Chapter 39: The Tomb Mechanism
The King Kong umbrella has finally been built.
Chen Zhou was no longer ambiguous, and took the team of Captain Touching Jin and General Faqiu Zhonglang, left Puyang, and rushed to Chen Liu.
This time the tomb robbery operation, Cao Ang did not follow.
The two hundred and fifty people were led by Dian Wei, and Dian Wei followed Chen Zhou, and soon came to a place more than thirty miles southwest of Chen Liu, where there were mountains, and the mountains were not very high.
The tomb of the king of Zhongshan is among them, and before leaving, Chen Zhou sent someone to investigate here.
"Did you find the entrance to the tomb of the king?"
As soon as Chen Zhou arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he asked Dian Wei.
"Found it."
Dian Wei nodded.
The people who had come to investigate in advance had already figured out the place, and they came to the other side of the mountain together.
At this time, it no longer snowed, and the snow had melted almost to the point where it was easier to find the entrance to the tomb, and the person in charge made a mark here.
"Our people have checked, this is the nearest village, almost ten miles away, the nearby fields have long been abandoned, let alone at night, even during the day, no one comes, you can rest assured that you can dig graves." Dian Wei said again.
Chen Zhou took a Luoyang shovel and stabbed it in the direction of the tomb door.
Repeating it several times, a small hole was dug deep into it.
Soon, the Luoyang shovel touched the hard tomb door, making a crisp collision sound, and roughly judged that the soil covering the front of the tomb door was not thick, and there was no need to rush to dig.
"I'll do it again tonight, and now I'll rest and regain my strength."
Chen Zhou ordered.
More than two hundred soldiers, all sat down to rest, recuperate, and waited for the carrying of the belongings inside tonight.
"Sir, why does it have to be at night?"
Dian Wei asked puzzled.
Wouldn't it be better to dig graves during the day?
Chen Zhou explained: "First, it is not easy to be discovered by others when it is hidden at night, and secondly, it is easy to communicate with the owner of the tomb at night. ”
This casual flickering sentence suddenly made Dian Wei and more than 200 others feel a gust of wind again.
Even in broad daylight, there was a cloudy wind.
In particular, the fifty soldiers who had seen a ghost blowing out the lamp seemed to believe that there were really ghosts.
They don't care if what the gentleman says is right or not, as long as they feel that what the gentleman says makes sense.
Soon, night fell.
The soldiers began to excavate, and the door of the tomb soon appeared in front of them, and then pried open with iron rods, and a smell of decay rushed out from inside.
They didn't go in right away, waiting for the air to circulate inside before they moved.
"Sir, how do you say that this King of Zhongshan Mourning compares to the royal tomb of King Liang Xiao?" Dian Wei rubbed his hands in anticipation.
The Western Han Dynasty had a push order.
The weight of King Mourning in Zhongshan is not as high as King Jing of Zhongshan, and it can be said that the grade of this tomb is not as good as King Jing of Zhongshan and King Xiao of Liang.
But the family of King Jing of Zhongshan has a very fine tradition, that is, super ability.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 200 sons and daughters of the big stallion Liu Sheng, although Liu Chang, the king of Zhongshan mourning, is not as powerful as Liu Sheng, but half of them are already very good.
Liu Chang's children are only the third generation, and Tui Enling has not cut them too hard, and those children are still rich.
As for now, under the influence of Tui'en Order, Liu Bei, the King of Zhongshan, can only sell straw sandals.
Then the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan, there are more treasures in it, it is said that there are even golden jade clothes, Chen Zhou does not know how greedy he is, but it is a pity that the distance is too far, and he must dig it if he has the opportunity in the future.
Based on these judgments, Chen Zhou said: "It may be richer than the tomb of King Liang Xiao." ”
When they heard this, they became so excited that they forgot about the ghost blowing the lamp.
This time the waiting time was longer, about an hour passed, Chen Zhou asked people to put the chickens he brought, and after waiting for a long time, he dragged the chickens out, still alive.
"Do it!"
Chen Zhou said: "This time I will go to the grave in person, and you will listen to my orders." ”
It is not possible to go to the tomb in person, because this tomb of King Wai of Zhongshan does not know what mechanism there is inside, and it is not like the tomb of King Liang Xiao, Chen Zhou does not know the structure of it, so he has to be careful, otherwise more than 200 people may stay inside.
"Give me the Vajra umbrella."
Chen Zhou said again.
One by one, the torches were quickly lit, and Dian Wei personally escorted Chen Zhou in.
This royal tomb is located in the east of the mountain range, enter the tomb door, the first thing you see is the north and south ear chambers, the ear chambers are generally used as warehouses, go inside to see, there are some calligraphy and paintings, weapons, etc., which are the things that Liu Chang liked before his death, buried in the ground for so many years, have long been decayed.
There are also some jewels that I will take with me later.
Continue to go deeper inside, through the well road, there is the middle room, and there is a stone door here.
"Pry it open, and the Vajra umbrella is ready."
As he spoke, Chen Zhou took out the King Kong umbrella and threw it to a soldier for defense.
Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward, armed with iron rods.
As soon as they pried open the stone door, there was a sudden piercing sound of breaking the sky, and the soldier holding the Vajra umbrella saw that he was about to open the umbrella.
Bell ......
A crisp sound sounded, and the arrows that shot out from the side of the stone gate were blocked by the King Kong umbrella.
Despite this, everyone was scared into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Mr. was well prepared, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
I don't know if the mechanism here is in disrepair or for some other reason, but no arrows were fired soon.
"Go on!"
Chen Zhou said.
Then he was thinking about whether to train a group of careful people in the future to be responsible for dealing with the organs in the tomb, which seems to be possible, and then arrange it when he goes back after digging here.
When the air behind the tomb door was exhausted, and the chickens were allowed to go in and try it, they entered the middle room and broke some mechanisms, such as arrows and traps, but most of them were in disrepair and could not exert much power, and that's it.
The middle room is a room that simulates the tomb owner's life, where there is not only the coffin of the tomb owner, but also various beds, desks, lamps and candles.
"Light the candles!"
Chen Zhou said.
Dian Wei was already ready to light a candle in the southeast corner of the middle room.
Seeing that the candle was burning normally and that there was no ghost blowing the lamp, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Zhou looked at the coffin in the middle room for a while, the first time he went to the tomb, and it was the first time he saw this kind of thing, he was inevitably a little frightened, the first time it was like this, he would not be afraid if he came a few more times in the future, and he quickly overcame it.
"Separate from each other, go to the Backrooms, look for those belongings, and be sure to pay attention to the mechanism." Chen Zhou commanded.
"Yes!"
All are cautious.
They raised their torches and cautiously groped inside.
I'm afraid that there will be another mechanism.
Dian Wei even arranged for someone to be responsible for staring at the candle in the southeast corner, as long as it was extinguished, he could immediately take countermeasures, turn around and run outside.
The tomb robbery went well.
"Sir, there is a discovery."
"There's a lot of gold and jewels in the Backrooms!"
Not long after, someone immediately ran out and said excitedly.
"Go in and have a look."
This is the first time Chen Zhou has gone to the tomb, and of course he doesn't want to miss the situation in the back rooms.
