Chapter 067: The Rock, the Nailed Key!(1/2)
Sun Yi was also shocked and asked: "It's not the prince's tomb, is it the emperor's tomb?"
Lu Fanzhou shook his head and said: "It is definitely not an imperial mausoleum. Although the regulations of this tomb are somewhat violated, the overall level is not up to it."
There were not many people in the Ming Dynasty who dared to violate the emperor's regulations.
Xuanzhen waved his hand and said, "Guess at the door. If Nian Donkey can guess right, let's go in and see if it's over."
With that said, he walked straight to the door.
Lu Fanzhou looked at the tomb beasts on both sides and followed them cautiously.
The huge door was closed and stood there.
Xuanzhen pushed hard, but there was no movement.
You Lanfeng's hands are very strong. He first gets lucky and then pushes hard.
Shimen, not moving at all!
This is actually a bit embarrassing.
Lu Fanzhou came over and looked through the crack in the door.
"Behind this stone gate, there is a tappet."
You Lanfeng looked at it and responded, "There is a piece of tapstone."
Sun Yi asked: "What is tap water? Does it have anything to do with tap water?"
Xuanzhen breathed out, "The stone is the stone that seals the door. The door of the tomb is sealed from the inside."
Tapered stones are a common method used to prevent theft in large ancient tombs.
Back then, when the Dingling Tomb of Emperor Wanli was opened, the door to the tomb could not be opened.
Finally, it was discovered that behind the tomb door, there was a stone pillar blocking it.
The tapstones are huge stone bars, which are slanted, with one end in the groove and the other end against the tomb door.
This stable triangular structure cannot be shaken after thousands of years.
One stone can hold a barrier, but ten thousand people can't open it!
It is even more difficult to open it from the front.
This large defensive mechanism can be opened in two ways.
One is outsmarting, the other is brute force.
If you want to do it wisely, just like Guo did when he opened Dingling, use a lead wire sleeve and a wooden top to remove the stone strips from the crack in the door.
The brute force method was represented by the warlord and thief Sun Dianying. At that time, there was also a huge tapstone in the Cixi tomb.
Sun Dianying sent a team to blow open the tomb door with explosives.
Lu Fanzhou and others did bring some high explosives.
But these explosives are only prepared for emergencies.
It would be extremely dangerous to use explosives in front of the main tomb inside the sunken ship.
If the performance of the explosive is not properly controlled, the hull of the ship may be blown apart.
The seawater poured in, destroying human lives and the entire shipwreck tomb.
Furthermore, they were doing archaeological exploration and wanted to preserve the original appearance of the tomb to the greatest extent possible.
Brute force is not enough, only outsmarting.
You Lanfeng was prepared for this.
He opened his backpack and took out a few things.
One is a bull nose ring, a half dragon claw, and a ball of thin steel cables.
These items can be assembled into a nail key.
Half dragon claw, one end is a semicircular steel ring, and the other end has a straight handle.
This principle is the same as when Dingling was opened.
He just wanted to find a way to insert the half-dragon claw through the crack of the door, and use a semicircular iron ring to cover the stone strip behind the door.
Finally, the person outside pulls the rope hard, which will shift the position of the stone bar and open the stone door!
You Lanfeng is a member of the Faqiu sect and is very familiar with tomb robbing agencies.
He simply said it and everyone understood it.
Lu Fanzhou squinted one eye and looked inside, his expression not very good.
"Lan Feng, this door sealing stone is probably a bit big."
You Lanfeng put down his tools and came over, peering through the crack in the door.
Sun Yi asked: "What's wrong?"
Lu Fanzhou pondered for a moment and said, "This gate-sealing stone weighs at least three or four tons."
Chongning was a little surprised, "So heavy!"
It is still possible to turn a nail key and open a door sealing stone that weighs several kilograms.
The giant door-sealing stone of three to four tons can be regarded as the dragon-breaking stone.
For such a huge project, ordinary crutches, nails and dragon claws may not be of much use.
You Lanfeng pondered and said, "How about, let's try it first."
It is not their nature to retreat when faced with difficulties.
Lu Fanzhou responded and said, "Okay."
With Lu Fanzhou's approval, You Lanfeng began preparations.
He took a hammer and nails and dug hard into the gaps in the stone door.
Trying to make the gap in the stone door wider.
Then, he slowly pushed forward the half-dragon claw and the rope.
Chongning stood aside and watched carefully.
Only the semicircular part of the crutch can be seen, slowly approaching the stone strip.
Then, under the control of You Lanfeng, the stone bar was completely trapped.
"Okay, trapped!"
You Lanfeng was so happy that he couldn't help but snap his fingers.
As long as the stone bars are trapped, half the success is achieved.
The other side of the thin steel cable is connected to a climbing rope, which makes it easier for people to pull hard.
You Lanfeng said: "Let's push to the left together and try to see if we can open it!"
Lu Fanzhou responded and said, "Come on, let's work hard together!"
As he said that, the five of them grabbed the rope one after another.
"Come on, three two one! Work hard!"
Bang bang bang!
Several people exerted their strength, and the stone door banged!
Smoke, dust and stone chips were scattered everywhere.
However, the stone door did not open.
You Lanfeng did not give up and led the group several more times.
Everyone shouted slogans and used all their strength.
Shimen still stood proudly, seeming to laugh at everyone.
Sun Yi waved his hands and sat slumped at the door, panting, "I won't do it anymore, I won't do it until I die."
After working on it for a long time, I made no progress seven or eight times.
Xuanzhen was a little discouraged, "Let's take a rest."
Lu Fanzhou looked at the untouched stone gate and said, "Let's give up first."
You Lanfeng sighed and said, "Why don't you use explosives?"
His obsession is quite big.
Xuanzhen quickly stopped and said: "The periphery of the tomb is the hull of the ship. If we use explosives, we will all die!"
Lu Fanzhou said: "Let's do this for the time being and we will discuss it in the long run."
"Let's sort out the funerary objects in the ear chamber and find a way to salvage this part first."
