According to the conventional methods of tomb robbers, Zhou Sheng should sprinkle some insect repellent powder behind him at this moment to prevent the little scorpions from catching up with them.
But soon, Zhou Sheng thought of a better idea.
Although he can't control the things in this mausoleum, Zhou Sheng can still control the props that belong to him as usual!
"Cough cough cough..." A violent cough suddenly sounded.
Xiao Zhang quickly asked with concern: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, I just choked on my saliva." Zhou Sheng said without changing his expression.
Under the cover of the sound of this conversation, no one noticed other sounds.
Zhou Sheng dropped a bunch of corpse crickets behind them. What he just wanted to cover up was the crawling sound of the corpse crickets!
In the past, his corpse crickets were often used to deal with living people, but this gadget can also be used to deal with other non-human things.
Let the zombies fight the scorpions, and Zhou Sheng will not have any worries.
After walking for a while, the group also encountered many agencies and crises.
But every time, Zhou Sheng and Liu Ruyan managed to resolve it secretly without any risk.
So the other people only felt something vaguely every time, but they were never hurt.
However, every change, every strange noise and abnormal feeling turned into an invisible pressure, superimposed on their spirits.
When people are in darkness, their spirits are often more fragile than usual.
Although in many cases, the information brought by the naked eye cannot allow people to avoid harm.
But the panic caused by the unknown is obviously more terrifying.
Finally someone couldn't help but said: "How about we light the red candles?"
The other people immediately echoed: "Yes, if there is any light-sensitive mechanism, we just need to be careful to avoid it. We can't see anything. If we encounter danger, there is nowhere to hide!"
After a moment of silence, Zhou Shengcai said: "Okay."
Hearing this, everyone felt as if they had received an amnesty, and quickly took out the red candle from Qi Ziyu's hand and lit it.
Only then did they realize that they had already left the previous corridor!
"It seems that we have reached our destination."
In front of everyone's eyes, there are rows of coffins, arranged neatly in a rectangular shape. It is roughly estimated that there are about fifty or sixty coffins.
However, the coffins are very crude and made of poor quality, and many of the coffin lids have rust stains on their edges.
In that era, iron coffins were somewhat rare.
After all, technology was not very developed at that time. Even if we ignore the technology of iron smelting for the moment, just carrying such heavy objects would require a huge amount of manpower.
If part of the story told by Qi Ziyu is true, and the General Mansion really moved all the way back here from the border, many horses pulling coffins would have been exhausted along the way.
This iron coffin doesn't have any carvings around it, so it's bare and a bit ugly.
Judging from the simplicity of the coffin, the people buried in the coffin were probably the servants of the general's mansion.
"Don't touch anything, just follow me." Zhou Sheng said.
The reason why he agreed to everyone lighting the lamps was naturally because if there was a mechanism here, it must not be a light-sensitive mechanism.
Because there are several lampstands on the surrounding walls.
Of course, the combustible materials in the lampstand have long since burned out.
But Zhou Sheng was looking at the design of the tomb, and before he had time to pay attention to the movements of others, someone approached the lampstand.
Qi Ziyu picked up a new red candle, stood on tiptoe, and tried to light the wick in the lampstand on the wall.
However, he soon discovered that there was no fuel in the lampstand, so he tilted the red candle, dropped a few drops of wax oil on the bottom of the lampstand, and then used the viscosity of the cooled wax oil to stand the red candle on it.
Under the lampshade, there was a glowing firelight, illuminating the area in front of him.
Qi Ziyu watched all this with satisfaction and planned to go to the next lampstand and repeat these actions.
At this moment, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly began to tremble!
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, who were confused, quickly supported the professor to prevent him from falling due to the shaking.
Qi Ziyu quickly pressed against the wall and looked up, down, left and right in panic.
Liu Ruyan and Zhou Sheng could barely maintain their balance amid the shaking.
Zhou Sheng gave Liu Ruyan a look, signaling her not to leave the professor and students.
Then, Zhou Sheng ran to the rows of neatly arranged coffins, reached out and pushed the coffin lid.
Zhou Sheng's strength is not small. Even if the iron coffin lid is heavy, it stands to reason that he can still push it.
However, the coffin lid did not move at all.
Zhou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the rust on the coffin mouth seemed to have formed a natural adhesive, tightly connecting the coffin mouth and the coffin box.
It would be difficult to open the coffin without using some tools to cut away the rust.
Zhou Sheng was just worried that the coffin would be shaken open by the shaking. Now, he obviously no longer needs to worry about such a thing.
But when he turned around, he saw a wall stone falling, and it was about to hit Qi Ziyu on the head!
Fortunately, after lighting the red candles, the ropes on several people's hands were not loosened yet.
Qi Ziyu might be nervous at this moment, but she was holding on to the rope tightly.
So Zhou Sheng yanked the rope and took him away from the area where the falling rocks hit him!
Of course, Qi Ziyu also fell into the mud because of this.
He looked behind him without knowing why, and then he realized that the wall behind him was falling apart!
Green-brown bricks and stones were smashed down, scattered and piled on the ground in front of them.
And behind the masonry is a huge mural!
Not long after, the shaking stopped. No one encountered any danger. It seemed that the shaking was just to cause the masonry on the wall to collapse.
Zhou Sheng glanced at Qi Ziyu and said nothing. He didn't know whether Qi Ziyu did this intentionally or if it was an unintentional mistake.
On the contrary, Xiao Zhang criticized righteously: "The tour guide and the boss have told you not to move around, how can you light the lamp on your own initiative!"
"If there is any fatal mechanism on this lamp, the boss will not be able to save you in time even if he wants to."
Qi Ziyu's face was a little confused, and he said in a daze: "There is no mechanism. I have seen these lampstands lit before. But, I didn't know that there were murals hidden behind the wall tiles..." M.
On top of the mural, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, facing the right, and they were worshiping something unknown.
The lines of the mural are not very vivid, and they are a bit blurry after being hidden behind the wall stones for so long.
However, the part currently exposed is obviously not the entire painting.
The professor seemed to understand the principle. He said: "Could it be said that if you light the lampstand, the wall tiles behind the lampstand will fall apart, revealing the murals?"
Xiao Zhang looked down at the next lampstand: "Then if we light the next lampstand, can we see the complete painting?"
