Chapter 747: Entering the Tomb
Chen Jianping listened carefully to the movements in the tomb, looked at the iron ring in Wu Datong's hand, and whispered: "What are you doing? You don't want to use this wire to pierce this stone door, do you?"
Wu Datong grinned and said: "If he wants a lock, I can, but I can't find a lock on the entire door, so I have to think of another way!"
Wu Datong approached the stone gate to carefully observe the crack in the door, Chen Jianping frowned, and whispered to Nalan Yue: "Torch closer, light is needed here!"
Nalan Yue glanced at Chen Jianping fiercely, and was so angry that she raised the torch to Wu Datong's ear near the crack of the stone gate, and muttered: "Miss Ben has always been surrounded by three servants and two maids, and today I have to wait for you to illuminate it!"
Chen Jianping smiled apologetically at Nalan Yue, turned his head to Wu Datong, and said suspiciously: "Wu Datong, why is there still a smell of burnt paste in the tomb!"
Wu Datong suddenly dodged to the side, quickly slapped the sideburns in his ear, and said sharply: "What kind of tomb burnt smell, it's my hair!"
It turned out that Nalan Yue raised the torch and was too close to Wu Datong's ear, and actually burned the hair in his ear, half of his hair was burned, and even the beard on his face was burned.
Nalan Yue smiled apologetically, apologized again and again, and hurriedly wiped the black ash next to Wu Datong's face with a handkerchief.
Wu Datong looked at Nalan Yue seriously and said, "You did it on purpose!"
Nalan Yue smiled apologetically while wiping the ashes on Wu Datong's face and whispered: "I really didn't mean it, I swear to the thing that gasped inside, if I did it on purpose, I would ...... it."
Before Nalan Yue finished speaking, Wu Datong slapped Nalan Yue's hand open, and said angrily: "Taboo! Don't talk nonsense, can you make some taboos!"
Chen Jianping and Nalan Yue looked inexplicably disapproving, Wu Datong shook his head, took out a thin iron ruler, squatted down, and used the iron ruler to scrape the moss and dirt in the gap between the two stone doors.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Datong began to insert an iron ruler into the gap between the two stone doors from top to bottom, Chen Jianping looked carefully, and saw that the iron ruler was inserted half a foot deep, and he felt that it was blocked by a hard object.
Wu Datong slowly lifted the iron ruler up along the crack of the stone gate, and when it was raised by about one and a half feet, the iron ruler in Wu Datong's hand suddenly slipped in, and he inserted half a foot into it.
Chen Jianping frowned slightly and asked, "Could it be that there is something blocking the bottom of the stone gate, so this stone gate can't be opened?"
Wu Datong nodded, slowly took the iron ruler and continued to draw up in the crack of the door, when his arm reached the highest, there was still more than half a foot from the top of the door, Wu Datong looked sideways at Chen Jianping, and said: "Master, you have to try the rest, I can't reach it!"
Nalan Yue almost didn't laugh on the side, Chen Jianping stood up, took the ruler and scratched it all the way to the top of the stone door, and found that there was no hindrance, the entire ruler could insert the crack in the door, presumably there was nothing behind the door.
Chen Jianping was worried when he drew the gap in the stone gate, this stone gate looked almost a foot thick, no matter how strong his skills were, after all, he was a mortal fetus, no matter what, he couldn't shake such a thick bluestone, it was difficult to gallop across the country on weekdays, but today he wanted to make a stone gate stump?
But seeing that Wu Datong seemed to be confident, he said in a low voice: "As expected, only there is a top door stone under the stone gate, which is much easier to do!"
When Chen Jianping heard this, he was overjoyed and asked in a low voice, "What? Do you have a way to open this stone door?"
Before Wu Datong could reply, Qi Ruoxue said in a strange way on the side: "Then you don't need to ask, your eldest apprentice used to specialize in this!"
When Wu Datong heard this, he rolled his eyes, threw the wire in his hand, and said in a suppressed voice: "Don't be here in this yin and yang weirdness, Lao Tzu won't do it!
Nalan Yue was not used to seeing Wu Datong, and when she heard him say this, she suddenly became angry and said in a low voice: "Hey, you still hold it, believe it or not, I ...... it."
Chen Jianping hurriedly stopped her, smiled at Wu Datong, and said: "Apprentice, although it was disgraceful to dig graves and rob tombs in the past, most of them were forced by life, and it can be regarded as a reason, if you can use your craftsmanship today, enter the tomb, and seize the red smoke stove, this is a matter for the benefit of the world, he will spread it out in the future, and he will become a good name for a thief, it will definitely become a beautiful conversation in the rivers and lakes, and those who become big things are not informal, so let's do it quickly!"
