Chapter 89: Tap Stone

"Isn't the everlasting lamp forever?" Tang Sancheng asked. ()

"When this imperial mausoleum was closed, there was not enough oxygen left here, the lamp was to burn, oxygen was indispensable, and it is estimated that as soon as the mausoleum was closed, the everlasting lamp would be extinguished."

Tang Sancheng's sharp eyes saw that there was still a payment on the cylinder, and he read: "The Jiajing year system of the Ming Dynasty." “

"Could it be that this is the tomb of Emperor Jiajing?" Lei Zi had exerted a lot of effort just now, but now he was holding on to the cylinder, and he was panting when he spoke: "Tang Sancheng, I'm afraid I can't move forward with you, I can only drag you down like this." “

"How can I leave you here?"

"It's okay, someone has been here, we all know what traps are set here, and this place should be safe." Lei Zi said: "It's good that you know that this is the central hall, Bai Yi doesn't have a structural diagram of the tomb in his hand, I will come to me after I make peace with them." Lei Zi wiped the sweat on his head: "Take me away, if you encounter a mechanism, it's too late to flash." “

What Lei Zi said is not unreasonable, it should be safe here, compared to walking in a dangerous and unknown tomb, it is not a good thing to stay here, Tang Sancheng nodded as soon as he groaned: "Okay, you stay here, I will leave the water to you, after I meet Bai Yi, I will come to pick you up immediately, you must wait for me." ()“

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back." Lei Zi sat down against the porcelain jar: "I won't go anywhere." “

Tang Sancheng nodded: "Then I'll go first." “

Tang Sancheng walked to the entrance of the nave, pressed the mechanism, a door opened, and walked out of the tomb road, the tomb road was divided into two, one facing forward and the other facing backwards, Tang Sancheng didn't know much about the structure of the tomb, just walked forward by feeling, there was nothing special along the way, he called Bai Yi's name as he walked, I don't know where Bai Yi and the Seven Evils are now? There was another tomb in front of the nave, Tang Sancheng successfully entered it without much effort, and was disappointed after entering, the scale of this tomb was small, and when it was opened, no furnishings were found in it, and even the ground was only paved with yellow pine planks, not the stone pattern slabs seen in the nave just now.

The wooden planks laid on the floor of this burial chamber were quite large, each piece was three or four meters long, and the wooden planks had very large rut marks on them, which were exactly the same as those seen in the stone chamber under the well.

Seeing that there was nothing special in this tomb, Bai Yi and they were not here, Tang Sancheng didn't plan to stay longer, there was an exit in this tomb, so he waited there straightforwardly, not even a door, as if he was beckoning to Tang Sancheng: "You come, come quickly." ()“

Thinking of the mechanism leading to the cannibal tree in the middle hall just now, Tang Sancheng paid attention for a moment, such an obvious passage, could there be fraud? Tang Sancheng approached, picked up the gravel on the ground, and threw it inside, but he didn't hear the sound of the gravel falling for a long time, it seemed to be a bottomless trap.

He touched his chest, his heart was still pounding, and if he had walked over without hesitation just now, he was afraid that it would have ended up the same as this stone.

Tang Sancheng wanted to go out, and suddenly thought that Bai Yi had said that there were two tombs that were connected together, for the front hall and the back hall, just now the upper hall, if this tomb is the front hall, then the back hall is nearby? Generally, the apse is the coffin of the emperor's old son, Tang Sancheng was a little excited, he walked around the tomb, his eyes did not let go of any detail, there was nothing else in it except rut marks, rut marks, rut marks......

Tang Sancheng squatted on the ground, looking at this deep Che Che mark, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the rut mark seemed to be regularly distributed in the tomb, like an arrow! Tang Sancheng said "ha", such a cunning instruction, it turned out to be like this!

The rut mark pointed like an arrow to the wall on the right, after Tang Sancheng found this indication, he felt palpitations, this can't be another trap, right?

