Chapter 52, a thousand catties of sarcophagus
Cui Hao saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Don't be so stiff in the atmosphere, in fact, you can think about it, if the two of us also die in front, then you will have two more people to accompany the funeral, isn't that the truth?"
After speaking, Cui Hao also comforted the man.
"But don't worry, our little man is strong and will definitely be able to come out of it. When we come out, we will release you as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about it at all. It's a little dark for now, but there's nothing dangerous in there, just wait for us. ”
Although Cui Hao seems to be kind and good-spoken, he is actually a staunch supporter of my attitude.
Of course, he also thinks that the best thing to do now is to keep people here.
And most importantly.
There's a strange guy in that crack on the back side of us.
That guy wields a dagger if he doesn't agree with him, and he almost stabbed the two of us in half.
The best thing to do for such dangerous elements is to leave them alone.
I immediately turned around and walked out, and at the same time took Cui Hao to the place not far in front of the two coffins again.
I took out the rope and tied it around my waist.
I handed the other end of the rope to Cui Hao, who quickly tied it to his arm.
"Little Manye, don't worry. Today we want to live together, and if we want to die, we will die together. ”
I nodded, quickly took out the piece of paper, and followed the route marked on it.
The second and third caves are two inches ahead.
I tried to put my foot on it, and slowly shifted the center.
I was always worried that I would step on the air and fall straight into the hole below.
But this time it was a surprise to me.
I stepped on it steadily, and I didn't fall straight down.
"There's a door."
Cui Hao's voice was a little surprised.
I nodded, and immediately continued on the path shown above.
Soon, I was walking through the hollows to the last row.
I quickly stepped on the left side following his marker and managed to jump to the other side.
At this time, the coffin was half a meter behind me.
I often breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at Cui Hao.
"It's safe, you come here from where I just walked."
After saying that, I took out another rope from my backpack and quickly stepped on the hole where Wang Wangyang was with Shang Fang's sword.
The hole opens.
A ray of light came up from below.
Wang Wangyang clearly marked his position for us.
I immediately put the rope down.
Until it felt like the rope was being pulled by something.
I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled up with all my might.
However, this person's weight is still not light, and I tried all my strength to pull this guy up.
I could only give up helplessly, and wait for Cui Hao to come over and help me pull it together.
Cui Hao moved slowly, as if he was slowly thinking about the position where I had just walked away.
When this guy walks, he will also take ink out of his body and sprinkle it on the ground on the soles of his feet to mark us when we go back.
After a lot of twists and turns, he finally moved in front of me.
Cui Hao let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally here, and I've been worried I'm going to fall straight underneath."
I nodded and handed him half of the rope in my hand.
"Help, pull someone."
The two of us worked together, and finally dragged the people below up.
Wang Wangyang's body was embarrassed, and half of his clothes had been torn.
But even with this appearance, when standing in front of us, he still looks like a noble son, and his temperament is extremely elegant in his gestures.
"Thank you, both of you, I have made a note of this. After going out, you will definitely repay twice. ”
As he spoke, Wang Wangyang looked up behind us.
"Little Man, I have to ask you a question. How many tombstones did you step into this place? ”
That's not to say nothing.
I thought about it for a moment and gave him a five.
"The fifth tombstone, before we walked through the door of death, the door of life, the door of injury, the door of shock, this is the fifth door we walked."
Wang Wangyang hooked his lips and smiled.
"It's worthy of being a little man, and the judgment is really accurate. I thought that only I would find that this place is in line with the five elements of Bagua, and each tomb has its own corresponding door of good luck and evil. ”
After speaking, his gaze suddenly deepened a little.
"Little Man, can you tell me what the condition is in the other tombstones? I can help you analyze the situation. ”
That's not to say nothing.
Plus we've already explored the rest of the tombstones, and it's impossible to go back.
If he's interested, I can't care if he explores it himself.
I briefly told him what I had been going through.
"So, in my opinion, the door of death is the most dangerous, the door of death has been cracked by us, it is relatively safe, you can go there and get out."
Wang Wangyang nodded and thanked me.
"Thank you Xiao Manye for your advice, then according to my analysis, this place may most likely be the general's tomb."
