Chapter 191: Crisis Comes
"Is this a warning?
Or, perhaps, this in itself is a built-in trap in the Quartet Divine Beast Array, an appetizer for a more serious calamity. ”
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Yingxue asked this question, which was not only asking Bai Ning, but also asking Professor Huang's opinion.
At this time, Professor Huang was also nervously observing the trend of the situation in the field, and did not immediately respond to Jiang Yingxue's inquiry.
"The Southern Vermilion Bird is a fire, and the explosives contained in this exploding bronze pot should be a symbol of the fire attribute.
According to this understanding, will the white tiger position of gold in the West hide some traps such as crossbow arrows?
As for the even bigger trap, could it be a linkage of these four divine beasts, so that the entire coffin area was covered by something unknown, in order to kill everyone in the vicinity.
The most likely of these is the basalt position of water in the north, and the liquids contained in those clay pots are probably some very dangerous liquids. ”
Bai Ning took the lead in expressing the overall analysis of the situation on the field, which is his keen sense of danger as an active risk-seeker.
According to this speculation, it should be that at first, traps in the south, east, and west directions will be set in stages, driving all the tomb robbers near the coffin to the north, and then killing them all with poisonous liquid.
"Boss Bai's overall guess has some truth, but there seem to be some slight differences in the definition of various attributes in these funeral items.
Gold is a general term for metals, which generally represented copper in ancient times, but here, there is a slight change.
In the west, the white tiger position of gold should be made of iron, but the red bird position of fire in the south is copper.
This copper is not bronze in the general sense, but pure copper, showing pure copper with a purple-red color.
The purple-red color of pure copper is used to represent the fire attribute of the Vermilion Bird, which is enough to show the degree of development of the Western Queen Mother clan in the metallurgical industry.
However, the use of pottery rather than the denser porcelain of the northern basalt is a sign that they are lacking in other technologies.
With such an unbalanced technology system, I don't think they would have put some poisonous liquid in the clay pot to ambush the tomb robbers here.
Based on the precedent of the previous megalithic mechanism, I think more attention should be paid to the coffin itself. ”
After listening to Bai Ning's analysis, Professor Huang gave his overall analysis, in his analysis, he had already regarded the funeral goods represented by the four divine beasts as the trigger switch of the coffin mechanism.
As far as the overall pattern is concerned, once the tomb robbers who enter start to divide the spoils, it is inevitable that the mechanism in the burial goods will be triggered, and when the time comes, the coffin will launch a sneak attack, which will definitely have the best killing effect on the tomb robbers.
If you consider it from this perspective, this burial chamber is not a burial tomb, but a doubtful tomb.
"With the coffin as the ultimate killing mechanism, the whole pattern of this tomb is not so treacherous and changeable.
Even if we take it a little easier, as long as we clean up the right burial goods, we can continue digging down without touching the mechanism.
This situation seems to confirm the content of the previous mural:
As long as you manage to cut out some of the content, then all the stories will become a perfect fairy tale, and everyone will have a happy ending. ”
Combined with Professor Huang's speculation, Bai Ning even linked the previous overall analysis of the mural and successfully integrated the mutilation into the current reasoning process.
In this way, the two elements of the four divine beasts and the murals in this tomb are organically combined and become excellent components in the wonderful reasoning process.
However, at present, he is not playing any reasoning game, he is taking an adventure in a mausoleum, and he is using his life to try the killing trap set by someone with a heart.
This trap may have a certain logic, and it also leaves a way out for the interlopers in the midst of the murderous machines, but no one can affirm what this way out is.
"Bai Ning, are you saying that our current speculation seems a bit too simplistic?"
Jiang Yingxue understood Bai Ning, and from his tone and current motionless attitude, she could already see the true meaning of his words.
In this regard, Bai Ning did not respond to anything, which can be regarded as a tacit statement.
"For such a huge burial chamber, if only one of the coffins in the center hides a deadly mechanism, this speculation is indeed too child's play.
However, if there are more complex mechanisms in place, they should be hidden under the floor, or in the ceiling.
Hiding these killing mechanisms with such great effort is, in a sense, a surprise presentation.
In the previous process of interpreting the mural, if the missing part was also considered a surprise, then the surprise mechanism hidden in this secret room is the presentation of this concept. ”
Professor Huang's previous speculation was only based on an overall consideration, and since Bai Ning didn't agree, then he could only start to say bigger.
