Chapter 697 Dragon Beard Arm
There is no obvious tomb door in the tomb. This does not need to be reminded. I have noticed it early. I even said that after seeing the people trapped in the tomb for the first time, I knew that the tomb door of this tomb was somewhat accessible.
This is easy to understand. The pile of bricks collapsed and people were blocked inside. At this time, as long as people with normal brains would choose to continue walking.
What if the secret passages left by the craftsmen worried about being silenced and buried were discovered in other tombs?
The main structure of the tomb here is hard and cannot be destroyed. What if it can be broken in other places?
In short, once you are trapped in the tomb, you must not stay where you are. This is common sense. These people under Tieguai Li are also old people. How could they not understand this truth? They are trapped, which can only explain one thing - they
Helpless.
After roughly identifying the direction, I walked towards the west.
Brother Yaozi looked back and forth and quickly understood what I meant. He couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it."
Lao Bai couldn't see it, and muttered sourly to the side - a pig with a green onion in its nose, what does it look like?
"What did you say?"
Brother Yaozi turned his head fiercely, Lao Bai shrank his head and quickly backed away.
Brother Yaozi took a few steps forward, punched Lao Bai and wanted to beat him up, but Wushuang hugged him and pulled him back. Brother Yaozi struggled several times, but couldn't defeat Wushuang, a bull, and then gave up bitterly.
However, the punch was spared, but the mouth was not forgiving, and he sneered: "Do you think everyone is as ignorant as you? I admit that I am far behind Jingzhe in the matter of tombs, but I still have my mouth open, I don't know
When I was young, I still knew how to ask, unlike your broken mouth. Apart from eating, you only know how to hide behind your back and gossip, just like a talkative woman in the countryside. She doesn't think about serious things, but only thinks about other people's shit and farts!"
Obviously, this is simply a drama about holding a grudge and taking the opportunity to attack.
Lao Bai also saw it and knew that if he kept talking too much, even the King of Heaven would not be able to save him.
So, a familiar scene came, just like the usual fights between the two, Lao Bai couldn't beat Brother Yaozi, but he was smart and cheap, and he could always deftly resolve what Brother Yaozi was about to swing.
The fist was like this at this moment. The guy rolled his eyes and immediately put on a disgusting look as if he was sincerely asking for advice. He leaned forward and said with a smile: "Quickly, brother, tell me quickly, what did you guess?"
Brother Yaozi took advantage of this the most. He pointed in the direction I was going and said: "The tomb door must be there. Jingzhe once said that the tomb has an orderly height and is shaped like steps, so as to distinguish the high and low of the deceased, that is,
It is said that the whole tomb is slightly tilted! Although this tomb is not completely flooded like the previous one, it is moist inside and there is still water accumulation. The water flows to the lower place. You can see the tomb from the water accumulation point.
Wherever it is high, where it is low, if you go higher, you must be at the entrance to the next tomb."
Lao Bai said he had learned a lesson.
Sure enough, Brother Yao Zi had a serious face, but there was a smile in his eyes. He waved his hand and refused to pursue further.
Zhang Xinya opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed everything in her stomach. She just sighed inaudibly. She might have despaired of Brother Yaozi. He was obviously a very brave person, but he couldn't change this problem.
It's as if pretending to be cool with Lao Bai is his only hobby in life. As long as he can show off his skills in front of Lao Bai, that's more comfortable than anything else. There's no obstacle that he can't overcome...
A few people were laughing and joking, but I kept looking at the tomb wall in front of me.
The actual situation is somewhat different from my guess.
From the earliest days, I have been paying attention to the identity of the suffering master and how he was suppressed. I paid attention to the issue of the tomb door, but I did not pay too much attention to it. In my opinion, there is no mechanism in the world that cannot be broken. The premise is that
I found the right method. As soon as I entered the tomb and couldn't see the door at first sight, my first thought was that it should be similar to the seamless joint we have seen before. Someone must have been able to do that kind of precision technology in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms as well as the Song Dynasty.