Tang Sancheng's forehead began to sweat, he took a deep breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and walked towards the wall on the right, his hand just touched the wall, and a shout came from behind him: "Don't move!" It was Bai Yi, Tang Sancheng was overjoyed, turned around, and sure enough, it was Bai Yi and the Seven Evils, seeing that Bai Yi's head was still bleeding, Tang Sancheng strode over: "I finally found you." ()“

The Seven Evils smiled bitterly: "We found you." “

"Bai Yi, what's going on with your head?" Tang Sancheng pointed at Bai Yi's head.

"Don't mention it, I'm all on fire right now in my stomach and there's nowhere to go." Bai Yi said hatefully: "It's been so long, I've never seen such an evil tomb, and I'm completely led by the nose, I'm playing tricks." “

It turned out that Bai Yi and the Seven Evils saw that Tang Sancheng was gone, and made up their minds to find the tomb, hoping to meet Tang Sancheng, so they walked forward along the golden tomb road, the golden tomb road is not long, it is divided into two tomb roads on the left and right in front, this time it is not gold, it is just an ordinary stone tomb road, and the two unanimously decided to go to the right, because Tang Sancheng disappeared from the right side of the golden channel.

The two of them walked to the right, and it didn't take long for them to see a door in front of them, to be exact, a door, consisting of two doors made of white marble, which were foliose, this kind of door Bai Yi understood, this type of door has the center of gravity on the inside of the door, heavy inside and light outside, and can be opened and closed freely. The outer side of the door leaf is engraved with nine horizontal and nine vertical nails and the head of the beast and the head of the beast, and the back of the door opposite to the head of the shop is left with a prominent stone sill, and the top of the door leaf is a copper pipe fan. The shaft ends of the two sets of door leaves are inserted into the two ends of the pipe leaves, and the whole door is dignified and exquisite, and the structure is stable.

The biggest feature of this kind of door is that it cannot be opened from the outside, just because there is a "tap stone" inside, and the stone strip from the top door from the inside is called a "tap stone". The method of closing the door with tap stone is to close one door tightly, close the other door to the inside of the stone trough on the ground, and someone in the door will put the tap stone in the middle of the stone trough on the ground, leaning on the half-covered door leaf sill. The man in the door withdrew through the crack in the door, pulled the unclosed door tight, and the running stone fell under the stone ridge of the two doors, and held the door firmly, so that the door was firmly closed.

Hearing this, Tang Sancheng was puzzled: "Then did you go in?" “

Bai Yi said angrily: "What do you think? You don't think that's all I can do, do you? Ever heard of Nail Keys? “

Tang Sancheng shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, what kind of key is this." “

This is a method of opening the door in ancient times, the stone door of the underground palace has a 3 cm slit, and the nail key is stuck in the door and the stone bar is pushed up, and the stone door can be opened. Chongzhen and his Empress Zhou were buried in the tomb of Concubine Tian, which is said to be this method. “

"You have?" Tang Sancheng was excited.

Bai Yi glanced at him: "I didn't, because the shape and size of the crutch key are unknown in history, so I just sighed that I didn't have the crutch key." “

There is no crutch key, Bai Yi and the Seven Evils have to find another way, Bai Yi has studied a lot, medicine, physics, business, etc., and has studied it, and it really made him think of a way, although there is no crutch key in his hand, but the principle of opening the door is the same, Bai Yi took out his kettle, disassembled the bottle mouth, took out the wire inside, processed the front end into a hook shape, and then stretched the wire into it through the crack in the door, now as long as the tap stone can be lassoed, and then the tap stone is jacked out of the ground stone groove with a wooden board from the crack in the door, You can remove the tap stone, and the door will open.

The theory is so, but the actual operation is much more difficult, especially to lasso the tap stone, the space is limited, in the process, Bai Yi also hit his head, fortunately, after some twists and turns, the tap stone was still moved, and they entered the tomb.

"Where is it?"

"It should be one of the left and right halls." Bai Yi said.

The two opened the door and entered it, this burial chamber is rectangular, the floor is paved with bluestone slabs, and there is a coffin bed in the center, the coffin bed is the platform on which the coffin is placed, and there is a white marble coffin on the coffin bed, and then there is nothing else, not even the basic furnishings.
