I don't know if it was due to wind erosion or the texture of the lava, but the inside of the cave was full of holes, and from the top of the head to the surrounding area, there were holes formed by the interlacing of lava of different shapes, and at first glance it looked like a beehive.

In the middle of the cave lies a dilapidated wooden boat, about 70 meters long, about 30 meters wide, and about 10 meters high, which looks very old.

I wondered how the boat had come to this cave in the first place, and there was no other entrance around it.

Then this should be the trouble that Qin Xuanling said, but this wooden boat doesn't seem to have anything special except for being old, so I asked casually: "Old Qin, is there anything wrong with this wooden boat?" That's what you're in such a hurry to bring us down for? ”

Qin Xuanling thought for a moment and said to us, "Actually, on the boat in front of everyone, there is the entrance to the tomb that we have been looking for. ”

Entrance to the tomb? Chen Yanshu's tomb was built on a broken wooden boat, and everyone immediately felt incredible.

Professor Wu was obviously even more incredulous, and said, "You're not kidding, we didn't come all the way to see this boat. ”

Qin Xuanling's face instantly became serious, and he pointed to the wooden boat and said, "You don't understand, after my observation, the inside of the wooden boat is actually designed as the entrance to the tomb, as long as we can get into it smoothly, we can go down to the tomb." ”

Uncle Long said disdainfully: "Then what are you waiting for, isn't it just a broken ship?" If you have arms and legs, you can't get in? ”

Qin Xuanling vetoed: "It's not as simple as you think, since I found here, I have been studying this ship, and later I found out that this ship as a whole is designed as a mechanism."

The structure inside is extremely complex, and there are many hidden weapons. If you rush in, you will not only take your life, but also collapse the entrance to the tomb, which is very cunning.

I've never seen such a complex mechanism, so I don't know how to crack it, so I'm waiting for you to help, understand? ”

This sounds a little evil, what kind of mechanism can make a master like Qin Xuanling have nothing to do, but if it was discovered by us first, it is estimated that we would have been confused a long time ago.

Jin Hu and I went up to take a closer look, and sure enough, we found that this wooden ship was not simple, although there was nothing strange from the outside, but inside the cabin was composed of various mechanisms to form a powerful mechanism center.

The parts inside are criss-crossed, the scrolls and chains are extremely intricately wound, and even the bracket is divided into several sections, each connecting different parts, which is dazzling to see.

The most important thing is that there is a hidden compartment at the bottom of the cabin, which presumably leads to the burial chamber below, and around the dark compartment are a dozen spears with barbs.

There are also many visible crossbows and invisible hidden weapons next to it, and a powerful defense mechanism is formed around the dark grid, which can be triggered at any time.

No wonder Qin Xuanling didn't know where to start, in the face of such a complex mechanism, recklessness would be a death.

But even a master like him is not in a rut, and it is estimated that we laymen will definitely have no fun.

But Qin Xuanling said that he always has a directional thinking when facing the organ, and because of the training he received when he was a child, it is difficult for him to understand the organ beyond the scope of what he has learned, so he needs us to help him think and see if he can try to find out the trick of the organ from other angles.

Everyone pondered for a long time, and they all felt that it was okay for us to do other things, but it was really difficult to start with such a subtle thing as a mechanism.

Although Jin Hu is also proficient in the mechanism, he scratches his head and says that he can't change the situation he faces.

Seeing that things were about to reach an impasse again, it occurred to me that the tricks described in many ancient books and novels were often not set up near the center of the machine, but buried elsewhere.

For example, in the "Gongmu Jing", it is recorded that Lu Shiqiu, a madman who specialized in the study of institutions in the Song Dynasty, was good at designing all kinds of wonderful defense mechanisms, and was famous in that era, and was invited by many princes and nobles to design mausoleum institutions.

