Section 39 The Bronze Ice Gate of the Warring States Tomb
The ice at the entrance was quickly cleaned up by Wen Yuan, revealing a strange bronze eye tomb door, all the information that Guo Qianqian had collected before about the Warring States Tomb was completely useless, this Warring States Tomb was obviously different from other Warring States tombs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Guo Qianqian approached the tomb door, and after looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but raise my right hand, I stared at her and asked, "Guo Qianqian!
Guo Qianqian looked at me in surprise, then took her hand back and made a very embarrassed expression.
I glared at her and told everyone again, "Everyone stay put, remember, don't touch anything!"
Guo Qianqian turned around and left the tomb gate, walked to a slightly distant place and stood there motionless, the cave was full of ice, and there was no way to find a place to sit.
Seeing that she has been in a bad mood, I naturally feel a little guilty, anyway, she is also her boyfriend, so I should naturally take good care of her outside. I opened my backpack and took out a blanket from inside, then walked over to Qianqian, spread the blanket on a stone, and then pulled her to sit on it to rest.
Guo Qianqian looked at me with aggrieved eyes, reached out and took my hand and asked, "Xiao Feng, are you cold?"
I shook my head and asked her, "I'm not cold, are you cold?"
Guo Qianqian nodded, this time she finally didn't lose her temper with me.
I reached out and untied the scarf around my neck, wrapped it around her neck for her, and then told her: "Sit here and don't move, Wen Yuan and I will go to see how the door of this tomb opens!"
Guo Qianqian nodded silently and said to me, "Okay, be careful!"
I smiled, turned and went back to the bronze door.
I gestured to everyone and told everyone to step back to a safe area, and then walked to the bronze door with Wen Yuan, carefully inspecting the folding bronze door.
Logically speaking, the people who built the underground palace would not expose the tomb door to the outside, unless they deliberately guided the people outside into the tomb. We have been to the three tombs in Jincheng, Yuncheng and Ganzhou, and the tomb doors of these three tombs are built in very conspicuous positions. Because these are the tombs of the great wizards, they are intended to guide outsiders to enter, because there are important items left for future generations to take, so the tomb door is built to make it convenient for outsiders to enter, without the need to dig deep rammed earth to find the entrance.
But this ancient tomb is said to be Li Mu's tomb, why did his tomb build such a conspicuous tomb door, could it be that he is also guiding outsiders to enter his underground palace, could it be that Li Mu also has important items to leave for future generations?
The eye-shaped bronze door does not have a copper ring mechanism that can be pulled on the door of the tomb of Weiqing in Ganzhou, and the whole copper door is long and narrow, leaving enough space to show the pattern of a human eye. Historically, when the ancients drew and described things, they depicted things in an abstract form, and rarely made a clear depiction of things simulated. But this human eye is different, every small part is engraved according to the appearance of a real person, and the pattern is very finely made.
Wen Yuan asked me, "Uncle, this bronze door doesn't have an obvious opening prompt, could it be that protrusion in the center of the eyeball?"
I nodded and said, "Possibly, let's try!"
After saying that, I also flashed to the side and asked Wen Yuan to try to open the door. Wen Yuan's kung fu is better, and the most dangerous thing has always been for him to try, when Wen Yuan reached out and touched the bronze eyeball.
I only heard a clicking sound from the inside of the copper door, and then there was a rumbling sound from the stone wall next to the copper door, and the tomb door was slowly opened.
Suddenly, countless hidden weapons were swishing out from the tomb, and the speed was so fast that everyone was terrified, and no one expected that the hidden weapons would shoot out after the bronze door was opened, and the design of this mechanism was unexpected.
Wen Yuan was a little negligent, although he dodged in time, he was still shot in the right shoulder by one of the copper arrows, and the blood immediately stained his coat red.
I hurriedly stepped forward, helped Wen Yuan to sit down on the ground to the side, and immediately called out to Jia Hesheng, a colleague in charge of medical care in the team.
Jia Hesheng was a member of our second joint archaeological team only two years ago, he graduated from Shanghai Medical University, and has been in charge of medical care in the team. But we were very careful every time we did archaeology, and basically none of the people in the second team were injured, and this was the first time he had something to do.
