That kind of black hair makes people feel very uncomfortable. It's not just black, it's like a lot of gray bugs have been squashed and stuck to the horse's body.
Although it is smooth under the reflection of the fire fold, it gives the impression that there are many black and gray lumps like pinpricks tightly packed together.
Zhang Haike thought this might be a kind of lacquerware that was corroded by something and became like this.
This kind of lacquerware is probably hollow inside, woven out of dry fibers treated with wisteria, and then poured with lacquer, so the outer layer is just a copper shell.
Everyone unanimously decided to take a look at this thing. They felt that the only special thing in this tomb was probably part of the local government.
"Don't use your legs, walk on the tightrope and have a look." Zhang Haike reminded.
The so-called steel cable is actually a piece of steel wire as thick as a mung bean. Everyone has this thing. The Zhang family only uses it when they are children, because the steel wire cannot bear the weight of an adult.
Several people connected the steel wires and pulled them into one, went around the bronze horse to both sides, pulled up the steel wires and let them pass in mid-air above the horses. In this way, people could climb on the steel wires to observe the bronze horses without touching them.
Go to the ground around the bronze horse to avoid accidentally touching the mechanism.
Then several people looked at the little brother. Because the steel wire itself is elastic, and due to the torque, the people pulling the steel wire on both sides need a lot of strength, so the weight of the people walking on the steel wire must be lighter.
The little brother was the thinnest and lightest of all the people present. He understood the idea and was about to jump forward, but was stopped by Zhang Haike.
"Let me do it. He is too young. If he misses, we may all suffer." Zhang Haike said to the others.
The children of the Zhang family are two or three years apart. Their courage, experience, and character are almost completely different. Thirteen years old and fifteen years old are two completely different concepts.
No one had any objections. Zhang Haike tied up his sleeves and trousers and said to the younger brother: "You go to the ground first, and then come down when everything is fine."
The little brother just looked at the bronze horse and didn't move.
Zhang Haike said it again, and then the younger brother spoke slowly, "I know you won't listen to anything I say, but I know that you are in danger this time. You can leave a token for me. If you
If something unexpected happens, I can take them back and give them to your parents."
Zhang Haike frowned, and everyone else looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Although the Zhang family has learned not to care about this, because the so-called crow's mouth brings bad luck to others, it is easy for people to have a taboo mentality, thus hiding some very important feelings in their stomachs.
But saying this at such a serious time, especially when it comes from a young child, regardless of whether it is true or false, it still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why?" he asked.
Seeing that they all wanted to listen, the younger brother no longer concealed anything, "Because we all have no clue. We have been using reasonable methods to solve problems that we have learned before, but we don't know anything here."
Understand, no matter how much knowledge we know, it is not applicable to this place, and we will inevitably enter a very terrible misunderstanding."
Zhang Haike looked at the bronze horse again, and looked at each other with the other children. Suddenly, he felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart. He quickly asked, "What's the misunderstanding?"
"What we have learned is useless to this ancient tomb." The younger brother said, "In other words, we are just like ordinary people here."
The younger brother's words shocked everyone, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Although they have been trying to use the knowledge they have learned to trap this ancient tomb since they entered here, they are all trying to bring this ancient tomb back to a level that they can control.
But the fact is that explanations such as the so-called Feng Shui Bureau and the inversion of institutions have always been far-fetched. All inferences are their own guesses. This is the first time they have seen an ancient tomb with such a layout. Everything here is confusing. From the beginning
In the end, they had no clue about it.
Facing an ancient tomb that you know nothing about, the best solution right now is to stop your losses in time and leave here immediately.
But can they give up?
Obviously it can't be done. The arrow is on the string. At this point, they will never have the courage to give up.
They are all young and energetic men who have no idea what it means for a strong man to cut off his wrist. They have been working hard for so long, and now they are finally done. If they are asked to give up like this in despair, how can they have the dignity to hold their heads up in front of their clansmen after they return.
One child chuckled twice, either to embolden someone or to show disdain.
Zhang Haike thought for two seconds and finally sighed, "I was born in the Zhang family and I don't care about these things. Come up quickly."
Hearing this, the little brother said nothing more, turned around, climbed up the wall, and climbed out of the hole.
Seeing his figure disappear at the entrance of the cave, the child who laughed twice in front of him sighed, "You kid is just ignorant."
Zhang Haike didn't answer his words. He just waved his hands to signal the children on both sides of the rope to get ready, and said softly: "One of them will go!"
After speaking, he bent down, jumped up, stepped on the shoulder of the remaining child, and climbed up the rope.
The steel rope suddenly sank. The children on both sides gritted their teeth and pulled hard. Zhang Haike hung upside down below. He seized the time to climb to the top of the bronze horse with his hands and feet, then hooked the steel rope with his legs, released his hands, and controlled his waist and abdomen with all his strength.
The upper body was carefully lowered, and the head was pressed against the side of the bronze horse.
Zhang Haike tilted his neck back so that his face was parallel to the bronze horse, adjusted his movements, then touched his waist with his backhand, and took out a bottle of "Stubble Water" from the treasure pocket hanging there.
It was a mixture of strong acids. He unscrewed the cap and carefully dripped onto the copper horse's back.
A burst of acid bubbles appeared, and Zhang Haike turned his face to the side. The stubble water quickly corroded a large hole in the back of the copper horse, and the structure inside also revealed its true appearance.
Zhang Haike put away the stubble water, turned on the fire and explored the melted hole. He found that the mechanism inside was indeed complicated. There were hundreds of silk threads that could be seen, and they were all very tight.
Looking through the gaps in the silk threads, one can see a small disc suspended in the middle of all the silk threads, filled with small iron beads.
Although the surface of the iron bead is heavily rusted, you can still see that it was originally engraved with many complicated patterns.
This is a string-trigger mechanism, which is very sensitive. There is a balance box invented by Lu Ban installed under the disk. If there is a slight vibration, the disk will tilt, causing the iron balls to roll out of the disk and fall into the mechanism box below.
.
At this time, the disc has regained its balance, but the falling iron beads hit the silk threads and bounced all the way. Each silk thread will trigger a mechanism.
There are hundreds of threads here just by visual inspection. Different threads touched by the iron beads can trigger seven or eight different mechanisms at one time. End of this chapter
