Chapter 517, Crypt Mechanism
In the back mountain of Biji Mountain, next to the cave that the earthquake shook out, a group of people gathered there, Yulong Xingkong was extremely excited, dancing with his hands, and told the situation in the cave to Shui Rulong. Shui Rulong was also overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly arranged for people to go down the mountain to buy flat poles, ropes and baskets, and sent someone to notify Fan Chenglin and Jin Chengzhang, and transferred 500 people to tightly seal the back mountain of Biji Mountain, and did not allow any idle people to go up the mountain, Fan Chenglin and Jin Chengzhang also led more than 100 people to go up the mountain with the guards, leaving only Hou Jingxian and others to guard Dazhai.
Shui Rulong, Fan Chenglin, and Jin Chengzhang listened to Yulong Xingkong give a detailed introduction to the situation under the crypt, and they simply smiled, they really came to what they lacked, and if the prince was here, he would definitely be crazy. Several people squatted at the entrance of the cave, chatting happily. In the evening, a few people who went to buy baskets came back, bought more than a dozen baskets, Jin Chengzhang prepared more than ten pieces of night stone, and asked Yulong Xingkong to take ten strong soldiers to take a few baskets, and go down to the crypt with a flat pole and a rope.
Yulong Xingkong took ten strong soldiers down the crypt, and walked out along the black rock that was more than 100 zhang long, and came to the small basin located in the ground, at this time the sky outside had darkened, but there was still light in the basin, although it was not as bright as the day, but it could also see the scene of the small manor in the basin clearly. It turned out that the bronze mirror had quietly changed its orientation, and the light was refracted from above, still so soft.
The ten soldiers were all amazed, if they hadn't come down to see the scene inside the cave with their own eyes, who would dare to believe that there was such a cave-like existence in the belly of the mountain. From a distance, there are rockeries, streams and lakes in the small manor of this basin, and the pavilions and pavilions are very exquisite. Yulong Xingkong led them across the small arch bridge and walked all the way along the bluestone paved path.
On both sides of the path, there are pines and cypresses, bamboo and vines, and unknown flowers and trees. The main hall is made of cyan boulders, but it is the top of the heavy eaves palace, there are more than two miles of road from the small bridge that comes in, there is a black wooden plaque hanging on the lintel of the main hall, there are four vermilion big characters "Hanning Palace" on it, the vermilion hall door is closed, and there are two white marble unicorns more than seven feet high in front of the hall door.
This Hanning Hall is only two zhang high, and it looks inconspicuous from the outside, and you won't even think that it is a palace from a distance. However, after Yulong Xingkong stepped forward and twisted the copper mouth-swallowing beast on the temple door, the temple door slowly opened, and what came into view was the steps downward. The ten soldiers who followed Yulong to the sky suddenly realized that the main part of this Hanning Hall was underground, no wonder it didn't look tall outside.
Yulongxing is empty with a big stick in front, ten strong soldiers carry a flat burden, carry a basket and a rope to follow, go down the steps of white marble, after walking more than a hundred steps, below is a buffer platform, not more than a dozen steps away, and it is a downward step. After walking four times, I finally reached the bottom and began to officially enter the main hall. In front of the hall is a wide platform, and the floor of the platform is made of gold bricks.
On the left and right sides of the platform, there are two tombs made of white marble, the tombs are more than two feet long and six feet wide, and they are designed to be like a samurai lying flat, with his feet facing outwards and his head facing inward, and the samurai's hands are placed above his navel, and his hands are pressed against a stone giant sword. The face is serene. There is a standing statue of a warrior behind his head, more than a zhang high, with armor on his body, a sword in his hand, and a deep gaze, looking out of the hall, the soldiers who followed Yulong were very surprised.
Go up from the nine steps made of white marble, is a platform, there are six big pillars on each side, the pillar is carved with the coiling dragon body, the middle of the platform is a royal case, in front of the imperial case is a pair of bronze elephants, a pair of copper cranes and twelve small copper tripods, behind the imperial case is a golden throne, carved dragon and phoenix, very exquisite. On the back of the throne are five golden dragons, with different expressions, behind the throne, two zhang above the wall, there is a plaque hanging, on which four golden characters are written "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".
When the ten soldiers saw the words on this plaque, they wanted to laugh very much, because it was really a bit nondescript to hang such a plaque on such a temple. But if this plaque is a backdrop to the tombs of those two samurai, it is really impossible to say anything. It is not known who built such a palace here. Under the plaque behind the throne, one left and one right are two golden dragon reliefs, the golden dragon poked out a dragon head more than three zhang long, and the mouth held a night pearl with a large human head. The night pearls in the mouths of the two golden dragons illuminated the platform in front of the throne like day.
