Seeing that everyone nodded in response, Lu Nianqi didn't say much, just said let's wait in the temple for a while, and then he turned around and walked directly towards the gate of the Diwang Temple.

About three or five minutes later, Lu Nianqi returned to the temple, and there was a gray mouse the size of a palm in his hand, he placed the mouse on the ground and stepped on it with the soles of his feet, and the mouse squeaked and screamed in pain.

Lu Nianqi glanced down at the mouse, and then immediately took out a bundle of rope from his backpack.

Untie the rope to the waist and abdomen of the mouse, and then throw the mouse into the tunnel.

As the rat entered the dark passage and kept crawling, the rope in Lu Nianqi's hand was also constantly being pulled into the dark passage.

In just a few minutes, a bundle of tens of meters of rope remained, and less than a meter remained.

Lu Nianqi saw that the time had come, so he began to pull the rope hard, and soon the gray mouse was pulled out.

Lu Nianqi untied the rope at the waist and abdomen of the mouse and pinched the abdomen of the mouse with his right hand, and then carefully looked at the state of the mouse.

After observing for about a minute, Lu Nianqi's palm loosened, and the mouse jumped directly to the ground, and soon disappeared.

"Now that the air in the tomb has been circulated, I will go down first to crack the silver needle mechanism, and then you will go down when I call you, and don't act rashly without my order."

After Lu Nianqi finished speaking, he was about to enter the dark passage, but he didn't expect that a rumbling sound came again when he just jumped onto the high platform, and the statue directly blocked the entrance to the dark passage.

Seeing this, the corners of Lu Nianqi's mouth opened slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's a little interesting, this secret channel mechanism even has a timing device, it seems that this ancient tomb is indeed not simple." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Nianqi raised his hand and waved, and the three stones hit the futon in turn.

After triggering the mechanism, the secret passage was opened again, and then Lu Nianqi walked to the front of the dark passage, and after catching the three silver needles shot inside, he jumped into the dark passage, and he was never seen again.

Since Lu Nianqi didn't let us act at will before, we had to stand still and wait patiently.

After a while, there was a clicking sound in the dark passage, like the sound of disassembling things, and soon a black shadow was thrown up from the dark passage, and after landing, there was also the sound of iron colliding.

Looking down, there were wooden boxes the size of a human head scattered on the high platform.

The box is not delicate, but it is very cleverly made, and it is not only inlaid with gears but also conveyor belts.

As for the sound of iron colliding, it was a silver needle falling from the wooden box, and it seemed that Lu Nianqi had cracked the mechanism hidden at the entrance of the dark passage.

"This is the mechanism for shooting silver needles?" Ning Nanxi took a step forward and carefully looked at the wooden box, his eyes full of surprise.

Su Ding Qin walked to the high platform to see the scattered silver needles, looked at them for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, these silver needles are hidden between the wooden boxes, and as long as someone gets close, they can trigger the mechanism, so as to turn the silver needles through the internal gears." ”

"It's just a box made of ordinary wood, how does it know that someone is approaching the tunnel?" Shen Nanxiao looked at the wooden box on the high platform and asked puzzled.

Su Dingqin shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said that he didn't know, but the organ gate in the outer eight elements specializes in the study of organ pins, and they should know the mechanism structure of this wooden box, if they have the opportunity to meet the disciples of the organ gate in the future, they can ask them for advice.

As soon as Su Dingqin's voice fell, a strange sound came from the dark passage, and following the sound, Lu Nianqi had already poked his head out of the dark passage.

I saw that he was wearing a lamp like a miner's lamp above his head, and he was covered in dust, as if he had just crawled out of the mound.

"Brother Lu, what's the situation below, is there any danger?" Su Dingqin looked at Lu Nianqi and asked worriedly.

Lu Nianqi glanced at the wooden box on the stone platform, and said that there were no other mechanisms in the ground except for the wooden box mechanism for the time being, and there were earth walls all around.

It is covered with traces of knife splitting and axe carving, which should have been excavated by hand.

Then Lu Nianqi asked a few of us to bring our equipment and enter the dark passage in turn, and after Su Dingqin and the others entered it, I walked to the front of the dark passage.

Looking down, the stone platform is about one and a half meters high from the bottom of the dark passage, and the bottom is all soil layers.

I slowly entered the dark passage with both hands supporting the bluestone slabs on both sides, and as soon as I entered, I felt a chill all over my body.

After standing firm, I looked into the dark passage with the help of the light, and what caught my eye was a long and narrow corridor, with a height of about one meter and two meters, and a width of two meters.

At the end, it was pitch black because the light could not reach it, and it seemed that we had to lean over to pass through, because it was impossible to walk upright in this passage.

"A few of you follow me, follow my footsteps, don't talk loudly, judging from the smell of the dirt in this tomb, this tomb is a thousand years old, and there may be something in it, so remember not to startle the snake."

After Lu Nianqi finished speaking, he took out a short knife from his waist and protected it in front of his chest, and walked cautiously towards the depths of the tomb, behind which were Su Dingqin and Shen Nanxiao, and Ning Nanxi and I were at the rear.

When I was in college, I had read a lot of novels about tomb robbing, but the words were never as real as they were, and I could even hear the sound of my heart beating in my chest when I walked.

We followed Lu Nianqi all the way, and after walking for about ten minutes, we came to the end of the passage.

Looking left and right, another passage appeared on the left side of the end, which was nearly twice as tall as the previous one, and we finally didn't have to bend over to move forward.

Su Dingqin saw that the passage turned backwards, and immediately took out the map of Yangguan Ridge from his backpack, and checked it, and he determined that the clue Xiang Liang left for us was the route to the ancient tomb.

