Chapter 44: The Gate of Absolute Entry; Wall of the Dead
Xu Tianchuan's words made everyone frown subconsciously.
Especially the simple and thorough explanation of this Fuwang Xuangong made everyone realize the unusualness of this ancient tomb of Xichu.
But, since Xu Tianchuan can explain this Fuwang Xuangong so thoroughly, maybe Xu Tianchuan really has the ability to crack it?
"Shopkeeper Xu, you just said that there is a corresponding way to crack it?"
Jiao San looked at Xu Tianchuan and asked.
Xu Tianchuan nodded: "Yes!" Just like we found this place with three silk books, I guess that these four silk books should have been recorded by the people who built this Xuangong, the purpose is to open this ancient tomb again in the future, and in ancient times, some tomb builders with ulterior motives would write down the location of the tomb and all the mechanisms in the tomb, which is very normal. ”
"Four silk books? Aren't there only three? ”
Mo Junlin interjected at this time.
The corners of Xu Tianchuan's mouth curled up and smiled, since they have already come here, it doesn't matter if they say it: "What we have now are three, together they are the location of this Western Chu Tomb, in fact, there is another one, called 'Moon Order Taboo', which records the internal structure and mechanism of this Western Chu Tomb, but we don't!" ”
"Huh? Xu Tianchuan, why didn't you say it in advance before you came? ”
When Yang Zhenchuan on the side heard this, he immediately jumped up angrily.
Xu Tianchuan glanced at Yang Zhenchuan with disdain, and retorted without showing weakness: "You didn't ask in advance before your grandmother came!" If you're afraid of death, you can go back the way you came now, because we haven't entered the real Xuangong tomb anyway. ”
"You ......"
Yang Zhenchuan was furious, but he stopped exiting, because he knew that everyone was here, and besides, these were undoubtedly all, could it be that he really wanted to turn around and go home again, and wait until he found the silk book of 'Monthly Order Taboo' that Xu Tianchuan said?
"Alright, our infighting here won't solve the problem at all."
A hint of sharpness flashed in Mo Junlin's eyes, and he looked at Xu Tianchuan and asked politely: "Tianchuan, since you know so much, are you a little sure of going in advance?" Otherwise, I don't think you would have come here with us without the fourth most important silk book. ”
I have to say that Mo Chulin is still a little smart.
Xu Tianchuan looked directly at Mo Chunlin and smiled, and said to himself mysteriously: "Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to see the mountain, shaking the dragon and touching the gold to break the danger!" ”
This sentence means that the dragon hunt can be divided into gold and fixed holes, and the dragon can be broken by entering the fight and touching the gold.
The combination of the two, there is no ancient tomb in the world that cannot be broken!
Let's not say whether this is bragging, anyway, it literally means this, so Xu Tianchuan dared to come here to gamble in the absence of the 'monthly taboo'.
"Shopkeeper Xu, what you just said was a dragon-shaking decision?"
Originally, Xu Tianchuan's words were meant for himself, but when the Peerless Elder on the side heard Xu Tianchuan say this, his jaw almost didn't fall to the ground in surprise.
"Hey, this old horseman actually knows about the Dragon Shaker?"
Xu Tianchuan was also surprised in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, Elder Jiechen's master was the famous Touching Gold Captain Zhang Sanlian, and this Dragon Shaking Decision itself was also from the hands of General Youtian, the ancestor of the Touching Gold Captain, so it was normal for him to know some of them.
"Shopkeeper Xu, will you shake the dragon?"
Seeing that Xu Tianchuan was silent, Elder Jiechen glared at him again and asked.
Xu Tianchuan still didn't pay attention to Elder Jiechen, so he didn't think he could hear it, but looked at everyone and said: "Since the missing monthly order taboo records the location of the main tomb and various organs of this Fuwang Xuangong, this shows that this Fuwang Xuangong is not invulnerable, but still has an opportunity to break!" ”
"Shopkeeper Xu is right!"
This time, Elder Zhuchen did not dismantle the stage again, but chose to stand on Xu Tianchuan's side.
"So let's take a gamble? I don't care, but there is one thing I want to explain in advance, this ancient tomb is too dangerous, I want to add money, in addition to the five thousand oceans that Shopkeeper Yang gave me as a mercenary money, I will give me an extra two percent! ”
Jiao San looked at everyone with a serious expression and said.
In fact, Jiao San's request is not too much, first the gentleman and then the villain, and it is also in line with the norm if he has the conditions to say it in advance.
Xu Tianchuan didn't care, anyway, his main purpose was to pry the coffin.
"Okay, I and the ink shopkeeper will each give you one percent!"
Yang Zhenchuan was bold.
Mo Junlin chose to be silent and did not speak, which means that he can only choose to default in this case.
Everyone made up their minds and set off again and walked straight along the road.
On both sides of the corridor, there is an equally narrow tomb door every five meters, and the spacing is very precise and accurate.
Even though the lanterns on both sides of the corridor have become much brighter, it is still impossible to determine where these narrow tomb doors lead.
