Chapter 765 Going astray (Part 2)
The situation in the next tomb was not much better than the previous tomb that was comparable to the cave. When I squeezed through the crack in the door, under the huge halo of light emitted by the flashlight in my mouth, at first glance, the technology inside was
It is flat, with occasional bumps and bumps, which look like some of the burial objects in the tomb.
However, when my whole body squeezed through, my whole body was suddenly swallowed up by the so-called "flat land"...
When my mouth and nose were blocked, for a moment, I was almost panicked to the point of being at a loss. I thought I was stuck in a swamp, and fell headfirst. How could I survive? But then I thought
How could there be a swamp in a tomb? Then the panic gradually calmed down, and after a slight adjustment, he stood up, spit out the smelly mud in his mouth and nose, and shook his head several times, and his eyes were blurred.
It can be opened.
Only then did I see clearly that this was basically a tomb submerged in mud. At least the walls and part of the roof of the previous tomb were preserved. Now this tomb has almost become a cellar, and the poured mud is accumulating.
As the water soaked it, it turned into a thick mud, covering almost half of the person's body. As for the bumpy objects, they were just large stones, stuck diagonally in the mud.
The coffin platform is in the middle. After I walked over, I could really feel a platform kicked under my feet. It should be the coffin platform, but the coffin has long since disappeared. However, there are some rotten wooden boards nearby, which should be the coffin.
It's broken into pieces.
Judging from this situation, the thing Yu He encountered did come out of this tomb.
With me having learned from the past, those who came after me would be smarter, and at least they would not fall headlong into the mud.
There was no clean spot on my body and hands, so Zhang Xinya very considerately used a piece of cloth to wipe off the mud on my face, especially the corners, and I felt much more comfortable.
As for Xiaozhi... he's basically riding on Wushuang's neck...
Zhang Xinya saw the thoughtful look on my face and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"The situation may be a little worse than we thought."
I picked up a coffin board that was floating in the mud, turned it over, and said, "The big zongzi will not jump out of the coffin for no reason. You should know this. Even if something happened to the body long ago, it will not happen."
Move your nest, and you will not jump out unless you are disturbed. Look at this coffin board, the degree of decay inside and outside is the same, indicating that the coffin has been broken open a long time ago, that is to say, this big rice dumpling escaped at least hundreds of years ago
, and then broke open the tomb door, but no one drove the stakes into the escape tunnel at that time, so it couldn't get out and had to be trapped here.
Tell me, what exactly did it encounter before it jumped out hundreds of years ago?
A natural disaster like an earthquake?
I don't think so. Look, the walls and top of the entire tomb are falling off, caused by corrosion from underground water. If there is an earthquake, the tomb will not become like a cellar, with uneven damage!
Since it’s not a natural disaster, then what is it that makes this big zongzi so frightened that he almost goes crazy?”
Zhang Xinya thought for a while and asked tentatively: "You mean, this tomb was stolen hundreds of years ago?"
"uncertain."
I sighed and said: "Forget it, forget about it, there is nothing to see here, just keep walking."
Directly opposite the damaged tomb door, there is another tomb door. Like the previous tomb door, it is made of steel.
In this kind of tomb with a Bagua plate-like layout, except for the main tombs in the middle, the other tomb chambers that serve as foils and companions are basically of the same style, whether it is the coffin, the tomb door, the tomb chamber materials, etc.
, basically the same.
Through these characteristics, you can easily identify which are the main tomb chambers and which are the follower tomb chambers. As long as you find the main tomb passage in the north, you can basically come and go freely in the tomb.
Due to the layout of the tombs, the tomb walls of these attendant tombs are basically curved, and ultimately surround and defend several main tombs.
Based on the curvature of the tomb walls of the three ruined tombs in front, I estimated that we should not be far from the main tomb passage, either outside this tomb or the next tomb. In short, the straight-line distance from us will not be
More than fifty meters!
I am very sure about this. As long as you see the overall layout of the tomb, any junior high school student can figure it out. It is nothing more than the application of pi.
Without my instructions, Wushuang and Brother Yaozi saw that there were no useful clues in this tomb, so they immediately started to pry open the tomb door.
The material of this tomb door is the same as the previous one. It is made of low carbon steel, like something coming out of an assembly line. Seeing this, I am more and more sure that this is definitely made by the steel pouring method. It was refined and refined in the Han Dynasty.
The method of steel cannot achieve this step.
There is no big zongzi to help us break open this tomb door with brute force, we have to rely on ourselves.
It is unrealistic to expect the hammers in our hands to break open 20 centimeters thick low carbon steel. Fu Huicheng did not bring his high-tech weapons with him on this trip, so he had to use clever tricks to break it open.
I studied for a while and basically figured it out. This door is not a traditional tomb door like a floor-to-ceiling gate. It opens in two ways, but it is not a normal door that opens with one push. It is a push-pull type.
When the door is closed, a baffle will be inserted from the wall to block the door. In this way, the door cannot be opened again. It is somewhat similar to the structure of tapite, but simpler.
To open the door, you only need to remove the baffle.
It's just that the hole in the wall is not inside the tomb, but a hole outside the tomb, which is similar to a keyhole. After the craftsmen build the tomb and the dead enter, they will close the tomb door and lock it.
Yes, that's what it means.
So, I asked Wushuang to dig out the wall. Fortunately, all the slates on the wall fell off, so there was no need to smash them. I dug them with two shovels. However, because this part of the wall was submerged in mud,
These things can only be done based on estimates. Wushuang soon dug out the baffle. The sound of the engineer's shovel digging in could not be deceiving. Then Wushuang's hand dipped into the mud and after a moment of groping, he pulled out a 30 to 40-year-old pipe.
The centimeter-long iron bar is the baffle.
Without the baffle, the tomb door can be pulled open manually, but the slide is somewhat rusty and it makes an unpleasant squeaking sound when it is pulled open.
As soon as the tomb door opened, the mud in the tomb chamber rushed out. The impact force was not small, but after all, it was mud, not water, and the fluidity was not that strong, so it stopped quickly.
As I expected, when I opened the tomb door, there was indeed a wide tomb passage outside.
This tomb passage is large enough for three or four people to walk side by side. It should undoubtedly be the main tomb passage. When the tomb was built, this was the first thing to be built. If it was not wide enough, some construction materials would not be transported in.
Because it is the most important place for tombs, the structure is also extremely strong. It doesn’t matter that the other tombs have collapsed, but this one is extremely well preserved!!
Of course, if this tomb passage is also damaged, it is better for us to evacuate quickly, because this means that the entire tomb is already crumbling, and if there is a little noise, everyone will be buried alive inside.
The main tomb passage is well preserved, which means that the main tomb chamber and slightly more important tomb chambers are well preserved, and these main structures are the same!
Of course Lao Bai knew this, so the moment he saw the main tomb passage, he cheered and crawled out through the mud. It was not so much that the light was in the dark, but it was more that he couldn't stand the soak. First of all,
The cold underground water and mud are almost soaking off the skin, and the palms of the hands are already wrinkled and disfigured. At this time, anyone who encounters a drier place to stay will probably be overjoyed.
However... Lao Bai's surprise did not last long. As soon as he got out and turned around, the joy on his face solidified, replaced by deep fear. When he opened his mouth, hysterical screams came out of his throat.
Call.
"ah!!!!"