, after all, war promotes technological progress. Every war period is a period of rapid advancement of various technologies. Death will squeeze out all human potential. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were chaotic times, and a large number of skilled craftsmen will definitely be cultivated in war. To do this,
It's not unimaginable.
However, when I actually got closer, I realized that this was not actually the case.
This door is not seamlessly connected, making it difficult for people to find the door. Although the door leading to the next tomb chamber is hidden, it can still be seen.
On the wall in front of you, there is an obvious protruding place, which is rectangular in shape, just like a door. It is obviously much thicker than the tomb wall, so it protrudes a section. In order to make it less eye-catching, the protruding part is covered with mortar.
The edges and corners were plastered into slopes. Over time, the walls became covered with moss and mud, and some plants grew up on them, making the tomb door less and less conspicuous.
This kind of cover-up is obviously clumsy, but the tomb door is so thick, I think it may not be as simple as being strong. This is a brick tomb in a stone mountain. Because the brick body is easy to damage, the middle tomb wall must be made special.
It is extremely thick, with a thickness of tens of centimeters. If it is the middle load-bearing part, it can be extremely thick. It is often two or three meters thick, with sand in the middle. It is like an ancient city wall. You can blow it up with a bomb.
No matter how hard you try, this door is thicker than the wall. Such a thickness cannot be ignored.
"So that's what happened..."
Lao Bai's head suddenly popped out from the side, and he said with a smile: "The eyes are pretty good, is there any way to get rid of it?"
"In the future, when others are thinking about something, don't suddenly poke your head out. If you do this, you will be like..."
I didn't have the nerve to say curse words, but his head suddenly popped out, and it really looked like a turtle's head. It's just that comparing a human head to a turtle's head is a bit obscene, and based on my estimate of Lao Bai, this scumbag, if I
Saying this, Bao Buqi will be very proud of himself and will definitely say - if it is really so big, then I will be awesome.
Ignoring him, I took off the crowbar and gave it to Wushuang, saying: "Take this crowbar and stuff it into the crack of the door from below, and pry hard. You don't need to destroy the tomb door, as long as it can shake a little!"
Wushuang took the crowbar, rubbed his feet in front of the door, and inserted the crowbar in with a bang. I immediately put my ear to it and made a gesture to Lao Bai and others, telling them to leave.
He spoke, and then nodded to Wushuang, indicating that it was okay.
Wushuang immediately exerted his strength. The weight of the door was indeed astonishing. With Wushuang's domineering strength, which could carry the cauldron, he was so embarrassed that he could only make the door shake slightly.
After a few rounds, Wushuang was so tired that he could no longer straighten his back.
I said continue to pry, maintain a good frequency, not too fast, not too slow.
Wushuang scratched his head and said with a red face: "I...I'm hungry and have no energy left!"
Such a foodie!
I glared at him fiercely and was about to get some dry food, but Ling Ying hurriedly handed over compressed biscuits and water.
Wushuang hesitated for a moment, but still took it, whispered thank you, ate it in three bites in a hurry, patted his belly, picked up the crowbar and walked over again.
Wushuang, who was full of food, was like a high-power engine, full of energy, and according to my instructions, he pried the tomb door again and again, while I kept changing positions and sticking to the tomb door to listen.
After a long time, I asked Wushuang to stop and let out a long breath.
"how's it going?"
Brother Yaozi hurriedly asked me: "Are you sure?"
“It’s a bit complicated, but you’re still sure!”
I smiled, and seeing the curious expressions on their faces, I knew they wanted to know what kind of tomb door this door was, so I gave them a rough explanation while observing it.
The thickness of this tomb door is astonishing. At first glance, it looks like a sandwich door.
However, when I was knocking, the sound was obviously not like this. At that time, I thought that this should be regarded as a kind of machine door. There must be some space inside, and there must be some arrangements.
