Chapter 57
Su Jingmo said that there is a mechanism set up every sixteen feet, and this mechanism is the same as the stone slab on the ground, so it is difficult to distinguish it. Su Jingmo's sarcophagus was eight feet long. Qin Cheng used a tape measure to calculate that Daxu's one foot was about 30.9 centimeters today, and the sixteen feet was 494.4 centimeters, which is about five meters today.
The location where he and Wu Hai jumped was not far from the entrance of the tomb. A five-meter measuring tape measured 2.63 meters. That is, after 2.31 meters, the first mechanism is likely to exist...
Watching Qin Cheng measure the data, Wu Hai frowned.
"Is this thing really accurate?" Using the light to look at the ground in front of him, which showed nothing out of place, Wu Hai shook his head and said, "I still can't believe there is a mechanism in this place."
"I don't know if it's accurate or not, so I can only believe it." With that said, Tan Cheng took the first step.
Seeing Tan Cheng walking forward, Wu Hai sighed, put on his bag and followed him towards the depths of the tomb passage.
Marks were made every five meters. On the row of white stone slabs before and after these five meters, Qin Cheng and Wu Hai just stepped across them without daring to touch them.
They walked forward cautiously like this. Although the distance was only 30 meters, they still dared not take it lightly, which made the 30-meter walk extremely difficult for the two of them.
However, there is a small, half-open stone door at the bottom of the tomb passage, which is no more than 1.5 meters long. However, the gap in this half-open stone door is just enough for a person to pass sideways.
"Be careful." Tan Cheng pulled Wu Hai who was about to push the stone door open and looked up and down the half-open and half-closed stone door. No matter how small the stone door is, the weight is there after all, and if you look carefully, it will You will find that the bottom of the stone door is close to the ground. If the stone door is pushed open, the weight will at least rub against the ground and leave some traces. However, there is no trace of friction at the bottom of the stone door with gaps...
Tan Cheng knelt down and carefully stretched out his hand to wipe away the accumulated dust on the ground between the stone gate...
Seeing this, Qin Cheng said seriously: "I'm afraid this door was intentionally left behind when the tomb was built. You can see that the floor is as smooth as new. It is obvious that this door was not pushed open by the tomb robbers later."
After Qin Cheng reminded him, Wu Hai nodded and said, "That's right... By the way, does your drawing say this is the case?"
"No," Su Jingmo only told him at the beginning that he had to be extremely careful in any ordinary situation, let alone such an abnormal phenomenon. He should be even more careful when encountering such an unusual situation.
"Hey... let me see what's going on inside first." As he said that, Wu Hai looked up and down along the forty-centimeter-wide opening for a while. Seeing that there was nothing strange, he could only pay attention to his steps and be careful. He leaned over and used the flashlight to shine inside. However, when the flashlight light illuminated the scene in front of him, a human head covered with blood suddenly appeared in front of Wu Hai's sight!
"Holy shit!"
The sudden appearance of a human head in front of him made every hair on Wu Hai's back stand upright and tremble continuously. His face turned gray for an instant, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
But I didn't know what I stepped on during these few steps. My left foot lost its focus at that moment and suddenly fell backwards!
And the entire tomb passage suddenly made a loud rumbling sound! The walls of the tomb passage were divided into ten pieces, like a seesaw, and suddenly began to tilt from left to right!
This sudden change made Tan Cheng change his face.
"Quick! Come up!" Before his mind could react to what was going on, he hurriedly grabbed Wu Hai's arm, raised his feet and strode forward onto the flat ground in front of the stone gate.
Wu Hai stabilized his body. The white marble slate was originally extremely smooth. Over the years, a lot of fine dust and powder had accumulated. The tilted slate surface was even smoother. Wu Hai tried his best and relied on Tan Cheng's strength to finally jump to the ground before the slate turned over. Next to Tan Cheng.
"Huh -" still in shock, Wu Hai slumped down in front of the stone door, sweating profusely from nervousness, his heart pounding, "thumping in the winter, beating in the winter", and his face turned red. He looked at it with wide eyes in fear. The picture in front of me.
The whole body was affected by a single move... Tan Cheng almost stared blankly as the thirty-meter tomb floor in front of him turned into ten strangely moving stone slabs, and these stone slabs were completely transformed into one piece in less than a minute. After turning over, in that short minute, Tan Cheng could clearly see the scene under the floor.
Sharp bronze thorns......
There are also... a large number of pale bones, as well as corpses that have not completely decomposed...
The corpse has not completely decomposed...that means that people have been here in recent years, and...there are quite a few...
The stench of rotting corpses was emitted due to the movement of the stone slabs. The rats that had been dead for a long time had not been cleaned up, which made people sick.
"One more step later... One more step to play... If we were not at the edge of the tomb passage... I'm afraid I would have died..." After saying this As he spoke, Wu Hai stepped forward and fell into the calm tomb passage again. He was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Ah, looking at this movement, I'm afraid the 'suicide note' we wrote just now also fell down together... Bah, Who the hell would have thought that this big tomb would actually come here... What kind of dead head is there, damn it!"