To say this is to say nothing.
Because the crawler robot has just run a smooth road, the hidden mechanism cannot be triggered, in fact, it is the same as not.
"Unless, these mechanisms, hidden beneath the small stone slabs, will gradually change over time.
You know, whether it's cracking the coffin mechanism or continuing to dig down, we're going to need to stay in this chamber for a long time.
The path we take behind us is also the safe path we consider, and we will never have any doubts after repeated walking.
But it is this kind of undoubted trap that will make the trap of change full of endless surprises.
Discovery is surprise, surprise is death.
They can range from heavy casualties to being trapped in a completely altered massive mechanism.
This variability is also a property of the fresco's missing content.
What is missing, whatever you want, has a strong variability, which may be the true meaning of the missing murals. ”
As if suddenly awakened, Bai Ning continued to make a big extension on the lack of murals.
Under his expansion, the entire tomb was completely connected into an organic whole, which also increased its danger by more than one level, which was indeed a little unpredictable.
"There is a trap under the stone bricks, just pry open the stone slabs, isn't it?"
Liu Cheng saw that the situation was hot, and everyone was afraid of this tomb, and out of his own opinion, he gave this slightly reckless suggestion.
A very straightforward solution is to hit whatever danger you want, as if the copper kettle that exploded before was a dispensable ornament.
"Why, did you personally go down and pry the stone bricks?"
If anyone is willing to go down so recklessly to die, it is not Bai Ning who dares to take risks who is staying in the tomb now.
was ridiculed by Jiang Yingxue like this, Liu Cheng immediately looked at his nose and nose, and lowered his sense of existence as much as possible.
The bodyguards around them also hate Liu Cheng, a bastard who likes to mess with ideas, Jiang Yingxue's ruthless nature, and they still know a little about the Jiang family's bodyguards.
If Jiang Yingxue was really moved by Liu Cheng's three or two sentences, her heart was crossed, and she might really use these bodyguards as cannon fodder.
It's just that the process of sending them to death may be more tactful.
Now that everyone is living in a relatively stable environment, you are a little transparent person who has nothing to do, and you are really not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue.
Could it be that the bodyguards who were involved in the mausoleum and didn't know the life and death were not enough for you Liu Cheng to realize the danger of this mausoleum?
"I think it's very necessary to lift some of the small stone slabs."
Just when all the bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief in Jiang Yingxue's refusal, Bai Ning actually agreed with Liu Cheng's suggestion.
This made Liu Cheng happy, but also made all the bodyguards very puzzled.
When he entered the tomb before, Bai Ning was the most aware of the negative attitude shown by everyone, which may be one of the reasons why he went down alone to test it.
People are afraid of death, this is basic human nature, Bai Ning must know, but now he blatantly proposed to let everyone go to death, which is indeed very strange.
According to the general logic, at least some lies should be made up first, and then the bodyguards should be tricked to send them to death, and if there are real casualties, the death and injuries can also be explained as accidents.
This kind of black-box operation is also an unspoken rule that everyone can accept.
Jiang Yingxue stared at Bai Ning in the tomb, and she didn't know if Bai Ning was disdainful of playing some tricks, or if the current crisis had not reached the point where she needed to deceive others into sending them to death.
"What, do you have some good engineering advice?
After all, there are quite a lot of stone bricks here. ”
As always, in order to appease the military morale of the bodyguards around her, Jiang Yingxue could only interpret Bai Ning's meaning as the latter.
"There's no good advice, but installing a stretching device at the top of the chamber and using a rope to hang a warm, wet towel will make it a good idea to hang the small stone slabs.
This progress is a little slower, but it should be a good way to clear an area and see what is under the small stone slab. ”
Bai Ning's suggestion has a certain degree of innovation, the iron railing in winter is sweet, I don't know how many people's mouths have been sticked, the warm cloth is covered with a stone slab of more than ten degrees below zero, and its adhesion is enough to lift a small stone slab.
Hearing this suggestion, the bodyguards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, slow is a little slower, but who thinks they will live a long life.
All of a sudden, the sound of the expansion screws was heard endlessly, and the hole area was quickly covered with a circle of pulley slings.