Chen Jianping's words obviously hit Wu Datong's heart, I saw him snort coldly, happily picked up the wire on the ground, and walked towards the stone gate, Nalan Yue looked angry, and Chen Jianping glanced at her vigorously.
I saw that Wu Datong now bent the wire into a circle the size of a basin, and then inserted the entire wire ring vertically from the crack of the stone door, and then slowly turned the vertical wire loop sideways, and slowly moved along the crack of the stone door.
After about a cup of tea, the wire moved to the lowest end of the stone door against the ground, and then slowly pulled the wire outward, only to hear a sound, the wire was pulled out violently, but the stone door was still blocked by the things behind the door and could not be opened.
Wu Datong was not in a hurry, bent the wire into a circle again, this time the circle was reduced by a few points, and inserted the wire into the stone door according to the method just now, and when the yard reached the low end of the stone gate, he pulled the wire hard, but he didn't want to fail again.
Wu Datong was not discouraged, constantly adjusted the size of the wire ring, and then repeated the practice just now, and tried dozens of times, but all of them were unsuccessful, Chen Jianping and Nalan Yue, who were watching from the side, were anxious but did not dare to speak out loudly.
Wu Datong persevered, repeating over and over again, only to see that when he wiped the ground and pulled the wire out this time, he pulled the wire diagonally upwards slightly, although the wire was pulled out suddenly, and there were two slight sounds of "dong dong" suddenly from behind the stone door.
This voice sounded like the sound of two stones colliding, Wu Datong's face was happy, and he whispered excitedly: "There is a door!"
Then, Wu Datong inserted the iron ring into the crack of the door again, this time pulling more slowly and tilting upwards at a greater angle.
As more and more parts of the wire were pulled out, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Wu Datong's mouth, and only the sound of "Cave Tong" came from inside the stone gate, which seemed to be a big stone ball rolling.
Wu Datong pointed to the stone gate, nodded slightly at Chen Jianping, and then pressed his right ear tightly against the stone door, listening carefully, Chen Jianping also took a deep breath to adjust his internal breath, and tried his best to listen inside.
At this moment, there was no sound inside, Chen Jianping and Wu Datong pushed the stone gate on the left, and the sound of the stone door and the ground suddenly rubbing against each other, this sound was like the sound of a stone mill turning, and the stone door on the left was pushed open a crack more than a foot wide.
Chen Jianping was overjoyed in his heart, and was just about to push harder, Wu Datong slowly waved his hand, signaled Chen Jianping to stop, lit the extinguished torch on the ground, and threw the torch inside along the crack in the door.
By the light of the fire, the two of them looked inside, and saw that the space inside seemed to be very large, and there were several heavy sarcophagi in the area illuminated by the firelight, and the rest of the place was too dark to see clearly.
Wu Datong pushed the stone door open a little more, Chen Jianping dodged and rushed into the tomb, rolled on the spot and leaned against a sarcophagus, Wu Datong and Nalan Yue followed in with torches.
By the light of the fire, Chen Jianping looked back at the stone gate, and saw a large stone ball on the side, presumably this stone ball was blocked on the stone door, and it turned out that there was an exquisite arrangement at the bottom of the inner side of the stone gate.
A stone groove was dug along the semi-arc formed between the bottom of the stone door switch and the ground, and then a semicircular hole was made in the ground from the gap between the two stone doors closed at the bottom of the inner side.
When the mourners come out of it, the huge cobblestone rolls towards the bottom of the door with the closing of the door in a semi-arc groove, and when the two stone doors are completely closed, the stone ball rolls down into the round hole on the inside of the bottom of the stone door.
In this way, when the people outside close the stone door tightly, the ball falls into the pit in the middle of the gap at the bottom of the stone door on the inner side, half of it is trapped in the pit, and half of it is blocked by the heavy sword of the two stone doors, so that it does not prevent the mourners from leaving the tomb, and can also hold the door of the tomb from the inside when there is no one in the tomb.
Wu Datong used an iron circle, put it on the part where the stone ball came into contact with the pit, and pulled it hard to make the stone ball pop out of the hole under force, so that the stone door could be opened.
Chen Jianping was amazed at the ingenious arrangement in his heart, and he was also impressed by people's scheming, so hard work, after all, it was easy to be cracked, all the tricks were clever, but it was just self-deception!
At this moment, Nalan Yue cautiously came to Chen Jianping's side, pointed to the south side of the tomb, and said, "Look, it's a little strange over there, there seems to be someone!"