It is said that he designed a very thrilling trap array, which was a ten-step shuttle array in the tomb of the Xinyang King. Legend has it that as long as you enter the mausoleum and walk more than ten steps, no matter which direction you are, countless shuttles will shoot out densely, instantly shooting you into a hornet's nest.

More than 100,000 shuttles were used throughout the array, and the tombs were filled with brackets, and under the floor was a very complex center that connected all the mechanical parts, and no one had ever seen how the core part of it was designed.

Another great thing about this trap array is that as long as you can step on the floor of the tomb according to a certain rule or footwork, the trap can be automatically lifted, in other words, the trick of the trap is on the floor, and you can enter the tomb smoothly by stepping on the right path, and if you step on the wrong one, there will be tens of thousands of shuttles to greet you.

Therefore, the ten-step shuttle array is known as one of the most thrilling mechanisms in ancient times, and it is similar to the game of Go in principle, which is to take a wrong move and lose the whole game.

According to this analysis, if there is some trick buried in the wooden boat nearby, then things will be much easier.

I told everyone what I thought, and Qin Xuanling immediately agreed: "This suggestion is to the point, but the mechanism is a clever thing, if it can be easily discovered, then it is not called a mechanism, so everyone should look carefully, you must be cautious, and you must not let go of any clues." ”

Then we split into groups and dispersed, and although there were quite a few of us, the cave was very spacious and it was not easy to search.

I was still in a group with the Golden Tiger, and the two of them groped around the west side of the cave with flashlights, and walked for a long time to remove the strange rocks and holes around them, and they never found anything again.

Jin Hu gasped and said impatiently: "What the hell is going on, come to this shitty place to hide and seek!" In my opinion, we should go back and blow up the broken ship with explosives, and the matter will be solved. ”

I turned around and shouted, "Your head is filled with paste, aren't you?" I didn't hear Qin Xuanling say that as long as the organ is destroyed, the entrance to the tomb will collapse, do you want to have a chicken and egg fight? ”

Jin Hu stopped talking for a while, he always likes to think of some bad moves at critical moments, and he was stunned.

I leaned against the rock wall and tried to light a cigarette, but as soon as I put my arm on it, the place where it came into contact with the rock wall suddenly recessed.

I hurriedly looked back, and saw a carved blue brick embedded in the rock wall, which could be loosened back and forth when I pressed it.

I immediately realized that this was unusual, so I quickly told everyone to come over.

Qin Xuanling touched the green bricks and looked at them for a long time, and suddenly said with some excitement, "If it's right, this should be the trick, but it's definitely not just this one, let's go to other places to look for it, and see if there are any such bluestone bricks." ”

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Professor Wu and the others found six bluestone bricks of the same shape in other places, all of which were also embedded in the rock wall, plus there were a total of seven bluestone bricks in the cave I found first.

This discovery lifted everyone's spirits, and it seems that we will soon be able to crack the mechanism and open the entrance to the tomb.

We tried to press these bluestone bricks at the same time, trying to see if there was any reaction, but the result was that after pressing for a long time, nothing changed around.

Although the bluestone bricks are quite far apart, they must be connected to the mechanism when they are embedded in the rock wall, otherwise why do we spend so much effort to embed them, could it be that our method is wrong?

Standing at the entrance of the cave, I took a comprehensive look at the orientation of these bluestone bricks from a distance, and then marked them one by one on paper and sketched them.

When I finished painting, I realized that if I connected the points where the bluestone bricks were located, I could make a shape, which was very unique, almost like a constellation.

But I looked at it for a long time, and I only felt that this shape was very familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was, and my mind was suddenly confused.

Qin Xuanling took the piece of paper and looked at it, he was stunned, and then said, "This... Isn't it the shape of the Seven Star Array! ”

Seven Star Array? No wonder I feel familiar, the feelings are seen on the frescoes in the palace.

However, we don't know anything about this Seven Star Array, except for seeing it once in the palace, we don't have much of an impression, and now it's a coincidence that it appears here again or is there any other significance?
