Wen Qingshan jumped into the bronze cauldron, took the camera from my hand, squatted down, and took pictures of the dragon armor inscriptions on the bottom of the bronze cauldron.
I stood aside, looked at him and asked blankly: "Boss Wen, why have you been here for so long?"
Wen Qingshan raised his head and looked at me with confusion: "How long? It's only two minutes at most."
Two minutes!? I was stunned. What happened? Was it really just two minutes? But why did I feel like I had been asleep for a long time?
Wen Qingshan didn't notice the change in my expression. After taking the photo, he said without raising his head: "I have already taken the photo. Let's search carefully to see if we can find anything special."
Only then did I come back to my senses, nodded quickly, squatted down immediately, and followed Wen Qingshan to search inside the bronze cauldron. However, we searched for a long time and found nothing.
Wen Qingshan couldn't help but murmured: "Did I make a mistake? The mechanism that opens the stone door on the opposite side is not in this tomb?"
"Maybe it's just not in this bronze tripod! How about we go and look for it elsewhere in the tomb?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Fatty Niu shouting from outside: "Master, boss! Come out quickly!"
Hearing his urgent tone, it seemed that something was urgent, so we didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly climbed out of the bronze tripod.
As soon as I poked my head out of the bronze cauldron, I saw Old Ghost, Long Jiansheng and Jianjian running quickly outside the tomb. I didn't know what was going on. I hurriedly asked Fatty Niu: "Who are the three of them?"
What's wrong?"
Fatty Niu replied hastily: "Yes... the stone door opposite opened by itself!"
"What!?" Wen Qingshan and I were both shocked. I quickly raised my head and looked across the way. With the search light on my helmet, I could vaguely see that the stone door on the opposite side seemed to have really been opened.
Wen Qingshan and I hurriedly climbed out of the bronze cauldron and chased the three of them. I asked Fatty Niu: "Brother, what did you do just now? Why did the stone door open?"
Fatty Niu replied: "What... I didn't do anything. We were waiting for you two. Suddenly there was a loud bang behind us. When I turned around, I found that the stone door had been opened. I didn't know what was going on.
"
We quickly caught up with the old ghost and others. The group of people walked to the open stone door on the opposite side, but they did not dare to enter rashly. There seemed to be a large tomb inside the stone door. I used the miner's lamp above my head to
I looked into the tomb and found that there were a lot of weapons and armor placed in the huge tomb. It looked like an armory.
Jianjian whispered: "The door opened by itself, could it be a trap?"
Wen Qingshan turned to the old ghost and asked: "Senior Old Ghost, what do you think?"
The old ghost glanced at Wen Qingshan: "I was just about to ask you! Did you two touch some mechanism in the bronze tripod?"
Wen Qingshan shook his head and said: "Although there are many characters and patterns engraved on the bronze tripod, there are no switches. I think it has nothing to do with this stone gate."
"That's not necessarily the case." The old ghost said and turned to look at the tomb across the way. I also turned around and found that from where we were standing we could just see the bronze tripod in the tomb opposite.
The ghost pointed his hand towards the bronze tripod and said, "Have you noticed that the bronze tripod and the stone door are exactly on the central axis of the two tombs? I think this may not be just a coincidence.
"
"Senior Old Ghost, what do you mean, that bronze tripod is the key to opening this stone gate?"
The old ghost nodded.
"But we found nothing in the bronze tripod, and we didn't touch any mechanism!"
The old ghost asked us: "Did anything special happen when you two were in the bronze cauldron?"
"What is something special?" Wen Qingshan didn't understand.
"For example, there are some special changes in the aura inside the bronze cauldron." The old ghost said.
Wen Qingshan thought for a moment and said: "I didn't notice this. Why did the old ghost ask about this?"
The old ghost said: "The bronze tripod is a thing that gathers energy. When you two climb into the bronze tripod, your own aura will have a subtle impact on the aura in the bronze tripod. Ordinary people may not be able to detect it, but those with extremely high cultivation levels will
People can use this subtle change in the aura to set up a spirit lock."
After hearing what the old ghost said, I couldn't help but feel slightly startled, and thought to myself, "Is it possible that when I touched the sun on the inner wall of the bronze cauldron just now, it not only changed the aura inside the bronze cauldron, but also opened the stone door?"
I wanted to think about it, but I didn't tell anyone about the strange things that happened at that time.
Wen Qingshan and the old ghost did not continue to argue about how the stone door was opened. In any case, the stone door has been opened now. The old ghost stood in front of the stone door and carefully inspected the situation in the tomb, and raised his hand towards
He pointed straight ahead and said to everyone: "Look there!"
