Su Jingmo said that every sixteen zhang will set up a mechanism, and this mechanism is generally the same as the ground slate, so it is difficult to distinguish. As for Su Jingmo's sarcophagus, Tan Cheng used a tape measure to measure the length of Daxu's 1 zhang, which is about 30.9 centimeters today, and the sixteen zhang is 494.4 centimeters, which is about 5 meters today.
The location where he and Wu Hai jumped off is not far from the entrance of the tomb. The five-meter tape measure is 2.63 meters, that is, after 2.31 meters, it is very likely that there is the first mechanism...
Watching Qin Cheng measure the data, Wu Hai frowned.
"Is this thing really accurate?" Looking at the ground in front of him, Wu Hai shook his head and said, "I still can't believe that there is a mechanism in this place."
"I don't know if it's accurate or not, I can only believe it for now." Said, Qin Cheng took the first step.
Seeing that Qin Cheng was all walking forward, Wu Hai sighed, put his bag on his back, and walked to the depths of the tomb passage together.
Make a mark every five meters, and the row of white stone slabs before and after these five meters, both Tan Cheng and Wu Hai directly stepped over, not daring to touch or touch it.
Walking forward cautiously in this way, although the distance is only 30 meters, but the heart is always hanging and dare not take it lightly, which also makes the 30 meters for the two of them extremely difficult.
However, at the bottom of the tomb passage, there is a small stone door that is half-opened, no more than 1.5 meters long, and the gap in the half-opened stone door is just enough for one person to pass sideways.
"Be careful." Qin Cheng grabbed Wu Hai, who wanted to push the stone door forward, and looked up and down the half-opened and half-closed stone door. No matter how small the stone door was, the weight was there after all, and if you carefully observed it, It will be found that the bottom of the stone door is close to the ground. If the stone door is pushed open, the weight will at least rub the ground and leave some traces, but there is no trace of friction at the bottom of the stone door with a gap...
Qin Cheng squatted down and carefully reached out to wipe off the dust deposited on the ground in the gap between the stone gates...
Seeing this, Qin Cheng said solemnly: "I'm afraid this door was deliberately left when the tomb was built. You can see that the floor is as smooth as new. Obviously, this door was not pushed open by the tomb robbers."
When Qin Cheng reminded him, Wu Hai nodded and said, "That's right... By the way, is this situation written in your drawing?"
"No," Su Jingmo only told him at the beginning that he had to be very careful about any ordinary situation, not to mention such an abnormal phenomenon in itself.
"Hey... Then I'll see what's going on inside first." With that said, Wu Hai looked up and down for a while along the forty centimeter-wide opening. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he could only pay attention to his feet, leaned over carefully, , shook it inside with a flashlight, but when the light of the flashlight shone on the scene in front of him, a head full of blood suddenly appeared in front of Wu Hai's sight!
"Fuck me!"
The sudden appearance of the head in front of him made every hair on Wu Hai's back stand upright and shiver constantly. His complexion turned gray in an instant, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
And it was just these few steps that I didn't know what I stepped on. At that moment, my left foot lost its focus and suddenly fell backwards!
And the whole tomb road made a loud rumbling sound in an instant! The walls of the tomb passage are divided into ten pieces, like a seesaw, and suddenly start to tilt from left to right!
This sudden change made Qin Cheng change his face.
"Quick! Come on up!" Before his mind could react to what was going on, he hurriedly grabbed Wu Hai's arm, raised his feet and strode onto the smooth, undisturbed ground in front of the stone gate.
Wu Hai stabilized his body. The white marble slab was already extremely smooth. Over the years, a lot of fine dust had accumulated over the years, and the sloping slab surface was even smoother. Leap to Qin Cheng's side.
"Huh-" Undecided, Wu Hai sat paralyzed in front of the Shimen, sweating from the nervousness, his heart skipping a beat, his face flushed red, his eyes widened in horror as he stared in front of him. screen.
Pulling a hair and moving the whole body... Tan Cheng almost stared blankly at the ground of the 30-meter-long tomb in front of him, which turned into ten abnormal stone slabs, but these stone slabs turned over in less than a minute. And in that short minute, Qin Cheng could see the scene under the floor clearly.
Sharp bronze thorns…
And... a lot of pale bones, and corpses that haven't completely decomposed...
The corpse is not completely decomposed... That means, someone has been here in recent years, and... the number is still quite large...
The stench of rotting corpses was emitted by the movement of the slate, and it was disgusting that the mice that had been dead for a long time were not cleaned up.
"One step later... If we play one step further... If we are not at the edge of the tomb passage... I'm afraid I will die..." After saying this, Wu Hai went forward and fell into the calm tomb passage again, silent for a moment, and smiled bitterly: " Heh, looking at this movement, I'm afraid the 'suicide note' written by the two of us just now also fell down together... Bah, who the hell would have thought that this big tomb would come out this way... What a dead person to hang on, fuck!"
