Chapter 61: The Mural Trap
"Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, what are you looking for?" I'm still a little angry with them, but I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable, and it's understandable for the choices they make. So I took the initiative to talk to them after I passed.
Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye saw me and Datou coming, and felt a little surprised that I could take the initiative to talk to them, but soon this trace of surprise was gone, and the calm restored was like water, and I couldn't see it from my face, and I secretly said to the two old foxes.
"We're looking for Princess Tongchang's coffin." When Kong Sanye saw me coming over to ask, he said that he had nothing to hide.
But I am a little strange about Kong Sanye's words, there are three large sarcophagi placed there, and I don't see them to open them, how do I know that there is no coffin of Princess Tongchang.
Before I could ask, the big man beside me had already asked: "Aren't there three coffins over there, and there is no coffin of Princess Tongchang in it?" ”
Kong Sanye glanced over there, sighed and said, "Those three are just coffins, and there are no coffins in them." And I suspect that the coffins inside this coffin should be the three sarcophagi outside the door. ”
I was shocked when I heard Kong Sanye's words, I have heard of the coffin, also known as the outer coffin, which is set on the outside of the coffin. Should the three coffins have been placed here before? So how did you end up outside?
Uncle Zheng saw my question, so he said: "The three coffins should have been placed in this coffin, but it may be because they wanted to guard the door, so Wang Xuanling, the designer of the ancient tomb, put them at the door outside, and let them guard the tomb of Princess Tongchang." You must know that the tomb is equivalent to the house after death, which is equivalent to the boudoir of Princess Tongchang. ”
I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it. Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye have already gone to look for it with Datou, just such a large tomb, and the coffin is such a conspicuous thing, basically you can see it at a glance, but looking at their appearance, they have searched all over it, and they still can't find it.
However, Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye said that there was a possibility that there was something else here, so I immediately thought of the woman on the mural, and the direction her eyes were looking at when she sat down.
I walked back to the mural and sat down, looking in the direction of the woman's eyes. Looking at the past, on the tomb wall behind the coffin arranged in a zigzag pattern, is there another mystery inside?
Once I had locked the direction, I got up and walked straight to the wall behind the coffin, reaching out and banging on the wall, listening carefully with my ears to the wall.
The inside was really empty, and the crisp voice shook my heart, and I turned around and shouted at Kong Sanye: "Uncle Zheng, Kong Sanye, the wall on this side is empty, come and see if it's here?" ”
Hearing my shout, Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng limped over, and Zheng Wen, Datou, Datuan and Crooked Mouth also stopped their movements and surrounded me.
After Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye fumbled on the wall for a while, they nodded to each other, and then motioned to Zheng Wen for them to start digging out this wall.
I watched Datou and Datuan also digging this wall together, and I always felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, worried that something would happen, and I intuitively felt that this thing was really scary sometimes.
After saying "be careful" to them, I walked away from the three coffins, sat on the side and watched them dig out the wall, thinking to myself what the woman's words in the dream "find her be nice to her", or was it just a dream when I was bored? I don't know.
Just when Zheng Wen and the others were looking for the right place, and the shovel was just taken down, they heard two crisp sounds of "nailing", followed by a "clang", and the shovel in Zheng Wen's hand fell to the ground. The big heads and big groups next to them also stopped with shovels in their hands.
"Zheng Wen, what's going on?" Uncle Zheng, who saw this scene, asked Zheng Wen with some confusion. Zheng Wen rubbed his arm and pointed to the shovel on the ground.
At this time, we saw that there were two very long iron nails tied to the shovel, the iron nails were very finely ground and smooth, and the front end was very sharp, which seemed to be used as a hidden weapon. At this time, the shovel had been pierced by the iron nail, and the force of the iron nail was very great when it was shot out.
This wall, but after Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye checked that there were no traps together, Zheng Wen and they started digging it out. But now I encountered danger just after the first stroke, but fortunately I was not injured and accepted my fate.
Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye's faces were not very good, and they beckoned Zheng Wen to step back for the time being, and then the two discussed countermeasures together.
"Hadron, did you see where those two iron nails came from?" Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye also came over and sat next to me, and all the attention of the few people just now was on the wall, and they didn't see the direction of the iron nails.