The most taboo thing about the mechanism door is to use brute force to destroy it. At first, the mechanism inside is stuck, and there is no possibility of using cleverness. At worst, if it touches the killing mechanism, all the people in front of the door will be killed.
Of course, everything in the world is relative. The so-called inability to break the tomb door means relative inability to break it open. It refers to the fact that conventional brute force cannot break it open. I once encountered a tomb robber who was a gangster who came to the door.
When I asked about some things, I just wanted to be arrogant, saying that there was nothing I couldn't do, and why couldn't I blow it up with a nuclear bomb? I became anxious on the spot, and I said you are really sick in your brain. Your family is carrying a nuclear warhead to rob tombs.
Huh? Aren't you afraid of radiating your son into a Hydra? Using a bomb to break into a tomb door is already a fool's errand. If you use a nuclear bomb to blow it up, are you robbing a tomb? Are you robbing a house?
In order to determine the condition of the mechanism door, I asked Wushuang to pry the door. As soon as the door moved, there was indeed a sound of metal collision inside, which is also rare in the mechanism door. The collision sound was crisp and clear, and was mixed with the harsh sound of rusty metal friction.
sound.
"If there is no accident, there are metal claw arms connected here. The claw arms extend from the tomb wall, penetrate into the door, and hang together. They are intertwined with each other and intertwined, and finally the tomb door is firmly fixed.
, making this door inoperable,..."
I said: "This kind of door is not a death door, it is a door that can be opened. There must be mechanisms around the tomb door. These mechanisms are connected to the metal claw arms, which can release the claw arms of the grabbing chain. When those claw arms are loosened,
This door can be moved.
When Wu Shuang pried open the door, it was these claw arms that made the noise inside. I judged from the sound that there should be thirty-six claw arms in this door.
Such a large number are also called dragon whiskers. The dragon whiskers cannot be pulled out, which means that the door of the thirty-six arms is extremely strong. No matter how hard you use brute force, you cannot pull out all the claw arms inside.
Break!
Have you seen the protruding section of the tomb door? This section is deliberately protruded. The shape of this door is an 'I' shape lying back, which is equivalent to being buckled on the tomb walls on both sides.
, just to prevent someone from breaking the claw arm by sticking something through the crack of the door like a pry door!"
Brother Yaozi thought for a while and said: "So, the key is to find the mechanisms that control the claw arms?"
I nodded, then looked up at the hanging plant above the tomb door. The plant looked like a green radish, but it exuded a fishy smell.
Plants cannot survive without light.
The things that grow underground all year round are either strange species, or have undergone mutations, or they are things that have been cultivated by humans using some unclean means.
At this moment, I prefer the third scenario.
"Wushuang, lend me a shoulder!"
Wushuang immediately squatted down, I stepped on his shoulders, and he gradually lifted me up.
When you pull apart these fishy and evil plants, you will see that in addition to their lush branches and leaves, the roots and stems underneath these plants are even more numerous and intertwined with each other, making it extremely difficult to clear out. The whole thing shows a carbon color.
I closed my eyes, concentrated my energy, and watched silently.
Soon, I found the difference. There is a difference between dead things and living things. Even plants have huge differences. Under observation, this difference is very obvious.
Pulling apart a bunch of roots, a piece of dark wood was buried inside the tomb wall, with only a little bit exposed. It was a piece of dark wood.
"It's a good trick to fool people around. If I hadn't reached the level of alchemy, I wouldn't have been able to find out even if I were killed!"
I stroked the dark wood gently.
Good wood is good wood. It has been hidden in tombs for thousands of years and there is still no trace of decay.
Soon, I found some prickly spots on it. I dug it out lightly and immediately found a stone protrusion the size of a bottle cap, like a button.
This method of hiding mysteries in the wood is also commonly used by modern craftsmen. The wood is wet, gently cut and rolled up a little, then screws or wires are installed underneath, and then glued on so that it cannot be seen at a glance.
These small tricks are simple, but they are most harmful to people.