Of course, with such a spacious main road, it will definitely not be easy to 'drill the dog hole'.
But what made everyone stupid, after walking forward for about thirty meters, two huge bronze doors appeared closed to block the way ahead.
This bronze door is similar to the one in the Wolf Temple, and is also carved with exquisite reliefs.
But this bronze door is not rusty, so the relief on it can be seen very clearly, it is a lifelike, wind-swept gluttonous beast, which is used to town the tomb.
In ancient times, there was a deep worship of such sacred beasts, and they were also the most common tomb beasts in ancient tombs.
There is no doubt that this must be the gate to the Fuwang Xuan Palace, so it is closed.
The corridor that came down from the Wolf Temple just now was just a 'vestibule' of the Xuan Palace.
"Master Chen, look at this bronze door, how to open it?"
Mo Chunlin asked Elder Jiechen at this time.
Jiao San didn't dare to move, because this was beyond the scope of his knowledge of tomb robbing, and Xu Tianchuan also said just now that this Xuan Palace must be full of organs, maybe as soon as this bronze door is opened, there will be thousands of sharp arrows waiting for him behind it.
"It's a door! You see the two white jade thresholds below, in fact, two high and low deep grooves, behind each copper door there are two huge stone balls placed in the deep groove, when the copper door is closed, the two copper doors will reserve a three-inch wide gap, and then use a long-handled hook to reach into the door crack, pull the stone ball in the deep groove, the stone ball rolls down along the deep groove from the top, just from the back against the copper door, unless it is destroyed, otherwise it is impossible to open. ”
Elder Jedi stroked his white beard, and his explanation was very clear and accurate.
This is indeed a door, and once it is closed, it has no intention of opening it again.
"Sabotage? This is easy to do, we have gunpowder with us! ”
When Jiao San heard this, he immediately wanted to take out the gunpowder from his body, but he was immediately stopped by Elder Jiechen: "You can't destroy it with violence!" You see that the whole tomb is made of blue bricks, but without any clay, commonly known as the 'dead man's wall', the main purpose is to prevent tomb robbers, if the tomb robbers want to enter the tomb from the top, or destroy it with violence, as long as more than ten tomb bricks are moved, the entire tomb will inevitably collapse! Even at key locations, the removal of a single tomb brick could cause the entire tomb to collapse! ”
"It can't be destroyed, it's a desperate door, so that means it's out of line?"
Jiao San's eyes widened as he looked at Elder Jiechen.
And Elder Jiechen looked at Xu Tianchuan at this time, which meant that he really had no choice himself, so it depended on whether Xu Tianchuan had this ability.
"The door of the dead, the wall of the dead; The threshold is difficult to guard. ”
Xu Tianchuan silently recited a mantra in his heart to shake the dragon.
This mantra of shaking the dragon is aimed at the door of the dead and the wall of the dead in front of you.
The mantra 'The threshold is three feet and the god is difficult to prevent' means that the flaw in the door and the wall of the dead is three feet above the threshold, three feet high upwards, and three feet wide along the wall.
Xu Tianchuan walked to the bronze door, measured three feet at the position of the brick pillars on both sides, and then made a mark on it, and then turned his head to Jiao San and said: "This whole tomb was built without any clay, so every stone brick is loose, knock this stone brick off!" ”
Jiao San was hired by Yang Zhenchuan for a lot of money, so this kind of work should be done by Jiao San and his subordinates, otherwise what would they do if they were hired.
Although Jiao San was a little puzzled, he still called two more subordinates according to Xu Tianchuan's instructions, and used the iron rod of the Luoyang shovel to put it on the stone bricks marked by Xu Tianchuan, and rammed it hard.
Elder Jiechen also said just now that this is the 'Wall of the Dead', and if it is in a key position, even destroying a brick will cause the entire tomb to collapse, so Xu Tianchuan's move is undoubtedly risky.
Boom......
Because the wall tiles were not made of clay, they were rammed very easily, and in just five or six strokes, the stone brick marked by Xu Tianchuan was punched in, revealing a hole in the brick pillar.
The whole wall did not appear to be unusual, which means that the stone brick is safe.
Thundered......
Immediately after, there was a rumbling sound from behind the bronze door, like a boulder rolling rapidly along the back of the bronze door, and finally stopped with a bang, which felt very obvious.
Listening to the sound of the last collision, Xu Tianchuan smiled, and at the same time instantly understood the principle.
This door is made up of two stone balls placed in deep grooves, using the principle of rolling, rolling to the back of the copper door, merging the grooves, and sealing the door from behind.
And the secret of this lies in the deep groove where the stone balls are placed.
Knocking out a stone brick three feet high in the brick wall just raised the deep groove and allowing the stone ball to roll again, thus opening the groove.
It seems that this dragon shaking duel is indeed awesome!
But if you take the wrong stone brick, it is impossible to raise the deep groove where the stone ball is placed, and if you try a few more times, the name of this 'wall of the dead' is not just a joke!
