"Really?" I was a little surprised.

"Of course! It's just a trick of carving insects, how can it be difficult to defeat me. When the old ghost said this, there was a smug look on his face.

"Then tell me quickly, what can you do!?" I hurriedly asked.

The old ghost smiled mysteriously and spit out two words from his mouth: "Dig a pit!" ”

Digging a pit? I was slightly stunned at first, and then I was stunned for a while before I reacted, the old ghost meant that I could dig a big pit under the iron cage that connected the inside and outside of the iron cage, and then Wen Qingshan and I climbed out of the pit.

Although the old ghost's method is a bit stupid, if you think about it carefully, it is still an effective method.

However, the floor in this tomb is paved with floor tiles about 50 centimeters square, and the floor tiles are polished from naturally occurring bluestone slabs, and the texture is quite hard, and it is not easy to dig a pit in such a hard ground. You have to pry the floor tiles open before digging out the soil underneath the tiles. Moreover, to dig out a pit that Wen Qingshan and I could climb out of, we had to pry open at least three or more floor tiles and dig out a pit half a meter deep.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it seems that only by doing it can we get out of the predicament.

The old ghost found a floor tile that happened to be pressed in the middle by the iron cage, and asked Wen Qingshan and me to pry open the floor tiles adjacent to it in the iron cage, and asked the cheap and fat man to pry open another floor tile adjacent to the iron cage, and after the floor tiles were pried open, the soil below was dug out, and the floor tile that was pressed in the middle by the iron cage could be easily taken out when the soil under it was hollowed out.

Just do it, and a few of us started to get busy.

The gaps between the tiles were very dense, and it seemed that the gaps had been watered with adamantine juice, which was very hard, but fortunately, we brought a crowbar and a portable shovel, and after a lot of work, we finally pried open the two floor tiles inside and outside the iron cage.

After the floor tiles were lifted, it was relatively easy to dig up the soil layer below, and after working for more than half an hour, we finally dug a big hole, and Wen Qingshan and I were able to get out of trouble.

Finally, there is no danger, but unconsciously, we have spent nearly two hours in it, but we have not been able to enter the Imperial Tomb Underground Palace, and if according to the time given by Long Jiu, we must go out before dawn, then we only have six hours left, and everyone can't help but be a little anxious.

Wen Qingshan didn't care that his left hand had not fully recovered, and walked quickly to the stone lion on the right side of the stone gate.

After some observation, he found that this stone lion was almost exactly the same as the one on the left side of the stone gate, with the left eyeball embedded in the eye socket, and the same hidden mechanism in the mouth cavity. In addition, on the top of the burial chamber directly above this stone lion, there is also an almost identical carved stone slab.

Because of the lesson just now, Wen Qingshan naturally didn't dare to touch the mechanism in Shi Shi's mouth rashly, but just as he stretched out his hand and was about to press Shi Shi's left eyeball, the old ghost suddenly shouted loudly on the side: "Wait!" ”

"Old ghost senior, what's wrong?" Wen Qingshan took his hand back.

The old ghost held his chin in one hand and said thoughtfully, "I don't think it's that simple. ”

Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "What do you think, senior, you might as well speak up?" ”

The old ghost stared at the stone lion in front of him for a while, then turned his head to look at the other stone lion, and said, "I think maybe you should try the mechanism in this stone lion's mouth." ”

As soon as his words fell, the cheap immediately shouted on the side: "What are you talking about! Do you still want Boss Wen's hand to be clamped again!? ”

The old ghost didn't pay attention to the cheap, but explained to Wen Qingshan: "These two stone lions each have two mechanism buttons, and even the position of the buttons is the same, such a similar design, I'm afraid it is not an unintentional move by the mechanism designer." It's done on purpose. ”

Wen Qingshan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask the old ghost seniors to make it clear." ”

"This mechanism may seem simple, but it is the most paralyzing and careless, and I wonder if the two mechanism buttons on these two stone lions may have the opposite effect."

Listening to what the old ghost said, Wen Qingshan seemed to understand something, and said thoughtfully: "The old ghost's predecessor is not unreasonable, the stone lion's eye on the left side of the stone gate is the mechanism that opens the stone gate, and the one hidden in the mouth is the trap mechanism. Generally speaking, most people take it for granted that the mechanism on the stone lion on the right side of the stone gate is also distributed. And the designer of the mechanism can just take advantage of the inertial thinking of ordinary people to make people tricked. ”

The old ghost nodded: "That's right! So, I think it's more reliable for you to try the mechanism in Shishi's mouth first. ”

The cheap asked rhetorically: "Then if you make a mistake, won't Boss Wen's hand have to be caught again?" ”

"Who said you have to press it with your hands!" The old ghost said, handing the crowbar in his hand to Wen Qingshan.