Jia Hesheng is 29 years old this year and has a very beautiful little daughter, who is easy-going and rarely speaks. After seeing that Wen Yuan was hit by the hidden weapon, he comforted with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, I just shot the muscles in the shoulder, and I didn't hurt the muscles and bones, just pull out the copper arrow!"
Wen Yuan endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and said to me: "I'm sorry uncle, I was careless just now, I didn't expect that there would be a hidden weapon shooting out after the copper door was opened, I was too careless!"
Before I could speak, Zhang Xianyun immediately said: "This copper arrow is so fast and so dense, you are also very powerful, you were only shot with one copper arrow, if this were to be replaced by me, it is estimated that my body would be shot into a sieve!"
Jia Hesheng smiled and said, "Yes, this mechanism is really dangerous, Wenyuan, you ......"
"Ah......", just as Jia Hesheng was talking, Wen Yuan suddenly let out a miserable scream, and everyone looked over in surprise, only to see that Jia Hesheng had already taken out the copper arrow.
Wen Yuan asked angrily: "Jia Hesheng, why don't you pull out the arrow in advance, so that I can be prepared!"
Jia Hesheng smiled and said, "Hehe, I deliberately want to talk to you, take advantage of your inattention to pull it out suddenly, so that you don't have to have so much burden and tension in your heart!
Wen Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not good, my shoulder seems to feel a little numb!"
Zhang Xianyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, reached out and picked up the copper arrow from Jia Hesheng's hand, looked at the arrow carefully, and then he hurriedly said: "It's not good, this copper arrow arrow has been smeared with severe poison, uncle, you see, the arrow parts are black!"
I frowned and took a closer look, and sure enough, the whole arrow was black, but the body remained its normal bronze color.
Jia Hesheng immediately picked up the flashlight and carefully examined Wen Yuan's wound, and he quickly said anxiously: "It's not good, it's really poisonous, the blood in the wound has coagulated!"
Hearing that Wen Yuan's wound was abnormal, I asked anxiously: "Lao Jia, is there any way to save Wen Yuan, do you want us to carry him out and send him to the hospital immediately?"
Jia Hesheng replied while purging his medicine box: "It's definitely too late to send it to the hospital, don't panic, I have the antidote here, give him an injection and it should be fine!", after speaking, Jia Hesheng took out the needle and medicine, and continued while busy: "The ancients used poison, which was generally extracted from plants, and my bottle of special antidote is specially used to treat ancient poisons, rest assured that it will be fine!"
After the needle went down, Jia Hesheng reached out and patted it again at the place where Wenyuan was injected, speeding up his blood circulation. Then he began to clean Wen Yuan's wound with disinfectant, and he said while he was busy: "Captain, Wen Yuan can't accompany you to the grave anymore, you have to stay here to recuperate!
Wait for Wen Yuan to recover from his injuries, wouldn't it be necessary to wait for two or three months, the archaeological work is the business of the entire joint archaeological team, how can the archaeological operation be suspended just because one person is injured!
I got up and said, "Lao Jia, you just stay here to take care of Wen Yuan, let's continue to go to the tomb, and the archaeological work can't be stopped just because Wen Yuan is injured, this can't be said!"
Guo Qianqian came over and pulled me and persuaded me: "Xiao Feng, you see how dangerous it is just now, let's wait for Wen Yuan's injury to heal before going to the tomb, his kung fu is good, and I can rest assured that he is there!"
I looked at Qianqian, and now she finally knew that the ancient tomb was indeed very dangerous, and she knew how to worry about me.
I smiled slightly, reached out and left her hand and said, "It's okay, you stay here and have a good rest, wait for us to come back!"
Chen Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Xiao, I've thought about it, I'll go to the tomb with you!"
This kid chose to stay outside the entrance of the tomb when he stood in line before, and now he is impulsive and wants to go to the tomb together, so hesitant to take it down will cause a lot of trouble. I shook my head, rejected him directly, and then beckoned Zhang Xianyun, ready to lead people into the tomb immediately.
At this time, Wen Yuan put his hand into his long backpack, took out a sword from it, stretched out his hand and handed it to me, and said, "Uncle, bring this sword, it is better to solve the mechanism in the ancient tomb in the most primitive way!"
Isn't this the Demon Slayer Sword left for me by the Great Wizard?When did Wen Yuan bring it here for me, but my swordsmanship is not very proficient!