Because according to the next punctuation point of the Diwang Temple, it is the sealed soil slope, and it is indeed necessary to turn after arriving at the sealed soil slope, and the distance from the Diwang Temple to the sealed soil slope is indeed ten minutes.

After turning, we continued to walk along the road, and after walking for more than 20 minutes, Lu Nianqi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and several of us immediately stood firm.

"What's the matter, is there a mechanism ahead?" Su Dingqin stopped Lu Nianqi and stepped forward and asked in a low voice in Lu Nianqi's ear.

"I'm not sure yet, but there is definitely a problem, there are traces of the probe claw above the earthen wall, and there are footprints on the ground, but there are no footprints within five meters in front, and the footprints appear again after the five meters range, which means that there must be a problem within these five meters, I think the mud dragon must have found that there is a problem underground, so he used the probe claw to swing over." Lu Nianqi said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Shen Nanxiao came to Lu Nianqi's side, looked down and glanced at it, and then puzzled: "This is just a flat land, where did you come from, are you too nervous?" ”

"Mud Long'er is a rare genius of tomb robbery, the reason why he is called this name is because he can escape the ground, walking like a long dragon underneath, so he is called Mud Long'er, I think he must have drilled into the ground in advance, and found that there is a problem before he chooses this way to get through here, if you don't believe it, you look here."

As he spoke, Lu Nianqi turned around and pointed to the side behind him, and a few of us looked in the direction of his finger.

There is indeed a pile of raised soil on the ground on the side of the earth wall, which is different from the surrounding scene, and it seems that this place should be the place where the mud dragon escapes.

"Mud Long'er must have gone underground from this place to find out the problem, I don't have the ability to escape like Mud Long'er, so I must be more cautious."

Lu Nianqi took off his backpack and took out a silver ball from it, which was about the size of an orange, hollowed out on the outside, and a silver ball on the inside.

When it shakes, it makes a crisp brass bell, and behind the ball is a string as thick as a noodle.

"Brother Lu, what are you holding in your hand?" I looked at Lu Nianqi and asked.

Lu Nianqi spread his hands and put this thing in front of me, saying that this thing has no name, it is a thing used to explore the way.

When the silver ball is thrown, it rolls on the ground, and it will make different sounds when it touches different grounds, and the sound will be different if it is hollow underground.

After speaking, Lu Nianqi wrapped one end of the rope around his fingertips, then squatted down and shook his body hard, only to hear a whoosh, the silver ball flew out directly, and after falling to the ground, it began to roll.

As it rolled, the copper ball in the silver ball collided with the outer wall and made a sound, and the sound was dull at first, but after a few seconds, the sound became a little ethereal and crisp.

After the silver ball rolled past the range of five meters, the sound became dull again, and then Lu Nianqi's wrist flicked, and the silver ball was directly withdrawn into his palm.

"The sounds are different within a five-meter radius, and it looks like there's a mechanism hidden here."

As he spoke, Lu Nianqi put the silver ball back into his backpack, and then took out a stone from his pocket.

I saw that with a flick of his wrist, a stone hit the ground directly, and there was an endless crackling sound in an instant, followed by dust in front of him.

Seeing this, several of us immediately took a few steps back, and did not dare to come forward to watch until the dust gradually cleared.

At this time, a five-meter-long pit has appeared in the ground in front of him, and the two sides of the pit are connected to the stone wall.

I slowly leaned forward to look down at the pit and gasped.

The hole is about three meters above the ground, and the inside is full of spikes made of bamboo, and there are several wooden slabs scattered among them.

Stones of various sizes were suspended by ropes underneath the slabs, and it seemed that the crackling response was made by these slabs.

"Brother Lu, what kind of organ is this?" I looked at Lu Nianqi and asked.

"This is a common chain flap in ancient tombs, although this kind of mechanism is more common, but the effect is not bad, and there are countless disciples who died under the chain flap in our tomb robbery line." Lu Nianqi said in a deep voice.

According to Lu Nianqi, the chain flap is a kind of hidden weapon of the mausoleum organ, that is, digging a pit about three meters deep in the mausoleum tomb, the length and width depend on the specific situation of the tomb, the pit is distributed about ten centimeters or about ten centimeters of knife and cone sharp weapon or sharp bamboo piece, the upper layer of the pit is covered with several wooden boards, there is a shaft in the middle of the wooden board, and a small object of the same weight is decorated with a small scale, which is in the shape of a balance scale, and there is a cover on the board.

If a grave robber steps on a plank, one end of the board sinks, and the person falls onto the sharp blade in the pit, and the sharp blade penetrates the grave robber's chest and internal organs, and the probability of crawling out alive is almost zero.

"I didn't expect this tomb owner to be so ruthless, setting up such a fierce mechanism in this tomb." Shen Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

"The reason why the tomb owner is doing this is also because he is worried that his tomb will be stolen by future generations, but this chain flap is inferior in the tomb mechanism, and it is not a powerful mechanism, the real mechanism kills people invisibly, and you have already died without even knowing what is going on."

After speaking, Lu Nianqi took out a bundle of rope from his backpack and took out another probing claw.

After tying the probe claw to the front of the rope, he raised his hand and pointed to the top of the earth wall, and said in a deep voice: "After a while, I will throw the probe claw out and hook the earth wall, and you will pass in turn, but after the two of them cross, they will have to change places again, this earth wall is not as good as the stone wall, and the weight is different, if several of us use this position, it is easy to cause the probe claw to fall, and then we will inevitably fall into this trap, and then it will be troublesome." ”
