Zhou Sheng held the bamboo slip slightly lower so that others could see the content clearly.
The professor stepped forward, looked at the bamboo slip repeatedly and said: "This bamboo slip is too well preserved, and there is no signature. It is difficult to judge whether it is from that dynasty."
"However, there are some problems with what is written on it. Strictly speaking, 'I examine myself three times every day' is indeed a situation in the Analects. But being kind to others is a concept proposed in Mencius."
This patchwork of things makes this sentence look different and slightly funny.
However, since it appears here, it is not to show how poor the cultural level of the owner was back then.
Naturally, Zhou Sheng was not the only one to notice the connection between the murals and the tomb.
Xiao Zhang said: "I remember that in the room where there were many coffins, the first of the four murals depicted the scene of people worshiping. And just now, under the guidance of the bell, what Qi Ziyu did was to worship.
The act of worshiping.”
"So, does this room now correspond to the title of the second painting, "Question Chapter"?"
Zhou Sheng glanced at Xiao Zhang with admiration. He really didn't expect that this young man who looked a little fussy could observe so carefully.
As Xiao Zhang was talking, he noticed that the eyes of several other people were focused on him, and he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I, this is just a guess. And even if the tomb and the murals are really connected, I don't know what we should do."
Indeed, "Wen Zhang" sounds a bit like an examination method in ancient Confucianism, but this kind of place does not look like an environment where examinations can be conducted.
Even if they want to imitate the content in the painting, they are unable to do so.
Moreover, this floor-shaped cable car is still in operation at this moment, and the moving chain has made several turns along the way, and it is unclear where it will take everyone.
Zhou Sheng said: "If you ask, there will naturally be an answer. If the mural is really a reminder, then this tomb should provide us with an opportunity to answer."
Zhou Sheng's voice was still calm and calm, as if the current situation was still not enough to cause him to have emotional fluctuations.
However, Zhou Sheng's heart at this moment was not as indifferent as he showed.
He couldn't tell what the reason was, but he felt a little irritable for no reason from the beginning.
Zhou Sheng no longer wanted to accompany these people to explore slowly, and even wanted to forcefully and destructively dismantle the tomb, but his reason still told him not to do so.
At this moment, the movement of the floor stopped suddenly, and due to inertia, the chain swayed in the air a few times.
The swing is not big, just like swinging, but the swing high in the tomb is really frightening.
Fortunately, the five people were close together and no one lost their balance due to this brief shaking.
After the floor stopped, two protruding platforms appeared five meters ahead on the left and right sides.
The two platforms are symmetrical, but one is red and the other is black, as if to symbolize different choices.
Xiao Zhang said quickly: "I know, this is the answer! According to the questions in the box, if the answer is yes, we will jump to the red platform, if not, we will choose black."
Xiao Wang added: "It may also be contrary to common sense. Red represents no and black represents yes."
Two different platforms obviously represent different paths, but no matter which solution they choose, they don't know which one is the right answer.
The question of "whether you are kind to others" may be related to the design in front of the tomb, or it may be related to the experience of the general back then.
But none of them have a clear judgment on this.
Therefore, right now, choosing between a red platform or a black platform is just a blind choice.
However, this table is embedded in the wall, and it obviously will not fall off as easily as the floor hung by chains.
Zhou Sheng observed that there was no mechanism design behind the wall protruding from the platform, it was just an ordinary wall.
In this case, he glanced at Liu Ruyan, and Liu Ruyan immediately took action boldly.
She first stepped on the red steps, and as her steps fell, the metallic sound of friction between chains and pulleys sounded again.
But this time, what moved was not the floor where several people were standing before, but another large floor with a coffin on it.
The floor hovered in front of Liu Ruyan, as if waiting for her to step on it.
Liu Ruyan was not in a hurry to act. She first returned to the floor where everyone was standing, and then jumped to the black platform.
Immediately afterwards, a very small floor was transported in front of her under the operation of the chain pulley.
This floor was occupied by a bamboo tube the size of a roll of toilet paper, leaving almost no space for people to put their feet on.
In order for everyone to move together, they chose a large area of floor in front of the red platform.
After stepping on the floor this time, it did not fall off again.
It seems that everyone's guess is correct. This tomb chamber is indeed consistent with the mural of Wenzhang. Once the mechanism is triggered, only by answering the questions can you safely walk to the next floor.
Otherwise, if they climb on the floor at will, it will only cause the floor to fall off!
However, after arriving safely on this huge floor, everyone looked at the coffin in front of them and had trouble again.
If they followed the action just now, they should open the coffin at this moment, take out the questions inside, and answer them again.
However, the pattern on this coffin made of black wood is obviously much more delicate than the coffin in the previous tomb.
If there is a corpse buried inside, this person's status during life must have been nobler than that of the servants outside.
However, no one can guarantee whether such a "noble" corpse will undergo corpse transformation.
At present, the distance they can move is very limited, and fighting in a small space is far more dangerous than in the previous tomb.
After all, although that tomb was dangerous, it still left room for people to escape, and here, they had nowhere to escape!
At this time, Zhou Sheng took two steps forward and wanted to open the coffin. At worst, it was just to expose his strength. A rice dumpling in a small tomb would not bring him any trouble.
However, someone moved faster than Zhou Sheng. Xiao Wang, who had always been honest before, suddenly shouted loudly, then pushed the coffin lid with both hands and suddenly exerted force to lift it.
If Zhou Sheng was the only one who became impatient, he might not notice anything unusual.
But now, even Xiao Wang's behavior was unusual. Zhou Sheng immediately realized that there must be something disturbing their emotions!