Looking in the direction he pointed, there was a closed arched stone door.
The old ghost turned to Wen Qingshan and said: "It seems that you are right. These tombs do form a chain, and that stone door is most likely the passage to the underground palace."
"Then let's go over and have a look!" Jianjian said, and was about to walk into the tomb, but was grabbed by the old ghost.
"Don't be so rash, kid. Look at what that is!" The old ghost pouted toward the side of the tomb. I looked over there and saw a row of puppets standing there. The number was even greater than that in the tomb just now.
Want more.
Jianjian quickly retracted her feet and sighed: "Damn it! Why are these things happening again!"
The old ghost said: "As long as we step into this tomb, the aura emitted by our bodies will surely activate these puppets. So I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle later, so everyone has to take it easy."
After hearing what the old ghost said, everyone quickly pulled out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands.
The group of people walked towards the closed arched stone door opposite the tomb.
Along the way, I kept staring at the row of puppets, fearing that they would make any movement. However, the strange thing was that until we reached the other end of the tomb, the puppets remained motionless and made no movement at all.
A few of us stood in front of the stone gate and stared at the stone gate in front of us carefully. The stone gate was blue-black in color and seemed to be made of different materials from the previous stone gates.
On the stone door, there is a huge dragon head carved on it. The dragon head looks extremely ferocious, but its left eye has been hollowed out, making it look like a one-eyed dragon head.
Wen Qingshan said thoughtfully: "It seems that if you want to open this stone door, you have to find the left eyeball of the dragon head."
"I think so, let's look for it!" After the old ghost said this, he turned to Long Jiansheng and said: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on those puppets. If there is any movement, kill them." He seemed to
He completely forgot that he was blaming Long Jiansheng for destroying cultural relics before.
Without saying a word, Long Jiansheng immediately pulled out the long sword and stared at the row of puppets with his eyes.
Others hurriedly searched around carefully.
However, there are many spears, swords, crossbows and other weapons and armor stacked in this tomb. In addition, there are six large wooden boxes. If you want to find an eyeball no bigger than a fist among them,
Easier said than done.
Wen Qingshan and Lao Gui both focused on the six large wooden boxes. They believed that since the eyeballs were very important objects, they must have been hidden in a safe but not too difficult to find place.
up, so those big wooden boxes are the most likely.
Several large wooden boxes were locked, but they were just ordinary locks. This naturally did not trouble the old ghost. He opened one of the wooden boxes without much effort. When everyone looked inside, they found that the box was full of
Copper coins.
These copper coins were smaller and thinner than the common copper coins in the past, and the square holes in the middle were very large. Wen Qingshan grabbed a few copper coins, weighed them in his hands, and said, "This is made by Qin II."
of re-entry money.”
"What does repayment mean?" Jianjian asked curiously.
Wen Qingshan explained: "According to historical records: Qin coins are half a liang, one inch and two cents in diameter, and weigh twelve bahts. So the coins of the Qin Dynasty are also called half liang coins. But by the time of Qin II, due to Qin Shihuang's continuous spree in his later years,
, savings are exhausted, treasury is empty, financial difficulties
Difficult, if you continue to cast coins according to the previous coin model that is as heavy as its text, there will be insufficient copper material, and it is difficult to cast heavy coins, so you have to make another coin model, change the format, and cast lighter weight coins. This kind of coin is called a complex coin.
The weight of bank money is almost half lighter than the previous Qin money."
"Holy crap! Isn't this equal to inflation!"
"Haha, that's understandable!"
Seeing us talking and laughing, the old ghost glared at us and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find the dragon eye beads!"
We opened the remaining five large wooden boxes, but they were all filled with copper plates. The old ghost also asked everyone to put their hands into the pile of copper plates and rummage through it, but we still couldn't find the long eye beads we were looking for.
, on the contrary, everyone’s hands were stained with the real stink of copper.
The place where the dragon's eye beads seemed most likely to be hidden was not found. Everyone was a little frustrated. Even the old ghost couldn't figure out where the dragon's eye beads were hidden.
I looked around and suddenly found a bronze figure standing on the side of the tomb. I walked slowly to the bronze figure and saw that the bronze figure was about the size of a real person, wearing exquisite armor and holding a handful in his hand.
The bronze sword, lips, nose, and ears are all beautifully carved, but the strange thing is that there are no eyes on its face. I don't know if it was not finished because it was too hasty.
I was staring at the bronze man in trance when suddenly there was a "click" sound coming from the bronze man. I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat. This sound was all too familiar. It was the sound of a mechanism starting up! When other people heard the sound, they all turned their heads to look.
to me.
The old ghost asked: "What are you doing? You must have touched the mechanism, right?"