"It's fine." Qin Cheng, who had regained his breath, patted Wu Hai's back, and looked back at the dead man's head hanging from the crack of the door. It has long been dry, this should be the head of a mummified corpse...
"It's not a dummy head, it's real." Qin Cheng said this, and he was even more puzzled. How could there be a human head hanging on this tomb
"Well, it seems that this head should have been placed for a long time, suppressing the nausea in my heart, and carefully observed this terrifying head, Wu Hai continued: "This is deliberately handled, I think it seems... wrapped in wax ? "Wu Hai let out a sigh of relief.
"Wax?" Hearing Wu Hai say this, Tan Cheng also turned on the light and got closer to observe for a while, "Indeed, it should have been dried and put on a lot of wax before hanging it up."
"What's the point of this? Could it be that this was done on purpose at the time to scare away the tomb robbers? As a warning?"
"I don't know..." Qin Cheng thought for a while, then crouched down through the stone door to observe the internal situation. Sure enough, there were several heads with the same treatment on the ground...
"It seems that this should have been hung up in front of the door, but a lot of metal wires were broken, and the head fell off."
Shimen's black and faint opening is unfathomable, like the ferocious mouth of a beast, quietly waiting for the prey to be delivered to the door.
Wu Hai bit his lower lip, "Ahead, it should be the passage of the tomb, right? We've come here, let's go in and see what's going on."
Qin Cheng nodded, took out a stick of incense from his bag, and after igniting the lighter, he held the incense in his left hand and reached into the stone gate, while his right hand held the jade pendant in his pocket tightly.
If there are evil ghosts, the incense stick will naturally go out, which is why it is not possible to light the incense in the tomb of Su Jingmo.
After observing quietly for several minutes, and seeing that there was no problem, Tan Cheng motioned Wu Hai to hold the flashlight and step back to the side of the stone gate, but he was leaning against the innermost side of the stone gate.
"If there is an organ in the tomb, there should be an anti-theft crossbow behind the door,"
Daxu has a thorough research on bows and crossbows, and is good at making bows and crossbows, and also good at using bows and crossbows.
As far as Qin Cheng knew, as early as more than two thousand years ago, people began to set up some active defense facilities in the tombs, which not only served the purpose of shooting tomb robbers, but also killed a hundred people and frightened those who attempted to rob the tomb.
The crossbow appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the crossbow machine that can control the shooting is a relatively dexterous mechanical device. The firing principle of the crossbow is the same as that of the bow, but it shoots farther than the bow and arrow, has stronger lethality, and overcomes the weakness that the physical strength of the bow is limited and cannot last for a long time.
The crossbow is powerful, and Ying Zheng used this device when he built his own tomb to shoot people who tried to enter the tomb. Sima Qian's "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin" records: "When the first emperor first ascended the throne, he passed through and governed Mount Li. And all over the world, there were more than 700,000 disciples in the world, who wore Sangao, put down a bronze coffin, and a hundred palaces. Zang full of strange and rare official tools. Let the craftsmen make machine crossbows, and those who penetrate close to them will shoot them.”
Su Jingmo said that the bows and crossbows in the tomb were huge, heavy, and the wood was easily rotten. At that time, skilled craftsmen even made metal bows and crossbows, but they were too cumbersome and could not be used in the battlefield. However, they could be used in the tomb. This kind of bow The range of the crossbow should be more than 800 meters, and the tension should be more than 700 jin. Such a powerful crossbow, it may be difficult to pull it apart only by the human arm strength. It can only be effective by using "slamming", that is, using the foot to step on the machine and launch it. If you connect the crossbows equipped with arrows one by one, and make them shoot in clusters or bursts through the machine, you can achieve the purpose of unmanned operation and self-alertness. Daxu calls them "yin crossbows". Only used in the underworld.
In order to prevent theft, the emperor who built the mechanism installed such triggering weapons in the tomb door and passageway. shot.
The only way to avoid this kind of bow and crossbow is to stick close to the tomb door and push the tomb door open at the corner, so that the bow and crossbow will not hurt anyone because of the angle.
Qin Cheng took out the blueprint in his backpack and handed it to Wu Hai, "You step back first, I'll try to open the door."
"Push the door? Didn't you say there are hidden arrows?"
"That man taught me how to avoid arrows. I think it should be useful. Did you see what happened just now?"
Qin Cheng thought for a while and continued, "How long do you think it will take Jiang Ping to find this place?"
Qin Cheng's words made Wu Hai silent.
"... , it's one thing whether Jiang Ping's distress message is true or not. If it's true, if he comes here, how easy is it to find this mountain? It's not like you haven't read the news reports, even if the police group is lucky to search the mountain, it's the fastest. It will take a month and a half, and I think this village is probably all a group of tomb robbers. It is a gang. With his upright appearance, how could someone lead the way? I am afraid that those tomb robbers will be killed first. He's gone." Speaking of this, Qin Cheng's heart was also very complicated, thinking about it like this, he and Wu Hai really only had the road of 'death'...