"It's okay." After calming down his breathing, Qin Cheng patted Wu Hai's back and looked back at the dead head hanging on the crack of the door. The dead head was hung in front of the door with a metal wire threaded through the head. The moisture in the skin
It has long since dried up, this should be the head of a mummified corpse...
"It's not a fake head, it's real." After Qin Cheng said this, he was even more puzzled. Why was there a human head hanging on this tomb?
"Well, it seems that this head must have been there for a long time. He suppressed the nausea in his heart and carefully observed this horrifying head. Wu Hai continued: "This has been specially treated. It seems to me... ..Wrapped in wax? "Wu Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wax?" Hearing what Wu Hai said, Qin Cheng also turned on the light and looked closer for a while, "Indeed, it should have been dried and then hung with more wax."
"What's the point of this? Could it be that you did it deliberately to scare away tomb robbers? To serve as a warning?"
"I don't know..." Tan Cheng thought for a while, squatted down and looked through the stone door opening to observe the situation inside. As expected, there were several similarly treated heads on the ground...
"It seems that there should be many hanging in front of the door, but many of the metal wires were broken, and the heads fell off."
The dark opening of the stone door is unfathomable, like the ferocious mouth of a beast, quietly waiting for its prey to come to the door.
Wu Hai bit his lower lip, "In front of it, it should be the entrance to the tomb, right? We've already walked here, so we might as well go in and see what's going on."
Tan Cheng nodded, took out an incense stick from his bag, lit it with a lighter, held the incense in his left hand and reached into the stone door, while his right hand held the jade pendant in his pocket tightly.
If evil spirits appear, the incense sticks will naturally go out. This is why the incense sticks cannot be lit in Sujingmo's tomb.
After observing quietly for several minutes, and seeing that there was no problem, Qin Cheng signaled Wu Hai to hold a flashlight and step back to the side with his back to the stone gate, while he leaned against the innermost side of the stone gate.
"If there is a mechanism in the tomb, there should be anti-theft crossbows behind the door,"
Daxu has a thorough research on crossbows and is good at making and using them.
As far as Qin Cheng knew, as early as two thousand years ago, people began to set up some active defense facilities in tombs, which not only served the purpose of shooting tomb robbers, but also served as a warning to others who would try to rob the tomb.
The crossbow appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the crossbow machine that can control shooting is already a relatively dexterous mechanical device. The firing principle of the crossbow is the same as that of the bow, but it shoots farther than the bow and arrow, has stronger lethality, and overcomes the weakness of limited physical strength and inability to last long when pulling the bow.
Crossbows are so lethal that Ying Zheng used this device when building his own tomb to shoot anyone trying to enter the tomb passage. The "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin" written by Sima Qian records: "When the First Emperor came to the throne, he passed through and governed Lishan. When he united the world, more than 700,000 people from all over the world were sent to pass the imperial examination. Zang was filled with rare treasures and weapons. He ordered the craftsmen to make crossbow arrows and shoot at those who got close."
Su Jingmo said that the crossbows in the tomb were huge, heavy, and the wood was easy to rot. Skilled craftsmen at that time even made metal crossbows, but they were too heavy to be used on the battlefield. However, this kind of bow could be used in the tomb. The range of the crossbow should be greater than 800 meters, and the tension should exceed 700 kilograms. For such a powerful crossbow, it would be difficult to pull it apart by human arm strength alone. Only by "expanding" can it be effective, that is, using a foot pedal to launch the crossbow. If the crossbows equipped with arrows are connected one by one and fired in clusters or bursts through the machine, it can achieve the purpose of unmanned operation and self-alertness. Daxu called it the "Yin Crossbow". Only used in the underworld.
In order to prevent theft, the emperor who built the mechanism placed such triggering weapons in the tomb doors, passageways, etc. Once a tomb robber entered the tomb, he would encounter the trip wire connected to the crossbow trigger, and then be violently attacked. shooting.
The only way to avoid this kind of crossbow is to stick close to the tomb door and push the door open at the corner, so that the crossbow will not hurt people due to the angle.
Qin Cheng took out the drawings from his backpack and handed them to Wu Hai, "You step aside first, and I'll try to push the door open."
"Push the door? Didn't you say there was a hidden arrow?"
"That man taught me how to avoid arrows. I think it should be useful. You also saw what happened just now, didn't you?"
Tan Cheng thought for a while and continued: "How long do you think it will take Jiang Ping to find this place?"
Qin Cheng's words silenced Wu Hai.
"..., it's one thing whether Jiang Ping takes the distress message we sent seriously. If he takes it seriously, how easy will it be to find this mountain if he comes? It's not like you haven't seen the news reports. Even if Jingcha searches the mountain in groups, If you are lucky, it will take at least a month and a half. And I think this village is probably a group of tomb robbers. It is a gang. With his upright appearance, how could anyone lead the way? I'm afraid those tomb robbers He is the one who will be killed first." At this point, Tan Cheng felt very complicated. Thinking about it this way, the only way left for him and Wu Hai was to die...
