Volume 1 The War of Wars and Troubled Times Section 39 Xing Zhou Wangshi
Luo Yu took Li Shimin to find a small cave about two feet deep halfway up the mountain, and then told him the precautions and methods of using explosives.
After Li Shimin understood it thoroughly, Luo Yu used the dim light to randomly find a protruding stone with space underneath, and stuffed the vase bomb into it.
For safety, an extended fuse was brought and connected to the outside of the cave, and then Li Shimin was asked to light the fuse with a fire stick.
The two hid by the stone wall outside and waited for a while. After a loud noise, the ground shook and the mountains shook. Smoke filled the cave entrance, gravel flew across the cave, and the sound echoed through the mountains for a long time.
The special operations team members knew what the sound was and tried to comfort the frightened Detachment of Women soldiers and civilians. The Mongolian cavalry at the foot of the mountain seemed to have felt the impact, and their horses neighed uneasily.
Luo Yu and Li Shimin were waiting for the cave to calm down. Although most of the explosions were directed downward, no one could guarantee whether the huge rocks in the cave would be blown loose and collapse.
Zhang Yang ran over quickly and was relieved when he saw that the instructor and the second young master were fine. Luo Yu said angrily: "Why are you worried about me being here?"
Zhang Yang scratched his head and said with an honest smile: "The students didn't know the instructor was here and thought it was an enemy invasion, so they came to take a look."
Li Shimin said: "It doesn't matter, let's go see the effect together when we come over."
The smoke and dust finally slowly dissipated. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave seemed to be undamaged, but I didn't know what was going on inside.
Zhang Yang volunteered to go in first to have a look, but Luo Yu told him to be careful and to come back immediately if anything unusual happened, and not to rush in rashly.
Li Shimin stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, there seems to be some movement inside!"
The three of them pricked up their ears and listened. There was indeed the sound of stones falling to the ground from the cave, but the sound was a bit strange, like rolling down the stone stairs. The sound became smaller and smaller until it was inaudible.
.
Maybe there were a lot of rocks rolling down just now, but they didn't hear it.
Zhang Yang no longer waited, took a step across, walked around the boulder in front of him, took another two or three steps forward, and arrived at the entrance of the cave. He looked inside under the sunlight and saw that everywhere he could see was gravel, scattered all over the floor.
.
The hole was only about five feet wide. No sunlight could shine further inside, and nothing could be seen clearly except for the thick smoke.
Zhang Yang took a few steps back, pulled a dead branch as thick as an arm from the side, took out a small iron can and a small roll of burlap from his arms, then quickly wrapped the linen around one end of the dead branch, then opened the small can and put the
The oil inside was poured onto the linen cloth.
A simple torch was made, lit with a fire stick, and then came to the entrance of the cave again, took a deep breath and got in.
It was almost half a cup of tea and no one came out. Li Shimin became a little anxious and was about to break away from Luo Yu's hand holding his hand. The fire at the entrance of the cave flickered and Zhang Yang came out with a puzzled but happy face.
It's not that Luo Yu is not in a hurry, it's that he has confidence in Zhang Yang. There must be a reason why he didn't come out after going in for so long. The cave is only about three feet deep. There is no danger except falling rocks. Zhang Yang can't handle this crisis. It's for nothing.
So long.
The two looked at Zhang Yang, waiting for his reply, but Zhang Yang said mysteriously: "The students don't know how to describe what they saw. There was a circle of spiral stone stairs at the place where the explosion collapsed. The cooler you go down, the cooler you can hear.
Due to the sound of water flowing, the students were afraid that there was something underneath and did not dare to explore further, so they came back to report."
When the two heard this, they realized that the spiral stone staircase could not have formed naturally. It must have been built by man. They did not know what was underneath. It was such a secret place. If they had not come here to detonate gunpowder, they would never have discovered it.
Li Shimin reached out and grabbed the torch from Zhang Yang's hand, and rushed in first. Luo Yula couldn't hold him back, so he had to follow him in. As he walked, he said to Zhang Yang who was catching up behind him: "Go back and ask some team members to bring torches over.
.”
Zhang Yang accepted the order, turned around and ran towards Guancheng quickly.
Luo Yu followed Li Shimin into the cave. By the light of the torch, he saw that in addition to the rubble on the ground, the stones where the explosives were originally placed were gone. What appeared next was a deep black cave entrance about five feet square.
The torch shined through, and one foot below the entrance of the cave was the first step of the revolving stone staircase. The light from the torch could only see the revolving stone slabs three or four steps down.
This stone slab is about seven inches wide and one foot long. It must have been cleaned by Zhang Yang. There are no scattered gravels and fine soil on it. You can see that there are shallow stripes carved on the stone slab, and a lifelike fire unicorn is carved on each side.
.
The stripes should be non-slip. What does the fire unicorn symbolize? Is it the resting place of a big shot below?
It was luck that he was able to find this cave, because Li Shimin was looking for a convenient place, and he was the one who saw this cave.
It was even more lucky to find this stone staircase. In order not to blow up the cave, we used the sunlight to find a place covered by stones and detonate it.
Everything seems to be God's will, but I don't know whether this God's will is good or bad. The faint sound of running water coming from below should lead to the underground river. How deep is this stone staircase?
Li Shimin wanted to jump down to find out what was going on, but was pulled away by Luo Yu. The simple torch was almost burning out, so it would be safer to wait for Zhang Yang and the others to bring new torches over before going down together.