Seeing the two of them come to ask me, I didn't want to hide it, so I nodded directly. I did see where the two iron nails came from, Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye saw me nodding, and immediately came to the spirit and asked in unison, "Where did they come from?" ”
I didn't say it explicitly, but took the shovel out of my backpack and threw it at the wall they were digging on. Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye saw me throwing the shovel, their faces were a little weird, and they didn't know what I wanted to do.
But the moment the shovel hit the wall, their faces finally changed. As soon as the shovel hit the wall, a series of "nail nails" were heard, and then the shovel was pierced by long iron nails from the same position, and was nailed tightly to the wall.
This time, not only Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye saw the source of the iron nail clearly, but even Zheng Wen, Datou, Datuan and Crooked Mouth also saw where the iron nail came from.
It was from the eyes of the mural that I turned to faintly and directly, and I could still see the resentful eyes of the woman on the mural and the strange smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was laughing at our incompetence.
Once again, we were back to the mural, where the woman standing there winked at me with a mischievous smile on her lips. I smiled at the woman in the mural, a little self-deprecating.
Suddenly I thought that it was a fresco, and smiled self-deprecatingly, I didn't expect that I would be like a big head, and take the woman in this portrait as a living person.
Uncle Zheng, Kong Sanye and Zheng Wen, the three of them stood at a different angle than where I was, so what I saw should be the clear eyes and the sad painting between the eyebrows, I thought to myself.
"Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, how to break the mechanism on this painting?" I was a little surprised to look at the big head, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask how to break the painting. I thought he would try his best to stop the destruction of the painting, after all, he had already been confused.
Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng did not speak, but carefully looked at the painting from different angles, believing that they should have also discovered the secret of this painting.
It's just that I haven't thought of a way to crack this trap, and after a long time, Kong Sanye spoke: "The most important mechanism of this painting is the eyes, as long as those eyes are destroyed, the mechanism will naturally be cracked." ”
As soon as I heard that Kong Sanye said that he wanted to destroy the eyes of this painting, I suddenly felt a kind of reluctance in my heart. However, the movement of the big head was much faster than mine, and he jumped in front of the picture at once, opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Don't destroy the eyes of this painting, Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, you have to think of other ways, anyway, this painting is not accurate." ”
The words of the woman in my dream came to my mind: "Find her, don't hurt her." "Could it be that this is the painting that the woman said don't hurt, otherwise why would I have this feeling of reluctance in my heart?
Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng shook their heads at the same time, and said to the big head: "We don't want to destroy this painting either, but if we want to go in, we must break this mechanism, if there is no other way, we will not be willing to destroy it." ”
"No, if you say no, you can't." The big head is very resolute, and he has the spirit of a hero to save the beauty, but the beauty is just a person in the painting, and it can only be said that she sacrificed herself to save the painting.
There was some stalemate on both sides for a while, and it was too difficult to persuade the big head to give in, this guy was a cow, and it was difficult for anyone to change what he was looking for.
Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng stared at me, knowing that the big head generally listens to me, as long as I can persuade a word or two, I may be able to persuade the big head to get away.
It's just that what they don't know is that if the big head doesn't do it, I probably will. In my heart, I don't want this painting to be ruined.
I shook my head at Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng, and when they saw that I didn't try to persuade the big head, they suddenly felt that the pressure had increased again. They can't force the big head away.
Here, if the big head says that it doesn't work, the three of me and Datuan Crooked Mouth will help the big head, then only Uncle Zheng, Zheng Wen and Kong Sanye are left with the eyes that are in favor of destroying the painting. Neither by force nor by numbers, they have no advantage.
Seeing that it is not a way to stalemate here, Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye are still talking bitterly to the big head, the big head just can't do it blindly, no matter what you say, it won't work anyway. There are quite a few showmen who meet soldiers, and they have a feeling that they can't explain reasonably.
I looked at the wall of the burial chamber over there for a while, then turned to Datuan and asked, "Datuan, do you have a grenade left in your backpack?" ”
Datuan listened to my words, stunned for a moment, nodded, and reached out to take out the grenade in the backpack. Uncle Zheng and Datou over there also stopped discussing when they heard my words, and turned to look at the grenade in Datuan's hand.
