The two masters and apprentices and Shi Fei stood on the last stone staircase, looking down from a high position, with a panoramic view of the tomb.
There is a square tomb below the stone tower, with a stone coffin placed in the middle.
The sarcophagus was surrounded by offerings, bronzes, rough pottery, ivory, gold vessels and ornaments, as well as some things that I didn’t know what they were used for and had never seen before. There were piles here and there, almost covering the entire tomb chamber.
.
Bai Jing and Shi Fei were so shocked that they were speechless with excitement.
Luoyang's eyes were fixed on the sarcophagus. Although he couldn't see what was inside the sarcophagus, his supersensory perception had already given him the answer - the sarcophagus contained amazing spiritual energy, and it was very likely that it was a
An extremely powerful magic weapon!
He also had some confusion in his heart.
Last time in Pit No. 4 of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, he unlocked the seal on the coffin, and the spirit suspected of Ji Zhong escaped from the sarcophagus and flew away like a "comet". This time, the seal was on the top of the stone tower, but he
The coffin lid was not opened.
But this time he figured it out quickly.
If the coffin lid is useful and can trap powerful spirits, then why seal it?
"Master, is there any mechanism down there?" Bai Jing asked.
Luoyang put away his thoughts: "Give me a minute."
The supersensory perception spreads like water washing the ground.
After going a foot deeper into the ground, Luoyang's expression suddenly became serious.
Bai Jing was as attentive as a hair, and when she saw something, she became a little nervous: "Master, is there a mechanism down there?"
Luoyang nodded: "Yes."
Shi Fei took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Luoyang: "Brother Luo, your trick is very effective. You use this mineral water to activate the mechanism first, and we can go down."
Luoyang pushed back the mineral water he handed him: "The mechanism is different this time. This bottle of mineral water cannot solve the problem."
Shi Fei asked curiously: "What mechanism is that?"
Luoyang pointed to the tomb below: "You can think of this tomb as a scale. If we go down and increase the weight, the stone tower will collapse and bury us alive. Even this cave may collapse. Once the mechanism is triggered,
, even if we are lucky enough to escape the collapse of the stone tower, we will die in this cave."
Bai Jing and Shi Fei were shocked.
Luoyang said: "The large number of funerary objects in this tomb are decoys. After the tomb robbers get in, they will increase in weight and trigger the scale mechanism, which means they will be doomed."
"Master, is this what you sensed? But I didn't see anything, and I didn't feel anything special." Bai Jing understands "perception" a little differently.
"Yes, the four-eyed wizard was a person from three to four thousand years ago. How could he have made a scale mechanism at that time?" Shi Fei couldn't believe it either.
Luoyang said: "Underneath the stone bricks on the floor of the tomb is yellow sand. The yellow sand is one meter deep. Below that is a thin layer of stone slabs supported by a pillar. The sarcophagus is placed on that pillar, which means that there is only
The sarcophagus can rest on it, but if it rests anywhere else, the stone slab under the yellow sand will break. Once the thin stone slab breaks and the yellow sand falls, the foundation of the stone tower will collapse, and the stone tower will inevitably collapse."
Shi Fei looked at Luoyang with strange eyes. He couldn't believe that Luoyang was standing here, but he knew everything about the situation underground.
Bai Jing suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother Shi, you have to believe what my master said. Last time you did not participate in the archaeological excavation of Pit 4 of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, my master sensed the tomb seven or eight meters deep underground. My master
If you say there is a balance mechanism below, then it must be a balance mechanism."
Shi Fei smiled bitterly: "So, we can only watch and cannot go down. We worked hard and went through hardships to get here, and we can only return empty-handed."
Bai Jing also sighed.
Luoyang thought for a moment: "It's not that pessimistic. You can't increase the weight, but you can reduce the weight. So tell me what you like and I'll get it for you."
"Master, do you mean to tie a hook with a rope and fish to get things from the tomb?
"Bai Jing guessed.
Luoyang smiled: "The rope we used to come down is in my bag, but there is no fishhook here."
"How to do it?" Shi Fei looked sad.
Before Luoyang could speak, Bai Jing suddenly guessed again and said in one breath: "Master, you don't want to make a fishhook, do you?"
Luoyang took out the spliced rope, a piton and a mountaineering hammer from his bag.
Bai Jing grabbed Luoyang's hand, her eyes full of worry: "Master, no, it's too dangerous. I'm satisfied with just taking a look. I don't want any burial objects."
Shi Fei also said: "I think so too, brother Luo, the funerary objects in the tomb are indeed precious, but we can't buy or sell them if we take them back, and they are of no use to us. Don't take risks. We are coming here this time
It’s not like there’s nothing to gain. Isn’t there an ax over there? Let’s just take that ax back.”
Whether a person can be heart-to-heart can be seen clearly in the face of interests.
Luoyang smiled: "I am sensible. Besides, there is a witchcraft in the sarcophagus. I have to get it. It is very important to me. I will fix the rope in the gap between the stone bricks later and wait until I open the sarcophagus.
After you get the magic weapon, you can pull me up again."
"Master..." Bai Jing wanted to persuade Master not to go down, but she was afraid that Master would find her annoying, and she was worried and anxious.
Luoyang reached out and patted Bai Jing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your master, I won't do anything that I'm not sure about."
Shi Fei is not easy to persuade either.
Luoyang chose a location, smashed the piton into the gap between the stone steps, pulled hard several times, and then threw the rope down into the tomb chamber after making sure it was stable.