Yulong Xingkong smiled and came to the front of the imperial case, grabbed a piece of jade seal placed on the imperial case with two hands, and slowly rotated hard, the platform made of white marble suddenly rotated, and half of the hall rumbled, shook, and scared ten soldiers half to death, and after the jade seal was completely rotated by Yulong Xingkong, a one-zhang high stone door appeared on the right side of the main hall, and the stone door was inlaid with two iron beast head door knockers.
Yulong jumped off the white marble stone platform, came to the stone door, grabbed the door knocker on the right side with his hand and twisted it, the stone door creaked outward, inside is a secret room about five zhang wide, ten zhang deep, there is light shining above the secret room, the golden light in the secret room is shining, dazzling eyes. The ten soldiers were all amazed, it turned out that the pile of gold bars and silver bricks in the secret room was neatly stacked, and it was the gold and silver that were dazzling.
There was also a throne and a bookcase in the secret room, on which was placed a black sword, three feet long, with a large green gem inlaid on the hilt, which shone green from time to time. In front of the bookcase, there was a platform more than one zhang wide, on which were placed agate, jade, sapphire, ruby, topaz and all kinds of rare objects, such as ruby coral more than one person high, cornucopia ornaments made of gold, etc., ten soldiers were amazed.
Yulong Xingkong commanded ten soldiers to put the gold bars and silver bricks into the basket, and then carried these gold and silver treasures with a flat pole to the exit of the crypt, if Tang Jiusheng was there, he would definitely be excited to see these gold and silver and couldn't sleep, and he had been worried about the problem of military salary, this secret room of the Hanning Palace could at least solve the trouble in his heart. If it weren't for the earthquake this time, I don't know what year someone would have discovered this cave underground.
Ten soldiers began to carry the basket and carry the gold and silver outward, Fan Chenglin, Jin Chengzhang, and Shui Rulong ordered people to count the number on it, Shui Rulongle's eyes narrowed, if his brother-in-law knew that so much gold and silver had been made in this crypt, he would not be happy and crazy? Shui Rulong grabbed those gold bars and silver bricks, and he was reluctant to let go, his eyes lit up, and he wiped his saliva, "This is all money!"
To say that the Shui family is also a wealthy family in Liuquan County, Shui Rulong is not the kind of person who has never seen the world, even he is drooling, you can imagine how many treasures there are in the crypt. Shui Rulong thought about it, and said with a smile: "No, no, there are so many treasures in this crypt, I have to go down and have a look, in case I find a better one!" So he took ten more strong soldiers, and also sat in a basket and went down to the crypt with Yulong Xingkong and others.
Yulong Xingkong commanded those soldiers to move gold and silver treasures outside, Shui Rulong went to the Hanning Palace to start his investigation work, Shui Rulong listened to Yulong Xingkong said, he inadvertently went to take the jade seal on the imperial case but couldn't pick it up, after rotating hard, but accidentally opened the door of the secret room. Shui Rulong thought that there would be some mechanism, so he looked east and west, patted here, pinched there, and even the two samurai-shaped tombs he didn't let go.
Shui Rulong felt that the appearance of the two warrior tombs in the Hanning Hall was very abrupt, so he squatted next to the warrior statue and observed the two warrior statues standing behind the warrior tomb, but found nothing unusual. Shui Rulong squatted on the head of the tomb, staring at the relationship between the tomb and the samurai statue, patting and pinching, but there was no response. Shui Rulong was a little disappointed, and muttered, "Heaven and Earth Heroes, aren't you talking about these two warriors?"
Shui Rulong subconsciously looked at the stone sword in the hand of the warrior statue on the left, there seemed to be a bulge outside the hilt, Shui Rulong pressed the bulge with his hand, and the bulge was concave, but there was no reaction. As soon as Shui Rulong let go, the bulge bounced up again. Shui Rulong came to the statue of the samurai on the right again, and found that the samurai's sword hilt also had a bulge, and Shui Rulong pressed it down, but there was still no response.
"Oh, no, this is obviously a mechanism, how can it be ineffective?" Shui Rulong looked at the statue in confusion. There happened to be a few soldiers who came back after sending the gold and silver, and Shui Rulong stopped a bearded soldier, "You wait, come on, do me a favor, you press this bulge, press it and don't move!"
The bearded soldier was inexplicable, but still according to Shui Rulong's instructions, he pressed down the bulge on the samurai hilt on the right, Shui Rulong came to the left, pressed the bulge on the hilt, only to hear the creaking sound, and the two samurai tombs suddenly moved sideways. Shui Rulong jumped up excitedly and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, I found the mechanism!"
