Chapter 231 The Mountain Shaker(1/2)



This is a dark and deep corridor, or a semi-finished tunnel that is more appropriate. It has not undergone any exquisite artificial carvings. It is not like a normal tomb passage. It is usually spliced ​​with stone slabs or solidified with blue bricks. In fact, it is just hasty.

It was just an earthen hole dug out, and there were still a lot of gravel and rubble on the ground, showing how hurriedly the tunnel was dug.

However, this corridor is very well-preserved, without any collapse. I touched the earth wall, it was cold and hard, and it had a metallic texture when knocked on it. When the light was illuminated, the earth wall showed a black and blue color.

This is because mercury has penetrated into the soil and has naturally solidified the soil wall. Over time, it is probably stronger than concrete. It is normal for it not to collapse. However, these are obviously subsequent natural changes and cannot cover up the roughness of this corridor.

project.

Such a luxurious tomb door, but the corridor behind it is so poor?

Under the strong contrast, curiosity arose in my heart. As I walked, I touched the corridor. Of course, it was not that I was cheap, but I wanted to feel the fineness of the craftsmen!

Shi Kuang is the designer of this tomb. The role he played is very different from the story Liu Ma told. This needs to be explored by us, but not now!!

Now all I care about is, does he... have a bunch of pig teammates?

It is true that Shi Kuang is very talented, but in building such a large tomb, his personal power is limited after all. At most, he can personally supervise some of the more important positions, such as the tomb door, the mercury sea, etc.

It may be comprehensive, but most of this tomb comes from the wisdom of those craftsmen. The ability of these craftsmen determines how big the crisis we will face in the future.

This tomb was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. The truth of that era was really only in the hands of a small group of people. The skills of craftsmen were very different. Some of the techniques mastered by various schools of thought were even comparable to those of people with an industrial background.

The technology is comparable, but ordinary craftsmen are very limited.

If Shi Kuang only found some ordinary craftsmen, then I would really feel more at ease. He is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but is afraid of teammates who are like pigs. He had a dream of taking off in his heart, but his teammates tied up his arms.

With two pieces of rags, if you say that you can be as free as a bird with just one slap, then you are still flying. No matter how many talents you have, you will not be able to use them!

As a result, I was disappointed, and even began to feel extremely solemn.

It's true that the workmanship of the corridor is very rough, but... the reason why it didn't collapse is definitely due to the mercury entering into it for reinforcement.

Drilling a tunnel is not a simple job, especially at the beginning. It does not mean that you just pick up a shovel and dig hard. The balance of the soil will be destroyed and you will be buried alive immediately. This requires a good grasp.

The balance point, balancing the internal forces of the soil, can ensure the stability of the structure, which is the same as digging holes. Therefore, the vast majority of local masters can be regarded as experts in civil engineering.

The corridor in front of us has achieved this balance of the earth's internal forces to the extreme, and can even be said to be a perfect one.

"If this corridor wasn't so big, I would have suspected it was a burglary cave!!"

As Brother Yaozi walked, he observed the corridor and said with a wry smile: "Look at the gully left when the soil was transported. Look again, the shape of the dig is exactly like the hole made by tomb robbers. However,

It’s just magnified countless times!”

Needless to say, he is a master, an absolute master!

Brother Yaozi is a master of civil engineering, and he was amazed after reading it. He extremely doubted whether the people who worked for Shi Kuang back then were a group of tomb robbers!

His words reminded me, and I was stunned for a while, thinking to myself that he is not that kind of person, right?

Lao Bai asked me what kind of person I was talking about.

I thought for a while and sighed: "Shaker of the Mountain! If it is these bastards, then we will really kill each other with every step..."

The Mountain Shakers are just a bunch of tomb robbers.

When did the tomb robbers start?

I'm afraid most people will talk about the Three Kingdoms without even thinking about it. Cao Cao established the Mojin Xiaowei and Faqiu Zhonglang, and he is recognized as the ancestor of tomb robbers...

In fact, this bad start is really not Cao Cao's. This guy is definitely a scapegoat who has been famous for five thousand years.

The common people living here are the most comfortable. In a certain way, he is the most benevolent and righteous person. This is probably because of his great benevolence and righteousness. Just talking about a tomb robber, he was not the one who started this matter. He was also the one in the same era.

He was not the only one who did it. Sun Zhongmou, who gave away 100,000 yuan to his head in Hefei, was much more ruthless in stealing than him. He followed the rules when touching the golden mound, but his subordinates didn't follow any rules at all.

And the real first tomb robber in history was the Mountain Shaker!!

This is an organization that, strictly speaking, originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty Anniversary!

It is said that the people of Shanshan were all descendants of slaves who were captured by the Yin people. They hated the Yin people in their hearts. By the time of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they had been living in poverty. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, they could no longer survive, so they started the business of robbing tombs. First

The first tomb they robbed was that of Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty. This was also the first ancient tomb to be stolen!

After that, the Shanshan people got a taste of the benefits and started robbing tombs crazily.

It is said that this group of people are very good at climbing mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. They are especially good at civil structures. The tunnels they built will not collapse for a hundred years.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this group of people that killing mechanisms began to be installed in tombs. In the past, we ceremonial officers buried people according to ancient rites. We considered natural disasters and did not consider man-made disasters at all.

So, wasn’t our ritual officer the first to create the killing mechanism in the ancient tomb?

no!!