Everyone immediately understood the old ghost's intentions, he asked Wen Qingshan to use a crowbar to reach into the stone lion's mouth to touch the mechanism, so that even if there was any situation, at least Wen Qingshan's wrist would not be stuck again, with Wen Qingshan's speed, even if the trap was triggered, it should not be a problem to get out.

Wen Qingshan took the crowbar from the old ghost and was about to step forward, but when I saw this, I snatched the crowbar from his hand, and said, "Boss Wen, your left hand is injured, let me come!" ”

Wen Qingshan originally wanted to say something, but at my insistence, he had to step aside.

I stepped forward, first leaned in front of the stone lion's slightly open mouth, looked inside carefully, and after determining the specific location of the mechanism, I turned to the others and said, "You'd better all stand farther away, or there will be an iron cage falling again!" ”

Everyone hurriedly took a few steps back, and said worriedly: "Brother, you have to react quickly later, and as soon as you press the mechanism, you quickly retreat." ”

"I know!"

I cautiously put the crowbar in my hand into the stone lion's mouth, because I had already seen where the mechanism was, and I quickly used the crowbar in my hand to press the mechanism.

The moment I heard the "click", I quickly took a few steps back, almost reflexively, for fear of being trapped in the iron cage again.

However, the stone slab above the stone lion did not open as I thought, and naturally no iron cage fell. After a while, we heard a loud "boom", and the heavy stone door in front of us finally slowly opened.

I didn't expect the old ghost to be right, and sure enough, the mechanism in Shishi's mouth was the mechanism that opened the stone door.

When the stone door was fully opened, another huge burial chamber appeared in front of us. I looked into the tomb with a searchlight, and there was also a terracotta phalanx, the layout of which was quite similar to the one we are in now.

We slowly stepped into the stone gate, looked at the huge tomb in front of us, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder it is said that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor mausoleum in the world, and each tomb is inevitably too big." ”

Wen Qingshan said: "This is nothing, according to legend, the Qinling underground palace is even larger, not only the palace pavilion was built, but also the top of the underground palace is decorated with gemstone pearls, symbolizing the celestial stars." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man on the side suddenly shouted: "Look at those warrior figurines, why are they different from others?" ”

Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw that on both sides of the terracotta figurines in the middle of the tomb, there were really two rows of terracotta figurines with special shapes. The other figurines are armed with spears, but these two rows are holding bronze swords. Everyone felt a little strange, and when they got closer, they took a closer look, and then they saw clearly, what kind of terracotta figurines this is, it is clearly a puppeteer!

These puppeteers are very exquisite, not only with all four limbs, but also with vivid facial expressions, and even wearing real armor on their bodies.

Seeing these puppeteers, everyone was a little surprised, Wen Qingshan couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, in addition to the pottery terracotta warriors, there are actually wooden terracotta warriors, which should be regarded as a heavy discovery in the history of archaeology." ”

The cheap said disapprerovingly: "I think it's because there are not enough terracotta figurines, so let's get these puppeteers to fill the number." ”

Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said: "This should be unlikely, these puppets are very finely carved, and the difficulty of making zuò is probably much more difficult than that of terracotta figurines. ”

"Tell me, then, what are these puppets for?" Cheap asked rhetorically.

"I'll take a look!" Wen Qingshan said, slowly walked to the side of a puppeteer, cautiously stretched out his hand, touched the puppeteer's arm, turned his head and said to everyone: "This puppet is not made of ordinary wood, it has been more than two thousand years, and the texture is still quite hard......

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a gust of yin wind blew from nowhere, I couldn't help but shiver, the cheap was even more frightened, the wind suddenly rose in the closed tomb, generally speaking, nine times out of ten there are ghosts and evils, and the eight characters of pure yin are the most afraid of ghosts!

He immediately took out the Tiangang Demon Mirror, held it to his chest, and said nervously, "This ...... Why is this a gust of wind blowing for no reason? Should...... It can't be a ghost, right!? ”

As soon as I heard that there was a ghost, the fat cow's face turned pale, and he grabbed the corner of my clothes, and his body was still trembling slightly. In order to dispel their fears, I hurriedly spoke: "Didn't the old ghost senior say that there will be no evil things in this Qin Tomb!" It's just a gust of wind, what's all the fuss! ”

Although I said this, in fact, I also wondered in my heart, looking around, the tomb we are in now is almost completely closed except for the stone door when we entered, where did such a gust of wind come from?
