Chapter Seventy-Two: Poison Gas

I looked at Duan Fei's expression, and said in my heart that the little girl's imagination is really rich, and the terracotta warriors have opened this passage? Could it be that the terracotta warriors are still fine? If I usually make fun of her, but now I really don't have that thought, so after Professor Lin finished speaking, I didn't answer, and the group continued to move forward cautiously.

As soon as Professor Lin said this, Duan Fei also put aside that strange thought, and walked forward about ten or so steps, when Gu Wenmin, who was at the front, suddenly stopped, squatted down violently, and said, "There are traces of water here." ”

Got water?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the sealing structure of the burial chamber?

Everyone couldn't help but gather over, only to find that the so-called water was very small, a bit like someone knocked over the water glass, leaving a trace and wetting the ground.

Not surprisingly, this water should be left by Wu Sidong, and I don't know what happened to him here, but what caught our attention was not just a puddle of water on the ground, but a footprint in the middle of the water stain.

It was a mud footprint, it seemed that a person walking, with a lot of dry yellow mud under his feet, had not left any traces before, but when he walked through this section with water, the yellow mud was wet, leaving two unclear marks.

I immediately realized that something was wrong and said, "This is not Wu Sidong's footprints. "Before, we fought with Bisu in the tomb above, and almost all of the soles of our feet were bloody, and even if there was any mud, it would have been wiped clean a long time ago, and even if we could really leave a mark, it should be a string of bloody footprints, not this pair of mud marks.

I had a sudden break in my mind, looked at Duan Fei, and couldn't help but say, "Could it really be that terracotta warrior alive?" ”

Under the influence of Duan Fei just now, the rest of the people probably thought of this level to a greater or lesser extent, but no one said it, after all, this idea was too unreliable. As soon as I asked, Duan Fei was even more nervous, she also saw the fact that I turned my face with Gu Wenmin before, and this time when she had the opportunity, she immediately struck while the iron was hot, leaned over to me, and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, haven't you heard the story of scattering beans into soldiers and setting up clay figures?" ”

Professor Lin frowned and said, "Scattering beans into soldiers? He looked at us and asked, "Do you believe it?" ”

Ji Qì Ren No. 4 hesitated a little and said: "Ordinary people won't believe it, but I believe that the zongzi and everything have come out, and there are still many unknown things in this world." Professor Lin nodded and did not speak.

The so-called sprinkling beans into soldiers, most people should know this allusion, which is a legendary fairy magic, that is, with divine power, sprinkle a handful of soybeans, and the beans can be transformed into soldiers in battle.

In "The Romance of the Gods", it is said that Wen Zhong and Jiang Shang fought Qishan, because the Shang Dynasty army was helped by a group of Taoist friends of Shen Gongbao, and the Western Zhou army gradually became weak. At the critical moment, Jiang Ziya got the help of the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp, sprinkled beans into soldiers, and turned defeat into victory. It is said that if you pinch a clay figure and cast a magic spell, there will be lonely souls and wild ghosts around you in the mud figure, and you can move and fight in battle.

This Xu Fu was originally a generous scholar of the Qin Dynasty, could it be that he really knew how to scatter beans into soldiers and use clay figures to set up formations? Could it be that these terracotta warriors are inhabited by lonely souls and wild ghosts?

Everyone looked at each other, speculating for a while, and after a while, I took the lead in getting up and said: "Don't think about this, no matter what it is, it's good if you don't meet it, and if you do, you have to fight, we have no choice, let's go on the road." Because of this episode, everyone became more cautious, and the pace of progress naturally slowed down.

This tomb road is very long, and the lights on both sides are not known whether they were lit by Wu Sidong or by the clay figures, in the obscure tomb, the lights are like beans, beating slightly, as if they will be extinguished at any time. Gradually, I felt that I had some difficulty breathing, and I didn't know what was going on. At first, I wondered if it was because of Tofu's death and my own reaction to being too depressed, but after a while, Professor Lin said, "Do you think that the air here seems to be getting less? ”

Gu Wenmin finally spoke, and seemed to have come out of the previous blow, his disgraced expression regained some of his composure in the past, and said, "It's a little suffocating, could it be that the oxygen in the tomb has run out?" ”

Seeing that everyone had this feeling, I couldn't help but stop and look around, because I didn't wear a gas mask, so my sense of smell was more sensitive, I was immersed in grief before, I didn't notice it, but when I smelled it, I found that there seemed to be a very light smell in the tomb, a little similar to the smell of gas.

I chuckled in my heart, and said to myself, "Could it be that there is a poisonous gas mechanism in this tomb?" When was the trap activated? Where is the source of the poison gas? Soon, I fixed my eyes on the lampholders on both sides of the wall, so I lowered my head and leaned in front of the lampholder, and sure enough, the smell of non-existence came from the lampholder!

