Chapter 64: The Main Burial Chamber

The three of them came to the fourth stone chamber, and saw water seeping into one of the stone walls of the fourth chamber.

The water seeping from the entire stone wall forms a large inverted Y-shaped lightning streak, and a large shallow puddle is formed at the junction of the bottom of this water mark with the ground. This watering hole occupies almost half of the huge stone chamber.

Chen Ziyang walked over and took a closer look at the leakage. The puddle was shallow, not so much a puddle as seeping water filling half of the stone chamber. Shining a flashlight in the water, Chen Ziyang saw that many places in the puddle were covered with moss, and it was very slippery when he stepped on it.

There was also a lot of moss growing on the stone wall, and there was a shallow crack in the middle of the water mark on the stone wall. Chen Ziyang estimated that the water seeped out of this crack. Judging from the growth of moss on the stone wall, the stone wall has been seeping for a long time, but the water seepage is not serious. Chen Ziyang touched the cold stone wall, and estimated that after ten or twenty years, even if this tomb was not stolen, all the contents inside would be eroded by water vapor.

There is also a large stone platform in this stone room, but on top of the stone platform are only piles of rotten wood. It is estimated that this stone room, like the third one, is also used for exhibition, but the exhibition is some woodworking tricks, but unfortunately after so many years and the erosion of water vapor infiltrated by mountain spring water, these wooden products have long been rotted.

Looking at the piles of rotten wood, some of the wooden parts that occasionally showed a relatively poor degree of decay, Chen Ziyang thought to himself, could this tomb owner be a craftsman? A carpenter and blacksmith? The things on the stone platform of the two stone chambers are the works of this person during his lifetime? Even if the owner of the tomb is a craftsman, I have never heard of a craftsman who has such a large pomp and can build such a large mausoleum.

If the owner of the tomb was not a craftsman, and the iron and wood objects were funerary goods, then the interest of the tomb owner was too unique. However, looking at the style of those mechanical products, it should be from the same person, who was this tomb owner during his lifetime? Now Chen Ziyang is curious about the identity of the owner of this tomb again.

It seems that all doubts will not be known until the exploration of the final passage five.

Tossed in the middle of the night, after finding nothing in the first four stone chambers, the three of them came to the final passage.

The location of the fifth passage is unique, at the end of the tomb road, there is an uneven stone wall, there are few artificial traces on the stone wall, at first glance it does not fit in with the style of the relatively flat tomb road, just in the middle of this stone wall, there is a hole wider than the other passages.

Although the entrance is wider, due to the unevenness of the stone wall and the wideness of the stone wall, the hole is better hidden by the optical illusion. The other caves are covered with rocks on the left and right, and the openings are hidden. However, the entrance at the end of the tomb is covered by the lower rocks, and the clues can only be found when you look at it from a small angle on both sides of the stone wall.

If it hadn't been discovered by the three people before, even if you stood two meters in front of this stone wall, you wouldn't have been able to find this hole. Chen Ziyang looked at this stone wall and sighed to Yang Lei: "It's really seamless, if it weren't for that breeze blowing on you, we would have turned back even if we walked here." ”

"Eryang, don't be emotional, it's true that you hurry up and go in and get something, we've been walking all night, and we haven't caught anything except holding back our stomachs, don't forget what we're here for."

Under Yang Lei's reminder, Chen Ziyang took the lead in climbing over the yellow rock wall in front of the cave entrance. The passage behind the stone wall is smooth and wider. The passage at the entrance is only about three or four meters, but when you walk to the back, three people walk side by side, and the distance between them is more than a meter wide.

Chen Ziyang paid attention to his feet as he walked, the ground was still yellow rocks. The geology here largely eliminates the possibility of installing anti-theft mechanisms. Chen Ziyang had a very strange idea, he always felt that everything designed in this tomb did not seem to be used to prevent theft, but to test the smelly people. Only those who persevere in the first few passages will be able to discover the secrets of the passage optical illusion. Only after discovering this secret can you discover the entrance to the main burial chamber at the end of the tomb by drawing a gourd scoop.

Chen Ziyang shook his head and denied his naïve idea, how could someone design a tomb to test tomb robbers, this idea is too unrealistic. The three of them groped their way out of the passage and into the main burial chamber.

Turning the flashlight to the high beam, Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai stood together at the entrance of the tomb and crossed the sweeping flashlight, taking a general look at the tomb. The size of the burial chamber was about the same size as the previous stone chambers, and it was still very empty, and in the middle of the burial chamber was a spherical hollow sculpture, and not far behind the sculpture, a miserable white sarcophagus lay flat there.

"Er Yang, why is this stone coffin so white......" Yang Lei said boldly when he saw that the coffin reflected a white and blue light under the strong flashlight.

"This coffin doesn't seem to be stone. It's like ......" Umbrella Shishuai looked at the coffin illuminated by the flashlight, and stopped talking.

"Oh, my umbrella brother, umbrella grandpa, you said, what are you selling at this time." Yang Lei stomped his foot anxiously.

"This coffin seems to be made of jade." Umbrella Shishuai frowned and said in a tone of not very sure.

"What's that? Jade's! Emerald or Hetian jade? As soon as Yang Lei heard that the coffin might be jade, his eyes lit up green, he forgot all his fears, and was about to go to the coffin with a shotgun, but was dragged back by Chen Ziyang.

"Don't make any extraneous branches, even if it's jade, can you take it, let's go over there first, and don't touch the coffin if we can get something." Yang Lei looked in the direction pointed by Chen Ziyang, and saw that there was a small room on the side of the tomb, and there seemed to be several boxes on the floor of the room. Yang Lei reluctantly followed over.

A small stone chamber was excavated from the side of the burial chamber, only a dozen square meters in size. There were three wooden boxes side by side on the ground of the stone room, and Umbrella Shi Shuai walked to the edge of the box and squatted down with Chen Ziyang, studying it carefully.

"Brother Umbrella. What to see? Chen Ziyang asked. I'll see if there's a mechanism near this box and if I can open it. ”

"Old umbrella, do you still know the mechanism? If you want to say Ziyang, look at me and believe it, are you okay? Yang Lei asked in a disbelieving tone.

"I don't understand, but don't forget that I was a sapper, and although I haven't been to minefields to clear mines, we have been exposed to all kinds of mines during training. I figured out that the mechanism and the mine work in the same way, except that they are triggered by some leads or springs, and they don't make sense. Umbrella Shishuai replied. felt that what Umbrella Shishuai said was reasonable, so Yang Lei did not continue to quarrel with him.

After carefully looking around the box twice, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, Chen Ziyang carefully opened the first box.