I hesitated for a moment, but I still reached out and took the demon slaying sword, held the sword tightly in my hand, and followed Zhang Xianyun with a flashlight into the tunnel behind the tomb gate.
This tunnel is relatively spacious, and the walls around the tomb are covered with icicles, and it seems that the temperature of this tomb is still very low. The whole burial path was as I had seen on the hillside, long and straight, with an inclined shape leading directly to the bottom of the opposite mountain.
We were very careful along the way, but luckily there were no other mechanisms installed in the tombway, and I was able to pass through this long tomb passage very smoothly, and finally came to a large ice cave!
The ice cave is supposed to be located deep in the mountain, but the light here is clear, and we can see everything inside without flashlight.
The ice cave is relatively high, with countless ice picks hanging from the top of the head, and judging from the structure of the entire cave, this should be an open burial chamber, because the water vapor condenses and freezes all around, so it looks more like a cave. Due to the thick layer of ice condensed on the surrounding walls, we couldn't get any information from the burial chamber, or even the location of the burial tunnel.
I can't see the tomb behind it, because there is a tall copper door at the entrance of the tomb in front of me, because the ice on it is so thick that the ice blocks are connected into a whole, and there is no door hidden in the ice at all.
If you want to go in and visit the tomb, you have to break the ice and open the door, which is a very troublesome job, the temperature here is very low, and the ice should have existed for more than 2,000 years, and it is not so easy to knock off!
I sighed and said, "Xianyun, what should I do? It's too cold here, the ice is so thick, how can I get in!"
Zhang Xianyun asked stunned: "But uncle, where is the tomb where I entered, I haven't found it after looking for a long time!"
I stretched out my hand and raised the Demon Slayer Sword, looked back at the tomb road, walked straight in the opposite direction to the Ice Wall Money, and gently knocked off the ice flowers on it with the Demon Slaying Sword!
Then I pointed my sword at the wall of the ice cave and said, "See, the tomb is inside the ice, and there is a bigger bronze door here!"
Zhang Xianyun stretched out his hand to wipe the ice foam, looked at it close to the ice, and then said in surprise: "Ah, there is really a door inside the ice, what can this do! Even if the ice outside is knocked off, the mechanism of the copper door must also be frozen, how can it be hit!"
At this time, a colleague came over and said: "Captain, why don't we build a fire here, let the fire melt the ice, then the copper door is also heat conductive, and it is estimated that it will be good to bake the mechanism!"
I looked around the ice room and asked, "Okay, then you go and make a fire, you don't have anything to burn here?"
A few other colleagues walked over and took out a lot of alcohol and stoves from their backpacks, which they had prepared for cooking food in the wild. There was no cold wind in the ice chamber, and the burial chamber was still ventilated, and it seemed that the vents were not frozen up.
After seeing that I agreed, my colleagues began to hurriedly light a fire in front of the bronze ice door with strips of cloth dipped in alcohol, adding alcohol from time to time while burning the fire, and leaning violently against the ice wall.
Due to the long wait, they lit the alcohol stove and poured in mineral water and began to cook the noodles.
I sat down and took the bread out of my backpack, and suddenly I noticed that the bread was frozen hard and it tasted very unpleasant.
Colleagues smiled and said: "Don't eat the cheerleader, it's so cold that you can bite the bread! We'll help you cook a bowl too, and the beef is guaranteed to taste very good!"
Hearing what they said, I had to put the bread back up, took out a bottle of mineral water, and tried to take a few sips, but found that the bottle of mineral water was also frozen and I couldn't drink anything. I can freeze all the mineral water in the bag, and it can be seen that the temperature here is minus 10 degrees, which makes my hands and feet a little numb and unconscious.
Or my colleagues know how to enjoy life, first bringing me a cup of steaming coffee, and then a pot of fragrant beef noodles.
Under the incessant baking of the fire, the ice wall in front of the bronze ice gate finally began to appear water droplets, dripping to the ground.
It was estimated that it would take a long time to melt and see the bronze door, so I pulled out a blanket from my bag, rolled it up in a ball, and fell asleep first.
When Zhang Xianyun stretched out his hand to push me awake, the fire had already baked the bronze door red, all the ice beside the ground gate had completely melted, and another tall bronze gate was revealed in front of us.