The vertical height of the tomb is about seven or eight meters, minus the pulling position reserved for Bai Jing and Shi Fei, and one end of the rope just hangs on the sarcophagus.
Luoyang grabbed the rope, slid down carefully, and landed on the sarcophagus.
Burial objects were piled around the sarcophagus.
Luoyang looked at it and picked out a few gold ornaments and some small things that were easy to carry. He took off his tattered coat, pocketed those things, fixed them on the rope, and said, "Pull it up."
Shi Fei pulled the "package" up.
There is no need to take large bronzes and ivory. According to domestic laws, trading bronzes and cultural relics can put you in jail. It doesn't make much sense to bring them back after all the hard work and exchange them for some bonuses and certificates.
However, Luoyang still asked: "Do you have anything else you like? I'll get it for you."
He promised that as long as they find the tomb of the four-eyed wizard, Bai Jing and Shi Fei can take whatever they like.
Bai Jing said: "Master, that's enough, don't take any more."
"Brother Luo, that's enough. Don't take it anymore. Your idea is safe." Shi Fei also said.
It's really rare for people to not be greedy for money in this kind of environment. Especially for Bai Jing, whose family is so difficult, if she takes two more items, she might not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, but she is not greedy.
"Okay, then I'll open the coffin." Luoyang used pitons and mountaineering hammers to start digging out the three-piece soil that was filled in the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body.
Ding ding ding…
For almost half an hour, Luoyang dug a circle around the coffin lid. He stood on the coffin lid, tied the rope around his waist, then hung it in the air, pushing the coffin lid to one side with both hands.
Bai Jing was too nervous to say anything.
Shi Fei's palms were also sweating.
With a series of friction sounds, the lid of the sarcophagus was pushed open by one-third.
Luoyang's feet also stood on the coffin, condescending.
There was a male corpse lying in the coffin, and his flesh and blood had turned into dried meat. He was originally wearing clothes, but as soon as it came into contact with the air, the color of the clothes quickly disappeared, and some of the hanging parts even turned into ashes and fell to the bottom of the coffin.
There was only a layer of skin sticking to the bones on the corpse's face, which was hideous and terrifying, but it matched the facial features of the man riding a panda that Luoyang had seen in the giant ax spirit world, and could barely be recognized.
He is the Four-Eyed Great Witch, the last person who fled here after the fall of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
On behalf of the King of Shu.
There were several things placed in the sarcophagus, including a dragon-shaped jade seal, a jade and gold necklace, a foot-long bronze sword, and a jade medallion engraved with cloud patterns.
These things are not what Luoyang is looking for.
Luoyang lay on the coffin and stuck his head under the unopened coffin lid. When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment.
At the feet of the four-eyed wizard, there is a cyan alchemy furnace, less than a foot tall, and with a big belly, it is similar to an incense burner.
This is it, a witchcraft weapon that contains great spiritual power.
There is no doubt that the four-eyed wizard was refining elixirs. He was able to develop the elixir three or four thousand years ago, attracting countless emperors to search for it. The elixir furnace was his most important witchcraft, and it was natural that he would be buried with him.
In the coffin. This also means that there must be a spiritual world in that alchemy furnace, and there may not necessarily be a weapon spirit!
Witchcraft has four skills: channeling spirits and praying for blessings, Gu Dao, Dan Dao, and weapon making.
Luoyang has initially mastered channeling, Gu Dao and weapon making, but Dan Dao has not yet been involved. With the four-eyed wizard's alchemy furnace, he can fill the gaps in this area.
"Ancestor Four Eyes, I'm offended." Luoyang muttered, stepped into the coffin, then possessed himself and got into the stone coffin, and took out the alchemy furnace.
After receiving the alchemy furnace, Luoyang bowed deeply to the corpse of the four-eyed wizard.
The Four-Eyed Witch was the last king of Shu. As a Shu native, it is natural to call him "ancestor" and bow. If there was enough space here, Luoyang would like to kowtow three times to the Four-Eyed Witch.
When taking out the sarcophagus, Luoyang also took away several funerary objects inside the sarcophagus.
"Ancestor Simu, I am not a thief. You are the king of Shu. I will take these things back to Shu for your descendants to admire." Luoyang said.
The Four-Eyed Witch is in a very stable mood.
Luoyang pushed the coffin lid back to its original position, then grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Bai Jing and Shi Fei worked together to pull the rope to help Luoyang.
Luoyang returned to Bai Jing and Shi Fei, in a very good mood: "Let's go, let's go out first."
The three of them returned to the top of the stone tower.
Bai Jing suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Shi, please use my mobile phone to take a photo of Master and me as a souvenir."
Shi Fei smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."
Luoyang was a little speechless, but it was hard to refuse.
Bai Jing handed her mobile phone to Shi Fei, stood next to Luoyang, held Luoyang's arm, and held her close.
This is not a photo of master and apprentice. This is simply a photo of a couple.
"Okay, this is the pose. Look here and smile - eggplant!" Shi Fei pressed the shooting button.
Luoyang and Bai Jing's faces were full of smiles.
The electronic flash flashed.
At this moment, a huge stone suddenly fell from the top of the cave, with the sound of friction in the air, and fell directly into the open stone tower.
Boom!
There was a huge impact and the whole stone tower was shaking.
The expressions of the three people froze instantly.
The real version of extreme joy leads to sorrow.
"Run!" Luoyang grabbed Bai Jing's hand and ran towards the bottom of the stone tower at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Shi Fei ran as fast as he could, arriving first and surpassing Luoyang and Bai Jing in an instant.