Since I don't have a gas mask, I may have been greatly affected, and I was the first to feel suffocated, but this gas mask didn't seem to have much effect on this gas, and Professor Lin and others also felt uncomfortable one after another. I told my guess, and everyone unanimously decided to put out the lamps that emitted the poisonous gas as soon as there was no accident.

I immediately blew on one of the lamps to start the operation to extinguish the lights, but the lamp was so strange that when I blew it out, it suddenly lit up again.

These lights can't be extinguished.

Jiqì Ren No. 1 took a look at the road ahead and said, "Forget it, let's leave this passage first." "There is no free lunch in the world, we thought that this passage opened by Wu Sidong was safe, who knew that there were also mechanisms, and we were careless for a while, and those lights were strange and could not be extinguished, and everyone had nothing to do, so they could only hurry through the tomb and plan to leave this place.

Professor Lin was well-informed, and he quickly understood the principle of these lamps, first of all, the lamp oil is mixed with toxic substances, and there is no doubt that it is volatilized by combustion. But there is actually a reason why the lights can't be blown out.

Ancient people were very good at using air, for example, in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, there was a mechanism that used air to activate, called 'swamp room'. When experienced tomb robbers open the hole, they often cut directly into the main tomb of the underground palace, and the person who designed the ancient tomb, in order to prevent theft, will change the structure of the main tomb and set up a virtual underground palace. The Tomb Robbers use their experience to knock the Cave into the fictional main burial chamber and be instantly hit.

In the underground of the virtual tomb, there is an artificially built swamp pond, which has been accumulated for thousands of years, volatilizing all kinds of gases and flooding the virtual main tomb chamber, and the air has long disappeared because of the fermentation swamp pond, so the entire virtual tomb will become a secret room full of combustible gas. The moment the tomb robbers broke through the tomb, thousands of years of gas gathered inside, and when it met the air, it would burn and burn the tomb robbers alive in it.

Of course, when encountering this kind of virtual tomb, there is also a solution, you have to use an iron drill to slowly locate and find out the structure of the entire tomb, which is generally only done by veterans, who can often avoid the virtual tomb and retire successfully.

Professor Lin speculated that this tomb was supposed to be sealed, and after Wu Sidong opened the mechanism, air was injected, so these lamps spontaneously combusted and volatilized toxic gases. "We may well have fallen into a trap by now," Professor Lin said. As he spoke, the tomb came to an end, and when everyone saw the appearance at the end, they were stunned for a moment.

As expected, the end of the tomb was sealed, but to our surprise, we did not see Wu Sidong here, but a terracotta warrior.

It stood at the end of the tombway, facing us, halberd in hand, motionless and staring at us.

There is no Wu Sidong.

Only terracotta.

Could it be that the mechanism of this tomb was really opened? In its clay body, there are really ghosts? Did it deliberately lead us to this gas-filled grave?

Duan Fei's expression was full of nervousness, and he couldn't help but hide behind me, but I was carrying tofu on my back, probably because I was frightened by the body of tofu, and I was a little farther away from me. No matter how good it looks when it is alive, it is useless, because the muscles of dead people are very stiff, so their facial expressions are generally different from those of living people, and those who have never seen dead people cannot experience this feeling.

Everyone stared at the terracotta warrior standing opposite, and there was silence for a while.

The four people of the machine were the first to react, worthy of being official thieves, and their way of thinking was very unique. The situation in front of him was too weird, and the machine Qì No. 1 didn't plan to go forward to check at all, he directly made a gesture and signaled No. 2 to put explosives on it, regardless of whether there were really ghosts in the terracotta warriors, and then use explosives to blow it up first.

I agree with the approach of the machine qì person No. 1.

Jiqì Ren No. 2 quickly deployed the appropriate amount of explosives, and everyone retreated a distance and threw them towards the terracotta warriors, then they heard a loud bang, and in an instant the tomb was filled with smoke and dust, and the clay terracotta warriors were also blown up to the slag. I didn't have a gas mask, so I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose, my eyes were fascinated by the smoke, and my vision was even more obscure. In the dimness, I seemed to see a black shadow where the terracotta warriors were standing before, but the black shadow only disappeared in an instant, as if it had also been blown apart by explosives.

I secretly raised my vigilance, and after a few moments, the smoke cleared, and only dust remained on the ground, and everyone no longer had any scruples, and walked to the closed curtain wall at the end of the tomb. The machine Qì Ren 3 had already prepared the tools, which were the instruments used to detect the organs before. He cautiously strafed around, and I was very anxious to watch from the sidelines, and said that this high-tech is sometimes very troublesome to use, and no matter how good the instrument is, it can't compare to an experienced person, if Feng Ghost is here, where will it take so much time.

After about ten minutes, the third person of the machine scolded a foul language, shook his head and said: "There is no mechanism, it is solidly sealed, it seems that we have to go back." ”

Gu Wenmin's expression was heavy and he said, "Do you remember that curse?" The door to life will be closed. I have a sense of foreboding, and I feel that the entrance when we came is likely to be ......."