When I came here, it was late in the afternoon, and the sun was shining slantly into the cave, so I could vaguely see something inside. It was now noon, and the sun was at the middle of the day, so no light came through. A torch was needed to see anything.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yang and six team members brought over a dozen torches, Lu Xiao was among them, and the remaining five first-generation team members were Liu Hao, Yu Dong, Cheng Xiao, Quan Wu and Zhou Ye.
Zhang Yang distributed the torches to everyone and jumped off first, followed closely by Yu Dong, followed by Cheng Xiao. Luo Yu and Li Shimin waited until they had gone down more than ten levels before jumping down, followed by Lu Xiao and Quan Wu.
, Liu Hao, Zhou Ye wanted to guard the entrance of the cave, so he didn't follow him.
There is wind below, causing the torches to sway. The wind gets stronger and cooler as you go downwards. There should be an exit from this underground passage leading to the outside.
The cave wall slopes inward, and the stone slabs get longer as you go down. It is not until you can stand up completely that you look up and realize that all you see is the dark stone wall, and the entrance to the cave is no longer visible.
However, I haven't encountered any danger so far. I just kept going down. The sound of running water became louder and louder, and the moisture became heavier and heavier. Water droplets began to drip from the stone walls, and moss appeared on the stone slabs under my feet.
The flow of this underground river is really big.
It turns out that Guan Luoyu, the lady of time and space, has never been there, but I have read about it in books and on TV. I have never seen any record of underground construction here, maybe because I haven't discovered it.
Zhang Yang's voice rang out: "Instructor, the stone steps have come to an end. There is a stone wall in front of us, and facing us is a tall stone door!"
Luo Yu raised his voice and said: "Don't move yet, wait until we go over and take a look!" After that, he and Li Shimin walked forward quickly.
After walking up more than ten steps, they arrived in front of Zhang Yang and the others. The four torches could not illuminate the end of the stone wall. It seemed that the stone wall was connected to the mountain.
All seven people came to the stone gate, raised their torches and looked at the stone gate carefully.
The stone door is about eight feet high, and a single door is about four feet wide. The two doors are tightly closed, with no gaps at the top and bottom. The width and height just form a square, and there is a huge stone pull ring in the middle of the door.
There are various patterns engraved on the door, like runes, which even the erudite Li Shimin cannot understand. Who here can understand them?
The doors of the Han people are all rectangular, that is, the height is much larger than the width. I have never heard of such a square door, let alone seen it.
Zhang Yang asked: "Instructor, can this door be opened?"
At this time, Luo Yu was thinking about whether this place was an ancient tomb, but it didn't look like it based on the terrain. He found no tomb stone beasts, hidden weapons, or burial objects.
Maybe the seven people were too small and didn't see anything else at all, but whether to open or not open the door, I hesitated for a while.
Li Shimin held up a torch and shined a light on the door, and suddenly said: "There are words here, it seems to be an inscription, let me take a look!"
Li Shimin is about 1.8 meters tall, which is about 7 feet 8 in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The door is eight feet high, including the gap between the words and the words, which is almost nine feet. You can clearly see the inscriptions on it by standing on tiptoes.
Luo Yu didn't recognize it. After taking a look, it looked a bit like oracle bone inscriptions, which also showed that the cave was very old.
After reading it, Li Shimin said doubtfully: "I recognize these characters. They are the bird's claw script used by the Zhongshan Kingdom during the Warring States Period. The four characters written on it are 'Xing Zhou Wangshi'."
Luo Yu only knew roughly about the history of the Warring States Period. Whether it was this time and space or another time and space, he had only seen the records of Zhongshan Kingdom. As for the Bird Claw script, this was the first time he heard about it.
Li Shimin explained: "From the Spring and Autumn Period to the time when Qin unified the world, the characters in different places were different. Each royal family had a set of characters that could only be understood by the heirs of their own royal family. It happened that my master taught me the Bird Claw script. As for his old man, how did he write it?
If I know this word, I don’t know it.”
After listening to Li Shimin's explanation, Luo Yu said: "The literal meaning is that this was originally a garrison place, or the tomb of the Xingzhou King's division, but I prefer the former. It is impossible for an entire army to be buried here.
"
Li Shimin said, "You'll know just by opening the door and taking a look."
There is no other way. If you want to figure out what is inside, you must open the door and take a look.
Luo Yu nodded and asked Zhang Yang and the others to pull the door knocker on both sides to see if they could open it. After opening the door, be careful of the mechanism inside.
The door seemed to be tightly closed, but the six people pulled on the knocker and slowly opened a door about a foot wide. Luo Yu stopped them.
The moment the stone door opened, a stream of water vapor came out from inside. There were no traps and poisonous arrows, maybe there were, but after such a long time, the wooden products must have turned into fly ash, not to mention the moisture inside was still so heavy.
The sound of water flow is getting louder and louder, and there must be an underground river inside.
After waiting for a while and there was no danger, I asked them to continue to open the door. This time, they did not ask to stop until the door was fully opened. The air could circulate and there should be a vent inside that connected to the outside.
Zhang Yang carefully used a torch to shine inside, and when he saw the flickering light of the fire, everyone was stunned.
Wherever the firelight touched, it was reflected back by the things inside, just like the stars on the Milky Way, it was so beautiful...
What on earth is this?
Exactly:
Unexpectedly, there is something in the hole, but it will be revealed in time when the fate comes.
After thousands of years, the king's master has been revived, and outstanding people have awakened.
