boringly picking up the gold and silver jewelry in front of him, and throwing it into the distance like a stone.

"This is a big trouble, since the door of this main tomb cannot be opened from the outside, needless to say that this main tomb should be the same as the nine stone doors, if you forcibly pry open this imperial tomb, it will collapse." Xiao Lian said that when he said this, he looked back at me and actually laughed out loud. "Brother, you really don't bring wealth...... Walk there and destroy it, it looks like this gift to me...... Hehe, I can't take it with me. ”

"Few people can open ......" Wen Zhuo sat beside Gu Xiaotian with the corners of his mouth curled, looking like a hippie smile. You can't see the structure and principle of the stone from the outside, and if you know it so clearly, it means that you have been there, and only those who enter the main burial chamber will know, because you said that those who know these crafts will be killed...... Very few people can open it, but you didn't say that no one can open it...... You've been in, so you know about the tap stone, and you know how to open the door to the tomb from the outside. ”

Gu Xiaotian was silent for a long time, and finally nodded in front of us, Xiao Lianshan immediately came to his senses, jumped up from the ground and asked Gu Xiaotian how to open this ingenious mechanism.

Gu Xiaotian's gaze fell on me, and he said to me very calmly.

"Yu has been exterminating the violence of Qin for his long-cherished wish, never thought that one day he would help Emperor Qin, the creation of people in the end is actually a joke, Yu does not kneel in the world and does not ask for a person, now Yu has a request for you, you don't want the Quartet Enchantment, Yu does not want to owe you a favor, I will help you open the door of this tomb, you and I are two clear, okay?"

"I have never asked you for anything, I promise you that for the sake of your thousand-year-old affection, you have never owed me anything, and you don't need to pay it back at all." I replied with a faint smile and sincerity.

Gu Xiaotian didn't talk to me anymore, stood up and searched in the endless gold and silver jewelry, we followed at a loss, and we didn't know what he was looking for, it took a long time to see him take back a lampstand made of pure gold, no matter how old Gu Xiaotian was, it was just the ordeal of the years, and there was more twilight and old age, but the overlord was still the overlord after all.

Gu Xiaotian didn't use any effort to break the lampshade at the front end of the lampstand, leaving a slender golden stick, and then folded the front end into an upside-down shape, so that Xiao Lianshan and Wen Zhuo and I tried our best to push the door of the main tomb, and a gap that was not too big was exposed, which was the extent that we could push it open with all our might, but it seemed that Gu Xiaotian seemed to be very confident, and confidently looked inside by the light outside.

Then very carefully and slowly put the golden rod with the bent front end into the gap, we don't know what the gold stick in his hand is for, I was curious to see what happened from the gap, the bend of the front end of the golden stick in Gu Xiaotian's hand has touched the tap stone under the door of the tomb after a few attempts.

Gu Xiaotian tried a few times and then retracted, re-twisting the width of the inverted turn, repeating it several times, until the width of the folded inverted turn was just enough to clamp the tap stone, and when it was completely inlaid in, Gu Xiaotian began to gently deduce the golden stick in his hand, I was surprised to find that the treated tool in his hand could slowly lift the tap stone against the door little by little, of course, according to his method, it takes a lot of people's strength to do this, but Gu Xiaotian only has the strength to pull out the mountain and cover the world.

When the tap stone rose to a certain height, Gu Xiaotian put another prepared golden stick into it, and put it against the tap stone that was being held up, the thousand-pound stone was completely supported by his own strength, he let go of the inverted crutch on the tap stone, took a deep breath and pushed it out with his right hand.

We only heard a boom outside, and the dust scattered from the cracks in the main burial chamber, and when we were still rubbing our eyes, Gu Xiaotian threw away the golden stick in his hand, put his hands on the door of Hetian Yu and pushed it hard.

The two jade doors opened in response, Xiao Lianshan picked up the torch on the ground, lit the fish oil at the door, and the fire began to spread inside, the moment the door opened, a familiar and clear resonance sounded in my ears.

The firelight illuminated the main burial chamber, which was quiet and peaceful compared to the splendor outside, and the two huge coffins were placed side by side on top of the golden well, and my eyes looked at the tablet in front of the coffin.

The spiritual seat of the Emperor of Divine Merit.

Empress Mingde's Spiritual Throne.

Buried in front of us is Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, behind the two coffins is a golden bottle platform, a round Tiancheng emitting red light orb suspended on it, that is the last part of the sealed mana, but also the last piece of the puzzle of the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decisive of Kuangshi Theology.

I slowly walked towards the seal bead, after a thousand difficulties I finally found the last seal, that used to be the Taoist magic power I dreamed of, but now I don't know that when I have everything, I can only understand Qin Yishou's words, there is no Qin Yan back in the world, the more I learn, the more I become a Ying Zheng, this is the last mana, when I hold it, I don't know if the person standing here is still me.