It was the Mountain Shakers who did it!!

After the development of the Shanshan people, the structure was huge and bloated, and the division of interests was unbalanced, resulting in divisions. At that time, some people came out to find the ceremony officials, saying that they knew the tomb robbers best, knew how to trap and kill them, and the designed mechanism was tricky.

It's ruthless and extremely dense, leaving no way for anyone to survive!

A little later, these white-washed Shanshan people simply ignored our courtesy officers and began to work alone. It was at its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period, and helped a large number of people design institutions!

However, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the famous Shanshanmen disappeared. Some people said that what they did was too immoral and the First Emperor did not like it, so he killed them. Others said that they hid themselves.

I thought about it carefully and felt that it was possible that Shi Kuang had invited some mountain shakers to make a tunnel like this. Even without mercury entering the soil for reinforcement, I am afraid it could still last for hundreds of years. Except

Shanshanren, at that time, probably no one else had this kind of technology!

After finding such a few clues, I began to become extremely cautious. No tomb designed by the Shanshan people was safe. After these grandsons were cleansed, their hatred for the same kind of people almost reached a perverted level.

Sure enough, soon after, we encountered danger.

At that time, Brother Kitale was walking in front. When the heavy boots on his feet fell off, he found that the ground in front of him was obviously unusual, and the soil particles on the ground were shaking slightly.

If it were a solid ground, would it be possible for a person to walk on it and cause such a situation? I'm afraid it's not the Hulk!

In other words, the ground in front is empty!

"careful!!"

I shouted loudly, rushed over Lao Bai and grabbed Brother Yao Zi, but I was still a little late. He had already stepped on me, and a long wooden plank with the same width as the corridor suddenly bounced up in front of me.

, the mud and sand were crackling and covering us. If we hadn't been wearing gas masks, we would have had our mouths full of mud.

However, this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, long wooden boards bounced up one after another. The wooden boards rose and fell one after another, and the ground seemed to be like huge waves. At first glance, it seemed to be endless.

Soon after, the mechanism calmed down a bit, and the entire corridor forty or fifty meters in front was made up of wooden boards connected one after another, covered with soil as a cover, and it was impossible to tell with the naked eye. If I hadn't been vigilant early,

I noticed the faint changes on the ground, and if I were a little careless, I would be hit immediately.

Lao Bai carefully stepped forward and lifted up a wooden plank. When he shined his flashlight down, there was a deep trench of about three meters below. It was like a dangerous beast. There were knives and sharp weapons that could pierce through people everywhere. After a thousand years, there was no trace of it.

The decayed appearance gave off a cold light and a murderous aura.

"This damn..."

Lao Bai said: "This is the legendary serial flipper!"

I nodded silently. This kind of mechanism is very simple. It is not on the same level as the heaven-defying arithmetic mechanism. But simple ones are often efficient. The chain flipping board is not a legendary mechanism at all.

, on the contrary, it is very common, but it is too hidden and difficult to detect in the dark tombs. If you are not careful, you will be doomed and countless local masters will die in this kind of mechanism.

The trick of this mechanism is on these wooden boards. There is an axis in the middle, and there are small objects on the left and right below, just like a scale, which can maintain the absolute balance of the wooden boards. One after another, they are covered with soil, and nothing can be seen at all.

I stepped on it and went to report to the Lord of Hell.

However, now that you have discovered this mechanism, it is easy to cross it. Open the flap and jump directly into the pit below. Although there are many sharp knives and cones in the pit, there is always a place to stay, and you will fall without any precautions.

Naturally, sharp knives will pierce the body and kill people, but if you are prepared, these sharp knives will not hurt people.

I did the same thing. After a few of us hung on the rope and went down silently, out of caution, I raised my hand to stop them from taking direct action, because I always had an intuition that the people who shook the mountain would not only use the method of chain flipping. They were

Tomb robbers should know that in this situation, as long as they see the existence of the flap, the mechanism will basically be disabled.

The Sun Tzu gang is famous for their viciousness. The most powerful thing is that the traps are everywhere and interlocking, making it difficult for people to guard against. Quantity changes lead to qualitative changes. You can escape the first time, but you can escape the hundredth.

Times?

This is the characteristic of Shanshan people!

In the Tomb of Spring and Autumn Period, most of the mechanisms are at the hands of the Mountain Shaker, murderous at every step, it is simply a native master’s nightmare!

Therefore, I did not move forward in a hurry, but looked around in the pit, and my attention was immediately focused on these sharp blades inserted upside down.

These sharp blades are obviously just bronze weapons, so why aren't they rusty?

I put on thick gloves and pulled one out to observe. After reading it, I felt cold all over.

This is a bronze spearhead. At first glance, it looks simple and seems to have no clue. However, under the light of a flashlight and looking from the side, you can find that there are small sparkling light spots everywhere on the spearhead. Only after careful observation can you see

You will find that the small light spots are actually small hooks standing one after another, very, very small, like fish hooks. When reflected, the light can even completely cover them, like a thin layer of fluff, but they flicker.

There is a faint black-purple color in the light.

"This thing is quenched with poison!!"

Lao Bai took the tip of the spear and used the skill of tampering with bones to find fragrance. He sniffed it gently and said with a frown: "There is a faint smell of licorice, which normal people can't smell at all!"

"This is poison!"