What Qin Cheng said, Wu Hai also thought about, no matter what righteous words he said before he knew it, but when he really sees the danger and knows that he may really die, no one will shrink back...
It’s just that it’s too late to back down now…
Tan Cheng didn't hear Wu Hai's answer, clenched his fists and sighed in a low voice: "I'm sorry... for dragging you into this muddy water."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Wu Hai looked at Tan Cheng with a complicated expression, "If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago... But, Tan Cheng, you don't look like the kind of person who doesn't care about your life. You give me the feeling that you will never let yourself suffer. The first time I remember you was in that social studies class. You said that if there was a big earthquake, you would definitely be the first to run away. Damn it. Yes, your remarks at that time were extremely selfish and arrogant. And you are indeed that kind of person
Extremely egotistical person. "
Tan Cheng also remembered what Wu Hai said and couldn't help but laugh: "What else can we do if we don't run?"
"I still think so, you are egotistical, selfish, and arrogant..."
Hearing this, Tan Cheng couldn't help but interrupt, and said helplessly: "Hey, is it really okay to say this in front of me?"
"But," without answering Tan Cheng's words, Wu Hai continued: "But what's the matter with your current appearance of not being afraid of death? Do you think I can't see it? Tan Cheng, you are looking like you are seeking death... ...In other words, we simply let life and death go..."
"...."
Seeing that Qin Cheng remained silent, and thinking of the last sentence of Qin Cheng's suicide note written as a joke, Wu Hai opened his mouth and continued after a long time: "Is it possible that you really..."
"Okay, let's stop here." Tan Cheng made it clear that he didn't want to talk about this and took a deep breath. "You step back first. It's useless to say anything now. We can only move forward. .”
Wu Hai stared at Tan Cheng quietly and closed his eyes, "...then, be careful."
Although the stone door was small, the weight was there, not to mention that Tan Cheng still pressed his body close to the most strenuous corner.
He gritted his teeth and pushed the stone door with all his strength. The stone door moved little by little, and the stone slabs on the ground rubbed against the stone door, making a harsh squeaking sound.
And the stone door opened a little more, and a few arrows flew out with a whoosh!
Tan Cheng also hurriedly clung to the stone gate without daring to move an inch!
Su Jingmo taught him to choose the most laborious corner to open the stone gate. As long as there is a tomb with a mechanism, there will never be peace behind the stone gate.
"I think it should be fine." Tan Cheng glanced at the motionless cave and then breathed a sigh of relief. He took two steps back and stayed away from the stone door.
Tan Cheng was far away from the center of the door. According to Su Jingmo's advice, he triggered the mechanism first and let the arrow shoot out first. Logically speaking, the arrow could not hit him. However, this crossbow had not been touched for thousands of years and had already deteriorated. Some of the arrows failed. Tan Cheng moved away from the stone gate. Without someone's push, the stone gate shook slightly, and this shaking happened to touch the remaining arrows. Arrow mechanism.
"Qin Cheng!" At the same time as Wu Hai's exclamation, there was also the sound of arrows cutting through the air...
Unprepared, the arrow flew out at an extremely fast speed, and a bird's chirp was heard across the sky. The deflected arrow passed through the side of Qin Cheng's waist, scratching the skin on the outside of his waist.
"Damn it!" The blood came out instantly, and Tan Cheng was so painful that he quickly covered the wound.
Wu Hai quickly ran to Qin Cheng's side
"How about it?!"
Qin Cheng took off his coat, which had long been stained red by the blood that had emerged. Qin Cheng lifted up his clothes and looked at the wound, "It's just the blood that looks scary, but fortunately it was just a scratch...nothing was hurt." .”
Although it was just a scratch, the wound was as long as five centimeters long. "The bleeding is severe, we still need to deal with it..."
"I brought gauze and some anti-inflammatory medicine in my bag. Please take it out for me. Grind the anti-inflammatory medicine into powder and sprinkle some on it. Cover it with gauze... I think I brought some transparent tape, so just stick it on. "
Fortunately, Tan Cheng was lucky. He was only grazed by the arrow and the wound was not deep. He sprinkled some anti-inflammatory medicine and wrapped it with gauze to stop the bleeding.
At this time, the two of them were interested in looking at the opened stone door...
Using a flashlight, I could vaguely see gold bricks paved on the ground. But there is still a layer of darkness, I don’t know what it is.
However, this is supposed to be the place where the cave was passed. What is stored is not the pottery figurines of guards, but all the desiccated and terrifying corpses, severed heads...
The wall of the hole does not have exquisitely painted patterns like tomb passages. Instead, there are a large number of engraved words, and the rare patterns are as spooky and terrifying as Abi Hell... Everything in front of you is like a horror park in an amusement park... ..It’s just that the Horror Paradise is man-made, but this place is made of people...
Why was such a terrible passage built in the tomb? What happened that year?