I was stunned and asked puzzled.
"What does that mean?"
Wang Wangyang pointed to the cave in front of him and explained to me carefully.
"Look at the murals on the walls of this cave, you may not have looked at them carefully when you came. The above is the scene of the general guarding the country, I remember there is a ballad, which says that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the weapons are complete, the Yin soldiers guard the door, and the emperor returns. ”
Wang Wangyang's face was extremely serious.
"Think about it, the green dragon and white tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu correspond to four of them, and the death gate of the other four doors means that the troops are drawn to guard the door, and the emperor's tomb you walk in is the emperor's return."
He gestured around.
"And in this place, the murals on the walls clearly tell us that this is a general, which means that this corresponds to both weapons. So the next thing we have to deal with is most likely something like a cold weapon. ”
I never thought that so much could be analyzed from these details alone.
I thought carefully about what Wang Wangyang said, and it was indeed extremely reasonable.
"Then what do you mean is that we have gone to the White Tiger and Qinglong Tomb, and now only the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu is left, and the last Qinqi calligraphy and painting? But I want to know, where did you see this ballad? ”
I've never heard of such a so-called ballad ever sung anywhere.
Wang Wangyang shrugged his shoulders.
"Of course, it's on the coffin stele outside, if you want to see it, I'll only give you two when you go out. This line is hidden, so you may not have noticed it when you came in before, and I'll show you the location when I go out. ”
I'm noncommittal.
I'm not curious about this thing, I just want to know what's down there now.
I briefly examined the surroundings carefully, and then my eyes fell on the two coffins.
Wang Wangyang's attitude also became extremely serious.
"It's definitely not simple inside this coffin, so be careful when the two of us approach."
I nodded and winked at Cui Hao on the side.
He immediately walked up to my side and quickly raised the weapon in his hand.
The two of us slowly moved forward in a two-point lineup.
I raised the Shang Fang sword in my hand and gently pried it against the gap in the coffin.
However, it is clear that the coffin is tightly sealed, and the material of the coffin is made of extremely heavy stone bricks.
I just pried it up so hard that I couldn't just open the coffin.
"This thing is too tightly sealed."
Cui Hao thought about it and took out a small dagger from his body, his dagger was as thin as a cicada's wing, just enough to reach through the gap.
Cui Hao probed his brain and inserted the dagger into the gap, grinding it upwards vigorously.
"No, this thing can't be lifted at all."
The coffin is two or three meters long, plus the coffin is still made of stone.
It's not easy to pry this thing open.
I shook my head and dragged Cui Hao back.
"Don't mess around, if something happens in a while, we both have to explain here."
Wang Wangyang is not like the two of us, he circled around the coffin, looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing his appearance, Cui Hao leaned over with great interest.
"What are you doing here?"
Wang Wangyang shook his head and gently knocked on the sarcophagus wall.
"Don't think you can pry this thing open directly, I saw that this should be a thousand catties of stone, with your strength, even if you explain it here, you can't pry this thing open."
After speaking, Wang Wangyang waved his hand at us.
"But don't worry, I think there's probably a mechanism on this thing, look at this place."
He crouched down and pointed to the bottom of the coffin, near the ground.
"There were incargos in the place, and I found a stone trough next to it, and there were a few wheels thrown in it. These wheels are all made of stone, and these wheels have grooves on them, which can form a mortise and tenon structure with the sarcophagus, and they can be tightly fitted when beaten inside, so you don't have to worry about the wheels rolling out. ”
I immediately understood what Wang Wangyang meant.
"You mean, that's how they transported this coffin here, and since they've all learned to use this kind of wheel to transport the coffin, the lid of this coffin weighs a thousand pounds, and it shouldn't be possible to lift it by manpower, and they'll find other ways to open and close it."
Wang Wangyang nodded appreciatively at me.
"That's what I mean by Little Manye, so I think if this coffin wants to be opened, there must be a special mechanism. As long as we can find the location of this mechanism, it will be a breeze to open this coffin. ”
As he spoke, Wang Wangyang turned his head and continued to carefully search for traces and clues on the ground.
Seeing this, Cui Hao immediately joined in.
"Take one with me, and I'll help find it."