What Qin Cheng said, Wu Hai also thought about it, no matter what righteous and awe-inspiring words he said before he knew it, but he really saw the danger and knew that he was really going to die, and no one would shrink back...
It's just that it's too late to back down now...
Qin Cheng didn't hear Wu Hai's answer, clenched his fists and sighed in a low voice, "Sorry... for dragging you into this muddy water."
"What the hell are you talking about," Wu Hai looked at Tan Cheng with a complicated look, "If it wasn't for you, I would have died... but, Tan Cheng, you're not like the kind of person who would risk his life. You gave me the feeling you gave me before. , is the kind that will never let yourself suffer, I remember you for the first time, in that social class, you said that if there is a big earthquake, you will be the first to run, fuck, you were the first It's just egoistic to the extreme. And you're really that kind of person who is extremely egoistic."
What Wu Hai said, Qin Cheng also remembered, and couldn't help laughing: "Then what if you don't run?"
"I think so until now, you are egoistic, selfish, conceited..."
Hearing this, Qin Cheng couldn't help interrupting, and said helplessly: "Hey, is it really okay to say that in front of me?"
"But," Wu Hai continued without answering Qin Cheng's words: "But what's the matter with your appearance that you are not afraid of death now? Do you think I can't see it? Qin Cheng, you are looking for death... or , is simply letting life and death go..."
"… "
Seeing that Qin Cheng was silent, thinking of the suicide note written by Qin Cheng as a joke, the last sentence, Wu Hai opened his mouth, and continued after a long time: "Could it be that you are really..."
"Okay, let's talk about it here." Qin Cheng made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it, and took a deep breath, "You step back first, it's useless to say anything now, we can only move forward. ."
Wu Hai stared at Qin Cheng quietly and closed his eyes, "...Then, be careful."
Although Shimen is small, the weight is gone, not to mention that Tan Cheng is still clinging to the most laborious corner.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed the stone gate with all his strength, the stone gate moved a little bit, and the ground slate rubbed against the stone gate to make a harsh squeak.
And the stone gate opened a little more, and several arrows flew out with a bang!
Qin Cheng also hurriedly clings to Shimen, not daring to move even a bit!
To choose the most laborious corner to open the Shimen, this is what Su Jingmo taught him. As long as there is an organ tomb, there will never be peace behind the Shimen.
"I think there should be no problem." Qin Cheng glanced at the passing hole without any movement, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Take two steps back, away from Shimen.
Qin Cheng was far away from the center of the door. According to Su Jingmo's words, he first activated the mechanism and let the arrow go out first. It stands to reason that the arrow could not hit him. It's just that this crossbow has not been touched for thousands of years, and it has already decayed. Some arrows have failed. Qin Cheng is far away from Shimen. Without the push of people, Shimen shook slightly, and this shaking happened to touch the remaining Arrow mechanism.
"Qin Cheng!" At the same time as Wu Hai exclaimed, there was also the sound of arrows cutting through the air...
Unprepared, the arrow flew out at an extremely fast speed, only to hear the sound of a bird chirping across the sky, and the arrow that was crooked slid past Qin Cheng's waist, piercing the skin on the outside of his waist.
"Damn!" The blood came out instantly, and Qin Cheng hurriedly covered the wound in pain.
Wu Hai hurried to Tan Cheng's side
"How about it?!"
Qin Cheng took off his coat, and the clothes had long been stained red by the blood that came out. Qin Cheng lifted his clothes and looked at the wound, "It's just that the blood looks scary, but fortunately it was just wiped...it didn't hurt anything."
Although it was only a scratch, the wound with the skin and flesh everted was five centimeters long. "This blood flow is terrible, I still need to deal with it..."
"I brought gauze and some anti-inflammatory drugs in my bag. You can help me take them out. The anti-inflammatory drugs are crushed to the end of the rice and sprinkled on them.
Fortunately, Qin Cheng was lucky, but he was brushed by the arrow, and the wound was not deep. He sprinkled some anti-inflammatory drugs, and the bleeding stopped shortly after wrapping it in gauze.
And at this time, the two of them had the intention to look at the stone gate that was opened...
Using a flashlight, I could vaguely see that the ground was covered with gold bricks. But there was still a layer of darkness, I don't know what it was.
But this is supposed to be the place where the hole was passed. It was not the guard pottery figurines, but all the horrific dried up corpses and severed heads...
The wall passing through the hole does not have beautifully painted patterns like the tomb passage, but a large number of characters are engraved, and the rare patterns are as gloomy and terrifying as Abi Hell... Everything in front of me is like a horror park in an amusement park... It's just that the horror park is man-made, And here it was made of people...
Why, such a terrible passage hole was built in the tomb? What happened that year
